Brilliant Years 1991

Chapter 115 Let’s talk about our own affairs!

In the past two days, there have indeed been media reports saying that Qinyuan brand plum juice has replaced Pepsi-Cola and become the second best-selling non-alcoholic beverages sold in Hong Kong!
Of course, it was because of the hype some time ago that the media really paid attention to this drink.

But it has to be said that this sales volume is indeed strong for a beverage that has just been launched on the market. Looking around the world, no matter where it is, as long as it can enter the market, Coca-Cola is almost certain to be number one, and Pepsi is almost certain to be number two, with rare exceptions.

Now, a beverage launched by a local company has actually replaced Pepsi. This is quite novel for the people of Hongkong. Although it is manufactured by a mainland factory, this kind of thing is not uncommon in this era. Watsons’ soda has a factory in Shenzhen, which is normal.

However, for now, everyone is just hyping up the hot sales of this drink. At the same time, the one who is in the limelight is Comrade Ah Hao, while Cao Yukun has not been paid any attention for the time being.

Only a very small number of people who know the inside story know that the company that was reported by the media to earn one million Hong Kong dollars a day actually belongs to a 19-year-old mainlander - maybe because she is older, Lai Qingxia obviously attaches great importance to these things, and is no longer as literary and artistic as when she was young, and she only wants to marry for love. At the same time, it may be because she is not old enough, and she herself can actually make a lot of money, so she actually pays a lot of attention to whether a man is good-looking and interesting.

Coincidentally, Cao Yukun had almost every one of them.

So, even though they had only met twice before at parties hosted by friends, when they met for the third time, Cao Yukun carried her directly to the bed.

That night, she was so excited that she almost flew away. Even the next day, she stopped saying those inappropriate words to each other that night. But the next day, Cao Yukun called her solemnly, which in some way clearly demonstrated his sincerity, and she suddenly became gentle.

After she had packed up Cao Yukun, she asked him when he was about to leave: "Will you come over to my place for dinner tonight? I'll go buy some groceries and cook for you tonight."

Cao Yukun thought about it and thought that the old lady's voice was not only smooth but also quite interesting. Compared with the graceful voice of a female singer, it had a different flavor. In short, he subconsciously wanted to have a few more shots tonight, so he nodded and said happily, "Okay!"

Pinching her face, it really doesn't have the bloated feeling that men and women have when they get older, it's still tender and smooth. "Stir-fried pork liver with leeks! Pork kidneys stewed with red dates and peanuts! Beef liver stewed with wolfberries! Spiced beef brisket! ... And a lamb penis soup!"

She was stunned for a few moments, then burst out laughing again, glancing around with a charming look in her eyes.

…………

"Hello, Vivian... Yes, I drank too much last night! Huh? Is your cell phone turned off? I didn't bring it with me. I went to check, oh, it's turned off. I left it at the company!... Yes, I just arrived at the company!"

"Well... what's there to hide? Jin Zhijian, do you know him? Yes, a mainlander like me! Of course, he's not a mainlander now, he's rich, a big boss!"

"He admires me very much and specially invited me to have a chat. Maybe he wants to help me with some business! But he didn't say it. Let's wait and see. He will tell me eventually! It's not like he would treat me to a meal for no reason, just because I'm from the mainland? He even made me drink a lot of wine... Okay, okay, it's okay. I slept in the hotel for a night. I'm fine now. I'm sober! Don't worry, I'm so young..."

"But I don't think I can go back tonight. I have to fly to Shanghai this afternoon... Well, I told you before, this beverage is manufactured by my factory in the mainland, and it can only be shipped here through foreign trade export channels. Now the previous export order is about to be completed, and I have to sign a new order!"

"Well, I love you, don't worry... Bye! Wait for me to come back, soon! In a few days!... Ah? You want to come over at noon? Sure, of course I'm happy, that's perfect, let's have lunch together downstairs!"

Zhou Aimin was indeed very suspicious. After not seeing her one night, she couldn't wait to rush to Yiren Kangyin at noon the next day. When she entered the door, she caused a small commotion.

A big star is here, a beautiful girl!

But she was very happy because when everyone saw her relationship with Cao Yukun, they immediately changed their way of addressing her and started calling her the boss lady.

It seems that I can smell something at least.

Of course, the probability is that no one is there, as people go to bed without wearing clothes and they don’t skip showers afterwards.

At noon, she was invited to have lunch at the restaurant downstairs. I don't know if it was intentional, but this time, she didn't even wear sunglasses. There was basically no disguise or cover-up. She just walked in with her arm around Cao Yukun's. Along the way, she attracted many diners who turned their heads to look at her. After they sat down, even the waiter who was obsessed with Cao Yukun's beauty couldn't help but look at her a few more times.

So Cao Yukun knew that this actually quite smart girl had probably sensed something was wrong, so she seemed to be planning to take the initiative to expose her relationship with him...

