I have ten trillion licking dog gold

Like semiconductors, automobile manufacturing, petrochemicals and steel, the shipbuilding industry is one of Goryeo's core industries and has long been ranked first in the world.

Although it has now been overtaken by Shenzhou, its technology is still at the world's cutting-edge level and remains competitive in the high-end ship market.

The virtual economy is a castle built of sand. It looks good and is quick to build, but it cannot withstand the test of wind and rain. Although he grew up in the new era, for some reason, Jiang Chen still adheres to the ideas of the older generation in his heart and insists that only industry can make a country prosperous.

Entering the shipbuilding field can not only extend its reach, but also learn Goryeo's core technology and make up for its shortcomings.

True.

The trilateral agreement is pending, but it's just as he said.

The Five Star Group is a Korean enterprise. What does it have to do with the five-star red flag?

Training troops in Burma, selling luxury goods in France, researching machine tools in Japan, building ships in Korea... In the future, it is not impossible to go to the United States to compete in military industry.

of course.

Someone shouldn't have such big ambitions.

A B2 bomber costs 20 billion US dollars, but he only has a few coins.

In the Afang Palace, Boss Jiang was adjusting his clothes in front of the mirror when there was a knock on the door.

The Purple-Robed Dragon King walked in.

It's just a code name.

The four Dharma protectors are all real men.

"Mr. Jiang, the cake has arrived."

The Purple-Robed Dragon King, who was given this code name when he was selected to serve as a general, was holding a plain twelve-inch cake in his hand.

Ok.

Birthday Cake.

Jiang Chen finally straightened his collar. The setting sun was hanging outside the window, and it was almost time.

"Set off."

The location where Yang Qing drew her hair was in the fifth ring, and it was almost in the sixth ring if it went a little further out. Jiang Chen was not surprised at all.

People are different from him.

They are public servants, receiving salaries paid by taxpayers. They may have to take the lead in doing charity work every month. How can they afford a corrupt lifestyle full of delicacies from land and sea?

Besides, it's my personal birthday tonight, so I can't use official money to get it reimbursed. If I choose one of those high-end places and accidentally spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on a meal, who will pay for it?

Are they treating?

That wouldn't be bribery.

He only spent 500 yuan on a 12-inch cake, which is quite affordable considering the prices in Kyoto.

Boss Jiang is always obsessed with details.

Han’s small canteen.

Not only is it far away, but the name of the restaurant is also quite down-to-earth. The decoration of the door is simple and plain, giving Jiang Chen the feeling of returning to a small restaurant in Shacheng.

When he walked inside, he didn't find anything special. The counter was right next to the door, and the boss had disappeared. The menu was written on a blackboard hanging on the wall. He took a deliberate glance and got a general idea of ​​the consumption here.

The average cost per person is about two hundred at most. If Teacher Cao also comes, the cost of tonight's meal will probably not exceed four figures.

For a civil servant of this level, a four-digit birthday party is definitely not considered extravagant.

It’s just that Jiang Chen is curious.

Will that person come?

of course.

It didn't make much difference to him whether he came or not.

He had probably heard something about the story between Cao Xiuge and Yang Qinghua. From an outsider's perspective, they were a perfect match, but Jiang Chen was not a good person.

He had a clear understanding that for some things, it was okay to watch the "fun" but one must never get involved. Otherwise, instead of pulling the red line, one would pull the neutral line and the live line, and the tens of thousands of volts of high voltage would burn oneself to a crisp first.

It was close to seven o'clock, lunchtime, and the business of this small canteen was pretty good. So good that when Jiang Chen walked in, not even a waiter came to serve him, not to mention the boss.

Don't even say it.

This makes some people today feel a little bit uncomfortable.

But I don't mind. As a small business, I have to cut costs and can't hire too many people. It's normal to be too busy when business is good.

Jiang Chen, who was ignored, continued to walk inside with the cake. After all, the place was not big, with only one floor, so it was not difficult to find it.

The four Dharma Kings will definitely not follow in and will stay outside.

Yang Qinghua deliberately chose such a faraway place to celebrate his birthday, simply to keep a low profile. Otherwise, if he wasn't careful he might be photographed, which, although not troublesome, would inevitably ruin the mood of his birthday.

Many people now have cameras on their heads.

"Oh, new leather shoes. They can even be used as reflectors."

Before Jiang Chen could find the location, he ran into Cao Jinse on the way.

What is fate?

This is called fate!
Ok.

In fact, this is the only way.

Princess Cao must have just gone to the bathroom. There were still water stains on her hands, and she deliberately shook them towards Jiang Chen.

