Brilliant Years 1991

Chapter 85 Why did you just take advantage of the situation?

Before they knew it, they were chatting until four o'clock in the afternoon, and Cao Yukun finally stood up to say goodbye.

But when he stood up, he noticed that Song Yuqian was already waiting for him with a backpack on her back. When she saw them coming out of the teahouse, she stood up with Song's mother and Song Yuhuai's wife. She smiled and said, "I told my mother that it's just right for you to take me to school, so I don't have to make another trip."

Cao Yukun replied casually, "Okay!"

Then he turned around to say goodbye to Song Hongxing and Song Yuhuai. When he walked out of his living room, he saw Song Yuhua watering the flowers in the yard. The sky was still gloomy, and there was even a slight wind. It looked like it was going to rain. However, she looked particularly gorgeous and bright in her goose yellow dress, standing next to the flower stand by the wall and among a bunch of flowers.

"Let's go Sister Yuhua!"

She had already turned around, and when she saw her family members coming out, she half-turned back, and then pretended to turn around again at his shout, "Okay! ... You've been drinking, so drive slower on the road!"

"Ai!"

So the two of them got in the car, and the van quickly drove out of the Song family's courtyard.

As they were about to leave home, Song Yuqian tilted her neck to look at Cao Yukun. She was very happy, but actually felt a little reluctant in her heart. It was a good thing that he came to her house today, but she didn't have time to talk to him much today, and the next date would be scheduled for a month later.

When the car left the village, she opened her mouth and wanted to speak, but suddenly, his hand let go of the gear lever, reached towards her, and grabbed her hand very accurately.

Song Yuqian's face suddenly turned red.

She subconsciously looked at him, and he turned his head to look at her, smiled, and whispered, "You were there first!"

She pursed her lips, smiled shyly, not wanting to pay attention to him, and turned her head to look out the window.

But suddenly I felt that I had nothing to say.

His palms were broad and warm, enough to hold her entire hand, and very powerful. After holding her hand, he rubbed it gently, and with just a few strokes, he made her feel both relaxed and happy.

When he needed to use his hands, he would let go, but when he changed gears, he would reach back immediately.

He even touched her legs twice, causing Song Yuqian to glance at him shyly.

But strangely, the two of them didn't say a single word along the way.

The car drove to the familiar gate of No. 1 Middle School. He parked the car on the roadside about ten meters away from the gate and reached out his hand again. Song Yuqian turned her head, looking a little cute and sweet. "I was just pretending. Why did you take advantage of me?"

Cao Yukun smiled and said, "I used to think that you would definitely be unhappy with me doing this. It's just that... alcohol makes cowards brave, and I was drunk anyway!"

She smiled shyly, letting him hold her for a while, then quickly broke free. Even though she broke free, she couldn't hide the smile on her face. When she was about to get off the car, she said, "In fact, the college entrance examination is coming soon, and the school is not so strict anymore. We don't have classes every Sunday afternoon, so we have time to wash clothes, and no one will care if we go out. Otherwise, you come pick me up? I want to... talk to you more."

Cao Yukun smiled, "Okay! I'll pick you up!"

So she smiled, turned around, opened the car door, and got out of the car. While walking towards the school gate, she kept looking back, smiling sweetly, and waving at Cao Yukun.

Cao Yukun lowered the window and leaned over the car window to look at her.

Does drinking make you brave?
Yes, approximately.

But Cao Yukun felt that it was more about money that gave cowards courage.

…………

Seeing her enter the school gate, Cao Yukun did not rush to start the car. Instead, he opened the glove box on the passenger side, took out the mobile phone he had in Fuping County, and dialed a number.

The call was quickly connected, and Cao Yukun said, "Please call Huang Jiaying on the third floor."

Then he heard a loud shout from the other end, "Huang Jiaying, a gay man is calling!"

After a few seconds, the other end of the line seemed to respond, so the person in the reception room said, "Wait!" Then there was a series of clicks in the receiver. After more than a minute, Huang Jiaying picked up the receiver breathlessly, "Hello?"

Cao Yukun said: "You should buy a mobile phone. It's really inconvenient!"

Huang Jiaying said unceremoniously, "I'll buy it if you pay for it!"

Cao Yukun smiled, not wanting to argue with her about this matter, and asked directly: "What happened to you talking about your parents yesterday?"

