Chapter 1091: Shattering Illusions and Becoming a Immortal
"He's organizing a youth gathering, so let's organize a big brother gathering! I don't believe we can beat him!"
When the elder brother Jiaodaokou frowned, the younger brother Li Heping gave an idea.
There are more than three idle and naughty people sitting in the room now.
"Thank you for being able to figure it out!"
Yan Shengli glanced at Li Heping and said, "Do you think this or that meeting is ours? We can do it as we please. We have to have this!"
He stretched out his fingers and pinched them, reminding her: "You still want to make money without money? Who wants to play with you? That's it? Haha——"
"What's wrong with this place? The conditions here are not bad!" Li Heping said unconvincedly: "This used to be a club, it's just right!"
Yan Shengli was too lazy to pay attention to him. He looked at Zhang Jianguo who was frowning and said, "They have money to build connections. We are not in that business, so we don't need to get angry. It's Li Yuanchao's gang that are the problem."
He moved his eyebrows and observed Zhang Jianguo's expression, then he said: "Of course he is arrogant, but he has the capital to do so."
"What capital does he have? Just that broken motorcycle?" Li Heping curled his lips and said, "I'll give it to him tonight and see how he can show off!"
"Don't mess around. We are not Buddhas. Don't break the rules of the underworld."
Zhang Jianguo finally spoke. He took a puff of his cigarette and said, "I don't care about the motorcycle. I just think he's been making too much noise lately and seems to deserve a beating."
"It's just a show of respect, it's always like this." Li Kuiyong flicked the cigarette butt in his hand and said, "It's not worth it to compete with them."
"Am I competing with him?" Zhang Jianguo raised his eyebrows and said, "If I pull out his peg, then it should be my turn to pull out my share?"
"Fuck! Damn it!" Li Heping stood up and said, "I just can't stand people like this pretending to be cool. I've wanted to kill him for a long time."
His father was blind and blind-hearted at the time. Why did he give his son such a name, and what a fucking name! Heping!
He is the kind of guy who gets angry easily and is the most active fighter among their group.
Li Kuiyong belongs to the Hutong faction. He developed close relationships with these people through fighting, and that's why they got together to play together. They don't get together very often in normal times.
However, Zhang Jianguo is a man who likes to play games, so whenever there is a game, everyone will think of calling him.
Therefore, when the time comes, Zhang Jianguo will definitely take action without him saying anything.
He has practiced some boxing and martial arts since he was a child, and now he has become one of the toughest guys in Zhang Jianguo's group, the kind who dares to fight and doesn't talk much.
"How do you say that?"
Zhang Jianguo's power has also expanded recently, and his ambitions have also expanded. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Isn't that what they say?"
He shook his chin and said, "There's no rush for this matter. First, find out who Li Yuanchao is. After I take care of Li Sida, he will be my next target!"
"Jianguo, you should think about it carefully," Li Kuiyong advised him, "Li Yuanchao is different from Li Sida and others..."
"What's the difference? Does he have three heads and six arms?" Li Heping shouted, "I don't believe he won't bleed if I stab him with a knife!"
Hearing him say this, Zhang Jianguo looked at him unhappily again. Li Kuiyong stood up and said, "Okay! I've said too much. Let's say goodbye now, brother. We won't meet again in the future."
“Hey, Heping, how can you talk like that? Kuiyong is a brother. Are you having cramps?”
Zhang Jianguo suppressed Li Heping, stretched out his hand to hold Li Kuiyong and said, "Wang Dahai, you helped me that time at Dazhi Bridge, so I recognized you as my brother. We all got through this together. It's just a few idle words, don't take it to heart."
"I'm serious," Li Kuiyong looked at him and said, "You want to integrate Yaoyuan, Li Zhanyuan and others. This is our internal conflict. You can do whatever you want. That's just awesome!"
"But! If you touch Li Yuanchao, you will be confronting the veterans head-on."
He reminded: "To resist foreign aggression, you must first stabilize the country. By that time, the stubborn leader has not yet stabilized, and there will be foreign enemies. Can you really withstand the attack from both sides?"
"Don't call me, Li Kuiyong, a coward. I'm making this clear today!"
