When will I have a long tassel?

"Fat man, have you eaten? If not, please sit down and eat something together."

Tang Zifeng welcomed the fat man Ning Mo at his home.

Although it is said to be home, in fact, his wife and children are in the capital all year round, and Tang Zifeng is the only one here. It's not that Tang Zifeng doesn't know how to cook, but since he's the only one at home, he doesn't bother and just makes some junk food. He invited Ning Mo to eat together. In fact, he handed Ning Mo a bucket of instant noodles and asked Ning Mo to make it himself.

Of course, as a foodie who is very good at taking care of himself, Tang Zifeng stocked up various foods such as lunch meat, preserved eggs, vacuum-packed beef, etc. in the refrigerator. At this time, he took them out and put them on the table, and put a few cans of beer on them. It's quite a bit like entertaining guests.

Ning Mo left Linhe more than ten years ago to start a business in Jinnan. He opened a machine tool repair shop in Heling City, Jinnan, and became a small business owner. His family of four now lives in Heling.

Later, Ningmo and his wife participated in Dahe UAV. Zhang Beibei first became a gold medal salesman of Dahe Company, and then was promoted to sales director. She traveled all over the country all year round, leaving Ningmo at home with her son and daughter, and worked as a salesperson for several years. Years old daddy.

After the success of Dahe UAV, Suhua built the headquarters of Dahe Company in Yuyuan, the capital of Jinnan Province. Zhang Beibei was based in Yuyuan. Ning Mo had to close his "Fat Man Machine Tool Repair Shop" and moved his family to Yuyuan.

Today, the Ningmo family owns a duplex apartment of more than 200 square meters in Yuyuan. Their son Ning Yiming and daughter Ning Jinghong are both studying in the best schools in Yuyuan. Zhang Beibei earns a high salary in the company, and there will be huge dividends at the end of the year. Ningmo and his wife have entered the wealthy class.

Ningmo couldn't get involved in the drone company's business, and it was impossible for him to open another machine tool repair shop in Yuyuan. To be precise, even if he wanted to, Zhang Beibei would not agree. Just kidding, how could a family member of the sales director of Dahe Drone Company do a job that requires a lot of effort and sweat? Doesn't this ruin the company's image?

Ning Mo then took some time off. The family hired a nanny, so he didn't need to do the housework. The child went to a prestigious school and was sent to "one-on-one" high-priced tutoring classes after school to guide the child's studies. It was also not Ningmo's fault. Besides, with Ningmo's academic performance back then, how could he possibly be able to guide his children. Even if he wanted to give guidance, Zhang Beibei would have to drive him away, fearing that his dullness would infect the child.

When Ning Mo was free, boredom turned into appetite. The original double-layered chin quickly became three- or four-layered, and his waistline also began to compare with the width of a wine vat.

This time, Ning Mo came back to Linhe to play alone. Hearing that Tang Zifeng was fine at night, he came to his place to have a meal. Of course, having a meal is just a convenience, chatting is the purpose. After so many years, Ning Mo still regarded Tang Zifeng as his best friend, and she always went to Tang Zifeng to talk to him about anything that was on her mind.

"I said, fat man, it's time for you to exercise, right? Running is popular now. If you run around the West Lake every day, I estimate that if you run for two months, your waistline will return to the level of your 20s."

Tang Zifeng held up the can and gestured to Ning Mo, took a sip of beer, and advised half-jokingly.

Ning Mo's eyes were blurry and he said lazily: "Beibei signed me up for a long-distance running class. I actually ran with it for a few days. I found it boring and stopped going. Because of this, Beibei followed me a lot. Stare, I won’t pay attention to her.”

"Beibei is doing this for your own good. Look at you now. This is the 'degeneration' our history teacher said back then!" Tang Zifeng said with a smile.

Ning Mo also laughed when he heard Tang Zifeng talk about things in middle school. However, his smile only stayed on his face for a second, and then he returned to his original lazy look. He took a sip of his beer and said, "Does it make any difference to me whether I'm depraved or not? I just eat and sleep all day long, and there's nothing to worry about. It's really boring."

"I heard what Beibei said. Beibei called me and said that you are getting more and more angry and she doesn't dare to mess with you anymore." Tang Zifeng said.

Ning Mo shook her head and said, "How dare I lose my temper with her? Now that I don't make any money, my family relies on her to make money. I'm a freeloader, so how can I lose my temper? When she scolded me, I In other words, just squat on the wall with your head in your hands and listen."

"What you call soft violence is also illegal." Tang Zifeng said.

"No way? If I don't say anything, just getting scolded is against the law?" Ning Mo said in shock.

Tang Zifeng said: "Fat man, you can't do it in your current state. I think you still have to find something to do. You have just turned 40 now and are still 20 years away from retirement. You can't really just do nothing. Bar?"

Ning Mo said: "Do you think I am willing to do this? Well, back then, when I was working so hard in the workshop, I really had such a dream. I thought that one day I would not have to go to work, I could spend my money casually, and I could eat whatever I wanted. What to eat. Unexpectedly, this ideal has really come true. But when the ideal came true, I realized that such days are not interesting at all, and it is not as exciting as working exhaustingly."

