Siheyuan: Enemy spies are captured every time
Chapter 107 Lou Bancheng’s Treat (2)
In recent years, his eldest son Lou Yi wrote to him many times asking him to go to Hong Kong, saying that it was a free world over there, without criticism and struggle, without turmoil, it was a capitalist world where money and freedom were paramount.
In addition, the Lou family has many businesses in Hong Kong.
In Hong Kong, he is considered a superior person!
But that was Hong Kong, now a colony of John Bull. Even if it was heaven, Lou Bancheng didn't want to go there.
Lou Bancheng has been wandering for most of his life, starting as an apprentice at the bottom and building up his current family business step by step. He is not unaware of the benefits of Hong Kong, but he knows it better.
What kind of life does a slave of a conquered country live? Even if his son says nice things in Hong Kong, he knows too well what it feels like to live under someone else's roof. After all, he has experienced it himself for more than eight years.
Although he was rich before, he could never stand up straight. Although most of his assets are gone now, he can still live his life with his head held high. He is not willing to go to Hong Kong to live the life of a slave of a conquered country again. This is why Hua Chengyu was not tempted to go to Hong Kong even though Xiao'e had persuaded him for so long.
But now, I heard that there is an official document to deal with people like them, so we have to take it seriously.
He knew that it was deadly.
After asking Hua Chengyu to sit down, Lou Bancheng looked at Hua Chengyu with a complicated expression. He didn't know what to do for a moment. In the morning, his daughter told him everything about her past with Hua Chengyu.
I and my wife were shocked for a hundred years. How could this lead to surrogacy?
Can I blame my daughter for this?
Her daughter didn't like Xu Damao in the first place, and marrying him was just her idea to reconcile the factors. But unexpectedly, Xu Damao turned out to be infertile, and the couple worked together to find Hua Chengyu to be a surrogate mother.
This kind of thing has never happened before and it is estimated that it will never happen again in the future. When I heard my daughter talk about it, what can I say?
What a confusing account!
How could the three of them, living under the same roof, pretend to be confused?
Hua Chengyu was also struggling with how to start the conversation. For a moment, everyone fell silent!
"Beep beep..." The fat manager poked his head out: "Director Hua, Mr. Lou, can we serve the dishes?"
"Serve the food, we'll eat and talk! Director Hua, what do you think?" Lou Bancheng waved his hand.
"Please serve the food, Mr. Lou. I'm sorry to have cost you so much!" Hua Chengyu also came to his senses and saw Xu Damao taking care of his one-year-old son, whose eyes were full of curiosity about everything.
"You're welcome! Mr. Hua, what would you like to drink?" Lou Bancheng has been entertaining people for half his life and is already very familiar with the process.
"The guest should follow the host's wishes. Mr. Lou, please do as you like. I am fine with anything I do." Hua Chengyu said with a smile.
"Then let's go with Xinghua Village. Xinghua Village is traditionally brewed. After a long period of aging, it has a mellow taste, rich aroma and a long aftertaste. I think it is one of the finest Fenjiu."
"Give me three bottles of Xinghua Village Ten-Year-Aged Wine." Lou Bancheng waved his hand and gave each person a bottle.
"Director Hua, Mr. Lou, the two ladies, and the young master, this is our roast duck, you can try it first!" said the fat manager with a smile.
A chef came in to slice the duck, but the fat manager repeatedly told us not to try the food. Given this guy's personality, if you dare to try the food, he would overturn Quanjude.
A sip of wine and a bite of roast duck, this is life.
There is a cold stove next to him, which makes Hua Chengyu feel a little intoxicated in this early spring in March.
Lou Bancheng is worthy of being a big businessman. He knows all kinds of customs and cultures from all over the world, which is really incomparable to ordinary people.
"How old is Director Hua?"
"I celebrated my birthday a few days ago, so I'm 23 this year!"
"23, born in 42. I heard Hua Chengchu was born in the northwest?"
“Yeah…” They chatted idly. After the duck slices were finished, the second dish was served, fresh broad beans mixed with abalone. Lou Bancheng really spent a lot of money on this.
The freshness of abalone and the fragrance of broad beans make this a very good appetizer!
You have to know that to be able to eat this dish nowadays, you must be rich or noble.
