Siheyuan: Big City, Small Love

Chapter 389 Return to Guangcheng

In the evening, He Lai wrote a detailed plan for Zhuang Shijiu so that he could carry out reforms based on the actual situation and facilitate his subsequent operations. After all, people of that era were still backward in thinking and exploited their workers too much. They didn't pay them but still expected others to work for them.

People like Mr. Li are all like this, with the face of a typical capitalist. I remember that there was a workers' riot in the 1960s, which was first caused by Mr. Li's plastic factory. Because the economy expanded rapidly, but the workers' wages did not increase, this triggered a series of riots.

Because he wrote late, He Lai did not get up until noon the next day. Because of what happened with the young lady yesterday, Lou Bancheng did not ask Wu Ma to wake He Lai up.

Lou Bancheng and Zhuang Shijiu were both in the reception room, chatting!

"Oh, our little nephew still remembers to get up!" Zhuang Shijiu said sarcastically.

"Uncle Lou, why didn't you call me? I missed a meal!"

He Lai pouted and said dissatisfiedly.

"Hey, kid, you're lying in bed and you're blaming me." Lou Bancheng also found it funny! He Lai's familiarity was too obvious.

"What are you talking about? I spent the whole night writing a plan! How else can I carry out factory reform?"

He Lai took out five pieces of paper from his arms and said.

"Let me see it, let me see it." When Zhuang Shijiu heard that it was a reform plan, he immediately wanted to get it in his hands.

"Uncle Jiu, I suddenly remembered that you haven't given me any gift yet!" He Lai retracted his hand and avoided Zhuang Shijiu's hand.

"You little brat, okay, Uncle Jiu will take you there later. Give me the things first."

Zhuang Shijiu was speechless.

"No, unless you give it to me first, otherwise I will go back in the afternoon, and it will be a bit difficult to see you again."

He Lai remained unmoved.

"Hey, I don't have anything to give you right now! Why are you in such a hurry to go back? Just stay a few more days!" Zhuang Shijiu said.

"No, I promised my mother that I would call her in three days, otherwise she won't be able to sleep! I have to go back, I am a well-known filial son in the city."

He Lai explained with a proud look on his face.

"Oh my, I didn't realize you're such a filial kid. How about this, I'll have someone buy you some things from Hong Kong City so you can take them back to honor your mother. Is that okay?"

Zhuang Shijiu said with a smile.

"Hey, Uncle Jiu, you're so nice. Here, my mother doesn't like other things, but she likes supplements like abalone, bird's nest, shark fin, and fish maw. Last time, Uncle Lou gave me some, and my mother was so happy."

He Lai quickly gave the plan to Zhuang Shijiu and mentioned the things he wanted to buy.

"Good boy, you only pick the expensive ones, right? All right, Lao Zhao, go buy some now, buy more!"

Zhuang Shijiu said to his driver Lao Zhao.

"Yes, sir." Old Zhao responded and walked out.

Lou Bancheng also signaled Lao Ma with his eyes, and Lao Ma understood and went out.

"Old Lou, look, look, this guy is really a talented guy!"

Zhuang Shijiu looked at the reform plan written by He Lai. Although it would greatly increase the workers' wages, the benefits mentioned were also very considerable.

Although I don’t know how it will be implemented, it’s good enough to give it a try.

Lou Bancheng also nodded frequently, approving He Lai's plan and thinking it could be implemented.

Just like that, Zhuang Shijiu and Lou Bancheng didn't even have lunch, and they kept studying how to implement the plan.

He Lai ate with gusto at the table and finished all the dishes quickly. The cooking skills of Lou's family were quite good, at least better than that of that restaurant.

At one or two o'clock in the afternoon, the three of them sat together again.

"Xiao Laizi, Uncle Lou and your Uncle Nine have discussed it and decided to give you 20% of the shares. After all, we two old guys owe you such a big favor, especially Uncle Lou. I took more than 10 million from you for nothing, and I feel guilty."

