After sending Fang Fei downstairs, Fang Fei was still reluctant to get out of the car. She looked at Liu Ziguang with eyes that seemed to be dripping with honey: "Well... do you want to go up and have a cup of tea?"
Although it is a question, it is actually an imperative. Liu Ziguang happily agreed, holding up a big black umbrella and getting out of the car door first to protect Fang Fei. The little nurse came down and pressed against him tightly, her teeth chattering: "I'm cold."
Liu Ziguang hugged Fang Fei and the two of them nestled in the open space in front of the building. The drizzle was floating around. Only the small space under the umbrella was warm and safe. Residents were upstairs, and the lights were dotted. The dark and shiny Dahongqi car was parked quietly.
The atmosphere on the side is warm and romantic.
Fang Fei raised her head and looked at Liu Ziguang, slowly closing his eyes. His petal-like lips were slightly open, revealing a row of white teeth. His small body was trembling slightly, as if he was ready to take whatever he wanted. Liu Ziguang couldn't help but was about to stick his mouth out in front of a car that suddenly had a red flag.
When the window was lowered, Xuanzi, a blind guy, said in a stiff and rigid voice: "There is an urgent call to Diaoyutai."
Liu Ziguang is so angry. Xuanzi is very interesting. He has numbered all the places Liu Ziguang often goes to. His home is Zhongnanhai Company, the State Council, Fang Fei's home, Huaqing Pond in Beidaihe, and Diaoyutai State Guesthouse. Is there something going on so late? Could it be that someone is causing trouble? Zhuo Li can't control the situation.
?
When Liu Ziguang went to answer the phone, Fang Fei also opened her eyes and looked upstairs and said, "Oh, I forgot that Dad went back to China today and the light in his study is on. Okay, you go and do your work. I'll go up first." After that,
He ran through the unit door in a hurry.
…
The call was from Manager Li, who solemnly invited Liu Ziguang to talk about the matter. He didn't say what he wanted to talk about on the phone, so Liu Ziguang had to drive to Huaqing Pool.
The open space in front of Huaqing Pool was already full of mid- to low-end cars. Although it rained today, there were still many cars entering and exiting the parking lot. The number of administrators in the parking lot increased from one to three, but it was still not enough. Seeing this big red flag driving over scared the administrator.
After a big red flag, he stopped straight at the door. Xuanzi jumped down and helped Liu Ziguang open the car door. The attendant and the greeter at the door also shouted respectfully: "Brother Liu is here."
When Liu Ziguang entered the lobby, he saw a group of people sitting on the sofa smoking and chatting. They all seemed to be customers.
"Hello, Brother Liu!" The receptionist at the front desk greeted Liu Ziguang respectfully and brought him a pair of slippers.
Suddenly someone from behind shouted: "Hey! Didn't you just say that there are no lockers? Why are you letting people in?"
Liu Ziguang turned around and saw that he was a drunk customer. He was dressed as a township entrepreneur and was accompanied by four or five similarly dressed locals.
"Sorry sir, this is our boss." The receptionist explained.
"Oh, I know, I'm sorry, sisters." The township entrepreneur held up his hands and stopped talking.
"Business is so good?" Liu Ziguang asked while changing his slippers.
"Yes, Brother Liu, it's packed every day."
Liu Ziguang nodded and vaguely guessed the reason why Manager Li called him here.
When he got to the private room on the fourth floor, Manager Li and Zhuo Li were already waiting for him. When they saw Liu Ziguang, they came up and hurriedly greeted him, served tea and fruit trays, handed over cigarettes. After a while of busy work, Manager Li kicked the waiter out and said to Liu Ziguang: "Brother, I came to you to discuss something."
Liu Ziguang said: "Is it because the business is booming and the scale cannot keep up and you want to expand?"
Manager Li slapped his thigh: "Oh, brother, you are too good for me. Business is booming these days. The hardware in the bathhouse cannot keep up with the bathhouse. The bathhouse is too small and there are not enough nozzles. The speakers in the hall and the sofa chairs should be replaced and decorated."
The most important thing in upgrading the hotel is not having enough private rooms, which directly affects the income."
Liu Ziguang said: "Then it's useless for you to tell me. How can I help?"
Manager Li said: "Brother, please stop teasing me. You have the greatest influence in this area. If I don't look for you, who else can I look for? There are several hardware stores around Huaqingchi that are no longer in business. I have talked with them and they all agreed that the key to exit is the factory."
This facade is owned by Chenguang Machinery Factory. I want to take over the adjacent buildings and invest in large-scale renovation to build Huaqing Pool into a high-end club with one-stop accommodation, dining and bathing..."
Liu Ziguang interrupted him and said, "Wait a minute, tell me what you want me to do first."
Manager Li smiled and said: "Then I am not willing to do it, so I want to ask you, brother, to become a shareholder. We brothers can work together to make a profit. I don't believe we can't do it brilliantly!"
Liu Ziguang was smoking silently, and the green smoke was curling up. Manager Li's eyes full of expectation were staring directly at Liu Ziguang's side. Zhuo Li also watched eagerly as his old classmate's throat twitched, probably because he was swallowing saliva.
Liu Ziguang put out his cigarette butt and said, "I don't really want to get involved in this business."
"Why don't you know, Guangzi, that you can earn tens of thousands in one day? You'll definitely get paid for this!" Zhuo Li jumped up and shouted, his face turning red in worry.
Liu Ziguang smiled: "Zhuoli, don't worry, Old Li, don't look at me like that. Just because I don't participate doesn't mean I won't help. If you need anything, just call me. That's it. I'll leave first."
