When will I have a long tassel?

Linyiji East District Food Market is already an unfamiliar concept to the younger generation of Linhe people.

Over the years, Linyiji's family area has undergone several rounds of renovations. The original simple unit buildings built in the 1960s and 1970s have all been bulldozed and replaced with new small high-rise board buildings in a modern style. The courtyard wall of the family courtyard was also demolished and replaced with a hedge with a passage in the middle, forming a rather open layout.

The original Eastern District Food Market has now become a small commercial plaza with supermarkets, specialty stores, restaurants, cinemas and other facilities. Among them, the most eye-catching is the East District store where Huang Liting started, and now it is branded as Lijia Supermarket Linyiji Branch. Compared with ten years ago, the scale of this Lijia Supermarket is more than five times larger, and it is also the largest among the hundreds of Lijia Supermarket chain stores.

The night market in the East District Food Market has always been preserved. How much of this is due to the Tangzi style and other reasons for favoring this night market, outsiders do not know. As a night market that has existed for more than ten years, the East District Caichang Night Market has a great reputation throughout Linhe City. The citizens who come here to eat and relax every night are like crucian carp crossing the river. The business is so booming that other night markets in the city are operating. Everyone was jealous.

Outside an open-air barbecue restaurant in a corner of the night market, there is a space cleverly separated by trees. At this time, seven or eight male and female guests are sitting around. They don't look too old. The store delivered the grilled meat skewers to the small table in front of everyone like water, and did not forget to nod to one of the 30-year-old men:

"Mr. Tang, please use it slowly. If you need anything, say hello..."

"Thank you, Old Chang. Your barbecue skills are really getting better and better. This barbecue restaurant is making money every day, right? Look at Old Chang, your belly is bigger than the last time I saw it. Several centimeters.”

Tang Zifeng laughed and teased the store owner.

The shopkeeper's name is Chang Guanbao, who used to be the director of a small guest house run by Linyi Machinery Factory. When Zhou Heng was the director of the factory, he carried out organizational reforms in the factory, and small guest houses were also introduced to the market. Chang Guanbao failed in the competition for the contracting rights and was assigned to a labor service company. He was also full of complaints at one time, saying that the factory was unloading mills. Kill the donkey or something like that.

In the entrepreneurial wave promoted by Tang Zifeng, Chang Guanbao rented a storefront at the East District Caichang Night Market and started making barbecue. Unexpectedly, he became a little famous. In the concept of later generations, he has become an online store in Linhe City. Red check-in shop.

No one can tell clearly how much money Chang Guanbao has made in the past ten years. Some good people made a rough calculation and said that he earned at least 1 million. Chang Guanbao has always refused to comment on such rumors, and only responded to the curiosity of the melon-eating crowd with his growing belly.

After making money, Chang Guanbao's resentment towards Tang Zifeng disappeared. On the contrary, he felt that he had wasted his time by staying in a small guesthouse as the director. If he had gone to sea earlier, he might be able to buy it in Linhe City this time. A few units of houses are available.

"It's all thanks to Mr. Tang for bringing new life to Linyiji." Chang Guanbao said with a flattering smile on his face: "When our old Linyiji colleagues sit together and chat, who doesn't talk about Tang There is always the magic power that turns stone into gold. Back then, when the machine was about to go bankrupt, it was Mr. Tang who turned the tide and brought this factory back to life. Now that the company has grown so big, we won't talk about it. Even those of us who used to can only The administrative waste has found a good job thanks to Mr. Tang."

"Ha, Boss Chang's words are too low-key. If you are considered a waste, are there any capable people in Linyiji? Judging from how prosperous your store's business is, my friends are all from the capital. Yes. There is also the fat man and his wife, who also made a special trip back from Jingnan, just wanting to eat your barbecue." Tang Zifeng said exaggeratedly. Compliments cost nothing anyway, so there’s no harm in saying a few more.

Chang Guanbao's face was filled with pride and fear, and he said: "My small barbecue stall is just a small business, and it doesn't count. The Lijia Supermarket run by Mr. Huang is a big deal. Now Beijing and Pujiang have There is a chain store, and last time it was on TV, saying that the leading comrades were going to inspect it. All our old colleagues in the factory watched the TV, and everyone said at that time that Mr. Huang was just a family worker back then, and her husband, Lao Cai, was a bad guy. She is a coward who can't beat a fart. If Mr. Tang hadn't shown her the way, she wouldn't be as successful as she is now."

"That's an important statement, that's an important statement. Mr. Huang is a business genius, and sooner or later he will be able to become a blockbuster. I really haven't done anything." Tang Zifeng said modestly.

"In addition to Mr. Huang, there is also Mr. Wang, who is now one of the top entrepreneurs in the city. Last time she treated customers to a supper at my place, she even talked about it specifically, saying that she would find time to treat Mr. Tang to a good dinner. Dun, thank Mr. Tang for teaching her back then."

