Siheyuan: Learning to be the sixth

Although everyone was still very "official" at the luncheon, after an afternoon of rest and adjustment, the atmosphere of the dinner was much warmer and more relaxed than at luncheon.

"Brother Qing, big brother, please try this West Lake vinegar fish. This is a specialty of Hangzhou."

The two knew that He Yuzhu was a gourmet, so what he recommended must be good stuff.

In fact, they misunderstood He Yuzhu. He Yuzhu simply wanted them to taste the authentic West Lake vinegar fish. In a few decades, you will hear that if this fish is made into West Lake vinegar fish, then the fish has died in vain.

A group of bigwigs on the stage took turns giving speeches, leaving He Yuzhu and his table alone to enjoy the meal.

Halfway through the dinner, everyone started to go from table to table to toast. He Yuzhu had eaten much less, so he went to "renew his old relationship" with a group of wealthy people accompanied by Huo Changqing and Lou Xiaoming.

They also gave face to their old acquaintance He Yuzhu.

"Comrade He, it's been a while since we last met. You must show us your skills when you have time. We have been looking forward to it for a long time~"

In response, He Yuzhu nodded quickly and agreed.

The lively dinner is over, and the highlight is tomorrow, so everyone needs to stay in good spirits.

The next day.

Breakfast was served buffet style, which was considered a "bold attempt" in the mainland. This small move made these wealthy people from Hong Kong feel "full sincerity" and filled them with confidence for this trip.

The huge convoy arrived at a street primary school in Hangzhou. The reason they came here was that the predecessor of this primary school was a private school owned by a wealthy family. After several changes, it became the primary school it is today.

Looking at the introduction in front of the school, the wealthy man surnamed Wu also had tears in his eyes. He Yuzhu praised the local people's move. It was a win-win business with the lowest cost.

After reading the introduction of the school in front of the gate, the group entered the campus.

The sound of students reading aloud formed a sharp contrast with the dilapidated school building that came into view. He Yuzhu admired their approach of "whitewashing the situation".

Or maybe sincerity is the most touching thing. The gentry touched the mottled walls that had gone through the years. With a strong sense of homesickness, the gentry surnamed Wu said emotionally:

"Secretary Gu, I am ashamed. I didn't expect my children to suffer so much. My father was reluctant to spend money on food and clothing to support my education. Now that I have the ability, I also want to contribute a little to the education of my hometown. This is six million. Secretary Gu, please don't think it's too little."

All the preparations are just for this moment today, Secretary Gu smiled sincerely.

"Comrade Wu, your good deeds will surely benefit the people of your hometown. On behalf of... (In order to avoid being censored, please use your imagination.) Thank you for everything you have done for the people of your hometown. Don't worry, this primary school will be named after Comrade Wu in the future."

"High, really high."

He Yuzhu felt that his cheap senior brother was no ordinary person. He sold the naming rights for six million. Money was not a problem for the wealthy people behind him. What they wanted now was fame. With Comrade Wu taking the lead, the others would have to raise their prices, otherwise it would not be commensurate with their worth.

We walked around the campus again, and it happened to be lunchtime. The children had a simple lunch, which was similar to the northerners' eating cornmeal dumplings with pickles and cold water. (Please forgive me as a northern editor, I really don't know what the southern children ate for lunch at that time.)

Although the food looked so simple, the children still ate it with gusto. Some of them even read books while eating.

Even the wealthy people who were not from Zhejiang were in tears. They took out their checkbooks and started filling in numbers, signing and stamping. Although there were not many people, there were too many people.

Secretary Gu was so happy that he waved his hand and invited these wealthy people to the cafeteria for dinner.

The older generation of gentry ate the food with relish, preserving the flavors from their memories. The hardest part was for the second and third generation people like Huo Changqing. They felt as if they had gone through some unimaginable hardship before they even took a bite, but they had to eat it anyway.

He Yuzhu was so happy while eating and watching that he wanted to start a "Transformation Plan" with the theme of "Do you want a qualified successor? Only one million will guarantee you a perfect transformation."

Huo Changqing, who was sitting opposite He Yuzhu, saw He Yuzhu smiling maliciously.

I felt a chill in my heart and asked cautiously: "Zhu Zi, are you thinking of any bad ideas? Why do I feel that your smile is so creepy~"

He Yuzhu told Huo Changqing his thoughts, and he was so scared that he shook his head, but then nodded.

"Zhu Zi, you have a good idea. If conditions permit, I would also like to sign up for those useless people of mine."

Seeing Mr. Huo approaching, He Yuzhu hurriedly winked at Huo Changqing who was "seeking death", his eyes almost blinking like cannons, but Mr. Huo was still immersed in his own fantasy.

"Zhu Zi, you should bring up this idea now, otherwise I will be the one who suffers. I am not afraid now. My grandfather has handed over most of the affairs to me. It is not my turn now. In order to prevent my children from repeating my path, I can live a few more years..."

"It's okay. Changqing, I can stick with it for another ten or eight years just for your sake."

"Eh~ Zhuzi, am I hallucinating?"

He Yuzhu kept shaking his head and said, "Cousin, you talk too much and you are covering yourself up."

"Master, you finished eating so soon?"

"Zhu Zi, this rice is quite to my taste. I even drank an extra bowl of porridge today~"

Huo Changqing smiled awkwardly, turned around and said, "Dad, why are you walking without making any sound?"

"Nonsense, otherwise how can I hear you speak so self-awarely~ When the time comes, you can sign up with my grandsons and become the captain~"

Huo Changqing was almost crying. He didn't think the old man was joking. Although it was not as hard as He Yuzhu said, it was not much better either.

"Dad, you are so old, why are you still scaring people~"

Mr. Huo did not continue the topic, but reminisced about the past with He Yuzhu.

Anyway, everyone is free to do what they want at this time. Mr. Huo has been in good health recently and doesn't like to move much. It's nice to chat with He Yuzhu, his "friend regardless of age" who is very easy to talk to.

"Zhu Zi, Chang Qing mentioned this to me the other day. Does the capital really welcome all of us?"

He Yuzhu looked at Mr. Huo with gratitude. The old man was creating opportunities for him.
