The booming era begins with the director of the Propaganda Department!

Chapter 391 Paper Tiger!!
Zhang Shenfei discovered that the attitudes of the two men and two women from the Lou family who came today were very different.

The two women were so enthusiastic towards him that it was like an old Q person seeing the H army he hadn't seen for a long time.

Two men?

One of them clearly looked down on him and looked down on him, while the other one was hard to figure out, but he was the one in charge of the family and he was the one who invited him to come.

Didn't they agree on what to say before coming here? Don't they feel embarrassed?
Interesting, really interesting...

Suddenly, a classic line emerged in Zhang Shenfei's mind: Things are becoming more and more interesting.

A disdainful smile appeared on Zhang Shenfei's lips. After glancing at Lou Xiaofeng, he turned to look at Lou Zhenhua.

"Uncle, I am a straightforward person and I don't like to beat around the bush. Why don't we stop talking nonsense and just speak frankly?" he said.

It is now the end of the year 1961. In a few months after the Chinese New Year, the wind direction will change, and everything will be very different by then. So Zhang Shenfei is really not afraid of Lou Zhenhua.

Although the Lou family has been in decline for several years, Lou Zhenhua has been in a high position for a long time after all, and there are few people who speak to him like this.

Also, because she felt that since Zhang Shenfei was dating her daughter, this guy must be trying to please her.

Seeing him speak so bluntly, she was startled for a moment. After she realized what was happening, she felt a little embarrassed. She looked at Lou Xiaofeng awkwardly, "Xiaofeng, go out first and close the door. I have something to say to Shen Fei."

Lou Xiaofeng secretly curled his lips, but on the surface he still stood up respectfully and said, "Then Dad, I'll go out first."

Without saying goodbye to Zhang Shenfei, he stopped pretending after leaving the house and his face turned ashen.

But then he saw his wife Song Xiaofei turning the corner and walking up the stairs with a tray of snacks.

"Where are you going?" Lou Xiaofeng shouted in a rough voice and took a few big steps to block the other person's way.

"Mom asked me to bring some food to Dad and Shen Fei..." Song Xiaofei was a little timid, and her hands holding the tray tightened slightly. It was obvious that she was afraid of her husband.

In fact, in the first few years of their marriage, Lou Xiaofeng treated her very well, and the couple also had a period of mutual respect.

It’s just that in recent years…times have changed…

Thinking of the situation of her mother's family and her current situation, Song Xiaofei's eyes became even dimmer.

She was already struggling to take care of herself without her parents' help, and if she left the Lou family, it would be even more difficult for her to survive as a divorced woman from a capitalist family.

She didn't dare to have too high expectations now, she just wanted to stay with the Lou family and asked Lou Xiaofeng not to abandon her. For this, she could endure anything.

Lou Xiaofeng had no idea of ​​what was going on in Song Xiaofei's mind. He glanced at the snacks on the tray.

Hey, that's some good stuff.

He immediately sneered: "A third-generation farmer, how can he understand macarons and cheese Black Forest cake? What the hell!!! Take it back, take it all back!! "

"I think dad has really gotten old and confused. Ezi is young and has never seen the world, and was fooled by the appearance of this pretty face. Why is he also making trouble? Not only did he not let Ezi break up, he even invited such a thing into the house!!!"

"Hiss!" Song Xiaofei gasped, and with the hand that wasn't holding the tray, she pulled her man over and whispered, "Speak a little quieter. This door has poor soundproofing. Don't let the people inside hear us..."

"So what if you heard it?" Lou Xiaofeng shook Song Xiaofei's hand away and said with disgust, "Dad has been smart all his life, but he is a fool when it comes to choosing a partner for his children."

"I chose you for me so carelessly back then. What has become of your Song family now? If my parents hadn't stopped me, I would have... I haven't learned my lesson yet. Now it's the same with Ezi..."

Whenever he thought of his troublesome Yue family, he became extremely angry.

If the Lou family was in decline, then the Song family was in a state of despair. This made him feel ashamed whenever he got together with his friends, and he was even fed up with seeing Song Xiaofei.

Lou Xiaofeng said a lot more afterwards, but Song Xiaofei couldn't bear to listen any more.

She just said hurriedly, "Then I'll go downstairs first." Then she walked down the second floor with tea and snacks in her hand, and she seemed to be wiping away tears while walking.

Lou Xiaofeng sneered and had no intention of chasing after him at all.

Instead, he was thinking that after Zhang Shenfei left, he would go to Yanzhi Hutong to look for his lover Xiao Cui.

A few days ago, the old man mentioned the idea of ​​leaving Hong Kong City, but it was just a casual remark and nothing was finalized.

