Rebirth of the Age of Wealth

Chapter 405 Curiosity

The plane is not big and there are fewer passengers. Even with dozens of seats, it is still not full. However, the presence of Li Qian and Li Rui makes Li Weidong's family particularly conspicuous.

Looking at the other passengers on the plane, Li Weidong combined the memories of two lifetimes and found no familiar person, but the stars and olive branches on the shoulders of a few people made Li Weidong dare not underestimate them.

Liu Jinhui next to her was even more nervous. She had never seen such a battle before. There were only a few people wearing ordinary clothes like them on the entire plane.

"Colonel Liu, do I have any misunderstanding about the word family?" Even the somewhat thick-skinned Li Weidong was a little embarrassed and turned to Colonel Liu across the aisle and asked.

"I have reported it to the leader, and everything will go according to your wishes!" Colonel Liu looked at the situation around him and said in a low voice.

The literal meaning of family members is understood to mean family members other than the person I think of them, but in some contexts it only refers to lovers and objects. It depends on how you understand it.

When Li Weidong said it yesterday, Colonel Liu felt something was wrong. Out of caution and respect, he did not question it on the spot, but he reported it to his leader after leaving.

The leader was stunned at that time. It seemed a bit inappropriate to bring a child on such an occasion, but this was considered a request made by Li Weidong, and it had to be taken seriously.

Seven years ago, an aircraft carrier worth more than 100 million U.S. dollars was given to the country. With so much money donated, it is natural that a request should be carefully considered and taken seriously.

And later, after expert evaluation, the value may be higher. For example, some drawings and experts were obtained by Li Weidong through special means, and the economic value cannot be measured.

After some thinking, I felt that this was a good understanding. The Xinhua Dictionary said so, who could say anything else, and the viewing platform was so big, who would care about two children.

"That's good, I'm quite embarrassed!" Li Weidong said with a smile after hearing this reply.

"Director Li is a free and easy person, why bother to stick to these details!" Colonel Liu is a member of the coordination team, and he was transferred to work here from the day the aircraft carrier arrived at the port.

I know a lot about the situation of the aircraft carrier, and I was very surprised when I found out that it was an individual donation. My first guess was some patriotic rich people from Hong Kong Island. How can mainlanders have such strength?

When the leader asked him to invite Li Weidong to his door a few days ago, he realized something was wrong. Except for a few senior leaders, everyone else was sending a military registered letter and entrusting the local troops to deliver it.

Moreover, there were very few non-military people invited, and even so, they were all heads of relevant state-owned enterprises. To invite someone who was not part of the system, and to have it be so grand, everyone knew there must be something wrong with it.

"Why was it delivered directly without any news of sea trials? There were some reports in the past few years, but I haven't seen any news about him recently. Why is it so sudden?" Li Weidong asked curiously.

"I can't explain this clearly, but since last May, the instructions from above have changed, and the progress has become faster!" Colonel Liu said to Li Weidong after considering it.

Li Weidong nodded, knowing that this matter was probably asking for confidentiality again, but changes occurred in May last year, and he was somewhat clear in his heart. This change was indeed normal.

As for why he didn't release some news from time to time like later generations, there are probably more levels to consider, but in Li Weidong's mind, the most important reason was the issue of confidence.

Without decades of development and certain economic strength, we will have no confidence in our hearts and will not be strong-willed in our speeches.

Li Weidong began to feel a push on his back. The plane was accelerating. It would be ready to take off when it accelerated to a speed of more than 200 per hour. This was also the best time to fly.

Li Weidong stopped talking to Colonel Liu next to him and held Li Rui's hand, experiencing the feeling of instant acceleration.

"Is it going fast?" Li Weidong asked his daughter who was sitting by the window.

"Hurry!" Li Rui looked out the window and said excitedly. This was not her first time flying, but she was still very excited. This is how innocent a child should be.

When Li Weidong was in college, he came to Beijing for the first time. The first time he took the elevator, he felt very strange. He took it back and forth several times, let alone the airplane.

The plane soon broke through the clouds and began to fly smoothly, with endless white clouds and bright sunshine as far as the eye could see.

"Son, look at what color are the clouds outside and what color is the sky?" After the plane stabilized, Li Weidong patted the seat in front of him and said.

"Blue sky and white clouds!" Li Qian's happy face immediately fell down, and he seemed to have remembered the winter vacation homework of the previous two days.

"Stop saying a few words!" Liu Jinhui has always adhered to the motto of "don't teach your children in front of others" and expressed dissatisfaction with Li Weidong. A very smart child can easily feel inferior in this way.

In less than an hour, the plane began to descend and landed smoothly at a small airport. Li Weidong wanted to praise the captain. There were almost no big bumps during the entire flight including landing.

