Life 1984

Chapter 253 Turning the gears of her destiny
Li Yunhai said of course, how do you want to cooperate with me?Do you want to join my company or have other ideas?
Ever since Gong Jie heard the phone call between Li Yunhai and Lin Zhi, the storm in her heart had never stopped.

Li Yunhai actually makes so much money!
And she had some knowledge about the income in the United States. The monthly salary of ordinary workers is only about 1000 US dollars.A gallon of gas costs about $1.20, a pound of beef costs about $2.88, the average price of a new car is about $15, and the price of a house is over $[-].

Calculated based on the exchange rate ratio, it is equivalent to having a monthly salary of 3000 yuan in China, and the house price is 45 yuan.

This level is equivalent to that in China around 2010.

As you can imagine, it is extremely difficult to buy a house in the United States with this salary.

"Mr. Li," Gong Jie said, crossing her hands and leaning forward slightly to show respect for Li Yunhai, "Can I represent your products in the United States?"

Li Yunhai thought for a while and said: "Of course, but the main market for our products is in China. We already have partners with the United States. If you continue to act as an agent, you will have to compete with the locals. I think your advantage is It’s not that big.”

He seemed to agree, but in fact it was a polite rejection, reminding her that this was not a good idea.

Li Yunhai is indeed not optimistic about Gong Jie being an agent in the United States.

Agents generally have to find local people because the customs and habits of each country and region are different.

Gong Jie understood and was a little disappointed.

Li Yunhai smiled and said: "Gong Jie, I am now about to expand the domestic market. If you don't particularly like the United States and have to stay here, then I suggest you go back to China for development! Whether it is in Shanghai or Beijing, I can give you agency rights. You can also help me work and manage the Shanghai branch or Beijing Jin branch. Of course, if you want, you can also continue your acting career part-time. I really hope that I can still work in Seeing your beautiful figure and excellent performance on the screen."

Gong Jie asked boldly: "If I go back to China to work for you, how much salary can you give me?"

"The salary of the branch manager is about the same as that of the manager of our headquarters, both are about [-] yuan."

"Ten thousand a year? It's not too low."

"No, this is a monthly salary."

"what?"

Gong Jie lightly covered her mouth. She couldn't believe that the annual salary in China had reached 12 yuan, equivalent to 4 US dollars. With such an income in China, it would be easy to buy a house or a car, and she could still live a comfortable life. affluent life.

Li Yunhai said: "You can also come to work at my headquarters. I will arrange a house and a car for you, and the annual salary is about 12."

Gong Jie recovered from the shock and said, "But I don't have much ability."

Li Yunhai said: "Your reputation in the country is your ability."

Gong Jie laughed at herself in shame: "My reputation? If they messed with me like this, my reputation would have been ruined! Otherwise, I wouldn't have gone abroad."

Li Yunhai said: "The case will eventually come to light one day. The media is forgetful, and the masses are even more forgetful. What may seem like a big deal that will bring down the sky to you is actually just an inconspicuous piece of old news in the eyes of the world. If you return to China for development, If so, you can help me with work, or you can act if you want, I will introduce you to jobs, and the income will not be low, it will not be worse than your income in the United States."

Gong Jie was moved.

Her father's family are all in China, and she is the third eldest child in the family. She has an older brother and sister, and a younger sister.

Gong Jie's sister is Gong Ying, who is also an actress.

They are the most beautiful sisters on the Chinese screen in the 80s.

Gong Jie went abroad in anger this time, and she was also tangled in her heart.

In addition, she met a boy abroad. The boy liked her very much, but he was a few years younger than her and was still studying for a master's and doctoral degree in the United States.

If nothing unexpected happened, she and this boy might be able to get together.

Because a woman is in a foreign and unfamiliar environment, has no better livelihood skills, and is in a relationship gap, it is easy for her to get married with a man who cares about her.

Li Yunhai really admired Gong Jie's talent, as well as her beauty and temperament, and really wanted to help her.

Nowadays, Gong Jie is famous and is in the limelight. As long as she puts her worries aside and returns to China to continue her film and television career, her future achievements will definitely be higher, just like other female stars of the same period.

During this period, celebrities such as Liu Xiaoqing were far less famous than Gong Jie.

Li Yunhai really felt that it would be a pity if Gong Jie just fell into depression.

However, the gears of destiny in life are ultimately in your own hands.