Li Kuiyong pointed his finger at the floor and said, "As long as you, Zhang Jianguo, have something to do, you don't need to say anything. I, Li Kuiyong, will definitely accompany you through fire and water."
"Hey! That's not necessary. We are not close friends." Zhang Jianguo put his hand on his shoulder and said, "Of course I trust you, otherwise I wouldn't say this in front of you, right?"
Being able to rise to the position of the leader of Xinjiekou, Zhang Jianguo naturally has some ability to win people's hearts and minds, and he has many brothers behind him.
Of course, these people sitting in the room are his main force. If he really wants to recruit people, he has to give him some time. When the time comes, it will not be a problem to recruit some people.
Nowadays, every family has three or five little brats who don't go to work and run around the alleys.
There are honest ones who either help out at home or find jobs on their own. They are called laonian or laobie by young people.
But as long as you have a little heroism and are young and passionate, you have to pay your respects to the big brother of the alley. If you need help when something happens, you can also ask for help from others to show off your power.
In fact, there are not so many bad guys in the alleys. It's just that the young people like the fun and are a little excited, so most of them are just playing around.
There were only a few troublemakers who actually started the fight. They usually stood in the front of the team and were the ones who started the fight.
If you wait for the Luo Luo behind you to take action, it will take a long time.
Readers who have experienced group fights as children know that no matter how many people are involved in the fight, the real collision only involves a few people.
How long can you fight?
If someone brags to you that he has been fighting for two hours, you just go up to him and slap him in the face. He will definitely not dare to fight back.
Fights are not counted by hours, and wars in ancient times were not counted by hours. Do you think kids need to set up formations when fighting?
Three minutes is considered long. You said I am a newcomer in the world and want to stand out. Okay, I will give you the position of the first shot, but you have to stand firm.
Why? Because you are facing not only punches from the opponent, but also punches from behind.
Someone asked, I am the first one to stand out and beat the other side, who dares to beat me later?
Even those people who call you their brothers don't actually want to beat you up, but their adrenaline is rushing and they want to punch you the instant their brains buzz.
They tried to squeeze forward, and when they couldn't get in, they just punched each other randomly. It was so chaotic that no one knew who was who.
So a fight is just a random punching. After the fight, I review the situation and find that I hit someone with my fists, I kicked someone, I got hit by an electric shock, and so on.
There are also times when I review the game and find that I got beaten by my own people. That’s when it’s fun.
So don't be afraid if you encounter a fight. Just focus on the people standing in front of you and attack quickly. It's over when you see blood.
As long as you stand, you will definitely be the winner, but if you fall, you are doomed, and you will be kicked countless times.
Otherwise, why would Zhang Jianguo hold on to Li Kuiyong so tightly and refuse to let go? This ruffian is very strong. As long as he stands next to him, he must be a living Dian Wei!
As long as the person in front doesn't fall down, the people behind will dare to rush forward. As long as there is someone who dares to rush forward, the game will be won.
What did Zhang Jianguo rely on to conquer Xinjiekou?
That means he must stand firm in a fight and refuse to fall down, even if he is hit on the head with a club.
"I'm thinking that once we take care of Li Sida, Dongsi will be our territory."
Zhang Jianguo patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's said that we should keep out of each other's way, but in fact, we will run into each other sooner or later. It's better to strike first!"
"My suggestion is to deal with the troublemakers first, then you can raise your arms and make a big noise, and then it will be done."
Li Kuiyong tilted his head and said, "Of course, I haven't been to school for many years, and I don't know how to make suggestions. This is just my idea."
"I understand, I understand, I understand what you mean, brother." Zhang Jianguo nodded and said, "I will think about how to deal with this matter."
"I have to say one more thing about the Dongfeng Club," Li Kuiyong reminded him, "You should still remember the little bastard, and how many people died last winter."
"Jiaodaokou, I won't go there."
Zhang Jianguo said with understanding: "I won't get involved with the club on Dongsishitiao. I know I can't beat Li Erba'er."
"No, I mean you can consider it." Li Kuiyong paused and said, "If the little bastard can make it, you Zhang Jianguo can do it too, and you may even do it better than him."
"Haha - brother, I understand. You want me to learn from Song Jiang, right?"
