Siheyuan: a better life

Chapter 500 Welcome Dinner!

Time flies very fast, and it’s the afternoon of New Year’s Eve in a blink of an eye.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Wu Aiguo took the invitation letter and drove Lou Zhenhua to the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse.

After a very strict inspection, Wu Aiguo and Lou Zhenhua walked towards the banquet hall under the leadership of a dedicated person.

Soon, Wu Aiguo and Lou Zhenhua, led by the service staff, walked into the banquet hall. The lively scene in front of them immediately caught Wu Aiguo's eyes.

Looking at the bustling banquet hall in front of him, a large number of guests were the revolutionary ancestors remembered by Wu Aiguo in his previous life.

The only difference is that for these revolutionary ancestors in front of him, Wu Aiguo was on TV or in books in his previous life, admiring the contributions these ancestors made to China's construction.

But at this moment, Wu Aiguo was fortunate enough to participate in the welcome dinner held by the Government Affairs Council with these seniors, which made Wu Aiguo feel very excited.

"Comrade Wu Aiguo! Mr. Lou Zhenhua! This is the seat for the two of you. If you need anything, you can call our colleagues nearby to serve you at any time."

Soon the service staff who were in charge of leading the way led Wu Aiguo and Liang Dehua to a table according to the information on the invitation letter, and greeted them politely.

Wu Aiguo heard the service staff's words and politely replied: "Comrade! Thank you!"

Lou Zhenhua is a capitalist, so he naturally attends many banquets, but today's welcome dinner has a very special meaning for Lou Zhenhua. When he heard the service staff's words, he immediately put down his posture and politely thanked: "Comrade !thank you!"

"Eh! Isn't that Lou Bancheng? How could he be qualified to attend the Welcome Dinner of the Government Affairs Council? Who is the young man next to him?" Not long after Wu Aiguo and Lou Zhenhua entered the banquet hall, some people were attracted Attention, one of the middle-aged people saw Lou Zhenhua and Wu Aiguo sitting not far away, and asked the middle-aged man next to him curiously.

Another middle-aged man, hearing the muttering of the middle-aged man at the same table, followed the other person's line of sight and looked towards where Wu Aiguo and Lou Zhenhua were. When he saw Wu Aiguo and Lou Zhenhua, he also felt the same. Feeling very confused, he muttered to himself in confusion: "What is going on with Lou Zhenhua and that young man that he is qualified to attend the welcome dinner of the Government Affairs Council?"

Before Lou Zhenhua donated his assets to the country, he was known as Lou Bancheng in Kyoto City. He knew more or less the officials in Kyoto City, but the officials he knew were nothing compared to the people he saw tonight. See the great witch, and more importantly, tonight's welcome dinner is the Lou family's ticket to becoming an imperial merchant.

For this reason, when Lou Zhenhua saw the people around him who came to the dinner party, he was always in a state of high excitement, and he said to Wu Aiguo: "Director Wu! I never thought that I, Lou Zhenhua, would have the opportunity in this life to participate in the banquet. This level of banquet!"

Hearing Lou Zhenhua's words, Wu Aiguo couldn't understand Lou Zhenhua's mood at this moment. After all, he, who has been a human for two generations, also felt extremely jealous when he saw these seniors in the banquet hall.

Facing Lou Zhenhua's emotion, Wu Aiguo replied with a smile: "Uncle Lou! At present, more than a dozen factories in the area of ​​Kyoto City are producing new products day and night in order to catch up with the exhibition held by Xiangjiang in March. You As long as this matter is done well, you will no longer have to worry about ingredients in the future.”

Lou Zhenhua heard Wu Aiguo's reminder and thought of the reason why the superiors were rejecting the capitalists. He complained resentfully: "Patriot! It's all the blame on those black-hearted bastards. Even if it's hard to make money for the country, they even use fake medicines and black-hearted cotton as substandard products." Well, push all us businessmen to the opposite side of the country.”

At this point, Lou Zhenhua looked at the big shots chatting around him and thanked Wu Aiguo with a grateful face: "I, Lou Zhenhua, am lucky enough to be able to meet you. On behalf of our Lou family, thank you for your help to us. "

"Patriot! I didn't expect you to come here so soon." As soon as Lou Zhenhua finished speaking, Boss Kou's cordial inquiry suddenly came from behind Wu Aiguo.

Hearing Boss Kou's inquiry, Wu Aiguo immediately stood up from his seat, and greeted Boss Kou respectfully: "Boss Kou! Hello! This is not the first time I have attended a banquet of this level, so Just come here early.”

When Boss Kou heard what Wu Aiguo said, he turned his attention to Lou Zhenhua, smiled and said to Wu Aiguo: "Aiguo! If I guess correctly, the person next to you should be Mr. Lou Zhenhua, right?"

When Wu Aiguo heard Boss Kou's inquiry, he introduced with a smile: "Boss Kou! You guessed it right, this is the general manager of Red Star Trading Company, Mr. Lou Zhenhua!"

When Lou Zhenhua saw Boss Kou greeting Wu Aiguo, he recognized Boss Kou's identity at first sight. Faced with Boss Kou's inquiry, Lou Zhenhua quickly greeted Boss Kou respectfully and said: "Mr. Kou! Hello! It's an honor to be here. Get to know you!”

Mr. Kou heard Wu Aiguo's introduction and Lou Zhenhua's greetings. He shook hands with Lou Zhenhua and said kindly: "Hello! Mr. Lou! First of all, on behalf of the country, I would like to thank you for your work in earning foreign exchange for the country. Great contribution, I hope you can continue to work hard, and don't let the country trust you."

Boss Kou's words were more of a spur than a compliment. Lou Zhenhua, who had experienced the world, felt flattered immediately, and quickly assured Boss Kou: "Boss Kou! Don't worry, I won't Live up to the expectations of my superiors.”

When Wu Aiguo and Lou Zhenhua appeared in the banquet hall, they attracted the attention of some interested people, but due to identity issues, no one came forward to greet them.

Now seeing Boss Kou chatting with the two of them kindly, some caring people around immediately became curious about the identities of Wu Aiguo and Lou Zhenhua, especially Wu Aiguo, because he was really too young.

However, just when everyone became curious about Wu Aiguo's identity, the next scene shocked all these interested people.

"Mr. Zhi is here!" Just as Boss Kou was communicating with the two of them, someone shouted, and he saw Mr. Zhi walking into the banquet hall from the outside, accompanied by his entourage.

The arrival of Mr. Zhi made all the participants who were chatting in their seats stop chatting, stood up instinctively from their seats, and looked at Mr. Zhi coming in from the outside with a respectful face.

When Mr. Zhi walked into the banquet hall, he saw Wu Aiguo standing next to Mr. Kou. He immediately stopped and greeted Wu Aiguo cordially: "Comrade Xiao Wu! Welcome to our welcome dinner! "