Li Yunhai had no right to interfere with Gong Jie's final decision. He only provided her with another possible path to choose.

The two talked about everything and became more and more speculative.

Gong Jie discovered that Li Yunhai is simply a treasure man, knowing everything and knowing everything. He not only has a young and handsome appearance, but also has a unique and unique business acumen. He has become a billionaire at a young age!

Whether they are 17-year-old girls or 30-year-old women, they will all be attracted to men like Li Yunhai.

Even a billionaire lady like Guo Wanhua fell under the spell of Li Yunhai and couldn't extricate herself.

What about a beauty like Gong Jie?

Gong Jie, who has experienced the vicissitudes of life, understands the power and preciousness of Li Yunhai even more.

Such a top-notch man is something you can only meet but cannot find.

The two had close contact on the plane to New York, which narrowed the spiritual distance between them.

Gong Jie is an actor with a very delicate heart and rich emotions.She also has higher demands on her partner.

Ever since she met Li Yunhai, she was filled with immense joy for this man.

Whether it is Li Yunhai's appearance or personality, whether it is emotional intelligence, IQ or financial intelligence, they all share Gong Jie's aesthetic point of view.

Her ideal man is like Li Yunhai, who is taller than herself, can give her a sense of security, has his own career, is open and aboveboard, has a decisive personality, has rich and deep thoughts, is gentle and elegant, and has a good temper.

All these advantages are actually gathered in Li Yunhai!
But she could tell that Li Yunhai was younger than herself.

Although Li Yunhai has pretended to be a mature adult, he still looks like a young man.

Gong Jie has a crush on him, but their friendship is not good enough for a relationship.

The actor's character is of course cheerful and lively, and can even be said to be bold.

Gong Jie has had emotional experiences both on and off the screen, so she is not a little girl who is ignorant of the world.

She knew that Li Yunhai liked her, and she also secretly liked Li Yunhai in her heart.However, this is just a budding relationship.

"Mr. Li, have you ever played on the streets of New York?"

"No, after I signed the contract, I returned to New York without stopping, and then I met you in the gallery."

"Shall we go for a walk? New York after the snow, covered in snow, must have a beautiful atmosphere."

"Okay, with a beauty like you accompanying me, my trip to New York will become extremely romantic."

"Mr. Li, you are really good at talking. Are you particularly popular with girls?"

"Haha! I don't feel that way."

The two tidied up and went downstairs together.

Gong Jie is a relatively conservative traditional woman. She wears tight clothes and clean makeup. She wears a light blue turtleneck sweater, a red cotton coat, and a beanie hat. Her slightly curved hair makes her look delicate. Her face is white and beautiful.

Opposite the Plaza Hotel is New York's Central Park.

The park in winter is silvery and desolate, and Central Park after snow is like a fairy tale world.

It was late at night, and there were actually many people skating on the open space in the park.

From time to time you can see a few big snowmen.

The two walked along the trail.

The road was icy and slippery.

Gong Jie smiled and said, "This place is really suitable for skating. It's like a natural skating rink. Can you skate?"

Li Yunhai said that I can skate, but I have never tried it outdoors.

Gong Jie's feet slipped and she staggered.

Li Yunhai grabbed her waist, hugged her, and shouted: "Be careful!"

The two collided, and Gong Jie's lips touched Li Yunhai's face.

The two smiled at each other.

Gong Jie was afraid of falling, so she held Li Yunhai's arm and said, "I'll lend you to be my boyfriend for a day."

Li Yunhai smiled and said: "I have the obligation to be a boyfriend, do I also have the right to be my boyfriend for a day?"

Gong Jie smiled shyly, her face turning red: "What kind of rights do you want?"

Li Yunhai smiled and said, "You're kidding! It's quite interesting to play your boyfriend for a day."

The two walked in from one end of the park, walked through the park, came out from the other end, and then turned back the other way.

When passing a lawn, there was a sudden sound of flapping wings!
A large group of pigeons were alarmed by them and flew into the sky, blocking out the sun.

"Okay! So many pigeons!" Gong Jie pointed to the sky, as happy as a little girl, "Look! They are so beautiful!"

Li Yunhai pointed to the grass and surroundings: "Look at these, you won't think they are beautiful."

Gong Jie looked at the ground and saw patches of pigeon poop everywhere under the dim street lights!

