Reborn in the red age

The train station was crowded with people, but there was a moment of silence when Mr. Li got off the train.

In the small county town in the early 1990s, Li Fuqiang's outfit was quite eye-catching. Passengers coming and going all subconsciously looked in Li Fuqiang's direction.

The few people who were talking and laughing just now fell silent after seeing this scene.

Hu Jiabao and Li Hongmei looked at each other. Li Hongmei couldn't help but burst out laughing. She held her stomach and pointed at Li's father, unable to speak.

As a daughter-in-law, Hu Jiabao naturally could not make fun of Li's father like Li Hongmei did.

At this moment, Hu Jiabao's facial muscles twitched slightly, and he went over the saddest things in his life in his mind, and then he controlled the emotions that were about to burst out.

"Oh, Dad, do you think you are the God of Gamblers, Brother Ma? Aren't you cold in the middle of winter? You'd better put on your military coat." Li Hongmei, who had recovered, walked quickly to her father's side, regardless of her old father's gloomy face, touched his black woolen coat and said with a smile.

Father Li was quite happy to see his daughter whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

Being mocked by his daughter, the joy in his heart suddenly disappeared, and he replied coldly: "I won't freeze to death, don't worry about it."

"Tsk tsk tsk"

Ignoring the stubborn old man, Li Hongmei looked at her cousin Li Qi, who was shivering from the cold and was wearing a suit and tie as a driver, and asked unhappily, "Are you cold?"

The concept of global warming was proposed only a few years ago. In the 40s, the winter temperature in Shandong was still below zero. Although it was not as exaggerated as in the Northeast where water would freeze into ice, the ice in the small rivers was about centimeters thick.

In the cold winter, most people can't stand going out without wrapping themselves tightly.

Li Qi pointed at his nose, his upper and lower teeth kept trembling, and he said tremblingly: "Sister, you can tell whether I am cold or not by looking at my snot. Let's get in the car quickly, I am almost freezing to death"

"You deserve to be frozen to death. Why are you messing around with your uncle in the middle of winter? Hurry up and put on some clothes, or you'll get frozen to death."

Li Qi, who was so cold that he couldn't stand it anymore, ignored his second uncle's instructions before coming here, quickly opened the driver's door and jumped back into the car.

Watching Li Qi get back into the car, Li Hongmei said unhappily, "Look at what you've done. It's not enough to torture yourself, but you're also torturing Li Qi. You're old now, can't you just live an honest life?"

Li Fuqiang, feeling embarrassed to be lectured by his little girl in public, snorted coldly, and without even going to see his grandchildren, he opened the car door and sat in the back seat sulking.

Boss Li also has a lot of opinions about his increasingly wild old father, but as a son it is not convenient for him to say anything.

Seeing that the younger sister didn't give him any face today, Boss Li felt much better and called Sun Qian and Hu Jiabao to get in the car and go home.

The three children were sent to accompany their grandfather and grandfather in the Santana, while the remaining three adults got into the 212 jeep that the bureau had allocated to Boss Li.

When Hu Jiabao was about to get in the car, the driver's window of the Santana rolled down, and Li Qi shouted, "Sister-in-law, the car in my brother's unit is leaking, and my second uncle asked you to take this car."

Hu Jiabao responded, said hello to the three people, and trotted into the Santana.

The two cars drove out of the train station one after the other. In the jeep, Li Hongmei asked in confusion, "No, brother, what happened to our dad? Why is he becoming more and more vain?"

"Humph, this is just the beginning. The third child was on TV a few days ago, and today we have set up a banquet for all guests. It will be set up for three days in a row. No matter who it is, as long as they say a few nice words to our father, they can sit down and eat at the banquet."

"Ah? Setting up a buffet just to hear a few nice words from people? Isn't this a big mistake? Why didn't you and mom stop it?"

"Stop? Can we stop him? My dad insisted on having the buffet, and even my mom couldn't stop him." At this point, Boss Li paused, sighed, and said, "Come to think of it, I kind of understand why my dad became like this."

"Why"

"When I was young, my family was poor and my mom managed the money. My dad only had so much living expenses and was reluctant to spend money outside. He could only go out to eat out twice a year. Now that I'm older and have a lot of money, I have to make up for the face I lost when I was young."

"Spending money to listen to other people's praises is to regain face? Our dad is really good."

"Otherwise, no one in our family would say anything good about him. You just confronted our dad on the street."

"."

In the Santana, Father Li first took out the candies he had prepared in advance and distributed them to the three children one by one.

