Chapter 298 Your name
After the Cold Dew, time strides forward to the Frost Descent.

Before the beginning of winter, the cold current from Siberia surged across the gentle grasslands and deserts of Inner Mongolia, swept across western and northern China, and flooded towards the warm south.

It seemed as if overnight, the withered yellow leaves became the dominant color of the small town of Jiangchuan. Black charcoal smoke and white wood smoke were floating in the sky above the city and villages, as if silently telling people: the cold winter of 1994 has arrived!

During these cold days, Longjingyuan Industrial Park entered a period of vigorous construction.

As early as the beginning of October, after all the formalities were completed, the first phase of the project was launched. After several consultations between Li Jilin and the Fengyang County Government, a local construction team was hired to dig the foundation. In addition to the staff apartments and office buildings, the rest of the buildings were large flat-floor factories, including food preparation workshops, freezing workshops, canning workshops, bulk auxiliary material warehouses, material warehouses, finished product warehouses, cold storage, screening workshop sheds, boiler rooms, etc.

Li Jilin reported to Zhang Yunqi that the project would be completed within three months, and by then the production line would have been almost delivered. In the early spring of next year, the three production lines would be put into operation at the same time, which would improve the overall production capacity.

At the same time, the two breeding production base operation companies initiated by Yunxi Village Cooperative have been registered and are wholly owned by Yunxi Village Cooperative. This means that Liansheng holds 60% of the shares and all members of Yunxi Village hold 40% of the shares. Currently, Li Jilin and Zhang Haijun are eagerly recruiting relevant talents all over the world.

The company name was chosen by Zhang Yunqi: Dafeng.

He also asked Liansheng to register several trademarks, including Juewei and Zhangji Jar Meat…

Of course, while managing these major directions, Zhang Yunqi did not fall behind in his studies. He was in his third year of high school, and there were exams of all sizes coming up every week. There were piles of simulation test questions that he could never finish, and his days were like being chased by a bitch.

Every morning at dawn, when Zhang Yunqi was running to exercise, he could always see students doing morning reading in every corner of the school. In order not to affect each other, they would keep a proper distance and be evenly distributed, like the fixed pattern set by a chess player with a strong sense of chess.

At this time, Zhang Yunqi would think of his previous life.

Most of them were like him in his previous life, boarding students from the countryside, living in the city alone, going from point A to point B every day. All they could do was study, study desperately. Because if they failed to get into college, they would have to go back to the countryside to feed pigs. Therefore, students gathered even in the middle of the night, under street lights, and in toilets. Rote memorization became the top priority for these poor rural students.

Among them, Zhang Yunqi often saw Wang Jinshan, her sister Chunlan’s junior high school classmate.

The young man studies very hard.

That morning, after finishing the morning exercises, Zhang Yunqi, Wang Xiaokai and Yang Wei walked back to the teaching building arm in arm. When they followed the crowd to the exit of the football field, they met Li Xiaoman.

"Zhang Yunqi." The girl stood there alone and waved to Zhang Yunqi. Her tall figure was clearly visible. She had long, soft, straight hair draped over her shoulders. She was wearing a hooded cotton coat. Her face, surrounded by snow-white fluff, had an unconscious, proud smile.

Wang Xiaokai, Tian Zhuangzhuang and Yang Wei saw this scene, swallowed their saliva and left tactfully.

Zhang Yunqi walked over and asked, "What's the matter?"

Li Xiaoman took out an envelope and handed it over: "Here you go."

Zhang Yunqi glanced at the envelope, then glanced at the students who were coming and going and casting mixed glances at him: "What is this?"

Li Xiaoman said: "I owe you 1500 yuan."

Zhang Yunqi said "Oh".

In fact, so much time had passed that he had already forgotten about it.

1500 yuan was nothing to him, but it was a huge sum of money for high school students of that era. So he didn't care whether Li Xiaoman could give him the money. When he paid for the accommodation for students in Jinping Mining Area, he never thought of helping Li Xiaoman, so he didn't take it to heart.

Zhang Yunqi didn't know how Li Xiaoman had accumulated such a large sum of money. Of course, considering her family situation, it shouldn't be difficult.

Li Xiaoman said, "It's almost time for class. Let's go back to the classroom together?"

Zhang Yunqi nodded: "Let's go."

Li Xiaoman walked in front, her long hair rising and falling, with an intellectuality that did not match her age, and said in a contemptuous tone: "I heard from Zhao Chengming that you opened a company outside?"

Some people in the school knew about this, and some didn't. Zhao Chengming knew about it, so it must have been his biological father, Zhao Jianqiang. Zhang Yunqi had no interest in spreading the news, but he didn't think there was anything to hide, so he nodded and said yes.

Li Xiaoman smiled and said, "It's really unexpected that our school has produced a genius."

Zhang Yunqi put his hands in his pockets and said, "Why does this sound a bit ironic? To put it bluntly, I am just trying to make a living."

Li Xiaoman turned her head and said, "I don't know if you are overthinking or too modest. I am telling the truth. Although we haven't met much, I always feel that you are different from other boys."

Zhang Yunqi smiled and said, "This is not something to be surprised about. Everyone is different. You are different today than you were yesterday."

