Siheyuan, don't mess with me

Chapter 294 Gu Cheng asks for tea!

At Gu Yunshu's house, "Daughter, how much tea do you have left?"

"What's the matter?" Gu Yunshu's study plan was interrupted by Gu Cheng. She looked at her anxious father and asked curiously!

"I want some to give to my old leader!" Gu Cheng licked his face and said with a smile!

"Just that one can. I gave it all to you last night!" Gu Yunshu said lazily. She knew that Gu Cheng didn't have the cigarettes that Chen Zhiguo wanted, so she simply didn't want to mention it!

"Girl, who gave you this tea? Ask where you bought it. I'll go buy some!"

"I don't know, someone else gave it to me. Don't even think about taking this tea! You can't buy it!" Gu Yunshu was afraid of discouraging Gu Cheng, so she didn't tell the truth and could only shirk her responsibility!

"Daughter, please ask for your dad! I really want to buy some of this tea!" After Gu Yunshu came back last night, she handed the tea to Gu Cheng without saying much!

Gu Cheng didn’t care too much at first. He really had plenty of tea. How could a director of a supply and marketing cooperative be short of tea?

If he hadn't been attracted by the fragrance of the bamboo tube, it would probably have been put away by Gu Cheng together with a pile of tea cans!

The real benefit of this tea came when he woke up. He was surprised by how energetic he was! He only felt this energetic when he was young!

Gu Cheng then really valued this can of tea. It looked nothing special, and it had no taste. Only when you drank it, you could taste its fragrance. It was a light fragrance with a sweet aftertaste. When you drank it, you just thought it was good tea, very good tea! But when you woke up, the preciousness of this tea came out!

So Gu Cheng hurriedly went to Gu Yunshu to ask. He had been looking for a suitable gift to visit his old leader, and this tea was really suitable!

"Dad, this was given to me by someone else. How can I ask them for it?" Gu Yunshu looked at Gu Cheng anxiously, and she also felt embarrassed!

"Who gave it to you? If not, I'll go discuss it with him!" Gu Cheng did not give up, mainly because this kind of tea was so suitable!

"Is that what you want?"

"That's for sure!"

"One special supply pack in exchange for half a pound of tea! Do you have cigarettes?" Gu Yunshu didn't want to tell Chen Zhiguo about it. If her father could get cigarettes, she would give them to Chen Zhiguo in exchange for cigarettes. She really couldn't open her mouth to buy them with money or ask Chen Zhiguo for free!

"Special supply? That's hard to get. I can get one or two packs by using some connections, but where can I get this pack of cigarettes?" Gu Cheng was a little crazy and kept muttering to himself!

"Oh! Dad, what do you want the tea for? Isn't it enough to just taste it? Why did you have to buy it and you finished the whole can!" Gu Yunshu was also annoyed!

"I don't want to visit my old leader. Your dad is not young anymore and I want to make further progress! I have been choosing for a long time and couldn't find a suitable gift. This kind of tea is just right. I just want to get more and build some connections!" Gu Cheng felt a little embarrassed to say this in front of his daughter, but if he didn't make it clear, Gu Yunshu would definitely not help!

"Okay! I got it! I'll find a way for you!" If Gu Cheng didn't want to make progress, Gu Yunshu would never ask for the tea. She would definitely help her father! She is not an out-of-this-world person, not that noble!

Gu Yunshu had two options. She knew that Jiang Yuehua and her family had special supplies, so she planned to ask them to borrow a pack of cigarettes to exchange for tea leaves. As for how to pay for the cigarettes, it would depend on their requests!

Another way is to ask Chen Zhiguo to borrow money. If that doesn't work, just write an IOU! Then find a way to pay it back later!

Two days passed quickly. Gu Yunshu saw Ma Huihui and Jiang Yuehua carrying their bags and going upstairs together in the corridor. She ran back to the office and waited for them! But what she never expected was that Jiang Yuehua and the others did not go into the office, but went directly into Chen Zhiguo's office next door. This made Gu Yunshu secretly angry and stamped her feet in anger!

Not long after, I saw the three of them walking in. The cloth bags in their hands were gone, but I didn't see them bringing back tea either. Could it be that they were not bringing back cigarettes?

"Yuehua, how much did you change for Zhiguo? It's such a big bag!"

