The Pentium Era - South to North

Liu Ligan was shocked. He shouted: "No way, Meimei, do you want to break up with me just because of this matter?"

Huang Meili shook her head and said, "No, it has nothing to do with today's matter. It's because I'm leaving Hainan Island."

"Going to the mainland?"

Huang Meili continued to shake her head: "Go to the United States."

"Ah!" Liu Ligan was surprised again, "Why have I never heard of you before?"

Huang Meili smiled miserably: "I also thought that this day would not happen, but it happened anyway. Lao Ma, I like Haicheng, I don't like Seattle, and I don't want to leave, but now, I have to leave. I Dad, this is for my own good."

"Your dad?"

"Yes, the old man who took care of me."

"Ah, you mean, um, that old man is your father?"

"Otherwise? Otherwise, who would be so kind to me, listen to me in everything, and satisfy me with whatever I need."

This surprise was truly extraordinary. Liu Lizhan spoke incoherently and stammered: "I thought, I thought...Hey, I thought..."

Huang Meili looked at him doubtfully, and suddenly understood, "I'm going to die!" Huang Meili cursed, and she asked Liu Ligan: "Do you think I am someone else's mistress?"

Liu Lipole nodded.

"Why are your thoughts so dirty, Lao Ma!" Huang Meili said angrily, "I really don't want to care about you anymore!"

Liu Ligan quickly defended: "Well, you can't blame me entirely for this. Didn't you yourself say that the old man who supports you is like this, and the old man who supports you is like that? I, can I not misunderstand?"

"Look, look, look!" Huang Meili stretched out her face and cursed: "Do you think I look like a mistress?"

Liu Ligan said with a smile: "It doesn't look like it. Looking at it now, it doesn't look like her at all. She looks like a rich lady."

As he spoke, he wanted to kiss her, but Huang Meili shrank back.

"Does that mean I looked like before?" Huang Meili asked with her eyes wide open.

"It wasn't exactly the same before. It's just that you said that yourself, and I was embarrassed to ask more questions for fear of hurting your self-esteem..." Liu Ligan muttered.

"You will be punished by drinking this glass of wine!"

Liu Ligan raised his cup and drank obediently.

"You will have another drink as a penalty."

Liu Ligan obediently took the decanter and poured himself wine.

"It's not enough, pour more!"

Liu Ligan continued to pour until Huang Meili stopped making any noise, then he stopped, picked up the cup, and finished the drink.

"Fall again!"

Liu Lipole poured another glass.

"Cheers to me!"

Liu Ligan raised his cup and clinked it with Huang Meili.

Huang Meili then giggled and clinked glasses with Liu Lipole. Huang Meili remembered something and said, "That's not right, Lao Ma, do you think I am someone else's mistress and you want to seduce me?"

Liu Ligan sighed: "When I see you, I can't help myself. Don't say that you are someone else's mistress. Even if I know that you are a monster and a vixen, I still want to be with you."

At least what Liu Ligan said was true, especially now that he knew that he had misunderstood Huang Meili, he fell in love with her even more.

Huang Meili sighed, and the smile on her face disappeared again. She said quietly: "Unfortunately, Lao Ma, it's already too late. We can't be together anymore."

"Why, do you have to leave?"

"Yes." Huang Meili nodded, "I must leave. If I don't leave, my father will be sad. He has asked a friend to help us contact the consulate in Guangzhou. We will go there to apply for the visa tomorrow. After we get the visa, we will start from Go from Guangzhou to Hong Kong, stay in Hong Kong for two days, run some errands, and then fly to Seattle.”

"You? Who else?"

"My aunt."

"Your aunt?"

"Hi, my father's wife is my stepmother, let's go together."

Huang Meili stretched out her hand and held Liu Ligan's hand. The two looked at each other silently. There was a smell of sadness in the air. Liu Ligan felt that he couldn't say what he wanted to say. The two were silent for a while. Yes, Huang Meili asked:

"Lao Ma, do you know who I am?"

Liu Ligan shook his head. After a while, he said, "Your father is from Jingfa Group? They told me that the flower basket you sent in the morning was signed by Jingfa Group."

