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

Chapter 172 No Agreement
Because the advance payment from Tokyo had arrived, Gao Xiang paid the salary that had been delayed for ten days today. In order to collect the advance payment and shipping fee for the 50,000 yuan order, the travel agency's funds were really drained.

Fang Mingche considered whether to use the money from the scrap yard to settle the salary first. But after repeated consideration, he decided that it would be better to keep the finances of the two families separate. He originally considered whether to do it the same way as last time, with a monthly interest rate of 1%, and borrow from the scrap yard first.

But after thinking about it, it's not just his. It's better to let everyone share the joys and sorrows with the travel agency, so that they can have a stronger sense of participation and work more actively. Otherwise, everyone from the Wang family to this place will use his private scrap yard as a backup vault.

Anyway, after the balance is collected, there will definitely be rewards for the three troops. So we waited until the advance payment from Tokyo arrived before paying everyone. Moreover, we only paid basic wages. The bonus for this big order was not paid this time because 70% of the balance has not yet arrived!

Because the car was lent to Xu Sheng, Fang Mingche took the three children and waited until after get off work, then took a business car back to the small courtyard together.

Fang Mingche did not ask much about what Xu Sheng did. He did not have any connections in the black market, and if he wanted to buy the in-demand goods on the black market, he would ask someone to buy them for him and pay a handling fee. He just introduced Sister Cui to him so that he could find out some information.

Xu Sheng was busy anyway, leaving home early and returning late. He used to smuggle goods from the south, but the goods route from the south was not so stable now. If he could get access to the goods source in the north, he would have the goods when others didn't, and this would be his unique business.

That day, a group of people had dinner at Boss Cui's house and went home. Lin Yan wanted to make dinner for herself, so she asked Fang Mingche to look after Changchang.

Fang Chang was very happy, being held by his father and having his three brothers and sisters playing with him.

At this moment, a loud noise broke out from Lao Zhou at the entrance of the alley. Fang Mingche looked up in confusion.

Yanyan, who always loves to join in the fun, immediately went to the gate of her own courtyard to see what happened. Fang Mingche thought: No wonder you and Qin Hua can become close friends regardless of age difference.

However, it might be the nature of the Chinese to join in the fun. Not only Yanyan, but Fangfang and Fangjian also joined in. However, they were older and could not get close to the door.

Lin Yan even poked her head out of the kitchen. People from the compound next door also came out to see what was going on.

Then, Lingzi suddenly rushed out of the house. Lao Zhou followed her with a thorn stick in his hand, and he was very agile. He was shouting, "I'm going to beat you to death--"

Yanyan showed an anxious look on her face, seeing that Lingzi was about to be caught. Twice, the whip that Lao Zhou was swinging almost hit her back.

Yanyan looked back at Fang Mingche, "Dad——"

Nowadays, it is almost natural for a father to beat his son or daughter. As the saying goes, "Good people come from under the yellow broom stick." Therefore, even if Fang Mingche is Lingzi's boss, it is not easy for him to interfere.

But Lingzi is already 18 years old, and it really doesn’t look good to beat her like this!

Fortunately, when Lingzi saw that she was about to be caught up, she ran straight to the small side courtyard.

Fang Mingche said: "Yanyan, get out of the way—" Don't join in the fun and get hurt accidentally.

Yanyan reacted and ran back quickly.

Fang Mingche walked over a few steps. After Lingzi ran in, he covered Fang Chang's eyes and kicked the door shut.

Old Zhou didn't stop when he saw Lingzi running into the small side yard, and he chased her in with the bramble in his hand. Fang Mingche kicked his own door, and the door almost hit him in the face.

He dodged it narrowly and said through gritted teeth: "You——"

Fang Mingche, who was still wrapping his son in his arms, said directly, "If you want to beat your daughter, we outsiders have no right to interfere. I kicked my own door, and you have no right to interfere! Mr. Zhou, you are really powerful. You came to my house to beat people up while wielding a whip! You almost beat my son who was only more than two months old! I had people come to my house to beat me up, but they only kicked my own door. I didn't kick you, did I?"

In fact, he was the one who came forward, but Lao Zhou did come to the door.