Maybe it was the influence of the environment, or maybe it was because today was a special day, Princess Cao was very different from her usual solemn self. Looking at someone who was "dressed up", the corners of her mouth slightly raised were full of... cute childishness.

The painting "You, My Deskmate" was still effective.

At least he doesn't look so angry anymore.

"The hairstyle is not quite there yet, are you out of hair wax at home?"

Jiang Chen ignored her and looked her up and down calmly, and finally gave his evaluation: "You look very beautiful today."

Cao Jinse, who had expected that his opponent would not be able to produce ivory and had been prepared, was stunned.

Why don't you play by the rules?
Such an ordinary compliment, without any highlights at all, should be a tactic that was eliminated by the previous generation, but it made her seem a little... embarrassed?
Princess Cao, who was wearing a short-sleeved casual shirt, pencil pants and brown mules, and who was clearly not dressed up, shook her hands and had no expression.

"You seem to have poor eyesight."

Most people may not understand, but Jiang Chen is so smart that he understood it instantly and made amends immediately: "I mean, you are particularly beautiful today."

It is useless to mend the fold after the sheep have been stolen.

Cao Jinse walked past him without saying a word.

Jiang Chen followed with the cake.

"Is your brother here?"

Cao Jinse said calmly: "Call me Teacher Cao."

Jiang pretended not to hear and said, "Director Yang said your brother will come."

"I don't know if he'll come."

"You weren't with him?"

Cao Jinse tilted her head, "It seems that it's not my brother who's having a birthday today?"

"Just asking, aren't your brother and Director Yang very familiar with each other?"

Cao Jinse suddenly became serious, "Don't talk nonsense later."

This is definitely a friendly reminder.

Jiang Chen raised his hand, made a gesture of understanding, and changed the subject, "By the way, how old is Director Yang this year?"

"How do you feel?"

"It shouldn't be 36."

According to the customs and habits of China's traditional culture, thirty-six years old is a hurdle in life and should be celebrated with rituals rather than celebrations.

"I don't know why she invited you."

"Maybe she doesn't have many friends." Someone responded seriously.

"How can you be considered a friend if you don't even know her age?"

A private room appeared a few steps away.

Princess Cao was indeed a person with a sharp tongue but a soft heart. Although she was sarcastic, she still announced before entering the house: "Thirty-three."

Thirty-three.

It feels pretty much the same.

In fact, it’s not that big at all.

Nowadays, many people in big cities are still on the road to finding their own way, let alone starting a family and a career at this age.

Jiang Chen followed into the private room.

"Sister Qinghua, happy birthday."

Although she was the birthday girl, Yang Qinghua did not dress up deliberately. A mature woman never relies on her appearance to create charm. The extraordinary temperament on her body is better than any luxury goods. Seeing Jiang Chen enter the room, she quickly stood up.

"You are not a child anymore, why buy a cake?"

"Sister Qinghua, is it possible that it's because the cake is cheap?" Princess Cao knew how to liven up the atmosphere.

"Nonsense. Today is Sister Qing Hua's 33rd birthday. How could I be so cheap? I even bought animal cream on purpose."

Jiang Chen argued convincingly and put the cake on the table.

Thirty-three years old?

How did he know?
Yang Qinghua immediately glanced at Cao Jinse who was acting nonchalant, and then looked at Jiang Chen with a faint smile, "Why don't you call me Director Yang?"

"It's time to get off work. Sister Qing Hua is now a member of the people just like us."

“When I get off work, I am part of the people, but you are not.”

Because it was his birthday, he didn't care. Yang Qinghua said, "Sit down." There were four chairs at the round table, and several of the guests had already answered.
"Teacher Cao hasn't arrived yet?" Jiang Chen asked naturally.

"I just called him. Something urgent happened at school and I was delayed for a while. I'm on my way now."

Not love.

That's friendship too.

No matter how cold they are, it is impossible that they have no feelings at all. Yang Qinghua is 33 years old today, which means that the two have known each other for at least 20 to 30 years.

How many twenty or thirty years are there in a lifetime?

"Although the environment of this restaurant is not very good, the food is okay. I have eaten here many times. Do you mind?"

"understand."

Someone replied inexplicably.

"What do you understand?"

Cao Jinse couldn't help but ask.

Yes.

When someone asks you if you mind, what does it mean if you reply with "I understand"?
"Don't you know that the civil service has started to see a large-scale salary cut? Sister Qing Hua's salary should have been affected as well."

"..."

"..."

Looking at the serious guy, Yang Qinghua and Cao Jinse fell silent at the same time.

What I fear most is the sudden silence in the air.

"Sister Qinghua, why did you ask him to do that?" Cao Jinse turned her head.

