Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 358: If you don't agree, go out and practice

Deng Lao said without thinking, "Those old guys are coming", which made Lu Shaohua feel strange. He didn't know who the "old guys" Deng Lao was referring to, but to be sure, the people who came must be big names, and they were from the same period as Deng Lao. However, these were just Lu Shaohua's own guesses. As for whether the guesses were correct, he would have to wait until the people came in and were introduced by Deng Lao to know.

Almost as soon as Mr. Deng finished speaking, Xiao Li, who had gone early to open the door, also opened the door. Then four white-haired old men walked in. From the sound of their footsteps, they could hear steady and powerful steps, and there was a unique temperament all over their bodies. Yes, it was a unique temperament. Lu Shaohua could feel that this temperament was very familiar.

There are only a few types of temperament that Lu Shaohua feels very familiar with. One is a successful person, one is an official aura, and the other is a murderous aura. Well, speaking of murderous aura, we have to mention Lu Shaohua's understanding of murderous aura. In Lu Shaohua's opinion, there are only two types of people in the world who possess murderous aura. One is a professional killer, and only a professional killer who has killed many people will have this murderous aura. The other is a soldier, or someone who has been through many battlefields and has it.

The four old men who came in, wearing black Zhongshan suits, made Lu Shaohua feel that each of them exuded a murderous aura, so Lu Shaohua was sure at the first moment that they must have been from the army. In addition, looking at their apparent age, Lu Shaohua was even more certain that they were at least people who had experienced the Anti-Japanese War era.

All kinds of speculations flashed through Lu Shaohua's mind, making him a little dazed. But while he was dazed, the four old men had already walked over, laughed heartily a few times, greeted Zeng Jianguo and Deng Lao, and without waiting for Deng Lao to ask them to sit down, they each found a seat on the sofa and sat down.

"Old Deng, how come your relatives have no manners at all? They don't even call out to their elders when they see them." An old man glanced at Lu Shaohua intentionally or unintentionally, and then said to Old Deng.

"..." Lu Shaohua felt depressed, as if people thought he was Mr. Deng's relative. He smiled bitterly in his heart, but he did not say anything. He just looked at Mr. Deng quietly to see how the old man would answer.

"You old fool, I wish I had such a relative." After saying that, Deng Lao seemed to realize that there was something wrong with his words and quickly corrected himself. "Oh! It was a slip of the tongue. He is my god-grandson and the future grandson-in-law of the Zeng family."

"Oh!" The old man who had just spoken shifted his gaze and looked at Zeng Jianguo, saying, "Old Zeng, when did you have a grandson-in-law? How come I didn't know about it?"

"You old fool, can't you be serious?" Zeng Jianguo retorted weakly, and his expression was full of pride when he looked at Lu Shaohua, as if he felt proud to have Lu Shaohua as his grandson-in-law.

"Damn, do I look so unruly now?" The old man seemed very unconvinced and glared at Zeng Jianguo. "Oh, you're still glaring at me, damn, you're not convinced, right? Go out and practice."

……

……

Everyone was speechless. Everyone could tell what the word "Zhou" meant. Practice? It's just a one-on-one duel!

Lu Shaohua felt even more depressed, and tried hard to hold it back. He wanted to laugh at this moment, but he couldn't laugh, otherwise he might get into trouble. As for why Lu Shaohua wanted to laugh, it was clear at a glance. Even at such an old age, it was still popular to fight alone, which really made people want to laugh.

"Okay, okay, Old Man Zhang, don't you think about how old you are? You still have the same temper. It's time to change it." As he said this, Old Man Deng glared at Old Man Zhang who had spoken just now.

Old Deng's words and eye contact had an unexpected effect. The man called Old Man Zhang really quieted down and glanced at Old Deng intentionally or unintentionally, as if he was afraid that Old Deng would get angry.

Seeing that everything had calmed down, Elder Deng smiled bitterly and shook his head. He said nothing more and changed the subject. "Xiao Hua, let me introduce you to someone."

"This man who is still looking for someone to practice with at such an old age is named Zhang, Zhang Tianheng. Oh, don't be fooled by his gentlemanly name, for he is actually not gentlemanly at all. Once he gets angry, he doesn't give anyone face. Oh, he already has one foot in the coffin, but he still refuses to abdicate and continues to hold the position of the head of the Northeast Military Region." Old Deng did not hold back and did not forget to insult Zhang Tianheng while introducing him.

Elder Deng's words undoubtedly revealed an important piece of news to Lu Shaohua, that is, this old man named Zhang Tianheng was not simple at all. He was the head of the Northeast Military Region, a local overlord, and a lieutenant general-level figure.

"Hello, Grandpa Zhang!" Lu Shaohua has always had a good impression of soldiers. Of course, he is also a person who can climb up the ladder by following the rules. Instead of calling him 'General Zhang', he called him 'Grandpa Zhang' in the tone of a junior.

"Well, good, very polite." Zhang Tianheng said like an elder.

Lu Shaohua looked at him with disdain. He still remembered that he had said that he was impolite when he first came in. He didn't expect that the word "Grandpa Zhang" would immediately change his attitude.

Elder Deng didn't pay much attention to this and started to introduce the second person to Lu Shaohua. "This person's surname is Li, and his name is Li Changsheng. Well, his name is the same as his fighting style. During the Anti-Japanese War, he was known as General Changsheng. He was one of the few great generals around Elder Ye."