He waved his hand to stop Li Kuiyong from saying anything, and nodded, "I know the metaphor is a bit inappropriate, but this is the meaning."
"Listen to me, brother. The little bastard retired and went to Steel City. He told me personally about the vast world out there. I envy him."
"But! I still have a group of brothers here." Zhang Jianguo raised his eyebrows and said, "I am not a little bastard who will abandon my brothers and walk away."
He shook his head slightly and said, "He told me that it's impossible to take everyone away. It's not a nursing home over there. Everyone will be accepted. You still have to work hard. I just want to work hard at my doorstep. Do you understand?"
"I will definitely do those veterans!"
Zhang Jianguo said angrily: "There will be no one more powerful than me, Zhang Jianguo, in the city of Sijiu. No matter who comes, it will be useless!"
Li Kuiyong looked at him, sighed and nodded, "That's it. If you have anything, just give me a call and I, Li Kuiyong, will be there."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Zhang Jianguo stood there, watching the figure leaving the yard with a gloomy look on his face.
His ambition swelled when the momentum of the old soldiers was fading and the stubborn gangs were springing up like mushrooms after a rain. Now someone wants to shatter his dream. Do you think he will agree?
As Li Kuiyong was leaving, he was thinking that Zhang Jianguo used to be reckless but had some brains, but now his mind was full of wishful thinking.
Ambition can hollow out a person's IQ, stuff it with some shit, and make the person think about problems with shit, and the things he does will be as bad as shit.
Of course Li Kuiyong had to leave. If he didn't leave, it would be all debts that he could never pay off.
Helping the other person to fight is a way of repaying a favor, which will be reduced each time. As long as one day he feels that he has repaid the favor, he will no longer need to help.
When my mother was sick, it was the other party who paid for the medical expenses, and I must repay this favor.
But he can also see clearly that Zhang Jianguo is courting death. Now he even dares to compete secretly with the Dongfeng Club. Do you think he is looking for death?
I used to have a good relationship with the little bastard. When Zhao Laosi and others entered the mansion, they invited him, but he was rather stubborn and didn't want to be restricted, let alone serve the powerful.
It's a kind of pride unique to young people. Now I think about it, I really regret it.
Look at how carefree Zhao Laosi is every day, look at how the little bastard is fighting for his future in Steel City, they used to be brothers who used to hang out together on the streets, but now...
Now even if he is asked to go again, he would be too embarrassed to go. The better his brothers are doing, the less he dares to get close to them, as if he wants to take advantage of them, which he would never do.
But there is one thing he understood very clearly, the people in that mansion were not easy to mess with.
He didn't need anyone to tell him, he could tell the name just by listening to the nickname. People on the street outside might not know it, but there were few people hanging around Jiaodaokou who didn't know Li Erba'e.
The scarred number was obtained by the other party after he came back. He used to live on the streets.
When the little bastard got slapped in the face on the beach of Houhai, he just stood aside, not daring to make any rash moves, with a Type 54 rifle on his waist.
What happened to hitting you?
At that time, even the little bastard didn't dare to say a word after being beaten, and he didn't dare to go to Jiaodaokou for such a long time. The other party's deterrent power was so great.
Now? It's the same now. No one dares to mess around at Jiaodaokou. Are they afraid that there aren't enough dead souls at the West Shooting Range? Are they just trying to make up the number of people by running into the gun?
Zhang Jianguo is already seeking death, just like the little bastard did before. The little bastard was given a way out by Li Erba, but who will give Zhang Jianguo a way out?
After Zhang Jianguo has integrated the troublemakers, he will inevitably have to settle accounts with the old soldiers. By then, the fate of this city may be decided.
-
Li Xuewu had a very leisurely day on Sunday. He wandered around the club in the morning, finished the work at hand, and chatted with Huang Gan and others for a while.
Because the management authority of the club has been transferred to the management office, and even the membership review work is handled by the management office, they feel at ease.
Huang Gan has made several trips to Chadian and has been busy with farm matters.
This guy has figured out the trick and has gone a long way along Li Xuewu's line of thought, planning projects there one after another.
