The Rise of Great Powers: Starting From Military Industry

Chapter 96 Dance and Lake Tour (Please Read It Later)

"Senior Liu Tao, it's you! When did you come back!?"

A boy said in surprise.

"Hey, Tang Qiang, shouldn't you have graduated? Why are you still in the college?" Liu Tao looked at the boy and recalled some related memories. He was quite surprised.

Tang Qiang, a firearms major, was one year younger than him.

Like Liu Tao, Tang Qiang was also a child of a large school. His father worked in the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building, but he passed away two years ago.

"I stayed in school!" Tang Qiang said, and then loudly introduced Liu Tao to everyone. As Tang Qiang introduced him, everyone's eyes were focused on Liu Tao, and everyone felt incredible.

This is a legend of the college. He won the title of National Advanced Science and Technology Worker one year after graduation.

Everyone was even more excited. They didn't expect that even a big shot like Liu Tao would come to the college's weekend dance.

Soon, the music started.

"Beautiful Miss Zhu Lin, I invite you to dance with me!" Liu Tao smiled and extended his hand like a gentleman.

Zhu Lin handed her hand to Liu Tao, and the two walked to the middle of the auditorium and danced.

Liu Tao held Zhu Lin's thin waist and felt that she was a little nervous, tensing her body: "Are you a little nervous?"

"No, no!" Zhu Lin hurriedly whispered, but her ears were already red.

Liu Tao chuckled and said, "Don't be nervous, relax, you are my girlfriend, I am your boyfriend."

Zhu Lin's face became even redder, which was very cute.

Liu Tao smiled. During the dance, he was very honest and did not do any strange movements.

In order to avoid going too far and arousing Zhu Lin's rebellious spirit, it would be ugly.

But at this moment, when the dance was about to end, the lights in the auditorium suddenly went out.

The girl screamed.

At the same time, Liu Tao felt Wen Yu in his arms.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm by your side!" Liu Tao patted the beauty's back gently, showing his tenderness.

"Is there a power outage?" Zhu Lin asked with some fear.

Normal girls would scream and feel scared when they suddenly encounter this situation.

Zhu Lin was no exception.

Liu Tao could even feel that she couldn't help trembling.

"Maybe, don't worry!" Liu Tao said softly.

With Liu Tao's comfort, Zhu Lin's mood gradually relaxed, but at this time she found that something was wrong with her. Liu Tao's strong heartbeat sounded in her ears, and the man's breath made her a little upset.

Liu Tao's eyesight was very good, even at this time, he could still see the surroundings clearly.

He found that some of the men and women who were dancing in the auditorium were already kissing secretly.

Liu Tao protected Zhu Lin and kept moving forward and left the auditorium.

As for their coats, they were found in a place at the gate.

Although they only danced a dance, the relationship between the two suddenly became much closer.

When they parted, the two agreed to visit Shichahai tomorrow.

The next morning, Liu Tao brushed his teeth and washed his face, and put on a set of clean clothes.

After making good preparations, he went out.

Arriving at Shichahai Park, Zhu Lin was standing there, still wearing a simple skirt and ordinary hairpins, but she always gave people a feeling of being pure and untainted.

When Zhu Lin saw Liu Tao, her heartbeat accelerated inexplicably.

She didn't sleep well last night, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that the two of them developed too fast.

They had only known each other for a few hours, so how could they become a couple?

The two of them were walking and chatting.

After walking for a while, they got on a small boat, sat on the boat, and leisurely sailed on the lake.

"If you want to compare West Lake to Xi Shi, heavy makeup and light makeup are always suitable, but it's a pity that this is not West Lake. When there is a chance, we will go to West Lake to play." Liu Tao sat on the boat and smiled lightly.

With the breeze blowing and the beauty as his companion, he was in a very good mood.

Zhu Lin was also attracted by the scenery in front of him at this time, "I have been here with my classmates before. I don't know why, but the scenery here today is more beautiful than every time I came here!"

"The people around me are different, and the feelings are naturally different!" Liu Tao smiled.

Zhu Lin's face was slightly red, but she felt that what Liu Tao said made sense.

"It's not easy to go to West Lake," said Zhu Lin.

Liu Tao said, "Next time I go back to Beijing, we'll take a plane there. It only takes two or three hours to get to Hangzhou!"

"What nonsense, how can you take a plane just by saying so?" Zhu Lin rolled his eyes at Liu Tao.

How difficult it is to take a plane. Without a letter of introduction from your company, you can't take a plane even if you have money.

She has never taken a plane in her life.

Liu Tao didn't explain much. Facts speak louder than words. There is no point in saying more.

After the lake tour, Liu Tao found a restaurant to have lunch together.

Although Shichahai is not as lively as it was in later times, there are still some people doing small businesses. Luxury hotels are impossible, but there are still one or two small workshops.

The real luxury hotels are now concentrated in the foreign hotels, and those foreigners have money to spend.

They ordered three dishes and a soup, and the two ate slowly.

The small restaurant only has home-cooked stir-fry, but the taste is not bad and the quantity is sufficient.

Liu Tao ate as he pleased, while Zhu Lin ate very elegantly.

They chatted while eating, either about Zhu Lin's work unit or Panshan Machinery Factory.

Liu Tao did not talk much about the military factory, but about hospitals, shopping malls, etc.

The two of them wrote down each other's work phone numbers and contact addresses.

After dinner, we went to the department store. The department store is located in Wangfujing. It was built in 1954 and opened the following year. It covers an area of ​​18,000 square meters. On the first day of its opening that year, the passenger flow reached an astonishing 164,000 people. It is now the largest store in Beijing. It can accommodate tens of thousands of customers and one thousand salespeople at the same time.

The department store is packed with people, and the salespersons all have their nostrils turned upward. Salespersons at this time have good jobs, high incomes and various benefits, and are more popular than many government agencies.

Liu Tao bought Zhu Lin two sweaters, two coats, and some spring clothes. Zhu Lin didn't want them at first.

"If you don't want it, I will kiss you right here." Liu Tao whispered in Zhu Lin's ear.

Zhu Lin's ears turned red, she rolled her eyes at Liu Tao, and had no choice but to accept Liu Tao's gift.

The two of them walked out of the department store carrying their bags.

"How can you save money for such a big spender?" Zhu Lin said in a low voice, "I know you have a high salary, but you have to be able to save money even if you have a high salary. You can't spend as much as you earn. The great man said that only when you have savings at home can you be careful. Don’t panic.”

Liu Tao smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have no problem marrying a wife with my savings now. Even the wedding room is ready, right in Shichahai. It will be convenient for you to return to your parents' home in the future."

"Bah, who said I wanted to be your wife!" Zhu Lin's face turned red with embarrassment.

Liu Tao laughed and said: "Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, I will take you to see our wedding room. It is very beautiful there. It used to be a prince's palace."

"You're talking nonsense again, how could it be the palace!" Zhu Lin rolled his eyes at Liu Tao and didn't believe it at all.

The palace occupies a large area and is either a government unit or a place where celebrities live. How could Liu Tao live there?
