1988: Back to the human world for a few years

Chapter 233 Isn’t it?
Just as Wang Yinuo said, it was indeed necessary to visit the comprehensive office that I hadn't been to for a while.

As the "veteran" of this department, Yang Mo has no impression of nearly 60% of the current employees. This shows how fast the General Office is expanding and how lazy Mr. Yang is in his work.

Logically speaking, as one of the two most special employees in the General Office, whether Yang Mo is willing or not, he, a small leader without a position who is usually elusive, should at least recognize all of them.

But unfortunately, he had just chatted with a few young men who looked quite energetic when he was called into the office by the second-in-command of the General Office amid the envious eyes of everyone.

………………

"sorry."

As soon as the door closed, Miss Mu, who was dressed in a gray suit, apologized to Yang Mo very sincerely.

"Why are you saying sorry to me?"

Yang Mo looked at her in surprise, then took out a cigarette and lit it without any hesitation.

"I couldn't help with this matter."

Muliya's tone was somewhat embarrassed.

Although she knew that Yang Mo was a person who was very cautious about cause and effect and did not want to owe favors to others easily, and that the so-called help this time was an unspoken understanding between the two and could not be considered a promise, but after running around for half a month, she was unable to help at all, and she could not help but feel embarrassed.

Yang Mo looked at Miss Mu, who looked a little guilty, and smiled softly, then waved his hand disapprovingly: "It's not a formal request for help. I never asked for it. It's normal that your father is unwilling to help... You just came back?"

Like most state-owned enterprises, the drilling company has no rigid dress code for employees in the department. As long as you dress appropriately and not frivolously, you can wear whatever you like.
Miss Mu is also a person who is very particular about comfort when it comes to dressing. Although she does not hate restrictive clothing such as business suits, western clothes, and cheongsams, she will never touch them unless it is necessary in formal occasions.

And now this beauty is not only wearing a long suit that makes people think of a tortoise shell, but the color is also a dark gray that is so old-fashioned that it is outrageous...

Obviously, she had been running out frequently during this period. She must have attended a relatively high-level and official meeting, and she didn't even have time to change her clothes before rushing back to the drilling company.

Mu Liya carefully looked at Yang Mo's expression and found that he really didn't seem to take it to heart. She breathed a sigh of relief and said with a bit of irritation in her tone: "Affected by the visit of the island's non-governmental exchange group to China, although the official trade in Qilu is still stagnant, the bilateral non-governmental trade has suddenly become hot... Qingdao, Yantai, and Weihai have held several bilateral exchange meetings of high standards. I entered the office on time this morning."

Seeing Miss Mu complaining in a childish manner, Yang Mo laughed: "No Dongying?"

Mu Liya sighed: "There is no Dongying... at least there is no Dongying now."

Yang Mo thought for a moment and said, "Hasn't the itinerary for the island's civil exchange group been fully announced yet?"

Mu Liya looked a little frustrated: "It's out. Dongying is on the itinerary... but it's ranked 11th... It's a mediocre position... There are only 17 places above the standard in the entire Qilu region."

Students who are familiar with the system should all know that this kind of official ranking has always been known as "gold head, silver tail, and bronze neck."

Dongying was ranked 17th among the 11 travel arrangements above the designated level, which was really the worst news for some people.

However, Yang Mo was not at all surprised.

Although the island nation is a country that relies almost entirely on imports for its resources, and oil is a top-notch key resource for a highly industrialized country like them; but in fact, China, which has the most geographical advantages, is not the most important oil supplier to the island nation... Not only is it not the most important supplier, it is not even among the top eight.

The reasons for this are complicated.

There is the reason that China is short of oil;

There is a reason why China's oil exports during this period were only for the purpose of exchanging currency, which in fact constituted a unilateral trade;

At that time, except for the oil produced in the Northeast, the quality of crude oil in other regions of China was not high enough, and the refining cost could not be reduced.

Of course, the most important reason is the limitations of the island country’s international role itself... The five Middle Eastern countries of Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Iran and Qatar account for 70% of the island country’s oil imports. Just from this point, we can see a lot.

If it was before this year, when China and the United States were still in their honeymoon period, there would be no need to say more. Whenever a visiting delegation from an island country set foot in Shandong, Dongying would definitely be among the first three stops.

But this year...

