Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

On the third day after arriving in Shanghai, He Yuzhu went to the military region and met Huang Jingchuan.

Huang Jingchuan is Lin Zhijie's old comrade-in-arms. When Lin Zhijie went to Beijing for medical treatment, the army was handed over to Huang Jingchuan.

After he started exercising, Lin Zhijie secretly sent him a letter, telling him his guesses about the exercise.

Huang Jingchuan was a smart man. Seeing that Lin Zhijie was avoiding him, he also made an excuse to avoid him.

Although I didn't completely avoid it, I didn't suffer much either.

After the movement ended and Lin Zhijie returned to work, he immediately helped his old comrade-in-arms.

Last year, Huang Jingchuan was transferred to the Shanghai Military Region to serve as a leader in the military region.

I was supposed to visit Huang Jingchuan after arriving in Shanghai. Unfortunately, I was on a mission at the time, and Huang Jingchuan wasn't in Shanghai.

He Yuzhu only confirmed the time to meet after he returned.

A military jeep stopped in front of the hotel. After confirming the details, He Yuzhu got into the car.

They soon arrived at Huang Jingchuan's residence.

Huang Jingchuan was very happy to see He Yuzhu and took the initiative to come out of the house to greet him.

"Zhu Zi, come in quickly, your aunt has cooked the dishes and is waiting for you."

"Uncle Huang, you're too kind." He Yuzhu was a little flattered.

He didn't feel that his status warranted such treatment from Huang Jingchuan.

Huang Jingchuan's next words cleared up his doubts.

"You are our family's savior. You saved your aunt's life."

It turns out that Huang Jingchuan's wife, Gao Yu, suddenly fell ill last month, and the doctors were helpless.

Remembering the medicine He Yuzhu had given him years ago, Huang Jingchuan risked giving Gao Yu one of the pills.

Thanks to this medicine, Gao Yu regained her life and recovered her health under the doctor's treatment.

After learning this news, He Yuzhu secretly replaced the wine he brought back with wine made with Lingquan spring water.

“Uncle Huang, this is perfect. I brought two bottles of medicinal wine. It’s very good for your health. Aunt Gao should drink a little every day.”

Huang Jingchuan had drunk He Yuzhu's medicinal wine. That was before the movement; every year during the Lunar New Year, He Yuzhu would send Lin Zhijie a few bottles.

Several old comrades-in-arms gathered together to drink medicinal wine, and each time they drank it, their bodies felt warm and comfortable.

"This gift is too precious. Come on, your aunt has been saying she wants to thank you."

The two entered the living room, where Gao Yu was resting on the sofa. Upon seeing He Yuzhu, she tried to stand up, using the sofa for support.

He Yuzhu quickly said, "Aunt Gao, please don't get up."

Gao Yu smiled and said, "Zhu Zi, come sit next to me. I want to thank you properly."

"You're welcome."

Huang Jingchuan placed the medicinal wine that He Yuzhu had brought on the coffee table: "Old woman, this is the medicinal wine that Zhuzi brought. Try it in a bit."

Gao Yu's eyes were filled with gratitude as she grasped He Yuzhu's hand and asked him about his family situation.

Upon hearing that He Yuzhu had come to Shanghai to invest, he immediately said, "That's easy. I'll call Tai Ning in a bit and have him come back."

Zhu Zi, you don't know, that kid Tai Ning often runs away from the army because he thinks it's too tiring.

I started a factory with some friends, and we're always out there running around.

Huang Taining is Huang Jingchuan's second son, and he is about the same age as Lin Jingcheng.

He Yuzhu had met him before. Back then, He Yuzhu went to visit Lin Zhijie and cooked at Lin's house. He was accompanied by a few little kids, who stood guard nearby.

“That’s perfect. I’m completely unfamiliar with this place and can’t find any connections. With Tai Ning’s help, I don’t have to worry anymore.”

Gao Yu immediately picked up the phone and called Huang Taining, telling him to get home right away.

Huang Taining entered the house and saw He Yuzhu, his face showing surprise and delight.

