That year the flowers bloomed 1981

Chapter 246 The fish looks for the fish and the shrimp looks for the shrimp, the frog looks for the toad (two chapters in one)

Li Dayong took a thousand dollars and sat under the girls' dormitory building all night.

It was not too cold in the capital at the end of April, and Li Dayong was very strong, but when daybreak came, he couldn't help but cough lightly.

The bear-like Li Dayong thought about it all night, but he still didn't understand the meaning of the "angry words" that Li Ye left when he left.
  This is not because Li Dayong is not smart enough. After all, given the simple social environment in 83, perhaps only those romantic poets would use their imagination to blend spirit and softness.

But Li Ye's words, "See what she can give you, weigh it and see if it's worth it" tortured Li Dayong for a whole night.

"If I give her a thousand dollars, what will she give me? Will she give me a bright smile like when we first met? Or will she give me warm care?"

Li Dayong looked at the girls' dormitory building where there was gradually movement, and he felt vaguely hopeful.

Last year, Li Dayong was politely rejected by Hu Man. When he was lonely and lonely, he met Lin Qiuyan, who was already a sophomore, at a gathering of the Dongshan Fellows Association.

Their hometowns are only fifty kilometers apart, and their local accents are similar. Lin Qiuyan is an old student and has the enthusiasm to take care of new classmates. Li Dayong soon found the caring warmth in the other's bright smile.

Later, amidst the good-natured laughter of the people around them, the two naturally formed a new-age couple.

For the first time, Li Dayong felt the thoughtfulness of someone handing him a handkerchief when he was sweating.

For the first time, I tasted the feeling of being full of longing and always thinking about seeing each other every day in "Lushan Love".

It’s just that I don’t know when, it seems to be the Spring Festival this year, or it seems to be earlier, this feeling has slowly changed.

Li Dayong still looked forward to meeting Lin Qiuyan every day, but every time he met, he found that he always made "mistakes" and the anxiety he experienced was far greater than the warmth he once felt.

But Lin Qiuyan's irritability and blame were obviously increasing.

Li Dayong sometimes asks himself soberly, where did Lin Qiuyan, who used to take him around the campus and laugh all the way, go?

[Did I lose her? 】

Li Dayong tried his best to change himself and become the kind of "motivated" boy Lin Qiuyan said, but with the failure of TOEFL, it seemed that all his efforts were in vain.

[Where did I go wrong? 】

Li Dayong couldn't help but shook his head, and reached into his trouser pockets, hoping to smoke a cigarette to refresh himself and have a good chat with Lin Qiuyan later.

But after he put his hand into his trouser pocket, he remembered that he had quit smoking.

Because Lin Qiuyan doesn't like boys who smoke.

When he was in the high school re-reading class, one of Li Dayong's biggest wishes was to be able to smoke as many as he wanted at Daqianmen in the future, and he would not be short of money.

But when he went to college, didn't even look at the front door, and didn't even take a fancy to peony cigarettes, he quit smoking.

"Li Dayong, what are you doing sitting here?"

A confused call woke up the dazed Li Dayong.

He looked up and found that they were two girls in his class, Shao Huimin and Meng Qingli.

Both of them were dressed in sportswear. They were obviously going for a morning jog, and they happened to see Li Dayong, who had been sitting there all night.

Li Dayong suddenly felt a little embarrassed and said with a smile: "Oh, I just finished my morning run and I'm waiting for someone here!"

Shao Huimin looked at Li Dayong's wet hair and asked with some confusion: "Did you go for a morning jog just now?"

Shao Huimin is a member of the principal's running team and is very familiar with the appearance of a person after running.

Li Dayong's complexion was not rosy at all, but was slightly pale. Looking at the moist outer layer of his hair and the cool dew on the bench, it looked like he had been sitting here for a long time.

Li Dayong noticed Shao Minhui's doubts and quickly changed the subject: "Are you guys going for a morning jog? Hey, are the sportswear you are wearing today the Fenghua brand that says 'Domestic products should be used for self-reliance'? They are indeed beautiful. ah!"

