Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 2 Meeting ()

The degree of surprise on Lu Shaohua's face was really exaggerated, a bit of disbelief, and even more excitement and happiness. Indeed, at this moment, Lu Shaohua's expression was very complicated, containing many kinds of emotions, but one thing stood out, that was excitement.

Who on earth did Lu Shaohua see that made him so excited? You know, there are many people who can show this kind of expression to Lu Shaohua, but at this time Lu Shaohua showed this expression, obviously the identity of the person who came is not simple.

This person was none other than Lu Shaohua's uncle, Lu Chang. According to Chu Lei's introduction just now, Lu Chang was already the deputy director of the Shenzhen Investment Promotion Bureau. Compared with when he was a secretary in the county government, his rank had been raised by who knows how many levels. That was why Lu Shaohua showed such an expression and felt very relieved in his heart.

"Uncle!" Lu Shaohua's hearty voice rang out in the conference room. The voice was neither loud nor soft, but everyone inside could hear it.

Anyone with a discerning eye would immediately understand that Lu Shaohua was backing Lu Chang up. Calling him out in a private capacity in front of so many government officials might seem inappropriate on the surface, but it was a different story if you thought about it more deeply.

It's a small matter that a deputy director of the Merchants Bureau is actually the chairman of the Phoenix Group. This identity is really scary. Those who can be the top leader of the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone are not fools. They all know that the Phoenix Group is not simple. Especially after they have been around the base, they have seen the extraordinary inside.

In today's China, if such a group does not have a certain background, it will not be able to achieve the current results. Therefore, the Shenzhen officials present had the same idea in their minds, that is, Lu Chang is not an ordinary person.

Lu Shaohua also grasped this point so that Lu Chang could go more smoothly in official circles. With his background as the nephew of the chairman of Phoenix Group, people would give Lu Chang some face, and it would be easier for him to get promoted in the future.

Facts have proved that Lu Shaohua's move today was correct. With the support of Phoenix Group and Zeng Aimin behind him, Lu Chang climbed up the officialdom very quickly. Of course, this is a later story.

After talking to Lu Chang for a few words and asking him to sit down, Lu Shaohua also returned to a seat at the side of the conference table and signaled with his eyes that Chu Lei would host today's discussion which looked like a reception.

Chu Lei could certainly see what Lu Shaohua was signaling with his eyes, but he was a little hesitant. The reason was simple: he was the executive president, but Lu Shaohua was the owner of the group. Logically, Lu Shaohua should have spoken, but seeing that Lu Shaohua ignored him, Chu Lei had no choice but to go ahead and do it.

"Thank you all for taking the time out of your busy schedules to visit Phoenix Group. On behalf of Phoenix Group, I would like to extend a warm welcome..." Chu Lei chattered on and on for more than ten minutes. All he said was thank you for the leaders' visit and how Phoenix is ​​what it is today thanks to the support of the Shenzhen Municipal Government. This made all the government officials sitting below smile.

"Our group will earnestly implement the spirit of the central government's instructions and strive to make more contributions to the country's economic development." After expressing his gratitude, Chu Lei raised the topic to a higher level. "Thank you, everyone. Now, please allow Mr. Deng to give instructions to our group."

Chu Lei felt that he had almost finished speaking, so he handed the floor to Mr. Deng. He was the protagonist of this symposium!

The old man was not polite. He first praised the group, then said that he would support Phoenix Group, and finally talked about the car. "Haha! Today I sat in the first car produced by Phoenix Group. I was deeply touched. Our Chinese automobile industry is not very developed and basically has no competitiveness in the international market, but that is in the past. Now we are competitive because Phoenix Group's automobile production technology is very advanced. I believe it will not be difficult to occupy a place in the international market in the near future!"

The old man was talking about cars. Lu Shaohua sat in his seat with a faint smile on his face, but he was very happy in his heart. This was undoubtedly like adding a car to a pile of burning firewood, making it burn more and more vigorously, and giving Lu Shaohua a new boost for the car promotion this time.

Soon, the old man finished the main topic, and his last words were: "You guys go and walk around, I'll rest here for a while."

The meaning of this sentence is very clear, which is to ask other people to leave. The old man wants to talk to Lu Shaohua alone.

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, everyone else went out. Many people left the conference room at once. Zeng Jianguo stayed, along with the old man and a big, cold-blooded man in a black suit, then Lu Shaohua and Chen Guobang.

Originally, Chen Guobang wanted to go with those people, but he did not leave immediately. Instead, he waited until everyone else had left. Then he stood up and saluted the cold-blooded man standing behind the old man. A loud voice rang out. "Instructor!"

