Siheyuan works as a nanny for Shazhu

Chapter 169 Negotiations Failed

Lou Zhenhua also nodded. Lou Xiaoe was not happy and said, "I didn't agree at first, but you guys said every day how good he was. He was tall, good-looking, had no family burden, was capable, had a bright future, and was even mentioned in the newspapers several times. You praised him to the skies. He even shamelessly pursued you, but you said there was no chance."

Lou Zhenhua and Lou Tan looked at each other. Lou Tan took Lou Xiao'e's hand and said, "Xiao'e, your father and I didn't expect that people would look at us as soon as we started to move.

According to what you said, if the letter was really written by him, he should know something about our family situation. Unless you have a really deep relationship, there is a chance. But we haven't even started yet, so where is the relationship? Alas."

"Mom, you guys..." Lou Xiao'e stood up with a frustrated look on her face, kicked her feet on the spot, turned around and ran upstairs. Lou Tan said, "I'll go up and take a look." Lou Zhenhua nodded, stood up and went to the study room;

After thinking about it, I felt a little bit of evil interest, so I took out some old newspapers and started cutting them with scissors. Soon, a letter was ready.

He called Lou Hu and handed him the letter: "Give the letter to Jiang Feng, don't show up, and see if he will come to my house at nine o'clock tomorrow night."

"What if he doesn't come?"

"Then go and invite him. It's rare to meet such an interesting person."

"Yes, sir."

That night, Jiang Feng heard some noises near the window. When he got up to check, he only saw a letter. He looked out the window and saw nothing. He picked up the letter and read it. There were a few Chinese characters on the envelope. Jiang Feng took it and opened it. There was a piece of white letter paper with words cut from newspapers on it:

My dear friend Jiang Feng, I am writing to you and I am glad to see you. Please come to my house for a chat at 9 o'clock tomorrow evening. I will not reveal your full name.

Jiang Feng looked at the letter, turned it over and read it from front to back. He muttered something about how he was too old to be playing childish tricks. He threw the letter into the space and continued to sleep.

Nothing happened that day. At 8 o'clock in the evening, Jiang Feng finished his meal and said he was going out for a walk and would not come over in the evening. He Yuzhu did not care, but gave him a menu and planned to prepare two or three dishes. He also told Director Wang that he would go and invite Director Li.

Jiang Feng took a look, these dishes are not easy to get outside, but it happened that he found someone tonight, and if others couldn't get it, he would definitely have no problem. He took the menu and went out of the courtyard, walking and stopping along the way. Lou Hu watched Jiang Feng go out, he didn't ride a bike today, so he could only follow behind, anyway, he would go to invite people at nine o'clock.

Around 8:30, Jiang Feng entered an alley, went around several alleys and came out again, but Lou Hu couldn't find him anymore. It was not that Jiang Feng had discovered him, but that he was preparing to change his clothes and dress up.

At nine o'clock, Lou Hu stood in the yard of the Lou family with a depressed look on his face. A man wearing a hat, glasses and a mask came over and knocked on the door. Lou Hu hurriedly stepped forward to open the door, and when he saw the man, he took two steps back and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

The man took off his glasses and mask, grinned, and Lou Hu stepped forward and said, "Please."

Jiang Feng put on his glasses and walked in with a swagger. Into the inner room, Lou Zhenhua and Lou Tan were sitting in the living room drinking tea. Seeing someone coming in, Lou Zhenhua stood up and said, "I am very grateful for your kindness. If you have any request, I will do my best to help you."

"Oh, that's great, Director Lou. I have a menu here. Just help me find two or three dishes."

Lou Zhenhua was stunned. This was not in line with common sense, but he still reached out and took the menu that Jiang Feng mentioned. He opened it and took a look. It was indeed a menu, but the ingredients were a little scarce and difficult to find now. However, other dishes of the Lou family might not have them, but how could they not prepare a few more copies of the ingredients for making Tan family dishes?

Lou Zhenhua handed the menu in his hand to Lou Tanshi, extended his hand to invite Jiang Feng to sit down, and said: "Sir, I appreciate your kindness. I invited you here today because I want to ask you for advice."

"Director Lou, you don't have to be so polite. Just call me Xiao Jiang. But don't think these ingredients are unimportant. Money is a small matter. The main thing is that I don't have the channels to buy them. Even if I buy them, I don't know whether they are real or fake. Director Lou has helped me a lot."

Lou Tan chuckled and said, "Don't be so literary. I saw Xiao Jiang's menu and wondered if he wanted to make Tan's dishes. I happen to have some at home. I'll pack two portions for Xiao Jiang later."

"Okay, thank you, Madam Lou. I didn't expect that Madam Lou also knows Tan's cuisine. You can tell at a glance."

When Lou Tan saw Jiang Feng agreed readily, she covered her mouth and laughed as she knew there was something Jiang Feng didn't know. Lou Zhenhua also laughed heartily. Jiang Feng pretended not to know and looked puzzled.

Lou Zhenhua handed over a cigarette and asked Lou Tan to pour tea. Then he smiled and said to Jiang Feng, "My wife's surname is Tan, the Tan in Tan's cuisine."

"Oh, then I'm really showing off my skills today. I heard from my uncle that the He family's cuisine is the Tan family's cuisine passed down from their ancestors, but I didn't ask which master they learned it from."

Lou Tan brought the tea over, Jiang Feng stood up and took it with both hands. Lou Tan said, "In the Forty-Nine City, besides the Tan family, there are only three senior brothers, Peng Changhai, Cui Minghe and Wu Xiuquan. I wonder which senior brother the He family is following?"

