Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 802: Human Relations and Worldly Wisdom

There is no need to explain much about the relationship between Lu Shaohua and Chen Guobang. Lu Shaohua recognizes Chen Guobang as his elder brother. In the early years, Chen Guobang protected Lu Shaohua at the instruction of Lu Jiayao until Chen Guobang went to the Soviet Union. After that, Lu Shaohua stayed in Hong Kong for a long time and did not go back. Lu Shaohua rarely saw Chen Guobang. Now that Chen Guobang has come to Hong Kong, Lu Shaohua will certainly not ignore him.

It was precisely because of this special relationship with Lu Shaohua that Lu Shaohua rushed to see him shortly after getting off the plane. Otherwise, Lu Shaohua would not pay any attention to him, even if he was the president of a country, Lu Shaohua would not pay any attention to him.

Of course, in addition to the special relationship between him and Chen Guobang, Lu Shaohua also had other purposes, such as taking a look at the warehouse at Kowloon Wharf, caring about minerals and the like, and also Lu Shaohua wanted to ask Chen Guobang about things in the country.

Last year, at the end of 1998, Lu Shaohua had that incident in ***. After that, Lu Shaohua returned to Hong Kong and started a resistance, which led to the resignation of a vice premier and the death of the vice premier's two sons and one daughter.

After arriving, things changed and Lu Shaohua became angry again and retaliated. Before the incident was over, Lu Shaohua hurriedly left Hong Kong. On the surface, it seemed that it was because something happened in Africa, but Lu Shaohua also wanted to avoid the limelight.

Now that nearly three months have passed, the situation in China should have come to a conclusion, and the incident should have been resolved, but Lu Shaohua didn't know how it would eventually develop. Unfortunately, Chen Guobang was in charge of the Asian branch of the Tiger Roar Intelligence Network, and he knew the result, so Lu Shaohua was right to ask him.

It’s not that Lu Shaohua could only ask Chen Guobang. If Lu Shaohua wanted to know some inside secrets, he could ask Zeng Jianguo. However, Lu Shaohua did not call Zeng Jianguo, but chose to ask Chen Guobang, because Chen Guobang was considered one of their own, and although Zeng Jianguo was not an outsider, he was not a real one of their own either.

The more important point is that Lu Shaohua did not want to know the inside secrets. He just wanted to know the results. There was no need to ask Zeng Jianguo at all.

But then again, Lu Shaohua remembered that when he left Hong Kong, he told Chen Guobang to inform him if anything happened over there. But so far, Chen Guobang has not informed him. Does that mean that there was no accident?

Although Lu Shaohua had a vague guess, he did not dare to make a bold guess before hearing Chen Guobang say it in person. After all, there was another result with a certain probability. This other result was nothing else but the fact that Chen Guobang did not inform him because the matter had not yet come to a conclusion.

"call……"

Lu Shaohua took a long breath, shook his head, and decided not to think too much about it, because he would meet Chen Guobang soon and would know the exact answer. Any more guesses would only add to his mental burden.

……

Lu Shaohua's residence is not far from Kowloon Pier. Even if the car drives slowly, it will only take half an hour to get there. If you speed up and there is no traffic jam, the time will be shortened by half, which is about ten minutes to nearly twenty minutes.

Just as Lu Shaohua recovered, the car stopped in front of a large warehouse and arrived at the destination.

After waiting for Li Wusheng and the others to take protective measures and open the car door, Lu Shaohua got out and walked straight to the warehouse door.

The door of the warehouse was open, well, only a small door was opened, not fully open, and outside, there were four men in casual clothes standing there. On the surface, the four men looked lazy, but if you pay close attention, you can see that their positions are very regular, and they are guards.

It is no wonder that the four men were guards transferred from Shenzhen Phoenix Security Company, and they were responsible for guarding this large warehouse.

However, the four guards who were on high alert relaxed instantly, not for any other reason, but because they saw that it was Lu Shaohua who got off the car.

Who is Lu Shaohua? Everyone who works in Phoenix Group knows him, and they all know that he is the boss of Phoenix Group. Now that the boss has arrived, how dare they, the subordinates, stop him?

"Hello, Mr. Lu!"

One of the guards shouted.

One person shouted, and the others followed suit, shouting "Hello, Director Lu!"

Lu Shaohua is an open-minded boss, which is recognized by the employees of Phoenix Group. Facts have also proved that Lu Shaohua is indeed open-minded and approachable. Whether you are a senior executive or the most ordinary employee, Lu Shaohua will generally treat you with a smile.

