Republic of China small businessman

He Dongting waited outside the food stall until midnight, but no one came out.

He rubbed the center of his eyebrows and told the driver, "Let's go."

He Shuwei asked: "Father, how about I go in and look for it?"

He Dongting shook his head: "They have already left."

There are several exits from the food stall, and they only guarded the car, but they didn't expect that the other party would leave directly, and it would be a waste of time to wait any longer.

The driver drove on the road, and He Dongting gave some instructions in a low voice. He Shuwei didn't dare to get too close, but he could vaguely hear a few words like "be sure to find out tonight" and "where to live" while sitting in the car.He was nervous, and managed to maintain his composure and said, "Father, I see that Uncle has brought someone with him today, he..."

He Dongting said: "How is he?"

"He is very similar to the person I found a few years ago." He Shuwei shrank aside and coughed a few times, and said with a pale face: "Father, is uncle still angry with me? I can't study well. If I get angry, I'm useless."

In the past, He Dongting would comfort him with a few words. He Shuwei's health has always been poor, with minor ailments and intermittent reading, so his grades can only barely maintain a moderate level and cannot be improved.A few years ago, I didn't know who arranged it. I found two good-looking teenagers and sent them to He's mansion. Apart from being similar in age to He Shuwei, they also looked more like the late wife Xie Yuan. .

He Dongting asked people to take the two teenagers in for a few days. After checking, he found out that they were just scammers.

There were many such things, and He Dongting gradually didn't believe it.

After those liars were exposed, He Shuwei fell ill and had to recuperate for a semester before he could recover. His grades were not as good as those of his classmates, and He Dongting donated money to go to the university.

The third master of the He family kept claiming that he was sent by Xie Siquan - in the He family, anyone who came to make trouble without knowing it would be dealt with as Xie Siquan.

But this time when Xie Siquan really brought someone to sit in front of him, He Dongting remained calm in his heart.This time is different from the previous few times, from the moment he saw Xie Jing, he felt his heart ache and he couldn't believe it. That feeling cannot be faked, that innate sense of intimacy He couldn't pretend, he just wanted to take care of this child just by looking at him.

He Dongting frowned, lost in thought.

He Shuwei never waited for a word of comfort from his father, looked up at the other party, pursed his lips and said nothing.

the other side.

Boss He was only half right. Xie Siquan did come out with Master Jiu and Xie Jing, but he didn't go back. Instead, he went to the tavern again and had a happy meal.

Xie Siquan can drink very well, but Xie Jing can't drink, when he drank too much and dragged others to drink, they were all stopped by Master Jiu.

Master Jiu said: "Jing'er doesn't drink well, so I'll drink for him."

Xie Siquan narrowed his eyes, and it took him a while to recognize the person clearly: "Yes, how bad is it?"

Master Jiu had no choice but to say, "Drink the cup and get drunk."

Xie Siquan patted him on the shoulder, and laughed loudly, "He's the same as Sister, and so is Sister. After drinking a drink, she's going to get drunk. You don't know that it hurts when she hits someone..." He said a lot intermittently, Like happy, but also like crying in the next moment, he raised his head and gulped a few times, drank his hands silly and dazzled, and wiped the back of his hand against his lips, "I'm so happy today, I won't return if I'm not drunk!"

Xie Jing was afraid that he would drink too much, so she stepped forward to persuade him, and Xie Siquan held both cheeks and kissed each other.

Xie Jing: "!!"

Xie Siquan wanted to kiss again, Xie Jing covered his mouth and said anxiously: "Uncle!"

Xie Siquan couldn't help giggling, he couldn't help but ask Xie Jing, "Do you know that I chose your name?"

Xie Jing shook his head hesitantly.

"It was what I agreed with my elder sister back then." Xie Siquan shook his fingers around the wine jar, his eyes and brows were full of pride, and he raised his other hand to rub his little nephew's head. "I said that no matter what the child's last name is, I will come up with the baby name, and it will be 'Jing'er'."

Xie Jing was puzzled: "Why?"

Xie Siquan snorted a few times on his head, just laughed and didn't talk.

After drinking until midnight, Xie Siquan was satisfied.

Master Jiu said: "Thank you, Patriarch, Jing'er is motion sick, it's better to go back if you're in this shirt and clothes."

