I'm in the county town, and you say I'm a big shot?

Chapter 631 Li Ye meets his ex-girlfriend Zhang Dongwen
Wang Xing is going to build cars!
This was something Fang Qingye hadn't expected.

However, he also believes that someone like Wang Xing, who holds more than 50 billion yuan in cash, will inevitably stir up a bloodbath in the new energy vehicle sector.

But why did you name your car "Lixiang" (ideal)?!
What is Li Xiang supposed to do?!
It's like taking someone else's path and leaving them with nowhere to go.

Fang Qingye returned to Shanghai on February 4th, which happened to be the day of the Beginning of Spring.

This year's Lunar New Year is relatively late, with Lunar New Year's Eve falling on February 18th. However, Fang Qingye decided to return to Nanxin with Bai Ou earlier to celebrate the New Year.

As the white lotus root grows bigger, it needs to rest more and avoid overexertion.

As for Topway Technology and Tomorrow Cube, Fang Qingye also plans to give employees an earlier holiday this year. On February 12, the day before the Lunar New Year, it was announced that the Spring Festival holiday would begin, and employees in the Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai and Anhui areas could go home to reunite with their families for the Lunar New Year.

If you were a beast of burden for half your past life, then in this life, let others be beasts of burden less.

However, just before leaving Shanghai, I suddenly received a call from Li Ye in western Sichuan. He said that he planned to take his wife and daughter back to his hometown in Zhejiang Province for the Chinese New Year and intended to go to Shanghai first.

His wife, Liu Xigesang, wanted to visit her younger sister, Liu Ximeiduo, who works in Shanghai, and he also wanted to get together with his close classmates, Fang Qingye and Liu Shuai.

Fang Qingye happily agreed.

“Okay, I’ll be waiting for you in Shanghai. It’s been a long time since we last saw each other. Let’s take this opportunity to have a good chat,” Fang Qingye said on the phone.

"Okay, I booked a flight for tomorrow morning, arriving at noon."

“Okay, send me your flight information, and I’ll pick you up,” Fang Qingye said.

"No need, no need, Meiduo said she'd come pick us up."

"Alright then, I'll contact you after you've settled in," Fang Qingye said.

After hanging up the phone, Fang Qingye said to Bai Ou, who was pacing around in the living room with her pregnant belly, "Li Ye and Gesang are taking the baby to Shanghai by plane tomorrow."

Fang Qingye then recounted the contents of the phone call.

"Then let's go back after we see Li Ye the day after tomorrow. I haven't seen Meiduo in a long time either," Bai Ou said.

Liu Ximei took the civil service exam in Shanghai during her senior year of college and eventually got a job at the Civil Affairs Bureau of SJ District, becoming a civil servant.

Her relationship with Huang Hua is now stable, and both sets of parents seem to approve of it. Huang Hua was recruited to work on the AI ​​large-scale model development project at Tomorrow Cube. According to regulations, the company also provided him with an apartment. However, Huang Hua's family already owned a house in Shanghai, but it was in Jing'an District, not Pudong.

Huang Hua renovated the house the company gave him and suggested that Mei Duo move in as well. However, Mei Duo felt that it was too far from her workplace and that her daily commute was too long. So, she rented a small apartment not far from her workplace. They were busy with their own things during the week and lived together on weekends.

This time, when Meiduo goes to pick up her sister and brother-in-law, she will definitely ride in Huang Hua's car.

Since she wasn't going back to Nanxin tomorrow, Fang Qingye decided to go fishing.

Fang Qingye hadn't been able to go fishing during his time in the US, and after only a few days back, he was busy dealing with the crisis facing ByteDance, so he rarely had the chance to go fishing. He had been itching to go for a long time.

Of course, I'd have to ask my wife for leave.

"Go ahead." Bai Ou was very understanding; she could comprehend her husband's feelings.

He doesn't smoke, gamble, or visit prostitutes; he's already a good man.

There's also a bank manager named Xia outside.
Well, I've already accepted it. Besides, Xia He isn't planning to come back from the US, so I only see her a few times a year.

"But I'll accompany you for a walk," Fang Qingye hesitated.

Now, taking a walk with my wife every day has become an unwavering routine.

"I'll have my mom come with me."

"Okay, I'll call Yue Kai."