Fang Mingche looked down at his son. Fang Chang opened his big, clear eyes and was not scared at all!
The people in the compound who were watching nearby said one after another, "Yes, Lao Zhou, you really went too far! How can you beat someone up in their home? This is too much of a bully."

Lao Zhou shouted at Lingzi who ran in, "Come out here!"

Fang Mingche said, "If you have something to say, let's talk it over. Why are you yelling at my door?"

Aunt Yuan also said, "Yes, let's talk it out. The child is already this old, even if he did something wrong, can't we criticize and educate him?"

The aunt who manages Lao Zhou's courtyard had not arrived yet, so she stepped forward to persuade him.

Ning Anan and others who were watching TV inside also came out and asked, "Yes, Uncle Zhou. Lingzi was working at the travel agency today and just came home to eat. What kind of heinous thing could she have done that made you chase her like this?"

Xiao Mo even directly took Lingzi's arm and looked at Lao Zhou angrily. They were of similar age and had the best relationship in the travel agency.

The three drivers also stood up, without saying anything, and just stood there.

Han Mei was also talking to Lin Yan in the kitchen. Just now, Lin Yan came out to see what happened, so she asked her to help her watch the pot.

After dinner, they usually watch the "News Broadcast" before leaving. This is the case for those who live far away. Those who live nearby also watch TV dramas before leaving.

Old Zhou pointed at Lingzi angrily and said, "She has grown so independent that she found a job through the phone at home and doesn't pay her family back after receiving her salary."

Lingzi said, "Didn't I pay? I said I would give my family 15 yuan a month in addition to the 10 yuan for food. You insisted on taking 80% of all my income! You even wanted 80% of my bonus in a few days. You said you wanted to raise money for your sister to go to the United States, but she has already gone there. She still has a job and a salary!"

Fang Mingche said, "I already pay 25 yuan a month, and you still want to beat me up? Go ask the young people in this area, how many of them who have just started working pay 25 yuan to their families every month?"

Old Zhou said confidently: "She has a high income, so shouldn't she pay more?"

Everyone in this area knew that Lao Zhou was stingy. Some people even called him a "grubber" behind his back. When you make a phone call to him, you never round off the amount, you just pay it in.

Hu Yong said: "Even if your income is higher than others, it doesn't make sense to hand over 80%."

"Yeah, yeah, that's too much!"

"Before, they said they were saving money for Yingzi to go to the United States, but it's impossible for Yingzi to take all the money in the family."

Fang Mingche said: "I have paid back all the money owed to Lao Zhou."

Tsk, I have to put the installation of the telephone on the agenda. I still feel a little sad when I think about the 5000 installation fee. However, if it is installed before the end of August, I can get a 8 yuan refund.

But with Lao Zhou, the only way to get a refund is if he asks not to rent anymore. So Fang Mingche doesn't plan to ask for it himself. But the phone can be installed. And the contact number printed on the promotional brochure will be changed after it is installed.

When everyone heard that Fang Mingche had returned all the money, they all curled their lips. With Old Zhou's behavior, there was no way he would give all the money to Yingzi and take it away.

At this moment, everyone thought that there was only the 5000 yuan borrowed at the beginning. There must be more money on hand, but he forced his eldest daughter to hand over 80% of her salary, which was really too much.

Aunt Yuan said, "I know you have a son, but there's no point in robbing your daughter like this. If you treat your daughters like this, how can you expect them to treat you when they grow up? Are you asking Yingzi to send back 80% of her salary? Oh, and your son will have trouble finding a partner when he grows up if he hands over 80%."

Not only my son, but also my daughter would have a hard time finding a date if they were controlled like this. Anyway, she would not be able to introduce anyone to me if I asked her.

The people around him also thought this was correct. Even Han Mei was nodding!
Lin Yan looked at her with amusement. Didn't you hand in all the money before you got married? Even after you got married, your mother and your brother went to the hospital gate and took away more than 16 yuan. That was almost all the money you made from selling eggs.

However, Han Mei has become tough now. In order to work at the travel agency, she strictly followed the agreement between the two families before marriage that they would only give her 10 yuan a month. And after a while, she found that she was being tough, and her parents actually had no other way to deal with her. This has become a regular practice!
Lao Zhou said: "I'll keep it for them! They are young and don't know how to count. They just spend the money as it comes."