His father has always been a man who thinks ten steps ahead before taking one step. Hong Kong City is his last retreat and he will not leave unless it is absolutely necessary.

Besides, whether or not to stay in Sijiu City, and whether or not to stay, depends on the result of today's conversation with Zhang Shenfei.

But what about guarantee? ?

It is better to be safe than sorry. What if the whole family has to go to a port city thousands of miles away? ? So it is better to take advantage of the present time, while people are still in the city, to go there a few more times and play all the games that should be played.

Even if I go to Hong Kong City in the future, I will have no regrets about Xiao Cui, the little vixen. Of course, finding a new lover after arriving in Hong Kong City is another matter.

Lou Xiaofeng, whose mind was full of thoughts about Xiao Cui and A Wei, had already forgotten the conversation between Zhang Shenfei and his father. He turned around and went upstairs to his room to start choosing clothes.

……

The study on the second floor of Lou’s house.

Lou Zhenhua took out a small red box from under the coffee table, put it on the table, and pushed it towards Zhang Shenfei.

Zhang Shenfei opened it puzzled, only to see a hollow gold lock inlaid with white marble inside.

Zhang Shenfei was no stranger to this thing. In the old city of Beijing, most of the time it was given to children by elders, along with good wishes.

He raised his eyebrows and pinched the gold lock, looking curiously at Lou Zhenhua.

The latter said directly: "Comrade Zhang Shenfei, your son is over one year old this year. I didn't have the chance to see him when he was born. This golden lock is a gift from me as an elder to him."

Ah, this... this is clearly about knowing one's marital status.

Zhang Shenfei touched his nose awkwardly, but because he had already expected that Lou Zhenhua would know his true situation, he did not panic.

Lou Zhenhua observed his expression and sighed, "Back then, I tried every possible way, using all my connections and means to send Ezi to Yenching University, so that she could gain knowledge and gain experience, and lay a foundation for her future...

"But I didn't expect that after this girl arrived at school, she actually contacted you and started dating you... I also tried to persuade her, but I also know this girl's character. Although she is usually carefree, in fact, once she makes up her mind, no one can pull her back. You two have been dating since your freshman year, and it has been two years now. I can see that Gezi's passion for you has not diminished, but has become deeper and deeper..."

Zhang Shenfei didn't know what Lou Zhenhua was going to say next, he just listened quietly.

"Two years have passed in a blink of an eye. When you were in the ivory tower, you could still use the excuse that the country does not allow college students to get married. But now you are about to graduate... Zhang Shenfei, let me ask you, how do you plan to arrange for our Xiao'e?"

Ah... If you walk along the river often, you will get your feet wet. ? Urging marriage may be late, but it will come.

Zhang Shenfei sighed, it has finally come to this.

Seeing Zhang Shenfei remained silent, Lou Zhenhua asked again: "Tell me the truth, Zhang Shenfei, do you like Xiao'e?"

"Of course I like her. If Xiao'e and my uncle and aunt are willing, I am willing to take care of and protect Lou Xiao'e for the rest of her life and not let anyone hurt her." Zhang Shenfei looked at Lou Zhenhua with sharp eyes and promised.

Lou Zhenhua smiled slightly contemptuously, as if mocking Zhang Shenfei's arrogance: "In the heyday of my Lou family, we owned one-third of the industry in Sijiu City and were nicknamed Lou Bancheng. My grandfather was a red-topped businessman, and even the emperor of the pigtail country owed him money.

My father has businesses in Shanghai, Guangdong, and other places besides the city of Beijing. During the war, the motherland was in turmoil, but I was able to do business in the turbulent times. I was humble but never forgot my concerns for the country. I donated airplanes during the war.

Although I have donated most of my property, my Lou family is still strong and the annual dividend is also one million... Do you think that my daughter, Lou Zhenhua, needs a yellow-haired boy like you to protect her? ? "

In his imagination, after hearing these words, Zhang Shenfei would have a serious expression even if he wasn't angry or embarrassed.

Unexpectedly, the other party laughed after hearing this: "If he is really as strong as you said, why did you find a third-generation farmer and a working-class girl for Mozi to date three months ago?"

"If Xiao'e hadn't refused to comply, she and the other party would have already obtained a marriage certificate by now, right?"

Hiss... Moth actually told Zhang Shenfei all about this? ?
As expected, girls are extroverts, and when they grow up, they become introverted. Lou Zhenhua was choked and speechless.

Zhang Shenfei said, "Uncle, I guess it's because Gezi refused to go on a blind date last time and you couldn't control her, so you asked me to come here, right?

"I'm actually quite curious. You clearly know that I've been dating Mozi for two years, but you've always taken a tacit attitude towards this. Aren't you attracted by my working-class identity? If that's the case, what's the point of saying those high-sounding words now?"

