That year the flowers bloomed 1981

The twelfth day of the first lunar month in 1983 was the departure time Li Ye had scheduled before entering Hong Kong Island.

Because it took two days and two nights to get from Pengcheng to the capital by train, he had to return to the capital before school started, and he had made an appointment in advance to watch the Lantern Festival with Wen Leyu.

But before leaving, something unexpected happened. Pei Wencong arranged three direct flights to Beijing for Li Ye and the others.

If you were coming from the capital to Hong Kong Island, then Li Ye was definitely not qualified to take a plane. But to go from Hong Kong Island to the capital, Pei Wencong could easily do it just by passing through the airport as a classmate of the University of Hong Kong.

Now, even Hao Jian, who had some trouble with Pei Wencong yesterday, couldn't help but ask Li Ye: Why does that person named Pei have classmates everywhere?

Li Ye said with a smile: Hong Kong Island is such a big place. It is always easier for students of the University of Hong Kong to get ahead. After years of accumulation, won't he have classmates all over the world?

Do you understand now the significance of my admission to Beijing University? A HKU is a network of connections. As long as you share your interests, you will have channels and connections.

Hao Jian pursed his lips, nodded and said, It is useful to study more, otherwise you will always be bullied.

Li Ye said angrily: It wasn't him bullying you yesterday, it was me bullying you, okay?

Just yesterday, Hao Jian and Pei Wencong had a little dispute over clothing export issues.

Pei Wencong insists on focusing on companies on Hong Kong Island to dominate the export business of Pengcheng Factory No. 7, and claims that there are friends from the University of Hong Kong who are in this industry and have experience and connections.

What Hao Jian means is that he is an insider in the industry, and Hong Kong Island should cooperate with him and take the opportunity to make a name for himself at the Canton Fair, learn from experience, and keep profits from outsiders.

In the end, it was Li Ye who made the decision, and the export business was still decided by Hong Kong Island.

This decision caused Hao Jian to murmur and complain, saying that Li Ye preferred the far away and did not distinguish between inside and outside.

But Hao Jian didn't know that exports were difficult these days. It would be strange to have Pengcheng No. 7 Factory take the lead to get things done.

Why are you bullying me? Hao Jian heard what Li Ye said and muttered: Isn't it right for you to bully me?

I just don’t understand the brand you’re talking about, but when I asked Pei Wencong, he turned a blind eye to me. How do you want me to learn from them in the future?

.

Li Ye really didn't know about this, but it was a good thing to think about it.

Pengcheng No. 7 Factory has been making a lot of money recently, and Hao Jian has become somewhat apathetic. As long as he can make money by selling, he doesn't care about the style.

From now on, when foreign brands come in, what will they do to resist them?

In addition, Li Ye also hopes that Chinese people's aesthetics will not be too influenced by the West.

He doesn't deny that OL outfits with stockings look good, but what about bell-bottom pants?

Moreover, flower growers also have their own unique clothing elements, such as the Mao suit, which has basically disappeared in later generations. Li Ye thinks it is a pity.

He still remembers how handsome the Kung Fu Emperor looked when he wore a Chinese tunic suit and killed everyone in the Hongkou Dojo.

After everyone despised it as an old-fashioned symbol, the boys' school uniforms of the Chrysanthemum Kingdom absorbed some of its elements and made a beautiful stand-up collar.

As for the horse-faced skirt, it is still a bit ahead of its time, but it should still be possible to try to extract some traditional ethnic elements.

He hopes to create a brand that meets the aesthetics and acceptance of most people, so that others will like it as soon as they see it.

Moreover, you must be able to compete with the world's big names and challenge them.

. . . . . .

The next day, Pei Wencong sent Li Ye and others to the airport, and did not wave goodbye until they checked in.

Once out of Pei Wencong's sight, Hao Jian and Jin Peng seemed to suddenly relax.

The upright body became sluggish, the serious and unswerving eyes became active, the stiff neck turned left and right flexibly, and everything I looked at felt novel.

Be good! This time I came out with Brother Ono. I didn't expect to be able to get a seat on the plane. You said that when we get on the plane, what are the levels of people sitting around us?

Thirty-year-old factory director Hao Jian is now a man who can do tens of millions of dollars in business with just a wave of his hand, but he still has a strong sense of novelty about flying for the first time.

But Jin Peng's focus is a little different. He doesn't care who he flies with!

Xiao Ye, I heard that you can drink Maotai as much as you want on the plane. Is this true?

Don't ask me, I haven't sat there either, but can't you afford Maotai now?