Haha, the civil exchange groups from these island countries are not fools. Their purpose is to break the ice, not to take sides. How could they be so stupid as to show such strong tendencies in such a sensitive resource area as oil?
Besides, since it is a "civilian exchange", even if it is just a show, it must at least abide by the most basic business rules. Otherwise, do you really think that America's father is reluctant to spank his son?
So the question is, since we have to abide by the minimum business rules, the crude oil in the Qilu region, which is mainly heavy crude oil, has too high sulfur content, high density, high viscosity, high impurity content; a series of shortcomings are exposed, such as high production cost, great difficulty in refining, and high refining cost.

Under such circumstances, how could they still list Dongying as a key destination for their visit as before?

In fact, Yang Mo was very clear that although the visit of the island countries' civil exchange groups to China did have an ice-breaking effect and pointed out a "bright path" that many Western countries could learn from, which ultimately allowed China to end the foreign trade freeze in a very short period of time; but in fact, these island countries' civil exchange groups were always taking a "borderline route" from beginning to end.

But this is not important to Yang Mo.

Yang Mo admired the two faint black circles on Miss Mu's face with some amusement, and smiled: "So... this is the reason why your father is always hesitant?"

When Yang Mo mentioned her father, Mu Liya showed a trace of anger on her face: "My father probably drank too much and entered the Alzheimer's stage early... It is said that the older you are, the less courageous you are, so I understand why he was hesitant before;"

"But the island country's folk exchange group's itinerary in Qilu has been confirmed, and he is still hesitant and undecided, unwilling to even help with a small favor... He has no courage at all, why doesn't he retire now!?"

Seeing Miss Mu's angry look, Yang Mo suddenly laughed.

He knew that the relationship between the father and daughter was not very harmonious.

To be precise, it was Miss Mu who had some opinions and resistance towards her father... After all, the reason why the young lady suddenly took the initiative to transfer from the command center to a lower-level unit like the drilling company was because there were some very unpleasant conflicts between father and daughter.

Although it is not harmonious, it is really laughable that a daughter actually curses her father to retire early.

The father of this young lady is about the same age as Director Zhang, and he is not even fifty years old this year. He has become a deputy leader at the age of less than fifty, and it is possible that he will even become a full-time leader at the beginning of next year. It can be said that he has a bright future... Such a hot-shot in his prime, but his own daughter wishes he would just get out and retire right away. This is definitely a disgusting curse within the system.

But it was obvious that Miss Mu was speaking up for Yang Mo and helping him vent his anger. Otherwise, with this young lady's cold personality, she would never curse her father in front of an outsider, and criticizing her father in front of another man who was not related to her by blood was also inconsistent with her family education.

Yang Mo could see this, and waved his hand with amusement: "Miss, you don't have to be like this. It's over. I really don't mean to hate your father... In fact, public is public and private is private. Before he made a verbal promise, I don't think there is anything wrong with your father not doing you a favor."

Mu Liya stared at her suspiciously for a while: "Really?"

As a friend who has been with this guy for nearly a year, Miss Mu is very clear that this seemingly rational and smooth man actually has an extremely twisted and contradictory petty-bourgeois personality.

To put it simply, this guy remembers favors, but also holds grudges... very grudges!
Although they were all adults and were in the same system, they naturally would not wave their fists and take revenge like those simple-minded little animals, but it was also because of this that once they were held accountable, the emotion was not only very hidden, but the consequences were also very troublesome and far-reaching. For some reason that she herself could not explain, she really did not want the incident that had just happened to affect their personal relationship, and she even did not want herself and her father to leave a negative impression in front of this guy, so she said those critical words just now without caring about her image.

But looking at his current expression, it seems like he doesn't mind at all.

Could it be...

Has this guy changed his gender?

Seeing this beautiful woman almost poking him with a magnifying glass, Yang Mo shrugged speechlessly: "Of course it's true. This matter has nothing to do with your father. Why should I blame your father... Besides, what's the relationship between us? I can hate anyone but your father!"

Upon hearing this, Mu Liya's pretty face flushed instantly, and she glared at him coquettishly: "What do you mean you can hate anyone but not my dad? ... And what do you mean we have no relationship at all... We have no relationship at all now!"

Seeing the young lady looking guilty, Yang Mo immediately rolled his eyes.

Hey, hey, hey, what's the train of thought in your head old man? Can you please stop imagining things all the time?

I just meant that we are friends. Because of our friendship, I would never hold a grudge against your father for this matter... After all, your father is the elder. Generally speaking, people in Qilu never hold a grudge against their elders.

Why do you look like the son-in-law doesn't dare to hate his father-in-law?