"Yunshu, I'm telling you, it made me laugh to death," Jiang Yuehua giggled and told her the funny story of how she exchanged tea leaves. "I'm telling you, at first, the grandparents in the compound all said it was too expensive and refused to exchange! But the next day, they sent their children to come find me! It's so funny!"

"Yuehua, can I discuss something with you?" Gu Yunshu asked awkwardly.

"What's the matter? We are good sisters. Is there anything we can't talk about?"

"I want half a pound of tea. My father wants to give it to his old leader! However, my family doesn't have the cigarettes that Chen Zhiguo wants, so I would like to ask you to help me get a pack of cigarettes first. I definitely can't afford to pay you back for this. Whatever you want, I will make it up to you from other sources!" Gu Yunshu said everything he wanted to say in one breath and looked at Jiang Yuehua a little nervously!

"What do I take it for granted? Is half a pound enough? If not, I'll give you some!" Jiang Yuehua's answer was very generous!

"Yes, Yunshu, if it's not enough, I can give it to you here!"

"I can give you some here, too!"

Jiang Yuechen and Ma Huihui both offered their help. When Gu Yunshu heard this, he was very moved and kept saying, "Enough, enough!"

In the evening, after get off work, Gu Yunshu walked home carrying the half pound of tea given by Jiang Yuehua. When she was about to reach home, she saw Chen Zhiguo standing next to a jeep on the side of the road waving at her!

"What's the matter? Zhiguo, why are you here?" Gu Yunshu took two quick steps and came in front of him!

"Here you go!" Chen Zhiguo took out a cloth bag from the car and handed it to her. "What's this?"

"Jiang Yuehua told me, and I was afraid that you didn't have enough, but you were too embarrassed to tell me, so here I am, sending it to you!"

"Ah! Zhiguo, no, no, I asked Sister Yuehua for half a catty, which should be enough!" Gu Yunshu quickly refused.

"I said you are stupid, and you really are stupid!" Chen Zhiguo nodded Gu Yunshu's head.

"Why am I so stupid?" Gu Yunshu didn't understand what Chen Zhiguo meant at all and was completely confused!

"Think about it, everyone knows that this tea is good, and everyone wants to keep drinking it after drinking it. What if your dad's old boss wants to ask your dad to continue drinking it? If your dad can't get this tea, will the boss have a problem with him?"

"Oh! Is that so!" Gu Yunshu recalled Gu Cheng's reaction after drinking the tea, and felt that Chen Zhiguo made sense. "But, Zhiguo, I don't have any cigarettes to give you! Otherwise, you tell me how much money you want, and I'll give you the money!" Gu Yunshu was embarrassed, blushing and lowering her head, muttering,

"No need. I didn't intend to sell it for money. I just wanted to tell others the value of this tea! If you need it, just ask directly. Don't be shy! You know what I mean!" Chen Zhiguo said, stuffed the bag into Gu Yunshu's hand, turned around and got in the car, "I'm leaving now, be careful on the road!"

Gu Yunshu looked at the car going away, feeling mixed emotions!

. . . . . . . . . . . . .

The tea was just a small episode, and Chen Zhiguo didn't take it seriously. He also didn't expect that his teacher Li Guoqiang would do this to him. But now, since the teacher has set a price for the tea, then he will follow this price in the future!

After a lot of persistence, Director Luo finally got Minister Wang Liye to sign Chen Zhiguo's report, and the experiment was set to be carried out at the Red Star Steel Mill. This made Lao Jiang and Lao Hu furious, but they had no choice but to lose. After all, Lao Luo had a natural advantage. Chen Zhiguo had worked at the Red Star Steel Mill, and his family also worked at Red Star!

After the document was issued, Chen Zhiguo arranged for people from the third planning department to move into the steel rolling mill. The steel rolling mill also made logistical preparations, with offices and conference rooms all ready. Moreover, their meals and accommodation were arranged directly in the guesthouse!

On the first day in the factory, Chen Zhiguo did not make any specific arrangements. He just asked everyone to clean up the office and conference room, prepare various materials, and then let them stay in the office!

Because the steel rolling mill arranged a lunch for them at noon, and they will be let go home after the meal. The experiment will officially begin tomorrow, and by then, they will not have such leisurely time!

Since there was nothing to do, Chen Zhiguo went to the guesthouse in advance and took a look at how the guesthouse was doing! Along the way, people who knew him kept greeting him. It took him more than 20 minutes to walk a distance that should only take a few minutes. When he met an acquaintance, he would always give him a cigarette and chat with him!

