Life 1984

When Li Yunhai came to Huacheng, the Canton Fair was already halfway through.

He, Zhuang Yong and others took a taxi to Zhiyuan and arranged for Zhuang Yong and others to stay in a nearby guest house.It is far away from the Canton Fair, and there are empty beds in guest houses and hotels.

After entering the room, he put his luggage in the bedroom, and suddenly heard a noise from the guest bedroom next door.

He walked out and took a look, only to see Gong Jie walking out sleepily.

"Sister Gong!" Li Yunhai said with a smile, "Why are you sleeping at home?"

Gong Jie was wearing a loose nightgown. She stretched and raised the hem of the skirt, revealing a pair of straight and slender legs.

She covered her mouth, yawned, and said, "Mr. Li, you are back! We have been filming at night and resting during the day these days."

Li Yunhai asked: "Are you in such a hurry? Do you have to work overtime to film the movie?"

Gong Jie said: "Isn't that right? This drama is very popular right now. We are currently filming four episodes a week and broadcasting four episodes, filming and broadcasting now. Recently, all the filming is night scene scenes."

Li Yunhai said: "I woke you up. You can sleep again! I'm going to the Canton Fair."

Gong Jie shook his head: "I won't sleep anymore. If I sleep any more, I'll be confused. I'm going to take a shower."

Li Yunhai tidied up and went to and from the Canton Fair exhibition hall.

Thanks to the efforts of Lin Zhi, Shen Xiulan, and Zhao Jinping, Sihai Group received a total of US$5000 million in orders.

This turnover was basically the same as the previous session.

As expected, although the third generation typewriter has minor updates, it does not have much appeal to foreign businessmen.

The global semiconductor market has entered a period of weakness, and the overall sales of electronic products are now declining. It is considered a very good achievement for Sihai Group to achieve such results under such a severe situation.

At this Canton Fair, Sihai Group got some of the best booths from the provincial delegation, with five bays in a row, all opened up to form a full-length shop. Several products on display were arranged neatly, leaving enough space. The space is used by foreign businessmen to negotiate business.

Lin Zhi and others were receiving foreign businessmen. When they saw Li Yunhai arriving, they waved to him.

Li Yunhai nodded to them and found a seat to sit down.

He glanced at Shen Xiulan and saw that she was wearing a uniform salesperson's clothing, with a women's suit on the upper body and a one-step skirt on the lower body. Her figure looked unusually slim and beautiful.

Lin Zhi saw off the foreign businessmen, came to him, and said with a smile: "Last time we only had 3 booths and got so many orders. This time we have two more booths, but we only got 5000 million US dollars. You Are you saying we are too useless? It seems like you need to be in charge."

The two haven't seen each other for more than ten days, and they both miss each other a little, but it's not easy to be intimate in public.

Li Yunhai looked at the sales reports these days and said, "Not bad. By the way, Paiqi Company's booth is still at the Lingnan Provincial Delegation. In fact, we can move it over and put it here."

Lin Zhi said let’s talk about it next time!Putting them together is indeed easier to manage.But with so many engineering machines occupying two of our booths, it would be better to put them in the Lingnan Provincial delegation, don’t you think?
Li Yunhai thought about it too.

Paiqi has now been acquired by Sihai Group, including all factories and businesses in the mainland and Hong Kong.

Because the joint venture factory of Paiqi Company is in Huacheng, the booth is still located in Huacheng.Under the leadership of Guo Wanhua, the company has participated in several Canton Fairs and has a mature team members.

Li Yunhai came to Paiqi's booth and saw several employees chatting together.

Engineering machinery products are inherently difficult to sell, but every time an order is placed it is always a big one.

Li Yunhai walked in and coughed heavily.

When the employees saw Li Yunhai, they quickly stopped talking and greeted Li Yunhai together.

Li Yunhai asked about their billing status.

The person in charge introduced to Li Yunhai that this year's Canton Fair had received more than 2000 million US dollars in orders. From what he said, it was already remarkable to be able to win so many orders.

