Siheyuan: I am different He Yuzhu

"Xiao He, do you usually eat so much? Won't your colleagues be suspicious of you having such a big appetite?" Seeing He Yuzhu eating non-stop, Lou Bingcheng suddenly realized the problem of He Yuzhu's appetite that he had overlooked before, so he asked.

"Dad, when I first started working at the steel plant, I only had one meal at noon in the factory. It's normal for a tall man like me to eat more than others, so I controlled myself to eat only half full in the factory. Anyway, I could eat more at home in the morning and at night, so I just had a quick meal at noon. Later, after I got married to Xiao'e, I stopped cooking in the cafeteria. I had to go home to cook for Xiao'e every day at noon, and no one paid attention to my appetite. The people who came here on a business trip with me this time are all my subordinates, and in front of them I only ate until I was 70% to 80% full, and didn't eat as much as I wanted. The key point is that we are all short of food now. The factory gave us a subsidy for this business trip, and they ate a lot, so as a result, my appetite is not very noticeable." He Yuzhu explained while eating.

"It's really hard for you. If you were born a few hundred years earlier, you would definitely be a marquis or a general." Lou Bingcheng said with regret. He looked at He Yuzhu's sturdy figure and honest face, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. If He Yuzhu lived in ancient times, with his physique and temperament, he would definitely be a general who was feared by all, and he might even be a marquis or a general, bringing honor to his family. However, the reality is so cruel. Today's society no longer needs such force. He Yuzhu can only work hard in modern society. Fortunately, He Yuzhu did not feel frustrated or lost because of this. He still maintained an optimistic and positive attitude and continued to pursue his goals and dreams.

"It's a good time now. When I was young, I wanted to join the army and serve the motherland. Unfortunately, plans can't keep up with changes. When I grew up, my father left my brother and me in Baoding. If it weren't for taking care of my sister, I would have joined the army at the age of 16." He Yuzhu said with a smile. He recalled his childhood dream. At that time, he was full of love for the country and the army, and longed to serve the motherland and defend his homeland. However, fate made him take another path. Although he did not realize his original dream, he still felt proud and satisfied.

"Gold shines everywhere. Xiao He, you have done well even though you didn't join the army. You are already a deputy department-level cadre at such a young age. If you continue to develop like this, you will definitely have a place in the ministry in the future. In ancient times, you would be considered a senior official of the court." Lou Bingcheng said with a smile. He appreciated He Yuzhu's achievements and believed that He Yuzhu would have greater room for development in the future. Although He Yuzhu did not choose to join the army, he achieved remarkable results through his own efforts and talents, showing extraordinary leadership and talent.

"Okay, Dad, I'm done. Let's go." During their conversation, He Yuzhu had unknowingly eaten all the food on the table, not even a drop of soup was left. Then he burped contentedly and said to Lou Bingcheng.

Lou Bingcheng glanced at the plate with only some juice left on it and couldn't help laughing. Then he waved and shouted to the waiter in the distance: "Waiter, check out."

At this time, the young man who initially received them came over quickly, with a warm smile on his face, and said to Lou Bingcheng: "Hello, sir, your total consumption is 75 yuan."

While taking out his wallet from his pocket, Lou Bingcheng said to the waiter with a smile, "Young man, I'm not lying to you. The two of us can finish all these dishes, and there's no waste at all." After that, he counted out the corresponding Hong Kong dollars from his wallet and handed it to the waiter.

The waiter took the money handed over by Lou Bingcheng with both hands, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and said with a smile: "This sir has a really good appetite! Please wait a moment, I will go to the counter to give you the change. Please wait a moment." After that, he turned and walked towards the counter.

While the waiter was at the counter, He Yuzhu suddenly thought of something and asked, "By the way, Dad, are you coming to Baiyun City alone this time? Why don't you see your secretary or assistant?"

Lou Bingcheng smiled and said, "Yes, I came to Baiyun City alone this time. I participated in this export commodity trade fair mainly to visit and see if there are any new products. If I come across a suitable product, I will arrange for someone to purchase it after returning to Hong Kong. There is no need to sign a contract directly at the trade fair. It is also very convenient to get to Baiyun City from Hong Kong. In Hong Kong, you only need to take a bus to the port of Pengcheng, and then take a train in Pengcheng to reach Baiyun City directly. The whole journey takes only three or four hours."

He Yuzhu nodded to show that he understood, and then he remembered something. He frowned and said, "Dad, I remember reading in the newspaper that Lingnan Province suffered a drought two years ago. I wonder if your side of Hong Kong has been affected? If Hong Kong also encounters a drought like the mainland, it will be a problem for so many people to get water!"

"If you hadn't mentioned this, I really wouldn't have noticed it. Let me think about it, it seems that there really isn't much impact on Hong Kong. After all, Hong Kong has a small population and little arable land, and most of the food is imported from outside, so I really haven't paid attention to this." Lou Bingcheng frowned and thought for a while, then said.

After hearing what Lou Bingcheng said, He Yuzhu was secretly delighted. He felt that his plan was promising. So, he struck while the iron was hot and said, "Dad, I suddenly thought of a good business. Listen, I remember that there seems to be no big rivers in Hong Kong. With the increase of population in Hong Kong in the future, so many people will gather in the city. Water supply will definitely be a problem. What do you think about us selling water from Lingnan Province to Hong Kong? This will definitely generate a lot of foreign exchange for the country every year!"

He Yuzhu's words made Lou Bingcheng's eyes light up. He didn't expect He Yuzhu to come up with such an idea. After thinking carefully, he nodded and said, "Xiao He, what's wrong with your brain? You can come up with such a good idea. Although your idea is good, it involves many aspects. After I return to Hong Kong, I will find out about this matter from the relevant departments in Hong Kong. If it is feasible, I will report this matter and strive to implement it as soon as possible."

He Yuzhu was very happy to see that Lou Bingcheng agreed with his idea. He smiled and said, "Okay, then you have to hurry up and do this when you go back. If you are late, it will be bad if someone else brings it up first."

Seeing He Yuzhu so anxious, Lou Bingcheng smiled and comforted him, "Don't worry, Xiao He, I will definitely keep this matter in mind. If this matter can be accomplished, it will be a good thing for the country and the people. I will definitely do my best."