The people at Chadian Farm were also very smart. They knew that his father was in charge of the hats, so they would definitely cooperate with his plan.
We are already so poor, how much worse can we get?
Besides, if a prison can make money by renovating the prison environment, why can't they make money?
With the targeted assistance from a prison, various projects began to be launched, and the logs shipped from the Northeast began to be processed and prepared by machines.
The automotive parts supply chain has already placed orders, and there are also orders from the shipbuilding plant. In addition, they have their own bulk furniture processing business to develop, so they are really busy.
Printing plants and paper mills are industries that make profits as soon as they produce. As long as the machines are running and the technology is up to standard, it's like printing money.
All the papers and printed materials, like the furniture, don’t require them to worry about them. They just have to wait for their money to be divided. It’s easy and comfortable.
The money from selling paper was used to build pig pens and cattle and sheep pens, and chickens, ducks and geese were raised around the meadow. In fact, they really did follow Li Xuewu's advice and started ecological agricultural breeding.
This thing really has no problem selling at this time. Even if it is not supplied to the Red Star Factory, it can be sold to others. As long as it is grown well, there is no need to worry about losing money.
The leader of Chadian was quite open-minded. He sent a message through Huang Gan to invite him to dinner, which could be in Beijing if not Tianjin, whichever was convenient for him.
Li Xuewu did not respond. He was just saying a few words to help Huang Gan. If he really ate his food, it would be difficult to clarify the relationship between them.
He is himself, the recycling station is a small collective, and the No. 1 prison and the Chadian Farm are formal government offices.
It's okay if they have a personal relationship with each other, but if they really get together under the banner of the unit, it's really not a good thing.
Even if Li Xuewu wanted to talk about something with Huang Gan, he would only do so when they were playing in the club. He would not speak easily when he was in the prison.
Huang Gan actually knew this, so when the club expanded this year, he introduced a lot of people to it.
If you say that we all come here to exercise, that's impossible. Who has so much free time every day?
But if you say that they are here just to make friends, that is not entirely true. After all, everyone is in this position and there is no such thing as confidence.
Seeing that Li Xuewu did not agree to his invitation to the party, Huang Gan knew that he did not want to get involved in Chadian's affairs, so he did not say anything more.
He did say that he and his wife Su Youfang wanted to go home and sit and see the children.
This is a private relationship, between friends. If you happen to have a baby at someone's home and they don't want to host you, you have to find a time to go and visit them.
He is much older than Li Xuewu. When the child grows up, he will call him uncle. The wedding money cannot be less, otherwise it will not look good.
Li Xuewu did not refuse, but told Gu Ning his working time and asked them to come over when they were free.
We are not strangers to each other. We have been good friends for more than a year. Even if we don't say we share weal and woe, we are brothers who share happiness.
The main thing is that we have similar personalities, our own way of doing things, and we share the same values.
"You're sticking to me, are you going to be transferred?"
Li Xuewu saw Huang Gan still following him in the parking lot, raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Or do you have something to say?"
"No, what can I do?"
Huang Gan laughed and said, "The first prison has just been established. If anyone dares to transfer me, then he is my enemy. I won't have time to deal with him."
"Well, that's it. I have to go home and see the kids."
After hearing what he said, Li Xuewu decisively got into the car and left. Han Jiankun stepped on the accelerator and drove out of the club gate, leaving Huang Gan alone to curse.
"Fuck! I was careless. Why should I be polite to him?"
Huang Gan watched the car disappear into the distance and stamped his feet with regret. It would not be easy to catch Li Xuewu now. He had laid so much groundwork today and he should have spoken frankly.
"What's wrong? Are you having a seizure?" Pei Pei came out from the billiard room, walked over to him, glanced at him and said with a sneer, "Why are you stomping your feet?"
"Ah - I wanted to tell him to buy a house. He definitely has enough money."
Huang Gan scratched his chin and said, "What a pity, he's a fast runner. I wanted to be polite to him and wait for him to ask me something, but I didn't expect that!"
"Heh - being indecisive has always been your strong point."
Pei Pei curled his lips and said, "You men are all like this, not straightforward at all."
"Don't be so aggressive, who am I doing this for—"
Huang Gan curled his lips and said, "Forget it, I'll figure it out myself. If Zhang the butcher is gone, will I still eat hairy pigs?"
