Lou Bancheng was working in his office when Old Qian knocked on the door, saying that there was a guest who wanted to see him. He handed He Shaoqing's ID card to Lou Bancheng.
Lou Bancheng took it and opened it. He Shaoqing's information was written on it. Lou Bancheng looked at it and immediately remembered the person he met at He Daqing's house a few years ago.
When Lou Bancheng saw He Shaoqing's military rank, he was also slightly stunned. He Daqing had never told him about He Shaoqing, nor had he ever mentioned his brother or He Shaoqing joining the army.
Lou Bancheng felt that there must be a reason for him to come here, so he walked to the front door with Old Qian.
"Mr. Lou, you flatter me. I came here this time because I have something to discuss with you. If you don't mind, can I give you some time?”
Seeing that Lou Bancheng had a good relationship with his brother, He Shaoqing still paid him enough attention and spoke with a bit of respect.
"Guild Leader He is too polite. No problem. Let's go inside and talk. The people here have left.”
"Mr. Lou, don't call me Teacher He. Just call me He Shaoqing. You and my brother have been friends for so many years.”
Seeing He Shaoqing giving him so much face, Lou Bancheng immediately laughed heartily.
"Alright, I won't call you Shaoqing anymore. Let's go back to your office."
He Shaoqing followed Lou Bancheng into the steel mill. It was also He Shaoqing's first time here. He had to admit that the steel mill was quite famous in the city.
The largest steel factory in the city was the Shijingshan Steel Factory. Lou Bancheng's steel factory was the second largest steel factory. Now, the steel factory had more than 1,000 workers. Lou Bancheng also had many businesses, such as shopping malls and other factories.
Lou Bancheng was a famous figure in the city. During the Republic of China, the Lou family was the most powerful family in the city. Lou Bancheng had three concubines and two children, one male and one female. One of them was about the same age as his nephew, and the other was older than him.
With Lou Bancheng's status, He Shaoqing really didn't know how he got involved with his brother. His brother was just an ordinary chef.
"Shaoqing, I really didn't know you were the commander of the 38th division. You're indeed a formidable person."
"Mister Lou is too polite, I was just lucky to survive."
"I'm not much older than you. If you don't mind, you can call me Brother Lou.”
As the two of them talked, they walked in the direction of the steel plant. It was the closing time of the steel plant, and a large number of steel plant workers walked out of the steel plant.
Yi Zhonghai was very happy. When Jia Dongxu first came to the factory a year ago, he had already accepted him as his disciple. Now that Jia Dongxu suddenly offered to take care of him, Yi Zhonghai was very happy.
Yi Zhonghai was born in 1920. He was only three years old when He Daqing was born. He was much younger than Old Merchant and Jia Zhangshi. He was very jealous when he saw his child grow up in his own home.
Yi Zhonghai and his wife had no children. This was his biggest regret. He had once thought of adopting one, but all these years, he had been worried.
It all started in 1939. At that time, a neighbor's family adopted an eight-year-old boy. The boy was obedient at first, but as he grew older, he became addicted to gambling.
Not only did he lose all his assets, but he also beat up his adoptive parents. This made Yi Zhonghai very clear that people who were not related by blood could never be trusted.
Yi Zhonghai had always admired Jia Dongxu. Although he didn't talk much, he was honest and kind. He was like his father, who didn't inherit his mother's character.
On this day, he left the company with Jia Dongxu and came to the door. Yi Zhonghai followed behind him.
"Dongxu, have a meal with me and ask your wife to cut a few pieces of meat for us. We'll drink together."
In Old Four Nine City, people had no other hobbies other than drinking. As long as they were in the mood, they would go and have a few drinks. In this era, people did not have much leisure time, so they usually went to rest after eating. Therefore, they would also go and drink.
"Alright, Master. I'll go back and tell my mother."
As the two of them were talking, they walked out of the workshop and bumped into Liu Haizhong. He was also busy with his work. Coincidentally, Liu Haizhong was also busy with his work. Liu Haizhong was a blacksmith. He was fat and strong, so he knocked the two of them away with a glance.
"Old Yi, what's wrong? What's wrong? Do you want some wine?”
Yi Zhonghai was shocked by this sudden scene and almost fell to the ground. He turned around and saw that Liu Haizhong had pushed them onto his fringe.
"Old Liu, I thought I was being ostracized. It's okay, I'm in a good mood today, so I invited Dongxu for a drink. Do you have anything on tonight?”
Liu Haizhong was still thinking about how to drink with Yi Zhonghai, but when he heard that, he was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly.
"Alright, then I'll put a peanut in for you."
Yi Zhonghai didn't argue with Old Liu. It was already good enough to have a peanut. In this era, many people even had to dip red wine in rocks. Peanut was already good enough.
"Alright, come to my house then."
