Back To The Age Of The '80s

The neat convoy slowly drove towards Qinghe Town. On both sides of the road were students from the town's central primary school. They wore red scarves around their necks, held flowers in their hands and shouted welcome words.

Different from the lively situation outside, the atmosphere in the old red flag leading the convoy seemed a little depressing.Over the past few days, they have accompanied Luo Shi to see five or six towns, but those foreigners shook their heads, and Qinghe Town was the last one.

If they are still dissatisfied, Roche's people will leave Huaguo and go to Vietnam and India to find factory sites. This result is what the province and the Ministry of Health don't want to see!

"Have you explained to the town leaders?" It was the vice-governor in charge of health in Haidong Province who spoke. The project province originally assigned the vice-governor in charge of economy, but due to the request of the Ministry of Health, it was temporarily changed to Of course, he had worked with him before. He wanted to pick peaches, but he didn't think that the peaches might be poisonous.

If he goes back empty-handed, he will become a joke of the entire province, party committee, and government!

"It's all explained clearly. The militia and the local police station are on duty 24 hours a day. Foreign friends must see a fishing town with good law and order and simple folk customs."

Li Zheng was pushed into the crowd by Li Chaoyang, just in time to see David getting out of the car, the group of tall, blond foreigners were particularly eye-catching in the group.

David smiled and said something, and the translator behind him quickly translated, "Mr. Andorio said, this is too grand, and he is very uncomfortable."

When the county leader heard this, his face froze. The secretary behind him had already understood the leader's look and made a few gestures. Within a few minutes, the pupils and the banners were gone.

Seeing David's expressionless face, Li Zheng felt amused in his heart, he knew that his old friend must be scolding his mother in his heart now, he was just being polite, why did he really withdraw.

David once told him that the period of "exile in Xiangjiang" was the lowest point of his career.Although Xiangjiang was already the center of Asia at that time, it was not worth mentioning compared to the European continent and the North American market, not to mention that with the rise of Huaguo, Xiangjiang's political uncertainty became more obvious.

At that time, only those who were not reused would be sent to Xiangjiang.And David was affected because of the high-level power struggle, and was unfortunately recruited.He said that in the early days of being exiled to Xiangjiang, he healed the wounds in his heart by relying on Huaguo's beautiful formalism.Everywhere he went, the feeling of being welcomed by people was so wonderful, it made him feel his own value again.

The leaders didn't know the crookedness in David's heart, and the uprightness of foreign friends had always been famous. They didn't know that standing in front of them was a mutated British gentleman.

David and his party were welcomed into the guest house in the town.

Li Zheng has also found out that Luo's visit to Yantian County is to build a basic pharmaceutical factory for extracting proline.

Yangproline is one of the main raw materials of drugs for treating neurological diseases. It was first extracted from fish bones and fish viscera. At the end of the 90s, after the Japanese successfully extracted this ingredient from a certain seaweed, Yangproline The production of Chinese medicine rapidly transitioned from the animal extraction method to the plant extraction method.

Li Zheng guessed that giant crocodiles like Novartis, Pfizer, and Roche already had plant extraction technology, but in order to squeeze out the last trace of value of animal extraction technology, no one took the lead, so they were robbed by Japanese who did not understand the rules. opportunity.These pharmaceutical companies have done a lot of such unscrupulous things.

Roche set his sights on Yantian County, first because it is close to Xiangjiang and convenient for management.Second, it is probably because of the scale of the fishery here.

But... this is probably the reason why Roche finally gave up setting up a factory in Yantian.

"I really envy Miss Sitian! If only I could learn English well!" Li Chaoyang has already been talking about it all the way. In order to better entertain foreign friends, the county has selected a few girls with good English scores from various high schools to work in the guest house. Temporary waiter, Zhou Sitian is one of them.

Li Zheng rolled his eyes, "Then it's not enough for you to learn English well, you have to go to Thailand for a sex change operation."

Li Chaoyang scratched his head, "What is sex reassignment surgery? Why did you go to Thailand to do it?"