Li Weidong thought about poaching him, and he had to buy a plane himself. There were more and more wealthy people, and everyone had them. He had to rely on public transportation to travel. Although it was environmentally friendly, it was inconvenient!

After getting off the plane, a military vehicle picked them up and took them to a guest house that didn't even have a name. There were no security guards outside the guest house, but there were a few soldiers on duty not far away.

"Director Li, the conditions are a bit difficult. You guys need to take a rest first and have lunch later. I'll call you again!" Colonel Liu opened several rooms with Li Weidong and his entourage and said politely.

"The conditions are so good, no matter how difficult it is, it's very good. Just go and do your work first, and we will make the arrangements ourselves!" Li Weidong was quite satisfied with the room. Such a guest house and suites are already good. They are probably prepared for leaders.

He didn't bring many bodyguards here, including Ding Yuan and Dai Mei. According to his wishes, he didn't need to bring either of them. If there were safety issues when he got here, there would be no safe place, and the bodyguards wouldn't protect him even if they came.

use.

"As long as you are satisfied, you should carry this with you. If you encounter soldiers on duty, you can show it to them if they ask!" Colonel Liu took out a few more tags from a document bag and said.

Li Weidong took a look and asked curiously, "With this, we can visit around!"

This is what Li Weidong understands. If they are not allowed to go out and give them documents for what purpose, and even have photos, this thing is probably not easy to fake.

"Yes, you are our invited guest. There is a base area of ​​more than ten miles around here. You can visit any place without special signs. If necessary, we will have someone to take you to visit!" Colonel Liu said with a smile.

These are all within their expectations. Ordinary people will be full of curiosity about this kind of jurisdiction, thinking that there will be many secrets in it, and their curiosity makes them want to take a look.

In fact, the real secrets of the base are not so easy to see. This is the living area. If whether rice or steamed buns is eaten can be considered a secret, then it is somewhat secret.

Colonel Liu told Li Weidong some precautions and left. Li Weidong asked Ding Yuan to send him off.

And he was lying on the bed, looking at the certificate in his hand, humming a little tune, and felt very comfortable. He didn't expect that he would be able to come to this place one day.

However, in the afternoon, a soldier took a tour and felt a little disappointed. He couldn't even see a warship. If he wasn't wearing a military uniform, no one would think this was a base.

There is a working lunch at noon, and the entertainment standard in the evening is a bit higher, with higher-level leaders attending, but tomorrow's ceremony is very important, and drinking is prohibited.

Although Li Weidong is not included in this list, if others drink tea or water, if you drink, you are not lowering your status. Moreover, his attitude towards wine is that it is okay to have a small drink, and it is best not to drink.

The dinner without drinking naturally ended faster. It was dark and cold outside at night, and after the afternoon visit, Li Weidong had no intention of going out. It was more appropriate to stay in the room with his children.

There is a slightly dilapidated village in Beijing. Of course, this dilapidation is relative to the village. The Fourth Ring Road under construction is not far away. This is a rural area within the Fourth Ring Road.

Can the rural areas within the Fourth Ring Road be called rural areas? This is the cornerstone of getting rich. If you want to get rich, you can demolish and relocate every household. This is the truth!

There is a family in the village. It is very lively tonight, the lights are brightly lit, and people come to visit one after another. Their most promising child, Qin Shijun, has returned from abroad.

Qin Shijun served in front of the leaders during the day and was almost transparent. Even at lunch, he did not have the honor to toast several leaders.

If it weren't for Jiang Zhili, he wouldn't have even had the chance to sit at that table. Looking at the man sitting at the main seat chatting and laughing, he never would have thought that they would meet again.

If it hadn't been for Tong Jiajia's reminder at the airport, he wouldn't have been able to remember who this person was, but at this time the memory of that day was very clear in his mind.

These two guys who were buying and selling houses had already gotten to this point, and all he could do was sigh.

Under Tong Jiajia's reminder, Liu Dachun also remembered that there was such a thing, but he had long forgotten that there was such a person. At that time, he only had Li Weidong and Tong Jiajia who wanted to take his job in his eyes, but he still took the initiative and Qin Shijun to save face.

After clinking the cups, it was fate to meet again.

"You are half a turtle. If you follow Mr. Jiang from now on, you will definitely have a bright future. Work hard!" After Liu Dachun finished drinking, he patted Qin Shijun on the shoulder.

At that moment, Qin Shijun felt moved for a while, as if he had been praised by the leader. After calming down for a while, he felt a little ironic again.

He graduated from a prestigious university in China, and he was considered a top student even if he did not study abroad. At that time, he must have looked down on Liu Dachun and Tong Jiajia. How could he have imagined that he would now be brothers with his leader and pat him on the shoulder? The key is himself

It also produces feelings of gratitude.

