Chapter 444 Persuasion
Two days later, He Yuzhu arranged the work and handed the matter over to Liang Yinghong.
He carried his bag, rode his bicycle in the sunshine, and headed straight for Lingjing Hutong.
From a distance, I saw Lu Ming standing at the entrance. He let go of the handlebars and waved his hands vigorously.
"Brother Lu, why are you still so polite today? Wait for me here."
As soon as the bicycle stopped, He Yuzhu jumped off and joked loudly.
As he spoke, he swiftly took out his work ID and handed it to the guard for inspection.
Lu Ming stood aside, watching the scene in front of him, a faint smile appeared on his face, and he immediately fought back.
"You invited a master chef to prepare the banquet today, so shouldn't you welcome him here?"
He couldn't hold it in anymore and burst out laughing at the end.
He Yuzhu took the ID from the guard and laughed along with Lu Ming.
"Haha~Brother Lu, why did the commander suddenly return to Beijing this time? Last time he said he would have to wait for a while before returning.
Have you achieved any results recently? Or is there any urgent matter?"
He pushed his bicycle and walked beside Lu Ming. Seeing that there was no one around, he asked in a low voice.
Lu Ming looked embarrassed, which was rare. He hesitated for a moment and then shook his head.
"Zhu Zi, this is hard to say. After lunch, go ask the chief yourself!"
"Ah?" He Yuzhu exclaimed, his eyes full of confusion, and asked, "Brother Lu, is this necessary?"
Seeing his expression at this moment, I stopped making things difficult for him.
"Okay~ Then I'll wait for the chief to tell me. What's going on? Why are you being so mysterious?"
Lu Ming patted He Yuzhu's shoulder, his tone slightly serious: "We shouldn't discuss it, it's not a good thing."
"Isn't this right? Given this situation, the chief is still in the mood to treat us."
After hearing this, He Yuzhu became even more confused. He stopped and looked at Lu Ming in surprise.
Seeing this, Lu Ming had no choice but to talk about something else and change the subject.
"Zhu Zi, have you brought everything? Let's stop talking and start stewing the soup."
"Tsk tsk~Alright, alright! You're so anxious today that you didn't even let me greet the chief first."
Lu Ming increased the force on his hand and slapped He Yuzhu's arm with a "pa pa".
"Why are you still complaining? The chief is busy in the study!
If you are not afraid of being scolded, go ahead, I won't stop you."
After saying that, without caring about his reaction, he strode back to the yard.
This place is not a strange place for He Yuzhu, and he is not worried that he has gone to the wrong place.
I didn't expect him to be so tight-lipped and not reveal any information, which made He Yuzhu feel uneasy for some reason.
Without time to think, he quickened his pace to catch up with Lu Ming and walked into the familiar yard.
The atmosphere in the study room in the courtyard was not cheerful.
Two figures sat opposite each other on the sofa, with steam rising from the teacups in their hands and a fresh tea aroma wafting from them.
"Tsk~ Where did you get this good tea? It tastes like new tea.
Wasn’t it said before that the quantity of this tea was small and rare?
If you don't tell me the truth, I will still punish you!"
Just after taking a sip of tea, the man sitting at the top raised his eyebrows and stared at Chief Chen.
"Oh my god~ I am so wronged! If you want to treat you to a good meal, I will accept it.
I paid for it out of my own pocket, but I didn't do anything extra.
Boss, we have known each other for decades. Don’t you know who I am? ”
Commander Chen was not at all flustered and immediately spoke up for himself.
After all, the tea was sent by He Yuzhu, and his family also gave money and receipts.
Besides, it would be justified for our younger generations to make some tea and go anywhere.
When the boss saw his usual cheating tone, his frown relaxed and he waved his hand in annoyance.
"Alright, alright, you're still such a jerk."
As he spoke, a hint of reminiscence flashed across his face, "Is this the Xiao He I met in Harbin a few years ago?
A young comrade with top cooking skills despite his young age. "
Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Commander Chen couldn't help but smile and responded repeatedly.
"Yes, that guy. He is in the Forty-Nine City. I specially called him here today."
The boss moved his lips and wanted to give a lecture, but finally gave up the idea.
During this period, Commander Chen made a special trip back to Sijiu City to report on his achievements.
But he could feel the concern, and probably thought that most of the time they came for himself.
"Since you've come all the way here, I'll have a good meal here today.
But this won't happen again, did you hear me?"
Chief Chen was all smiles at the moment and immediately agreed: "Okay, okay, this won't happen again.
"Next time, you can treat me, okay? I won't be polite."
"Okay, when will you return to Harbin? I'll give you a farewell party."
After saying this, the boss took a big sip of tea, savoring its sweet aftertaste.
After some chatting, the atmosphere in the room became relaxed.
Feeling that the time was right, Commander Chen put down the teacup in his hand and began to hint at the issue with caution.
"Boss, how come you moved out so well? Are you used to the new place?"
The boss's rough palm paused slightly, causing ripples in the tea in the cup. He was not calm inside.
The inner distress is hard to describe and eventually turns into a quiet sigh.
“My position has been removed, and the house there is not my place, so I have to move out.
I've lived in all kinds of shabby houses before, so there's nothing I can't get used to."
Chief Chen heard the expected answer and sighed: "Boss, aren't you still a committee member?"
The boss waved his hand to interrupt him and said seriously, "Shukang, don't say any more.
I understand your good intentions, but I still reserve my opinion.
I have fought for the cause of revolution for so many years, and this is nothing."
Seeing his resolute attitude, Chief Chen said anxiously, “But if this is the case, it will be too dangerous for you to leave the country.
If this continues, problems will arise one day, and they will be big problems.
If something happens, you..."
"Okay, Shukang, I know what's going on. Don't say any more. Don't let this affect you.
Let’s not talk about this anymore, let’s talk about something happy!
You have been doing well in the North and have achieved a lot.
The better you do there, the more reassured I will be.”
The boss had a serious expression on his face and spoke in a calm tone, as if he was not the one who was wronged.
Commander Chen knew very well the temper of the person in front of him, the one who couldn't be persuaded even by nine oxen.
Staring closely at the pair of tiger eyes opposite him, all he saw was determination and indomitable spirit, without a trace of compromise.
"Hey~ Boss!"
Hearing him sigh again, the boss came over to comfort Chief Chen and pretended to be relaxed.
"Why are you sighing? This is not like you!
Besides, you didn't invite me here just to listen to your sighs, did you? Cheer up."
