If it were someone else, no matter how urgent things were, it would be impossible to make this exception. After all, the factory has to go through the process, and the payment can not be settled until May 3 at the earliest. This is still a relatively iron relationship, and the payment for goods that have not been delayed for several months is commonplace.

"Tomorrow was supposed to be a holiday, but it doesn't matter, I can ask the finance department to work overtime to settle your accounts, and then let Director Zhang personally call you, and the people in the finance department will not be lazy if he sends a message, and it is estimated that the money will be handed over to you before noon tomorrow." ”

"Uncle Zhou, didn't Uncle Zhang come back with you?"

Zhou Hongbao shook his head: "Originally, he was going to come back with me, but his daughter called him halfway, and he hurried to school after receiving the call." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang has seen Zhang Guangmao's daughter, who is a very difficult girl to get along with, probably because she is in a rebellious period, she has a straight face when she sees everyone.

Niu Xiaoqiang didn't want to inquire about other people's housework, and after negotiating the payment, a stone in his heart fell to the ground, and he chatted with Zhou Hongbao while eating.

Zhou Hongbao kept looking at his watch, and when Niu Xiaoqiang was almost finished eating, he proposed: "Are you free at night? I'll take you to try it later." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang was puzzled: "I just ate the meal, what do you taste?"

Zhou Hongbao smiled slightly: "You misunderstood what I meant, what I said about tasting fresh is not about eating, but about going to the dance hall to see what is fresh." ”

"Cabaret?"

"Yes, the boss gave me several tickets, let me go to the show, I haven't had time to pass, I just have time today, plus you are here, why don't we go together." ”

The song and dance hall is an absolutely new thing for the mountain people, the vast majority of the mountain people have never heard of it, but it is not too unusual for the city people, especially in the developed coastal areas, the song and dance hall has been very popular, and it is the most favorite entertainment place for young people who pursue the trend.

When Niu Xiaoqiang came to the city last time, he heard people talk about the dance hall, and he roughly knew what was going on. Wang Xiaoxue was confused by this, she blinked her eyes and asked, "Uncle Zhou, what is the song and dance hall for?"

"It's a place to sing and dance, and you can drink and eat. ”

Wang Xiaoxue immediately became interested and urged: "Brother Niu, you hurry up and eat, let's go and see after eating." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang was not very happy to go, and always felt that it was not a place where children should go, so he was ready to refuse. Unexpectedly, Zhou Hongbao had already taken out the ticket and gave one to each of them. Niu Xiaoqiang saw that Zhou Hongbao was very interested, so he had to close his mouth.

After dinner, the three walked out of the guest house. Zhou Hongbao is an all-rounder, not only as a secretary for Zhang Guangmao, but also sometimes as a driver. He just came back with Zhang Guangmao's car, since Zhang Guangmao was not there, he naturally had no worries, and was ready to take advantage of the bus for private use.

This is an imported Nissan car, the car is in very good condition, Niu Xiaoqiang sat in the passenger cab, and couldn't help but ask after getting into the car: "Uncle Zhou, this car is quite expensive, right?"

Zhou Hongbao nodded: "This car is purchased by the ministry in a unified manner, a total of fifty cars were bought, our factory only got this one, I heard that the state gave a tax exemption policy when buying a car, even so, the unit price of this car is more than 150,000, and people who are not enough can not enjoy it." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang and Wang Xiaoxue were all dumbfounded, and they didn't dare to move after getting into the car, for fear of damaging someone's car.

In these days, there is no way for private individuals to own a car, unless the car is attached to the name of the unit, in order to get the index of buying a car, and to give the car a license plate.

The first officials in the country to own a car were officials. No matter when, this kind of high-grade thing came to China, and the first batch of users seemed to be servants of the people.

Zhou Hongbao saw that the two of them looked nervous, and couldn't help laughing: "You don't have to look like this, no matter how expensive the car is, it is for people to sit in, not for it." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang used to sit in the car of Sanyang Tractor Factory, which was an old Volga, and the car was in very poor condition, which could not be compared with this Nissan. He smiled unnaturally: "That's what I said, but I always feel unsteady, and I feel uncomfortable when I think of sitting on something worth more than 100,000 yuan." ”

Wang Xiaoxue nodded approvingly: "Me too, I always feel that I am not sitting in a car, but sitting on a pile of banknotes." ”

Zhou Hongbao smiled bitterly twice and stopped talking.

After a while, Niu Xiaoqiang couldn't help but ask, "Uncle Zhou, where did you learn your driving skills?"

"I used to be a car soldier in the army, and it was by virtue of my ability to drive that I was assigned to a good unit like Qingjiang Petrochemical Machinery, at the beginning I was a full-time driver for Director Zhang, and then Director Zhang thought I was a good person, so he promoted me to his secretary. ”

In this day and age, driving is a great skill, drivers are very sought-after, and the treatment is also very good, more popular than the average senior mechanic.

Niu Xiaoqiang sighed: "No wonder Uncle Zhou's driving skills are so good, and his feelings are from a car soldier." ”

As long as you have been a soldier, you like to talk about the past when you were in the army. Zhou Hongbao is no exception, he smiled and said how he used to be in the army, and soon entered the realm of selflessness.

Twenty minutes later, the car came to a small road in the center of the city. Zhou Hongbao's driving skills are very good, and he smoothly parked the car in an angle that was just enough to accommodate him. After getting out of the car, he led the two of them around a few corners and came to a somewhat dilapidated abandoned warehouse.

There were several young people standing at the door of the warehouse, and they were not good goods at first glance. There is a sign hanging on the wall behind them, on which neon signs are installed, and the words "Fat Cabaret" keep changing light and dark with the flashing of neon lights, which looks quite eye-catching.

This place is a bit hidden, and you won't find a cabaret here without going down the alley. Niu Xiaoqiang heard the rhythmic music coming from inside, and he was faintly looking forward to it.

Zhou Hongbao asked them to take out the tickets and handed them to the young man led by them. The other party glanced down, then put the ticket into his pocket, instructed the others to open the door, and told the three of them: "You remember, you will come out after you have had enough fun after entering, otherwise as long as you walk out of this door, the ticket you just now will be invalid and you need to buy it again." ”

Zhou Hongbao nodded and led the two of them inside.
