Chapter 26 The Gao Family and the Yang Family
Because Yang Chaohui talked less and less, the atmosphere during the meal gradually changed. Fortunately, Master Nie met to smooth things over and told a few jokes, which made Yang Chaohui happy. It was not that cold when the banquet ended.
Lu Zheng asked Huzi to take Master Nie home, but he went to Da Lao Li and asked about Mrs. Zhao. Mrs. Li said that Mrs. Zhao didn't come in the morning, but came in the afternoon and looked sick. Mrs. Li told her that she would not pay for it in the future. She would come to Hotpot City in two days and would help her settle the payment.
Lao Li said that when he said this, Mrs. Zhao cried at that time, and said that she would meet Director Lu to explain. Seeing that she was pitiful, Mrs. Li asked her to come over tonight. He thought that the old company commander had a dinner in the hot pot city, so he made an appointment with Mrs. Zhao at 10 o'clock in the evening.
Lu Zheng nodded after hearing this and said nothing.
When I got home, I watched TV for a while. When the quartz clock on the wall sounded pleasant music, the doorbell also rang. It was neither early nor late, and it was just twenty-two o'clock.
Lu Zheng couldn't help but feel good about Mrs. Zhao. I thought I had just come and I must have come a while ago and waited outside for a while. Although the spring is warm and flowers are blooming now, there is still spring cold at night. If you wear thin clothes, you may feel cold if you stand outside for a long time.
Lu Zheng hurriedly opened the door, but he didn't look out from the cat's eyes, so he opened the door. Then he was stunned. Two women stood outside the door, one of whom was Zhao Dasao, and the other was a light green dress, gentle and sexy, just Cui Ying, who had just broken up with her.
Lu Zheng was stunned for a moment, and never expected that the two of them would meet. Cui Ying was obviously stunned when she saw Lu Zheng.
"Come in, come in." Lu Zheng made way and said, "Don't change your shoes, go in."
After leading the two into the living room to sit down, Lu Zheng looked at Cui Ying in confusion and asked, "Xiao Cui, do you know Sister Zhao?"
"She, she is my cousin." Cui Ying's pretty face looked very unnatural. She probably didn't expect that her cousin's employer was actually a colleague of her lover in the unit. When she looked at the magnificent living room, she was even more surprised and expressed her sincere praise: "Director Lu, your family is so big."
Lu Zheng smiled and said, "There is no choice, my family is a capitalist." He looked at Mrs. Zhao and said, "Sister Zhao, since Xiao Cui is your cousin, we are not outsiders, but you also know that the money I offer you is higher than the nanny and the food and accommodation fee of the housekeeper, but you are just working for the hourly work, one or two hours a day. If this cannot be guaranteed, then I can't do it."
Cui Ying said anxiously: "My cousin was sick yesterday, I can testify that I took her to the hospital last night." She heard her cousin say that the newly found job was very generous, and she also felt that her cousin was really happy, but she had never heard her cousin talk about the employer in detail. First, it seemed that the employer asked her to keep it secret; second, now I look, I am afraid that my cousin really doesn't know who Director Lu is.
Now that she is helping her cousin ask for help, Cui Ying feels embarrassed, as if she has fallen into Chaohui.
After hearing this, Lu Zheng couldn't help feeling helpless and said, "Sister Zhao didn't come yesterday morning. You can take her to the hospital tonight, this..."
"Director Lu, you don't know. My cousin's family is in great difficulty. She is sick and doesn't even have anyone around..." When Cui Ying was about to continue, Mrs. Zhao pulled her clothes and said, "Xiaoying, you don't know some things..."
Cui Ying was stunned and asked, "What's the matter?"
Mrs. Zhao sighed and looked at Lu Zheng with a very complicated expression on her face, "You, have you recognized me, so you are not going to use me again?"
Lu Zheng was slightly stunned and said, "What?"
Mrs. Zhao was a little ashamed, stared at a point on the coffee table and said, "Actually, Zhikai and I have passed away long ago. I have been remarried for several years. I have nothing to do with him now."
Lu Zheng was stunned, Zhikai? Is Gao Zhikai?
I immediately remembered that Zhao Dasao's name was Zhao Hongxia, and she looked at Zhao Dasao carefully. She looked at Zhao Dasao's face with a familiar outline, vaguely, as if she had an impression of the past, but Zhao Hongxia? No, seeing that Zhao Dasao's hair and temples were gray, if she didn't say it, she would think that she would be Gao Zhikai's ex-wife in her forties and fifties?
