Chapter 221: Golden Gradient, a Relative from Northeast China
At noon, in the cafeteria of Peking University.
Wen Leyu ate his spicy fried potato sticks like a kitten. Occasionally, when he saw some of his favorite dishes on Li Ye's plate opposite him, he would poke the air twice with his chopsticks, and then he would get what he wanted.
Wen Leyu is not a picky eater and she absolutely follows the virtue of "not wasting a grain of food". She will not dislike the food that tastes average.
But if you ask her to eat whatever she sees like Xiaozhu, it would be too difficult for her, especially after she has tasted Li Ye's cooking skills.
When he was at the Erliangdian, Li Ye was always the one reading the recipe with his hands behind his back, while Jiang Xiaoyan was the one cutting vegetables and cooking. Wen Leyu thought that Li Ye was just like his father, a real man with a picky mouth and lazy hands.
It was not until that time at Wen Leyu's home that Wen Leyu knew that Li Ye could cook and that his cooking was delicious.
Then, Wen Leyu started making smoke come out of the kitchen of Zaojun Temple in the name of "learning to cook".
It’s not possible on Tuesdays and Thursdays, as both of us have full classes that day. However, we have enough time to cook on Monday, Wednesday and Friday afternoons.
Now Wen Leyu is no longer the shy girl last summer. Since she is so familiar with Li Ye, you cook first and I'll go take a shower!
Wait for her to come out of the shower, and she will prepare the meal with just a little help. It will be comfortable and delicious while you eat it. Isn't it wonderful?
So in the school cafeteria, Wen Leyu ate a little less and pushed all the leftovers to Li Ye.
"Xiao Yu, I can't cook for you this afternoon. I have to pick up a friend at the train station."
"Ah? Is there someone coming from Dongshan?"
"no."
"Oh well!"
Li Ye looked up and saw that Wen Leyu's big eyes were full of resentment, like a big cat that was waiting for fish but got a handful of cheap cat food instead.
Li Ye explained: "He is a friend who came from Yangcheng. It would be bad if I didn't go to pick him up at the station."
"From Yangcheng?"
Wen Leyu blinked, her long eyelashes trembled twice, and she leaned down to ask softly, "What kind of friend is it?"
"We can be considered business friends! When Hao Jian and Brother Peng went to Yangcheng, they had no roots and no foundation and couldn't make any progress."
Li Ye told the story of Guo Donglun without hesitation. Wen Leyu had never asked about the situation in Yangcheng before, but since he asked, there was no need to hide it.
Pengcheng Seventh Factory developed too fast, and no one thought that this was the result of Li Ye's planning. The reason why Guo Donglun thought he was being used was that he felt that "there must be something wrong when things are abnormal."
But Wen Leyu is not a stupid girl. Will she guess that there is something fishy in Yangcheng?
But to be honest, the reason why Li Ye can move so fast is indeed inseparable from Guo Donglun.
In 1982, all means of production were not "for sale" on the shelf, but planned products.
It was not until the dual-track market price system was implemented in 1984 that people were able to spend money to buy various production raw materials from the market.
When Jin Peng and others went to Yangcheng, ordinary people needed cloth coupons to buy a few feet of cloth, let alone the huge amount of cloth that Pengcheng Factory No. 7 needed every day?
It is impossible for individuals or private individuals to buy cloth, machines, even buttons and needles and thread in large quantities, and planning is required.
Now Hao Jian has dozens of stable clothing factories and can barely get a certain amount of fabrics and supplies. But when he first started two years ago, he had no way to do it.
If you wanted to deviate from the plan and make money by reselling on a large scale at that time, you would most likely end up selling parallel imports.
Li Ye would not take that road.
There is reincarnation in the world and no one can escape it. God gave you the chance to be reborn, not to make you a smuggler.
At the beginning, Li Ye asked Hao Jian to find a small temple to burn incense and arrange the transportation. Who knew that he met a real god who could even handle the registration procedures. Now he is ready to fly solo at any time. No wonder Guo Donglun feels that he is "being used".
And he took advantage of it! He was also ready to backhand him at any time.
Pengcheng Factory No. 7 is abnormally law-abiding, but his behavior is not acceptable. Will it appear that you are trying to draw a clear line between yourselves and others?
Li Ye spoke very clearly and Wen Leyu listened carefully. The way the two of them put their heads close together and whispered to each other made some of the students who were eating around them laugh.
The news that the handsome guy from the Economics Department who appeared on TV was successfully won over by the girl from the English Department and kept her on her waist all day long was widely circulated in Kyoto University for a few days, which in turn made the reserve between the two of them fade a little.
As long as those wearing red armbands don't come over to tidy up the atmosphere, Wen Leyu doesn't care!
After listening to Li Ye's narration, Wen Leyu said, "In other words, you two have never met before, and he came here just to get to know you?"
Li Ye smiled and said, "That's what he said, but I think he seems to be looking for revenge."
"Why?" Wen Leyu raised his eyebrows and said coldly, "Is it because you have grown wings? Did you sell yourself to him? See what he is capable of. I will go with you later."
"What are you going to do?"
Li Ye looked at Wen Leyu with amusement, and after seeing that she was serious, he said, "Okay, okay, if there is a real need, I will call my big brother to calm the situation, and I promise that I won't suffer any loss, okay?"
"Why are you calling me brother?"
Wen Leyu opened her mouth, looked at Li Ye in surprise and displeasure, and said, "I can just keep the peace!"
Li Ye: “.”
It was sloppy. Really sloppy.
Ever since the second grain store, Wen Leyu had developed a subtle sense of dependence on Li Ye. As the two fell in love, Wen Leyu clung to Li Ye like a kitten, playing with wool, yawning, and snuggling up to him to sleep late.
