Rebirth: My 80s

Chapter 1232 Returning to China
Afternoon, Zhukovsky Airport, suburbs of Moscow.

The autumn wind is blowing, and the outdoor temperature is already winter in many places.

Two black Volga sedans led the way, followed by two others, with two brand new, shiny black Mercedes-Benz S600s of the same model "sandwiched" in between, forming a convoy that slowly drove into the bustling, noisy airport area where few people could be seen.

Since falling into an economic crisis, the country has often used surplus military supplies to exchange daily necessities with foreign countries. As a result, Zhukovsky Airport, one of the four airports in Moscow but the only one that has not yet opened civil aviation business, has gradually evolved into an official trading center due to its convenient transportation and a large number of warehouses.

The noise in my ears mainly comes from the roar of vehicles loading and unloading goods.

Inside the airport, there was a white passenger plane that was very different from the other military-painted aircraft, at least from the outside. There were some paintings on the plane that were not obvious to the general public, but there was no airline logo.

The convoy drove to the bottom of the "white passenger plane" and stopped. The big men in the four Volga cars in front and behind got out first. Without anyone's instructions, they took their positions skillfully and stood guard around them.

Three men walked out from the back seats of the two S600s.

Li Jiankun's trip couldn't be any more low-key. He had already said goodbye in the red house and refused to let Ayan, Suwa and others come to see him off. However, these two people could not be driven away and insisted on seeing them off. Li Jiankun suspected that they wanted to show off their newly bought car.

This Mercedes-Benz flagship model with a car phone is very popular all over the world today. It seems embarrassing to call yourself a tycoon if you don't have one in your garage.

These two guys can be considered true tycoons.

In the past year, although the two of them were not seen in public, logistical work was often the hardest and most tiring, so they were naturally indispensable when it came to rewarding people for their contributions.

Among the companies that were "exchanged" for securities, there were several department stores and hotels in Moscow. Li Jiankun asked Suwa to "package" them and set up two new companies as a reward to them.

So at least in this city, now one of them deserves the title of department store tycoon and the other deserves the title of hotel tycoon.

They are basically connected to this city in this life and cannot lose it.

Not to mention Jin Biao, he had been dating a foreign girlfriend for several years. The girl was very smart, pretended not to know many things, never made a fuss, and won Jin Biao's heart. The only thing missing was the formality of a wedding banquet.

Chen Yajun, who took advantage of his influence this year, was also a frequent guest at various high-class gatherings. He slept with the young lady and the little princess and got the little daughter of a general pregnant. Chen Yajun, who was happy to be a father, was a little panicked and ran to ask Li Jiankun what to do. Li Jiankun kicked him directly, so the guy cried and said, "Isn't it okay for me to take responsibility?"

Li Jiankun has seen the girl before. She has fair skin, beautiful looks and long legs. She looks like a porcelain doll. It's really a bargain for this bastard.

"Boss, even though I've sent you a thousand miles away, we will have to say goodbye."

"Have a safe journey, don't worry..."

"Get lost!" Li Jiankun said unhappily.

The two guys started arguing again, one asked if you knew how to speak, and the other said it was you who started to speak in a flowery way first.

Li Jiankun was not surprised and just pretended they didn't exist. He motioned Fugui to take the luggage and his eyes fell on several neatly dressed flight attendants who were walking towards him. They were all old acquaintances. After not seeing them for a few days, the girls looked more pleasing to the eye, mainly because their breasts were all plump. Just as he was about to make a joke about whether they were just being lazy, since they were responsible for all the "housework" on the plane, he heard a faint quarrel in his ears.

The reason why Li Jiankun had to follow the sound was that he heard Chinese.

Chen Yajun and Jin Biao also tilted their heads to look for it, and were a little surprised at the height.

Unlike the other three airports in Moscow, there are no passengers here because civil aviation has not yet been opened.

Li Jiankun opened his eyes wide, looking stunned. He actually saw a familiar figure, as if...

"Boss, isn't that Miss Zhong?"

"Yes, Boss, it's Zhong Ling! What a coincidence?"

Is there really "fate" in this world?

Sometimes it's hard to tell.

It was a hangar at nine o'clock. A group of people were walking out of the dimly lit space. To be precise, there were two groups of people. The Russians were walking fast, and there were two people in military uniforms. The villagers were "broken" into two groups. One group followed behind and started arguing, blaming each other. There were also a few people jogging to stop the Russians. Zhong Ling was among them, bending over repeatedly, as if to apologize, begging the Russians to stop and have a good talk.

Looking at the girl wearing a black woolen coat, carrying a briefcase of the same color, and with slightly curly hair tied into a neat ponytail at the back of her head, Li Jiankun's thoughts were inexplicably pulled back to the past.

The first girl he had ever loved in his life, even though it was in his previous life.