This is not without reason, if it is really just for safekeeping. But we are not fools. If we have a son and a daughter, can we let our daughter take all the money away when she gets married? Impossible.

Lingzi said: "I am already eighteen years old, an adult. I will go to the bank and open a passbook to deposit it."

The people from Lao Zhou's compound and Aunt Wu, the aunt in charge of the compound, also arrived. When they heard what was said, they also said that Lao Zhou had passed away.

Old Zhou said, "Our whole family is going to the United States. We can't rely on Yingzi all the time before we find a job. So now, we have to save as much money as we can. All the money for the family must be put together and kept by me. This is the most effective way to manage money."

After he said that, he said to Lingzi, "If you don't want to come back, don't come back!" After that, he picked up the stick and left.

Outside, everyone said he was wrong, and he would slowly clean up after he got home. He just didn't believe it, and he could not go home. If he didn't go home, he would sleep under the bridge?

The Fang family didn't have any extra rooms. One of their own guests was currently living in the compound. It was even less likely that other families would have extra rooms to accommodate them.

Ning Anan and Xiao Mo rented a room together at the Qiu family. When Qiu Yin was at home, she lived with Grandma Qiu. Could it be that Lingzi went to live with Grandma Qiu?
After Lao Zhou returned, the others dispersed, although there was certainly some discussion.

Just to say that Zhou ordered his daughter to hand over 80% of her income was indeed excessive. But some people think that if it was to save money to go to the United States, it is not unreasonable.

Someone gloated, "Hey, you said, Lingzi has already started to rebel. Now that Yingzi is so far away from home, will she honestly send back 80% of her income?"

"Just wait and see. It's been a while since I left."

"Don't mention it. Old Zhou's family assets should be counted."

Everyone knows that Zhou's family is wealthy, after all, he has an American uncle and a pay phone. But because he is so stingy in his daily life, it is really hard to associate him with "rich people".

Aunt Wu frowned. It would be a shame if she continued to make a scene. If she continued to make a scene, the street office would ask her about the situation.

So, she followed Lao Zhou home and tried to persuade him. Even though she was your daughter, you can't do this. The landlord can't collect 80% of the rent from the farmers!

In the small side courtyard, Fang Mingche asked Lingzi, "What are your plans?"

If nothing unexpected happens, Lingzi will definitely be beaten when she returns home tonight. Lao Zhou beats her behind closed doors, and if the noise is not too loud, it will be difficult for others to intervene. He is Lingzi's boss, but he cannot interfere too much.

Lingzi thought for a moment and said, "I heard that Mr. Fang's students are leaving soon?"

Fang Mingche looked at Xu Sheng and asked, "Have you finished your work?"

Xu Sheng nodded. "It's almost complete. I was just about to tell the teacher."

This time, I didn't have much trouble buying sleeper tickets and meeting people in the black market (introduced by Mrs. Cui). This is not something that can be achieved by just having money.

Fang Mingche said: "If you are not in a hurry, you can stay in the capital to have fun. But if you are in a hurry to go back to deal with things, ask Lingzi to give you a letter of introduction."

"Well, I plan to leave the day after tomorrow."

Lingzi said, "I will stay at a classmate's house nearby tonight and tomorrow night, and then continue to rent that room the day after tomorrow."

Fang Mingche said nothing. This arrangement was fine. If he lived at home, he would probably still be exploited. Then he would eat with everyone else at Boss Cui's place.

As Wang Dezhi expected, Qin Mu and his cousin couldn't wait for Fang Mingche to come back from Tokyo, so they called the office the next day. When they heard that Fang Mingche was not there, they asked someone to bring him a message.

Fang Mingche naturally took the children out to play that day.

Fang Fang also learned how to ride a bicycle, and now she would ride in the alley behind the small courtyard when she had nothing to do. Fang Jian and she took turns riding. Yan Yan, who had short legs, could only watch enviously from the side.

Fang Mingche said, "Be careful. If a car crashes, it can be repaired, but if a person falls, it will hurt."

As a result, Fang Fang really fell down, with the bicycle on top of her. She didn't care that she hadn't stood up yet, and just wanted to pick up the bicycle.

