Chapter 478 The Lou family is a guest!

Lin Xuemei’s husband is a deputy director of the Ministry of Commerce. The couple has a total of two sons and a daughter, and they live in a living area under the Ministry of Commerce.

After receiving the New Year's goods, Lin Xuemei rode back home in a happy mood. When she walked into the house with a big bag, Lin Xuemei's daughter immediately rushed forward and asked Lin Xuemei: "Mom! Why are you doing this today? Coming back so late?"

Faced with her daughter's inquiry, Lin Xuemei put the bag in her hand on the table and said to her daughter with a smile: "Jiajia! Look, this is the new year's gift from mom. There are five kilograms of pork in it. Mom will give it to you later." Cut some off and cook a bowl of chili-fried meat as a toothpaste for you and your two brothers."

When Jiajia heard Lin Xuemei's words, she immediately reached out and opened the cloth bag on the table. When she saw the pork belly in the cloth bag, she urged Lin Xuemei happily: "Mom! Okay, my dad should be home by now, so you can go cook some vegetables."

When Lin Xuemei heard her daughter's urging, she complained to Jiajia angrily: "Jiajia! I just got home, you have to give me a break!"

"Xuemei! Tomorrow is the new year. Why are you cooking meat tonight?" Lin Xuemei's husband opened the door and walked into the house. A strong smell of meat immediately permeated his nose, making him endure. He kept asking in the direction of the kitchen.

Lin Xuemei's eldest son, Zheng Chengcai, heard his father's inquiry, and happily introduced to his father: "Dad! Today, my mother's unit is sending out more New Year's goods than you gave out last year. There are five catties of pork, three A catty of eggs, five catties of white flour, two catties of peanuts, and two catties of melon seeds, Mom saw that we haven't eaten meat for a long time, so she cooked some for us to satisfy our cravings."

Lin Xuemei's husband Zheng Zhonghua had a surprised expression on his face when he heard the situation introduced by his eldest son, because he knew that their Ministry of Commerce's New Year's goods this year only had two kilograms of pork and five kilograms of white flour, while the New Year's goods issued by Lin Xuemei's unit were obviously It is much more than what their unit gives out.

Thinking of the world where ministries distribute New Year's goods, Zheng Zhonghua asked Lin Xuemei curiously: "Xuemei! Isn't your unit's New Year's goods distributed at the same time as ours? Why did they suddenly send them out earlier? And so many? "

Lin Xuemei put the freshly fried chili fried meat on the dining table, and introduced to Zheng Zhonghua with a smile: "Old Zheng! This is not our unit's New Year's goods, but our office."

Zheng Zhonghua heard the situation introduced by Lin Xuemei, and asked Lin Xuemei with a face full of shock: "Xuemei! How can your office have money to buy new year's goods?"

When Lin Xuemei heard Zheng Zhonghua ask about the source of the new year's goods, she happily replied: "Our department has a public fund specially used to receive guests. Since our director has never received guests, this money will be given to the province." When we came down, the director saw that we were working hard, so he arranged these new year goods for everyone."

At around six o'clock in the evening, Wu Aiguo's car stopped at the gate of the Lou's mansion. Lou Zhenhua, who was waiting in the house, heard the movement outside the door, and immediately walked out of the house to welcome him, and warmly greeted Wu Pingshan and his son. Greeted: "Old Wu! Director Wu! Welcome to your home as guests."

Hearing Lou Zhenhua's words, Wu Aiguo handed the invitation letter to Lou Zhenhua, and said to Lou Zhenhua with a smile: "Director Lou! Didn't you ask me on the phone this morning, what is the surprise? The answer lies in this piece of paper in my hand." In the invitation."

When Lou Zhenhua saw the invitation letter Wu Aiguo handed him, he was still secretly wondering why Wu Aiguo gave him an invitation letter when he had nothing to do. Until he heard Wu Aiguo's words, he quickly took the invitation letter from Wu Aiguo and opened it. Looked at it carefully.

"Director Wu! Is this true? The Government Affairs Council really invited me to the welcome dinner on New Year's Eve?" After reading the contents of the invitation, Lou Zhenhua became extremely jealous and asked in disbelief. Wu Aiguo confirmed the news.

Wu Aiguo heard Lou Zhenhua's inquiry and saw the other party's excited expression. He smiled and nodded, and replied: "Dr. Lou! Because of your contribution to our country's foreign exchange earning work during the six months in Xiangjiang, plus Regarding the supplies you gave to the country for free, Mr. Ji specifically entrusted me to give you this invitation letter."

Ever since he realized something was wrong, Lou Zhenhua immediately dismissed his family's servants, changed his past high-profile style, and lived a low-key life while finding a way out for the Lou family's future.

Until one day Lou Zhenhua accidentally heard about Wu Aiguo from his daughter Lou Xiao'e, and he developed a friendship with Wu Aiguo, and finally let him know Wu Aiguo successfully at a dinner party of Li Huaide.

At first, Lou Zhenhua made friends with Wu Aiguo with the mentality of getting to know one more friend and one more way. Through his intentional or unintentional contact, he finally became a good friend with Wu Aiguo's father, Wu Pingshan, who talked about everything.

Through Wu Pingshan's relationship, Lou Zhenhua became the private manager of Red Star Trading Company under Wu Aiguo's operation. He worked in Xiangjiang for half a year and created a large amount of foreign exchange for the country, from which he also received tens of millions of dollars in dividends.

As a businessman, Lou Zhenhua didn't feel complacent about his achievements in Xiangjiang, because he knew that if the Lou family wanted to live in the capital safely, they had to be recognized by the upper echelon, and Wu Aiguo handed him this An invitation letter is the proof that he has been recognized by the upper echelons.

Lou Zhenhua held the invitation letter excitedly and thanked Wu Aiguo with a grateful look on his face: "Director Wu! Thank you!"

At Lou Zhenhua's invitation, the Wu family father and son followed Lou Zhenhua into Lou's mansion.

"Brother Patriot! Are you here?" When Lou Xiao'e saw Wu Aiguo walking into the hall from outside, she immediately stepped forward to greet Wu Aiguo happily.

Seeing Lou Xiao'e running towards him, Wu Aiguo smiled and greeted him: "Xiao'e! Long time no see!"

Lou Xiao'e heard Wu Aiguo's words and saw the invitation letter in Lou Zhenhua's hand. She asked Lou Zhenhua curiously: "Dad! What is that in your hand?"

Lou Zhenhua, who was in a happy mood, heard Lou Xiao'e's question and said happily to Lou Xiao'e: "Xiao'e! This is the invitation letter for the welcome dinner held by the Government Affairs Council. Thanks to your patriotic brother, the Government Affairs Council invited me to attend this year."

When Lou Xiao'e heard Lou Zhenhua's introduction, some baby-fat faces showed a shocked expression, and she quickly confirmed to Lou Zhenhua: "Dad! Is what you said true?"

When Lou Zhenhua heard Lou Xiao'e's question, he replied happily: "Of course this is true!"

When Lou Xiaoe heard Lou Zhenhua's answer, she immediately took the invitation letter from Lou Zhenhua, opened it and read it.

When Lou Xiaoe saw the content on the invitation letter, she immediately took the invitation letter and ran towards the kitchen, shouting happily: "Mom! Mom!"

Lou Zhenhua watched his daughter run towards the kitchen with the invitation letter, and greeted Wu Pingshan and Wu Aiguo father and son with a smile: "Pingshan! Director Wu! Dinner is almost ready, let's hurry up and sit down!"