It was obvious that his vision was correct, the girl was very beautiful, and her facial features could be described as exquisite.

He once thought that this girl was extremely bad!

Later he realized that many things were not as they seemed.

Zhong Ling’s goodness is also flawless.

Suddenly thinking back, what had he given Zhong Ling? Nothing, nothing in two lifetimes. This girl loved herself very much and had a strong sense of self-esteem. Everything she had today was the result of her own hard work. On the contrary, she had helped him a lot.

Not to mention others, even Xu Qingyou thought she was the best girl and wanted to marry her. In fact, Li Jiankun understood that Xu Qingyou wanted to marry her, and there was nothing bad in his mind. He just told him that just to make him unhappy.

Zhong Ling, Zhong Ling Liu Xiu.

True to its name.

"Boss?"

"Let's take a look?"

As soon as Li Jiankun raised his foot, the special agents moved first. This large group of people rushed over. Naturally, the people on the hangar side noticed it quickly. When they saw the face of the person walking in the center of the crowd, who was surrounded by everyone, both sides were stunned at the same time.

It goes without saying how famous Li Jiankun's face is in the country.

In today's Russia, it is actually no less powerful.

If he hadn't specifically instructed the special agents to contact the airport, there would definitely be more than just his private plane crew waiting at the bottom of the gangway before he got off the car.

The Russian men, who had originally had stern faces, immediately put on smiling faces one by one, and unconsciously lowered their waists a few inches. The leader rushed to greet them, and before he arrived, he had already arrived. He said that he had actually heard some news today, but had also been told not to disturb them, so he did not greet them, and he was very sorry.

Li Jiankun had no idea who he was.

A group of fellow villagers, including Zhong Ling, did not step forward at the first time. They all looked a little confused. Obviously, they did not expect to meet Li Jiankun here.

The girl's long eyelashes fluttered, and a strand of black hair was blown by the wind and caught her face. She didn't feel it at all, and the emotions revealed in her eyes were very complicated.

It had been some time since the two of them last parted, and it was quite awkward.

In a hotel in Northeast China, Zhong Ling plucked up her courage and took off all her clothes. At that time, Li Jiankun was not married yet.

But Li Jiankun ran away.

"Miss Zhong, why are you here?"

"What happened?"

The two generals asked Zhong Ling this question, and the people here understood why. There was a bald middle-aged man among the villagers. He was Zhong Ling's immediate superior and had heard some of the stories. He came to Zhong Ling and asked in a surprised voice: "Do you really know Li Jiankun?"

Zhong Ling nodded slightly.

The middle-aged man felt that he should be nicer to Zhong Ling in the future. Oh no, it can’t be just a little.

After briefly shaking hands with the Russian leader, Li Jiankun walked over to Zhong Ling and asked with a smile, "What's wrong?"

"A little thing."

"Do you need my help?"

"We can handle it."

"You...are still the same as before."

Before Zhong Ling could continue to say anything, the leader of the Russian team came over and waved his hand cheerfully, "So Miss Zhong is Mr. Li's friend. That's fine, then. We'll do as you say..."

The fellow villagers were stunned.

It’s not like what Zhong Ling said, it’s just a small matter.

Otherwise, it is the Russian side that is short of supplies, and they are the ones who have the goods. How dare the Russian side get so angry and not listen to them at all?

They were from a trading unit in the northeast and had reached a deal with the Russian side earlier. The Russian side urgently needed a batch of cold-proof supplies to cope with the extreme cold weather that had arrived early in the northern Yakutia and Verkhoyansk regions. However, there were quality problems with this batch of supplies.

To use the words of the Russian side that were used earlier: "This fake and shoddy product does not provide the warmth it is supposed to provide. Are you playing with the lives of our people?!"

This is a big deal.

Therefore, the Russian side was very angry. Not only did they refuse to make a deal, they also righteously demanded compensation. On the one hand, their trust was betrayed, and on the other hand, even if another batch of supplies was delivered, the northern region would inevitably suffer a disaster because key cold-proof supplies could not arrive in time.

Li Jiankun solved such a big conflict without even saying a word of help. This made fellow villagers sigh. Even though they had heard some news, they still underestimated Li Jiankun's influence here.

The two teams then started communicating again. Zhong Ling and his team had already proposed a solution, and the Russian side had no objection, so it was quickly resolved.

During this process, Li Jiankun did not leave, waiting for Zhong Ling to finish. Sometimes he even thought that he might never see Zhong Ling again in this life, because she would not let him see her. It was so hard to catch her, he couldn't just say hello and leave.

Zhong Ling's immediate superior, who claimed to be surnamed Song, did not need to do anything himself, but came up to talk to Li Jiankun, most likely because he thought this was a rare opportunity. Upon learning that the plane parked not far away belonged to Li Jiankun, Director Song suddenly realized it, but he did not think much about it and said casually: "In this case, we have to go back quickly and arrange for another batch of supplies to be shipped over quickly."