"Uh-" She covered her mouth and said, "It's not romantic at all."

Li Yunhai smiled and said: "The so-called romance is nothing more than an appearance. A man carefully designs the courtship process, which looks romantic, but in his heart he just wants a girl. Behind the vast flower gardens are the countless hard work of the gardeners. And what’s being poured under the garden might be manure.”

"I have been an educated youth, and I know that it is really a waste of water! However, this is still a very good fertilizer, and you don't need to water it for ordinary crops! Farmers are reluctant to use it to burn flowers!"

The two of them carefully bypassed the pigeon area and returned by another route.

There was a homeless man lying on a lounge chair in the park. He was wearing a thick cotton coat and a quilt, only half of his face was exposed, and he was looking ahead with dull eyes.

"The United States is so developed, why are there so many homeless people everywhere?" Gong Jie said puzzledly, "I have seen many homeless people in other places in New York City, especially under the overpasses. They are all full of people."

Li Yunhai said: "The gap between the rich and the poor in developed areas is too big. There are always people who cannot afford three meals a day, and there are always people who are driven crazy by reality."

Just as Gong Jie was about to speak, the homeless man suddenly jumped up and ran toward them, shouting something unknown and looking extremely crazy.

"Oh my god! What is he going to do?" Gong Jie was startled and took Li Yunhai's hand to run away.

While they were talking, the tramp had already run up to them, showing an extremely vulgar expression, as if he was about to pounce on Gong Jie and bully Gong Jie.

Li Yunhai calmly pushed Gong Jie away, then picked up a stone from the ground, stared at him fiercely, raised the stone and pointed it at him, trying to scare him away.

The tramp was not stupid. Seeing this scene, he hesitated, but he was not afraid. He raised his hand and threw the tattered quilt draped behind his back, and then continued to rush forward.

Li Yunhai stepped aside to avoid the dirty quilt.

Seeing the homeless man pounce on Gong Jie, Li Yunhai raised his wrist, aimed at the homeless man's head, and hit him hard.

The homeless man was in pain and didn't care about bullying Gong Jie, so he punched Li Yunhai with his backhand.

Li Yunhai held a stone in his hand and smashed it on his wrist.

The homeless man screamed in pain and backed away in fear.

Li Yunhai turned around and pulled Gong Jie away.

It wasn't until she walked out of the park that Gong Jie finally recovered from her shock. She stroked her heart and said, "It's so scary! The security in this country is so bad! Don't the police even care about anything?"

Li Yunhai looked back and saw no one chasing him, so he threw away the stone in his hand and said: "New York has the highest crime rate in the United States. The population density is high, and the unemployment rate is also high. The poverty rate remains high, and educational resources are insufficient. Inducing all kinds of crimes.”

The two returned to the hotel. Gong Jie saw that there was a bar in the hotel and said with a smile: "Have a drink? To calm down?"

"Okay!" Li Yunhai took her to the bar.

The bar has two floors. You can drink on the bar on the first floor, or you can lie down and drink on the comfortable big sofa on the second floor.

Li Yunhai ordered wine and fruit snacks, and sat down by the window on the second floor.

After a while, the waiter brought wine and snacks.

Li Yunhai poured a glass of wine for each of them and asked, "Can you drink?"

"I can drink it. My parents both drink a little wine." Gong Jie said with a smile, "Sometimes, I really want to get drunk and forget all about the past, but I never get drunk."

"Don't think about those unpleasant things." Li Yunhai said, "Tell me about your time as an educated youth!"

"What about the educated youth meeting? Looking back now, it was actually quite fun. We were all young people, working together and eating together in the vast countryside. Not to mention how happy it was. That year, I was only 17 years old. I The production corps where I worked organized a song and dance team, and because I was good at singing and dancing, I was selected into it. From then on, I no longer had to work in the fields. But one time, I accidentally fell while rehearsing a dance. , unfortunately fractured. So I had to go back to Shanghai to recuperate. So I returned to the city. When I was recuperating at home, a friend of my dad came to my house, saw me, and said that I was so beautiful, so I shouldn’t be a It was really a pity for the actor, so he recommended me to become an actor at Shanghai Film Studio."

"You are a blessing in disguise! Your frame is too thin and your body is too frail. You are a woman who is easily injured.

"Hey, you're right. When I was filming, I broke my hand again. Look, the scars on my arms are still there."

