That evening in the small park, Ye Haodong, who had planned to take the initiative, mustered up the courage and was about to find out to Jiang Lan about their future relationship, but before he could speak, Jiang Lan had already kissed his lips passionately and boldly. It turned out that in the corridor not far from them, another pair of young men and women who looked younger than them were doing the same thing, and the boldness of those two people also gave Jiang Lan, who had always been assertive, dare to love and hate, the courage to express her feelings.

After kissing this kiss full of courage, Jiang Lan's face turned red with shame, and her pink skin seemed to be dripping blood. In close contact, Ye Haodong found that Jiang Lan's skin was exceptionally delicate and tender, and the shyness of the girl who was immersed in her first love was extremely moving, all of which made Ye Haodong, the first brother in love, excited. He wanted to say something to express his excitement at this moment, but after thinking about it for a long time, he only remembered this sentence: "I forgot everything about the movie, what should your brother do when you go home and ask you?" ”

Jiang Lan was a little weird and funny: "My brother also cares if I watch a movie with my classmates, if he is not sick, I am sick, are you a thief, afraid that my brother will know about our affairs and clean you up?" ”

Ye Haodong was relieved: "I'm really a little stunned by your brother's stinky face." ”

Jiang Lan blurted out: "Then you still dare to come to me on an appointment, and you still have ......" only half of the words, but she couldn't continue because she remembered that the kiss just now was her own initiative.

Ye Haodong smiled: "What's the matter?" Do you dare to kiss you? Just now, we kissed each other, but I was a victim, and you forcibly kissed me. ”

Jiang Lan was ashamed and annoyed, and grabbed Ye Haodong's arm: "Okay, you stinky boy, take advantage of it and sell well, see if I go home for a while and don't tell my brother that you bullied me." ”

Ye Haodong's bold temperament makes him really afraid of almost nothing, but there are many people he cares about, his mother, brothers, and uncles who helped their family a lot after his father's death, these people can be regarded as his weakness. Jiang Wei's kindness to him and Jiang Wei's upright character made Ye Haodong respect Jiang Wei very much. If this girl shakes the matter of the two of them to Jiang Wei at this time, knowing that it is difficult for Jiang Wei to change his attitude towards him for the time being, Ye Haodong will not have to be embarrassed to go into the cracks.

"Don't make a fuss, I'll be serious with you, we really can't let your brother know about it for the time being, I heard him talk about you at dinner that day, he said that his work made him run outside all the year round, and the family depends on you to take care of it, not only to read good books by yourself, but also to divide your energy to take care of your mother, for a girl of your age, it is so difficult that you almost dare not think that you can do it, but what makes your brother proudest is that you not only did it, but also did it very well. Let him be able to devote himself to his work without scruples in the past two years, so in his heart, your importance is still above your future sister-in-law, if he knew that I, a little rascal, would dare to beat his precious sister's idea, he would have to eat me raw. ”

"Are you scared? Or did you not even think about sharing my strengths? What are your plans? Don't you tell me about my brother and us in the future? When you asked me out, did you think that if I also have a crush on you, then what should we do in the future to dispel my brother's prejudice against you? ”

Jiang Lan is different from the average little girl who grew up under the care of her parents, she is a girl who can endure hardships and independently assume most of the responsibilities of a family, she is smart, independent, rational and responsible, and her attitude towards feelings is also to dare to love and hate. Ye Haodong's hesitation made her think a lot sensitively.

"The future is too far, who can tell, but I know that I just want to be with you now, I can have a few youths in my life, a few first loves, I cherish this rare relationship, as for your brother, I am more afraid that he will misunderstand that I just want to take advantage of you, or approach you with ulterior motives."

Jiang Lan was very dissatisfied: "Hmph! I should have known that a little ruffian like you is unreliable, and what you mean by this is that you have no confidence in the future of the two of us, or that you have no confidence in your feelings for me. ”

Ye Haodong took Jiang Lan's hand: "I believe that my feelings for you have no expiration date, but nothing in this world is static, including feelings, but also the status and environment of people, in the future, your status will change with the improvement of your ability, and there will be all kinds of suitors around you, they may be very good, maybe you will feel that one of them is more suitable for you than me, so I can only think about cherishing the present, not thinking about the future." ”

Jiang Lan: "Are you worried that after I am admitted to university, we will not be a good match?" ”

Ye Haodong didn't say anything, he had nothing to worry about, he just knew much more about this world than Jiang Lan. Ye Haodong let out a long sigh. Then he smiled and pulled Jiang Lan into his arms and hugged him tightly.

"As long as you don't change, I won't change my mind anyway, whether it's now or in the future, we have to cherish it, if my brother doesn't agree with us together, I'll scare him into running away from home with you, I don't care, I'll tell him the truth when I go home tonight, don't worry, my brother loves me the most, but he has relied on me for everything since he was a child, and he will definitely agree to our affairs." Sweetly snuggled in Ye Haodong's arms, Jiang Lan's heart was like a deer crashing into one.

Ye Haodong thought that Ming people don't do dark things, and they should also let Jiang Wei know their relationship, his feelings for Jiang Lan are very pure, and he has no crooked hearts, since he has a clear conscience, where does he come from? So he knew that this time Jiang Wei was only afraid that he would never rely on this girl again, but he didn't continue to stop Jiang Lan.

Sending Jiang Lan home, when she was parting at the entrance of the alley, Jiang Lan caught Ye Haodong off guard again. suddenly turned around and hugged Ye Haodong and kissed him again. This time it is different from the last dragonfly dotting water, the tone intersects, the fragrant tongue is entangled, and the short but very authentic French lingering. When Ye Haodong was a little confused, she suddenly let go of her arms, turned around and ran home. Only Ye Haodong was left alone to reminisce about the giggling laughter like a copper bell, and the unique sweet taste of the girl between the lips and the mouth.

