Chapter 59 Chapter 15 (3)

Zhong Yuemin remembered that when Ning Wei was in the army, he was a very ascetic person. He didn't like to chat with his comrades, and he had never seen him play poker or chess with others. It can't be said that he had any hobbies.Reunited with Ning Wei unexpectedly this time, Zhong Yuemin discovered that Ning Wei has also changed a bit, he can actually play, sometimes go to the bar for bubbles, and sometimes go to some foreign-related restaurants to play bowling.Zhong Yuemin also asked Ning Wei if he had a girlfriend.Ning Wei answered honestly, saying that he had had several girlfriends, and each date did not exceed a month.Zhong Yuemin guessed it was because of his personality, and girls might not like men with this kind of personality.

In the bowling alley of a foreign-related hotel, Ning Wei was teaching Zhong Yuemin to throw the ball with a bowling ball in his hand. A very simple thing is made very complicated, isn't it just throwing the ball and smashing a few wooden pins?Why do you have to change your shoes? Ning Wei praised: "As expected of an old scout, he is really accurate." Zhong Yuemin said disdainfully: "You bosses just play with this, what's the point?" "Brother, you don't understand this. This is an upper-class movement. You don't have to like it, but you must know how to play, or you will be laughed at by others."

"Bullshit, I'm a soldier, not a gentleman? What did you bring me here for?" Ning Wei said: "You haven't been back to Beijing for several years. I don't know the situation in Beijing. There are a lot of people who have made a fortune. If you have money, you have to have somewhere to spend it. So you can play whatever is fashionable. I heard that a golf course is being built now. Well, rich people should go there." Zhong Yuemin looked around: "The people who come here are all rich people? I really can't tell." Ning Wei pointed to a person who was picking bowling balls on a nearby alley and said in a low voice: "Did you see that person? He was covered with famous tags all over his body, and the watch in his hand was worth at least tens of thousands. This is a real rich man."

Zhong Yuemin looked at that person: "Just him? How fucking evil, what do rich people look like today? Huh? Why does this person look familiar to me?" The man raised his head and met Zhong Yuemin's eyes.With a surprised look on his face, he put down the ball and hurried over: "You are... Zhong Yuemin?" Zhong Yuemin also recognized him: "Are you Li Yuanchao?" Li Yuanchao said excitedly: "It's really you, Zhong Yuemin." Zhong Yuemin also smiled: "My God, are you still alive?" The two shook hands warmly. Li Yuanchao put his arm around Zhong Yuemin's shoulder and said, "Let's have a good chat, how many years haven't we seen?"

"It's been seventeen years since we broke up in 1968." Li Yuanchao brought Zhong Yuemin and Ning Wei into the coffee shop of the hotel, and he snapped his fingers to the waiter with ease: "Three cups of coffee." Zhong Yuemin had never been in such a luxurious place. Before he changed his career, he thought he had seen the world. He grew up in Beijing, and the most exclusive place in Beijing was just a high-ranking club located in the beekeeping lane. Zhong Yuemin used to follow My father has been there several times, but who knows that Beijing has changed so much in the years since he left Beijing.Among other things, the luxury of this foreign-related hotel in front of him made Zhong Yuemin feel ashamed.

The waiter brought coffee and fresh milk for the coffee. Zhong Yuemin put the coffee cup aside, but picked up the container of fresh milk and took a sip. Li Yuanchao smiled tolerantly: "Yuemin, look at your clothes, have you just been transferred from the army?" Zhong Yuemin laughed at himself and said, "I'm a country bumpkin. I've been a soldier all these years. I've been fooled. Let's not talk about it. Aid Korea. Back then, I heard that you and your group were all in trouble?" Li Yuanchao said: "Can we not go in? After all, human life is at stake. Fortunately, the little bastard is full of evil, otherwise none of us would have thought of it. However, in all fairness, although I dared to make a fuss back then, I did not have the courage to kill after all. It's just that there are too many people." Miscellaneous, once you move your hands, you can't control the situation."

"Why did they let you go again later?" "There are a few reasons. First, we had contacted the Public Security Bureau in advance, and the Public Security Bureau agreed that we could assist in arresting the little bastard. Second, the public security system was half-paralyzed at the time. Third, the law does not blame the public, and dozens of people They all moved their hands, not to mention that the participants at that time were all the children of cadres, and they all had intertwined social relationships. This would inevitably form a force to interfere in the judiciary. This incident was rehabilitated by the Public Security Bureau in the late 1970s, and after I graduated from the study class, I went to join the army, and I have been in the army for more than ten years."

Zhong Yuemin asked: "Are you doing well now, where did you get high?" Li Yuanchao handed over a business card: "I changed jobs in 1980. I first worked in a government agency. Last year, Zhenrong Group was established. I have a relationship, so I joined Zhenro Group. This is my business card." Zhong Yuemin looked at the business card: "Hey, why do you have such a big show? Are you the general manager?" "We are a state-owned company, and the general manager is also a national employee. Don't treat me as a foreign boss." Ning Wei said to Zhong Yuemin: "Brother, I have heard of Zhenro Group, which is a very powerful company."