After Li Yunhai acquired Paiqi Company, it was still managed by Guo Wanhua, and the entire management team members remained unchanged.

He has learned that at the last Canton Fair, Paiqi Company received orders worth more than 6000 million US dollars.

Therefore, his request for this Canton Fair is to be the same as the previous one.

These people were all selected by Guo Wanhua. He also believed that the quality of this group of people would not be too bad. He immediately encouraged them and said that Mr. Guo could not come in Xiangjiang due to childbirth and would come when she was pregnant. , you must give your best results and report to Mr. Guo.

Some foreign businessmen came in to look at the machine. Li Yunhai waved his hand and ended the short meeting, saying that you should go entertain the foreign businessmen!

A salesman came forward to entertain the foreign businessmen and introduced their products loudly to the businessmen in English.

Li Yunhai originally wanted to leave, but after hearing the sales pitch over there, he stayed again.

He did not step forward to interrupt others, but waited for the other party to finish the introduction and the foreign businessman left before waving to the salesman.

The salesman came over and said with a smile: "Hello, Mr. Li."

Li Yunhai reminded him to pay attention to the noise.

The salesman asked in confusion: "Mr. Li, is my English bad? Was what I just said wrong?"

Li Yunhai said: "You are right, your volume is wrong. Foreign businessmen just can't understand our language, they are not deaf. When you talk to others, there is no need to use such a loud voice. It is easy for foreign businessmen to think that, You were quarreling, or you thought he was deaf. The foreign businessman's micro-expression just now reflected this. He took two steps back, and you chased after him again, continuing to slap his face and speak loudly. This is very rude."

The salesman was speechless.

Li Yunhai said: "I don't mean to blame you. I also know that you want to perform better. In the future, during the sales process, don't just focus on what you say to be happy. You must always pay attention to the expressions and reactions of foreign businessmen and make appropriate changes. A sales strategy may be more effective.”

The salesman blushed and said, "Mr. Li, I understand. Thank you for the reminder."

Li Yunhai said: "Okay, work hard! I will set a goal for you. As long as you can get 7000 million US dollars in orders for this Canton Fair, I will give each of you a bonus of 2000 yuan! You are a group, Please cooperate sincerely and work hard together! I will leave it to you to do the sales of Paiqi Company."

When they heard that there was a bonus, and it was as much as 2000 yuan, everyone's faces flashed with strange expressions, and they all said they would work hard to achieve the goal.

Li Yunhai walked out of the Paiqi company's booth. When he passed by a booth, he saw many foreign businessmen gathered around him. He couldn't help but be curious and came forward to watch the fun.

This booth is very special. It sells various handicrafts, such as traditional Chinese paper-cutting, clay figurines, weaving, fabrics, etc.

A staff member was cutting paper with scissors. The patterns he cut out were all three-dimensional, including lanterns, animals, etc. They were very magical and attracted the attention of many foreigners.

A foreign businessman asked how to sell paper-cuts?
The staff replied that it was $20 each.

Foreigners say it’s too expensive, but they are also sold in our country. You can buy a dozen for $20!

He actually knows the quantifier "一 dozen" in our Chinese language.

Li Yunhai said: "There is a difference between paper-cutting and paper-cutting. This is a high-level artistic paper-cutting. It is our country's traditional folk culture. They are all inheritors of exquisite craftsmanship. Just like a painting, it can also be divided into the artist's work and ordinary ones." People’s paintings. In the paper-cutting world, they are artists.”

His expression and explanation won everyone's approval and applause.

Foreigners spend their money to buy these fine works of art.

Li Yunhai bought a small cloth tiger doll.

He returned to his booth and put the cloth tiger he bought into his briefcase.

Lin Zhi saw it and asked with a smile: "How old are you? You still buy this to play with?"

Li Yunhai laughed and said: "I bought it for Sister Guo's son to play with. Isn't this the Year of the Tiger? Sister Guo gave birth to a tiger baby, named Guo Zhian, nicknamed An'an."

