1987 My Era

Chapter 372: Things in the Study
In the following days, after Li Wang called Li Xi over, the two sisters began to frequently contact the local government of Shanghai, and finally allocated a piece of land in Pudong.

When Li Heng finished reading the agreement signed with the government, he was speechless for a long time: "80 acres of land, I never dared to think that you actually took it."

Well, not only was the location of the factory unexpected, but Li Xi was also very good at playing tricks. He directly overturned the previous discussion between Li Heng and Li Wang, and contacted the local government in the name of investing 5000 million to build a factory.

Li Wang curled his lips and said proudly: "Although Pudong belongs to Shanghai, it is a veritable rural suburb. 80 acres may look large, but in fact, it is at most the size of a large factory building."

Li Heng asked Li Xi: "Sister Xi, this 5000 million funds."

Li Xi seemed to know what he was thinking and immediately gave him a reassurance:

"I have read the relevant laws of the mainland recently and found many loopholes in the economic regulation and management. Don't worry, I will help you with the fund matters and there will be no illegal activities."

After graduating from Oxford University, Li Xi was able to become a well-known barrister in Hong Kong in just a few years, and became a guest of honor of major wealthy families, all thanks to her outstanding business abilities. Hearing her say this, Li Heng was instantly relieved.

After deciding on the factory, Li Xi thought about it and asked the two, "Do you really want to go the mid- to high-end route?"

Li Heng and Li Wang looked at each other, and then looked at Li Xi together.

Li Xi said: "There is nothing wrong with pursuing a mid- to high-end route, and your market operation plan is quite promising, but the domestic economy may not be able to support you to go far."

Li Heng had run a company in his previous life, so he understood some of the things she said right away. "Sister Xi's idea is to do both?"

Li Xi gave him an admiring look, "With the further reform and opening up of the mainland, many Hong Kong families have begun to target the mainland market. They have done a lot of research on this. I have had the honor of talking to them about some of it. With the current consumption power of the domestic people, no matter which industry, only by taking the mass route can you have a greater chance of survival.

So I suggest you create an independent luxury brand to enter the high-end market. Then Anta will focus on the mid-range market and take advantage of the mass market to reap the extra money in their hands.”

Seeing that Li Heng was silent, Li Xi asked, "You look down on mid-range brands?"

Li Heng shook his head: "Not really. In fact, I have thought about what you said. It's just a matter of sentiment."

"Sentiment?" The two sisters looked at each other and said in unison.

“Yes, it’s the sentiment.”

In later generations, the domestic high-end market was basically monopolized by big foreign brands. Li Heng was, to some extent, an old angry young man with a patriotic heart. He would not set foot in the market if he did not want to, but since he had already set foot in the market, of course he wanted to go for the high-end market.

He was so young, how could he have such sentiments? The two sisters didn't quite understand, but seeing her frowning and thinking silently, they sat aside and didn't disturb her.

After a long time, Li Heng's frown gradually relaxed. "Okay, for long-term considerations, I can't be too stubborn and accept Sister Xi's advice. But for the low-end market, I still stick to my original idea and don't get involved or try to get everything."

In fact, the original goal is not much different from the original goal, which is to enter the mid-to-high-end market. It’s just that according to Li Xi’s idea, it’s better to distinguish between the mid-range and high-end, and set up an independent luxury brand to focus on the high-end market.

The three of them discussed it, and Li Xi made another suggestion: "For luxury brands, I think it's better to use your pinyin "Li-heng". Many big foreign brands are named like this. It's easy to remember and has commemorative significance.

Moreover, you are a legendary writer appointed by the People's Daily. You are so famous in China and your readers are from all walks of life. Using this name can bring huge economic benefits."

Li Heng turned to Li Wang.

Li Wang stated: "You are the company's major shareholder, and we are blood relatives. As long as it is beneficial to the company, you don't have to worry about me. I have no objection."

Li Heng pondered for a while and said, "Okay, then use my name. It seems I can't keep a low profile for too long, so I have to hurry up and make the instrumental album."

Li Xi smiled and said, "That's a good idea. I forgot for a moment that you are a great composer. If you can produce a few more world-famous songs like 'Original Landscape of Hometown', we won't need to do much promotion. You are a luxury brand. You represent the height, depth and breadth of the market. If you take the low-end route, your music fans may not be happy to accept it."

After everything was agreed upon, Li Heng transferred 40 yuan to the company account.

At this time, Li Wang suddenly proposed to change the company's equity contract, "I'll give you 3%, and you take 70%."