Looking into Li Chaoyang's clear eyes, Li Zheng didn't want to explain to him the scientific proposition of "how the Thai ladyboy was born".

Before dinner, Zhou Sitian sneaked back home and asked Li Zheng to go to the guest house for dinner.Listening to Zhou Sitian's description of how good the food in the hostel is, and the foreign wine brought by the foreigners, the foreigners don't want it until they finish drinking at noon, and the waiters secretly hid it.

"Master Yang said that there must be a lot of ingredients this time. When the foreigners finish eating, we will make another table for us, and drink the remaining foreign wine!" When she said this, her almond eyes flashed Looking at the light, Li Zheng deeply felt Zhou Sitian's mood of wanting to share what she thought was a good thing with his family.

"Great! That must be great!" Li Zheng's eyes were smiling beautifully, and the expression on his face was very gentle.

"I...I'm going too!" Li Chaoyang finally interjected, secretly glad that he came home a little later, otherwise he wouldn't have such a good fortune, foreign wine, hehe.

Zhou Sitian nodded with a smile, and the three of them walked to the guest house in the town with a smile.

When they arrived, the preparations for the dinner had just started, and they didn't want to disturb Zhou Sitian's work, so they stayed in the waiter's lounge to chat.

On the other hand, in the room on the fourth floor of the guest house, Wang Chengcai felt that he was going crazy. His cousin actually stole the foreigner's cufflinks!

"Do you know how important this project is! The vice-governor is still living in the downstairs room, accompanying those foreigners in person, and you actually went to steal their things!" Wang Chengcai tried to keep his voice down. My cousin has a lot of problems, but I didn't expect him to be so unreasonable.

"I didn't steal it, they dropped it under the table and I picked it up." Yang Kaijian seemed to realize the seriousness of the matter, his voice was as low as a mosquito's.

Wang Chengcai paced back and forth, "No, you put it back, where you picked it up!"

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and it was Mama Wang.

Mother Wang is the accountant of the guest house, so she has a long private room in the guest house, and Wang Chengcai often comes to live there.This time, because of the quota for the new factory, Wang Chengcai brought his cousin here to open his eyes for a moment of pleasure. He did not expect such a thing to happen.

"Mom, what's wrong?" Wang Chengcai had a bad premonition in his heart.

"The foreign friends lost their things, and the leaders got very angry. Now the hostel is looking for things up and down. You stay in the room and don't wander around." Wang Mama said softly.

Wang Chengcai's heart skipped a beat, and he responded obediently on the surface.

"Cousin, cousin, what should I do? I didn't mean to." Yang Kaijian finally panicked.

Wang Chengcai thought for a long time with a gloomy face, and suddenly said: "Didn't you just say that you saw that annoying Li family boy in the staff lounge on the first floor."

Yang Kaijian nodded quickly.

"That's just right. Didn't you say that you want to teach him a lesson? We don't fight with blood!" Wang Chengcai said with a smile.

Yang Kaijian looked at the ruby ​​cuff in his hand, then at his cousin's face, and nodded heavily.

**********

"Wow, this foreigner's wine..." Li Chaoyang took a sip of the red wine and put on a gesture of enjoyment, but he didn't last long in his pretended gesture, and couldn't help but spit out the wine in his mouth, "It's not that bad .” He continued sullenly.

The table roared with laughter. Wine is different from traditional wine in Huaguo. It has strict requirements on the quality of grapes, and cheap wine has a strong astringency.The wine that David brought was at the mid-range level, and it wasn't bad to drink, but it definitely wasn't good for young people who didn't drink alcohol on weekdays.

"Little baby, eat more vegetables. Master Liu doesn't cook this green grouper very often, so I just borrowed it from a foreign friend."

When everyone was eating happily, a group of people came towards the back kitchen aggressively. Governor Qiu and David walked side by side, followed by the deputy secretary of Shennan District, the county head, and the mayor of Qinghe Town, followed by a large group of A and B Bing Ding.

The people at the table were taken aback. Master Liu saw the director of the hostel in A, B, C, and D. He couldn't help but stood up and asked, "Suo Liu, what happened."

With a sullen face, Liu Suo shook his head at him, but didn't speak.

