Siheyuan: Craftsmen of a Great Country

Chapter 263 Lou Zhenhua invites guests to dinner

After get off work, Jiang Chen just walked out of the laboratory door, followed by Liu Yue and Luo Xue.

He looked up and saw Li Guangfu.

Next to him was a thin, middle-aged man, faintly exuding shrewdness.

When Li Guangfu saw Jiang Chen, he smiled and said hello: "Director Jiang, hello."

Jiang Chen smiled and said, "Director Li, are you waiting here?"

Li Guangfu nodded: "Aren't we just waiting for you here?"

Jiang Chen was stunned: "Oh, Director Li has something to do with me?"

Instead of looking for him during working hours, I chose to wait here during off-duty hours. It was obviously a private matter to look for him.

Li Guangfu smiled and said: "Here, let me introduce to you. This is Lou Zhenhua Lou's shareholder. Before the joint venture, he was one of the owners of No. 3 Steel Plant. Now he still gets fixed interest every year."

Lou Zhenhua smiled and said: "Comrade Jiang Chen is indeed a talented person. I have heard of your name a lot these days. It was even on the front page of National Daily twice. You are the only one in the entire No. 3 Steel Plant."

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Chen turned back to Liu Yue and said, "Xiaoyue, you go home first and tell mom that I won't be home for dinner today."

After speaking, he took the initiative to extend his hand and shake Jiang Chen's hand.

Lou Zhenhua, Lou Bancheng?
Why did he come to find me?
It is now 59. Although the original shareholders still receive fixed interest rates, they have already withdrawn from the actual operation and management.

Jiang Chen felt a chill in his heart, what kind of word was this?

When the two women left, Lou Zhenhua said: "Let's go to Tongchun Garden, I have already decided on a place."

I don't know why, but he looks a bit like a big bad wolf when he smiles.

It can be said that apart from taking money, it has nothing to do with the No. 3 Steel Factory.

Known as Lou Bancheng, this guy has a lot of money and a wide network of contacts.

If you walk over, it's quite embarrassing.

It is about seven or eight kilometers from the steel rolling mill to Tongchun Garden.

He took the initiative to come to him, something must have happened, so Jiang Chen did not refuse.

Liu Yue nodded: "Okay, leader, I'll leave first."

Jiang Chen nodded: "Alright."

Lou Zhenhua raised his head and glanced at Liu Yue, then smiled and nodded to her.

Jiang Chen smiled and said: "Oh, shareholder Lou, hello, hello!"

"Why don't you put your bicycle in the factory temporarily? I found a car and will wait outside the factory."

like?

After that, he pushed the bicycle back to the laboratory.

Li Guangfu has been working in the factory and is considered a veteran. It is not surprising that he is familiar with Lou Zhenhua.

Li Guangfu said: "It's like this. Shareholder Lou is very fond of a young hero like you. I want to invite you to have a meal and chat with me."

It is absolutely safe here, and no one would dare to touch the car if it is lost.

Then, together with Lou Zhenhua and Li Guangfu, they walked out of the factory and heard a Yangtze River jeep outside.

Jiang Chen's eyes lit up.

In the eyes of future generations, this car may not be anything special.

But now, it is definitely a rarity.

It was launched in May last year, and the output is not large. If nothing else happens, it will participate in this year's National Day military parade.

This is not something you can get with money.

It seems that although Lou Bancheng no longer manages the No. 3 Steel Plant, he still has a lot of energy.

After getting in the car, Lou Zhenhua took out a cigar and gave one to each of Jiang Chen and Li Guangfu.

Li Guangfu said: "Hey, shareholder Lou still has this good thing?"

Lou Zhenhua smiled and said: "Someone else brought it back from Luzon. I couldn't get used to it, so I gave it to me."

Jiang Chen was not polite and reached out to take it and light it.

He has never tasted a cigar since he came to this world.

Although I don’t like it, it’s good to change the taste once in a while.

The vehicle drove smoothly and stopped outside Tongchun Garden in about ten minutes.

Lou Zhenhua said: "You two, please come this way."

