Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 1634 Expand your network
As the night passed, the sky became gloomy, and even the sun seemed to be wrapped in a gray scarf, looking bloated.

In the courtyard, after Yang Xiaotao and Ran Qiuye got up, they began to make careful preparations.

The jeans on the lower body, the Zhongshan suit on the upper body and the black leather shoes look a bit out of place, but this outfit can be considered a fashionable outfit nowadays.

Especially those jet black jeans, not everyone can wear them.

Even though Yang Xiaotao was used to wearing it in his previous life, he still felt novel when he put it on again in this life.

Looking back at Ran Qiuye who was putting on her coat, Yang Xiaotao showed an aesthetic look.

A pair of black leather shoes and grey jeans tightly wrap the two long legs, making them straighter and longer.

Then a straight curve is outlined and fastened with a light blue belt.

Of course, Yang Xiaotao felt that it made no difference whether he had this belt or not.

The top was a light pink turtleneck sweater, and as he put on a grey coat, it covered the size that Yang Xiaotao was familiar with, which made Yang Xiaotao look away.

Ran Qiuye, who was standing by, had already noticed Yang Xiaotao's stupid look.

And this expression comes from confidence in one's body.

Since I married Yang Xiaotao, perhaps because I eat better, have less pressure in life, and my mental state is better.

Her body seemed to have undergone a new development. Not only was her skin smooth and delicate, but it was even better than Qin Huairu and Lou Xiaoe.

More importantly, she is still going strong after giving birth to three children.

Unlike a certain woman, she is now showing signs of collapse.

This also made her more confident.

"I haven't seen enough yet!"

Ran Qiuye picked up the camera on the table and hung it around his neck. This time he was going to attend the wedding and also working as a part-time photographer.

Seeing Yang Xiaotao standing there staring at him, Ran Qiuye was filled with joy.

Then he looked at Yang Xiaotao, who had a tall and straight figure and a handsome face. If it weren't for the smile on his lips, he would definitely look like a gentleman.

But even so, there is a sense of cynicism.

Yang Xiaotao walked up to her, put his hand on Ran Qiuye's shoulder, and said seriously, "Wife, I'm suddenly a little worried!"

Ran Qiuye was surprised and looked up quickly, as if asking something.

But Yang Xiaotao said with a hint of emotion, "Where should we stand, the golden couple? Wouldn't we steal the limelight from the bride and groom?"

"What shall we do if we are not allowed to enter?"

puff...

Ran Qiuye suddenly laughed.

"How can you brag about yourself like that? Aren't you ashamed?"

Yang Xiaotao didn't care, "What I said is all true!"

"Come on, you're just feeling good about yourself."

"In the eyes of the newlyweds, the most beautiful and best is always each other!"

After saying that, Ran Qiuye walked out. It was getting late and he had to go pick up Duanwu!
Yang Xiaotao followed him out with a smile, and the two of them walked outside.

In the yard, Yang Xiaotao and Ran Qiuye attracted the attention of everyone in the yard as soon as they came out in their outfits.

Wang Dashan's family even laughed and joked, "The way you two are dressed, someone would think you're attending a wedding, but someone else would think you're the bride and groom!"

"Yes, that's right!"

"These jeans look so smart!"

The lady in the yard said nearby that the two looked like a bride and groom.

Especially, when the two of them stand together, they are a perfect match!
Everyone was laughing, and Ran Qiuye couldn't help blushing, especially when she was wearing jeans. Although they were covered by the coat, they were still somewhat avant-garde compared to her current loose outfit.

Yang Xiaotao didn't feel anything. He chatted and laughed with the people in the yard, then went out, got in the car and headed for Ran's house.

Just after Yang Xiaotao left, the door of Jia's house opened and Sha Zhu came out.

He finally understood why Jia Zhang always liked to lie on the window.

It’s true that here, most of the situations in the hospital can be seen clearly!

Thinking of the two people who just left, Sha Zhu couldn't help but touch his cheek.

Actually, he is only a little older than Yang Xiaotao, but why does it feel like they are of different generations?
Could it be about the clothes?

Not only that, seeing Ran Qiuye's appearance, Sha Zhu quietly turned around and glanced at Qin Huairu who was making the bed.

I feel emotional again!

Over the past few years, it has lost its former plumpness and juiciness, and it is no longer as juicy as it once was.

He even had to let his imagination run wild to arouse his interest.

Both of them are mothers of three children, so why is there such a big gap between them?

Thinking of the child, Sha Zhu lowered his head quickly, with a hint of gloom in his eyes.

On the other side, Yang Xiaotao and Ran Qiuye came to the slum. As soon as they entered the door, they saw Duanwu standing aside and letting Ran's mother dress up.

Ms. Cui next to him was also praising him and asking Duanwu not to move.

As for the two sisters, they were standing aside, each eating an egg, but they wanted to stay at home.

After all, the children are too young. Not to mention that they need someone to take care of them, it would easily become chaotic if there were too many of them.

When the two people walked in, Ms. Cui's eyes lit up when she saw them.

Especially when I saw Yang Xiaotao's face, I suddenly felt a sense of familiarity, as if I saw my own daughter.

Although this familiarity was a bit distant, and although she had never seen her little daughter's adult appearance, at this moment, what she saw and was familiar was her daughter's appearance.

"Mom, let's pick up the kids tonight!"

Ran Qiuye started talking when he saw that Duanwu had packed up.

Yang Xiaotao was holding his two daughters, and the mistress kept rubbing the egg yolk in her mouth against Yang Xiaotao, causing Ms. Cui to quickly stop her.

