Chapter 189: The Times Are Evolving

Tang Feng, holding Su Xiaoli’s hand, slowly returned to the living room.

“Brother Feng, do you have any plans for tomorrow morning?” Su Xiaoli asked.

“I’ve arranged to meet with Guo Wei tomorrow morning to finalize some details,” Tang Feng answered.

“In that case, I’ll go to the shopping center tomorrow to prepare gifts for our family,” Su Xiaoli said.

“Would the afternoon be okay? I should be free then,” Tang Feng discussed with her.

“The afternoon works too. Anyway, we’ve been in Beijing for so long, we should prepare gifts for our family. I believe they will be very happy when they see the gifts,” Su Xiaoli said with a smile.

Tang Feng nodded, saying, “That’s for sure. Even though mom and dad say they don’t need anything, they are still very happy when they actually receive gifts.”

“Parents often say one thing but mean another. I think it might be a generational thing. When they were young, whatever they did, they were more reserved,” Su Xiaoli said.

“Yes,” Tang Feng nodded, saying, “My dad told me that when he was introduced to my mom, they only met once before deciding to get married. It’s unimaginable today.”

“My dad was similar. When he was dating my mom, he didn’t even dare to hold her hand! Especially in public, for fear of being caught by others as a hooligan,” Su Xiaoli said.

However, possibly because she mentioned her mother, her mood visibly dropped.

Tang Feng noticed the change in her expression and quickly changed the subject.

They chatted briefly.

Then they went back to their rooms.

As Tang Feng lay in bed preparing to rest, he heard the system’s voice in his ear.

“Congratulations to the host for receiving a new mission! As long as you complete the domestication of desktop computers, not only can you get fifty thousand points, but you can also obtain all the information about smartphones.”

Tang Feng became excited after hearing what the system said.

The current mobile phone market was basically dominated by feature phones.

Smartphones were incredibly rare.

If he really could obtain all the information about smartphones, then he could advance the entire mobile phone era from feature phones to smartphones in the shortest time!

By then, not only could he make a fortune, but he could also lead the entire mobile phone industry into the era of China!

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became!

He even had trouble sleeping.

Time passed second by second.

He eventually fell asleep.

When he woke up, it was already seven in the morning.

After a quick wash and breakfast, he went to the meeting place he had arranged with Guo Wei.

The two had a very in-depth communication about some details.

After the discussion, Tang Feng said goodbye to him.

“Mr. Tang, pleased to cooperate!” Guo Wei appeared very happy!

“Pleased to cooperate!”

Then, Tang Feng left with Su Xiaoli.

They went around the shopping center, buying a lot of things.

By the time they returned to the villa, it was already five in the afternoon.

Tang Feng had just sat down on the sofa when his phone rang.

He looked at the caller ID and saw it was Su Ming calling.

He quickly pressed the answer button.

“Boss, where are you?” Su Ming asked.

“I’m at the villa,” Tang Feng answered.

“We’ll come over to you in a bit,” Su Ming said.

“Great! Have you guys eaten yet?” Tang Feng asked.

“No!” Su Ming shook his head.

“In that case, you guys might as well come over for dinner,” Tang Feng quickly decided.

“Okay!” Su Ming agreed.

After hanging up, Tang Feng asked Su Xiaoli to call Ning Xiao and the others as well.

They were going back to their hometown tomorrow, so it was a good opportunity for everyone to gather.

Otherwise, the next meeting might not happen until after the New Year.

Soon, Su Ming and the others arrived.

They were carrying big and small bags.

“What are you guys doing?” Tang Feng asked, seeing the situation.

“Boss, since you’re going back to your hometown tomorrow, we specially had our families send over some local specialties for you to take back to your parents,” Su Ming answered.

“You guys… This is too much,” Tang Feng felt somewhat embarrassed.

“These things aren’t expensive. It’s just a little something from us. It’s nothing compared to what you’ve given us,” Zhang Hao responded.

“Don’t say that! Whatever it is, it’s very precious to me,” Tang Feng said.

“Xiaoli, when are you guys leaving tomorrow?” Ning Xiao asked.

“Six in the morning,” Su Xiaoli answered.

“Ah? Why so early?” Everyone was surprised.

“If we leave at six, we can get home around noon. We want to have lunch with our family,” Tang Feng responded.

“It’s a pity that Binjiang District doesn’t have a train station, otherwise it could be faster,” Yu Li said.

“I think taking a train, with the time spent getting on and off, wouldn’t save much time compared to driving. To really save time, high-speed rail would be the way to go,” Tang Feng said.

“High-speed rail might be too much to hope for! Not to mention Binjiang District, many prefecture-level cities and even provincial capitals don’t have high-speed rail. I guess it might not be available even after ten years,” Su Xiaoli sighed.

“That’s hard to say. As long as high-speed rail technology develops fast enough, no matter what kind of place, even small towns, will have a high-speed rail station,” Tang Feng laughed.

“I think the boss is right! The times are evolving! When cars first came out, only a few people could afford them. Now, as the economic level continues to improve, more and more people are buying cars. I believe that in the near future, high-speed rail will be the same,” Zhu Zihang expressed his opinion.

“Alright, let’s not talk about this! You guys sit here and chat for a while, I’ll go prepare the food!” Tang Feng said and went to the kitchen.

“I’ll help you!” Su Xiaoli followed.

Su Ming and the others looked at their backs, naturally feeling envious.