Has the situation really changed? Or are the changes in the country too fast and he can no longer keep up with the situation?

His family sold a house so that he could study abroad, and his parents moved back to their hometown of Zhugezhuang in a private house. This was agreed at the time. Although Qin Shijun felt that he owed his parents a little, it was a pity to give up such a good opportunity to study abroad.

Even before returning to China, he heard from his parents that the original house had been demolished and the price had increased, but he did not regret it and felt that the job he was looking for now was very good.

With his current income, he will definitely be able to buy a bigger and better house in three to five years. He is so excited about it that none of his classmates are as promising as him.

But after returning to the capital, this high-spirited mood changed. Even the liveliness of the neighbors could not dispel the depression in his heart. Although his face kept smiling, there was still a bit of loss in his eyes.

Knowing his son better than his father, Mr. Qin sent away many of his neighbors and distributed some of the rare gifts that Qin Shijun brought from the United States. When he came back, he handed his son a cigarette, lit one and smoked one himself.

Don't even say it.

After Qin Shijun lit it, he took a puff and told the story of his return to the capital. The old man said, "Thank you for studying for so many years. You don't understand why people are so infuriating!"

"In the first few years, I sometimes regretted it. After the house was sold, the price increased and kept rising. Your Uncle Li and others sometimes laughed at me and said that I lost money on the sale of the house!"

"At that time, I had to drink two taels a day to fall asleep. Later I figured out that even if the house didn't sell, what could I do? It might not be as good as it is now!"

Qin Shijun lowered his head and smoked. He didn't believe what his father said and didn't refute it. He just continued to listen.

"At that time, some people received the demolition money but did not buy a house because they felt that the price of the house could not rise. Seeing that their business was very profitable, they started doing business with them. After a few years, not only did they spend all the demolition money, but they also owed a lot of debt.

!”

"Look at me, I don't have such worries. I walk around and chat every day, and don't worry about anything. Now whoever is saying that I lost money on the sale of my house, I just laugh and let them go!"

"And compared to your classmates, you are pretty good. You have found such a good job. I heard you said that this year's bonus will be 20,000 US dollars. Who can compare?"

Qin Shijun nodded, still agreeing with this, and also understood that he was overstepping the mark.

"If you ask me, you are not good at all. I feel ashamed even if people ask you questions!" Old Qin took the last puff of his cigarette and pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray.

"What's the matter?" Qin Shijun looked up at his father and asked.

"You are already thirty, you have a good job, and your income is not low, so you don't sleep well. Are you a foreigner?" Old Qin asked uncomfortably.

When I asked my son if he had a partner, it was not as natural as my mother's question, so I had to go through some twists and turns, but Qin's mother was preoccupied with her son and hadn't even started to bring up the topic yet.

After his son graduated and wanted to work abroad, he was worried that his son would find him a foreign wife and give him a whole mixed-race grandson. Now that he has been working for so many years, not to mention the grandson, there is no trace of his wife. Now his requirements have been lowered.

.

"Dad, I just became Mr. Jiang's secretary. I'm quite busy with work. I don't have time to think about these things. Let's wait until the job becomes stable!" Qin Shijun also put out his cigarette and said quickly.

"As long as you know what's going on, I'll go to the United States to take care of your children and see what it's like abroad. Wouldn't you rather come back?" Qin Shijun's mother interrupted at this time.

"Fuck you, you can understand everything they say in English, but you can't even learn ABC!" When Father Qin said this, he was already convinced that his son would not be able to find a Chinese wife.

"That's why I'm going. When my grandson can no longer speak Chinese, will he still be considered Chinese?" Mrs. Qin is also a strong advocate.

Seeing that his parents were about to quarrel, Qin Shijun stopped being depressed and quickly stopped him, saying, "Mom and Dad, it's already twelve o'clock. Get some rest. I have to accompany the leader to watch the flag raising tomorrow morning!"

"Then I have to accompany him well. Isn't your leader from Hong Kong? He is quite patriotic and a man!" Mr. Qin is an authentic Beijing native and has a high opinion of Jiang Zhili.

For Jiang Zhili, this is not only a manifestation of patriotism, but also partly influenced by Li Weidong.

The first time he came to the mainland, Li Weidong asked him to see the great rivers and mountains of the motherland. Moreover, Li Weidong was quite demanding in this regard and talked about this issue more than once.

So when I come to Beijing, I must participate in the flag raising!

The next day was Monday. Such flag-raising ceremonies were held not only in the capital, but also across the country. Of course, Li Weidong, who was at a base in Ludag, also participated.

Not only did he participate, there were also many people participating at the same time, each with a higher status than the last!
