Rebirth in 1993, My Dad is a Returned Youth

Chapter 229 The fake Li Kang appeared
Thousands of miles, I'm chasing you

But you don't care
You don't seem to be in my dream
……

……

Time and time again you ask me
Ask me if I hate you
……

Xu Meiqun was in a rare good mood these days and couldn't help humming one of her favorite songs.

Li Kang was unfamiliar with the song Xu Meiqin was humming. "Sister Xu, what song is this? I have never heard of it before."

"No way, it's the theme song of the popular TV series 'Beijingers in New York'. Wang Jie also went to New York."

"New York seems to be a really good place. I can see it from TV. It is much better than Shanghai. It is said that Li Hongzhang saw those buildings there in the past."

When Li Hongzhang went to New York, he was wearing the official uniform of the Qing Dynasty. He looked even worse than a country bumpkin coming to the city.

After all, when Granny Liu went to the Grand View Garden, she was in her own country, but he went abroad to embarrass himself.

Like a group of modern people watching primitive people, after returning, they began to send students abroad and promote the Westernization Movement.

"I hope I can visit New York one day. Alas!"

She sighed slightly. She had no money now and didn't want to see Wang Jie again.

"Sister Xu, actually, Tokyo next door isn't much different from New York."

"I still noticed it. Sister Xu, I've also been to Tokyo. It looks better than Shanghai, but worse than New York. Maybe it's because I made the comparison subjectively. As the most prosperous city in the United States, New York is definitely more magnificent than the big cities in Japan."

After having a quick meal at Xu Meiqi's house, we went to the office together in the afternoon.

Wang Ziming was also brought out. It was Sister Xu’s request because she was worried about leaving a six-year-old child home alone.

After arriving at the office, Li Kang also specially invited two capable assistants, Chen Xu and Cao Fangmin.

"Brother Chen, Sister Min, I am planning to set up a marketing department recently, and I came to discuss it with you."

The two looked at each other, still not quite understanding what marketing was. The word sounded very unfamiliar.

At that time, the concept of marketing was not yet well known to everyone.

Cao Fangmin looked thoughtful, "Mr. Li, are you talking about advertising sales?"

"Yes. Let me introduce you to them."

"Come in, Sister Xu, and say hello to your future colleagues."

A few people looked outside the door and saw a woman with an extraordinary figure walking in.

The first impression was that she was capable and said to them with a smile: "Hello, I'm Xu Meiqin. I will be responsible for the marketing of our little family in the future."

"Hello." Cao Fangmin shook hands with her politely.

For Li Kang's sake, Chen Xu also shook hands with him.

"Ms. Xu, what are you going to do?"

Before Xu Meiqi came, she had already discussed this with Li Kang, and most of the ideas were proposed by Li Kang.

So I started communicating with them.

After the communication, Chen Xu changed his contempt for her and felt very surprised by her.

Where did this kid Li Kang find such a good woman?

The ability, conversation, temperament and image must all be very good.

Seeing her wearing all kinds of jewels, she is obviously a rich person. She can’t be the rich woman behind Li Kang.

No matter how Chen Xu guessed, he couldn't guess the true relationship between the two.

Li Kang finally made the decision, "Let's do this from now on. Sister Xu will be responsible for publicity, enrollment, and advertising. The three of us will have to cooperate with each other."

Everyone is responsible for personnel matters, but Li Kang usually holds a meeting once a week.

It is not only for teaching and vocational skills training, but also for declaring sovereignty and status.

Li Kang is willing to delegate power to them, but he must hold on to influence.

After planning the goals, Li Kang also provides guidance and suggestions for each project.

"Sister Cao, I recently found a teaching building that is more suitable for you. You can go and have a look after get off work. That old man..."

"Okay, I'm paying attention to that too. But why don't we build a comprehensive building and put all the students in one school? This way we can coordinate planning and save resources."

"I'll think about it later. I'll try to rent a house and make use of the existing conditions."

After the chat, Li Kang went to look for someone as usual.

He is absolutely confident in Sister Xu.

Even if Cao Fangmin and Chen Xu have some problems, it won't have any impact.

I always take some time after get off work to interview some available teachers.

Ye Yuqing called him and said, "I'm going to your place this weekend, are you there?"

"I have to go to Li Jianhua's place and will be back late."

"Oh~! Yunuo and I are back. We wanted to put on a show for you."

"Then I'll come back later. The atmosphere will be better later."

Xiao Yunuo was often brought to Ye Yuqing's house to play. After so many times, he brought back some musical instruments from school.

