Accidentally Born in the ‘60s:

Actually, staying up all night is not a problem for Zhen Zhen, so after Xi Junjie carried Zhen Zhen back to the house, the two moved from the bathroom to the bedroom, fighting vigorously for several rounds before falling asleep until the next morning At ten o'clock, Zhen Zhen's alarm rang, and the two of them opened their eyes in a daze. Curling her toes, Zhen Zhen pushed Xi Junjie lazily: "Honey, I want to drink water."

Xi Junjie remembered the lingering relationship with Zhen Zhen last night, his ambiguous eyes rolled around on Zhen Zhen's fair shoulders, he took a light bite, and a slightly hoarse voice sounded in Zhen Zhen's ear: "But what if I still want to hug you?"

Noticing the numbness on the shoulders and the breathing that was getting closer to the ears, Zhen Zhen's cheeks were a little red, she turned around to avoid Xi Junjie's seduction range, lifted her white and tender feet and kicked Xi Junjie out Take the bed: "Be healthy in the morning."

Xi Junjie chuckled lightly, rubbed Zhen Zhen's hair dotingly, with a bit of abusive tone in his tone: "Okay, listen to my daughter-in-law, let's do unhealthy things at night."

Under Zhen Zhen's red-faced glares, Xi Junjie laughed loudly and went to the tea table and poured a cup of warm water for Zhen Zhen, turned around and took out clean underwear from the closet, put it on, and threw it away last night All the clothes were thrown into the washing machine.

Rinse and clean, Zhen Zhen opened the curtains and opened the windows, the warm sunlight and fresh air squeezed out the stagnant air from the night. Pushing open the door, Zhen Zhen quickly jumped into the yard, turned around and waved to Xi Junjie playfully: "Let's see who runs to the dining room first."

"Whoever loses will be down at night." Xi Junjie shouted, and quickly chased after Zhen Zhen, Zhen Zhen smiled and slapped Xi Junjie twice: "I'm going to die, why are you so loud? Dead!"

Xi Junjie smiled while hiding: "You are rude, are you worried that I will run first?"

Zhen Zhen laughed and jumped on Xi Junjie's back: "I'll let you see how Shao Lai won." He stretched his legs and kicked Xi Junjie's butt, Zhen Zhen laughed loudly: "Run!"

The young couple giggled and laughed and ran to the door of the dining room before they stopped. Xi Junjie put Zhen Zhen down from his back and pushed open the door of the dining room. The Xi family's breakfast has never been eaten together. There are early risers and late risers. Generally, no one waits for anyone. Sister Yang, who was in charge of cooking, saw the two of them coming, and hurriedly put the ravioli with shrimp and crab roe and fresh meat into the pot. When the ravioli was served, the fresh and tender crab roe soup buns were also steamed.

Zhen Zhen bit off the thin skin of the steamed bun, carefully sucking out the tongue-scalding soup while blowing, then carefully poured a little vinegar into the damaged skin, and bit into the leather One bite, the gravy and crab meat are intertwined, fresh but not greasy, full of crab fragrance.

After only a few bites, one of the crab roe soup buns went into the stomach. Zhen Zhen didn't rush to pick up the second one, but took a sip of the wonton soup with a spoon. This wonton soup is cooked by Mrs. Yang with old hens raised in the countryside. It is fresh and clear. Eat another wonton, which is stuffed with crab yellow, shrimp and pork. Just add a little salt, and the wontons are delicious enough. .

Even after eating two wontons, Zhen Zhen carefully mentioned a crystal clear crab roe soup wrapped in a bowl, and once again absorbed the soup from the steamed buns, Zhen Zhen was so satisfied that she almost cried: "I like this one the most. It's a season when you can eat crabs every day, and you can't get enough of it."

Sister Yang brought another basket of fresh crab roe soup dumplings, and said with a smile, "It's a blessing to be able to eat, young people as big as you should eat more. I ate three cages of steamed buns."

Zhen Zhen laughed as soon as she heard it: "Why did my brother come here so early for a meal, he is the master who can sleep until noon."

