Rebirth of the 1980s: The Military Industry Empire

Night fell, enveloping the 960 Factory Family Compound.

“Xiao Qin, the living conditions at your factory are truly wonderful.” Looking at the spaciousness of Qin Yang's home, the woman said with great envy, “In our capital, many workers still live in old courtyard houses, a dozen households crammed together, it's so stifling.”

Commercial housing hasn't officially started yet, it's still the era of welfare housing allocation. Getting a house isn't easy, especially in the capital, where countless people are squeezing in, but the number of houses is limited.

She turned her head away, not daring to look a second time.

“That depends on the location. Our factory is in the suburbs, how can it compare to the city center of the capital?” Qin Yang said, “Moreover, when our 960 Factory relocated, it had to solve the living problems of the employees. The workers work hard, so our factory leaders have to solve their worries. Our infrastructure construction has never stopped, we've always been building. It's a pity about Xiao Hai, if he could have stayed in the factory and contributed to a certain extent, he could have been allocated a house like this.”

Speaking of Wang Hai, the woman's face turned ugly, but quickly recovered: “Xiao Qin, I'm here this time to fulfill our agreement. I've brought the 100,000 yuan you wanted.”

As she spoke, the woman squatted down to open the large suitcase she had brought.

“Wait, let's be clear, this 100,000 yuan isn't what I wanted, it's what you're giving me.” Qin Yang immediately corrected her.

The woman was stunned: “Xiao Qin, why do you have to be so precise? This 100,000 yuan is for your medical expenses, after all, Xiao Hai impulsively hit you. With this 100,000 yuan, our past unpleasantness is wiped clean. In the future, we'll be harmonious, after all, we're both in the capital, and we'll see each other sooner or later.”

Qin Yang nodded: “This is your initiative to give me medical expenses, not me asking you for them.”

The woman didn't speak.

“If you don't admit that, then forget it, take the money back.”

“That's right, it's our initiative to give you the medical expenses.” The woman had no choice but to follow Qin Yang's words. At this moment, with a creak, the suitcase was opened, revealing stacks of neatly arranged 'Big Unity' banknotes.

Leaving aside the banknotes issued when the People's Republic of China was first established, the largest denomination of Renminbi now is the ten-yuan 'Big Unity' note. One hundred thousand yuan would be one hundred stacks, and this large suitcase was packed full.

Although there was a 1980 edition of the hundred-yuan note in history, with the year '1980' clearly printed on it, this hundred-yuan note was issued in May 1988. In the early 1980s, one cent could buy a lot of things, so ten yuan as the largest denomination was enough.

“Here, you count it.” The woman said, picking up a stack and handing it to Qin Yang.

“No need, would I not trust you? Besides, I, Qin Yang, have seen a lot of money. Millions are just fleeting clouds. Just leave this box here with me, how about it?”

“Okay.” The woman closed the suitcase and stood up: “Then I won't disturb you anymore.”

“I'll see you out.”

The woman left the family compound and walked a long way before getting into a car parked by the roadside.

“Delivered it?”

“Yes, Big Brother, it's been delivered.”

“Good, then I'll make the report call now.” Leader Wang said to the driver, “Drive immediately, find a public phone booth ahead!”

Qin Yang wants to take this 100,000 yuan? Not so easy!

The newspaper has been finalized and will be printed tonight. Tomorrow it will appear in the hands of many people. Qin Yang's grandstanding words in the newspaper will make many people dissatisfied, and then they will hear about Qin Yang accepting bribes. This series of operations is enough to send Qin Yang to hell!

Letting the woman go up to deliver the money was to paralyze the other party, and also to avoid Leader Wang himself appearing.

He had never suffered a loss before, and suffering such a big loss at Qin Yang's hands, how could he be willing? He originally thought about settling the old scores later, but thinking that the opportunity was hard-won, he couldn't swallow this breath, so he simply took action.

Even if the old man behind Qin Yang was angry, it would have nothing to do with him. Qin Yang is such a big official, and so young, there are countless people staring at him behind his back!

Suspect himself? How could he do such a thing? He's wronged.

On the other side, Qin Yang also returned to the room and tore down the calendar.

Behind the calendar was the window of the bedroom door, and there was no glass in the window, revealing the lens of a camera. At this time, Zhang Chao was still fiddling with it.

“How is it, Chaozi, did you record it?”

“I think I recorded it, or, should we play it back and see?”

In this era, there were no pinhole cameras, and no handheld camcorders, only this kind of shoulder-mounted super large camera, and it also had to be connected to an external power source. It was very cumbersome to operate, and this was the only place in the whole room suitable for placement, but it had to be concealed, so Qin Yang simply hung a calendar outside.

As he thought, the calendar of sexy beauties far exceeded the psychological endurance of people in this era. The woman was too embarrassed to look at it after just one glance, so she didn't notice that the motorcycle headlight cardboard in the background of the calendar could be moved, which could just reveal the camera lens inside.

“Well, put it on the TV and see, if there's no problem, send it over together with this box of money.” Qin Yang said.

Zhang Chao nodded and connected the camera's signal cable to the TV, turning on the TV.

Just as they were talking, the phone on the coffee table between the two sofas rang. Qin Yang picked it up, and Nie Xiaoqian's anxious voice came from inside: “Brother Yang, someone called to report that you accepted a bribe of 100,000 yuan!”

After coming out of the Second Factory, Qin Yang went home to make arrangements. It was agreed that it would be delivered in three days, but who would have thought that it would be delivered on the first night. Qin Yang had only just finished the arrangements. Nie Xiaoqian went home to tell her family about Qin Yang's situation, but unexpectedly, she received such news.

That calendar was very expensive that year.
