"Although I can't tell you what the mysterious reward is yet, but it's what I promised you last time." Wang Chong said with a smile.
"What did you promise me last time?" Simei blinked her big black and white eyes, and her thick black eyelashes trembled slightly, and then her eyes lit up: "You mean to go to the garment factory? What about being a model?”
Wang Zhong nodded and said, "You've been looking forward to going, haven't you? Now that the college entrance examination is over, you can rest for two days and then go to the garment factory to find your Aunt Suqin. She will help you make arrangements."
"Thank you, uncle!" After saying this, the girl leaned over and kissed Wang Zhong on the face, and ran away immediately after the kiss.
"This girl!" Wang Zhong looked at her leaving back and couldn't help but shook his head.
As the saying goes, a country is easy to change, but a person's nature is hard to change. Wang Zhong has already done everything he can. He can't keep Qiao Simei by his side all the time. If the bad relationship between her and Qi Chenggang really continues, Wang Zhong will not be able to do anything. There is something to be said.
Before Qi Chenggang was dismissed from the army, Wang Zhong couldn't take action against a soldier guarding the border. Although this man was not very good and had no moral integrity, his identity was a real talisman.
Wang Zhong could only try his best to send Qiao Simei away and ask her to follow Ma Suqin to kill time. Although the cultural classes could come to an end for the time being, the vocal and dance classes had to be picked up again. After all, during this period, in order to In preparation for the college entrance examination, Qiao Simei spent all her energy on cultural classes, which she had put aside for a while.
As the saying goes, learning is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat.
Qiao Simei's future fate is ultimately in her own hands. If she really wants to plunge into Qi Chenggang's quagmire, even if Wang Zhong is the Great Luo Immortal, there will be nothing he can do to her.
The only one giving Wang Zhong a headache now is Ma Suqin. After getting along for so many years, they naturally have feelings for each other, but Ma Suqin is also a person who accepts death. Now she is actively alienating Wang Zhong. Wang Zhong is not the kind of stalker. After several attempts to persuade her to no avail, I was too lazy to waste any more time on her.
Within a few days, Qiqi's exam was over. Unlike Simei, who had wisdom and confidence in her chest, Qiqi didn't look good and had no confidence at all.
Wang Zhong patted his shoulder and comforted him: "It doesn't matter, no matter how you do in the exam, as long as you work hard, try it, and have no regrets."
"Uncle, I..." Qiqi held the shoulder strap of her schoolbag with both hands, looking a little embarrassed and hesitated to speak.
"Don't think so much. The exam has already been completed. What the result will be is not something we should worry about. Let's go, let's go to your second brother's place. Your second brother spent a lot of money today and got one specially for you. Big table of delicious food.”
Qiqi raised her head and glanced at Wang Zhong again, and saw Wang Zhong smiling brightly and sincerely. The tension and worry in her heart quietly dissipated for some reason. The stone that had been hanging fell to the ground, and a smile climbed onto her face.
······
Early the next morning, Wang Zhong, dressed in martial arts uniform, had arrived outside the Qiao family's old house.
"Uncle? Why so early?" Qiqi was a little surprised to see Wang Zhong opening the door. In the past, they would meet at the alley for morning exercises, because Wang Zhong's home was closer to the alley, and it was rare to visit him early in the morning.
"Summer vacation is such a long time, so we can't waste it. I'm here to tell you that starting from today, you will add an hour to your morning exercise time every morning. After running, we will go to the martial arts field and I will teach you something new."
"Uncle, wait a minute, I'll pack it up!" Qiqi had obviously just gotten up and was still wearing slippers.
A few minutes later, Wang Zhong ran in front, Qiqi behind, and the uncle and nephew ran all the way towards the city wall.
An hour later, the two appeared on the martial arts training ground behind the piano room.
Qiqi stood with his hands behind his back, his feet shoulder-width apart, his hands behind his back and his back straight.
"Do you know why I have asked you to practice boxing since you were young?" Wang Zhong asked, pacing in front.
"My uncle was afraid that we would be bullied, so he taught us how to practice boxing for self-defense," Qiqi said.
Wang Zhongdao: "That's right, but not entirely right."
"Then why?" Qiqi was puzzled.
Wang Zhongdao: "Being a human being is the same as practicing boxing. When practicing boxing, we need to have steady steps and a straight body. We must persist in it every day, for ten or even decades. It is the same as being a human being. The thoughts in our hearts must be correct. , Keep your body upright, your steps steady, your feet on the ground, one step at a time.”
Qi Qi nodded as if she understood, but she didn't know whether she understood it or not.