Li Yuanchao looked at his watch and stood up: "Yuemin, my time is very tight, and I have a social meeting in a while, so I'm sorry, please keep my business card. If you don't find a better job, you can come to our company. Let's talk again sometime, okay, goodbye!" Li Yuanchao bid farewell and left. Ning Wei looked at Li Yuanchao's back and said, "As expected of a big boss, his style is just extraordinary, big brother, ordinary people in this kind of company can't get in through relationships, so don't miss this opportunity." Zhong Yuemin said lightly: "I don't have this interest yet, let's talk about it."

Zhong Yuemin went through the formalities of changing jobs without discussing with his father, which made Zhong Shanyue very annoyed. Zhong Shanyue hoped that his son would be a professional soldier for the rest of his life, and this was also to fulfill his own dream.After the founding of the People's Republic of China, a large number of cadres were needed to fill departments at all levels. Because Zhong Shanyue was a rare cultural person among military cadres, he was forced to take off his military uniform and transfer to a local job. He was already a deputy military cadre at that time.When he was awarded the title in 1955, Zhong Shanyue closed his door at home and scolded the street. If he hadn't been forced to change jobs by the organization, he should have been awarded the rank of major general.Originally, Zhong Shanyue pinned his hopes on his son. He believed in his son. This kid has been bold since he was a child, and he has many tricks. He is a good material to be an officer. He has participated in and directed many special operations and made second-class meritorious service. With these capitals, Zhong Yuemin will have a bright future in the army.Zhong Shanyue never expected that this little bastard would dare not even say hello, and went through the formalities of changing jobs by himself. When he told Zhong Shanyue, the rice had already been cooked.

