Chapter 2310
I'll pay for your peanuts
With a bewildered expression, Xu Damao boarded the train back to Beijing.
He didn't have any interaction with He Xinghua that day.
Even Xu Shengli went to the village to help out, let alone him, who was definitely an outsider.
He simply stood to the side, observing He Xinghua's appearance, movements, and expressions, wondering who this person resembled most.
He could hardly remember what Lou Xiao'e looked like.
After all, he was still young when they met, and they never considered it as a romantic relationship.
Furthermore, it was thanks to Ho Yu-chu's timely intervention that Tan Ya-li was able to go to Hong Kong Island before she even had the idea of choosing a son-in-law for her daughter.
In the previous life, the marriage alliance between the Xu family and the Lou family was definitely initiated by the Lou family.
If Lou Bancheng and Tan Yali hadn't harbored those intentions, even if Xu Damao looked like a celebrity, he wouldn't have had that chance.
That's all in the past.
Xu Damao always felt that this young tycoon was probably similar to an acquaintance of his.
In fact, He Xinghua is quite handsome, much more so than He Yuzhu.
But ever since he met He Yuzhu, he has developed a great deal of admiration for his biological father.
Therefore, they unconsciously began to imitate each other in their speech and actions.
This is also why Xu Damao felt a sense of familiarity.
But that's just how things are; it's often the case that you see the darkest spot.
Xu Damao thought of many people who might have had contact with the Lou family back then, but he couldn't come up with the right answer—He Yuzhu.
However, when he got home and picked up the phone to ask He Yuzhu out for drinks, his mind went completely blank.
The correct answer just went into his head.
"What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"
"You went to the South, not Thailand, so why are you staring at me like that?" He Yuzhu grinned and teased, casually pulling out the bottle of wine he hadn't finished last time from the cupboard.
Once the bottle of wine has been opened, it should definitely be drunk first.
Xu Damao did not answer, but stared intently at He Yuzhu's eyes and brows.
Actually, he had been thinking of asking the question ever since he entered He Yuzhu's house.
But he really didn't know how to say it.
Just like Xu Shengli's confusion.
He also couldn't find any connection between He Yuzhu and Lou Xiao'e.
Although he did not accompany He Yuzhu throughout his growth.
But since both of them live in Beijing, it seems there are no special circumstances surrounding their feud.
He Yuzhu poured the wine, and Xu Damao, holding his wine cup, hesitated before saying, "Brother Zhu, I saw some acquaintances in the south this time."
"Who is it?" He Yuzhu asked casually.
"Do you still remember Chairman Lou, Lou Bancheng, from the steel rolling mill?" Xu Damao's eyes never left He Yuzhu's face as he said this.
He was trying to observe things to find some clues.
But who is He Yuzhu?
That's a seasoned veteran who's been around the block for a long time.
Furthermore, his relationship with Lou Xiao'e and the people around him basically all knew about it.
In other words, Xu Damao didn't need to know, so He Yuzhu never told him.
So He Yuzhu simply said calmly, "I remember! Is there a problem?"
Hasn't he been dead for a long time?
Did you see him in the south?
hehe···"
“I saw his grandson, who is also the child of his daughter Lou Xiao’e, named He Xinghua.”
That young man's speaking rhythm and facial expression are very similar to yours! Xu Damao said this with a nervous expression.
He was also afraid that his wild thoughts would upset He Yuzhu.
He Yuzhu paused, narrowed his eyes at Xu Damao, his expression turning gloomy, and sneered in a sinister tone, "You found out?"
It seems I can't keep you here any longer!
Upon hearing this, Xu Damao got goosebumps all over his body.
His hand trembled slightly, and some wine spilled from the cup in his hand.
He Yuzhu burst into laughter, instantly dispelling the chilly atmosphere in the room. He Yuzhu chuckled, "You went to the South, and now you're such a coward."
It's perfectly normal for people to speak with a similar accent.
You haven't seen me at work yet, otherwise you'd think I'm a lot like your factory manager.
What does that prove?
"But that young man's surname is He." Xu Damao breathed a sigh of relief, his suspicions about He Yuzhu completely dissipating.
But I couldn't help but say something.
"Surname He?"
"I don't know him," He Yuzhu said, shaking his head.
He did not intend to hide the fact that He Xinghua was his father.
But since Xu Damao couldn't be sure, he didn't bother to confirm it.
After all, if he were to reveal that He Xinghua was his son, he would have to explain a lot of things.
For example, how he got involved with Lou Xiao'e in the first place.
"Does that child look like me?" He Yuzhu asked in return.
Xu Damao nodded, then shook his head.
After thinking for a while, he said, "The temperament and demeanor are very similar, but I can't see the face clearly."
"Let's drink, let's drink..." He Yuzhu said, raising his glass.
Since Xu Damao couldn't be sure, He Yuzhu didn't intend to bring it up himself.
This is no longer a reason that is difficult to explain.
Instead, He Yuzhu waited for Xu Damao to discover it himself.
It's also a lot of fun to tease your best friend who you grew up with.
"By the way, Brother Zhu."
I discovered a great business opportunity over there.
Home appliances and motorcycles over there are incredibly cheap!
"Do you think I can do this?" Xu Damao was still not giving up and continued to probe He Yuzhu.
He Yuzhu picked up his wine glass, took a small sip, and said with a cold smile, "If you want to die, then go ahead and do it."
Don't worry, if your wife and kids refuse to pay for the peanuts, I'll pay for them.
Xu Damao was startled again. He asked anxiously, "Is it that serious?"
He Yuzhu clinked glasses with the other person, drank it all in one gulp, and then said, "Whose money are you making from your stall on Xiushui Street?"
"It's the customers' money!" Xu Damao replied casually.
"Bullshit, you're making money off the toy factory."
If it weren't for the shady dealings at the toy factory, would you have made that much money?
"Can you earn enough to buy that motorcycle outside?" He Yuzhu asked bluntly.
Xu Damao couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
He knew that He Yuzhu was telling the truth.
If it weren't for the shady dealings at the toy factory warehouse, he wouldn't even have a source of goods, let alone make any money.
"Then who do you think the people who deal in those electrical appliances are making money from?" He Yuzhu asked again.
Xu Damao suddenly became clever and pointed upwards.
He Yuzhu nodded, then said seriously, "The higher-ups need this to pay our salaries and to upgrade the equipment for the comrades in the army."
Build roads, provide electricity and water, construct houses.
Do you think the higher-ups will let you off the hook if you did that?
He Yuzhu was simply stating a very simple principle.
Blocking someone's path to wealth is like killing their parents.
That's how it is for me personally.
In a large group, there is no difference.
"hiss……
Does that mean I shouldn't do business on Xiushui Street either? Xu Damao drew inferences from this example! (End of Chapter)
