Chapter 601 603. Gift Giving
Gu Wenheng, "I haven't even taken it out yet, why are you guys interested in it?
Aren't you afraid that I might just pick something out to fool you?"
He Gaofei, "How is this possible? I don't think Lord Gu can afford those cheap things."
His two companions also kept nodding their heads, agreeing with what he said.
Gu Wenheng, "You really got it right. It's really not a valuable item."
As he spoke, he pulled out three wooden signs from his bosom and said, "Look, this is the gift I prepared for you. Do you like it?"
Jokes aside, when they saw the wooden sign, they were only stunned for a moment, then they happily took it with both hands.
He Gaofei and the others couldn't figure out what it was, but since it was a gift from Master Gu, they all took it in their hands and played with it.
The two strange shapes looked like the words "Tianhu", but it was hard to tell what was wrong with them.
"Are you a little disappointed? They're just two small wooden signs." Gu Wenheng saw them staring at the wooden signs in their hands, trying to figure out what they meant, and couldn't help but said with a smile.
"It is a little strange. I hope you can enlighten me." Now, the three of them have developed the habit of asking when they don't understand.
Gu Wenheng, "This is the VIP card of Tianfu Restaurant. From now on, with this card, the shopkeepers of Tianfu Restaurant in various places will treat you according to the highest standards, and the food and drinks you eat will be discounted by 40%."
Why not for free? Gu Wenheng and Jin Qianqian have never had such an idea. To do business, one must always make sure to break even, otherwise he wouldn't dare to release this brand.
"This is good, exactly what I need." Wu Yichen suddenly felt that the wooden sign in his hand was precious. He flipped through it carefully and quickly hid it in his arms.
He Gaofei, "Thank you, Master Gu. This way, I can also go for a drink occasionally to improve my life."
After Lu Shenggen hid the things more directly, he patted them twice to make sure they were hidden properly. "It's a pity that I don't have anything to give you as a return gift right now. I'll give it to you when I return to the capital."
I was also thinking, whether I could ask the old man to publish a book among the collection of books in the mansion. After all, this relationship should be maintained, maybe we can work together again someday.
He Gaofei and Wu Yichen also hurriedly said that they would make up for it when they returned to Beijing.
Gu Wenheng waved his hand nonchalantly, "We brothers have worked together for several years, so we don't talk about those empty words.
I hope that no matter where you are in the future, we can keep in touch.”
We used to work together as superiors and subordinates, but after leaving here, we will just be simple colleagues.
Several people wanted to protect it, so they naturally agreed.
"Should we go downstairs and wait for General Zhou and the others?"
He Gaofei thought that he had a banquet for several other generals today, so they finished their work in the government office and came over early.
Looking at the time, several generals should be arriving soon, especially those whose official positions are higher than mine, so it is time to go down and greet them.
Although Gu Wenheng had a good personal relationship with several generals, he also knew their concerns, "Then let's go down together and wait."
They didn't have to wait long before Zhou Shixiong and several of Wang Liqiang's confidants arrived.
They greeted each other and went to the private room together.
"Lord Gu, I haven't seen you for a while. You seem to have gained some weight." General Wang said jokingly when he saw Gu Wenheng.
Gu Wenheng looked down at his waist and found that he had indeed gained some weight.
"Brother Gu, you are in high spirits because of happy events. It is inevitable that you feel happy and fat." Zhou Shixiong also joined in and said with a smile.
"You have been at sea these days, so naturally you don't know some interesting things in Lucheng. Our brother Gu is now the darling of the people of Lucheng. As long as there are good things in the family, they will be sent to the prefectural government."
Wang Liqiang's face was full of interest. Ever since he became the commander of the navy, he was so busy that he couldn't leave the sea.
This time I have a rare chance to take a break from my busy schedule, so I should really listen to some gossip.
When he heard what the people of Lucheng had done, he showed envy on his face, "Brother Gu, your efforts over the past few years have not been in vain as you have won the love of the people here."
Not to mention the people of Lucheng, even she can have her current position as the general thanks to Gu Wenheng.
If it weren't for his advice, confiscating so many ships from the Dongyi, and providing detailed drawings for building ships, today's navy would have become an empty talk as in the past.
The generals always said what they wanted to say directly, "Speaking of which, I have to send a gift to the mansion. Lord Gu has helped me a lot in the past few years, so I should also send a generous gift."
Gu Wenheng stood up at this moment and bowed to Wang Liqiang, "General Wang, you are really embarrassing me by saying this."
Zhou Shixiong looked at him with a smile, "We are all brothers. Are you acting like this because you want something from them?"
Gu Wenheng, "Brother Zhou, you know me too well. I really need General Wang's help."
Wang Liqiang was very happy, "That's how it should be, we brothers should just speak frankly.
A rough guy like me, I would get impatient if you kept me guessing all day long.
Nowadays, there are no outsiders here, so Master Gu can speak directly if he has anything to say. "
Gu Wenheng, "I am about to leave office. We also have a small share in the maritime trade. I hope General Wang can take care of it in the future."
Gu Wenheng had already discussed the matter with them regarding the maritime trade leader.
Although it’s a pity, this is the best option.
"We are talking about two different opinions," Wang Liqiang responded readily, "Don't worry, as long as I am here, they won't dare to make any moves.
Besides, you have forgotten that I have also invested in your sea trade, and I will definitely not let them pay you a penny less."
Gu Wenheng found this full of banditry particularly pleasing to the ear. "It is also because we know that General Wang is still here that we dare to leave some shares."
Wang Liqiang liked to hear this, "We are all brothers, so we should take care of each other. It's just a pity that I don't know when we brothers can get together again."
If he hadn't squeezed out time today, he might not have been able to meet General Zhou and Gu Wenheng until they left Lucheng.
He Gaofei and his friends did have some scattered shares, but the amount was not large, not worth doing such a big favor, so they did not say anything and just listened quietly.
Zhou Shixiong, "That's not difficult. I will return to Beijing to report on my work. I will wait for you in Beijing then."
"Will the general really not go to other frontiers?"
Zhou Shixiong patted Wang Liqiang on the shoulder and said, "My Zhou family has been guarding the border for generations, and it's time to give the opportunity to others.
Besides, the Dongyi people won't dare to invade us in the short term, and the Maozi country next to us only wants to trade with us, so this area is temporarily stable.
What's more, now that we have your navy, the Dongyi will not even have time to run away when they see you, so how can they dare to come up and provoke you?"