The first local dish, dry-fried four fresh ingredients, is a very appetizing combination of fresh flavors, including bamboo shoots, bean pods, duck feet and deep-fried browned duck breast. Its characteristics are dry, fragrant, fresh and sweet!
The third dish, the spring comes back from the mountains, the taste of spring bamboo shoots, the magic lies in the freshness! Fresh spring bamboo shoots are paired with green wild vegetables, which looks simple and refreshing, but quite artistic. It tastes even more fragrant and refreshing.
The fourth dish is roasted soft-shelled turtle with chicken. There is a saying among the people that eating soft-shelled turtle in spring will make you less sick throughout the year. Spring is the season when soft-shelled turtles are the freshest and most plump. This dish is not only delicious, but also can strengthen the spleen and stomach, replenish qi and blood.
The last two soups are standard official dishes.
"All the dishes are served, enjoy your meal!" After the last dish came up, the fat manager left the box.
"Come here, Director, I salute you, Dad, Mom, Xiao'e. Our Director takes great care of me in the unit. Without our Director, I would still be a small projectionist. I'll do it. You can do whatever you want."
After saying that, Xu Damao picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp.
"Hey, hey, Director, please do as you please. I, Xu Damao, am here to toast you. We have our own old rules: one big and three small, everything goes well." Xu Damao pressed down Hua Chengyu's wine glass.
"How come there is one big and three small ones, everything is clear?" Hua Chengyu looked at Xu Damao with interest.
"This one is you, Brother Hua. You are my leader. Although I am older than you, I count on my fingers and I am 30 this year. I am lucky and I have become a level 6 clerk. It is all thanks to you. So, Brother Hua, you are our sky. Not only our sky, but I think the sky of the steel mill will be yours sooner or later. Being able to sit and drink with you is a blessing that I, Xu Damao, have cultivated for eight lifetimes. So, you drink one and I drink three."
After saying that, Xu Damao picked up the bottle again and poured two glasses and drank them.
"Brother Damao, drink slowly and eat some food!" Hua Chengyu understood at a glance that Lou Xiao'e did not urge him to drink, and Lou Bancheng was just watching the show. He immediately understood that it would be easier to talk about things if Xu Damao got drunk.
"Come on, Brother Damao, let's have another drink!"
"Okay, you drink one, I drink a few, yes, seven, that's all."
"Da Mao, drink slowly and eat more vegetables to relieve the pain." Lou's mother couldn't stand it anymore. At that rate, one cup was five cents, ten cups would be thirty-two and a half, plus the amount from before, he would have gone through more than half a catty.
"It's okay, Mom, I know what's going on!" Xu Damao drank a few glasses and was a little drunk: "Brother, can you tell my dad, mom, and Xiao'e again about the red-headed document you told me today... about the approval document?"
"Da Mao!"
"Xu Damao!"
When several people speak at the same time, it's no small matter. Be careful, there may be ears on the other side of the wall.
"It's okay, Sister Xiao'e, uncle and aunt, let's keep our voices down!" Hua Chengyu looked around and had to admire Lou Bancheng's caution.
The private room he chose was the largest one in Quanjude.
"Wait a minute, Xiao'e, take the child outside to get some fresh air." Lou Bancheng was not worried.
"Okay, Dad!" Lou Xiao'e finished eating, stood up, and walked out without saying a word.
"Regarding the matter of submitting the approval document, uncle and aunt, I think you have seen it. I will not go into details about the specific form. I will tell you the content. It is about the bourgeoisie..."
"Complete liquidation of the bourgeoisie? Complete realization..." Lou Bancheng repeated these words over and over again.
He did not doubt the authenticity of the document. The wording and terminology used in the document were extremely rigorous and definitely not something that could be written by someone who had just graduated a few years ago.
Just one step away from official documents!
"Come, let's drink first!" After thinking for a while, Lou Bancheng raised his glass and said, "Da Mao, Director Hua, drink without worries. It doesn't matter if you get drunk. I'll ask the driver to take you back later."
"That's great, thank you Dad!" When Xu Damao heard this, he could have a good drink today. The food and wine were good, and he was happy drinking them.
