Chapter 266 The Gathering!
Even Zhou Zhennan, a man of great experience and worldly wisdom, couldn't help but feel a twitch at the corner of his mouth. Seeing the person opposite him sitting calmly and composedly, he felt an urge to slap him.
Listen to that, it's only a few million, not bad!
Is this human language?
With the average monthly salary in China around 20 to 30 yuan, tens of millions? Even in my wildest dreams, I wouldn't dare to dream of such a thing!
After the initial shock, someone asked, "You weren't doing anything illegal or criminal over there, were you?"
“Uncle Zhou, how could I dare, and I don’t need to? Hong Kong is a global city with huge domestic and international market demand. Backed by the mainland, there are plenty of legal ways to make money. I have no reason to take risks and do illegal things. If I really wanted to break the law, these companies with Beijing in their names wouldn’t do business with me.”
Zhong Yuemin said:
"Uncle Zhou, by acquiring the goods from these trading companies, I was actually helping the country indirectly and earning foreign exchange. I'm not bragging at all; I guess I'm a meritorious contributor, right?"
Zhou Zhennan scoffed, feeling he was losing control of the kid.
"Nothing can happen, right?"
"No, the company accounts are still there. It's an offshore company, so we can't trace its origin."
Zhong Yuemin said:
“Uncle Zhou, if our country’s economy is to develop and its national strength is to take off, the market will definitely open up step by step in the future, and the policies will become clearer and clearer. I’m just planning ahead so that I can earn some money for your retirement when you and Dad retire.”
"I want you to support me!"
Zhou Zhennan laughed and scolded, "Are his two sons good-for-nothings?" But he was quite pleased that Xiaobai had good taste.
They talked in the study for over an hour. When they came out, Xiaobai, who had been waiting outside, greeted them and naturally took Yuemin's arm with both hands.
"Dad, what were you talking about? Why did it take so long!"
Seeing the worried look on his daughter's face, Zhou Zhennan shook his head helplessly. "Girls grow up and leave home," he thought, and walked away without responding.
As soon as the person left, Zhou Xiaobai asked, "My dad didn't do anything to you, did he?"
"No, we had a friendly conversation in a warm atmosphere."
He didn't go home that night either. His mother-in-law insisted he stay, and their feigned hesitation was immediately seen through by her.
"Alright, it's already this late, and you two are still too shy to get together? Go to sleep, Yuemin, you must be tired after such a long train ride, get some rest."
At night, in my wife's room, lying on the soft, large bed, embracing her fragrant, warm, and cuddly body, my hands caressing her soft flesh—it couldn't be more comfortable.
Zhou Xiaobai couldn't resist, her face flushed, and she grabbed the thieving hand, scolding him playfully.
"Stop playing! Aren't you going to sleep or not?!"
The two of them have had sex countless times, but at home, with their parents next door around, doing that kind of thing always feels awkward. You're teasing her so much, all hot and sticky, how is she supposed to fall asleep!
Zhong Yuemin then stopped and closed his eyes to rest!
"Hey, you're going to sleep already?" the girl said, sounding a little annoyed.
"You didn't make me sleep here."
"Hmph, I'll only be home for a little over ten days, and then we'll be apart for more than a year. I should cherish this time."
Zhou Xiaobai said:
"Sometimes I think you're right. It's better to retire early so we don't have to be separated like this."
"You'll have to ask your dad and my dad. I had no choice in the matter. Who would want to hug a pillow when they have a lovely wife to hug?"
"You're not just a pillow, you also have a bunch of confidantes, like Qin Ling, Sister Yan, that foreign woman from Hong Kong named Larissa, and Liu Jing..."
"If you say that again, I'm not going to be polite!"
They climbed up again.
Zhou Xiaobai pouted, "You naughty guy, by the way, I have something to tell you."
"what?"
Luo Yun is getting married!
"With whom? The son of the political commissar at your military medical university?"
"No, the two broke up before!"
Zhou Xiaobai said:
"The timeline is that Luo Yun was transferred back to the Beijing headquarters, and then she broke up with her boyfriend. A month after the breakup, she started dating the son of the hospital's vice president. It's only been a little over a year, and the two of them are getting married. They even sent me an invitation."
Zhong Yuemin's laughter,
"Your best friend is a master of time management, amazing! She times every step so precisely, and she changes partners so frequently. Yuan Jun, Li Yuanchao, that guy from your previous unit, Zhang Jing, and this guy from the military medical university, wow, they're all victims. It's like a relay race, and now it's finally the last leg... No, that's not right. With Luo Yun's personality, maybe there will never be an end. As long as it's in her favor, she'll pass the baton to the next 'warrior' without hesitation."
"Don't put it so harshly!"
"Is this bad? I've been tactful enough!"
"So, do you want to participate? It'll be during the Spring Festival!"
"Go ahead, why not go!"
Zhong Yuemin said:
“You two have been friends since childhood, so you’re still friends no matter what. It’s just that everyone has their own ambitions. You, Dr. Zhou, chose to lie down and do nothing, while Luo Yun wanted to climb up. You each have your own philosophy of life, so there’s nothing wrong with that.”
"I didn't lie down. Don't forget, in terms of rank, you, Squad Leader Zhong, still have to call me 'Commander,' humph!"
"Yes, yes, but I'm just a common soldier, yet I still put up a lot of pressure on you, Chief Zhou, every day."
Zhou Xiaobai pinched him, "Are you trying to die?!"
This scoundrel will spill any shameful thing.
"Then you'll come with me."
"it is good!"

This Spring Festival, Yuan Jun also came back, along with Zheng Tong, Jiang Biyun, Li Kuiyong, Luo Jianguo, and others who had been sent to the countryside in northern Shaanxi. It was rare to have so many people together. At the usual place, Lao Mo Restaurant, a large round table in a private room was packed with people. They hadn't seen each other for several years and had endless topics to talk about.
Zheng Tong said:
“Yuemin, this won’t do. Yuan Jun is at least a platoon leader, while you’re still a squad leader. Your rank is even lower than when you were the commune director back in northern Shaanxi. Why don’t you apply to the organization to be discharged and go back to northern Shaanxi, work from sunrise to sunset with us brothers, and roll around on the kang (heated brick bed) together at night, hugging each other and being all lovey-dovey?”
"Hahaha……"
Everyone laughed.
"Zheng Tong, you're still the same old Zheng Tong, it's easier to change mountains and rivers than to change your nature!"
Yuan Jun said:
"I thought you'd turned over a new leaf. Yuemin has Xiaobai to hug, why would he hug you burly men with your unkempt feet? I just heard Jianguo and the others say that you're studying every day and night, are you obsessed with it? Do you really want to go to university?"
Zheng Tong said:
"The college entrance exam has been suspended, and nobody knows when it will resume. I don't read books for that. I mainly read books to enrich my mind, broaden my horizons, cultivate my character, or to find a temporary refuge for my loneliness, hopelessness, and confusion, and forget all of this."
"Oh, I'm going!"
Yuan Jun's expression was exaggerated. "Zheng Tong, based on what you just said, I believe you're definitely studying hard. I don't understand it myself, but I can tell that it was really tough for you guys to be sent to the countryside in northern Shaanxi. But don't be discouraged, keep looking forward!"
