Volume 8 Final Chapter Chapter 1124 Hugging the thigh
After looking at the houses in Yangcheng, Nan Yi and his companions moved to Shenzhen.
After spending a day looking at all the houses, Nan Yi began to visit relatives and friends.
First, he visited Ge Cuizhu who had already retired. She was retired due to her age. The directors of Hualiang did not want to see her stay in the position of chairman for even one more day. After some open and secret struggles, Ge Cuizhu retired and the chairman was replaced by someone from Hualiang. Shi Guofeng, Ge Cuizhu's former secretary, became vice chairman.
Ge Cuizhu is in good spirits and no longer has to worry about work. She takes care of her grandson at home. From time to time, she is in the mood to rummage through the trash cans next to her rental house in the urban village and pick up some bottles and cans thrown away by white-collar workers to supplement the family income.
When Nan Yi arrived, he happened to see Ge Cuizhu sighing beside the car. When she was moving junk out of the trunk, she accidentally scratched the back of the car, leaving a big cut.
After looking at the cut, Nan Yi said gloatingly, "Haha, the cut is really big. It will cost at least 800 to fix it. Auntie, you have wasted at least two months."
"Don't gloat over other people's misfortunes. I can earn fifteen thousand a month."
"You're just bragging. How much time do you have to go out and pick them up every day? Fifteen thousand. If it's true, I'll go with you."
"Come with me tomorrow and I'll pick it up for you to see."
"Okay, let's go. I'm a good rag picker. Back in the West City, I could earn three or four dollars a day. My monthly income was equal to that of six or seven young workers."
"Nan Yi, you are really good at bragging. Come in and have some tea."
Ge Cuizhu chuckled and led Nan Yi into the living room of the villa. In a short while, the Kung Fu tea was ready.
The two chatted while drinking tea. Ge Cuizhu told her about the interesting things that happened after she retired, and Nan Yi talked about his recent situation. The topic was plain and warm. The two had known each other for nearly 30 years and had never had a gap, which was very rare.
Finally, Ge Cuizhu told Nan Yi that Xian Yaodong was not in good health and might die soon. The sudden news made Nan Yi sad and also made him go to Wenchangwei.
In the afternoon, the sun was warm, but Wenchangwei seemed strange everywhere.
The pier was nowhere to be found, the green riverbank had disappeared, and all that was left was piled stones. The sunlight in the village was fragmented, and the towering buildings broke the sunlight into pieces, with a circle of light connecting a piece of shaded land. The kissing buildings and commercial housing were scattered, and you couldn't see the roof unless you looked up.
Standing beside the pavilion that should be the pier, Nan Yi called up the three-dimensional map of Wenchangwei from the depths of his memory, marked the location, crossed an unfamiliar bridge, walked along the alley in the southeast direction, bypassed the series of high-rise buildings, and saw the familiar small gate of Wenchangwei in the low-lying area surrounded by high-rise buildings.
Looking around and then at the elementary school, Nan Yi frowned deeply. Most of the sunlight in the elementary school was blocked. The original yang energy turned into the pervasive yin energy. The children studying there must be very depressed.
Nan Yi was extremely disappointed. Wenchangwei was not small and there was plenty of vacant land for building houses. Even if this primary school area was missed, it would not prevent the villagers from becoming billionaires. They were really obsessed with money and could not get out of it.
Giving up the idea of visiting Xian Yaodong, Nan Yi returned to the pier, stood there for a while, and left in a huff.
…
One day after returning to the capital, Nan Yi received a call from Ye Qi, saying that there was a bureau, and the people who went there were some people from the institute who were in the film and television circles. Most of them were people Nan Yi was familiar with. Some of them said crookedly that Nan Batian had not shown up for a long time, and asked if he didn't care about his buddies anymore because of his wealth and fame, and so on.
Being urged by such words, Nan Yi felt a little embarrassed not to go.
Just go. When I asked for the address, I found out it was a courtyard house. No one knew who it belonged to. These people were all doing well and had the ability to build a courtyard.
When Nan Yi arrived at the place, he saw that most of the people there were familiar faces. Some of them he had drunk with more than 20 years ago, some he had eaten hotpot with more than 10 years ago, some he had chatted with a few months ago, some he had only seen on TV, and some...
"Grandpa Nan."
You don’t know this!
"Um."
Nan Yi nodded to Chen Wenxi who was coming towards him, then greeted everyone else, getting to know them whether he knew them or not.
It starts with those of similar age, and then goes down to the younger generation.
"Nan Yi, hello Taozi, you sing well. I bought several of your albums, all genuine."
Seeing Nan Yi's outstretched right hand, Chen Tao quickly stood up and shook it, "Hello, Master Nan, I'm grateful for it, I'm grateful for it."
Nan Yi waved his hand and said with a smile: "Seriously, the high notes are sweet, the middle notes are accurate, and the low notes are powerful. In a word... Oh, what was that? I suddenly can't remember it."
"It's transparent, Chen Yongren said."
"Haha, I'm embarrassed. I don't understand music. I haven't borrowed all the words yet." Nan Yi followed up with his left hand and patted Chen Tao's wrist. "Save a few tickets for the next concert, the most expensive ones."
"Thank you, thank you." Chen Tao pointed at the girl next to him, "Bai Xue, my wife, we've got the marriage certificate...Bai Xue!"
When the girl named Bai Xue heard the greeting, she stood up and smiled at Nan Yi with her thick lips puffed up, "Hello, Master Nan."
"Well, I've seen the play you two acted in, and I didn't expect that you two are a couple in the play and in real life as well. Congratulations, Taozi, let me know when we have the wedding banquet."
