"Didn’t Zhang Junming just come back? He’s going out to sea again before the New Year? Let him know that it’s impossible to produce five Wheels in a short time. If he’s in a hurry, we can get one ready by tomorrow for him to use first!
Isn’t your shop opening soon? I’ll definitely go over then and bring the Wheel to your store! Afterward, he can come by to pick it up!
Shi Tian doesn’t have time to come to the shop today. Yun Wan'er is out shopping with Hu Shuyi and Old Lady Lu, and Shi Tian has to stay with Kang Ziyu at all times. Lu Ying Er is also helping Old Lady Lu carry her bags.
Zhang Junming is a major client; if he were just a small-time customer, we wouldn’t have even one Wheel ready before the New Year! I’ll talk to Zhang Junming about it!
Once the call ended, Sun Lang looked apologetic. "Zhang Junming, don’t blame Xiao Tian for this! Those two kids placed an order for over twenty Boat Rods with Shi Tian last night. I bet Xiao Tian is still dealing with that headache!
We can get one Wheel ready for you; Xiao Tian left it behind since it was ordered by a previous client and he didn’t dare bring it to the shop. Your Wheel is broken, so let someone take that one back for now! Later, they can come by my shop to pick up another.
Since your shop is opening, I’ll be there too. It’ll be convenient to grab it then. Here, let me pay for the Wheel and Rod first!
Last night, after returning from the shop, Air Force and Lu Ya originally planned to mention the Boat Rod situation to Shi Tian but didn’t dare bring it up in front of the old gentlemen.
They thought they would mention it this morning! However, before they could wake up, a call came from home—one from his mother complaining about a headache and another from his father feeling stressed, urging him to hurry back to Beijing as they had already booked tickets!
Why the rush? This is serious! Without hesitation, he rushed back! As soon as he got off the plane, he was caught; his passport and ID were taken away, and he was directly taken for a blind date without even half a minute's delay—straight from the airport to the hotel, a complete one-stop service.
One appointment in the morning, two in the afternoon, and an extra session at night—his schedule was packed!
"Mom! Aren't you supposed to have a headache?" Driving under pressure from his mother towards the hotel, Air Force felt utterly helpless. When did his mother learn how to lie?
"Yes! My son has grown up and spread his wings; he hardly stays home for two days all year round. Isn’t that enough of a headache?
Your dad is busy, and you’re never home! With such a big house, I’m all alone here! Hurry up and settle down; give me some grandchildren or something so at least I have someone around! Don’t worry; once you have grandchildren, you can do whatever you want; I won’t bother you anymore!"
Yesterday he received a call from his father that left both of them speechless after being scolded thoroughly.
What did Air Force do to provoke his father? Or did something happen to upset him? However, hearing that his father wanted them to arrange blind dates for Air Force made them think about whether this was reliable or not. They had to make sure to fulfill their father's task first!
They booked Air Force’s flight back to Beijing for six o’clock so that there would still be time for one appointment in the morning! As for potential candidates for the blind date, that was easy—there were plenty of people complaining daily about their daughters not getting married. Now was their chance!
They didn’t have time for thorough screening beforehand; the quality might be lacking a bit. But they could manage something temporarily and refine their choices later—the quality would definitely improve over time!
It’s year-end; isn’t your unit busy? Do you still have time for these matters? After some complaints, they realized it was too late to run away now; they had better deal with this first!
Can we not be busy? What can we do? If you had any ambition, I wouldn’t need to go through all this trouble! Let me tell you—don’t even think about running away; resolve this quickly! Otherwise, don’t even think about stepping out of Beijing!
Standing under the blazing sun in Sanya, Shi Tian looked up at the glaring sun and then at the long line ahead of him with a sense of despair. "What do you want to eat? I can cook it for you when we get home! Why do we have to suffer here?"
Taking the cold drink handed to him by Kang Ziyu, Shi Tianyi finished it in one gulp and said, "You wait here in line for a bit. I’ll go inside and take a look! If we keep standing here like this, it’ll probably be another half an hour before it’s our turn!"
Leaving the line, he walked toward the store along the queue of people when a righteous-looking man suddenly blocked his path with a wave of his hand.
"Hey there, young man! Everyone's waiting in line! You can't cut in!"
Looking up, Shi Tianyi was surprised to see a familiar face—Da Ye A! "What brings you here to queue up as well?"
"Old man! Did you catch any big fish after I left yesterday? I'm not cutting in line; I just have a friend inside. I’ll just say hi! You take your time waiting here!"
At the mention of big fish, the old man slapped his thigh. "Hmph! After you left, we went to that spot we fished at before you came. One cast and we hooked a fish! Before we could finish reeling it in, the rod snapped! That fish must weigh at least twenty pounds!"
The thought of losing that big fish kept the old man awake all night. They had originally planned to go buy a rod at the store, but he couldn't bear to leave that spot and fished until dark before finally heading back!
