Chapter 302: The Golden Avenue

~21 min read 4,088 words

Li Dayong strolled around the capital with Pei Wenhui for half a day before sending her back to the Jingbei University girls' dormitory.

After Pei Wenhui left, the lingering joy slowly faded, and a faint worry surfaced in Li Dayong's heart.

He rode his bicycle back, but when he reached the gate of Jingbei University, Li Dayong turned back. Seeing that it was already nine o'clock in the evening, he still decided to go to Li Ye's dormitory to take a look.

Arriving at Dormitory 209, Li Ye hadn't returned yet, but Sun Xianjin knew Li Dayong.

"Li Ye usually doesn't come back until nine-thirty! If you are in a hurry to find him, go along the lakeside and try your luck!"

"Lakeside?"

"Yes, he has the habit of taking a stroll by Weiming Lake in the evening."

Li Dayong was a bit confused, pondering that his brother didn't have the habit of taking a stroll in the evening before!

But when he arrived at the lakeside and saw pairs of male and female students, he understood. What kind of stroll is this? Isn't it just dating in the dark?

Li Dayong decided to go back first. Heaven and earth are great, but Wen Leyu is the greatest; he couldn't disturb the sweet time of the young couple.

But coincidentally, Li Dayong didn't walk a few steps back when he ran into Li Ye and Wen Leyu walking hand in hand.

"Da Yong, are you looking for me?"

"Eh, brother, I sent Liu Xiaohui back, and by the way, I came to the lakeside to stroll. Your school's lake is very famous."

"What you said is a bit strange," he smiled and said, "Why didn't you come to the lakeside with Liu Xiaohui? What's the point of strolling by yourself?"

Li Dayong smiled and didn't speak.

Wen Leyu looked at Li Dayong and said to Li Ye, "You brothers talk first! I'll go back by myself."

"Okay, remember to sleep early today! Don't stay up late reading novels anymore. Your eyesight has declined."

"I know, I know! Really wordy."

After Wen Leyu left, Li Ye greeted Li Dayong to walk back and asked, "Tell me, what is the matter with you looking for me?"

"Ah, I went to see that sewing machine with Liu Xiaohui today. Sister Xiao Yue sent us there..."

Li Dayong walked and talked about what happened at the Nancheng Third Machinery Factory today, and emphatically talked about Pei Wenhui's performance.

After finishing, Li Dayong said somewhat desolately, "Brother, why are you all so smart?"

"What do you mean we are so smart?" Li Ye smiled, "Whether it's my sister or my grandfather, they all say you are much smarter than me?"

"That was before," Li Dayong smiled bitterly, "But since I repeated a year, you have been completely different. Later, when I arrived in the capital, I realized that I am really stupid..."

Li Ye stopped, grabbed Li Dayong, looked at him carefully for two times, and asked with a smile, "Why, are you not confident in front of Pei Wenhui?"

Li Dayong: "..."

Li Ye continued to ask, "Are you very confused and don't understand why Pei Wenhui would take a fancy to you, Li Dayong?"

Li Dayong: "..."

Although the brothers talked about almost everything, and Li Ye even told Li Dayong what kind of girl is better, Li Ye only asked these two sentences, and Li Dayong felt his face was a bit burning.

Bragging and farting, and being concerned and confused, are simply two different things.

Don't look at some love experts who are arrogant all day long; if they really meet a girl they like, they are just mortals.

Li Ye patted his brother's shoulder and said easily, "You usually talk to Liu Xiaohui more about her childhood, and then you will find that she is the same as us, both from bitter backgrounds, and maybe even bitterer than us..."

"She told me about this," Li Dayong said, "She said that when she was a child, her father passed away, and her mother took her and her brother to help others in a food stall.

Sometimes when someone came to make trouble, her brother would fight with others, and she would have to help in the back, just like in the movies..."

Li Ye nodded and said, "Yes! But look at Pei Wencong's skinny appearance, can he beat anyone?"

Li Dayong said somewhat embarrassedly, "Brother, don't say that. He is a patriotic entrepreneur anyway. You are a bit insulting."

