Chapter 294 100% Profit? I Did It!
For Li Ye, the National Day in 1983 was not much different from that in 1982.
All units put up banners that read "Happy National Day"; some even hung two lanterns or painted some slogans, which looked quite festive in red and green.
Li Ye was not interested in the slogans, but was somewhat interested in the National Day celebrations. However, he could only watch from afar last year, and he could only watch from afar this year as well.
As for the area at the front of the square, let alone Li Ye, even if his grandfather Li Zhongfa came, it would be hard to say whether he could get close.
"Can you see it? I can't."
Wen Leyu stood beside Li Ye, standing on tiptoe to look into the distance, her eyes also full of curiosity and yearning.
Wen Leyu is not a curious girl, which shows the status of the National Day celebration in the minds of flower growers at this time.
Seeing several parents carrying their children on their necks not far away, Li Ye pulled Wen Leyu, and the little girl obediently put her head close to him. There was a lot of noise around, and she couldn't hear what they were saying unless she came closer.
Li Ye whispered, "You can see it if you ride on me."
Wen Leyu slowly turned her face away, squinting her eyes and glancing at Li Ye with a half-smile.
[Girl, don’t let your mind wander! ]
Wen Leyu curled his lips: "You are a grown man, and you are not ashamed to be ridden by a woman like me."
Li Ye couldn't help swallowing his saliva and said, "It's definitely not okay for others to ride on me, but I'm happy for you to ride on me."
Wen Leyu said unhappily: "Go away, you are happy but I am ashamed!"
In later generations, it was okay for girls to ride on their boyfriend’s head, they could even laugh and make hand gestures. But now, if a grown-up girl rides on a boy’s head, it will attract more attention than a monkey show.
"Also, if you treat me like a kid again, I'll bite you."
Wen Leyu warned Li Ye with a fierce look and gently kicked his calf, like a big cat that is annoyed by being stroked and is kicking its legs to express its dissatisfaction.
Li Ye often rubs Wen Leyu's hair, so she has protested many times that he can no longer treat her like a child. Now he wants to carry her on his neck and play with her?
Alas, the girl born in 1983 knows nothing.
Wen Leyu stood on tiptoe for a long time but couldn't see anything, so he simply said, "I can't see anything. Let's go. There's a candied haws stall over there. I'll treat you to some."
Li Ye followed slowly, and couldn't help but smile as he saw Wen Leyu taking out his wallet and walking towards the candied haws vendor.
Although she didn't allow Li Ye to treat her as a child, but how was her light and joyful footsteps different from those of the young girls she missed?
Wen Leyu bought two candied haws, held one in each hand and compared them together, and decisively gave the smaller one to Li Ye.
"This one is big, I'll give it to you."
Li Ye didn't poke it open, but took it and took a bite.
The candied haws in October are made of fresh hawthorns, sour and sweet, exactly the same taste as the one I longed for in my dreams.
. . . . . .
In the afternoon, Li Ye and Wen Leyu carried meat and vegetables and strolled back to Zaojun Temple like a young couple.
It's not that the two of them can't afford to eat out, but the main reason is that Li Ye has been busy having dinner with his teammates and Li Huaisheng and others these days. He hasn't fed Wen Leyu for a long time and is afraid that Wen Leyu will lose weight if he doesn't feed her.
The two had just had a warm dinner when they heard a car outside the door. Jin Peng and Pei Wencong also entered the yard carrying a bag of vegetables.
Wen Leyu had already eaten and drunk her fill and was about to go back to school, so Li Ye asked Jin Peng to drive her back.
Pei Wencong went into the kitchen and started cooking skillfully.
Li Ye asked with a smile: "Why? Are the Cantonese restaurants in Beijing not to your taste, Boss Pei? Do you still want to cook it yourself?"
Pei Wencong shook his head and said, "I haven't had a peaceful meal these days. I want to drink three times a day. I didn't eat at noon today, and I was almost blocked by people from the film studio at night. I finally got Brother Jin Peng to take me to hide here, so of course I have to fill my stomach first."
"Okay! I'll help you."