Fang Jian went over to fix the car and pulled his sister up, "Are you okay?"

His father told him that the greatest heroes serve their country and their people. However, if you can't clean up your own house, how can you clean up the world? Therefore, you must start by caring for the women and children at home. Be a hero who can stand tall and be relied on by women and children.

Moreover, now that the brother and sister are traveling together to Beijing, he will definitely take better care of his sister than he usually does at home.

Fang Fang moved her hands and feet, "It's okay."

After Fang Mingche and Lin Yan found out, they felt relieved when they saw that she was indeed fine.

The next day, Fang Mingche drove Xu Sheng to the train station first.

Xu Sheng said: "Teacher Fang, I'm leaving now. Sorry for disturbing you these days!"

"Why are you being so polite? I wasn't being polite to you before. But I think that as the country gradually liberalizes the supply, the black market may not be a long-term solution. You have to make up your mind."

Xu Sheng nodded. "Yes, after a few days in the capital, I feel the same way. Resources are indeed being liberalized, and they are not as scarce as they were in previous years."

"Yes, after all, the country's doors are opening."

"Well, I'll think about what to do next."

After leaving the train station, Fang Mingche took the three children to the library and let them read in the reading room.

The three children were stunned when they saw the multi-story Capital Library, where each room was filled with so many books! Compared to this, the reading room in their village was like a slope to Mount Tai.

This is the children's reading room, and there are some children with keys hanging around their necks. So these three siblings don't stand out at all here.

There is no family planning now, so there are not so many human traffickers. If there were no human traffickers, children would not be lost.

Fang Mingche gave Fang Jian three yuan and said, "If I don't come to pick you up at noon, the three of you can go to a restaurant together at the door."

Yanyan said: "My uncle's house is nearby."

"Your uncle and aunt are at work. Your aunt also ate your cousin's meal and then took a portion back from the cafeteria." Fang Mingche didn't really want to deal with the Zhu family.

Yanyan nodded, "Oh."

After settling them down, Fang Mingche went to the office again. Cui Yingqi followed him in when he saw him.

"Teacher Fang, this is what you want." He handed over a Walkman he bought in Japan, which had a recording function.

Fang Mingche looked for it in the Friendship Store, but couldn't find it. This thing was invented by Sony in Japan in 1979. It has not been imported into the country yet, and the Friendship Store in the capital doesn't sell it yet. Nowadays, those children from the big courtyards who wear bell-bottom pants and dance disco are all portable and bulky.

I asked Cui Yingqi, and Cui Yingqi said he had it and brought it to me today.

"Okay, I'll borrow it."

"It's okay, use it as you like."

Fang Mingche prepared a blank tape and put it in his handbag.

He didn't use the old-fashioned handbag, which, when paired with a teacup, looked like an old cadre.

This bag is a business handbag that Lin Yan bought at the Friendship Store. It is quite fashionable. It is not big, and it cannot fit a large tape recorder. Not to mention one, it cannot even fit half of it.

After a while, Fang Mingche came out with a handbag and drove to the Cantonese restaurant.

When he arrived, he was welcomed upstairs by the waiter. Qin Mu and his cousin Cao Ze were already waiting inside. Seeing Fang Mingche coming in, Qin Mu stood up and greeted him with a smile, "Mingche is here. Come, let me introduce you. This is my cousin Cao Ze. He runs his own business."

Cao Ze also politely extended his hand. Fang Mingche shook hands with him and then sat down on the sofa.

"Qin Mu, Wang Dexian told me about what you said. Although we can explain it clearly over the phone, I think it's better to come here and talk it out in person. Although the travel agency is a little tight, it's not so tight that I need to sell my shares. Besides, even if we really need money, Grandpa Wang and I can each inject more capital."

Seeing that this person refused immediately, Cao Ze also said directly: "Isn't the travel agency short of money? It just mortgaged 30,000 yuan, and this month's salary was delayed for ten days?"

Virtue, I was originally planning to use courtesy before force!
Fang Mingche's face changed! These two people not only knew that he had taken out a mortgage of 30,000 yuan from the bank, but also knew that their travel agency had delayed paying wages for ten days. This was a deep understanding.