Of course, what she did was not secretive, so it should be a test.

When the food came, everyone was chatting and laughing while eating. As expected, she began to test him, "My dear, when I went home last night, I didn't wait for you to come home. Suddenly, I felt so disappointed and missed you so much! I was thinking, why don't I just listen to you and stop taking so many jobs? It would be nice to concentrate on being your wife. In that case, I can wait for you to come home every day, and I can also cook for you every day. What do you think?"

Cao Yukun looked up at her and smiled, "Okay! Of course I'm happy!"

Then she really laughed happily.

He looked relieved—a bit like a cunning and cute little fox who had succeeded in his plan.

…………

The dishes cooked by my aunt tasted quite good.

He even actually cooked according to the menu that Cao Yukun casually reported.

In her words, "Eat it, it's all aphrodisiac, it'll make you sick!"

Not bored to death!
Even the sheep penis soup, after being simmered for several hours, had almost no smell of mutton. The other dishes were also delicious dishes that went well with rice for the 19-year-old Ma Zhong Chi Tu.

The old lady was stunned when she saw the appetite of the horse Red Hare for the first time.

Otherwise, where would such good physical strength and endurance come from!

Hmm...the old lady is still very moist, even moister than last night.

But she was obviously getting serious. After Cao Yukun had his fun, she ran to the bathroom to rinse her mouth, then came back and lay in his arms, saying, "Ah Kun..."

"Call me brother! It's better to call me brother!"

She burst out laughing again, but her face was so red that she couldn't shout out, "Stop it, I need to talk to you about something serious! You make me laugh like this all day long..."

But Cao Yukun still said, "Call me brother!"

She laughed out loud, and finally had no choice but to call out "brother" again in order to get to the point. But after she finished calling out, she couldn't help laughing, "What the hell is that! You call me auntie and I call you brother? You're really weird..."

"You call yours, I call mine, that's fine!"

She couldn't help laughing again.

She can definitely speak Cantonese, but she was born in Taiwan, so she obviously speaks Mandarin better. Since she met Cao Yukun, the two have always chatted in Mandarin. Moreover, her Mandarin does not have the motorcycle flavor of later generations, and is almost the same as Mandarin, so... this "brother" sounds very seductive.

"In the bedroom next door, I have a whole wardrobe. Actually, I haven't been buying clothes much lately, and it's not full. I thought, I'll buy you some clothes in the next few days, how about that?"

"Okay! No problem, but I definitely don't have time to go shopping with you. You know, when a business just starts, it's the busiest time... the climbing period of career! But I have plenty of money! I'll write you a check tomorrow and you can transfer it to your account. You can buy whatever you want in the future!"

"I'm not asking you for money. I have money! At least I have money to buy clothes!"

"Who said you asked me for money? I was just saying that it's not easy for us to get married before I'm twenty-one, so what should we do? Just think of it as me getting a concubine!"

"Pfft... I'm not a concubine! You're so annoying!"

"Have you taken birth control pills?"

"Hahaha... Could you not be so direct? Aren't you embarrassed at all?"

"You're not in menopause yet, and I'm so strong. As long as you don't take birth control pills, it means you want to have a baby for me! If you take it, it means you still have doubts in your heart and don't want to get pregnant!"

"..."

"Speak, have you eaten yet?"

"No."

"Huh? Real or fake?"

“Hahaha…really!”

At first she was smiling, then she was embarrassed, but before she knew it, the smile on her face gradually disappeared. Instead, she couldn't help but look up, looking at Cao Yukun, reaching out her hand to gently touch his face, and she looked a little emotional. "Actually, when I got up in the morning, I was hesitant. When I went out to buy groceries, I wanted to go to the pharmacy to take a look and buy some, but I don't know why, I didn't go in in the end."

She spoke softly, with an indescribable slowness and tenderness, "I couldn't help but think about the fact that you still wanted to marry me this morning! Then I thought, why did I want to laugh so much the first time I saw you? And why did I have almost no resistance to you the third time I saw you, and you actually..."

"I figured it out later... I actually like you! I fell in love with you the first time we met."

"I have been in love before, you know, everyone thinks it's a shameful status, but I have really loved others, but in the end, all they gave me was hurt. Like you said, they always made me cry. But you are different, you can always make me laugh, you can always make me laugh with just one sentence..."

"So, I think you were wrong last night! Maybe some girls, like you said, clearly like the boy who makes them laugh, but in the end, they fall in love with the one who makes them cry. But I'm different, A Kun, really, I'm old, I don't want to cry anymore..."

"I am willing to give birth to a child for you, no, several children!"

"I don't take birth control pills. If I get pregnant, I will give birth to the baby, okay?"

Cao Yukun listened to her quietly.

Until this time, she seemed to have finished speaking and raised her head, as if she wanted to get some feedback from Cao Yukun. He thought about it and said, "Call me brother..."

"Pfft...hahahaha..."
