Siheyuan: Big City, Small Love

Chapter 310 Mr. Xu

"Sister Dandan, here, this is my greatest sincerity. Please be magnanimous and forgive me this time."

He came to Shen Dandan and gave her a piece of chocolate.

"Hmph, give me another piece and I'll forgive you." Shen Dandan looked at the chocolate on the table and said, trying hard to hold back her smile.

"Uh... okay, I'll give you another piece. This is the last piece, and I don't have any more."

He Lai pretended to be embarrassed and took out another piece from his pocket.

This chocolate is from several years ago. Fortunately, everything in the space can stay fresh and will not expire.

"Okay, I forgive you." Shen Dandan put away the chocolate and smiled at He Lai. Which girl doesn't like chocolate!

She knew that He Lai and the others meant well and that it was others who were wrong. It was not worth getting angry with He Lai and Zhang Zhiwen for a scumbag, so when Zhang Zhiwen came to apologize, she had already forgiven them. Now that she got two chocolates from He Lai for free, she was even happier.

He Lai returned to his seat and Zhang Zhiwen leaned over.

"Do you have any chocolate left? Give me one."

"Gone, there were only two pieces in total, and she took them all." He Lai patted his pocket and said.

"How come you have everything? I haven't had chocolate in a long time."

"You can definitely get this chocolate if you go to the Friendship Hotel."

He Lai said with a smile.

At that time, the Friendship Hotel received most of the foreigners in Beijing, and it had many rare items for sale.

"Now the foreigners in that hotel all speak English, but I don't know it either. They were all Soviet people, so I could handle Russian, but now I can't."

Zhang Zhiwen said distressedly.

"Then there's nothing we can do. Let's just relax and take it easy." He Lai said with a wry smile.

Just after lunch, Director Yang's secretary Yan came over and said that a leader wanted to see him.

He Lai was confused. Could it be that Mr. Zhou had come?

Ever since he complained to Mr. Zhou, Director Yang never dared to trip him up again. He probably knew that he was really not someone to be trifled with.

"Oh, who is that Secretary Yan?"

"You'll know when you go there." Secretary Yan didn't say much to He Lai. After all, he knew that Director Yang didn't like him now and he had suffered a loss at his hands. As Director Yang's direct subordinate, he naturally wouldn't have much contact with He Lai.

Seeing that the other party was unwilling to speak, He Lai did not force him and just followed him.

He Lai entered the meeting room and saw that it was Mr. Xu. He was really embarrassed because he had just teamed up with Mr. Zhou to cheat him not long ago and even stole his son's officer's woolen coat.

"Oh, the real boss is here, come here quickly, this is my junior, you have to take good care of him." When Mr. Xu saw He Lai coming, he immediately smiled.

Director Yang and his colleagues immediately agreed. Fortunately, Mr. Xu was several levels higher than them, so they did not dare to refute.

"Grandpa Xu, why are you here?" He Lai could only bite the bullet and continue talking.

"Why, I can't come and see it? Come on, show me your mill."

"Uh...ok."

"You don't have to go. Xiao Laizi can accompany me. You all go and do your work. Don't delay your work because of me." Old Master Xu said to Director Yang and others.

"Okay, okay, Minister Xu."

Director Yang bowed and nodded to Mr. Xu, then turned to He Lai and gave instructions.

"He Lai, since Minister Xu said so, you should take Minister Xu around. If you have any instructions, just tell Xiao Liang."

"Okay, Director Yang." He Lai agreed.

After watching Minister Xu and others leave the office, Director Yang was secretly shocked. He didn't expect that He Lai actually knew so many big leaders. He actually dared to offend such a person. He must think his position is too high!

After being warned by Vice Minister Yu last time, Director Yang no longer dares to act recklessly. He should just do his job as a factory director quietly.

……

"Don't be nervous, little Laizi. The old man can't eat you! I just came by to take a look at this mill. After all, it is also beneficial to agriculture."