Huang Meili didn't say a word or nod. She looked at Liu Ligan, hesitated for a while, and then said:

"Lao Ma, can you keep what I said to you today a secret? Promise not to tell anyone?"

Liu Ligan said yes, I promise.

"Really, this is very important, Lao Ma. You are the only friend I have in this world who can express my concerns. I believe in you and I hope you will not let me down."

When Huang Meili said this, her eyes turned red. Liu Ligan touched her face and said to her, "Don't worry, even if I betray myself, I won't betray you."

Huang Meili nodded and said softly: "My father is the boss of Jingfa Group."

"Isn't the chairman of Jingfa Group's surname Shentu?" Liu Ligan said. If the chairman's surname was Huang, then Liu Ligan would think of it.

"Jingfa Group is a joint venture, but all the shareholders are heads. Among them are my father's apprentices, my father's drivers, and my father's relatives. No one knows who the overseas ones are. , In fact, Jingfa Group belongs to my father, and my father is the boss."

Huang Meili said: "Of course, this is not a secret. Everyone in Jingfa Group knows it, and many people in the society also know it. What they don't know is what my father did to accumulate so much wealth. , so rich, very few people know this, and even those who do know, they only have a rough idea."

"Do you know?" Liu Ligan asked.

"I don't know the specifics. I just know that he does a lot of things and has many connections and friends, especially friends who are officials. Everything he does is very profitable..."

"Like you said last time, reselling the red line map?"

"That's just a very small part of it, and it's not the most profitable. There are other ways to make money faster, such as reselling foreign exchange quotas. You can make tens of millions at a time. When my father is happy, he will say these words at home. , but specifically, I really don’t know.

"I only know that he made a lot of money, so much that he even felt scared. This is why he had to send my aunt and me abroad. Others thought he was rich and arrogant, but in fact he was very wealthy. Scared, very, very scared, really, the things he did involved too many people and were too complicated."

"I can imagine it," Liu Ligan said.

"Lao Ma."

"Um."

"Do you still remember the last time you met me at the Industrial and Commercial Bureau?"

"Of course I remember. I'm still surprised. Logically speaking, you're not someone who doesn't have the means to apply for a license. Why would you queue up?"

"Yes. If my father wants to apply for a license, there is no need to queue up. The people below will take the documents and go directly to the director's office, and it will be done in one day. It was different that time. It was my company. My father came here because he wanted to take the exam. It’s a test of my ability to do things, and secondly, he doesn’t want to have anything to do with anyone in this company.”

"Why?"

"My father originally wanted me to register a company on my own, and then he would transfer a sum of money to my company and let me do whatever I wanted without having anything to do with the Jingfa Group."

"I understand, your father wants to protect you." Liu Ligan said.

"Yes, he thought he could protect me this way, but it turned out that this was impossible. How did you say that? Yes, I remembered that there were intact eggs under the overturned nest. If something happened to him, I My aunt and I will definitely be implicated as well. In fact, my father didn’t tell us anything, but those people don’t think so. They think we must know many secrets.

"My father understands that only by sending us out can he truly protect us, so he made this decision on the spur of the moment. Of course we refuse to leave, but if we don't leave, it will only make him worry all day long. We asked him what he was worried about, but he refused to tell us. He just told us that you must leave, and the sooner the better."

"Can't your father go with you?" Liu Ligan asked.

Huang Meili smiled miserably: "It would be great if he could leave. If he is not in Haicheng, attracts the attention of those people, and leaves with us, he said, then none of the three of us can leave."

When Huang Meili said this, she shed tears and trembled all over. Liu Ligan hugged her. Huang Meili kept saying, hold her tight, Lao Ma, my aunt and I are actually very scared. Ah, but we couldn't let my dad know that we were scared, so I didn't dare to stay at home.

I know, I know, I know it all now. Liu Ligan kept mumbling.

"Lao Ma?"

"Um."

"Why do I feel like I'm about to wander around the world?"

"I also have the feeling of separation between life and death."

The two hugged each other and cried.
