Siheyuan, a comfortable life under Zhengyang Gate

The next afternoon, Yang Yukun followed Yang Huajian and Mao Ditu to Fengzeyuan Restaurant.

Today, Yang Huajian and his fellow educated youth had a gathering. Upon learning that Han Chunming was going to slap Cheng Jianjun in the face in public at the gathering to avenge what happened seventeen years ago, Yang Yukun came over to join in the fun.

"Brothers and sisters, I'm sorry for being late. Please forgive me."

"Yang Huajian, Mao Ditu, you two will have to drink three glasses of wine as punishment later."

"No problem. I haven't seen you for seventeen years. I can hardly recognize many of the people who worked with me in the production team in Xiaoqing River."

"Yes, time flies. In the blink of an eye, it has been seventeen years since our gathering of educated youth from all walks of life."

"Mao Map, are you still drawing maps on the bed now?"

"Ha ha……."

"I don't draw the map now. It's my son's turn to draw the map."

"Ha ha……."

"Chunming hasn't come yet?"

"I don't know. I hope he won't forget. I'll give him a call."

Yang Huajian and Mao Ditu were very prestigious among the educated youth who went to work in Xiaoqinghe Village because they were children of high-ranking officials.

Yang Huajian and Mao Tutu were also the main leaders of today's gathering of educated youth.

Everyone else had arrived, except Han Chunming, so Mao Tutu picked up the phone and called Han Chunming.

"Chunming said he'll be here in a little while, twenty minutes at most."

Cheng Jianjun laughed and said, "He was late for the educated youth gathering 17 years ago, and he was late again this time. He made so many of us wait for him. He has no sense of time at all."

Someone else agreed: "That's right, we agreed on 3pm, you really have no sense of time."

"Who are you talking about?"

"Han Chunming, have you forgotten?"

"It's been too long. I've been working away from home for so many years that I can't remember many people."

"Seventeen years ago, when we had a gathering of educated youth, I called Cheng Jianjun grandpa. Do you remember it?"

"I remember now. He was a well-known figure among the educated youth who went to work in the countryside in our Xiaohe Village."

"Cheng Jianjun plays the piano really well. I remember the piece he played was "An Evening on the Outskirts of Wuhai Port", right?"

Cheng Jianjun smiled widely: "Thank you brothers and sisters for remembering this. When Chunming comes, no one should mention this matter. Give him some face."

"Cheng Jianjun, do you still play the piano?"

“I haven’t played it in years.”

"Perform one for us later."

"Okay, but if I don't play well, please don't scold me, brothers and sisters."

"I remember that Han Chunming was fired from the food factory not long after he came back from the production team, and then he went to collect scraps. Does he still collect scraps now?"

"You guys may not know since you haven't been in the capital, but Han Chunming is very powerful now. He has become a big boss."

"is it?"

"The Jubanxian Restaurant and Zaihuilou Restaurant in the imperial capital, Yongjian Real Estate Development Company, Yongjian Decoration Company, and Yaxuan Museum are all his."

"Such a stake?"

"They are indeed very powerful. There are also Yang Huajian and Mao Ditu, who are now big bosses too."

"Yang Huajian, Mao Ditu, does your company still need people? I'll go work for you."

"Director Yang, Director Mao, please accept me as well. I will go and guard the gate for you..."

Seeing others praising Han Chunming, Yang Huajian and Mao Ditu, the smile on Cheng Jianjun's face faded and he snorted in his heart.

What's so great about that? Even if Han Chunming is the big boss now, what difference does it make? Back then, you still had to bow your head and call him "Master".

He can play the piano. Can this guy Han Chunming play it?
As long as this guy could play a complete song on the piano, he would eat the piano in front of so many educated youth.

Looking at the piano placed in the corner of the hall, Cheng Jianjun came up with a plan. Today he had to make Han Chunming call him "Master" again in front of so many old educated youth.

"Look at this guy showing off. I really want to beat him up."

Mao Tutu couldn't stand Cheng Jianjun's smug look.

Yang Huajian smiled and said, "Let's watch Chunming's performance later."

"There's going to be a good show." Yang Yukun grabbed a handful of melon seeds and looked up at Erlang Shen, waiting for the show to begin.

"We are having a gathering of educated youth today, but he doesn't look like one of them?" At this time, a middle-aged man pointed at Yang Yukun and said.

Yang Yukun smiled and said, "Yes, I have never cut in line. I am here to eat for free."

Yang Huajian said with a smile: "This is my brother. He is very curious about the gathering of us old gang members, so he came to take a look."