At this moment, Jia Dongxu suddenly saw He Shaoqing and Lou Bancheng.
"Old Master, this must be Uncle He, He Shaoqing!”
Yi Zhonghai was still discussing today's matter with Liu Haizhong when he suddenly heard Jia Dongxu's voice. He suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction Liu Haizhong was pointing at.
He Shaoqing also noticed Yi Zhonghai and the others. He just stood in the distance and did not have the intention to strike up a conversation.
"This He Shaoqing, why would he appear beside our manager? I don't know what kind of relationship he has with Mr. Lou."
Liu Haizhong and the others knew nothing about He Shaoqing's identity. They only knew that he was an officer in the army. He Daqing had never mentioned him in the neighborhood.
The He family's second brother and the neighbors of the Siheyuan were very strange. Although the two of them were biological brothers, their temperaments were very different. They were meticulous and meticulous in their actions.
"I thought Old He was an acquaintance of Factory Manager Lou. I think Old He recommended him.”
Yi Zhonghai didn't delve into this matter. He Daqing and Lou Bancheng were old acquaintances, so it was only natural that He Shaoqing and Lou Bancheng knew each other.
At this moment, Liu Hai couldn't help but think that he had asked He Daqing to look for Lou Bancheng and offer him a small position.
He didn't expect He Daqing to be so stubborn. Judging from the conversation between He Shaoqing and Lou Bancheng, their relationship should be pretty good. Should I beg He Shaoqing for mercy?
Ever since He Shaoqing found out about his wife's pregnancy, Liu Haizhong knew that He Shaoqing was not simple. He was very respectful to him. He did not refuse when he wanted to treat his wife.
Liu Haizhong was even more certain of his guess. He thought to himself, Should I find some time to have a good talk with He Shaoqing?
He Shaoqing didn't know what Liu Haizhong was thinking. Even if Liu Haizhong really wanted his help, he would never agree. Not to mention that Lou Bancheng had only met him twice, even if it was someone he was familiar with, he would never help him do such a thing.
Yi Zhonghai saw Liu Haizhong stop in his tracks and was deep in thought. He quickly called out,"
"Old Liu, what are you waiting for? Go back quickly!"
"Hey, hey, I'm here!"
Seeing that He Shaoqing was looking at Yi Zhonghai and the others, Lou Bancheng asked curiously,"
"Yes, you know who he is. Do you want to tell him?”
He Shaoqing shook his head repeatedly.
"No need. She's at my brother's house.”
There were more than 1,000 people in this mill, and many of them were capable people. Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong were among them, but Lou Bancheng certainly didn't know.
"Shaoqing, what do you think of my factory?”
During the process of entering, He Shaoqing had roughly observed the area of the steel-making factory. Although it was not very big, it was not very small either.
"I'm just an outsider. It's not good for me to say anything.”
The two of them walked in as they talked. Soon, they arrived at a white three-story building. After entering, Lou Bancheng asked his assistant, He Shaoqing, to make a pot of tea. Then, they sat down and started discussing business.
"Brother Lou, I came here this time to discuss this house with you."
Lou Bancheng was confused.
"This is a house in South Copper Gong Alley. I know that most of the houses here are yours, but something happened recently and I happen to be lacking a house. I just wanted to see if you have a suitable house here.”
Lou Bancheng immediately understood. So that was the case. The small courtyard in South Copper Gong Alley was indeed his. He only wanted to sell it and let his employees live there. Therefore, there were still many empty houses in the small courtyard.
"You're welcome. There's an empty house over there. If you want it, I'll give it to you."
As soon as Lou Bancheng finished speaking, He Shaoqing waved his hand.
"No, no, no, Brother Lou, this is not my fault. This is not what I want. Besides, I don't need so much money.”
He Shaoqing told him about Cheng Jun, Wang Hongying, and the Zhao family. Lou Bancheng immediately agreed to give them some rooms.
"Senior Brother Lou, don't worry. By the way, I want to sell all the broken houses in my brother's house. I want to renovate them so that my nephew can live in them.”
Lou Bancheng racked his brains, but he never thought that there would be such a thing as a room being sold out in his own courtyard. Therefore, he asked his assistant to call the person in charge of the logistics department over and asked him about it.
Lou Bancheng wanted to give these houses to He Shaoqing, but He Shaoqing didn't want them. If it was Wang Hongying and the Zhao family, he could accept them, but he wanted these houses for his nephew's future marriage.
"Brother Lou, you don't have to stand on ceremony. We have rules in the team. I will accept your kindness. I have to give you some money for those broken houses."
Seeing He Shaoqing's determination, Lou Bancheng could only nod and agree.
"Then it's a deal. Don't worry, I'll help you settle the procedures for your property in the next two days and get someone to send you the property ownership certificate."
"Thank you, Brother Lou."