Although the topic change is a bit abrupt, girls will certainly be interested when it comes to clothes.

Moreover, the new sportswear worn by the two girls is indeed much better-looking than the common blue sportswear nowadays.

"Yes! We went to buy it on Sunday, and we waited in line for two hours!"

"You've been waiting in line for two hours? Where are you buying train tickets? As for that?"

Li Dayong was half-joking. Although he knew that his Fenghua brand was very good, he never thought that a few college students who were proud of heaven would be willing to line up to buy it.

After all, the school still advocates "hardship and simplicity" at this time, and most students don't have much money in their pockets. A piece of clothing worth tens of yuan is not really cheap.

Meng Qingli smiled and said: "It's good that we waited in line for two hours to buy something. Qu Qianqian wanted to buy cardamom series of casual wear, but after waiting in line for three hours, she got a pre-sale ticket. When There’s still no guarantee the goods will arrive!”

"Cardamom series?" Li Dayong nodded and said: "I know this series is specifically aimed at our young people. The quality and style are pretty good."

"It's not just good," Shao Huimin said in a gossipy tone: "We are not afraid of not knowing the goods, but we are afraid of comparing goods. We heard from Qu Qianqian that the clothes in the Friendship Store are not as good as the Cardamom series, but they are too difficult to buy. .”

"Really?" Li Dayong thought for a moment and said, "Well, I actually have some ideas. If you want to buy Fenghua brand in the future, I may be able to help."

The two girls were stunned for a moment, and then asked happily: "Can you help us ask if the beauty series is still in stock? My sister has gone to buy it several times, but she can't even grab it."

"The reason why we can't grab it is that people are too superficial, don't realize the true facts, and are willing to be deceived by those profiteers."

"."

A cold word sounded from behind the two girls, which suddenly disappointed the few people who had been in high spirits just now.

Shao Huimin and Meng Qingli looked back and saw Lin Qiuyan holding two books and walking slowly.

Lin Qiuyan had the habit of reading in the morning. When she got down from the dormitory today, she saw Li Dayong and two girls. After walking over, she heard that the three of them had a "very happy conversation", and for some reason, sarcastic words came out casually.

Li Dayong frowned and was about to explain a few words, but Shao Huimin and Meng Qingli were not happy.

"Minister Lin, what do you mean by this? Who do you say is superficial? Who do you say has been deceived?"

"That's right! You like to wear imported travel shoes and trousers, but we 'use domestic products to strengthen ourselves'. What's wrong?"

Two girls finally bought two pairs of good-looking and easy-to-wear sportswear, but they were called "superficial" and "deceived" by Lin Qiuyan. How could they be willing?

"Did I say you are superficial?"

Lin Qiuyan's indifferent eyes swept over, and she stared at Li Dayong emphatically, and then said: "Fenghua brand clothing advertised 'Domestic products should be used for self-improvement' and 'Export to domestic sales' two months ago,"

"If it is true that domestic products should be used to strengthen themselves, they should no longer use exports to domestic sales as a publicity stunt, let alone deceive people, and you... were just deceived."

Shao Huimin was stunned for a moment, and then said displeasedly: "Domestic products should be self-reliant, what is the conflict between exporting to domestic sales?
  Only when our goods are good can we export them. People in the mainland have needs, so they sell them domestically. What's wrong with this? Isn’t it better than those imported goods that obviously don’t look good but sell for hundreds of dollars? "

Because Lin Qiuyan has a cousin who came back from abroad, she always has one or two imported goods, and she always thinks that her taste is "fashionable" compared to others. This is the existence of a hate collector among girls.

But Lin Qiuyan faced Shao Huimin's insinuation and said coldly: "Do you know that Fenghua brand clothing was just registered after the Spring Festival this year, but this year's Spring Canton Fair has just ended.

So tell me, when were they exported? What if they weren't a lie? "

"."

