Chapter 58: Ning's Hundredfold Reward

  Smoothly transferred the office building to Yang Hegong, Ning Qingmin calculated that, including the previous four rooms, he made a net profit of 800,000. Adding the 200,000 earned from the Saudi customer's 20,000 pieces of goods, it was exactly one million.

  One million! One million ah! Ning Qingmin only felt that his waist was straightened by a few points, and he couldn't help but change his name to Ning Baiwan. His eyes were filled with smiles, his walk was accompanied by the wind, and his head naturally lifted up, what a spirited appearance!

  They went to a restaurant and ordered a private room. Ning Qingming first ordered several bowls of bird's nest, then lobster, and then let Grandma Ning and Mama Ning order. Grandma Ning and Mama Ning said with concern: "Xiao Min, it's enough to eat some ordinary food, why did you order such expensive dishes?"

  "I knew you wouldn't be willing to spend more, so I ordered a few dishes first. Xiaoyu, Ruirui, take a look at the menu and order what you like, don't worry about spending money." Ning Qingmin smiled mischievously and ordered another dish of abalone soup. Turning her head, she saw Ning's grandmother and mother carefully looking at the prices on the menu, discussing and ordering a dish they both liked to eat, and whispering to each other: "At this price, if we bought the ingredients ourselves, we could make eight tables' worth." She couldn't help but feel both annoyed and amused.

  "Aunt, grandma, boss, today's delivery was a big success and we made a lot of money. You don't have to worry about the cost, just order what you like to eat, don't look at the prices." Zhang Yu leaned over, covering the prices on the menu with his hand, smiling and whispering: "Coming to such a high-end place, you're still only looking at the prices, be careful not to get laughed at by the waiters."

  "Cut, even if it's high-end, people should be able to eat clearly and not care about the price." Ning's mother pushed away Zhang Yu's hand and ordered another seasonal dish. Ning's grandmother patted her chest and said: "Wait until you've finished ordering, I'll help order a bowl of plain congee!"

  "Haha......", several people couldn't help but burst out laughing.

  Ning Qing smiled wryly, feeling a little heartache. Her grandmother and mother had been living in the countryside for years, never having anything good to eat. Now that they were here, they were still afraid of spending their own money, going out every day, determined to open a small restaurant to continue making money, not wanting to be a burden on others.

  "Grandma, Mom, why don't you each pick one dish you like?" Ning Qingmin smiled as she looked at the menu and helped them order another dish they liked, hurrying to get the waiter to take note.

  "Boss, can I order abalone?" Zhang Ruili flipped through the menu for half a day, blinking her eyes and saying: "I've always heard that rich people eat abalone, sea cucumber and shark fin every day. I've only seen abalone on TV and don't know what it looks like in real life!"

  "Hehe, small abalone, dried goods stores sell them for only a few dozen to over a hundred yuan each, not as expensive as you imagined. In coastal areas, there are now also cultivated abalone, and if sold individually, the price is even cheaper."

  In fact, after several years, with the increase in coastal abalone farmers, small abalone at dried goods stores sell for only ten yuan each, equivalent to the price of two Portuguese egg tarts from KFC. Ning Qingmin smiled as he looked at Zhang Ruili, "You order! It's just that this dish takes a long time to prepare, usually needs to be ordered in advance, and I'm afraid by the time we finish eating, it may not even be served yet."

  "Wow, thank you boss!" Zhang Ruili exclaimed, smiling and letting the waiter take note.

  "Wait a minute. Since we've already ordered, let's order five dishes." Ning Qingming looked at her grandmother and mother. "One dish per person!"

  "Never mind. I've had that before. Not interested. You guys eat it!" Ning's mom tried to stop Ning Qingming. Ning Qingming hastily leaned in and said: "Mom, today I made a profit of 200,000 yuan from selling land. Just relax and eat!"

  "So much?" Ning's mom exclaimed in surprise. Then she furrowed her brow and said, "Now that we have money, we should think about paying off the remaining mortgage on our new house. We can't just splurge recklessly."

  "Mom, I'm not that kind of person who doesn't know what's proper. Just enjoy your meal and don't worry so much." Ning Qing said with a smile: "After dinner, we still need to go buy clothes!"

  Ning's mother heard her say so and felt a bit more at ease. After finishing their meal, they took a bus to Beijing Road to buy clothes.

  "Boss, I'll go to the alley with Rui Li to dig around, and we'll meet up after shopping." Zhang Yu saw that Ning Qingming was going to take his aunt and mother to the department store to buy clothes, knowing that the clothes there were all branded goods, expensive, and more mature, not suitable for her and Zhang Rui Li, so she asked to split up.

  "Alright, you guys go ahead! Call me when you're done shopping." Ning Qing waved goodbye and led Grandma and Mom into the department store.

  No matter how old they are, women always love beauty. Ning's grandma and mom looked around everywhere, sighing and saying: "Nowadays, there are really many clothing styles."

  "Grandma, mom, if it fits, just try it on!" Ning Qing saw that they were only looking and didn't intend to try it on, so she got anxious. "I spent twenty years of your money, now you're spending a little of mine, how can you be so stingy?"

  "This isn't just looking!" Ning's mom smiled, walked around to the other side, picked up a silk red polka-dot shirt and held it against herself saying: "This one is on special, not bad. Do you think I'd be too young wearing this?"

  "No way!" Ning Qing and her grandma said in unison, laughing as they said: "Quickly go try it out and see!"

  "How's that?" Ning's mother came out of the dressing room, twisting and turning, a bit uncomfortable, fiddling with her collar, saying: "I still think I look a bit too young."

  "Mom, you're only 42 years old, why do you think you're old?! This dress is just right for someone of your age, I even think it's not young enough!" Ning Qingming smiled and admired her mom, "You look great after dressing up!"

  "It's fine, I'll take it!" Ning's grandma looked at Ning's mom with a smile, "It's been a long time since you've dressed up, it's refreshing to see!"

  "Hehe!" Ning Qingmin couldn't help but laugh and went over to hug Grandma Ning, saying: "Grandma, that one over there is pretty good, why don't you pick some too?"

  "Oh! Let me take a look!" Ning's grandmother smiled and walked over, picking up the clothes that Ning Qing said were not bad, looking left and right.

  "You think this one is more mature than the one I just tried on?" Ning's mother held up another outfit with a deeper color and asked Ning Qingming, Ning's grandmother.

  Ning's grandmother and Ning Qingmin hadn't responded yet, when a woman appeared from the other side, her eyes fixed on the clothes rack, also holding up the style that Ning's mother had been eyeing, comparing it to herself, and shouting towards the distance: "Come over and help me see if this one is okay?" As she spoke, she took the shirt and squeezed in front of the mirror, pushing Ning's mother aside a bit. Ning's mother looked up, slightly startled, her face changing color, her eyes turning cold, and without thinking, she slapped the shirt in her hand towards the woman's face, shouting loudly: "You damned vixen, how dare you push me?"

  "Wow, Huang Lian Po, it's you!" The other person stretched out their hand and directly took down the clothes hanger that had just been hung up, heavily hitting Ning's mother.