"How about we come together?"

"Ah?" Director Song was stunned for a moment, thinking that would be the best, there is no faster way to return than taking a ready-made flight. He felt a little embarrassed and smiled awkwardly, "It's not on the way, right?"

"It's okay, it's Bingcheng, right? Bingcheng has a big airport and we can stop over there." Director Song was shocked and finally realized that the rumors were not credible. How could Li Jiankun and Zhong Ling just know each other?

Something!

There is definitely something going on between the two of them!

Li Jiankun immediately called a special agent and asked him to make arrangements.

After Zhong Ling and the others finished talking, the Russian personnel saw that Li Jiankun had no intention of communicating anymore, so they said goodbye and left. After hearing the news from Director Song, the villagers were naturally very happy. Firstly, it could speed up the work, and secondly, Li Jiankun's plane, is that a plane? It's a private plane! Who has been on it?

Only Zhong Ling remained silent.

"Xiao Zhong, we came here in person and we know the situation best. We can solve the problem earlier if we go back earlier." Director Song thought, is there a quarrel? He has to accept the favor that was delivered to him.

"Yes."

Li Jiankun took out some cigarettes and gave one to Director Song, who took it with both hands, as if he had found a treasure.

----

When everything was settled and we boarded the plane in the afternoon, a group of fellow villagers from a trading unit in Northeast China all had the same feeling:
It was not until today that I deeply understood the phrase “a different world”.

From the outside, there is nothing unusual about this white plane. Even in major domestic airports, it is not difficult to see such large Western-made aircraft, which usually fly international flights.

I originally thought it was just empty, after all, it was Li Jiankun's private plane.

I only now realize that this is a palace in the sky, a mobile imperial palace!

The inside of the plane doesn't look like a plane at all. All the extra seats have been removed and replaced with large sofas. There are several doors from the front to the back. According to the beautiful and elegant stewardess, there is an office, a video room, a bathroom, and a bedroom behind the living room...

Rich people really know how to play.

The plane took off and soared in the sky. The journey to the Ice City took about nine hours. It was mid-afternoon. Soon after boarding the plane, several pretty and lovely flight attendants brought afternoon tea to everyone. There was a dazzling array of various exquisite pastries, served on several tree-shaped plates. The flight attendants were considerate and afraid that the guests did not know what drinks they could provide, so they introduced them in fluent Mandarin.

"... As for tea, we have black tea, green tea, and Pu'er. We mainly have the three types that the boss likes to drink. Black tea includes Ceylon black tea from Sri Lanka, Assam black tea from India, and Keemun black tea and Zhengshan Xiaozhong from China. As for green tea, we have Gyokuro tea from Japan, Yunwu tea from Mount Lu, and Shifeng Longjing tea from West Lake. As for Pu'er..."

"There are only two kinds of coffee, Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee and Brazilian coffee, because the boss doesn't like coffee very much."

"As for wine, we have many varieties. In addition to the well-known domestic liquors such as Moutai and Wuliangye, we also have most well-known brands of whiskey, brandy, rum, liqueurs...especially wines, which are all produced in the best years of famous wineries around the world and can be collected. What would you like to order?"

Inhumane!
No one answered, so Li Jiankun asked the young lady to open a bottle of Remy Martin and a bottle of 1971 Romanee-Conti for them to try.

Zhong Ling took the initiative to ask for a cup of Keemun black tea, without sugar or milk.

While everyone was tasting the wine, Li Jiankun came to Zhong Ling with a glass of Zhengshan Xiaozhong, touched her arm and said, "Move over."

"Such a big seat over there."

"Are you really going to never have anything to do with me again?"

Zhong Ling hesitated for a moment, but finally made way for him.

"I……"

"Don't say anything, you're not wrong."

"But you make me feel like I'm wrong."

"That's my fault."

"Can we both be right?"

Zhong Ling was stunned, holding the crystal teacup, and lowered her head, so that Li Jiankun could not see her expression clearly. The girl's eyes were a little red, and she thought, yes, in fact, they are not wrong, the only mistake is that I love him, but he doesn't love me.

But love cannot be forced.

"Zhong Ling, I should be nicer to you, and you shouldn't refuse."

"Why... why?"

"Aren't you talking nonsense? First of all, we are from the same hometown and classmates. We were admitted to the capital together. Now we see each other every day. You are a woman. Although I don't favor boys over girls, you have to admit that women are gentle and need more care and love. I treat you well, and no one in the world can have any objection." Li Jiankun said confidently.

Zhong Ling glanced at him and asked, "How dare you say that to her face?"

"What a big deal!"

"blow."

