Siheyuan: Starting to work in the street office
Chapter 31 Meeting Lou Xiaoe again
After Deputy Director Li got back on the truck, the other people also got on the truck and took the supplies back to the steel mill. Although they had to work overtime, everyone was able to get a piece of meat and they were all very happy. Bringing the meat home, my wife and children must be very happy to see it.
Deputy Director Li was sitting in the car when he suddenly felt something was wrong in his pocket. He reached in and was startled. He opened his pocket and saw a piece of paper. He saw four words: "Happy cooperation"
Deputy Director Li suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. It was too weird. He hadn't done it before he came out. He hadn't been close to anyone for a while. The people around him were all his own people. How did the note get in?
Hu Chengyu looked at Deputy Director Li and wondered if he was possessed by evil spirits. Bah, all those monsters are just paper tigers!
"Uncle, what's wrong?"
Deputy Director Li came to his senses and said, "It's okay, I'm just a little cold!"
Deputy Director Li knew that this was a warning to him, telling him not to have any inappropriate thoughts and to cooperate happily.
But on second thought, the more powerful the other party is, the safer it will be to cooperate with me. Just like what is written on the note, it would be great as long as we have a pleasant cooperation!
In fact, Zhong Shan wanted to fire a bullet, but he thought that the steel rolling mill had not only bullets but also artillery shells. As the deputy director, he had seen everything. Bullets were too simple and too sharp. The note was better, more gentle, and also served as a warning.
After returning home, Zhong Shan lay on the warm kang. He felt like he had forgotten something, so he fell asleep without remembering it. Anyway, it shouldn't be a big deal.
After getting up the next day, I practiced boxing in the house for a while, and suddenly remembered that I had forgotten something. I had wanted to practice the last two moves of the Five Animal Exercises last night, but I forgot about it. But it doesn’t matter. It doesn’t make much difference if I do it a day earlier or later.
Zhongshan, who had just finished a business deal last night, was so happy that he didn't go out for breakfast. He cooked a bowl of porridge and ate it with pickles, which was very delicious.
After work, he lit the stove, brewed tea, read a book, and started today's work. After a while, Song Lili handed Zhongshan a note with a line of beautiful small words written on it.
"My parents asked you to come to their house someday."
Zhong Shan was stunned when he saw the note. Is he going to meet the parents?
Then he wrote on the paper:
"when to go?"
Song Lili replied:
"Listen to you!"
Zhongshan thought about it and wrote
"Then it's the weekend."
"it is good."
It's the end of the year and the street office has more work to do, but that is for other departments. Zhongshan and his colleagues in the department still spend the whole day with a cup of tea and a book.
After get off work in the evening, on the way to send Song Lili home, Zhong Shan saw an acquaintance, Lou Xiaoe.
Lou Xiao'e also saw Zhong Shan and walked over.
Looking at Lou Xiao'e who was walking over, he thought to himself, "This is the daughter of a capitalist. After returning to the Lou family, Lou Xiao'e looked much younger, and was completely different from when she was in the courtyard!"
Lou Xiao'e walked up to Zhong Shan and said, "Zhong Shan, long time no see."
Zhong Shan looked at Lou Xiao'e, whose mental outlook was completely different from before, and said with a smile: "It wasn't long actually!"
Lou Xiao'e was stunned when she heard this and sighed, "Yeah, it hasn't been long, just over a month, and things have changed!"
Then, Lou Xiao'e asked: "You also know about Xu Damao's matter. I think you also know what happened. Do you think I am a vicious woman?"
Hearing him say this, Zhong Shan knew that Lou Xiao'e had found it difficult to accept the huge changes that had taken place in just over a month.
So he said to Lou Xiao'e: "If you talk about this matter of Xu Damao, I am not a good person either."
Lou Xiao'e was stunned for a moment, then she remembered that it was the letter written by Zhong Shan, and when she looked at Zhong Shan again, she actually felt a hint of recognition. Perhaps it was because Zhong Shan felt sorry for her and wrote to her family to explain Xu Damao's infertility, so that she was relieved; or perhaps it was because Xu Damao's death was more or less related to them all.
