Siheyuan: My Northeastern Farmhouse

Chapter 530 Can You Still Have Some Sympathy?

"What are you thinking about?"

"I have given Zhang Yuliang's family dignity!"

"Don't tell me that their family doesn't even want the last bit of dignity left?"

Gu Weijun held a cigar in his hand, flicked off the ash, put the cigar on the ashtray, picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"Wanhua, have you forgotten the education we received on the mainland?"

"We have already shown leniency to capitalists who are of no benefit to the country and the people by not kicking them out directly."

"I didn't expect that hey!"

Jiang Wanhua rolled her eyes at Gu Weijun and said, "You've already come to this glamorous capitalist world, why are you still thinking about the old days?"

"Have you forgotten how difficult the old days were?"

"You have to plan your meals carefully, otherwise you'll go hungry. You have to save money to make a piece of clothing. It takes years to get the cloth coupons to make a piece of clothing!"

"Look at what you are wearing now and what you eat on a daily basis. You wouldn't even dare to think about it before, right?"

"Hey! You are becoming more and more sharp-eyed and sharp-tongued now!" Gu Weijun stood up, and Jiang Wanhua followed him, habitually holding his arm, and the two of them went for a walk in the manor together.

A flower field was specially cleared on the lawn of the manor, where many flowers were planted and cared for by a special florist.

Smelling the scent of flowers and gazing at Victoria Harbour in the distance, Gu Weijun turned his head and smiled.

"The landscape is as beautiful as a painting!"

"Do you believe it?"

"In fact, it won't be long before there are many modern cities rising from the ground in the mainland, which will be more prosperous and more international than Hong Kong!"

"How is that possible?" Jiang Wanhua brushed down her hair that was blown by the wind and nonchalantly retorted, "Although we are not very old, we have experienced how poor the country was before the founding of the People's Republic of China."

"Matches, nails, cars, and watches."

“Everything must have a foreign word!”

"Although tremendous changes have taken place in the past 30 years, people's living standards have not improved!"

"Grain coupons, grain coupons, cloth coupons, vegetable coupons, meat coupons. What can I buy without coupons?"

Gu Weijun shook his head and looked at Jiang Wanhua's profile. "Wanhua, it's not excessive for people like you to be criticized during activities!"

"Hey, what did you say?"

"Can you have a little compassion?"

“Haha.” Gu Weijun chuckled a few times, and continued to look into the distance, his eyes gradually becoming deeper, as if he was muttering to himself: “You couldn’t see the Korean War when the country was just founded!”

"You can't see the self-defense counterattack against Ah San!"

"For the sake of sovereignty, we fell out with the Russians, forcibly took back Lushun, and expelled the troops stationed in the three northeastern provinces. You can't see it!"

"You can't see how the US imperialists and Soviet revisionists have been trying to launch precise surgical strikes against us!"

"Repair three lines, and you still can't see it!"

"Oh!" Gu Weijun chuckled contemptuously, "You only see the poor life of the people and the poverty and hardship in the country!"

"Without the atomic bomb in 64 and the hydrogen bomb in 66, could we have been safe for so many years?"

"US aircraft conduct more than 800 illegal reconnaissance missions a year"

"Before, the bald guy kept clamoring to fight against x, get ashore!"

"hehe."

"Just want to kneel down and lick the American Empire!"

“Isn’t this the weakness of intellectuals?”

"The funniest thing is Hu Shi, this American licker who constantly persuaded people to surrender during the Anti-Japanese War. Both Mao and Chiang Kai-shek had very negative comments about him. Now he has been whitewashed and praised as a master of the Republic of China."

"Hold!"

"What the hell is this world!"

Jiang Wanhua suddenly laughed when he heard this.
He hugged Gu Weijun's arm tightly, "Weijun, why do you care so much now?"

"We just need to be ourselves!" "Have a clear conscience!"

"Well, I have a clear conscience!" Gu Weijun calmed down, kissed Jiang Wanhua on the forehead, held her in his arms, and they watched the sun rising over Victoria Harbor together.

A week later, Gu Weijun and Jiang Wanhua attended a banquet hosted by the Wang family who chartered the boat, dressed in their best attire.

In the hall, well-dressed men and women, holding champagne, kept chatting and laughing in their own small circles.

Gu Weijun was personally greeted by the boat charter king, and then led into a circle of middle-aged and elderly people.

Many young women at the banquet looked at Gu Weijun's tall and handsome face and secretly wondered, whose family is this young man?
I was unexpectedly treated with such great courtesy by the king of chartering ships!
"Mr. Gu, this is Li Bancheng, Mr. Li."

"Nice to meet you." Gu Weijun smiled politely and shook hands with him.

"This is Zhang Yuliang, Mr. Zhang."

"I have admired you for a long time!"

Li Bancheng smiled broadly, "Mr. Gu, I have admired you for a long time. Shall we go over to the side and have a drink first?"

"I'd like to ask you for your advice, too!"

"Hey! Mr. Li Bancheng, let me buy Mr. Gu a drink first and have a chat!" Zhang Yuliang interrupted immediately, "I have something very important to discuss with Mr. Gu!"

"Gu Xian, are you watching?"

Gu Weijun looked at the charter boat king, then at Zhang Yuliang, whose eyes flashed with anxiety, and smiled, then said to Li Bancheng, "Mr. Li, it looks like Mr. Zhang has something urgent to discuss with me."

"I'll excuse you for a moment."

"Okay! Please."

The charter boat king waved his hand, and a waiter immediately appeared, "Arrange a quiet place for Mr. Gu and Mr. Zhang."

"Yes!"

"Gentlemen, please follow me!"

"please!"

"Please!"

The ladies in the banquet hall were whispering in surprise. Who is this person?
Someone recognized Jiang Wanhua and introduced him in a low voice, "The person who came in with him is the chairman and president of Taiping Construction Group, Jiang Wanhua."

"We are Hong Kong's famous strong woman!"

"Oh, why don't I know?"

"They don't even bother to appear in the newspapers."

"Moreover, any paparazzi who dares to take photos will be crippled by the bodyguards. Breaking their legs is the least of their worries! Even the boss of the newspaper will be warned!"

"I heard that all the bodyguards around her have been on the battlefield!"

"what"

Li Bancheng kept smiling as he looked at Gu Weijun and Zhang Yuliang. He lowered his voice and asked in Bao Chuanwang's ear, "Mr. Bao, do you think Mr. Gu will agree to Zhang Yuliang's request?"

The boat charterer turned his head to look at Li Bancheng, smiled slightly, and asked, "If it were you, would you agree?"

"Haha!" Li Bancheng replied with a smile: "Harmony brings wealth."

Li Bancheng then looked at Jiang Wanhua, who was chatting with Mrs. Bao and the eldest daughter-in-law of the Huo family, Zhu, and asked, "Mr. Bao, what is the background of this Mr. Gu?"

"Even Mr. Shen of HSBC agreed to my acquisition of Hutchison, but they intervened."

The charter king shook his head and said, "All I know is that they have a lot of money!"

"I don't know about America, but their legends are circulating in Europe."

"Whether it was oil last year or gold at the beginning of this year"

“They are the biggest winners”

“So, they are also eager to convert funds into capital!”

"But," the charter king said meaningfully, "they are still reasonable. Didn't they compensate you with Qingzhou Cement?"

A few minutes after entering the box, Zhang Yuliang was furious, "Mr. Gu, can you have a little sympathy?"
