Siheyuan: The Rebirth of the Silly Pillar in the 50s

The trend of public-private partnership finally reached the steel rolling mill.

Lou Bancheng sat in his office for the last time, waiting for the knock on the door.

"Please come in."

As soon as he finished speaking, He Yuzhu walked in.

He was holding a briefcase in his hand and had hurried over after get off work.

Lou Bancheng turned around and smiled bitterly at him, his eyes no longer having the former look.

He looked too tired.

He Yuzhu thought silently in his heart.

"Zhuzi, you're here. Sit down quickly."

"Dr. Lou..."

He Yuzhu didn't know how to comfort him for a while.

Maybe he was overthinking it, and this all-powerful businessman didn't need his comfort at all.

"We won't say much else. I called you here today because I wanted to have a chat with you. We haven't seen each other for a long time. I miss you so much."

Lou Bancheng's jokes were a bit crude.

However, He Yuzhu continued talking.

"It's like not seeing each other for one day, like three autumns apart. Think about it, we may not have seen each other for two or three months."

"I still don't regret it."

Lou Bancheng suddenly said this.

"I'm old."

He said: "Sometimes I think about what I have gained after struggling all my life. This factory was built with hard work when I was a teenager and had nothing. I even donated things during the Anti-Japanese War. When victory comes, I We have all advanced and retreated with it. Now that I am handing it over to others, it is a lie that I am not sad. But I still have no regrets."

"I understand."

He Yuzhu said seriously: "In fact, you have always cared about the country and taken national justice as your lifelong struggle. This factory was not handed over to others, but to the country. The country needs it more than you. I think it will Let’s contribute more to the country!”

Lou Bancheng seemed very satisfied with He Yuzhu's statement.

He smiled and nodded and said: "Yes. I will be free after quitting. Besides, now it is a public-private partnership. People still have to give me some money. I still get my salary. I didn't expect that I have been a businessman all my life. , I actually got national food! If you tell me, who wouldn’t think I got a big bargain!”

"I'm relieved if you can think of it."

He Yuzhu smiled and said: "But when will the new factory director take office? Has there been any document from the higher-ups?"

"Director Yang has received the formal notice. The factory will hold a handover ceremony then. I was about to tell you about this, so you should come and participate!"

"I?"

He Yuzhu pointed to himself.

He is no longer an employee of the rolling mill.

He didn't know whether it was appropriate or not.

"Lou Xiao'e will come too."

Lou Bancheng smiled thoughtfully.

"You are..."

He Yuzhu was a little embarrassed.

"It's been a few years, do you really think that I, the father, don't know about this? Xiao'e is still too young now, and when she reaches the age, things between you two will be put on the agenda."

Lou Bancheng said sincerely.

"Do you agree with us?"

He Yuzhu was a little excited.

"What do I disagree with? As my daughter, Lou Xiao'e will definitely be happy to see her find a good home! You are very good and can take care of her. It's just the makeup of our family, so you have to be careful. Through this time, I I finally understand. Everything has variables."

"You don't have to worry about this. I will definitely have a way. I will not let myself suffer, and I will never let Xiao'e suffer."

Lou Bancheng looked at He Yuzhu with a very appreciative look.

He took another high look at the young man in front of him.

He could still see the shadow of the fifteen-year-old boy in him.

But you can also see the maturity of teenagers over 20 years old.

"I'm relieved. Of course I'm relieved."

Lou Bancheng returned to the main topic after a few words.

"Xiao'e will graduate from technical secondary school soon, and I plan to let her work in the factory. The boss will still give me this face."

"That's fine. The major she studied is just right for the factory, but wouldn't it be too unfair for her to start as a worker?"

"My daughter is not good at anything else. She just can endure hardship!"

Lou Bancheng's eyes lit up when he talked about Lou Xiao'e.

It can be seen that he is very proud of Lou Xiao'e.

"Don't look at her as a eldest lady, she seems to have a clean slate. But she has been influenced by me since she was a child, and she is very meticulous about her work. I plan to let her go to the front line first to hone her will. . Understand the hard work of frontline workers. I will transfer her to the office later. Director Yang has just arrived, and he is not very familiar with the steel rolling mill. I still have room to operate in these aspects. "

He Yuzhu nodded and said: "Xiao'e is actually quite good at doing business. It would also be good for her to get out into society early and get some training."

He feels that business acumen is hereditary.

In her previous life, after Lou Xiao'e followed Lou Bancheng and the others to Xiangjiang, wasn't she successful in business?

It shows that she is relatively talented in this area.

This is based on the fact that she has always been a housewife in the past.

If she had been training in the factory for a few years, she would definitely be more successful.

"Yeah. I want her to build a beautiful life on her own. Don't think I'm usually an old-fashioned person! But I actually think differently from other fathers. I think women must have a share no matter what. My own career. If you really rely on men all the time, it will definitely not be guaranteed. I don’t care about other people’s daughters, and my Lou Bancheng daughter is not happy to be so worthless!"

He Yuzhu immediately laughed when he heard this.

"You mean I'm unreliable?"

"Don't you have to let time prove whether you are reliable or not?"

After Lou Bancheng finished speaking, the two of them laughed.

After chatting, Lou Bancheng enthusiastically insisted on driving He Yuzhu back in person.

In the car, Lou Bancheng kept looking at the scenery outside, and couldn't help but sigh: "I have been walking this road every day for decades. I won't have to leave in a few days, and thinking about it, I feel a little depressed. "

"If you feel bored in the future, just call me. I'll stay with you."

"Aren't you busy yet?"

Lou Bancheng smiled and turned the steering wheel, and the car turned a corner.

"When my father-in-law comes to me, I can still take some time off from my busy schedule! But everything must still be focused on work."

"You boy!"

Lou Bancheng smiled even happier.

"If you have this heart, I'll be satisfied."

"Then it's easy for you to be satisfied. Other father-in-laws are not like this. Other father-in-laws' betrothal gifts require their sons-in-law to drain their wealth!"

"This is a new society. What kind of gift do I want?"

Lou Bancheng suddenly remembered something, turned around and said to He Yuzhu, "How about I give you two a house?"

He Yuzhu looked at Lou Bancheng and was stunned for a moment.
