1366: Chapter 664: The Rainy Season at Seventeen_3 1366: Chapter 664: The Rainy Season at Seventeen_3 Liu JinXue was aware that Boss Yan prioritized his wife over work, so he didn’t say much and agreed right away.
Having hung up the call, Yan Fei imdiately dialed Yang Hongqi to tell him he’d pick him up for the journey back that evening.
Yang Hongqi agreed crisply—he had been antsy these past couple of days like a prowling ant, anxiously waiting for this call!
After a lengthy, reluctant farewell with his wife, not leaving until she shooed him out the door, Yan Fei, still unwilling, headed to Agricultural University to pick up Yang Hongqi first.
Yang Hongqi had been standing at the university gate clutching his parcel, waiting for quite a while.
The mont Yan Fei got out of the car and called him, Yang Hongqi suddenly felt that, under the streetlights, the car and the man looked sowhat familiar—actually, he had a rather vivid mory of the first ti he t Yan Fei.
A young man, jotting down Japanese addresses, driving a car that at a glance seed quite prestigious, was bound to leave a lasting impression.
But their last eting had been in daylight, and Yang Hongqi, his spirits high at the ti, hadn’t paid attention to what car was parked in front of the dormitory.
It had never crossed his mind that the person looking to recruit him was the sa one he’d pegged as a classmate preparing to go to Japan “to add a brick to their construction.”
Now, under the streetlights once again in the evening, it was the sa incongruously young man driving the sa black car that exuded grandeur, which instantly awakened all of Yang Hongqi’s mories.
Deep down, Yang Hongqi rembered the car seed grandiose, but as for what make it was, looking at the logo with the three-pointed star in the circle, he couldn’t even na the brand—spending four years in Provincial City and not recognizing car brands wasn’t unusual at all.
Most students could hardly imagine that within a few years, these wide streets of Provincial City would be gridlocked daily, and they themselves would beco victims of the traffic congestion.
Therefore, once he got into the car, Yang Hongqi fell sowhat silent.
After driving through a few intersections and waiting at a red light, he couldn’t resist speaking up, “Boss Yan, have we t before?”
Actually, having recalled everything once again in the car, he was quite certain of it, but still held a sliver of hope that his mory was mistaken—over the past two days, he had also reached out to Wan City classmates to inquire about the Morning Glory Enterprise of Sancha River Village, and learned quite a few things.
After all, Yan Fei’s nonstop investnt in advertising had made the Morning Glory Beef Jerky ads quite familiar to the students who went ho for the holidays.
By now, Yang Hongqi had filled in many blanks in his mind.
If Boss Yan was truly the person he’d encountered back then, then those addresses he had taken note of, could it be for the purpose of learning from the advanced practices of overseas labs…
Regardless, to call a local businessman who’s doing quite well a worshiper of the foreign, seeking work abroad, wouldn’t that be a bit far-fetched?
Yan Fei started to smile, “You’ve rembered, huh?
I can see that you’re quite patriotic.”
With his last illusion shattered, Yang Hongqi’s face beca hot with embarrassnt, realizing that the other had recognized him long ago.
Luckily, it was rather dark in the car, which allowed him to continue, “I’m sorry, Boss.
I thought you were a classmate preparing for a job post-graduation.”
“No problem, no problem!” Yan Fei laughed heartily.
“This is also a kind of fate, right?
By the way, Professor He said he wanted you to pursue your master’s degree.
Why don’t you consider it?
With a higher degree, you’ll have more opportunities in the future and can contribute more to your hotown.”
“I can’t wait,” replied Yang Hongqi imdiately as soon as Yan Fei ntioned hotown, temporarily forgetting the heat on his face.
“My hotown is an old revolutionary area, where the elders who once fought in wars are all getting older.
Most of them have passed away, and frankly, not many of the remaining are left with much ti.”
“Boss Yan, don’t laugh at for this.
Actually, I just want to, as much as possible, give them so good days while they’re still alive.
Even if that goal isn’t achieved, at least I could earn a salary soon.
Then, even just bringing them out to see around would be fine, letting them personally experience how the land they once shed blood for is changing day by day with an ever-changing landscape…”
Yang Hongqi spoke fluently, evidently this thought had taken deep root in his heart.
However, he hadn’t shared these thoughts with others before.
Like he said, you wouldn’t laugh at —for so young people today, harboring such an ideal seems a bit…
out of touch with the tis.
Yan Fei certainly wouldn’t laugh; he shook his head, “Why would I laugh at you?
I admire that ideal…
You don’t know this, but my family derives from blacksmiths.
I grew up in my grandfather’s blacksmith shop, and what he was most proud of was that our family had made many Ghost Head Knives, the big knives used to behead the enemy…
He was just an unlucky man, always strict on , and it wasn’t until he got old that I started to make sothing of our family business…”
Yang Hongqi was silent for a mont before speaking softly, “One desires to provide for his parents, but they may not be there to enjoy it…
Boss Yan, now that you’re leading the villagers to prosperity, I think your grandfather would be very happy if he knew.”
Yan Fei laughed out loud, “He definitely knows; I used to report back to him all the ti.
But let’s not talk about this.
I’ll give Senior Brother Liu a call, and you two can chat later on, striving to achieve so results as soon as possible.
If it’s possible, I’ll sponsor a trip for you to take the elders from your hotown out for sightseeing…”
Though it was just a promise, Yang Hongqi was deeply touched, “Rest assured, Boss, I will definitely do my best, and from now on, I’ll follow your lead.”
“Don’t follow my lead.
In the lab, it’s just you and Senior Brother Liu, work it out between yourselves.
If you can’t agree, then pursue your own initiatives.
In any case, as long as you do your job well, that’s what matters.
We are a private enterprise; this lab is just getting started and doesn’t have much for good work yet,” Yan Fei said while dialing the phone.
“After all, we’re still young, there’s plenty of ti to do great things, no rush!”
