The Red Era: Starting from a Truck Driver
Chapter 346 The First Batch of Online Dating
Chapter 346 The First Era of Online Dating
Come, come, let’s meet in 1998, meet under the silver moonlight, meet in the gentleness~~.
It is said that those born in the 1980s are the most miserable generation, but movies, TV shows and songs have not treated them unfairly.
In the past, technical secondary school students and college students were guaranteed jobs, but for the generation born in the 1980s, colleges and universities continued to expand enrollment after the reform and opening up.
When those born in the 1980s entered technical secondary schools, even those born in 1980 were almost guaranteed jobs in 1994. However, by 1996, when they had not yet graduated, they were no longer guaranteed jobs.
The same is true for college students, at least they are assigned to schools. In some places, college students are guaranteed jobs.
Fortunately, Jiang Cheng’s children do not need to be assigned a major, and they choose their majors based on their interests.
At the end of 1998, the Jiang family had double happiness: Jiang Panpan got married, the eldest daughter Jiang Zhaozhao gave birth to a son, and Jiang Cheng and Zhou Lingying became grandparents.
As the first grandson of the Jiang family was born, there was a grand banquet. Shen Li and Zheng Shuang also came from Hong Kong to attend the banquet.
In 1998, the industrial fake wine incident occurred again. Jiang Cheng wanted to do something about it, but he was tired and could not do it anymore.
It’s gutter oil again, and it’s fake industrial liquor. Jiang Cheng had predicted gutter oil in advance and built an edible oil processing plant in advance. Now that fake liquor has appeared, is Jiang Cheng going to make liquor again?
Jiang Cheng could also predict that there would be a serious milk powder incident in the future, but he forgot which year it was and what the milk powder was called.
Maybe Jiang Cheng was really a little too idealistic. Only after trying did he realize how ridiculous it was to want to change people’s livelihood issues by his own efforts.
I felt that snacks had too many additives, so I started to make snacks. Later, because of the clenbuterol issue, I almost asked people to do breeding. Later, because of gutter oil, I started to make edible oil. If this continues, there will be no end.
The key point is that Jiang Cheng letting Jiangdonglai operate its own product cannot prevent problems with similar products. At most, it just gives some people one more choice.
In fact, many things really require a lot of effort but you don’t make much money, like growing bean sprouts and selling them, but they are sold out every day.
The later “Mou Donglai” even lost money on the fish they sold. The few self-operated products they made were actually just out of interest. Some vegetables were found to have excessive residues, but “Mou Donglai” didn’t grow them themselves.
Jiang Cheng likes to be a hands-off boss. In some industries, relying on the size of Jiang Donglai, he can make some money. But the profit is limited, and most members of the Jiang Group actually think that investing in some projects is meaningless.
So after the industrial liquor incident, Jiang Cheng was persuaded by his children and just went with the flow.
As for 1998, we have to mention Jiang Fei and Jiang Yue from Hong Kong. At the end of the previous year, they lost all their savings because of stock speculation, and the money saved by Shen Li was also greatly reduced.
However, Jiang Fei and Jiang Yue did not withdraw from the stock market. Instead, they borrowed a lot of money to continue increasing their holdings. In the end, they owed the bank nearly 20 million yuan.
It turns out that this rich second generation cannot mess around. If Jiang Cheng only showed off his industries and wealth, with these two daughters messing around like this, at least half a year’s income in Hong Kong would be wasted by them.
And this may be because they don’t have much money. If they had more money, they would probably spend more.
This matter still had to be resolved by Jiang Cheng, the father. After paying off the bank debt, he gave each of his two daughters several million in pocket money as they acted coquettishly.
In 1999, Jiang Cheng was already fifty years old, which was the age of knowing the destiny. His parents were also in their seventies. Because they worked too hard when they were young, although they had been enjoying life in the past ten or twenty years and had maintained their health well, they began to fall ill frequently.
This year, the fourth child, Jiang Sisi, graduated from school and took over the clothing factory in Shenzhen, where she started designing clothes. The clothing factory also became independent from the self-operated brand of “Jiangdonglai” and registered a clothing trademark called “Siyu”.
After the clothing factory’s trademark became independent, Jiang Sisi did not hesitate to run to Hong Kong to find her third aunt Shen Li and asked her to contact Hong Kong celebrities to endorse the brand.
This year was also the year when Ma came up with Q chat.
The emergence of Q chat actually brings a new and strange world to those born in the 1980s.
Without a camera, you have to rely on weird or poetic online names to attract the person on the other end of the computer.
The purest era of online love has arrived. The Internet is mysterious and online love is something people look forward to.
Li Lei and Han Meimei, Ruffian Cai and Qingwu Feiyang, Chu He and Dang Wu~~.