Although Lou Xiao'e is beautiful and her family is rich, this is an era where C scores are important, and a good C score is like having a talisman.

No matter how awesome Lou Zhenhua is, his family is still capitalists, belonging to the lowest class, C.

If Lou Xiao'e were to look for a partner normally, she could only find someone from another capitalist family.

Or, as in the original novel, find a working-class person like Xu Damao who loves money but has no ability. This way, Lou Xiao'e's own safety can be guaranteed and the Lou family's determination to stand with the people can be shown.

From this perspective, Zhang Shenfei, a capable working-class guy who can write novels, invent things, and is a handsome college graduate, is undoubtedly a step above Lou Xiaoe's reach.

What's more, he is still a cadre. If a cadre marries the daughter of a capitalist, his career will basically be over, if not completely.

Zhang Shenfei remembered watching a TV series called Parental Love in his previous life. In the TV series, Jiang Dfu, a cadre with outstanding achievements, was exiled to a small island just because he married An Ji, a daughter of a capitalist.

When Zhang Shenfei learned from Lou Xiao'e that the Lou couple knew that he and Lou Xiao'e were dating but let it go, he thought about this problem.

The final conclusion is that Lou Zhenhua allowed Lou Xiao'e to date him for two years, probably with the idea of ​​letting their relationship continue to deepen, to the point where he would marry Lou Xiao'e regardless of their future.

Don’t be fooled by Lou Zhenhua’s high-sounding words now, they are actually just a paper tiger.

Hearing this, Lou Zhenhua was stunned for a moment, and ignored Zhang Shenfei's words. He turned around and said, "You're about to graduate. Have you thought about your future?"

Another person asking me where I was going? Zhang Shenfei was puzzled. How many people had asked this question? Why were so many people concerned about his whereabouts?
He didn't waste any words and repeated to Lou Zhenhua what he had said to others before.

"It is not up to me to decide where to go; it all depends on the organization's arrangements. But no matter what position I am in, I will serve the people and I will work hard!" he emphasized at the end.

"Of course most people have to follow the arrangements, but there are exceptions to everything," Lou Zhenhua said meaningfully.

"There's nothing wrong with what you said." Zhang Shenfei nodded.

In every era and every profession, there are special Q classes, and the same is true for graduation assignments. He expected that Lou Zhenhua would have something else to say next.

Lou Zhenhua seemed to relax a little after hearing this and leaned back on the sofa: "If you want to go back to the steel mill, I can help you run it. Although Director Yang has a foundation, I also have people above me."

"You were already the deputy director of the steel mill before you went to college. You went to college as a transfer student. It's reasonable for you to get promoted to a higher level after you return. No one will say anything."

In Lou Zhenhua's opinion, Zhang Shenfei's words just now were nothing but empty words that people of this era are most adept at. He has come into contact with many high-ranking people, and all of them are full of slogans, but they also do many dirty things behind the scenes.

Besides, who can’t shout slogans?

If Zhang Shenfei was really as indifferent as he said, how could he have been so dedicated and attentive to Director Yang when he was his secretary?

What's more, according to his investigation, Zhang Shenfei has close contacts with the secretaries of other factories in Sijiu City and has his own specific social circle.

Since she intends to maintain such a circle of special value, Zhang Shenfei cannot be an indifferent and detached person.

finished,

He tapped his knees with his fingertips, waiting for Zhang Shenfei's reply with a cheerful expression.

"What are the conditions?" Zhang Shenfei asked calmly, "Why do you want to help me?"

"Divorced, married a moth." Lou Zhenhua said, "A lean camel is bigger than a horse. Although my Lou family is in decline now, when other capitalists have already done that, my family can still stay safe. Naturally, it is because I have my own means and background.

Although my family is a capitalist, the impact on your promotion will not be as great as you think."

“On the contrary, as long as you marry Moth, I will use all my means and connections to help you move forward, leaving no stone unturned.

Your current wife is just an ordinary director of the street office, and her family can't provide you with any help. Shen Fei, I know you are a smart person and you should know how to choose. "

Lou Zhenhua spoke slowly, but in a very calm tone. Although he had donated all his family's assets, he usually seemed to be a simple person.

But he was not really isolated from the world, he had always maintained close contact with the people behind him, and had given a lot of evidence. He was confident that as long as he paid enough, the other party would be able to protect him.

If Zhang Shenfei marries Lou Xiao'e, and with the help of people behind the scenes, he helps Zhang Shenfei to take power, then the Lou family will have doubly protected in the future.

PS: Sorry, I was sick a while ago and didn't update. I don't know what happened in the past year, I was always sick, I'm really sorry.