Yesterday afternoon, she called and said that her parents wanted to invite Cao Yukun to their home for dinner. At that time, Cao Yukun was fishing with a fishing rod in front of his pond, so she didn't say much and simply agreed.

She said, "What else could it be? Their son and daughter took leave together and disappeared, and suddenly came back. Think about it, if they don't explain it properly, how can they get away with it? But don't worry, on the way back in the car, I taught them what to say. Anyway, everyone knows that we worked for you and earned some money, and you gave us some. Without saying much, my parents guessed that you might have earned millions."

Cao Yukun laughed, "So what do you mean, should I go to your house or not?"

Huang Jiaying said without hesitation, "Go! You have to go! If you don't go, they will always miss you!" After a pause, she continued, "I guess they want to entrust Huang Jiapeng to you! He doesn't want to work at the Second Cotton Mill anymore."

There was no need to say anything about this. I had to go. "Then I'll go there later. I happen to have something to do today. I'm in the city right now. I'll go buy some things later."

"Then come pick me up. If you don't know what to buy, I'll take you there!"

"Row!"

After hanging up the phone, Cao Yukun started the car again and soon drove directly into the yard of the ICBC dormitory building. He got out of the car and went upstairs. He knocked on the door once and found it was open, so he pushed it open and walked in.

A few months ago, he would have felt quite restrained when entering Huang Jiaying's dormitory because they were not familiar with each other at that time. He also knew very well that Huang Jiaying asked him to come with her to make dumplings purely because he was not only a good brother to her younger brother, but also had just contributed a large business to her.

But it doesn’t matter now, just push the door and go in.

When we were in Shanghai, we lived in the same house for as long as one or two months. The boss and accountant cooperated well with each other and just did a deal worth more than 50 million together!

Huang Jiaying was reading a book. When she heard the door open, she turned around and asked, "What are you taking?"

Cao Yukun handed her a bag of tea in his hand. "I brought this especially for you. This year's new tea, my family went up the mountain to pick. My grandfather made it himself. It's great!"

She stood up to answer it, but she smelled the smell of alcohol on Cao Yukun the first time. She immediately looked disgusted and said, "Hey! Drinking again? We have already gone home, why are you still having a drinking party?" Cao Yukun said "Hi" and didn't answer. He just sat down on her bed.

She immediately stood up, without saying anything, pulled her own towel from the rack, opened the door and went out. After a while, she came back with a wet towel, "Here, wipe your face... Hey, it smells so bad!"

While Cao Yukun was wiping his face, she saw Cao Yukun's mobile phone on the table, so she picked it up and dialed the number. After a while, the call was connected, and she said, "Hello... Jiapeng..."

Before she could say the next word, Cao Yukun, who was sitting on the bed, said, "Why don't we go to your house? Your mother will be busy for a long time. Let's find a restaurant to eat. I'll treat your parents, okay?"

Huang Jiaying turned her head and thought for a moment, "Alright!" So she told Huang Jiapeng and even made her own decision. She decided to go to the county guesthouse, then quickly hung up the phone, took the towel, and asked again: "Who did you go drinking with?"

"Future father-in-law!"

"Hey... Song Hongxing?"

She was stunned for a few seconds, and when she saw Cao Yukun nod, she felt a little uncomfortable, so she couldn't help but speak out, "Didn't you say that you and Song Hongxing's second daughter would only be together until the summer vacation? How come he is the future father-in-law again?"

Cao Yukun laughed, "Even if it ends during the summer vacation, we have been dating for at least half a year, and have been dating for half a year. I should go to their house and at least meet them, right?"

So Huang Jiaying stopped talking.

After a pause, Cao Yukun continued, "Let's mainly talk about the beverage factory."

Huang Jiaying's expression suddenly became better. "Beverage factory? Didn't you say that you planned to settle the debt with the Song family after you came back, get your IOU back, and return the factory to them? Have you agreed?"

Cao Yukun shook his head, "No, I changed my mind! I'll give you the rest of the money and buy the factory!"

Huang Jiaying was stunned for a moment.

At this time, Cao Yukun turned his head to look at the head of the bed and said, "Lie down for a while. You drank a little too much at noon!" Then, without waiting for an answer, he leaned down. Huang Jiaying was about to open her mouth to dislike him, but she heard him suddenly say, "Go to the company tomorrow and resign. I don't dare to trust the financial department of the beverage factory. It didn't matter in the past, but I want to control this factory in the future. I need someone of my own. You go and manage the money for me!"

