Back to 1979: Sending the Educated Youth’s Wife Back to the City

Chapter 171 Finally here
There is only an hour time difference between Tokyo and the capital. So the time when Wu Mingju received the goods was about the same as here. It was very convenient for Xiao Shen to call or arrange someone to drive over to report the news.

Of course, Fang Mingche was referring to after-get off work hours. If the car and driver were out, then as long as there were no problems, it would be fine to wait a few hours.

This was because installing a telephone was expensive and inconvenient. Otherwise, he could have installed a telephone in his small side yard and not have to run back and forth like this.

The final payment for this intangible cultural heritage product was over 30,000 yuan. It was hard not to be concerned! This amount of money could drag the weak travel agency into the abyss. If they couldn't collect it, they would still have to pay the balance owed to the manufacturers in various places. Even though they had taken all necessary precautions, they were still worried about Wu Mingju encountering an accident. In short, until the money arrived, they couldn't rest easy.

After the employees dispersed, Fang Mingfeng found an opportunity to ask Fang Mingche, "Mingche, who are you guarding against?"

He must have come over to visit his younger siblings and nephews over the past two weeks. Lin Yan told him that Wang Dexian had been returning to his mother and stepfather's house for dinner every day. He also stopped by the small side courtyard every day to check on little Fang Chang.

But when asked about the details, Lin Yan was also confused.

Fang Mingfeng was not familiar with Wang Dexian, so he waited until now to ask his cousin.

Fang Mingche said, "I'm not guarding against anyone in particular. But think about it, I come from a grassroots background, and now that travel agencies are making so much money, there must be people who don't like me."

No matter how low-key he was, there was nothing he could do. This threat came from two aspects. One was the people who came to unload his wheels in the middle of the night like Liu Sanwa and his group before. The other was the second generation who might secretly want to get a piece of the travel agency pie.

Fang Mingfeng asked, "A share?"

"Yes, put yourself in their shoes. Can those second-generations treat me calmly by taking advantage of the Wang family's influence to make a fortune?"

Although he felt that the travel agency was still in its infancy and even felt that it was struggling, others saw that the travel agency could now make a net profit of more than 20 yuan a year.

Oh, this was before. When the road of selling intangible cultural heritage products becomes wider, and the number of commercial vehicles and manpower increases, this number may double.

Compared to today's average income, this income is quite astonishing! And he took two-thirds of the profit share. How could there not be people who wanted a piece of the pie?

The Wang family took one-third of the profits, and outsiders dared not covet them. But they would definitely dare to take advantage of him, a grassroots. Even some people in the Wang family might think that one-third of the profits was too low! The Wang family was not a monolithic entity.

Besides Old Man Wang, he was only familiar with Wang Dexian, Wang Dezhi, and Wang Defang. The third generation of the Wang family had ten siblings. And Wang Dexian's father had two brothers.

As he made more money, Fang Mingche's desire for a "bodyguard" became stronger and stronger. But the small courtyard was small and difficult to place, and the people here had no idea about "personal bodyguards", so they might make a big fuss about it!

Therefore, moving to the "rich area" and upgrading the security level of one's home is an urgent matter. The easiest way is to rent another apartment in the Overseas Chinese Apartment.

He talked to Wang Dexian in the evening and asked him to keep an eye on it.

Fang Mingfeng thought for a moment, "Yes, this is something we have to be on guard against. Do you know how many people have secretly or openly shared profits from my video parlor?"

At the end of his words, there was a sense of helplessness in his voice.

After the video parlor bought a second color TV and a video recorder, the profit reached more than 2,000 yuan. 30,000 yuan a year is also very scary in a small county. But he could only get about half of it, and the rest had to be shared among various parties who took dry shares.

If you don’t give, they will ask for more!
My cousin's travel agency is undoubtedly making far more money than his video parlor. Initially, only Mr. Wang invested, providing connections. But as the revenue piles up, and it looks like it's going to get even bigger, it's sure to make those in the know jealous. My cousin should be on guard!
In the evening, Fang Mingche drove Fang Mingfeng and his family of five back home. There was no room, so Fang Tong sat on her father's lap.

Because the two brothers had a private conversation and the "News Broadcast" had already started, Fang Mingche did not arrange for a driver to take him there, since the round trip would only take 20 minutes anyway.

