Chapter 530 Chen Xueru's Search for Her Son

Wang Yuanchao doesn't care about cutting the ribbon at all. In fact, it would be best if there is no ribbon cutting. He just wants to make a fortune quietly and do his job.

But with such a huge investment, the government also needs to take photos to commemorate the event.

As a last resort, we all cut the ribbon together and took a few photos. These will only be used internally and will not be published in the newspapers for the time being.

The taxi company has already started trial operation, and Wang Yuanchao, the investor and the largest individual boss, got to take a look.

In fact, there is nothing much to visit. All the vans have run out and are scattered all over the capital, filling the streets.

As for the Crown sedans, almost half of them were parked in the garage, and many workers were cleaning and maintaining them.

"Why did they stop so much?" Wang Yuanchao was very puzzled.

The responsible comrade introduced:
"Crown taxis are still mainly used by appointment. Many people are picking up relatives or attending important events. If they all run out, it would be a waste of gasoline.

In addition, we have also undertaken a lot of reception tasks at airports and train stations, which can increase the utilization rate of the cars a little bit.”

Wang Yuanchao and his family were picked up and dropped off by this convoy.

He stopped talking and said, "The people are still poor."

This kind of high-end car is indeed not something that ordinary people would be willing to use.

"We still have a long way to go to develop the economy and fill people's pockets!"

The person in charge nodded in agreement and continued:

"But our vans are very popular. The streets are full of little yellow cars. We ordinary people affectionately call them 'little yellow'!"

After visiting the garage, we went to visit the dormitory building.

The dormitory building is a 6-story residential building, which looks like an old-fashioned tube building.

With the huge financial support from Wang Yuanchao, the buildings were built very quickly. In the earliest batches, people could be seen living inside.

The infrastructure maniac has begun to show its true colors.

There are 20 households on the first floor, lined up in a row. Each household has a width of 4 meters and a depth of 10 meters. There is a -meter-wide balcony on the south side and a corridor like a large bunk bed on the north side.

If it has 6 floors, one building can accommodate 120 households.

"We have built four buildings. Two of them were rented out before the New Year, and two more have just been connected to water, electricity and heating. The other six buildings have just resumed construction." The person in charge continued.

This simple tube-shaped building doesn't have an elevator.

Wang Yuanchao was too lazy to climb, mainly because there was nothing to see.

"Let's pick one that's not assigned and see!"

He randomly pointed to the first floor.

A group of people crowded over.

The house was bright, but empty.

There aren't even any partitions. You have to design it yourself, build the walls yourself, and paint the place yourself.

As for decoration, there is basically no such concept. Cement floor and white walls are already very beautiful, aren't they?

"Not bad, it also has a bathroom." Wang Yuanchao finally found a bright spot.

Not only is each dormitory equipped with water and electricity, it also has its own bathroom, which is many times more advanced than the public toilets in the tube-shaped buildings outside.

At least in the winter, I don’t have to run outside and freeze my butt like in other tube buildings!

There's no need to clean the toilet every day like in the courtyard houses, right?
The person in charge laughed and said:
"So, although our rent is not cheap, every time a new building is launched, everyone has to draw lots, and only the lucky ones can live in the house. In the past six months since you came, we have had more than a dozen newlywed couples get married here!"

Wang Yuanchao also laughed and said:
"Really? That's a good thing!"

The taxi company is a Sino-foreign joint venture. Unlike state-owned enterprises, the accommodation allocation for employees is different. Employees live in dormitories and still have to pay rent.

You have to reach a certain number of years before you are eligible to buy the dormitory. You can't let the investors lose money, otherwise who will invest?
Many people have jobs and can easily pay the rent. Having a house and a job is a hot commodity that is sought after!
In addition to the indoor bathroom, there is a radiator on each of the north and south sides. At least if the rooms are separated, the heating effect will not be affected too much.

“How is the warmth retention effect?”

The person in charge smiled innocently and said:

"The first batch of employees who moved in felt good. The temperature in the house was over 10 degrees Celsius! It's just like spring and autumn! You see, we specially made double-layer glass windows, which greatly improved the thermal insulation effect."

Wang Yuanchao then discovered:
"Oh, I just realized that the windows are double-glazed!"

Either double-layer insulating glass or two layers of glass windows are installed, otherwise the warmth retention effect in winter is not good.

Other than that, really, there's nothing special about it.

The group finally arrived at the office area.

This place is no different from a residential area. If we move the desks away, the rooms can be used as living rooms.

Wang Yuanchao shook hands with the employees and spoke a few words to them, and the entire tour was over.

Although he also sent some people here, the mainland holds 51% of the shares, and he is only a small shareholder with 49%, so he can do whatever others do.

Since people respect him, he will cooperate well.

After the rental company was done with it, he returned to his own house.

He originally picked a piece of land and built a community according to the suite standards of Hong Kong. He called it all for sale, but in fact he bought quite a few houses himself, and even bought a building directly, as a place for his family to stay when they returned, a B&B-style hotel exclusively for the Wang family.

There is someone taking care of it on weekdays.