Chang Guanbao's chatter continues unabated, and he is truly worthy of his position as the director of the small guest house back then.

Tang Zifeng smiled. The Mr. Wang that Chang Guanbao was talking about was named Wang Ying. He was a thorn in the side of the opportunity back then. Zhou Heng and Tang Zifeng were working in Linyiji to streamline their troops and streamline their administration, and diverted redundant staff in the workshop. Wang Ying was also diverted. She ran to the factory to make trouble, but Tang Zifeng found an excuse and slapped her in the face, but she was subdued.

Later, Wang Ying opened a moving company with the support of the factory labor service company. After years of development, it has become the number one logistics company in Linhe City, and she herself has become a well-known entrepreneur in the city. The position has changed, and so has the mentality of the person. Recalling the days when she was making unreasonable troubles in the factory, Wang Ying was even more grateful to Tang Zifeng for giving her a heads-up.

In fact, there was no need for Chang Guanbao to deliver these words. Wang Ying herself had gone to the group to thank Tang Zifeng in person. Of course, the purpose of her going to the group was not just to express her gratitude, but because many of Linji Group's products are now entrusted to the logistics company under her name for transportation.

Chang Guan Baoluo asked for a few words and then left. Tang Zifeng turned back and saw that his friends were looking at him teasingly.

"What, don't you think I look like Uncle Lei?" Tang Zifeng said cutely to everyone.

This group of people eating barbecue is Tang Zifeng’s traditional team, including Ning Mo and Zhang Beibei, Su Hua and Yu Xiaohui, Bao Nana and Liang Zile, Tang Zifeng’s own wife Xiao Wenjun, and the order maker Li Kejia and Wang Zijie.

Li Kejia already has a family and children, but her husband Ge Yafei is a technical geek and has never been able to fit in with Tang Zifeng and his group of liberal arts students, so Li Kejia didn't bring him with her when she came to Linhe to play.

As for Wang Zijie, he completely let himself go a few years ago. He is not married yet, but there are some scandals from time to time. The school's disciplinary department talks to him every day, but there is nothing they can do about him. His academic reputation is frightening now, and if he has a little misbehavior in life, everyone will think it is a scholar's affair, and they can't care too much about him.

I don’t know since when, eating barbecue at Linyiji East District Food Market Night Market has become an important party program for Tang Zifeng and his friends. Although everyone usually has various opportunities to meet each other, if they haven’t had a barbecue at the East District Food Market Night Market in a year, everyone will feel that something is missing.

This group of people now have a net worth of at least tens of millions, but they are keen to go to such an open-air food stall to eat barbecue. This can only be explained by feelings.

"The thing that I admire most about Zifeng is that he is always able to do a lot of good things inadvertently. I'm not saying that there are no people in this society who like to do good things, but others do good things very deliberately and out of curiosity. To a kind of consciousness. Only Zifeng, doing good deeds is as casual as eating and drinking, there is no need to do it deliberately."

Li Kejia gracefully took a piece of mutton from the stick, put it into his mouth, chewed it, and commented on Tang Zifeng.

"Senior sister, you mean that I don't have the consciousness to do good things?" Tang Zifeng asked.

Li Kejia snorted and said: "Do you have any understanding? I am obviously praising you, okay? I mean you are a person with higher consciousness than others. Others have to think about it first before they do good deeds. You are the first to do good deeds. This kind of instinctive behavior is called a noble person, a pure person, and a person who has escaped from vulgar taste."

"Yeah, actually I know, I just want senior sister to praise me personally." Tang Zifeng said shamelessly.

"Wenjun, look at how your Zifeng lost his face." Li Kejia pretended to be angry and said to Xiao Wenjun.

Xiao Wenjun smiled and said: "I don't know about that. I heard from Zifeng that he developed his shame when he was in college. Where did he study in college?"

"I know, it's Renmin University!" Ning Mo quickly answered.

"Fat man, if you stop saying a word, you will die!" Zhang Beibei grabbed Ning Mo's ear and scolded her.

Li Kejia is Tang Zifeng's senior sister. Xiao Wenjun said that Tang Zifeng's face was honed in college, which is equivalent to demoting Li Kejia, Wang Zijie, and Bao Nana, all Renmin University alumni. This kind of joke is all about a tacit understanding, showing off knowledge silently, but if you have to say this out loud, it feels like burning the piano and making fun of the crane.

"That's what it is!" Ning Mo didn't know where he was wrong. He muttered, picked up a bunch of meat skewers, handed it to Su Hua beside him, and said, "Come on, let's eat skewers and don't care about these people." .”

Su Hua took the meat skewers, thanked Ning Mo, then turned to Li Kejia and said, "Mr. Li, I heard that Tuo has canceled their Chinese office, and their US headquarters may also lay off employees next. This should be all thanks to you.

"Our Dahe drone has now entered the U.S. market and will soon compete with several U.S. drone companies. In this regard, does Mr. Li have any good experience to share with us?"
