Looking at the time displayed on the phone screen, 7:02.
Wang Lidong secretly screamed, "Oh no!"
I actually overslept.
We agreed yesterday that we would go to see the flag-raising ceremony early this morning.
I specifically checked the time for raising the flag today, and it was 7:35.
Even if we take a taxi, it will take about twenty-five minutes with a smooth journey.
Shaking Shen Bing beside him:
"Girl, wake up."
Shen Bing looked at Wang Lidong sleepily:
"Stone..."
"Get up, it's 7:05, I forgot what we were going to do this morning. If it's later, it'll be too late."
...
Eight minutes later, the two hurried out of the house.
Fortunately, it was a weekend. When I walked to the gate of the community, I hailed a taxi within a minute.
"Master, Chang'an Street."
It was early on the weekend, so the road conditions were good, but we were still stuck in traffic for a few minutes at the North Second Ring Road.
When the car arrived, the two got out of the car and saw a bright red flag flying on the top of the flagpole.
Seeing that Shen Bing was a little disappointed, Wang Lidong comforted him:
"I will set three alarm clocks tonight, and I will definitely not be late tomorrow."
Shen Bing glanced at the red flag, thought of the taxi fare, shook his head and said:
"Shitou, forget it tomorrow and come back when the weather gets warmer."
"Okay, just in April or May. Let's go and have breakfast."

Lin Xia’s parents’ home
"Ding-a-ling-a-ling, jingle-a-ling-a-ling..."
Lin Xia, who was sleeping soundly, was woken up by the ringing of her mobile phone.
After rolling up the quilt and retracting my head into the quilt, my voice finally became much quieter.
But after two or three minutes, the phone was still calling.
Lin Xia reluctantly reached out and grabbed the mobile phone on the bedside table.
Son of a bitch!
But the moment I saw the caller ID, I immediately pressed the answer button:
"Madman, did you miss me when you called me so early?"
"Accompanying Shen Bing? I have a little boy..."
"No matter how busy Xiao Meng is, he will definitely take time off today... Madman, really?! You didn't lie to me this time, did you?"
"Then it's settled, if you lie to me again, I'll go to the top floor of the China World Trade Center..."
.....................................
Xintong chain mobile phone store
"Girl, tell me which phone you like."
Wang Lidong brought his girlfriend to the NOKIA brand counter. At this time, it was still the king, but it was already half buried.
As for apples, he has more than two thousand dollars in his pocket, so he might as well save them.
Shen Bing looked around and pointed at early two hundred 1600:
"Stone, this is the one."
He glanced at his girlfriend and reminded:
"This mobile phone can only make calls and send messages."
“Aren’t you just buying a mobile phone for these two functions?”
Thinking about the current network, it is still under construction, so no matter how expensive the mobile phone is and no matter how many functions it has, most of them are not practical.
I went to the store clerk to get a new phone and checked it out. If there was no problem, I issued an invoice, picked a mobile phone number, and paid.
After inserting the card, Wang Lidong entered his mobile phone number and pressed the dial button.
When his phone rang, he hung up and gave the new phone to Shen Bing.
"Girl, I saved my number in the phone book, so you can find me immediately if you need anything in the future."
Shen Bing happily took the phone and started studying it.
Wang Lidong took his girlfriend and walked next door:
"Go to KFC, sit down and study it slowly."
...
"Stone, Stone, what's this news? I don't need to reply, right?"
See the text message on the screen:
'......Send "5558 to get the "Xuanling New Song List"; send "5558 to get the "Xuanling Popularity List"; send any "song name" or "singer name" to get the ringtone content; send "BZ
....'
"They are all spam messages. Delete them when you see them..."
Suddenly, with a sudden jolt, Wang Lidong slapped his thigh. Colorful bell, how could he have forgotten it?
These days, as long as there is a mobile phone, no one has customized it. Cheng Feng will change it every now and then.
Of course he has never bought one, he is poor!
I remember there was a report in my previous life that the singer who sang "Rat Loves Rice" earned more than 100 million by relying on ringtones.
It was relatively prosperous in the past two years, but after smartphones became popular, the business slowly went downhill.
But even in 2022, the ring tones business is still surviving tenaciously.
Shen Bing on the side said with concern:
"Shitou, are you okay?"
"It's okay, I just thought of a good idea to make money. Girl, you are really my lucky star."
As he spoke, he put his arms around his girlfriend and gave her a reward.
...
"Buzz buzz, buzz buzz."
He let go of Shen Bing, took out his cell phone, and looked at the caller ID - Lin Xia.
What's strange is that when I called him early in the morning, he was not Cheng Feng.
Press to connect:
"Lin Xia."
"No need, you were very drunk yesterday. Take a good rest at home."
"I will take these two days off and will not work overtime."
"Okay, let's go to the KFC in front of the venue."
Seeing her boyfriend hang up the phone with an unhappy face, Shen Bing said:
"What did Lin Xia say to make you so angry?"
Wang Lidong put the phone back into his pocket:
"I think Lin Xia took the wrong medicine. She shamelessly wanted to come over to accompany you. How could she repay the favor last night... I didn't agree, so I just said we were breaking up with you."
"What kind of favor?"
"She was drunk last night. We were waiting for her parents in the lobby, and you gave her some water."
Shen Bing's little face twitched, this reason is so strong:
"Come on, come on, it won't affect either of us. By the way, what was your profitable business just now?"
Wang Lidong leaned into his girlfriend's ear and whispered about the colorful ringtone.
"It costs 2 to 3 yuan a piece. Will anyone really buy it if it's so expensive?"
"Silly girl, this is the capital..."
...........