"You still don't understand?" Li Ye said with disdain, "I mean, Pei Wenhui has lacked a sense of security since she was a child, just like in our hometown. If there is no strong man in the family, they will be bullied by others."

"Just this?"

Li Dayong scratched his head, still not believing it.

Li Ye said, "It's not entirely, but brother, I tell you, your appearance is very 'an' in the eyes of some girls in Hong Kong."

"Very 'an'?"

Li Dayong didn't understand at all and asked, "What does it mean, brother?"

"..."

How do I explain this to you? Should I say that you look like the flat-a superman Ma Dongxi, and you give people a sense of security at first glance?

Li Dayong is actually taller than Ma Dongxi, 1.89 meters tall, nearly 200 pounds, and doesn't have much fat. He is the kind of person that thieves on the bus don't dare to attack.

"Don't ask what it means. You just need to know that we are not worse than her."

Li Ye encouraged Li Dayong, "As for why you think Liu Xiaohui is smarter than you today, it's just because her experience is different from ours.

Pei Wenhui followed her mother to do food stall business when she was a child, and later Pei Wencong opened a publishing house. Naturally, she had a businessman's thinking and was handy in doing business."

"But think about what we have been doing since we were children?"

Li Dayong was silent for a few seconds and said weakly, "Didn't we fight since we were children, brother?"

Li Ye was speechless for a moment, then said, "I mean, as long as you study patiently and exercise hard in the future, you won't be worse than Pei Wenhui."

"And Pei Wencong's family has been able to struggle until now, not knowing how much bitterness they have eaten. From the root, they are the same kind of people as us, and they don't resist people like you and me.

If you don't believe it, think about the days in Hong Kong. Pei Wencong didn't stop you and Pei Wenhui from dating, right?"

"That's true."

Li Dayong remembered the days he stayed in Hong Kong, and Pei Wencong's family was indeed very affectionate to him.

It's just that Li Dayong didn't know that Li Ye didn't say one thing.

Girls in Hong Kong might like very 'an' boys, but they don't ignore everything else.

Li Ye brought Li Dayong there at the beginning, which indicated that this was his "brother." If there was no Li Ye's endorsement, Pei Wencong might not have separated Li Dayong and Pei Wenhui in advance.

After all, Pei Wencong only became rich after following Li Ye, so would Li Ye's brother be a poor ghost?

"Okay, don't think too much, hurry back!"

Li Ye chased Li Dayong onto the bicycle and said, "On Saturday, you invite Pei Wenhui to participate in our dinner party, and your concerns will soon be dispelled."

Li Dayong hesitated and said, "Is she willing to participate in our activities?"

Li Ye said, "Then you ask!"

Since the eight-person small group left the Second Grain Store and collectively went north to the capital, they each had their own new social circles, breaking the state of being inseparable day and night.

Every week when they had dinner at Zaojunmiao, there were always people who didn't come. Sometimes six or seven people could gather, sometimes only three or five. The least time, there were actually only Li Ye and Wen Leyu.

That is, fortunately, there were Jin Peng, Old Song, and others to support the bottom, otherwise, after preparing a basket of meat and vegetables, they would have to be cheap for Pavlov!

But in general, the existence of the Zaojunmiao dinner party still played a good role in maintaining the eight-person small group. Although there were always people absent, the close relationship between them never faded.

So when they knew Li Dayong was going to bring a "new female classmate" to the dinner party, not one of the eight people was absent. Just like looking at a bride, everyone wanted to take a look at Pei Wenhui, this "Hong Kong international student."

Han Xia leaned to Hu Man's side and whispered, "Why do you have time to come today? I haven't seen you for three times in a row."

Hu Man glanced at Han Xia and replied, "I don't want to come, but I'm afraid you'll pass on some gossip to me."

Han Xia smiled and said, "Regret it?"

Hu Man shook her head with a light smile, "To tell the truth, I really hope Li Dayong will cheer up. If it's always like last semester, I wouldn't dare to come to the party."

At that time, Li Dayong ran to Hu Man's school all day long, and Hu Man had to ask Li Ye to help her refuse. Later, Li Dayong became increasingly haggard because of Lin Qiuyan's affairs, so Hu Man didn't come to Zaojunmiao much. Coming over today, she felt quite relieved and liberated.

