Return to the exciting era of 1999

Chapter 1909 Returning to the old place
Later, when the custody of Ran Bo and his men was over, Hu Xinyu got the news. As for Ji Donglai, was he sitting together with these real bigwigs from Central Asia, eating and drinking?

It was still the same old stuff, local fruits, yogurt, roasted lamb, shrimps, carrots, tomatoes and onions mixed together, sprinkled with pepper and salt... basically no different from any other wealthy business gathering.

The thing that Ji Donglai couldn't stand the most was that the other party didn't know that Ji Donglai didn't like fennel, so they sprinkled some on every kind of food. The smell could be smelled by pinching your nose, but Ji Donglai had to eat it without feeling nauseous and vomiting.

"Boss Ji, we've finally got you!"

As usual, Ji Donglai handed over all the business here to Hu Xinyu. As the contract was transmitted over, Hu Xinyu handled it overnight.

Ji Donglai and his team went to the border under the escort of the Ji'an Joint Forces. When Ji Donglai arrived at the Tajik border, Hu Xinyu had completed all the procedures and the funds had arrived in an Italian bank.

"It's okay. Some things are inappropriate for you to do. The old guys are too hypocritical and have no good intentions towards us Chinese girls. Let's go meet some old friends!"

Hugging Hu Xinyu tightly, Ji Donglai joked.

In recent years, Hu Xinyu has been in charge of the entire Central Asia to Europe section, and is now doing very well.

This was just a simple thing done by Ji Donglai, which was considered as a supplement to Hu Xinyu's business. Although it was just a small attempt, it added an important part to Hu Xinyu's business.

Hu Xinyu has been working hard for three years with little success.

Ji Donglai's words seemed unintentional, but Hu Xinyu heard something different. After all, this area had been handed over to her for so many years, and she was still relying on Ji Donglai's old foundation.

He opened the car door for Ji Donglai without leaving any trace, and several people changed cars to cross the border. A few people were left behind to handle the formalities for the rest of the convoy and conduct inspection and repairs at the maintenance station.

Bangui knew that Ji Donglai was coming and made preparations early. Unlike the shabby place before, the gate of the fertilizer factory alone is now made of a whole piece of marble.

During the process of transporting the stone from its place of origin to here, ten houses were demolished and three bridges were built, and the cost alone far exceeded the value of the stone itself.

The font above was blue-green, a look that Ji Donglai would never dare to use in his dreams.

The old Soviet-style office building has been renovated and expanded three times in size. Trucks pulling fertilizer from the factory are parked on the concrete floor. Workers are drinking tea and playing cards, and some are playing with their cell phones.

"My good friend, I have been waiting for you here for several years, and I have always hoped that you would come to our place. Come soon..."

Benji's size has also increased three times compared to before, especially his belly. Ji Donglai seriously suspects that he can't see his penis when he lowers his head.

From a distance, the other person looked like a potato with four toothpicks stuck in it and a red face.

"Old friend, you're busy making money all day, why don't you come to our country and take a look around? I'll introduce you to some good projects. I heard that your current wife is younger than your granddaughter. You're so lucky, hahaha..."

The two became familiar with each other, and as men they could never stop joking about this.

To everyone's surprise, Benji took Ji Donglai's hand and suddenly made a wrestling gesture.

Ji Donglai reacted in a stressful manner, and the two men hugged each other's shoulders and began to wrestle. Ran Bo waved his hand and asked everyone to move aside.

Bangji's weight was at least three times that of Ji Donglai, so it was a bit difficult for Ji Donglai to wrestle him. If he used Sanda tactics, he could knock him down by simply retreating, but that would make the locals look down on him.

Ji Donglai gritted his teeth and exerted force with his arms, while Benji also tried hard to arch forward.

"Hi!"

Ji Donglai used his arms and waist to exert force at the same time, and threw Benji directly to his left side.

“Bang!” “Fuck, a fat guy is so agile. I won’t play anymore. Benji, you are the most agile fat guy in the world, hahahaha…”

Ji Donglai didn't use his full strength, giving Bangji a chance. Bangji took a side step and stood firmly, immediately indicating that he couldn't beat him. Bangji also laughed and signaled to throw Ji Donglai, and both sides immediately relaxed.

"Ji, you are in great shape. Find two more wives here. Your Uzbek wife is pregnant. A man can't be idle. Hahaha..."

Holding Ji Donglai's arm, the two walked into the reception canteen side by side.

Because Ji Donglai set up a Chinese restaurant here when he first started cooperating with Bangi, and until now, the old engineers from Yexian Fertilizer Plant occasionally come here to provide technical services.

So the Chinese food here is not bad, especially Henan cuisine.

The chef is an engineer from Ye County. He fell in love with a local girl. The local parents agreed, so he stayed here and now has three children.

The other party's salary is that of a Chinese engineer. It is not difficult to raise a child locally, and the child is white and plump.

"Boss Ji, this is the shallot you like."

The chef personally served Ji Donglai the dish, using Northeastern soybean paste and Chinese shallots grown here.

"Work hard. You are here to represent Xiaojuan. Help our friends make the fertilizer and let the world know that we Chinese can make friends. Well done... This is for the child!"

As he spoke, Ji Donglai took out a handful of money and gave it directly to the young man. Ji Donglai remembered this young man. That year, the young man's entire family was involved in preventing the fertilizer factory from being demolished.

Hu Lijuan listened in on Ji Donglai's entire plan for her. Now her whole family is here. Her parents are running a Chinese supermarket, and her eldest child will return to China to study in a few years.

The young man is a well-known person in the local area, and his father-in-law's family also have status in the local area. All of this is thanks to Hu Lijuan.

The other party and his classmates were assigned to several fertilizer factories in the country. Many of them have now been laid off. They cannot support their wives and children and have to divorce and work hard.

It was because Ji Donglai and Hu Lijuan carried out industrial transfer in advance and arranged reasonable jobs for these people that they were able to get such good results.

"Thank you, Mr. Ji. Our whole family and everyone at Ye County Cement Factory would like to thank you and your family, Secretary Xiao Hu. If it weren't for her, all of us would have been laid off long ago."

"My parents go home every year to pay tribute to Secretary Hu. How could such a good cadre die so early? Our family now has a tablet dedicated to Secretary Hu. Tell me what you want to eat and I'll make it for you."

The chef was also a sentimental man, and tears came to his eyes as he spoke.

Benji didn't understand what was going on, so the translator whispered in his ear. Benji then learned that Ji Donglai's wife, Hu Lijuan, who was the cadre who facilitated this project, had passed away a long time ago.

"Ji, I'm sorry, I didn't know your Chinese wife was gone. She was such a great person, she built a bridge between our two countries. If I knew, I would definitely go and pay my respects in person..."

Speaking of Hu Lijuan, Benji also felt uncomfortable.

The other party clearly remembered the huge resistance encountered when dismantling the fertilizer plant, and even more so the cement plant.

Hu Lijuan stood alone in the crowd with a loudspeaker in her hand. Facing the excited workers, there was no fear in her eyes.

At that time, Benji was very surprised that a woman who looked so weak could stand so tall and talk to so many people taller than her with such a powerful voice.