Lu Shaohua was stunned. He looked at Chen Guobang, then looked at the cold man, and suddenly understood that the bodyguard protecting the old man was Chen Guobang's former instructor.

Young Master Lu was stunned, and so were the others. The old man turned around and questioned the cold-blooded man behind him with his eyes. The latter nodded to the old man and said in a neither loud nor soft voice, "He was a soldier under my command before."

"Oh?" The old man's doubts deepened. He knew that Chen Guobang was the general manager of Phoenix Security.

Seeing the old man's question, the cold-blooded man said again, "He made a small mistake when he was on a mission before and was expelled from the army."

When the big man talked about the "small mistake", he emphasized his tone, as if he wanted to say that the small mistake was not a mistake at all.

"I understand. Let's ask someone to check it out later." The old man did not make a clear statement, but his attitude was clear, which was to check it out. It seemed like he was trying to overturn Chen Guobang's verdict.

Although the old man had retreated, his influence was still there. The cold-blooded man nodded without even thinking about it and said, "I understand."

"Well, I see you haven't seen each other for many years. Go outside and have a good chat." The old man gave the order.

It is a soldier's duty to obey orders. The big man didn't say much. He nodded, gestured to Chen Guobang, and walked out of the meeting room, closing the door behind him. Suddenly, there were three people in the meeting room.

"Haha! Young man, you are good, very good." The old man looked at Lu Shaohua with his bright eyes and said with a smile.

"You're too kind. That was just a minor thing, not something that can be shown in public." Lu Shaohua spoke calmly, and that was the truth. After a period of adjustment, he had completely calmed down.

While remaining calm, Lu Shaohua also fully demonstrated China's fine tradition of humility. But then again, although his wealth is impressive, compared with the entire state apparatus, it is really just a small thing.

"Hey! I said that excessive modesty becomes hypocrisy." Zeng Jianguo, who was sitting on the side, couldn't stand it anymore and had to stand up and say something. Although he didn't know how much Lu Shaohua had, he had an idea in his heart.

"Haha! Jianguo is right." The old man also spoke at this time and stood on Zeng Jianguo's side.

"..." Lu Shaohua couldn't help but smile bitterly. He really didn't know how to continue the conversation. He had no choice but to change the subject and ask, "What do you two elders think of this base? Please help me correct it."

"Hey! Comrade, you still need to be beaten up, haha." The old man said with a final smile, then his expression changed and he said, "But speaking of the base, I have a question for you."

The old man's smile adjusted the atmosphere, making it less dull. Lu Shaohua also smiled and said, "Please give your instructions, Chief."

"Hey!" The old man sighed and said in a pretended unhappy tone, "Can you please keep calling me 'chief'? It sounds awkward."

"Oh?" Lu Shaohua was stunned for a moment, then reacted and climbed up the bamboo pole, saying, "Then don't call me Chief, call me Grandpa Deng, if you have any questions, please ask me, hehe!"

Undoubtedly, Lu Shaohua's words "Grandpa Deng" brought them closer together. The old man smiled and was very satisfied with Lu Shaohua's performance. He said "good" three times before asking seriously, "I visited the production workshop and research room of the base today, but I always felt like something was missing. Can you tell me why?"

Lu Shaohua's heart skipped a beat, and a smile appeared on his face. "I really can't hide it from you, old man." After a pause, Lu Shaohua continued. "In fact, the laboratory I saw today is not a research room at all, it's just a temporary piece together."

After finishing his speech, Lu Shaohua paused for a moment and continued, "Speaking of this, I have to apologize to you. I didn't mean to hide it, but the research room is related to the group's commercial secrets, and Coal Body is here today, so I can only do this."

Everything that needed to be explained had been explained, and Lu Shaohua had no choice but to do it. As it concerned the overall interests of the group, Lu Shaohua had no choice but to take such measures. At the same time, Lu Shaohua also believed that the two old men should be able to understand the deep meaning of his arrangement.

Sure enough, the old man and Zeng Jianguo both nodded to show their understanding. Then the old man looked at Lu Shaohua meaningfully and said in a joking tone, "I came here to investigate today, but you seem to be so dishonest that you even schemed against me."

"Oh?" Lu Shaohua was puzzled. He was a little confused by what he said. "What do you mean? I dare not plot against you."

At first the old man thought Lu Shaohua was pretending to be confused, but after a while he knew that Lu Shaohua was not pretending. However, based on his expression, he was not sure whether Lu Shaohua was pretending or not. "You really didn't plot against me, an old man?"

"No." Lu Shaohua seemed to be speaking seriously, but he was unsure in his heart. He could only go ahead with it. As for the answer, he had to wait for the old man to speak!
