Chapter 2276
Simulated Cellular Era
He was genuinely afraid that Lou Xiao'e would abandon him in the future.
Seeing Su Manyun appear to pick them up, He Daqing finally felt relieved.
"Grandpa, you must be tired from your journey." Su Manyun stepped forward and politely greeted He Daqing.
The driver next to him took the suitcase from He An's hands.
"Thank you for your help, Miss Su."
"In the midst of your busy schedule, you still troubled me to come and pick me up in person." He Daqing rarely spoke so earnestly.
Su Manyun looked He Daqing up and down in surprise.
When did this old man become so serious?
He Daqing used to call her "Little Su Su" without any regard for the consequences.
Those close to Lou Xiao'e were well aware of He Daqing's frivolous nature.
Of course, although He Daqing liked to talk big, he never actually slept with the people right next to him.
Therefore, the original Su Manyun also regarded He Daqing as a playful old man.
Let him gain the upper hand verbally; it won't hurt him.
Just like Su Manyun addressed He Daqing as "Old Master" earlier, it was also slightly teasing.
Who would have thought that He Daqing wouldn't answer?
She smiled and led the group outside.
Su Manyun is reliable; this time, she arranged two cars to pick up He Daqing.
The two cars split up, and Su Manyun, sitting in the front passenger seat, turned to He Daqing and asked, "Mr. He, shall we take you home, or somewhere else?"
He Daqing was silent for a while before asking with difficulty, "Does Zhuzi know that I came back today?"
Su Manyun nodded and smiled, "I called Mr. He yesterday, and he said he knew."
These words made He Daqing's heart sink again.
He didn't understand whether He Yuzhu was being emotional when he said he knew.
Although he was aggressive and domineering on Hong Kong Island, he thought he would come back and teach Ho Yu-chu a lesson.
We need to let that fool know that no matter how old I am, I'm still his father.
But when the moment comes, he always gets a chill down his spine.
If he weren't guilty, he wouldn't have dragged He An, who was about to take his final exams, back with him.
The key issue is that He Yuzhu doesn't follow the rules when doing things.
Such a high-ranking principal, yet he always resorts to thuggish tactics against an old man like him.
She would threaten to go to his mother's grave to complain at the drop of a hat.
How is He Daqing supposed to play this game?
"Is that pretty young girl in the car behind He Sheng's second daughter?"
"It's so beautiful. Mr. He will be very happy to see it." Su Manyun changed the subject when she saw He Daqing staring blankly.
These words gave He Daqing renewed courage.
He did take care of one or two important matters during his trip to Hong Kong Island.
Even if He Yuzhu holds him accountable, his daughter-in-law Liu Ting will probably say a few fair words for him, since he deserves credit for bringing his granddaughter back.
"Let's go to the pillar!" He Daqing said to Su Manyun after mentally preparing himself.
He was now quite glad that he had brought He An back; otherwise, he really wouldn't have had the confidence to go to his son's house.
Upon hearing the news of her daughter's return, Liu Ting went home immediately.
Mother and daughter met, tears streaming down their faces.
Although he wasn't treated to a particularly warm welcome by He Daqing, it did put He Daqing at ease.
"Where's my dad?" After meeting with his grandmother, He An subconsciously asked Liu Ting.
This also revealed what He Daqing most wanted to ask.
After all, He Daqing would always feel uneasy if he didn't meet with He Yuzhu.
"I was called to a meeting by the post and telecommunications authorities," Liu Ting replied casually.
"Huh?!" He An's face immediately fell.
She bought so many things that her father could use, but she couldn't give them to him right away, which made her very disappointed.
The girl has grown up and has her own little schemes. She bought so many things, partly to help Guo Shumiao empty He Daqing's pocket.
But most importantly, she wanted to show her respect to He Yuzhu and, while He Yuzhu was in a good mood, offer some suggestions about her future.
To put it bluntly, she didn't want to be like her sister, who returned from her studies and stayed in Beijing to get married and have children.
Those days were so predictable and boring for her.
He Yuzhu was planning to send her to the south, but he hadn't discussed it with her beforehand.
Therefore, He An was not very confident.
"Isn't Zhu Zi an industrial worker? What kind of meeting did the post office send him to?" He Daqing asked with timely concern.
Unlike He An's disappointment, He Daqing was genuinely relieved.
With He Yuzhu gone, he can hold out for a few days.
Perhaps He Yuzhu will forget about his misdeeds in Hong Kong Island once he gets busy.
"I don't know, it seems like he was asked to discuss something about honeycomb briquettes."
"Dad, he's the principal, he manages everything, but he's not good at anything," Liu Ting said with a hint of smugness, followed by a complaint.
"Honeycomb briquettes?" He Daqing didn't understand either; what were they?
"It should be a simulation of cellular communication, right?" He An, who was comforting his grandmother, suddenly asked.
Yes, yes, yes.
This should be it.
"It's said that high technology has to be imported from abroad." Liu Ting suddenly realized.
Seeing that He Daqing still didn't quite understand, He An explained to him, "It's a common communication base station in Hong Kong."
Some car phones use that technology.
In China, telephone communication still relies on manual or mechanical switching at exchange stations to make calls.
If we import that technology, we can also install car phones in our domestic cars.
Just as He An explained at home.
Fragrant Hills, Symposium on the Simulated Cellular Era
He Yuzhu was invited as an industrial consultant.
He Yuzhu has now reached a point where he attends meetings everywhere.
He would always receive an invitation to any civilian or industrial seminar.
Of course, whether He Yuzhu goes or not generally depends on the importance of the meeting and the department that is holding it.
He Yuzhu could have skipped this seminar.
He really knew nothing about the professions involved.
Even if you were listening from below, you wouldn't understand a few words.
But he had to come.
There's nothing else to it; China wanted to introduce 1G technology, and the He Group was the best middleman.
Currently, the Asian distributor for iTelecom and Motorola is a telecommunications company under Lou Xiao'e's name.
Therefore, whether for public or private reasons, He Yuzhu hoped that this seminar would go well.
Technological matters are always changing rapidly.
In the blink of an eye, we're already discussing entering the era of analog communication.
If this term is not easy to understand, then pagers and mobile phones are representative products of this era.
Contrary to popular belief, China actually entered the analog cellular era quite early.
We introduced this technology to Guangzhou in 1983.
Then, in-vehicle telephone communication was implemented in several major cities.
So this whole thing wasn't caused by He Yuzhu, that little butterfly flapping its wings.
Rather, our family has truly reached this point. (End of Chapter)
