Siheyuan: The beauty Xueru Huizhen, the birds are jealous

Director Yang smiled and explained, "It's Director Lou. He wants us to do him a small favor. I know you've had contact with him before, so I thought we should go together."

Yang Ming thought for a moment and felt that this was also a good opportunity to learn about the current situation of the Lou family, so he agreed.

He knew that the Lou family's stake in the steel mill had been greatly reduced, and now only a few nominal titles and some connections were left.

The Lou family was also quite aware of the current situation. Apart from retaining a small part of the industry, they voluntarily handed over most of it and actively cooperated with the country's public-private partnership policy.

Director Lou and his family even dismissed their servants and lived a low-key life. They obviously understood the importance of keeping a low profile.

When Yang Ming arrived at the agreed location, he found that in addition to himself and Director Yang, there were two other people - Sha Zhu and Xu Damao.

He noticed that Xu Damao had also brought a projection device and placed it in the trunk with great effort.

This scene made Yang Ming understand something: Xu Damao and Sha Zhu were not just visiting this time, but were serving as "assistants" responsible for the Lou family's dinner preparations and film screenings.

Although somewhat surprised, Yang Ming did not say much, but just followed everyone to the Lou family silently. He knew that this dinner tonight might bring him some unexpected gains.

When Director Yang and Yang Ming arrived, Xu Damao quickly adjusted his demeanor. He walked quickly forward, a flattering smile on his face, and greeted them enthusiastically.

As for Sha Zhu, who was standing aside, although he felt disdainful of Xu Damao's behavior, he also understood that he needed to maintain courtesy at this moment.

"Shazhu, Xu Damao," Director Yang said in a serious tone, "We are about to go to Director Lou's residence. You must remember your respective tasks. Xu Damao, you need to be responsible for playing the movie, and Shazhu will be responsible for preparing the meal.

饮。

This is not just a task, but also a recognition of your ability by the factory. As long as you perform well, there will be corresponding rewards. "

"Director, please rest assured." Xu Damao responded confidently, "As a projectionist, I am experienced and can ensure that everything goes smoothly."

Although Sha Zhu doesn't talk much, the confidence revealed in his eyes is no less than that.

He knew that his cooking skills were among the best in the steel mill, and this time when he went to Lou's house, he also had his own little

Plan - hope to bring back some precious ingredients for Qin Huairu.

Soon, two cars arrived at Director Lou's residence, an elegant small Western-style building.

It was the first time for Sha Zhu and Xu Damao to set foot in such a place, and the scene before them shocked them.

This two-story building is completely different from the courtyard houses they are familiar with. It is spacious and bright, with complete facilities, a lush garden and a quiet pavilion, making it seem like an isolated paradise.

However, this place was not unfamiliar to Yang Ming. He stared at the small building, but a trace of worry surged in his heart.

He knew very well that although the Lou family had given up the turmoil of the steel mill and other industries and chose to live a secluded life, in this era of differences, the gap in wealth and status could still arouse people's jealousy and dissatisfaction.

He understood that although many people knew that the Lou family's current treatment was the result of years of hard work, in the face of huge disparities, people tended to ignore the hard work behind it and only saw the superficial injustice.

Once this mentality spreads, it is likely to bring unpredictable troubles to the Lou family.

In Yang Ming's mind, the decline of the Lou family seemed to be an irreversible outcome.

Even without Xu Damao's intervention, the decline seemed inevitable. Lou Bancheng, a shrewd businessman, sensed the crisis in advance, but ultimately failed to touch the deep roots.

Today, the Lou family still maintains a superficial splendor in the small Western-style building, just like a child waving gold in a busy city, unknowingly attracting unnecessary attention.

Yang Ming's thoughts flowed quickly like water, and then he followed Director Yang into the threshold of the Lou family.

"Director Lou, I brought a special guest." Director Yang laughed heartily. Upon hearing the voice, Director Lou and his mother hurried out of the inner room to greet the distinguished guest.

Today's Lou family masters are different from the past, they appear to be particularly humble.

They understood that their family's glory days were a thing of the past, and today's dinner was only possible because of their old friendship.

"You are... Yang Ming, right?" Lou Bancheng recognized the young talent at a glance. He was impressed by Yang Ming and knew that this young man was the key figure in promoting the transformation of the steel mill. Today, Yang Ming not only holds an important position in the mill, but also has a pivotal position in the Ministry of Metallurgy. Even older entrepreneurs like him have to look up to him.

"Mr. Lou, long time no see." Yang Ming responded with a smile, with a bit of respect in his tone.

"It's my honor to invite you today." Director Yang introduced enthusiastically, "This is our factory's chef Sha Zhu, his father was the canteen's head chef He Daqing. I also specially invited our factory's projectionist Xu Damao, he will play a movie for us tonight."

Compared with Yang Ming's calmness, Xu Damao and Sha Zhu seemed a little restrained in front of Lou Bancheng.

They knew that the steel rolling mill where they worked was once the foundation of the Lou family. Although times have changed, the awe they felt was still deeply rooted in their hearts.

"Thank you both for your hard work." Lou Bancheng nodded slightly to Xu Damao and Sha Zhu, then signaled Lou's mother to lead them to prepare dinner.

After the two men left, Lou Bancheng led Director Yang and Yang Ming into the study on the second floor to continue their conversation.

Lou Bancheng sighed softly in the twilight: "Old Yang, time flies. The transformation of the steel rolling mill in recent years is so great that it can be said to be completely new." Although he has semi-retired from the business world, with his extensive network of contacts, he can still gain insight into many internal dynamics unknown to outsiders.

When Yang Ming heard this, his heart was a little disturbed, but he soon calmed down.

He knew very well that these changes were related to the flapping of his wings, but they were also inseparable from the wise leadership and insight of the factory director, Mr. Yang.

"Speaking of which, my position as factory director is also due to your many contributions, Yang Ming." Factory Director Yang turned to Lou Bancheng, and said with a hint of emotion, "If it weren't for his continuous progress, I'm afraid it would be difficult for me to keep my position."

However, Director Yang changed the subject and frowned slightly: "But, if I really have to transfer, Yang Ming here..." He seemed to be worried about Yang Ming's future.

Lou Bancheng naturally understood the profound meaning of this.

Although Deputy Factory Director Li appears to be low-key, the power behind him cannot be underestimated.

Although Yang Ming is talented, in the eyes of some people, he is young and focused on technology, and seems a little immature for such an important task as managing an entire steel mill.