Since Fang Qingye stayed in Shanghai for a long time, Yue Kai didn't like staying in hotels, so he rented a small apartment near the neighborhood so he could cook for himself and sometimes even bring his wife and children to Shanghai for weekends.

Of course, Fang Qingye paid the rent out of her own pocket.

The next day, Fang Qingye excitedly took a car to Dianshan Lake early in the morning, and did not forget to invite Shi Guangrong along.

As the two fished and chatted, a plane bound for Shanghai from Chengdu landed smoothly at Hongqiao Airport. Li Ye, holding his daughter's hand, followed by his wife dragging a suitcase, exited the terminal.

"Sister, brother-in-law!" A girl ran over with a smile.

It was Liu Ximeiduo.

Today, Liu Ximeiduo was wearing a light yellow down jacket, a knitted skirt, and snow boots, looking every bit the urban girl. The only thing that hadn't changed was her dreadlocks.

She rushed into her sister's arms and gave her a big hug.

"You're a grown woman now, why are you still like this?" Gesang affectionately patted his younger sister's hair.

After hugging her sister, she sweetly called him "brother-in-law" and then picked up her sister's daughter.

"Wow, you've grown taller in just six months, Little Snow Lotus."

"Auntie," the little girl called out sweetly to Meiduo.

Li Ye named his daughter Li Xuelian. The name Xuelian not only means "snow lotus" in Chinese, but also means "enlightenment" or "Bodhi" in Tibetan.

At this moment, Huang Hua came up and greeted them with a smile: "Brother Li Ye, Sister Gesang." He also took the suitcase from Gesang's hand.

Li Ye naturally had no objections to his future brother-in-law.

He knew that his sister-in-law was different from her older sister; she preferred big city life and thought it would be good for her to find a wealthy man and live a life of comfort and ease.

There are many ways to live life. Just like him and his wife, who stayed in a rural primary school in the mountains to teach and live, they didn't feel much boredom or monotony.

Life is short, only a few decades; just be happy.

After leaving the waiting hall, everyone got into a Tesla. Li Ye heard that it was a new energy vehicle and very popular among young people in Shanghai.

Meiduo told me that Huang Hua's Model S was imported.

Everyone got into the car, and Huang Hua drove straight to the city center.

"Brother-in-law, sister, I'll take you to your hotel first. After lunch, you can go shopping on the Bund and the Oriental Pearl Tower. Tonight, I've booked your classmate reunion at the Wangjiang Pavilion in the Shanghai World Financial Center, where you can have dinner while enjoying a bird's-eye view of the Huangpu River at night."

"Tomorrow we'll take you to the City God Temple and Yu Garden. You're going back to Zhejiang Province the day after tomorrow, so how about we take Xue Lian to Disneyland?" Huang Hua said as he drove.

"Disney is out of the question. Xue Lian is still too young, let's talk about it next time. I'm always making you spend money." It was Liu Xigesang who spoke.

Before we left, my younger sister Meiduo said that Huang Hua and I would cover all the expenses for our trip to Shanghai, so we shouldn't worry about it.

In fact, Gesang knew that his younger sister had just started working and her monthly salary was only a few thousand yuan. She could barely make ends meet on her own, and her parents even helped pay her rent. Where would they get extra money to let her stay in luxury hotels and have lavish meals?

The money actually came from Huang Hua.

According to Meiduo, Huang Hua doesn't use any of his family's money now. His salary is already very high. Fang Qingye gave him an annual salary of 50 yuan and an apartment in Pudong.

Li Ye's family stayed at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Shanghai International Financial Center, above which was Tuofang Technology Company. After having dinner and resting briefly, Huang Hua and Mei Duo took Li Ye's family to stroll along the Bund.

Liu Xigesang was visiting Shanghai for the first time. She held her daughter's hand and listened to her sister introduce the sights, while Li Ye followed behind.

He had been to the Bund countless times.

Back when I was a student at Shencai University, I often came here to hang out with my ex-girlfriend Zhang Dongwen.

He wasn't particularly interested in this place, but the girl enjoyed strolling hand-in-hand along the Huangpu River.

As he walked and looked around, he noticed that the place was almost unchanged from five years ago, but the woman by his side was no longer the somewhat quiet girl from Shandong Province.

Things are wrong.

His gaze wandered aimlessly through the crowd, then suddenly fixed on a young woman across the pedestrian walkway.

It was Zhang Dongwen!
