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

Chapter 392 Five-year agreement!

Zhang Shenfei couldn't stand Lou Zhenhua's superior attitude.

Why are you pretending? No matter how powerful the Lou family was before, it is now at the end of its strength. Even at this point, they still have to act like a superior.

What kind of PUA? ? Yes, I know you have someone above you, so I can still maintain a decent attitude for now.

But if your Lou family and the people behind you were really that awesome, the TV series wouldn't be so tragic...

The Lou family suffered such a miserable fate later on because the people behind them fell, and no one was left unscathed.

Lou Zhenhua had no foresight and could not guess that the towering tree in his eyes would also collapse one day. He was obviously very confident in the other party, so he felt safe and sat on the Diaoyutai.

But what Lou Zhenhua thinks is one thing, and the final outcome is another. Zhang Shenfei will not indulge him, nor will he look up at him eagerly and put himself in a position to kneel down.

Zhang Shenfei pointed it out without hesitation: "Zao'er's family naturally cannot provide me with assistance, but they will not hold me back or become my weak spot. We move forward together, step by step, and we may not have a bad life in the future.

If I marry Lou Xiao'e, will the benefits outweigh the disadvantages, or will the disadvantages outweigh the benefits? It is said that there are thieves who can be thieves for a thousand days, but there is no such thing as a thief who can be on guard for a thousand days. The future is full of ups and downs and the situation is unpredictable. I can't live in fear all my life, can I? "

Lou Zhenhua's face changed again. Yes, if Zhang Shenfei and Lou Xiao'e got married, the Lou family would certainly provide a great help to Zhang Shenfei. But the Lou family's identity would also be an indelible stain on Zhang Shenfei.

No matter when, as long as Zhang Shenfei is still with Lou Xiao'e, this stain will never go away.

Even if he reached a high position, he would be attacked by others and even put in danger. Obviously, Zhang Shenfei did not want to take this risk.

The discussion had reached an impasse. Lou Zhenhua said with a sullen face, "Since you despise my Lou family so much and dislike my moth so much, why did you come to the appointment today?"

"Didn't you invite me?" Zhang Shenfei asked back, "Ezi said his parents invited me to dinner, most likely they wanted to see their new son-in-law, so I came..."

See the new son-in-law?

Now Lou Zhenhua really couldn't understand.

On the one hand, he was unwilling to marry Lou Xiao'e and despised the Lou family. On the other hand, he considered himself the new son-in-law of the Lou family...

What exactly is Shen Fei selling in this gourd?

……

If at the beginning Lou Zhenhua thought he had the initiative and always looked like he was in control of everything.

But now the situation seems to have reversed. He looked at Zhang Shenfei, but was still unsure what he was up to.

In contrast, Zhang Shenfei looked calm and composed.

He picked up the already warm tea, took a sip, put down the teacup, and leaned back on the sofa in an extremely comfortable posture, with his hands crossed on his knees.

Silence, deathly silence in the huge study. The two looked at each other silently, without saying a word, as if they were both waiting for the other to speak.

After a long time, Lou Zhenhua couldn't help but speak:

"Having said that, let's not beat around the bush. Zhang Shenfei, you are a smart man. Let's just talk openly and honestly?"

Zhang Shenfei chuckled. When he first entered the study, he had said something similar to Lou Zhenhua.

Unexpectedly, just a few dozen minutes later, the same sentence was spoken by Lou Zhenhua.

Does this mean that I have taken the initiative in this conversation? Have I become the leader?
However, he did not mean to push the other party, and said what he had thought of before: "Uncle, I really like Ge Zi, and I really want to live a good life with her... But I have a wife, and I have a good relationship with her. You came from the old times, and you were also... You should understand my feelings for them. I can't accept losing either of them."

He didn't say what it was, but Lou Zhenhua already understood.

Before the country enforced monogamy, he had four concubines. Even Lou Xiao'e's mother was not his legal wife, but his youngest concubine.

Although he has now distanced himself from his other wives, divorced his first wife, and obtained a marriage certificate with Lou Xiao'e's mother, those wives and children still rely on him for support behind the scenes.

In other words, although only five of the Lou family lived in the villa, secretly, the Lou family was still a large family of twenty-three people.

There are many cases like the Lou family in the old city and even in the whole country.

There is nothing new under the sun. In fact, this situation is not uncommon not only among capitalists but also among those in high positions.

