Hugging Mu Jingran, Sun Yuqi smiled and said, "Okay, we are an old couple, why are you still acting like a young man? Okay, the children will be down soon, let me go quickly, and it's too hot."
Mu Jingran was in a state of confusion, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. He finally got to be sentimental for once! He was also met with his wife's lack of understanding of romance. However, his wife was right. The weather was too hot and it was indeed a bit uncomfortable. He immediately let go of Sun Yuqi.
The next morning, Mu Jingran went to work. Sun Yuqi told the two children to do their homework at home, but she rode her bicycle to the private restaurant. As soon as she arrived at the restaurant, she saw two figures wandering outside the restaurant. Sun Yuqi was a little surprised. Someone came to eat so early? She got off the bicycle and pushed it over.
"Who are you looking for?"
The two brothers Zhang Jianlin were wondering if they had come to the wrong place. Suddenly they heard voices and turned around to see Sun Yuqi standing behind them. The two brothers immediately laughed.
"Sun Yuqi, how did your family change? You used to run a restaurant, but don't you live here anymore?"
Sun Yuqi then saw clearly that the people who came were the brothers Zhang Jianlin and Zhang Jiansong. She was also surprised. You know, the two brothers were admitted to Peking University in the summer of 1977 and 1978. After graduation, the two brothers were assigned jobs in the south, so Sun Yuqi had basically not seen them for all these years. She didn't expect that the two brothers would come to Beijing now.
"It's you two brothers, come on, go in first!"
Sun Yuqi brought the two brothers Zhang Jianlin into the yard. Zhao Huaijin happened to hear the sound and came out. Seeing the two people who followed Sun Yuqi in, he was curious.
"Yuqi, is this your colleague?"
Sun Yuqi waved her hand and smiled, "Uncle Zhao, these two brothers are surnamed Zhang. They were my good friends when I was working in the Northeast as an educated youth. They also got admitted to Peking University a few years ago. It's been more than ten years in the blink of an eye."
When Zhao Huaijin heard that it was Sun Yuqi's old educated youth friend, he smiled and said, "Since it's a reunion of good friends, and I happen to have prepared enough ingredients today, let's eat here at noon! I'll go prepare it later."
Sun Yuqi didn't bother Zhao Huaijin. "Then I'll trouble you, Uncle Zhao."
After inviting the two brothers to sit down, Sun Yuqi asked, "It's been seven or eight years since you graduated and were assigned to the south. Hasn't it?"
"Yes, it's been so many years. Now when I think back to my time in Northeast China, it feels like it's right in front of me. But when I think about it, it's been more than ten years since then."
They chatted casually about their experiences over the years. It turned out that after graduating from university, Zhang Jianlin was assigned to a city in Guangdong Province as the mayor's secretary, and Zhang Jiansong joined a certain unit. The two brothers have been working hard in the south for many years. Some time ago, Zhang Jianlin was transferred to work in a bureau in Beijing, but Zhang Jiansong stayed in the south. Later, thinking that his elder brother had come to Beijing, he wanted to come and see these old friends together.
Sun Yuqi understood their purpose and said, "You should all know that Chen Hao and Muran are doing business in Shenzhen, and they're doing quite a big business. Lu Yao is also working in Shenzhen, and her husband is also doing business with Chen Hao and the others. Right now, only Liu Jingjing, Qi Aiguo, and I are working in Beijing."
Zhang Jianlin and Zhang Jiansong had never imagined that the educated youth who had lived in the same educated youth compound back then were now so scattered across the country. It was really difficult for them to get together! But thinking of Qi Aiguo, Zhang Jianlin said.
"How about this, I've been transferred to Beijing for work now. How about I treat you and Qi Aiguo and his wife to a meal together someday? It can be considered a small gathering!"
Sun Yuqi had no objection. The matter was settled. After having lunch at Zhao Huaijin's place and seeing the two brothers off, Sun Yuqi began to think about the real purpose of Zhang Jianlin's visit. You know, since the two brothers graduated from university and were assigned jobs, they have basically had no contact. It's not that Sun Yuqi is petty. After all, such matters are related to the nature of her husband's work. Sun Yuqi always feels that it's not wrong to be cautious.
When Mu Jingran came back in the evening and heard Sun Yuqi's speculation, he was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
"Wife, you're overthinking it. I know Zhang Jianlin. His transfer to Beijing was a decision made by us secretaries and deputy secretaries after a show of hands."
Sun Yuqi only then realized that her husband was already the deputy secretary of Beijing City in charge of politics and law. So it made sense that the Zhang Jianlin brothers came to see her, and she immediately smiled bitterly.
"Oh, this guy, really, I'm not in this circle anymore, I forgot my man is so powerful! Even my old educated youth friends came to visit."
Mu Jingran knew Sun Yuqi was joking. "Of course, we can't rule out the possibility that they already know I'm the deputy secretary in charge of politics and law. But let's talk about our relationship. We in Beijing do need someone like Zhang Jianlin in terms of politics and law. He's been serving as the Public Security Bureau Director in a southern city for many years and has done quite well. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been transferred to Beijing."
The next day, Zhang Jianlin hosted a banquet for Sun Yuqi and Liu Jingjing at Zhao Huaijin's place. Mu Jingran did not go this time to avoid suspicion. However, Zhang Jiansong was not there. It was said that he had returned to the south. However, Zhang Jianlin's lover came with them.
Zhang Jianlin's lover, Song Xiaoran, is from the south. She is the wife Zhang Jianlin married after he went to the south. She looks younger than Sun Yuqi and others. She looks to be about 26 or 27 years old now.
Around five o'clock in the afternoon, Sun Yuqi and Liu Jingjing finally saw Zhang Jianlin and his wife off from the private restaurant and sat in the yard to talk.
"Oh, I never thought that Zhang Jianlin, who was so quiet back then, would actually make it this far. It's really impressive!"
Upon hearing this, Qi Aiguo frowned and glanced at Liu Jingjing.
"Why do you regret following me?"
Liu Jingjing glanced at Qi Aiguo and said, "What are you thinking about? It's just a sigh of emotion!"
Sun Yuqi smiled and said, "What's the matter? Qi Aiguo, are you jealous?"
Liu Jingjing patted Sun Yuqi and said angrily, "Nonsense, you're already a mother, and you're still talking about jealousy?"
The three of them were sitting and chatting when they heard voices coming from outside the door. Sun Yuqi said, "Let's go back too! I guess the guests are coming tonight, so it's a bit inconvenient for us to stay here."
Liu Jingjing and Qi Aiguo also knew about it, and they stood up and pushed their bicycles to go out, but they saw Zhao Huaijin walking in with a young man. Sun Yuqi took a look and didn't think much about it, then heard Zhao Huaijin say.
"Yuqi, this is the young man named Zhong. He said he wants to see you."