When they arrived, Fang Mingche didn't get out of the car. "Second aunt, everyone, take a good rest for two days and we'll get together again later. I'm going back first!"

Second Aunt nodded and said, "Let's go back soon. You must be tired after sitting on the train for three days."

"It's okay, it's much more comfortable than a hard seat."

After his car turned around and drove away, Fang Tong said, "Dad, it's so convenient to have a car!"

Fang Mingfeng patted the back of his head. "Nonsense, how could I not know that? But there's still hope for buying a used car, but you can't get gas tickets for a long time."

Fang Minghui asked, "Brother, isn't Brother Mingche doing much better than you in the capital?"

Although her brother's yard is not small, even bigger than Mingche's, it is near Tiananmen Square. She saw it when she took a bus there in the afternoon.

Fang Mingfeng nodded, "Yes."

The brother and sister looked at each other and remembered that Fang Mingche had sold his job as a public school teacher in the village primary school to Fang Minghui for 500 yuan.

"Brother Mingche said back then that with reform and opening up, everything would be different. I just listened and didn't take it seriously. Now it seems he was right. That's why I resolutely resigned and brought my daughter to the capital to become migrant workers."

Let alone that time. Even now that she has seen this development, she may not be able to make up her mind to resign and join her brother.

After all, a stable job can help people make a living.

After all, she came here to live with her brother and sister-in-law, so she could only work for them. She couldn't get into college, and it wouldn't be easy for her to find a job outside.

Fang Mingfeng said, "That's what I thought at the time. When we drove the same car together, I could tell he was no ordinary person. But the villagers thought he was crazy and accused me of plotting against my fellow tribesman's iron rice bowl."

Before Mingche was admitted to university, his spine was almost broken because of this.

Second Aunt said, "Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Even if everyone can see it, it doesn't really reflect how capable you two brothers are."

My cousin's wife smiled and pointed out the toilet and bathroom she had built. They had already been there, but they had tidied it up themselves to make it look more comfortable.

"Mom, little sister, go wash up and go to bed early. Mingche is right. Let's take a break for two days and then get together."

The second aunt smiled and nodded at her daughter-in-law. "Yes, we're lucky we went with him. Otherwise, we wouldn't know anything. By the way, are you and the child okay?"

"I'm fine. I asked someone to take me to the hospital for a checkup."

"Then can the baby be born here?" Second aunt was a little worried about this.

Fang Mingfeng nodded. "I must have made all the arrangements beforehand before I dared to bring her here. Don't worry, money talks."

Nowadays, management in all aspects is still very chaotic, so impersonation is a piece of cake. Besides, they are not impersonating others to get reimbursement, they pay for it themselves. This makes it easier to operate.

"That's good. Okay, you guys should go back to the house and rest."

When Fang Mingche returned, Xu Sheng, Han Ping and Fang Mingcheng had also taken a shower.

Xu Sheng exchanged a few words with him before going to sleep in the courtyard next door. After three days of continuous train travel, even a sleeper berth would make one feel a little tired.

Gao Xiang and Xiao Xie had already finished watching the News Broadcast and stood up and said, "Xiao Xu, we'll go with you."

They also read books in the evening and usually don't stay to watch TV series. Xiao Xie is very concerned about improving his cultural level.

"Okay."

Xu Sheng's luggage had been carried over before. Fang Mingche also introduced him to the Gu family father and son, Aunt Yuan, Gao Xiang, Song Quan, Zhu Dahai, Hu Yong and others, and told him to just speak up if he had any problems.

In a large compound, almost half of the people were on good terms with the Fang family. The others were also on good terms. So when Xu Sheng moved in, everyone was very welcoming to him.

He also felt that this was better than staying in a guesthouse alone. After all, he was unfamiliar with the place, so it would definitely be better to have someone he knew.

Han Ping and Fang Mingcheng were happily watching TV together. The TV was actually right in their room, so convenient!

Fang Jian was watching it too. It wasn't "Chu Liuxiang," but it was much better than sitting around in the countryside with nothing to do.

Fang Mingche and his family of three didn't watch TV. Yanyan usually only watched children's programs and had already gone to bed with Fang Fang.

