Rebirth: My 80s

Li Jiankun signaled to the security personnel to let go of the middle-aged man who was forcing his way over.

So he looked at the other person and walked over.

The man was between 40 and 50, his exact age could not be determined, with dark and rough skin. He was wearing army green trousers, an oversized suit jacket that had been washed to a pale color, and a cow-dung yellow canvas waist bag around his waist.

Most likely a trader.

The kind that travels all over the country.

Li Jiankun's heartstrings tightened, and he asked, "Do you have any news that I want to know?"

"Yeah!" Zhao Si nodded vigorously.

"about?"

Zhao Si looked around. Now that the richest man Li was in front of him, he dared to say it out loud: "Shen Zhuang."

"Take a step to speak!"

Li Jiankun waved his hand and immediately ordered the security personnel to clear a path and return to the main building where there was no one seeking help, and take the middle-aged man with him.

Not long after.

On the first floor of the main building, in a quiet office.

Li Jiankun stared at the middle-aged man, waiting for his next words.

Zhao Si felt uneasy when he stared at him.

Li Jiankun took out a pack of Chinese cigarettes, handed him a cigarette, lit one for himself, and said jokingly, "Don't be nervous, I don't eat people."

呲!

Zhao Si took out a match from his waist bag, lit a cigarette, took a deep breath with shaking hands, and said, "Then, the money?"

"As long as the situation is true, the one million will be handed over to you without any less."

Li Jiankun comforted him, "Don't worry, I'm issuing a public reward notice, and people all over the country know about it. Besides, what do you think one million is to me? I won't owe you the money."

Zhao Si grinned. Only after hearing what Mr. Li said in person did he feel at ease.

So, he brought the topic back to the missing Shen Zhuang and said:

"In a remote mountainous area in the northeast, in a village."

"Are you sure?" Li Jiankun asked.

"Sure!"

Zhao Si said: "I specially found a newspaper with his photo and compared it with the newspaper. There is no way I could have made a mistake!"

Li Jiankun was overjoyed, but he also remained somewhat alert and asked, "Which village are you from?"

"No."

"How did you find out?"

"I was engaged in the sale of mountain products. I went to the mountains to collect mountain products and then sold them in the city. I discovered this by accident."

Li Jiankun paid attention to his micro-expressions, and he probably didn't lie. He couldn't wait to ask for the details, but this person was very cautious and would probably not tell him directly, so he said:

"Can you take me there?"

"Of course, can you give me money?"

Li Jiankun laughed and said, "Great, then why not wait for a better day? Let's set off right away."

Zhao Si said: "I'll follow you."

Li Jiankun wanted to take Zhao Si to the Northeast immediately, but he remembered something and held back, motioning Zhao Si to rest here for a while.

He thought about it and decided to call Miss Shen as she would definitely want to go too.

As for whether to tell her parents, let her decide -

Although Zhao Si said it with great confidence, he still couldn't be 100% sure before he met Zhuangzhuang.

There are people in this world who look similar.

For example, some actors’ stand-ins are so realistic that they can be mistaken for the real actors.

After bidding farewell to Zhao Si and asking the head of the security department to "guard" him, Li Jiankun got on the Crown car and slowly drove away from the foundation compound under the escort of the security personnel.

About twenty minutes later, we arrived at the Capital Daily compound.

As a result, He Dongzhu was asked to go to the Youth Daily's headquarters to look for Miss Shen, but he couldn't find her.

People from the newspaper said that Miss Shen had taken a day off today.

Li Jiankun and his companion then drove back to Haidian without stopping.

As a result, He Dongzhu went to Shen's house to look for her, but still couldn't find her. Shen's mother said that Miss Shen had gone out to play with her friends.

"friend?"

Li Jiankun had a bad feeling in his heart.

You know, there are a few women who haven't left the capital yet.

For example, Abby said that it was the first time for her to come here and she wanted to see the magnificent Great Wall. With such a serious reason, Li Jiankun couldn't chase her away, right?

Abby pulled Liu Jingyan again.

Liu Jingyan pulled Effie along again.

Aifei and Huang Yinzhu are best friends again...

"Dongzhu, where's the cell phone?"