Han Xia tilted her mouth, then shouted to several classmates in the courtyard, "Everyone be serious later! She is a foreign guest, don't make jokes that shouldn't be made..."

Fu Yingjie, who was lighting the stove, said, "Oh, stop talking. Usually, you, Han Xia, like to make jokes the most, and you still talk about others..."

Han Xia raised her willow eyebrows, pinched her waist and shouted, "Fu Yingjie, are you looking for a beating? Have you grown capable after coming to the capital?"

"Don't, don't, don't. I can't beat you two. Spare my life, spare my life! Don't really hit me! Old Yan, hurry up and pull your wife..."

"Hahahaha~"

Han Xia and Yan Jinbu were both admitted to the Jingbei Institute of Chemical Technology. After more than a year of getting along, there were already signs of breaking the window paper.

University students falling in love in this era are still very reserved. Only a very small number dare to write love poems. Many honest children can't take that step for several years. It can be said that in school, there are far more secret loves than loves.

And Han Xia and Yan Jinbu are fellow villagers and classmates, and they are thousands of miles away from home in the same school. This natural contact is just a matter of course, right?

But Fu Yingjie said it in front of so many people, and Han Xia still chased and beat Fu Yingjie with a laugh and scolding, while the taciturn Yan Jinbu also angrily opened his arms to block Fu Yingjie, who was flying around the courtyard, a typical helper of his wife.

"Coming, coming, line up."

Jiang Xiaoyan, who was on guard at the door, ran back and shouted. Everyone became quiet, and Fu Yingjie hurriedly tidied his clothes and smoothed his hairstyle.

Li Ye and Li Dayong each rode a bicycle and entered the courtyard of Zaojunmiao.

Pei Wenhui got off the back seat of the bicycle, looked at the five classmates lined up in two rows of men and women, just like welcoming them, and was obviously stunned for a moment.

Li Ye also couldn't help but laugh and said, "What are you doing? We are all our own people, don't be so serious. I'll introduce you. This is Pei Wenhui, an international student at our school. Da Yong, you introduce our classmates to her."

Li Dayong said calmly, "This is Han Xia, this is Hu Man, this is Jiang Xiaoyan..."

Pei Wenhui followed Li Dayong and greeted everyone one by one. Her sweet smile was very approachable.

"I came to participate in the party for the first time. I don't know what everyone likes, so I only brought some of the latest released tapes. Don't dislike them..."

Pei Wenhui didn't bring any valuable gifts, so as not to make people feel that she had a sense of superiority, and tapes at this time were the things students liked most, and the price was not expensive.

"There is actually Xu Wenqiang here! And his partner Feng Chengcheng..."

"You all misunderstood this! Xu Wenqiang's partner is not Feng Chengcheng, it's Zheng Yuling..."

"Then who is Deng Lijun's partner?"

"Deng Lijun had a scandal with Chen Gangsheng, but later I don't know why they broke up..."

It has to be said that the celebrity gossip from Hong Kong is more attractive than the tapes. Pei Wenhui only came in for a few minutes and pulled all the girls present over, discussing it endlessly.

And when it was time to cook, Pei Wenhui, who spoke softly and sweetly and had a delicate figure, was actually very nimble, cutting vegetables and stir-frying, all of which she could do, comparable to Jiang Xiaoyan.

This made everyone surprised and greatly increased their good feelings.

Being able to enter the hall and enter the kitchen is not only to make men feel happy, but friends also admire and like it.

Li Ye poked Li Dayong and pursed his lips, saying, "Do you understand?"

Li Dayong was stunned and asked, "What did you say, brother?"

Li Ye said, "How is the status of this classmate Pei Wenhui compared to that classmate Lin Qiuyan?"

Li Dayong was silent for a few seconds and shook his head with a bitter smile.

Lin Qiuyan's father was a factory director, and Pei Wenhui's eldest brother was a billionaire and a patriotic wanderer who participated in the National Day ceremony. No need to compare, everyone knows who is high and who is low.

Li Ye asked again, "Then comparing the two of them, whose knowledge is broader?"