After saying this, Liu Ziguang got up and went downstairs. Manager Li and Zhuo Li stayed with him. Zhuo Li was still chattering to his old classmates in the hope that he would change his mind. But Manager Li had already understood what Liu Ziguang meant and kept silent.
After sending Liu Ziguang away, the two returned to the private room. Zhuo Li said impatiently: "Oh, this Liu Ziguang really doesn't know why he thinks he doesn't do such a profitable business. Isn't this just pushing the gold out?"
Manager Li smiled lightly: "Ali, you don't understand your old classmate. He is a man with lofty ambitions and doesn't want to delay his future by getting involved in our bathhouse."
"The future? Guangzi has already done so well. What kind of future does he want?" Zhuo Li asked ignorantly.
"So you are still young. Your old classmate's ambition is not to be in the underworld. His ideal is something that we people will never be able to achieve." Manager Li lit a cigarette and narrowed his eyes as if he was immersed in some kind of longing.
Manager Li is from the south, so he likes to call Zhuo Li Ali. He once rebelled and was sentenced to life imprisonment. Later, his sentence was commuted to twenty years and six consecutive commutations. In the end, he spent ten years in jail and came out. In his words, he spent ten years in a university prison. It is indeed a prison.
Lao Li learned a lot about the complicated society in college, and his understanding of life is naturally more profound than Zhuo Li's.
Zhuo Li nodded in understanding and said, "Then what should we do? Brother Li, I listen to you."
Lao Li said: "If he doesn't take a stake, we still have to work in the factory. You can spend whatever money you have to run it. Make sure you spend the funds for their expansion and renovation. I will find a way."
"Okay, let's do it!" Zhuo Li became excited again. Now he is already the second shopkeeper of Huaqing Pool. He can participate in decision-making on both big and small matters. His monthly income is no less than 10,000 yuan. All the boys in the security department in the factory are following him.
In addition, the big tree Liu Ziguang is now also a well-known brother in the Gaotupo area.
…
The next Monday, it rained steadily for ** and finally stopped. In the afternoon, Liu Ziguang suddenly received a call from Fang Fei, saying that the doctors and nurses who signed up for the African project today were going to the provincial capital to take exams and asked him to come to the train station to see him off.
The train left in two hours. Liu Ziguang quickly took a taxi and headed there. He didn't dare to use Xuanzi's big red flag in broad daylight. It was too eye-catching and he didn't have a license plate. Traffic police gathered in the bustling area of the train station and it didn't look good. Although he could find someone to get it back, it was still troublesome after all.
.
When I arrived at the train station, I saw a big banner that read, "I wish my colleagues in the African project support good luck in their exams." Well, there it was. When I walked over, I saw a huge crowd of people in white clothes. They were all elite soldiers recruited from hospitals in Jiangbei City and several nearby counties and districts.
The project is jointly conducted by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Health and is of great political significance. Therefore, city leaders and health system officials attach great importance to foreign aid project subsidies. Many salary subsidies are settled in US dollars. Calculated, they are several times higher than the domestic salary, which is more important.
As you gain more qualifications, you will be promoted, so doctors and nurses at the grassroots level are very enthusiastic about signing up.
Liu Ziguang was still standing there looking around. Suddenly, a pair of warm little hands covered his eyes from behind and said with a smile: "Guess who I am?"
Liu Ziguang turned around and gave him a fierce hug. Just as he was about to pounce, he suddenly saw a kind old man standing behind Fang Fei in a suit and gold-rimmed glasses. He was the future father-in-law, Vice President Fang.
Liu Ziguang retracted his open arms and smiled awkwardly. Seeing his appearance, Fang Fei smiled proudly and introduced, "Dad, this is Xiao Liu. Liu Ziguang is my dad."
Dean Fang extended his hand enthusiastically: "We are sorting out Xiao Liu whom we have met."
Liu Ziguang shook hands with Dean Fang: "Hello, uncle, I am Liu Ziguang."
Dean Fang's hands are thin and tender but very strong. They are the kind of hands that hold scalpels for a long time. He holds Liu Ziguang's hand and looks up and down. His daughter's boyfriend is as tall as a green pine, his clothes are simple and his eyes are bright and clear. The feeling comes from his hands.
It is even more powerful and steady.
The young man is not bad, Dean Fang thought to himself.
"Where does Xiao Liu work? Who else is at home?" the old man asked with a smile. This was equivalent to a formal conversation.
Liu Ziguang introduced calmly, neither humble nor overbearing: "I work as a deputy manager in the Phase I Branch of Zhicheng Property Management and I also have a small business on my spare time. My parents are both laid-off workers and live in Gaotupo."
"Not bad, not bad." Dean Fang smiled and said these basic information. He had heard his daughter say that he was not a person with a strong sense of family status. He was also very satisfied with Liu Ziguang's conversation. Although the young man was older, he definitely seemed to be a stable and considerate person.
He is a good man and will definitely achieve great success in his career. Dean Fang also worked his way up from the grassroots level and has been to many countries in Europe and the United States for inspections. It can be said that he is well-informed and has a good eye for it.
"Let me meet your elders when Fang Fei comes back." Dean Fang said this with a smile, which was equivalent to agreeing to the two people's affairs. Fang Fei blushed behind and said nothing.
…
The train finally left. The train station was still as noisy and lively as usual. Liu Ziguang declined Dean Fang's offer of giving him a ride and took the bus home.
Going back from the train station, you need to transfer to two buses and get off the first bus. While waiting at the platform, a red Volvo suddenly stopped in front of Liu Ziguang.
The car window was lowered to reveal Li Wan's pretty face wearing sunglasses.
