Mixed in 1980

Chapter 162 Chen - Fiery Eyes - Min

Xu Jinqiu took a book, made a pot of tea, glanced at her elder sister's room, and raised the corner of her mouth slightly. Someone still overestimated herself and was thinking about good things all day long.

After the first cup of tea, there was still no movement in the room.

Xu Jinqiu frowned slightly. Given her elder sister's temper, she should be furious by now.

What tricks is Chen Fan playing again?

After making another cup of tea and eating a piece of dessert, there was finally movement in the room. It was the sound of Chen Fan screaming and the eldest sister cursing.

After a while, Chen Fan was kicked out.

Seeing his embarrassed look, Xu Jinqiu chuckled and teased, "Comrade Chen Fan, your dream of sleeping with me is still a long way to go, and you have to work hard."

Chen Fan was sullen, and Zeng Ali refused to admit defeat.

He sat down next to Xu Jinqiu, picked up her teacup and took a sip: "How about we wait a while and ask the hotel to send some food over so we can have some drinks in the evening?"

Xu Jinqiu rolled her eyes: "Are you still not giving up?"

Chen Fan nodded, Xu Jinqiu chuckled, got up and went back to the house, and before closing the door, he left a message: "You sleep in the living room tonight!"

After saying that, lock the door!
You still want to sleep in the same quilt with me, so you stay in the living room all night and reflect on yourself.

"..."

Chen Fan was speechless. He turned around and knocked on Zeng Ali's door. A single word came from inside: "Get lost!"

"Is it that serious?" Chen Fan curled his lips.

After sleeping in the living room for a night, Chen Fan got busy again. The publicity and promotion of "Awakening Age" has entered the final stage, and the book has been distributed on a large scale.

Awakening has become a hot topic in Hong Kong!

The property market is locked down. How many people can wake up and find a way out for Hong Kong?

Many people want to find answers in books.

Are there answers in the book?

Some people didn't find the answer, but some did, just like the path that those "gentlemen" finally found.

What Chen Fan didn't know was that far away in the mainland, a group of senior executives were also paying attention to this matter.

Hong Kong is a window to the outside world.

Chen Fan caused such a big fuss that it was hard for the top management not to pay attention. In fact, they paid attention to it when "The Matrix" was promoted.

At that time, I felt that he was a young man who could make a lot of noise, just like when he was in the mainland, every time he wrote an editorial, he could make a big noise.

But just pay attention to it.

After all, it's just to sell books, it's just a business behavior. At most, we can praise him: This young man is very resourceful and has made great use of business methods.

But this time it’s different, the top management is paying close attention.

All along, Britain has been hiding behind the scenes and sucking blood from Hong Kong. The ones who are in the open are the real estate tycoons in Hong Kong. These people are considered to be Britain's dogs and a fig leaf.

The British devils have always maintained a good image in Hong Kong. Even decades later, there is still a group of banana people who miss the British devils.

But through this publicity, Chen Fan directly tore off the fig leaf of the British devils, exposing their ugly blood-sucking appearance to the public.

The image of Britain has plummeted!
It has become popular among the people.

When the top leaders saw this phenomenon, they were overjoyed. The British devils were hiding so deeply, but they were messed up by a young man.

Secondly, "The Awakening Age" has entered Hong Kong. What does the content of the book represent?
These are what the top leaders want to see.

Taking advantage of this incident, the top leaders also took action, allowing some families close to the mainland to fan the flames in public opinion.

The core of the propaganda is consistent with Chen Fan's, which is to discuss the way out for Hong Kong.

The sales of "Awakening Age" have also been rising. By mid-August, the sales of both volumes had exceeded 50 sets, or one million copies.

"Comrade Zeng Ali, the books are selling well, shall we celebrate tonight?" Chen Fan held up a sales report, his brows slightly raised.

The price of each copy of "Awakening Age" is 30 Hong Kong dollars, which is another huge sum of money.

Zeng Ali chuckled, a trace of contempt flashed in his eyes: "You are still unwilling to give up? I think you didn't sleep enough in the living room, continue to sleep at night, and when you give up, you can sleep in the house."

Chen Fan was disappointed. This woman was quite vigilant.

But it’s okay, there’s still a long time to go, and there will be plenty of opportunities. At worst, I can get both wives drunk that day, and sooner or later I’ll be able to realize my dream of sleeping in the same bed.

Seeing his expression, Zeng Ali knew that this man was up to no good, and slapped him again in anger: "We will be back to Beijing tomorrow, be careful when you get home."

Chen Fan hummed, and held his wife in his arms: "After we buy the yard and you guys move out, tell your family members that you have been wronged."

Hearing this, Zeng Ali was stunned.

Her heart warmed, and she kissed him on the lips: "You should tell Qiu'er this. She is the one who is truly wronged."

Chen Fan didn't say anything, but just hugged the girl tightly.

After thinking for a while, he asked, "When you go back, how are you going to tell your family? Every time I ask you, you are so mysterious that I have no idea."

Zeng Ali raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "Don't ask, I won't tell you if you ask. Anyway, this is the best solution. Both my family and Qiu'er's family can accept it."