Li Dayong shook his head again and didn't speak.

At the beginning, Lin Qiuyan always promoted to Li Dayong "how about overseas, how about my cousin overseas."

But Pei Wenhui was originally from "overseas," and she was a rich young lady who drove a luxury car and lived in a luxury house, and after her BMW car fell into the ditch, she immediately changed to a Ferrari.

But at that time, Lin Qiuyan was unwilling to contact Li Dayong's classmates. Although it couldn't be said that she "disdained to associate with them," she was also very resistant.

Who let everyone be mud-legged people from the countryside?

But look at Pei Wenhui now. Although she is shiny and bright, where is there any air of a young lady from Hong Kong?

Li Ye patted Li Dayong's arm again and asked, "How many times has Pei Wenhui actively looked for you since she came to the capital?"

Li Dayong said, "Four times. I told her that there are thieves on the buses in the capital, so let her wait for me at Jingbei University, but sometimes she still comes to find me."

Li Ye smiled and said, "Do you understand now? This is the kind of girl I told you about. You like her, she likes you, and neither feels aggrieved when they are together."

Li Dayong suddenly remembered that at the beginning, it was also in this Zaojunmiao that he asked Li Ye what kind of girl he should pursue in the future, and Li Ye explained those words to him.

Now Pei Wenhui in front of him, except that he didn't try hard to pursue her, everything else seemed to be satisfied.

Even the shoes are size 36.

"Brother, it turns out you really don't lie."

"Eh, don't talk nonsense!" Li Ye smiled, "Whether I lie or not depends on who it is."

In mid-November, Li Dayong happily notified Li Ye that the new sewing machine finally met the basic requirements after more than half a month of all-out breakthroughs.

However, this time, it was not Pei Wenhui who went to preside over the acceptance alone, but Hao Jian brought several experienced technical workers from Pengcheng to the capital.

Whether the equipment is easy to use or not, the workers must have the final say.

Li Ye hates that kind of expert-style acceptance, full of technical terms and cost requirements, but when it is delivered to the hands of first-line workers, it is all kinds of discomfort, and there are all kinds of "carrying forward the spirit and overcoming difficulties."

Jin Peng drove himself, carrying Li Ye and Hao Jian toward the Nancheng Third Machinery Factory. On the way, Hao Jian was in high spirits and "claimed credit" to Li Ye.

"Godson, actually I wanted to come to the capital a few days ago, but the orders for this autumn Canton Fair were really too many."

"Just the Hong Kong Fenghua Company side placed an order of seven million, and other overseas merchants placed another six or seven million. I was busy for more than half a month before I arranged it clearly..."

Hao Jian couldn't help but be proud. After the spring Canton Fair this year, he only had a balance of 150,000 US dollars, and he was so happy when it rose to 1.7 million in the summer.

As a result, in just a few months, the foreign exchange creation quota directly exceeded ten million US dollars. He never dreamed of this growth speed.

These days, Hao Jian was not just busy with production in the factory, but more importantly, he participated in various meetings and wine parties. Now, Factory Director Hao Jian is already a "young talent" in Pengcheng.

Li Ye smiled and said, "Then you have to work harder. It is estimated that it will be even busier next year. Old Pei has already acquired two trading companies specifically for shipping goods overseas. It is estimated that next year's orders will double."

"It's fine if he doubles eight times," Hao Jian said boldly, "Godson, to tell you the truth, the phone in my office rings all day long now. Those coordination units are chasing me for foreign exchange orders, and they can swallow any amount."

"But I still try to let our own factory produce, so now we have more than 25,000 employees..."

"Even if you have 80,000 employees, you have to give me goods first! You can't always sell to foreigners and ignore our compatriots in the mainland, right?"

Jin Peng, who was driving, laughed and scolded, "I am also being chased by a bunch of people behind my butt now, asking me for the Fenghua brand every day. Some people even threatened me that if I don't match them with the Fenghua brand, they won't sell our ordinary clothes."

"Threaten you? Who dares to threaten you? Have they rebelled?"

Hao Jian said with domineering exposure, "Didn't Li Ye give us advice two years ago? Whoever doesn't listen, we will support an obedient distributor to fight against him."

