C87 Bad for Good
He couldn't stay in the Lu County for long, and in the future, Kang Ying would have to deal with these suppliers from time to time. He could only set a "healthy relationship" like this, and only after he left would these people not dare to bully Kang Ying.
Furthermore, Shi Jiangyuan was also considering that if Cai Qiang's attitude was still the same, and he tried to take advantage of Kang Ying from time to time, then when he was about to leave the Lu County, he would at most find someone to take Cai Qiang, this manager, and change him to someone decent to be this manager.
The two of them chatted on the phone for a while more before Cai Qiang put down the phone in embarrassment, ending his awkward conversation with Shi Jiangyuan.
Shi Jiangyuan returned the extension to Kang Ying and praised, "The quality of this extension isn't bad. The sound is quite clear and there's no noise."
The phone was so expensive, Kang Ying thought. If there was any more noise, it wouldn't be worth it.
She smiled but didn't reply. Hades was easy to deal with, but a little rascal was hard to deal with. Shi Jiangyuan was able to find the bosses of the post office whom he had a good relationship with, so the staff didn't make things difficult for her.
The second day after the phone call, Kang Ying heard from Sister-in-law Zhang that all the employees of the Post and Telecommunications Bureau had to serve them with alcohol and cigarettes when they came to install the phone.
Because the phone was popular right now, the staff was always busy, so it didn't matter. They had to install a phone, from applying to replying, to officially installing it, it would take at least half a year.
Therefore, it was no wonder that these staff members were so proud of themselves!
And if they didn't, they would deliberately grind their way through dinner, eating their host's lunch or dinner before leaving.
When Kang Ying thought about how Shi Jiangyuan's instructions must have played a role because she didn't make any calls and the staff who put on the phones were all nimble. She thought that these staff members' service attitude was as good as that of the senior staff.
However, if she were to continue talking to Shi Jiangyuan about the expensive matter of the extension, it would seem like she was blaming Shi Jiangyuan for being incompetent. Naturally, Kang Ying had this kind of EQ.
She put the extension on the table, poured some tea for Shi Jiangyuan and said, "Thank you. If you didn't happen to be here, I would have called him back tomorrow morning."
"It's nothing. Be careful of Manager Cai." Shi Jiangyuan couldn't help but remind him.
Kang Ying could tell that this Manager Cai was still unrelenting in his evil intentions. He had called her at night just to hit on her. In the words of later generations, he wanted to hook up with her.
It was really a headache to meet such a supplier. He hoped that he wouldn't make things difficult for her in the future.
If Manager Cai pursued her honestly, she would admire him as a man.
But this way, Kang Ying wouldn't fall for his trap by sending an ambiguous message in the middle of the night.
She had seen many men like Manager Cai in her previous life.
There were some men who would look for a woman, choose their background, and choose their family. If they couldn't find a suitable one, they would look for a spare tire to leave behind in order to develop their relationship.
She wouldn't become someone's spare tire, an underground lover. Her life was the same as her previous life. She wanted to live a fair and honorable life.
If a man wanted to marry her, he had to do so in a fair and square manner. It wasn't necessarily luxurious, but it had to be done in the open and in the open.
Although Kang Ying had never been married in her previous life, she knew that the wedding ceremony was the best form of respect for a woman. It fully expressed a man's love for a woman.
The kind of marriage that refused to even offer betrothal gifts and haggled about a little bit of money. Even if the love at that time was very good, in the test of the marriage later on, there would still be no good results.
Kang Ying would work hard to improve herself and become a woman worthy of future pursuers. She hoped that they would respect her more because of this.
Shi Jiangyuan could tell that Kang Ying didn't have any intention of dating Manager Cai, so she was in a good mood. After drinking a cup of tea, she said to Kang Ying:
"Rest early, I'll be leaving first." You don't have to worry about the shopping mall. "
Kang Ying nodded. Seeing how confident Shi Jiangyuan was, her anxious mind also slowed down.
After sending Shi Jiangyuan out the door, Kang Ying saw him start the car and sped off. She closed the door and prepared to sleep.
Since Shi Jiangyuan told her not to worry about the mall, she knew that she shouldn't rush things.
As for the renovation of the shopping mall, she also began to prepare for contacting the staff, in case she would be caught off guard by then.
The next morning, after Kang Ying woke up to eat breakfast, she went to work in the vegetable patch.
Yesterday, the progress of her work had been much faster than she had expected. Today, she would be able to grow vegetables if she put in more effort to tidy up the remaining land.
Kang Ying became excited when she thought of the first time in her two lifetimes that she had eaten something she cooked personally.
Wearing her straw hat, hoeing and digging, Kang Ying walked home with her hoe after she saw that the sun had risen and that it would be easy for her to catch the heat.
At this moment, Sister-in-law Zhang, who was sitting next door, brought out a bucket of water to do farm work in the field. When she saw Kang Ying dressed like a labourer, she asked in surprise,
"Kang, you really went to grow vegetables?"
"Yeah, I dug up half of the land yesterday. I dug up some land this morning. I'll be done after a while tonight." Kang Ying said.
"No wonder I saw all the grass on that clearing yesterday. I didn't expect you to really grow vegetables." Sister-in-law Zhang laughed. "Aren't you afraid that your skin will be as dark as mine?"
In Sister-in-law Zhang's eyes, Kang Ying was a delicate and charming city girl. She had never thought that she would be able to work underground.
"No need to worry, I always choose the time when the sun is the least poisonous. Besides, it's also good to get some sweat when doing something."
Kang Ying spoke the truth. After sweating, her entire body was relaxed and comfortable. All the unpleasantness that had accumulated on her body had been washed away. She was like someone who was running, expelling all the poison from her body.
"Haha, that makes sense. You don't look like a farmer. " Sister-in-law Zhang laughed.
"Sister-in-law Zhang, you just got off the ground at this time?" Kang Ying felt a little strange as the sun was about to rise.
"Sigh, I'm different from you. We do this all day and all night. How can we choose an hour to do it?" Sister-in-law Zhang said.
At that moment, Kang Ying saw a man carrying a basket walking over from the other side of the road.
In the man's basket were a saw, a katana, and a knife. It was obvious that he was a carpenter and a furniture worker.
While she was thinking, Sister-in-law Zhang saw that she had been sizing up that man and said,
"That's the carpenter who came to work at my house. "Now that the two kids have grown up, it would be too crowded to sleep on one bed. My family has called a carpenter to make another bed."
Nowadays, in order to make furniture, many families would invite carpenters to come to their homes and work. In the city, there was already ready furniture for sale, but it was very expensive. Besides the marriage ceremony for fashionable youths, everyone was still accustomed to having carpenters come to their homes to do chores.
"Where did you hire this carpenter?" Kang Ying asked.