"But I still feel sorry that the Red Star Factory is doing land exchange, not just exchanging land with surrounding factories."
He clicked his tongue and said, "Their factory has built an ecological industrial zone beside the Liangma River and is planning to move the workers and their families there."
"Once a large number of people move away, there will be many empty courtyards in the city. I really want to take this opportunity to buy a small courtyard to live in."
"You can just daydream when you have money!"
Pei Pei glared at him and turned to walk towards the restaurant, not bothering to pay attention to him.
Huang Gan scratched his chin and muttered, "How can it be called a daydream..."
He said that Li Xuewu was quick to act, and Li Xuewu had already seen that this mushroom had something to say.
If it's a serious matter, I'll naturally talk about tooth extraction on the spot and do what I need to do.
But you see he's talking about this and that for a long time without getting to the point, how can Li Xuewu not see that he's not doing anything serious?
What Huang Gan asked him to do was not a serious matter. How could you imagine how unserious this matter was? How dare he eat lunch here? He should get out of here as soon as possible!
Yu Li went to the mountain today, and he doesn't have to do his part-time job, so he has to go home quickly.
He kept talking about career and Su Youfang, but Li Xuewu didn't want to pay any attention to him.
This kid has a bright future and a prominent family background. He will be successful sooner or later. Anyone who hangs out with him at this time and gets into trouble will definitely be blamed for him.
Li Xuewu himself has a background and connections, so there's no need to mess with him.
As for men, when they reach a certain age, they always become complacent with their career success, and feel that their life is dull and boring with their family life.
At this time, it is necessary to have a lively young girl by your side to help you regain your youth. Even if you don't do anything extraordinary, your heart will be outwardly attracted.
Li Xuewu knew Su Youfang. Although she seemed to speak in a gentle manner, she was actually a strong-willed person and would definitely not give Huang any room to fool around.
It was actually clear why Huang Gan wanted to see him. He didn't want Su Youfang to come to him.
If you want to make trouble, go and have fun with your family! —
I had lunch at home and didn't go anywhere. After lunch, I took the lunch box and took my daughter to the hospital to deliver lunch to Gu Ning.
My wife was on duty today, so we had dinner early at home. Considering Gu Ning's lunch break time, the meal was delivered to the office.
As soon as Li Xuewu entered the room holding the child, he was welcomed by Gu Ning and his colleagues.
This is also due to the foundation he laid for Gu Ning to make friends, and Gu Ning also became familiar with them after giving birth to a child here.
Li Xuewu is such an open-minded person. How could he leave others behind when he brought food to Gu Ning?
Of course I didn’t bring any lunch, but I took some fruits and snacks, which were all dry goods stored at home. They were precious during this period of time when there was a shortage of food.
She received a room full of thanks and jokes. When Gu Ning came back from the outpatient clinic, she saw that the father and daughter were getting along better in the room than she was.
"I'll take the lunch box back myself after I finish it. You can go back first with the child."
Gu Ning was still not used to a room full of people surrounding her or chatting and laughing with her family, so she coaxed Li Shu and asked Li Xuewu to go home.
Li Xuewu knew her temper and didn't say much. He said goodbye to everyone in the department and walked out with the child in his arms.
As luck would have it, as soon as I went out, I saw Old Zhang coming out from another door.
"Yoho--what are you going to do?"
Li Xuewu never called the other person "Old Zhang", "Mr. Zhang", "Comrade Zhang", "Uncle or Grandpa" or anything like that. He just did whatever he felt comfortable with.
The same went for Lao Zhang. He never called him by his name, and he only called Li Shu "girl". He never asked about his family affairs.
There's nothing surprising about meeting the father and daughter at this moment. Basically, everyone living nearby who has a headache or fever comes here.
"I'm here to see a friend. What are you doing...?" He looked at Li Shu and asked, "Is the girl feeling unwell?"
"She's fine," Li Xuewu explained with a smile, "Her mother works here. We brought her lunch. Have you eaten?"
"I ate late this morning, and my stomach hasn't been stitched yet." Lao Zhang motioned for them to walk together, and said with his hands behind his back, "A trip to the hospital will make me even less hungry."