"Xiao He, recognize him." Qiu Zhengye was really beeping in his heart. He is the deputy governor in charge of health, and now he has to solve the case.

The young man named Xiao He came out from behind the big bosses tremblingly. Under the inexplicable gazes of everyone on the table, he suddenly pointed at Li Zheng and said, "It's him! It's him! I watched him take Mr. David's sleeve Put it in the bag."

The scene was silent, and the faces of the people at the dinner table changed drastically. Li Chaoyang was stunned for a moment, and then he was furious, "What are you talking about? Li Zheng has been with me all this time. I don't know what cufflinks are."

Now that he had said it, Xiao He went all out. He said loudly to Qiu Zhengye: "Leader, I saw it with my own eyes. The cufflinks must still be in his bag!"

Zhou Sitian glanced at Li Zheng's empty shoulders, and her face turned pale instantly. She naturally knew that Li Zheng would not steal anything, but she also knew that the cufflinks were probably in Li Zheng's bag now.

"Student Li Zheng, can I ask you to go get your bag with my secretary?" Qiu Zhengye said, he was very surprised that the boy who was identified did not show a look of panic. He saw indifference and a slight smile in his eyes, which didn't look like the reaction a thief would have, nor the reaction a high school student would have.

Li Zheng nodded, gave Zhou Sitian a soothing expression, and then followed the secretary away.

When he came back, he had a bag in his hand.

Xiao He looked at the bag nervously, for fear that Li Zheng would secretly take it out on the way.

"Is this the bag?" Li Zheng raised the bag and waved it in front of Xiao He.

Xiao He felt something was wrong in his heart, but he still nodded, because he put the things into the bag with his own hands.

The secretary took the bag from Li Zheng's hand, opened it in front of everyone, and took out the contents one by one.

"Found it." A ruby ​​cufflink was flipped out of the bag.

Xiao He breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately jumped up and said, "Look, it's in his bag. I saw him put the cufflinks in the bag with my own eyes!"

Qiu Zhengye took a deep look at Li Zheng, then took the cufflinks from the secretary and walked up to David, "Mr. David, are these your cufflinks?"

David nodded, "Yes, this is indeed mine." In fact, what David wanted to say was that it was just a cufflink, he had many of them, and there was no need to make such a fuss.But he didn't say that he enjoyed the feeling of being valued.

"It's impossible, Li Zheng is with me all the time!" Li Chaoyang said loudly.

But obviously, his words were of little importance to everyone present.

Director Shen of Yantian County took a step forward and said to Li Zheng in a cold voice: "Student Li Zheng, please come with us."

The "Law on the Protection of Minors" was promulgated in 1991. Before that, minors had no privileges.According to Xiaohe, Li Zheng committed the crime of theft. In addition, the matter involved foreign friends and investment promotion, which added to the crime.If he goes with Director Shen, his life will be ruined.

Li Chaoyang's eyes were bloodshot with anger, if Master Liu hadn't stopped him, he would have played that bloody Xiao He now, Zhou Sitian's face was pale and his expression was dull.

Seeing Director Shen's hand on Li Zheng's shoulder, Zhou Sitian seemed to be awakened suddenly, she suddenly shouted: "It's not Li Zheng, it's me, I stole it!" After saying this, her whole body The man slumped on the chair as if he had lost all strength.

Li Zheng turned around in astonishment, for the first time such a strong emotional color appeared on his face.

"Sister...Sister." From the moment he woke up, Li Zheng didn't have much affection for the original owner's family and friends, and he even took a somewhat casual attitude towards this new life.

Obviously there are many things in his mind, but he has not taken any practical actions, and he has not even sent out the papers that have been written on the Notting Catalyst.

Because for him, he once had too many things.The sense of superiority that has been at the top of society for a long time made him inadvertently show an aloof temperament above everyone in his first rebirth.

However, this time, Li Zheng only felt that he suddenly woke up from a dream, and a wave of coldness rose from his limbs and rushed to the back of his head.

"Shut up!" He yelled at Zhou Sitian, "Don't take all the dirty and smelly stuff on yourself!"