It's not surprising to know that he mortgaged 30,000 yuan. The Qin family or the Cao family may have acquaintances in the bank where he borrowed money. Everything is really chaotic now, and the professionalism of bank staff is also worrying. They actually leaked customer privacy! But they even knew that his travel agency delayed paying wages for ten days!
Cao Ze said: "Brother, you don't have to pretend to be rich in front of us. Starting a business is difficult, especially if you want to do big business. Let's be frank, I want to buy the shares under your name."

Fang Mingche said, "Then what price are you going to offer? Our initial capital is not much, but now the travel agency is on the right track and has taken on export and foreign exchange earning business. It can be said that it is already a golden hen that can lay golden eggs."

"I understand this. It will definitely go up. When you started your business, you bought 2000% of the shares with 40 yuan. That means 50 yuan per share, and the total capital is only 5000 yuan! I will now pay 35 yuan to buy your % shares. The total capital will be increased to yuan, and the price will be yuan per share. A -fold premium, you won't lose money, right?"

Fang Mingche shook his head. "Our initial share capital was more than 2000 yuan. We also borrowed 13000 yuan. In addition, the two commercial vehicles were valued at 90000 yuan. There are also intangible assets provided by the Wang family, such as being able to book rooms at the Beijing Hotel and the Friendship Hotel. That's yuan in share capital. A -fold premium means million yuan."

At this price, 1.67 yuan can only buy % of the shares.

If Qin Mu and Cao Ze can accept this amount, Fang Mingche is willing to sell shares to them. After all, it is better not to offend such children of big courtyards. Moreover, maybe some things that Wang family is not convenient to deal with can be handled by Qin family and Cao family.

After all, the Wang family must have political enemies. What if someone targets the travel agency because of the Wang family? It’s better not to put all your eggs in one basket.

Even so, Fang Mingche must have thought that he had suffered a loss. After all, the travel agency is now expected to make a profit of 10 yuan a year. Then Cao Ze's dividend next year can reach more than yuan. % annual return rate!
There were actually some British people who wanted to buy Chinese intangible cultural heritage products through Qiu Yin. However, the travel agency couldn't make the down payment, so they could only postpone it.

Moreover, this is the number before this year's National Day, and it will expand greatly afterwards.

After selling the shares, Fang Mingche was not prepared to use the 35,000 yuan to purchase more shares. With more and more shareholders, the finances had to be separated.

He personally received 35,000 yuan, plus the money from the scrap yard, it was more than 40,000 yuan, which was enough to buy a formal courtyard house with two entrances near Tiananmen Square.

Well, considering the increase in Siheyuan's share price, he could give up 1.67% of the shares. It can be said that this price is the bottom line that Fang Mingche can accept. But in fact, as long as the final payment from Tokyo arrives, there will be no problem.

After all, the travel agency was operating normally, and it could make a profit of 15,000 yuan a month. This time, it was mainly because they had just bought a business car not long ago, and they paid more than 10,000 yuan to buy intangible cultural heritage products and pay for shipping. The 30,000 yuan mortgage loan in June was also taken abroad by Wu Mingju and Qiu Yin.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be so tight.

When Cao Ze heard Fang Mingche's count, he slapped the tea table. The teacups on the table jumped up and then fell back to where they were.

"1.67%, are you treating beggars like that? The Wang family got 40% of the shares for 40 yuan. Now you are asking for too much, and % has suddenly increased to more than yuan."

Fang Mingche was not frightened by his slamming of the table. He said calmly: "I didn't ask anyone for a high price. I never said I wanted to sell my shares. At this price, I don't want to sell them! Since we can't reach an agreement, let's not talk about it."

He stood up and prepared to turn around and leave.

Cao Ze said: "Sit down. Did I let you go?"

Fang Mingche asked, "Why, you want to detain me? Do you know that restricting someone's personal freedom is against the law?"

Qin Mu tried to smooth things over, "It's not a seizure, it's not a seizure. You can ask for a high price, and we can pay you back. If we have any disagreements on the price, we can talk about it slowly."