"I really don't know. My uncle has been in Baocheng for more than ten years. I don't know if my cousin knows about it."

"Okay, you can ask Master He about your little thing when you have time. But Master He's cooking skills are really good. I have also eaten the dishes made by Master He in the factory. They are mainly Sichuan cuisine."

"Yes, my cousin was a disciple of Guo Mingsheng when he was young. He is the chef of Fengzeyuan and specializes in Sichuan cuisine. Director Lou, why don't we find a quieter place?"

"please."

Lou Zhenhua took Jiang Feng upstairs and into the study. They sat opposite each other. Lou Zhenhua said, "Then I am being too arrogant. Xiao Jiang, how did you know about Xu Damao? This kind of thing is private after all. When Xu Damao went for the checkup, he didn't even know about it."

"I'm not afraid of being laughed at by Director Lou. How would I know? I just saw that he looked pale every time he came back from the countryside, and I thought he must have done something stupid in the countryside. I deliberately made it sound more serious, otherwise I was afraid you wouldn't take it seriously."

Lou Zhenhua was speechless for a moment. Maybe he didn't know, or maybe he didn't want to say it. If he didn't want to say it, forget it. He opened his mouth and asked, "Xiao Jiang, Xiao'e cried several times because of you. At that time, I thought of finding someone with a good background. Who knew that I would find such a person and almost harm Xiao'e."

"Director Lou"

"Xiao Jiang, just call me uncle. It's my fault. I discovered you three years ago, but you were too high-profile at that time. You know, our family is not suitable for high-profile publicity. When there was no impact recently, I didn't know you would go on a blind date."

Jiang Feng could only smile bitterly. The man in front of him was not like Lou Bancheng, who was a powerful figure in the city. He was just a father who cared about his daughter. He glanced at Lou Zhenhua and said, "Uncle, you are wrong. In fact, I think it is better for Miss Xiao'e not to get married. Even if you came to me three years ago, I would not agree."

"Why? Is there something wrong with Xiao'e? Why don't you agree? You are capable and you are a martyr's relative. In this day and age, everyone will look up to you. I believe you can take good care of Xiao'e."

"Uncle, you think too simply. I wonder how you feel about your life now. Let me tell you what I think first. I see that you are picked up and dropped off by cars, live in a garden villa, eat delicacies from the mountains and the sea, and wear silk and satin. I wonder if you have seen the ordinary people outside?"

After hearing what Jiang Feng said, Lou Zhenhua hunched over and began to sweat. Jiang Feng was right. He had lived such a good life, but he was used to it and didn't notice it before, and no one dared to say anything. But today, when Jiang Feng pointed it out, he naturally felt that something was wrong. Ordinary people outside had a hard time even getting a meal, and Lou Zhenhua naturally knew this.

Lou Zhenhua thought for a moment and said, "There are more than one such company in the city. I know of more than 20 such companies. Are all of them going to have to..."

Jiang Feng reached out his hand to stop Lou Zhenhua from continuing, "Uncle, it's good that you know. If you had sent Xiao'e to the factory a few years earlier and found a worker to marry her, her class status would have been lower. Maybe it would have been better. But it's too late now. I believe that with your connections, you should know more than me."

"Is there really no other way?" Lou Zhenhua said to himself. In fact, he had already made a plan. The Lou family has always been in contact with the outside world. Judging from the letters from there, things are not going well either. It's too chaotic.

"Uncle, I wonder what kind of books you usually read. Have you read "Records of the Grand Historian: The Family of Jin"?"

"You are talking about the story of Shen Sheng and Chong Er, where can it go?"

"Nan Fang, I believe that with your uncle's ability, it will not be a problem to rebuild the family business. I came here today to talk about this matter. Please consider it."

"If it really comes to this, Xiao Jiang, is there no other way?"

Jiang Feng shook his head and continued, "In fact, if it weren't for Miss Xiao'e, the Lou family would have nothing to do with me. Since I saved her once by accident, I also wanted to save her to the end, so I leaked the matter of Xu Damao."

Lou Zhenhua sat there, thinking about what Jiang Feng said, and suddenly said: "Thank you very much. I don't know what you want, Jiang Xiaoyou. Please speak frankly. There are not many things I can't get in Sijiu City."

Jiang Feng heard Lou Zhenhua's address change, and he sat up straight. He knew that if he didn't ask for anything, why would others trust him? He said, "Please forgive me, Director Lou. I like antiques and paintings. I believe that if the Lou family really wants to leave, most of these things will definitely not be able to be taken away. I came here today to make a deal with Director Lou."

"Deal, if that's the case, then I'll be frank. Your bargaining chips are not enough. Just the news of your departure is not enough to make me decide to leave. And whether what you said is true or not, I will naturally find someone to confirm it."

"Director Lou, I have two things to say today. The first is about Ling Qianjin's matter. Now that it has been made clear, I believe Director Lou will not force you to do anything. The second is just to give you some advice. Since Director Lou thinks the chips are not enough, you can wait and see. That's all I have to say. I'll take my leave now."

After Jiang Feng finished speaking, he stood up and walked out. After opening the door, he saw the man who opened the door standing three steps away from the door. He glanced at him and went downstairs. Lou Hu saw Jiang Feng coming out, looked at the door of the study, and saw the master sitting inside without saying a word, so he turned around and went downstairs to see Jiang Feng out.
