Chapter 225 Reunion
"Do you think Xiaoyun likes Zhang Yong?"
On the way home, Lin Yan suddenly asked this question.
Song Yuanchao was stunned. He didn't expect Lin Yan to see it too. But he really didn't know how to answer this question. After thinking about it, Song Yuanchao said, "It's hard to say. Maybe Xiaoyun just has a good impression of Zhang Yong."
"That's possible. But when I looked at Xiaoyun and Zhang Yong today, they seemed a little... a little..." Lin Yan tilted her head and thought, and after a long while she uttered something interesting.
"In fact, Zhang Yong is not bad. He is young but worth a lot. He has a big business now. He is the only one at home and there are no elders or elderly people. It would be a good thing if Xiaoyun and Zhang Yong could be together."
"But isn't Zhang Yong a gangster? Xiaoyun is a college student, are they a good match?" Lin Yan said hesitantly.
"There are no real gangsters in our country. Zhang Yong just loved fighting in the past. He is similar to the gangsters in Yanjing. I remember you told me before that your elder brother and second brother were also gangsters in the past. Do you still despise them?" Song Yuanchao laughed and said half seriously and half jokingly: "Besides, Zhang Yong has stopped being a gangster a long time ago. He has been doing business well in the past two years. You have seen the house he bought. His character is fine. In addition, I talked to him and he will gradually cut off contact with his former friends in society in the future, so don't say anything about him being a gangster."
"Well, I know that what I said may be misunderstood, but Xiaoyun is a good girl, and I don't want her to meet the wrong person." Lin Yan nodded and explained, but then frowned again: "Yuan Chao, I remember that Xiaoyun and Luo Yang have a good relationship, right? I seem to have heard you mention before whether Luo Yang likes Xiaoyun? If Xiaoyun and Zhang Yong are together, what will Luo Yang do?"
"You, you are just worrying about other people's love affairs." Song Yuanchao touched Lin Yan's long hair and said seriously, " Only you know this kind of thing. You should know this better than anyone else. If you like someone, you like him. If you don't like someone, you don't like him. You can't force feelings. No matter whether Xiaoyun falls in love with Luo Yang or Zhang Yong in the end, as a friend of both of them, I am happy to see such a result. The key lies in how Xiaoyun makes her own choice. We can't interfere in this matter, but I believe that no matter who Xiaoyun ends up with, with their character and ability, Xiaoyun will be happy."
Song Yuanchao's words immediately made Lin Yan wake up. Yes! This is just like me. If I like it, I like it. If I don't like it, I don't like it. Wasn't it the same with me, Song Yuanchao and Zhao Minglei? After Zhao Minglei, who was better than Song Yuanchao, appeared, Lin Yan did not choose Zhao Minglei, but continued to love Song Yuanchao.
Love is something that only those involved can relate to, and outsiders cannot understand. Lin Yan was really worrying about nothing just now. Just like what she said during the performance, Luo Yang is a good man, but Zhang Yong is also an excellent man. No matter who Li Xiaoyun finally chooses between these two men, it is the right choice for Li Xiaoyun, and the key lies in who she finally falls in love with.
Thinking of this, Lin Yan's worries disappeared instantly, and she smiled brightly. She nodded seriously and stopped worrying about it, because the person she loved was right beside her! Lin Yan held Song Yuanchao's arm like a little bird, and walked towards home with him with a smile.
More than ten days passed in a flash, and it was August 17th in the blink of an eye.
According to the schedule, there were not many days left before the establishment of the Special Administrative Region, and Song Yuanchao and his men were also preparing to set off for Guangzhou.
Originally, Zhang Yong and Li Xiaoyun were going to go together, but they canceled the trip because of Zhang Yong's injury. As for Li Xiaoyun, she said she had to take care of Zhang Yong so she didn't go. They agreed to meet at school after school started.
On the afternoon of August 17, Song Yuanchao, Lin Yan and Li Daqi boarded a train to Yangcheng. After nearly three days of travel, the train arrived at Yangcheng Station on the morning of August 20.
This was the first time for the three of them to visit Guangzhou at this time. Compared with Shanghai Railway Station, Guangzhou Railway Station also had a sense of history.
Carrying their luggage, the three of them walked out of the platform. As soon as they reached the exit, they saw three people standing there who had been waiting eagerly. These three people were two men and one woman, just like Song Yuanchao and his group. One of the man and woman was Gu Jie and Ying Caixia, while the other man was thin and dark-skinned, and he looked like a local, but Song Yuanchao did not recognize him.
"Daqi! Daqi!"
Seeing Li Daqi, the man jumped and danced excitedly, and rushed over impatiently as soon as Li Daqi passed the exit.
Seeing him, Li Daqi was also very happy. He walked forward and hugged the man tightly. The two grown men were not afraid of the heat in the summer. They hugged each other and patted each other's backs.
Not only them, but also Lin Yan and Ying Caixia. They haven't seen each other for several years. This is the first time she has seen Ying Caixia since Lin Yan left after being admitted to university.
The two good friends who had been together for many years in the northwest met again. Lin Yan and Ying Caixia's eyes were filled with tears. They hugged each other, crying and laughing, causing the people outside the train station to couldn't help but look over here .