Fang Mingche would not sit down again. He picked up his handbag and said, "I didn't ask for an exorbitant price, and I'm not willing to sell it at this price. The 2000 before the business and the 2000 now are naturally not the same thing. We took the trouble to plant the tree and keep it alive, and we can break up every year. If you want to just reach out and take one-third of the peaches, it's definitely not the original price. And I just reported the data of our business, and then gave it a -fold premium as you said, Mr. Cao. The differences between the two sides are too big, there is no need to talk anymore."

Cao Ze directly took out a gun and slammed it on the table, "You try to kill me!"

He has shown this thing, and no one has ever been afraid of it.

Fang Mingche said: "Pull out the gun. Is this gun used to threaten the people?"

Qin Mu said, "Brother, put it away. Harmony brings wealth!" Take it out, it's enough to know that you have this thing. There's no need to keep it on the table.

Fang Mingche put down his handbag, grabbed the gun at lightning speed, removed the magazine, and quickly disassembled the gun and placed it on the table.

"Goodbye!" Fang Mingche picked up his bag and walked out.

Cao Ze and Qin Mu were unable to react for a moment. Fang Mingche's hand was so fast that it became an afterimage.

After a while, Cao Ze asked, "Where is this guy from?" This hand speed, the king of soldiers! He didn't have this hand speed anyway.

In fact, Fang Mingche was able to have such a fast hand because his grandson saw this scene in a Hong Kong or Taiwan video in his previous life, and then bought a toy gun and disassembled it. He also forced him to practice with him, and the two of them competed in speed.

Ask him to think about which movie he watched. Oh, yes, New Police Story starring Jackie Chan, Nicholas Tse and Daniel Wu.

In the film, Jackie Chan lost to A-Zu for the first time, lost the bet and failed to save the people. A-Zu shot and killed many people. Then Jackie Chan kept practicing hard, and at the end of the story, he won the game. A-Zu finally committed suicide because of this.

The grandson was only a few years old at the time, and he thought the action of disassembling the gun was so cool. The toy gun that the brat dragged him to buy was exactly the same model as the one Cao Ze took out, a retro gun.

Fang Mingche was forced to practice his hand speed because his grandson asked him to cooperate with the progress and not to let up.

He used a Walkman to record the conversation today because he thought Cao Ze might say something that would threaten the safety of his family. But since he had already pulled out a gun, that was enough.

However, when he reached the stairwell, Cao Ze and Qin Mu reacted.

"Someone, stop him!"

The third floor was not used for business. Fang Mingche was stopped by eight waiters and had no choice but to return to Qin Mu's office.

He sat down leisurely, "Two words, no sale! Just point the gun at my head, I don't believe you dare to shoot. You are the son of a high-ranking official, I am just a grassroots. Let's exchange one life for another, I won't lose! But if you really shoot, it may be more than just your life. Do you still want the future of your family?"

You want to buy out 35% of his shares for yuan! According to the current profit scale, you can get yuan next year. Dream on!
Cao Ze looked at the scattered gun parts and bullets on the table and said, "Okay, you are a brave man and you are not afraid of death! But don't you worry about your wife and children getting into trouble?"

Fang Mingche said, "It's been 30 years since the founding of New China, and the public security organs are now being restored. What do you want to do with a gun? Can you still be lawless? Yes, public security is very bad now. But the country is fully prepared and will definitely make great efforts to rectify it. By then, I'm afraid they will kill the chicken to scare the monkey. Oh no, it should be killing the monkey to scare the chicken. Maybe they will use people like you as a warning, so that the people can also see the country's determination to fight crime."

Damn it, Zhu Guohua was shot in the crackdown in September 1983. Who the hell are you?
Qin Mu's expression changed. "Cousin, please speak properly. Fang Mingche, we are just discussing business, please don't make a big deal out of it."

"Cao Ze has even taken out his gun. Am I exaggerating? Okay, let's sit here for a while. If I don't leave within half an hour, Wang Dexian will come in. If he can't get me out, then Wang Dezhi will come. If Wang Dezhi still can't do it, then Grandpa Wang will have to come and get me out!"

Qin Mu looked at Fang Mingche twice, then walked to the window and looked down. Not far below, there was indeed a military jeep parked.

