After He Yuzhu and Lou Xiao'e took a tricycle and arrived at the Peace Hotel where Lou Xiao'e was staying, they immediately went straight to the restaurant, asked for a private room, ordered a table of dishes, and specially ordered imported red wine.
Originally, He Yuzhu didn't want to drink, but he couldn't stand Lou Xiao'e's excitement. Besides, he was really curious about this imported red wine, so he agreed to drink some with Lou Xiao'e.
After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Lou Xiao'e touched the wine glass with only the remaining wine left on her cheeks and said with a nostalgic look on her face: "Silly Zhu, do you still remember the first time we drank?"
He Yuzhu, who was eating with chopsticks, was stunned. He put down his chopsticks and looked at Lou Xiao'e with a heavy expression: "Remember, why don't you remember? You were drunk that day."
Lou Xiao'e smiled slightly, then sighed: "Actually, my drinking capacity is not that bad. I got drunk that time because I was drunk."
He Yuzhu, who had just picked up the chopsticks, stopped and turned his head to look at Lou Xiao'e.
Lou Xiao'e continued to look at the red wine glass and said: "Silly Zhu, this person has walked through the world, do you know what is the most difficult?"
He Yuzhu shook his head and said he was unclear.
Lou Xiao'e looked at He Yuzhu, and then said with a sigh: "As a woman, it is the most difficult to meet a good man in this life! As a man, it is the most difficult to have a successful career in this life!"
The day my son left, I was really angry. I really thought about going back to Hong Kong immediately. I booked a flight and even made a phone call to go home.
Do you know what my parents said about me when I called back and said I was going back to Hong Kong immediately? "
He Yuzhu shook his head again, indicating that he was unclear.
Lou Xiao'e smiled slightly: "My parents were trying to persuade me on the phone, advising me to calm down my temper, change my personality, stay and talk to you, and don't be in such a hurry to go back.
But I know myself and my character cannot be changed.
You know, I am very serious about everything I do. I will do something when I am sure about it, and I don’t like to listen to other people’s advice. "
He Yuzhu thought for a while and nodded: "It's true. But I am the same. I am stubborn and will not be accommodating. This may be because my nature is hard to change."
Lou Xiao'e smiled: "But you did a good job this time. You also knew that I was angry, and you also knew that I wouldn't listen if you came to me. Instead, you went to Cao Zhiqiang to talk to me.
You have become smarter now and know who to look for to keep me here. "
Speaking of this, Lou Xiao'e held her chin in her hands and looked at He Yuzhu with drunken eyes: "Hey, silly Zhu, how on earth did you think of asking Cao Zhiqiang to persuade me? How do you know that he can persuade me?"
He Yuzhu smiled softly, then shook his head and said: "I don't know if Cao Zhiqiang can persuade you, anyway, I don't want you to leave, but I don't know how to tell you.
I know that if I go to you, you will definitely be even more angry, so I can only find someone else.
But as for other people, you look down on most of the people in the yard, and most of them have issues with you.
But Cao Zhiqiang, I remember his mother, Sister Lin, I had a good relationship with you back then.
Moreover, this Cao Zhiqiang is now a capable person. It doesn’t matter if he is rich. The key is that he is talented. He is a great poet and can be considered a cultural person.
I remember that you like talented people, so if you ask Cao Zhiqiang to find you, you should be able to take a high look at him.
In addition, Cao Zhiqiang is still your junior and I have to call you aunt.
Let him talk to you, and you probably have to give him face no matter what, so that he can listen to you at least, and at least you won't turn him away.
Of course, I'm not sure.
It’s just that I thought about it again and again, and I really couldn’t think of anyone else, so I went to find Cao Zhiqiang, thinking that Quan was a dead horse and a living horse doctor. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be the case, haha. "
Lou Xiao'e smiled slightly: "You are indeed very smart, and the person you found this time is indeed good."
After turning her head and spitting out the breath of alcohol, Lou Xiao'e continued: "Actually, I have met Cao Zhiqiang before I brought my son to see you, and I have some impressions of him.
But at first, I didn't have a very good impression of him. I thought he was a very scheming person.
Why, because I knew very well that when he met me that time, he deliberately came to approach me and wanted something from me.
Although he concealed it very well at the time, I knew that he must have heard about me from somewhere before and thought that I was a rich man in Hong Kong, so he deliberately met with me and wanted to benefit from me. . "
"Really?" He Yuzhu was stunned, "Is there such a thing?"
loud Then I stopped paying attention to him.
