After Cao Zhiqiang's long speech, Lou Xiao'e fell silent, but she didn't put down the phone either. She was obviously tempted, or was thinking about what he said.
Cao Zhiqiang had already expected this, so he crossed his legs and listened to the phone with a relaxed look on his face.
When Cao Zhiqiang was watching TV series in his previous life, he saw many people on the Internet saying that the only good person in the courtyard was Lou Xiao'e, but in Cao Zhiqiang's view, this was fart.
It was hard to tell before Lou Xiaoe went to Hong Kong, but Lou Xiaoe who returned from Hong Kong was obviously not a white lotus, at least not a good person.
The reason is very simple, that is, Lou Xiao'e's purpose of coming back this time is not pure.
Yes, it was right to let Shazhu meet his son, but did Lou Xiaoe bring her son back just to let the father and son recognize each other?
Not really!
It should be said that the recognition of father and son was only one of the reasons Lou Xiao'e brought her son here. The biggest purpose was to impress He Yuzhu and continue to relive old dreams with He Yuzhu.
To put it bluntly, Lou Xiao'e is a typical third-party intervention, and it is blatant.
Because when Lou Xiao'e snatched He Yuzhu, He Yuzhu had not yet divorced, and his official wife Qin Huairu was still there.
While He Yuzhu's wife was still there, Lou Xiao'e came to her door to steal her husband, saying that it was unreasonable to break the law.
Of course, if you insist on saying that Lou Xiao'e and He Yuzhu are in love, then that's it. But this may be true for He Yuzhu, but it may not be true for Lou Xiao'e.
When Cao Zhiqiang was watching TV series in his previous life, he didn't watch the episode about Lou Xiao'e carefully and forgot some parts. However, this time when he got deeper into it, especially after hearing He Yuzhu's statement, Cao Zhiqiang understood everything.
It turned out that Lou Xiao'e had been to the capital several times before coming back to snatch Sha Zhu. However, Lou Xiao'e had not divorced her husband in Hong Kong at that time, so she did not come to look for Sha Zhu.
But in Lou Xiao'e's words, it became that she didn't dare to see Silly Zhu.
In other words, Lou Xiao'e thought of coming over to grab the stupid pillar because she divorced her husband and became a different person again. She was lonely and cold, and the reason for the divorce was that her husband had someone else.
What does this mean? This shows that Lou Xiao'e didn't come here because she had always been in love with He Yuzhu, but she was single after the divorce, and then she remembered He Yuzhu as a spare tire.
Come to He Yuzhu to reunite with your old dream. Not only can you solve your single problem, but you can also take back a priceless ancestral jade bracelet. How great.
Although He Yuzhu said that when Lou Xiaoe got married, He Yuzhu was always in her heart, but this is nothing more.
What does it mean if you are married to someone and living your life while always thinking about other men?
It's no wonder that people are looking for mistresses. Living with a woman who doesn't love him and who always thinks about other men is something ordinary men can't bear.
It can be said that in Cao Zhiqiang's view, although Qin Huairu is bad, he is clearly bad and the bad is obvious.
But Lou Xiao'e's evil lies in the dark.
At first glance, there is nothing wrong with Lou Xiao'e, and I even feel a little pity for her, thinking that she is a licking dog who cannot be courted, and even foolishly paid for her own money to support a group of white-eyed wolves in the courtyard.
But in fact, Lou Xiao'e is not pitiful or stupid at all.
In Cao Zhiqiang's view, Lou Xiao'e is indeed interested and has love for He Yuzhu, but this love is not serious, at least compared to her selfishness, it is nothing.
From the beginning to the end, everything between Lou Xiao'e and He Yuzhu is 70% selfish and 30% love.
First of all, when Lou Xiao'e and He Yuzhu were together, their motives were not pure.
I remember back then, when Lou Xiaoe was unilaterally divorced by Xu Damao, who kicked Lou Xiaoe out in public, and even led people to ransack her home. Lou Xiaoe was helpless and had no friends, so she had no choice but to seek refuge with the deaf old lady.