"Ding ding ding..." "Hey, Chunming, what's going on? Everyone is waiting for you, okay?" Mao Ditu hung up the phone: "Chunming said he has something else that will delay him for a while, so let's start first."

"When will he come?"

"It will probably take about twenty minutes."

"Then we won't wait for him." Yang Huajian came on stage and clapped his hands to draw everyone's attention to himself: "Ladies and gentlemen, good afternoon."

"it is good!"

"It has been seventeen years. Today we have the good fortune to gather together again to hold this classmate and educated youth meeting. I will not waste any more words. I guess you all are a little unfamiliar after not seeing you for so many years. Now, please welcome classmate Mao Ditu to introduce everyone present to you first."

Yang Huajian stepped down and Mao Ditu came on stage. After chatting for a few words, he introduced the identities of everyone present.

The number of educated youth who attended this gathering was far less than that which came seventeen years ago.

Those who can be here today are all successful people who have made achievements in their careers. If there are people who don’t even have a decent job, they basically won’t come even if they know there is this gathering of old friends.

"Yang Huajian, Chairman of Jiannan Group."

"Papa..."

"Let me introduce myself. I'm Mao Ditu, the chairman of Fangge Cultural Management Company."

"Papa..."

"Wu Tianhua, General Manager of Zhenchuan Real Estate Development Company."

"Cheng Jianjun..."

An old man interrupted and said, "Mao Map, there is another person you haven't introduced yet."

"Yes, although this little brother has never cut in line, since he is here, we are friends."

"Yang Yukun, a homeless vagrant." Without waiting for Mao Ditu to introduce himself, Yang Yukun stood up and introduced himself first.

Because he rarely appears in public, the outside world knows little about his identity, and few people know that he is the boss of Zhiwei Wine Company.

After all, this is not the age of advanced Internet, and a small thing can spread all over the world quickly.

He just came here to watch the fun today. He won't have any interaction with these people in the future, so there's no need to be so high-profile.

Others did not pay much attention to Yang Yukun. They just thought he was a little brother who followed Yang Huajian and Mao Ditu to eat for free.

"Sorry, sorry, something delayed me and I'm late."

At this moment.

Han Chunming walked into the banquet hall from outside carrying a briefcase.

"Let me introduce you. This is Comrade Han Chunming, the chairman of Yongjian Real Estate Development Company." Mao Ditu said, "Chunming, you have kept us waiting for so long. You will have to drink three glasses of wine as punishment."

"You can't punish me today. If you knew who I brought here, you would have to toast me three times."

"Who?"

"Look who I invited." As Han Chunming finished speaking, a man in his sixties walked into the banquet hall.

"Secretary Yang!"

Everyone stood up and applauded. The person who came was the brigade secretary when Han Chunming was sent to work in Xiaoqinghe Village.

Han Chunming said: "Everyone, please be quiet for a moment. Let me introduce you to Secretary Yang. He is not only the secretary of Xiaoqinghe Village, but also the chairman of Xiaoqinghe Agriculture, Industry and Commerce Corporation.

It was purely coincidental that I met Secretary Yang today. I was paying the bill in the lobby of the Shandong cuisine hall of Zhiweilou Restaurant. I was looking at beautiful women and then I saw Secretary Yang. So I shamelessly invited him here.

Brothers and sisters, let's invite Secretary Yang to give us a report. Everyone is welcome. "

"it is good!"

Secretary Yang smiled and said, "What kind of report is this? I just came to see you all. I will just say a few words. I have something else to do later.

Seventeen years have passed since the last time we had a reunion.

Seventeen years have passed, and things are completely different now.

The Xiaoqing River today is no longer the Xiaoqing River when you were sent to work in the countryside. In one word, it’s good.

I will not enumerate how good it is specifically. I invite everyone to come back to Fangshan when you are free, to visit Xiaoqing River, to have a look and experience for yourself the changes in Xiaoqing River.

Now that you are all rich and have become big bosses, I welcome you to return to Xiaoqinghe to invest.

Well, I won't say any more, I have something to do later, bye."

When Secretary Yang met Han Chunming at the Capital Hotel, he was discussing an introduction project.

He heard from Han Chunming that there was a gathering of educated youth today, so he decided to come over to see everyone and catch up with them, hoping that he could attract some investment for Xiaoqing River.

He also met with the project investors, and after a few words, Secretary Yang left.

The group sent Secretary Yang away. Yang Yukun looked at Han Chunming and Cheng Jianjun. It was their turn to perform next. (End of this chapter)
