Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 163: 'Knocking'

Lu Shaohua did not deny his inner thoughts. He was indeed guessing the identity of the white-haired old man, because after he came in, the bodyguard who opened the door just now was standing behind the old man on guard. It was obvious at a glance that he was protecting him. In addition, Zeng Yuling had just leaned so intimately against the old man, and Zeng Aimin's expression was full of respect for the old man. Everything made Lu Shaohua confused.

"Haha! Let me introduce myself." The old man laughed heartily. "Listen carefully, little ones. My name is Zeng Jianguo."

Zeng? Lu Shaohua automatically filtered out the last two people. The word Zeng kept circling in his mind. Thinking back to everything that had just happened, he suddenly came to a conclusion: Zeng Jianguo had a certain relationship with Zeng Aimin's family.

But what Lu Shaohua didn't expect was that this relationship was not an ordinary one, because Zeng Jianguo's next words made Lu Shaohua completely understand. "I am Yuling's grandfather."

That's right, Zeng Jianguo is Zeng Aimin's father and Zeng Yuling's grandfather. This also explains why Zeng Yuling leaned on him intimately and looked at Zeng Aimin with respect. Because with Zeng Aimin's current status, there are not many people he can respect. The answer to the question of who can make Zeng Aimin respect and Zeng Yuling so intimate is obvious.

Lu Shaohua just smiled faintly, but it was a bitter smile. He had no choice but to express it with a smile because he really couldn't think of how to address Zeng Jianguo.

Obviously, Zeng Jianguo was also a smart man. Seeing Lu Shaohua's expression, he laughed and said, "Just call me Grandpa Zeng."

"Hello, great-grandfather!" Lu Shaohua called sweetly. But in his heart, he was muttering, when I get your granddaughter, I should remove the word 'Zeng' in front and call him grandpa instead. Of course, Lu Shaohua could only say this in his heart, and he dared not say it outwardly. As soon as he saw the cold man standing behind him, he knew that Zeng Jianguo's identity was not simple!

"Haha! Boy! You are very good. The gift you just gave to Yuling must have been bought from Japan, right?" Zeng Jianguo said, with a gleam in his eyes, staring at Lu Shaohua without blinking.

As for Lu Shaohua, when he heard the word "Japan", his heart tightened and his expression flashed with a hint of surprise, but he quickly hid it and returned to his usual calmness. He nodded to indicate that he brought it back from Japan, but in his heart he was wondering how Zeng Jianguo knew that he went to Japan? Not many people knew that he went to Japan.

Seeing that Lu Shaohua was only slightly surprised and quickly returned to normal, Zeng Jianguo could not help but nodded in his heart to express his appreciation for Lu Shaohua. At the same time, a sentence flashed through his mind. "Good boy, you really hide it well. If no one noticed it, I really wouldn't know that you have so many secrets. It's really not simple!"

Just as the words flashed through his mind, another voice popped up in his heart. "No, we have to give him a warning. The country is in great need of money now, how can we let this billionaire go?" So, a conspiracy to punish Lu Shaohua slowly formed in Zeng Jianguo's mind, while Lu Shaohua was confused about why Zeng Jianguo knew that he went to Japan.

After a long while, Zeng Jianguo seemed to have completed the conspiracy plan named "Knocking" and said, "I heard that Shenzhen is going to build the Window of the World. Is this project yours?"

This is undeniable. The project was negotiated with Zeng Aimin, and as Zeng Jianguo's son, it was not wrong for Zeng Aimin to reveal it. "Yes, this project was planned two years ago."

"Well, it was indeed decided two years ago, but it seems that in the contract you planned to start construction at the beginning of this year!" Zeng Jianguo glanced at Lu Shaohua and then said, "It seems that what you lack most now is not money, why haven't you started construction yet?"

Lu Shaohua's face changed this time, becoming very solemn. He knew what Zeng Jianguo meant by this sentence, which meant that all the secrets of his trip to Japan were exposed to others. He took a breath and calmed down his emotions. He still didn't understand what Zeng Jianguo meant by these words, so he could only answer honestly. "Indeed, the last thing I lack now is money. I was busy some time ago, and now I'm back to start construction."

Seeing Lu Shaohua's face become serious, Zeng Jianguo was actually very happy. "Hehe! I told you to calm down, I told you to calm down. You can't do it without a warning."

Otherwise, Zeng Jianguo was a typical naughty boy, who was old but not old at heart, and was just having fun. Of course, in his eyes, since he knew the secret of Lu Shaohua going to Japan, he no longer regarded Lu Shaohua as a teenager, but as a serious adult.

"Oh! I also heard that there is a company called Phoenix in Hong Kong. Oh! Yes, it is called Phoenix Financial Company. The company is extremely rich! It seems that it held a press conference this morning to inject 20 billion US dollars." Zeng Jianguo said as if with emotion.

"Oh! Is that true? Hey! He's really rich!" Lu Shaohua looked at Zeng Jianguo and said in surprise. He was really unsure of Zeng Jianguo's intentions, because these were all Lu Shaohua's secrets, especially Phoenix Financial Company, because the registered legal representative was Liu Mingzhang, so it was difficult for ordinary people to find out, but Zeng Jianguo knew it clearly.

Zeng Jianguo glanced at Lu Shaohua and thought to himself, "Pretend, pretend, pretend, I'll let you pretend." But he only said it in his mind, and on the surface he looked like a normal person with a smile on his face. "Yes! That company is really rich. Oh! But according to what I heard, the boss behind that company is called Lu something, um, yes, Lu Shaohua, that's right, Lu Shaohua."

"Oh! His name is Lu Shaohua, which is the same as yours." At this time, Zeng Aimin also interrupted. He and Zeng Jianguo have been father and son for decades. How could he not know that his father was deliberately criticizing Lu Shaohua.

Seeing the father and son playing a double act, what else could Lu Shaohua do? He used the "pretend" method again and said pitifully, "Oh! He is so lucky, but it's a pity that he has the same name as me, but I don't have any money."

Zeng Aimin and his son only had one thought in their minds at this time. "This kid is too good at pretending." They could only smile bitterly and shook their heads. But they had no choice. Lu Shaohua just refused to admit it. What else could they say? Finally, Zeng Jianguo spoke up. "Okay, kid, you don't have to pretend anymore. Everyone knows about your little shit!"

"Oh! Grandpa Zeng! What's the matter? I don't understand what you are saying." Lu Shaohua still pretended not to know.

"Hey! Okay, okay, I admit defeat!" Zeng Jianguo shook his head with a wry smile, then his expression became serious and he said, "I came to Shenzhen this time just for your matter. The central government knows everything about you, so you don't have to hide it. Let's talk about business next."

At this time, Lu Shaohua still didn't know why their secret was known. He was no longer worthy of being a reborn person. It turned out that the state machine had noticed him. "Then tell me what's going on. I'm all ears."