Gong Jie said, rolling up his sleeves and pointing to the injured area to show Li Yunhai.

Li Yunhai looked at her white and slender arms, but he didn't see any obvious scars. Maybe girls are particularly sensitive?She loves beauty and pays special attention to any scars on her body. She smiles slightly and says, "Be careful in the future. Don't let yourself get hurt again."

Gong Jie and Li Yunhai clinked their glasses, took a sip of wine, and said, "My path to becoming an actor was very tortuous. Because I was an educated youth at the time, I was looked down upon by film studios. I took part in many exams organized by film and television studios. I They all got perfect marks. But once they heard that I was an educated youth, they stopped hiring me."

"Really? Is there such a thing? Why can't educated youth become actors? How can there be such a rule? Isn't this the same as the discrimination against self-employed people later?"

"Think about it, aren't the self-employed the same group of educated youth who returned to the city?"

"Yes! Alas! Then how did you become an actor?"

"I passed every exam. I felt I had a talent in this area. I didn't want to give up, so I was admitted to the Drama Academy, and finally got rid of the label of an educated youth. Later, I had the opportunity to act in a movie. Slowly, I I just fell in love with this job.”

"I see! So, do you want to give up your favorite career now? No matter how difficult it is now, is it as difficult as when you first entered the industry?"

Gong Jie was silent for a while and said: "Mr. Li, I was deeply affected by that case. Domestic film studios are not willing to film with me because they are afraid that no one will watch the film. I can't get it in China When I was filming, my life was very miserable. My friends in the United States wrote to me and encouraged me to go abroad to pursue my career, and that’s when I came out.”

"Others don't dare to use you, but I dare to use you." Li Yunhai said calmly, "I have watched almost all of your movies. I thought that a good actor like you would not be able to do bad things. This is also my opinion of you. Trust. If others dare not use you in movies, you can change your career to make TV series. TV series have a larger audience and greater influence, which is no worse than being a movie star."

"Thank you, Mr. Li, I am always so happy and relaxed with you. It would be great if I could live this pleasantly every day! Come, let me toast you, our meeting, and our acquaintance. !”

Li Yunhai clinked glasses with her, and they both drank.

The two were chatting, and before they knew it, the night had deepened. They had finished two bottles of wine, and each of them was a little tipsy.

Li Yunhai asked: "Gong Jie, where do you live? I'll take you back."

"Me, me!" Gong Jie pointed outside the window and suddenly fell down on the table.

Li Yunhai shouted: "Gong Jie?"

Gong Jie drank too much. After the alcohol took over, he completely lost his sense of autonomy.

Li Yunhai helped Gong Jie stand up and said, "Gong Jie, wake up!"

Gong Jie smiled and said, "I'm not drunk. Look, I can still walk in a straight line to show you."

After saying that, she fell softly into Li Yunhai's arms.

Li Yunhai helped her to the lobby, thinking about opening another room here and letting her sleep here.

Suddenly there was a violent banging sound outside the door!

Li Yunhai thought it was firecrackers at first, but he immediately realized it was gunshots!
Gong Jie's wine was so frightened that she woke up.

Everyone in the lobby was in a panic.

A middle-aged man with a gun fired several shots at a Cadillac.

There were three men in this Cadillac. They had just checked out from the Plaza Hotel and were about to leave in the car. Unexpectedly, they were shot as soon as they went out!The gangster emptied the magazine before turning around and leaving.

There was a blood stain in front of the hotel. Three foreigners in suits and leather shoes fell in a pool of blood. Their deaths were horrific.

One of them seemed to be still alive and crawled into the hotel covered in blood.

People around him were so frightened that they fled away.

Gong Jie was stunned by the scene in front of her!

She hid tightly in Li Yunhai's arms and buried her head in his chest, not daring to look at the bloody scene.

The man who crawled inside was covered in blood. He crawled for a while and finally breathed his last. There was a long trail of blood behind him, which was shocking.

Sirens sounded outside, and the police arrived late.

The scene was sealed and everyone in the building was temporarily unable to leave.

Although Gong Jie was much more awake, she still couldn't get out.

Li Yunhai wanted to ask the front desk to open an extra room, but he saw that the entire hotel was in chaos, and there was no one in every work station.

The guest was a guest staying in their hotel, and he died in front of the hotel. You can imagine how panicked they were!

