Siheyuan: Five mouths waiting for food at the beginning

An Tong went straight to the company the next day and resumed his work as an assistant.

Zhao Shanhe feels much more relaxed every time his students have holidays, and he has been reading recently.

The mobile phone has passed the test and is now entering mass production. Zhao Shanhe also saw the advertisement in the newspaper.

There is no need to look for shops, as they are located in shopping malls in major cities. There are now more and more plazas of the Zhao Group.

"Old Li, it's really hard to see you now." Zhao Shanhe came to find Li Huaide. One reason was to get a car for his son, and the other was that they hadn't seen each other for a long time, so they wanted to catch up.

"As soon as you called me, I rushed back. I turned down several dinner parties." Li Huaide handed Zhao Shanhe a cigarette and lit it.

"Old Li, you look so happy, and you seem to be living a good life."

"Brother, this is all thanks to you, but I'm old now and I can't do this for many more years."

"Time flies by so fast. Twenty years have passed in the blink of an eye. I still remember when I met you, you were still a young boy."

"In a blink of an eye, you have surpassed me. I, Li Huaide, am where I am today thanks to you."

Zhao Shanhe said, "Okay, what do you mean by thanks to me? You took care of me and helped me a lot in the past. Why is Brother Li still feeling emotional today?"

"It's not that people tend to be sentimental when they get older. I'm already in my early sixties, and I'm not allowed to be sentimental anymore."

"What? Brother Li, you look no different than when I first met you. You're still as radiant as ever."

"Hey, it's over, it's been praised too much, look at this bald head," Li Huaide even lowered his head to let Zhao Shanhe look at his Mediterranean hairstyle.

"Doesn't this just show that Brother Li is wise?"

"Okay, let's go to the bar. Let's have a few drinks tonight. I like drinking with you."

"Sure, no problem."

"Is this dish still made by Sha Zhu today? It tastes like what he made, but it's better than before."

"Well, it's Shazhu. How about I call him in and have a drink together? He is also an old acquaintance of the steel mill."

"That's fine, but call me later. Let's talk about business first, and then we can have a good drink after that."

"Lao Li, what's the matter? Tell me, I will definitely help you if I can."

This confused Li Huaide, "Brother, is it okay for you to look for me?"

"No, Lao Li, from what you said, I would only come to you if I have something to do, so I can't catch up with you."

"Is it really okay?"

"It's okay. I just wanted to catch up with you. Do you expect me to be okay?"

"Then start drinking. To be honest, every time we go out to eat, we talk about business. I'm tired of it after all these years. There's no one to talk to. It's all flattery. It's more refreshing to chat with you."

"You are the chief minister, who wouldn't flatter you? I heard that representatives from other countries all flatter you."

"Of course not. Speaking of this, it's all thanks to you, the father of the automobile. The cars we make now are unique."

"No wonder Shanhu said that you gave me the title of the father of the automobile. I didn't believe it at first. It turns out that you really said it."

"Others may not know this, but I do. The success of our automobile industry today is all due to you. You are worthy of being called the father of automobiles."

"I feel bad for what I have received. I am just a pioneer who has planted trees for future generations to enjoy the shade."

"You are still so humble, without any youthful arrogance."

"What young people? They are all old."

"Why are you old? You're only just over 40. Forty is the prime of life."

"You're going to be a grandfather soon, what's the point of being in your prime?"

"Then congratulations. I must drink the full moon wine."

"What full moon wine?"

"Didn't you say you were going to be a grandfather soon?"

"My son is getting married, and he will be a grandfather soon. But she is not pregnant yet. When she gives birth, I will definitely invite you, Brother Li."

"By the way, Brother Li, speaking of sons, get me a car. My second son has graduated from high school, and I promised to buy him a car, a mid-range one."

"Okay, it's no big deal. Bring me your nephew's information later. I'll have someone send it to you once the formalities are done."

"Okay, I'll go find Shazhu and make sure I get you drunk."

"Shanhe, I'm not exaggerating, but you can't drink much at all, so don't get drunk first."

Zhao Shanhe asked the waiter to call Sha Zhu over.

When Sha Zhu came in, Li Huaide's first words were "Sha Zhu, I haven't seen you for many years. Do you still recognize me?"

"Director Li, you are kidding, are you sure you recognize him?"

"It's good to know each other. Come, sit down and have a few drinks with me and Shanhe."

"Okay, Director Li, come here and I'll fill your glasses." Sha Zhu diligently picked up the wine and poured it for the three people.

"Silly Zhu, this is not like you. You didn't buy into my ideas at first, but now you've learned to pour wine on your own initiative."

"Director Li, from what you said, isn't the job of a cook to serve people?"

"You've made progress. Come on, Shazhu, let me play against you."

Zhao Shanhe was cheering nearby, "One is not enough. We should have at least three of these acquaintances."

"Haha, Shanhe, you really want to get me drunk. You and Shazhu are having a round-robin fight. There are only three of us."

The three of them drank and recalled the things that happened at the steel mill. The foolish Sha Zhu asked Li Huaide, "Director Li, what happened to Liu Lan later?"

Li Huaide was stunned for a moment, but still answered, "I don't know. He should still be in the steel mill. We haven't been in touch for many years. Shazhu, how are you and the widow in your yard?"

Zhao Shanhe was stunned when he heard this. The two of them were exposing each other's secrets.

"Director Li, you are talking about Qin Huairu, right? That's all old news. I got married back then, and my son is already in college."

"Oh, I didn't know that. I thought you married that little widow."

"Director Li, it seems that you are a forgetful person. You forgot that it was you who wrote the letter of introduction for me to marry my wife."

"Oh, yes, yes, I have some impression of it. I remember that you promised to cook a few good meals for me, right?"

"Later, I did it for you."

"Yes, yes, that's what happened."

"Speaking of Moutai, I was drinking with the CEO of Moutai Group yesterday. The price of Moutai has doubled this year, and I heard from their CEO that it will probably increase even more next year." Li Huaide suddenly said, looking at the Moutai on the table.

"I haven't noticed it and I've never bought any. But I can't finish the wine that others give me every year." Zhao Shanhe never noticed when Moutai increased its price, but in later generations, a bottle cost several thousand yuan.

In the following years, the price of liquor stocks rose dramatically.

"That's right. It was eight yuan at the beginning of the year, and now it's 17 yuan." Sha Zhu said

"Mr. Li, how much can he get next year? Twenty is the maximum."

Li Huaide lowered his head and made a 1 with his hand. "One hundred. He said it will be at least one hundred next year."