Shao Huimin and Meng Qingli were immediately stunned.

Since there is no export, how can it be "switched to domestic sales"? This is indeed an irrefutable breach of vulnerability.

The two girls looked down at their new sportswear, and suddenly they didn't feel so good.

"You are wrong about Qiu Yan, Fenghua's clothes are not deceiving."

"."

The three girls turned their heads sharply and looked at Li Dayong who was speaking.

Lin Qiuyan's little eyes were as cold and stern as a whoosh of cold air.

But Li Dayong slowly stood up and said: "When the Fenghua brand was founded, it faced both the mainland and foreign markets."

"The three-button waist trench coat in their beauty series, the stand-up short casual wear in the cardamom series, and the cool series of sportswear worn by Shao Huimin all won awards at the Fuso Tokyo Fashion Festival in March this year."

"At the just-concluded Spring Canton Fair, Fenghua Clothing won orders from [-] countries and regions, totaling more than [-] million US dollars. This news was even published in Yangcheng newspapers."

Shao Huimin, Meng Qingli and Lin Qiuyan were all stunned.

Especially Lin Qiuyan.

He looked at Li Dayong who was talking calmly, as if time and space suddenly intertwined and he was back more than half a year ago.

At that time, Li Dayong was as confident, cheerful, and interesting as he is now.
  However, today is not the right time or occasion.

Lin Qiuyan is confronting two girls. Whose side are you, Li Dayong, on?
  Are you blind? Have you changed your mind and fallen in love with these two little girls who are not familiar with you?
  Li Dayong was not blind, nor did he change his mind.

But Fenghua Clothing is the hard work of Li Ye, Jin Peng and other brothers. No matter how bastard Li Dayong is, he must stand up to defend its innocence.

Lin Qiuyan took deep breaths to restrain herself from scolding Li Dayong loudly.

"The contract for Fenghua Clothing has just been signed, but there is no fact that export has occurred,"

Lin Qiuyan said contemptuously: "And since you say Fenghua Clothing is so good, do you know that the styles of Fenghua Clothing are not designed by our people, but are authorized by companies in Hong Kong Island?
  So can it still be considered a domestic product? We should frankly admit that there is a gap with the international situation, and should not use such despicable means to deceive the public. "

Shao Huimin and Meng Qingli were very surprised. They didn't expect that they could hear so much novel news just from a chance encounter in the morning.

The novel news isn’t over yet.

As soon as Lin Qiuyan finished speaking, the two girls saw Li Dayong's face suddenly change and become very serious.

"Then do you know that the style of Fenghua Clothing was designed by us mainlanders, but he did not have the opportunity to participate in overseas exhibitions, so he cooperated with Hong Kong Island. Why is it not a domestic product?"

When Li Ye modified the style in Fan Xiuling's store, Jin Peng and Hao Jian witnessed the whole process. How could Jin Peng not show off to his good brother when he was using his ambition to destroy others' prestige?
  Now that Lin Qiuyan said this, it was equivalent to a direct stab at Li Ye, and Li Dayong couldn't bear it anymore.

"And classmate Lin Qiuyan, let me remind you that Hong Kong Island is the territory of our flower growers, and products from Hong Kong Island are also domestic products."

"."

Lin Qiuyan's face turned pale.

Li Dayong's fierce words made her feel the sharp pain of "stab in the back".

"Li Dayong, do you know what you are talking about?" Lin Qiuyan's voice was trembling.

Li Dayong was also a little uncomfortable, but he still insisted: "I am clarifying your misunderstandings. Domestic products are difficult. I hope everyone will be less prejudiced against them and have more support."

In fact, starting from Erliangdian, Li Ye has been subtly instilling in a small group of eight people the idea that "foreign countries are nothing special, but flower cultivation is the most awesome thing."

Faced with Lin Qiuyan's petty temper, Li Dayong could accept the grievance with a smile. Faced with Lin Qiuyan's pursuit of imported goods and yearning for overseas, he could not defend or object.