Sister Yang thought for a while, and then stumblingly said, "Sister Ling asked him to paint what building, and said it would be three stories high?" Seeing that Xi Junjie likes to eat the cold seaweed on the table, Mrs. Yang added another one. Pan continued: "Listen to what Sister Ling wants to do for business, and let him draw a picture."

Zhen Zhen turned her head and smiled and said to Xi Junjie: "Our mother's action is really strong. I suddenly had an idea in the middle of the night last night, and this morning I called Ming Bei."

Eating three buns in a row, and stuffing a big bowl of wontons into her stomach, Zhen Zhen rubbed her stomach with satisfaction: "I'm going to Mom's house to see the house designed by Ming Bei, you're busy after dinner. It's yours, don't follow me." Xi Junjie nodded: "I'll go to grandma's place after dinner to see if I can help, just call me if you have anything."

When Zhen Zhen came to the main room, Ming Bei was already drawing the design. The architecture major of NUS is well-known all over the country. Although Ming Bei's grades are not among the best in the class, he is quite spiritual in the field of architectural design. The design assignments in his junior year were also taught in the classroom as excellent works. After commenting, several professors praised his design ideas. Now Mingbei is working in the Imperial Architectural Design Institute. Although he has only been working for a few months, he has already started to participate in the design and construction of a large-scale public building with the designers in the design institute.

It is not difficult to convert the shop into a commercial three-storey building. Zhen Zhen’s shops are connected in a row. In that row, all these houses were bought by Zhen Zhen, so all Pushing to the heavy cover does not affect the use of other houses. Ling Xiulan was thinking about the design of the beauty shop in her head that night. She didn't take a nap until three or four in the morning. She called Mingbei in high spirits at six o'clock and asked him to come over and draw a design for herself. picture.

Mingbei has its own unique concept of design, while Ling Xiulan has been doing beauty care for more than ten years, and has long had a clear and clear idea for the layout of the beauty store. When Zhen Zhen came in, the two had already determined the general design idea of ​​the beauty salon.

Looking at the faint dark circles under Ling Xiulan's eyes, Zhen Zhen felt a little embarrassed: "Mom, look at you, this beauty salon hasn't opened yet, so you'll end up like this. Did you sleep too late last night? If you keep doing this my dad should blame me."

Ling Xiulan smiled and rubbed her eyes: "Actually, I was lying on the bed when you left last night, but I couldn't sleep at all." Holding Zhen Zhen's hand, Ling Xiulan was still a little excited: "Before When I was in France, I thought that I would have a beauty salon as well. This dream has not been realized in France, but I didn’t expect to have the opportunity to become a reality now. You can say that I can’t be excited.”

Zhen Zhen held Ling Xiulan's shoulders and kneaded her shoulders: "Then you can't stay up late, we agreed that you can't stay up late, business is secondary, and your body is important. After dinner, you can take a nap and leave it to me if you have anything."

Ming Bei was drawing a sketch on the paper, and when he heard this, he raised his head and smiled and said, "It will take a few days for me to produce the drawing here, but this house is not something we can build if we want. Auntie has to go to the relevant department earlier. It will be done after filing and approval.”

Ling Xiulan nodded: "I know, I will go through the formalities on Monday, so you can rest assured to draw. After the formalities are approved, I will ask your unit to design and build, and you will be in charge."

Mingbei stood up excitedly when he heard the words, his face flushed red. As a newcomer, normally he would have to study with the architect of his unit for two or three years before he could take on the project independently, like they are now It's a mess at most.

"But I don't have any work experience yet." Although he was hit by a pie that fell from the sky, Mingbei still knew the gap between himself and a real architect: "I am still in the learning stage, and I am still in the construction stage. The team is not very familiar, and if I were to be in charge, I would probably delay the construction progress.”

"That's why I let you take it." Ling Xiulan smiled: "What you learn from other people's errands is only superficial. No matter how long you learn it, it's better to do it yourself. Only when you are fully responsible for a project will you know what you are doing. How to coordinate and contact the unseen places can also let you know most intuitively what to do to be a qualified designer.”