As for the deaf old lady, for the purpose of providing for her elderly, she kept trying to bring together Lou Xiao'e and He Yuzhu who were in trouble.
At that time, Lou Xiao'e had no choice but to rely on He Yuzhu. After discovering that He Yuzhu knew the big boss and saved her family, she completely fell in love with He Yuzhu.
It cannot be said that they do not have love, but this love is not pure, it is more about interests, or in other words, it is more about using each other.
It's just that in this mutual use, Lou Xiao'e used He Yuzhu more, rather than the other way around.
Cao Zhiqiang remembers that in the TV series, before Lou Xiao'e divorced Xu Damao, she didn't have a good feeling towards He Yuzhu and didn't think highly of He Yuzhu. However, Lou Xiao'e had just separated from Xu Damao not long ago, and she was like He Yuzhu. To say this Is it because of love? Normally, is this reasonable?
If there is a relationship of interest, then this is reasonable.
If Lou Xiao'e really loves He Yuzhu, she should not leave He Yuzhu, but stay.
Although there is a reality in the plot on TV, Lou Xiao'e left silently by herself because of Xu Damao's threat and in order not to implicate He Yuzhu, but in fact this cannot withstand scrutiny at all.
The reason is very simple. What happened to Lou Xiao'e back then was because of her family's status, but He Yuzhu was different. He had a good reputation, knew the big bosses, had high prestige in the factory, and was not afraid of Xu Damao at all.
If Lou Xiao'e had told He Yuzhu about Xu Damao's threat to her, He Yuzhu would have had many ways to deal with Xu Damao.
After all, in that era, savagery was the most reliable, and one of He Yuzhu's strengths was that he liked to act recklessly and was particularly good at fighting. This was exactly what Xu Damao couldn't deal with.
Just kidding, not even the security section chief in the factory can deal with He Yuzhu, let alone Xu Damao.
Therefore, if Lou Xiao'e really wanted to stay and live with He Yuzhu back then, she had many options, but she chose the most ruthless way to leave without saying goodbye.
Although Lou Xiao'e left a family heirloom jade bracelet, which seems to be sentimental and meaningful, in fact, if you think about it carefully, it is just multiple insurance policies.
After all, when the family went to Hong Kong, no one knew what would happen in the future, let alone what would happen on the road.
Therefore, Lou Xiao'e entrusting her mother's valuables to He Yuzhu for safekeeping is actually a hedging behavior, which is the same as not putting eggs in one basket.
In order to make He Yuzhu a good steward of wealth, Lou Xiao'e met He Yuzhu Jin Feng Yulu before leaving, and slept with He Yuzhu. It seemed that there was no tenderness, but in fact, this was not the way to control He Yuzhu.
Maybe Lou Xiao'e didn't think too much when she did this. She didn't do it in a planned way, but subconsciously, but this just shows her selfishness in her heart. This is completely different from Qin Huairu's planned eating and drinking. different.
Later, after Lou Xiaoe went to Hong Kong, she remarried not long after giving birth to her child. What was the purpose? It was not to live a good life.
As for why she has always been in love with He Yuzhu, this is what she said. Who knows whether it is true or not?
If Lou Xiao'e really loves Shazhu and really has Shazhu in her heart, why didn't she come earlier?
It would be fine if they were afraid that the domestic situation would not change, but after 1979, the country opened up, and Hong Kong compatriots were especially welcome to visit relatives in the mainland. Why didn't Lou Xiao'e come to see He Yuzhu at that time?
By the way, Lou Xiao'e has been here a long time ago, and she comes every year, many times, but she never came to see He Yuzhu once, and she never brought her son over to let them recognize each other as father and son.
You have been to China so many times, but you have to wait until now to bring your son to the house and meet He Yuzhu. Why is this?
Lou Xiao'e could say that she was afraid because many people in the courtyard had hurt her, so she didn't dare to go, but Cao Zhiqiang didn't believe it at all.
