The days of being a buyer in Siheyuan

After the two left, Liu Minghui was still thinking. Yu Li closed the door and walked over.

"Why, you're still thinking about it, is there any problem?"

Yu Li held his hand with a worried look on her face.

"How is that possible? I'm just wondering what the reason is. Don't worry about it."

After comforting his wife, Liu Minghui also let go of his inner thoughts. In his opinion, whether it is a blessing or a curse, it is something that needs to be faced and there is no need to worry too much.

The next afternoon, Liu Minghui met him in the office of Lou's father in the steel mill. Lou's father's original name was Lou Zhenhua. Lou Zhenhua was a middle-aged man in his forties. Over the past decade, he was full of vigor and vitality and founded a huge steel mill with two to three thousand workers at that time. Later, after handing over the entire steel mill, Lou Zhenhua was unemployed at home and only retained some shares. He was still very well off relying on dividends every year and did not feel lonely at all for leaving the management of the steel mill.

"Haha, you should talk about Liu Minghui that Xiao'e mentioned. Comrade Liu, please take a seat."

Seeing Liu Minghui coming in, Lou Zhenhua warmly invited him to sit down. Liu Minghui did not look restrained at all. He walked to the sofa and sat on the right side of Lou Zhenhua.

"Hello, Mr. Lou."

After Liu Minghui sat down, Lou Zhenhua continued.

"Comrade Liu, uh, you have a good relationship with Damao, so I'll call you Chen Hui. You don't have to call me Mr. Lou, just call me uncle."

For some reason, Lou Zhenhua was very enthusiastic towards Liu Minghui, but Liu Minghui was a little confused about this.

Seeing the expression on Liu Minghui's face, Lou Zhenhua realized that he was too enthusiastic and might scare people.

He quickly explained, "Don't worry, I came here just to trouble you with something personally, no one else will know."

Since Lou Zhenhua had said so, Liu Minghui didn't say anything else. Now that he was here, he had to listen to whatever it was first.

"Then I won't be polite, Uncle Lou, what exactly do you want me to do this time?"

Liu Minghui went straight to the point and asked what the urgent matter was.

"It's not a big deal. I have a good relationship with your deputy director. I once heard that you can provide a kind of medicinal wine, which is quite effective, especially in that aspect."

Lou Zhenhua said this with a smile that all men understand, but Liu Minghui was complaining about Li Huaide in his heart. It must have been Li Huaide who said that. He had never heard that the relationship between the two was very good. Liu Minghui was a little confused about this.

"Why, uncle, you need it too."

If Lou Zhenhua also wanted some, Liu Minghui wouldn't mind giving him a few bottles. They were worthless to Liu Minghui anyway.

Lou Zhenhua waved his hand at this. He didn't think much of it at all, mainly because he had tasted it at Li Huaide's place. Based on his intuition as a businessman, he believed that this thing had a very high market value. If it could be sold to Hong Kong Island, the profit would be staggering.

“I wonder if it can be made into pills?”

Yes, the premise of everything is to make it into pills. After all, they are small in size and convenient to transport, which is much better than bottles and jars.

Liu Minghui knew what he was planning as soon as he heard it, but he didn't answer immediately. This required him to think carefully.

"I don't know about this either. I'll go back and ask."

Liu Minghui did not object, and Lou Zhenhua thought it was a done deal. No one would refuse money, so he smiled and said, "Okay. Remember to tell me if you have any news. You can tell me through Xiao'e."

The Lou family is a big family, of course it is not just the couple and Lou Xiao'e. Lou Xiao'e's eldest brother was sent to Hong Kong City by him in the early years, hoping to open up the situation there, but unfortunately there is not much improvement now. He opened a small clothing factory there, but the profitability is not strong.

Lou Zhenhua is not like other people. In addition to Lou's father, there are several other people who hold shares in the steel rolling mill. They are now living a good life every day, living a life of luxury and debauchery. Lou's father has always been anxious and desperately hopes to have a way out, which is why he let his son go to Gangcheng.

Otherwise, why was Lou Zhenhua able to evacuate his entire family within a few days in the original novel? It was because he had been maintaining this line.

After leaving Lou Zhenhua's office, Liu Minghui returned to the purchasing department alone.

After saying hello to Li Yue, Liu Minghui returned to the office alone.

After returning, Liu Minghui thought carefully about the idea proposed by Lou Zhenhua. Of course, the main thing was that Liu Minghui also wanted to cooperate with Lou Zhenhua and maintain this relationship, in case it might be useful in the future.

"But don't agree too quickly."

After muttering a few words, Liu Minghui put the matter aside. After all, it was only the 1960s, so there was no rush. He could talk about it later.

In the afternoon, Liu Minghui returned home from get off work. Lou Xiao'e was at his doorstep. The two of them sat on a bench and whispered to each other, while little Bowen was left aside to play by himself.

"I say, Lou Xiao'e, are you too idle? My wife just got off work and you came here."

Liu Minghui said in a teasing tone.

In response, Lou Xiao'e nodded very seriously.

She was simply too bored. There was no one to chat with in the courtyard during the day, so she could only wait for Li to come back or go directly back to her parents' home.

"Hey, you guys chat."

Liu Minghui was defeated by Lou Xiao'e's seriousness and went into the house on his own.

"Don't mind it, he just said it casually."

Yu Li explained to Lou Xiao'e embarrassedly.

"It's okay, I won't take it to heart."

Lou Xiao'e didn't react to this and continued chatting with Yu Li. The two of them mainly talked about some private matters between women, and Liu Minghui had no intention of listening.

"Hello, sister-in-law."

At this time, Cui Dake walked into the yard with high spirits and greeted the two of them.

"Dake just got off work."

Lou Xiao'e and Cui Dake didn't know each other, so they just nodded in acknowledgement. It was mainly Yu Li who took over the conversation and replied.

Cui Dake is in a good mood today, mainly because the matchmaker has made arrangements for him and someone will come tomorrow.

"That's right, this is a blind date, and we can buy some things at the same time."

Cui Dake said, pointing to what he was holding in his hand.

There was no way, Cui Dake had never experienced the real beating, and these words happened to be heard by Qin Huairu.

When Cui Dake entered the central courtyard, Qin Huairu was still washing clothes by the sink and chatted with Cui Dake for a while. After he left, Qin Huairu immediately packed up and went home. She wanted to discuss something with Jia Zhang.

"I dare say his blind date will fail."

After Cui Dake left, Yu Li spoke to Lou Xiaoe in a very mysterious way, but Lou Xiaoe didn't believe it.

As if she could see what she was thinking, Yu Li immediately said, "If you don't believe me, you'll know tomorrow."

Seeing Yu Li's confident look, Lou Xiao'e decided not to go back to the Lou family tomorrow. She planned to stay in the yard and see what the situation was.
