Chapter 1555: Taking a Class

Liu Yahang asked curiously, "What business are you going to cooperate on?"

"In the film and television aspect." Zhou Andong said, "I have an entertainment company in my hands, and he wants to buy shares."

Liu Yahang was not interested in entertainment companies. "How is the major appliance project you told me about before?"

"Don't be anxious!" Zhou Andong said helplessly, "Didn't I say before the New Year that we have to wait for the right time?"

"Sigh!"

Liu Yahang sighed. "The competition in import and export trade is too fierce, so I'm thinking of changing careers."

"I don't understand import and export business." Zhou Andong couldn't talk nonsense about this matter. "As for launching the major appliance project, don't hold too much hope for now.

Anyway, after this project matures, I will naturally notify you, but this time might take two or three years. So, don't pin all your hopes on me."

"Understood!"

Liu Yahang also knew that this matter couldn't be rushed.

"How is the situation in Ganzhou?"

"The project team hasn't been withdrawn yet." Zhou Andong took out cigarettes and lit one for Liu Yahang and Zhou Xianyong. "However, it has already entered the final stage. I estimate that in another two or three months, it will be about done."

Liu Yahang held the cigarette in his hand and picked up his tea cup to take a sip.

"I heard from my old man that you want to integrate the rare earth mines in Ganzhou?"

"Yes!"

Zhou Andong explained the plan. With Liu Yahang's status, it wasn't difficult to know these things, so there was nothing to hide.

On New Year's Eve, Liu Yahang only heard the old man mention it, but he never expected Zhou Andong's heart to be so big.

"This investment is not for one or two years, but for several or even a dozen years, with absolutely no return in sight."

Zhou Andong smiled and said, "Do you think I'm very stupid?"

"Indeed, from a personal emotional perspective, you are indeed very stupid." Liu Yahang was silent for a moment. "But from the perspective of the country's righteousness, your heart, kid.

I dare say that apart from those proletarian revolutionaries of the older generation, in our young generation, no one can compare to your heart."

Zhou Andong laughed. "Your words make me blush a little."

"No!" Liu Yahang said very seriously. "I truly admire you from the bottom of my heart. I used to make money by hook or by crook, thinking only of how my wife and children could eat and dress well, never thinking of any national righteousness. Compared to you, I'm far behind."

Zhou Andong was silent for a moment, the expression on his face more serious than ever before.

"Do you know Professor Huang Lingyi?"

Liu Yahang was stunned and shook his head. "I don't know."

"She said a sentence that had a huge, huge impact on me."

Zhou Andong took a puff of his cigarette. At this time, not only Liu Yahang, but also Luo Yuezhen, Zhou Xianyong, and Ye Xuanzhen were all looking at Zhou Andong.

They didn't know what this professor said that made Zhou Andong say such things.

"She said!" Zhou Andong looked at the few people in front of him. "My greatest wish in this life is to crawl on the ground and wipe away the shame on the motherland."

Once Zhou Andong's words were spoken, not only Liu Yahang and Luo Yuezhen, but even Zhou Xianyong and Ye Xuanzhen couldn't help but look moved. It could be seen how powerful this sentence was.

For a long, long time, Liu Yahang finally said, "Our generation really can't compare to these predecessors, whether in thought or action, we are far, far behind.

Sometimes I think, if it weren't for the dedication and sacrifice of these predecessors, I really don't know what our present would look like."

Zhou Andong said very seriously, "The predecessors gave everything for us, even their blood and lives.

Now that it's our generation, I don't have the power to demand what others should do. But I want to do my best to do something for our next generation.

After all, our country is not yet rich, and there are still many people in many places struggling below the poverty line. Especially children, who don't have enough to eat or wear, and even going to school has become a luxury."

"Dongzi, today you taught your brother a lesson." Liu Yahang straightened his back. "I really hadn't thought about so much before, and now I have a goal too."

Zhou Xianyong glanced at Zhou Andong, looking thoughtful.

Zhou Andong didn't know that his words today had caused Liu Yahang and Zhou Xianyong to take a fork in their original life paths.

And this fork was even more brilliant and magnificent than their original life paths.

"Dahang!"

At this moment, several young men walked over from the entrance, and one of the guys, seeing Liu Yahang, greeted him from afar.

Liu Yahang saw the young man and waved with a smile. "Qinghui, long time no see."

"Indeed."

Yao Qinghui was about thirty-one or thirty-two years old, wearing a military coat and a cotton military cap, looking rustic, but the people around him were very respectful to him.

"Hmm?"

Yao Qinghui walked over, his gaze swept over the few people, and landed on Zhou Andong.

"You..."

"Let me introduce you." Liu Yahang pointed to Zhou Andong. "This is the Chairman of the Imperial Tribute Group, Zhou Andong."

"Slap!" Yao Qinghui patted his head. "Right, right, right, Zhou Andong, you look familiar, I was stunned for a moment, the name was on the tip of my tongue, but I just couldn't say it."

Liu Yahang introduced Zhou Andong again: "Yao Qinghui, from the same courtyard, his old man is Deputy Minister Yao of the General Logistics Department. His grandfather has retired, and he used to be the Commander of the Lanzhou Military Region."

Zhou Andong stood up and shook hands with Yao Qinghui. "Brother Yao, hello, hello."

Yao Qinghui smiled and said, "You know Dahang, we are not outsiders, don't be so polite. If you have anything in the future, just tell your brother. As long as it's not murder or arson, your brother guarantees to handle it for you properly."

Liu Yahang smiled and said, "Do you know who his wife is?"

"Who?" Yao Qinghui was stunned. "Do I know her?"

"I know her."

Before Liu Yahang finished speaking, he heard someone shouting behind him.

"Huizi, why did you just arrive?"

Zhou Andong looked up and saw a young man who was a bit chubby and not very tall walking over.

He looked familiar, and when the guy got closer, he remembered.

This person was at the same table as Feng Kuzi, and his status didn't seem low.

"Jingzi!" Yao Qinghui waved his hand. "I ran into a childhood friend, you guys drink first, I'll chat for a while and then go over."

Originally, Fang Jing didn't pay attention to Zhou Andong's table, but hearing Yao Qinghui say he ran into a childhood friend, he quickened his pace and walked over.

"Your childhood friend, I must get to know him."

Seeing this situation, Zhou Andong could only call the waiter, add chairs, and order two cases of *Yongchuang Tianya* (Brave the World), as well as fruit platters.

Then, Yao Qinghui introduced Liu Yahang to the newcomer.

Fang Jing shook hands with Liu Yahang very politely. "Brother Hang, you and Huizi are childhood friends, we are not outsiders, I have a few brothers over there, let's go over and have a drink in a while."

Yao Qinghui introduced Zhou Andong again. This guy was stunned for a moment, first gave him a look, then shook hands, and said in a lukewarm manner.

"Hello!"
