Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 1 Meeting ()

The sudden knock on the door made everyone in the office look towards the door, especially Li Shangkui and the other four bodyguards of Lu Shaohua, who put their hands on their waists, ready to draw their guns at any time. There was no way, they were used to it. Although they had been with Lu Shaohua for so long without encountering any danger, they still dared not relax and were always prepared for danger.

The door opened, and everyone saw the familiar face of Chen Guobang. Lu Shaohua and Chu Lei smiled, while Li Shangkui and the others put their hands back and nodded as a greeting to Chen Guobang. Chen Guobang also nodded in return, but Lu Shaohua saw another meaning, that is, Chen Guobang was very satisfied with the actions of Li Shangkui and the others.

"Mr. Chen, please sit down. I'm going to go out and do something." Chu Lei spoke first. He knew that Chen Guobang came to his office not to look for him, but for Lu Shaohua. There was nothing for him to do, so he simply went out to take care of the meeting room business.

"Yeah." Chen Guobang responded lightly, and without any hesitation, he sat down next to Lu Shaohua.

Chen Guobang sat down, and Chu Lei also went out, closing the door when he walked out. The office instantly became quiet, but this silence did not last long, as Lu Shaohua spoke up to break the silence.

"Brother! How are the arrangements over there?" Lu Shaohua asked.

"Yes, that's why I came here." After saying that, Chen Guobang paused for a moment, then continued, "The layout of the perimeter was completed a few days ago, and the layout of the interior was also completed yesterday. I just took a look around, and there should be no problem."

Lu Shaohua nodded. He was always very confident in Chen Guobang's work, but for the sake of safety, Lu Shaohua couldn't help but make an extra arrangement. "When Mr. Deng came, there must be bodyguards inside, but this is not enough. Let's send two more trustworthy people to guard the periphery."

Yes, Lu Shaohua made another arrangement, arranging two more people to guard, but they were only guarding the periphery. Why was it the periphery, not close? This is worth pondering. You know, a heavyweight figure cannot be guarded by everyone. Even if Lu Shaohua is willing to let someone guard him closely, they still don't agree.

Chen Guobang, who came from a military background, obviously understood what Lu Shaohua meant and said, "I'll arrange it."

"That's good." Lu Shaohua nodded.

"Well, I'm leaving now." After saying that, Chen Guobang stood up and said without turning his head. "I'll go check if there are any loopholes."

Careful and cautious, Lu Shaohua felt obvious changes in the base the moment he entered and got off the car. It looked calm on the surface, but Lu Shaohua could feel that the atmosphere was different from before. It looked calm from the outside, but Lu Shaohua knew how many pairs of eyes were watching the surveillance cameras at this moment.

Lu Shaohua was right. In a dark room in the Phoenix Security Company's building, Li Kai was sitting there, staring at a small TV screen without blinking, with a walkie-talkie in his hand. As long as he found something wrong, he would pick up the walkie-talkie and give orders.

……

The waiting time is always long. Lu Shaohua sat in the office in a daze the whole time. Even for lunch, Li Shangkui went to the restaurant in the base to get a lunch box and ate it. After lunch, Lu Shaohua sat there in a daze, motionless, with his eyes closed as if he had fallen asleep.

Lu Shaohua really fell asleep this time. Since the time had not yet come, Lu Shaohua might as well take a nap to get enough energy to deal with the next things.

Zeng Jianguo knew that Lu Shaohua was the behind-the-scenes boss of Phoenix Group, so it was impossible for Deng Lao not to know this. After the inspection, he would have to meet Lu Shaohua, because he was the real boss of Phoenix Group. But then again, even if Deng Lao did not plan to meet Lu Shaohua, Lu Shaohua would find a way to meet with Deng Lao.

Time passed by bit by bit, and the sky in the south was still blue, with few white clouds. If this situation happened in May or June, the sun would definitely be scorching and the temperature would drop sharply. Fortunately, it is still January, the transition between winter and spring, and the temperature is moderate, neither warm nor hot.

At exactly two o'clock in the afternoon, a convoy of more than a dozen vehicles slowly drove into the Baoan production base. Lu Shaohua, who was originally sleeping in the office, was also awakened by the noise of the cars. He rubbed his eyes and walked to the window to see that there were more than a dozen cars parked below.

Looking down from the fifteenth floor, the cars seemed very small, but Lu Shaohua had good eyesight and it was not difficult for him to see the license plate numbers of the cars parked below. Two of the cars attracted Lu Shaohua's attention the most, one with the license plate '粤b0001' and the other with the license plate '粤b0002'. There was no need to guess to know that these two cars belonged to the number one and number two figures in Shenzhen.

"Could it be that Zeng Aimin is here too?" Lu Shaohua thought secretly.

Not long after, facts proved Lu Shaohua's guess. Zeng Aimin really came, but he was not sitting in car No. 0002, but in an ordinary commercial vehicle at the back. After seeing everything clearly, Lu Shaohua sat back on the sofa, and glanced at Li Shangkui and the other four. "Brother Li, find a safe place to put your guns, and don't follow me later."