He led the two of them all the way to the reserved private room. In the private room, there was a young girl sitting inside, who felt a little embarrassed when she saw several people coming in.

Lou Zhenhua smiled and said: "This is my little girl, Lou Xiao'e."

Lou Xiao'e stood up and whispered: "Uncle Li!"

Lou Zhenhua pointed at Jiang Chen and said, "This is the national treasure engineer who has recently become famous, Director Jiang Chen."

Lou Xiao'e said coyly: "Director Jiang, hello."

Lou Zhenhua shook his head and said to Lou Xiao'e: "Go and ask the kitchen to serve food."

Lou Xiao'e nodded and ran out of the private room.

Li Guangfu laughed: "I haven't seen Xiao'e for a while. This girl is getting more and more beautiful."

Lou Zhenhua said: "I was studying before, but I just stayed at home a few years ago."

Li Guangfu asked: "Xiao'e is 19 this year, right?"

Lou Zhenhua nodded: "Well, 40 years old, 19 years old."

"By the way, Xiao Jiang, what year are you from?"

Jiang Chen said: "I am 38 years old and I am 21 this year!"

Lou Zhenhua smiled and said: "Very good!"

Jiang Chen and Zhang Erjiang couldn't figure out what's so good about this.

Li Guangfu said: "Comrade Jiang Chen is really young and promising. He is an 21th grade engineer at the age of 8 and manages a huge engineering department. His future is limitless."

Lou Zhenhua said: "I heard that your father was a soldier? Sacrifice?"

Jiang Chen said: "Well, I was injured during the Peninsula War. After I came back, my injury worsened and I didn't survive."

At this time, Lou Xiao'e walked in, followed by several waiters.

Start serving food.

Soon a table was filled.

It's really too luxurious.

That is to say, the privacy in the private room is good, otherwise it is easy to get into trouble with this way of eating.

The last waiter put down the dishes in his hands: "The dishes have been served, please take your time."

Although they are all publicly owned, the service attitude here is much better than that of state-owned hotels where hitting customers is clearly prohibited.

Lou Xiao'e stood up and poured wine into the glasses in front of the three of them.

Lou Zhenhua raised his glass: "It's fate that we meet each other. Come on, let's have a drink."

"Thank you, shareholder Lou, for your hospitality." Jiang Chen also picked up the wine glass, clinked it with the two of them, and drank it all.

Putting down the wine glass, Lou Zhenhua said: "Move your chopsticks, use your chopsticks. The squirrel and mandarin fish here are one of a kind. They are the treasure of the restaurant. You will never get tired of eating them."

"Xiao Jiang, just treat me as one of your own, you're welcome."

Jiang Chen picked up a piece of squirrel mandarin fish and put it into his mouth. It tasted really good.

Then a few people started chatting and eating vegetables.

Lou Xiao'e was eating quietly on the side, occasionally raising her head to peek at Jiang Chen, and then quickly looking away.

After drinking for three rounds, Jiang Chen said: "Shareholder Lou, Director Li, you've eaten and drank, it's time to talk about business, right?"

He finally figured it out. If he didn't take the initiative to mention it, these two old foxes would be wasted until tomorrow.

Li Guangfu looked at Lou Zhenhua, he didn't know what was going on.

When he was about to get off work, Lou Zhenhua suddenly found him and asked him to introduce Jiang Chen so that they could have a meal together.

The relationship was there, and it wasn't a big deal, so he agreed.

Lou Zhenhua was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "Old Li knows a little about my family's situation, but Xiao Jiang may not know much about it."

"In the past, I was busy with my career, working hard in the factory every day, and neglected my family, so I only had a child like Xiao'e in the family."

"Now that the factory is under state management, I have free time. I don't have to worry about anything. I can just wait for the fixed interest rate."

"The only person I'm worried about is my daughter. She's already 19 this year, so she should have found a suitable person to marry."

"But also because of this factory, my background is somewhat disharmonious and unclean. If Xiao'e wants to live a stable life, she needs to marry someone with a good background, preferably a comrade worker."

"But the one with a good family background is worried about our family. The one with a bad family background, we are worried that he can't protect Xiao'e, so the matter has been postponed."
