Siheyuan, Me and the Yu Sisters

Lou Huaijin's plan to withdraw from the mainland as a transit station was born last year. He saw clearly the consequences of the suppression of the Huo family since last year. However, he used his connections in the early years to not only establish a relationship with the Governor's Office, but also establish unclear connections with the other side.

Therefore, it has not received any attention from the Hong Kong government for the time being.

After all, the Lou family's assets are concentrated in Hong Kong Island, which can be regarded as a small achievement. Lou Huaijin really doesn't dare to take this risk with his whole family.

This is also the reason why he has been thinking over and over again these days and plans to split the family.

The Lou family stripped the assets related to Zhang Renkang and gave them to Lou Xiaoe. The two sides officially began to separate. The Lou family only wanted to run the factory in Hong Kong Island steadily and reproduce. They could not afford slogans such as nationalism.

From Lou Huaijin's perspective and cognition, their Lou family had never let down the mainland. The steel mills that he donated for free and most of the real estate in his hands were enough to create thousands of small and medium-sized wealthy people. But even so, wasn't he still forced to flee the old city?

He has done enough for the mainland in the past few years. If he continues, Lou Huaijin is worried that it will attract the attention and suppression of the Governor of Hong Kong, and then ruin the Lou family's current business in Hong Kong Island.

From his perspective, Lou Huaijin did not think that given the current situation in the mainland, there would be much chance, let alone taking back Hong Kong Island within 20 to 30 years.

The Lou family cannot tie their entire family to the chariot of the mainland for an existence that has no results.

The real estate business that Zhang Renkang had suggested was divested to Lou Xiao'e, and the land and several buildings held by the Lou family, as well as the property and warehouse of the transfer station were given to Lou Xiao'e. This way, no matter what problems might arise in the future,

It has nothing to do with the Lou family anymore.

Even if the mainland finally gained power, the Lou family had the previous incense relationship, and no matter what, Lou Xiao'e was still the daughter of the Lou family, so the higher-ups would not do anything to the Lou family.

Of course, Lou Huaijin is not optimistic about this possibility. People are always confined to their own world. If everyone can see through the situation, wouldn't they all become heroes?

Zhang Renkang agreed to Lou Huaijin's plan, and after dinner he took Lou Xiaoe upstairs.

Lou Xiao'e said worriedly

"Renkang, what does our father mean?"

"Did he"

Zhang Renkang explained with a smile

"My father may just want to live a peaceful life in Hong Kong Island and run the Lou family's factory."

"I'm afraid he is not optimistic about the future situation."

"Everyone has their own aspirations, and there is no need to force yourself too much"

Lou Xiao'e nodded and leaned on Zhang Renkang's shoulder and said softly

"I did hear from the eldest brother that he wanted to develop in the shipping industry, and he repeatedly advised our father to keep his distance from the mainland, saying that the free world would not allow authoritarianism and tyranny."

“My father may have been convinced.”

"It's just that my opinion is insignificant and he won't consider it"

Zhang Renkang snorted and said disdainfully

“The relationship between countries is not that simple.”

"Does he think that Europe and North America are a single entity?"

"Whether it's the Lou family or the Huo family, there are so many smuggling gangs in Hong Kong Island that are smuggling with the mainland. Are John blind?"

"Xiao'e, we can't do without the support of the mainland, otherwise we wouldn't have to stop at the Shenzhen River. The upper echelons are very clear that Hong Kong Island has unique value, but on the other hand, once this value no longer exists, there is no need for this place to exist."

“John also knows this truth very well”

“More importantly, they need us.”

"Although the Huo family has been suppressed so harshly, within 20 years, the Huo family will be the most powerful family here."

"Even with our current national strength, we are an important force in this world that cannot be ignored. Otherwise, why wouldn't the United States dare to cross the 17th line?"

Lou Xiao'e nodded and said softly

"Um"

"I don't care about suppression or not. As long as I can help you, I'm not afraid of anything."

Zhang Renkang laughed, hugged Lou Xiaoe and said with a smile

"Since the Lou family won't do it, then our Zhang family will do it ourselves."

"I will discuss with the comrades in the office and send a few people from China to assist you in handling the work at the transfer station."

"Of course, the transfer station is subject to domestic arrangements."

"Your real estate company will be operated under the name of Kangcheng Group. I think our Miss Lou will become a strong woman sooner or later."

