He Daqing was a "business card" of the steel mill, so neither Director Yang nor Li Huaide wanted him to leave. However, with the coordination of the Beijing Hotel, they dared not stop him even if they were unwilling. Moreover, He Daqing also found He Yuzhu, a third-level chef, which was considered to be fair to them.

A few days passed in a flash. On Sunday, He Daqing led the way, followed by He Pingan and He Yuzhu, and the three of them rushed to the Lou family to "beg for forgiveness".

"Daqing, you're here early. Director He, your presence has made my humble home glorious." The He family was not here to settle accounts this time, so He Daqing informed Lou Bancheng in advance that the three of them would come to visit today. Lou Bancheng was also tactful and waited outside the door early.

"Director Lou, you are too modest. If your villa is your humble abode, then the one I live in will become a doghouse!" He Ping'an replied in a sarcastic tone.

"The public-private partnership has been going on for more than five years. I am now a shareholder. The name 'Director Lou' has long been a thing of the past!" Although Lou Bancheng was dissatisfied, the situation was stronger than he was. He could only avoid the important issues and use self-deprecating language to resolve the embarrassment.

"Zhuzi, what are you doing standing there like an idiot? Apologize now!" He Daqing kicked He Yuzhu, who was daydreaming beside him, and shouted angrily.

"Mr. Lou, I'm sorry for meddling in other people's business!" Under He Daqing's gaze, He Yuzhu could only apologize, but what he said...

"You are really energetic, much better than your brother Shi and Xiao'e. Why are you just standing there? Call for help!" Lou Bancheng was not obsessed with gains and losses, so he naturally would not take this matter seriously. He did not even mention it.

The two families then introduced their younger generations to each other, and the old routine of disparaging their own family and praising the other family's children was repeated. Then Lou Bancheng warmly welcomed the three members of the He family into the villa.

"Mr. Lou, my son is young and ignorant. I'm really sorry to have caused you trouble. I'm just a middle-class person and my cooking skills are acceptable. I've been bored recently and researched a few new dishes. I would like to invite you to taste them and give me some suggestions!" He Daqing knew that He Ping'an had something to discuss with Lou Bancheng, so after a few polite words, he made way for him.

“Daqing, I didn’t expect that you, a first-class chef, could be so innovative. Today I have to take a good look and learn a few tricks, so that my husband Lou won’t dislike my cooking! Xiao’e, you come and learn from me too!” Although she has been at home for many years, Lou Tan still has the necessary vision!

"Mr. Lou, do you know what a tornado is? It starts out as a tiny whirlwind, then slowly turns into a devastating storm. Wherever it passes, it can uproot even towering trees, let alone tiny humans like us."

"Some people say that the eye of a storm is a safe location, and there is some truth to that. But you know that people also know that if you encounter a storm, the eye of the storm will definitely be occupied by the strong and healthy. Mr. Lou, how is your health? Besides, as the storm moves, the eye of the storm will also move with it, which is difficult to predict. Therefore, the safest way to encounter a storm is to stay away from it."

"Of course, some people hide their heads because of fear, just like the little story I told Mr. Lou last time. They are trying to cover their ears and steal the bell, and escape from themselves. I thought Mr. Lou was a smart man, but now it seems that I thought too much. I warned you to follow the policy honestly, why did you insist on being smart?" After everyone left, He Pingan took off his disguise and scolded with a cold face.

"Lou is old and can't run anymore! As for 'being smart', I have always been following the policy. I don't know where the head is and why he said that." Lou Bancheng is an old man in the world, so he will not be scared by He Ping'an's appearance.

"Tu Feng, Jiang Ming, I have warned you long ago, but you still do what you want. Do you really think I dare not touch you? Now, you want to marry your daughter to Xu Damao. Don't tell you that you don't know what kind of person Xu Damao is. You just look at Xu Fugui and Xu Damao, they are greedy, lustful, and easy to control! I guess you have the handle on them, right?" Facing this old fox, He Pingan directly approached him and opened his mouth.