Today’s birthday boy sighed, “If he doesn’t come, your brother, as a man, probably won’t come either.”

Can this be said directly?

I don't treat someone as an outsider at all.

No matter how he tried to comfort himself, Comrade Jiang Chen couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable after hearing this.

Could it be that I am just here to make up the numbers?
If he had known this, he would definitely not have come.

"Sister Qing Hua, it's a bit hurtful when you say that."

The two women focused their attention.

"Have it."

Cao Jinse shrugged, her expression today very rich, "So what."

"Then I'll take the cake back."

"puff."

Yang Qinghua covered her mouth, she really couldn't help but smile. A woman who loves to smile, even if she is 33 years old, is very beautiful.

"Stop playing double game, both of you. Open it. I haven't eaten cake in a long time."

"Don't wait for Teacher Cao?" Jiang Chen asked.

"Who made him late?"

Yang Qinghua's face was stern, but then he quickly thawed, "Such a big cake, are you still worried that the three of us will finish it?"

Also.

Jiang Chen stood up and unpacked.

"Wait a minute."

Seeing this guy holding a knife and about to cut directly, Cao Jinse couldn't help but stop him, "Sister Qinghua hasn't made a wish yet."

Almost forgot.

"Excuse me."

Jiang Chen immediately put down the knife and inserted the candle instead. At this time, the door of the box was pushed open from the outside.

"elder brother."

Cao Jinse turned around and shouted.

"You have to make me wait for you today, even though it's my birthday?"

Yang Qinghua complained with a smile.

"Teacher Cao."

Jiang Chen stood by the table and greeted them.

Cao Xiuge nodded to him, and then said to today's birthday boy: "I told you not to wait for me."

Cao Jinse, who had been quite lively just now, became reserved at this moment.

"I didn't want to wait. You just happened to catch up this time."

As she spoke, Yang Qinghua looked at Jiang Chen again and said with a smile, "Go on."

Jiang Chen said nothing, and silently put the candle that he had not had time to put back in the center of the cake.

"Is it time to make a wish?"

Yang Qinghua asked with a smile.

"Ah."

Jiang Chen lit the candle.

The flickering candlelight was reflected in four pairs of eyes.

"Sister Qinghua, make a wish."

Yang Qinghua stared at the burning candle, silently expressing her wish for her 33rd birthday in her heart. After a few seconds, she took a deep breath, bent down, and blew out the candle.

"What wish did Sister Qing Hua make?"

Cao Jinse opened her mouth and asked a question that someone else had not dared to ask.

But how can someone of his age be so shallow if he can achieve such a level?

"The country is peaceful and the people are prosperous."

Comrade Jiang Chen immediately stood up.

"I believe!"

Princess Cao glared at him, "Who doesn't believe it?"

"Cut the cake."

Unnecessary flattery may cause someone on the horse's leg to immediately pick up a knife.

Each person was given a small piece symbolically, just for the sense of ceremony.

We still have to eat next.

Jiang Chen didn’t know whether Cao Jinse gave a gift or not, because it was later. But after eating the cake, Cao Xiuge actually took out the gift he had prepared.

It's a pen.

"Brother, this is a huge investment. You should get a month's salary, right?"

Jiang Chen couldn't help but cough lightly.

Who told him not to talk nonsense before entering the door?

The officials are allowed to set fires, but the common people are not allowed to light lamps.

"More than a month."

Cao Xiuge responded calmly.

It turns out that the talent for comedy is also hereditary.

"Okay, your brother is so generous for once. Have you ever seen him give me a gift in all these years? Jinse, don't feel bad about it. You can't make enough money."

As he spoke, Yang Qinghua put the pen back into the box and put it away carefully.

Such a high-ranking official actually cares so much about a pen.

An honest official.

"Sister Qinghua misunderstood. Jinse was worried that you might violate discipline. If someone with ulterior motives exposed you and accused you of accepting bribes, that would be bad."

Don’t grab any!

Comrade Jiang Chen has proved through his actions that he is the chosen comedian!

Cao Jinse couldn't help but look at him, her words froze and the corners of her mouth trembled.

Yang Qinghua leaned back in his chair, his eyes moving across the faces of the three people, as if he suddenly realized something.

"You three have discussed this, right? If you don't want to give a gift, you can just not give it. If you give it and want to take it back, there's no such thing. You have the face, but you haven't spent any money. You treat me like a three-year-old child."

The eight of them looked at each other.

then.

Including Cao Xiuge.

The two men and two women in the private room all laughed at the same time.

Anyway, the door was closed, so no one heard it and no one knew it.

sometimes.

Being able to laugh heartily without any scruples is already a very happy thing.