Xie Siquan said: "No wonder you chose this restaurant, you did everything properly, thank you." After he finished speaking, he beckoned Xie Jing to come over, touched his nephew's head, and said with a light smile: "Jing'er, you go back with Mr. Bai first. Staying in the east courtyard for a few days, my uncle has something to do, so he will come to you when he is done."

Xie Jing nodded, and asked again: "Do you want my help?"

Xie Siquan got his words, sweeter than eating honey, pinched his face and said: "No, just play by yourself, wait two days for uncle to take you to ride a horse. I'll let someone find a place where you can run, Don't you want me to see Bai Shishi? Then you can take it and run for a few laps together."

"it is good."

It was already late at night when Xie Jing returned to the east courtyard.

Master Jiu drank alcohol, but it was just white wine, so it didn't bother him. After washing up, he looked the same as usual.

On the contrary, Xie Jing talked a lot less than usual, and would look up at Master Jiu from time to time.

Master Jiu moved his mind slightly, shook his hand, leaned closer and asked, "Does Jing'er have something to ask?"

Xie Jing frowned and hesitated for a moment, then said slowly: "At the banquet tonight, I heard from Mr. He."

Several thoughts flashed through Master Jiu's mind, but they finally came to one. He thought, if Xie Jing asked, he wouldn't care what Xie Siquan said before. Whatever Xie Jing wanted to know, he would tell him everything.

Xie Jing said: "Mr. He invited you to Xianlesi before?"

Master Jiu was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "That's all you want to ask?"

Xie Jing looked away, looked ahead, and tried to pretend to be indifferent: "I don't really want to ask, but I'm just a little curious to hear it. Have you been there? Actually, uncle took me there last time, but that The door is full of sand, so we took a look outside, it’s so gaudy, it’s not easy to see which one..."

Master Jiu couldn't stop laughing, stretched out his hand and pulled him over, hugged Huai Sang and said affectionately: "He said before that he asked his nephews to accompany me to visit, but I refused. If I don't go, you are not allowed to go either. No?"

Xie Jing's ears turned red, and she hummed.

Master Jiu kissed his earlobe and asked, "Do you have anything else to ask?"

Xie Jing thought for a while and said, "There's nothing else."

Master Jiu: "Aren't you curious why Patriarch Xie quarreled with each other tonight? Are you not interested in the He family?"

Xie Jing said: "I know the He family."

Master Jiu pinched his fingers, held them in his hand and asked, "What do you know about the He family?"

Xie Jing said: "I know that the He family has business dealings with you, and there are two factories under the name of Huaxing Textile Bureau. If you rent them out today, they will definitely be of great use. Even Boss He seems to be very shrewd, so he shouldn't be particularly easy to deal with." , There is a saying that one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers...Master, what are you laughing at?" Xie Jing was inexplicable, Master Jiu smiled on his shoulder for a while, and the touch of the shoulders vibrated slightly, making him wonder what to do next. "Did I say the wrong thing?" Master Jiu sighed, with a bit of satisfaction: "No, I was just thinking about how to reward you for being so sweet."

Xie Jing looked at a sweet white plum bottle placed on the table not far away, and said, "I want that bottle."

Master Jiu followed his gaze and asked, "Did you fall in love with sweet white porcelain again in the past few days? Okay, I'll give you all."

Xie Jing took the opportunity to mention: "My lord, the private treasury in Beidi is full."

Master Jiu smiled lightly: "Little money fan, I understand, just let Sun Fudu bring it to you later. Those things from the Northland were originally sent here at the end of the year, but Grandpa sent a letter, I'm afraid it will be messed up Two years."

Xie Jing thought about it, "Is it serious?"

After a while, Master Jiu said, "Feng Zhenbei is rebellious."

"The provincial government..."

"He is still far away from the provincial capital, and the Heihe area is close to the border, so it hasn't been affected yet." Master Jiu sighed, "It's still within the controllable range. Do your best and obey the destiny."

Xie Jing also fell silent for a while.

His concern for Beidi far exceeds that of Xie and He.

He and his uncle have just known each other for two days, and they are very unfamiliar with Xi Chuan, and the He family has nothing to do with him. On the contrary, there are many friends in Beidi, and they toss and turn all night until the sky turns white before slowly falling asleep.

The east courtyard is a bit more dull than usual, although it is still busy, but you can feel that everyone's heart is just right.

Their home is in the north, and there is a war, so how can they not be worried.

