Chapter 1398 1400 [Rabbits don’t eat grass beside their nests]

  In the first half of 1983, apart from preparing for "Dream of Red Mansions", Xiang Nan also released a new book "Conspiracy", which tells the story of the war of liberation and the spy war after the founding of the People's Republic of China. After its launch, it was still a sensation.

  In addition, Jin Manying Shabu Shabu Restaurant has also opened its fourth branch. Although winter is over and it is no longer the peak season for eating shabu-shabu, Jin Manying's business is still good. I dare not say that it is always full, but you have to wait for a table at every meal time. It can be said that it is quite good.

  Yang Huajian traveled to the south again in the past six months and brought back five wagons worth 2.5 million. When they arrived, they were all sold out, and Xiang Nan and others made a fortune.

  …

  In the second half of 1983, during the summer and autumn, more than 500 young men and women from all over the country were gathered in the Old Summer Palace for training.

  The main content of the training is to study the original work, analyze the characters, also learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and enhance artistic accomplishment, so as to get closer to the character status of the original "Dream of Red Mansions".

   As an associate professor of ancient literature, Xiang Nan was also invited to teach these students.

   Fortunately, the training class is right next to Peking University, so Xiang Nan took over the task and would come to help with two classes every week.

Because Xiang Nan is a well-known writer in the country, his works such as "Educated Youth Trilogy", "Wrangler", "Latent", "There is a Snowstorm Tonight", "The Criminal Officer of the Great Song Dynasty" and so on are very popular all over the country. High sales and influence.

   Because of this, Xiang Nan is in the training class and is very popular among the students.

  Every time I go to class, the classroom is full of people.

   And Xiang Nan did not live up to their expectations. Not only did he teach well, but he also showed a variety of talents in class.

  For example, when explaining the art of piano, Xiang Nan will personally bring the guqin, pipa, and bamboo flute to play for the students, so that they can have a more intuitive experience.

  When explaining calligraphy and painting, Xiang Nan will also do calligraphy and painting on the spot, so that the students can better understand the skills and charm of ancient calligraphy and painting art.

   Because of this, Xiang Nan was evaluated by the students as the most talented teacher.

  In addition, Xiang Nan is only 28 years old this year, so he is actually not much different from the age of the students, so he can be regarded as the same age. Moreover, he is tall and handsome, which made many female students fall in love with him and send them secret glances.

  The female students who can be selected by the crew of "Dream of Red Mansions" have first-class appearance, figure, and temperament, otherwise they would not be selected. So these female students are still very attractive.

   However, there is a saying in the United States, don't **** where you eat. In Chinese, it means that rabbits do not eat grass beside their nests.

  Although these female students are good, Xiang Nan doesn't want to do anything to them, just like he doesn't do anything to the students of Peking University. This will really save a lot of trouble.

   Otherwise, if it gets on your hands, even if you can shake it off, it will be embarrassing to see you again. If you can't shake it off, it will be even more troublesome. So Xiang Nan will not ask for trouble.

  Even if a female student shows affection to him, he will pretend to be ignorant, and then take the initiative to avoid it, not giving the other party further opportunities.

  However, in this way, those female students misunderstood him as a gentleman, and their love for him became more intense.

  …

  In the second half of 1983, after Xiang Nan worked hard, Cai Xiaoli finally became pregnant.

   At the same time, Cheng Yuejin, the second child of the Cheng family, after repeating his studies for two years, was finally admitted to the Yanjing Institute of Metallurgy and Electrical Engineering, which later became the North China University of Technology, where he studied business administration.

  Cheng Yuejin is not as smart as Cheng Jianjun. Cheng Jianjun graduated from junior high school, and after studying for a month, he was able to be admitted to Yanjing Teachers College. After Cheng Yuejin graduated from high school, he failed the university entrance examination for two consecutive years.

  As an associate professor of Peking University, Xiang Nan has a lot of connections, so he can't help him with the college entrance examination. Therefore, he could only be asked to repeat the study for two years, and finally worked hard, and finally passed the exam.

   After Cai Xiaoli became pregnant, Xiang Nan didn't ask his mother or mother-in-law to help, but hired two nannies at his own expense. These days, it is open and invigorating. As long as you have money, you can hire nannies and confinement maids. But most people are reluctant to spend money.

  …

  In the second half of 1983, Xiang Nan published his first science fiction novel "Jurassic Park". After being serialized in the "Science Fiction World" magazine, there was a lot of admiration.

  Brilliant ideas, exaggerated ideas, tortuous stories, and thrilling rhythms have made science fiction fans very addicted and made Xiang Nan's reputation even higher.

  In addition to new achievements in creation, in terms of business, Jin Manying's stores have also expanded to eight. Even so, as the weather gets colder, the meat-shabu restaurant is still full of business.

  The colder the weather, the better the appetites of these diners.

   Freshly cut mutton is rinsed in a clear soup pot, then dipped in sesame sauce mixed with chive flowers, fermented bean curd, shrimp oil, cooking wine, and soy sauce, and put in the mouth, followed by a sip of hot white wine. It is simply the highest enjoyment.

   Because of this, Jin Manying has been in business for a year and a half, and its profits have been rolling upwards. In the month of December 1983, the turnover exceeded 200,000 yuan, which can be said to be making a lot of money every day.

  …

   "Brother Jianjun, check your accounts carefully, isn't it right?" Guan Xiaoguan smiled and said to Xiang Nan.

   Originally, Cai Xiaoli did the monthly audit. But she is pregnant with Liujia now, so it is not suitable for her to move around, so Xiang Nan let her rest at home. This kind of thing, only he can come.

  Xiang Nan nodded while watching.

  Guan Xiaoguan is worthy of being the granddaughter of Mr. Guan. Although he has a bit of a bad temper, he still behaves in a very orderly manner.

  The accounting issues are clear, and there is no act of self-stealing or loss of public welfare, which also makes Xiang Nan very satisfied.

   "But, Ms. Guan, it seems that I handed over these stores to you, and there is no mistake." After reading it, Xiang Nan nodded and smiled.

   "Brother Jianjun, don't call me Miss Guan anymore, I'm so weird. You can just call me Lazy Cat." Guan Xiaoguan said with a smile.

  Xiang Nan smiled and ignored this.

  Chunming called Guan Xiaoguan Lazy Maoxing, because he was Uncle Guan's apprentice and considered Guan Xiaoguan's elder. But he has nothing to do with Uncle Guan, so he can't pretend to be a senior. And it's a bit ambiguous to be called a lazy cat.

  He was afraid of getting involved with Guan Xiaoguan, so why would he call her so affectionately.

   "I'll take care of the current customer flow, and I can open four more branches." Xiang Nan laughed.

   "I think so too. Our Jin Manying is now well-known, even people who come to Beijing from other places know that Yanjing has a family named Jin Manying." Guan Xiaoguan nodded.

   "That's fine. I'll discuss it with Chunming later. If he agrees, then let's hurry up and open all the branches." Xiang Nan nodded.

   "Yes." Guan Xiaoguan also agreed, "Brother Jianjun, you still have courage~"

  Xiang Nan smiled and didn't continue to chat with her.

   Afterwards, he went to Chunming and told him about opening a branch.

  Chunming naturally did not object. To be honest, although he took a stake in the restaurant, Guan Xiaoguan, Xiang Nan, and Cai Xiaoli were the ones who worried about everything.

   So he felt a little ashamed. I didn't put much effort into it, so I just paid for it.