The one who impressed Gao Zhikai's ex-wife Zhao Hongxia the most was when she was the deputy political commissar of Guangning County Bureau. Gao Zhikai was proud at that time. Once, when he met the couple at the gate of the county bureau, Zhao Hongxia curled her lips and said "virtue", which was about herself. In my impression, Zhao Hongxia was a very tricky woman. Although she was not very beautiful, she was also a mediocre person. However, no matter how she looked, she could not relate to the old woman in front of her and Gao Zhikai's ex-wife Zhao Hongxia?
"Are you Zhikai's ex-wife? Zhao Hongxia from Guangning?" Lu Zheng's shock was beyond words.
Mrs. Zhao smiled bitterly and said, "It turns out that you really can't recognize me, but I recognized you the first time I met. I just didn't dare to mention the past, for fear that you won't need me."
Lu Zheng didn't know what to say for a long time, but after a while, he gradually accepted this reality and asked, "Why are you here in the provincial capital?"
Mrs. Zhao sighed: "I remarried a few years ago. My family introduced me to the provincial capital. My household registration was moved here..." As she said that, her eyes turned red.
Cui Ying also sighed and said, "My sister's life is very hard. Last year, my brother-in-law went to the coal mine and died in an accident. Now she is pulling the twin sons left by her brother-in-law. She gets up early and goes to bed late every day and makes money. She gets tired and gets sick. But she grits her teeth and holds up. Isn't that yesterday? She has a high fever and is lying in a daze for a day but no one knows it. It's when I saw her going to see her at night, so I quickly took her to the hospital. The doctor said, "It's very dangerous. Fortunately, I discovered it, but the consequences are unimaginable."
Lu Zheng looked at Zhao Hongxia and said, "Then you are healthy now, are you?"
Zhao Hongxia hurriedly said, "It's okay, it's okay, I'll start work tomorrow. Also, I'm not sympathizing with you, I've agreed to my children's grandparents to send them back to them and I'll give them living expenses every month so that I can relax and I will ensure that I won't miss your work in the future."
Cui Ying's lips moved, but she still didn't say anything in the end. Now my cousin can shake when the wind blows. The doctor said that she must have a good rest for a few days, but in order to keep the job, my cousin can only say this. After all, I have only found this job that has a high salary and does not take up much time. I will breathe a sigh of relief. I don't have to work as tired as before, and I have to live as I used to be. I am really afraid that my cousin will get tuberculosis.
Lu Zheng looked at Zhao Hongxia's pale face and said, "It's okay, you'd better take a good rest for a few days."
Zhao Hongxia's face turned paler and she lowered her head in despair, thinking that Lu Zheng was not going to use her anymore.
Lu Zheng said: "In this way, you go home and rest for a week, and start work after a week. The treatment and working hours are the same as in the past."
Zhao Hongxia was stunned, then overjoyed and said, "You, did you use me? Thank you, thank you." She stood up and wanted to bow to Lu Zheng, but where was the shadow of the former director's wife?
Lu Zheng waved his hand and said, "All old friends, don't be polite. Zhikai and I used to have a little conflict at work, but it was not as evil as you thought. Although you have nothing to do with Zhikai, according to Zhikai, I will definitely help you. Besides, your housework is really good, which saves me a lot of worry."
Zhao Hongxia said thank you repeatedly, then looked at the coffee table and said, "I'll wash the fruit for you."
Lu Zheng said that you are sitting on your seat, today is a guest, so you don’t have to be busy. But Zhao Hongxia still walked towards the kitchen quickly.
Cui Ying asked curiously: "Director Lu, it turns out that you know Brother Gao too?"
Lu Zheng smiled and said, "You understand everything about the past colleagues and the unit, and it's over."
Cui Ying smiled and said, "Yes, I used to think that Brother Gao was a little bit slim, but..." She sighed, thinking of Gao Zhikai's current situation.
Lu Zheng asked, "Are you very familiar with Gao Zhikai?"
Cui Ying smiled and said, "My former cousin-law, can I not be familiar with me? I was still in school at that time, and he took good care of me. Later, he divorced my cousin and had contact with me. I want to say that it is because of him that Chaohui and I can meet." Then he stood up and said, "I'll help my cousin's hand." I thought it was because of my cousin who was worried about living in the kitchen.
Cui Ying took two steps, turned around, hesitated, and whispered: "By the way, Director Lu, can you help me? Don't tell Chaohui about my cousin and I always walk around. Because my cousin and Brother Gao divorced, Chaohui had a very bad impression of my cousin, so he got angry when he mentioned it."
Lu Zheng nodded slightly and said, "Don't worry."
Cui Ying felt relieved and whispered: "Thank you." Then, she walked towards the kitchen with light steps.
