The car was speeding on the highway to Tianyun City, the provincial capital. The driver was Xi Dongyang, and Comrade Xu was sitting in the back seat, closing his eyes and relaxing.
Secretary Tang Qing was sitting in the passenger seat.
The air conditioner is on in the car, which is very comfortable.
There is also music on, soothing ethnic pure music, which has the effect of a lullaby.
Tongdao Xu sat back in his seat with his eyes closed, a little drowsy, until the sudden ringing of his cell phone instantly dispelled his drowsiness.
He frowned and opened his eyes, took out his cell phone and looked at the caller ID. It was his cousin Ge Lianghua.
"Hello? Cousin?"
The call is connected.
Ge Lianghua: "Xiaodao, where have you been? Have you entered the city?"
Comrade Xu said: "No! It's still on the highway."
Ge Lianghua: "Oh, okay! By the way, your eldest cousin is pregnant, have you heard? Hehe, I just heard your eldest cousin call me to tell me. He was very excited on the phone. He should have already
Did I call to share with you first?”
Xu Tongdao: "..."
After being silent for a few seconds, Xu Tong said: "No! You were the first to tell me the news."
Ge Lianghua: "Ah? He actually told me first? Didn't he tell you first? This... ha, this is unscientific!"
Tongdao Xu smiled lightly and said, "It's nothing unscientific. Maybe it's because you have children and he feels that there is a common topic to share with you."
Ge Lianghua: "Yes! Okay, how about this for now? When you arrive, we can talk after we meet?"
Xu Tongdao: "Well, good!"
…
After the call ended, Comrade Xu, whose sleepiness had been driven away, didn't want to take a nap anymore. He put down his cell phone and squinted at the scenery passing by outside the car window.
For a while, my mood was a little affected.
Big cousin... Wu Changxing and Chang Min have been married for half a year and are pregnant with a child...
He couldn't help but think of his cousins Ge Lianghua and Ge Liangcai.
Not long after they got married, news came that his wife was pregnant.
It felt like their marriage was like buying a ticket to have a baby, and they got pregnant easily.
Eating and drinking is generally easy.
Where is Comrade Xu?
In my previous life, I had been married for several years, but my wife's belly had been silent.
I don’t know if this life will be different...
He is 20 years old this year.
Should I get married early?
This thought couldn't help but flash through his mind.
Logically speaking, he is only 20 years old and shouldn't think about getting married so early, but... if he gets married earlier, the probability of having children is definitely higher than if he gets married later, he knows this.
only……
This thought flashed through his mind, and he temporarily put it behind him. 20 years old was still too young, and the marriage law did not allow it.
…
The car drove into Tianyun City.
This is not the first time he has come to Tianyun City in the past two months.
As his Ximendao Internet Cafe entered Tianyun City and opened branches one after another, he would come to Tianyun City once or twice almost every month.
Compared to Mizutori City.
As the provincial capital, Tianyun City is better than Shuiniao City in all aspects.
Urban construction, economic development, cultural atmosphere, etc. are all better than Mizutori City.
After visiting Tianyun City several times, the biggest impression this city left on him was the people here...the sense of superiority deep in their bones, especially the locals. That sense of superiority was far superior to that of the residents of Shuiniao City.
This is probably the innate sense of superiority and pride of provincial capital residents?
The sense of superiority inherent in the local people made Xu Tongdao feel that he might not be able to truly integrate into this city in his life.
This is different from Mizutori City.
His hometown is under the jurisdiction of Mizutori City, so he has felt a sense of belonging to Mizutori City since he was a child.
Before he went to Mizutori City to develop, he didn't feel like he didn't belong in this city.
But this year he came to Tianyun City several times, but he always felt that he was... a passerby in this provincial capital city.
Although the provincial capital is good, it is not my hometown.
Even the accent of speaking is different.
But he still likes this city, why?
Because here he can see more business opportunities and opportunities to make more money.
For example, catering.
The inherent sense of superiority of the locals in Tianyun City has shaped the fact that the locals here are generally more face-conscious. This is clearly reflected when the locals in Tianyun City entertain guests.
He has come to Tianyun City so many times, and every time he goes to a restaurant to eat.
Sometimes it's a serious Chinese restaurant, sometimes it's a hot pot restaurant.
But every time, with his careful attention, he could notice that the diners with local accents in Tianyun City were very willing to spend money when entertaining relatives and friends.
This is not an isolated phenomenon.
This is a common phenomenon observed by Tongdao Xu.
He liked this characteristic of the natives of Tianyun City very much.
He has decided to open a branch of his Ximen Yipin Hot Pot Restaurant in Tianyun City next time and wholeheartedly provide services to the residents of Tianyun City.
In fact, in terms of Internet cafes, the young people in Tianyun City also take good care of his Internet cafe business, Comrade Xu.
As a provincial capital, young people here are generally at the forefront of the times and are very welcoming to emerging Internet cafes.
certainly.
If there is demand, there will be a market, and if there is a market, there will be people who will do it.
His Ximendao Internet Cafe has been in the provincial capital for more than two months and has deliberately slowed down its expansion. So far, it has only opened 5 branches in the provincial capital. In fact, it is not just because he is cautious.
Another important reason is that there are already many Internet cafes in provincial cities.
The market here is huge.
Likewise, there are many powerful businessmen here.
There are also many businessmen with vision and courage.
According to the investigation results of Ge Lianghua and others' previous visit to the provincial capital, there is already more than one Internet cafe near major universities in the provincial capital.
This is not a blank market.
When his Ximendao Internet Cafe came to Tianyun City, it had to compete with its peers.
We must grab meat from Internet cafes that already have a stable customer base.
Fortunately...the competition is not very fierce.
It’s not that the opponents are not strong, it’s mainly because there are too many young people who have a strong desire to go online.
The car drove to a side street next to Tianyun Normal University and stopped. On the side of the road was the sixth Ximendao Internet Cafe in Tianyun City, which was under renovation.
The car door opened, and after Comrade Xu got out of the car, he subconsciously raised the leather bag in his right hand to cover his forehead. The sun was so bright today, and the hot sunlight shone directly on his eyes, creating a double image.
Tang Qing, who then got off the car, quickly took out the parasol in his bag and hurried over to protect Xu Tongdao from the sun, but Xu Tongdao waved his hand to refuse.
He walked quickly to the Ximen Road Internet Cafe on the side of the road, maybe because his steps were too hurried, or maybe because he held up the sunshade with his right hand and couldn't see the pedestrians coming from the right.
As soon as he stepped onto the sidewalk, he bumped into someone walking from the right.
"oops……"
A young girl's exclamation rang out, and Xu Tongdao was staggered by the impact. He was caught off guard and was completely unprepared.
Fortunately, his lower body was quite stable and he held his ground without falling.
But the girl who bumped into him on his right fell to the ground.
Xu Tongdao hurriedly turned his head and saw the bottom of her skirt with her thighs parted...