Zhong Shanyue thought helplessly, he really couldn't control his son when he was grown up, this bastard didn't take his father seriously at all, he could do whatever he wanted with his own affairs, and never asked his father's opinion at all. Intend.But now that his son has returned, Zhong Shanyue has no choice but to admit this fait accompli. What he is most worried about now is the strange thoughts in his son's mind. According to Zhong Shanyue's thinking, a job-changing cadre, going to a state agency is his only way out , but he felt that his son did not seem to have much interest in this type of work. As soon as Zhong Yuemin got home and sat in the living room, his father stared at him. Anyway, the old man had plenty of time. As long as his son was at home, he wanted to chat with his son. He was too lonely. Zhong Shanyue asked: "Has your work problem been solved?" "There are currently no suitable jobs." "Don't worry, wait and see, there must be a suitable job, my retirement salary is enough for us to eat, I think you should join a state agency." Zhong Yuemin said: "Dad, I don't want to join any institution, I just want to live a life of freedom, what do you think of me as a self-employed?" Zhong Shanyue became angry when he heard it: "Fart, you are a battalion-level cadre, how can you become a self-employed person?" "Well, don't get angry, or I'll just eat your salary without doing anything, and don't think I'm idle when the days get longer." "I'd rather let you have an idle meal than embarrass me." The phone rang.Zhong Shanyue picked up the microphone: "Hello? Which one?" A girl's voice came from the microphone: "Please find Zhong Yuemin." "He's at home, wait a moment..." Zhong Shanyue covered the microphone: "You kid lied to me? Didn't you say you don't have a girlfriend? Why is a girl coming to your door? Please explain it to me..." Zhong Yuemin took the microphone: "I am Zhong Yuemin, who are you?" "I am tall." "Wait..." He covered the microphone: "Dad, do you want to avoid it? Why don't you go out for a walk?" Zhong Shanyue said dissatisfiedly: "When my girlfriend calls, I will be thrown out? You bastard..." "Dad, please do me a favor, your son has a thin skin." Zhong Shanyue went out muttering. Zhong Yuemin said in a low voice: "Gao, I'm sorry, just now my dad was beside me, if he knew that I was going to set up a pancake stand, the old man would have to skin me, just tell me." "I went to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau to ask, and they refused to issue a license for us, saying that we must have business premises." Zhong Yuemin said: "Isn't this nonsense? Why do we have to set up a stall if we have a business building? We have already opened a restaurant. No matter how many there are, we can do it without a license." "is this okay?" "Proletarians only lose their chains. What are we afraid of? There are stalls all over the street, and they may not all have licenses. Let's do it first." Gao said, "Then listen to you." The partnership agreement between Zhong Yuemin and Gao was made while drinking beer in a small restaurant. Zhong Yuemin believes that with his own ability, let alone opening a pancake stand, even opening a multinational company is not a problem. Partnering with this kind of little girl movie can basically be regarded as poverty alleviation. Since it is poverty alleviation, of course he cannot be on an equal footing with himself. He said carelessly: "The pancake stand doesn't require much investment. You just need a flat tricycle, a stove, cooking utensils and so on. The key is craftsmanship. Let's pay half of the funds. Your demobilization fee is not enough." Finish spending? I'm in charge of spreading the pancakes, and you're in charge of collecting the money. The profits are 40 to 60%. Gao Shi didn't rub the sand in his eyes: "Hey, why do you take 60%?" Zhong Yuemin explained patiently: "I am a skilled worker, and you are a skilled worker. It's like I am a cook cooking on the stove, and you are a small worker who is responsible for peeling onions and garlic. Can you compare with me? There is also a question of technical content here, remuneration according to work is the distribution principle of our socialism, and you have been educated by the party for many years, how come you don't even understand this truth?" "Zhong Yuemin, you really don't have the demeanor of a battalion commander at all. You're just counting on us as soldiers. Fortunately, it wasn't a war, otherwise I wouldn't even know how I died. You'd better not do this, isn't it just spreading pancakes? If you can do it, I can do it too, and the profits will be shared fifty-fifty, and if you don't do it, you will be pulled down." Zhong Yuemin thought for a while and said: "Okay, okay, let's make it this way, it doesn't matter if I suffer a little bit, alas, it's hard to raise a villain and a woman." Gao said angrily: "The premise of cooperation is fairness. Don't think that you are smart enough to play tricks for others and try to make some unequal treaties." Zhong Yuemin smiled: "Xiao Gao, you are really not simple. I like a partner like you without rubbing sand in your eyes when you settle accounts. Well, you have passed the test. From today, you and I are partners. " Gao smiled and said: "You are thinking too fast, I want to guard against you, so as not to be tricked by you if you don't pay attention." "It's outrageous, it's really outrageous, you're plotting against each other before you even do this?" On the first day when the pancake stand opened, Zhong Yuemin specially wore a white overalls and a small white cap of the Hui people. He parked the pancake cart at the intersection of a street, and installed a glass pavilion on the car. He wrote a few Arabic words with red paint like a child to show that this is authentic halal food, but in fact, even he himself didn't know what those few Arabic words meant. It was morning working hours, and the number of pedestrians on the street gradually increased.Zhong Yuemin tapped the pan with an iron spoon in his hand, and seemed to feel good about himself. Gao was counting the eggs, and Zhong Yuemin shouted: "Anyone eat pancakes?" Pedestrians on the street were taken aback and stopped to watch. Gao whispered and complained: "Slow down, why are you acting like a robber? It scared everyone away." Zhong Yuemin asked: "Xiao Gao, have you had breakfast?" "have eaten." "Then I haven't eaten yet, now I have to practice my skills." Zhong Yuemin spread out a pancake carefully, and then swallowed it in a few mouthfuls. He spread out a second pancake and ate it hungrily. He patted his stomach, Seemingly unsatisfied, he picked up the spoon and prepared to spread the third cake. Gao said dissatisfiedly, "Are you finished? You haven't opened yet, but you've eaten two." "Don't feel bad about it, it will be deducted from my account when you check out." More and more people came to buy pancakes, Zhong Yuemin was in a hurry, and the pancakes spread out were always broken. He found that he had made a mistake in estimation. This kind of work looks simple, but in fact it still requires a little skill. The people in line got impatient: "Dude, can you do it?" Zhong Yuemin argued: "I have passed it down from my ancestors. Our family is an authentic Muslim who came from the Western Regions. It's just that I haven't worked for many years and my hands are a little raw." Gao couldn't stand it anymore, she pushed Zhong Yuemin aside, and started to do it herself.Her technique is very skilled, and she spreads it quickly and well, and all the customers who lined up were dismissed in a short while. Zhong Yuemin accepted the money in an embarrassing manner, but remained silent. Gao smiled and flicked his forehead with his fingers: "You should be an apprentice with me, and you will be able to talk like a god." Zhang Haiyang was riding by here wearing a police uniform. He suddenly noticed Zhong Yuemin's outfit and couldn't help being shocked. He immediately jumped out of the car and grabbed Zhong Yuemin: "What the hell are you making a fool of yourself? I thought it's fine if you talk about it, no Thinking of you really doing it, why are you fucking sick?" Zhong Yuemin stuffed a pancake into Zhang Haiyang's hand, urging: "Hurry up and pay..." Zhang Haiyang said, "I've already had breakfast." "Then have another one. Let me tell you, you are not allowed to have breakfast at home in the future. I just opened here, so you have to come and support me." Zhang Haiyang took out the money helplessly and said, "Our branch office is right in front, why did you come to set up a stall at the door of our unit?" Zhong Yuemin said in an insatiable way: "You talk to your colleagues, just say that an old comrade-in-arms has just opened a business, and they all come to cheer." "You kid, just add trouble to me. This is an unlicensed operation. How dare you come to the gate of the Public Security Bureau?" "Your Public Security Bureau can't control unlicensed businesses, who are you scaring?" "Then the head of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau can get you? Maybe someday he will copy your shabby stall." "Ocean, it's the first day I open, so you don't have to fuck me."