Lin Zhi snorted and asked, "Isn't the baby cute? Is it chubby? Will it make you smile if you pinch it?"

Li Yunhai said: "You think it's a toy? It makes you laugh when you pinch it! When we have a baby in the future, you must not pinch it and play with it every day!"

Lin Zhi chuckled.

After get off work, Li Yunhai and the others returned home, and Shen Xiulan and Lin Zhi cooked for themselves.

Gong Jie and Cheng Lin both had to film in the evening, so they went out early and were not at home.

Lin Zhi stuck her head out and shouted: "Yunhai, there is no salt. You go out and buy a pack of salt, and bring back a few green onions by the way."

Li Yunhai asked: "It's so late, where can I buy onions?"

Lin Zhi walked out of the kitchen and said, "Forget it, I'll let you go. I won't be able to find a place for a long time. I'll go out and buy it! You go and help Xiulan."

She took her wallet and hurried out.

Li Yunhai came to the kitchen, leaned against the door frame, and watched Shen Xiulan busy.

Shen Xiulan was wearing a blue floral apron, looking quite like a little daughter-in-law. Seeing that he kept staring at her, she couldn't help but blush slightly, and said coquettishly: "What are you doing? Go watch your TV! You are not needed here. Help, you are still in the way here!"

Since the last time they made love in the woods of his alma mater, the two have never had a chance to be alone together. Li Yunhai had a lot to say to her.

"Xiulan, I've been in Xiangjiang these days and I didn't ask about your situation."

"what's the situation?"

"We just fell in love in school, you didn't have any adverse reactions, right?"

"What adverse reactions could there be? I'm very fine! It's no different from before."

"We didn't take any measures. I was afraid you would be pregnant with a baby."

"Ah? Are you overthinking it? Just once, can you still be pregnant with a baby?"

"Why only once? I remember it was five times!"

"You, please stop talking! Be careful if Lin Zhi comes back and overhears." "I'm serious, if you have a reaction, you must tell me and I will take responsibility."

"Nonsense! I won't get pregnant! I don't even have a boyfriend. If I get pregnant, the whole world will laugh to death! My parents will also be unable to hold their heads high."

"Ahem, so if you are really pregnant, I will accompany you to the hospital for a check-up."

"Go away, I don't want to talk to you."

"What happened that day was obviously of your own free will, so why do you blame me?"

"I don't blame you, but you shouldn't talk about it and think about it all the time! Is it interesting? Do you think you can show it off? You slept with a very beautiful woman again!"

Li Yunhai looked at her in shock and said, "Conscience of heaven and earth, I have never thought of it this way!"

Shen Xiulan snorted: "I'll tell you again, it's just this one time between us. I just wanted to fulfill a dream in my youth. Now that it's been completed, that matter has disappeared! Please don't mention it again in the future!" I’m disgusted!”

Li Yunhai sneered and said: "Disgusted? How interesting! How come you, a person, can change your face faster than flipping through a book? Don't I care about you? On the contrary, I am wrong? Since you are disgusted, why did you do that that day? The sheets are yours Did you bring it with you?"

Shen Xiulan pursed her lips and said nothing.

Li Yunhai felt that she was feeling angry, because they had just had a relationship, so he went to Xiangjiang and stayed there for more than ten days.

So he stretched out his hand, hugged Shen Xiulan, and said warmly: "I really have important things to go to Xiangjiang. It doesn't mean that I ran away after sleeping with you. You clearly know that I am not that kind of person."

Shen Xiulan held a kitchen knife in her hand, turned around, and gestured to him: "Don't touch me!"

Li Yunhai was startled, and quickly let go of his hand, saying, "Xiulan, what do you want to do? You don't want to castrate me, do you?"

Shen Xiulan couldn't help laughing, she smiled, and then she stopped smiling and said, "Who is smiling with you? It doesn't matter to me whether you run away or not? Whether you are a person who always gives up and always gives up, it has nothing to do with me."

Li Yunhai gently pressed the kitchen knife in her hand and said, "Then you are still angry with me?"