Zhen Zhen knew that this was a growth opportunity that Ling Xiulan gave Mingbei. Although the beauty shop is very small compared to other buildings, its special geographical location and the particularity of the beauty shop are still very important for a new designer. challenging. If Mingbei can successfully complete this project, he will become a qualified architect faster than his classmates who graduated in the same year.

Seeing Ling Xiulan trusting herself so much, Mingbei clenched his fists, his lips trembling with excitement: "Thank you auntie for giving me this opportunity, I will work hard!"

Zhen Zhen also smiled when she saw this, but she didn't forget to pour some cold water on Ming Bei: "Although it is said that I will give you this project now, there are uncontrollable factors in everything, so don't be stupid first. If you want to speak out, you won’t get the project when you look back, and be careful that others laugh at you.”

"I know." Mingbei laughed twice, picked up his sketches and the paper full of words and stood up: "Aunt Ling, I'll go back to draw first, you know my phone number, Feel free to call me if you think of any requests."

"It's already noon, let's eat here." Ling Xiulan glanced at her watch: "I have to invite you to have a meal early in the morning, no matter what."

"I ate it in the morning." Mingbei said with a smile: "The crab yellow soup dumplings and the shrimp and crab meat ravioli are very fragrant. I ate the portion for two people by myself."

Ling Xiulan smiled: "I don't have many things for breakfast. At noon, I will ask Mrs. Yang to cook something delicious for you. I remember that Mingbei likes to eat roast duck and meat, right? I ask the kitchen to cook more meat dishes at noon, so that You can eat enough." Seeing Ming Bei's embarrassment and yet to refuse, Ling Xiulan said, "It's all your own family, why are you polite, I'll call your nurse and your parents too, usually when Zhen Zhen and the others go to work, we will Several of them also ate together."

Seeing this, Mingbei couldn't refuse any more, so he sat back with the blueprint: "Then I'll draw here first."

"Let's help auntie paint well, auntie's beauty salon will rely on you to design." Ling Xiulan smiled and brought the washed fruits on the coffee table and put them aside, and went to the kitchen to have lunch.

For his first design drawing, Mingbei can't wait to incorporate all his ideas, not only to be beautiful but also to highlight practical features. Seeing that Mingbei was concentrating on drawing sketches on the paper, and even Mrs. Li and the others didn't notice when they came over, Zhen Zhen couldn't help but said softly: "My fourth brother used to be the most outgoing, but it's been a few years since I became an educated youth. It's much more secure, don't talk about being so focused before, he can't even sit on the stool."

Old Mrs. Li waved her hand and took Wang Sufen and Zhen Zhen out of the house. They were afraid of affecting Ming Bei's work, so they went to the kitchen to help. When the two families were together, a large table of dishes was quickly packed out. Xi Junjie also bought a slice of roast duck from outside, and took the plate and served it on the table.

Holding up Zhen Zhen's self-brewed wine, Ling Xiulan smiled brightly: "Cheers, for the early opening of my beauty salon!"

****

A few days ago, it seemed that I could go out with a thin coat, but I felt a little cold when I put on a sweater in the blink of an eye. After an autumn rain, the former People's Garment Factory was officially renamed Yimei Garment Factory, and Wang Xinzhi was in charge of the factory's business. After going through the factory change procedures and hanging up the new brand by himself, Wang Xinzhi walked into the factory director's office and started busy work, until it got dark, Wang Xinzhi glanced at the watch on the wall and guessed that Zhen Zhen had already left work Immediately called her home.

Listening to the crisp greeting over there, Wang Xinzhi flashed for a moment, and soon he returned to normal, with a business-like tone: "Boss, the formalities of the garment factory have been completed, and the new brand has also been completed. Hang it up, I have arranged to purchase this year's new cotton in the afternoon, and as soon as the cotton arrives, we will be able to produce military coats."

“How did the original management staff arrange it?” Zhen Zhen on the other side of the microphone first asked a topic she cared about.

Zhen Zhen and Wang Xinzhi once discussed the issue of the former factory director Si Yaren's departure. Get out of this nonsense again.

