Siheyuan: I'm not happy, don't even think about having a good life
Chapter 84 Engagement
Hong Guan, who was having breakfast, turned his head and looked outside. He saw an old lady carrying food and walking hurriedly to the backyard. He immediately guessed that Yi Zhonghai had not returned yet, and he went to ask the deaf old lady for help in recruiting someone.
As for whether the deaf old lady would take it to heart, there is no doubt that these two people are her henchmen!
After dinner, he said he was going to see Lou Xiao'e, and left the courtyard under He Yushui's resentful gaze.
When I rode my bike to the vicinity of Pigeon City, I could see a few people in civilian clothes wandering around. I didn’t know if they were plainclothes officers, coming to catch the fish that had escaped the net!
When I arrived at Lou Bancheng's small building, I saw a figure standing at the window of a bedroom on the second floor. When he saw Hong Guan coming, he immediately smiled and turned away.
As soon as I parked the car, Lou Xiao'e opened the door and came out. She was wearing a small dress in the style of the Republic of China, looking like a lady from a noble family. "Hong Guan, you're here!"
Hong Guan walked over and took Lou Xiao'e's hand. Her skin was very smooth without any calluses. "Did you miss me?"
Lou Xiao'e's face flushed red, and she stamped her feet in disapproval, "No, don't talk nonsense!"
Hong Guan pretended to be sad and put her hand on his heart. "Do you feel it? You said you didn't miss me. My heart is so sad!"
Lou Xiao'e's face turned even redder, and she whispered, "Slippery tongue!"
Hong Guan smiled nonchalantly, "Then would you like to go to the movies with a smooth-talking person like me?"
"Are there any good movies recently?"
"I don't know either, but I think there's no need to know the answer in advance. Life is a game, and it's interesting when there are surprises and accidents, don't you think?"
Lou Xiao'e had been restricted since she was a child, and what she longed for most was freedom. When she heard Hong Guan's words, she immediately nodded with a little excitement on her face.
Hong Guan praised himself in his heart, I am really smart, I couldn't pick up girls in my previous life just because I was too ugly. Just as he was about to take Lou Xiaoe away, Lou Bancheng suddenly opened the door and said, "Hong Guan, excuse me for delaying you for a moment, come in and chat for a while."
What can I do? I can only nod and say "Okay, Uncle Lou."
The three of them came to the hall and sat down. Lou Xiao'e sat next to Hong Guan. A servant in his forties, holding tea sets, squatted beside the tea table and made tea. "Hong Guan, try it. This is authentic Lu'an Guapian. It took me a lot of effort to get this."
"Okay, thank you Uncle Lou, but I seldom drink tea, so I can only think of myself as a cow chewing on a peony!"
Lou Bancheng smiled and nodded at Hong Guan. "You're a good kid. I like your honesty. The last time I talked to you, it seemed like you knew a little bit about Hong Kong?"
"I only know a little bit, so I don't dare to show off in front of Uncle Lou."
"How do you know the situation over there?"
"I know some people in the compound. Some of them work at Huarun. I learned some information from him!"
Lou Bancheng was stunned, and glanced at Hong Guan, with a hint of solemnity in his eyes. "You are young and promising. It is difficult for me to get in touch with Hua Run! Last time you said that it is better to do real estate in Hong Kong. I wonder what you think about cooperating with foreigners?"
Hong Guan shook his head directly, "Uncle Lou, I think we can have some contact with foreigners, but it is best to have a pure financial relationship. Don't think about cooperation, which is unrealistic. You should know that foreigners look down on us.
If we try too hard to cooperate, we will not be taken seriously and the foreigners may treat us like dogs. Secondly, we will be easily cheated. The foreigners have troops stationed in Hong Kong. Even if they are obviously trying to cheat you, you have to endure it and there is no place to complain!"
Lou Bancheng nodded solemnly, "That's true, but the threshold for real estate is a bit high. Your second brother is in Hong Kong, so he can't reach that level, and people won't give him a chance."
Hong Guan took out a box of special cigarettes given by Li Fugui, handed one to Lou Bancheng and lit it. "Uncle Lou, I think we shouldn't rush to buy land and build houses ourselves. First, for the reason you mentioned, we can't integrate into the circle; second, it's Hong Kong, and if we don't understand building materials, it's easy to suffer a big loss. Buying an existing house is a better way."
“Is there any other business to do?”
"That's the fast-moving consumer goods business of clothing. Foreigners look down on us. The clothing and related businesses in Hong Kong are all made according to the styles in Europe. Most of us are thin and small, and the clothes we wear are too big and look weird.
If we can make it according to the pattern of the flower-growing family, it will be more comfortable and slim-fitting, and the business will be very good!"