Looking at Xiao He mockingly, Li Zheng avoided Director Shen's movements, took two steps forward, and said in a skilled New York accent: "David, can I talk to you alone?"

David looked at Li Zheng in surprise, but what surprised him even more was that he wanted to agree.God, this is unreasonable. This oriental doll is indeed very beautiful, but he should not be such an irrational person.

"Never underestimate anyone, and never give up any opportunity." Li Zheng spat out English words one by one with a smile.

"Of course, my honor, sir." David agreed, his tone unprecedentedly polite.

David wondered if he had acquired some oriental secret art, just like what he heard from his little assistant in Xiangjiang, what was it called, Gu art.A kind of sorcery that can manipulate others, otherwise, how could he feel that he and himself are best friends for many years when he sees this oriental doll...

And what Dongfang Doll said just now was his motto, which he saw in an American magazine.How could a Chinese know!

Li Zheng and David walked to the corridor one after the other.

The people who stayed in the back kitchen looked at each other, what happened, and why they couldn't understand the development of the matter all of a sudden?

"That kid Li Zheng is so good at English? No, he only got 32 in English in the midterm exam last time, which is five points lower than me." Li Chaoyang said to himself, looking up to see everyone looking at him strangely, Can't help but smile awkwardly, he seems to have got the point wrong.

Zhou Sitian was in a daze, obviously she hadn't recovered yet.

"Never underestimate anyone, never miss an opportunity. This is my motto, I don't know how Mr. Xiao knows." David doesn't think he is important enough to ask a middle school student to recite his materials, let alone , it is impossible for him to have a motto on his information.

"Mr. David, it's not important. What's important is that I have something here that I want to give to Mr. David."

David frowned, "What." He didn't think a Huaguo student could come up with anything that would make his heart flutter.

Li Zheng took out a rough tissue and handed it over.

David frowned even more tightly, but because of the oriental magic, he felt an indescribable awe towards Li Zheng, so after hesitating, David still took it.

Just glanced at it, and David jumped up all over.

"Is this true? What you said is true?" David's exaggerated shout attracted everyone from Qiu Zhengye.

"This method is not difficult. Just find a production line and try it out. I don't need to tell such untechnical lies." Li Zheng rubbed his nose, but he was actually a little guilty.

What he wrote on the paper towel was a little trick for improving the production line of "Xiao Cuo'an". A puff of white smoke is emitted as the compound reacts.The white smoke is slightly corrosive, so that the parts in the synthetic part of the production line need to be replaced frequently.

Pharmaceutical production lines are very expensive, even a small part is worth a fortune.Moreover, Xiaocuo'an is a very basic multi-molecular polymer, which is used in many medicines. Therefore, Roche alone has nearly a thousand Xiaocuo'an production lines around the world.

If the method written by Li Zheng on the paper towel is true, the money saved in the replacement of parts in that year is enough to build a pharmaceutical factory for the production of "Yangproline".

The most important thing, he, David Andorio, discovered it!This is enough to make his name as an "exile" appear in the sight of Roche's top management again!

"Oh, my friend, if this is true, I will definitely apply for a huge reward for you!" David thought he was too discerning, and he said how he fell in love with this oriental doll at first sight, oh no , hit it off!It turned out that God was guiding him!

Li Zheng coughed twice, "My friend, for your sake, I can donate this technology to Roche for free. But I ask you to do me a small favor and help me complete the patent application for this technology. If If Novartis and Pfizer are interested in it, then there will be a price to pay."

Why Li Zheng is so generous, because this technology was told to him by David in his previous life.Of course, at that time, it was because David was jealous of the African colleague who was transferred back to Europe because of this technology. At the same time, he belittled the scientists in the Roche laboratory, saying that such a simple technique has not been studied for so many years. come out!

"Oh, my friend, I am so touched by you. Okay, don't worry, the patent document will be delivered to you as soon as possible." David now looks at Li Zheng's eyes, as if he was looking at St. The angels in the church are gentle enough to drip water.

Li Zheng laughed dryly, his face seemed to need training.
