Chapter 198
For the sake of happiness
In autumn, just when Director Sun was about to continue sending Wang Weidong to exchange for cod, he was urgently stopped by his superiors.
Wang Weidong asked Section Chief Xu, but Section Chief Xu just asked him to wait. It took another two months until the end of the year before Section Chief Xu told him that it was impossible to trade in a short time, and he let Wang Weidong move freely.
Since there was nothing to do, Wang Weidong took Chen Jihong and the children to travel to Guangdong Province, where he planned to spend the New Year's Day of 1992.
In fact, the main purpose of Wang Weidong's trip to the south this time was to visit Hong Kong Island and meet Ou Xiaoyang's eldest brother Ou Xiaojun.
Chen Jihong was very happy during this period. The family of three stayed in Harbin. Wang Weidong rarely went out and always stayed at home.
If Chen Jihong was a Northeastern girl who could talk and was fierce, she would have suppressed Wang Weidong long ago. It would be great to live like this. With the money in her family, she could live comfortably for the rest of her life.
It was not easy to get to Hong Kong Island in the early 1990s. It was impossible for Wang Weidong to take his family of three there and complete the procedures in a short time.
Wang Weidong had no choice but to call Ou Xiaojun in Guangshi.
The person who answered the phone was a woman who spoke Hong Kong and Wang Weidong couldn't understand it at all.
"Hey, is this Ou Xiaojun's phone number? I'm looking for Mr. Ou Xiaojun!" Wang Weidong said into the phone.
After half a minute, Wang Weidong heard a man's voice.
"Hey, who are you?"
"Brother Xiaojun? I'm Wang Weidong! I've arrived in Guangzhou. I originally wanted to visit Hong Kong Island to meet you, but now I won't be able to get there for a while. Can you come to Guangzhou? I'll treat you to dinner!" Wang Weidong said
.
To be honest, he was feeling uneasy when he made this request. Ou Xiaojun might refuse it outright, or find some excuse to evade it.
The phone was silent for a while and then Ou Xiaojun on the other side said: "Okay, tell me the hotel where you are staying now, and I will find you there in three days!"
Wang Weidong was overjoyed.
"I'm staying at the Yuexiu Hotel! Brother Xiaojun, I'll be waiting for you here!" Wang Weidong said.
Ou Xiaojun put down the phone and looked at the woman sitting next to him.
The woman curled her bright red lips and said, "You people are so thick-skinned. In the past few years, knowing that you are here, how many people have called you to ask for help? This person went so far as to ask you to go to Guangzhou.
Meet him!"
"You don't know, this man is my brother's good friend. When he and my brother were working together, each of them had a fortune of four to five million," Ou Xiaojun said.
The woman couldn't help but laugh.
"Four to five million? That's a lot. He must be a millionaire over there, right?" the woman said disdainfully.
"You have always been doing business in the south these years and don't understand the situation. It is not easy for the two of them to earn hundreds of thousands in the Northeast. Because of this incident, I still look at Xiaoyang with admiration, but Xiaoyang is separated from this Wang Weidong
Later, Xiao Yang couldn't do it anymore, it seems that Wang Weidong is still the one who can do it." Ou Xiaojun said.
"I went to Guangzhou to meet him because I wanted to know about the current situation in Northeast China. After all, I haven't been back for many years," Ou Xiaojun explained.
In the early 1990s, it was rare to see women wearing lipstick on Northeast Street, but on the streets of Guangzhou, many women had bleeding lips.
Wang Weidong forced Chen Jihong to buy two tubes of lipstick in the store, but it was the first time Chen Jihong did this kind of thing, and she clumsily applied it to a bloody mouth.
Wang Weidong took her into a beauty salon and asked people inside to apply make-up to Chen Jihong, and let Chen Jihong learn how to do make-up.
Ou Xiaojun arrived in Guangzhou the next night.
He was wearing white silk trousers and a plaid shirt and looked particularly young.
Wang Weidong was stunned when he saw Ou Xiaojun's current appearance. This was completely different from the Ou Xiaojun in his impression who was simply wearing a military coat.
As if he could read Wang Weidong's thoughts, Ou Xiaojun said with a smile: "No way, you can't wear too tacky clothes in Hong Kong Island, otherwise others will look down on you. In fact, I'm not used to this either."
Letting Chen Jihong and her children stay in the hotel room, Wang Weidong took Ou Xiaojun to a nearby bar and ordered a few bottles of beer and a fruit plate.
After taking a sip of beer, Wang Weidong said: "I heard from Xiaoyang a few months ago that you were in Hong Kong Island. I just have time now, so I came here."
Ou Xiaojun smiled and nodded.
Since his younger brother Xiaoyang gave his phone number to Wang Weidong, he must also have told him about his divorce.
"Xiaoyang told me on the phone that he has not been doing well in Beijing these past few years. What have you been doing these past few years?" Ou Xiaojun asked.
"I was also fooling around, and I went to study abroad at Xiaobenzi to learn Japanese for two years." Wang Weidong replied.
"You studied abroad for two years and learned Japanese?" Ou Xiaojun said in disbelief.
"Yes, I stayed in Hokkaido for two years!" Wang Weidong said with a smile.
"So what are you doing in Guangdong Province this time? Do you want to do business in the south?" Ou Xiaojun asked.
"No, Xiaoyang and I did the cod business together in the past few years, so we made a lot of friends there and were familiar with the situation there, so I still wanted to do business there," Wang Weidong replied.
Hearing Wang Weidong's answer, Ou Xiaojun breathed a sigh of relief and was full of curiosity.
Now changes have taken place in the big northern country. People who used to do business have withdrawn one after another, but Wang Weidong wanted to dive in at this time.
The reason he was relieved was that his wife's family now runs a small business in Hong Kong Island, and now both Ou Xiaojun and his wife are working in this company.
When this woman fell in love with him, there was actually a reason why she fell in love with him because of his family background.
Nowadays, Hong Kong businessmen attach great importance to this aspect. Although Ou Xiaojun's family background is not very helpful to his wife's family company, it is still very honorable to speak out.
"Has Xiaoyang told you about my divorce?" Ou Xiaojun asked.
Wang Weidong nodded.
"Actually, it was mainly because of my parents that I married my original daughter-in-law. My daughter-in-law's parents were old comrades-in-arms of my parents. When I was in elementary school, my parents made an agreement half-jokingly, so the relationship between the two of them was not good.
, and then she said she was unwilling to come to Shenzhen to work, and gradually I became close to my current wife, and that’s how it happened." Ou Xiaojun said.
What he didn't say was that the relationship between the two was indifferent before the divorce, but after the divorce, Ou Xiaojun often thought of that woman, and of course he missed his daughter even more.
There is a huge ideological gap between a person who has received so many years of orthodox ideological education in the Northeast and a woman from Hong Kong Island, and their living habits are also very different.
It wasn't obvious when they were not married, but after living together, Ou Xiaojun found it difficult to adapt in every aspect.
