Siheyuan Shangpeng

In the afternoon, someone knocked on Yang Weimin's office door. With Yang Weimin's consent, the person opened the door and walked into the office. Yang Weimin looked up and smiled, then stood up and said to the person, "What brings you here today, Old Lou? I thought it was someone else. The secretary didn't even say hello to me."

The man who came was the director of the steel mill, a former big capitalist, known as Lou Bancheng in Sijiu City. Lou Bancheng's real name was Lou Ergou. Like Li Jiacheng, the former richest man in China, Lou Ergou also started as an apprentice and built his own business empire step by step. Now few people know Lou Bancheng's original name. Lou Bancheng changed his name to Lou Zhenhua, which means to revitalize China. Lou Bancheng is also a shrewd person. He has survived a series of powers such as warlords, the Republic of China, and people who live a good life. He has also made friends with both sides. Not only did he invest in the powers at that time, he also secretly funded Rabbit. When Rabbit was established, Lou Bancheng was awarded the title of red capitalist.

Although their names are red, they are still capitalists in essence. So Lou Bancheng was the first to respond to the country's call and take the lead in cooperation. Yang Weimin met Lou Bancheng at that time. With Lou Bancheng's deliberate flattery, Yang Weimin and Lou Bancheng established a deep friendship. However, Lou Bancheng also felt that Rabbit's attitude towards them was becoming more and more subtle, so he became more and more low-key and gradually faded out of people's sight.

Yang Weimin took Lou Bancheng to sit on the sofa and asked, "Old Lou, are you here to guide the work at the steel mill? After all, you are also a director of the steel mill, you should come back often to visit."

Lou Bancheng knew Yang Weimin's character very well. He was testing whether he wanted to come back to fight for power. He smiled and said to Yang Weimin, "Director Yang, you are joking. I am living a good life now. I should take a good rest after being busy for so many years. The steel mill still depends on you, haha..."

Yang Weimin laughed as well, pointing at Lou Bancheng and saying, "You really are free from official duties. Unlike me, I still don't understand this steel mill."

Even though the expansion of the steel mill some time ago squeezed his people out of the core circle, he also knew Yang Weimin's situation. However, he did not respond. If he gave advice at this time, it would inevitably make the petty Yang Weimin think too much. He said directly: "Director Yang, as the director of the steel mill, it is reasonable for you to work harder. After all, you are working hard for the rabbit. But Director Yang, I am here today to return an unwelcome request. I wonder if Director Yang can lend a helping hand?"

Yang Weimin was stunned for a moment, squinted his eyes, and said, "Master Lou, tell me if I can help."

Lou Bancheng didn't care about the change in Yang Weimin's address, and said, "Director Yang, as you know, my daughter is already 19 years old this year. I want to find a good husband for her. Does Director Yang have any candidates?"

Yang Weimin looked at Lou Bancheng, then laughed and said, "Old man, you should have said it earlier. Tell me, which handsome guy do you like? As long as he is suitable, I will be your matchmaker."

Lou Bancheng continued to smile and said, "Director Yang, I heard that Shang Qi, the head of the security department of your steel mill, doesn't have a girlfriend yet. I wonder if you can introduce him to someone. I'll treat him to a meal tonight so that I can get to know this promising young man."

When Yang Weimin heard that it was Shang Qi, he couldn't help but frown and began to ponder.

Seeing Yang Weimin didn't say anything for a long time, Lou Bancheng said, "I met with the senior leaders of the Ministry of Industry before I came here."

He stopped talking after that. Yang Weimin thought for a while and said, "Okay, I'll talk to Section Chief Shang and see if he has time in the evening." After that, he walked to the desk, picked up the phone and called the Security Department.

In the security department, Shang Qi went to the Sijiu City Defense Army for a meeting in the morning. It was already afternoon when he came back. After listening to the deputy section chief's report, he went to find Yang Weimin to ask for an explanation. At this time, the phone in the office rang. Shang Qi had to turn around and answer the phone. Yang Weimin's voice came from the phone. After a while, Shang Qi put down the phone and sat back behind his desk with a frown. Yuan Hong, the deputy section chief of the security department, looked at Shang Qi and asked, "Section Chief, what did Yang Weimin say?"

Shang Qi glanced at Yuan Hong and replied, "He wants to treat me to dinner tonight. That's fine. Let's see what he says tonight. But no matter what he says, no unauthorized personnel are allowed to enter the special workshop tomorrow. This is an order from the military. No one can be allowed to enter without an order."

"Yes, I'll give the order right away. I say kill that bastard directly and say he trespassed into the military restricted area." Yuan Hong said murderously.

"Nonsense, you too. Put away your murderous aura. I've told you many times that we are now in the factory security department, not on the front line. Our main responsibility now is to protect the steel mill from attacks and to safeguard the safety of the factory workers. Who are you targeting with such murderous aura? You even want to shoot the workers. Are your good days over?" Shang Qi criticized immediately.

Yuan Hong hung his head, all the murderous aura on his body was gone, like a bullied young wife. Shang Qi shook his head and scolded with a smile: "Get out of here now, I get angry just by looking at you like that!"

"Oh, okay!" Hearing Shang Qi's scolding, Yuan Hong suddenly became energetic and ran out to notify them.

Shang Qi shook his head and frowned again after sitting down. He didn't know what tricks Yang Weimin was playing this time. Last time, he didn't say anything about promoting Yi Zhonghai's work grade because it was a factory matter and he had no control over it. But this time, Yang Weimin actually dared to reach out directly to the special workshop. If he didn't cut off his hand this time to let him know that there are some things he can't touch, he might cause trouble next time.

Shaking his head to stop thinking about it, Shang Qi began to process documents. Time passed little by little, and soon it was time to get off work. Shang Qi got off work very early today, but he did not go home. He promised Yang Weimin to have dinner with him today.

When the time came, before Shang Qi got up, Yang Weimin's secretary came to invite Shang Qi. Shang Qi and the secretary went to the factory's canteen. Shang Qi asked the secretary to go up first while he talked to He Daqing for a while before going to the canteen.

When I entered the canteen, I found that there were only three people at the table today. One was Director Yang Weimin, and the other two were a man and a woman whom I didn't know. After they sat down, Yang Weimin began to introduce them: "Chief Shang, let me introduce you. This is our steel mill director, Lou Zhenhua, Director Lou, and the other is Director Lou's beloved daughter, Lou Xiao'e.

Director Lou, this is Section Chief Shang. Section Chief Shang is young and promising. Haha..."

After listening to the introduction, Shang Qi frowned and looked at Yang Weimin without saying a word.
