People in the Siheyuan: I am a Buddhist who is in a mess

"Otherwise, why don't we stop various actions? It's just like combing lice out of your hair. We need to comb it several times. Only when it's clean can we sleep peacefully at night."

Zhou Kangri gave Lin Yi a very vivid metaphor.

"Lin Yi, you have to listen to your uncle's advice. Half of your uncle's injuries were caused after he changed jobs. If he wasn't so stubborn and wanted to work in the public security field, I would have advised him many times to change his job, but he would never agree to it."

Feng Yao also tried to persuade him, her words full of worry and heartache.

After leaving Zhou Kangri's house, Lin Yi did not go directly back to the courtyard.

Instead, he rode his bike towards Lou Zhenhua's home.

At the door, I rang the doorbell and the doorman came to open the door.

Originally, Lin Yi was going to come over two days ago, but after talking with Zhou Kangri, he asked Lou Xiao'e to tell him the next day that he would come over in a few days.

As for whether Lou Zhenhua would be angry or not, Lin Yi didn't take it to heart. If Lou Zhenhua didn't want to meet, that would save trouble.

However, the big boss's mind was obviously bigger than Lin Yi had imagined.

Of course, this is also related to Lou Zhenhua wanting Lin Yi to be his son-in-law.

Lin Yi now understood Lou Zhenhua's calculations and Lou Xiaoe's intentions.

In the plot, Lou Zhenhua was able to choose Xu Damao as his son-in-law in the end. Obviously, he did not have any other requirements for his son-in-law. The most crucial thing was probably his background.

Lou Xiao'e's kindness is the hardest to disappoint.

There is a saying: It is the hardest to disappoint a beautiful woman.

Although he had no intention of developing a deeper relationship with Lou Xiao'e, any man would be moved if a beautiful woman, especially a beautiful and rich woman, pursued him.

Sometimes, Lin Yi really wanted to ignore it and just sleep first.

I just don’t know why, every time my heart is moved, I have a sense of guilt, and I don’t know where it comes from.

Maybe it's what people often say, having the desire but not the courage.

"You're here. Dad is waiting in the study on the second floor."

Lou Xiao'e was very happy to see Lin Yi coming as promised.

She thought Lin Yi came here today to confirm their relationship.

Lin Yi got a promotion today. She knew about it in the factory secretariat and was sincerely happy for her lover.

Considering that Lin Yi said he would come to the house in a few days, Lou Xiao'e connected it to the matter of promotion, thinking that Lin Yi had received the news and wanted to have a more respectable identity to come to the Lou family to discuss their relationship.

Lou Xiao'e took the initiative to hold Lin Yi's arm, and pressed her bulging chest against Lin Yi's arm.

Feeling the softness of his arms and the special scent mixed with shampoo and a little bit of perfume, Lin Yi felt particularly good.

On the second floor, Lou Zhenhua was in the study.

Seeing his daughter coming in with Lin Yi, Lou Zhenhua's face was full of smiles. He now agreed with Lou Xiao'e's opinion that Lin Yi might have come to his house just to wait for the news of his promotion to spread.

Lou Zhenhua did not reject Lin Yi's thoughts, on the contrary, he admired them. On the one hand, the higher the official position of the future son-in-law, the higher his future promotion will be.

On the other hand, young boys and girls always want to show their best side, and Lou Zhenhua considers himself to be someone who has experienced this and can understand it.

"Xiao E, go check on your mother in the kitchen. Lin Yi and I will have some tea."

Lou Zhenhua ordered Lou Xiaoe to leave.

Lou Xiao'e's message said that Lin Yi wanted to talk to Lou Zhenhua alone.

Lou Zhenhua thought that Lin Yi wanted to negotiate with him about the conditions for Lou Xiao'e to marry Lin Yi. It was indeed inappropriate to discuss this matter in front of Lou Xiao'e.

If the condition is too excessive, Lou Xiao'e will definitely have some thoughts, and then it will affect an originally good thing.

After Lou Xiao'e left the study, Lou Zhenhua took the initiative to make a cup of tea for Lin Yi and looked at Lin Yi with a smile on his face.

Lin Yi didn't touch the teacup, and looked at Lou Zhenhua quietly. He was thinking about how to startle his words or persuade him gently.

Lin Yi didn't say anything, but Lou Zhenhua became a little restless. The young man in front of him was too ignorant, making him, Lou Zhenhua, act like he was in a hurry to marry off his daughter.