Although Wang Xinzhi has never experienced the incident at the furniture factory, he has heard Sun Rende talk about it. But he has cooperated with Si Yaren several times, and his impression of Si Yaren is still very good, so when Zhen Zhen asked this question, he immediately said a few good words for Si Yaren: "Si Yaren is a person who is He has average management skills and is not very keen on the market, but he is a very practical person. The previous few times our orders were very urgent. I have been to the factory a few times and I have seen him basically relying on the workshop and workers. They eat and work together, they have tenacity, and they have strict requirements on the quality of clothing, and the workers are very convinced of him. My idea is to let him be the deputy director in charge of production. Can have more energy to do other things."

Zhen Zhen still believes in Wang Xinzhi's way of looking at people: "Then do as you said, and there are other management personnel who are suitable to stay. Those who have such crooked thoughts would rather pay more compensation. Jin also let him go, we don't have the energy to intrigue with them."

Wang Xinzhi smiled: "Don't worry, by the way, I'm thinking about holding the first general staff meeting after the restructuring of the garment factory in the past few days. Would you like to speak a few words on the stage? After all, this factory is your asset. ."

Zhen Zhen doesn't have much interest in speaking in public: "Now you are the head of the factory, the employees just need to know you. It's not necessary for me to talk about it or not."

"The director of the factory has always wanted to meet you." Wang Xinzhi asked for instructions: "I kept talking about my boss when I talked to him, so he was very curious about the big boss behind the scenes. After all, a bankrupt furniture factory can be It can be called a legend in the business world to come back to life and become a first-class enterprise in the country in just two or three years.”

Zhen Zhen said with a smile: "You and Director Sun have contributed greatly to the furniture factory's ability to achieve today's situation. But Si Yaren doesn't want to see me. , why don't you make an appointment at noon on Sunday, I'll invite you to dinner at the Imperial Hotel."

"The boss is very generous." Wang Xinzhi smiled: "I took Si Yaren to the appointment on time at noon on Sunday."

"You should also look for designers as soon as possible to see if there are young people with design talents in the factory. If not, see if you can recruit a few through some channels. Also, prepare yourself. Next month, I will let You and the furniture factory each choose a few design talents to visit and study in some European countries, one is to gain some knowledge, and the other is to let them open up old-fashioned ideas and have more inspiration to create our own international style.”

Wang Xinzhi was very excited to hear that Zhen Zhen wanted to take people to study abroad: "I know, I will definitely find a designer as soon as possible."

In terms of design, both factories are relatively weak. There are two brands of furniture factories. Feihuang Brand is using high-end solid wood furniture, which is basically based on traditional and classical styles, because the current customer base who chooses solid wood furniture is originally a little old. Older and more powerful people who like the ancient fragrance and ancient charm, they prefer the classical style, so the sales performance of Feihuang brand furniture has been growing steadily; relatively speaking, Tengda brand furniture is more inclined to the general public. The married couple can also afford it, and the pursuit is fashionable and practical. The furniture styles that opened up the sales of Tengda in the early stage and established the brand's reputation were all designed by Zhen Zhen, and the mattresses were made by Zhen Zhen who drew various detailed drawings and stared at them. But after all, Zhen Zhen has too many other things to be busy with, so she can't focus on the furniture factory. The new styles of furniture that Tengda has produced in the past two years are all her own designs. Although it can be called practical, In Zhen Zhen's eyes, there is still some distance from the word "beauty". At the same time, there is no new change in mattresses. Although mattresses are still monopolized by Tengda Furniture Factory, Zhen Zhen knows that there will be more and more types of mattresses in the future, and Tengda mattresses must make people sleep on this basis To be more comfortable and healthy, and gradually improve to keep more customers. Nowadays, Tengda's furniture is already leading the trend in China. If you want to improve and learn, going abroad is the best choice.

In the blink of an eye, on Sunday, Zhen Zhen and Ling Xiulan went to the store on East Chang'an Avenue early in the morning. The original clothing store had been moved to West Chang'an Avenue, and Ming Bei was leading people to demolish the original dilapidated house. For the sake of safety, to avoid pedestrians being too close to being hit by falling bricks, the construction area was blocked with baffles. Looking at the bald and broken board, Zhen Zhen suddenly remembered the propaganda methods of later generations, and she had an idea: "Mom, do you think we should advertise our beauty salon on this upper deck first?"