“……”Chen Fan rolled his eyes.

Where did these two girls get their confidence from? Anyway, I couldn't think of any solution. According to my thinking, getting beaten up was the least I could do.

Who made me lose money?

Everything has its pros and cons. If you make too much money, you will definitely have to pay a corresponding price.

Zeng Ali got up from his arms: "It's almost time to get off work. I'll go home and pack my luggage later to see if there's anything I'm missing. We can go out for a walk in the evening."

"Just get off work, it doesn't matter this little bit of time."

Chen Fan stood up and called Zhao Yuanyuan over. The three of them left work together, officially ending Zeng Ali and Zhao Yuanyuan's assistant career.

Zhao Yuanyuan was undoubtedly happy.

The salary here is very high. The position of assistant to the chairman is equivalent to the vice president level. In one and a half months, Chen Fan directly paid him 30,000 Hong Kong dollars.

In addition, due to the hot sales of "Awakening Age", another bonus of 10,000 yuan was given out.

Received 40,000 Hong Kong dollars!

In addition, Chen Fan also lent her an additional 10 Hong Kong dollars, and she would pay it back with her salary when she came to work in Hong Kong in a while. This money was used to buy a yard with Xu Jinqiu and Zeng Ali.

The three families are already as close as one family, it would be great if they could live together.

Xu Jinqiu and Zeng Aili planned to have both families move out and asked her if she wanted to move in with them. Zhao Yuanyuan agreed without hesitation.

Return home and pack your luggage.

Chen Fan asked again: "Are you missing anything? If you are missing something, go shopping in the evening. If you are not missing anything, don't go out in the evening."

Zhao Yuanyuan shook her head slightly and looked at her elder sister and Qiu'er.

"I've already bought everything I need."

Xu Jinqiu shook her head slightly. The last time she went to Guangzhou, she sent a lot of things back, and then she sent things from Hong Kong twice.

The gifts for each family have already been delivered to them.

There was no need to pack a lot of luggage this time. In each person's suitcase, there was only their own clothes and some small gifts.

"Then don't go out and go to bed early at night."

Chen Fan went to the house opposite and chatted with Professor Cao Weidong for a while. The work of the research group and the publishing house had been completed, and they would go to work at Yipintang Fish Restaurant next.

It will probably take until the end of September to finish the work over there.

"Professor Cao, Sister Ying is a nice person!" After ending the chat, Chen Fan left a message, and Cao Weidong immediately fell into deep thought.

He is not a novice in love, so how could he not see that Li Hongying is interested in him? But is it possible that both parties are interested?
Li Hongying is good-looking, has a good temperament, and is very considerate in her interpersonal relationships. No matter from which aspect you look at her, she is an excellent candidate.

Cao Weidong was also moved.

But the disparity between the two parties' identities is too great.

During this period of time, Cao Weidong also understood that the Li family was one of the richest families in Hong Kong, and he was just a poor professor.

Moreover, one is in Hong Kong and the other is in Beijing.

We are not the same kind of people.

This trip to Hong Kong was just to improve the management model. Cao Weidong never thought of leaving Peking University and developing in Hong Kong, even though the income level here is extremely high.

The next day, Cao Weidong started to work in another place. Chen Fan and his group of four had already boarded the plane and landed in Beijing a few hours later.

"Finally back!"

Facing the sunshine of Beijing, Xu Jinqiu took a deep breath: "Beijing is still comfortable. When I go to Hong Kong next time, I will stay for three to five days at most."

Chen Fan smiled and teased, "Next time we go, we'll buy a villa by the sea, so you won't feel bored living there for a few months."

Xu Jinqiu was stunned for a moment, then started laughing.

If you live by the sea, you won’t get tired of it.

I used to live at Sister Ying’s house, and when I had nothing to do, I liked to go to the beach: “Didn’t you say that the Hong Kong property market was going to collapse? Why are you still thinking about buying a house?”

"It's only when the market crashes that we can buy at the bottom."

Chen Fan had long been eyeing the Hong Kong property market. After the big crash, there was another big surge, which was definitely an investment no less than gold futures.

But there is no rush. The Hong Kong property market has been falling for several years.

Just take your time, there is plenty of time.

"You're already at the doorstep, what are you wasting time on?"

Zhao Yuanyuan snorted for no reason and walked out with her luggage. Chen Fan smiled and quickly followed her and got into a taxi.

Not long after, we returned to Yuer Hutong.

"Uncle, hug me!"

As soon as he entered the house, Nana ran over. Chen Fan quickly picked her up and gave her a big kiss. After more than a month of not seeing her, the little girl had grown a little taller.

It's white and tender, just like a little milk dumpling.

She just doesn't allow people to call her "Nannan" and insists that Chen Fan call her by her name: Zhang Xiaoxi!

This didn't happen in her previous life. She was called Nannan until she graduated from college.

The nickname "Nannan" also has a story. When Chen Min was sent to work in the Northeast, there were many people from the South in the team. One of them had a particularly good relationship with her and even asked Nannan to recognize her as her godmother. The godmother gave her the nickname.

"Zhang Xiaoxi, why can't you call me Nannan?"

