"The Shenzhen market is ahead. Li, do you have any kind of..." David scratched his hair in distress, "The old saying goes, the closer you are to your hometown, the more joy and excitement! What a beautiful emotion! !"
Li Zheng glanced at him with a funny look, "It means being close to the hometown, it means that the closer you are to your hometown, the more timid you are, and you lack courage, lest something unfortunate happen to your hometown."
"Oh, the person who said that must be a pessimist." David frowned in dissatisfaction.
Liang Zhe, who had just come out of the boat, happened to see the scene where the two of them "talked very happily", the air pressure around his body suddenly dropped, and a struggling look appeared on his face.
Liang Zhe didn't like water. When his parents had an accident when he was a child, the search and rescue personnel pointed to the vast sea and told him that his parents had fallen here and could never be found again.
More than a decade later, he himself nearly died at sea. Therefore, Liang Zhe has a physical and psychological disgust for the sparkling water.
Seeing that David put his hand on Li Zheng's shoulder, Liang Zhe's lips pursed tightly into a straight line, and he quickly walked to the deck under the astonished eyes of his subordinates.
David was talking vigorously, only to feel that his body was moved to the side, and he turned back with a dissatisfied expression. I saw Mr. Liang squeezed in between him and Li Zheng, looking at him coldly.
David touched the back of his neck subconsciously, and then showed a puzzled expression, "Dear Mr. Liang, what's the matter with you?"
David, the executive vice president of Roche Asia, has a respectful and polite attitude towards this local snake in Hong Kong. Liang's position in Hong Kong is like Spencer and Howard of the United Kingdom. For this kind of deep-rooted old-fashioned family, their wage earners must not be offended.
Liang Zhe let out a cold snort in his nose, glanced at David with disdain, and then slowly turned away.
When his eyes fell to the sea outside the railing, his face paled for a moment.
David Zhang Er was puzzled. When did he offend this distinguished gentleman? The little gentleman looked at him as if... like a raptor competing for a mate in a zoo, yes, that's what it feels like!
spouse? He couldn't help but move his gaze to Li Zheng.
David was startled by his own whims, and shook his golden head vigorously. He must have worked so hard to deal with documents these past few days to have such a ridiculous delusion.
Li Zheng keenly sensed the nervousness on Liang Zhe's body, his eyes swept across Liang Zhe's left hand holding the railing with exposed blue veins, and his slightly pale complexion, he stood up slightly, raised his right hand to block the Liang Zhe's eyes.
"Don't look," he said softly.
Liang Zhe felt the warm touch from the contact between his eyes and Li Zheng's palm, his tightly pursed lips suddenly relaxed, he put his hand on Li Zheng's, and didn't move for a long time.
Li Zheng was surprised by Liang Zhe's actions, and his mouth grew slightly. Rao was that no matter how slow his reaction was and how low his emotional intelligence was, he felt something was wrong. He moved his palm uneasily, but the hand covering the back of his hand pressed even tighter.
And Liang Zhe, whose vision was blocked by his palm, couldn't see Li Zheng's current expression. He just subconsciously didn't want to move.
As time passed, Li Zheng's expression changed from surprise to embarrassment, and then slowly, his cheeks began to turn red, followed by his neck.
Li Zheng only felt that the blood all over his body was rushing towards his head, and his clear head suddenly became confused, like a machine with an overused motor, which seemed to be broken at any time when it was hot.
He took a deep breath, the icy sea breeze rushing down his nose straight to his brain, he pulled down his palm forcefully, then turned around to face the sea calmly, and said covertly, "It's just a short period of time. In a few months, the Shenzhen market has changed a lot."
David blinked his blue eyes, looked at Mr. Liang, who was aggrieved in loss, and then looked at Li Zheng, who looked into the distance and seemed to be pointing the country with a serious face.
He always felt like something was wrong
But obviously, David's IQ and EQ were not enough for him to understand what happened between his friend Li Zheng and this honorable Mr. Liang in just a few minutes.
He covered the dazzling sunlight with his hands and looked out in the direction Li Zheng pointed.
"A big change? Li, why didn't I notice it?"
Li Zheng froze for a moment, and then he glanced at David, who was puzzled, and Liang Zhe, who was staring at him. He coughed dryly, "Look at the sky over there."
"That's the direction of Shenzhen City. I remember that when I left, there were not so many long chimneys with black smoke in Shenzhen." This is true. When Li Zheng left, there were obviously not so many long chimneys. .
David exclaimed in surprise.
