Reaching for the stars with one hand

Chapter 191
At the end of the game, the result was not too bad. The Michelin team narrowly won by 53 points 51:2.

After listening to the coach's summary, Michelin ran to his parents immediately, and got hugs and blessings from his mother.Zhang Yong resisted the unhappiness in his heart, and still praised Michelin a few words, and then said: "Go, Dad will take you to eat, what do you want to eat?"

Madam looked at the other end of the court, as if he had found something.

The family of three walked towards the gate of the park, but Zhang Yong couldn't help it. He tried to keep his tone as calm as possible, and asked Michelin: "The boy who is facing you is very fierce. He fights harder than you. You seem to be a little afraid of him?"

Sure enough, Madam gave Zhang Yong a hard look. He lowered his head, pretending not to see it, but looked at Michelin seriously.

"Tommy, I'm not afraid of him. We've been singled out a few times, and he's a little stronger, but when I'm as tall as he is, I'm sure I can beat him."

"Oh, you know him."

"Well, we participated in summer camp together. He came back from the United States. He can speak Chinese, but he can't write. He is very competitive, and he has to win every game. He wins a lot in singles, but if he loses a game , will pull me to continue, and must win back.”

"I see you have been refusing to confront him."

"No, he is taller than us. The coach said that if we charge up, none of us can stop him. And he plays aggressively. The harder the confrontation, the stronger he is. So let me avoid irritating him, that is, all kinds of interference. Well, don’t let him use his strength. If he rushes up, let the people behind block him. You see, we won today.”

"That's great, son," Madam patted Michelin's head excitedly, and then turned to Zhang Yong, "I'm so stupid, I get it. Who said that children's basketball doesn't have skills and tactics, it's just about fighting wits and courage."

Zhang Yong, who was wronged, shrugged, "Well, both of you are right, I was wrong, I invite you to dinner at noon."

Madam suddenly pointed forward, "Don't you think Tommy looks like a person?"

Not far away, Tommy was walking ahead with a young mother.Looking at the backs of the two, Zhang Yong suddenly had the same feeling in his heart.He looked at Madam in surprise, and Madam nodded to him.

"Son, that's Tommy. Go over and say hello."

Michelin ran after him, "Tommy!"

Tommy looked back with his mother, "Michelin!"

Zhang Yong saw a very familiar face, Gao Lin.

……

A few people came to a pizzeria. The two children had long forgotten the match on the court. They were eating and chatting, very happy.

And Zhang Yong looked at Gao Lin, and felt a lot of emotion with each other. They didn't expect to meet again because of the child after so many years.

Looking at Gao Lin, Zhang Yong felt many changes.Gao Lin is still beautiful, but she is no longer a young girl, and in Zhang Yong's eyes, Gao Lin feels better now than when she was in Skydon.At that time, she showed her beauty and wisdom to others intentionally or unintentionally all the time.

Whether it's an office, a venue, or a hotel lobby, as long as she appears there, that's her stage.It's just that she is too young. In the eyes of an old fox like Li Wenyu, everything about her is just like a child's trick.Zhang Yong didn't see her in his eyes, but the Madam who met by chance touched Zhang Yong's heart instantly.In Zhang Yong's eyes, Gao Lin who appears by his side every day is more like a beautiful ornament.

Perhaps, her only loyal audience is Tiger, but what she brings to Tiger is not all good.

Today's Gao Lin is obviously much calmer, she is very natural, no longer pretentious.He just looked at Tommy occasionally, with sternness in his kindness.Zhang Yong sighed, he finally understood why Tommy was so competitive.

"This is Tiger...'s son?" Zhang Yong asked cautiously. It has been many years, and it is normal if there is any change between the two.

"What do you think?" Gao Lin asked with a smile.

Madam, who hadn’t seen Tiger much, replied immediately, “It must be. I thought this kid looked familiar just now at the stadium, maybe he doesn’t look that much like him, after all, he looks like his beautiful mother…” Madam said with a smile , "But his expression is too similar to the way he speaks. I kept thinking, who is this? It shouldn't be Michelin's classmate. I've never seen him before. How come his expression is so familiar."

"Is Tiger in China?" Zhang Yong was a little excited, and suddenly wanted to see his former boss.

"Maybe, we meet every month."

Seeing Zhang Yong's expression, Gao Lin smiled.

"Yes, Tiger and I are separated, but we are still together now. It's a long story. I got pregnant not long after I returned to the United States, so I had to temporarily drop out of school..."