"Haha~~Shen Bing, Shitou, I must have come quickly enough..."
Lin Xia suddenly jumped in front of the two of them and made a gesture of self-endearment.
Shen Bing smiled and said:
"Lin Xia, I'm going to trouble you today."
Lin Xia waved her hands grandly:
"I just have to remember that you fed me two mouthfuls of water when I was thirstiest, and he..."
As he spoke, he pointed his finger at Wang Lidong and said:
"It's a good thing that I treat you as a good buddy. You were standing next to Shen Bing at that time and didn't want to help. You kept saying bad things about me.
I, Lin Xia, have clear grievances. A drop of water's kindness will be repaid by a spring. A broken tooth's revenge will be repaid with a head. Shitou, aren't you busy working overtime all day? Go and do your work, leave Shen Bing to me."
Wang Lidong smiled.
Lin Xia pulled Shen Bing up and said:
"Let's go, the first stop is Jinshui Bridge."
As he spoke, he patted the SLR hanging around his neck and said:
"I knew that Stone would definitely not bring this thing with him when he came out. I will take two more photos for you today and send them back to my hometown."
...
Sunday, 6pm, Sichuan Xiang Hotpot City
Shen Bing raised the beer in his hand and said to Lin Xia:
"Thank you, Lin Xia, you have worked really hard these two days."
Lin Xia held up the orange water and touched one:
"We are all good sisters, and they are still polite to me."
"It's too late today. Make an appointment another day and come to my house. I'll cook local food for you."
"Then next Saturday, how about we make an appointment with Crazy Wu Di and the others?"
Shen Bing glanced at Wang Lidong, and seeing that he had no objection, he nodded and said:
"Okay, then let's book it for next Saturday. After I get back, I'll ask Shitou to ask Lao Wu and the others for their opinions."
"If you are crazy, let me make an appointment. He will be fine. By the way, Shen Bing, will you be okay tomorrow?"
"fine."
"Then tomorrow morning, I will take you somewhere."
"Where?"
Lin Xia pretended to be mysterious and said:
"Don't tell me yet, you will know when we get there."
Wang Lidong said:
"Lin Xia, you won't go to work tomorrow?"
"I'll take annual leave tomorrow."
Wang Lidong said:
"You'd better tell me clearly where you're going first, otherwise I won't dare let you take Shen Bing out alone."
Lin Xia glared at Wang Lidong:
"Shitou, what do you mean? Are you afraid that I will sell your girl?"
Wang Lidong said:
"You are not very reliable in what you do. I'm afraid you will take the girl to some inexplicable places! For example, the crazy mother's cemetery!"
While talking, Wang Lidong kept looking into Lin Xia's eyes.
Lin Xia was a little panicked by him:
"...I'm just going to a woman's place. You're a big man, why do you ask so clearly?"
Wang Lidong said with a cold face:
"Lin Xia, you like to be a virtuous daughter-in-law sent to someone else's house. No one will stop you, but don't drag my girl over."
Lin Xia said angrily:
"Shitou, who did you say came to your door..."
"Haha, who doesn't know this?"
Lin Xia said angrily:
"Shitou, don't you know the hearts of good people? Let me tell you, I am here to help you."
Wang Lidong sneered:
"Then do I have to stand up and bow to you three times at 90 degrees..."
Seeing that the two of them were arguing, Shen Bing hurriedly tried to smooth things over and said:
"Lin Xia, I'm quite tired from running these past two days. I want to have a good rest at home tomorrow.
When we have more time in the future, we will make an appointment."
Then he quietly pulled Wang Lidong’s corner:
"Shitou, your loach will be in trouble if you don't eat it."
Seeing his girlfriend's pleading eyes, Wang Lidong snorted, picked up the loach and ate it.
Lin Xia, who was angry at Wang Lidong's rebuke, picked up a large handful of bean sprouts, stuffed them into the pot, took them out within a few seconds, and started chewing them.
...
"Shen Bing, what do you always do at home?"
"Kindergarten teacher."
Lin Xia was surprised and said:
"Then you are willing to lose your job and come to the capital."
Shen Bing looked at Wang Lidong with a smile:
"It was supposed to come a long time ago, but it has been delayed for several years."
Lin Xia said to Wang Lidong:
"Shitou, Shen Bing lost such a good job and left his hometown because of you. You can't be sorry..."
Wang Lidong waved his hand and interrupted:
"Mind your own business first. You don't need to get involved in the affairs between me and the girl."
Lin Xia's eyes widened and she wanted to hit someone.
Shen Bing picked up a spoonful of beef lobster and put it into Lin Xia's bowl.
"Lin Xia, the beef louvers here are particularly crispy."
Lin Xia glared at Wang Lidong:
"Hmph! You will regret it."
............................
On Monday, at half past eight, Wang Lidong walked through the door of Hu's Advertising Company on time.
I walked to my workstation and pressed the computer start button.
Taking the tea cup, I went to the tea room and washed the cup.
When I returned to the office, I took out the black tea that my girl brought from my hometown, took a small amount and put it into the teacup. Then I went to the water dispenser and drank more than half a cup of boiling water.
Blow off some foam and take a sip.
Beautiful.
Sitting on the work chair, I thought about the few eucalyptus bills I had on hand. The most valuable one was the West American order. The amount was not large, only a few hundred thousand.
Colleagues around him were a little surprised when they saw Wang Lidong's leisurely demeanor.
Usually this guy would be in a hurry as soon as he arrived at the office. He was so busy that he was the hardest working person in the entire company.
"Shi Xiaomeng, Mr. Hu is looking for you."
"oh."
Wang Lidong stood up slowly, walked to the door of the general manager's office, knocked twice and pushed the door open.