So, when he heard the four guards greet him, Lu Shaohua smiled gently, walked to the side of a guard, patted him on the shoulder, then looked at the other three and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

As an employee of Phoenix Security, they were assigned to guard the warehouse as their job and a task they were supposed to complete. However, Lu Shaohua just said thank you for their hard work. What does this mean?

Maybe Lu Shaohua's words were just polite words, but in the ears of the four guards, a simple sentence became caring, concern, and consideration...

"This is what we should do. It's not hard." One of the guards smiled and replied.

"Yes, yes."

……

……

The other three echoed this, saying that guarding the warehouse gate was what they should do.

Seeing this, Lu Shaohua didn't say much, just smiled lightly, patted the guard's shoulder again, and walked straight into the warehouse. When he reached the door, Lu Shaohua paused and said lightly, "I will talk to your general manager to give you more bonuses."

Words of greeting are empty. Even if they can bring great comfort to people's hearts, Lu Shaohua does not think that one word can make people work hard and have low resistance to the erosion of boredom. They have to stand outside the warehouse guarding the door all day long.

What's more, there are some common minerals and some rare minerals in the warehouse. Security work is very important and there can be no mistakes. It seems reasonable for Lu Shaohua to give them a little more bonus.

They were happy, although not ecstatic, but for the guards like them, that was still a sum of money. As they said, no one would complain about having too much money. Even though the salary for security work in Phoenix was very high, no one would mind getting a little more money.

Of course, Lu Shaohua was destined not to see the expressions of the four guards, because Lu Shaohua had already walked into the warehouse, looking for Chen Guobang.

I have to say that this warehouse is really big, nearly fifty meters wide and about one hundred and fifty meters long. It happened that Chen Guobang was at the other end at the moment. When Lu Shaohua looked at him from afar, Chen Guobang's figure seemed a little small.

Fortunately, Lu Shaohua had no problems with his eyesight, and he could still see clearly that the figure in the distance was Chen Guobang. However, when his sight stopped, Lu Shaohua gave a wry smile, then shook his head, a little speechless.

Yes, Lu Shaohua was speechless, because Chen Guobang was wearing a white shirt, and a suit was hung on a pillar made of iron pipes beside him. *** was wearing a pair of trousers, looking like a successful person, but now he was doing hard labor, following a few people to carry things.

People outside may understand doing things personally, but Lu Shaohua would not understand it that way. He felt that it was a bit inconsistent with Chen Guobang's identity. It's not that Chen Guobang can't do things now that he is the general manager of Phoenix Security, but it's awkward to see him wearing a suit and doing hard labor.

Without stopping, he walked towards Chen Guobang. Chen Guobang didn't notice him until Lu Shaohua and his group approached. The footsteps pulled Chen Guobang back. He looked up at Lu Shaohua. When he saw Lu Shaohua, Chen Guobang just smiled and didn't stop. Instead, he moved the things he had just picked up to the side and put them down, then walked towards Lu Shaohua.

"When did you come back?" This was the first sentence Chen Guobang spoke.

"Just got off the plane." Lu Shaohua nodded, without saying anything more, but looked at where the items were piled, pointed, and asked. "Do you want to move it aside?"

Lu Shaohua knew that he could not hide his past experience in Africa from Chen Guobang, and Lu Shaohua did not inform others when he returned to Hong Kong. Now that he appeared in the warehouse, of course Chen Guobang had to ask about it.

As for why Lu Shaohua didn't say anything polite to Chen Guobang, it was because Lu Shaohua and Chen Guobang didn't need to be polite at all. If they were polite, it would be meaningless and not in line with their relationship.

"Minerals will arrive tomorrow, and these have not been sold yet. They are piled aside so that they can be classified later." Chen Guobang said embarrassedly.

Lu Shaohua didn't say anything in a hurry, but just nodded, then signaled Chen Guobang with his eyes, turned around and walked back.

Chen Guobang seemed to understand the meaning of Lu Shaohua's eyes. He followed Lu Shaohua without hesitation, quietly and without saying a word.

After walking for a distance, Lu Shaohua stopped, turned around, and asked Chen Guobang, "How is that matter going?"

Lu Shaohua knew that he had not explained everything clearly, and Chen Guobang also understood what he meant.

As expected, Chen Guobang nodded and said, "It's a result. He stepped down, his two sons and one daughter went to jail, and there is no chance of turning things around."

"Yeah." Lu Shaohua also nodded and responded lightly without saying anything else.

Yes, what else did Lu Shaohua have to say? Wasn't this the result he wanted? As for the vice premier being punished, Lu Shaohua thought it was enough. After all, this was the unspoken rule in China's officialdom. He was guilty of dereliction of duty, but he had reached the vice-state level after all, so sentencing was impossible.

Well, stepping down is the biggest punishment, isn’t it?