As soon as I stepped onto the steps of the guesthouse, the door of the guesthouse was opened. "Brother Zhiguo, you are here!" A pretty figure stood at the door.

"Xiaoqiu, I haven't seen you for a long time. How have you been recently?" The one who opened the door for Chen Zhiguo was Chen Xiaoqiu, Chen Zhiguo's cousin!

"Very good!" Chen Xiaoqiu replied cheerfully.

After not seeing him for a few months, Jordan Chan seems to have grown a little taller and his skin has become whiter. He is no longer as dark and thin as before. He has become cheerful and confident!

As soon as he entered the door, "Brother Zhiguo!" Chen Erya, who was standing at the front desk, also ran over and grabbed Chen Zhiguo's arm!

"Erya, you've grown taller now! You've become prettier! Xiaoqiu too, I almost didn't recognize you when I opened the door just now!" Chen Zhiguo compared them and said jokingly! Because they are all Chen Zhiguo's cousins, Chen Zhiguo dared to say this. If it were someone else, he would never say this even if he was beaten to death! However, these sisters who entered the factory worked in the guesthouse, had good food, and didn't have to do farm work every day like at home. Their bodies were not so tired, and they were completely changed!

Chen Erya took Chen Zhiguo around the guesthouse. The overall feeling was okay. Daddy Chen Dayong was doing a good job. As Yu Li was at home recuperating after giving birth, Chen Dayong had to take care of more things recently. Chen Zhiguo sat in his office for a while and watched him being busy!

"Dad, take a rest!" Chen Zhiguo made a cup of tea for Chen Dayong and handed him a cigarette!

Chen Dayong took a look and pushed it to him again, "You're smoking more and more advanced cigarettes now. I can't get used to this thing. It's too light!"

Chen Zhiguo did not persuade him, and Chen Dayong did not need to use such cigarettes to show off. If he did not like it, he would not smoke it. "If you don't smoke it, I will take it home for grandpa to smoke. He is old, and he needs to smoke some good cigarettes so that he won't cough!"

Chapter 295: When doing things, you need to think more!

Chen Dayong picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, praising, "This tea is good, make more if you have nothing to do!"

"I left it at home. You'd better drink it by yourself at work. Don't give it to other people. This tea is very expensive!" Of course Chen Zhiguo wanted to give it to his family, but he also reminded Chen Dayong not to take good things lightly!

"Oh! How expensive is it?" Chen Dayong raised his eyebrows.

"Half a catty in exchange for this cigarette!" Chen Zhiguo raised the cigarette in Yang's hand.

"It is expensive! You really have to be careful. I understand!" Chen Dayong nodded!

As the father and son were talking, Chen Dahu pushed the door open and came in, "Zhiguo, why are you here today?" As Chen Dahu spoke, he handed the list in his hand to Chen Dayong for signature. This was his daily job. After purchasing the items and putting them into storage, he would give the list to Chen Dayong for signature!

"Uncle, I'm coming over to stay at the steel mill for a while!" Chen Zhiguo stood up.

"Wow! You have this cigarette too, in a whole carton. Just give it to me! Someone asked me to help find this these days!" Chen Dahu saw the cigarettes that Chen Zhiguo had placed on the coffee table and had not put them away. His eyes lit up immediately and he grabbed the cigarettes and looked at them in his hand!

"Second brother, who wants this cigarette? Why would they ask you? You know this cigarette is not so easy to get!" Chen Dahu has no access to this kind of cigarette, why would someone ask him for it, Chen Dayong couldn't help but become suspicious!

"Hey! This cigarette is not easy to get, of course I know! This cigarette is not something that someone like me can get!" Chen Dahu said with a smile.

He picked up the teacup in front of Chen Dayong and took a sip. "Brother, this tea is good. It smells really good! Give me some!"

Chen Dayong glanced at him and said nothing! Chen Dahu was not annoyed, and continued with a smile, "It was Director Gu Cheng from the supply and marketing cooperative. I went to their company to make a purchase, and someone mentioned it casually and asked me to help find out! I even laughed at him, saying that he went to the wrong place and asked the wrong person. I am a purchaser, how can I have such a way!"

Chen Dayong explained the whole story like pouring tofu from a bamboo tube!