Li Heng was puzzled. Is there anyone who would voluntarily give up his interests?
Li Wang said frankly: "You planned the marketing route perfectly, you paid more money, and now it is under your name. We are brothers, so we should settle accounts clearly. As your cousin, I cannot take advantage of you. These three points are just shares under your name, so don't think it's too little."

Seeing that Li Heng was about to refuse, Li Xi said, "Li Heng, you may not understand your cousin's temper. She has been known for her loyalty since she was a child. Besides, with your current reputation, it is not too much to exchange for 3 points of shares. If you can take advantage of this trend to really develop the market, she will benefit."

Under the persuasion of the two sisters, Li Heng finally accepted 70% of the shares of the new company.

After the company's contract was changed, the follow-up matters were left to Li Wang.

As agreed, in addition to participating in company meetings every Tuesday and Saturday, Li Heng also devoted his main energy to the creation of "White Deer Plain".

He is in a tight schedule now, as the Seoul Olympics will be held in mid-September, and he has to complete two things before that.

The first is to finish the creation of "White Deer Plain".

The second is to release a pure music album.

These two seemingly unrelated things are, to some extent, accumulating strength for the launch of the new brand. With the blessing of many halos, it strives to become an overnight success and leave a deep-rooted and high-end impression in the minds of consumers.

"Li Heng, your letter."

After Liu Yue left, the task of receiving and sending letters for Statistics Class 1 fell to Zhou Min. The girl came in from outside the classroom and handed him three letters.

Li Heng took it and took a look. The first one was from Zijin, but it contained a photo of her biological mother Tian Run'e.

The second letter was from Yang Yingwen. In the letter, Old Rag said that he wanted to meet him formally during the summer vacation to discuss the "New Oriental" money-making model he proposed in the letter.

When Li Heng saw the third letter, he was confused. The handwriting on the envelope was actually Liu Yue's.

Didn’t this girl go to America? Why is she writing a letter to herself?
Out of curiosity, he opened it and became even more confused.

There is not much content, just one paragraph, and it can be summed up in one sentence: Is my aunt's food delicious?

Holding the letter, Li Heng fell into deep thought, wondering if Liu Yue was testing him or knew something.
Seeing teacher Yu Shuheng coming over from the podium, Li Heng put away the three letters and looked up and asked, "Teacher, do you want to talk to me about something?"

Yu Shuheng glanced at the boys around him who were listening attentively, and walked out of the classroom.

Li Heng understood and followed him out of the classroom.

Yu Shuheng smiled and asked, "Do you have time tonight? Let's go to the teacher's house for dinner."

Hearing this, Li Heng immediately remembered that when he was in Bailu Village, he had promised to go to her house for dinner.

Li Heng looked embarrassed: "Teacher, can we change the time? I have an appointment tonight."

The smile on Yu Shuheng's face slowly disappeared, "Xiao Han is coming over?"

Li Heng shook his head: "Today is Thursday, Xiao Han has to go to class and can't come. Mai Sui and I want to treat a classmate to dinner."

Yu Shuheng nodded when she heard this, and walked past him back to the classroom. He walked away in a very casual manner, and turned around very quickly.

After attending classes obediently that day, as soon as the bell rang for the 6th class in the afternoon, Li Heng immediately ran to the Accounting Class 2 opposite to find Mai Sui.

This semester was different from the last semester. Li Heng would come to see Mai Sui at any time, and Class 2 of Accounting and Finance had become numb to it. Of course, the rumors about the two of them became more and more numerous and more bizarre.

Some girls were jealous of Mai Sui and spread rumors behind his back: Xiao Han was only Li Heng's girlfriend in name only, and his real girlfriend was Mai Sui. The reason was that the two of them spent more time together than Xiao Han.

Where there are rumors, there are defenders. Many boys from the School of Management came out to defend their goddess. They were unwilling to believe that Li Heng and Mai Sui had any unclear feelings, but believed that the two had a pure friendship. After all, they had known each other for so many years and were from the same place.

Mai Sui had certainly heard about these disturbing rumors, but she just listened to them and never cared about them.

On the contrary, ever since the scandal with Li Heng started, no boys have come to bother her anymore, and she is very happy about it.

When it comes to the big and small kings of Fudan University today, Mai Sui’s area is the cleanest, with no flies buzzing around.

Next is Zhou Shihe. It's not that this girl is unpopular, but she is too good-looking. Most guys don't even dare to talk to her face to face, let alone write love letters to pursue her.

The most popular girl among boys is Wei Xiaozhu.

