Early in the morning, Shen Lin woke up from his sleep and felt his left arm a little stiff.
The old man was shaking his head and fanning himself, still sending out gusts of cool breeze. In his arms, Lu Xiaorong was like a kitten, sleeping quietly.
There was a sweet smile on Lu Xiaorong's face at this moment.
Shen Lin did not pull his arm away, but silently stared at Lu Xiaorong's pretty and lovely face.
Although they didn't do anything last night because of the child, Shen Lin felt that he and Lu Xiaorong had never been as close as they were last night.
After coming back for a month, he finally made up for the biggest regret of his previous life, but for Shen Lin, this was just a starting point.
His goal is to make Lu Xiaorong live a good life.
Guangzi and his team have collected a lot of second-hand home appliances, and have repaired most of them themselves. With the funds they have, it is more than enough for them to open a second-hand home appliance recycling store.
It would be best to negotiate the store lease contract today.
When Shen Lin thought of the row of warehouses, his heart was filled with excitement. The location of that row of warehouses was once the best commercial street. Even in the early 1990s, it was difficult to find a store there, and the transfer fee reached tens of thousands.
If you can open a second-hand home appliance recycling store in the best location, then apart from anything else, the store transfer fee ten years later will be enough to make you a lot of money.
Just as Shen Lin was silently planning how big his store should be, Lu Xiaorong, who was sleeping, suddenly moved.
Lu Xiaorong opened his eyes, glanced at Shen Lin, and said with a smile: "What time is it now?"
"It's already half past six. Eat some noodles later and then you should report to your new post." Shen Lin couldn't help but give Lu Xiaorong a light kiss on the face and said with a smile.
Lu Xiaorong did not resist Shen Lin's kiss. She gathered her fluffy hair and said worriedly, "I heard that the radio station is full of talents from our main factory, and there are even college students. I wonder if I can do well."
"It's okay, you can do it." Shen Lin said confidently: "You are the only talented woman in our factory who has published works in major magazines in all these years."
"The radio station at the main factory is just a small place."
"The ones who should be trembling are your colleagues. They should be afraid of the arrival of a top talent."
Hearing Shen Lin's comforting words, Lu Xiaorong couldn't help but roll his eyes at him and said, "Are you praising me or yourself?"
"In front of others, you say that The Wandering Earth is my work, but we both know that this idea is yours."
"If you hadn't provided the story, I wouldn't have been able to publish the article based on my writing skills alone."
At this point, Lu Xiaorong suddenly said, "While it's still early, tell me a story so that when people ask me if I have any other stories similar to The Wandering Earth, I won't be able to tell anything."
Shen Lin looked at Lu Xiaorong, who was full of coquettishness, and felt sweet in his heart. He stretched out his hand and scratched Lu Xiaorong's arrogant nose and said, "Okay, then let's tell a new story."
As he spoke, countless stories emerged in Shen Lin's mind.
He thinks that some of the movies that can be considered science fiction are The Terminator, The Three-Body Problem, and The Martian...
But after thinking about it, Shen Lin decided to talk about the Three-Body Problem. Although other things are fine, Lu Xiaorong might not understand them, so it is better to talk about things that Lu Xiaorong can understand easily.
Having made up his mind, Shen Lin coughed and said, "Today I will tell you a story I thought of before. It's called the Three-Body Problem..."
When Lu Xiaorong heard the words "Three Body", she was confused. She felt that the name of this story was far inferior to "The Wandering Earth", but when Shen Lin slowly unfolded the story, Lu Xiaorong's eyes suddenly lit up.
She listened to Shen Lin's explanation silently and asked a few questions from time to time. As the story went deeper, Lu Xiaorong found herself completely immersed in Shen Lin's story .
"Oh, it's 7:10. I'm going to be late." Lu Xiaorong unconsciously glanced at her Plum Blossom watch and hurriedly got up from the bed. She said anxiously, "I have to wash my face quickly, otherwise I will be late."
Shen Lin was originally just telling a story, but gradually, he became a little immersed in the plot. This can only be blamed on Liu Cixin, as the story he wrote is so attractive.
"Go wash up first. I'll make noodles. It will be ready in a moment."
Ten minutes later, at Shen Lin's insistence, Lu Xiaorong, after eating a bowl of fried egg noodles, hurried towards the hardware machinery factory.
Today, the deputy director of the hardware machinery factory will accompany him and Shen Xingye to take up their new posts. This should also be her last day at the hardware machinery factory.
Shen Lin wanted to drive his tricycle to take Lu Xiaorong to work, but Lu Xiaorong insisted. After Lu Xiaorong went to work, Shen Lin ate a large bowl of the remaining noodles, took a cold shower, and then drove his tricycle towards the Beicheng Police Station.
As soon as he parked the car, Shen Lin ran into Xu Ruibing. Xu Ruibing was eating a pancake in his hand. When he saw Shen Lin, he smiled and said, "Shen Lin, why are you here today?"
"Brother Xu, I have something to ask Director Song for help."
"You've come just in time. Chief Song is in the office." Xu Ruibing ate the egg-filled pancake in his hand while talking. Then he said, "I was just saying I wanted to find you. Do you have any second-hand color TVs? I have a friend who is getting married and can't buy a TV. He's so anxious that bubbles are coming out of his head."
Shen Lin said: "Brother Xu, there are really no color TVs now, but I do have a black and white one. Let your friend take a look at it. If he likes it, I can give it a discount."
Xu Ruibing was a little disappointed when he heard the black and white, but he could also explain to his old friend, so he smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll let him go over and take a look today."
As they were talking, Shen Lin and Xu Ruibing came to Director Song's office. Director Song saw Shen Lin and pointed at him, saying, "Shen Lin, you've shown your face this time."
"You are the youngest among the Dongzhou's outstanding individuals who have performed heroic deeds. In a few days, the higher-ups will be preparing to commend you."
"But I still want to criticize you. If there is anything good, you can't just think about Chu Feng, you have to think about us too. After all, the Dongfeng Hotel was very close to our jurisdiction at that time."
Shen Lin hurriedly said, "Song, it was just a coincidence that I ran into my second brother-in-law. Next time I encounter something like this, I will definitely think of you first."
After Director Song asked Shen Lin a few questions about his business, he asked Shen Lin why he came. Shen Lin did not hide anything and told him about his idea of ​​renting three rooms in the old warehouse of the Second Match Factory.
After hearing Shen Lin's intention, Director Song laughed and said, "Two days ago, I met the head of the security department of the Second Match Factory. He said they were also anxious to rent out the warehouse, but they just couldn't find anyone to rent it to."
"Let me keep an eye out to see if anyone wants to rent it."
"How about this, I'll give him a call and have him take you to discuss the lease contract, but as for the price, it's up to you two to negotiate."
Just as the gatekeeper said, it seemed that the Second Match Factory was really anxious to rent out the warehouse. Shen Lin, delighted, hurriedly said, "Thank you, Director Song."