"I feel the same way. My wife works here. It's so close to home but I rarely come here. I don't want to go to the factory hospital either."
Li Xuewu shook his head slightly and said, "I just feel uncomfortable. I just had lunch early and came here, otherwise I wouldn't be able to eat."
"fishing--"
Li Shu knew Lao Zhang. When she heard her father talking to him, she smiled and called out.
Old Zhang smiled and didn't care. He crossed the road and walked into the street. Then he asked, "Last time I told you to go up the mountain. What do you think? Do you want to go with us?"
"No, don't ask. My whole family believes in Lao Ma and is a staunch materialist."
Li Xuewu asked with amusement: "Why are you so intent on going to the temple? You can trust the clay Buddha but not the original intention of a person?"
"Alas - that's why they say people become less capable as they age. They have all sorts of random thoughts all day long."
Lao Zhang raised his hand and pointed in the direction of Dahu Lake and asked, "Do you have anything to do at home? If you don't, come over and sit with me."
"Don't you take a nap at noon?"
Li Xuewu glanced at him, lowered his head and asked his daughter, "Are you sleepy? If not, Dad will take you to the big lake."
"I want to go fishing..." Li Shu hugged her father's neck and said, "The fish we ate last time was delicious. I want to eat more."
"You little greedy cat." Li Xuewu tapped her nose and said, "I'll ask my aunt to go to the market to buy a fish to cook for you tonight, okay?"
After saying this, he said something to his mother as he passed by his home while holding Li Shu in his arms, and then he walked towards the lake with Lao Zhang.
It was just a passing note, and Lao Zhang started chattering about his recent visit to a friend.
"It's not that I'm superstitious, nor that I'm not loyal enough to the organization. You should understand what I mean, right?"
"Yeah, I see. It's metaphysics."
Li Xuewu nodded and said, "When people with profound knowledge reach the pinnacle of their spiritual world, they will develop a sense of self-confidence or inferiority. At this time, they need a mysterious power to support their lives."
"It's not as mysterious as you say...hiss - it seems to be the case?"
Walking to the steps by the lake and sitting down, Lao Zhang himself became confused and shook his head slightly, saying, "I don't know what's wrong with me. I'm just confused, and sometimes I'm very lost."
"I can solve this, so don't bother going up the mountain." Li Xuewu put Li Shu on the ground to play, and said with a smile: "If you ask me, you are just idle."
"I've always said that the reason people are confused is that they think too much and do too little. In other words, they have nothing better to do."
"..."
Lao Zhang looked at him speechlessly and said, "You are talking about me. I am already fifty-one years old. I am full and bored, right?"
"What happened to fifty-one?"
Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and said, "When Liu Bang was forty years old, he was still a village head in Pei County. Sima Yi was not appointed until he was sixty years old. Jiang Ziya came out of seclusion when he was eighty years old. Lady She took command when she was a hundred years old. Sun Wukong was five hundred years old..."
"De de de! You're comparing me to a monkey, aren't you?"
Lao Zhang smiled bitterly and said, "How can this be the same? You are telling me to say that. I am still young at this age."
"Compared to me, you are certainly not young, but compared to older people, you are young."
Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and said, "If you meet a 100-year-old man, what would you call him? He would look at you as a young man, just like you look at Li Shu."
Old Zhang followed Li Xuewu's hand and looked at the little girl squatting on the ground playing with ants, and suddenly felt that it was both funny and reasonable.
"I wish I could live to be a hundred. Eighty would be fine too."
"You don't even know how to live now, and you're still thinking about when you'll die?"
Li Xuewu glanced at him, picked up a stick from the ground and handed it to Li Shu to play with, saying to Lao Zhang: "Don't worry, fifty-one is nothing, your time is not over yet."
"It's not over yet? I thought so." Old Zhang looked up at the lake and said with a sense of loss: "But if my era didn't pass, how did this era come about?"
"Everything grows and the years pass. The laws of nature cannot be changed. How can you still want to regain your youth?"
Li Xuewu raised his head, looked at him and said, "Live in the present, and take care of the things in front of you first, and then think about the future."