"Of course, of course."
After saying hello, Nan Yi went back to sit next to Ye Qi and listened to other people chatting. He regarded the greetings as just a formality, but the girl named Bai Xue kept her eyes on him.
Master Nan, being called Master in such an occasion, he must be very capable, Bai Xue began to have some thoughts.
Bai Xue, a young actress who had just graduated from the drama academy, was introduced to the crew of "Youth" by a male best friend on the eve of graduation. After staying in the crew for a while, she figured it out and realized that these guys in the crew were all from the Beijing circle.
In Beijing, the two and a half most popular circles related to the entertainment industry are the Beijing circle and the Northwest circle. The remaining half is the Wangbei Gang, because it has a close relationship with the Beijing circle, and the artists under Wangbei Film and Television all have a characteristic of "not much goings on", and there has not been any explosive news, so it can only be counted as half.
Since Bai Xue has entered the industry, she naturally wants to become famous. If a newcomer wants to make a name for herself, she must find a backer. Needless to say, the most cost-effective way is to integrate into the Beijing circle.
So, after the crew learned about Chen Tao's background, she ignored the fact that Chen Tao already had a girlfriend at the time and went straight to pursue him, asking him about his well-being every day and using the play to express her love for him. Within a few days, the fake play became real and the two of them really became a couple.
As the saying goes, when a man pursues a woman, there's a mountain between them; when a woman pursues a man, there's a layer of gauze between them. When it comes to love, as long as the woman makes an effort, the pace of progress will naturally not be slow. This is not ridiculous, and she has already made it into the Beijing circle.
But then again, Taozi's appearance is a little ugly, and Bai Xue is only a few months over the legal minimum marriage age, which kills the beauty of marrying for love. For the time being, she no longer cares about those who are willing to die for him, and is only thinking about grabbing more opportunities to get promoted. So, she has started to set her sights on Nan Yi.
Bai Xue followed Nan Yi's face with her eyes, and she poked Chen Tao's chest with a finger, "Hey, Taozi, who is this Master Nan?"
Chen Tao, who was smoking, turned around and said, "I don't know. I saw him at a bureau last time. I only heard others call him Master Nan and say he was a very powerful person."
"Not from the courtyard?"
"Not sure." Chen Tao thought for a moment and added, "I guess I investigated it with Director Ye and the others before."
"What a loser! He looks so uneven, like a pile of shit. He can't even be relied upon for serious matters. Why was I so blind to choose this half-immortal?" Bai Xue muttered to herself, continuing to stare at Nan Yi, thinking about how to get closer to him and get to know him better.
"Can I trade stocks now?" While others were bragging, Ye Qi tilted his head and asked Nan Yi.
"Why are you thinking about stock trading?"
"I've been hearing people say that the stock market is doing well these days, and my family's assets are getting thinner and thinner, so I thought about making some money in the stock market."
Nan Yi waved his hand, "Don't worry about it. Since everyone knows that the stock market makes money, it will start to stop making money. If you rush in now, it's hard to say how much you can make, and the risk of being stuck is not small."
"No chance?" Ye Qi was a little unwilling.
"There are opportunities, but they are not for you, Weight. The world is different now than it was in the past. You can't make money just by courage. Don't think about unreliable things. Do what you are good at."
" You don't work either?"
"When did you ever hear me talk about stock trading?"
"Hehe, it's rare that there are things you, Nan Batian, can't do."
"In 1976, I worked as an assistant to a veterinarian. I wandered around the countryside every day, climbing mountains and crossing rivers. I was exhausted like a veterinarian. After working for half a year, I finally learned a unique skill from the veterinarian. Do you want me to show it to you?"
"Come on, as soon as you stick your butt out, I know what you're going to do. Do you want to castrate a pig or a chicken?"
"Oh, great! You know such a professional term as 'castration of pigs'. Have you tried it? Let me see, is it the left or the right? They didn't castrate both of them, did they?"
"Beating sex."
The two chatted for a while, and Nan Yi pointed to a little girl next to Wang Lu and said, "That girl and the gangster are eating in the same trough?"
"Which girl?"
"Why are you pretending to be a grandson? Cosplay Man Sung-han."
"Nan Batian, you are so mean. It's just that they look alike. There are so many people who look alike..."
"When did you get this disease? If you fart, just fart. Why take off your pants? Just give it to me."
"Didn't you see I was wearing leather pants?"
"I heard that you like reminiscing about ." Nan Yi glanced at Ye Qi's pants, "Next time, remember to change them to open-crotch ones so that your childhood will always be with you. If you are shy, sew a sunflower on the front."
Ye Qi was furious and asked, "Want to investigate?"
Nan Yi showed disdain on his face, "You are so old, but you still talk about fighting. Have you forgotten that autumn of 1974, when I challenged your entire courtyard alone at the gate of your courtyard? It was because you all were cowards that you labeled me the Southern Tyrant."
"I say, Nan Batian, why don't you tell the truth? I remember that when my brother came out that year, you ran away."
"Nonsense, how can I not run? Your brother is the only good one in your hospital, the rest are just talking nonsense."
"Including me?"
Nan Yi smacked his lips and said, "You're still okay. You didn't yell your brother's name when you were beaten. Hey, I say, you're talking nonsense and you haven't answered my question yet."
“Not yet…”
"That's going to happen soon. The world will go back to normal. People who don't do anything productive will be popular again."
"The hoodlums also have strengths that girls like." Ye Qi said meaningfully.
"I understand. Look at these legs..." Looking at Wang Jue who was walking over, Nan Yi deliberately raised his voice a little, "They are short and thick. They must be very firm if you hold them."
"Who are you talking about?"