"Zhiguo, you have no other use for this cigarette, right?" Chen Zhiguo was still thinking whether to give the cigarette to Chen Dahu, but his second uncle asked him, and he certainly couldn't lie to his second uncle!

"Uncle, this is what someone gave me! I originally wanted to take it back for grandpa to smoke, but if you want it, I'll give it to you first!"

"That solves the problem! This time I can show off in front of Gu Cheng!" Chen Dahu slapped his thigh and said excitedly!

When he looked up, he saw his elder brother looking at him with an unchanging expression, and he quickly explained, "Brother! I'm not bragging in front of Gu Cheng, he really asked me to do it. I was thinking that Director Gu Cheng is usually very nice to me, and he's in trouble, so if we can help him, we should help him!"

"It's okay! Second Uncle! Just give this cigarette to him! Whatever he wants to give you, you should keep it for yourself!" Chen Zhiguo thought, if Gu Cheng knew that the tea leaves were his, and the cigarettes he had found with so much difficulty were also his, what kind of expression would he have? If he had a chance to ask Gu Yunshu, wouldn't it be wonderful!

Chen Dahu ran away with the cigarette, anxious to give it to Gu Cheng!

"Are you okay?" Chen Dayong looked at Chen Zhiguo and asked worriedly?

"It's okay! What could possibly happen?" Chen Zhiguo said with a smile!

At noon, on the second floor of the guesthouse, Director Luo, Li Huaide, and Chief Li Yunshan of the Technical Department hosted a banquet for the members of Chen Zhiguo's experimental team!

"Zhiguo, the steel rolling mill is your mother's home. You should think more about anything that happens in the future! At least tell me in advance so that I can be prepared!" Director Luo clinked glasses with Chen Zhiguo and thought of the fierce arguments he had with Lao Jiang and Lao Hu in the past few days. He really quarreled until his face turned red and his neck became thick, and his voice was hoarse!

"I have no choice. If I go to your side, Lao Jiang and Lao Hu will make me restless. You know their tempers!" Chen Zhiguo also had a bitter smile on his face! Although most of the firepower was attracted by the minister, these three factory directors harassed him a lot and almost chased him home!

Li Huaide also picked up his glass and drank with Chen Zhiguo. "They are too infuriating. After all, Zhiguo is a cadre who came out of our factory. This is his rear base, but they are shameless enough to snatch it!"

The waitress in the private room today was Liu Lan. After serving the dishes, she did not go out to stand at the door as usual, but stayed in the room, pouring tea for Chen Zhiguo, handing him a towel, etc. when she had nothing to do!

Lao Luo and Li Huaide pretended not to see it. Instead, they thought it was good. As long as they could keep Chen Zhiguo, it was not impossible to turn a blind eye to some things! Although Jiang Yuehua and the others thought that the waiter was a little too attentive, especially to Chen Zhiguo, they thought that Chen Zhiguo's father was the director of the guesthouse and his employees were fawning on him, so they didn't take it to heart!

After Liu Lan finished her service, she would quietly stand by and look at Chen Zhiguo with affection! Occasionally, Chen Zhiguo and she would look at each other, and she would lower her head in a hurry, her cheeks blushing!

There was work in the afternoon, so the lunch didn't last too long, and we didn't drink much! After sending Director Luo and Li Huaide out of the guesthouse, Chen Zhiguo asked Jiang Yuehua and the others to go home and rest in the afternoon, and the experiment would officially begin tomorrow!

He then returned to the private room and said, "You haven't eaten much! Do you want me to heat up some dishes for you?" Liu Lan did not rush to clear the table, but waited for him to come back!

"No more! I'm full!" Chen Zhiguo waved his hand and said, "By the way, where's the lunch box? Don't you want to pack it? Why didn't you pack it?"

"I didn't realize that you didn't eat much, and I thought you would come back for more!" Liu Lan pointed at the bone plate in front of Chen Zhiguo, which was piled with dishes that Chen Zhiguo had picked up but didn't eat!

"That's for you. I'm afraid they'll eat all the food and you'll have nothing to take home!"

"Zhiguo! Thank you!" Perhaps because she was in a confined space, Liu Lan became much bolder. Hearing Chen Zhiguo's concern for her, she could no longer suppress the love in her heart and suddenly threw herself into his arms!

Chen Zhiguo held Liu Lan in his arms. Liu Lan was no longer as thin as before. She had gained weight and her face was shiny. Her hair was no longer as dry and yellow as before.