Li Xiaoman smiled and shook her head: "You are confusing concepts. It seems that you are not interested in discussing this topic, but I still want to say that on the surface, you are a pragmatist, kind on the outside, but tough on the inside. You will not act without seeing the rabbit, such as Lin Zihao, whose family was destroyed by you. At the same time, you have a broad vision and are never limited to textbook knowledge. You can observe a situation or phenomenon from different angles and perspectives, and you can put it into practice."

At this point, Li Xiaoman turned her head to look at Zhang Yunqi: "But some of the things you have done make me feel that there is a realistic idealist living deep in your heart. I read the news report about you in the Xiangnan Daily. The things you have done are quite sentimental for the country and the people. I still remember a sentence you said for those poor farmers in that report: We cannot ignore those who are hit just because the whole country is running forward. What a big picture and big feelings. In comparison, those of us who are studying hard in school all day will pale in comparison." After hearing this evaluation, Zhang Yunqi was really surprised. Regardless of whether what Li Xiaoman said was right or not, it at least showed that this girl, with whom he was not very close, had carefully investigated and inquired about him.

This made Zhang Yunqi feel a little uncomfortable.

To some extent, he has an absolute sense of superiority over his peers of the same generation. This sense of superiority comes from his rich life experience and insight into the future.

The girl in front of him was very good. Her rational thinking and ability to think could put her peers to shame. At the same time, she was full of curiosity about unknown people and things, like someone who specialized in pulling people's underwear. Zhang Yunqi didn't want her to see her butt naked: "How should I put it? For a person to live an interesting life, it is not only about eating well and dressing well, but also about having many things that cannot be explained."

Li Xiaoman nodded: "This is the point. To be honest, I think there are many things worth learning from you. If I have any questions in the future, can I often ask you for advice? By the way, Yufei and I are good friends. I know you have a good relationship."

Although Li Xiaoman's tone was very sincere, Zhang Yunqi was not impressed, although he didn't know what he was resisting: "Forget about asking for advice. I'm the same as you. If I have questions, I'll read the book and ask the teacher if I don't understand. If there's nothing else, I'll go back to class first."

"You don't seem to want to talk to me more?"

"You are beautiful as hell, and I am handsome as hell. We should be careful about the impact in public." Zhang Yunqi felt that he had won back a point in language. Most of the time, he was just such a petty citizen. He could take a huge risk to propose to Mayor Yang Jiarong to set up a state-owned holding company to touch the cheese of vested interests, but he was not interested in talking about those seemingly metaphysical things that were meaningless to himself. He had suffered and seen all kinds of life, and he was tired of those grand and magnificent words.

It is better for people to live a down-to-earth life.

Just as he reached the entrance of the teaching building, Zhang Yunqi waved goodbye and turned to go upstairs to the classroom.

Li Xiaoman looked at his back, wanting to say something but stopping herself.

******
In the afternoon, a piece of gossip spread in Class 156 that Li Xiaoman handed a love letter to Zhang Yunqi.

Many people witnessed that scene. Although they had no idea what was in the envelope that Li Xiaoman gave to Zhang Yunqi, young people have a strong ability to associate ideas. They knew that there must be a letter in the envelope. When a girl sends a letter to a boy, it is most likely a love letter.

Logical. This gossip spread like wildfire.

Zhang Yunqi got a headache when he heard this.

He didn’t care about this before. It was normal for a brilliant person to have some scandals.

Now... Zhang Yunqi glanced at Chu Jian who was sitting in front of him. He hadn't looked back at him for two classes.

Ever since the last time the geography teacher Zhou Hu came to criticize him for having someone else do his homework, his emotions when they first met were somewhat affected. Now that such a big piece of gossip has popped up, he wondered what this little girl would think.

During the physical education class, Zhang Yunqi ran to the convenience store to buy a bottle of Huiyuan juice. When he returned to the classroom, he saw a person sitting under the window, holding a book "Collection of Real Questions of Senior High School Mathematics" and writing something. It was an early winter afternoon, with a cold wind. The leaves hanging outside the window were golden, and the sunlight shining in enveloped the girl. Time seemed to have stopped.

Zhang Yunqi came over and asked, "Are you thirsty?"

She was stunned for a moment when she first saw him, and her heart was beating fast for some reason. She closed the book of real questions, but she didn't notice that a corner of the letter paper was left out. Seeing that Zhang Yunqi was just staring at her, she seemed to be relieved and said, "I'm not thirsty."

Zhang Yunqi took out some juice and handed it to Chu Jian: "But I've already bought you a bottle of juice, do you want to drink it?"

"Don't want to drink?"

"Then I'll feed you."

"You are thick-skinned." Chu Jian's heart was pounding. She glanced at the door and saw that there was no one there, so she reached out to take the juice.

Zhang Yunqi took the juice back and stuffed it into his clothes: "It's cold, I'll warm it up for you."

I couldn't help but laugh when I first saw her.

The early winter sunshine came in through the window, and the girl's clear little face was white with a hint of red.

"The clouds are rising..."

"Ok?"

"it's nothing."

"Why are you calling my name?"

"I just wanted to call your name."
