Chapter 1031: There's a Girl in the Village

Zhou Andong took the pager and glanced at the phone number below. Although Wu Chao said it was an urgent matter, he didn't take it to heart.

As long as it wasn't the group leaders or his family calling this pager, it wasn't a big deal to him.

The two walked unhurriedly to the phone booth, where there was a young man with a big perm, wearing a denim outfit, and swinging his sunglasses back and forth in his hand.

"Meimei, how did I perform yesterday? Did your father have a good impression of me... That's right, the first time meeting the father-in-law and mother-in-law, if I don't bring enough things, it's your face that's lost...

Yes, yes, yes, your uncle-in-law is really troublesome, like an old woman. Let me tell you, you have to speak well of me in front of your parents often..."

When this guy spoke, he had a bit of a Jing accent, but it sounded a bit awkward.

Speaking Cantonese-style Mandarin while deliberately mixing in "er" sounds—think about how awkward that must be.

However, Zhou Andong and Seeing Jian Qiu listened with great interest, feeling it was quite interesting.

After more than ten minutes, the young man finally put down the phone.

"Brother, sorry for keeping you waiting."

"It's fine."

Zhou Andong waved his hand with a smile, took the coin Seeing Jian Qiu handed him, and dialed the phone number left on the pager.

After just two rings, Wu Chao answered: "Chairman!"

Zhou Andong asked: "What happened?"

Wu Chao recounted the matter: "We suspect that Song Ziyi wants to do something unfavorable to you."

Zhou Andong smiled: "Keep an eye on him. I'm going to Xiangjiang in a few days; the pager won't receive signals. If there's any situation, call the Qiudongfang Xiangjiang headquarters."

"Understood!" Wu Chao agreed and hung up the phone.

"What happened?" Seeing Jian Qiu asked.

Zhou Andong recounted it simply: "Soldiers come, block with water; earth comes, block with soil. Thinking so much is useless."

Seeing Jian Qiu didn't take it to heart either. In Jingcheng, Song Ziyi probably didn't have enough cultivation to stir up waves.

………………

Si Wei sat on the sofa watching TV, but her gaze wasn't focused; she was clearly absent-minded.

As time passed, the night outside grew deeper and deeper.

Si Wei checked the time; it was already past eleven. After hesitating again and again, she stood up and walked out.

Then she came to the 28th floor, took the key, and opened Zhou Anlei's door.

Zhou Anlei was leaning against the head of the bed smoking, thinking that if that woman didn't come by twelve, he would sleep.

Just then, he heard the door sound. The kid flipped up, jumped off the bed nimbly, pushed open the bedroom door, and walked out.

The light clicked on, and Si Wei stood there with a smile, looking at Zhou Anlei who was only wearing his underwear.

"My dear!"

Zhou Anlei learned from a scene in a movie, leaning against the wall, supporting his head with his hand.

"Do you know how lonely I am on nights without you? Like a lone goose in the cold night, having lost its direction."

Si Wei burst into laughter, instantly like a hundred flowers blooming, and the light above her head seemed to dim significantly.

"If you are a lone goose that has lost its direction, then I am a wild duck that has lost its way. We met in the vast and high sky. It was you who gave me warmth when my wings were about to freeze..."

Zhou Anlei blinked. He wanted to say something else, but he didn't have much ink in his belly, so he could only express it with practical actions.

He walked over, picked up Si Wei, entered the room, threw her on the bed, and pounced on her.

……

……

……

"Hoo!"

Si Wei let out a long breath, held Zhou Anlei's face with both hands, and kissed him.

"Did you go see Zhou Andong today?"

Zhou Anlei was stunned: "How did you know?"

"Guessed!" Si Wei said with a smile: "If it were me, I would also go find Zhou Andong."

Zhou Anlei flipped up, leaned against the head of the bed, and found a cigarette to light.

"I'm not satisfied with the price that Zhuo Qihua gave. As long as Zhou Andong adds another 10 million, I'll still sell it to Zhou Andong."

Si Wei asked: "How much did Zhou Andong give you?"

Zhou Anlei said proudly: "380 million."

"How much?"

Si Wei sat up instantly, and the little rabbits on her chest jumped twice.

"He added 30 million?"

"No!" Zhou Anlei smoked with great enjoyment: "He only added 5 million."

"Hmm?" Si Wei didn't quite understand. He only added 5 million, so how did it become 380 million?

Zhou Anlei smiled: "I said Mr. Zhuo gave me 375 million, so he added 5 million."

Si Wei's brows furrowed slightly: "You said 375 million, and Zhou Andong believed it?"

Zhou Anlei opened his mouth and exhaled a smoke ring: "He knows very well what the price of the Nansha land plot is now. A strong competitor appeared, and offering 375 million is far below the normal price. What reason does he, Zhou Andong, have not to believe it?"

Si Wei kissed Zhou Anlei on the face happily: "My dear, you are truly amazing; Zhou Andong has been played in the palm of your hand by you."

"Hahaha..."

Zhou Anlei laughed proudly: "Zhou Andong's interest in that piece of land is even greater than I imagined. Now that a competitor has appeared, I am confident that the land can be sold for over 500 million."

"500 million?" Si Wei's eyes jumped: "Mr. Zhuo is impossible to give 500 million."

Zhou Anlei said with disdain: "I never counted on Zhuo Qihua being able to buy that land. As long as he plays the role of this strong competitor well, I am confident that I can make Zhou Andong take out 500 million."

Si Wei looked at Zhou Anlei; she had truly underestimated this guy. That piece of land absolutely could not be allowed to fall into Zhou Andong's hands.

"My dear, I have to go back."

Zhou Anlei nodded: "Go!"

October 9, 1993, the 24th day of the 8th lunar month, Saturday!

"There's a girl in the village named Xiaofang, she looks good and is kind, a pair of beautiful big eyes, her braid is thick and long. On the night before returning to the city, you and I came to the riverside, the tears that had never flowed, flowed along with the river..."

Last night, Xie Fusheng was so excited he didn't fall asleep until the early morning, and early in the morning, he was woken up by the singing coming from the tape recorder in the living room.

Helplessly getting up to put on clothes, he walked out of the bedroom and saw his son, who had a big perm, was wearing a plaid shirt and big shorts, standing in front of the mirror jumping up and down, singing along with the song from the tape recorder.

"Thank you for the love you gave me, I won't forget it in this life, thank you for the tenderness you gave me, accompanying me through that era..."

Looking at his son's long hair and plaid shirt, Xie Fusheng's anger rose.

"Can't you cut your hair and wear some normal clothes?"

"Old antique, what do you know?" Son Xie Guangyu shook his long hair, "This is called trend, understand?"

This kid spoke with a bit of a Jing accent, but it sounded a bit awkward.
