Lu Xiangze's current identity happens to be that of a "businessman".

Therefore, discussing cooperation is also very convenient.

This descendant of the Gu family seems to be quite dissatisfied with those factories.

They have now arrived in J City and are preparing to leave.

There are only three days left now.

If we miss this opportunity, who knows when we'll get another one?

He is very worried now.

He didn't say anything; he knew Su Qiao was busy lately. He shook his head, trying to clear his mind of these thoughts.

"It's nothing, let's see in a few days."

Su Qiao knew he didn't want to talk about it anymore.

So I didn't ask any more questions.

When Lu Xiangze went out, he saw Pei Xingzhi with a woman and was somewhat surprised.

The two exchanged a glance and nodded to each other, which was considered a greeting.

The next day, just as Su Qiao was about to leave, a group of acquaintances suddenly arrived at Huaixia Restaurant.

Not only Pei Xingzhi, but also Rong Shen and the three old men.

When the three old men saw the two, they all wanted to bow down.

Su Qiao almost couldn't stop her.

"No way. That's not fashionable anymore."

"That's right, that's right."

Pei Xingzhi also offered words of advice from the side.

He knew that Su Qiao and her husband were not like that.

The old men then realized that this was indeed not a good situation.

He gestured for Rong Shen to bring out all the gifts for the group.

"Then you should at least accept this."

Su Qiao didn't look at it carefully, knowing that they wouldn't feel at ease if she didn't accept the gift.

He then asked Rong Shen to put the things down.

Professor Rong looked at Su Qiao with gratitude in his eyes.

If it weren't for Su Qiao and her husband, they might not have been able to get through that period safely.

At that time, they made some arrangements for themselves.

But I didn't expect those people to be suddenly reassigned.

Fortunately, Lu Xiangze delivered the equipment to them at that time.

He even made a point of greeting the captain.

Later on, it did indeed help them a lot.

They believed that Lu Xiangze was aware that they had returned all these years ago.

But he did not ask them for anything in return.

Therefore, they knew that Lu Xiangze helped them simply because of his character, and they had not forgotten this kindness over the years.

I've been looking for them.

Now that we finally have news of them, we naturally have to come and see.

Since we're here at the restaurant today, we should naturally have a good taste.

It also supports the businesses here.

It's not actually time for dinner yet.

So there are only this one table of guests right now.

Guo Hongjun had almost finished his preparations, and since these were people the boss knew, he should treat them even better.

The waiter hasn't arrived yet.

He limped over to order the food himself.

Since he started working at the restaurant, perhaps because he was in a better mood, he felt that his legs had gotten much better.

I thought it was just my imagination.

But actually, it was the medicinal herbs that Su Qiao asked him to bring back that had the effect.

With long-term consumption, recovery can be gradual.

Zhao Gou's old habits have resurfaced.

He glanced subconsciously at the layout of the restaurant, then at Guo Hongjun, and suddenly spoke.

"Comrade, wouldn't you like to go home and check on things?"

Guo Hongjun looked completely bewildered.

He still has to go to work, how can I ask him to come home?

Su Qiao listened with some concern, and said with a smile, "Brother Guo, it's still early before dinner time, no rush. It only takes you 10 minutes to go back and forth, you'll have plenty of time."

"No need, I've already found someone to take care of the family."

Zhao Gou shook his head.

Su Qiao's tone was somewhat serious.

"Brother Guo, let's go back. I remember you said you had some sauce stored at home. Let's use that sauce to cook today."

With these words, Guo Hongjun had no choice but to go back.

As he walked down the street, he suddenly felt increasingly anxious.

Without realizing it, I quickened my pace to get home.

When he got home, his heart was pounding.

I rushed over there immediately.

He even forgot about his leg injury.

Thank goodness, I managed to catch my youngest daughter.

His wife is gone, and he only has this one little daughter left.

The elderly mother on the other side saw this and her eyes were filled with tears. Seeing her son return, she breathed a huge sigh of relief.

"I'm so glad you're back."

Guo Hongjun is still in shock.

He almost lost his daughter.

His hands, which were holding the child, were trembling.

He carefully put the child back.

I felt a sense of peace settle down.

He turned to look at his elderly mother.

He looked around again: "Where's Aunt Zhou?"

The old lady was a little embarrassed.

He did not speak.

This is clearly not the first time this has happened.

Guo Hongjun's face was terribly dark.

He invited Aunt Zhou back, originally intending for her to take care of the old lady and his daughter.

Unexpectedly, this person is used to being outwardly compliant but inwardly defiant.

She took the money, but where exactly did this person go to take care of her?

Guo Hongjun paced back and forth in the small house.

"Does Aunt Zhou often do this?"

The old lady did not answer directly: "We are all neighbors. She is willing to take care of us because she is kind-hearted."

Guo Hongjun was practically driven mad by the old lady.

"But I paid the money."

The old lady was stunned.

Where will we get the money?

"I went to work, isn't it normal to get a few dollars in wages?"

The old lady immediately felt cheated.

At the time, Xiao Zhou clearly said that he came to check on them because he saw that they had difficulty moving around.

"How long have you employed this person?"

“I’ve had people employed since I started working here.”

The old lady was immediately extremely sad.

He pounded his fists on the bed.

The bowl next to the bed was smashed on the floor.

Aunt Zhou still didn't show up.

Guo Hongjun had already asked for leave, and Aunt Zhou finally arrived late this week.

When she saw Guo Hongjun, she knew it was all over...

The head chef wasn't here today, so Su Qiao could only hang a "Closed" sign outside the door.

She originally wanted to show everyone her cooking skills.

Anyway, nobody here knows her true skill level.

But he couldn't resist the fact that Zhao Gou was sitting next to him.

He smiled and stopped Su Qiao.

"It's alright, we know the place now. We can come back and try it later."

Su Qiao nodded with some regret.

I went back inside and prepared return gifts for a few people.

Before she could even leave, the group of people tacitly departed.

Fortunately, Su Qiao had overheard their address beforehand.

In the afternoon, I took some gifts and went to deliver them to a few people in return.

She'll be even busier in a while, and it wouldn't be good if she forgot about it.

Su Qiao stood in front of a large courtyard.

She went to see Professor Rongde first.

As luck would have it, Professor Rongde was playing chess with Zhao Gou in the park.

Su Qiao happened to be passing by and saw it.

That saved us the trouble of going to their homes to find them.

Rongde and Zhao Gou both liked this kind of younger generation very much.

The three of them had a very pleasant conversation.

"Today, I was unable to let everyone enjoy the restaurant's food, so I can only give you two some 'ingredients' instead."

Rongde really thought it was food.

He was all smiles.

Zhao Gou was also very pleased.

Su Qiao knew the two still wanted to play chess, so she left her gift and tried to leave.

A tall, slender figure walked over from not far away.

Her appearance and temperament are both excellent.
