My Lord, you need to stand up!

Chapter 379 It's still most exciting to be doing business.
Wei Dong had never been in a relationship.

In the previous forty years of his life, there were only two women who were related to him: Li Erfeng and Shi Linyan.

It's still a distant connection that has absolutely nothing to do with each other.

There was absolutely no interaction with women.

Now there's no more sentimental love or romance; it's all just empty talk.

My main focus is on making money.

This time, I finally realized it was a bit serious: "We're in such a good situation now, everything is on track, wouldn't it be better if we just stayed put with me handling external affairs and you handling internal affairs? Why do we have to create these problems?"

He won't dodge the question with vague answers.

Before, I was busy chiseling away, and I thought I had smoothed everything out.

Let's just pull over and talk things out properly.

Women think in a completely different way: "From the moment I met you, I knew that my family's fate would change. You are insightful and hardworking. I am willing to be your slave for the rest of my life."

If you were to use a smooth-talking man, he might be able to charm a woman with sweet words and promises like "You're still the most hardworking person I've ever been in my life," and so on, which could resolve some of the problems.

This has instilled in Wei Dong a habit of using his brain and thinking logically when encountering and solving problems.

Thinking it over carefully, I realized: "I've been able to get to where I am today in two years because of your support. It's only because we've worked together that we've achieved this. There's no such thing as being a slave to someone; I've always respected you as my wife and lover."

Perhaps it was this respect that made the pressure so immense that Dong Xueying burst into tears: "No! You don't know how hard it was before. I was in despair. If it weren't for Xiao Qing and Xiao Die giving me something to look forward to, I wouldn't want to live anymore."

Wei Dong was still heartbroken and hurriedly pulled at his sleeve to wipe away his tears.

She would then pick up the startled child and say, "Why are you still crying? Things are going well now, so don't dwell on the past."

He could do it; if he were to wallow in the grief and anger of losing his hand, he probably wouldn't last forty years.

Dong Xueying cried as if she were made of water: "I can't help but think about it. The better things are for me now, the more I want to give you the best of everything. I don't deserve it, I..."

She sobbed uncontrollably, making Wei Dong feel that his shirt and T-shirt were soaked through.

His mental state is very worrying.

To be honest, there were too many people with mental health problems in the 1970s and 80s, and the proportion of people with what is now called sub-health was even higher.

However, just as animal experts are unaware that animals can suffer from depression and exhibit stereotyped behaviors.

The vast majority of Chinese people also lack this concept of mental health.

In the 1980s, there wasn't even a concept of mental illness. Abnormal behavior was simply called "crazy." Mental hospitals were occasionally mentioned, referring to people who had completely broken down and were considered "violent lunatics."

In fact, most people are calmly depressed.

In a society undergoing violent upheaval and adjustment, who notices the heavy burdens on these individuals' hearts?

It is like dust, arising and perishing on its own.

If Wei Dong hadn't been hiding in the guardhouse where he could have been relatively calm and peaceful, it's hard to say whether he would have been able to endure the painful time.

He can still understand it now, just as he can understand why Zhang Lanzhi was obsessed with going abroad.

Gently pat his wife's back.

But as I thought about how much pressure Old You and Old Geng must be under, my heart skipped a beat when I touched the bra clasp under my summer clothes!
His mental state isn't normal either.

A cold, aged soul and a vigorous, energetic body are constantly at war.

She completely lacked the infatuation and passion that one would expect at her age.

He quickly blamed himself for thinking only about this matter, just like he used to think about Zhang Lanzhi...

Thinking of this by chance, I finally had a flash of inspiration: "Why don't you go on a business trip? Don't keep it all bottled up inside. Go to Hong Kong and see for yourself. Now that we have business dealings with Citibank and Japan, we can apply for business trips anytime. Go see the world. The outside world is vast. Don't always think about living only for the family."

Dong Xueying, stubborn as a mum, shook her head, sobbing, "Xiao Qing, let Xiao Qing go..."

Anyway, all the good things should be given to my younger sister.

Wei Dong immediately thought the idea was good: "Great! She also knows foreign languages, so she can go abroad to study computers and become an expert."

During dinner that evening, when her older sister and brother-in-law asked her if she was interested in studying abroad, Fengchu was completely dumbfounded: "You...you don't want me anymore..."

Her voice was still hoarse, and she could only squeeze out words, but tears didn't need to be squeezed out at all; they instantly covered her thin cheeks.

The older sister immediately felt sorry and regretted it, and quickly reached out to hug her and apologize: "No, no, I just wanted you to live a good life. Everyone wants to go abroad now. If the family can afford it, we will send you to enjoy a life of luxury. If you don't want to go, then you don't have to go."

Dong Xueqing cried loudly, only turning her head to look at her brother-in-law.

If Wei Dong didn't express his opinion, she would cry even louder to her sister!
Like a spoiled child,

Dong Xueying urged the man quickly, "Hurry up, tell him we're not going, we're not letting Xiao Qing go abroad."

Others are going abroad one after another, abandoning their families, and the whole society envies the lucky ones who can go abroad. Why can't our family see this?

This made Wei Dong finally understand that the men in the tax compound, after getting married, would at most stay at home for two or three years in comfort before becoming keen on playing cards and fishing outside every day.

This family has so many businesses running, and this person is always dragging them down and being so annoying!
After two nights of intense work, he took the mechanical and electrical engineering and biological technology experts from Jiang University and returned to Shangzhou. Honestly, if his family life were so blissful that it was almost intoxicating, making Wei Dong question whether his originally unambitious personality would have the same drive to pursue a career.

Now I feel that dealing with people is just a trivial matter, but the sense of accomplishment from building a career is much more exciting.