After asking Li Qingfeng in detail about what kind of business he was doing overseas, he started talking about random things here and there.

He asked if anyone in Gusu had called after watching the news, and then said that all the neighbors came to his house that day after watching the news, and he entertained them at home until after ten o'clock in the evening.

There was no topic at all. In one second he was asking about his father-in-law's health, and in the next second he started talking about his relatives at home. Hu Jiabao was confused and had no idea what his father-in-law wanted to say.

Two cars stopped at the intersection, and a group of people took their luggage from the cars and rushed home.

It's not that the street is too narrow, but a long row of banquets blocked the road, so only bicycles can pass through.
Father Li, holding his grandson in his arms and holding his hand, passed by this street. People kept greeting him, and every time he greeted him, Father Li would smile and nod.

It can be seen that Father Li is enjoying the current feeling.
Li Hongmei, who was following behind Li's father, complained to Hu Jiabao next to her in a low voice: "Sister-in-law, look at our father's face. Does he look like a poor man who has suddenly become rich? Look at the people eating at the banquet. I don't recognize any of them."

"Don't tell me this. I'm a wife, not a daughter. I can't say whatever I want like you do." Faced with Li Hongmei's invitation to complain, Hu Jiabao quickly refused.

"What's the big deal? Can he make things difficult for you because of this? An old man would never do such a thing as making things difficult for his daughter-in-law."

"That won't work either. Go talk to my brother, don't tell me."

"Okay, I'll talk to my brother."

After Li Hongmei took two quick steps to catch up with Li Lao Da, she held Hu Jiabao's hand and whispered to him, "Mom, grandpa is so awesome. He can invite so many people to dinner at once. I want to be like him in the future."

"as long as you are happy."

When Hu Jiabao returned to the Li family's newly built house, all the Li family's relatives were there, and he was warmly welcomed by the whole family.

I didn't have to do anything as I was pulled to sit on the sofa. They served me tea and poured me water. They started asking me about my well-being and spoke nice words to me as if they were free.

Hu Jiabao was not stupid and he knew exactly why his relatives were like this.

Although he dealt with it politely on the surface, he secretly felt that people were really powerful.

Before the news broke, they were just ordinary relatives and were not particularly affectionate when they met during the Chinese New Year.

After being on the news, everyone was extremely enthusiastic. Even my cousin's wife, who just got married this year and whom I had never met before, knew that I liked sweet food.

Fortunately, Li's relatives have some bottom line. They are not the kind of people who open their mouths to borrow money and close their mouths to arrange jobs.

If Hu Jiabao had such a bad relative, it would be a real hassle to deal with him.

Hu Jiabao was smiling so hard that his face almost froze when dealing with Li Qingfeng's relatives at home, while Li Qingfeng was also smiling so hard that his mouth couldn't close in America. The only difference was that one was a fake smile and the other was a real smile.

"Oh wow, that's awesome!"

In Hawaii, USA, Li Qingfeng wore beach pants and flew a helicopter over the sea.

Yes, you heard it right, it’s flying a helicopter, not riding a helicopter.

As for a pilot's license, Li Qingfeng didn't need that at all. After a few hours of study, he went into space accompanied by his instructor.

The bikini-clad mixed-blood girl sitting in the back seat leaned close to Qingfeng Li's ear while he was having fun, and said loudly, "How was it? Was the Spring Festival I arranged for you fun?"

“fun”

Li Qingfeng, who was flying a plane for the first time, answered excitedly after hearing the little mixed-blood boy shouting in his ear.

"Then you stay with me in America for another two months before returning home."

"Ah, what did you say? The noise is too loud, I can't hear you."

"I said, play for another two months"

"The propeller noise is too loud to hear what you are saying"

Now even the dumbest mixed-blood kid would know that Qingfeng Li did not fail to hear, but was just pretending not to hear.

He immediately shouted angrily in Li Qingfeng's ear with all his strength: "I said fly your plane!"

“Okay, now I heard it.”

"."

The angry little mixed-blood boy ignored him and took out his camera to take pictures of the endless sea.

After satisfying his urge to fly a helicopter, the little mixed-blood boy, as if out of spite, immediately arranged for Li Qingfeng to go skydiving.

Hanging on the coach's chest and about to jump off the plane, Li Qingfeng's legs went weak as he was experiencing such an exciting sport for the first time, causing the little mixed-blood boy to laugh at him.

When the parachute landed and his feet touched the ground, Li Qingfeng, who had kept his eyes closed the whole time, finally had the courage to open his eyes.