But when faced with such obvious misunderstanding and contempt, the fire planted in Li Ye's heart suddenly burned, supporting his righteous resistance.

Lin Qiuyan bit her lip and was silent for a long time, then asked Li Dayong coldly: "Is this what you are waiting for me here for so early in the morning?"

"."

Li Dayong didn't say anything immediately, but Meng Qingli said aggrievedly: "Hey, Lin Qiuyan, Li Dayong rested here after his morning run. Why is he waiting for you?"

Lin Qiuyan ignored Meng Qingli and looked at Li Dayong.

Li Dayong was stunned for a long time, then suddenly smiled and said: "Yes, I am indeed waiting for you here, and I have been waiting for you all night."

Shao Huimin: "."

Meng Qingli: "."

Li Dayong smiled at the two classmates and motioned for them to leave first.

After the two female classmates left, Li Dayong said: "I found a friend who can exchange it for US dollars. I will wait for you here."

Li Dayong originally wanted to take out the dollars directly, but remembering what Li Ye said, he made an ambush by accident.

Then, Li Dayong saw Lin Qiuyan's cold eyes and softened a little.

"Then why did you wait all night? And why did you just talk to Shao Huimin and the others?"

"I'm waiting here all night because I want to ask you a question,"

Li Dayong looked up at Lin Qiuyan, hesitated and said: "I heard that many international students no longer want to return to China after seeing the prosperity overseas, so you..."

"Dayong, what are you talking about? Are you trying to destroy me? Do you know that once such rumors spread, my qualification to study abroad will be immediately revoked?"

"."

Facing the suddenly excited Lin Qiuyan, Li Dayong was caught off guard, but his heart gradually cooled down.

Lin Qiuyan's reaction shouldn't be so strong.

Lin Qiuyan told Li Dayong more than once that her cousin who studied in Lighthouse saw what a beautiful world she had in Lighthouse.

The clothes, cars, and products of Lighthouse are so advanced, and the intellectuals of Lighthouse are so respected. After graduation, it was even more difficult to return to China after a few months delay.

This is naturally in conflict with the concept that Li Ye has instilled over the past two years.

"Okay Dayong, I will write to you," Lin Qiuyan exhaled and said, "How many dollars does your friend have? One for five or one for six. If it is one for seven, I won't change it."

Li Dayong shook his head, reached out and took out the US dollar that Li Ye gave him, and said at the same time: "My friend gave it to me, you don't need to exchange it."

Lin Qiuyan glanced at Li Dayong in surprise, and then said mercilessly: "It will only make people feel sad if they pretend to be fat.

Li Dayong, where did your reserve and modesty go when you first came to school? Are you using money to maintain your self-confidence?

If you fail the TOEFL, you can take the test again next year, but if your confidence is gone, what hope do you have?
  You came from a small county town and came to the capital, and your family dotes on you. Do you think it's a big deal? Do you know that there are countless people in this world who are better than you and work harder than you?"

"."

Li Dayong looked at Lin Qiuyan in shock. Listening to her instructive reprimands, he suddenly felt very funny.

[My self-confidence, wasn’t it all tortured by you, Lin Qiuyan? 】

However, Li Dayong's academic performance is not as good as Lin Qiuyan, and he is considered to be in the middle of the class, unlike Lin Qiuyan, who is the top student in school.

But he never lost confidence and he kept working hard.

As for saying that his family dotes on him, it is not wrong.

Li Dayong has never had the pride of "making his own money". He was taken away by Li Ye, who is a member of his family.

Therefore, Lin Qiuyan always advised him to "make progress", and he accepted it humbly.

But now he suddenly understood, who the hell wasn't taken away?

One for five, one for six, do you, Lin Qiuyan, have your own money?
  Aren’t your family members giving you money in exchange for US dollars so that you can study abroad and see the prosperous world?

The fish looks for the fish, the shrimp looks for the shrimp, and the frog looks for the toad.

Lin Qiuyan, from beginning to end, thought that Li Dayong was a frog.