As for men, once they reach a certain social status and economic strength, it is almost common for them to play with women. Producing offspring and spreading the family line is an instinct ingrained in their bones.

As long as he doesn't cause any trouble, others will just say he is a talented and romantic man.

If he were to look at it from a different perspective today and hear about what Zhang Shenfei did, Lou Zhenhua felt that he would only smile knowingly and say that a young man is not worth his youth if he does not indulge in romance.

only……

She was just Lou Zhenhua’s daughter, why should she be someone’s mistress? ? ? She was just a junior cadre with a grade 15 degree, who didn’t know what to do after graduation? ? ?
Lou Zhenhua sneered: "Young man, the greatest desires of human beings are nothing more than food, sex and love. It is normal for you to want to enjoy all the happiness of a woman. There are many people in the city who are in the same situation as you. But..."

"But you have to piss yourself to see what you look like. You, Zhang Shenfei, a yellow-haired boy, are you worthy of being my daughter, Lou Zhenhua's mistress?" Zhang Shenfei answered and smiled, "Uncle, is this what you want to say?

So, what position or power do you think is worthy of your Lou family's daughter being your mistress... or to put it bluntly, what kind of status would allow you to willingly sell your daughter?"

In the final analysis, Lou Zhenhua let his daughter marry a working-class person in exchange for ZZ correctness, which is essentially the same as selling his daughter.

The only disagreement between him and me now is that his daughter was reduced from a wife to a concubine, and he was unwilling to accept it.

However, as long as the other party wants to sell, there is room for negotiation.

This was really harsh, and before he finished speaking, Lou Zhenhua slammed the table. Although the words were rough, Zhang Shenfei's words were too rough.

But Zhang Shenfei remained calm: "Lou Xiao'e really likes me. She is willing to go against her family for me and be with me at all costs.

And I really like her, my wife, and Chen Xueru, Xu Huizhen... I don't have any other advantages, but if a woman follows me, I will take good care of her for the rest of her life, and even her family.

I know you think I am daydreaming now, uncle. But if you give me some time, I will show you my strength within five years.

By then, you will definitely agree that I can be with Ezi, and even willingly hand Lou Xiaoe over to me."

"Five years?" Lou Zhenhua repeated, sneering, "How many five years are there in a lifetime?" Zhang Shenfei looked serious, but his words were powerful: "Five years is certainly not a short time, but it is worth it to use five years to get a son-in-law who can protect the Lou family.

Besides, whether you agree or not, the result is the same. You know Lou Xiao'e's character better than I do. She is a big goose, very stubborn. Once she bites, she won't let go until she has twisted off a piece of meat. She loves me wholeheartedly now, and you or her brother can't change anything by intervening."

How could Lou Zhenhua not understand this?

It is true that he is a big capitalist from the old society and has no shortage of connections and financial resources. If he is pushed to the limit, he can find a way to make Zhang Shenfei fall flat on his face and learn a severe lesson.

But what about Moth? He didn't even dare to imagine what that stubborn girl would do...

Thinking of this, he silently looked at Zhang Shenfei, the young man who entered the steel rolling mill at the age of 18 and became a level 15 cadre in just nine years.

If someone else had said what Zhang Shenfei had just said, "I can protect the Lou family in five years," he would have laughed at him without hesitation, thinking that the other person was daydreaming.

But if a 27-year-old level 15 cadre said this, it would seem to have a lot more credibility.

He still remembered this man's high-spirited look and the contributions he had made to the steel rolling mill. Wen, a mentor in the Ministry of Metallurgy, had already become a big leader, and he would definitely be recruited under this man in the future.

We also know that the peeler designed by Zhang Shenfei is still making continuous contributions to the country's foreign trade.

From a certain perspective,

Zhang Shenfei's promise and his special meeting with Zhang Shenfei today, thinking of making the other party the son-in-law of the Lou family, using all the strength of the Lou family to help him ascend to the throne, and then getting the other party's protection, the goal they thought of achieving was actually the same goal.

The only difference is that his daughter Lou Xiao'e has changed from a wife to a concubine...

The daughter of Lou Bancheng became someone's concubine? Of course, it would be bad to spread this, but what if the Lou family could benefit from it?

In the final analysis, reputation is illusory, and real interests are the most important, especially for the Lou family, which is now on the verge of collapse.

It is certainly good to lean on a big tree, but a tree that is supported by money is not as stable as a relationship with marriage.