Wang Zhongdao: "You have been weak since you were a child, so I taught you Baduanjin and Tai Chi, and let you run every morning to exercise, and supplemented it with diet. It has been more than ten years now. Although you are not able to do it due to your innate deficiencies, Completely make up for it, but it is not enough to make up for it. However, this is only limited to when you are young. When you get older, these innate deficiencies will gradually be revealed. If you want to live a long time, scientific and appropriate exercise, A regular eating routine is essential.”
"Yeah!" Qiqi nodded cautiously. He has known since he was a child that he is different from others. His uncle often asks his third sister to make various medicines for him. Sometimes, even the meals he eats will be filled with traditional Chinese medicine. Especially my uncle often talks about food supplements.
"How many ways have you learned from Sanli as a thirty-sixth-level grappler?"
Qiqi said: "I just learned four or five moves."
Wang Dian nodded and said: "From today on, I will teach you all the remaining moves of the grappler, and I will also teach you a set of Tai Chi breathing techniques. You must practice diligently in the future and cannot slack off. .”
"I will practice seriously!"
July was approaching in a blink of an eye. On a whim, Wang Zhong planned to go to his own theater to watch it. Just after he came out of the magazine, a girl wearing a floral skirt, a sun umbrella, and sunglasses appeared in front of him.
"Editor-in-Chief Wang, it seems it's not time to get off work at your magazine, right?" As soon as Wen Ju'an saw Wang Zhong, he immediately took off his sunglasses and walked to Wang Zhong faster, with a smile on his face.
"Why are you here?" Over the past few years, Wen Ju'an has become more and more graceful, and he is a little less immature than before, and a little more mature and intellectual.
Skillfully, he stepped forward to hold Wang Zhong's arm. A charming smile appeared on Wen Ju'an's delicate face: "I'm here to play with you!"
Wang Zhong looked at it for a moment, and alarm bells rang in his heart. Something was getting more and more wrong with this girl.
Wang Zhong said: "If you don't prepare for the postgraduate entrance examination, why are you here to play with me?"
"I decided not to take the postgraduate entrance examination!" Wen Ju'an said.
"Not taking the postgraduate entrance examination?" Wang Zhong turned to look at her in surprise: "Why?"
"I've thought about it, I want to work at your magazine, and I want to be an editor."
"Then you should go find your uncle. He is in charge of the magazine. I am only responsible for writing and reviewing manuscripts. It doesn't matter if I say anything about it."
"I told my uncle a long time ago, but he said that there is no shortage of editors in the magazine now, but you still need an assistant. He also said that I can come to the magazine if I want, but I can only work as an assistant for you." Wen Ju'an thought. Without even thinking about it, he sold his uncle directly.
If Wen Qinghua heard this, he would give her a hard look and say something heartless right away.
"Be my assistant?" Wang Zhong looked at the serious-looking Wen Ju'an with some suspicion: "It would be too humiliating to be an assistant to an idle guy like me."
"Uncle Wang, you are too humble. Who are you? A nationally famous writer, a member of our Jinling Writers Association, who has written so many best-selling books, who are looking forward to being your assistant?" Everyone has queued up from here to the Xuanwu Lake. If my uncle hadn’t thought that I was his niece, it wouldn’t be my turn.”
"Eccentric!" Wang Zhong shook his head and said. In fact, Wen Ju'an's temperament is somewhat similar to Sanli's. He is very quiet and elegant. Only in front of a few people will he show his childlike temperament.
"That's just right. I'll get off work early and you can go back and rest." Wang Zhong deliberately joked with her.
"That won't work!" Unexpectedly, this girl held Wang Zhong's arm and held on: "Uncle said that after I become your assistant, I will stay with you to see and learn more. I can't be late and leave early, and I can't complain. I’m tired, it’s not time to get off work yet.”
"You girl!" Faced with this girl's persistent pursuit, Wang Zhong was helpless but also enjoyed it.
"There's really nothing I can do about you. Forget it, I happen to be going to the cinema. If you don't mind the heat, just go with me and see your dad by the way."
"Thank you, Uncle Xiao Wang." The smile on Wen Ju'an's face became even bigger, as bright as a blooming sunflower, and the hand holding Wang Zhong's arm tightened, as if he was afraid that Wang Zhong would run away. , such a close contact, the faint fragrance of the girl's body floated into Wang Zhong's mouth and nose, causing Wang Zhong to take a few more glances.
"Uncle Wang, when are you going to buy a car? Look at my uncle, he has been buying it for several years!" On the back seat of the bicycle, Wen Ju'an hugged Wang Zhong's waist and sat sideways, swinging his little feet. , blowing the breeze, with a bright smile on his face.