"You know, Tiger seems to have a status, but in fact he has no savings. All our expenses before were paid by SKydon. My tuition was taken from Mihe and Tianshi by Tiger using some shady means. of.……"

"His later work was not smooth, because he always tried to find a job that was the same as when he was in Skydon. Skydon compensated him fairly well, but after all, it could not be used for a lifetime. Having a child is expensive and the income is not enough. We started to quarrel, and the more we quarreled, the more fierce it became. Old couples and young wives, this kind of conflict is unavoidable."

Gao Lin spoke very calmly and nonchalantly, as if she was talking about a very common thing, but also as if she was talking about other people's affairs.

"There was too much noise, so we separated, and the children belonged to me. I was studying and working part-time to take care of the children. Tiger should have had a harder life, but every month's support would be called to me on time, otherwise I would not be able to hold on . . . ”

"I don't know if it was because we were separated that we realized each other's goodness. We never remarried. After graduation, I found a job in a communication company. I was officially stationed in China last year, and I brought my children here. Tiger also often Running to China, so we often meet again."

Madam's female sympathy was immediately activated, "They are all single? This is too unfair to you, he is a bad guy,... old man, but you are still young, so beautiful, and have a career, why do you treat yourself like this Woolen cloth?"

Zhang Yong gave Madam a rare look, and the latter punched him quietly in Gao Lin's invisible field of vision.

"No, I don't feel wronged. I'm living a good life now, and I have my son by my side. Of course, I have met suitors, but I haven't found a particularly suitable one, and I often think of Tiger. Life is very strange. At that time , They said that I was with a rich old man, but now they say that he is not good enough for me. In fact, marriage is two people living together, our expectations are too high. "

Zhang Yong didn't know what to say, he wanted to know these stories, but they were not topics he cared about, nor were he good at talking about them.

"Well, it's good, that's it. Yes, yes, what is Tiger doing now?"

"I don't care too much, I know a little bit. He should be doing some chip business."

"Chip?" Zhang Yong's brain circuit was immediately connected. Chip, chip, this is a word he has heard several times a day for half a year. He heard that he was tired, allergic, and even wanted to vomit, but he had to face it. .

"What chip?"

Gao Lin looked at the way Zhang Yong's eyes were shining, and smiled, she said to Madam: "Do you think that after you have been married for so many years, he is still the same as before, and hasn't changed at all."

Madam nodded with a smile, "It's always been like this, but it's okay, this is my favorite look." The words were somewhat smug.

Gao Lin nodded, "I envy you."

"I guess what you've done recently is related to the chip, so sensitive. But you may be disappointed, what Tiger does is different from you, he just does some entrained things..."

"Chips that cost tens of cents, when he brings them to China, he can buy them for tens of dollars each. I saw once that he carried a few test tubes with him, each of which should be able to hold hundreds of chips, and he could carry thousands of chips at a time. In addition to chips, he will also bring some other commodities. The income should be good, but it is actually very hard to fly around every day. Now he has put down the airs of the chief representative. Although he has no money, no status, and is old, but I suddenly felt that he was cuter than when he was young."

Zhang Yong handed over a business card of his own, "Let Tiger contact me, an old friend to catch up on the old days. It's better not to do this kind of chip entrainment. Now that the control is getting stricter, he has done it for more than ten years. It's okay, but it doesn't mean it will be okay now. If he violated the laws of China and the United States at the same time, then I'm afraid there will be no place for him in the world..."

"What I'm doing now actually just needs a variety of chip supplies, so let him cooperate with me. If what he's doing now, if he continues, he will use the formal import and export channels. In order to save a little tax, put himself It's not worth going in, I suppose, and it's not what you expected."

Gao Lin nodded, "I think he also knows that we talked about getting back together, but he didn't agree. Apart from the age factor, I guess he knows that what he is doing is risky, so he doesn't want to involve us. Thank you , Zhang Yong, you have always been helpful, Tiger and I are very grateful to you. Although we have misunderstood you a lot before."

Zhang Yong smiled and said: "Is there? I think you all treated me very well. Although Tiger didn't want me to join SKydon at the beginning, it didn't make things difficult for me at work and gave me a lot of freedom. I should also say Thank you."

"Oh, that's right. If, if you're meeting with Tiger, just you and him, don't call the former SKydon colleagues, I guess he doesn't want to see them."

"I know, Mr. Zhao, Mr. Zhao from Tianshi in the past. Now he is different. He is the boss of Huatai Beidou, a listed company."