Lu Zheng lit a cigarette and thought that the relationship between these people was really complicated, but it is conceivable that Cui Ying did not know that her actual relationship with Yang Chaohui was very bad. First, she was newlywed; second, Yang Chaohui's temperament, I think she would not tell her about the company.
Zhao Hongxia washed a plate of mangoes and brought them up. Lu Zheng greeted her and Cui Ying to eat. Zhao Hongxia said, "Where is that possible? You eat yours, Xiaoying, you eat it too. I will buy two pounds to make up for it." He also said, "This is called mango, right? Where did you buy it?"
Lu Zheng smiled and said, "You are all guests today, so eat. It doesn't matter. Sister Zhao, just treat it as a gift from Xiao Cui. Is it okay? Don't make me treat you like a landlord and old money."
The hard work of these years has made Zhao Hongxia's arrogance disappear at that time. She sighed and said, "Director Lu, you are really good, much better than Zhikai." When she said this, she felt a little bitter in her heart.
Lu Zheng waved his hand and said, "I won't talk about this." He said to Cui Ying, "Pick a cousin to try it out. It's not easy to buy fruit from the south here."
Cui Ying said: "Yes, I just said it. My cousin said he would buy two pounds. I thought there was a place to buy it. Last year, I went to the south for a business trip and ate it once. Otherwise, I had never seen it before. Director Lu, at your house, there are so many treasures, and I have seen the world."
Lu Zheng laughed, picked up one by himself, peeled it, and sucked it slowly. It was true that it was different from the fruits that were picked in later generations to transport greens. The refreshing sweetness was so sweet that it was so sweet that people could feel.
Cui Ying and Zhao Hongxia also praised them and kept saying sweetness.
After chatting for a few casual words, Cui Ying and Zhao Hongxia winked at each other and said goodbye. When Lu Zheng was sending them away, Cui Ying suddenly asked: "Director Lu, are you familiar with Mayor Liu Shoucheng and Liu from Wushan?
Lu Zheng nodded slightly and said, "What's wrong?"
Cui Ying's face was very unnatural, and hesitated for a while, then said in a panic: "It's okay, I'll ask casually."
Lu Zheng didn't say anything else. When he remembered that he had Liu Shoucheng having dinner with him for the first time when he met Cui Ying, it seemed that something was wrong between the two, but what was going on?
When I went to work the next day, I saw Yang Chaohui, but I saw that Yang Chaohui didn't show anything. I thought he was completely unaware of what happened last night. Cui Yingshen went home in the middle of the night, so he must have found a good excuse.
In the afternoon, Lu Zheng went to the Peace Auditorium (the auditorium of the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government) to attend the provincial mobilization meeting for cleaning up and rectifying social groups held by the provincial government. At the meeting, it was proposed to clean up and rectify more than 10,000 existing social groups in the province, and legally issued the "Hedong Province Social Group Registration Certificate" by the civil affairs department.
Obviously, the aftermath of the struggle against liberalization has not subsided, and too many social groups is also a tendency for liberalization.
Lu Zheng noticed that when he entered the venue, he looked at him many times. Obviously, in the eyes of many people, he was very terrifying, just like the executioner in the officialdom of Jidong, his hands were stained with the blood of his colleagues.
Even after sitting down, no one came to sit next to him. Obviously, many people were afraid of having anything to do with them.
The entire meeting was basically Governor Xu was speaking, Lu Zheng listened silently in the audience and took notes silently
When the meeting ended, Lu Zheng had just walked out of the auditorium when he heard someone shouting behind him: "Director Lu, Director Lu." He stopped and turned around. Behind him was a fat middle-aged man Yu, former deputy secretary-general of the provincial party committee and director of the Beijing Office Gu Yanda.
Two of the three companies in the Provincial Office in Beijing were laid off. The retained companies were decoupled from the office and then handed over to the Provincial Economic and Trade Commission for management. During the rectification office, Lu Zheng had dealt with Director Gu during the review.
However, just a few days ago, Gu Yanda stepped down as director of the Beijing Office and transferred to Mayor of Wuxiang City, and established a team with Feng Lianying.
Lu Zheng shook hands with Gu Yanda with a smile and said, "Mayor Gu has just taken up his new position and is coming to the provincial capital for a meeting. The journey is long, so it's really hard."
Gu Yanda smiled and said, "No matter how hard you work, you are not as hard as Director Lu. Ordinary people can't control the work of rectification, and only Director Lu can save the venue." As he said, pointing to the busy street opposite the street, there was a teahouse. Gu Yanda said, "It's better to meet someone by chance than to invite him. Director Lu, let's have a cup of tea?"