Lou Bancheng slapped his thigh, startling Lou Xiaoe. "Okay, Hong Guan, you said it very well. Why didn't I think of it? If we make our own Chinese pattern, the business will definitely be great!"
Hong Guan smiled and shook his head, "Uncle Lou, we are not making our own Chinese version, but our own yellow version. We should not only focus on Hong Kong, but also export it!"
"Haha, yes, yes, you are absolutely right. Don't limit yourself to Hong Kong, you can make more money outside!"
"As long as Uncle Lou agrees, that's good enough. I just came up with an idea. To really implement it, Second Brother needs to take action."
"Your idea is the most important. Otherwise, your second brother is nothing. Hong Guan, I see that you like Xiao E very much, and Xiao E likes you too. When do you plan to marry Xiao E?"
Lou Xiao'e, who was a little drowsy after listening to the two talking about something, immediately became alert, her little face flushed, "Dad, why are you talking so bluntly, as if I can't get married, so annoying, we are going out to see a movie, let's talk about it next time!"
Hong Guan pulled Lou Xiao'e, who was about to stand up, and asked her to sit down again, then hugged her in his arms and said, "Uncle, I don't understand much about these things, just follow your ideas. As for getting a marriage certificate, of course the sooner the better.
But as for the wedding, I think we should just have a little fun among ourselves. Given the current situation, it is not appropriate to have a grand wedding, and the Lou family should not be too high-profile."
Lou Bancheng nodded with satisfaction. "You are a sensible child. It's good that you don't feel wronged. When you marry Xiao'e, you can tell me if you need anything in the future."
Hong Guan nodded, took out a wooden box from his pocket and put it in Lou Xiao'e's hand. Lou Xiao'e slowly opened it and inside was an imperial green bracelet. This thing, no matter when, is a top-quality item and is Ximen Qing's collection.
"Xiao'e, this is a family heirloom left by my parents. They wanted to leave it to their daughter-in-law. It's a pity that they didn't see that day. Can I bring it to you?"
Lou Xiao'e was so excited that she almost cried. She nodded repeatedly, then quickly shook her head, "Brother Guan, I'd better put the things away. It's not convenient to take them out, and I'm afraid they will get damaged."
"Sure, you can do whatever you want!"
Lou Tan also came out at this time. Seeing the two of them, she was very happy. "Hong Guan, since you are sure to marry Xiao'e, then you can find a time next week to get the marriage certificate with Xiao'e.
As for the business, we will choose a good day, set up a few tables at home, and introduce the Lou family’s friends to you! Do you think this arrangement is okay?"
Hong Guan nodded and said, "Auntie, forget about introducing friends. The wind is not right now and it is easy to cause problems. It would be fine if the relatives just had a meal together."
He took Lou Xiao'e out to play for a day and brought her back at around four in the afternoon. Taking advantage of the dim sky, he held Lou Xiao'e in his arms and kissed her again and again before letting her go home!
I went to take a look at the yard and found that the food had been taken away. I decisively put all the furniture into the Forest Manor. The house suddenly became empty. It seems that I have to find an opportunity to add some furniture.
It is impossible to buy new ones because there are not so many furniture tickets, but you can go to trust stores or scrap collection stations to have a look.
Scrap collection stations these days do more than just collect junk. You can find a lot of treasures here, including furniture, but they’re not as new as those in trust stores.
I went out and replaced the lock on the gate. From now on, this courtyard will be mine.
As soon as I rode my bike back to the courtyard, Yan Bugui came to meet me, and he couldn't hide the smile on his face. "Uncle, what good news has happened to you that makes you so happy?"
"Hehe, you just came back, so you don't know. Yidaye and Shazhu went to Pigeon City last night. They were unlucky and got caught. I heard that Shazhu was shot in the arm."
"How do you know about the Third Master?"
"Not long after you left, the police came. It happened that an old lady was helping a deaf old lady to the front yard to go out. They ran into them. Everyone in the front yard knew about it! Old Yi is in trouble this time!"
"Thank you, Third Uncle. You are well-informed. If there is any disturbance in our yard in the future, you must let me know!"
Yan Bugui patted his chest and said, "Okay, hold me!"
Hong Guan smiled, took out a small bag of fishing bait and put it in Yan Bugui's hand. The old man pushed it twice and then pretended to accept it with difficulty, which made Hong Guan feel that this was giving New Year's money to the younger generation!
When he got home and opened the door, he saw He Yushui sitting there without turning on the lights, just like last time, which made Hong Guan helpless. Who did she learn this from? There are no messy family ethics dramas in this era!
Hong Guan skipped the previous process, picked the person up, and had a verbal battle for a while. Then He Yushui happily took the two ducks and a piece of braised venison and went to heat up the meal.
After He Yushui returned to the house, Hong Guan opened the system. From Wednesday to now, there was a huge explosion of emotional values yesterday, and today was not small either, a total of an increase of 100,000. It was really cool, and the time for crossing was closer.