So Huang Jiaying swallowed her words back into her stomach.

Of course I'm happy to let him manage my money - if he doesn't come to me, I'll be unhappy.

But she didn't respond. Instead, she spoke in disgust, "Hey, do you know how bad you smell? It's over. I guess I won't be able to sleep tonight!"

…………

At present, it is hard to say that there is any restaurant in the entire Fuping County that is more upscale than the restaurant in the county guesthouse.

The dishes are expensive, but they do taste great. The key is that everyone in the county, whether they are government officials or private business owners, are willing to come here as long as the meal they are having is not shameful. So after a while, the quality of the dishes is not important, what matters is the appearance.

After taking a nap on Huang Jiaying's bed for thirty or forty minutes, he was woken up by Huang Jiaying, so he washed his face, and the two went downstairs together. They first went to the staff quarters of the People's Bank of China and picked up Huang Jiapeng and his parents. They drove straight to the county guesthouse. When they got off the car, Cao Yukun saw Huang Jiaying stuffing a bottle of Wuliangye into Huang Jiapeng's arms. He couldn't help laughing. He had been in the car team for several months, so he knew that the guesthouse restaurant did not allow outside drinks. But the wine in their store was indeed much more expensive than outside.

So when she went in, Cao Yukun asked her, "When did you buy it?"

She also laughed and said, "When you were asleep."

However, they didn't know that Huang's father and mother had already noticed the familiarity and tacit understanding between the two, and even a little bit of intimacy. They exchanged glances with each other and were very happy.

The boy is a little young, but it doesn’t matter. As long as he is capable, can do business and make money, that’s good.

What's more, he and Huang Jiapeng are such close friends, and the two families know each other well. They can handle major matters with confidence and there won't be any major chaos.

And now it seems that my daughter will probably nod in agreement directly.

That's all... My daughter is 22 this year. If we can settle things in the next two months, she can get married by the end of the year. Then we can put a big worry to rest. Maybe we can have a grandchild next year.

"Uncle Huang, please sit here, the main seat!"

The box was full, but it was acceptable to sit outside, though we would have to pay a five-dollar corkage fee later.

Whether it was during high school or after graduation when he joined the county government's small motorcade, Cao Yukun had eaten at the Huang family many times and was not unfamiliar with them. The dishes were also ordered by Huang Jiaying. This meal was relaxing and enjoyable, at least more relaxing than lunch.

But, I'm sure I'll have to drink again.

The key point is that Huang Jiaying’s father has been working in the bank for many years, and he can drink quite a lot.

He was obviously very happy at the moment, and he kept raising his cup at the beginning, so Cao Yukun felt a little overwhelmed.

There are no checks on drunk driving these days, but he is sure that driving after drinking too much is really bad. But there is nothing he can do. His relationship with the Huang siblings is there, and he certainly cannot refuse to drink when having dinner with their parents.

However, while eating and drinking, a surprised voice suddenly came over, "Mr. Kun?"

…………

Zhao Xiaolan is not the main player tonight.

In name, the county government was entertaining foreign merchants, but in fact, the main force was definitely Xie Zhaofang.

After all, there is no enterprise in the county that does not want to export. However, after the spring, two leaders of the county took charge personally, one went east to Shanghai and the other went south to Guangzhou. In the end, there was only this one order that had a chance of being completed, and it fell into the hands of Xie Zhaofang's silk factory. Now that the merchants have been invited, who would do it if he doesn't take the lead?
It was almost time for dinner. Zhao Xiaolan, as a representative of the county government, accompanied the silk factory owner Xie Zhaofang upstairs to invite the merchants to dinner. At the same time, she was still thinking, she had heard that Xie Zhaofang could drink a lot, but it was also said that he seldom drank outside. This time, whether you can deal with the merchants directly determines whether your silk can be exported. This time it depends on whether you drink or not!

Anyway, it seems that the customer is not very enthusiastic, so it is hard to say whether we can get this foreign trade order.

As a result, they had just invited the merchant down and were carefully accompanying him all the way to Box No. 1, when they saw that the merchant, who had always seemed quite arrogant, suddenly stopped. When Zhao Xiaolan looked at him, she saw that he was staring at the table on the side, and then heard him shout in surprise, "Mr. Kun?"

The next moment, she saw a familiar young man standing up from the table.

"Hey, Lao Xu?"
