Siheyuan: Yan Jiekuang's carefree life

Lou Xiao'e was not a pushover either. After thinking for two or three minutes, she said, "Guangzai, the things are ours. They can only take them if we give them to them. They can't control us. You can talk to Mr. He's people about the price. I'll take care of the rest."

"Got it!" Du Chongguang responded, and after Lou Xiao'e hung up the phone, he also hung up the phone. Then he looked at the person sitting on the sofa next to him, gave a thumbs up, and said, "He Dongming, your Mr. He is still amazing."

He Dongming smiled and asked, "Can we talk now?!"

"Of course!" Du Chongguang replied and started the negotiation. Because they had already discussed it before, now they just needed to perfect the details. After about an hour of communication, Du Chongguang and He Dongming signed the contract. He Dongming also very readily took out the check he had prepared long ago and handed it to Du Chongguang.

Du Chongguang handed the check to the finance department, then walked to the desk, picked up the internal phone, and dialed a number. Not long after, the call was connected. Du Chongguang said, "Uncle Ma, please arrange for a tugboat to tow the big guy in Dock No. 3 to our modification factory in Macau."

"Guangzai, I will arrange a tugboat right away. The boat can be towed into the dock in Macau tonight." After saying that, Uncle Ma hung up the phone, called a few people to clear the people on the boat, and then arranged two high-powered tugboats to tow the boat away.

In Hong Kong, Lou's Modification Factory, there is a row of three-story buildings in the factory area. This is where Lou Xiao'e settled those people from the mainland. A young man wearing glasses walked into an office on the westernmost side of the third floor angrily. The middle-aged man who was busy in the office saw the young man who suddenly came in and asked, "Xiao Xu, why are you here?!"

Xu Weidong said angrily: "Captain Gao, the Lou family sold the ship."

“What?!” The middle-aged man frowned immediately and said, “Didn’t we tell them that they are not allowed to sell it?!”

"Ding-ling-ling! Ding-ling-ling!" Just then the phone on the desk rang. The middle-aged man picked up the phone and said, "This is Gao Wuyong."

"It's me! Zhao Songshan!" The person on the other end of the phone introduced himself and asked, "Lao Gao, what's going on with you?! People have come to us to file a complaint. Your mission is to conduct research, not to interfere with their business. When you came, we told you that they only provided us with a place to do research. We didn't let you participate in their daily business management. Aren't you overreaching too much?!"

Gao Wuyong replied: "Old Zhao! You don't know. They have so many good things here."

Zhao Songshan said, "No matter how many good things there are, they have nothing to do with you." Then he asked, "Is there someone named Xu Weidong in your place?!"

Gao Wuyong glanced at Xu Weidong standing next to him and replied, "There is such a person."

Zhao Songshan said, "Tell him to pack his things. Someone will come to pick him up in a while."

Gao Wuyong frowned and asked, "Can you tell me where to pick him up?!"

Zhao Songshan replied: "Send him back."

"I understand!" Gao Wuyong responded, hung up the phone, looked at Xu Weidong, and said, "Xiao Xu, go back and pack your things. Someone will come to pick you up later. Maybe something happened at home."

"Oh!" Xu Weidong knew that some of the things he did here might have angered some people, but Xu Weidong felt that he did nothing wrong. He planned to report to the higher-ups after returning and take over all the management and operation rights here. However, Xu Weidong did not expect that after he returned, he would be dismissed from his post and faced a series of punishments. As for the reason, it was all because this kid could not control his mouth and was too ambitious.

Nothing happened that night. At 8 o'clock the next morning, Lou Xiao'e boarded a chartered flight from Gangcheng to Guangzhou. Half an hour later, the plane took off. After more than two hours of flight, Lou Xiao'e arrived in Guangzhou safely. After leaving the reception hall, Lou Xiao'e first went to a telephone booth not far away and called Yan Jiekuang, then went to the airport gate and took a bus directly to the train station.

"Yan Jiekuang, I won't go to your house now that I've met you here." Aunt Xie, who was on the phone, stopped Yan Jiekuang, handed the note paper in her hand to Yan Jiekuang, and said, "A person named Lou Xiao'e called you just now. She said she has arrived in Yangcheng. Now go to the train station to buy a train ticket to Sijiucheng. She asked you to pick her up at the Sijiucheng train station."

Yan Jiekuang took the note and looked at it, then took out five cents and handed it to Aunt Xie, saying, "Aunt, thank you!"

"You're welcome." Aunt Xie replied, took the money and left.

Su Zihui, who was standing nearby, glanced at Yan Jiekuang and said, "I heard from my father yesterday that the higher-ups held a meeting and decided to return the Lou family's house. But the problem with the steel mill is not easy to solve. I think Lou Xiao'e must have come here to handle the house formalities."

Yan Jiekuang said: "Lou Xiao'e's father has wanted to come back for a long time. But the situation in the mainland is unclear. People like them dare not come back. Now that the house is returned to them, it can be regarded as a signal of goodwill to them. I estimate that Lou Zhenhua will be back soon."

Su Zihui was stunned for a moment and asked, "The house has been returned to them. Do you think the steel mill will be returned to them?!"

Yan Jiekuang thought about it, shook his head and said, "It's impossible to return the steel mill to them. I guess even the dividends from those years could not be given to the Lou family. Now the steel mill looks glamorous on the surface, but it's actually rotten inside. Whoever takes over in the future will be unlucky." After saying that, Yan Jiekuang got up and left.

“Wait for me!” Su Zihui chased after him, and like a curious baby, she looked at Yan Jiekuang and asked, “Why do you say that?!”

Yan Jiekuang stopped and stared at Su Zihui for a while, then said, "Wife, don't meddle in other people's business. This is not something we can control."

"Humph!" Su Zihui snorted and muttered, "If you don't want to tell me, then don't tell me."

When Yan Jiekuang saw Su Zihui acting like a spoiled brat, he couldn't help but smile and said, "You! Stop using this method of provoking me. It doesn't work on me." Then Yan Jiekuang thought of the wave of layoffs that would follow and couldn't help but sigh.

When Yan Jiekuang and Su Zihui walked to the Nanluoguxiang bus stop, Yan Jiecheng and Qin Jingru were just walking towards them. Yan Jiekuang took the initiative to greet them: "Big brother!"

"Jie Kuang!" Yan Jiecheng replied, looked at Su Zihui, and asked, "Where are you two going?!"

Yan Jiekuang replied, "To see a ballet performance." Then he asked, "Where are you going?!"

Yan Jiecheng said, "Accompany my wife, your new sister-in-law, to the hospital for a prenatal checkup." Then Yan Jiecheng pulled Qin Jingru to his side and said, "Qin Jingru, your new sister-in-law."

Yan Jiekuang asked: "Are you Qin Huairu's sister?!"

When Yan Jiecheng heard Yan Jiekuang mention "Qin Huairu", his expression suddenly turned unnatural. Qin Jingru said: "Qin Huairu and I have nothing to do with each other. We are just from the same village."

Yan Jiecheng hurriedly agreed, "Yes! Yes! Yes! They are from the same village." Just then a bus came by, and Yan Jiecheng said, "Our bus is here. I won't chat with you anymore. We'll leave first!" After that, Yan Jiecheng pulled Qin Jingru and squeezed onto the bus.