For some unknown reason, Lou Xiao'e actually said, "Maybe, I'm leaving." But she regretted it right after she said it. Why did she say that so suddenly?
After listening to this, Zhong Shan immediately thought that the Lou family should be preparing to leave. He originally thought that without Xu Damao's report, the Lou family would not leave so quickly, but he did not expect that they were still preparing to leave.
Zhong Shan thought for a moment and said to Lou Xiao'e, "If your family needs to exchange for gold bars, I have some ways to do it. Antiques, calligraphy and paintings, antique furniture, and other things that you can't take away can all be exchanged."
Lou Xiao'e was stunned and said to Zhong Shan: "Okay, I'll go back and ask."
After the two separated, Zhong Shan returned home. When he met Lou Xiaoe today, she reminded Zhong Shan that the best time to exchange gold bars had come.
The capitalists of the old city began to leave one after another. Antiques, calligraphy and furniture were not easy to take away. For the fleeing capitalists, they were far less valuable than gold bars.
However, Zhongshan has no way to contact capitalists. He can't just go door to door with gold bars to buy them, right?
I hope that I can get in touch with Lou Bancheng today, which can be considered as an opening!
In the evening, after Zhongshan finished his meal, someone knocked on the door. Zhongshan opened the door and found a young man he didn't recognize. The young man looked at Zhongshan, took out a note and said, "You are Mr. Zhong, right? This is for you." After giving it to Zhongshan, he left.
When Zhong Shan opened it, he saw only the word "Lou" written on the paper. Zhong Shan knew that the deal was halfway done.
Zhong Shan packed up and went out to the Lou family. After knocking on the door, the housekeeper who came to the courtyard to pick up Lou Xiao'e opened the door. After Zhong Shan handed the note to the housekeeper, the housekeeper said, "Mr. Zhong, follow me, the master is waiting for you!"
Zhong Shan didn't say much: "Okay, thank you for your help!"
After following the housekeeper into the small western-style building, I heard Lou Xiao'e's voice coming from the side: "Zhongshan, you're here."
Zhong Shan also replied, "Sister Lou." Then he nodded at her and followed the housekeeper to the study.
After the butler knocked on the door, a voice was heard from inside. After the door was opened, the butler did not come in. Zhongshan went in by himself and saw Lou Bancheng, who was famous throughout the city.
Lou Bancheng was not very tall, had gray hair, and was very thin. When he saw Zhong Shan coming in, he smiled and said, "You must be Zhong Shan, right? I heard Xiao'e mention you. You took good care of her."
Zhong Shan thought, what did I take care of? They didn't say a few words, but Lou Bancheng was worthy of being a big capitalist. In a word, first Lou Bancheng improved himself, took the initiative, and then narrowed the distance.
Zhong Shan didn't say anything either, just looked at Lou Bancheng with a smile.
Seeing Zhong Shan remained silent, Lou Bancheng frowned slightly, then continued with a smile and said, "Xiao Zhong, Xiao E told me where you can exchange for gold bars?"
Zhongshan said to Lou Bancheng: "That's right, we have both big goldfish and small goldfish, as long as you have what you need."
Hearing Zhong Shan's arrogant tone, Lou Bancheng couldn't help but observe him carefully, and then he adjusted his mentality and said, "Then, how did Mr. Zhong change it?"
Zhong Shan thought for a moment and said, "Antiques, calligraphy and paintings, antique furniture, and all kinds of precious woods, such as golden nanmu, huanghuali, and small-leaf red sandalwood, are all fine."
After a pause, Zhong Shan continued, "Of course, the price is definitely not the same as before. It's not that I'm taking advantage of you, but Mr. Lou is also aware of the current situation. These things are no different from rags in your hands, and may even bring disaster to you. But there's nothing we can do about it, because someone likes them!"
Lou Bancheng didn't say anything. He knew this was the truth. After a while, Lou Bancheng said, "Then, shall we just watch?"
Zhong Shan followed Lou Bancheng out of the small western-style building and went to a warehouse next to it. Most of the antique furniture in the warehouse were made of huanghuali wood, and a small number were made of golden nanmu wood. After all, it was Lou Bancheng, and all the collections were complete. After walking around the warehouse twice, Zhong Shan nodded to Lou Bancheng.