"Yes, what a nostalgic sight. The first industrial revolution! The great transformation of Britain from a European power into a world-class empire on which the sun never sets. I've seen London back then in my textbooks. Huge factories, long chimneys, London shrouded in black fog. Oh! This is what the deep market looks like now!"
David said with excitement.
"Li, I'm very excited. You know what? I have a hunch that I seem to be witnessing a great history! China is waking up, this great power in ancient history is slowly waking up! Oh, I'm so excited. I have to remember, I'm going to get the camera!"
David clutched his chest and danced incoherently. Under the astonished gazes of the passengers beside him, he trotted towards the middle of the boat, thinking that he was going back to his room to get the camera.
Li Zheng was also taken aback by David's reaction. He was supposed to respond casually, but he didn't want to cause David to express such emotion. Thinking about what David just said, Li Zheng's expression could not help but become solemn. .
He glanced at Liang Zhe, who was still peeking at him, and his mood suddenly became very good.
Li Zheng said, "David is right, I'm very lucky."
"What?" Liang Zhe looked at him.
Li Zheng's eyes smiled gently, he patted Liang Zhe's arm, "Don't look down, look forward, that land is my motherland, it is going through a huge change, I am very lucky and honored To see and experience this glorious history."
The sun shone on Li Zheng's body, making him seem to have a dazzling halo around him, and even the strands of his hair would glow.
Liang Zhe was silent for a long time, he looked at the huge piece of land not far away.
It is much bigger than Xiangjiang. Standing on the deck, Liang Zhe could see the chimneys towering straight into the clouds, emitting annoying black smoke. This is not a pleasant sight.
But for some reason, Liang Zhe had an indescribable feeling for this piece of land he had never set foot on.
Warm, somber.
"Well, I'm lucky too," he said suddenly.
Li Zheng looked up at him in surprise, and what caught his eye was a pair of smiling eyes.
It turns out... Liang Zhe's eyes can also laugh.
"Oh, here, here, here I am! Fortunately, when I went back to Japan last time, I bought the latest camera. What a wise decision." David ran over with a huge camera.
"Lee, help me put up the camera stand together!"
Li Zheng…
During the day, the ship was moving very fast. About half an hour later, Li Zheng and others had already seen the port of China.
Different from the scene in which the bustling tourists to Hong Kong flooded the port in later generations, the Shenzhen Port in 1983 seemed a bit deserted because the political situation of Hong Kong and the mainland was still unclear.
When the ship was about to dock, there was a heavy screeching sound. At the port, a soldier-like person trotted over, holding a red flag to direct the time and direction of the ship's docking.
Qiu Zhengye, the vice governor of Haidong Province, and the leaders of the Shennan region have been sitting in the port office for a long time. Hearing the sound of the steamship, Qiu Zhengye drank tea for a while, and the tea bowl was placed heavily on it. on the table.
"Is it the ship?" he asked calmly.
The port official looked at the watch on his wrist and nodded again and again, "It should be right, there are only so many departures in the Xiangjiang and Shennan areas, and this one arrives half an hour early!"
Qiu Zhengye stood up abruptly when he heard the words, and the rest of the provincial and regional officials in the room also cheered and all stood up. The scene where more than 20 people stood up at the same time was not very imposing.
"Well, let's go out then." He took the lead and walked towards the door.
The leader of the Shennan region walked behind. When he passed by the port officials, he turned his head slightly and said to the port officials: "Let the people be gentle, be diligent, and let foreign friends feel the warmth of spring. !"
Hearing this, the port officials immediately stood up straight, "Resolutely implement the leadership's instructions!"
The ship slowly docked under the command of the soldiers, the chains were slowly lowered, and the huge iron plate fell heavily on one side.
The passengers on the boat in twos and threes walked along the iron plate to the shore one after another. In 1983, the people who were able to travel between Xiangjiang and the mainland were not simple people.
They were well-dressed and arrogant. When they saw a group of people headed by Qiu Zhengye, some passengers couldn't help being stunned, apparently recognizing Qiu Zhengye and others.
"Governor Qiu?" A middle-aged man with a pot belly walked up to Qiu Zhengye with a smile in Cantonese with a Xiangjiang accent.
He glanced at the familiar faces behind Qiu Zhengye, "Xu Shuji is also here, are you?"
Before Qiu Zhengye became the deputy governor in charge of health in Haidong Province, he was in charge of investment promotion in the Shennan region. The potbellied middle-aged man was the one he knew at that time.
A Hong Kong businessman with bad moral character.