Fang Fang was feeling a bit tired herself, so seeing Yan Yan was about to rest, she joined in. As for TV programs, since the TV was at Yaoba's house, there were plenty of opportunities to watch them.

So, she took the initiative to get the bucket and towel, and then scooped the water and carried it over. Otherwise, would she let her mother hold her little cousin and scoop water for them?

She was already over seven years old and usually did all the chores at home. So she took care of her little cousin along with her. When she left, her mother reminded her and her siblings to be sure to do some work when they went to their parents' house.

At this moment, the two girls were breathing steadily and sleeping soundly.

As for Fang Jian, it was convenient for boys. He had also taken a shower and could just go back to his little room to sleep.

Even with him around, after watching TV, everyone could just go back to the main courtyard and ask him to lock the gate to the small side courtyard. Fang Mingche wouldn't have to go out anymore.

The restroom was empty at the moment, so Fang Mingche took out his change of clothes and prepared to scoop up some water to take a shower. There were so many people staying here that they had to queue up just to take a shower!

He said, "At dinner tonight, I saw that Wei You and Xiao Gang were a little listless. Why didn't they pass the exam?"

Lin Yan said: "Wei You was eight points short of the total score for the Finance and Trade School entrance exam. Now we can only wait and see whether his English score will be lowered for admission. As for Xiao Gang, he was more than ten points short."

The college entrance examination results are now out.

Fang Mingche said, "He only missed the mark by a dozen points on the first test, which is pretty good. He must be repeating the year, right?"

Eight points short, that's a bit of a stretch. Five points would be better!

A finance and trade school is just a technical secondary school. But these days, graduating from one is a good starting point. It seems like someone, oh, Huawei's Meng Wanzhou, also got into a finance and trade school during this era.

"Yes. My aunt and uncle heard that Wei You's English grades have improved significantly this year, and they hope that he can pass the exam next year."

Fang Mingche nodded, "Then there is still hope."

In the first year, there was only a gap of more than ten points. If you improve your English, you will have a chance. The proportion of the total English score is increasing year by year.

If Wei You is accepted, Han Mei will no longer be considered a newcomer among the office administrative staff, but will be relatively senior.

Thinking of this, Fang Mingche smiled and said, "Han Mei seems to really want to go to Tokyo."

However, Han Mei was able to work at the travel agency because of her brother-in-law's relationship. Whether she could go abroad or not would definitely require the consent of her brother-in-law, father-in-law, and mother-in-law.

However, Han Mei actually graduated from high school, so her education was not a disadvantage. Her work attitude was also quite good. Of course, if she hadn't had a relationship with Lin Yi, she would definitely not have known so quickly that the travel agency was short of people to apply.

Lin Yan asked, "What if Qin Tianzhen doesn't go?"

Her parents and Lin Yi would definitely not agree to let Han Mei go abroad. That would be too high, too far. Lin Yi would definitely not be able to handle it.

This month alone, if nothing unexpected happens, Han Mei's income is estimated to be around 100 to 80 yuan.

A big order in Tokyo brings in 5000 in profit. They eat the meat, but the broth has to go to the people working below them. Bonuses are a must!

She was not directly involved in this business, but she paid attention to it.

The Japanese and administrative teams worked very hard. So much cargo was sent from so many places, and then it was consolidated and remitted to Tokyo. There was no problem in the overall planning and implementation.

This is the case that there will always be brave men when there is a big reward, and everyone has exerted his or her subjective initiative.

Fang Mingche smiled and said, "He will go. If he really had a taboo, he wouldn't have applied to be a Japanese tour guide. The mainstream idea now is Sino-Japanese friendship. Their former prime minister has also clearly apologized. However, with three people leaving at once, Wei You will probably go back to school. We have to recruit more people! Let Lingzi, Ning Anan, and Cui Yingqi go for the interview first. After they pass the test, I'll take a look. It's best to complete it within half a month."

By the time he comes back, the new staff will have been trained almost completely.

He didn't provide time for specialized training; instead, veterans in various positions mentored new employees. They all had a certain level of savvy, and as long as they were willing to learn, they would definitely pick up the pieces quickly. After all, aside from the drivers, his hiring requirements were quite high, requiring high school graduates.

Lin Yan asked, "You brought two more people from your hometown. What are you going to do?"

