746 Recalling the past, the long years
In the ward, three people spoke like this. On this day, Mr. Zhao was a little talkative, and found his struggle history when he was young from his memory, leaned on the backrest of the hospital bed, and said wherever he thought of it. Even Zhao Jie had never heard of many entrepreneurial stories. He was quite surprised, and he felt very inspiring, so he was very interested.
Ye Zhiran understood that Mr. Zhao was full of memories, but actually reflected his inner tension. It can be understood that when a person handed over his life safety to others, he always had an inexplicable fear and worry. Even if he was calm on the surface, his inner confusion and anxiety could still be revealed in the details.
At this moment, Mr. Zhao recalls the past glorious years, which is the embodiment of this mentality.
"...When the Japanese came over, I followed my parents from Changjia to SZ, and then to HK. That period was very difficult, of course everyone was similar, both worried that the war would involve me and be confused about the future. When I was seventeen, my father died of illness, so the responsibility of supporting the whole family fell on my shoulders. At that time, my mother was not in good health, and I had two younger brothers and a younger sister...."
Zhao Jie had heard of these situations. At this moment, when she heard Mr. Zhao telling her story, she suddenly felt that time went back, and when she was a child, she was combed with her little braids and swaying to her knees, listening to her grandfather telling stories.
"... The first time I went out to work was to sell a plastic products factory run by the British. I carried plastic buckets to various enterprises and families to promote sales every day. At that time, plastic buckets were new products, and factories or households used wooden buckets or iron buckets. The plastic buckets were light and solid, and they quickly opened up the market. I was very serious in sales at that time and had a good temper. I saw that everyone smiled with a three-point smile, so my sales performance was the best. The boss also liked me more, and soon promoted me to be a sales manager, deputy general manager, and then general manager..."
Ye Zhiran and Zhao Jie were both sitting beside Mr. Zhao's bed. He heard him talk about the history of struggle. With Mr. Zhao's current status, there were very few people who could listen to him telling history like this.
"At that time, I didn't expect to start a business myself. But it would be different when I met Zhang Yajie..."
"Ah? Grandpa, who is Zhang Yajie? Why have I never heard you say it?"
Mr. Zhao leaned on the back of the bed, showing a look of reminiscence, and his eyes penetrated the time and space. It felt very far away. "Hehe, Zhang Yajie was twenty-two years old at that time? He was the daughter of a Chinese boss in HK. He was so beautiful that he couldn't speak anymore. He could speak fluent English. Once I took a bus to do business. When I ran to the station, the bus was about to start. I rushed into the car in one step. The ticket seller might not see me, and closed the door and happened to clamp me. I shouted in pain. I heard a beautiful woman getting angry at the ticket seller, blaming her for not being serious about work and closing the door before all the passengers got on the bus... Well. Miss Zhang Yajie was the most beautiful and considerate woman I had ever seen at that time."
It was obviously the first time Zhao Jie heard this big gossip, and opened his eyes wide and urged: "Tell me quickly and speak quickly."
"...I've been upheld by such a beautiful and intelligent woman, and my favor for her naturally increased. In fact, when it comes to Ms. Zhang, I have met twice before, and they are all for her to sell plastic products in her factory. Although she is young and light, she is very educated. She manages the company for her father. The workers are very impressed. I remember she also bought a batch of products. In this way, after the car passed two stops, she got off the car, and I got out in a hurry and followed her to thank her. Ms. Zhang said to me, 'I remember your surname is Zhao, right? You have come to our company to promote plastic products before.
.Now is promoted?’ She judged it from my clothes. I replied that she has been promoted to general manager now. Ms. Zhang said, ‘Well, that’s good. But she is still working for others. I can see that you are very capable and able to endure hardships. Why don’t you start a company by yourself? Only by doing things for yourself can you maximize your potential.’ When she said that, she looked very serious and full of encouragement. For her words, I resigned from my boss the next day, set up a plastic factory and started a business.”
"Ah! It turns out that grandpa resolutely resigned from his job and started his business for this Zhang... Zhang Beauty, grandpa, what happened to her later? How did she do?"
Because my grandfather’s marriage partner was not Zhang Yajie, it was the first time that Zhao Jie heard this explosive news that he immediately took out his spirit of breaking the cauldron and asking the whole story.
Mr. Zhao showed a sad expression and said, "There are unexpected events in the world. Two years later, I achieved some success in my career. I went to Ms. Zhang's factory to find her. I realized that she had passed away for more than a year. It is said that once I took a ferry and fell into the water for a girl who fell into the water. When I found her, it was already two days later..."
Seeing Mr. Zhao showing deep sadness, Zhao Jie couldn't help but hold his grandfather's hand and said, "Grandpa, it's been so long, you don't have to be sad."
He asked again: "Ah! Grandpa, if Miss Zhang had nothing unexpected at that time, would you marry her?"
Mr. Zhao said blankly: "It's not so easy. Even if I achieved a small career at that time, I still had a low status compared to her. Besides, I don't know whether she has married or not."
"Grandpa, you haven't been looking for her in the past two years? Don't you know her details?"
"I was determined to make my career bigger at that time. Otherwise, although I missed her all the time, a family like her would always have people with a similar status to be worthy of it."
Zhao Jie sighed and said, "It would be great if nothing happened to her. Watching her grandfather step by step to the entire HK, the most Chinese in the world..."
Mr. Zhao shook his head, obviously still remembering the beautiful woman who left him an indelible impression for his life. The kind of love that he lost, could not get, wanted to repay her but never had a chance again, was very sad.
Zhao Jie suddenly thought of something and looked up and asked, "Ah! Grandpa, I also named my name. Could it be to commemorate this Zhang... girl?"
Zhang Yajie...Zhao Jie...She found the veins from it.
Mr. Zhao patted her hand and said, "Ms. Zhang... like you, she has long legs."
Zhao Jie immediately looked at Ye Zhiran in a bullshit, his mouth slightly raised, and he looked self-admiring.
Ye Zhiran said: "Old Zhao, I dare not affect your rest. When your illness is cured, Zhao Jie and I will listen to your story. Before the operation, you must adjust your emotions. In fact, there is no need to worry. The level of modern medicine is so advanced that your operation is just a test."
"Yes, grandpa, the one who performed the surgery on you this time is the doctor with the highest level of HK."
Mr. Zhao smiled and said, "I understand, why are you two chattering like grandma? Girl Jie, arrange accommodation for Xiaoye and leave."
