Reborn in the red age

"This old Su is really unreasonable. We clearly talked about cooperating to set up a research institute, but how come it turned into a donation?"

In the president's office of Peking University, after listening to Li Qingfeng's story, President Wu banged on the table indignantly.

"Yes, there is no hope for Beihang University. President Wu, can you help me contact the China Aerospace Industry Corporation or Harbin Institute of Technology?" Li Qingfeng looked at President Wu expectantly.

The future giant aerospace technology group has not yet been established.

At that time, the only company capable of launching rockets and satellites in China was the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation. It was not until after 99 that the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation was established on the basis of some enterprises and institutions under the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation.

Principal Wu frowned slightly, thought for a moment and said, "Teacher Li, don't worry. I can try to contact the Aerospace Industry Corporation and Harbin Institute of Technology."

Before Qingfeng Li could even open his mouth to thank him, Principal Wu poured cold water on him again.

"But don't hold your hopes too high. The chances are slim. What Lao Su said does make sense."

"In our country, the field of rockets and manned aviation involves national security and military technology. It has always been a research project of state-owned enterprises. It is almost impossible for private enterprises to enter. Even if I introduce these two units to you, the conclusions you get will be no different from those of Lao Su."

Li Qingfeng raised his eyebrows and asked persistently, "Is there no other way?"

"Of course. Your situation is special and you have made great contributions to the country. The higher-ups will consider your situation. Although they won't cooperate with you in research and development, they can still let you participate."

"what do you mean?"

Principal Wu did not answer the question directly, but asked about Li Qingfeng's purpose: "Isn't the purpose of your aerospace business to launch satellites? As long as you can launch the satellite you want and allow you to use it commercially, that's fine, isn't that what you mean?"

"That's right," Qingfeng Li nodded, confirming Principal Wu's question.

"That's easy. Whether it's Starlink or manned space flight, it's not a problem as long as you change your mindset. The higher-ups specifically agree to let you do it."

Li Qingfeng probably understood what Principal Wu meant, and asked hesitantly, "You mean, I won't participate in the research and development of satellites and rockets, but will just place an order with the Aerospace Industry Company as Party A, and let them develop satellites and launchers according to my requirements?"

Principal Wu glanced at Qingfeng Li with admiration: "You are worthy of being able to expand your business to the whole world. Your brain is very sharp and you can understand things at a glance."

"Thank you for the award"

Li Qingfeng's mind raced as he pondered the feasibility of being Party A.

If aerospace industry companies can develop satellites and rockets as required, they own the satellites they produce, and it does not seem to matter whether they participate in the development and production.

It’s just like eating. If you want to eat a dish but don’t have the ingredients at home, you can still eat it at a restaurant.

All you have to do is pay the money, and you don’t have to do it yourself.

After thinking about it, Qingfeng Li felt that this model was quite good. He did not stay with Principal Wu any longer and said goodbye in a hurry and left.

He went downstairs, took out his cell phone and called Secretary Qian, with whom he had been cooperating. He wanted to contact the Aviation Industry Corporation of China through Secretary Qian's connections. For matters concerning state-owned enterprises, it is more effective to talk to Secretary Qian than to Principal Wu.

Unfortunately, Secretary Qian was not in the country at the time. He went abroad for an inspection two days ago, and the call was answered by someone in their office.

Since he is not in the country, there is nothing we can do but wait for him to return.

As a big and troublesome matter was about to be solved, Li Qingfeng blew a whistle, rode the bicycle that Hu Jiabao bought when he was in school, and rode leisurely towards the staff quarters.

When you are in a good mood, everything looks good. Li Qingfeng touched the paint-chipped handlebars and said with emotion: "The quality of bicycles these days is really good. After more than ten years, they haven't broken down at all. They are very smooth to ride."

Just as Li Qingfeng was riding his bicycle along the path in the courtyard, a Mercedes-Benz passed by, then slammed on the brakes and stopped not far in front of Li Qingfeng.

Then the car door opened, and a fat middle-aged man got out of the driver's seat and looked at Li Qingfeng in surprise: "Li Qingfeng, it's really you, I thought I was seeing things."

Li Qingfeng also stopped. For a moment he didn't recognize who was in front of him. He blinked and looked at the person several times. Only then did he vaguely see a familiar face from the outline of the other person's face.

Li Qingfeng threw the car to the ground and shouted in surprise: "Zheng Xiangqian, I haven't seen you for so many years, how come you have become fat?"