Li Yunhai had no choice but to take Gong Jie back to his room and said to her: "Gong Jie, you take a rest first. When the police below leave, I will open a room for you."

Gong Jie sat on the sofa, her alcoholism welling up again. She huddled on the sofa, lay down, and said, "I'll squint for a while. It turns out that this is how it feels when you're drunk. I know it clearly, but I can't do what I want to do." It's a matter of fact. I feel like my hands and feet are no longer my own, and I can't control them at all."

Li Yunhai twisted a hot towel and handed it to her: "Wipe your face! You said you can drink, so I didn't advise you. Who knew you only have such a small amount of alcohol."

Gong Jie took the towel and wanted to wipe her face, but her hands didn't work.

Although Li Yunhai also drank, he was not drunk. He took the towel and carefully and gently wiped Gong Jie's face, eyes, and behind the ears, and then wiped her hands.

Gong Jie's drunken eyes were dim and he smiled slightly: "Thank you. No man has ever been so kind to me! Even my dad has never washed my face."

Although she can't control her body's behavior, she is indeed awake mentally.

After being drunk, I feel like sleeping but can't. This feeling is actually very uncomfortable.

Li Yunhai was drunk twice, but now he won't get drunk anymore. It's so uncomfortable!
Gong Jie kept mumbling to herself, telling Li Yunhai about her life, as well as the stories and tidbits that happened while filming the movie.

As she spoke, she fell asleep.

Li Yunhai stood up and came to the window and looked downstairs. He saw the police car still downstairs with its lights flashing.

He looked at the time, picked up the phone, and talked to Lin Zhi on the phone.

Lin Zhi told him that Guo Wanhua took Chen Meilin back to her hometown in Gusu to worship her ancestors and would be back tomorrow.She said that she had invited Sister Guo and Mei Lin to come to her home to celebrate the New Year, and Sister Guo had agreed.

Li Yunhai smiled and said yes, and said that I bought a ticket for tomorrow and would make sure to get home in time for New Year's Eve.

Lin Zhi said, then we will wait for you to come back in Xizhou, and then we will go back to Shiban Village together.

Li Yunhai asked Lin Zhi to prepare supplies for the New Year, and he would return to the countryside as soon as he arrived in Xizhou.

Lin Zhi suddenly chuckled.

Li Yunhai asked what good things have you thought of?
Lin Zhi chuckled and said, "Yunhai, do you know? Lianxiang Company held a dealer meeting."

"Oh, it must be very successful, right?"

"I don't know how much the deal was, but I heard an interesting thing. They also learned from us and offered free board and lodging."

"Isn't this great? It should attract a lot of dealers."

"More than a few? It's simply too much! I heard that many dealers go there for the free food and accommodation. When they get there, food and accommodation are provided, and they are happy to be traveling for free. They all said that even thinking about this A dealer meeting must have cost more than 100 million! They only sell two products, Hanka and typewriters, and I don’t know if they can recoup the cost!”

Li Yunhai couldn't help laughing.

The standard of food and accommodation in Beijin is definitely higher than that in Xizhou. For the same number of participants, if Li Yunhai would have to spend 60 yuan, even Xiangxiang Company would have to spend 100 million yuan.

Lin Zhi found this particularly funny because she heard that most dealers came to take advantage of free food and accommodation instead of purchasing.She was still at work and hung up the phone after chatting with Li Yunhai.

Li Yunhai stood at the window of the luxurious living room of the Plaza Hotel, looking out at the snowy streets.

The snow has stopped, and the road is busy with cars and pedestrians.

The police car hasn't left yet. It seems that this case is very difficult.

I just wonder if they will go from room to room and check various documents?
Li Yunhai came to the United States alone this time. Except for going to an art exhibition, he never traveled. He came in a hurry and left in a hurry.

Let’s save the exploration of America’s beautiful scenery and delicious food with Linzhi next time!

Li Yunhai closed the curtains and turned to look at Gong Jie. Seeing that she was sleeping soundly, he stopped disturbing her. It was not a problem for someone to sleep on the sofa.

He took a thin quilt and covered Gong Jie.

The hotel's air conditioner is turned on just right, neither too cold nor too hot, but as warm as spring.

Li Yunhai returned to the bedroom, fell on the bed, and fell asleep.

The next morning, Li Yunhai woke up and rubbed his eyes.

He thought about what happened last night, got dressed, got up, and came to the living room.