Jiang Cheng also registered a nickname, originally wanting to make a joke of it, calling it “Eight-Force Gale”, but then he thought about the fact that he already had grandchildren, and what would happen if his family knew the connotation of this name, so he finally named it “Spying on Everything”.
Jiang Cheng chose the online name “See Everything” because he thought he was a time traveler who could know information from more than 20 years later and had spatial abilities. Now that he had a huge fortune, Jiang Cheng could be like God, seeing everything from a God’s perspective and playing around in the world.
But Jiang Cheng added a lot of little girls on the Internet. For Jiang Cheng, considering his age, it cannot be said that the ones he added are little girls, but only little girls.
Many little girls always ask Jiang Cheng what he wants to peek into.
What a bunch of little brats, Jiang Cheng just wants to say you are spying on my sister~~~.
Anyway, Jiang Cheng was surfing the Internet like an old man without any respect, because the chat was interesting enough and some female netizens wanted to ask for his address and write to him.
For all this, Jiang Cheng just wanted to sing “I want~~what’s the use of this iron rod”.
Of course, “Spying Everything” is just the nickname of Jiang Cheng’s QQ chat. He has more than one QQ chat. He also created another QQ chat and secretly added his third daughter Jiang Nian Nian to find out what kind of men she likes.
Jiang Niannian broke up with her pretty boyfriend, not because Jiang Zhaozhao or Jiang Panpan found her a better boyfriend. It was just that they had been together for a long time, and for some unknown reason, Jiang Niannian broke up with her boyfriend.
Jiang Cheng wanted to pretend to be a suitor to trick his daughter Jiang Niannian into talking to him, hoping to help her find a suitable one based on her request.
But maybe because Jiang Niannian is Jiang Cheng’s daughter after all, Jiang Cheng knows some of her preferences and personality. As they chatted, Jiang Niannian felt that this person on the Internet “understood” her very well.
Jiang Niannian asked the “him” on the Internet if he minded that she had a boyfriend and lived with him for a while. Jiang Cheng followed his daughter’s thoughts, and then he didn’t dare to talk anymore.
There are some topics that can be discussed with Jiang Cheng as a father, but Jiang Cheng didn’t dare to reveal his identity to Jiang Niannian on the Internet. But he also understood the reason why his daughter broke up with that pretty boy. It was a bit difficult to talk about. Jiang Cheng was too embarrassed to tell his wife when he learned the reason.
How can I tell Zhou Lingying that my precious daughter Jiang Niannian broke up with someone because I think she is not good enough. If I help my daughter find a partner, I have to find someone who is better.
Of course, Jiang Cheng also shamelessly got Jiang Niannian’s words out, and he couldn’t blame his daughter. That pretty boy couldn’t say that the Barbarian King was invincible for three seconds, but only for a few dozen seconds. It wasn’t that his daughter’s needs were so strong, it was just too much.
It was already good enough that Jiang Niannian had been able to stay with that pretty boy for such a long time and didn’t dump him very early.
Finally, Jiang Cheng probably got some words out of Jiang Niannian, and then ruthlessly blocked her. He couldn’t continue chatting. To be honest, his daughter was a bit of a hooligan when she took off her disguise on the Internet.
Jiang Cheng really blamed himself for letting Jiang Niannian sell discs, but she accidentally came into contact with some bad things. Her mind was poisoned, just like Jiang Cheng before.
In order to solve Jiang Niannian’s lifelong event, Jiang Cheng went to Shenzhen to find Lao Zhang. Although Lao Zhang had been retired from the army for 20 years and is now retired, he still had some connections in the army.
Jiang Cheng wanted a handsome, tall, young officer who also wanted to change his career. The soldiers in the army were all physically fit. Although strong physical fitness did not necessarily mean that they were good in that aspect, those who were not physically fit would definitely not be good.
With the help of Lao Zhang, he actually found a person who met Jiang Cheng’s requirements. The other party wanted to transfer to a local job because his family members were in poor health and they had to see a doctor frequently, making their life financially difficult.
After Jiang Cheng saw the man’s appearance, he felt that he had good character. He was willing to give up his position as a junior officer in the army for the sake of his family. This filial man was basically a good person.
After Jiang Cheng showed the other party a photo of his daughter Jiang Niannian, he also said how rich his daughter was. He was basically luring a son-in-law home.
She brought her abducted son-in-law back to Changcheng and asked Jiang Niannian to go on a blind date with him. This damn girl, she was not satisfied with the partner she found for her before, so she said not to interfere with her free love. Now after seeing the other party, he is tall and handsome, and he was an officer in the army.