The visitor was none other than Zheng Xiangqian, Li Qingfeng's roommate during college. Unfortunately, his lifestyle was discovered by several people in the dormitory, and he moved out before Li Qingfeng went abroad.

After that, except for meeting once before Li Qingfeng went abroad, he hasn't seen her since he returned to China.

Li Qingfeng still remembered when he first met him. This boy was dressed neatly in tailor-made clothes, had a watch on his wrist, and his hair was glossy and shiny. He was the most elegant one in the whole dormitory building.

Li Qingfeng walked forward and looked at Zheng Xiangqian a few times, he was amazed. He really didn't expect that after not seeing him for so many years, the man who took his own conditions so seriously in the past has now become a greasy middle-aged man.

"Haha, eating big fish and meat every day for two years, this is what I'm looking like," Zheng Xiangqian said with a smile, touching his big belly.

Looking at the black Mercedes-Benz and then at Zheng Xiangqian's round belly, Li Qingfeng joked, "Sure, you're rich. You eat a lot of meat and fish every day and drive a Mercedes-Benz. It seems like you've become rich."

"No, no. I'm far inferior to you. I've heard your name quite a lot in the past few years since I went into the sea." Zheng Xiangqian was humble on the surface, but there was pride in his eyes.

"I am being modest. I don't do business in China. How did you hear my name?"

"Such a big lemon company is here. Even though you are not in the underworld, your name is everywhere in the underworld."

"That's what you said"

Just when Li Qingfeng was about to continue teasing Zheng Xiangqian, the door of the black Mercedes-Benz was opened from the inside and a sweet-looking young girl came out.

Li Qingfeng was stunned. He looked at the girl who got off the car, then looked at Zheng Xiangqian. For a moment, he didn't know what the relationship between the two was.

Seeing Li Qingfeng's expression, Zheng Xiangqian knew that he had misunderstood. He explained, "Qingfeng, let me introduce you. This is Liu Siyao, a junior from our journalism department. She works part-time in my company. I sent her back to school and came to visit the school by the way."

Liu Siyao also stepped forward to say hello: "Hello, Teacher Li"

"Hello, hello, you have good appearance. What part-time job do you do for Senior Zheng?"

Li Qingfeng responded with a smile, but in his heart he was secretly speculating about the relationship between the two.

After all, Zheng Xiangqian has a criminal record and is obviously a playboy.

As soon as he was admitted to university, he dumped his wife and children at home and started dating a female classmate, which caused quite an ugly situation for a while.

Liu Siyao smiled slightly, revealing two cute dimples: "Model, Mr. Zheng's shopping mall is opening today, I'm going to be a model"

I looked at the girl in surprise. I didn't expect that she was so open-minded. It seemed like a quiet and well-behaved girl that she actually dared to be a model.

In the 1990s, whenever a larger shopping mall opened, models had to be hired, and swimsuit models were often hired.
"It's quite cold, go back to the dormitory and drink more hot water"

"Fortunately, it's an indoor performance and the air conditioning is set quite high."

Looking at Liu Siyao's receding back, Li Qingfeng glanced at Zheng Xiangqian from top to bottom and said, "Is your old problem coming back again?"

"How can that be possible? I'm already 41 years old, and I'm only 20 years old. I can't do such a thing even if I'm a beast." Zheng Xiangqian quickly defended himself. Li Qingfeng curled his lips, not believing what the boy said, but he was too lazy to care about these trivial matters.

Being able to get the hang of it is other people's ability. I'm not a teacher now, so why should I care so much about it.

Knowing that he could not be trusted in this regard, Zheng Xiangqian quickly changed the subject: "By the way, didn't Lao Hao stay in school? We finally met today. I will treat you to dinner tonight."

"Lao Hao has also gone to the sea. I'll give him a call later to see if he has time tonight."

Since the last housing allocation, Hao Aiguo has been trying to find connections to transfer, but to no avail.

After two years of trying hard in school, offending too many people and having no way to transfer, Lao Hao felt he couldn't make it in school anymore, so he simply resigned and went into the computer business.

"Hao Lao has gone into business?"

"Why? Only you can go into the sea, but not others?"

Zheng Xiangqian shook his head: "That's not the case. I just didn't expect Lao Hao to go into business. With his personality, I thought he would stay in school for the rest of his life."

“I guess he’s come to terms with it.”

Li Qingfeng didn't say what happened specifically, and that thing wasn't anything glorious.

