Cheng Maixiang and Lin Jiayu walked hand in hand on the streets of Guangzhou at dusk. Under the dim street lights, they saw pedestrians in groups of three or five, or with their families, strolling on the streets.
"Jia Yu, I drove Aunt Qin away, do you really not mind?"
Cheng Maixiang has relatives in this life, but she had the same experience as him in her previous life. She can understand the thoughts of people who were abandoned by their parents and then found by their parents. On the one hand, she does not want to have anything to do with them, but on the other hand, she still hopes to have the opportunity to meet them again.
Especially when the parents who come to visit deeply regret having abandoned their child and intend to make amends, the child's desire to see them again becomes even stronger.
In her previous life, her biological parents were extremely poor. Although she had completely cut off contact with them, she still couldn't help but feel regretful that she could not see her parents again.
Compared to her weird parents, Aunt Qin and Qin Xinran really treated him as a relative, especially Aunt Qin's crying. Now she feels sad when she thinks about it.
Lin Jiayu shook his head. "Maizi, you handled it very well. Your words completely woke her up and let her know what to do. I admit that I really don't want to see the Qin family, not a single one. She can promise not to harass me in the future. I really feel relieved.
And you didn't refuse her contact information. If one day, my heart is really broad enough to let go of all this and no longer care about what the Qin family did, I might go back to take a look, but it may be a long time in the future."
Yes, when he becomes a leader in the business world in the future, and has seen the fickleness of human nature and the vicissitudes of life, perhaps he can really let go of the harm caused to him by the Qin family.
Wait, did he finally return to the Qin family and take over Mr. Qin’s business?
Cheng Maixiang remembered that in that period novel, he was imprisoned for more than a year. After he was released from prison, he worked hard and rose to a high position step by step. There seemed to be no plot about the Qin family.
Was it that the Qin family didn't find him, or that he had never cared about the Qin family from the beginning to the end, or was it that because he came to this world, some things changed, and the Qin family's affairs only emerged because of his arrival?
Cheng Maixiang felt like her head was about to hurt, and she couldn't figure out what was going on. She kept shaking her head. Lin Jiayu held her head with both hands and said with a smile, "It's too far away to talk about the future now. The most important thing right now is to find a place to fill our stomachs."
Seeing him smiling, Cheng Maixiang was obviously relieved by Qin's mother's promise and felt much better. So she nodded heavily and said, "Okay, I'm hungry too. I want to eat soup dumplings."
"Okay, then let's go eat soup dumplings, the most expensive kind."
The five-day Canton Fair finally ended. As the hall staff announced the closure, Cheng Maixiang took down all the photos and decorations on the wall, looked at the empty hall reluctantly, and smiled slightly.
This is also a valuable experience for her, and she believes that she will remember it for the rest of her life.
Even the factory director hummed a little tune while happily tying up the things he had taken away. The garment factory had reaped huge rewards at this Canton Fair. Not only did it receive orders several times more than in previous years, it also met many big names in the industry and got a lot of inside information. Naturally, it was overjoyed.
When the factory director saw that the cleanup was almost complete, he called out to the two men and said, "Alright, Comrade Xiao Cheng, Comrade Xiao Lin, I'll leave these things here at the guild hall. I'll send someone to pick them up tomorrow. Let's go eat first."
Cheng Maixiang and Lin Jiayu followed Director Lian and Section Chief Zeng out of the guild hall and subconsciously headed for the bus stop. Section Chief Zeng quickly greeted them, "Comrade Xiao Lin, Comrade Xiao Cheng, Director Lian asked me to order a Red Stool today, so we don't have to take the bus."
Red stool? What is that? Is it a three-wheeled vehicle?
Cheng Maixiang frowned when she thought of the electric tricycles that roamed the city alleys in her previous life. Those vehicles were so bumpy that she would rather take the bus.
No, there don’t seem to be electric cars in this era. So what exactly is a red stool?
The two curiously followed Section Chief Yuan for a while and saw a red car parked in the square in front of the hall.
Seeing the two men's curious expressions, as if they had discovered a new world, Section Chief Zeng couldn't help but say with a touch of pride, "This is a car our Guangzhou Automobile Company has specially equipped for the Canton Fair attendees. Before the fair, they even sent a special letter to the guests, saying that if you need a car in an area without a car service point, you can wave to stop if there is an empty car."
Wait and it'll stop? It turns out this is a taxi.
Cheng Maixiang knew that taxis had entered China before liberation, but gradually disappeared. Later, around the time of opening up, taxis began to appear in front of the general public. After decades of development, they have become an indispensable part of residents' lives.
Unexpectedly, when she came to attend the Canton Fair, she had the opportunity to ride in the earliest taxi of this era.
The four of them got into the car one after another. When the factory director saw that Cheng Maixiang was the only girl among the four, he decided to let her sit in the front passenger seat, and the three men sat in the back seat. Fortunately, there were no fat people in this era, so the three of them sitting in the back didn't feel crowded at all.
Along the way, Lin Jiayu was the most curious about the car among the four people. He kept asking the driver questions. Fortunately, the driver was also a talkative person. He was not annoyed by Lin Jiayu's questioning. Instead, he told him everything he knew, which also allowed Cheng Maixiang to learn a lot about taxis of that era.
This red car is an Isuzu Mark Six car, purchased from abroad by Guangzhou Automobile Company. The drivers are basically hired by the company. Some people have their own money to buy cars and register them with the company. They pay the full monthly fee and the rest is their own.