Spring Festival in 1995. The new year has begun, and it has been a while since the four members of the Ye family moved into a new house. Ye Haodong's two elder brothers also knew that it was the younger brother who partnered with someone to open a factory and made money and bought this house. The two elder brothers are sincerely happy for the achievements of their younger brother and younger brother, but at the same time they can't help but feel a little ashamed. After her mother Wang Lin took her three sons to burn paper and incense for her husband, Ye Haodong lit a string of 20,000 rings of 'earth red' downstairs, and in the lively sound of firecrackers, the Ye family opened the prelude to the new year.

There was a group photo of the couple in the bedroom, Wang Lin looked at the photo, thinking about the despair of parting from life and death two years ago, and never expected to live a life like today two years later. The attitude adopted by the husband towards his younger son during his lifetime to be strict with virtue and not to learn is undoubtedly wise in today's view. Ye Haodong loved to fight when he was young, and Wang Lin often worried about whether he would be like his grandfather in the future and spend most of his life in prison. Looking at it now, this kid is doing serious business now, and I don't see him causing any more trouble, recruiting people to the family to find trouble, it seems that he is really sensible, and he can't follow his grandfather's old path anymore.

During the Spring Festival, Xinlu Pulp Mill has a week's holiday. Before the vacation, Ye Haodong gave everyone a bonus. Five thousand workers each. Zhong Zhimin, like Li Weidong and Poly Gang, each has 20,000 yuan, and now the monthly salary of the three of them has exceeded 5,000 yuan, even in a big city, this is also a treatment that only senior white-collar workers can get.

1995 is destined to be the most important year in Ye Haodong's life journey. At the beginning of the new year, the ambitious Ye Haodong had a bigger plan in mind and was planning to implement it step by step. Now the equipment in the factory has increased to three sets, although the expansion of production capacity from the new full horsepower is very fast, but the pulp is not sold in a barrel, since the New Year's Day of 95, the price of pulp has risen all the way, and now it has reached 600 US dollars per ton, Ye Haodong has further plans in his heart, but no one has told him for the time being. It is only required that each link ignore the sales link, continue to produce at full capacity, and stock up more pulp.

This year, he has received his ID card, and now the legal representative of the factory has been replaced by himself. Don't worry about causing trouble to his mother, Ye Haodong will be more bold in doing things, and the plan of swallowing the snake and elephant brewing in his heart has also entered the specific operation stage step by step.

On the second day of the second month of the lunar calendar, on the day when the dragon raised its head, Ye Haodong took Zhong Zhimin to the estuary paper mill located in the upper reaches of the Shahe River. The purpose of his visit today was to discuss the merger at the invitation of the district government.

After the liberation of the People's Republic of China, the Hekou Paper Mill now has 68 employees, 232 retirees and 9 managers. The equipment processing plant and the land are worth more than 30 million fixed assets. Due to poor management, managers are greedy and have insufficient understanding of the market, since the year before last blindly introduced a set of German-made papermaking equipment and pollution treatment equipment, all of a sudden owed a huge loan to the bank at the same time also put their own liquidity firmly, due to the initial product positioning is not accurate, the market response is average, and the speed of capital withdrawal is very slow. Without liquidity, raw materials cannot be secured. As a result, the factory has been basically in a state of semi-shutdown since the beginning of the previous year. After the second half of last year, it was completely discontinued. All the workers have been laid off and are at home, receiving 128 yuan for basic living expenses.

Zhong Zhimin saw the current situation of the Hekou Factory, anxious in his heart, he had repeatedly suggested that Ye Haodong give the pulp to the Hekou Paper Mill on credit to help them tide over the difficulties, but every time Ye Haodong said: "Brother Zhong, I am here to open a factory, the purpose is to make money, now the Hekou Factory has a backlog of products, and the market demand is almost none, so we just give them the pulp for free, and the things they continue to produce are just a pile of waste paper in the warehouse, and helping them will let more than a dozen of us drink the northwest wind together." ”

After the New Year, an amazing news spread in the paper industry in the steel city. During the Chinese New Year, because they couldn't pay the heating bills, the employees of the Hekou plant, who had a cold year in the cold winter months, could no longer bear it. As a result, 300 retired and in-service employees of the paper mill staged a sit-in in front of the city government on the first day of work after the new year, asking the government departments to come up with a reform plan to completely solve the current problems of the Hekou plant and protect the basic interests of the workers! The angry mayor immediately convened an on-site meeting, and the heads of various government departments gathered, and the leaders of Xinguang District, where the Hekou plant is located, were also urgently transferred. The city government decided that the Xinguang District Party Committee and District Government would temporarily take over the Hekou Plant, requiring the Xinguang District Government to come up with a specific reform implementation plan within the first month, and promising to temporarily coordinate by the city government to provide free heating to these workers' families. In the end, a winter subsidy of 60,000 yuan was allocated from the municipal treasury and distributed to the workers who were 'making trouble', which could be regarded as comforting everyone's emotions.

Affected by this incident, the Xinguang District Government worked very quickly this time, and came up with a plan for the reform of the Hekou Plant in a very short period of time, and distributed it to units and individuals who were likely and capable of participating in the plan before the first month. Ye Haodong, as the owner of the largest private waste recycling enterprise in Steel City under the jurisdiction of Xinguang District, and also a participant in the paper industry, was naturally invited.