I once heard from Ye Yuqing that Xiao Yunuo was very popular in school. He had even been on TV and performed on TV.

At school, she has a stage every day.

Li Kang hasn't been to South China Normal University for a long time, so he is not very clear about it.

After finishing today's work, he still has to go to Li Jianhua's house.

It’s not that Li Jianhua asked him to go, but the two of them didn’t have much communication on a regular basis.

Li Kang would only ask him for help when he had something to do, and Li Jianhua would help him whenever he could.

The person who called was Jiang Meiling. The two of them still contacted each other occasionally.

Li Kang is too busy and he has two and a half girlfriends, so he is too busy to be busy at all.

Although the other person was also beautiful, on the same level as Ye Yuqing and Fang Linxue, she did not stimulate him much.

There is Li Jianhua in between us, so it would be enough for us to be just ordinary friends.

Jiang Meiling, however, still couldn't forget him. After going to school, she often compared the boys around her with Li Kang.

There were not many boys in Shanghai International Studies University to begin with, and after her selection, she found that there was not a single one that caught her eye.

Old man Jiang is here today too. It’s him who called Li Kanglai.

"Xiao Mu, has the last issue been resolved? Is it a big problem?"

"Thank you, Mr. Jiang. Wu Dayong is now on the right track. I guided him to look at a security company, and I own 20% of the shares. In today's social situation, there is still room for security companies. I plan to let him continue to expand and also get involved in insurance."

"Security and insurance." Old Man Jiang laughed, "That's a good idea."

He did not oppose it, but was very supportive. If everyone goes to the market to make a fuss, the market will be vibrant.

"You, Mr. Jiang, were not as open-minded as you are now a year ago. On the contrary, you were very stubborn and always criticized the market economy for being bad. Now that you see the potential, you want to make the market prosperous."

The third generation speech in 92 resolved the controversial issues in society.

In 91, a key issue discussed in society was what surnames people in mainland China had.

Jie Bao used the pen name Huang Puqi to publish the remarks made by Xing Shi. Later, Big Brother Ren Bao sharply criticized this view that denied the status of the planned economy.

Then a large group of younger brothers followed and fiercely and sharply criticized Huang Puqi's views.

Huangpu Qi debated with the scholars, showing a bit of the style of Crouching Dragon. In the end, it was the top leaders who set the tone and liberated people's minds.

It was also at that time that Old Man Jiang attained enlightenment and became a staunch supporter of the market economy.

I particularly like young people like Li Kang who dare to think and take risks.

As for people like Wu Dayong, there are many in society. As long as they are willing to mend their ways, as Grandpa Deng said, a cat can catch mice, whether it is black or white.

Old Man Jiang is also unusually tolerant towards this kind of people.

"Last time we went to Yunnan, we also went to Xishuangbanna. These are the wild dried mushrooms we brought back. Take a pack and try them."

Old Mrs. Mei smiled and handed him a bag of local specialties, as well as some other specialties from Yunnan.

Li Kang couldn't help but wonder why these two old men were so nice to him.

Suddenly, he broke out in a cold sweat. Could it be that they had doubts about his identity?

Old man Jiang began to explain his motivation for going to Yunnan.

"There's a relative of ours in Yunnan whom we haven't seen for more than ten years. Let's go and see him. Jianhua doesn't have time, so we'll go."

"Xiao Mu, you know what, Xishuangbanna is a beautiful place. If the country develops, it will definitely be very profitable to develop tourism there. After I came back and told your uncle Li about it, he wanted to quit his current job and go into business."

It is a common phenomenon in this era for civil servants to resign and start their own business.

One is that this group of people have a broader vision and knowledge, as well as connections, so the possibility of success is very high.

Another reason is that the mainland was very short of talent at that time. Although some industries may not seem difficult in the future, they could not be done without them in this era. There was no talent in society.

Li Jianhua is not the only one who wants to quit his job and start a business.

More people have already started working.

These people were called the 92 School, and many of them became masters who founded their own schools, such as Chen Dongsheng, Mao Zhenhua, and Tian Yuan.

The famous Taikang Life Insurance was founded by Chen Dongsheng.

"I've thought it through. I'll just keep doing my current job. In this society, you need people to fight for you, but you also need people to protect you. If a reformer like me leaves, the conservatives may take over."

Li Jianhua just came back, followed by Jiang Meiling.

"Lingling is back!"

"Teacher Mu, you are here!"

Li Kang nodded. He hadn't seen Jiang Meiling for a month. She had become more beautiful after going to college.

