The attack on Hong Kong businessmen did not cause much repercussions in Hualin.
After all, the social atmosphere at that time was very bad, and fights, brawls, robberies, thefts, and even murders were not uncommon.
So the people of Hualin were living their lives as usual, and no one paid much attention to this matter.
Because of this, this incident was quickly forgotten. Yin Hong and Lu Wenzhong were also forgotten long ago, and no one mentioned it again.
Xiang Nan also breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he is not afraid of being found out, it is better to have more trouble than less trouble.
…
Another two months passed quickly, and in July, Hualin Health Vocational College was on summer vacation.
Silence or choose to stay in the birch forest.
She has completely lost contact with Songhe now.
Shen Dongliang has cerebellar atrophy, and his whole body is like a waste. It’s good that he can still breathe. He wants to harass her but he is powerless.
His wife was also frightened by Xiang Nan, fearing that he would be harmful to her son, so she did not dare to harass Shen Shen again.
Shen Shen will naturally not get close to them again, so she will still stay in Hualin City during the summer vacation.
Xiang Nan also wanted her to stay in Hualin so that they could always be together.
However, in order to avoid wasting time, Xiang Nante and Shen Sheng signed up for a driving school and went to learn to drive together.
“Isn’t it too early to learn to drive?” Shen Mo asked in surprise.
In the 1990s, cars were still a rarity, and getting a driving license was even less common. Unlike later generations, driver's licenses have become standard for college students. Many people take the driving license test right after finishing the college entrance examination.
“In the new century, every household has a car, which has become a standard feature. If you don’t know how to drive, it is equivalent to being illiterate, just like being illiterate.” Xiang Nan explained.
Shen Shen nodded.
…
Coming to the graduation season in July, Gong Biao was assigned to work in the Hua Steel Factory after graduating from Hualin University of Technology because of his corresponding major.
Xiang Nan has met him. He is a very handsome young man. He has graduated with a bachelor's degree and should have a bright future.
It’s a pity that he was ill-fated and should not have fallen in love with Huang Liru.
Because Huang Liru is not only the mistress of factory director Song Yukun, but she is also pregnant with his child.
Song Yukun did not want this child, but Huang Liru had to keep the child in order to tie up Song Yukun.
In this way, for the sake of the child, Song Yukun will continue to give her benefits in the future.
Hence Huang Liru chose Gong Biao as the successor.
Gong Biao had just graduated from college, but he didn't know that people's hearts are sinister, so he fell into the trap in a confused way. Later, when he learned about Huang Liru and Song Yukun, he was filled with righteous indignation and beat Song Yukun in public, which also caused him to be laid off.
As a college student, it would not be difficult for him to find another job even if he was laid off. After all, college students were still very popular in the 1990s.
In the end, the two separated because of their different views.
The day after they separated, Gong Biao died in a car accident. His whole life was like a dream, and he understood nothing.
Xiang Nan knew that Gong Biao was a good person, enthusiastic, righteous and simple. So he would give him a hand if possible.
…
In August, both Xiang Nan and Shen Mo successfully obtained their driver's licenses.
However, although Xiang Nan passed the driving license test, he is not ready to buy a car for the time being.
For one thing, cars are too expensive now. Even if a Santana costs 2,000 yuan, it costs nearly 200,000 yuan. At the same time, one could buy a big house in the Second Ring Road of Beijing.
Moreover, the Santana cost 2,000, and in his opinion, it was not really a good car. He is used to driving luxury cars like Ferrari, Porsche, and Lamborghini, and has no interest in driving cars like Santana.
Secondly, there is no great need to buy a car now. Shen Shen was just a sophomore, and his main job was still studying, so his activities could not be separated from Hualin City. Hualin is only such a big place, and a motorcycle is enough. There is really no need to buy a car.
Xiang Nan plans to wait for another two years for his capital to reach 100 million yuan, and then consider buying a luxury car to drive. So he ended up riding his motorcycle and driving around in silence every weekend.
Although Hualin is a small town, it is surrounded by mountains and dense forests, making it a beautiful and pleasant place.
Hike hiking, traveling, and having picnics on weekends is actually a very romantic thing.
…
In addition to getting a driver's license, Xiang Nan also sold a new house in the city.
When Huagang's profits were good, it built a lot of family buildings. The house where Wang Xiang's family lives now is a family building allocated by Huagang.
However, Huagang's performance has been poor in recent years and it has no money to build any more family buildings. Therefore, many employees cannot be allocated housing and can only live in employee dormitories with other workers.
Living with others is naturally not as comfortable as having an apartment of your own, so everyone is racking their brains and making every calculation, hoping to get a house.
For example, the reason why Huang Liru hooked up with factory director Song Yukun was to get a house in advance. So when she and Gong Biao were watching a movie, and she heard him mention Freud, the first thing she asked was, "Has he divided his room?"
If Xiang Nan wants to be allocated a house from the factory, it is not impossible. He can just ask Song Yukun directly, but he just doesn't want to do that.
A man is a man who keeps his word. Since he promised Song Yukun that he would spend 100,000 yuan and never cause trouble to him again, he naturally did not want to break his promise;
Secondly, it is not difficult for him to buy a house. Besides, he didn't like living in the Huagang family building. The reason is also very simple. The people living in the Huagang family building are all Huagang employees.
At present, Huagang has not closed down, so the family area can barely maintain prosperity. However, once Huagang goes bankrupt, the Huagang family area will become an oversized slum.
70% to 80% of the people living here have no jobs. At that time, they can do anything to make a living. Therefore Xiang Nan does not want to settle here.
He bought a small four-story villa in the best community in Hualin.
Although Wang Yang always wanted to leave Hualin in the play, he felt that Hualin was rustic, poor and had little future. But in fact, according to the classification of urban levels, Hualin is definitely a third-tier city.
The most intuitive example is that Hualin has at least two universities. One is Hualin University of Technology and the other is Hualin Health Vocational College.
In such a third-tier city, there is nothing new about high-end villa communities.
After all, in addition to the lower class people such as Wang Xiang, Gong Biao, and Li Qiaoyun, Hualin also has many rich people living here. For example, Song Yukun, the factory director of Hua Steel, Brother Hai, who insisted on singing "Tracker's Love" with money at Silence, and those people in Victoria who were looking for fun.
These people are the first batch of people to get rich by taking advantage of the reform and opening up in recent years. When you become rich, you will naturally pay attention to food, clothing, housing, transportation, food, drink and fun.
So in 1995, the first batch of villa communities in Hualin began to be built.