After all, I see too many speculators like him these days, and I don’t want to deal with them.
But, after coming here this time, I learned a lot about him. Although I still think he is a scheming person, I have slightly changed my mind.
Cao Zhiqiang is indeed very scheming, but he is also very talented and capable. Such a person can do great things and is a person who does great things.
Therefore, although I still don't like him, I am willing to try to cooperate with him. "
He Yuzhu smiled: "What a coincidence, I see it that way too."
Speaking of this, He Yuzhu also sighed: "I don't know what Cao Zhiqiang told you before. Let me tell you my opinion. Do you want to hear it?"
"Of course I do." Lou Xiao'e smiled, "Tell me, what kind of person is he in your eyes?"
He Yuzhu put down his chopsticks and said with a look of reminiscence in his eyes: "How should I put it? I watched Cao Zhiqiang grow up. When he was very young, he was okay. He was white and cute. He should be a little older. I I don't like it very much, because this child is very naughty.
Later, when Cao Zhiqiang entered junior high school, his parents were not around, so his grandma took care of him. The child gradually learned to be a little crooked, and he even peeked at women taking a shower. "
"Ah?" Lou Xiao'e was stunned, "You peeked at women taking a shower in junior high school?"
"No!" He Yuzhu said, "First he peeped at the neighbor's aunt taking a bath, and then he peeped at Xiaodang and Sophora japonica taking a bath, but he didn't know much about it."
"Then how did you know?" Lou Xiao'e asked.
He Yuzhu chuckled: "That was one summer, when he was lying on the back wall and peeking at Qin Jingru taking a bath, I caught him, and then I gave him a good lesson.
After all, he was a child. Once he was frightened by me, he would say anything.
I thought he was just a child at the time, and since his parents were not around, I just wanted to scare him and tell him not to do this in the future. But who knew, when Huaihua grew up, one time when he was taking a shower at home, he even Dare to climb the wall and take a peek.
He was almost in his first year of high school when he peeked at Huaihua taking a bath. After I found out about that, I blocked him halfway, which was called a severe beating.
From then on, he didn't dare to do it anymore, but I heard that later he met a group of people from society. They didn't stay at home or go to school all day long, so they just hung out and became a second-rate person. "
"Is that so?" Lou Xiao'e was shocked.
"No." He Yuzhu picked up the wine glass and took a sip of wine before continuing, "After this kid learned bad things, I told the people in the yard, especially those with eldest daughters at home, to ignore him no matter what.
Not only that, I blocked him one more time and warned him in particular: It's okay to harm others if you want to. Go out and do harm, but don't harm the people in the yard. Otherwise, I will beat him every time I see him.
He also knew that he was afraid and knew that I could fight, so he would be honest when he was in the yard.
Originally, I thought this child was dead. Who would have thought that his mother passed away at the beginning of the year, and this child actually went to pray for death in the middle of the night. After his death wish failed, he suddenly seemed to have enlightened himself and became sensible all of a sudden. .
Not only did he cut ties with the bad guys on the street, he also went to his mother's factory and knelt down to the director, hoping to take his mother's place as a worker in the factory.
You know, originally Sister Lin asked him to join the factory as a worker to take up his father's quota, but he refused to go and looked down on workers at all.
As a result, he suddenly became honest that time and knew how to kneel down and beg for help. That's when he entered the Hongguang Machinery Factory and became a worker.
But if this is the case, it means that the child is sensible at most, which is good.
But who knew, not long after he worked in the factory, he began to submit articles and write poems everywhere, and he became famous for his writing and became a great poet.
For example, what's the name of that poem? Oh, by the way, the farthest distance in the world. He wrote it. It is said that when this poem came out, it became very popular and young people in the entire capital memorized it everywhere. "
"The furthest distance in the world, I know this poem." Lou Xiao'e smiled, "It is indeed very touching, but it doesn't seem like it could be written by a young person."
"I'm not sure about that." He Yuzhu smiled, "Anyway, since then, Cao Zhiqiang has become a young poet and made a lot of money by writing poems.
Later, the kid's former gang, because they were awesome... In short, his former gang of street kids somehow found out that he was rich, robbed him of his money along the way, and even stabbed him with a knife and hospitalized him. .
As a result, this child was stubborn and decisively called the police, asking the police to deal with the bad boys and arrest them all. He also took the opportunity to completely separate from the gang, and no longer had to worry about it, nor was he afraid of being accused by others of being a gangster in the past. Across the street. "
"Oh, that's it." Lou Xiao'e squinted her eyes and smiled slightly, "Then it seems that Cao Zhiqiang has a brush."
