Siheyuan: Pushing Huairu, the Prime Minister admits defeat

"Hurry up and get up. You look sleepy and have no energy. Wash your face and rinse your mouth quickly. Don't forget to shave your beard. Get dressed. Let's go to the guesthouse to have breakfast and then take the bus to see my dad. Otherwise, if we go too late and he's busy with work and can't come, it will probably take a long time."

Jiang Xifeng urged Li Weijun to get dressed and get up as soon as possible. She applied tooth powder on the toothbrush that had been prepared long ago, and considerately prepared warm water and cotton towels.

Wrap the razor and soap with a hot towel and iron them. Apply some on the chin and rub it lightly. The foam will spread quickly and evenly.

After shaving his beard, Jiang Xifeng took out a small bottle of spray and carefully sprayed it on his face. Then he asked nervously, "How is it? Does it hurt?"

Li Weijun was somewhat flattered by this pretentiousness. He thought to himself that she was indeed the daughter of a wealthy family, as she had managed to turn a rough man like him into a sissy.

After cleansing his face, Li Weijun took a look at himself in the mirror, with his sharp features, thick eyebrows, big eyes and a righteous look, and said with satisfaction.

"Xifeng, what should I do if I see your father and he favors me and promotes me to stay by his side? Let me make it clear that I will not go back to the capital with you when the time comes."

Jiang Xifeng rolled her eyes at this, and after she stepped forward to help Li Weijun straighten his collar, she said nonchalantly, "My father is not that kind of person. Besides, you are now acting as a witness. When you get there, just tell me all the shit that Li Huaide has done in the Asian Steel Plant over the years. Don't make yourself too dramatic, or my father will be disgusted."

"Your father is disgusted? Ha, it's as if I am reluctant to visit your house. Please, I came to the Shanghai Film Studio with a letter of introduction to observe and learn. It's not good. They are serving me comfortably. Why should I suffer the humiliation in your house?"

Although he said this, Li Weijun was actually quite honest.

Putting aside other things, just the respected status of Father Jiang, who among those who want to make progress would not have to look up to him?

In comparison, those things in the steel mill are just trivial and not worth mentioning.

After making a rough draft in their minds, Li Weijun and Jiang Xifeng went to the guesthouse to have their meal.

Afterwards, Jiang Xifeng took her preferential certificate and found a middle-aged man dressed as a cadre at the front desk, and chatted with him briefly.

The man then politely called a comrade who looked like a driver, and soon a Beetle car arrived.

Li Weijun was amazed to see that this thin piece of preferential card had such amazing power.

After all, people are divided into different classes, and things are divided into high and low levels. There is a clear difference between being a president and carrying manure.

Life is like this, most people have a rough and difficult journey, but there are also many who have a smooth journey.

The area where the Jiang family lives is the core commercial district of Shanghai. There are many shops along the way, including Friendship Stores, Trust Stores, department stores, supply and marketing cooperatives, restaurants and markets, which are very bustling.

Li Weijun even caught a glimpse of the city's light rail, with people passing by with bright smiles on their faces and their steps moving back and forth briskly.

After all, it is a ten-mile ocean beach, Shanghai, known as the Little Paris of the East. It has traditional wooden buildings as well as clock towers and spires, and various cultural and architectural features of the East and the West are mixed here.

If Jiang Xifeng hadn't been staring at him, Li Weijun would have thought of going to the Friendship Store to look for some new and fashionable things.

Although private transactions were prohibited and unified purchase and sales were implemented in those years, people were still allowed to enter and exit places like department stores, Friendship Stores, and Trust Stores.

Especially Friendship Stores and Trust Stores. As the name suggests, Friendship Stores generally display goods from embassies of countries with which countries have established diplomatic relations.

Like the black bread, vodka, kvass, and bragi skirts from the northern country of Rakshasa, in short, these are some rare and precious things that are rarely seen in China.

The items in the trust store are mostly antiques and collectibles, including paintings and calligraphy by literati and celebrities, pictures of running horses, shrimps, and some excavated burial objects.

Although the most ideal destination for these things should be museums, they can't stand the temporary difficulties. For example, some bronze wares, blue and white porcelain, and handicrafts from past dynasties can also bring in a lot of foreign exchange if they are sold overseas...

Of course, just like the general's Maybach, these are collectively agreed upon by the masses, and are everyone's property. After the money is exchanged, it will be used by everyone. The government only has the right to use it 24 hours a day...

"Sister Xifeng, I was thinking, you haven't been back to your parents' home for a long time, and it would be a bit awkward to go back empty-handed. How about we go shopping and pick out a gift for your father and mother?"

Li Weijun is an antique lover, and some of the things he wants can only be found in the Friendship Store.

For example, the fan, refrigerator and other things that I have been thinking about.

It's really itchy to watch from a distance.

After coughing, he began to instigate and encourage Jiang Xifeng.

At first Jiang Xifeng was afraid of complications and was about to refuse, but when she saw Li Weijun's attentive look, she thought it would be wrong to go back to her parents' home without bringing some gifts.

After hesitating for a moment, he said yes and asked the driver to stop next to the nearest Friendship Store.

This Friendship Store covers a large area and is a single-family building. Many trucks painted in military green are parked in front of the door. Through the transparent glass, Li Weijun caught a glimpse of many blond and blue-eyed faces.

At first, Li Weijun thought it was the big brother from the northern Rakshasa country, but after seeing the bold attire of the people in the store, he remembered that many of the things sold there should be produced by Gallic roosters.

The woman wore slender high heels, glass stockings, flaming red lips, and spoke with a lisp.

Even though Li Weijun knew very little about French, he could still tell it based on these external features.

Come to think of it, the Gallic rooster has a distant relationship with the government and is not as bad as imagined.

The first country to establish diplomatic relations with the government was the Gallic Rooster. In addition, in the 60s, the relationship between the government and the Russian Kingdom had deteriorated to the point of freezing, so it was normal for there to be Gallic Rooster stores in Shanghai.

Looking at the waiter walking towards the store, Li Weijun suddenly realized that he seemed to have no relevant procedures yet.

There was a bitter feeling on my lips, and I was just about to think about how to explain it.

But he saw the Gallic waitress hugged Jiang Xifeng very enthusiastically, and then kissed her passionately without waiting for Jiang Xifeng's reaction.

While kissing her, she kept saying, "Dear Jiang, I finally see you again. I missed you so much after not seeing you for a while. I specially asked someone to bring this expensive perfume from China. It's a new model with a new secret recipe and newly blended."