"Drivers, they might not be suitable for administrative work. I just don't know how good their language skills are."

Well, next time Qiu Yin asks for someone, I'll send Xiao Hu to her. With Han Ping and Fang Mingcheng, there's no need to hire a driver for the time being.

However, with this speed of development, we need to pay more attention to the training of tour guides.

Every afternoon and Sunday, Teacher Qiu would come to teach Yanyan. He would ask everyone else to come and listen. The progress was different, so the old man had to pay more attention.

Teacher Qiu is grateful and ashamed of him, and will probably take it very seriously. He can then offer him a part-time salary.

Let's leave it at that. We'll have a smooth transition for a while, and then we can consider further expansion. Before National Day, it would be great if we could manage the two overseas offices in Tokyo and London well, and if the travel agency in the capital could also develop steadily.

Fang Mingche showered and went to bed with Lin Yan. He hadn't been having sex for months, so he couldn't waste tonight. In another two weeks, he'd have to go to Tokyo again.

Lin Yan looked at her little son who was sleeping soundly in the crib next to her and said, "He'll need milk soon."

"Won't he wake up until almost 12 o'clock? Don't worry, the battle will be over by then."

Lin Yan raised her hand and patted him, "I'm afraid I won't be able to get up when I turn around."

Fang Mingche looked at the crib and said, "I'll bring him over to eat later." He reached out and lowered the mosquito net.
When the "Evening News" ended, the people who were watching TV in the Westing Room carried their stools back.

Song Quan reminded Fang Jian, "Lock the gate tightly."

Xiao Fang was really relieved and fell asleep right away. Hu Yong beside him laughed softly, "A short separation is better than a new marriage!"

Fang Jian responded, "Don't worry, Uncle Song."

After everyone left, he fixed the door latch and lock as his father had told him to do. He reached out and pulled it to confirm, then went back to his room to sleep. There was moonlight, so he didn't even need to turn on the lights.

He already knew someone had climbed over the wall and removed the two wheels of his father's car. If he were to tell it, the entire perimeter wall should be covered with broken glass to see who would dare to climb over it again.

But my dad said that you can’t do whatever you want within the second ring road of the capital.

Moreover, they had previously sent people on night watch, and they had already caught the thief and sent him to the police station. After that, the area became much quieter. Now there is no need for night watch.

Song Quan, Hu Yong and the others heard the door bolted and locked, and then they walked back to the compound with peace of mind.

"Don't say that, it seems that children in the countryside grow up earlier than those in the city." Children under ten years old in the city tend to be more childish unless their families are in particularly difficult circumstances.

"Yes, I heard that someone as old as Fang Jian could be used as a laborer in the countryside."

Fang Jian went back to the small room and lay down. The bed was a little small, and it was used by his cousin. If it were bigger, he would probably have to sleep with Brother Xu Sheng. It was more comfortable to sleep alone.

Ever since Fang Kang was three years old, he had to sleep with that brat.

At first, I had to hold him up in the middle of the night to pee, or he'd burst into tears. And the next day, even if Mom washed the sheets, he might still pee. Then there wouldn't be any clean sheets left. Who wants to sleep on sheets that have been peed on?

Fang Jian had no choice but to wake his brother up in the middle of the night to pee. Sometimes the little brat would get so sleepy he wouldn't get up that he had to help him pee. Fortunately, he gradually became able to sleep through the night and hold his pee until the next morning.

But one time, he forgot his brother was in bed and just swept him off the bed with a sweeping kick. Then he suddenly remembered and stood up to catch the man who was halfway down.
Fang Jian thought about the life of his father, and his heart was burning with joy. This was indeed much better than his father's life. Moreover, he returned home with wealth and made investments and donations, and was respected wherever he went in the village. Even his family benefited from it. Grandpa and grandma were very proud of his father.

He also wanted such a good life!

Fang Jian didn't recognize his bed and slept soundly. The next morning, he woke up and heard some noise in the courtyard outside. When he opened his eyes, it was already daybreak.

He went to the window and saw Yanyan practicing boxing under a tree. She was doing it in a very organized way! It seemed like he had seen this twice before in the countryside.

