From factory girl to factory director, Chen Lanjun lived a very exciting life.
She only had two regrets: not going to university and not enjoying life.
Dying from overwork, she reopened...
Chapter 54
When my sister and others learned the news of receiving the admission letter, they were all very happy.
Chen Fengjun excitedly bought a pig's head and went to worship the gods.
Chen Lanjun didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but seeing her sister's happy expression, she didn't stop her. After all, it was good to have one more dish of fried pork head on the table later.
Zhao Hong has been collecting eggs from all over the country these days, and has also found some ways to get around. He specially bought a large bottle of homemade rice wine from farmers to congratulate Chen Lanjun on her success in the exam.
Ah Jing even pasted red paper in Wutong Restaurant. When a customer asked, she smiled and boasted: "Our young boss was admitted to university."
The guests were also happy and kept saying "Congratulations". They also asked, "Will the restaurant hold an event for such a happy event?"
A waiter also agreed: "Yes, such a good thing, why not hold a dance party! Just like the New Year's dance party at the Workers' Cultural Palace, it would be very lively."
Ajing thought this idea was very interesting, so she discussed it with Chen Fengjun and Zhao Hong, and they all agreed it was a good idea.
"My second sister is always busy, and she has to rush back to study. It's time to find a chance to have some fun." Chen Fengjun said, "Leave it to me."
All this was done in secret without Chen Lanjun's knowledge.
At dusk, when the lights were about to be turned on, as soon as Chen Lanjun walked into the Wutong Restaurant, the start button of the tape recorder was pressed and melodious dance music floated out.
"Warmly welcome our literary star, Miss Chen Lanjun!" Chen Fengjun held her daughter Xixi's hand, smiled and clapped her hands, and everyone cheered along.
Chen Lanjun was stunned to see that the restaurant had been renovated. The dining table and chairs were moved to the wall, and many strings of small light bulbs were hung on the wall. There were also colorful balloons that she didn't know where they came from, piled up on the ground.
"Thank you, this is..." She was a little confused.
Ah Jing smiled and said, "This is a dance held for you! Congratulations, Sister Lan!"
Xixi ran over and rubbed against Chen Lanjun. The little girl's eyes twinkled: "Auntie is so awesome!"
Chen Lanjun squatted down and pinched Xixi's face, and said with a smile: "Xixi is here too."
"Of course I have to come," Chen Fengjun said, "She said she wanted to teach my aunt how to dance. I found two good tapes, and it's so fun to dance to the accompaniment!"
She turned around, stopped the tape recorder on the table, replaced a tape, and said with a smile, "When the music starts, Sissi, you can dance with it."
"Ready—Go—"
As soon as the "play" button is pressed, there is a bang and the rhythmic beat instantly explodes in your ears.
It's an English disco music!
Xixi danced to the rhythm: "Auntie, this is disco, follow me!"
Infected by the extremely powerful disco rhythm, everyone couldn't help but twist their bodies, dancing and laughing.
Chen Lanjun held Xixi's hand and jumped up with a smile.
Zhao Hong is like a cow dancing, focusing on being casual and swinging his long hair wildly.
"What kind of disco is this? It's quite fun, but what are they singing? Something like 'Skipping Eight Pills'?"
Chen Lanjun was amused by him: "What's 'eight pills to skip class'? It's 'talk about it'."
This is a very famous disco song, "Funky Town". Throughout the 1980s, disco was the king.
Chen Lanjun seldom danced before, but this time she danced without any system with her family and friends, and she felt it was very enjoyable and she felt the wonderfulness of it.
Dancing disco can really make people feel very happy!
Such lively music attracted passers-by outside to look over here.
Then they were lured by the disco music and joined the team raising their hips and twisting their waists. Among them was a foreigner with a beard, who rushed over and started dancing as soon as he heard the music.
In the strong rhythm of the dance, Chen Lanjun was just like everyone else, immersed in the music. She danced so hard that her hair became disheveled, but she didn't care.
Dance, dance, I was dancing happily when I accidentally stepped on someone's leather shoes.
Chen Lanjun was startled, her dance moves became disordered and she almost fell down. Fortunately, the man gently supported her waist with his arm and she was able to stabilize her body.
"Sorry..." Chen Lanjun looked up to apologize, but saw her own small reflection in a pair of eyes as bright as stars in the dark night.
The person who was stepped on by her and caught her was Shao Qinghe.
He lowered his eyes and looked at her intently.
At such a close distance, Chen Lanjun could even see the shadows cast on his eyes by his thick eyelashes.
She immediately stood up and pushed away Shao Qinghe's hand: "You, why are you here?"
Chen Lanjun subconsciously looked in the direction of her sister. Fortunately, her sister was dancing happily and didn't notice.
She calmed herself down and said, "Are you just passing by?"
"No." Shao Qinghe put his hands in his pockets and said slowly, "I came here because I wanted to see you."
Chen Lanjun looked around, pursed her lips, and said, "It's too noisy. I can't hear what you are saying. Come with me."
She turned and walked out the door, and Shao Qinghe followed behind her.
When she opened the door, she saw the moon. There was a very beautiful moonlight tonight. She walked away from the music and the flute step by step, and stopped at the street corner where insects chirped clearly in late summer.
"Mr. Shao, did you understand what I said last time?"
Shao Qinghe nodded: "I understand."
"Then why did you come to see me?"
Shao Qinghe looked at Chen Lanjun under the moonlight and smiled: "Come and chase you."
Chen Lanjun was stunned and said in disbelief: "No, I said, I'm not thinking about love right now, I'm very busy!"
"Yeah," Shao Qinghe nodded, "I'm busy too, so I took time out of my busy schedule to chase you."
After the last breakup, Shao Qinghe went back very calmly.
He originally thought that this time would be just like the last time, and after a good night's sleep, he would forget about that strange girl.
But I can’t.
At three o'clock in the morning, Shao Qinghe lay on the king-size mattress, opened his eyes, and had a complicated expression.
Why did he always think of that person's appearance?
The resolute look on her face when she refused, the sunset glow that day, and the faint fragrance of ginger flowers lingered in his mind.
I have never seen such a special woman.
I've never been so curious about someone.
Shao Qinghe really wanted to know how she was doing. Thinking that he had a news agency under his name, he found an experienced reporter and asked him to keep an eye on Chen Lanjun's movements while interviewing in the mainland.
Some intermittent messages made Shao Qinghe realize that what Chen Lanjun said that day was definitely not an excuse.
When I got the photos, it was night time, in a villa halfway up the mountain in Hong Kong, with loud music and voices.
On the terrace facing the sea, Shao Qinghe placed the champagne on the white jade railing and opened the photos.
The girl in the photo is stunningly beautiful, and her smile carries a unique vitality.
Shao Qinghe understood his feelings at that moment.
He wants to see her.
So here he comes.
Now, looking at Chen Lanjun who is so close with frown on her face.
Shao Qinghe took a step closer to where Chen Lanjun was and smiled softly:
"Whether you consider love or not is your business. Whether you can consider love or not is my business."
