Super first-tier cities: Starting from village committee secretary

"Oh."

"There's no need to meet for such a small matter. You could have just had Yuan Qing tell me over the phone."

In Zhou Jiaomin's eyes, this was a trivial matter, easily resolved with a word. After all, it didn't violate any principles, and it was a good deed, helping underprivileged college students return to campus.

"Uncle, it's not just about that. Xiong Xu wanted to meet you, and I also wanted to see you. The main reason for contacting you this time was to have an excuse to see you. I miss you."

Lin Yuanqing said in a delicate, coquettish voice.

"Yes, yes, yes."

Xiong Xu nodded repeatedly, silently giving Lin Yuanqing a thumbs up in his heart.

"Haha."

Zhou Jiaomin was overjoyed to hear Lin Yuanqing's words and immediately said to Xiong Xu, "Let the prospective college students from your village report to the school tomorrow. I'll take care of things at the school; there won't be any problems."

"Also, give me a list, including the school names, or I won't know who to contact."

"Thank you, Uncle Zhou."

Xiong Xu thanked him happily.

This matter was proceeding so smoothly.

Having connections is truly wonderful.

"We're all family, no need to thank me."

"But if you really want to thank me, bring me a few mountain bear bullfrogs later. Your aunt especially loves to eat them."

Zhou Jiaomin said with a smile.

"No problem, mountain bear bullfrogs are guaranteed, haha."

Xiong Xu said with a smile.

"The dishes are here."

At this moment, six servers entered the private room in a line, bringing the six dishes that Lin Yuanqing had ordered, all of which were Zhou Jiaomin's favorites.

Next, Xiong Xu and Zhou Jiaomin, the two men, began to drink. They drank for more than an hour, until Zhou Jiaomin was drunk and went home.

After sending Zhou Jiaomin home, Xiong Xu and Lin Yuanqing also returned to the apartment.

.....

"Zhou Shu said, 'If you really want to thank me, bring me a few mountain bear bullfrogs later. Your aunt especially loves to eat them.' Is there any other meaning in these words, like asking me to send some money?"

Back in the apartment suite, Xiong Xu voiced his suspicions.

Previously, when seeking help from Li Chunhua, Li Chunhua had also used a similar tone to solicit bribes, so Xiong Xu couldn't tell whether Zhou Jiaomin's words were literal or had a hidden meaning.

"Don't overthink it. Zhou Shu's family isn't short of money. His grandfather was a famous patriotic tycoon in Jiangnan Province during the Republic of China era, a third-generation rich official."

Lin Yuanqing said.

"Is that so?"

Xiong Xu was relieved. Then, he took out his phone and called Xiong Qing.

"Hello, Brother Xu?"

The call connected quickly.

"The matter is settled. You go to the school to register tomorrow, and also inform the other prospective college students in the village to register."

Xiong Xu said into the phone.

"Really!"

"Thank you, Brother Xu!"

Hearing that he could go to school to register, Xiong Qing was very excited. Xiong Xu could hear Xiong Qing's trembling voice over the phone.

"No need to thank me. If you really want to thank me, study hard and repay society in the future."

Xiong Xu said in a calm tone.

"Okay, I understand!"

Xiong Qing replied powerfully.

"Okay, that's it."

Xiong Xu hung up the phone. At this time, Lin Yuanqing also sent the list that Xiong Xu had sent her last time to Zhou Jiaomin.

This matter was considered settled.

"Open your mouth."

"Huh?"

Without much talk, Xiong Xu, who had been enduring for a long time, began 'domestic violence'.

Although her period had come, there was more than one entrance.

Half an hour later, the 'domestic violence' ended. Since it was still early, only nine o'clock, Xiong Xu hadn't been to the Hongchang city center night market for a long time, so he went to the night market with Lin Yuanqing.

During the process, Xiong Xu also saw many restaurants posting eye-catching signs such as [New Product: Mountain Bear Bullfrog] [This store has Mountain Bear Bullfrog].

Mountain Bear Bullfrogs were extremely popular in Hongchang City.

More popular than crayfish in the summer.

More expensive than crayfish. Entering any restaurant, a portion of Mountain Bear Bullfrog cost no less than 168 yuan, and a portion only contained about 1 jin of bullfrog meat.

Mountain Bear Bullfrog in hot pot restaurants was sold by the jin of pure meat, also selling for 70 yuan per jin.

Xiong Xu couldn't help but sigh, even his factory didn't earn as much as the suppliers. Although he sold live frogs, the internal organs of Mountain Bear Bullfrogs only accounted for 20% of the weight, half that of ordinary bullfrogs.

That is to say, 1 jin of Mountain Bear Bullfrog, after removing the internal organs, the pure meat accounted for 400 grams, and the price was 14.5 yuan, while the restaurant's 500 grams of pure meat was worth more than 70 yuan.

According to the normal profit margin of restaurants, the purchase price of Mountain Bear Bullfrog in restaurants was at least 30 yuan/jin!

[This store currently has no Mountain Bear Bullfrog. Mountain Bear Bullfrog is being restocked ~]

Unconsciously, Xiong Xu and Lin Yuanqing walked to the entrance of a hot pot restaurant, where a loudspeaker was playing in a loop.

"This one is out too."

"Speechless, are so many people eating it!"

"What's so good about it? Eating it every day for the past few days doesn't seem to be addictive. Truly speechless."

"It's so expensive, and so many people are still eating it!"

Several young men and women next to Xiong Xu heard the hot pot restaurant's loudspeaker broadcast and left complaining, looking for the next store with Mountain Bear Bullfrog.

Seeing this situation, and recalling what these young people said, Xiong Xu roughly knew what situation Mountain Bear Bullfrog was in on the market now.

Supply couldn't meet demand!

"Did you hear that? Some people are complaining that Mountain Bear Bullfrog is expensive."

Lin Yuanqing also heard what the young people said and teased with a smile, holding Xiong Xu's arm.

"I'm wronged, my wholesale price is only 14 yuan 5 mao per jin."

"But I really have to raise the price."

Xiong Xu made up his mind to announce a price increase for Mountain Bear Bullfrog after the agency auction ended.

"Okay, I'm going to be harvested again."

Lin Yuanqing said speechlessly.

"Haha."

Xiong Xu smiled.

"I want to eat grilled squid!"

Lin Yuanqing saw a teppanyaki squid at a roadside stall and immediately pulled Xiong Xu over.

Next was the happy foodie segment. Lin Yuanqing bought, bought, bought, and ate, ate, ate, and Xiong Xu paid, paid, paid, and paid, paid, paid.

She ate a little.

But she only ate what Comrade Lin Yuanqing thought wasn't delicious.

The two played until eleven o'clock at night. After returning to the apartment, Xiong Xu let Lin Yuanqing serve again....

The next morning, Lin Yuanqing felt her arms were sore from brushing her teeth and couldn't lift them. When she went downstairs for breakfast, she also felt her cheeks were a little numb.

"Let this idiot leave quickly."

"It's too much suffering!"

.....

Xiong Xu slept until ten thirty in the morning. After waking up, he stretched comfortably, recalling last night, then happily went to brush his teeth, then left the key on the table and went downstairs to the graphic shop to print a labor contract.

After printing the contract, it was already eleven thirty. Xiong Xu drove to the coffee shop at the entrance of the Education Bureau, waiting for Sun Zecheng.

When he arrived at the coffee shop, Xiong Xu found that Sun Zecheng was already waiting in the store.

Xiong Xu asked the waiter for a pen, then walked to the seat opposite Sun Zecheng and handed the pen and contract to Sun Zecheng's desk.