After a period of frustration, Hu Ping, who was unwilling to give up, now officially launched a third charge, and once again burned his passion for Wei Xiaozhu. He brought her breakfast in the morning, reserved a seat in the library for self-study classes, and accompanied her to the library to read books at night. He was a warm man, and his meticulous care, hey! The two fraternity dormitories were jealous.

According to Li Guang, Lao Hu launched a fierce attack on Wei Xiaozhu again because he was provoked. A junior from a very wealthy family was fanatically pursuing Wei Xiaozhu. The other party was full of oppression, so Lao Hu dared not continue to be indifferent.

"Comrade Ye Ning, move over a little and make room for me." Li Heng called to Ye Ning who was at the innermost. Ye Ning rolled his eyes at him and moved inside.

Zhou Shihe in the middle moved along.

After he sat down, Mai Sui wrote a note: I still have 7 or 8 classes to attend, so why don’t you go back to Lushan Village and wait for me, and then I’ll invite you to dinner.

Li Heng replied: I’m too lazy to move and don’t want to go back. I’ll accompany you to class.

Mai Sui looked at him, realized that he couldn't persuade him anymore, so he stopped trying to persuade him and wrote: OK.

After writing, she took out two chocolates from her pocket and gave them to him.

Li Heng wrote on the paper: Help me peel it, I don’t know how to peel it.

Mai Sui smiled tenderly, pretending not to see it, then turned around and chatted with Zhou Shihe for a while. When the class was about to start, she suddenly stretched out her right hand and reached under the desk.

Li Heng looked down and was instantly delighted. There was a peeled chocolate in her palm.

He reached out and took the chocolate and put it in his mouth. Later, he showed her the photo of his biological mother and wrote: Many people in the village say that we look alike, mother and son. What do you think?

It was the first time that Mai Sui saw what Li Heng’s mother looked like. He looked at the photo for a long time and replied: They do look alike.

Ye Ning and Zhou Shihe beside him also saw it. Ye Ning even reached out for the photo and after looking at it, he exclaimed: "Li Heng, your mother is so beautiful. No wonder you are so handsome."

Li Heng grinned. His mother was indeed beautiful when she was young, but now that she is middle-aged, her beauty has declined a lot. However, no matter how old a beauty is, her basic lines are still there, and her foundation is still there, which is not comparable to ordinary women.

However, when it comes to the beauty of middle-aged women, Song Yu's mother is undoubtedly more charming than Comrade Tian Run'e. Jiang Yue teaches music, and she has a faint artistic temperament that is quite lethal.

The 7th and 8th classes were taught by a director of the School of Management, and Li Heng felt embarrassed to pass notes to Mai Sui. Well, it is said that people live by their face and trees rely on their skin, and face is given by everyone.

After finally getting through two classes and leaving the School of Management teaching building, Mai Sui couldn't help but ask with a smile, "Were you too pent up during these two classes?"

Li Heng nodded seriously, "I originally wanted to pass notes with you in class and experience the innocent fun of childhood, but I didn't expect it to be the director's class. It's really confusing."

Mai Sui's face turned red when he heard this. He took a few steps forward and said, "Let's go back to Lushan Village first. It's probably going to rain soon. There are a lot of clothes on the balcony that we haven't collected yet."

"Okay." Li Heng looked up at the large dark clouds that had floated in the sky out of nowhere, and jogged along.

Since they were going to have dinner with Wei Xiaozhu, Zhou Shihe and Ye Ning did not come with them, but went directly to the cafeteria.

"Happy wedding, Lao Fu!"

In the alley, the two men ran into the fake Taoist priest who was returning home from buying vegetables, and Li Heng joked.

"You kid! You are such a jerk. It's been almost half a year since you got married, and you're still talking nonsense."

The fake Taoist pointed at him, his face full of smiles, he was in high spirits because of good things happening to him. Ever since his wife became pregnant, he turned into Maitreya Buddha, smiling all day long.

The old Fu who always smiles three points when meeting someone is referring to him at this moment.

Then, Lao Fu called out, "Li Heng, Mai Sui, come to my house for dinner tonight. I'm learning how to cook now, and my cooking skills are getting better and better every day. I've made great progress."

Li Heng waved his hand: "No, I have an appointment tonight."

It really rained as it was said to rain. Before we had even finished chatting, beads as big as beans floated down from the sky and hit the roof tiles with a clanging sound.

Seeing this, Wheat Ear quickened his pace.

