Siheyuan: He Yuzhu since 1958

Not long after, the call was connected. Gao Shuji's voice came from the other end of the line: "Lao Song, what do you want to talk to me about?!"

Director Song said, "Lao Gao, I'm afraid this joint venture is going to fail completely."

Gao Shuji asked, "Didn't you go to find He Yuzhu? Why didn't he agree to help?!"

Director Song said, "I asked my secretary to look for him. But he never came to the factory."

"What?!" Gao Shuji's face changed instantly, and he said in a cold tone: "What's wrong with this He Yuzhu?! Doesn't he have any feelings for the steel mill?!"

Director Song said, "Lao Gao, don't forget! No matter how much affection he has for the steel mill, he is the son-in-law of the Lou family."

In this era, joint ventures or sole proprietorships are the most popular. Although the current performance of the steel mill is not good, it can still barely hold on. Lou Zhenhua returned to Sijiucheng and launched several projects in succession. It is believed that Lou Zhenhua was the major shareholder of the steel mill. It is entirely possible to let Lou Zhenhua invest in the steel mill again. With the help of Lou Zhenhua's financial resources and connections, the steel mill can be upgraded and renovated. Sacrifice Lou Zhenhua in exchange for the good of everyone.

Those people originally thought that as long as they hinted, Lou Zhenhua would take the initiative to invest. However, they miscalculated this time. When they hinted, Lou Zhenhua pretended not to know; when they said it directly, Lou Zhenhua directly refused. Anyway, Lou Zhenhua's attitude caught everyone off guard.

Later, those people knew that He Yuzhu had become Lou Zhenhua's son-in-law, and they thought they could influence Lou Zhenhua through He Yuzhu. So they promised Director Song and Gao Shuji a lot of benefits, as long as they persuaded He Yuzhu to help them get this done.

Director Song and Gao Shuji thought that they couldn't deal with the people in their factory? So they readily agreed. As the saying goes, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Director Song and Gao Shuji never thought that He Yuzhu would ignore them.

As the saying goes, ruining someone's future is like killing their parents. Gao Shuji's anger instantly jumped from his feet to his head. After about two or three minutes, Gao Shuji suppressed his anger and forced himself to calm down. He said, "Old Song, it seems that He Yuzhu's way is not feasible. We can only change the way."

Director Song said, "We have already found all the connections we can."

Gao Shuji said, "I heard that Director Yang has a good relationship with Lou Zhenhua. Why don't we ask Director Yang to talk to Lou Zhenhua about this? He is the old director of the steel mill. He can't just watch the steel mill go to ruin, right?!"

Director Song said: "But Director Yang and I are not very familiar with each other?!"

Gao Shuji said, "November is coming soon. It is the duty of our current factory leaders to visit the former leaders. In a few days, we will take some time to visit Director Yang and mention this matter to him. Let him help us talk to Lou Zhenhua."

Director Song hesitated for a few seconds and agreed, "Okay! Let's do as you say. We'll go see our old leader in a few days."

When Gao Shuji and Director Yang were watching Director Yang in the discussion area, Director Yang, who was strolling on the street, ran into Lou Zhenhua who was also strolling. Director Yang looked at Lou Zhenhua who was getting closer and closer, and couldn't help but shouting: "Director Lou?!"

Lou Zhenhua stopped when he heard Director Yang's voice. The two looked at each other. After a while, Lou Zhenhua asked, "Are you Yang Changzheng?!"

Director Yang asked with a smile: "Boss Lou! Do you still remember me?!"

Lou Zhenhua laughed heartily and said, "I remember! I remember! Of course I remember! When we were just liberated, you were the military representative who contacted me." As he spoke, Lou Zhenhua saw a teahouse not far away and said, "Old Yang, we haven't seen each other for a long time. Let's go over there and sit for a while!"

"Okay!" Director Yang responded and followed Lou Zhenhua to the teahouse.

After entering the teahouse, Lou Zhenhua ordered a pot of tea and some snacks, and started chatting with Director Yang. During the conversation, Lou Zhenhua talked about the steel mill. Without waiting for Lou Zhenhua to finish, Director Yang interrupted and said, "Director Lou, listen to my advice! Don't agree to invest in the steel mill!"

Lou Zhenhua asked curiously, "Old Yang, why are you also advising me not to invest in the steel mill?!"

Director Yang said, "Boss Lou! The steel mill is different now than it was when we were there. People change. He only cares about fame and fortune, and doesn't have the fighting spirit we had in the past. Besides, the steel mill is a big burden now. The wages of the working workers, the wages of the retired workers, the medical expenses of the workers, and the welfare of the workers. Each of these is not a small amount. Most of the equipment in the steel mill is from the 1960s. If you buy shares in the steel mill, the first step is to replace the equipment. In addition, the workers are accustomed to the current working rules. It is impossible to ask them to change."

Lou Zhenhua said: "What you said is the same as what my son-in-law said."

Director Yang asked, "Boss Lou, I haven't asked you yet, who is your son-in-law?!"

Lou Zhenhua smiled and said, "You also know my son-in-law, He Yuzhu, the chef of the former steel mill."

"So it was him!" Director Yang echoed, "I don't know how lucky this guy is to marry your daughter?!"

Lou Zhenhua said: "Old Yang, our family was able to leave Sijiu City smoothly that year, thanks to his reminder."

"What?!" Director Yang was stunned and said, "He reminded you?!"

Lou Zhenhua smiled and asked, "Why?! You didn't expect it?!"

Director Yang said, "I didn't expect it! I really didn't expect it! It seems that I still misjudged this guy. But then again, when I was sweeping the streets in the factory, if He Yuzhu had helped, I wouldn't have survived."

On the other hand, when Director Yang and Lou Zhenhua were reminiscing about the past in the teahouse, a car drove into the alley where No. 95 Nanluoguxiang was located. Not long after, the car stopped. The young man sitting in the passenger seat pushed open the door swiftly, got out of the car, walked to the left rear door, and opened it. An old man got out of the car.

The young man said, "Boss, this yard is No. 95 Nanluoguxiang."

The old man nodded slightly and walked towards the yard. The young man followed him immediately. Not long after, the old man walked to the middle yard and asked, "There is an old lady here. Do you know which room she lives in?!"

The young man replied, "I asked around when I bought the house. She lives in the backyard. Boss, come with me!" After that, the young man took the old man to the backyard.

Not long after, the young man brought the old man to the door of the deaf old lady's house. The young man said, "Boss, the old lady lives in this house."

"Yeah!" The old man responded, walked forward, pushed open the door, and said to the young man, "You wait at the door!" After that, the old man walked in and closed the door.

The old man stayed in the deaf old lady's house for a while, walked through every corner of the house, and found nothing unusual. He walked out unwillingly. The young man hurriedly went up to her and shouted, "Boss!"

The old man said, "Go buy some furniture and find a few servants. I want to live here!"

"Yes!" The young man responded, saying, "I'll arrange it right away!" Then he asked, "Boss, are you going back to the hotel now?!"

The old man pondered for a few minutes and said, "Go back first! You must complete the task I have assigned you as soon as possible!"