I saw Gong Jie still sleeping, her delicate body huddled on the sofa, breathing evenly and sleeping soundly.

Li Yunhai smiled and packed his luggage.

He didn't go out to the mall, nor did he bring any gifts to his family. He came with a bag and returned home with a bag.

Li Yunhai took out his wallet and counted the cash.

He set aside some money, and then stuffed more than 1 U.S. dollars into Gong Jie's backpack.

Li Yunhai knew that Gong Jie didn't have much money, and was afraid that she would find a job because of lack of money, or even work as a nanny, and be manipulated and bullied.So he left some money for her, which was enough for her to use for more than a year.

He packed up his things, called room service, and settled the room fee.

Gong Jie woke up with a start, sat up and said, "Mr. Li, did I fall asleep on your side?"

Li Yunhai smiled and said: "Yes, I saw that you were sleeping deeply, so I didn't wake you up. How do you feel? Are you uncomfortable?"

"It's not uncomfortable, I'm much better." Gong Jie finished washing and said, "You want to leave now?"

"Yes, I'm rushing home to celebrate the New Year with my family. Are you still going to stay in the United States? Goodbye then!"

"Mr. Li! When can we meet again?"

“We’ll meet again eventually!”

Gong Jie carried her bag and went downstairs with him.

Li Yunhai took a taxi at the door and headed to the airport.

Gong Jie looked at the silhouette of the car that Juechen drove away and disappeared into the distance, and couldn't help but feel lost.

Although she and Li Yunhai had only been together for a few days, she had a very strange feeling towards him.

Gong Jie hasn't had breakfast yet. Everything in the hotel is too expensive and she won't buy it.

She came to the street, found a hamburger shop, and bought a hamburger.When she opened her bag to get her wallet, she was suddenly stunned.

There's a big stack of dollars in there!

Gong Jie didn't need to think about it, but he also knew that Li Yunhai had put it inside.

She probably counted more than $18000!
This amount of money is equivalent to her salary of working in the United States for two years!

Gong Jie's eyes were sore, and her mind kept thinking about Li Yunhai's handsome and warm smile.

Li Yunhai came to the airport and checked in.

There were very few flights in the 80s, not only few but also expensive.

The air ticket from New York to Shanghai is more than 8000 yuan!
Coupled with the cost of food and accommodation, a round trip will cost more than 2 yuan!

Such expensive expenditure makes it impossible for ordinary Chinese people to go abroad.

Many people who go abroad find it difficult to raise the money for air tickets to go abroad, and then wait until they get to the United States.

This trip home is a long one.

Li Yunhai was afraid that he would be bored on the road, so he bought some newspapers at the airport.

New York newspapers are of course all in English.

Li Yunhai saw that Time Magazine and other magazines were for sale, and bought one as well.

Looking at Time Magazine, Li Yunhai couldn't help but think of the two reporters Linda and Robert. This time, he was in a hurry and didn't have time to contact them.

Holding the magazine in his arms, he came to the waiting room to find a seat and sit down.

There are still 40 minutes before the plane takes off.

Li Yunhai opened the magazine and read it.

"Hey!" A voice came in my ear.

Li Yunhai looked up and saw Gong Jie, and said in surprise: "Why are you here? Are you here to see me off?"

Gong Jie was still panting, untied her scarf, and said with a smile: "Mr. Li, I listen to you, I want to go back to China!"

"Oh? Have you figured it out?" Li Yunhai said with a smile, "Then you don't have to be in such a hurry to go back. It's hard to come here, so you can play here for a while longer!"

"As soon as you left, I suddenly realized that the city of New York seemed to have lost its luster and its soul! It was not fun at all. I walked boredly on the street alone and thought about it for a long time. You can tell me Yes, escaping will not solve the problem, it is the behavior of a coward. I want to go home, I want to live a better life! I want to show those who harmed me that I have not fallen!"

"Gong Jie, it's great that you think so!" Li Yunhai smiled, "Believe me, I won't harm you. The domestic development momentum is far stronger than that of the United States! The United States' economy has developed to To a certain extent, social problems are sudden and acute, and they are about to face a big economic crisis and bubble. The next 20 years will be an era of rapid development for our country. If you miss this great era, you will definitely regret it."