"Director He, I..." Lou Bancheng was about to argue when he was stopped by He Ping'an.

"Mr. Lou, I am not here today to accuse you. The reason I am saying all this nonsense is just to tell you that what you did is not as covert as you think. Your situation is not as safe as you think!"

"Forget it. I don't have the ability to wake up someone who is pretending to be asleep. I came here today to give you something to do, and by the way, I want to repay you for the favor you did me in the past! I can only tell you the specific situation after you agree! Think it over before answering."

"Uh... I wonder if what Director He asked me to do is life-threatening?" Although Lou Bancheng couldn't guess the purpose of He Ping'an's trip, judging from He Ping'an's tone, it shouldn't be a bad thing. However, to be on the safe side, he still asked the question that concerned him most.

"There is definitely danger, but it's not big!" He Pingan said concisely.

"It is my honor to work for the country, and I will do it without hesitation!" After receiving He Ping'an's assurance, Lou Bancheng made a prompt decision.

"First, come with me to the north, use your capitalist methods to corrupt officials and make friends with them. Then, go south to Hong Kong and Kowloon and do your old business there!" He Ping'an told his plan.

"Director He, should I stay in Hong Kong and Kowloon all the time, or...?" Lou Bancheng didn't want to die outside. If he had to stay in Hong Kong and Kowloon all the time, then why did he stay in the first place!

"Don't worry, we know the principle of returning to one's roots! We won't let you stay in Hong Kong forever, but you can't come back in the next few years." He Ping'an believed that when the wind started to blow in China, even if Lou Bancheng was allowed to come back, he would not come back.

"I will try my best..." Without any worries, Lou Bancheng began to show his loyalty.

"Okay, do you believe this? Remember to keep it a secret. Also, you can bring your family with you when you go to Hong Kong and Kowloon. However, I think Mr. Lou is a man who understands the rules and should know what to do! Also, donate the gold, silver and jewelry you have hidden with your relatives and servants, so as not to let people laugh at you for nothing!" Although Lou Bancheng agreed readily, he still had to give the warning, at least to ensure that there would be no problems before 1966.

"Don't worry, I'll just bring my wife with me when I go to Hong Kong and Kowloon. As for my son and Xiao'e, please take good care of them, Director He!" Lou Bancheng, who came from the old society, was very familiar with the hostage trick.

"I'm just asking you to show your attitude. If I didn't trust you, I wouldn't let you go to Hong Kong and Kowloon. I'll find an easier job for your son in the steel mill. As for Lou Xiao'e, the old people said, 'Women can hold up half the sky.'" After saying that, He Ping'an sighed secretly: Lou Xiao'e, I gave you a chance. What happens next depends on your own ability.

While He Ping'an and Lou Bancheng were talking, Lou Xiao'e was curiously looking at He Yuzhu who was standing at the door. That's right, He Yuzhu was standing. He Yuzhu was originally helping in the kitchen, but his chatterbox nature exploded, and he even complained that others were ungrateful. He was directly kicked out of the kitchen by He Daqing.

"You are He Yuzhu, you look so old!" Lou Xiao'e didn't know why, but she felt familiar with He Yuzhu at the first sight. Seeing that no one was paying attention, she started joking with him in a familiar manner.

"You are old, I am called steady, okay!" He Yuzhu glared at Lou Xiao'e and said unhappily

"Be steady, then why are you being punished to stand!" Lou Xiao'e's words hit the nail on the head

"Nonsense, who said I was punished? I was just basking in the sun. Read more newspapers when you have time. The newspapers all say that basking in the sun is good for your health, especially your eyes!" He Yuzhu has never been afraid of talking nonsense.

"So, this is why you are being punished!" Looking at He Yuzhu who refused to marry her many years ago, Lou Xiao'e did not intend to let him go easily.

"You, hum..." He Yuzhu was speechless. He snorted coldly and turned his head to the other side, ignoring Lou Xiaoe.