As for Fang Fang, she got up, folded the quilt, and then scooped water to wash her face and mouth with Yan Yan. Now she was sweeping the courtyard with a broom, moving lightly.

Last night, they were the first two girls to go to bed, and today they woke up the earliest. Yanyan said that after she finished boxing, she would take her cousin to the cafeteria for breakfast.

Don't worry about other people, just go and eat whenever you wake up. Boss Cui always provides breakfast before 10 o'clock.

Fang Jian also got up and went to the toilet to flush the toilet. Then he came out and went to the kitchen to scoop water to wash his face.

Fang Mingche was actually awake too, and didn't want to move.

Lin Yan sat beside the crib and fed him morning milk. Last night, he kept his promise and came over to take Chang Chang to feed him milk. After he finished, he took him back to the crib to sleep.

But this morning, when Changchang woke up, he refused to move.

"Hey, there are guests at home. Why don't you get up to greet them?" Fang Mingche turned over, "What guests? My own nephews and nieces don't count as guests. Besides, don't we have Yanyan?"

"What about Xu Sheng, Han Ping, and Ming Cheng?"

Oh, yes, and those three, especially Xu Sheng.

Fang Mingche stood up and dressed. When he opened the door to the east room, Han Ping and the others came out. And Xu Sheng also walked slowly over from the next room.

Lin Yan continued to breastfeed. The screen from the east wing had been moved to the east room. The bed was definitely hidden by the screen, so opening the door wouldn't affect it.

Fang Mingche and the other three took turns going to the toilet to flush the toilet.

Xu Sheng said, "I heard from the people in the compound that everyone else has to go to the public restroom to use the toilet?"

Fang Mingche nodded, "Yeah, if you go over there now, you can still see people queuing up to empty the toilet and use the restroom."

It's the morning rush hour and it's very lively.

Han Ping said: "Your place is great, you even built a toilet yourself."

Fang Mingche said, "This was the condition that our landlord, Mr. Gu, agreed to when he asked me to buy his house. At the time, his son's legs were not good enough to walk, so he had to use a wheelchair. It was even more inconvenient to queue up at the public toilet. It was for these two reasons that Mr. Gu was willing to spend a lot of money to build this toilet. Well, hurry up and wash up, then go to the cafeteria to eat."

Everyone had been there last night, so they naturally knew that the canteen he was talking about was a small private restaurant.

Xu Sheng couldn't help but say, "Teacher Fang, this is really convenient for you." For him, any problem that can be solved with money is not a problem.

Fang Mingche smiled, "Yeah, I've always felt that being tied down by three meals a day was troublesome. At the time, your wife and I both had to go to school, so we either ate in the cafeterias of our respective universities or ate there. Later, when we opened a travel agency, we simply let our employees eat there as well. We just keep accounts for our meals anyway."

Yanyan and her two siblings had already packed up, so they didn't wait for their uncles and aunts and went over first. After sitting down, Yanyan ordered a basket of dumplings and three bowls of porridge.

On the way here, she mentioned the breakfast options, and her cousins said they'd just eat this. Eating meat buns is quite rare in the countryside; the usual snacks are steamed buns.

Fang Jian saw the words "Tofu Pudding" written on the wall and said, "Tofu Pudding is available. I'd like another bowl of Tofu Pudding."

Yanyan said: "Well, you can try it. But it's different from the tofu pudding we have in our hometown."

Yanyan's appetite is quite good compared to her peers. She can eat two steamed dumplings and half a bowl of porridge. She is almost as good as Fangfang.

There were three bowls of rice porridge. Fang Fang had a normal bowl, Yan Yan had half a bowl, and Fang Jian had a bowl with some extra.

As for the xiao long bao, there are six in a basket. I originally prepared one for my cousin, but since he wants to eat tofu pudding, I don't need to add one.

By the time Fang Mingche and Xu Sheng came over, the three kids had almost finished their meal. Fang Jian was eating his tofu pudding.

"It's completely different from what we have there! I still prefer the tofu pudding from my hometown."

Really, it doesn't matter how it's prepared; sweet or savory makes a difference. But since he's been asked, he has to eat it. We can't waste food, and we can't waste money. But, we won't eat this tomorrow.

Fang Mingche and his friends ate noodles, two taels of beef noodles per person.

