Around 7 p.m., as the train slowly pulled away from the platform, Li Chu tugged at Ding Qiunan's arm, signaling that it was time for her to leave the station.
"Li Chu, do you think it'll be okay for the two kids to run so far away?"
"Don't worry, nothing will happen." Li Chu glanced around, then leaned close to her ear and whispered, "I had Wenxuan bring the gun."
"Ah!" Ding Qiunan turned her head to look at her husband in shock: "How could you be so bold? Wenxuan doesn't have a license."
“It’s alright. I gave him the smaller one, which is less likely to be noticed. I also gave him two letters of introduction, one of which clearly stated that he was carrying a firearm.”
"Oh, that's alright." Hearing this, Ding Qiunan finally felt relieved.
After getting off at the station and onto the train, Li Chu thought for a moment and said, "It's just the two of us now, how about we go see a movie?"
"Great!" Ding Qiunan clapped her hands happily like a child. The last time she watched a movie was two years ago, when she watched Shaolin Temple.
Goodness, this movie caused a sensation across the country back then.
With a ticket price of one cent, it's said that the national box office reached 160 million yuan, though of course, we don't know if that's true or not.
But it makes sense, anyway, her three kids have watched it at least five times.
What movies are showing today?
"I just glanced at it, it looks like Thunderstorm. Who cares what kind of movie it is, I'll just watch it."
With that, Li Chu started the car and drove home.
"Thunderstorm?" Ding Qiunan was still pondering: "Are you talking about that play, Thunderstorm?"
"Ah, yes, this movie seems to be adapted from that stage play," Li Chu nodded in agreement.
"That should be pretty good! I haven't seen the play, but I've read the published articles..."
...
On Monday morning, after taking Ding Qiunan to the hospital, Li Chu asked Tian Jun to drive him to headquarters to inquire about the land.
After communicating with Lao Duan from the General Office, he finally understood that it wasn't an empty plot of land, but a vacant warehouse area. The headquarters did have the idea of renting it out, but it was impossible to contract it out to a private individual.
And most importantly, even if it could be contracted to a private individual, Li Chu wouldn't want it now, because the buildings inside cannot be altered without permission; otherwise, what would he need that thing for?
Just as I came out of Lao Duan's office, I ran into Li Yunli and Zhao Zhijun, who were back to hand over their work.
Dean Li
Upon seeing Li Chu, the two immediately stood at attention and saluted.
"You two have finished your work and are coming back to complete the handover?"
"Yes, Dean Li, the remaining work at the base is the handover of the equipment. There's nothing for us to do there, so we're coming back to submit our performance reports."
Seeing that Li Yunli didn't intend to speak, Zhao Zhijun knew she was creating an opportunity for him, and replied.
"Okay, then you guys go ahead and get busy. If you need any help, just let me know."
After taking only two steps apart, Li Chu stopped again, turned around, and called out to Zhao Zhijun.
"Boss, is there something you need?" Zhao Zhijun, who had been called over, hurried over, while Li Yunli stood a little further away waiting.
bidige.
"Zhijun, do you want to stay by my side?"
Upon hearing his superior's question, Zhao Zhijun's heart began to pound uncontrollably.
Of course he wanted to; he had been thinking about how to bring this up.
Following a leader with a promising future is much better than staying at headquarters doing nothing.
After all, there are too many junior staff members like him at headquarters, and it's really not easy to make it to the top.
Before he temporarily became Li Chu's assistant, he even considered changing careers.
"Of course I'd like to, sir," Zhao Zhijun replied hastily.
"Okay," Li Chu nodded with a smile. "Go report for duty first, and then wait for the transfer order."
After saying that, he walked straight away.
For Li Chu, transferring Zhao Zhijun to be his assistant was no big deal; all he had to do was submit an application.
Given his rank, he should have had an assistant long ago; his superiors have mentioned it several times.
He just thought it was too much trouble, so he hadn't wanted it before.
Zhao Zhijun served as his temporary assistant for the past two years, which he found quite satisfactory, hence the question.
This is because he's used to it, but if a stranger came, he would definitely still refuse.
Watching Li Chu walk away down the corridor, Zhao Zhijun could no longer contain his excitement. He clenched his fist and punched the air, his smile growing wider.
The staff who passed by looked at him with strange eyes, wondering what was wrong with this guy standing there and acting crazy.
"Zhijun, it's done?"
Li Yunli's voice finally calmed Zhao Zhijun's excited mood a little.
"It's done. The leader told me to wait for the transfer order."
Fortunately, he wasn't too out of his mind and knew to lower his voice.
"Congratulations! Your wish has finally come true."
"Hehe, I'll treat you to dinner when the transfer order comes."
"It's a promise, Zhijun, I've got it."
"Absolutely. I'll invite your Xiaogang along too, and I'll bring my wife as well."
"Let's go, stop being so happy, let's go report for duty first." Li Yunli waved the things she was holding.
"Right, right, we can't neglect important matters." Zhao Zhijun patted his forehead.
After leaving the headquarters office building, Li Chu sat in the back seat of the car and began to think about contracting a piece of land.
We'll have to ask Xu Damao for help again. He used to go to the countryside often, so he'll definitely know where there are suitable places.
Most importantly, he was familiar with the people in the rural areas surrounding Beijing.
With that thought, Li Chu put the matter out of his mind and decided to deal with it later when he had more time.
As the car drove along the street, he looked out the window. The pace of urban construction in Beijing had been accelerating in the past two years, with the city proper more than doubling in size.
Many factories that were originally located in the suburbs have been forced to relocate due to the expansion of the city.
I heard that even steel mills are among those that need to be relocated.
The city's construction will accelerate, and once the 1990s arrive, it will unleash its full potential, like a tightly wound spring.
As Li Chu was silently reflecting on his feelings, his attention was drawn to a familiar figure.
"Tian Jun, slow down."
As the car slowed down, he finally realized that he hadn't mistaken the person for someone else.
On the roadside, Ran Qiuye was carefully wiping the sweat from the forehead of a man who looked to be about her age with a handkerchief in her hand.
There was a large cardboard box under their feet, which looked like a television set.
And that man, if he wasn't mistaken, should also be a teacher at their school, I think he was a physical education teacher, and he had taught Wenhui and Wenxuan.
Judging from their intimate behavior, their relationship is definitely not ordinary.
However, as far as I remember, this teacher seems to have been married.
Li Chu had some doubts.