"If you don't believe me, come back to Beijing with me. I'll repeat it word for word in front of her, and I'll make sure I pronounce it correctly!"

Looking at his beard-blowing and glaring appearance, Zhong Ling suddenly chuckled.

Li Jiankun's tense heartstrings relaxed
"Finally I know how you tricked her into getting your hands on me."

"How can this be a lie?"

"She is really good. As a woman, I can't find any fault with her."

Li Jiankun grinned and said, "It's not that good, but she actually said something similar about you."

"Tsk, men's mouths are deceiving!"

After all, they had to meet. If they didn't meet, some of the awkwardness would never be resolved. When their eyes met, Li Jiankun couldn't help but smile knowingly.

"Excuse me, Mr. Li, how about you and Xiao Zhong?" Director Song came over with a glass of wine.

"We were from the same county, middle school classmates, and took the college entrance examination together. We were admitted to the capital together. I was in Peking University, and she was in Beijing Language and Culture University..."

"Ah! That's a close friendship."

Not only Director Song, but also the fellow villagers who were attracted by this unconcealed topic were all greatly surprised. Zhong Ling had never mentioned this relationship before. I really don't know whether I should call her stupid.

Nine hours was still quite long, especially since it was already night. Seeing that Zhong Ling was drowsy, Li Jiankun asked her to go to the bedroom to sleep. Zhong Ling was unwilling, but Director Song took the lead and said, "Xiao Zhong, you go. What is your relationship? You are more like brother and sister than sister!"

Others also agreed and didn't think there was any problem.

In fact, Director Song wanted to say "childhood sweethearts", but he knew that Li Jiankun was married. But he was sure that there was something fishy going on between the two of them. It was normal for a man like Li Jiankun. After thinking this way, he was suddenly shocked. Could he have said something wrong? That would be a mess... that. Director Song secretly looked at Li Jiankun and saw that he was smiling, and then he felt relieved.

Zhong Ling couldn't resist everyone's persuasion.

Lying on the soft Simmons bed, she hadn't fallen asleep for a long time. She put her nose against the imperial green silk bed quilt and sniffed deeply, even though she knew there was no chance of Li Jiankun's scent on it. She didn't know when she fell asleep, but she slept very soundly. When she woke up, the plane had already landed at Taiping Airport.

Director Song apologized before the cabin door was opened.

Before Li Jiankun could figure out what was going on, a female flight attendant came up to him and told him that a group of people were gathering at the bottom of the gangway.

Those from the city or province without the prefix "permanent" are not allowed to come.

Director Song extended the invitation again, saying that it was getting late and he hoped that he could stay in the city for one night. In fact, he had already said this all the way.

Li Jiankun still refused.

Director Song looked at the sleepy Zhong Ling for help. After looking at Li Jiankun, the latter said, "He has a schedule."

In this case, Director Song couldn't force it, and the same went for the people below the gangway.

Li Jiankun was not arrogant. The plane could stay for half an hour, so he invited them up to have a chat. He just hoped that he could invest locally. In fact, Li Jiankun had many projects in the province. The semiconductor super factory was based on the principle of proximity, and many factories had been developed in recent years, so it was easy to deal with.

Before the plane took off again, Zhong Ling was the last one to get off the plane. Li Jiankun stuffed a phone list that he had copied long ago into her hand.

Zhong Ling was shocked when she took a quick look. There was even a direct line to the Kremlin on it! !
"I'll say hello. If you run into trouble in the future, I should be able to resolve it by contacting them."

The trading unit where Zhong Ling works mainly conducts trade with Eastern Europe, but it is only a regional trading unit.

Zhong Ling was shocked and said with a wry smile: "Why use a butcher knife to kill a chicken?"

"I didn't ask you to call the last number directly. Liu Jingyan should be able to handle most things. Don't be afraid to trouble her. She is 100% my own. As for other people, I won't give them to you unless you have some personal relationship with me. If you really have trouble, just call me. It's okay."

"How about... a hug? I don't know when we'll see each other again."

Li Jiankun opened his arms and Zhong Ling did not resist.

The plane slowly drove onto the runway and began to accelerate. A group of people stood together and watched it go until it cut through the night sky and gradually only the flashing red and blue lights could be seen.

The leader suddenly walked up to Zhong Ling, looked her up and down, nodded frequently, then glanced around, and scolded with a smile: "Your trade department is derelict in its duty. I have such a comrade who is as capable as a man. I just found out now that Mr. Chen from the Trade Bureau is about to retire. Comrade Zhong Ling has both the education and the ability. I think she is very suitable to take over."

Everyone agreed.

Only Zhong Ling herself was surprised. They were talking about the Trade Bureau. She was only 30 years old. It was unprecedented.

"If one person succeeds, will everyone else benefit?" the girl murmured to herself.