After breakfast the next morning, Hong Guan told everyone to lock the door and left on his bicycle. He walked all the way to the steel rolling mill and pushed his bicycle into the factory, where he heard people whispering.
"What's the use of the medical department in our factory? They can only prescribe some painkillers. You ask them to help treat you, but they ask you to go to the hospital for an X-ray. They are all quacks.
Zhang Jianguo from the forging workshop wanted the doctor to massage his skin. Guess what the doctor said. He said if he wasn't careful, the patient might become paralyzed. Zhang Jianguo was scared to death. He just prescribed some painkillers and continued to work.
Yesterday, that rubbish doctor became the deputy director of the medical department. We work so hard, but we are still workers. It’s really unfair!”
Hong Guan quickly walked up to these people, memorized their appearances, and watched them walk into the fitter workshop. He quickly realized that these people were all Yi Zhonghai's dogs.
First, arrange for someone from the forging workshop to appear to have nothing to do with him. If he fails to commit fraud, then let someone spread rumors and slander him. The method is very crude, but in this era, it is very effective if word of mouth spreads from one person to ten people, and from ten to a hundred people.
After showing up at the medical department, he went straight to Li Fugui's office. When he saw Hong Guan coming in, Li Fugui was a little surprised, "Why are you here?"
Hong Guan pushed the three pills over and said, "Director Li, I didn't want to come at first, but I just became the deputy section chief and someone is trying to deceive me. I'm afraid of causing trouble if I handle it myself, so I have to let you know first."
Li Fugui took the three pills with a smile and put them into the drawer. Of course, the more the better. If he couldn't use them all, he could give them to his father-in-law to help him use his connections, or he could give them to his subordinates to increase their loyalty.
"Tell me, what's going on? If you were to do it yourself, how would you like to do it?"
Hong Guan told him about Zhang Jianguo from the forging workshop the day before yesterday and what he heard today. "My guess is that Yi Zhonghai wants to make trouble for me. Although everyone knows that he is not a good person, he is a seventh-level fitter. If he teaches someone something casually, it will benefit others a lot.
So there are still people willing to be his lackeys, and he may have given them other benefits, which I don’t know. ”
Li Fugui looked at Hong Guan with amusement, "How did you offend Yi Zhonghai? You are already a deputy section chief, but he still wants to go against you and won't let you go!"
Hong Guan could only tell Li Fugui about the situation in the courtyard without adding any exaggeration. In fact, Yi Zhonghai just wanted to be the boss. It was the same in the TV series. He and Sha Zhu were a literary and a martial artist, and they suppressed everyone in the courtyard.
Li Fugui laughed and said, "There are so many turtles in a shallow pond. It's just a broken yard, but it's still not peaceful. If you do it yourself, what do you want to do?"
"Go to the security department. I'm in the medical department and I follow all the rules and regulations. Besides, I'm not a Chinese medicine practitioner, so what's the problem with me not being able to set bones? I'm the deputy section chief after all. I heard they were spreading rumors, so I can just ask the security department to arrest them.
They are not tough guys. When they are in the security department's dark room, they have to confess even if they watched a widow take a bath when they were little!"
Li Fugui laughed loudly after hearing this. "Okay, you are ruthless, but your method is too blunt. Yi Zhonghai is a seventh-level fitter after all. It is impossible to kill him with one blow. It is best to take a long-term view."
"Director Li, I just want to live and work well, but someone won't give me a chance! If it were normal times, I wouldn't be able to give him a profound education, but you don't know this, this old guy and his dog Shazhu went to Pigeon City on Saturday night and were caught!"
Li Fugui showed a delighted expression, "Oh? There is such a thing, how come I don't know about it?"
Hong Guan thought for a while before speaking, "I heard that they were injured and should be in the hospital. It is impossible not to inform the factory about this kind of thing! There is only one possibility, the police notified Director Yang.
Director Yang wanted to make a big deal out of a small matter, so he didn't inform anyone else. If a few days had passed, everyone would have no chance to bring up the past. "
Li Fugui touched his chin and said, "Haha, this is really possible. Old Yang is a bit like Cao Cao. He wants talents and guarantees production. He doesn't pay much attention to character issues. This is a mistake!"
"Director Li, what do you mean?"
"You should remember what those people look like, right? Are they from the same workshop as Yi Zhonghai?"
"Yes, I watched them enter the workshop!"
"That's good. Don't worry. Wait for my news this afternoon. I will take the lead in avenging you then!"
After chatting for a few more sentences, Hong Guan left Li Fugui's office and sneered as he went out. "It sounds nice to say, 'Avenge me', but it's obvious that he is just seizing the opportunity to deal with Director Yang and gain more power!"