Feng Lianying is prosperous in Wuxiang, and has attracted a lot of investment. The old city of Wuxiang was demolished, which has greatly changed and has almost become a brand new city. Although Wuxiang is now under great financial pressure, Wuxiang citizens also jokingly called Feng Lianying a "burning Lianying", but the changes in Wuxiang are all seen by the changes in Wuxiang. From the perspective of the province, they also recognize Feng Lianying's achievements.
Gu Yanda inquired about some of the investments brought by Feng Lianying are related to Lu Zheng. Now he wants to go to Wuxiang to build a team with Feng Lianying, so there is no harm in getting along with Lu Zheng. Moreover, Lu Zheng has served as the vice chairman of Changming Group for many years and is established in the new Silicon Valley zone built on Wushan as a base in Hebei. It is conceivable that Lu Zheng's economic influence can be ruled. If he wants to rule Wuxiang, a neighbor of Wushan, it is impossible not to make a fuss about his advantage of relying on the new Silicon Valley zone.
When Gu Yanda invited him, Lu Zheng also readily agreed. The two of them came to the second floor of the teahouse, sat in the private room by the window, ordered a pot of Tieguanyin, and waited for the waiter to serve tea. Gu Yanda smiled and said, "Talk to say that we are the provincial capital, but it is far from Wushan, just say drink tea. The teahouses in Renwushan now pay attention to tea art. There are tea artists next to them. When we chat, the tea water will be poured in small cups."
Lu Zheng smiled and said, "Is that true? I haven't really visited Wushan in the past two years. I've been there a few times, and I've also been a quick look."
Gu Yanda smiled and said, "You should check it out."
Lu Zheng picked up the tea cup and slowly tasted the tea.
Gu Yanda said again: "It's not good at all. The tea artists in Wushan are all pretty girls wearing red cheongsams. How can I say that? I feel a little unserious, but it is really pleasing to the eye and attracts young people." As he said that, he looked at Lu Zheng's expression and asked: "By the way, Director Lu, you are not on duty in Changming Group now, right?"
Lu Zheng smiled and said, "I won't die anymore." Speaking of Changming Group, there were some troubles. After Changming Group developed, the upper-level leaders always wanted to nationalize it, especially the Changming Group's laboratory was moved to China before the Sino-Western dispute. There were very few technicians, but it really tasted like a native Chinese enterprise. In addition, the news that Changming Group's actual controller was Iris was leaked a while ago. Some elderly people in the party were entrusted by the bosses to come forward to their fathers.
When I communicated with my grandfather, I hoped to nationalize Changming Group. The initial suggestion was that the state would invest funds to buy 40% of the group's shares in Iris' hands. In this way, Iris Holdings 30% of the state-owned assets were 70% of the shares, realizing state-owned shares. As for Iris' 30% of the shares, it can be used as shareholder income, which is similar to financing for military enterprises. From then on, the decision-making power and confidential departments are in the hands of the state, and foreign funds are only dividends.
Lu Zheng could understand the above idea. When the Wushan area gradually developed as China's Silicon Valley and when Changming Group became a domestic monopoly computer group, if the company is still controlled by foreign elite groups, there are obviously great hidden dangers, and the military will not be able to use the products it produces with confidence.
If this company is really a Sino-German joint venture, then the country can only learn from its technology and independently develop it, but there is no airtight wall in the world. But this joint venture is not considered a Sino-foreign joint venture. It turns out that the major shareholder of the foreign investor married a wife from China, and I heard that this part of the shares was originally owned by a Chinese husband. This seems to be simple. It is the best choice to nationalize it with emotion and reason.
Lu Zheng understands these ideas and does not oppose the nationalization of Changming Group. Now the executives of Changming Group and foreigners still occupy the vast majority, it does make people feel that this company is not from China. However, if it is really nationalized according to the above ideas, then the vigorous development momentum of Changming Group can only be reflected in the domestic market. In the international market and product updates, it will gradually lose its competitiveness and be completely excluded from the international market. The subsequent technological blockade is almost inevitable. Changming Group will be slowly brought back to its original form. What can domestic computer companies develop to the peak?
So now, in the development of Changming Group, we are really in a dilemma, so we can only temporarily delay and slowly come up with a solution to both sides.
Thinking of these things, Lu Zheng couldn't help but shake his head.
But Gu Yanda was a bit misunderstood and said, "If you don't have sex, don't have sex. Anyway, I heard that Director Lu has always had a strong influence in Changming Group."
Lu Zheng could only smile.
Chapter completed!