"Hehe! You seem to be very clear-headed. You are so young!"
Old Zhang looked at him with amusement, nodded and said, "But you do look blessed, especially with this scar."
"What? You also have the skill of fortune-telling?"
Li Xuewu said with a smile: "Don't say that my scar hides bad luck and brings me good luck. Have you ever seen a blessed person with a scar on his face?"
"Isn't this what we see——"
It was the first time that Old Zhang looked at Li Xuewu's face carefully, and the more he looked, the more he frowned.
"You are destined to be rich and powerful, but not to pursue a career in politics. How did you change that?"
“Well, I know something about this.”
Li Xuewu replied with a smile: "My father is a doctor, my elder brother and sister-in-law are university teachers, and my younger brother is a university student. Even if I am a jerk, I am still rich."
"As for the idea of a career in government, it wasn't someone else who changed it. I changed it with two bottles of wine in my hands," he said with a smile, "I was supposed to work in a bank as a security guard."
“Hahahaha!”
Old Zhang was stunned for a moment, then he associated the word "security" with the bank and its connection with the vault, then he reacted and laughed out loud.
The passing god of wealth is destined to be rich, but that is other people's wealth.
He also knew that Li Xuewu was just talking nonsense. Although this boy was young, he had real skills. However, he spoke without any words and never said anything accurate.
"I just went to the hospital to see the monk," said Lao Zhang, tapping his leg. "He has been chanting sutras for half his life and has broken countless wooden fishes, but he is still tied to the bed."
"Do you think this person will live a long life if he commits evil, or will he live a comfortable life if he accumulates virtue and does good deeds?"
"Did the monk commit a sin? Tell me about it. I like to hear this—"
Li Xuewu finally heard something interesting from Lao Zhang.
He encouraged, "If your friend is also this age, he has been a monk for half his life, let's say he is twenty, that means he has been a monk for three or four decades, tut tut."
"The big cities back then were very extravagant. If your friend committed a sin, he would have become a playboy, right?"
"Why do you like to hear such things at such a young age?"
Old Zhang pointed at Li Shu with a smile and said, "You are still with the baby, be careful not to dirty the girl's ears."
"It's okay, we can just take it as a cautionary tale," Li Xuewu joked, "If it really happened in the past, I don't think it's a good thing."
"Alas - we all crawled out of the pile of dead bodies, so who doesn't have some sin on us?"
Old Zhang sighed and said, "Even if I didn't commit any sins, the sins committed by my family members because of me are no longer sins? They will still come back to haunt me."
"You're not talking about some old man or young man, the remnant of the previous dynasty, right?"
Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and asked, "Or is it about the old things in the rich and powerful families and deep courtyard houses?"
"The monk is, but I am not. I come from a poor peasant family for eight generations." Old Zhang shook his head slightly and said, "It was all by chance that we met."
"What's there to be sad about? I enjoyed all the blessings in the first half of my life, and now the blessings are over."
Li Xuewu stood up holding his daughter, patted the dirt off her body and said, "If you hadn't suffered in the first half of your life, would you have been able to enjoy the happiness in the second half?"
"You really have a lot of words to say!" Lao Zhang said with a smile: "Okay, I have learned a lot today."
"What did you learn? I didn't tell you anything!"
Li Xuewu said with drooping eyelids: "Don't get too hung up on the cause and effect relationship. In my opinion, it is completely idealism."
“There is no rule that good deeds must be rewarded, and bad deeds must be punished.”
He picked up Li Shu and said, "If you really want to get rid of the vanity in your heart, you might as well do something down to earth, even if it's fishing."
"If you can really make a name for yourself in fishing, I'll make sure you become rich and live a peaceful old age."
"Hahahaha—OK! I'll listen to you!"
Old Zhang smiled and squeezed Li Shu's little hand, saying, "The girl is lucky. She knows who to follow to enjoy happiness, and she is looking for her own parents."
After that, he waved his hand to Li Xuewu and said, "Don't talk nonsense with me. Go do what you need to do. I'm going home."
"I wish you can break free from your illusions soon and join the ranks of the immortals!" Li Xuewu said with a smile, "From your pious appearance, you don't look like someone who will go to hell."
"Go to hell—hahaha!"
