Siheyuan: Cooking journey

Lou Xiao'e wrinkled her nose and pushed him: "Silly boy, get up quickly, you haven't seen our daughter yet."

daughter!

He Yuzhu woke up instantly, his heartbeat quickened, and he couldn't help but hug her tightly.

"Is it a daughter?"

I was so focused on my wife and kids that I completely forgot about everything.

My daughter is a sweet and caring little girl, very nice.

He Yuzhu's heart was suddenly filled with anticipation.

"Hey, hey."

Lou Xiao'e puffed her cheeks, nodded with a bit of pride, and couldn't help laughing.

"She looks exactly like me when I was a kid. She's so cute."

How could my own daughter not be adorable?

None of this matters.

He Yuzhu was eager to see him, but then he frowned slightly.

"She lives with your mother?"

"what happened?"

Lou Xiao'e pursed her nose, hugged him, and said apologetically:

"Didn't we agree that we wouldn't be angry anymore? I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have just left without saying a word."

He was his wife, so he had no choice but to accept it even though he was angry.

Some anger is not so easy to forget.

He treated her wholeheartedly and arranged everything for her, but she just left without saying a word. She left without anyone trying to stop her, and yet she took her own wife with her. They were separated and could not see each other for seven years. What resentment and hatred!

If I hadn't found it myself, I'd probably have to wait more than ten years to see it again.

I have never been a saint, and there are some things that I will never forget easily:

He knew the dilemma Lou Xiao'e was in.

He Yuzhu didn't intend to do anything extreme, but he didn't want to see her, he didn't want to see her, and he meant it sincerely.

"I will go back with you. You take the child out. I don't want to see your family."

He Yuzhu looked calm and spoke in a cold tone.

Lou Xiao'e looked at him and hugged him sadly, wanting to comfort him but didn't know where to start.

We can only rely on time to slowly dissolve all barriers.

Standing downstairs.

Seeing Lou Xiao'e leading a delicate and lovely girl towards him,

He Yuzhu's first reaction was that Lou Xiao'e was narcissistic. He couldn't tell how she was like her, but then, an inexplicable sense of blood connection surged in his heart.

Rich and warm, it keeps echoing in my heart and eyes.

This little elf in front of me, without saying anything, makes people want to give her all the beauty in the world.

"Sisi, he is He Yuzhu, he is your dad, call him daddy."

Lou Xiao'e bent down and gently stroked little Sisi's little head.

He Yuzhu smiled warmly, squatted down to look her in the eye, his eyes full of her shadow, filled with anticipation and indescribable happiness.

This is my little princess, my sweetheart at home.

Watching her from so close.

He Yuzhu felt like his heart was melting.

Xiao Sisi glared at him coldly, her little face turned stern, and she looked away, appearing particularly aloof.

Lou Xiao'e wrinkled her nose and said dissatisfiedly:

"Sisi, why are you so disobedient? Call me daddy."

"It's okay, it's okay, the child is shy..."

He Yuzhu didn't mind at all and his eyes were full of smiles.

Little Sisi had a cold expression, which made her look both aloof and cute. The more he looked at her, the more he liked her. He picked her up and gave her a contented kiss.

Little Sisi struggled, waving her hands.

He Yuzhu didn't take it to heart. He felt strange and fond of her. He hugged her tighter and kissed her again and again, as if nothing was enough.

Xiao Sisi rolled her eyes, looking helpless.

"Sisi, call daddy quickly."

When the family of three was reunited, Lou Xiao'e felt gentle and sweet in her heart. She went forward to hug the two of them, and couldn't help but kiss her daughter on the face.

Xiao Sisi rolled her eyes again, as if she had gotten used to such "enthusiasm".

Took my daughter back.

Living in the office is not suitable after all.

He Yuzhu booked a suite at the Grand Hotel.

"My mother said she wanted to immigrate."

Hearing Lou Xiao'e say this,

He Yuzhu hugged Sisi and frowned slightly.

The Lou family wanted to immigrate, and he had no right to interfere and didn’t want to interfere. They could go wherever they wanted.

As a son-in-law, he has always treated her sincerely and tried his best to help her, and he has done his best.

As for raising children over the years, it is not a favor but a regret.

If Lou Xiao'e had not been taken away, the child would have been raised healthy and happy.

After wandering outside for many years, I have endured countless hardships and shocks.

The family is incomplete and lacks a sense of security. The child cannot feel the warmth of the family at all, which is why he is so indifferent at the age of six. He does not have the liveliness, activity and innocence of other children.