Although many people in the school knew about it and Zheng Xiangqian could find out by asking his old classmates, Li Qingfeng felt that there was no need to bring it up.

"Okay, then you should call Lao Hao and see if he has time tonight. We haven't seen each other for more than ten years, so this is a good opportunity to have a good chat."

"Hit now"

"Dayong, Youwei, are they in the capital? If so, ask them to come over and have a gathering. Let's have a reunion in dormitory 313 after more than ten years."

Li Qingfeng did not refuse. Although Zheng Xiangqian was condemned by his roommates for what he did, he was still a roommate who had slept together for a year.

After so many years, it's nice to meet and chat and reminisce.

Li Qingfeng invited everyone to a party. Except for Song Youwei who worked in a confidential unit and couldn't come due to work, Hao Aiguo and Zhang Dayong both said that it was no problem for them to get together in the evening.

It was still early, and Zheng Xiangqian had to go back to the mall to check things out. After agreeing on a time and place to eat, the two went their separate ways.

Watching the black Mercedes disappear from sight, Li Qingfeng shook his head, picked up the bicycle that had fallen to the ground, and continued to ride leisurely towards the staff quarters.

After returning home, he told Cai Genhua, who had just finished her confinement and came to the house to clean and cook during the day, that she didn't have to cook for herself tonight, and then he went into the study to play games.

"You're not eating at home tonight?"

Li Qingfeng was having a passionate fight in the study room when the door was opened from the outside and Hu Jiabao poked his head in.

Li Qingfeng, who was playing games, said without even raising his head: "Yes, today I met an old classmate whom I haven't seen for many years. We made an appointment to have dinner together in the evening."

"Who is this old classmate you haven't seen for a long time?"

"Zheng Xiangqian"

Hearing this name, Hu Jiabao tilted his head and thought for a long time, then frowned and said, "Is it the Chen Shimei who had a wife at home but was still in love with a female classmate when you were a freshman?"

"Yes, that's him."

A trace of disgust flashed across Hu Jiabao's eyes, and he looked down upon Zheng Xiangqian.

"Where did you meet him?"

"He met her at school when he was sending a female student who worked as a part-time worker for him back to school."

"Oh"

Hu Jiabao nodded thoughtfully, did not ask any further questions, quietly closed the door and left the study.

After finishing a game, Li Qingfeng looked at the time on his watch and felt that it was about time, so he turned off the computer and prepared to go out to keep an appointment.

Just as he put on his clothes, Hu Jiabao came out of the room and picked up the coat hanging at the door.

Looking at Hu Jiabao's actions, Qingfeng Li was stunned: "Are you going out?"

"Yes, I know everyone in your dormitory. I haven't seen them for a long time. I'd like to go with you to catch up," Hu Jiabao said as a matter of course.

"Stop making a fuss. It's a gathering of men. Why are you following them? Besides, who will take care of the two kids if you leave?"

"Can't we meet old acquaintances? The two children are old enough, they can be at home alone."

As he spoke, Hu Jiabao picked up the phone and said a few words to Cai Genhua who was going to pick up her child from school.

Seeing that Hu Jiabao was determined to go, Li Qingfeng didn't know what to say. Just go, it wasn't like he couldn't bring family members.

Driving the 3 Series that Hu Jiabao bought two years ago for work, on the way to Donglaishun, Hu Jiabao curiously asked: "When did Zheng Xiangqian go into prostitution? Is he still with that girl from college?"

"How would I know? I didn't ask for details. If you are curious, you can ask him yourself when you meet him."

"I'm too lazy to talk to this Chen Shimei"

"Then you must follow me."

"I have to keep an eye on you, to prevent you from being led astray by him. A boss personally sends a female college student who works part-time at his company back to school. What does he want to do? I can tell at a glance that he has no good intentions."

"."

When I arrived at Donglaishun, I happened to meet Hao Aiguo and his wife who were also parking their car.

While Hu Jiabao and Lao Hao's wife were chatting, Li Qingfeng pulled Lao Hao aside and asked quietly, "What's going on? Why did you bring your family members with you?"

"What? I didn't bring her here. She heard that Zheng Xiangqian was coming and insisted on following him," said Hao Aiguo with a wry smile.

"."

Well, Zheng Xiangqian's reputation among the wives of our brothers is really bad.

Everyone knows that he is not a good person, and they even have to follow him to eat. (End of this chapter)