He Dongzhu hurriedly took out a "black brick" from the glove box.

It is worth mentioning that in 1988, the capital was finally able to use mobile phones.

On March 10 this year, when most citizens in the capital were still looking forward to installing a landline phone at home in the near future, a news item on the front page of the Capital Evening News announced the official opening of the mobile communications era:

"Public mobile phone network starts trial operation today."

A week before this, Li Jiankun had already got the "black brick" with this good number.

"...Please call 127-825... Leave a message: Where are you? Urgent, call back quickly! Kun."

After calling Miss Shen, Li Jiankun thought about it and called Ran Zi again.

Not long after.

The monosyllabic ringtone of the mobile phone rang.

Ran Zi came back.

Li Jiankun: "Where are you?"

Ran Zi: "Zhaolong Hotel. I am compiling some documents that need your signature from various groups and will give them to you later."

Li Jiankun: "What about them?"

Ran Zi: "Didn't we go climb the Great Wall and visit the Forbidden City?"

Li Jiankun: "Shen Hongyi is with them?"

Ran Zi: "Ah? I don't know that."

If Miss Shen didn't call back within ten minutes, Li Jiankun would guess that it was almost certain.

I don’t know whether it was Huang Yinzhu’s fault or Abby’s.

Li Jiankun: "You should find a way to contact them and ask them where they are."

Ran Zi: “Oh.”

……

……

In a scenic area.

In a teahouse, in an antique tea room.

Five women sat around the exquisitely carved antique Eight Immortals table:

Effie, Huang Yinzhu, Liu Jingyan, Abby Adams, Shen Hongyi.

As the old saying goes, three women make a play.

Five women...even more exciting than a palace fighting drama.

Abby and Huang Yinzhu are already on the same front.

At least on the surface, Liu Jingyan seemed to be indifferent to the matter.

Effie is a miserable peacemaker. She doesn't stand on anyone's side but her brother's. However, it doesn't make much difference.

Shen Hongyi naturally became the firepower output point.

Abby: "Ms. Shen, with all due respect, you are not worthy of him at all."

Shen Hongyi has a side to her that even Li Jiankun may not understand. Ever since she received the invitation to go out together today, she knew that this was a Hongmen Banquet, but she still did not think about it and readily agreed.

Shen Hongyi brewed tea unskillfully, and then distributed the brewed tea to the girls, even Abby, who was obviously malicious towards her, got a share.

Huang Yinzhu picked up the white porcelain teacup, took a sip, and said with a curled lip, "It tastes bad."

Shen Hongyi smiled and said, "It's my technique that's not good, not the tea. You all came from far away, so please forgive me for the poor hospitality."

Huang Yinzhu frowned slightly. Was she being treated as the host or the hostess?

Abby was ignored and got a little mad. She said in English, "I said you are not worthy of him. You should quit on your own initiative!"

Shen Hongyi turned her head to look at her, still smiling, and asked in fluent English: "Are you worthy?"

"of course."

Abby raised his head and said, "My family drafted the Declaration of Independence. Our political influence in the United States and even the world is beyond your imagination. It can be of great help to him.

“Personally speaking, not only am I younger than you, but my experience and knowledge are also far beyond your reach.

"I can help him solve many problems in business, personal connections and so on.

"What can you do for him?"

Shen Hongyi smiled and said: "Me?

"Yes, I can't do any of the things you said."

Abby snorted and said, "It's good that you know yourself."

Shen Hongyi hadn't finished speaking yet:

“But there are many things I can do for him.

"For example, washing clothes, cooking, and doing housework; taking care of his aging parents; and getting him a basin of water to wash his feet when he comes back tired from running around outside..."

As Shen Hongyi spoke, there was a look of longing on her face.

This is exactly what she was looking forward to, a happy life with her senior.

Abby opened her eyes wide and said, "All of this you said was done by the servants!"

"Ms. Adams, there is a generation gap between us caused by some cultural differences, and it is not easy to communicate.

"And he is also a Chinese. Perhaps, this is what he expects from his other half.

"Do you think he is the kind of person who needs to rely on his wife's family background and share the work with her?

"You don't know him well. He is a very proud and even conceited person. But in his heart, he longs for a simple life."