Jin Peng licked his lips and said with a smile: It shouldn't taste the same, right? Does it taste the same when you drink Moutai now as when you drank it for the first time?

The three of them got on the plane smoothly, only to find that most of the people sitting around them were foreigners.

If you want to drink Moutai, it's okay. The flight attendant will pour you a glass of wine. However, smoking is not prohibited in the cabin and the ventilation system is not as good as that of later generations of aircraft.

The people around him smelled bad, and the uniforms of the flight attendants were far less eye-catching than those of later generations. Li Ye's ride was just average.

Li Ye closed his eyes and fell asleep. More than two hours later, he felt the plane began to turn and circle, and he knew it had arrived in the capital.

But after a while, Li Ye felt something was wrong.

Because the plane has been circling for a long time.

Is the Capital Airport also congested these days?

Li Ye was a little strange, and then he heard a passenger by the window say: It's snowing outside!

Li Ye looked over and took a look, his heart skipped a beat and he became nervous.

It's okay if it's snowing outside. The ground staff at the airport are absolutely dedicated and will clear the snow urgently, but the low visibility is a big problem.

There is no blind landing system in domestic airports these days. It all depends on the courage and skill of the pilots. Landing in bad weather conditions may be the best at landing in Maozi. Pilots from the south are probably the best.

Facts have proved that the pilot skills these days are quite good. After circling for twenty minutes, the plane successfully landed at the Beijing Airport.

Looking out through the windows on both sides, there was heavy snow and mist, and everything as far as the eye could see was white.

Why is there so much snow?

After getting off the plane, the passengers deeply felt how heavy the snow was in Beijing. Just walking down the short section of the gangway, they were covered with snowflakes.

After passing the inspection and entering the country, Li Ye learned that there was a sudden heavy snowstorm in Beijing, and many departing flights were delayed or cancelled.

In addition, serious traffic jams occurred on the road leading to the city due to slippery snow conditions, and the number of buses was insufficient. All passengers could only wait patiently and leave the airport in batches.

Li Ye waited for more than half an hour before following the staff's instructions and going out to get in the car.

As a result, after he got in the car, he saw three familiar people at a glance.

One is Zhang Rui, the son of the original owner of the Zaojun Temple courtyard where Li Ye currently lives.

When Li Ye bought his house half a year ago, he heard that he was going abroad, but he didn't know why he delayed it until this time.

The other two acquaintances were surprisingly Liu Muhan and Lu Jingyao, whom they had not seen for half a year.

Several of them were sitting together. Looking at the school badges on their chests, there were seven or eight people around them who were students from outside Beijing.

Li Ye frowned and wanted to find a seat to sit down, but Zhang Rui saw Li Ye and waved to him: Li Ye, Li Ye, come and sit here.

Oh, I'll just sit here.

Oh, come here, come here.

Zhang Rui was too enthusiastic, but Li Ye refused and sat over.

Li Ye, has your flight been cancelled? Why didn't I see you in the waiting area just now? Are you here to see me off?

I'm not here to take a flight. I just landed. Of course you can't see me in the waiting area.

Did you just land?

Zhang Rui was stunned for a moment, then asked: Where did you fly from? How did you buy the plane ticket?

Several students from outside Beijing also looked at Li Ye. After all, at his age, he shouldn't be qualified to fly.

Li Ye said calmly: The publishing house on Hong Kong Island invited me to communicate for a few days, and they bought the plane ticket for me when I came back.

Are you coming back from Hong Kong Island? Zhang Rui was surprised, and then said with a smile: Brother, you have to go abroad to write novels! No wonder I see that your outfit is very glamorous, and your feelings are foreign products ah!

Li Ye slowly turned his head and said to Zhang Rui in surprise: Going abroad? Why do you have such an idea?

Zhang Rui didn't react and said strangely: Is there anything wrong with this?

At this time, Jin Peng said coldly: Hong Kong Island is a sacred and inseparable part of our country. After you leave, please don't talk nonsense.

.

Jin Peng's impression of Zhang Rui was really not very good.

Originally, his house was sold for 8,000 yuan, making it the most expensive one. After they agreed to get the money, he temporarily increased the price to 10,000 yuan. Although he brought a room full of furniture, it was not trustworthy.

As Jin Peng finished speaking, the carriage immediately fell silent.

In fact, in the 1980s, people subconsciously believed that going to Hong Kong Island meant going abroad, and Zhang Rui was just a slip of the tongue.

Zhang Rui smiled, and then said: Yes, yes, fortunately I am still on our land, otherwise there would be no chance to correct it.

