As he wandered around Tsim Sha Tsui and Central, Qiao Tao saw a different world, a place he had never seen before that belonged to a megacity in his mind.

The prosperity of Xiangjiang gave him the most intuitive visual impact, making him clearly aware of the gap between the capital and Xiangjiang, and also realized why he had seen so many Xiangjiang people always looking down on people with their heads held high.

At this time, China had not yet joined the WTO, but had just shown the world a series of achievements it had made after more than 20 years of development.

The real take-off and let the world change its view of China, let the Chinese people put down their inferiority, really raise their heads, and face those former contempt, need to wait until after joining the WTO and after the Olympic Games.

After all, his rapid economic growth is a thin foundation in the eyes of foreigners, and a little investment can stimulate economic development, and only when the people really get rich, not thinking about going out, but attracting a steady stream of foreigners to enter, is the time to really start to show their strength.

"If I hadn't known that I was in Xiangjiang at the moment, I would have almost made the decision to emigrate, it's really prosperous here, no wonder so many people would rather spend a few years taking the TOEFL to study abroad.

This is simply two worlds, compared with Xiangjiang, Beijing is a small county, brother, you say how long it will take us to catch up with Xiangjiang. ”

Sitting in a delicately decorated Lu restaurant not far from Yaliao Street, Qiao Tao couldn't help but sigh when he thought about the flow of people he saw in just a few hours in the afternoon, the torrent of steel and even countless brand-name stores and the constant shoppers inside.

"It doesn't take long, a few years, the speed of the Shenzhen market has now been launched in the whole land of China, and after a few years, if you look back, you will find that this is no longer the country you know.

In order to improve their lives, people in towns and villages began to go out in large numbers and flow into big cities, and began to contribute to the construction of the city with their hard-working hands.

At that time, you will see the strong enthusiasm for changing the lives of the Chinese people, and I have done research to break the system of big pot rice, so that more people start to fend for themselves, and force them to make changes, and these people, together with the people with urban hukou, will create an unprecedented China. ”

Regarding Qiao Tao's words to himself, as if asking him and asking himself, George thought for a while and said.

It was a time that he had personally experienced, and he knew what kind of passion those people would have in order to change themselves, a passion that was not seen in any country in Europe or the United States.

In later life, he had real estate and more than one million savings, and when he often wrote his travelogues and miscellaneous reviews on the Internet in the dead of night, he was not very embarrassed when he recalled the efforts he made to change himself.

A pair of hands and wisdom have changed the former one who went out barefoot on a rainy day, for fear of tarnishing the only pair or two pairs of shoes, and he has his own deep feelings about the struggle of those years.

After George woke up in his own contemplation, he saw that Qiao Tao had been staring at him, with indescribable tenderness and excitement in his eyes, and George felt a chill when he saw it.

"I'm telling you, I like women, I don't like men, you like men, I'll call you to arrange it later. ”

"Poof,,,,,,,, brother, what do you want?"

George said a sentence that often appeared in later film and television dramas, so that Qiao Tao couldn't help but squirt out the water that he had not swallowed in his mouth.

"I was thinking, if your words were heard by my grandfather and his old man, I don't know how happy I would be.

Over the years, the most my grandfather said in front of me was that I believe that the country will become better, and people are already making their own efforts to make their lives better, and our generation is the one who will build the country better.

I didn't expect you to have more confidence than grandpa, you two are really bosom friends.

When I heard this kind of words in front of you, I felt that my grandfather was by my side, and it seemed that his tireless words had taken root in my mind. ”

After taking the tissue handed over by George and wiping his mouth, he said with a little crying and laughing.

"While the food is still going to take some time, you tell me what is the matter with appearing in Xiangjiang to find me?"

Hearing Qiao Tao mention his grandfather, George would think of his mother, who was often alone in a daze, looking at a photo of a dilapidated house with mountains and rivers and a wooden house that appeared in a daze.

You can see that the picture has a special meaning to the place he went to, and of course, in retrospect, George thinks that that place is probably the same place where his mother lived.

It's just that his mother doesn't tell him or ask, and he doesn't know what kind of place it is.

If he knew, George might have gone there and taken some pictures to show his mother.

"It's nothing, it's just that my dad asked me to ask you, can you go to the capital during the New Year, grandparents are old, you didn't dare to tell grandma about this in Xiangjiang, for fear that she would have a physical problem when she was excited, only grandpa knew, dad said that grandpa had known that you were in Xiangjiang for a long time, but he didn't say it until he received a call from Uncle Xu to confirm your identity.

Dad said that grandpa didn't say anything, but when he received the news that you were in Xiangjiang, he stood alone at the door of the main house, on crutches in the cold wind, looking at the tree at the door for several hours.

Before that, someone from the liaison office wanted to approach you and contact you, but I didn't know why it didn't work out, and it wasn't until you contacted Deputy General Manager Li to seek cooperation that you really confirmed your news.

These are the things my dad told me to pass on to you. ”

Hearing George's words, Qiao Tao thought about it, and without any concealment, he gave George all the original words of Qiao Zhiguo.

As for what kind of decision George would make, he didn't know, it had only been half a day since they met, and the things he made were always meaningful, unexpected, and could not be judged by the thoughts of young people, so he could only wait for George's decision.

"Weite, please go to McDonald's over there and buy a hamburger and cola chicken leg for two people and send it to that silver Toyota, just say I asked for it, and the rest is yours. ”

After the waiter brought the food up, George glanced at the silver Toyota that had been following him for the time when he had rolled up the car window, and he couldn't find it if he hadn't looked closely, and handed the waiter the only three hundred-dollar Hong Kong papers in his wallet.

At first, George didn't pay much attention to it, until the two days when the car followed him to the yacht club, to Repulse Bay, to the office building of Chinese Real Estate, and now he has been following here, and he is still poking his head out to look at the Lu Restaurant, George knows that this should be the person who has been following him to Xiangjiang.

"Who is that?"