The mixed-blood kid who was skydiving alone landed earlier. Seeing Li Qingfeng being brought down from the sky by his coach, he quickly trotted over to ask about his experience of skydiving.

"Hahaha, how is it? Exciting, right?"

After removing the equipment, he lay on the ground powerlessly. It took him a long while to recover. He waved his hand at the little mixed-blood boy and said, "It's exciting, but from the moment I jumped off the plane, I had already imagined myself falling to death."

The little mixed-blood sat next to Li Qingfeng and curled his lips. "You have a coach with you. They are all professionals. How could they fall to their death? Skydiving is truly a sport for the rich. If it was so easy to fall to death, which rich person would dare to do this?"

"There is an old Chinese saying that those who drown are those who can swim. Cross this dangerous sport off the list of activities you gave me."

"Then will the helicopter still fly? Theoretically, a novice like you is more likely to cause a flight accident."

"It's okay, keep flying the helicopter, I'm not afraid of death"

"."

During the ten days in Hawaii, Li Qingfeng, under the arrangement of the little hybrid, went diving, cruised, skydiving, and went up in the sky and in the sea, and tried everything there was to do.

Generally speaking, except for the skydiving that day, the rest of the activities were quite enjoyable. It was worth the trip and I got to experience the vacation of wealthy Americans.

After finishing his vacation in Hawaii, Qingfeng Li did not return to San Francisco with the little mixed-blood kid. Instead, he flew directly back to Hong Kong from Hawaii, and then transferred to Shanghai from Hong Kong.

Li Qingfeng was very low-key when passing the customs, but he still attracted the attention of some people.

Li Qingfeng's plane arrived in Shanghai. Before he even got off the plane, the flight attendant came to Li Qingfeng's seat, bowed slightly, and asked in a low voice: "Excuse me, are you Mr. Li Qingfeng?"

"Yes, it's me. What's the matter?" When Li Qingfeng heard the stewardess calling out his name, his heart skipped a beat. Trouble was coming.

It is true that people are afraid of becoming famous just like pigs are afraid of getting fat. Every move is under the eyes of those who are interested, and there is no privacy at all.

I just returned to China and without notifying anyone, they came to my house on their own initiative.

Sure enough, Li Qingfeng's prediction was accurate. Under the guidance of the flight attendant, Li Qingfeng came to an office in the airport.

At this time, there were already seven or eight middle-aged men with extraordinary aura waiting inside.

Seeing Li Qingfeng coming, the leader immediately came forward and shook hands with Li Qingfeng enthusiastically.

After the introduction, Qingfeng Li learned the identities of these people. They were all from the Magic City.

The highest leader was a department director named Liu, and the director of the exchange, which had just been established a few months ago, was also here.

As the most important city in the country, the leadership level of Shanghai is extremely high. No matter how powerful Li Qingfeng is abroad, he is still one of them, not a Hong Kong-funded or foreign-funded company. The fact that a director came to greet him means that Shanghai attaches great importance to Li Qingfeng.

After a brief greeting, Director Liu invited Li Qingfeng to visit the Magic City and have dinner together in the evening.

It goes without saying that the other party invited him to dinner. Now that Qingfeng Li's identity has been made public, the next step is naturally for Lemon Company to return to China and settle down.

The country wants to build Lemon Company into a benchmark enterprise in the country. It is impossible for you to be a benchmark enterprise in China but your headquarters is not in the mainland, right?

If Qingfeng Li dared not move the Lemon Company back to the mainland, once the news got out, he would be labeled a traitor.

There are many angry young people in the country.
When his identity was exposed, Li Qingfeng had already considered moving the Lemon Company to China, and had selected several cities in his mind, but Shanghai was not within Li Qingfeng's consideration.

Looking at Director Liu who was waiting for his answer, Li Qingfeng smiled apologetically: "Sorry, Leader Liu, my wife and I have an appointment to go to Gusu for dinner today, so we can't have this meal today."

"I was inconsiderate. Teacher Li just came back from abroad, and it's natural for him to see his wife and children first." Director Liu's face flashed with regret, but he didn't force it. After all, they were all people of status.

After another round of greetings, Li Qingfeng shook hands and apologized to everyone. Under Director Liu's arrangement, he took the vehicle they brought to the train station.

The director of the exchange was in the same car with Li Qingfeng. When the car door closed, he spoke quietly: "Teacher Li, we have also established an exchange in our country. Is your company interested in going public?" (End of this chapter)