Jiu Ye only showed a little emotion when he told Xie Jing last night, he still lied during the day and was busy with various things, and by the way, he also took full responsibility for the lease of Huaxing Textile Bureau.

He Dongting came to handle the matter in person, he couldn't find Xie Siquan for a few days, so he could only come to Bai Jiu, thinking that maybe he could see Xie Jing again.

It was obvious that he had made the right bet this time, and Bai Jiuye was carrying Xie Jing with him.

Although He Dongting did not reduce or exempt the rent, after signing, he said in a gentle tone: "Nowadays everything is waiting to be done. Even in the Shanghai stock market, there are not many engineers who understand technology. Mr. Bai is determined to serve the country with industry, so I should provide more convenience. That’s right. A friend I know just happened to ship a batch of electric motors, why don’t I introduce some engineers to you, and replace the silly motors in the textile factory?”

Master Jiu cupped his hands and thanked: "In this way, Boss Lao He, Mr. Bai is trying to start with the power transmission."

It takes a lot of effort to introduce new technology and equipment, and He Dongting gave a great gift just as it came.

He Dongting took Jiuye around the textile factory again, his mind was on Xie Jing, and he peeked out of the corner of his eye from time to time.Xie Jing was silent and quiet along the way, but he did things neatly. During the period, when he met a German engineer, he was able to talk to him. He Dongting was a little surprised by the love in his eyes, and couldn't help asking: "He can speak German?"

Master Jiu nodded and said: "I can say a few simple words. I also hired a few German engineers at the Heihe Distillery before. Jing'er is talented and eager to learn. When I was working with them, I learned it by accident, but I didn't invite them on purpose. Teacher to teach." His words were flat, like a trivial matter not worth showing off.

He Dongting couldn't take his eyes away, and even praised, "He is very talented in languages."

Master Jiu said: "It's okay, English is better."

He Dongting was surprised: "He, has he still learned English?"

Master Jiu: "Yes, I taught him by the way when I was free. After studying for a few years, I am very fluent now."

He Dongting was already in a daze, looked at Xie Jing and then at Master Jiu, not sure, said: "You mean, this kid didn't go to school, he just learned by himself?"

"It also counts as a few years of study." Jiu Ye said softly: "When he was young, he lived with his grandmother and lived a poor life. Fortunately, that grandmother treated him very well and saved him money to study for a few years. 13 When he was [-] years old, he went out to work, and encountered some accidents on the way, and almost died."

He Dongting felt a sharp pain in his heart, and wanted to ask, but Master Jiu had already shaken his head and said: "It's all in the past. Mr. He, no one is born who knows everything. This child knows a lot because he eats the food." It's a lot."

He Dongting was so bored that he could hardly breathe, his face turned pale, he nodded and said yes.

Xie Jing came over and said, "Master, it's settled. If there are drawings that need to be revised, they will hand them in as soon as possible. The factory building is too old, and many lines need to be redone."

Master Jiu nodded: "It should be like this, safety comes first."

At noon, He Dongting wanted to invite them to dinner, and found a reason to discuss important matters: "Mr. Bai, I plan to raise 200 million silver dollars to establish a new type of bank. Are you interested in participating?"

Jiu Ye said: "I'm afraid I don't have enough money on hand."

"It doesn't matter, 1 to [-] silver dollars can be used as a share, and hundreds of thousands or hundreds of thousands are also fine. I can recommend you to the board of directors only if the amount is higher." He Dongting said seriously, "The war in Europe is peaceful, and the competition in the world economy is becoming increasingly fierce. China's industry and commerce should also develop in a timely manner, and it is time for us to contribute to the country."

He Dongting owns the Tonghui Bank and established a new type of bank. He knows that only when the industry and commerce develops can the bank develop.

In other words, investing in industry and commerce is the bounden duty of banks.

Master Jiu thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay, let's have lunch together."

He Dongting turned his head and asked, "Jing...what would Xiaoxie want to eat?"

Xie Jing said: "Me?"

He Dongting smiled and said: "Of course it's you, you are the youngest, you choose a family and I treat you."

Xie Jing went to see Lord Jiu, saw him nodding his head slightly, and said, "I don't have anything special to eat, it's been raining these two days and it's been a bit cold, can I eat mutton pot... okay?"

He Dongting immediately agreed: "Of course, I'll make arrangements and wait a moment for the car to pick me up."