Yanyan and Fangfang finished their meal first. Fangfang asked, "Should we bring anything back for Second Aunt?"

"No need, mom will make the food herself. We can just go back and help look after Changchang."

My mother said that she has many taboos about the food she eats, so she didn't want to cause trouble for Aunt Cui.

Yanyan and Fangfang went back first to help push Fang Chang's stroller.

Fang Chang was awake, and the stroller was in the kitchen, where he could smell his mother's scent. He wouldn't necessarily make a fuss about being held.

Lin Yan quickly made breakfast for herself and then asked them if they had finished eating.

Fang Fang nodded, "Mom, I'm done eating." This is much better than what we eat at home.

"Your dad said that after three days of riding the train, we need to take a break today. I will take you to visit Tiananmen Square."

Xu Sheng and the other three also went together. Xu Sheng would start to work on his own business tomorrow and borrowed Fang Mingche's car.

Han Ping and Fang Mingcheng will take a break today and go back to work tomorrow with Lingzi and the others. They'll start with odd jobs and driving lessons. As for foreign languages, it depends on their comprehension.

Fang Chang was also pushed by his cousin to go shopping in the square. He went there every day.

Fang Mingche walked beside the stroller pushed by Yanyan and Fang Fang, "You guys visit Tiananmen Square every day, this is really a good treat."

Fang Chang must have not recognized him again, so he lay there with an unconscious smile, occasionally making a few "oh" sounds.

This baby carriage was bought at the Friendship Store, and it is the only one in this area. Lin Yan had seen such a beautiful one before, so she didn't want to accept the one her father made of bamboo.

As for her father's claim that it was too expensive, she confidently said, "It's of good quality. I can give it to Lin Yi's children later, and after that I can give it to Xiao Gang and Qiming's children."

Now I raised the bed a little higher and let Fang Chang lie on his stomach. Oh, I also rolled a towel into a vertical tube in the middle and let Fang Chang lie on it. The pediatrician said that this would make it easier for him to pass gas. Two months old is the time when he starts to have flatulence and needs to pass gas. Lying on his stomach will make him more comfortable.

The little guy's neck can occasionally stand up for a while, and then go limp again. Generally speaking, a baby's neck can only stand up when he is three months old. Before that, you need to hold him with some support.

However, Fang Chang yawned again not long after strolling around, and wanted to sleep. Lin Yan squatted down and patted his waist and back to coax him to sleep. Finally, he could sleep by himself without having to hold him all day.

She pulled out a folding stool from the bottom of the stroller and said, "I'll stay here and watch him sleep. You guys can continue shopping."

Fang Mingche nodded and went shopping with the guests together with Yanyan.

Wang Dexian definitely didn't come that afternoon. This made his mother say, "In the past half month, Xiaofang asked him to come every afternoon for dinner. As soon as Xiaofang went home, he stopped coming."

Qin Zhao said, "Isn't this quite normal? After a day's work, it's already tiring. Who would come here every day for no reason? But why does Xiao Fang insist that De Xian come here every day?"

Wang Dexian's mother said, "I guess he's trying to prevent someone from harming his wife and children."

"Aren't the people in the compound quite united? Is it necessary to call Dexian over?"

Wang Dexian's mother said, "Then they are definitely not guarding against thieves like Liu Sanwa."

She had asked her son to come because she was worried about the people in his circle. She knew those people, and they looked down on ordinary people. Xiao Fang was doing better than them, so how could they just stand by and watch?

Qin Zhao clicked his tongue twice, "It's better to live a simple life. I heard that Xiao Fang sells the works of Song Quan's cooperative, other cooperatives, and even many craftsmen from other places to foreign countries, and he can make a lot of money."

"So it attracts attention! If you are not envied, you are mediocre. A talented person like Xiao Fang will definitely be envied."

The next morning, except for Lin Yan and her son, everyone else in the small courtyard got up early. They wanted to watch the flag-raising ceremony, and since it was so close, they had to go and see it.

I watched the flag-raising ceremony at around 7 o'clock, then had breakfast nearby before coming back.

Han Ping and Fang Mingcheng happened to catch a business car coming to pick someone up for work, so they followed it. Xu Sheng also drove Fang Mingche's car and took a middle school student from the neighboring compound who volunteered to lead the way.

