Volume 1: The Hidden Dragon in the Abyss Chapter 28: Worry-Free on Royal Horse Street
The final exam was a breeze for Duan Yue, who had an incredible memory. Although he only reviewed the material briefly, he still passed with flying colors. Now, exams at school were like cheating with an aimbot for Duan Yue - they didn't pose any challenge. In order to leave the scholarship to those who needed it more, Duan Yue even deliberately lowered his score and settled for an excellent grade.
After all, Duan Yue no longer needs a scholarship to support himself in college now.
As for Tang Lier, such a good girl, taking the exam of the Department of Chinese Language and Literature is even less of a problem. The exam is just a formality for both of them.
After a chaotic scene, the graduates who had graduated and left school walked away. The low-grade students who were in a hurry to catch the train back home were also busy packing their luggage. The annual summer transportation was about to begin.
The old birds in the dormitory did not want to go home, Dashan was because the "pollution control" project was still in the evaluation activity of the Science and Technology Commission, and he, as a liaison officer, could not leave easily. Some people wanted to take the postgraduate entrance exam, so they signed up for various training classes during the summer vacation, studied hard, and hoped to gain more joy next spring. Du Wenwu had just hooked up with a little junior sister and was in a romantic mood, so he chose to stay on campus.
Under Lui's guidance, Duan Wei drove 07 through the streets and alleys of Haicheng, finally rushing into Yuma Street.
Just a moment ago, the road was still bustling with cars and people, but after entering Yu Ma Street, all the noise was blocked by the tall French plane trees and courtyard walls. Duan Lei saw that at the corner of the street, there were two armed police officers standing guard, and he felt a chill in his heart as he realized that he had entered the legendary Municipal Committee Street.
Yuma Street was originally a concentrated residential area for warlords, compradors and foreign capitalists in the city center of Haicheng. More than 100 luxurious villas with various national styles were built here, with the oldest ones having a history of over 100 years. After liberation, these buildings were taken over by the state and gradually became the residences of the heads of Haicheng's party, government and military organs, earning it the reputation as the power center of Haicheng.
Every official in the entire city of Haicheng, from top to bottom, has made it their lifelong goal to move into this street. Only a few can laugh all the way to the end. This street is not only home to the ruling leaders and their families, retired high-ranking officials, and the prominent families of Haicheng, but also concentrates the very top part of the entire city's pyramid.
Some people jokingly said that if a heavy bomb were to be dropped on this street at night, the entire city of Haicheng would fall into chaos.
Because the people living on this street are either rich or noble, safety issues cannot be taken lightly. Therefore, armed police officers were stationed at sentry posts. Duan Yue's car was stopped before entering Yuma Street, but fortunately, Lui had a pass in her bag, so they were able to enter Yuma Street smoothly.
Feeling the solemn and quiet atmosphere of Yuma Street, Duan Lei, who had only passed by Yuma Street before, couldn't help but sigh at the power of authority.
If this weren't the residence of a powerful figure in Haicheng, how could there be such a quiet and peaceful place in the most prosperous downtown area? It would have been demolished by real estate developers and built into commercial properties long ago!
Along the way, one after another high gate and courtyard flashed past the car window, Duan Fei seemed to have felt the joys and sorrows, the sword lights and shadows that had been performed on this street for over a hundred years.
"Stop right there, rock!" Just as Duan Yue was dazed, Li Er spoke up.
Duan Yue lightly tapped the brakes and took his foot off the accelerator, bringing the Audi to a smooth stop in front of the gate of No. 18 Yuma Street.
When they saw 07 stop, the two armed police officers who had been staring at 07 became serious because these two cars were not familiar license plates and there was no pass sticker on the windshield.
"Stone, you go back to the company first, I'll call you later!" After getting off the car, Li Er waved at Duan Yue.
After seeing Duan Lei nodding, Li Er carried a small bag and jumped into the municipal party committee compound.
All the staff in the compound saw this scene, and they all secretly speculated about who this young man was. Becoming Lui's boyfriend is equivalent to stepping into heaven and embarking on a smooth path. Of course, it's also possible that this young man himself is a wealthy family heir, and he and Lui are a match made in heaven.
However, those who work in the municipal party committee are all made of iron and copper, no matter how much they think in their hearts, they will not show anything on their faces.
Watching Lian'er's figure disappear into the flower-filled courtyard, Duan Lei finally started the car and left from the other end of Yu Ma Street. After all, this place was too narrow, and it wasn't easy to turn around. Originally, Lian'er had wanted Duan Lei to follow her home and take a look, but thinking that both of Lian'er's parents were at work, and the municipal committee compound was crowded with people, in order not to affect Lian'er, Duan Lei could only resist the temptation and decline.
There will be opportunities for formal visits in the future!
Driving back to the base, Duan Yue first entered the cultivation room of the laboratory to add nutrients and various precious metals needed for the 'engulfing fungus', ensuring that the third batch of superalloy could be provided to the Haigang Special Smelting Plant before returning home. Two days ago, the second batch of superalloy had been delivered to the smelting plant for smelting into alloy materials, and Guo Wei had already begun contacting Duan Yue to discuss cooperation on alloy steel between the two parties.
Guo Wei proposed that Haigang provide smelting equipment and sales channels, while 'Makabiological' provides superalloys and related smelting processes. The two parties would split the profits 37%. However, this plan was still some distance from Duan Lei's bottom line, so he did not immediately agree, but instead continued to negotiate slowly.
Doing business, haggling all over the sky, and paying back when landing!
Driving home will take some time, and I'll definitely be staying at home for a few days, which adds up to about half a month. If it were in the past, Duan Lei would really not have been able to get away from work. But now that 'Makabi Biology' has entered its normal operating rhythm, He Sheng is in charge of production, giving Duan Lei a lot of peace of mind. As for the office side, there shouldn't be any major problems either.
After handling all the affairs in the base, Duan Yue drove to the commercial district in the city center. He had to buy something for his family before going back home. In previous years, when Duan Yue returned home, he was always very frugal and reluctant to buy gifts for his family members. Now that he has money, he naturally wouldn't be stingy anymore.
He started a company and got rich, but Duan Yue didn't dare to tell his family too much, for fear of worrying them. The last time he sent 20,000 yuan back to his mother, she was already worried that he was doing something bad in Haicheng. Duan Yue could only say that he was following the professor at school to do a project and got a lot of rewards, and the money he sent back was the bonus issued by the school.
Sometimes one lie needs a hundred lies to support it.
Duan Yue had a bit of a headache when he got back, and how to explain the huge changes over the past half year to his family, it could only be done as the situation arose. Anyway, with Li Er such a beautiful girlfriend standing in front, his parents' attention should not be on himself anymore.