His whole family lived here. He would not live in Lou Xiao'e's small courtyard, although it was more than enough for the whole family.

He only said one sentence to Lou Xiao'e:
"Who empties the toilet every day? Even if someone empties the toilet, would you be willing to use it?"

Wang Yuanchao used to live in a courtyard house, and he went out to get rid of the faeces. He was too lazy to deal with that stuff, and he was too lazy to run away, so he just used the small toilet in the corner. Later, Yu Li moved in and added a toilet for him, but he didn't like to use it. Anyway, he didn't spend much time at home.

A few years ago, when he brought his wife back, he pinched his nose and cleaned the toilet for a few days, but Liu Qijin didn't use this at that time, at most he did something small.

When Wang Ling and Lydia were young, their families were not well off enough to use flush toilets, so they both used this thing.

Not to mention Zheng Juan and Chen Xueru.

So when this was said, not only Lou Xiao'e, but others who also had life experience immediately felt that this was the best place.

Anyway, it's just a place to stay, as long as it's clean and hygienic.

When Wang Yuanchao was out doing something, they took the children out to visit various places of interest. Although they couldn't go to the Siheyuan to visit their parents-in-law, uncles and aunts for the time being, it was not monotonous, as there were many attractions in the capital.

For example, it is a must to watch the flag-raising ceremony at the Red City Gate early in the morning. Wang Yuanchao personally led the team to visit.

When the flag bearers marched towards the flagpole in an orderly manner, everyone gasped, it was so orderly!

The people are similar, the movements are similar, and from a distance, they look exactly the same.

Wang Ling’s youngest son Wang Yang even asked, “How many twin uncles do I need to find?”

Then he asked the sisters Wang Zhiliu and Wang Zhifeng:
"Sister, can you do that? Look so good!"

Then, my mother Wang Ling yelled at me, "Shut up! You can't make noise while watching the flag-raising ceremony! Do you see any of my brothers and sisters talking nonsense?"

The national flag guard brought unparalleled shock to the children, and it was also the first patriotic lesson that Wang Yuanchao taught them.

After finishing the work, everyone went to the breakfast spot to have breakfast together, and then split up into different groups.

Except for Wang Ling and Lydia, everyone else here has many memories of their youth.

Liu Qijin took them to visit Jingshan Park, where she and Wang Yuanchao met, and then they went to Beihai Park to go boating, which the children loved the most.

Lou Xiao'e even took them for a stroll around Nanluoguxiang and pointed out the courtyard where their father lived when he was a child.

But because of Wang Yuanchao's previous instructions, they did not dare to go and recognize the gate without permission.

Several women know that in the mainland, having so many wives is a violation of morals, otherwise the mother-in-law wouldn't have a headache when she heard her husband was coming home. Anyway, it's right to listen to the husband's arrangements.

Chen Xueru also took the opportunity to inquire about the whereabouts of her youngest son Fan Xiaojun.

It’s a pity that the old house on Qianmen Street has changed a lot. She doesn’t recognize any of the residents inside. It has been more than ten years and she doesn’t know where her youngest son moved to with his grandparents.

After asking a few people, they were still very wary of her.

She felt that she was already dressed very simply, even wearing flat leather shoes!

She went to the Zhengyangmen Tavern again.

At first glance, he spotted Xu Huizhen, who was both his enemy and friend back then!
Busy behind the counter.

Chen Xueru looked around before stepping into the tavern.

"Ahem!"

"Hello, what do you want--" Xu Huizhen greeted out of habit, stopped what she was doing, raised her head, and stared straight ahead.

A look of disbelief!

"Chen~..."

"It's me." Chen Xueru responded indifferently.

Xu Huizhen wiped her hands on her apron, walked quickly forward, looked at him carefully several times, and said:
"Sit down, sit down. We haven't seen each other for more than ten years. I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it..."

Xu Huizhen wiped the stool with her sleeve again before inviting Chen Xueru to sit down.

Although Chen Xueru dressed quite frugally, that was relative to Hong Kong. Moreover, her temperament as a superior with many years of experience and her pretty face showed at a glance that she had not experienced the ravages of time over the years.

Chen Xueru was not polite either, she sat down properly and said:

"You're the only one in the store? Where's your neck?"

Xu Huizhen smiled and said:
"Since there are no customers right now, I'm going to transport the wine."

Chen Xueru sighed:
"Is the family all in order?"

Xu Huizhen knew the miserable state of her family, and she was not shy about it. She said:
"Everything is neat. Are you back to look for Xiaojun?"

Seeing that other people's taverns were open, Chen Xueru asked:
"How long has this tavern been open?"

Xu Huizhen didn't have much to hide, and said:
"I started thinking about this at the end of 79, and it opened last spring."

Chen Xueru thought about it and realized that it was about the same time Wang Yuanchao came back, so she said:

"I took Hou Kui out for a walk back then, and we just came back. I went around the old house, but I didn't recognize anyone. So I thought I'd come and see you."

Xu Huizhen said:

"Our old Cai might know, you know, he keeps everything to himself.

Wait for him to come back and ask.

Even if he doesn't know, he can still find out for you, don't worry!"