Everything happened. Soon, Xu Damao was drunk before he even finished his meal.
"Xiao'e, go downstairs. Call the driver up and arrange a private room for Damao to rest first." After opening the door, Lou Bancheng said to Lou Xiao'e.
This Quanjude, more than half of the shares were once owned by their family.
Many employees here used to work for their family, and their family treated these employees quite well, so their family still has some ties to Quanjude.
Soon Xu Damao was sent down and was under surveillance. The driver also stood guard at the door and did not allow anyone to approach.
"Okay, Director Hua, no, I won't call you Director Hua anymore. I'll call you Xiaoyu. We also know about you and Xiao'e. You don't mind calling me that, right?" Without any outsiders around, Lou Bancheng now picked up the topic.
Hua Chengyu looked at Lou Xiaoe, who nodded.
"Okay, Uncle Lou!"
"I know that Xiao'e is not happy after marrying Xu Damao. It is because of my selfishness as a father. But you also know that we have come from that era, and it is difficult for us to abandon our homes and careers and start a new life in another place. What's more, that other place is not yet the territory of our country." Lou Bancheng said with a sigh.
"No, Uncle Lou, Hong Kong has been our country's inherent territory since ancient times. Sooner or later, it will be returned to us." Hua Chengyu said seriously.
"I also know these principles. I want to know who are the people in your family?" Lou Bancheng suddenly asked.
"Uncle Lou, I know what you mean. My family can't protect your family, nor can we protect you. In the current situation, it's already very good if we can protect ourselves." Hua Chengyu sighed.
"Under the general trend? What does that mean?" Lou Bancheng didn't understand what Hua Chengyu meant.
"Uncle Lou, what do you think is the main contradiction at the moment?" Hua Chengyu did not answer. He started by communicating with his father, trying to convince Lou Bancheng.
"Build the four modernizations." Lou Bancheng said without hesitation.
"Yes and no, at least not all. The four modernizations refer to: industrial modernization, agricultural modernization, national defense modernization, and scientific and technological modernization. However, in the process of building the four modernizations, some people have put forward different opinions." Hua Chengyu said slowly.
"Different opinions?"
"Yes, this year marks the end of the second five-year plan. The adjustment of the national economy has been basically completed. Judging from various data, my country's industrial growth rate has reached the first place in the world."
Hua Chengyu did not expect that his industrial standardization would greatly improve industrial modernization. Last year, the national GDP growth rate exceeded double digits for the first time.
The debts that should have been repaid were completed ahead of schedule, and there were savings in addition to the expenses for the major projects in the budget. After this major contradiction was eliminated, other problems gradually became active contradictions.
He didn't expect this!
An article in Lu's magazine alerted him, but no matter whether it will come in advance or not, people like Lou Bancheng will not have a good ending under the general background.
"That's because we have a weak foundation and don't have much industrial base," Lou Bancheng retorted.
"Even so, Uncle Lou, have you ever thought about............"
"No way?" Lou Bancheng was shocked. During the Chinese New Year this year, when he was analyzing these phenomena with his father, he was almost beaten to death by his father, but in the end, his father had to accept his opinion.
As long as you have the green mountains and land, you will never run out of firewood. Some things require timing.
His father told him not to tell anyone, but for the sake of his children, he could not care less and the Lou family had to leave.
After all, the few people behind lack some basics and are a little less interesting.
"I don't believe you don't feel anything, uncle?"
"How can I not feel anything? Xiaoyu, you don't understand our generation. It's not that I'm reluctant to give up this family business, but, hey... if we go to Hong Kong, that's John Bull's territory. We are afraid of being slaves of a conquered country. Even if we are like this now and get criticized in the future, I'm not afraid!"
Lou Bancheng sighed and spoke slowly.
"I understand. I understand. I was born in 42 and grew up in the midst of wars. How could I not understand?" Hua Chengyu also sighed.
It is impossible to prevent it, we can only try to minimize the losses.
"Nanzhengbeizhan, Xiaoyu, your family?" The Northwest, Nanzhengbeizhan, and then thinking about the fact that Hua Chengyu is only 23 years old and has been a level 13 cadre for more than a year.
You know, even if you look at the whole country, a 23-year-old level 3 cadre is very young in that era.