Zhang Renkang used force on his hands, causing Lou Xiaoe to blush. She turned over and pressed on Zhang Renkang's waist, smiled, and said softly

“You still owe me a child.”

"What does Lou Huaijin mean by this?"

Zhang Tingan looked at Zhang Renkang angrily and said

"In my opinion, these people have no sense of country or nation, and we were not ruthless enough to punish them at the beginning."

"He is making fun of the assets of the entire nation."

After Zhang Renkang came back, Zhang Ting'an learned that Lou Huaijin had arranged for Lou Xiao'e to be in charge of the transfer station. He immediately sensed something was wrong. When asked, Zhang Renkang could only guess that Lou Huaijin wanted to quit.

Zhang Tingan paced back and forth in the room, angrily saying

"This Lou Huaijin, does he think he is important?"

"Have it both ways?"

“I still think he is so important.”

"We can survive without anyone, since Lou Huaijin wants to quit"

"Okay, then let him withdraw, and the Lou family should not get involved anymore."

Seeing Zhang Renkang leisurely roasting a cigar, Zhang Tingan sat down on the sofa anxiously and said

"I said Renkang, don't you care at all?"

Zhang Renkang calmly handed Zhang Ting'an a cigar and said with a smile

"Try it, Lou Huaijin gave it to me, he said it's Cuban."

"Let's try out the corruption of capitalism."

Zhang Tingan was a little angry when he saw Zhang Renkang's relaxed look, and he didn't take the cigar handed to him by Zhang Renkang, and sat on the sofa in a huff.

Zhang Renkang laughed and said

"I say, Lao Zhang, why can't you keep your cool?"

"I didn't think you were so angry last time."

“Actually, if you think about it the other way around, this is a good thing.”

Zhang Tingan was somewhat puzzled and said in surprise

"Is everything alright?"

Zhang Renkang nodded, sat up straight and said

"Lou Huaijin is said to have five wives, and his eldest son Lou Xingbang is said to be born to his first wife."

"The second son, Lou Xingguo, was born to the third wife and is now with John."

"Lou Xiao'e was born to the fourth wife, Lou Tan, the only one who is with Lou Huaijin now."

"The second and fifth wives died young and had no offspring"

“I’m right, right?”

Zhang Ting'an nodded. He had memorized Lou Huaijin's information by heart. He also knew this.

"What does this mean?"

Zhang Renkang explained with a smile

"The eldest son of the Lou family is back, but the one accompanying Lou Huaijin at home is the fourth wife. Do you think he cares about the Lou family's property?"

Zhang Tingan asked thoughtfully

"In other words, this is caused by the internal struggle for family property within the Lou family?"

"Lou Xingbang is now in an advantageous position and is influencing Lou Huaijin's thinking?"

Zhang Renkang shook his head and said

“It’s hard to say who has the advantage or disadvantage”

"A tyrant like Lou Huaijin can't be easily influenced by anyone."

“I think he wants to hedge his bets.”

"After all, the Huo family's "Starlight Bank Incident" last year had a huge impact on the whole of Hong Kong. Lou Huaijin is afraid that the Lou family's assets in Hong Kong will be suppressed."

“This is a normal reaction and there is nothing wrong with it.”

"We can't ask the Lou family to stay with us through thick and thin, right?"

Zhang Tingan calmed down, nodded and said

“Yeah, that’s it too.”

"What do you mean by good things?"

Zhang Renkang stood up, looked out the window at the night and said softly

“Send people from the mainland to take over all the work at the transit station”

"All the profits originally reserved for the Lou family were taken back, and all of them were used as surplus for other purposes besides maintaining the operation of the transfer company."

"To put it bluntly, all we need is the Lou family's skin, but whether the Lou family participates or not is actually insignificant."

"The situation now is completely different from what it was three years ago, even without the Lou family acting as a middleman."

"The Gauls and Hans will not give up the opportunity to cooperate with us"

Zhang Tingan nodded and said with some concern:

"What about the Governor?"

Zhang Renkang said with a smile

"Lao Zhang, I have a hunch"

“Times are changing”

"It will even affect our country, and will affect you, me, and the people of the whole country."

"We are old acquaintances, let me remind you something"

"Be careful what you say when you return, and don't go astray"

Seeing Zhang Renkang's serious words, Zhang Ting'an also became serious and said in a low voice:

"Did you know something?"