Lou Xiao'e has experienced so many storms and waves, and now the king has returned. Will she be afraid of the people in the courtyard? What's going on?
Combined with Lou Xiao'e's life trajectory, there is only one truth, that is, Lou Xiao'e was not divorced before and did not come alone, so she did not dare to come see He Yuzhu.
In other words, Lou Xiaoe did come back several times after the change, but the purpose of her return was not because He Yuzhu was here, but because this was the capital, so she wanted to come here to look for investment opportunities.
Cao Zhiqiang also asked someone to find out that Lou Xiaoe's ex-husband in Hong Kong was originally a businessman in the import and export business, and Lou Xiaoe helped him in this import and export business.
After Lou Xiaoe went to Hong Kong that year, because she gave birth to a child, she could not marry a big boss. Instead, she married a man from an average family who also fled to Hong Kong.
After marrying that man, because she was familiar with the mainland and had a certain amount of funds, Lou Xiaoe started a grain business with that man, mainly importing grain from the mainland to Xiangjiang.
Even before the reform, Xiangjiang did not cut off its transactions with the mainland, but many transactions were not made public.
Otherwise, why Hong Kong has become one of the Four Asian Tigers is because it relies on the mainland.
In other words, before the reform, there had been continuous transactions between the mainland and Hong Kong, but most people couldn't find the way.
Before the reopening, transactions between the mainland and Hong Kong were actually very profitable. After all, this was the only port of exchange with the West.
Lou Xiaoe and her husband relied on this outlet to slowly develop.
Later, after the reform, this import and export business encountered difficulties, mainly because there were too many competitors.
That's why Lou Xiao'e and her ex-husband came to the mainland to investigate and look for business opportunities.
It's just that they have differences in the specific business direction.
Lou Xiaoe wants to continue doing import and export business, take the opportunity to delve deeper into the mainland, and focus on the mainland.
But Lou Xiaoe's husband wants to do real estate in Hong Kong. After all, Hong Kong real estate is very hot now.
Then, during the recent period, Lou Xiaoe found out that her husband had a mistress and even a child. Naturally, this could only lead to divorce.
After the divorce, the company belonged to Lou Xiaoe's ex-husband, and Lou Xiaoe only received the corresponding money.
That's why Lou Xiao'e made up her mind and wanted to invest in the mainland.
It is precisely because of this that Lou Xiao'e brought her son over and formally recognized He Yuzhu.
Because now it is no longer a problem for his son to recognize He Yuzhu, and he can also be tied to He Yuzhu.
Lou Xiao'e has been up and down for so many years and has not seen through anything. She probably has no confidence in ordinary men anymore.
On the contrary, people like He Yuzhu look very safe and are reassuring to have around them.
Moreover, He Yuzhu also has a relationship with a big leader. As long as he gets along well with He Yuzhu, he will naturally have a relationship with a big leader.
Although the big leader has retired now, his connections are still there.
With the big leader's connections, Lou Xiao'e's money, and He Yuzhu's cooking skills, if he invests in opening a restaurant, the income will definitely not be bad.
In fact, investing in restaurants is definitely a popular business these days. Basically, those who open restaurants at this time are making a lot of money.
Lou Xiao'e obviously also meant this.
Therefore, when Lou Xiao'e came back to meet He Yuzhu this time, there was affection, but it was not the main thing. The main thing was interests.
Why did Lou Xiaoe want to go back in anger? She said she was hurt by He Yuzhu's choice, but in fact the most fundamental reason was that He Yuzhu didn't follow her, and there was nothing good she could gain by staying.
Without He Yuzhu, how could the leader help Lou Xiaoe, a Hong Konger, to open a way in the mainland.
But in the mainland at this time, without the protection of senior officials, nothing could be done big or strong.
Not only Lou Xiao'e can see this clearly, Cao Zhiqiang understands it deeply.
Why is Cao Zhiqiang so popular now? Is it really because of his talent?
There is talent, but the most important thing is that he has a backer and a big leader to hold him back.
Without a big leader to hold him back, Factory Director Li would have dealt with him long ago, not to mention others.