But when they were at the Erliang Store, Li Ye told everyone clearly, "We are the golden carps that jumped over the dragon gate and took advantage of the clouds to transform into dragons."

"Heh~~"

Li Dayong looked up at the sky and smiled lightly.

A pair of invisible shackles seemed to be shattered inch by inch with this chuckle.

A man's liberation is always a momentary movement.

Therefore, many people will be mistakenly classified as "scumbags".

But in fact, this "scumbag" may have been submissive for a long, long time before he was freed.

Li Dayong clenched the $1000 and turned away decisively.

Lin Qiuyan was completely stunned. Seeing Li Dayong walking further and further away, she shouted angrily: "Li Dayong, what do you mean?"

Li Dayong paused, turned back slightly, and showed a bright smile.

"It's nothing. You don't need to write to me anymore. We are not the same person."

"."

"Li Dayong, don't regret it!"

"Don't worry, I will never regret it!"

Li Dayong smiled, turned around and ran, as if he was afraid that Lin Qiuyan would catch up.

The faster he ran, the happier he felt.

[It turns out that after letting go completely, it’s not that painful. 】

"Li Dayong, didn't you just run in the morning? Why are you still running so fast?"

Shao Huimin and Meng Qingli were running when they met Li Dayong, laughing and teasing this infatuated guy.

But Li Dayong laughed "haha" and quickened his pace and ran out of the school gate.

He ran across the street, squeezed into the bus, and went all the way to Beijing University. Then he found Li Ye out of breath and took out the $1000.

"Brother, give it back to you."

Li Ye looked at Li Dayong, who was panting like a dog, and after a long time he smiled and said, "Have you figured it out?"

"I figured it out, she's not a bad person, but she's not worth it."

Li Dayong slapped 1000 US dollars into Li Ye's hand and said with a smile: "Brother, you are right, I am qualified to choose a forest.

I don't need to accommodate anyone, nor do I need to be wronged for anyone. There is no grass anywhere in the world. I will always meet a girl who really likes me, and I really like her. "

"."

Although Li Ye had already speculated, he was also surprised by Li Dayong's "growth".

[Why the hell am I not going to cultivate a charming little prince? 】

Li Ye thought for a moment and said solemnly: "Dayong, you have to tell me what's going on."

Li Dayong was not embarrassed and immediately told everything about what happened this morning.

"Brother, let's forget the rest, but I finally realized that her views are different from ours. She respects the prosperity overseas, but she also despises our own 'hard work to get rich'. This is very contradictory. "

"It's quite contradictory." Li Ye thought for a moment and asked Li Dayong: "That Lin Qiuyan actually knows the registration time of Fenghua Clothing and the Hong Kong Island design authorization?"

Li Dayong didn't notice Li Ye's strangeness, and nodded and explained: "Yes, her cousin worked in the foreign trade system after studying abroad and returning to China. She should have told Lin Qiuyan."

"Oh~, that's what it is."

Li Ye nodded and asked another topic: "You said your classmates can't buy Fenghua brand clothes?"

Li Dayong said: "Yes! I immediately said that there was a way. Do you think that a dozen or so clothes at most would not affect normal sales?"

"It doesn't matter, but your method is wrong."

Li Ye thought for a while and said: "After you return to school, you can contact your class teacher or student union and tell them that Fenghua Clothing intends to hold a student show in your school and sell a certain amount of clothing at [-]% off the student price. Ask them if Intentional.”

Li Dayong was stunned for a while, then quickly shook his head and said: "Brother, I just want to help a few classmates. You don't have to pay for my face and make a fuss."

"Who said I lost money? Have you ever seen me lose money? Go to work quickly. Now it's time for you, the shareholder, to work hard for everyone."

Li Ye smiled and punched Li Dayong, driving the confused bear away.

Children in the [-]s had limited knowledge. How could they know that college students are one of the most receptive groups to fashion? As long as they gain a reputation among college students, their impact on the Fenghua brand will be astonishing.
