1977: It all started with a wrong love

Chapter 124 Sugar-coated bullets
We flew to Guangzhou in the morning and after a short rest, we took a minibus and headed straight to Bao'an County, which is separated from Hong Kong by a river.

At least there are still some tall buildings in Guangzhou.

But when the car drove into Bao'an County, all you could see were farmlands and villages everywhere. The road was winding and bumpy, and dust was always rising up behind the car.

In short, who would dare to believe that on such a piece of land, in 20 or 30 years, a world-class modern city will rise from the ground, one of the four super first-tier cities in China, Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, and the future high-tech industrial capital. Everything will come into being according to the circle drawn in the coming year...

We have reached the checkpoint.

Today, it is still the pass guarded by the ghosts of the Great Yin Empire.

Naturally, the attitude towards these people from the mainland entering the country is not very good.

After quite a few twists and turns, they finally got through the customs smoothly.

Wang Defa didn't dare to stir up trouble or do anything small at such a critical moment. It seemed that he still had some brains. However, seeing that senior sister Guan Shihua and Lu Yifan were talking and laughing, and seemed to be in love with each other, he didn't know to what extent he was stimulated.

After passing the customs and stepping into Hong Kong, everyone got on a brand new bus and started their journey again. They immediately felt a completely different environment.

Not to mention anything else, just the road under your feet is more than ten or a hundred times better than that in the mainland.

The car moved forward. The people who rented the car to greet them were actually official mainland personnel in Hong Kong. Seeing that everyone's eyes were attracted by the tall buildings outside the car window, they all had envious expressions on their faces. They couldn't help but shook their heads, but couldn't say anything.

There's no way around it.

This is true.

This is the case every time we receive visitors from the mainland.

They were already used to this kind of surprised reaction.

The bus drove for an hour and a half and finally arrived at the famous Si Hai Hotel in Sham Shui Po District.

This is the temporary stopover for the secret visiting group.

There are 52 members in the visiting delegation.

Young talents like Lu Yifan only account for a small part.

Most people in the team are actually officials with fundamental purposes.

The biggest task of this trip is to pave the way for the official visits of senior officials next year. Both sides should fully communicate in advance on key nuclear issues to establish a foundation of mutual trust...

Since the mission objectives are different, the requirements for members are naturally different.

The main task of young talent representatives like Lu Yifan is to use their brains to see the world and get in touch with super new things from the outside world.

Everything related to high technology is of utmost importance.

Soon, the team leader assigned guest rooms to everyone according to the name list. The conditions were good, all were four-person rooms with complete water and electricity, electric fans, separate bathrooms, flush toilets, and even an 11-inch black-and-white TV in each room.

Coincidentally, Lu Yifan, Wang Defa, and two other young talents were assigned to the same guest room.

It can be seen that Wang Defa has known the other two for a long time, and they must also be children of military dependents from a certain agency in Beijing.

Lu Yifan doesn't know the person.

Unfortunately, he is well-known and everyone knows him well.

The four of them entered the guest room, closed the door, and their tense emotions immediately relaxed.

"Comrade Yifan, my last name is Song, Song Yuanchao. You should know from my name what year I was born, so I am several years older than you. When we go abroad, we are the closest class brothers. Don't have any mental burden. We will help each other and support each other in the future..."

Among the four, the oldest, Song Yuanchao, was quite humble. He chatted and laughed while talking enthusiastically with Lu Yifan.

The other person was called Xie Sihua, who was skinny and had a pair of glasses that looked like the bottom of a wine bottle. To be more specific, this person had some connections with Lu Yifan before. He was a senior researcher at the Institute of Computing Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and one of the main creators of the domestically produced personal PC Apple computer.

The four young talents, except Lu Yifan, are actually real elite cadres in their respective industries who have worked for many years.

It was Wang Defa, who seemed to be a love rival to Lu Yifan the first time they met.

This person is also a backbone of an important nuclear research unit. He is not a pure brainless idiot, otherwise he would not have been able to join this secret visiting group.

"Damn, capitalist society is so fucking rotten! The toilet is built directly into the guest room. When you take a shit or pee, they are so fucking extravagant that they just flush it with water. Tsk tsk, it is clean indeed, but this artificial manure, is it just wasted by flushing it with water? Don't they know to collect the manure and ferment it to increase production..."

Due to disciplinary constraints, you are not allowed to enter or leave the guest rooms at will, and you are not allowed to leave the Sihai Hotel without permission.

Therefore, the four grown men who had a temporary break soon became extremely bored and started to study the many essential facilities for modern life in the guest rooms.

Song Yuanchao is obviously a chatterbox.

From time to time he would comment on the many facilities in the guest room, and his countless expressions of emotion could be heard by the four of them.

"Hey, Comrade Yifan, why don't you seem to be very curious about everything in the guest room? Could it be that Comrade Yifan has already had the opportunity to experience these sugar-coated bullets of capitalist society?"

Lu Yifan was too lazy to join in Song Yuanchao's astonished and inexplicable comments on the guest room facilities. He lay sideways on his bed and casually flipped through a novel.

The novel was one of the four great classics that he specially brought with him when he left Beijing. It is sold in all major Xinhua bookstores in Beijing.

He didn't want to get involved, but he never expected that Wang Defa had been feeling depressed all the way and had been looking for an opportunity to harm him.

At this moment, he seemed to be calm and composed in his reaction to all the facilities in the hotel rooms, but suddenly his expression became weird.

Listen and listen.

The talkative Song Yuanchao obviously didn't have this subconsciousness.

Listen to Wang Defa's sarcastic ridicule.

He was also immediately curious.

"Comrade Yifan, seeing that you are calm and indifferent to everything in the guest room, have you really had the opportunity to enjoy the sugar-coated bullets of the capitalist society?

Did this happen when you were in the army and were doing big military trade business?
Comrade Yifan, I am really curious about how you negotiated that huge military trade deal worth twenty army divisions?

If it doesn't involve any military secrets,
Can you tell us three about these things?..."

Xie Sihua also became more energetic.

"Yes, yes, Comrade Yifan, please teach us more about your experience and skills in negotiating business with foreigners.

To be honest, during this trip with the delegation, the institute also gave me a very firm mission, which was to try and see if our institute's new personal computers have any chance of finding partners in the North American market.

Comrade Yifan, the institute wants to borrow our personal PC products to earn foreign exchange from my sister's family.

This task is really overwhelming for me, and I don’t have any clue at all…”

Wang Defa: Damn it, did I bring up this topic so that you two could take the opportunity to praise this guy?

However, he also secretly became alert in his heart: this guy named Lu is not someone who can be bullied at will.

But, I will not offend others unless they offend me.

As long as you don't continue to hook up with my fiancée, I'd love to be able to live in harmony with you...