Shen Xiulan's pretty eyes moved and she said, "Okay, if you really want to be responsible for me, then withdraw from Lin Zhi's marriage and let's get engaged!"

Li Yunhai suddenly stuttered: "This, this, this? Aren't you deliberately making things difficult for me?"

Shen Xiulan sneered: "Then don't provoke me again, otherwise, be careful I really hit you with a knife!"

Lin Zhi's voice came from outside: "Xiulan, who are you going to knock?"

Li Yunhai and Shen Xiulan were both shocked. They didn't expect Lin Zhi to come back silently.

Shen Xiulan pushed Li Yunhai to let him out, and then said with a smile: "Yunhai said he met a bad guy in Xiangjiang. I said just take a knife and kill him."

Lin Zhi walked into the kitchen, tore open the package of the salt bag, poured the salt into the jar, and said with a smile: "This is a society governed by the rule of law. It is illegal to use a knife."

Li Yunhai smiled sarcastically, stood outside the door and said, "How about we also hire a nanny? So that we don't let the two little fairies take action and roughen our jade hands."

Lin Zhi said while washing the onions, "Isn't it necessary? How long have we been here every year? We can make enough food and clothing by ourselves! The food cooked by the nanny may not be to our liking! My parents' house has had three nannies. , no one is satisfied. My dad is used to eating my mother’s cooking, but now my mother still does the cooking, and only lets the nanny do the cooking.”

Li Yunhai chatted with them until they prepared the meal and took it outside to eat.

Lin Zhi has been living with Shen Xiulan these days. The two of them think about how to cook every day, and each other's skills have greatly improved.

After dinner, Lin Zhi said it was boring at night, let’s go watch a movie?
Shen Xiulan smiled and said, you two haven't seen each other for so long, why don't you go upstairs to sleep quickly?
Lin Zhi made a big face, took Shen Xiulan's arm and smiled: "Okay, you have learned to make fun of people! Let's go and watch a movie together."

Shen Xiulan raised her lips and said, "You two are going to watch a movie on a date. What does it mean if I'm with you? I'm not going."

Lin Zhi chuckled and took her hand: "Yun Hai and I are an old couple, do you still care about this two dates?"

Shen Xiulan looked reluctant and was dragged away by Lin Zhi.

She really didn't want to be their light bulb, but she couldn't resist Lin Zhi's pull.

The three of them came to the cinema and bought movie tickets.

What they watched was "Mermaid", which tells the story of synchronized swimmer Zhao Meiying and her teammates.

This is my country's earliest promotional film for synchronized swimming.

The swimming team members inside are all of the same age and have the same appearance.

For the sake of their careers, they had to postpone their wedding time and time again, causing many accidents and jokes.

Li Yunhai sat between Lin Zhi and Shen Xiulan. He quietly reached out and touched Shen Xiulan's hand.

Shen Xiulan ignored him, just retracted her muscles and crossed them in front of her abdomen.

Li Yunhai whispered: "You said this plot is true. If they want to get married, they will get married. As long as they don't have children and just hold a wedding, it will not affect training and competition. This heroine has to be postponed again and again. This is not intentional. Creating conflicts? Xiulan, do you think so?"

Shen Xiulan said: "Yes! How about you write a script? Let them get married first, and then the heroine will not consummate the marriage with the groom every day for training, and new conflicts will arise."

Lin Zhi chuckled and said, "Xiulan still sees clearly! If there is no conflict in this movie, then what else would we watch? It's either this conflict or that conflict."

Of course Li Yunhai also understood this truth, but he just wanted to find a topic to chat with Shen Xiulan, and he found it boring to see her targeting him in everything.

After watching the movie, the three of them walked out of the cinema. Unexpectedly, it started drizzling.

Like a magic trick, Shen Xiulan took out a folding umbrella from her bag and said, "Fortunately, I always have an umbrella in my bag!"

One umbrella, three people hold it.

Li Yunhai took the umbrella from her hand, opened it, and let them hide in the umbrella, one on each side. The three of them walked outside to the roadside to find a taxi.