"Brother Zhuzi."

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "You still remember me."

Huang Taining said, "Of course I remember. I was even saying, when am I going to Beijing to visit you?"

Gao Yu said, "It's good that you remember. Zhu Zi came to Shanghai to do business."

"Aren't you in business too? I'll run some errands for your brother Zhu."

Huang Taining patted his chest and said, "No problem. There's no place in Shanghai that I don't know. Brother Zhu, what kind of business are you going to do?"

He Yuzhu then explained the electric vehicle plan.

Huang Taining said, "An electric bike? Is that thing any good? The electric bike from the Second Factory is just so-so, not even as good as a motorcycle."

And that battery, charging it is such a hassle, and it doesn't even go very far. I have to charge it every day, it's such a pain.

He Yuzhu explained, "You may find it troublesome, but it's a different story for ordinary people."

I've gotten my hands on some new battery technology, and the car's design is different from the one from Factory Two.

He Yuzhu casually took out the design drawings of the electric vehicle and showed them to him.

Huang Taining glanced at it and was indeed attracted: "This car is quite beautiful. Compared to yours, the one from Factory No. 2 is just clumsy and crude."

By the way, you said your battery technology is excellent, but it can't be used in cars.

He Yuzhu said, "Of course, no problem. The batteries are universal."

Huang Taining said, "That's simple then. Just supply batteries directly to Volkswagen."

Let me tell you, a friend of mine has an uncle who is the head of the purchasing department at Shanghai Volkswagen.

"Just let him know when the time comes, there won't be any problem."

He Yuzhu was overjoyed that things would turn out so coincidentally.

"That would be great."

Huang Taining asked, "Where is your factory located? I'll take them to see it later."

He Yuzhu said, "I came to Shanghai this time to find a place to build a factory. You know the area well, do you have any recommendations?"

Huang Taining pondered for a moment: "What size factory do you plan to build?"

He Yuzhu replied directly, "The bigger the place, the better. Electric bicycles are just the first step. Next, I also want to produce electric tricycles."

We need to build at least a dozen workshops.

Land in Shanghai is still relatively cheap, so of course the bigger the area you occupy, the better.

He Yuzhu believed that the more the better, so he acquired as much land as he could.

Huang Taining asked in surprise, "Can you come up with that much money?"

He Yuzhu said confidently, "Money is not a problem."

"Then you wait here, I'll help you find a place." Huang Taining agreed without any hesitation.

Gao Yu invited them to eat.

Huang Jingchuan took out He Yuzhu's wine and poured a cup for Gao Yu. The wine cup was small, containing only about two qian (a unit of weight).

At the same time, he poured himself a glass.

Huang Taining knew at a glance that He Yuzhu had brought them.

Back then, he was young, and the wine He Yuzhu brought wasn't even enough for Lin Zhijie and the others; there wasn't any for him, the little kid.

"Dad, can I have a glass to try?"

Huang Jingchuan glared at him: "What are you trying? This wine is for your mother to nourish her health."

Seeing that Huang Jingchuan was about to lose his temper, Huang Taining immediately shrank back. He wouldn't dare to provoke Huang Jingchuan even if he had two lives.

He Yuzhu sat next to him and listened to him mutter, "It's for my mom to take care of her health, so why are you drinking it?"

The sound was very soft, and Huang Jingchuan didn't hear it.

He Yuzhu turned to him and said, "I have two more bottles here. Come with me to the hotel later, and I'll get them for you."

Huang Taining was overjoyed: "I won't thank you enough. I promise I'll handle your matter perfectly."

His loud voice caught Huang Jingchuan's attention.

Great joy is inevitably accompanied by great sorrow.

"You have to hand over one of those two bottles of wine."

Huang Taining immediately made a face: "Dad, you already have two bottles."

Huang Jingchuan said without changing his expression, "Your mother raised you all these years, and now you're asking me to offer her a bottle of wine as a token of respect, and you're still not happy about it."

If I were you, I'd send both bottles to your mother. (End of Chapter)