"Five years, what if you can't do it?" Lou Zhenhua asked slowly after a moment of silence.

"If I can't do it, I will let you do whatever you want. I, Zhang Shenfei, will have no complaints." Zhang Shenfei said firmly, "If you can do it, the Lou family will definitely benefit greatly. It can be said that the Lou family has not suffered any loss in our five-year agreement."

How could Lou Zhenhua not understand this truth? ? However, this would ultimately be unfair to the moth.

After a long time, Lou Zhenhua made up his mind: "You let Moth do small things...Does she know?"

"As long as you agree, I will talk to her about the rest." Zhang Shenfei replied.

Growing up in a family like the Lou family and being the child of a concubine, Lou Xiao'e was more accepting of being a concubine than girls from ordinary families of that era. This can be seen from Chen Xueru, who is also the daughter of a concubine.

After another long silence, Lou Zhenhua said with deep helplessness, "I, Lou Zhenhua, have three sons, but only one daughter, Gezi... No matter what happens in the future, you must treat her well in the next five years. If you treat her badly, her brothers will not stand idly by."

Zhang Shenfei nodded: "Don't worry."

He thought again, if the three sons of the Lou family were not all weaklings, why would he let his only daughter be a concubine and rely on Zhang Shenfei, who is not from the same family? ?

Lou Zhenhua was so concerned that he was confused. Mentioning his three sons at this time not only failed to provide any deterrent effect, but instead made people realize that the Lou family had no successors and was at the end of its strength.

Of course, even though this is the truth, he would not abandon her or mistreat Lou Xiao'e.

"Shen Fei, I hope no third person knows the content of our conversation today." Lou Zhenhua still wanted to retain some of his image in his daughter's heart.

"Don't worry, I won't tell Xiao'e." Zhang Shenfei stood up after he said that. The serious business had been discussed and the next step was the family dinner.

……

Lou family villa, first floor.

Lou's mother, Tan Yali, sat on the sofa for a while, then got up and walked to the stairs, looking up in the direction of the study on the second floor, and finally wandered around the living room.

Tan Yali just felt dizzy: "Mozi, you haven't been home for a month. You finally came back, can't you sit down and talk to your mother for a while?"

Lou Xiao'e continued to look in the direction of the study, and listened for a while. After making sure that the person inside had no intention of coming out, she stamped her feet anxiously, turned around and threw herself into her mother's arms on the sofa.

"Mom, what did Dad say when he called Dafei upstairs? He's not going to disagree with Dafei and me, is he?"

When she thought about how her father forced her to go on a blind date with a worker at a steel mill a few months ago, she picked her nails in anxiety.

At that time, she just wanted to get her momentary pleasure, and she refused to agree, which made the situation too rigid. Would Dad bear a grudge and take revenge on Dafei?

Tan Yali was both amused and confused: "What is this girl talking about? Your father is a businessman...elder. How many ups and downs has he experienced in his life? How much of the world has he seen? Is it necessary for him to do such a shameful thing?"

Lou Xiao'e pouted: "What on earth were they talking about upstairs? Why didn't they come out for so long?"

"I don't know." Tan Yali shook her head.

It's not that she doesn't want to say it, it's just that the man didn't say it. It's still unclear whether the two people upstairs have reached an agreement or not.

If she said something wrong, Lou Xiao'e would be angry again. If things didn't end well, she, as a mother, would also suffer.

Lou Xiao'e's eyes suddenly lit up: "Mom, tell me something for sure. Dad is going to meet Dafei today. Does he agree with our marriage?"

Tan Yali couldn't help but scratch her nose with her finger: "How can you say that as a grown-up girl? Aren't you shameless?"

"Why are you being ashamed? It's a new society now, why are you still using the old ways?" Lou Xiao'e didn't blush at all and continued to pester her mother, "Mom, didn't Dad tell you? Does he agree to my marriage with Dafei?"

"Oh, I really don't know... When does your father discuss things with me... Hey, they are coming down, you can ask your father yourself." Tan Yali was annoyed by her daughter's noise. Seeing Lou Zhenhua and Zhang Shenfei coming down the stairs one after another, she immediately diverted her attention.

"Dafei, you finally came out!" Lou Xiao'e stood up suddenly and ran over, her small leather shoes making a dull sound on the solid wood floor.

When she stood in front of Zhang Shenfei, she was still concerned about her parents being in front of her, so she didn't dare to go forward and make any intimate gestures. She just secretly observed her father's expression.