"You still want to repair the machine tool, right?" Tang Zifeng looked at Ning Mo and asked tentatively.

Ning Mo asked seriously, "Brother, what do you think of me repairing the machine tool again?"

"Is your craft good?" Tang Zifeng asked.

Ning Mo slapped her chest, causing ripples: "I learned solid lessons from Master Rui back then, and later opened a machine tool repair shop. I haven't touched any machine tools, and haven't encountered any problems? In the past few years, I have stayed in the fishing industry. Yuan, when I have nothing to do, I will go to some old friends and help them look at the machine tools. I am familiar with the most commonly used machine tools in China, and assembly and maintenance are not a problem."

Tang Zifeng asked in surprise: "No way, Fatty, do you really want to go back to your old career?"

Ningmo nodded and remained silent.

Tang Zifeng asked carefully: "Have you discussed this matter with Beibei?"

"No. I want to discuss it with you first. If you support me, help me convince Beibei. It will definitely be useless if I tell her." Ning Mo said.

"There's no point in telling her!" Tang Zifeng blurted out, "Fat man, don't trick me. Your Beibei is no longer the rural girl she used to be. She will listen to whatever we say. Now she is famous. The marketing director of Dahe Drone Company, I have to be careful when talking to her. Are you asking me to talk to her about this kind of thing, do you mean to scold me?"

"How dare she scold you? Brother, you don't know, the one Beibei admires the most is you. As long as you say something, she will never dare to object." Ning Mo said.

Tang Zifeng knew that what Ning Mo said was the truth. Zhang Beibei's status was different now, but in front of Tang Zifeng, he did not dare to be presumptuous at all. Tang Zifeng said that just now because he himself felt that it was inappropriate for Ning Mo to repair the machine tool again. Ningmo and his wife are the major shareholders of Dahe Company. Based on the market value of Dahe Company, Ningmo and his wife are also worth billions. How can Ningmo be allowed to repair machine tools again?

"Do you want to open a machine tool repair shop in Yuyuan?" Tang Zifeng asked.

Ning Mo shook her head.

"So, are you going to Hungling?"

Ning Mo still shook his head.

Tang Zifeng thought for a while and then asked: "You don't want to go back to Linhe to start a business, do you? There are already more than a dozen machine tool maintenance companies in Gaotan Park. Do you want to compete with them?"

"I want to go to Africa." Ning Mo said something.

"Go to Africa!" Tang Zifeng was really surprised this time. He stared at Ning Mo and asked, "You can't be serious, are you?"

"Lai Taotao is in Africa. When he came back last time, I met him and he wanted to ask me to go over and do it with him." Ning Mo revealed the answer to the mystery.

Lai Taotao was Ningmo's classmate when they were in technical school. When they graduated, they were assigned to work at Linyiji Machinery Co., Ltd., and later they resigned together to start a business in Jinnan. Ning Mo's machine tool repair shop in Heling was a partnership with Lai Taotao from the beginning. After the business became large, the two of them split up. Lai Taotao started another business and did very well.

Ningmo took the opportunity of Dahe Drone and became rich overnight. Lai Taotao did not have such good luck. A few years ago, he seized the opportunity of expanding cooperation between China and Africa, closed his domestic store, and went to Africa to open a company to provide machine tool maintenance services to local machinery companies in Africa. .

In recent years, many Chinese-funded companies have invested and built factories in Africa. To build a factory, it is inevitable to use machine tools. There are almost no good mechanical engineers in Africa. After all, Lai Taotao came out of Linyi Machinery. He has excellent skills and quickly became famous. The company is doing well.

Some time ago, Lai Taotao returned to China to visit relatives. When he met Ning Mo, he naturally also talked about things in Africa. He boasted and described some ordinary business as being able to overcome five hurdles and defeat six generals, which made Ningmo quite excited.

Lai Taotao told Ningmo that Africa is currently in a period of rapid development and is full of gold. He wanted to make his company bigger, but he had limited funds and no capable helpers. Upon hearing this, Ning Mo immediately expressed his willingness to pay to join, which made Lai Taotao happy.

Ning Mo took advantage of the drunkenness to blow the cowhide out, and after sobering up, she became a little confused. He has not given up the idea of ​​going to Africa to partner with Lai Taotao, but how to mention this to Zhang Beibei is a difficulty.

This time when he returned to Linhe, he had the idea of ​​having a deep talk with Tang Zifeng. He believed that if Tang Zifeng supported him, then Tang Zifeng would come forward to talk to Zhang Beibei, and the probability of success would still be high. Tang Zifeng is the kind of person who is good at confusing people. He can always find some unexpected angles to do his persuasion work.

"You have to help me with this matter. Who knows that we are old classmates for more than 20 years?"

Ning Mo said, with the cute look on his face that Tang Zifeng was very familiar with.

Tang Zifeng would rather listen to Zhang Beibei's lion roar than see a fat man weighing more than 200 pounds acting cute in front of him. That kind of look is really challenging to one's nerves.