The two of them divided the work and worked together, and finally made several decent Cantonese dishes.
"Old Pei, you have good skills!"
"When I was young, my mother helped a relative run a food stall, and I worked as a helper. But later on, the family became wealthy, and my mother and I lost our jobs."
"Hehe, Lao Pei, you are a man with a story."
"Story?" Pei Wencong sighed and said, "If I become rich, my miserable life will be a good story. If I become poor, then it will not be a story but a joke!"
The food was served, and Li Ye accompanied Pei Wencong to eat a little. But when Pei Wencong was halfway through eating, he put down his bowl, raised his head, and his eyes were excited.
"Mr. Li, I actually still want to drink a little wine today."
“.”
"Why?"
Li Ye smiled and reached for a bottle of Moutai that he had prepared before the meal and poured a glass for Pei Wencong.
“Because of my life”
Pei Wencong pondered for a long time, drank a glass of wine, and said happily: "Because in my life, I have never been respected like today, or..."
Pei Wencong hesitated for a long time before saying, "It wasn't until today that I knew what it felt like to be respected."
Li Ye poured another glass of wine for Pei Wencong and asked with a smile: "Tell me in detail."
Pei Wencong drank it all again and said, "Today I followed the relevant personnel to attend the National Day ceremony. I had to go through several inspections on the way. Every time I was inspected, the people nearby and the people far away looked at me with warm and envious eyes.
And I am sure that the reason they envy me is not because I am rich, because I don’t have a sign saying ‘I am a billionaire’ on me.”
"And all the officers who checked me would salute me afterwards. I've seen police officers salute in Hong Kong Island, but that's totally different,"
“When I stood on the stage, I could see as many people as I could see.”
"An old comrade next to me chatted with me for a while. What level do you think he is?"
I guess you're just showing off, right? You're the only one who can do this, right?
But Pei Wencong obviously didn't realize it, and said excitedly: "He is almost like the Governor of Hong Kong, managing millions of people, and after the people around me knew that I was from Hong Kong Island, they suddenly became gentle. I can feel their closeness to me."
"I paid so much tax to the British Hong Kong government, but I never felt this close to it."
Li Ye poured Pei Wencong another glass of wine and asked, "Do you know why they are close to you?"
Pei Wencong blinked his eyes and asked, "Why?"
Li Ye held up a finger and said, "First, they recognize that you are a flower-growing person. Don't mention the Hong Kong British passport to them, otherwise they will let you know what it means to sacrifice relatives for the sake of justice."
Li Ye held up two fingers: "Second, you are early."
Pei Wencong asked doubtfully, "You're here early? What does that mean?"
Li Ye said: "I won't explain this to you in detail. You can figure it out yourself later. But I'm telling you, those who come early can eat meat, and those who come late will be lucky enough to just lick the soup."
Pei Wencong stared at Li Ye blankly, his eyes becoming brighter and brighter.
For a poor boy to be admitted to the University of Hong Kong, his IQ must be quite high. And he has been working hard in Hong Kong Island for so many years, so how could he not understand what Li Ye meant?
"Mr. Li, how big is this piece of meat?"
"You are so greedy." Li Ye smiled and said, "I don't know how big the meat is, but do you think that given the current closed class situation in Hong Kong Island, if you want to catch up with Li Chaoren and others, you only need excellent vision and superb business skills?"
Pei Wencong: “.”
Chasing Superman Li?
Even in his dreams, Pei Wencong didn't dare to have such thoughts.
Just over a year ago, his dream was to own a real "sea view office".
How many sea view offices does Li Chaoren have?
Pei Wencong swallowed his saliva and asked, "Then what do you rely on?"
Li Ye said calmly: "Rely on the general trend, unification is the general trend."
Pei Wencong hesitated for only a second before asking again: "How much do I have to spend to eat meat?"
Li Ye almost laughed out of anger, "Do you think the Great Eagle Empire donated the title? Do you know what the pattern is?"
But Li Ye still explained: "Spend one dollar, earn two dollars, the more the better."
"One hundred percent profit?"
"more than."
"Done."
