Siheyuan: I am a trader in both worlds!

Chapter 589 Pagers, You Deserve to Have One!

"Old Luo, do you remember that big surprise I told you about?"

"I remember, how could I not remember? Let me put it this way, I remember every single word you said to me!"

Ximen Lang truly didn't expect Lao Luo to say something like that.

He remembers every single word he said.
"You really think you're Heshen, the powerful official? In that case, let me test you. When did I say those words, and why?"

Originally, Ximen Lang didn't take this matter seriously, and he didn't expect Lao Luo to actually be able to answer it.

After all, it had been quite a while, and he himself had almost forgotten about it. It was only after a sudden flash of inspiration that he vaguely recalled that such a thing had indeed happened.

Luo?

An elderly man in his fifties?
Do you remember it being exactly the same?

Are you kidding me?
How can this be? !
In fact, Ximen Lang was already prepared to teach Lao Luo to stop talking big when Lao Luo couldn't answer the question.

Unexpectedly, no sooner had Ximen Lang finished speaking than Lao Luo, who was even more magnanimous than Lord He, immediately answered.

"That was a month ago. A month ago, when you saw that we actually had wild yellow croakers here, and they were even several tens of kilograms of them, you were immediately craving them. You were so craving them that you couldn't stop."

"We happen to have a master chef here who knows how to make soup-filled yellow croaker, and you can't wait any longer, you've already started making promises. You said that as long as you can make this dish as soon as possible, you can bring over ten or eight truckloads of electronic communication equipment!"

"Then we chatted and got happier and happier, and you got more and more excited too. In your excitement, you made another big promise, saying that you would give me a big surprise and completely solve the communication problem in Beijing."

Ximen Lang was dumbfounded.

He never expected that, even after so much time had passed—so long that he himself could barely remember—Old Luo would still remember so clearly.

It was utterly unbelievable, and overwhelmed with mixed feelings, Ximen Lang instinctively asked a question.

"What about a month and a half ago? What did we talk about that day?"

“That day you told me that education is a long-term plan and that we must implement nine-year compulsory education as soon as possible, no matter what.”

"What did I do two months ago?"

"You just started working at the steel rolling mill two months ago. Since we weren't in the same system or worked together, I don't know what you did."

"Look, you didn't know that, did you?"

"But Bai Ling was very excited during those two days. When she met me, she excitedly told me that I had vowed to completely help us solve the food problem!"

Luo answered all three questions perfectly.

Not only was Ximen Lang dumbfounded, but Bai Ling, who was standing next to him, was also completely dumbfounded.

The principal, who was Lao Luo's old comrade-in-arms and had fought with him for most of his life, now looked at Lao Luo with new respect.

I couldn't help but shower Lao Luo with the highest praise among men.

"You're amazing!"

Ximen Lang was so moved that he couldn't even mention it.

After moving his lips for a long time, Ximen Lang finally asked a question, still puzzled.

"Why are you memorizing all this so carefully? And you remember it so clearly. What, you really want to play the role of Grand Secretary He? Even if you really were Grand Secretary He, I'm not Emperor Qianlong." "Of course you're not Emperor Qianlong."

That settles it.

"Because you are far more important than Emperor Qianlong!"

This left Ximen Lang speechless once again.

Thinking it over, since we've already come this far, why not be a little clearer?

Lao Luo said sincerely.

"Because you are so important to us. Any technology you bring over is a revolutionary advancement that is decades ahead of its time. Even a single word of guidance from you can save us from countless detours!"

"Most importantly, you have given us unprecedented hope! You have let us know that our struggle is meaningful and that our future is hopeful! And that hope is visible and tangible!"

Let's not talk about the future, let's talk about the present.

"Bai Ling, before A Lang came, could you have imagined that we could achieve such great things in just over two months?"

"I certainly wouldn't dare to think about that! Just over two months ago, I was still worrying about what we'd eat for our next meal! Industry? That's something I wouldn't even dare to dream of! How could I possibly think about it!"

“Look, even Bai Ling, a highly educated person who has studied abroad and attended the world’s top universities, doesn’t dare to think about it and is full of worries about our future, let alone us.”

"But now, because of your presence, we are full of energy every day! Not only are our material conditions changing every day, but we are also incredibly fulfilled spiritually. Do you think you are important to us? Naturally, I will pay attention to everything you say."

Unprecedented, he really thinks he's an emperor.
No, it was a kind of concern that made him feel like he was being worshipped by the Heavenly King, which left Ximen Lang speechless for a long time.

Seeing that if they continued talking, Ximen Lang would lose his little pearls and would definitely have to cut off a chicken's head, burn yellow paper, and become sworn brothers with him.

Luo Yonghao finally stopped being sentimental and suddenly changed his tone, becoming less serious.

"Of course, it's impossible and unrealistic for me to remember every single word! The reason I can remember them so clearly is entirely because this matter is quite significant and important, and it left a deep impression on me."

"If you change it to something else, something less important, I definitely won't remember it very clearly. Okay, the main reason is because you patted your chest and made a big promise to me! There's profit to be made, and it's a huge profit that no one can ignore, so of course I'll take a liking to it!"

After some lighthearted banter, Ximen Lang was finally freed from his complex and indescribable emotions.

Because everyone present, except for Bai Ling, was a grown man, it was really awkward to do these sentimental things or engage in these embarrassing activities with Lao Luo.

He replied with a similarly irreverent laugh.

"I knew that was the case!"

This abruptly ended the emotional scene that had almost caused him to lose his little pearl.

Without saying a word, Ximen Lang directly admitted it.

"First of all, I must admit that I have definitely forgotten about this matter, and for quite some time now. In fact, if it weren't for the atmosphere today that brought back the memories, I probably would still be completely forgotten about it, and I might not remember it again at any time."

"But now that I've remembered, and all the conditions are almost right, it's time to start preparing. I must keep my word and give you a belated surprise by solving this communication problem!"

"As for the solution, it's very simple. That's right, it's this: a pager! You deserve it!"
