Chapter 2225: Mo Dong's Wish

Zhou Andong pushed open the door of the reception hall. Just as he stepped out of the threshold, he saw Uncle Gu Mingxiang and the others coming out from behind.

Before he could introduce them to each other, Shen Mingsheng, who was following him, was quick-eyed and fast-footed, and walked up with big strides.

"Minister Gu, hello!" Shen Mingsheng said while shaking hands with Gu Mingxiang.

Gu Mingxiang was clearly a bit surprised. He never expected to meet Shen Mingsheng here. After a brief astonishment, he reacted immediately, thinking there must be some business cooperation with Zhou Andong, otherwise he wouldn't appear here at this time.

"Boss Shen, I really didn't expect to meet you at Andong's place. Is it that you have business cooperation?"

Shen Mingsheng nodded: "Several like-minded friends and I have jointly invested with Chairman Zhou to establish an automobile manufacturing company and acquired an automobile manufacturing enterprise with great potential. Currently, all relevant procedures have been implemented, and the next step is to determine the factory site."

Gu Mingxiang was very surprised. He didn't expect that Zhou Andong, such a shrewd person, would get involved in the automobile manufacturing industry.

After all, the country invests huge sums of money in it every year, but the results have always been unsatisfactory. However, despite his doubts, he was still very much looking forward to it.

After all, Zhou Andong's talent in business could be called supreme. Looking at the whole country, I'm afraid no one can compete with him.

If he could really make a name for himself in the automobile manufacturing industry this time, then as his uncle-in-law, he would naturally have face.

"Is that so?" Gu Mingxiang laughed heartily: "You are going to engage in automobile manufacturing; I am full of expectations!"

Shen Mingsheng said sincerely: "Minister Gu, when our own cars are built, we will definitely send you one."

Gu Mingxiang waved his hand with a smile: "Sending me one is unnecessary, but I must drive it around Beijing."

Gu Bing rubbed his stomach: "Alright, if there is anything to talk about, let's go to the restaurant and talk while eating."

"Let's go!" Zhou Andong greeted everyone, then glanced at Jian Mingfan, who was standing beside Fourth Aunt, and beckoned.

The kid walked over with a grin: "Brother-in-law!"

He hadn't seen this kid for a long time. Seeing him today, he felt he had grown a lot taller.

Zhou Andong smiled, raised his hand, patted Jian Mingfan on the shoulder lightly, and asked while walking.

"How did you do on the exam?"

Jian Mingfan puffed out his chest confidently: "Qingbei (Tsinghua and Peking University) is no problem at all."

That look was as if he already held the admission notices of the two top universities in his hands.

Hearing this, he laughed and couldn't help but glance at Jian Mingfan: "As a Beijing native, you got into Qingbei, so you're quite proud, right?"

"If you changed your identity and went to any other province in the country to take the college entrance examination, and could still get into Qingbei, that would be truly awesome!"

"Why? Look down on people?" Jian Mingfan was very unconvinced after hearing Zhou Andong's words: "This year, the average score for the Peking University science entrance exam is over 650. What if I get over 650?"

While speaking, they had reached the restaurant door. Zhou Andong stopped, looked Jian Mingfan up and down, and then spoke slowly.

"Fine, you don't need to get as high as 650. As long as you can get 600, no matter what conditions you put forward, I will agree to them all!"

"Good!" Jian Mingfan said confidently: "It's a deal."

Zhou Andong nodded with a smile and stepped into the restaurant.

At this time, a group of little ones were sitting neatly around a large table, quiet and not noisy, but those lively big eyes were glancing toward the kitchen from time to time.

"Dad!" A crisp and pleasant shout rang out. Seeing Zhou Andong come in, Su Su quickly twisted her small body, stuck out her round little butt, and carefully climbed down from the chair.

Seeing this, Zhou Andong hurried forward, squatted down, hugged the little girl into his arms, kissed her gently on her tender little face, and then gently put her back on the ground, whispering softly.

"Su Su, be good, go play with Fourth Aunt and the brothers and sisters, Dad still has to entertain guests."

"Okay!" The little girl responded obediently, like a happy little rabbit, stepped on her short little legs, jumped and ran back to her seat, climbed onto the chair with hands and feet, and sat upright.

Watching Su Su being so sensible and cute, Zhou Andong couldn't help but laugh happily. Then he turned around and greeted everyone to take their seats.

After everyone was settled, he went to the kitchen to take a look. Seeing that everything was ready, he asked Sister Liu and the others to serve the dishes. It was already past six o'clock, and everyone must be hungry.

This meal lasted for more than an hour, and the atmosphere was exceptionally warm. After all, it was Zhou Andong's celebration for having a daughter. Besides sending sincere blessings, relatives and friends toasted him one after another to express their congratulations.

And Zhou Andong, facing everyone's enthusiasm, naturally accepted everything, drinking cup after cup. Fortunately, he had a good tolerance for alcohol, and the elders didn't participate, otherwise, he would have definitely collapsed tonight.

After eating, Gu Mingxiang and several other elders sat around the table and chatted about family affairs with Old Zhou, the in-law.

It was only half an hour, and seeing that it was about time, they got up and prepared to leave. Zhou Andong sent them to the door.

At this moment, Mo Dong, who had been standing on the side without saying a word, suddenly walked up, pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose lightly, showed a shy smile on his face, and said softly to Zhou Andong.

"Brother-in-law, there is something I want to tell you."

"I took the college entrance examination this year. Although the scores haven't come down yet, my estimated score is quite good."

"So, after careful consideration, I decided to apply for the engineering major of Harbin Institute of Technology—Materials Science and Engineering. After I graduate, can I go to the Yuzhou Technology Research Institute?"

Hearing these words from Mo Dong, Zhou Andong couldn't help but feel very surprised. He never expected that Mo Dong would choose to apply for Harbin Institute of Technology.

You have to know, in the field of Materials Science and Engineering, the strength of Qingbei and aviation-related colleges is also quite strong, and compared to Harbin Institute of Technology, it is not bad.

Moreover, Mo Dong, as a native of Beijing, if he applied for colleges in Beijing, whether in terms of admission score line or regional convenience, he would have far more advantages than applying for Harbin Institute of Technology, which is far away in the Northeast.

More importantly, although Harbin Institute of Technology is quite awesome at this time, its popularity compared to Qingbei and aviation is still a certain gap.

In this era, the dissemination of information is relatively slow and blocked, and the vision of ordinary people is limited. Most of them only know these two famous universities, Qingbei.

As for Harbin Institute of Technology, very few people have heard of it. Even if someone occasionally knows, they often only regard it as an ordinary university.

Unlike the information explosion era of later generations, with the Internet, the mysterious veil of Harbin Institute of Technology was revealed by netizens and known to the world.