"There are several million in idle money in our factory's account! We will pile him to death even if we sell at a loss."

When the team first started, Hao Jian and Jin Peng were both first-line business personnel, and they had personally developed sales channels, so they understood the routines of those distributors.

Jin Peng said, "Then I don't need you, I can cure them, but doing business can't just rely on means, you have to give people benefits! You must allocate more Fenghua brands to me in the future."

Hao Jian said, "Okay, okay, okay. We can spare production capacity next month. You hold on for a while!"

Li Ye sat in the back seat of the Crown car, watching his two subordinates showing off to each other, somewhat amused.

After two years of training, the rapid development of Pengcheng Factory No. 7 gave these two guys some confidence as leaders, but they were also a bit floating.

I have to find an opportunity to beat them later. Don't think you are awesome and don't take others seriously.

By next year, after the dual-track market system begins, I don't know how many great people will start to go to sea. In a few years, the seller's market will turn into a buyer's market.

Now as long as you have goods in your hands, you don't have to worry about not being able to sell them, but it won't be that easy in a few years!

Li Ye and Hao Jian's Crown car soon arrived in Nancheng. However, when they were not far from the Third Machinery Factory, they found Li Yue's Volga parked on the side of the road, and Li Dayong, Pei Wenhui, and several others were standing there with gloomy faces.

Jin Peng pulled the Crown car to the side. After the three got out of the car, they asked, "What's wrong, Da Yong? Why are you waiting here?"

Li Dayong walked to Li Ye's side and whispered, "My teacher's classmate is the deputy director of the workshop at the Third Machinery Factory. He used the factory's equipment and materials to complete the trial production of the sample."

"But I don't know who informed, so the factory gave a punishment, and the equipment was locked in the warehouse. Now we don't know what to do..."

Hao Jian was stunned and immediately frowned, "What kind of thing is this? We came from far away, and we can't even see the things?"

Hearing Hao Jian's complaint, Cao Zhisheng, Tang Mingtai, and others standing on the side of the road were also very annoyed. They had been working their lives off for more than half a month.

They originally planned to succeed in trial production, take the research fee, and then hand it over to the factory for production, but today the buyer finally arrived, but they had such a fork in their own side.

Li Ye walked over and whispered a few words to Pei Wenhui.

Pei Wenhui walked to Cao Zhisheng with a smile, pointed to Hao Jian, who looked like a big boss, and said, "Hello, teachers. That is the factory director of Pengcheng Factory No. 7. Can you find a way to let him see our products first today?"

Cao Zhisheng opened his mouth and didn't know what to say. Tang Mingtai said, "Little Comrade Pei, it is indeed somewhat inconvenient in the factory today. Can you wait a few more days?"

Pei Wenhui smiled and said, "Waiting a few days is of course possible, but may I ask if you have fully mastered the production technology of the new sewing machine?"

Tang Mingtai said, "Yes, and I can clearly tell you that we left a hand. Although the sample in the factory can operate now, without us, they can't produce it."

Pei Wenhui nodded, opened her bag, and started counting money.

"I will settle the research expenses for you first, and then you take us to see the machine. If the machine can meet the standard, then we can talk about the technology transfer fee next."

"..."

"Technology transfer fee?"

Cao Zhisheng, Tang Mingtai, and others were stunned, looking at each other with big eyes and small eyes.

The meaning of this little girl is that she can pay three times?

But when Pei Wenhui handed the money to Cao Zhisheng, they had to believe it even if they didn't believe it.

"I will take you to see the factory director now, but don't speak, so as not to let him open his mouth like a lion..."

"It doesn't matter if he opens his mouth like a lion," Pei Wenhui said, "As long as you master the technology, we can choose another factory to produce, but you must ensure that you can produce smoothly."

"That's no problem. I know a small factory that can produce it, but it's a bit far, 30 kilometers to the north..."

Tang Mingtai suddenly felt that his thinking was opened, and a golden avenue appeared in front of him, shining brightly.

I made a mistake today. Two chapters were combined into one, and I missed the release time. Eh~ ===== CHAPTER 303 =====