Fang Mingche said, "Fang Jian, push your mother's bicycle out. I'll lower the seat to the lowest position for you. You should be able to ride most of the way around without any problem."

Fang Jian happily responded and went in to push Lin Yan's 26-turn women's bicycle. He touched the tire and pumped it up with an air gun.

Fang Fang looked over and said, "Dad, you said you were the one who taught me how to ride a bike."

She still dared to make requests to her father, knowing that he doted on the girls in the family.

"Well, let's go in the afternoon. Let's go for a ride along the central axis."

He took Yanyan and Fangfang with him, and let Fang Jian ride by himself.

Yanyan asked, "Can I learn it?"

Fang Mingche said, "Please wait a little longer."

I'm learning to ride 26 laps, but my legs are still a bit short. Or I can wait until the final payment from Tokyo arrives and buy a small bike.

His travel agency had been running for over six months, and many people in the area depended on him for their livelihoods, so he couldn't keep a low profile any longer. So, he arranged for a stroller for his youngest son and a mini bike for his daughter.

They went out to play, while Wang Dexian received a call from Qin Mu in the office, "Fourth brother, I heard Fang Mingche is back in Beijing?"

"Yeah, what do you want from him?"

"It's not me who wants to talk to him, it's my cousin who wants to talk to him."

Wang Dexian asked, "What are you talking about?"

"My cousin has collected some money, and your travel agency is in need of money right now. I just wanted to ask if he's willing to sell his shares."

Wang Dexian felt like the other shoe had dropped. It turned out that they were guarding against you!
He heard that Qin Mu had a cousin who did things that were quite extraordinary and hung out with some people in society.

“We are not well off, but we are not so short of money that we have to sell our shares.”

Qin Mu said, "I'm just a middleman, and so are you. The details still need to be discussed between the two of them. We can't make the decision for them!"

He made this call to test the Wang family's attitude. Not just Wang Dexian's attitude, but the Wang family's attitude.

Wang Dexian said, "He's been busy lately, preparing to go to Tokyo soon. Let's wait until he gets back from Tokyo before we talk. We're not really that short of money. You've heard that our business in Tokyo is already open."

He hung up the phone and called his third brother, "Third brother, I don't need to bring this up, right?"

Wang Dezhi said, "Even if you don't tell them, they will go directly to Xiao Fang. If Xiao Fang needs help, he will speak up."

The help provided by the Wang family is definitely proportional to Xiao Fang's usefulness to the Wang family.

"Ok."

Wang Dexian was a bit busy today, so he simply called the travel agency office in the afternoon.

"Han Mei, go back and tell your brother-in-law to call me back during work hours tomorrow."

"Oh well."

"By the way, did Wu Mingju call?"

"Here he is. He just arrived this morning. He has received all the goods and rented a car to transport them back to a residential building. The next step is to deliver the goods to your door."

In the afternoon, Han Mei returned home from get off work and went to the small side courtyard to tell Fang Mingche about these two things. Now that she also worked at the travel agency, she didn't need Lingzi to come in and inform her about everything.

Fang Mingche nodded, "Okay, I understand."

Gao Xiang came over and said, "It's arrived, huh? I'm glad it's arrived. I've been thinking about it too."

Next, he will have to keep an eye on the arrival of the final payment.

Lin Yan smiled and said, "You have done a lot of work for me."

Gao Xiang smiled and said, "It's okay to do this now."

It's still a makeshift team, so it's OK for him to be both accountant and cashier. Actually, it's not much work. But from the financial principle, accountant and cashier should be separated, and they can supervise each other. Otherwise, it's easy to get into trouble.

The next morning, Fang Mingche took Yanyan and her siblings to Beihai Park to go boating.

After lunch, they went to the travel agency's office. He asked them to close the door of the conference room so they could watch a movie inside, and he went into the office to call Wang Dexian.

Wang Dexian told him what happened, "I thought you would call me this morning. I originally said that I didn't need to tell you anything, but Third Brother said that even if I don't tell them, they would come to find you themselves. But if you need anything, you can ask the Wang family for help."

He felt a little annoyed. If he was a person who had the final say in the Wang family, and had more power and status than the Qin family, he would have directly blocked Qin Mu.