"Haha, Old Deng, you are making up stories about me." Li Changsheng said with a smile.

"This is a fact, and it is history that cannot be changed. Well, Xiaohua, you have to call him Grandpa Li. Oh! I almost forgot, he is now the head of the Guangzhou Military Region." What Mr. Deng said was divided into two parts, one part was said to Li Changsheng, and the other part was said to Lu Shaohua.

"Grandpa Li." Lu Shaohua called out.

Li Changsheng just smiled and nodded without saying anything, as if he was very frugal with his words.

"Well, these two, the one who is a little fat is called Chang De, and the other one is called Zhao Hu. They are now like me, staying at home to grow grass and raise flowers. However, their sons are not ordinary people. They are deputy heads of Chongqing Military Region and Nanjing Military Region respectively." Old Deng introduced the remaining two together.

"Grandpa Chang, Grandpa Zhao." Lu Shaohua called again.

After Lu Shaohua finished calling out, Chang De's calm voice sounded, "Not bad, not bad."

"Yeah." Zhao Hu's tone was a little cold.

"Ah." Elder Deng sighed and said, "Old man Zhao, you are still the same as before, a little cold."

Zhao Hu waved his hand to indicate that this was how he was.

Elder Deng shook his head, ignored him, and revealed Lu Shaohua's identity. "Now that you four old guys have revealed your identities, it's time to tell him the identity of the person standing in front of you. He is the boss of the Phoenix Group, a private enterprise that is now making the rounds in the country, Lu Shaohua."

"hiss!"

……

The four of them took a deep breath and their expressions became eager. Even Zhao Hu, who was originally a little indifferent, showed a strange expression. What made them change was not Lu Shaohua's identity as the boss of the private enterprise Phoenix Group, but another unknown identity.

Back then, Lu Shaohua used three different types of fighter jets, a cruise ship and a frigate to trade five conditions with the country's top leaders. As high-ranking military officials, Zhang Tianheng and others could not have been unaware of this. However, even though they knew it, they also knew that the company doing the deal with the country was a company of the Phoenix Group. Now that Lu Shaohua is actually the boss of the Phoenix Group, it means that Lu Shaohua made that deal with the country.

Of course, there was another reason that caused their expressions to change, and that was Lu Shaohua's age. He had not expected that this kid who looked only a teenager was not only rich, but also possessed enormous power. Even those who once held great power on their side could not help but be moved.

"Mr. Deng, is today April Fool's Day?" Zhang Tianheng asked out of the blue.

Elder Deng did not answer Zhang Tianheng's question, but showed an expression that most people could not understand, as if to say, "Old guys, are you shocked?"

Seeing that Deng Lao didn't say anything, Zhang Tianheng suddenly lost his target, but when he saw Zeng Jianguo, his eyes lit up. "Old Zeng, is what Deng said true? Is he the one who shipped things from the Soviet Union to buy military technology?"

Zeng Jianguo did not answer and turned his head away.

"Damn it, Old Man Zeng, are you going to tell me or not? If not, let's go out and practice." Zhang Tianheng suddenly got angry and his hot temper came up again, and the first thing he said was to practice.

Lu Shaohua, who had already sat down, smiled bitterly again when he heard this. Seeing Zhang Tianheng repeating the same trick, Lu Shaohua really couldn't help laughing.

"Hmph! You are simply bringing shame to your Northeast. Do you think I'm easy to bully?" This time, Zeng Jianguo refused to accept the defeat. He stood up, rolled up his sleeves, and looked like he was ready to start a fight if they had a disagreement.

As the saying goes, even a clay man has a temper. After being provoked twice, Zeng Jianguo seemed to be furious and showed no sign of weakness.

"Hey, you're still trying to argue. Come on, get out of here." Zhang Tianheng didn't admit defeat and stood up.

All of a sudden, the two elderly men, who were over fifty years old, stared at each other like mad bulls, with a strong smell of gunpowder, but no one made a move.

"Haha!" Old Deng was the first to laugh.

"Haha!" Then the other three old men also laughed.

As for Lu Shaohua, he wanted to laugh but couldn't. He couldn't help laughing, so he could only purse his lips, lower his voice, and try his best not to laugh out loud.

"Alright, alright, you two have been fighting for more than ten years, and that time you really 'practiced' each other." When Elder Deng mentioned the word 'practiced', he emphasized it.

After these words were spoken, Zeng Jianguo and Zhang Tianheng's expressions relaxed a little, and they returned to normal, and then they both laughed.

"Old Zeng, your temper is still the same." Zhang Tianheng spoke first.

"You haven't changed, old man?" Zeng Jianguo replied.

Except for Lu Shaohua, the other people present seemed to have seen this kind of situation many times before. They all had faint smiles on their faces and leaned back in their chairs, acting as loyal spectators.

"Okay, everyone, take a seat. Don't embarrass yourself anymore." Elder Deng once again acted as the middleman. After the two of them sat down, he pointed at Lu Shaohua and said, "He is indeed the person you are thinking of."

After saying that, Deng Lao looked around, his expression became serious, and he got to the point. "I called you here today because I have something important to discuss."

Upon hearing this, except for Lu Shaohua and Zeng Jianguo who already knew about it, the expressions of the other four people all became solemn, and they waited quietly for what Mr. Deng had to say next.
