"Xiaochen, isn't it too fast for us to do this?"

"What's the quickest? We've known each other for almost two years. Is that fast?"

"But I feel like a dream, I can't believe it..."

"Do I want you to pinch you? It's guaranteed to hurt!"

"I just know how to bully me!... Well, Xiaochen, what do you like me?"

"I said it was because you soldered well. Do you believe it?"

"Of course I don't believe it!"

"Actually, it's the truth. Of course, the more important reason is that you helped me wash my clothes.

"Bah, you treat me as a nanny!"

“…”

The sun was shining, and two young people sat shoulder to shoulder in the center of the courtyard of the Siheyuan. The dried clothes on both sides exuded the fragrance of sunshine, which reminded people of words such as the quiet years. Although Feng Xiaochen had confessed, what Du Xiaodi could accept was just to let the other party hold her hand. In this way, she still felt that it was developing too fast, which made Feng Xiaochen feel a little crying and tears. In later generations, two years were enough to change into ten or eight girlfriends. Can it be called quickly just by holding hands?

"Xiaochen, I always feel that I am not worthy of you." After saying a lot of nonsense without oil and salt, Du Xiaodi finally plucked up the courage and mentioned the most critical issue, which was also the most uneasy thing in her heart.

"How could you not be worthy?" Feng Xiaochen said disapprovingly, "You are a junior high school student, and I am also a junior high school student. Isn't it just right for you?"

"But, you are very capable."

"You are not very capable, right? Tsk tsk, an ace welder, and I can speak Japanese. I'm still worried that you will not look down on me."

"You are the director, I am just a little worker..."

"Xiaodi, you should know that China today is in the middle of the biggest change in history, and everything around us will face earth-shaking changes. You will not always be a small worker, nor will I always be a director. Whether we are suitable does not depend on our identities, but on whether we have a common language or a tacit understanding."

"Common language?" Du Xiaodi looked at Feng Xiaochen and asked timidly, "Xiaochen, do you think we have a common language?"

"Of course there is." Feng Xiaochen smiled, "Didn't I just say that the reason I like you is that you are good at welding. Nowadays, many young people are unwilling to learn technology, and some people who are still able to pass through are not down-to-earth. However, you are a person who can study technology seriously and be able to calm down to do things. This is the same as me. Although we have different positions and different divisions of labor, we are exactly the same in terms of dedication."

Du Xiaodi nodded slightly and said, "Well, I also like your professional spirit. That camp repair was not your business, but you worked harder than anyone else in the climbing and down. In the end, I stayed with me in the clamp truck to watch. At that time, I felt that this director was really different from other directors."

"Actually, I firmly asked to stay with you for a night because I see you are beautiful." Feng Xiaochen said with a smile, and the answer to him was of course Du Xiaodi's rolling eyes and a gentle pinch.

Once the love words of a man and a woman in the first love are endless. Fortunately, Feng Xiaochen and Du Xiaodi both claim to be more dedicated. After chatting for a while, Du Xiaodi urged Feng Xiaochen to go to work and said warmly that she would prepare supper at home and wait for Feng Xiaochen to come back to eat.

"Oh, trap Ronaldo!"

On the way to the redecoration office after leaving Siheyuan, Feng Xiaochen teased him with emotion.

Feng Xiaochen had considered choosing Du Xiaodi as his girlfriend, and even when he was in the camp to repair it, he had such an idea. Du Xiaodi was a beautiful girl, which was of course the initial reason that made Feng Xiaochen moved. Later, her simple, sunny and positive personality also left a deep impression on Feng Xiaochen.

It is a lie to say that you don’t care about the gap in the identity between the two parties. It is difficult for couples who are not at the same level to share their language. Even if they get together out of impulse, they will eventually part ways. However, Feng Xiaochen does not think that Du Xiaodi cannot reach his level. The reason why Du Xiaodi has not received higher education is only because of her family and the times, not because she lacks this ability. A person who can show outstanding talents in his profession will not have a low IQ.