There is a kind of cat called "Golden Shaded Cat". Many unscrupulous pet dealers often "mistakenly" give the big orange cat to buyers, unintentionally confusing the two.
Li Ye's confusion is a little bit more serious. The golden tabby kitten has a relative in the Northeast. It was very fun when it was young.
But beneath her soft flesh pads, she hides sharp claws, and above her head, she will have a big "king" when she grows up.
"I just want to go over and take a look." Seeing Li Ye in a daze, the unhappy Wen Leyu immediately smiled and said, "What if he is a good person? I won't say a word."
It is harmless to humans and animals, absolutely harmless to humans and animals, and everyone who sees it will love it.
Alas, how could I, Li Ye, be so fortunate as to meet such a special and considerate girl?
. . . . . .
In 1983, long-distance trains were usually delayed.
When the people waiting on the platform were becoming increasingly impatient, the train from the southwest to Beijing slowly pulled into the Beijing Station.
After leaving Guangzhou, Guo Donglun did not go to Beijing immediately, but went to the southwest.
Although he criticized Hao Jian, he said that he had been to the southwest and knew the situation there very well.
But he went to the southwest to hunt monkeys. He was usually on the battlefield and in the army. He only had some understanding of the civilians around him and had never had any in-depth dealings with them.
Now that we have left Guangzhou, let's go to Malipo to see those young comrades and take a walk at the same time.
As a result, after going through this whole process, he felt that he had fallen into the trap of the unscrupulous businessman Hao Jian.
There are indeed some unruly people living in the poor mountains and bad waters, but there is more poverty.
Not to mention a hundred yuan a month, even twenty yuan a month can recruit a little brother who is willing to follow you and kill people.
Please note, it’s the little brother, not the girl, the kind of girl that even a kidnapper wouldn’t have the trouble to kidnap away from here.
There are plenty of people outside the mountain waiting for you to cheat them, so why bother going to a village that takes two days to get out of the mountain?
Is it okay to calculate the costs when being a liar?
But the guy named "Ergou" from Pengcheng Factory No. 7 has been running around here for half a year. He goes to the poorest valley and recruits workers from village to village with county officials.
Each village recruits three people at a time, because Hao Jian told him that they should "let some people get rich first."
These three people are the hope for the whole village to become rich.
So the little girl who was standing in the workshop as punishment was lying when she said she was afraid of being scolded by her mother when she got home.
The truth is that half of the village will scold her.
Because if there were no officials from the county with him, Ergou would have no chance of leaving the mountains unless he took all the villagers away.
One hundred dollars a month! When will the next scammer come? In the year of the monkey or the horse?
And for more than a year, Pengcheng Factory No. 7 has never successfully persuaded a worker to quit.
For more than half a month, Guo Donglun took care of Ergou very hard and had to change two crutches.
Half a month later, Guo Donglun witnessed Ergou sending a group of new workers onto the train, and gave the county official a "business trip subsidy" of 100 yuan to ask him to send these fellow villagers to Pengcheng.
He smiled and said to the babysitter Xiao Liang: "Is that guy trying to take advantage of my kindness?"
Nanny Xiao Liang was silent for a few seconds before she said softly, "It may not be taking advantage of me. Maybe I want to compete with you in kindness."
At the first International College Debate in 1993, the topic of the final debate was "Human Nature is Good vs. Human Nature is Evil", and the debate between both sides was extremely exciting.
There will always be the dark side of "evil" in human nature, but the bright side of "good" can never be erased.
“Heh~”
Guo Donglun chuckled, then got on the train, went out of the southwest, and turned north.
As the world outside the car window became more and more prosperous, Guo Donglun's resentment of being "used" faded.
So when he was about to reach the Beijing Railway Station, he decided to be more generous and give the other party a good look.
Through the curtains of the soft sleeper car, Guo Donglun saw Jin Peng.
Guo Donglun felt that he was more compatible with this gangster-like man with a flat head than with Hao Jian.
But the next moment Guo Donglun frowned.
Because next to Jin Peng, there were two young people, a man and a woman.
Guo Donglun couldn't help but ask the babysitter Xiao Liang: "Which one is the real one?"
Nanny Xiao Liang curled her lips and didn't answer.
Aren't you proud and stubborn? Aren't you too lazy to ask for details and just sent a telegram to the Beijing Office of Pengcheng No. 7 Factory?
Are you confused now?
Guo Donglun snorted lightly and looked carefully at the people on the platform.
Jin Peng's position at this time was obviously following that of a young man and a young woman, and the two young people stood side by side, regardless of age or size, as if they were a couple?
"Couples also have priorities."
Guo Donglun narrowed his observation range and first stared at Li Ye. At this time, the babysitter Xiao Liang suddenly asked in confusion: "Huh? Does that boy look familiar?"
Guo Donglun opened the curtain a little and found that Li Ye looked familiar. Very familiar.
Isn't this the guy at the end of the promo?
But Guo Donglun still stared at Wen Leyu, changing back and forth countless times, but he still couldn't be sure.
Li Ye is tall and handsome, with gentle eyes that casually sweep over him. He is calm and steady, which is totally inconsistent with his apparent age. He is even more vivid than in the promotional video.
Wen Leyu seemed weak and reluctant, with lazy and unfocused eyes, and was truly nonchalant, but Guo Donglun could not ignore her occasional cold glance.
"Is it impossible? If they have such a way, why would they look for me?"
Guo Donglun really scratched his head, feeling that he might not have been out for a long time and couldn't even do the basic thing of observing people's words and expressions.
What the hell is this even worth talking about?
