According to reports, this story begins at an entirely unscientific moment: Zhou Ziye, a designer who rose from creating counterfeit mobile phones, suddenly time-traveled back to the year 1984.

Chapter 214 Unintentionally, Showing Off a Little

When Zou's father opened the door and saw Xing Baohua, his expression changed in many ways, showing both joy and sorrow.

Seeing that Xing Baohua was carrying a lot of things, he stopped shouting loudly: "You're here! Why did you bring so much? Come in and sit down."

He didn't take anything, but silently turned and went back into the house after opening the door.

Xing Baohua carried things in. He put the alcohol and cigarettes on the table.

"Uncle, Juanzi asked me to bring some things back for you from Hong Kong," Xing Baohua said, putting down the items.

Mr. Zou glanced at the things on the table and said to Xing Baohua, "Is she alright over there?"

"I'm doing well! I'll come back to visit you both when I'm less busy in a while," Xing Baohua said.

“There’s nothing going on at home, so there’s no need to come back and cause trouble. The travel expenses are also high. Let her keep some money for self-defense,” Mr. Zou said with a soft sigh.

"The plane ticket only costs a few dollars! She's making a lot of money now. I'll have someone install a phone for you later, so you can call each other and chat whenever you want," Xing Baohua said kindly.

"No need, it's nothing. Long-distance calls are so expensive! Let's save where we can! She's our only child. If you take good care of her while she's away, then my daughter is in your care."

Xing Baohua's words sounded normal at first, but what he said later sounded like his last words.

Actually, Mr. Zou didn't know what to say. His daughter had gone with someone else, but she didn't have any official status. Although she was a mistress outside, that kind of relationship wasn't allowed anymore.

They could only tell Xing Baohua tactfully that she should just take good care of their daughter.

The conversation seemed rather heavy that day, so Xing Baohua checked the time and took her leave. Continuing the conversation would only make things more awkward.

Taking advantage of the situation, Xing Baohua made an excuse that he was busy and left first. Before leaving, he left 10,000 yuan for the two elderly people, using Zou Wenjuan's name.

Only after Xing Baohua left did a slight smile appear on Zou's father's face. He looked at the imported liquor and cigarettes, but couldn't understand the English labels or identify the brands.

Both outfits were picked out by Zou Wenjuan in Hong Kong, as she roughly knew her parents' sizes.

Mr. Zou put on the suit and felt it looked great. Just by feeling the fabric, he knew the clothes were good quality.

Let Zou's mother try on her outfit too.

It took Xing Baohua and various expert teams about a week to finally understand the data they brought back.

You also need to understand all the functions and operations in the program and teach the operators how to use them!

We also need to write tutorials; mastering the basics is a difficult hurdle!

The day arrived for Su Ya to report to the capital. The machinery factory retained her position, and she continued to receive her salary as usual.

Factory Director Li even had a private talk with Su Ya, playing the family card, implying that Su Ya should study hard at school and return to the factory for a promotion after graduation.

Salary and benefits are negotiable.

When Su Ya returned after graduation, the factory's new residential area would be completed, and they promised to reserve an apartment for her.

These days, companies that value talent will offer high salaries.

Factory Director Li didn't care much about talent at first, believing that seniority was the most important thing. But when he saw Xing Baohua bring in nearly ten college graduates, he realized that it was also very important to bring in fresh blood if he wanted to develop well.

Su Ya's connections are what they are. With her education, she could have better options. Why would she choose a machinery factory?

The other meaning of keeping people here is also very clear.

Su Ya didn't express her opinion at the time, because Xing Baohua had previously told her to learn the skills so that the two of them could work together in the future.

Xing Baohua took dozens of cassette tapes from the factory, albums by various domestic and international stars. He packed them into two shoeboxes, and even included a special DM-X ultra-thin Walkman.

Why is it special? Because the outer shell is painted red.

They wanted to make it pink, but the factory's chief appearance designer couldn't mix the pink color that Xing Baohua envisioned, as the main raw materials were unavailable.

Finally, Xing Baohua suggested that Guo Kai try either maroon or bright red.

This guy even added a touch of romance, writing in artistic font: "Giving the best colors to the most beloved."

The artistic lettering is an abbreviation of Xing Baohua's name.

The craftsmanship of this machine exceeds its intrinsic value.

I prepared a pager and a cell phone for Suya, intending to get her a customized version. Unfortunately, aside from slightly altering the appearance, there was nothing else that could be changed.

The original two colors were already very nice, so Xing Baohua didn't make many changes.

Xing Baohua made arrangements in advance, having his secretary book four plane tickets. He also notified one of the "Eight Tigers" in the capital to arrange a car to pick him up.

The hotel also found a high-end one near Suya School.

Xing Baohua has made significant improvements in his living and dining arrangements. He may be low-key in public, but when it comes to his own enjoyment, he knows he should learn to enjoy life as well as he earns so much money.

When you get used to enjoying things, you naturally develop a certain air about you.

Su Ya's uncle, Geng Wenxin, thought he would be taking the train to the capital, but who knew that his future nephew-in-law would arrange for him to take a plane. It was the first time in his life he had ever been on one.

Seeing Xing Baohua asking the flight attendant for cigarettes and alcohol, he followed suit.

They discovered the liquor was actually small bottles of Moutai? He ended up drinking three bottles. The rule was one bottle per person. This guy even asked for Su Ya's and Xing Baohua's secretary's portions too.

I was still a little shaky when I got off the plane.

The group checked into a hotel first, and Xing Baohua would accompany Su Ya to register at the school the next day.

As for where her uncle went, Xing Baohua had no interest in caring.

Go do whatever you want.

Now that he was settled in the hotel, Xing Baohua saw that he still had some time, so he called an acquaintance at the post office to ask to copy two phone numbers.