Just as the atmosphere was becoming increasingly awkward, Lin Yi spoke.

"Does Director Lou have any idea of ​​going south to Hong Kong Island?"

Lou Zhenhua was startled when he heard these words. He suddenly stood up and looked at Lin Yi with a gloomy face.

Lin Yi sat on the sofa motionless. This handmade sofa was very soft.

Without even looking at Lou Zhenhua's reaction, Lin Yi picked up the teacup, wiped the tea leaves floating on it with the cup lid, took a sip, pointed the half-open study door with the teacup, and put the teacup on the coffee table again.

Lou Zhenhua looked at Lin Yi deeply, then walked over, closed the door, and locked it from the inside.

"Chief Lin, what do you mean?"

Lou Zhenhua no longer called Lin Yi "Nephew Lin", but addressed Lin Yi by the section chief position he had just obtained today.

"Director Lou, I have heard a lot about you during this period. My old lady also speaks highly of you. My immediate superior and other elders in my family are also deeply impressed by your righteousness back then."

"It's just that, Director Lou, do you really think that in the current environment, the dividends you enjoy every year are safe?"

After listening to Lin Yi's words, Lou Zhenhua was unsure of Lin Yi's specific intentions. Was he here to uncover the Lou family's past, or was he using rhetoric to achieve other goals?

"I think it's great. It's a public-private partnership. The Lou family will hand over the property to the government, and the government will manage the property. If it's successful, they'll give a share to the Lou family. How can it be safe and secure to take this money?"

Lou Zhenhua didn't say anything else but just talked about the facts and explained the current situation.

"Director Lou, I came here today just to give you a reminder. I guess my words are not taken seriously, so Director Lou doesn't agree with what I said. However, sometimes the wind starts from the smallest things. It's better to prevent some things in advance."

"Even though leaving your hometown makes you look bad, it's better than having your whole family in prison."

"You can just treat what I said today as a young man who doesn't know his place and is just talking nonsense."

Lin Yi didn't want to analyze policy trends and social situations with Director Lou. Even if there were a hundred Lin Yis, they would probably not be a match for Lou Zhenhua.

Being able to enjoy such a stable and wealthy life in a new country, Lou Zhenhua's vision is obviously sharp and forward-looking.

This can be seen from his choice to marry his daughter to a worker.

However, what bothered Lou Zhenhua was the worry that Lin Yi mentioned, that people would be despised when they left their hometown.

After all, working hard in a strange place is not as safe as the old city that you have always regarded as your home.

Lou Zhenhua gave in this time.

"Has Nephew Lin heard any rumors?"

Lou Zhenhua was deeply aware of the declining living conditions of his class. Now that Lin Yi had said this, Lou Zhenhua did not dare to underestimate Lin Yi and wanted to find out some specific information.

Lin Yi shook his head and said lightly.

"There is no rumor or news. I told you, if you think what I said makes sense, you should prepare for a rainy day. There should still be some time."

"If you think it doesn't make sense, just treat it as the nonsense of a young man who doesn't know his place."

Lin Yi's attitude made Lou Zhenhua more and more uncertain for a while. It was not so easy to transfer the huge assets of the Lou family.

"Oh, Uncle Lou, listen to my advice. If you really plan to go south to Hong Kong Island, just take some gold and silver. There are some things that you should not take with you if you can."

"Our policy is different from the previous ones. Every blade of grass and every tree belongs to the country and the people. You are just a temporary custodian."

Lin Yi thought of this on the spur of the moment. In the plot, the Lou family left in a hurry to escape, so they definitely didn't take much with them.

Even if the land is seized or hidden due to corruption, in the end, the land will be gone.

Now, if the Lou family really listened to the advice and planned to go south to Hong Kong Island in advance, then some good things would definitely be taken with them, which would cause losses.

After all, many things are out of your control once you go abroad, and it will be very difficult to get them back.

Especially some national treasures. If they were lost overseas because of Lin Yi, he would probably slap himself to death when he found out.

Lou Zhenhua looked at this young man who was full of confidence but seemed to care nothing. He really found it difficult to make a decision and he couldn't be sure how much truth this young man said was.

It's not that he didn't express his concerns about the current situation to others. The most direct reaction to the increasingly tightening market is that life for them, the former capitalists, is becoming increasingly difficult.

Of course, these days are hard, but this is relatively speaking. Compared with the ordinary poor people, their lives are still as extravagant as those of the royal family and nobles in the past.