If you don’t even know how to act coquettishly, your biggest weapon – crying – will be useless.

All of this was created by the Lou family.

Looking at her daughter's cold little face,

He Yuzhu felt so distressed that he wanted to tease her. He couldn't help but kiss her again. He ignored her rolling eyes and insisted, "If they want to move, then move. You and Sisi don't go with them. Just stay in Xiangdao. Don't worry, I will arrange everything for you before I leave. Leave it all to me."

"Uh-huh."

Lou Xiao'e hugged him gently, her nose wrinkled, a little jealous:

"You've kissed your daughter so many times, why don't you kiss me? Do you love me less now that you have a daughter?"

He Yuzhu smiled, without favoritism, and quickly gave her another kiss.

Xiao Sisi turned her head away, unable to bear to look at it, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, he was kissed again, and then again.

Xiao Sisi rubbed her eyebrows helplessly.

in the afternoon.

Lou Xiao'e took Sisi home to pack up.

He Yuzhu contacted Guo Yingzhong through the working group and arranged a meeting at the hotel.

After the two met,

He Yuzhu got straight to the point and opened the door of the room.

In the room, a pile of US dollars was neatly stacked on the floor.

Seeing this, Guo Yingzhong straightened his face and asked solemnly:

"Commissioner He, what does this mean?"

"Mr. Guo, I need your help with something."

He Yuzhu said frankly: "This is my personal matter. My wife and daughter will live in Hong Kong for a while, and I will be in the mainland most of the time. It is inconvenient to travel back and forth. I hope you can take care of my safety."

He specifically learned from the working group that

Guo Yingzhong was born into a common family. He started from scratch and became one of the richest people in Hong Kong.

His wisdom and skill are evident from this, and what is even more admirable is his extraordinary courage.

He knew that he was on the blacklist, but still dared to go out without a bodyguard. This was not recklessness, but based on careful preparation and real confidence.

Not to mention other places, in Hong Kong, you can rest assured when you leave your safety issues to him.

Hong Kong Island is so chaotic. I would feel uneasy if I don’t find a talisman for Lou Xiao’e and Sisi. It’s worth spending any amount of money.

"this..."

Guo Yingzhong frowned in thought, his eyes always fixed on the banknotes in the room.

Ten million dollars.

He subconsciously recalled what happened in Ao Island a few days ago.

But it was quickly rejected because the working group arrived that evening and there was no time limit. Even the ferry had stopped operating and we couldn't swim across.

Besides, it is a problem how to transport the nearly 100 million yuan in cash piled up into a small mountain.

The reason why those clubs are willing to pay is because they are confident that they cannot take the money away.

As a result, the money disappeared, and the people also disappeared. It was obvious that they did not act alone, but were assisted by local people on the island of Australia. It was an organized and premeditated act. Therefore, all parties on the island of Australia were suspicious of each other and the atmosphere was tense.

He had seen the photo. The person in the photo was a man in his fifties. He was suspected to be a member of Qianmen and they had worked together to do this.

He did not pay much attention to this. After all, the travel company he invested in Australia was not affected much, so it was not worth his trouble to study. He just asked about it out of curiosity.

Although the impact of the Ao Island incident has been ruled out,

But a mainland commissioner took out tens of millions of dollars in his personal name.

Guo Ying still felt heavy-hearted, as the amount was close to 50 million Hong Kong dollars, or 15 million RMB.

With frequent contacts with the mainland, he knows well that the average monthly salary of urban workers is only 30 to 40 yuan.

Not everyone can come up with 15 million, and there are strict foreign exchange controls, making it even more difficult to convert it into US dollars unless the money comes from abroad.

But no matter what, such a large sum of money, linked to a commissioner, is not a trivial matter, and it seems too simple just to protect two people.

He was afraid of getting into some trouble.

Moreover, Commissioner He obviously came to Hong Kong for a specific purpose, and it is not known whether it is related to this incident, so it must be handled with caution.

"Mr. Guo..."

After all, he is one of the richest people in Hong Kong, so it is normal that he is not tempted by so much money.

Seeing his silence, He Yuzhu had anticipated it and activated the backup plan. He took out a piece of paper and said calmly: "This is a drink formula, similar to Coca-Cola, but tastes better. Mr. Guo, are you interested in creating our own cola, 'Very Cola'?"

this...

Guo Yingzhong couldn't help but be moved. If this formula was truly effective, it would be an inexhaustible gold mine.

The Guo family may be able to find a breakthrough in the pressure they have been under for a long time through other means.