He picked up the telescope and looked at it. It was indeed the license plate number of the old man of the Wang family. There was someone sitting in the car, so it was not very clear. But it should be Wang Dexian.

Mr. Wang asked him to drive the car over, and his attitude was very clear.

Qin Mu walked back and said, "Fang Mingche, why bother? We can all make money. Besides, what the Wang family can provide, can't our Qin family and Cao family provide it?"

"You also said that you can provide it, so why should I share the money with you? Because you are fierce? I don't need the 35,000! After the handicrafts are sold in Tokyo, I can sell them to London immediately. From London, I can also radiate to the whole of Europe. It's just a matter of finishing touches. How is the price you offer different from robbery?"

Wang Dexian was sitting in the driver's seat of a military jeep, looking at the time. It had been 18 minutes since Xiao Fang went in. If he didn't come out in another 12 minutes, he would rush in.

He came out today under the pretext of a business trip. After all, the investment promotion office also earns 18000 yuan a year from the travel agency.

After 20 minutes, Fang Mingche came out with a handbag. He got into his car and honked when he passed Wang Dexian's military jeep.

Wang Dexian turned the car around and followed him to the office.

After the two men went in and sat down, Fang Mingche played the tape for Wang Dexian on his Walkman.

Wang Dexian heard this and said, "Damn it! He actually pulled out a gun!"

Thirty-five thousand for 35% of the shares. It sounds fair, after all, according to Cao Ze, it is a twenty-fold premium over the original price. But the travel agency made a net profit of twenty thousand in July! If we include London, it will exceed twenty-five thousand in the month before National Day. Not to mention that they will open branches all over the country in the future, and will also open overseas offices in the world's metropolises.

Humph, although the Qin family and the Cao family are not trying to encroach on the interests of the Wang family, but why should they be allowed to share a piece of the Wang family's big business?

Yes, Xiao Fang took the lion's share, but Xiao Fang's endless ideas were worth the price! Without him making the cake bigger, the Wang family wouldn't get so much even if they monopolized it. This is what the old man said when someone in the family disagreed with the distribution ratio.

Fang Mingche said: "He probably scares people like this often, so it's possible that he really fired a gun."

Wang Dexian said: "It's not easy to send him in directly."

He picked up the phone, thought for a moment, pressed the volume button, called Wang Dezhi's office, and told him what had happened. He did not mention the tape for the time being.

It was also the first time that Wang Dexian had seen such a small recorder. No wonder Cao Ze and the others asked Xiao Fang to carry it in boldly and record the whole process.

"Third brother, this is the situation."

Wang Dezhi said, "It's just a formality. Xiao Fang has clearly refused, so it's easier for me to handle it. Okay, tell Xiao Fang that no one will bother him anymore. Let him prepare to go to Tokyo with peace of mind. In addition, I will arrange for someone to secretly protect his family."

It is reasonable to let the retired soldiers protect the women and children of the Fang family. This is not misusing public resources for personal gain. Later, let Xiao Fang pay for his wages and reimburse his food and lodging.

This guy surnamed Cao not only dared to pull out a gun, he also dared to threaten the safety of someone's wife and children. He is simply a scum!

"What operation?" Wang Dexian asked specifically.

Wang Dezhi said, "We have to knock off one of their claws. Otherwise, how can anyone lay hands on the Wang family?"

After the call was hung up, Wang Dexian pointed to his Walkman and said, "Prepare this tape."

"I'll make a few extra copies and keep them as backup."

At that time, Tokyo would keep a copy, and London would also send a copy with the goods for Qiu Yin to keep. He would just keep another copy in his own hands. Or he could let Wang Dexian give a copy to Cao Ze to deter him from doing anything to the women and children of the other family.

"How do you know this thing exists?"

"It was invented by Sony in Japan last year. I heard Wu Mingju talk about it. I also went to the Friendship Store and the Overseas Chinese Store to check and confirmed that it didn't exist."

Wang Dexian said: "Indeed, no, I have never seen it. Oh no, I have never heard of it."

In the next few days, Fang Mingche continued to take his nephew and niece to play everywhere. It was more convenient to have a car. They went to the Great Wall and the former residence of the young marshal in Tianjin.