By the way, Brother Li Ye, you are the first to be wise. Tell us about the situation outside and give us more experience. Don't let outsiders underestimate us.

Li Ye shook his head and said: What's there to say? We are all human beings. Whoever is strong or weak will be judged by his or her ability. As long as you study better and are more capable than them, no one will underestimate us.

What this little brother said makes sense, a man in his forties next to him interjected: Our company used to import parts from Chrysanthemum, but even though he said good things, he still ignored them with a cold look. , I thought he was a facial paralysis patient,

As a result, last year our own research institute made a breakthrough in new technology, and the man came to us with a smile on his face, lowering the price and giving gifts. I asked him at that time, Why do you know how to smile charmingly!

Hahahaha~

Everyone around laughed.

With the addition of this Beijing native, everyone was chatting more and more harmoniously.

When they learned that Jin Peng and Hao Jian went to Hong Kong Island because of Li Ye's invitation letter, everyone around them looked at Li Ye, and their eyes became obviously fierce.

How difficult is it to leave the country now? Li Ye can bring people out at such a young age. What is his ability?

No wonder I just said speak based on your ability!

In the entire carriage, only Lu Jingyao's gaze did not fall on Li Ye.

She looked out the window blankly, desperately trying to recall the English knowledge she was studying last night, hoping to use her concentration on study to block the sounds in her ears.

For more than half a year, Lu Jingyao has been studying hard, and many times he can reach the point where he can't hear what is going on outside the window.

But no matter how hard she tried today, Li Ye's voice penetrated her ears and heart like needles.

[Why was he so ordinary before, but now he is the center of discussion no matter where he goes? 】

Liu Muhan, who came to see her off, sat next to Lu Jingyao. Seeing Lu Jingyao's face gradually turn pale, he knew that she was being extreme again.

Liu Muhan carefully observed Li Ye from the moment he got in the car. Li Ye only glanced at Lu Jingyao from front to back, and he glanced past him.

In other words, Li Ye didn't care about Lu Jingyao at all.

But Lu Jingyao experienced a strong psychological change because of Li Ye's appearance.

Alas~~

Liu Muhan sighed and had no choice but to hold Lu Jingyao's hand and give her some meager comfort and support.

She knew very well that if Lu Jingyao could not get rid of this psychological barrier on her own, Li Ye would be her lifelong nightmare.

The bus was quickly filled with people, but because there were still many people stranded at the airport, and it was already dark, we had to overload the bus, and the people coming up behind had to stand.

At this time, a man in a suit suddenly stood up and shouted, making Li Ye frown.

Everyone, please show your style and give up your seat to international friends. Young people, please hold on. Give up your seat.

Many people stood up and gave up their seats to others, but young people like Li Ye were the first to get up and give up their seats.

The current general environment is like this, and Li Ye does not directly contradict it.

But when the next group of passengers came up and it was Li Ye's turn to give up his seat, he was unwilling to give up.

Because he saw Naoto Nakamura among this group of passengers.

Naoto Nakamura also saw Li Ye, and naturally stood in front of Li Ye under the guidance of the enthusiastic man in a suit.

This classmate, please give in and show your talents.

Which style of our country requires me to give up my seat to a chrysanthemum man?

.

The man in a suit who had been promoting his style in the carriage for a long time was stunned.

Everyone in the car had been under his command just now, and those friends who got seats also gave him friendly smiles. While he was enjoying the time, he was suddenly interrupted by a kid.

The man in the suit immediately straightened his face and asked Li Ye sternly: This classmate, which school are you from? What is the name of which class?

In the end, Li Ye was even harsher than the man in the suit, pointing directly at his forehead: Which unit are you from? What's your name and position?

.

How dare he say this?

At this moment, which unit doesn't have a few old revolutionaries? If he really stabbed him, someone might beat him with a cane.

Wonima, when I almost lost my life, who did you give up your seat to?

The atmosphere in the carriage was very awkward, and Zhang Rui beside him couldn't help but tug on Li Ye's sleeve, hinting that he shouldn't be too stubborn.

But Li Ye said to him: Classmate Zhang, didn't you just ask me to tell you about my experience outside? Then I will tell you something.

Li Ye said very seriously and loudly: In our flower garden, gentle humility is a virtue, but when you get outside, you will find that others don't like you at all.

Excessive humility will only make others think you are incompetent and weak.

If you want to gain the respect of others, you must either use excellent results or use strong fists, but never give in.

Because in the Western dictionary, the strong must do their part!