"Oh? Why?" Li Shangkui asked.

"Haha!" Lu Shaohua laughed and explained. "I'm going to meet with Mr. Deng later, and it's not appropriate for me to follow you. It's even more inappropriate for you to carry a gun. Even though you have a gun license, it's not allowed, so just put it away."

Now Li Shangkui understood everything completely. He nodded, took out his silver Desert Eagle, and then signaled to Zhang Qingyun and Yang Yang with his eyes. When the other three people took out their guns, Li Shangkui put them all away and placed them in a drawer under Chu Lei's desk.

"If that's the case, we don't want to go anywhere else, let's stay in this office," said Li Shangkui.

"Well, that's fine." Lu Shaohua did not object. After saying that, he closed his eyes and began to rest.

……

The clock on the wall ticked away, and before he knew it, half an hour had passed. Lu Shaohua had kept his eyes closed for half an hour, resting only when Chen Guobang came up and he opened his eyes.

"Xiaohua, Mr. Deng wants to see you." Without any nonsense, Chen Guobang went straight to the point as soon as he entered the door.

"Haha!" Lu Shaohua nodded and stood up, as if everything was within his expectations. "Let's go, big brother."

The meeting was on the twelfth floor. Lu Shaohua followed Chen Guobang to the twelfth floor. When they reached the door of the meeting room, Chen Guobang said, "Xiaohua, go in and wait first. I'm going back to the security."

"Oh?" Lu Shaohua looked at Chen Guobang with a questioning look, and then said, "Let's go in and wait together. You can also meet Mr. Deng!"

Lu Shaohua could see that Chen Guobang didn't want to meet the senior leaders, but Lu Shaohua had different ideas. He thought that it would always be good for Chen Guobang to meet them, at least he could broaden his horizons!

Seeing Lu Shaohua's serious expression, Chen Guobang knew Lu Shaohua's decision, and nodded helplessly, saying, "Okay."

Lu Shaohua and Chen Guobang sat in the office for nearly twenty minutes before the door was pushed open. Then the figure who could only be seen on TV appeared. He had a smile on his face and looked very kind. He walked in and looked at Lu Shaohua.

Lu Shaohua felt differently. He imagined the moment of meeting the old man in his mind countless times. Even though he secretly told himself to stay calm, when the moment of meeting actually came, no matter how hard Lu Shaohua tried to control himself, he couldn't calm down.

It was not because the old man was once a national leader that made Lu Shaohua unable to calm down, but because Lu Shaohua was so excited. He knew how much the leader in front of him had paid for the country's development. I believe that all Chinese people know this, especially the Chinese economy. If it weren't for the solid foundation laid by this old man, it would not have taken off so quickly.

Yes, if there were no elderly people, China's economy might not have developed so fast. As for Shenzhen, it goes without saying that the elderly have made an indispensable contribution to its becoming a special economic zone and developing from a small fishing village into a modern metropolis.

"Calm down, calm down!" Lu Shaohua said to himself in his heart. He took a few deep breaths and managed to control his emotions. After a long while, he said, "Hello, Chief!"

"Haha!" The old man laughed, his eyes still wandering on Lu Shaohua. After a moment, he nodded and said, "Lu Shaohua!"

Lu Shaohua was not surprised at all that the old man knew his name. He nodded. He had not yet fully recovered from his shock. He was still surrounded by excitement. He did not know what to say next, so he could only be polite. "Please take a seat!"

Lu Shaohua did not say 'you' but 'you', from which we can see that Lu Shaohua had full respect in his heart. There are really not many people in this world who are worthy of Lu Shaohua saying 'you', and the man in front of him who is already in his eighties is one of them.

"Haha! Then I won't be polite." The old man said very casually, and sat down in the side seat of the public meeting. Yes, he sat in a side seat, not the main seat.

The old man sat down. As the boss, Lu Shaohua also had to meet the people behind him! Then, Chu Lei, the executive president, acted as the middleman and introduced the people who came in one by one to Lu Shaohua. Among them were two acquaintances, Zeng Jianguo and Zeng Aimin, as well as the municipal party secretary and some directors of certain bureaus, all of whom were top figures.

While introducing those people, Chu Lei also introduced Lu Shaohua to them, but it was just a simple sentence. "The chairman of our company!"

What? Chairman of the Phoenix Group? What kind of person is that? Those who can come into this office are all heavyweights in Shenzhen. Naturally, this means something, but Lu Shaohua's age is a little hard for people to accept. However, this is not important, because the people who come here are very receptive. They smiled and shook hands with Lu Shaohua, then found a seat and sat down.

In this way, Lu Shaohua shook hands with more than a dozen people in a row, putting on a professional smile and greeting them warmly. When Chu Lei introduced the name of the last person, Lu Shaohua was stunned for a moment, his eyes widened, and his expression was even more exaggerated than when he met Mr. Deng.