At this time, Jiang Niannian no longer said that her parents interfered with her free love, and said that she would follow her parents’ arrangements.
After solving the problem of the third brother’s partner, Jiang Cheng actually added the fourth brother Jiang Sisi on his QQ chat account. However, she had just graduated and was not in a hurry to get married. Otherwise, Jiang Cheng would have gone to “hook up” with her, but he also chatted with her from time to time, wanting to see the fourth brother’s inner criteria for finding a partner.
But Jiang Sisi didn’t seem to be interested in online dating, or rather, Jiang Cheng’s way of “hooking up” was not what she liked.
~~
Two years passed in a blink of an eye. The Jiang family grew stronger and stronger. They entered the real estate industry and the profits were indeed high.
Jiang Cheng has not done anything in the past few years, and his children have no sense of existence. There will be a phone call during the holidays, and they can only reunite once during the Chinese New Year. And because she is a daughter, her son-in-law does not come to visit. In order to respect her son-in-law, her daughter may have to go to her husband’s house during the Chinese New Year.
The children are grown up, even if there are so many children, they are rarely around. After all, they all have their own careers.
Jiang Cheng and Zhou Lingying have ten children, and if they want to see their daughter and son, they actually have to take the initiative to look for them.
The fifth and sixth brothers also graduated. As soon as they graduated, they ran to the Jiang Group in Shenzhen and owned their own private villas as soon as they arrived there.
Jiang Ping and Jiang Mengmeng had a wealthy childhood, unlike Jiang Zhaozhao and the others. When Zhaozhao and the others were young, Jiang Cheng was still pretending to be “poor”. His family conditions were just okay, and he could still play with the neighbors in the yard where he lived at that time.
Jiang Fei in Hong Kong also got married, and found a man who was well-matched with her, a financial investor. Jiang Yue was also engaged, and she was good at finding a partner, and found a dentist.
Doctors in Hong Kong have a high status and good income. After Jiang Yue got engaged, she invested in a dental hospital and it was doing quite well.
Jiang An also graduated from university, but he did not take up any position in the company. Instead, he went traveling abroad.
Currently, Jiang Cheng only has his youngest daughter Zheng Shuang who is still studying in Hong Kong. She is really a promising student. After graduating from university, if her grades are good and she still wants to continue studying, she can go abroad for further studies.

“Yingying, our children are not around, so it’s boring for us to stay at home every day. Why don’t we go to Hong Kong and live by the sea with Zheng Ke and Lili?”
“Go live in Hong Kong? What about your parents? They are not in good health now. We have to visit them often.”
“Yanzi is here, and my sister-in-law is always by my parents’ side serving them. Besides, it’s convenient to call now, and we can come back immediately if anything happens.”
Jiang Cheng was lying on a hammock in the courtyard of the villa, chatting with Zhou Lingying. He had not lived in the compound for a long time. He was now living in a villa area in Changcheng.
Because she was bored, Zhou Lingying planted some flowers and plants in the villa yard and also planted some vegetables.
There was no place he wanted to go on this trip. Jiang Cheng wanted to live by the sea, go fishing in the morning, surf the Internet when he was bored, or arrange a small cruise ship to go sailing on the sea and sunbathe.
As long as you have enough money, you can still enjoy your life. It’s really boring to stay in the villa area in Changcheng.
Zhou Lingying was actually also moved. Over the years, Shen Li and Zheng Ke had always respected her as their elder sister. Every time they went to Hong Kong, they would try their best to take care of her and take her shopping and strolling.
And she is at this age, and her life is indeed lacking some passion. People change. In the past, she was very disgusted with sharing a husband, but now Zhou Lingying’s heart is shaken.
When people reach their 40s or 50s, some things become just needs, without passion. When Jiang Cheng was young, he always wanted to do things in a different way, but now he just does things in a way that is convenient and simple.
In addition, Shen Li often persuaded Zhou Lingying that Jiang Chengdu was in his early fifties. Did they really have to wait until he could no longer move before trying?
Jiang Cheng’s proposal was a good one for Zhou Lingying. It was boring to stay in this villa all day. It was better to live in the compound. Although the house was small and inconvenient, she could talk to her neighbors or go out for a walk with them.
Now that I live in a villa, even though I have neighbors, the simple feeling between neighbors is no longer there as before.
“Okay, let’s take a plane directly this time. It’s more convenient.” Zhou Lingying agreed to Jiang Cheng’s suggestion.
“Okay, I’ll go see if there are any tickets for tomorrow. You call Lily and tell her.” Jiang Cheng said as he climbed up from the hammock.
Jiang Cheng really doesn’t want to live in this villa area anymore. He is only fifty years old, and living here is like retirement. He will lose strength if he lives here for too long.