Gao Lin looked slightly embarrassed, "Actually, the SKydon colleagues I'm talking about are mainly Li Wenyu and Mr. Zhao. Tiger doesn't want to see them..."

"It's okay to tell you the truth. You should know that something happened to Mr. Zhao's company."

"Of course I know. I saw the whole process, and he almost got stuck and couldn't get out."

Gao Lin smiled wryly, "That was reported by Tiger."

"Ah!" Zhang Yong and Madam's eyes widened at the same time.

"Tiger just left SKydon at that time, but he was very angry. He knew that it was Li Wenyu who sued him with Paul, and he wanted to come back for revenge..."

"Unfortunately, Li Wenyu is very smart. His Mihe has been re-registered long ago, and it is no longer the previous company. Basically, it has been completely whitewashed. The customs did not find out too many problems, just small things, and fined hundreds of thousands. That's all. Tianshi is not Tiger's target, but he never expected that this heavy punch hit Mr. Zhao by mistake...."

"I don't think he wants to do that either. After this incident, he cut off all contact with Skydon. It's not that the communication method was cut off, but that he completely stopped thinking about Skydon..."

"So, if I meet you, I think he is willing. But Mr. Zhao, forget it. He has a knot in his heart."

"That's it." Zhang Yong breathed a long sigh of relief, "I really didn't expect that there is such a story in it."

Zhang Yong thought for a while, and said to Gao Lin: "If you have a chance, explain it to Tiger, and the past will pass. If you really let go, you don't have to feel guilty about these things. In fact, from a certain point of view, what he did This incident actually helped Mr. Zhao..."

"Mr. Zhao was already thinking about making his own GNSS receiver at that time, but the overall environment was not conducive to the development of Chinese manufacturing. However, SKydon's business was still booming, and Skystone's main source of profit was SKydon. Under such circumstances The so-called domestic production is just thinking about it, he can't make up his mind at all and fully invest in it..."

"But because of this incident, there was a big rift between him and SKydon. So in the end, he completely gave up on Tianshi and devoted all his energy and financial resources to domestic production. This is how this year's Huatai..."

"I think, if Tiger really met Mr. Zhao today, Mr. Zhao might say, thank you, and sincerely."

Gao Lin nodded seriously, "Understood. I believe what you said, and I will tell Tiger truthfully. In fact, it is better to wait for you to meet him and tell him directly."

"Okay, I'm looking forward to meeting my former boss. I'm just a little scared. Back then, Tiger was a high-spirited, well-dressed man. He was a very attractive middle-aged man and a successful person. It's not surprising that women like him. When we meet now, I'm afraid..." Zhang Yong suddenly felt a little emotional.

Gao Lin said: "Now, he doesn't care anymore, why should you be afraid?"

"What kind of chips are Tiger importing now?"

"It's mainly communication and optical chips, and there are some materials that are not easy to purchase in China. He has a partner who is an indirect supplier of China Mobile. Recently, this partner approached him and asked a lot about GNSS receivers. . . . ”

"Although Tiger is not considered a technical person, he has been in Skydon for many years and provided a lot of professional information. However, he refused to mention Skydon's name, so he didn't say much."

"China Mobile, GNSS receiver?" Zhang Yong put a question mark in his heart, but he didn't show it, and he didn't continue to ask.

"Things are unpredictable. Tiger has been away for so many years, and I didn't expect to be asked about satellite navigation again. It seems that it is fate, and some things cannot be avoided."

"Yes, it's a small world."

After saying goodbye to Gao Lin and leaving, Madam held Zhang Yong's arm and repeated Gao Lin's words just now, "The world is so small. I didn't expect to meet her here. And your former boss often came to China. … ..."

"I didn't expect Gao Lin to become like this. When I saw her for the first time, she was holding Tiger like me, with a tall look, as if I was beautiful on the left face, and I was beautiful on the right face. I'm rich. But as a mother, I don't see myself at all."

"Yes." Zhang Yong asked, "Do you think she is happier now, or happier then?"

"It's hard to say. I can only say that she is living a good life now and is satisfied with herself. As for being happy, she is not as good as me. I have always been so happy." Madam's arm holding Zhang Yong tightened a little more.

"Well, me too, I'd be happier if you didn't put half your weight on one arm of my body."

……

"Go home? Or go there for a stroll. This weekend, it's rare that you don't work overtime. Don't tell me about work."

"Go home, I don't talk about work. But I want to find out, what is the relationship between China Mobile and GNSS receivers?"
