Chapter 120 Heading South to Yangcheng
With the rumbling sound of cars, Mi Xia took Li Weiwei and Zhang Xiaoyu on their journey to Shenzhen. But they will go to Yangcheng first to meet their second uncle's family.
Because of her physical disability, they chose to take a soft sleeper. Shenzhen was a place that Mi Xia attached great importance to. Therefore, even though she was six months pregnant, she ignored Wang Fen's dissuasion and boarded the train heading south under the careful instructions of her family.
Because this trip also includes Hong Kong, Liu Haoyue cannot come along due to his military status.
"Sister Xia, why do you have to go to Shenzhen? Is that place special?" Zhang Xiaoyu couldn't help asking.
"Shencheng! That place is a good place in the future. Xiaoyu, sometimes you can't just look at the present when doing things, but think about the long term. You still have to learn this well."
Speaking of Shenzhen, Mi Xia became interested and continued to teach Zhang Xiaoyu: "Do you know where the chief grandfather has been recently?"
Zhang Xiaoyu shook his head: "I don't know, I'm busy with work all day and don't have time to watch the news!"
"Did you go to Shencheng?" Li Weiwei asked softly. She and Mi Xia were not as familiar with each other as Zhang Xiaoyu, so she was a little hesitant when speaking.
"Weiwei is right, Xiaoyu, you have to remember this. When we are doing business, we have to read the news. And it's not just about reading the news, but reading and understanding the news. Do you understand?"
Seeing Zhang Xiaoyu nodding as if he understood, Mi Xia continued, "For example, this trip to Shenzhen. If you follow the news, you will find that the chief grandfather went to Shenzhen recently. Why did he go south to take care of this matter personally at such an old age?"
"Does that mean this matter is very serious?" Zhang Xiaoyu asked at the right time.
"Right. Now the higher-ups have positioned Shenzhen as a special economic zone, and it's the first special economic zone in all of China. What is a special economic zone? It's for developing the economy."
Mi Xia paused for a moment, "You can see from the map that Shenzhen is next to Hong Kong. It will take less than 20 years for Hong Kong to return to the old state. What is Hong Kong's status? It is one of the four Asian dragons and a world-renowned financial capital."
"Then what is the purpose of positioning Shenzhen as a special economic zone?" Mi Xia asked.
"Are you going to build Shenzhen into a metropolis like Hong Kong? This is too much, just over ten years." Although Zhang Xiaoyu has never been to Hong Kong, he has seen it on TV and in newspapers. It is a city full of decadence and bright lights.
"Yes, that's right. As a bridgehead connecting Hong Kong to the mainland, Shenzhen created another Hong Kong before the handover. How big do you think the business opportunities are here?"
Mi Xia's remarks completely confused Zhang Xiaoyu, and Li Weiwei was also seeing stars. It seemed that this schoolmate of hers was quite capable.
Zhang Yu thought, no wonder Mi Xia always asked him to study more, she is indeed a top student of Jingqing University, she looks at things in the same way as someone like me who can't read a single word.
Zhang Xiaoyu secretly made up his mind that he must study hard in the future, otherwise he might not be able to keep up with Sister Xia.
As the three of them chatted along the way, Mi Xia taught Zhang Xiaoyu a lot of knowledge that could not be learned from books. Zhang Xiaoyu felt that the three-day car ride was just a flash of time.
And Zhang Xiaoyu really admired this Sister Xia who seemed to know everything and could do everything.
The green train swayed into Yangcheng Station. Fortunately, there was still some space, so Mi Xia took advantage of the toilet time to soak in the spiritual spring several times along the way. Therefore, although she had been sitting in the train for three days, Mi Xia was still full of energy.
Zhang Xiaoyu was also in high spirits because he had been absorbing knowledge like a sponge along the way and was still in a very excited state.
As for Li Weiwei, it was obvious that after three days of getting along day and night, she had become much more familiar with Mi Xia, and now they were like sisters who could talk about anything.
The three of them had just got off the car when they saw a person holding up a large sign with the words "Mi Xia" written on it not far away. Mi Xia, Zhang Xiaoyu and Li Weiwei walked towards the person holding the sign.
"Hello, I'm Mi Xia."
"Oh, hello, the boss asked me to pick you up." The person who came was sent by Liu's second uncle. Guangzhou is a relatively open city, so officials here call their leaders "bosses" in public, which is more low-key.
"Come with me, the car is outside." The man holding the sign put down the sign, took a bag from Zhang Xiaoyu's hand, and led the three people out.
After leaving the station, the group of four walked towards a black Hongqi car parked in front of the door. After chatting along the way, they learned that the driver was named Wang Baolei, 23 years old, and a native of Yangcheng.
After learning that the destination was 30 kilometers away from the station, Mi Xia hurriedly said to Wang Baolei: "Comrade Wang, thank you for coming so far to pick us up."
"No, the boss told us to do it." Wang Baolei replied in standard Yangcheng Mandarin, "Also, don't call me Comrade Wang, it's a bit too formal."
At this time, Zhang Xiaoyu, who was sitting in the co-pilot seat, suddenly said, "Then let's call you King Xiao, right?"
Hearing this, Mi Xia and Li Weiwei in the back seat turned pale instantly, and Wang Baolei's face turned very dark.
Zhang Xiaoyu hadn't noticed yet and was still asking questions, but all he heard was Wang Baolei's perfunctory "hmm". He didn't stop talking until Li Weiwei poked him.
No conversation along the way.
The car slowly drove into a district full of two- and three-story buildings. The guard at the gate saluted and let the car pass when he saw the license plate.
The car stopped next to a three-story building. Li Weiwei carefully helped Mi Xia get off the car. As expected, it was Yangcheng. A heat wave hit them as they got off the car.
"Weiwei, don't be so nervous, I'm fine." Mi Xia smiled and waved her hands, even though her body size was now comparable to that of a woman about to give birth.
However, due to the nourishment of the spiritual spring, Mi Xia's physical fitness is far superior to that of ordinary people, and her movements are also flexible and free.
At the door, Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu were waiting there early. As soon as Mi Xia got out of the car, Aunt Liu hurried over.
"Xia, you are such a handsome guy. You dragged yourself so far and came here. Come in and sit down. This is your second uncle."
"Hello, second uncle, hello, second aunt." Mi Xia greeted them sweetly. Zhang 께 Yu놌 and Li Weiwei also greeted.
Mi Xia then took out the gifts she had brought for her second uncle and second aunt. The one for her second uncle was a cup of tea grown in the space, which Mi Xia had roasted herself. The one for her second aunt was of course cosmetics processed by Mi Xia. No woman could resist this.
Mi Xia followed her second uncle and second aunt into the house, and found that the house was unusually cool. It turned out that her second uncle's house had already been equipped with air conditioning, which reminded Mi Xia of the days when there was air conditioning, WIFI and big watermelon.