Her hair was permed into wavy curls, and she wore tight jeans and a crop top.

When the two old men saw their granddaughter dressed like this, they couldn't help but blame her, "Why are you dressed like this? It's immoral."

"Okay, okay! I'll go change right away. Many people in foreign countries dress like this now, and there are many women in school too."

She changed quickly and instantly turned into a lady from a noble family.

"Just now someone came downstairs to claim his relatives. Who is the real Li Kang?"

The family sighed, "You used the wrong method. Who told you to put it in the newspaper?"

Jiang Meiling felt a little aggrieved, "I also wanted to find Li Kang as soon as possible, but I didn't expect so many people would come to claim their relationship."

Li Kang was a little confused at first, but after hearing it, he was so shocked that he didn't know what to say.

This family actually put an ad in the newspaper to find him.

And now a lot of people want to come and claim their relationship.

After reading what they published in the newspaper, Li Kang was completely speechless.

It said that there was a child from Yunnan in their family who hadn't been seen for more than ten years. His mother died, so he came to Shanghai to find his father.

My father’s name is so-and-so. If anyone knows him, please contact me.

When they heard that it was Li Jianhua, many people began to have evil thoughts.

What’s more important is that they have their eyes on the father-in-law behind Li Jianhua, who is the most important figure.

Who doesn’t want to have a relationship with the Jiang family? Then, when starting a business in Shanghai, you will have a smooth journey and no one will dare to mess with you.

So these people took advantage of the loophole and found many children who had fled to Shanghai from Yunnan and brought them to Shanghai to seek recognition as their relatives.

I've seen dozens of them now.

"None of the children these people sent look anything like Jianhua. They're not even as similar to Xiaomu and Jianhua." Jiang Yaqin's unintentional words aroused everyone's suspicion.

I hadn't noticed this before, until the letter from Yunnan came, when the name Li Kang appeared in this family.

I originally thought that Mu Zikang and Li Jianhua looked like a coincidence, but now they are sitting together.

"I think you two look like father and son!! Could it be that Li Kang is you?"

Jiang Meiling said this with a mentality of stirring up trouble, as if she was not afraid of getting into trouble.

Li Kang and Li Jianhua also reacted quickly.

Li Jianhua: If Xiao Mu were my son, he would be my pride!
He had long wanted to adopt Li Kang as his godson, but unfortunately this kid didn't give him face.

Li Kang: Then you and I are brother and sister!
Jiang Meiling rolled her eyes instantly and didn’t want to pay any more attention to this heartless man.

She raised her hand and shook her wrist, deliberately showing him an exquisite bracelet.

"Does the bracelet look nice?" He deliberately said to Li Kang.

"They look beautiful, Lingling. Mom wants one too." Jiang Yaqin said first.

"…Hey, a boy gave this to me. It's pretty nice."

"It looks good, doesn't it?" Jiang Meiling smiled, somewhat proudly, "This is a handmade bracelet made for me by someone personally."

The whole family listened to the conversation between the two and looked over, "Lingling, do you have a partner?!"

The whole family wants to know who Jiang Meiling’s boyfriend is.

Jiang Meiling blushed and felt a little regretful when asked this question.

I originally just wanted to test Li Kang's reaction, but the family's reaction was even more intense.

On the other hand, someone is sitting on the Diaoyutai.

He was calm and composed, sitting there drinking tea and watching the show, acting like an outsider.

Jiang Meiling was in a miserable situation. Her family surrounded her and kept asking her who her boyfriend was and how he treated her.
What are your plans for the future?

It seems like when you are in a relationship, you should aim to get married.

In the end, Jiang Meiling was really annoyed by the questions and couldn't handle it anymore, so she left this place of trouble.

"This kid, he didn't even tell us about his relationship."

"Xiao Mu, do you know she has a boyfriend? Who is it? Is he from the same school as her?"

Li Kang smiled mysteriously, "It doesn't necessarily mean that she has a boyfriend."

The older generation didn’t quite understand and asked, “Her bracelet is so beautiful, it must have been given by someone else. How could it not be her boyfriend? We have never taught our daughters to accept things from other boys if they are not her boyfriend.”

Old Man Jiang and Old Lady Mei became angry, mistakenly thinking that Jiang Meiling was trying to trick people.

Deliberately hooking up with other boys.

Li Kang felt dizzy. The older generation's thinking was still too conservative, or even simple.

In their view, one should be grateful for what one has received and be soft-hearted when one has received something from someone else.