Mr. Xu smiled and took He Lai's hand, saying, "Mr. Xu didn't bring many people with him, only a secretary and a guard, the same one named Wei."

"Well, I'll take you to the mill assembly workshop. There are ready-made mills there."

He Lai didn't believe that Mr. Xu came to see the grinding mill. He must have some purpose.

But He Lai really wronged Mr. Xu. He was really passing by the Red Star Steel Mill and came to see He Lai on a whim, and of course he also wanted to take revenge.

After a round of inspection, Mr. Xu just smiled and didn't say much.

"Grandpa Xu, you've finished reading it, what do you think?" He Lai's meaning was obvious: just leave after you've finished reading it.

"Why are you in such a hurry? I haven't had lunch yet. Try the steamed bread from your factory and see if the corn flour ground by this mill is really better than before. And... and... that cold noodle. I want to try it too."

Of course Mr. Xu couldn't just let He Lai go, so he directly asked for lunch.

"Then I'll take you to the private room over at the cafeteria, and I'll ask Brother Zhuzi to cook you some of his signature dishes."

"Okay, let's go. I like Sichuan cuisine. Prepare some. The spicier the better. Got it?"

"understood."

He Lai replied with a bitter face, "Damn it, I'll watch you eat it later. It's so spicy that you'll die of spicy food, you old kid!"

……

"Brother Zhuzi, make two or three Sichuan dishes. Mr. Xu is coming, so make it spicier. And roast my goose for him as well."

He came to the kitchen and gave instructions to Sha Zhu.

"What? Mr. Xu is here. Why don't we make a few more? The factory director and his men always have more than a dozen dishes for dinner."

"No need. It's just Mr. Xu and the few people he brought with him. There aren't many people. Just make something delicious."

"Okay, I get it, leave it to me."

……

After a while, four Sichuan dishes were served, including Mapo Tofu, Twice-Cooked Pork, Kung Pao Chicken, and Boiled Fish.

"Yeah, not bad, not bad. Your big brother made it, right? You two should eat it too, don't just watch."

Mr. Xu tasted it, nodded, and asked his secretary and guard to pick up their chopsticks.

"Hey, little Laizi, this steamed bread is really good, but can you bring a bottle of wine? You want me to eat it without anything else?"

"Ah, Grandpa Xu, you can't drink during work hours. How about I get you a bottle and you drink it yourself?"

He Lai didn't want to drink it, and he was too lazy to eat the food. It was bright red, so it must be very spicy. He had suffered a loss last time.

"No, you must have a few drinks with me today!" Just as Mr. Xu finished speaking, Secretary Liang came in with two bottles of Fenjiu.

"Leader, wine."

"Okay, leave it there. Xiao Laizi, pour me some wine!"

Old Master Xu took a bite of the steamed bun and started to give orders to He Lai.

Pour it, pour it. I have space anyway, just put the wine into the space.

Soon He Lai drank a few glasses of white wine with Mr. Xu, and He Lai accompanied them without changing his expression.

"Hey, Xiao Laizi, I didn't expect you to be able to drink so much at such a young age. You drank a few glasses without changing your expression."

Old Master Xu was shocked. He didn't expect He Lai to be such a heavy drinker. His idea of ​​getting him drunk was now shattered.

"Hehe, Grandpa Xu, I grew up in a wine jar and I can drink a lot. I will definitely keep you company. Shall we drink?" He Lai started bragging immediately.

"Drink shit, old man, I need to take a break." Old Master Xu put down his wine glass, leaned back in his chair and looked at He Lai.

Just then, Sha Zhu came over with a large plate of stewed goose.

"Mr. Xu, I've made you another stewed goose. Xiao Laizi prepared it especially for you. Please try it."

Sha Zhu introduced.

"Okay, Zhuzi, your cooking skills are pretty good. I'm very satisfied with the food! Come, let me have a drink with you."

"Okay, I'll have a drink with Mr. Xu."

Old Master Xu still gave face to Sha Zhu. The two of them quickly drank a glass and then Sha Zhu left.