Gong Jie opened her arms, hugged Li Yunhai, and said sincerely:
"Mr. Li, thank you. You are really my life mentor! If I had met you earlier, I would not have gone abroad. I miss home, and I want to go home to spend the New Year with my family! After arriving in Shanghai, you come to my house Would you like to sit down?"

Li Yunhai hugged her, patted her back, then let go and said, "I will definitely not be free this time. I have to rush back to Xizhou to celebrate the New Year! We will have a chance to meet again."

Gong Jie sat next to him and said with a smile: "Of course! Didn't you say what you said? As long as I return to China, you will give me the opportunity to work and make money!"

Li Yunhai said: "Haha, as long as you are willing to help me, there are opportunities to make money everywhere! After the New Year, you can come to me, okay? I will give you a business card with the address of our company on it. Before you come, remember to make a call, I sometimes go on business trips."

Gong Jie ran all the way here just now. For fear of missing Li Yunhai, there was a layer of fine beads of sweat on her forehead. She took out her handkerchief and wiped her forehead and said, "Yes, I know!"

Li Yunhai gave Gong Jie a business card.

Gong Jie took it and put it away solemnly.

Gong Jie's return to China was a surprise to Li Yunhai!
Because people’s thoughts and ideas are the most difficult to change.

Therefore, it is said that the country is easy to change, but the nature is difficult to change.

Gong Jie decided to come to the United States for development, so how could he easily return to China?

"Mr. Li, you gave me so much money, I bought a plane ticket. I can't use the rest, so I will give it back to you."

"You don't have to pay it back, you can keep it and use it! You will still need the money after you return home."

"How is that possible? So much money!"

"As long as you can help me, I believe you can make this money quickly. You are a very capable woman, and you have a reputation that no one in the world can match."

"Thank you, Mr. Li."

"Your English doesn't seem to be very good?"

"It's not good at all. Fortunately, I have friends here, otherwise I wouldn't be able to move forward."

"Well, you have to learn English."

"Okay, I'll go back to China to study. Mr. Li, I haven't asked you yet, what kind of contract did I sign when I came to the United States this time?"

"Patented technology for touch screens."

"I'm sorry, I don't understand this at all. You asked me to work, but I probably won't be able to do it."

"There are many kinds of jobs. You can be the manager of our company's publicity department."

"Propaganda department? Does the company also have a publicity department?"

"Actually, it's the public relations department. We'll talk about this in detail later."

It's boarding time.

Li Yunhai and Gong Jie embarked on a journey back to China together.

The two sat down on the plane and fastened their seat belts.

Gong Jie said: "If I had known that I was just going on a trip, I wouldn't have wasted these few days and planned my trip carefully."

"There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. The so-called exotic customs are just places that others are tired of staying in. The cities that we are tired of staying in are also exotic customs that foreigners yearn for."

"It makes sense! Mr. Li, what you said is so philosophical. I didn't tell my parents yet, and I came directly to the airport! When I return to China, I will definitely give them a huge surprise!"

"That's for sure! I think they still want you to stay with them, right?"

"Mr. Li, when you return to China this time, you will definitely not encounter extreme weather again, right?"

"That's hard to say. Life is unpredictable, and so is the weather."

The beautiful stewardess on the plane taught everyone to fasten their seat belts and sit up straight, and the flight was ready to take off.

Gong Jie smiled and said: "Mr. Li, these flight attendants are so beautiful and elegant."

"Yes, take any one of you home and she will be a good wife!"

"Then do you want a hug?"

"If the plane is in danger again, I'll just hug him! It's at this time that I have so much courage. I'm going to die soon anyway, so do I care about other people's opinions?"

"You really think so?"

"That's what I'm saying. If you're really in danger and you don't have time to take care of yourself, there's no time to hug a flight attendant. Besides, you're right next to me, wouldn't it be nice for me to hug you? You're much prettier than them."

Gong Jie smiled shyly.

The plane took off smoothly and headed to Shanghai.

Have a smooth journey and reach your destination.

Gong Jie went home on her own, and before leaving, she reluctantly hugged Li Yunhai goodbye again.

Li Yunhai took the train home.

When we arrived in Xizhou, it was already the afternoon of New Year’s Eve.

According to the custom in his hometown, he failed to make it to the family's late breakfast.

Lin Zhi, Guo Wanhua and Chen Meilin had already prepared everything. When Li Yunhai got off the train, they picked him up and went back to Shiban Village together.