Yang Xiaotao didn't mind and walked around the house holding his daughter.

"Don't get your clothes dirty, you have to go to the wedding later."

Ms. Cui wiped her eyes imperceptibly and stepped forward to hold the child.

Yang Xiaotao smiled and said, "You two stay at home and be good to your aunt and uncle. Dad will bring you some candy when he comes back!"

The two smart kids nodded immediately after hearing this, and the mistress even licked her lips.

On weekdays, there were candies at home, but Ran Qiuye was very strict, so not only the two of them, but even on Dragon Boat Festival, they rarely got to eat candies.

That is, they would come to grandma's house or go back to Yangjiazhuang, so that the three brothers and sisters could have some candy. Normally, they couldn't even find it. When he heard that his two sisters would have candy if they stayed at home, Duanwu immediately quit and ran over to hold Yang Xiaotao's hand, "Dad, I won't go either. I'll wait at home."

Yang Xiaotao slapped him on the back of his head, "You are useless!"

After being beaten by his father, Duanwu ran to Ran Qiuye pitifully.

Compared with his two younger sisters, he is considered the oldest, but without his younger sisters, he would just be a child.

Ran Qiuye picked up Duanwu and comforted him for a long time.

"Mom. Let's go then!"

"Go ahead and take your time on the road."

Then the three of them left the Ran family and drove to West Garden.

This time, Tong Xiaolong's wedding was held here.

……

While Yang Xiaotao was taking Ran Qiuye to West Garden to attend the wedding, Comrade Lao Jin was busy building relationships with his old brothers in Shanghai.

The first one is Secretary Ning from the Shanghai Refrigerator Factory.

It was also he who took Yang Xiaotao to learn about the air-conditioning design factory.

This time he learned from Yang Xiaotao that the production of air conditioners would also be distributed to local areas to expand production capacity, so he thought about asking his old brothers for help.

In addition, I also want to expand Yang Xiaotao's network.

It took a while for the call to be connected. Although there were some messy noises, the conversation between the two people was still reliable.

"Old Jin, I heard that you went to Sijiu City to enjoy your life? Why did you think of me?"

"Are you coming back anyway?"

On the phone, Secretary Ning heard Comrade Lao Jin's voice and immediately started joking.

"Here, Lao Ning, I have something good to tell you, do you want to hear it?"

Lao Jin said happily, after all, he had fought for this from Yang Xiaotao!

"Good things? What good things can you have that you're still thinking about me?"

"This is really good news, a very important thing for your factory!"

Lao Jin smiled seriously.

"When you have good things to do, why don't you think of the car factory first?"

Hearing what Lao Ning said, Lao Jin was no longer anxious, "What you said, we have been hypocritical for many years, I just ask you if you want to hear it!"

When Secretary Ning heard this, he thought that something good really happened, so he stopped joking and asked seriously, "No, do you really have something good?"

"Of course. Let me tell you..."

After Lao Jin finished talking about the Red Star Machinery Factory, there was silence on the phone.

"Laoning, Laoning?"

"Ning Daizi, say something!"

"It won't be offline!"

Just as Lao Jin was about to hang up the phone, a loud shout suddenly came from the other end.

"Old Jin, did you sleep with the daughter of a landlord in your previous life? You are so lucky!"

"Any grandson you pick up has some skills, ah..."

"Why don't I have such good luck?"

Lao Jin moved the microphone further away, for fear that the sound inside would vibrate his ears.

However, when I heard the sour taste in the other person's mouth, I couldn't help but feel proud.

I'm just so lucky in this life!
So what!
"Okay, my Xiao Tao has already agreed to this, just tell me whether you want to do it or not!"

"I told you, it doesn't have to be you. If you don't want it, there are plenty of people waiting to be arranged."

"I…"

"Old Jin, this must be done!"

An anxious voice came from the microphone, and Lao Jin immediately smiled, "Okay, as long as you agree."

"When the time comes, you can apply to the higher-ups. Xiao Tao will help us at the Red Star Machinery Factory, so this will most likely be done!"

"Okay, Lao Jin, when you come back, I'll treat you to a drink, the best wine!"

"Let's do this for now. I'll go get someone to prepare. Don't worry, if this is done, everyone in the factory will be grateful. We'll be grateful to you, to Yang Xiaotao, and to the Red Star Machinery Factory..."

"OK OK!"

"Why do we have to be so distant with each other? This child should call you grandpa!"

Lao Jin smiled. He knew the character of these old brothers well.

This will also pave the way for Yang Xiaotao's future.

Yang Xiaotao is now in a high position, but he is still young.

Twenty or thirty years later, it may be possible to go further and enter the decision-making level.

By then, the competition will not only be about ability, but also about connections.

Master Yang has done everything he could.

Then his grandfather can't just sit around.

The connections I have made for most of my life have to be handed over to Yang Xiaotao so that they can play their greatest role!

As for other people, I guess they won’t need it!
"Okay, I still have to call Lao Meng."

"We'll talk about it later!"

Lao Jin said this and hung up the phone.

On the other end of the phone, Secretary Ning heard the last part of Old Meng and thought of the other party's factory. He immediately understood that the machinery factory's rice cooker would also be located in Shanghai.

I once again had a higher opinion of the capabilities of the Red Star Machinery Factory.

"Electric rice cookers, air conditioners, engines, tractors, machine tools, alloy research, and yes, alchemy~"

"What kind of monster is this machinery factory?"

He sighed in his heart, but his hands were not slow. He picked up the phone and dialed, "Xiao Xiao, notify Director Du and the others to hold a meeting immediately!"