So in this era, being able to make money is secondary, and the most important thing is being able to keep money.
Fortunately, Cao Zhiqiang already has several thighs, not just Uncle Xu's.
His biggest thigh now has been replaced by a thicker one, Uncle Lin's.
Uncle Lin is a high-ranking official in office, and he has direct access to the sky. With him as a big help, at least as far as the current situation in the country is concerned, it can be said to be extremely stable.
This is much more awesome than Uncle Xu who has retired.
However, this line cannot be stated clearly and must be kept secret, so many people still think that Cao Zhiqiang's backstage is Uncle Xu, the one who has become a friend with He Yuzhu for many years.
All in all, in the eyes of others, Lou Xiao'e may be a really pitiable good woman. Cao Zhiqiang also thought so in the past.
But after traveling here and experiencing a lot, Cao Zhiqiang would not think so when he looked at Lou Xiao'e again.
In Cao Zhiqiang's eyes, Lou Xiao'e is a selfish green tea girl, more selfish and bad than Qin Huairu.
If what Qin Huairu did was mostly for the sake of his children, then what Lou Xiao'e did was mostly for herself.
This is not to say that Cao Zhiqiang thinks Qin Huairu is a good person, but that he thinks Lou Xiao'e's bad deeds are more hidden than Qin Huairu's.
So the question is, since he knows Lou Xiao'e is a bad person, why does Cao Zhiqiang still help her?
The answer is simple, there are benefits to helping Lou Xiaoe.
They are all bad women, but women are different from women.
Qin Huairu is now an ordinary female worker with a low income and little ability. If she helps her, the most she can get is a word of gratitude.
But Lou Xiao'e is different.
Lou Xiao'e is now a rich woman with divorce funds. If she helps her, the benefits she can get are naturally beyond what an ordinary female worker can compare with.
Although Cao Zhiqiang does not have to seek Lou Xiao'e now, it is always good to have multiple channels, and he may be able to use them.
Especially if Cao Zhiqiang wants to develop in Xiangjiang in the future, it will be more reasonable and reasonable to go through Lou Xiao'e.
On the other hand, Uncle Lin's side, although he has a lot of energy, is also subject to many restrictions and has many people staring at him.
If I went to Xiangjiang through Uncle Lin's arrangement, there would be some traces, which would not be a good thing.
Now that he has made up his mind to be an underground agent and a lone brave man serving the country and the people, it is natural that less people know his true identity.
Besides, if Cao Zhiqiang doesn't tell Lou Xiao'e the method of soft grinding now, wouldn't Lou Xiao'e think of it?
Not really.
Cao Zhiqiang remembered that when he was watching TV series in his previous life, Lou Xiao'e left, but came back within two years, and secretly invested in Sha Zhu and opened a restaurant with him in the name of partnership.
The purpose of Lou Xiao'e's return was to tie up Sha Zhu by opening a restaurant, and then slowly cook him up, hoping to use this method to pry He Yuzhu away.
Since Cao Zhiqiang didn't say anything, Lou Xiao'e would figure it out sooner or later and would use this trick sooner or later, so he might as well say it out early and let Lou Xiao'e understand it early. This would be good for everyone.
Anyway, in Cao Zhiqiang's view, Lou Xiao'e couldn't defeat He Yuzhu, or deal with Qin Huairu, no matter how softly or hard he was, so why didn't he take action?
If we take action now, at least we can get Lou Xiao'e's gratitude and trust, which is enough.
Thinking of this, Cao Zhiqiang smiled slightly: "Aunt Lou, why don't you talk? What do you think of my method? Are you interested? If you are interested, we can find a time and place to sit down and talk in detail."
Upon hearing this, Lou Xiao'e took a deep breath and said calmly: "I booked a flight for tomorrow morning... Well, come to my place at six o'clock tomorrow morning, and we can meet and talk in detail, if you can convince me. , I, I won’t leave this time.”
"Okay, it's a deal!" Cao Zhiqiang said, "I'll visit on time tomorrow morning!"