Li Heng did the same, but he fell down while kicking a small stone on the road, and he cried out "ouch" and his knees banged loudly, which hurt so much that the fake Taoist priest behind him laughed out loud.

Seeing Mai Sui coming back, he wanted to help him, but Li Heng waved his hand away, got up and said, "Go collect the clothes, it's raining heavily."

Mai Sui didn't listen. He leaned over to brush off the dirt and dust on his collar and asked softly, "Are you okay?"

"It's okay, I just bumped my knee." Li Heng said.

Seeing this scene, the fake Taoist priest behind him stopped laughing and subconsciously looked towards Building 25. As expected, Shuheng was usually at home at this time, standing on the attic with a cup of coffee, looking down at the scene in the alley.

The fake Taoist priest pursed his lips, but did not go forward to disturb them. Instead, he stopped where he was and looked at the two people in front of him, watching Mai Sui helping someone brush off the dust and helping someone roll up his trouser legs to check his knees.

Li Heng lowered his head and said, "It's really okay. Look, it's just a little red."

Mai Sui, who was squatting on the ground, hummed softly, lowered his trouser legs, and said softly, "I'll go collect the clothes first, and then I'll apply some medicine on you."

"Okay, go quickly, your clothes are getting wet." Li Heng urged.

Upon hearing this, Mai Sui stood up, took out his key and entered Building 26.

Li Heng fell down and his knee hurt a little. He hadn't recovered yet and his walking was affected. He didn't dare to walk too fast for a while. By the time he reached the second floor, Mai Sui had already put the clothes into the living room.

Mai Sui spread out her clothes on the back of the sofa, found the iodine and said to him, "Sit down, I'll help you apply some medicine."

Li Heng glanced at the tall figure in the attic opposite, "The sofa is covered with clothes, let's go to the study."

Mai Sui looked at the sofa. There was actually room left on it, but she didn't think much about it and followed him into the study.

"You're already an adult, yet you still fall while walking. Does your bones hurt? Do you want to go to the hospital for a check-up?" Mai Sui asked jokingly and concernedly.

"It should be fine. It's just the soft tissue that was impacted. It will recover after a short rest." Li Heng felt it and decided not to be pretentious.

Sitting on the chair, looking at the wheat ears squatting in front of him and carefully applying medicine, Li Heng's heart suddenly started beating violently. He didn't know why, it was inexplicable.

Mai Sui seemed to sense that something was wrong with him, and looked up and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

The two looked at each other, and Li Heng said in a mysterious way: "Mai Sui, stand up and turn your back to me."

Mai Sui was stunned, not knowing what he was doing, but out of absolute trust in him, she instinctively did not refuse him, stood up obediently and turned around.

After looking at her back for a long time, Li Heng seemed to be infected by her charming aura. He could no longer hold back and hugged her from behind.

He wrapped his arms around her belly and held her close.

Faced with the sudden hug, Mai Sui didn't react for a moment, his body stiffened instantly, and he instinctively wanted to resist, but when he thought of who was behind him, he forced himself to suppress the thought, and stood there motionless without struggling.

Noticing her awkwardness, Li Heng put his head over her right shoulder and whispered in her ear: "I just suddenly thought of it and wanted to hug you."

Hearing this, Mai Sui's body was a little uncomfortable at first, but as time passed, it gradually softened. Seeing him immersed in this feeling, she finally leaned back and rested her whole body in his arms, soft and sticky.

After a long time, Li Heng turned her over from his arms and looked at her from the front.

At a certain moment, he raised his right hand and placed it on her ear, slowly stroking her hair, "Do you blame me?"

The two looked at each other and Mai Sui shook his head slightly.

This shaking of the head seemed like some kind of signal. In the silent silence, Li Heng lowered his head and kissed her.

Mai Sui dodged unconsciously, and dodged again. When she dodged for the third time, she came to her senses. Then she stopped dodging, and was kissed solidly.

After a while, Li Heng, not satisfied with just a brief moment of affection, muttered to himself, and put her hands on his neck, "Can you take the initiative to hug me for once?"

Her long eyelashes flickered weakly as she smelled his strong hormonal scent. Finally, when she was kissed again, she surrendered. She put her arms around his neck as he wished, and opened her red lips to kiss him warmly.

Ps: Update first and then modify.

Um, I wrote yesterday's chapter too hastily. I wrote it on my mobile phone on the road, so it was not very good. When I wanted to revise it, I found that I couldn't revise it anymore because the modification permission was locked. So you just have to read the first part of today's chapter. Alas.

(Normal updates resumed today, and)