You can't judge a person by his appearance. It's a pity that the travel agency brought so much business to his Cantonese restaurant.

Fang Mingche said, "We brought them business and received 20% of the meal fee, so we have already paid for the goods. As for his cousin wanting to buy my shares, as long as it is in accordance with the rules of the market, I will just refuse directly."

Wang Dexian said, "You know what's going on. It won't be that easy. My third brother also has to consider the Qin family's reputation. Besides, we are in a cooperative relationship."

The Wang family and Xiao Fang are in a cooperative relationship, and Xiao Fang has autonomy. The Wang family directly refused to act as a matchmaker, and they could say that he is not your servant, so why are you making decisions for him?

"I know. Didn't Third Brother Wang say that I could ask for help if I needed it? Just tell him that we can talk about it after I get back from Tokyo. We'll make an appointment then!"

When he returns from Tokyo, the final payment will have been received. The weight of the travel agency back then is also different from what it is now.

Wang Dexian said, "They want to pick our peaches now! Don't worry, if they dare to use force, I will definitely not stand idly by."

"I know, otherwise why would I ask you to go for a spin every day?"

He and the Wang family were in partnership, so there were some things he had to handle himself. After all, what Qin Mu's cousin wanted to buy was his shares, which had nothing to do with the Wang family for the time being.

But they dared to intervene like this. Was it because Mr. Wang was holding them back? Or was it best to resolve the matter between him and Wang Dexian?
Never mind, he couldn't know more about the inside story. He couldn't let go of Shancai anyway!
Wang Dexian asked, "We really aren't that short of money, are we?"

If you are short of money and the other party can provide a large sum of money to expand your business as quickly as possible, you can put pressure on them through official channels.

"We didn't ask your father to go to the bank and approve a loan for us in violation of regulations. Even if there was a loan, it was secured by a brand new commercial vehicle. It's completely in line with the bank's rules. Fortunately, they shouldn't be able to interfere with what's going on in Tokyo."

Publicly, travel agencies sell intangible cultural heritage products abroad, earning foreign exchange for the country. If anyone dares to mess with them, the travel agencies can make a big fuss. Personally, do they really think Mr. Wang is just there to eat?

Wang Dexian said: "Yes, yes, yes, our operations can withstand scrutiny."

Fortunately, the old man was very disciplined. In fact, he had originally thought of asking the old man to call the bank's top management. That would have given him something to talk about.

They said they also wanted to earn foreign exchange for the country and contribute to it, but their flat refusal gave them an excuse.

Fang Mingche said, "Okay, I know what's going on. Third Brother Wang said that I can ask for help if I need it."

If it really doesn't work, the Wang family is still willing to offend people and tear their faces because of him, that's good! Of course, the Wang family's idea is that it's better not to tear their faces.

Fang Mingche hung up the phone. What was coming had come. This matter could only be resolved. He couldn't just give up and say that at worst, they could just break up. This would be disregarding the overall situation. From a small perspective, "Without you, the butcher Zhang, how could we still eat hairy pigs?" The key point was that what he had done before had become a favor to others.

He walked to the meeting room, where three children were watching "Friends". This was a new movie released this year, starring Wang Xingang and Zhang Yu. They played General Cai and Xiao Fengxian.

It seems that he was away, and the people in the office asked Lao Cheng and others to rent it from the Beijing Normal University Cinema. He had gone there before to make connections, and he was generous with the money. So this operation is feasible.

Han Mei had just shown the movie to them. She was now an office administrator, and it was her job to show movies on Saturday nights.

"So, are you guys going to continue watching the movie or go out and play?"

Yanyan didn't quite understand, but it would be fine if someone explained it to her. Since it was her older brothers and sisters who came to play, it depended on their opinions.

Fang Fang didn't say anything, she could do anything.

Fang Jian said, "Dad, let's go to the movies."

There's no sun in the morning, so it's a good time to go out and play. Let's just watch a movie indoors. It's great here at Daddy's place; I can watch my own movies. It's better than playing videos at Grandpa's place.

Yanyan watched for a while and felt sleepy. She ran to the sofa in the small office to take a nap. Fang Jian and Fang Fang stayed in the conference room to watch a movie.

Fang Mingche sat at his desk, handling some matters.