"There's no place to stop after buying it!" Wang Zhong said: "It's not like you don't know what's going on at my house."
The area near Wang Chong's home is somewhat similar to the large courtyards in Yanjing. Usually, even bicycles can only be pushed around in the alleys, let alone four-wheeled cars.
"Why do I remember that Sanli said you bought a house?" Wen Ju'an asked.
"What kind of house do I want to buy? I bought a piece of land by Xuanwu Lake and asked Beifang to help with the construction. I plan to build a small two-story house there to retire."
Wen Ju'an couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Uncle Wang, you are still so young, but you are already thinking about taking care of yourself in old age!"
"This time, when you are one year old, you have to think about things when you are ten years old. When you are ten years old, you have to think about things when you are twenty years old. I am already in my thirties now, so I can't think about the future!"
"You are not even married, and you don't even have a wife. What are you talking about in the future? Are you planning to die alone?"
"You girl, you really dare to say anything." Wang Zhong shook his head angrily, thinking of Ma Suqin, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
"The truth will inevitably be harsh."
When they arrived at the place, they put the bicycle in place. Wen Ju'an, who was waiting next to him, immediately stepped forward and took Wang Zhong's hand.
Wang Zhong coughed twice: "Ahem, Ju'an, you are not a child anymore. This is not good."
"I don't mind. What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that I will eat you?" Wen Ju'an pulled Wang Zhong and walked inside: "It's so hot outside, let's go in quickly."
While they were talking, the two of them had already entered the cinema. Today's cinema is no longer the small video store it used to be.
The spacious and renovated lobby has many tables, chairs and benches for customers to rest and wait.
"Brother Wang Zhong?" As soon as Wang Zhong and Wen Ju'an entered the door, they were greeted with sparrow eyes dressed in suits and white-collar workers: "Brother Wang Zhong, why are you here?"
"Let me take a look, why are you here? Aren't you in charge of Jiangning County now? Why are you here?" Wang Zhong was also a little surprised. The sparrow eyes are the ones who have always been in love with Sanli in the original work. , his family also lives near the Drum Tower. Daxiao, Erqiang, Niuye and others grew up together, and he is considered one of Niuye's few followers.
Although he has worked hard at Sanli for more than ten years, he has never done anything out of the ordinary or messed with anyone. On the contrary, he has also helped the Qiao family. At the end of the plot, he went south to Shencheng to do business, and never did anything else. According to the news, although his academic qualifications are not high, he is able to endure hardships, is willing to work, and has good character. When Niu Ye started to build a video studio, this kid followed him. Now he is responsible for Tiansheng Cinema in Jiangning County.
And this is the Tiansheng main store.
"I came here to see Brother Niu Ye. I heard that a batch of new films have been released in Xiangjiang recently. I came to inquire about the news." Ma Qiaoyan rubbed his head and said with a simple smile.
"How is business lately?" Wang Zhong asked.
"It's okay. It's not as good as here at the main store, but it's not too bad. I make a lot of profit every month." Sparrow Eyes still smiled.
Wang Zhong patted him on the shoulder and said: "Work hard, the better the business, the more dividends you will get during the Chinese New Year. We men are nothing more than starting a family and starting a business. Having money will give us confidence and waist." Also hard.”
Wang Zhong was responsible for this Xie branch in the form of shares plus wages. When he first opened the branch, he had an opportunity to invest in it and add shares. The movie theater is actually not very valuable. The real value is the land under the movie theater. , and the locations chosen for these cinemas are all prime locations, close to the highway, with convenient transportation. In a few years, they can be converted into shopping malls plus cinemas, and that is called making money.
Sparrow Eyes only smiled and did not answer.
"If you have anything to do, go ahead and do your work. I'll just take a look."
"Okay! Then I'm going to find Brother Niu Ye." Sparrow smiled and waved away.
"What a big change!" Wen Ju'an next to him suddenly sighed with emotion.
Wang Zhongdao: "Are you talking about people or here?"
"All of them!" Wen Ju'an looked around and nodded: "This decoration is really good, beautiful and atmospheric." Suddenly he thought of something, turned to look at Wang Zhong, and said with some surprise: "Little Uncle Wang , weren’t you the one who designed the decoration here?”
"Guessed it right, but unfortunately there is no reward!"
The two walked around the cinema. In addition to the lobby and two screening rooms on the first floor, there was also a place next to the lobby filled with tapes, videos and various books.
Because it was daytime and a working day, there were not many people watching movies, but there were a few people reading and buying cassettes and videos.