"Brother Song!" Gu Jie smiled brightly at Song Yuanchao and reached out to help him take the luggage.
It has been half a year since the Spring Festival. After Qin Zhengguo went to Hong Kong, all the affairs in Yangcheng were handed over to Gu Jie and Ying Caixia. In the early days, because Ying Caixia was not very familiar with the situation, Gu Jie took the initiative to shoulder most of the burden. After half a year of experience, he seemed much more mature.
"Thank you for your hard work, Gu Jie. You came to pick us up in such a hot day."
"Brother Song, I will be unhappy if you keep saying such polite words. How can I not come to greet you when you come? Can we still be brothers if you don't come? Don't forget that you are our boss. If we employees don't come to greet you when you come, won't we be angry?" Gu Jie replied with a smile. Compared with before, he was much less immature and had some of the slickness and sophistication inherent in a businessman.
This is not a bad thing. It is impossible to work hard in Guangzhou without changes. Gu Jie is also growing continuously, otherwise he would not have taken up the cause of Guangzhou after Qin Zhengguo went to Hong Kong.
"Yuanchao, let me introduce you. This is Ou Aimin, my good buddy when I was an educated youth. I mentioned him to you before." Li Daqi was very happy to meet Ou Aimin. After they laughed and joked for a while, Li Daqi remembered to bring Ou Aimin to formally introduce him to Song Yuanchao.
"Hello, Aimin, right? I've heard of your name for a long time. Although this is the first time we meet, we have been friends for a long time, right? By the way, I haven't had the chance to thank you yet. When Zhengguo first arrived in Yangcheng, it was all thanks to your help..."
" Hello . Nice to meet you. I've heard of your name for a long time." Ou Aimin spoke Mandarin quite well. Although he still had a dialect accent, it was much better than many local people. This was of course because he was an educated youth.
Ou Aimin was a cheerful young man who was dressed very fashionably. He smiled and shook hands with Song Yuanchao. "I couldn't really help Brother Qin with his affairs. To be honest, Brother Qin is a very capable person. When we arrived in Guangzhou, we originally planned to have him follow us to run aquatic products business, but he established himself in a short time. Now he is even more amazing. His business is very big and he has become a big boss in Hong Kong. Those small favors I did back then were really not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning..."
"You're too polite. If it weren't for your help, he wouldn't have been able to achieve what he has today. I'll always remember this favor. Just let me know if I can help you in any way in the future. You are Daqi's brother, and Daqi and I grew up together as buddies, so you are also my brother and my friend." Song Yuanchao held Ou Aimin's hand tightly and said. Ou Aimin felt the sincerity from Song Yuanchao's actions and tone, and he grinned and nodded repeatedly.
Gu Jie and his friends came by car. Business in Yangcheng was getting better and better, so Gu Jie bought a car at Song Yuanchao's suggestion. Although it was not a good car, just a second-hand van from Japan that came from Hong Kong, it was much better than most cars in this era.
Six people got in the van. This van was just the right size for the luggage. Gu Jie drove towards the city and arrived half an hour later.
This is a street behind Gaudi Street, and one of the buildings is where Gu Jie and Ying Caixia live.
Speaking of this building, we have to mention Qin Zhengguo. Shortly after Qin Zhengguo arrived in Guangzhou, he rented a storefront on Gaodi Street. The storefront was located on the side of this building close to Gaodi Street.
This store can be said to be Qin Zhengguo's first step in his career in Yangcheng. After Gu Jie came to Yangcheng later, the two of them gradually expanded the store and made a lot of money.
As bell-bottom pants, floral shirts, jeans, microphones, electronic watches, calculators and other items suddenly became popular in China after the Spring Festival this year, Qin Zhengguo, who went to Hong Kong, used his connections with Gu Jie and Ying Caixia in Guangzhou and Shanghai and Beijing to expand his business rapidly.
In just a few months, apart from the profits from Hong Kong, Shanghai and Beijing, the profits from Yangcheng were simply jaw-dropping. Even Gu Jie did not expect this business to be so profitable. Moreover, they were not only in Yangcheng to meet the needs of Shanghai and Beijing, but also to meet the needs of local customers and other customers to purchase goods from Yangcheng. Therefore, from this point of view, the profits from Yangcheng were no less than those from Shanghai and Beijing, and even more.
With the money, Qin Zhengguo called Gu Jie from Hong Kong. After staying in Hong Kong for half a year, he gradually became familiar with the pace of life in Hong Kong, and many of his thoughts and ideas began to change. In addition, Qin Zhengguo was a natural businessman, and Hong Kong had a real estate boom, so after seeking Song Yuanchao's consent, Qin Zhengguo asked Gu Jie to pay to buy the storefront he had originally rented. He not only bought the original storefront, but also the building where the storefront was located.
The building is four stories high and has a common arcade structure in the south. The original storefront near Gaudi Street was left untouched, but was simply expanded to become larger, while the other two small storefronts were rented out.
As for the remaining three floors, Gu Jie did not rent them out, but hired someone to renovate them for use as the company's office and residence.
In addition, for convenience, people enter and exit through a road at the back on weekdays, and the storefront on Gaudi Street in front is still used for daily operations.