With retired soldiers taking turns to protect them nearby, he felt more at ease leaving Lin Yan and Fang Chang at home.

On the Army Day, Wang Dexian gave Fang Mingche a ticket to take the children to the military area to watch a performance. Fang Mingche asked and found out that Qin Hua was going, so he took Yanyan with him.

There was no way, he was afraid Yanyan couldn't sit still. This was different from going out to play.

Wang Dexian said unhappily, "Is my sister here to look after your children?"

"No, but with her by her side, Yanyan can sit still. If she can't sit still, she can take her out to play."

Mr. Wang wanted to go on stage to join the chorus, and the logistics department issued six tickets.

Wang Dezhi and his wife brought a child who didn't want a ticket. Then Yang Mei worked overtime and gave the ticket to Qin Hua, and Wang Defang also went. The remaining ticket was given to Fang Mingche.

Oh, this ticket should not be the leftover one, after all, Mr. Wang has so many children and grandchildren.

There was only one ticket, so Fang Jian and Fang Fang stayed at home watching TV. Yan Yan would go to Tokyo later, but they couldn't go without the paperwork, so they stayed at home with their mother. They had to wait for their second grandmother and Aunt Minghui to come back together.

Since I've already taken the sleeper once, I don't need anyone to take me there again. Xiao Song can just pick me up at the city train station.

Anyway, she doesn't have to cook for herself, and there is a washing machine for washing clothes. Lin Yan also welcomes nephews and nieces. There can also be two people to help her change hands and coax the children.

After dinner on August 1, Fang Mingche drove Yanyan and Qin Hua over. The two girls were chatting animatedly in the second row.

"Sister Qin Hua, what are you going to perform for Army Day?"

"My mother said that they sang military songs and maybe the ballet version of The Red Detachment of Women."

After entering and finding their seats, the place was full of people in military uniforms. Fang Mingche, Yanyan, and Qin Hua all greeted Wang Dezhi and the others.

Qin Hua asked Wang Dexian in a low voice, "Brother, do you think I can be a cultural soldier in the future?"

She inherited her mother's love of singing and dancing.

Wang Dexian said: "You should study hard and go to college."

The female soldiers in the art troupe basically married the sons of the big courtyards. But he still thought that now that he had the opportunity to go to college, he should take the college entrance examination first. If he failed, he could think of other things later.

It is convenient for the art soldier to meet the children of the compound. But with him around, are you still worried that his sister's choice of spouse will be poor?
Yanyan didn't have her own seat, so she sat between Fang Mingche and Qin Hua, just like watching a movie, facing the gap in the stands.

Wang Dexian was sitting next to Qin Hua. He turned his head and said to him clearly, "The director of the lending department of XX Bank is under investigation for some illegal operations."

This person was the one who leaked the information to Cao Ze and had helped him to illegally borrow money before. It was said that he was a younger brother of the Cao family.

Some things weigh only a few ounces when not on the scale, but weigh more than a thousand pounds when on the scale. Wang Dezhi got rid of Cao Ze, his lackey, so it would not be so easy for him to make illegal loans in the future. Of course, the reports and revelations may not be about these things about Cao Ze.

Fang Mingche smiled. Brother Wang San was so quick! Okay, this way he could cooperate with the Wang family with more peace of mind.

"But my third brother said that we should not show the tape to Cao Ze for now. This will prevent him from focusing on your family."

"Okay, I'll listen to him."

The curtain opened and the show began. The first show was a chorus of "Four Crossings of the Chishui River to Send Out Surprise Troops" in which Mr. Wang and other veterans participated. They sang passionately and sincerely, without any skills, just singing hard!

This song is definitely familiar to every Chinese these days. At the climax, Fang Mingche couldn't help but hum along: Soldiers travel the world on foot, crossing the Chishui River four times to launch surprise attacks. The Wujiang River is a dangerous place, and the troops are coming to Guiyang more than Kunming.
After listening to the chorus, Wang Dexian laughed at the side, "My grandfather and other old men put on blush tonight. The leader said that otherwise they would look pale under the lights and would not give face to the PLA. He also said that this was an order, forcing them to put on blush one by one!"

Fang Mingche also laughed, "Military orders are as heavy as a mountain!"