There were many citizens coming out after watching the movie, and taxis were being snatched away one after another.

Li Yunhai put his arm around Lin Zhi's waist and put his other hand on Shen Xiulan's shoulder, euphemistically saying he was protecting them from the rain, but in reality, he was hugging them from left to right in the name of protecting flowers.

Shen Xiulan couldn't avoid it, so she had to let him put her shoulder on his shoulder and gently twist her hand on the outside of his thigh.

Li Yunhai was in pain, but he didn't dare to shout out, it was so sour.

Lin Zhi stopped a taxi, but a couple rushed next to it and got into it with lightning speed.

"Hey, we stopped the car!" Lin Zhi stamped her feet angrily.

The woman who snatched the car smiled and said: "Comrade, you have an umbrella, but we didn't bring one. Just wait for the next taxi! Thank you!"

The taxi driver didn't care anyway, he just took everyone he could and drove away with a whoosh.

Li Yunhai smiled and said: "Don't be in a hurry, wait slowly, how about we go to the front and stop the car? Walking in the rain is also very romantic!"

Shen Xiulan pinched the outside of his thigh again and rolled her eyes at him.Of course she knew that Li Yunhai enjoyed the feeling of three people hiding under the same umbrella.

Lin Zhi didn't know the little moves between the two of them, so she smiled and said, "Okay, let's go to the front and stop the car."

As they were talking, a private car drove over and stopped in front of them. The window rolled down, and a head popped out, shouting: "Shen Xiulan! It's really you! I thought I saw it wrong!" Don’t you work at the Xizhou Commerce Bureau? Why are you here in Huacheng?”

Shen Xiulan took a closer look, exclaimed, and said, "Aren't you that one?"

The driver smiled and said: "You won't forget your old classmates so soon? When we were in No. [-] Middle School, we were still at the same table!"

Li Yunhai thought to himself that this person was Shen Xiulan's junior high school classmate.

Of course Shen Xiulan also remembered this person, but she couldn't call him by his name for a while, which seemed very embarrassing.

The driver had an exaggerated expression of pain on his face: "My name is Liu Heping! You have forgotten such an easy-to-remember name? This really makes me sad!"

Shen Xiulan chuckled and said: "Yes, you are Liu Heping. I didn't remember your name for a while. You look a little different! You are more handsome than before!"

These words instantly made Liu Heping happy. He got out of the car, opened the door, and laughed: "Actually, I have always been so handsome! Speaking of which, we haven't seen each other for several years, and you are still as beautiful as before. Elegant, worthy of being the school belle of No. [-] Middle School! I talked about you last time I got together with my classmates. Come on, get in the car, and I’ll see you off.”

Shen Xiulan was not polite and sat in the passenger seat.

Li Yunhai put away his umbrella and got into the back seat with Lin Zhi.

Liu Heping got into the car and asked: "Shen Xiulan, have you found a boyfriend? This can't be your boyfriend, right?"

Shen Xiulan smiled and said: "What kind of eyesight do you have? Didn't you see them sitting together? They are a couple."

Liu Heping laughed and said: "So, you are still single? What a coincidence, I am single too!"

Li Yunhai and Lin Zhi looked at each other.

Lin Zhi pursed her lips and smiled: "This person likes Xiulan."

Of course Li Yunhai heard it and hummed absentmindedly.

Shen Xiulan asked: "Liu Heping, where will you go to school after graduating from junior high school?"

Liu Heping chuckled: "I can't read, so what book should I study? After I graduated from junior high school, I heard that the south was opening up, so I came here to do business."

Shen Xiulan was surprised: "Really? Then what are you doing now?"

Liu Heping said: "I first set up a street stall and did some small business. After I made money, I opened a home appliance fan factory."

Shen Xiulan said: "That's right, you are so awesome! Did you buy this car yourself? 0"

Liu Heping said with a proud smile: "Yes, I just bought it this year. I bought the Xiali produced by Tianjin Automobile Plant after looking for connections, and it cost 12 yuan!" (End of Chapter)
