Back To The Age Of The '80s

"The Shenzhen market is in front of you. Li, do you have a kind of..." David scratched his hair in distress, "How do you say the old saying in Huaguo, the closer you are to your hometown, the more joy and excitement you have! What a beautiful emotion ah!"

Li Zheng gave him a funny look, "It's timidity near the hometown, which means the closer you are to your hometown, the more timid you are, lacking courage, and fearing that something unfortunate will happen to your hometown."

"Oh, the person who said that must be a pessimist." David frowned dissatisfied.

Liang Zhe, who had just come out of the boat, happened to see the scene of the two "talking happily", and the air pressure around him suddenly dropped, and he showed a struggling look.

Liang Zhe didn't like water. When his parents had an accident when he was a child, those search and rescue personnel pointed to a vast sea and told him that his parents fell into it and could never be found again.

More than ten years later, he himself almost lost his life in the sea.So Liang Zhe had both a physical and a psychological dislike for the sparkling water.

Seeing David put his hand on Li Zheng's shoulder, Liang Zhe's lips were tightly pressed into a straight line, and he walked quickly to the deck under the astonished eyes of his subordinates.

David was talking vigorously when he felt his body was moved to the side, and he turned his head with a dissatisfied expression.Mr. Liang squeezed between him and Li Zheng abruptly, looking at him coldly.

David touched the back of his neck subconsciously, and then showed a puzzled expression, "Dear Mr. Liang, what can I do for you?"

David, who is the executive vice president of Roche Asia, has a respectful and polite attitude towards this local snake in Xiangjiang. Liang's status in Xiangjiang is like that of Spencer and Howard in the UK.For this kind of old family with a deep foundation, wage earners like them must not be offended.

Liang Zhe let out a cold snort in his nasal cavity, glanced at David with disdain, and then slowly turned away.

When his eyes fell on the sea outside the railing, his face turned pale for a moment.

David couldn't figure it out, when did he offend this honorable gentleman?The little gentleman looked at him, as if... as if, a bird of prey competed with its own kind for a mate in the zoo, that's right, that's how it felt!

spouse?He couldn't help but shift his gaze to Li Zheng.

David was taken aback by his own whimsy, and shook his golden head vigorously. He must have worked so hard to deal with documents these days that such an absurd illusion appeared.

Li Zheng keenly felt the tension on Liang Zhe's body. He glanced at Liang Zhe's left hand with blue veins exposed while holding the railing, and his slightly pale complexion. He stood up slightly, raised his right hand, and blocked it. Before Liang Zhe's eyes.

"Don't look," he said softly.

Liang Zhe felt the warm touch from his eyes in contact with Li Zheng's palm, and his tightly pursed lips relaxed for a moment. He put his hand on Li Zheng's and didn't move for a long time.

Surprised by Liang Zhe's actions, Li Zheng opened his mouth slightly.No matter how slow his reaction was, no matter how low his EQ was, he felt that something was wrong. He moved his palm uneasily, but the hand covering the back of his hand pressed even tighter.

Liang Zhe, whose eyes were covered by his palm, couldn't see Li Zheng's expression now, he just subconsciously didn't want to move, and he did it just thinking about it in his heart.

As time passed, Li Zheng's expression changed from surprise to embarrassment, and then slowly, his cheeks began to turn red, and then his neck.

Li Zheng could only feel the blood in his whole body rushing to his head, and his usual clear head suddenly became chaotic, like a machine whose motor was overused, it was so hot that it seemed to break down at any time.

He took a deep breath, and the icy sea breeze rushed straight into his brain along his nasal cavity. He pulled off his palm forcefully, then turned around to face the sea calmly, and said something in his mouth, "It's just a short In just a few months, the Shenzhen market has changed a lot.”

David blinked his blue eyes, looked at Mr. Liang who was disappointed and aggrieved, and then at Li Zheng who was looking into the distance as if he was pointing the country seriously.

He always felt that there seemed to be something wrong?

But obviously, David's IQ and EQ were not enough for him to understand what happened between his good friend Li Zheng and this distinguished Mr. Liang in just a few minutes.

He covered the glare of the sun with his hands, and looked out in the direction Li Zheng pointed.

"A big change? Li, why didn't I notice it?"

Li Zheng froze, glanced at David with a puzzled face from the corner of his eye, and Liang Zhe who was staring at him, coughed dryly, "Look at the sky over there."

"That's the direction of the urban area of ​​Shenzhen City. I remember that when I left, Shenzhen City didn't have so many long chimneys emitting black smoke." This is the truth. When Li Zheng left, there were obviously not so many long chimneys. .

David couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Yes, such a nostalgic sight. The first industrial revolution! The great transformation of Britain from a European power to a world-class empire on which the sun never sets. I have seen London at that time in my textbooks. Huge factories, long chimneys, London shrouded in black smog. Oh! This is what Shenzhen looks like now!"

David said excitedly.

"Li, I'm very excited. Do you know? I have a hunch that I seem to be witnessing a great piece of history! Huaguo is waking up, this great country in ancient history is slowly waking up! Oh, I'm so excited. I gotta make a note, I'm going to get my camera!"

David clutched his chest, danced and danced incoherently. He trotted towards the center of the ship under the astonished eyes of the passengers beside him, presumably going back to the room to get the camera.

Li Zheng was also taken aback by David's reaction. He said it casually, but he didn't expect to make David express such emotion. Thinking about what David said just now, Li Zheng's expression became solemn. .

He glanced at Liang Zhe, who was still secretly looking at him, and suddenly became in a good mood.

Li Zheng said, "David is right, I am very lucky."

"What?" Liang Zhe looked at him.

Li Zheng's eyes smiled gently, he patted Liang Zhe's arm, "Don't look down, look forward, that piece of land is my motherland, it is undergoing a great transformation, I am very lucky and honored To see and experience this glorious history."

The sun shone on Li Zheng's body, making his whole body seem to be covered with a dazzling halo, and even the strands of his hair would glow.

Liang Zhe remained silent for a long time, he looked at the huge piece of land not far away.

It is much bigger than Xiangjiang.Standing on the deck, Liang Zhe could see the chimneys rising straight into the sky, emitting annoying black smoke.It's not a pleasing sight.

But for some reason, Liang Zhe had an indescribable feeling for this land that he had never set foot on.

Warm and heavy.

"Well, I'm lucky too." He said suddenly.

Li Zheng looked up at him in surprise, and what caught his eyes was a pair of smiling eyes.

It turns out... Liang Zhe's eyes can also smile.

"Oh, come, come, here I come! Fortunately, when I went back to Japan last time, I bought the latest camera. What a wise decision." David ran over with a huge camera in his arms.

"Li, help me set up the camera stand!"

Li Zheng...

During the day, the ship drove very fast, and after about half an hour, Li Zheng and others had already seen the port of Huaguo.

Different from the scenes of bustling tourists coming to Hong Kong flooding the port in later generations, Shenzhen City and Hong Kong in [-] seemed a bit deserted because of the unclear political situation in Hong Kong and the mainland.

When the ship was about to dock, there was a heavy whistling sound.A man who looked like a soldier trotted over at the port, holding a red flag to direct the time and direction of the ship's docking.

Qiu Zhengye, the vice governor of Haidong Province, and the leaders of the Shennan region have been sitting in the port office for a long time. Hearing the sound of the ship, Qiu Zhengye paused while drinking tea. The tea bowl was placed heavily on the on the table.

"Is it this ship?" he asked calmly.

The port official looked at the watch on his wrist and nodded repeatedly, "It should be right, there are only a few trips between Xiangjiang and Shennan, and this one arrived half an hour early!"

When Qiu Zhengye heard the words, he stood up abruptly, and the rest of the provincial and regional officials in the room, big and small, also stood up. The scene where more than 20 people stood up at the same time was very impressive.

"Well, let's go out then." With that said, he took the lead and walked towards the door.

The leader of the Shennan region walked behind. When he passed by the port officials, he turned his head slightly to the port officials and said: "Let the people below be gentle and diligent, and let foreign friends feel the warmth of spring." !"

When the port officials heard the words, they immediately stood up straight, "Resolutely implement the leadership's instructions!"

Under the command of the soldiers, the boat slowly docked, the chains were slowly lowered, and one side of the huge iron plate fell heavily on the shore.

Passengers in twos and threes on the boat walked along the iron plank to the shore one after another.In [-], those who were able to commute between Xiangjiang and the mainland were not simple people.

They were well dressed and looked arrogant. When they saw a group of people headed by Qiu Zhengye, some passengers couldn't help being stunned. They obviously recognized Qiu Zhengye and others.

"Governor Qiu?" A middle-aged man with a big belly walked up to Qiu Zhengye with a smile in Cantonese with a Xiangjiang accent.

He glanced at the familiar faces behind Qiu Zhengye, "Xu Shu. Ji is also there, who are you?"

Before Qiu Zhengye became the vice-governor in charge of health in Haidong Province, he was in charge of attracting investment in the Shennan region.This middle-aged man with a big belly was exactly what he met at that time.

A Xiangjiang businessman with poor moral character.
