Accidentally born in the ’60s

In fact, staying up late is not a problem for Zhen Zhen, so after Xi Junjie carried Zhen Zhen back to the house, the two of them moved from the bathroom to the bedroom, and they fought vigorously for several rounds before falling asleep. Until ten o'clock the next morning, 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: "Dear, I want to drink water."

Zhen's ear rang: "But what if I still want to hug you?"

Noticing the numbness of 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, and raised her white and tender feet He kicked Xi Junjie out of the bed: "Be healthy in the early morning."

In 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 to put on, Throw the clothes that were thrown all over the floor last night into the washing machine.

Rinse and clean, open the curtains and open the windows, the warm sunshine and fresh air squeeze out the stagnant air of 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, What are you doing so loudly? It's embarrassing!"

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

Zhen Zhen smiled and jumped on Xi Junjie's back: "I'll show you how the scumbag wins." She stretched her legs and kicked Xi Junjie's butt, Zhen Zhen laughed loudly: " Run!"

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, Take a bite of the belt stuffing, the gravy and crab meat are intertwined, fresh but not greasy, full of crab fragrance.

After only a few mouthfuls, one of the crab roe soup buns went into her stomach. Zhen Zhen didn't rush to pick up the second one, instead she 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. .

Eating two wontons, Zhen Zhen carefully mentioned a crystal clear crab roe soup wrapped in a bowl, and once again absorbed the steamed bun soup, Zhen Zhen was so satisfied that she almost cried: "I like this season the most when I can eat crabs every day, and I can't get enough of it no matter what."

Sister Yang brought another basket of freshly made crab yellow soup buns and said with a smile: "It is a blessing to be able to eat, young people like you should eat more. Come here from the north and eat three cages of steamed buns."

Zhen Zhen laughed when she heard this: "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, then stumbled and said, "Sister Ling asked him to paint what building, and said it would be three stories high?" Seeing that Xi Junjie likes to eat cold sea vegetables on the table, Yang The sister-in-law filled another plate and 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 Mingbei."

After eating three buns in a row, and stuffing a large bowl of wontons into her stomach, Zhen Zhen rubbed her stomach with satisfaction: "I went to my mother's house to see the house designed by Mingbei, You don't have to follow me after dinner." Xi Junjie nodded: "I'll go to Grandma's place after dinner to see if there is anything I can help you with, just call me if you have something to do."

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.

down, so it's all pushed to the heavy cover and doesn't 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 his own unique concept of design, while Ling Xiulan has been doing beauty for more than ten years and has a clear idea for the layout of the beauty shop. The concepts were merged, and 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 Xiu's blue 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. Was it last night? Going to bed too late? My dad should blame me if you keep doing this."

Ling Xiulan smiled and rubbed her eyes: "Actually, I was in 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 "I used to think when I was in France that I would have a beauty salon too. This dream didn't come true in France. I didn't expect to have the opportunity to become a reality now. You said I can't be excited."

Zhen Zhen held Ling Xiulan's shoulders and kneaded her shoulders: "Then you can't stay up all night, let's say you can't stay up late, business is secondary, your body It's important. After lunch, you can take a nap and leave it to me if you have anything."

Mingbei drew 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 want to build, auntie still has to It is only after reporting to the relevant department for 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 the general manager. Responsible."

Mingbei stood up excitedly when he heard the words, his face flushed, as a newcomer, normally he would have to study with the architect of his unit for two or three years before he could independently accept Projects, like what they are doing now, are at most a chore.

"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 still During the study stage, I was not very familiar with the construction team, and if I were to be in charge, I would probably delay the construction progress.”

"That's why I let you pick it up." Ling Xiulan smiled: "What you learn from other people's miscellaneous things is only superficial, and it is better to do it yourself once you learn it for a long time. Only you have full responsibility for a project. , to know how to coordinate and contact those places that you can't see, and 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 location and the particularity of the beauty shop are very suitable for a newcomer to design It is still a challenge for teachers. 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 her fists, and her excited lips began to tremble: "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 now I say I will give you this project, but everything has uncontrollable factors, you don't First, talk it out stupidly, and then you don't get the project when you look back, 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, then I'll go back to draw first, my family's You also know the phone, if you think of any request, you can call me at any time."

