As Sha Zhu listened to Yan Fugui's words, he thought of that clean-cut girl. Hmm, it might really be nice to be with her.
"Wait a minute, Lao Yan, I was talking to you about Qin Jingru, why are you bringing Ran Qiuye into this? Your Yan family is afraid of that, but I, Sha Zhu, can handle it."
Sha Zhu was tempted by her beauty, but he was even more afraid of people coming to his house every day, so he decided to avoid trouble and let Ran Qiuye go.
Seeing that he couldn't fool Sha Zhu, Yan Fugui had no choice but to give up and go outside with Sha Zhu to find Yan Jiefang and Qin Jingru.
When Qin Jingru was seen again, the girl had changed into a completely new set of clothes.
"You...you went to do that kind of thing?" Sha Zhu asked in horror. They've even changed their clothes, what else could they have been up to?
"What's wrong?" Qin Jingru asked, puzzled.
"Hmph, you're such a shameless young lady. You came to my house for a blind date on your first visit and you're already out fooling around with other men. Go wherever you want to marry, just don't come to our compound."
"Yan Jiefang, I told your dad today that from today onwards, every time I see a happy occasion in your family, I will ruin it. From now on, we will be mortal enemies!" Sha Zhu said.
"I'm not stupid Zhu, this guy was brought back to you, and he's not missing a single piece of flesh. How can you talk like this?" Yan Fugui was really afraid that this guy would go crazy.
“You call this not a single piece of meat missing? Besides, even if the meat isn’t missing, your son has already tasted it. How could I dare to eat it again? I’d find it too cloying,” Sha Zhu said.
And so, Sha Zhu patted his behind and left. He really didn't get to eat any meat today, but he spent a lot of money.
"Jiefang, what am I going to do today?" Qin Jingru could only look to Yan Jiefang.
Yan Jiefang looked at his father. He really hadn't eaten any meat today; he'd just taken the little girl out for a walk, given her some good food, and bought her a new dress.
At the end of this year, without a letter of introduction, you can forget about staying in a hotel.
"Qin Jingru, right? You came here with Qin Huairu. Why don't you go visit your sister?"
Yan Jiefang, a young man, thinks that way about women, but he, Yan the Miser, doesn't. Rural girls don't have urban residency permits, so their children will also have rural residency permits, leading to the same difficulties the Jia family faced a few years ago.
He would rather his son marry a disabled woman from the city than a pretty girl from the countryside, otherwise he would be a burden on everyone for life.
Having no other choice, Qin Jingru went to Qin Huairu's house. Upon arriving at the Jia family home, another chaotic scene ensued.
Because of Qin Jingru's sudden betrayal, the Jia family's plan to acquire Sha Zhu's side room failed, and Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu continued to be entangled.
··········
In the courtyard house, time always seems to fly by; before we knew it, the ten years of great upheaval had passed.
During this time, the elderly in the courtyard grew old, and the children grew up.
In Xu Damao's family, the eldest son and daughter are already in college, while the younger son and daughter are in high school. Wang Minzhi, however, remains as beautiful as when Xu Damao first met her.
The three old men have all retired and now spend their time at home playing chess and fishing. The educated youth who were sent to the countryside have long since returned home. Those who returned early, like Liu Guangtian and Yan Jiekuang, were even given jobs by the government.
Those who arrived later, like the stick-shaped ornaments, continued to hang on the streets and were able to make a living on their own.
Sha Zhu is still single, but he and Qin Huairu are still entangled, though they haven't gotten married.
In the front yard, Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li had already resigned from the auto repair shop. When they first resigned, the two of them were quite the first in the courtyard house to do so, and many people didn't understand. Old Yan even threatened to kill himself.
Over the years, the two have long since become middle-level managers. Many people struggle to find a stable job, but these two have thrown away their secure livelihoods.
The two of them opened a small restaurant. Business was bad at first, but it gradually improved. Later, they even poached the chef, Sha Zhu, and their business clearly surpassed that of the surrounding restaurants.
But Sha Zhu's hand and foot problems became apparent. He often cooked for himself and brought the food home, and sometimes he was late. The conflict gradually became apparent.
"Da Mao, are you sure you want to resign?" In the department, the senior leader was puzzled as he watched the young steel mill leader come to resign.
Logically, the turbulent era has passed, and it's time for everyone to show their skills, but this guy chose to leave during the best of times.
“Boss, I’m not from a professional background, and I’ve wasted many years of my time in this position at the factory. I’m really sorry. Over the years, I’ve thought a lot about this, and now that the country is encouraging self-employment, I’m going to decide to go into that field,” Xu Damao said.
Finally, the leader accepted the report, explaining that Xu Damao would only be released after discussion at a meeting.
Resigning from his factory job was something Xu Damao had been considering for a long time. To be honest, Xu Damao wasn't short of money; the antiques and artifacts he possessed could provide a comfortable life for his descendants.
However, a great era was about to begin, and at only 40 years old, he naturally wanted to dance along with the times.
He had already come up with a preliminary plan: to start with import and export trade, and once he had accumulated enough capital and the policy conditions were right, he planned to enter the automobile market.
Regarding import and export, Lou Hongsheng in Hong Kong Island has already contacted him. Lou intends to return to the mainland and has found Xu Damao; the two are preparing to partner up. In those days, various industrial materials were in short supply, so as long as there were good channels, making money was not a problem.
Regarding automobiles, Xu Damao had been thinking and planning since he started his auto repair shop, accumulating technical expertise and connections. Now, people like Huang Shu are pillars of his factory, and with just a call from Xu Damao, readily available technical personnel are available.
People who are not short of money want to turn their past dreams into reality. Moreover, in China, the automotive industry is an emerging industry with a huge market expected to continue for decades to come.
Unlike Yan Jiecheng's departure, which caused a stir in the courtyard, Xu Damao's departure had an impact throughout the entire Beijing circle, and even the main leaders issued instructions.
Many people don't think highly of Xu Damao, believing that he has only climbed to a high position by flattering others and that he would definitely lose a lot of money if he really went out into the world.
However, as the goods that Xu Damao and Lou Hongsheng imported from outside became bestsellers in Beijing, such voices gradually disappeared, and instead people envied Xu Damao's daily fortune.
When Xu Damao was preparing to establish his own car factory, there was another wave of misunderstanding and lack of support. But as the first car rolled off the production line, it attracted national media attention, and everyone looked on with envy.
As the first privately-owned car brand in China, Xu Damao's automotive business, though fraught with difficulties, had become a global bestseller by the new century. At this time, Xu Damao passed the baton to his children and began traveling around the world with Wang Minzhi.
