Since 1979 I have been in the tide of the times

Wang Weidong used a wrench to remove a pipe connection under the sink, then replaced it with a newly bought pipe connection, turned on the water pipe switch, and there was no water leakage.

Wang Weidong felt a sense of accomplishment.

In the villa he bought in Salt Lake City, there was a water leak under the sink. It would cost less than a hundred or two hundred dollars to find someone to fix it, and it only cost a few dollars to do it yourself.

Back in the living room, Wang Weidong took out a Huazi from the cigarette case on the coffee table and sat on the sofa, puffing clouds leisurely.

The sound of car brakes came from the open window, and Wang Weidong hurriedly stood up to watch.

The villas here are sparse, and there is only his villa within 40 meters. The car parked outside must be running towards him.

It turned out to be a taxi, and a middle-aged woman got out of the car.

Seeing the woman's face, Wang Weidong was stunned for a while, then turned around and walked out of the villa to open the door.

"Why are you here?" Wang Weidong asked after opening the door.

"I'll see if you're dead or not!" the woman said angrily.

"Hurry up, it will be almost done after I finish offering flowers on your grave!" Wang Weidong immediately replied.

Zhao Na glared at the man in front of her, who had never suffered a disadvantage in front of her.

She pushed Wang Weidong away and walked into the living room of the villa.

"Pig nest!" Zhao Na said.

"Why don't you stay here and be my mother, and I'll pay you one hundred dollars a month!" Wang Weidong said.

He sat on the sofa and picked up the cigarette beside the ashtray and continued to smoke.

"I'll be your mother? I have three supermarkets in New York, and I can't keep up!" Zhao Na said.

In the 90s, Zhao Na was engaged in MLM marketing of Shuangkangle swinging machines in the South, and successfully escaped and settled in the United States a year before the country banned MLM. Now she is the owner of three Chinese supermarkets.

She took out two Huazi from her bag and threw them on the tea table and said, "Smash it, I will kill you! How much did you pay for your own Huazi?"

"It's about three dollars, 20 yuan!" Wang Weidong replied.

"It was less than 15 yuan when I bought it!" Zhao Na said.

"I think it's very correct to do this! The price is so cheap that the American people smoke hard and kill them!" Wang Weidong said.

In fact, Wang Weidong knows that he is talking nonsense. Americans have higher incomes, and Huazi is cheaper, but the proportion of Americans who smoke is lower than that of Chinese.

There are many ways to ban smoking without raising prices.

Zhao Na and Wang Weidong sat side by side on the sofa, and she also smoked a cigarette, putting her feet on the coffee table and smoking.

Wang Weidong looked sideways at Zhao Na, she already had crow's feet in the corners of her eyes, she was in her early forties and hadn't married yet.

"Did your parents apply for immigration?" Wang Weidong asked.

"No, they just applied for a green card, and they are not used to living here and returned to the capital." Zhao Na replied.

Now there are more and more people immigrating from China to seek refuge with their children, but people like Zhao Na's parents are not used to living abroad, and it is more convenient for them to be treated at home if they are sick.

Free medical treatment in advanced wards, and easy communication with doctors.

"Go to Boston with me!" Zhao Na said.

"What?" Wang Weidong asked.

"This time, there is a person in the advanced training class of Harvard University who used to be my father's subordinate, and now he is the deputy governor. It will be good for you to get to know him!" Zhao Na explained.

The party pays great attention to and is good at learning. Over the years, it has continuously sent cadres to study abroad.

The most important thing is to study in the island country next to Malacca, such as Nanyang Technological University, where tens of thousands of middle and senior cadres have studied.

There is also an advanced training class at Harvard University, but the number of people is much smaller, only two to three hundred people.

Those who can be sent out to study are cadres with high cultural level, strong ability and room for development.

I will retire in a few years, so what's the point of sending me to study?
That is to say, Zhao Na's father's subordinate is now the deputy provincial level, and he will be promoted soon.

Such a promising person is naturally acquainted and even better with friendship.

In a society like China, fighting the world with your bare hands is not a daydream.

Of course, the person Zhao Na mentioned should also want to know Wang Weidong, at least to attract investment.

"Okay, let's go now!" Wang Weidong said.

It is more than 3000 kilometers from Salt Lake City to Boston, and it takes several hours by plane.

Harvard University is located in Cambridge, Boston, and Zhao Na called that person as soon as the two checked into a hotel in Boston.

"Brother Cheng Bin Cheng? The Wang Weidong I told you about has arrived, and we're staying at the Hyatt Hotel!" Zhao Na said.

Today is Saturday, so there is no class, Cheng Bin came quickly, his fair and thin face with gold eyes is very elegant, obviously with a bookish look.

"Xiaona!" Cheng Bin called affectionately.

Cheng Bin is the first generation of college students after the resumption of the college entrance examination. After graduation, he directly entered the central government and was quickly promoted with the appreciation of Zhao Na's father.

This allowed Cheng Bin to avoid competition with college students at the same time. When he became the section chief, those who were also section chiefs were much older than him, but far less educated than him.

Cheng Bin quickly stood out in that era when cadres were educated and younger. After Cheng Bin was promoted to the director, Zhao Na's father was a little helpless, but this was enough. At that time, he was already a deputy provincial cadre.

Therefore, it is necessary to promote as early as possible, leading step by step.

"Let's have dinner under the hotel. The three of you are not familiar with Boston, so don't go out." Wang Weidong said.

The three of them went downstairs to the restaurant. It was relatively simple to guess what to order, and Wang Weidong specially ordered two bottles of Ugni Blanc cognac.

Cheng Bin took a sip lightly, sighed after a long time, and said, "This wine is good! Many domestic wines are really undrinkable, and the wine that costs a few dollars dares to be priced at thousands of dollars!"

Seeing Cheng Bin drinking, Wang Weidong knew that he was an expert in drinking wine.

Cheng Bin ate the steak skillfully with a knife and fork, talking about his experience in the past few years.

I worked in the central government, and was sent to Nanyang Technological University to study public administration to get a master's degree, and then went to a local high-ranking official to study at Harvard University.

This road seems to be the same as hanging up.

Cheng Bin looked at Zhao Na while talking. Back then, he also thought that if he could get married with Zhao Na, it would be of great benefit to his development.

But Zhao Na was not interested in him. Cheng Bin thought that Zhao Na would find someone of the right family, but he didn't expect that Zhao Na immigrated quickly after a short period of doing business and getting rich, and she hasn't married yet.

"I visit the old leader's house every year, Xiaona, you took the old leader abroad and made no effort in our country!" Cheng Bin pretended to blame.

He visits Zhao Na's parents' house every year for outsiders to see. I, Cheng Bin, am a person who knows how to reciprocate!
