Siheyuan: A Family of Loyal and Brave People

Seeing that James was very frightened, Cheng Hao did not continue to make things difficult for him. He told the doctor and went to look for his injured comrades.

James, who was forced to retreat to the wall, did not provoke again until Cheng Hao's figure completely disappeared, and then he slowly relaxed. He did not expect that his luck was so bad that he actually ran into someone who could understand English. While lamenting, he paid more attention to Cheng Hao.

There are not many people in the whole city who can understand English. James couldn't even find anyone to complain to and was almost suffocated.

Ignoring James's little thoughts, Cheng Hao came to the ward where the soldiers of the Seventh Company were recuperating and expressed his concern and greetings to these injured soldiers.

"Captain, can you talk to the doctor and let me be discharged from the hospital early?

Staying in the hospital for so long, my body is almost rusty." A young man with bandages on his hands and crutches asked Cheng Hao.

The country will not treat its heroes unfairly. The military hospital where the injured soldiers of the 702nd Regiment are staying is among the best in the country, and the medical staff take meticulous care of them.

But soldiers who have been on the battlefield for many years still don't like staying in the hospital.

Rather than smelling the smell of disinfectant in the hospital, they would rather return to the training ground to exercise and recover as soon as possible.

“I hope you can come back sooner. There are only a few people in the company now, and it’s uncomfortable to see.

But there are some things that I have no say over.

To be discharged from the hospital, you still have to recover from your injuries and get the doctor's consent.

Chen Yu, don't worry. The company hasn't received any new soldiers yet, and there's still some time before they go to the battlefield. You should just rest and recover, don't worry."

What the wounded fear most is being abandoned. Cheng Hao is not a miracle doctor and cannot cure the disease with medicine. He can only try to comfort them.

Fortunately, most of the injured have recovered well and should be able to return in two or three months.

After visiting the wounded, Cheng Hao returned to the Seventh Company. On the first day after vacation, he encountered a thorny problem - the issue of manpower.

The war caused heavy casualties, and most of the trained recruits were added to the front-line troops. The 702nd Regiment, which was resting in the rear, could hardly get reinforcements in a short period of time, so it had to rely on itself to recruit personnel to train.

Including the wounded lying in the hospital, the Seventh Company was short of nearly 100 soldiers. For a moment, Cheng Hao really didn't know where to find so many people.

After thinking for a moment, Cheng Hao decided to return to the starting point.

Cheng Haogang had a great time in the hospital a few days ago. People in the nearby area should have heard of his reputation. I believe that many young people would like to join the army to serve the country and make achievements.

What Cheng Hao needs to do is to mobilize the masses as much as possible and then recruit suitable personnel into the company.

……

"Cheng Hao, why are you back?"

Yan Bugui looked at Cheng Hao in surprise and asked.

Cheng Hao just returned to the army to work yesterday, he shouldn't have come back so soon.

"There are some things that need to be dealt with back."

Cheng Hao did not explain too much, Yan Bugui could not help him. After all, Cheng Hao would not recruit elementary school students to join the army.

After entering the Intermediate Court, Cheng Hao went straight to He Daqing and asked directly: "Uncle He, do you know Lou Zhenhua, the director of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill?"

He Daqing looked at Cheng Hao's serious eyes, paused for a moment, nodded and replied: "I know him, I used to go to his house to help cook, I am a regular customer.

What do you want to see him for?"

"Our group is recruiting people now. I would like to ask Director Lou to help promote it. Do you think it is feasible?"

Cheng Hao already had a plan in mind, but he still wanted to hear He Daqing's opinion.

He Daqing frowned and fell into deep thought.

Cheng Hao's plan was simply to poach talents from the Red Star Steel Mill. If the workers went to join the army, who would do the work at the steel mill?

"Mr. Lou is a man of great righteousness, I believe he can understand you.

I can tell him what you said, but I can't guarantee anything else." He Daqing didn't dare to say anything, as there were some things he couldn't decide.

"That's all, thank you, Mr. He."

Cheng Hao just hopes that He Daqing can act as a matchmaker, and he has his own ideas about what to do next.

……

Cheng Hao didn't have to wait too long. The next day, he received a reply. Lou Zhenhua asked him out for a chat. The meeting place was set at Hongbinlou, the restaurant where He Yuzhu once learned cooking.

The suppression of capitalists in the country is not that serious yet. Besides, what Cheng Hao wants to talk about is serious business, which is aboveboard and does not need to be concealed.

I followed the waiter up to the private room on the third floor. As soon as the door opened, I saw a middle-aged man in a Zhongshan suit, with regular features, clear eyes, and capable temperament, sitting quietly in the main seat.

He Daqing, who was sitting next to him, was talking carefully.

Needless to say, this person is Lou Zhenhua, the owner of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill and a well-known industrialist in Beijing.

"Cheng Hao, you're here, come in quickly.

This is Mr. Lou from the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill.

Director Lou, this is Cheng Hao from our hospital."

He Daqing introduced each other, and Cheng Hao walked to the table slowly and said calmly, "Hello, Mr. Lou."

"Are you the combat hero who made first-class achievements?

It is true that heroes emerge from youth. "

Seeing Cheng Hao's extraordinary behavior, Lou Zhenhua couldn't help but admire him.

"Mr. Lou, you are too kind. I am just lucky to have come back alive from the battlefield. If we talk about heroes, those who sacrificed their lives for the country are more worthy of the word hero." Cheng Hao replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Lou Zhenhua nodded slightly and looked up to Cheng Hao even more.

Young people who have made great achievements but have remained calm and composed are indeed rare talents.

If Cheng Hao hadn't been affiliated with the military, Lou Zhenhua would have tried to recruit him. The more talents the better.

When the guests arrived, Lou Zhenhua raised his hand and told the waiter to serve the dishes quickly. No matter what happened, he had to fill his stomach first.

Hongbinlou is a famous restaurant in the city of Beijing. The cooking skills are impeccable and all the dishes are delicious. The three of them enjoyed their meal very much.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, we drank a cup of tea to rinse our mouths and started to talk about business.

“Comrade Cheng Hao, Daqing has already told me about your situation.

Every citizen has a share of responsibility for the rise and fall of his country.

Although the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill has limited resources, it is willing to do its best and fulfill its duties.

It’s just that the factory can’t make decisions for the workers, so I’d like you to come to the factory in person and explain things to the workers.”

Before Cheng Hao opened his mouth, Lou Zhenhua took the initiative to express his cooperation and took the lead.

Having been in the upper class for many years, Lou Zhenhua has extraordinary insight. He has long realized that the domestic environment will become increasingly severe for big capitalists like him.

Only by showing sincerity early and finding opportunities to share the country's worries can we protect ourselves.

Cheng Hao's arrival just provided convenience for Lou Zhenhua, and the two of them could benefit each other.

“Mr. Lou is a patriotic industrialist.

The country will never forget your contribution.”

Things went unexpectedly smoothly. Cheng Hao thought he would have to make a serious statement and use some other tricks to deal with Lou Zhenhua.

I didn't expect Lou Zhenhua to be so clear-headed, which saved me a lot of effort.

As long as Lou Zhenhua can remain wise and clear-headed, he should be able to live a peaceful life.