Lou Bancheng sighed.

"Uncle Lou, you called the wrong person!"

"What the hell, you naughty monkey, when your uncle Lou and I were fighting for the world together, you didn't even know where you were, He Lai, right? Your uncle Jiu remembers you!"

Zhuang Shijiu glared at He Lai and cursed.

"Uh... Fine, it's up to you. I've given the money to HSBC to manage anyway, so you can handle it yourselves."

He Lai spread his hands and said indifferently that it didn't matter to him how much money he had now, after all, he had countless treasures in his space.

"Okay, then Uncle Lou will go find him to do it. Uncle Lou won't go back with you. I have to wait until the Canton Fair is over. Brother Jiu's driver will take you back to Guangzhou later."

Lou Bancheng explained.

Originally, it would not matter whether he went back early or late, but now the situation of the Lou family in Gangcheng made him feel uneasy if he went back, so he decided to stay for a few more days to deal with the situation here.

"Okay, Uncle Lou." He Lai naturally had no objection. After all, he had seen a lot of the world in Gangcheng. That was enough. It was time to go back and continue eating steamed buns.

In this way, He Lai and the other two chatted for a while, and then He Lai was sent back to Guangcheng by the driver.

After getting off the car, He Lai was holding a bunch of things in his hands. If he was not afraid of exposing himself, he would have asked the driver to take him directly to the guesthouse.

As soon as He Lai got out of the car, he immediately felt that countless pairs of eyes were looking at him. He thought to himself, "Oh no!" He must be spotted by some shady people and must leave here quickly.

He walked quickly into an empty alley, and seeing that no one was following him, he flashed into the space.

Just after He Lai entered the space, seven or eight big men emerged from the alley.

"Ergou, are you sure you didn't see it wrong? He came in here?" asked a middle-aged man.

"Boss, I must be seeing things. I saw him walk in with my own eyes, and he never left."

The man named Ergou said.

"That's strange. This is a dead end. Could it be that he has been discovered and escaped by climbing over the wall? Chase him and look around. He's a fat sheep!"

The middle-aged man gave the order, and several people immediately went to look for He Lai.

This scene was seen clearly by He who was in the space.

He Lai laughed to himself and said: You little bastard, the person who can rob me hasn't been born yet!

However, He Lai did not do anything to them. After all, he couldn't kill all of them. If one of them ran away, it would be difficult to explain.

He Lai changed back into his previous clothes, took off his mask, and then observed the situation outside the space. After making sure that everyone had left, he came out of the space with only a small bag of things left in his hand.

Because the first phase of the Canton Fair has ended, the exhibition hall is now being rearranged, and the steel rolling mills have all stayed to work because they have many orders.

After all, it was the first time to do business with foreign businessmen, so Li Huaide was extremely alert, fearing that something might go wrong, and asked about every detail.

The people over at Sijiu City were quite supportive, having delivered the first batch of goods the night before yesterday, which included thirty lighters and two thousand grinding machines.

Soon a group of foreign businessmen paid the money, received the goods, and immediately went abroad to sell them.

When He Lai came back, he immediately attracted the attention of Xu Damao and his group.

"Hey, Xiao Laizi, you came back just in time. We just sent away the last foreign businessman and you came back! Tell me, have you been secretly watching us work?"

Xu Damao smiled.

"That's right. If they don't leave, how could I dare to come back?" He Lai said, rolling his eyes at Xu Damao.

"Xiao Laizi, I've been so tired these days. These things are too heavy. Now I can't even lift my arms. Come back and take a look at them for me." Sha Zhu also came over and complained.

Due to the lack of forklifts and other handling tools, everything now basically relies on manpower, which makes the workers exhausted.

"Okay, I'll give you a massage now!" He Lai pressed Sha Zhu down on the chair and checked him. It turned out that he did have a muscle strain.

Soon, Sha Zhu's hands were no longer so painful under He Lai's kneading. Everyone joined in the massage, and He Lai was exhausted. Tragedy, tragedy.