"I ate it all 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 much for breakfast, I'll ask Mrs. Yang to cook something delicious for you at noon. I remember that Mingbei likes roast duck and meat, right? I'll make the kitchen more at noon. Make meat dishes and let you eat enough." Seeing Ming Bei's embarrassed yet to refuse, Ling Xiulan said, "It's all your own family, why are you being polite, I'll call your nurse and your parents too, usually Zhen Zhen We all ate together when they went to work."

Seeing this, Mingbei didn't want to refuse, so he took the drawing and sat back again: "Then I will draw here first."

Zhang Luo 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."

Mr. Li waved her hand and took Wang Sufen and Zhen Zhen out of the room. They were afraid of affecting Mingbei'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 the wine made by Zhen Zhen, Ling Xiulan smiled brightly: "Cheers, for the early opening of my beauty salon!"

****

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. , the new brand has also been hung up, and I have arranged to purchase this year's new cotton in the afternoon, and we can produce military coats as soon as the cotton arrives."

"How did the original management arrange it?" Zhen Zhen who was over the microphone first asked the topic she cared about.

Zhen Zhen and Wang Xinzhi discussed the issue of the departure of the former factory director Si Yaren. Zhen didn't want the garment factory to make this kind of nonsense again.

Although Wang Xinzhi has never experienced the incident in 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. You can have more energy to do other things.”

Zhen Zhen still believes in Wang Xinzhi's vision: "Then do as you said, and there are other management personnel who are suitable and stay. I'd rather pay some more compensation and 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, do you want to come on stage and say a few words, after all this The factory is your asset."

Zhen Zhen is not too interested in speaking in public: "Now you are the head of the factory, the employees just need to know you, I don't need to talk about it or not."

"The director of the company has always wanted to see 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. It is a legend in the business world that a bankrupt furniture factory has come back to life in just two or three years and has become a first-class enterprise in the country."

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 wants to see me. I don’t usually have time, why don’t you make an appointment at noon on Sunday, I’ll invite you to dinner and go to 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. In this month, I am going to let you and the furniture factory each select 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."

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

Qun is originally a little older and powerful people who like the ancient fragrance and ancient charm. They prefer the classical style. Therefore, the sales performance of Feihuang brand furniture has been growing steadily; relatively speaking, Tengda brand furniture is more inclined to the general public, and the furniture made of composite board material High quality and low price, the newly married couple can also afford it, 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 shop on East Chang'an Street early in the morning. The original clothing store has been moved to West Chang'an Street. Broken house demolished. 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 suddenly had an idea: "Mom, do you think we should advertise our beauty salon on this upper baffle 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 assignment that she received yesterday, Zhen Zhen has a plan in her heart: "I will add more in the evening next week. Work overtime and try to finish all the work on Wednesday, 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 as a temporary office for Ling Xiulan. 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 alone, 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 from her schoolbag Look out a book.

Time passed minute by minute, and ten minutes before the appointed time, Wang Xinzhi and Si Yaren entered 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, Si Yaren followed Wang Xinzhi's line of sight, just looking at Zhen Zhen who just looked up.

Seeing this noble man who once solved his 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?" Before Zhen Zhen could answer, Si Yaren laughed again: "Look at what I asked, you must be waiting for someone here. I haven't told you about your help last time. Thank you, thanks to the business you introduced to me, the workers in our factory were paid. By the way, you must know our factory director Wang. The business that I cooperated with factory director Wang was you. Bridge." Si Yaren stretched out his hand and dragged Wang Xinzhi behind him, and said with a smile: "You said it was a coincidence, I used to be partners with Factory Director Wang, and now we are a family. You also know that 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, please take a seat."

Si Yaren waved his hand quickly: "Unfortunately today, Director Wang wants to take me to see the investment boss of our factory. Our boss is expected to arrive soon. So you can leave me a call, I'll treat you to dinner later."

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

"It's really something." Si Yaren hadn't figured out the situation, so he waved his hands to push him away.

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

Si Yayi was blocked, he opened his mouth, pointed to Li Mingzhen and then pointed to Wang Xinzhi, and asked in disbelief: "Our factory, she bought it of?"

Wang Xinzhi nodded: "Yes!"

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

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, she 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 are now How many have you bought?"