Chen Fan was very curious, so Guan Yuemei explained: "When she was playing with the kids in the alley, one of them said that only kids should be called by nicknames, and she was not happy about it."

Chen Fan smiled, caught the little girl and kissed her again, saying lovingly: "From now on, call her Xiaoxi. Our Xiaoxi is a grown-up girl now."

The little girl nodded, very satisfied.

My uncle is still the best. He changes his mind as soon as I ask him to. Unlike my mother, it’s useless to emphasize it several times. He insists on calling me “nannan” and is not obedient at all.

"Brother, where is my gift?"

Chen Yi ran over, hugged his brother's thigh, and blinked his big eyes. Chen Fan couldn't help but roll his eyes: "You only think about the gift, not your brother?"

Chen Yin said, "I want my brother to bring me a gift."

Chen Fan was speechless. This girl was very smart. "They are all in your sister-in-law's box. Go find your sister-in-law. She bought you several toys."

"Sister-in-law, where is my gift?"

"Second sister, third sister, where is my gift?"

The second sister called Zeng Ali, the third sister called Zhao Yuanyuan, and the little girls took the opportunity to take advantage of everyone and didn't intend to let go of any of them.

Chen Fan put Zhang Xiaoxi down and asked her to get the gift.

After receiving the gifts, the two girls were overjoyed and started playing in the living room. The fan was spinning, but the room was still a little hot.

Chen Fan went to move another fan over: "Let's go buy air conditioners tomorrow and install them in every room of the house, otherwise it will be difficult to spend the night."

Hearing this, Guan Yuemei said nothing and slapped her son a few times: "You are really rich, but you don't know what you are. You even installed an air conditioner. Why don't you go to heaven?"

In the 1980s, televisions, refrigerators, and washing machines gradually entered residents' homes, but they were still luxury goods. A middle-level worker would have to go without food or drink for a year to be able to afford a TV.

But compared to televisions, refrigerators and washing machines, air conditioners are the luxury among luxuries.

An air conditioner can cost several thousand or even tens of thousands.

If television is a light luxury, then air conditioning is a high luxury. Even in her dreams, Guan Yuemei has never thought of installing an air conditioner at home.

"Mom, just beat him up."

Zhao Yuanyuan watched from the sidelines, overjoyed: "Chen Fan has forgotten the spirit of hard work of the working people and only wants to enjoy himself."

Guan Yuemei thought it was right and spanked her son a few more times.

Zhao Yuanyuan narrowed her eyes into a line, showing her little fangs, and glared at Chen Fan provocatively. It would be better to go home. It would be easy to deal with Chen Fan.

"..."

Chen Fan wanted to explain, but then he thought better of it. He shouldn't have said anything and could just buy it. This would make it a fait accompli and he would avoid getting beaten up.

In the evening, Chen Min and his wife came back, and the whole family gathered together for dinner, inevitably talking about business matters.

Chen Min's shop now sells not only pickles, but also various agricultural products. It is much better than the previous stall. It's just that it's hard for her brother-in-law Zhang Yunze, who has to go to the countryside to collect the goods every two days.

Guan Yuemei is very satisfied with the situation at home. Not to mention her son, her daughter also has a career now and earns a good income. Most importantly, the whole family is together.

After dinner, they went to the living room to make tea and the whole family gathered together to chat. Zhao Yuanyuan's advantages were reflected again. Her little mouth was so sweet that she made Guan Yuemei smile.

On the contrary, Chen Min remained silent while making tea, with a strange expression on her face. Her eyes would fall on Chen Fan from time to time, and she would frown every time.

It was not until the end of the show that Chen Min said, "Xiao Fan, pay attention. I have some questions for you about opening a store."

"Sister, what's the problem that you want to talk about privately?"

There were only the sister and brother left in the living room. Chen Min looked at her brother suspiciously, suddenly picked up a feather duster, swung it hard, and hit him.

Chen Fan blocked it, and a bloodstain more than ten centimeters long appeared on his arm: "Sister, are you crazy? You hit me without any reason?"

Chen Min gritted her teeth and hit Chen Fan several times in succession, causing him to run away with his head in his hands, screaming in agony, but not daring to fight back: "Sister, what are you doing? You have to let me die with a clear conscience, right?"

"Xiao Min, what are you doing?"

Guan Yuemei came over after hearing the noise, and quickly pulled her daughter and looked at her son: "What are you doing again? Why are you making your sister so angry?"

"..."

Chen Fan rolled his eyes and rubbed the place where he was spanked: "You are really biased. You spanked me without any reason. I want to know why."

Chen Min narrowed her eyes, gritted her teeth and asked, "What's your relationship with Ali?"

Guan Yuemei's eyes flashed coldly, and she took the feather duster from her daughter. From what her daughter said, she thought her son might have done something to let Qiu'er down.

Today, she has to sacrifice her own family for the greater good!
PS: Friends, good luck in the new year, and happy family! In our place, we gather around the fire four times on New Year's Eve, the first day, the ninth day, and the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Is this the same custom for everyone? I will resume posting twice a day tomorrow, and today I will still post one time with 4000 words.