Both the jeans factory and the Hong Kong-owned clothing factory were rapidly expanding their scale. Therefore, Shen Cuiyue, who managed nearly 10,000 employees in two sanitary napkin factories, was the manager who was best able to decide which factory to equip with better manpower. She spent her days with Qin Yuye, who was busy with foreign trade, increasing styles, and distributing goods nationwide.

There was indeed no time or space to accompany the old man, but I asked my two younger brothers and the Gaoyuan sisters to take care of him.

Anyway, these guys are just like the two Tibetan mastiffs that Mao'er leads; they have no intention of going to school or studying.

Just focus on following your older brother.

Even while still on the passenger ship, he attracted a lot of attention from passengers and crew.

The two mastiffs, brought down from the plateau, already exuded a majestic and imposing aura, looking quite extraordinary.

Zhuoma said that in their area, this was a precious child from a pure and prestigious family, and she and her sister had personally helped deliver the baby.

Under Mao'er's careful care and nurturing, the shiny, smooth-skinned cat followed along obediently.

He's not as vicious as the rumors say.

While Wei Dong was chatting and having a meeting with the experts, he couldn't help but stroke the head of the dog next to him, wondering why the zoo's experts hadn't kept the two fierce dogs for research.
Mao replied calmly and proudly, "They wish they could. I've already been giving them face by not bringing Yun'er along."

That clouded leopard—hanging itself from a tree during the May Day holiday has become a regular feature.

Especially impressive was the close interaction between Mao'er and the clouded leopard in the cage, which drew admiring comments from many parents and tourists. "Look at other people's kids..."

So, watching the unassuming Mao'er, who seemed to love running towards the various animal enclosures even more than Dong Xueqing did.

Moreover, they only choose to interact with and approach various ferocious beasts!
Given that this guy had a history of burglary and had absolutely no sense of right and wrong, Wei Dong felt it would be better to let him interact more with wild animals.

It's better for him to be in a cage than to wander through a crowded park, struggling with the thought of having a lot of money.

No one at the zoo dared to supervise him too much; he just had to follow all the safety and operational procedures.

Now I'm starting to have some doubts; could this make me a local tyrant at the zoo?

Five or six experts and professors, knowing that he was the entrepreneur who had contracted the zoo, were more relaxed and even discussed the possibility of obtaining tiger blood and bear blood for research.

In China, biotechnology, at least in Jiangzhou, has not yet developed to the point of being an interdisciplinary field of biopharmaceuticals. It is more about science and engineering, such as the optimization of extraction processes and the development of separation and purification technologies.

Fortunately, the young associate professors in the field of mechanical and electrical engineering are rising stars who have already been to Japan and returned on business jets, so they are naturally even more sought after.

The main discussion revolved around participating in the establishment of a research center at Xishan Building, which would definitely be the first private comprehensive research institute in China.

What Wei Dong fears most is this constant talk of being the first in the country. Why do they have to make it so unprecedented? We can just quietly conduct research and development.

We repeatedly advised: "We certainly support academic research in all directions and can send students abroad for exchange and further study in the name of the company. However, you cannot be ostentatious. Once commercial competition becomes a case of 'the nail that sticks out gets hammered down,' it is not in line with the situation of private entrepreneurs. So you can do whatever you want in academia, but please don't talk about marketization. Once you become famous in the business world, we will not participate."

His explanation, a mix of coaxing and deception, was understood by the experts and professors.

The only eyesore were the two young ladies, who were always bowing and hunching over, serving tea and water to Rang Weidong and the experts.

That's fine, as long as the younger siblings are sensible and take care of their older brother.

Wearing jeans and sports T-shirts, the two of them returned to the corner of the third-class cabin and sat down quietly after finishing their work, maintaining a dignified demeanor.

In addition to the two brothers sitting on either side of the eight-person cabin, there were also two large mastiffs lying down.

This makes Wei Dong look like a tyrannical lord!

The experts and professors increasingly felt that he was exceptionally capable.

Then this feeling intensified after arriving in Shangzhou.

These riverboats were all made by barge sailors who pushed wheeled ramps onto the railings. There were also all sorts of people running the docks, busy jumping aboard to move cargo, and even taking advantage of the chaos to steal bags.

They can recognize it as long as they see hair or stones.

What immediately commanded Wei Dong's respect was the appearance of the person who followed: "Master Dong is back..."

Wei Dong could only think, "Damn it!"
He really didn't like that kind of thing, but he also knew how much easier it would be to suppress that kind of momentum.

Xiaoxiao could exchange a few pleasantries with people she recognized and still get a general idea of ​​Shangzhou's current situation, the progress of the project, the reputation of the industrial park, and what kind of people those guys were now.

Even the young ladies became quite arrogant after seeing their master's grandeur, maintaining the demeanor of a wealthy family as they disembarked. Although Ram was a little dizzy from her first time on a large ship, she managed to keep up appearances and held onto Shitou's hand very tightly.

The diving board is dozens of meters long; even people who have never seen a major river would get dizzy just looking at it.

But as always, when the ship arrived, passengers disembarked first and then boarded at the dock. When more people saw Rang Weidong, even the passengers waiting to board greeted him warmly as "Master Rang."

Previously, he made a living by trading sand and gravel at the docks, helping women and children. His reputation was limited to that area. But with the establishment of food factories, sanitary napkin factories, free markets, and the construction of houses and dormitories, he brought about changes for thousands of households.

It really has the feel of a benevolent Buddha to every household.

Wei Dongcai suddenly realized that the kind of Gao Qiqiang who could control everything in a small city, as depicted in TV dramas, was probably formed in this way.