According to Feng Xiaochen's original idea, he was still young, and Du Xiaodi was just 20 years old, so he was not in a hurry to determine the relationship between the two parties. He could observe and contact him for another period, and then talk about it. However, the changes were always faster than the plan. Liu Yanping and Wang Genji's gossip, coupled with the rumors about Luo Xiangfei's desire to recruit him as a son-in-law, all made Feng Xiaochen feel that his identity as a single dog was too dangerous. Du Xiaodi's actions in helping him wash clothes and clean up the room even touched the softest place in Feng Xiaochen's heart. He suddenly wanted to have a home.

Home, such a simple word, made Feng Xiaochen feel the pressure on his shoulders. From then on, he no longer had the same state of eating alone and not being hungry, but had to take on some burdens. He didn't have to care about the financial burden. With his current wealth, it was not difficult to get his brother-in-law, Taishan Taishui, whom he had never met, into a well-off society. The problem he was eager to solve now was to find a way to transfer Du Xiaodi to the capital, and then send her to a school to further study and improve her cultural level.

Thinking of this, he had already arrived at the unit without realizing it. Working hours had passed, but Feng Xiaochen often ran outside, so no one would care whether he was late or not. He went straight to Luo Xiangfei's office and reported to Luo Xiangfei about his communication with Tian Wenjian, Xu Wenliang and others in the morning.

"Wang Genji reported to me just now." Luo Xiangfei said after listening to Feng Xiaochen's report, "You speculate that Gai Zhan may have the idea of ​​asking for personal benefits. I don't think this possibility can be ruled out. Of course, before obtaining conclusive evidence, we cannot rashly conclude that this is the case. Instead, we should consider more possibilities and do our homework. The question now is, if your guess is correct, how can we, as a socialist country, do such personal interests with Gai Zhan?"

"This is exactly what I want to discuss with you." Feng Xiaochen said, "If we want to engage in commodity economy, we cannot ignore the rules of commodity economy. Foreign manufacturers have always used everything to enter the Chinese market. If we want to enter the foreign market, we also need to learn these methods, otherwise we will become Duke Xiang of Song, who will blindly talk about benevolence, righteousness and morality, and will eventually be swallowed up by the rules of the jungle."

"What you said makes sense. In international cooperation, we cannot be Duke Xiang of Song." Luo Xiangfei nodded in agreement. In fact, the old generation of officials were not all pedantic and conservative, and a considerable number of people were still very open and wise. Think about it, after experiencing the war years and years of political movements, if they were not as smart as a fox, they would have been eliminated by history long ago.

"But, after all, we still have to consider the impact when doing it specifically. The country's financial discipline does not allow us to exchange interests with private individuals. At least, Gai Zhan accepts kickbacks and it is impossible to issue an invoice for us, right?" Luo Xiangfei said half-jokingly.

Feng Xiaochen said: "Of course we can't let Gai Zhan issue invoices. In fact, when those big international companies bribe customers, they rarely directly conduct money transactions. They will take some legal measures."

"Do you know these methods?" Luo Xiangfei asked.

Feng Xiaochen said: "Let me know a little bit."

Luo Xiangfei said: "Then tell me how international big-name companies usually do it."

Of course, this problem is not difficult for Feng Xiaochen. Compared with other officials of this era, his biggest advantage lies in his rich market economy knowledge. He said: "For example, in order to promote their own medicines, pharmaceutical companies will choose some tourist attractions and invite directors, procurement supervisors, department directors and other powerful personnel from major hospitals to attend the meeting in the name of academic seminars to be held to be responsible for all their transportation, food and accommodation costs. In fact, three or four days of seminars, they are actually only one or two hours in the conference room, and they are traveling at the same time, and they can get some souvenirs before the end. Think about it, can these people not repay their favor after returning to the unit?"

"We encountered this situation when we were purchasing equipment." Luo Xiangfei commented. After saying that, he smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "Actually, I have accepted some such invitations. I can fully feel the other party's intention."

"That's right." Feng Xiaochen nodded and continued, "For example, some companies will set up some study abroad funds under various names to support students from developing countries to study abroad in Western countries. For those officials whose children are seeking opportunities to study abroad, if they can get such fund support for their children, then what's the harm in trading with some national interests?"

Luo Xiangfei's face looked a little ugly, and he said, "The situation you mentioned is really serious in our country. I know that there are children of department-level cadres in several ministries and commissions who have children of department-level cadres who have received foreign funding to study abroad. Now when you think about it, there may be a real exchange of interests."