Ling Xiulan looked at Zhen Zhen and asked, "Are you going to put a poster on it? I just don't know if there is any place to print a poster that meets our requirements."

Zhen Zhen smiled: "I don't need anyone else, I can draw it myself." Thinking about the next week's work assignments she received yesterday, Zhen Zhen has a plan in her heart: "I will work overtime at night next week and try to finish it on Wednesday. All the work, the remaining few days are enough for me to come here to paint." Ling Xiulan has a deep understanding of Zhen Zhen's versatility, and the effect of painting by Zhen Zhen is naturally better than printing.

After seeing the construction progress, the two separated. Zhen Zhen vacated a storefront not far from the construction site for Ling Xiulan as a temporary office. Now Ling Xiulan has recruited 20 young, beautiful and smart girls. Now that she is still a few months away from her career, Ling Xiulan invites friends from abroad to send back many books on beauty. She reads French While training these girls in the original text, I also took this opportunity to observe the behavior of each girl in order to select people who can focus on training in the future.

Zhen Zhen came to the Imperial Hotel by herself, seeing that it was still early, Zhen Zhen chose a seat by the window and sat down, asked the waiter to order food, and took out a book from her schoolbag Look.

Time passed by one minute and one second, and ten minutes before the appointed time, Wang Xinzhi and Si Yaren walked into the Imperial Hotel one after another. It was not yet lunch time, and there were not many guests in the hall. Wang Xinzhi knew that Zhen Zhen likes to sit by the window, and as soon as he looked up, he saw Zhen Zhen looking down and reading a book.

Wang Xinzhi stared at Zhen Zhen's reading expression, with a smile on his face involuntarily, Si Yaren followed Wang Xinzhi's line of sight, just looking at Zhen Zhen who just looked up.

Seeing this noble man who had solved the dilemma of not being able to pay his salary, Si Yaren warmly stretched out his hand and walked towards Zhen Zhen: "Oh, reporter Li, what a coincidence, why are you here? This?" Without waiting for Zhen Zhen to answer, Si Yaren laughed again: "Look at what I asked, you must be waiting for someone here. I didn't say thank you in person for your help last time, thank you You introduced me to a business, which made the workers in our factory paid. By the way, you must know our factory director Wang, and the business I cooperated with factory director Wang was the bridge you built. " Si Yaren stretched out his hand and dragged Wang Xinzhi behind him, and said with a smile on his face: "You said it was a coincidence, I used to be partners with Factory Manager Wang, but now we are a family. You know, right? Director Wang is now the director of our garment factory."

Zhen Zhen listened to Si Yaren's crackling and stretched out her hand with a smile: "Director Wang and Director Si, please take a seat."

Si Yaren waved his hand hurriedly: "Unfortunately today, Director Wang wants to take me to see the investment boss of our factory. Our boss is expected to be there soon. In this case, leave me a phone call and I will invite you to dinner later. ."

Zhen Zhen smiled and said: "No need, I'll treat you to dinner today."

"It's really going to happen." Si Yaren waved his hands to push him away before he could figure out the situation.

Wang Xinzhi shook his head with a smile, and finally added: "Director of the factory, she is the investor of our factory, Li Mingzhen."

Si Yaren's words were blocked, he opened his mouth wide, pointed to Li Mingzhen and then pointed to Wang Xinzhi, and asked in disbelief: "Our factory, she bought it?"

Wang Xinzhi nodded: "Yes!"

The broken string in Si Yaren's mind finally reconnected: "Doesn't that mean that Tengda Furniture Factory is also owned by Reporter Li?"

Wang Xinzhi smiled again: "Yes, the furniture factory is also invested by Ming Zhen, and she personally designed the best-selling Tengda mattress today."

Si Yaren's mind was blank, looking at Li Mingzhen's faint smile, he couldn't help but think of the scene when she interviewed herself, and suddenly a thoughtless question blurted out: "The units you interviewed at the time now have you bought a few already?"