He Yuzhu shook his head: "Not only that, when I went to the hospital to visit him, he also... in turn asked me to introduce the big leader to him, saying that he wanted to know the big leader and have a backer.
I saw that he was pitiful at that time, so I agreed, but I explained that I would only introduce him to the big boss and leave the other things untouched, and I would never put in a good word for him in front of the big boss.
As a result, Cao Zhiqiang brought his guitar to meet the senior leader. After meeting him, without saying a few words, he sang a song and made the senior leader very happy.
Then, after much talk, Cao Zhiqiang actually wanted the big boss to help him set up a publishing house. He said he wanted to contract a publishing house and publish his own works, saying that he didn't want to sell his works at a low price.
I originally thought this was impossible, but I didn't expect that this kid Cao Zhiqiang could do it again.
In these three and two lanes, the Hongguang Factory where Cao Zhiqiang worked built the Hongguang Publishing House, and as soon as the brand was acquired, it was contracted to Cao Zhiqiang.
I don’t know exactly how they did it. Anyway, since then, Cao Zhiqiang has taken off. He is so powerful that he can’t help but not only publish books and records, but also gradually get to know many leaders, who have changed so much that I don’t recognize him anymore. "
Speaking of this, He Yuzhu sighed: "In short, this person has a bit of evil nature, I can't see through it, but fortunately he is good to the people in the yard, and he is indeed capable.
For example, the Shiweitian restaurant he opened has become so popular just a short time ago. This is what he is capable of! "
Lou Xiao'e smiled slightly: "It seems that you admire Cao Zhiqiang."
"I can't talk about admiration, let alone like it." He Yuzhu said, "I just feel that this is not an ordinary person, and he is different from people like us.
How should I put it? It seems that he is the kind of person who is born to be a big shot. What he lacks is just a little opportunity and epiphany.
There is a saying that says something about gold, a pond, and something that transforms into a dragon. It's just on the tip of your tongue and you can't tell it right away. "
"Golden scales are just things in the pond. They turn into dragons when encountering storms." Lou Xiao'e answered with a smile, "The story about Yue Quan's biography is about Yue Fei's general Yu Hualong."
"Oh, yes, yes, that's the sentence!" He Yuzhu nodded, "This Cao Zhiqiang is the golden scale that is not a thing in the pool!"
Lou Xiao'e pursed her lips and smiled: "Look, you keep talking about him, which shows that you still admire him in your heart."
"Really?" He Yuzhu was stunned, "Then let's forget it.
Anyway, I don't like Cao Zhiqiang's character very much, but he is indeed a capable person, which I admire. "
Lou Xiao'e shook her head, stared at He Yuzhu's face with a smile and said: "Okay, let's not talk about him anymore. No matter how capable he is, he is still someone else. Let's talk about ourselves."
He Yuzhu frowned, then turned his head and looked at the table full of food, avoiding eye contact with Lou Xiao'e: "We, we are all old acquaintances if we have anything to say."
Lou Xiao'e looked at He Yuzhu's side face and smiled, then sighed: "Silly Zhu, you still dare not look at me. Are you afraid of me? Or are you afraid of yourself?"
He Yuzhu pretended to be relaxed and picked up the chopsticks: "What am I afraid of? It's just that you always look at me like this, which makes me a little embarrassed."
Lou Xiao'e pursed her lips and smiled: "Is it because of Qin Huairu? Are you afraid that you will be tempted by me again or that you will regret her?"
He Yuzhu was stunned for a moment, then he laughed and started eating vegetables to cover up his embarrassment.
Lou Xiao'e smiled faintly, turned her head and looked at her cup again and said: "I know Qin Huairu is a good woman, and she is also very good to you. How good is she? It can be said that people in the courtyard just open their mouths. Tell her a lot of good things.
I can't, especially when I left without saying goodbye and didn't come back for more than ten years. This is a stain that I can't erase, and it is also the shadow and regret that always exists in my heart.
For more than ten years, Qin Huairu has been by your side, so in this regard, compared to Qin Huairu, I feel really ashamed.
In addition, I calmed down and thought about it carefully. When I came back this time, I wanted to get back together with you and start a family with you when I knew clearly that you and Qin Huairu were not separated. It was indeed my fault. , it is indeed my fault, I have no reason to lose my temper. "
