Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 68 Heading to Shenzhen

The next morning, Chen Guobang drove out early, apparently going to Yang Jianlong's house. Ever since Chen Guobang learned in Japan that Lu Shaohua had borrowed 1 million Hong Kong dollars, he had been thinking about it every day. Yesterday, Lu Shaohua asked him to pay off the loan, so he naturally took it to heart and left early.

Lu Shaohua had no idea that Chen Guobang had gone out. He was still lying on the bed playing chess with Zhou Gong. When he got up, it was already ten o'clock in the morning. After breakfast, he began to pack some necessary things. This time he would return to Shenzhen for more than one or two days, so he had to take all the clothes back with him, and the gifts he bought from Tokyo had to be taken back as well.

It was eleven o'clock in the morning, and it took Lu Shaohua an hour to pack all his things. He had just sat down in the lobby on the first floor when he heard the sound of a car. He opened the door and saw that it was Chen Guobang who came back. However, the first person to get off the car was not Chen Guobang, but Yang Jianlong.

"Hahaha! Xiaohua, don't you welcome me?" Yang Jianlong just got off the car and burst into laughter when he saw Lu Shaohua standing at the gate.

"Haha, how could that be? I just didn't expect that a big boss like you would have so much free time to come to my place today. Come in and sit down." Lu Shaohua knew that Yang Jianlong was joking, so he laughed it off. He really didn't expect that Yang Jianlong would have time to come. After all, his business was growing bigger and bigger, and he was opening more and more branches.

"Oh, I'm just busy with those trivial things, running around all day." Yang Jianlong closed the car door and walked straight towards Lu Shaohua.

Seeing Yang Jianlong approaching, Lu Shaohua opened the door a little wider and made a gesture to invite him in. A visitor is a guest, and even though Yang Jianlong needs Lu Shaohua's care, he is in Lu Shaohua's home now, and it is a Chinese custom to greet him with courtesy.

When Yang Jianlong came to Lu Shaohua's place, he did not put on any pretense. After sitting down on the sofa, he put his feet up. Originally, Hong Kong people did not have this habit, but for some reason, the more Yang Jianlong spent time with Lu Shaohua's family, the more he developed this habit.

Lu Shaohua didn't mind Yang Jianlong's habit, because he had the same habit. After they sat down, Lu Shaohua spoke slowly. "You should also find someone you can trust to help you manage things, so you don't have to be there in person for everything."

"Oh, I want to too, but it's hard to find someone I can trust." It's not that Yang Jianlong doesn't want to have some free time, he's just afraid of ruining the good situation he's worked so hard to create.

"Don't doubt people when you employ them, and don't employ people if you don't trust them." Lu Shaohua used this phrase again. He knew Yang Jianlong and knew that the current situation was caused by his fear of delegating power.

Yang Jianlong fell into deep thought, constantly pondering the true meaning of Lu Shaohua's words in his mind. After a long while, he patted his thigh vigorously and laughed. "Well said, well said."

Lu Shaohua shook his head and smiled bitterly, thinking to himself: "I just said one sentence, is there any need for such a big reaction?"

"By the way, Xiaohua, I heard from brother Guobang that you are going back to Shenzhen in the afternoon?" After laughing, Yang Jianlong returned to normal and asked with a smile.

"Yes, I have something to do in Shenzhen, and I want to bring some gifts home." Lu Shaohua nodded and admitted that going back to Shenzhen was not a secret, and there was no need to hide it from Yang Jianlong. "Oh! By the way, if you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten. Can the car be driven over there?"

"The car can be driven back, but it will be more troublesome to go through customs. How about this? I have nothing to do anyway, so I'll follow you to Shenzhen and enjoy the feeling of riding in a Mercedes-Benz." Yang Jianlong thought about it. It was indeed more troublesome to drive a Hong Kong-licensed car back to the country at this time. It had to go through layers of review, but Yang Jianlong had acquaintances at the customs, so it was relatively convenient to go through customs, so he asked to go with them.

Lu Shaohua also knew that Yang Jianlong had connections in the customs. Although Yang Jianlong did not reveal the secret, Lu Shaohua was a man that he could guess the key to the matter. He smiled. "I have a companion on the road, hahaha."

……

Lu Shaohua and Yang Jianlong were chatting in the hall, and before they knew it, it was noon. They were about to go out for lunch when Liu Mingzhang came back unexpectedly. Originally, they were already in the process of making arrangements for the day, so Liu Mingzhang couldn't get away. But Lu Shaohua had to go back to Shenzhen, and as his "subordinate", he should come and see him off, so he took out a little time and hurried back.

"Well, Mr. Liu is back. We were just about to have dinner. You've come just in time. Let's go together." Seeing Liu Mingzhang sweating profusely, he must have come back in a hurry. Knowing that he had this intention, Lu Shaohua valued him even more.

"Okay." Liu Mingzhang didn't waste any words. He wiped the sweat from his forehead with his hand and nodded in agreement.

"Oh! By the way, you don't know each other yet?" Lu Shaohua pointed at Liu Mingzhang and Yang Jianlong and said. In fact, Lu Shaohua asked knowingly. Liu Mingzhang and Yang Jianlong had never met, so how could they know each other?

After seeing the two nod, Lu Shaohua patted his forehead. "Haha, look at my memory. Let me introduce them to you. This is Mr. Yang Jianlong, my father's partner, and this is my friend Mr. Liu Mingzhang."

"Nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you."

Liu Mingzhang and Yang Jianlong both stretched out their hands and shook hands.

"Haha, Mr. Yang is the big boss. You can go to him if you have any problems." Lu Shaohua immediately became interested and went to Yang Jianlong to talk.

"Hey, Xiaohua, stop making fun of me. I'm a big boss. If it weren't for your family, there wouldn't be Yang Jianlong today." Yang Jianlong's words were indeed from the bottom of his heart. Without Lu Shaohua's family, there would be no Yang Jianlong today.

"Haha, don't say that. Oh, let's not talk about this today. Let's go eat first and talk while we eat." Since Yang Jianlong said so, Lu Shaohua felt embarrassed to make fun of him anymore, so he changed the topic to eating.

"Well, man is iron and food is steel. Filling your stomach is the most important thing." Chen Guobang, who appeared behind everyone at some point, suddenly interrupted without any reason.

"Hahaha, what are you waiting for? Let's drive away." Lu Shaohua laughed.

……

The car stopped at a restaurant not far from the villa area. The four found a relatively quiet place to sit down. Lu Shaohua picked up the menu and ordered two of his favorite dishes. Then he passed the menu to others to order...

The restaurant was quite efficient. Soon, eight dishes and a soup were served. The four of them ate and chatted, and it took them a full hour to finish the meal. It was already two o'clock in the afternoon when they finished. Liu Mingzhang was in a hurry to go back to buy stocks, so he left in a hurry.

Lu Shaohua saw that there was nothing to do and that all the things were placed in the trunk of the car, so they could set off directly to Shenzhen. So after Liu Mingzhang left, he said, "Let's go."

"Okay, I'll drive." Chen Guobang nodded, took out the car keys from his pocket and walked towards the car.