"Mr. He, if you have any specific ideas, why not share them with me?"

Guo Yingzhong looked at him solemnly and seriously, without addressing him as Commissioner He.

The authenticity of the formula can be easily determined by testing it.

Guo Yingzhong didn't care where the formula came from, he just needed it.

The slogan is ready: "Our own Coke".

Just thinking about it makes people feel refreshed and their hearts are filled with national pride.

"To create a product from scratch, to control costs, and then to promote and market it, so that the brand is deeply rooted in people's hearts, the money spent is not a small amount." He Yuzhu was straightforward and to the point.

"I'm not greedy for more. Just give my wife and daughter 20% of the shares. The condition is, as I said before, take good care of their safety. What I can guarantee is that as long as you keep this secret, it will be impossible to crack it."

"Mr. He is so sincere, I have nothing to complain about."

Guo Yingzhong laughed.

"Also, this 100 million will be regarded as Mr. He's capital investment. With the formula, I can give you a maximum of 49% of the shares. If you need to raise funds in the future, this proportion may be diluted accordingly."

He Yuzhu looked at him in surprise, but did not object and instead brought up another matter.

"Mr. Guo, in the next few years, please be responsible for hosting a cooking competition once a year, inviting mainland chefs to compete with chefs from Hong Kong. This will be positive publicity for the mainland and will also allow the outside world to better understand the mainland..."

He Yuzhu didn't plan to participate in the cooking competition, but he was happy to lead the team here, it was very simple.

It’s easy to go back and forth to Hong Kong for the annual competition.

"Row!"

Guo Yingzhong nodded in agreement and understood the real intention of Commissioner He's visit to Hong Kong Island - to break the deadlock. The cooking competition was indeed a good way to promote it.

As for the rest, he didn't think much about it. He knew that this young man in front of him, with his outstanding appearance, had an extraordinary influence both inside and outside, and that was enough.

The two discussed some specific matters.

Guo Yingzhong arranged for someone to take the money away.

Moreover, they also offered to provide accommodation.

This was something He Yuzhu had not expected, and he was quite satisfied with this cooperation.

He doesn't care about money or anything like that. There are many ways to make money.

Protecting the safety of Lou Xiao'e and Sisi is the top priority.

A wife and children, a family of four, is something no amount of money can buy.

He Yuzhu knew why Guo Yingzhong, a top tycoon, was so straightforward. First, it was because of his status as a commissioner;

Second, Guo Yingzhong already had great ambitions. Wealth was just a string of numbers to him. Unlike many wealthy people who hoard money, he would rather use the money to do something meaningful.

Coca-Cola dominates the global beverage market.

It would be great if a domestic beverage that could compete with it emerged.

With this cooperation.

Lou Xiao'e and Sisi are safe.

He Yuzhu also felt relieved and couldn't help wondering whether he should create China's own "McDonald's" and open it everywhere.

When KFC, McDonald's and Coca-Cola enter the mainland market, they will probably be shocked.

It's quite exciting to think about it.

He Yuzhu has a bit of a bad taste and thinks he can find someone to try it out.

Of course, he won't do it himself, but he can give guidance to others.

Just like Guo Yingzhong, money is just a number at a certain point, and he prefers to do something meaningful with it.

For him, having enough money is enough, and he longs for a quiet and comfortable life.

It is still unknown when Lou Xiao'e and Sisi will return.

He Yuzhu took some time to visit the detective agency.

Inside the office.

He Yuzhu sipped tea leisurely.

Huang Ruo came over like a pug, smiling broadly:

"Boss, um, um, it's not that I don't want to work hard, it's just that you are so, so awesome. You see how hard I've worked these past few days, can you show some appreciation and give me a reward?"

70! I missed it in just one glance.

Huang Ruozhen was so upset that he wanted to jump off the building. How many times in life can one have such an opportunity?

I feel sad when I think about it. I don’t even want to drink tea or eat.

If there is a little reward, life may be bleak, but it can always go on.

"You want dollars?"

He Yuzhu glanced at him calmly.

"The boss really has sharp eyes and can see through my little thoughts at a glance."

Huang Ruo smiled flatteringly, opened the drawer, and took out a box of chocolate beans:

"Boss, try this chocolate, it's delicious, I highly recommend it, you'll never get tired of it."

He Yuzhu took a look at the chocolates and thought about asking Jiqi to buy some for Sisi later. He also thought about whether he should create a domestic chocolate brand. His main purpose was to make delicious chocolate for Sisi, and also to prepare some for the unborn child.