Shen Hongyi paused here, glanced at Huang Yinzhu, and continued:

“I would also like to take the liberty of saying:

"Even if there's really no possibility between him and me, you won't have a chance. He will choose her instead of you."

Abby and Huang Yinzhu looked at each other with their eyes wide open.

Liu Jingyan, who had been watching the show, sipped her tea quietly and thought to herself, I underestimated it.

What an amazing woman.

Just a few words broke up the alliance between Abby and Azhu.

Huang Yinzhu, who had lost her charge, could only go into battle herself. She said, "Don't think you're the only one who understands him. I know him as well as you do."

"How many years has Miss Huang known him?" Shen Hongyi asked.

"We met in 1979."

Shen Hongyi was surprised and said, "It's earlier than I thought."

Huang Yinzhu said with some complacency: "You entered Peking University in 1979, but you also met him that year."

Shen Hongyi nodded and asked, "Then do you know what he likes to eat the most?"

"seafood!"

"No, his favorite food is rice with lard."

Huang Yinzhu: "..."

“Do you know what your favorite sport is?”

Recalling the first time she met Li Jiankun and the many times they went to the beach together, Huang Yinzhu said confidently, "Swimming!"

"No, he plays basketball, but his skills are terrible, so he can only rely on his physical fitness to play under the basket."

Huang Yinzhu: "..."

"Do you know what his favorite thing to do is?"

Huang Yinzhu said without hesitation: "To make money!"

"No, actually, he did nothing but lay there. He even invented a word for it, called 'lying flat', but he felt that he was not qualified to lie flat."

Huang Yinzhu's forehead was covered with sweat.

"Knowing that he likes women best—"

"Butt! Definitely a butt!" Huang Yinzhu said as if she was sacrificing her dignity.

Abby next to her smiled complacently. She thought that if compared to this, everyone present was trash.

She thought happily in her heart that she was indeed the most attractive.

"That's right, but it's not comprehensive. It's the proportion of the waist and body together."

Huang Yinzhu: "..."

Abby was so excited that she stood up, showing off her body and said, "Then he likes people like me, just me!"

Shen Hongyi ignored her, walked to the windowsill with a small teacup, and overlooked the scenery in the scenic area from the second floor. She took off her windbreaker and only wore a white slim wool sweater and blue jeans. She left a gourd-shaped back to the girls, and her waist-to-hip ratio was amazing.

To become better.

She also works out regularly, but not in the gym like Abby does.

More aerobic and more natural.

Although her figure is not as hot as Abby's, in terms of waist-to-hip ratio, Abby is even better.

No one knew that she had always been very inferior in her heart. After falling in love with her senior, she was constantly sculpting herself.

Looking forward to becoming his most beautiful and virtuous bride one day.

She is not a competitive woman, except for her love with her senior.

She could actually imagine that there must be many women out there who admired her senior.

"I can totally understand why you think I'm not good enough for her."

Shen Hongyi looked out the window and said without turning back. The girls could not see her expression:

“Yes, I don’t have a prominent family background, nor am I a capable person.

"All I can do is try my best to be a good Chinese wife and mother.

"If he wants to marry me, I will marry him. You can't make me give up love.

"When I met him, he was not yet the world's richest man, Li Jiankun, but just a student. I never thought he would become the world's richest man.

“He waited for me for ten years.

"Can I give up?"

There was silence in the tea room.

Not long after, Abby spilled cat urine and said, "Why should he wait for you for ten years?"

Effie looked at her and said, "Little American princess, you haven't seen through it yet. This is love."

Boom boom boom!

There was a knock on the door, and without anyone saying anything, the door opened.

Li Jiankun rushed in with anger, glanced at the women at the Eight Immortals Table, and noticed Shen Hongyi by the window. He asked in a deep voice: "What are you doing?"

The women were silent.

Shen Hongyi turned around and said in reproach: "What are you doing? You scared me. We are just tired from playing. Come over and have a cup of tea."

That's it?

Li Jiankun stared at her suspiciously, but he did not see any sign of being wronged in her, so he laughed and said to the girls, "I'm just teasing you. Come, have some tea. I'm thirsty too."

The women looked at Shen Hongyi with complicated expressions.