-
On Monday, before Li Xuewu left home for work, he received a phone call.
Qin Jingru stopped him at the door and said that she had received a phone call saying that the baby was about to be born.
This is really annoying. Why is she calling here when she has a baby? What does it have to do with him? It's his child!
Li Xuewu dared to guarantee that apart from Li Ning, he had no other biological child and absolutely no troublesome illegitimate children.
He said this before answering the phone, but he didn't say it after answering the phone.
You know what, having children does have something to do with him.
You said that the child is not his own flesh and blood, but he still has to call him dad.
This story starts with that bastard Ji Weidong.
Ji Weidong took the initiative to acknowledge Li Shu as his goddaughter, and forced Li Xuewu to acknowledge his unborn son as his godson, saying that they were keeping each other hostages.
It means he can act silly, but if it's serious, he won't recognize a godchild so casually.
It is not advisable to adopt a godparent before the child is even born, unless there are some special circumstances.
However, Ji Weidong is a man of many tricks and he does whatever he wants. His words are final.
So when he heard the call from Han Yating's family that she had given birth to a big fat boy, he really had to go over to see it.
Not only the relationship with Ji Yuxiu, but also the relationship with Ji Weidong needs to be taken care of.
The reason he came back this time was actually to check on Han Yating's condition and calculate when she would give birth.
Before leaving, he specifically asked Li Xuewu to help take care of him, as he was afraid that something might happen.
Since Li Xuewu was not convenient, he arranged for Shen Guodong and Xiaoyan to accompany Ji Yuxiu to visit frequently.
Care means nothing more than giving birth and raising children, sending more nutritional supplements, and helping to arrange a hospital for delivery.
He told Gu Ning, who had just come downstairs to go to work, about Han Yating.
The couple decided to bring the things over there in the evening, and during the day, they would let Qin Jingru look after the two children while their mother Liu Yin would go over first.
Liu Yin is also a relative of Ji Weidong's family. His parents are not in the mainland, so she should go over to see them. Both Han Yating and the newborn baby are members of the Ji family.
After Li Xuewu discussed with Gu Ning, he told his mother to ask Han Jiankun to drop him off and then come back to pick her up to take her to the hospital. All the things were ready.
I spent some time at home and was a little late when I arrived at the office.
However, no one checked his attendance, but the secretary of the commission's office was looking for him anxiously.
After the cooperation negotiations with the French Santaya Group were completed, the factory put forward the agenda of the reconstruction of Yingcheng Ship.
The main purpose is to lay the foundation for the shipbuilding orders provided by French businessmen, and also to arrange the machinery and technology provided by the other party.
There are not many shipyards that have the ability to manufacture 10,000-ton giant ships these days. Yingcheng Shipyard has been under construction and expansion all the time.
From the day we took over, we have received support from the Red Star Factory, support from the Steel Plant, technology and equipment from Italian businessmen, and cooperation with Bincheng Shipyard.
Now another French businessman has come and wants to get an order for a 10,000-ton cargo ship. The other party is ready to take advantage of this.
The amount in the compensation agreement is supplemented by a standard 10,000-ton cargo ship. This has already been agreed upon and cannot be changed.
Now it depends on how much the shipyard can reduce the cost of shipbuilding.
Of course, it is also an opportunity for the shipyard itself. If they can build the first ship, they can also build the tenth and the hundredth.
It depends on whether Yingcheng Shipyard can withstand this pressure before building the tenth and hundredth 10,000-ton cargo ships.
The meeting was chaired by Cheng Kaiyuan. The main person in charge from Yingcheng Shipyard came, but Xu Sinian did not come. Instead, the deputy director came.
The factory's main intention is to build up important areas in the city, expand the port, the wharf and the shipyard.
We need to speed up the construction of existing infrastructure, and at the same time make good plans and preparations for expansion. As soon as the cooperation agreement with French businessmen is signed, we need to get started.
This was a meeting held in advance and had no impact on the shipyard, but it did attract the attention of Italian businessman Andrew.
The old guy rushed all the way from Yingcheng to the capital, arrived at the Red Star Factory, and went straight to Li Xuewu's office.
"Mr. Li, are we friends?"