Ok……

Although Yang Mo didn't understand women very well, thanks to his relatively good looks and the money in his pocket, he had been involved with quite a few women at some point in his previous life. Therefore, when he was in the ward last time, he naturally noticed that this young lady didn't seem to be very averse to him.

To be honest, although there are countless beauties on the Internet in later generations, and most of them are 90% beautiful, everyone on earth knows that it is the blessing of the four major evil arts in Asia, plus the deception of various soft and hard technologies, that has created such an effect;

Without those beauty filters, let alone beauties with a score of over 85, in reality, even with heavy makeup, it is rare to find beauties who can reach a standard of over points.

Therefore, it is rare to find a top-notch beauty like Miss Mu who is worthy of the title of a great beauty even without makeup.

Faced with the hint of favor shown by this beautiful woman with both good looks and temperament, to be honest, it would be a lie to say that Yang Mo was not moved.

However, Yang Mo, whose mind had long been mature enough to suppress his hormones, knew very well that even if he had some capital now, it might be okay for him to be friends with a young lady like this, but if it came to discussing marriage, the gap between the two was too big, so big that he could only rely on her.

Don’t say that it’s enough to just date and have sex, and if it doesn’t work out in the future, you can just break up... This is 1989, if you are labeled a gangster, you will have to eat peanuts immediately!
Therefore, as a man whose age in two lifetimes combined could be half buried in the ground, Yang Mo could only suppress the restlessness in his heart with a rational and almost cold determination.

But as a man, no matter how determined he is, with a young and healthy body, it is inevitable that he will feel restless from time to time.

Therefore, when Miss Mu glared at him with that coquettish and angry look, the restlessness in Yang Mo's body quietly jumped out again.

Glancing at Miss Mu's swollen chest with gritted teeth, Yang Mo hit his thigh angrily.

Damn it, this young body is so hard to control.

If it doesn't work, I'll go find that fat guy Zhang Jianjun on the weekend and see if I can get him to contact the waiter in the small hotel last time and pay for him to solve his personal problem?
Thinking of the girl's rather inappropriate behavior last time, Yang Mo felt hot in his heart, but he also sighed helplessly.

It would have been great if this had happened after 92. Why would we have to hold it in for so long and feel so uncomfortable?
Seeing the green light flashing in Yang Mo's eyes and the obscene smile on the corner of his mouth, Miss Mu felt her legs trembling in panic.

I wanted to scold him, but I found that I couldn't open my mouth.
I wanted to make some jokes, but I found I didn't have the courage.

As for continuing the topic in this atmosphere, I found myself too nervous to do so.

As for Yang Mo, that bastard, after adjusting his mood, he looked like nothing had happened and started smoking leisurely. However, the fact that his eyes never glanced at Miss Mu again showed that he was actually feeling guilty.

Seeing this fellow having the intention but not the courage to do something evil, Miss Mu felt so angry that her teeth were itching.

Hey Hey hey!
You bastard, are you a man?

It's normal for a girl like me to be a little reserved, but as a grown man, you'll die if you take the initiative to test me!

Just when the atmosphere in the office fell into a strange stalemate, a shrill telephone ring suddenly rang.

After both of them were startled, the tension between them suddenly relaxed.

After glaring at Yang Mo with a hint of embarrassment, Miss Mu picked up the red microphone on the desk and said, "Hello?"

………………

Three minutes later.

Mu Liya put down the microphone and looked at Yang Mo with an increasingly strange look.

"Um...Yang Mo, are you interested in going fishing on the weekend?" Mu Liya's tone sounded a little strange.

fishing?

Yang Mo thought of the beautiful scenery he saw when he went fishing with this beautiful lady last time, and his eyelids couldn't help but twitch.

Sister, can't we just continue to be friends and be polite to each other? Why do you have to be so willful?
Besides, it's already mid-autumn and the weather is very cold. It's totally inappropriate to use seduction tactics anymore, okay?

Looking at Yang Mo's extremely conflicted expression and the sneaky eyes that couldn't help but look at her legs, a feeling of depression burst out from Mu Liya's chest.

"Yang Mo, you bastard! Stop imagining nonsense. I'm too lazy to go out with you alone!"

Miss Mu gnashed her teeth as she looked at him, her tone full of annoyance: "Yes, there is an old man who heard that you are a good fisherman, so he wanted to ask you out this weekend to try your luck!"

Bad old man?
Yang Mo opened his mouth widely.

No, not...right?
