Siheyuan: He Yuzhu since 1958

Chapter 333 Lou Xiao'e Returns to Hong Kong Island

A little after noon, the security department came to the kitchen of the third canteen and saw He Yuzhu sitting on a chair to rest. They said, "Master He, there is a woman at the door looking for you."

"Female?!" He Yuzhu immediately thought of Lou Xiao'e and asked, "Did you ask her name?!"

The security officer replied somewhat embarrassedly: "I forgot to ask. But the woman was dressed very fashionably."

Fashionable dress, that's a sure thing! It's Lou Xiao'e. He Yuzhu quickly took off his sleeves, bib and work clothes, and said, "Please ask for leave for me. We can talk tomorrow if there's anything!" After that, He Yuzhu ran out.

Secretary Qian came down from upstairs and stopped He Yuzhu who was about to leave, saying, "Master He, Deputy Director Zhang asked you to add two more dishes!"

He Yuzhu replied: "I don't have time! If you want to eat, make it yourself!"

Secretary Qian looked at He Yuzhu's back with a surprised expression on his face, muttering, "What's his attitude?" Then Secretary Qian saw that everyone around him ignored him. Secretary Qian instantly felt embarrassed, and angrily returned to the small box, whispering a few words in Deputy Director Zhang's ear.

Deputy Director Zhang's expression changed slightly. After signaling Secretary Qian to leave, he smiled and raised his glass, saying, "I apologize for the poor hospitality today!"

"Mr. Zhang, you are so polite. The quality of this table of food is no worse than that of a state banquet! We really envy you for having such a great chef in your factory!"

"That's right! Lao Zhang, we need to find Chef He from your factory in the future, and you can't stop us!"

Deputy Director Zhang smiled and said, "Don't worry! I won't stop you." At this time, Deputy Director Zhang had already made a note of He Yuzhu in his little notebook. When he became the director in the future, he would make He Yuzhu understand what it meant that those who obey him will prosper and those who disobey him will perish.

He Yuzhu ran to the factory gate and saw Lou Xiao'e standing under a tree. He Yuzhu slowed down, walked in front of Lou Xiao'e and asked, "Why are you here?!"

Lou Xiaoe replied: "I have finished my work. I have nothing to do, so I came to take a look."

He Yuzhu asked: "Have you eaten?!"

Lou Xiaoe replied: "No!"

"Since there is none, I'll take you to dinner!" He Yuzhu was about to take Lou Xiao'e away. Lou Xiao'e asked, "Aren't you going to work this afternoon?!"

He Yuzhu answered very straightforwardly: "I have already asked for leave!"

Just then a car came out of the steel mill. Director Yang, who was sitting in the back seat, saw He Yuzhu and Lou Xiaoe chatting under the tree and immediately shouted, "Stop the car!"

The driver did not dare to neglect and stopped the car immediately. Director Yang opened the door, got out of the car, walked in front of Lou Xiao'e, looked at Lou Xiao'e, and asked, "You are Lou Zhenhua's daughter Lou Xiao'e, right?!"

Lou Xiao'e looked at Director Yang and asked, "Are you Uncle Yang?!"

Director Yang laughed and said, "I didn't expect that you still remember me after all these years." After that, Director Yang looked at He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu said, "Director, go ahead and do your thing. I will take good care of Lou Xiaoe."

Director Yang rolled his eyes at He Yuzhu, then looked at Lou Xiaoe and asked, "Is your father okay?!"

Lou Xiao'e replied: "My father is doing well now. Maybe he will come back after a while."

"Okay! Okay, that's fine! You guys chat slowly, I have something to do so I'll leave first!" After saying that, Director Yang turned around and got into the car. He watched the car slowly drive away. Lou Xiao'e said, "He was such a high-spirited man back then. I didn't expect that he looks older than my father now."

He Yuzhu said, "He has been sweeping the streets in the factory for a few years. It's good enough that he can recover to this state now." Then he asked, "Where are you going to eat?!"

Lou Xiaoe replied: "You decide!"

"Okay! Wait for me for a moment, I'll go push the bike." After saying that, He Yuzhu went back to the factory, then hurriedly ran out pushing his bicycle, and left with Lou Xiaoe.

After He Yuzhu and Lou Xiao'e left, the people in the security department started to discuss unconsciously. The topic was always about Lou Xiao'e. Everyone was speculating about the relationship between Lou Xiao'e and He Yuzhu.

Half a month passed in a blink of an eye. The relationship between He Yuzhu and Lou Xiao'e was improving rapidly. Although He Yuzhu and Lou Xiao'e were reluctant to leave each other, facing Lou Zhenhua's constant phone calls, Lou Xiao'e temporarily said goodbye to He Yuzhu and returned to Hong Kong Island.

At the same time, Director Yang's retirement report had been approved. After completing the handover procedures, Director Yang left the steel mill completely. It is said that the higher you stand, the harder you fall. Deputy Director Zhang, who was originally the most popular, was tricked by Deputy Directors Song and Liu. Not only did Deputy Director Zhang fail to become the director of the steel mill, he even lost his position as deputy director and got himself into trouble.

Hong Kong Island, Lou family villa.

A black Mercedes-Benz drove into the gate of the villa. When the car stopped, Lou Xiao'e got out. Hearing the noise, Tan Lingya came out of the villa, smiled and hugged Lou Xiao'e who rushed into her arms, and asked while looking at Lou Xiao'e: "How are you doing in the Forty-Nine City?!"

Without waiting for Lou Xiao'e to speak, Lou Bingnan, who was helping with the luggage, said, "Mom, look how much weight she has gained. How can she not be living well?!"

"Brother! What are you talking about?!" Lou Xiao'e called out shyly, looked at Tan Lingya, and asked, "Mom, are you and Dad okay?!"

Tan Lingya replied, "Okay! Your father and I are fine! We are just worried about you. Let's go inside and talk."

Lou Xiao'e helped Tan Lingya into the villa and saw Lou Zhenhua sitting in the living room and shouted, "Dad!"

"Yeah!" Lou Zhenhua responded, put down the book in his hand, and asked, "Are you back?!"

Lou Xiao'e smiled and said, "I'm back!"

Lou Zhenhua then asked: "Is everything going well?!"

Lou Xiao'e replied, "Dad, except for the money the steel mill owes us, everything else has gone very smoothly. I guess next time we go back, they will be able to pay us back the money the steel mill owes us." Then Lou Xiao'e told Lou Zhenhua about the house change.

After listening to Lou Xiao'e's narration, Lou Zhenhua showed a satisfied smile on his face and said, "You made a good move." Then Lou Zhenhua came to his senses and asked, "Girl, you definitely don't have this brain. Tell Dad, who gave you this idea?!"

Lou Xiaoe replied: "Dad, you and mom both know the person who gave me this idea. It's He Yuzhu."

"Is it him?!" Lou Zhenhua and Tan Lingya both cried out in surprise. Lou Zhenhua asked, "Did you see him?!"

"Yeah!" Lou Xiao'e responded softly, with a shy look on her face. Tan Lingya seemed to have noticed something strange about her daughter and asked, "You're not attracted to that boy, are you?!"

"I don't like him! " Lou Xiao'e denied hurriedly.

Tan Lingya sighed and thought to herself, "Girls really can't be kept when they grow up!" Then she looked at Lou Zhenhua. Lou Zhenhua instantly understood what his wife meant and asked with a smile, "What is he doing now?!"

Lou Xiaoe replied: "He is now the canteen director and chef of the factory kitchen at the steel mill. He lives a better life than the leaders."
