That day, Xu Xiangyang had just returned home when he saw a Jeep parked at the door.
Logically speaking, they shouldn't know anyone who can drive this car, but then they remembered their old commander, who had driven this car before.
Upon entering the courtyard, he indeed heard the old commander's hearty laughter.
The doors to the house were wide open, so you could see several people at a glance.
Xu Xiangyang walked in and saw the old leader and Lu Qingshu sitting in chairs, with a young man next to them.
He had met this person before; he was the old chief's grandson, Cao Yajun's half-brother, and Gu Panyun's lover.
Wow.
Thinking about it this way, this network of relationships is really messy.
"Xiangyang is back, come here." Wang Zhongshan smiled and waved to him.
Xu Xiangyang nodded and smiled at the others.
"The old commander came over and said he wanted to see you." Wang Zhongshan was also happy, not expecting that the old commander still remembered them.
Actually, they had contacted him before, so it was a long-standing relationship. He usually wouldn't bother the old leader.
After all, they're very busy; how could they possibly go looking for someone just because they need something?
He was quite happy that the old leader could take the time to come.
Xu Xiangyang bowed to the old commander and said, "Greetings, Commander."
"Very good." The old commander nodded with a smile and said, "Thanks to you that day, otherwise Qing Shu would have suffered a great loss."
Although he didn't say what it was about, Xu Xiangyang understood that it must be about saving Lu Qingshu that day.
Lu Qingshu sat to the side, her face expressionless.
It seems that that night left a deep impression on her, but then again, who doesn't have some kind of trauma?
"It's alright," Xu Xiangyang replied calmly. "Anyone who encountered this situation would have to lend a hand."
He doesn't know what others are thinking, but if he encounters them, he will definitely help.
Moreover, he didn't know that person was Lu Qingshu that night.
The old leader dismissed the answer, replying instead, "Xiao Xu, not everyone likes to help others. I'm glad you saved Qing Shu."
He was genuinely grateful, but the thought of the miserable state the person would be in after they were found...
He was already half-dead, but he didn't let the person go and dealt with him directly.
However, he also admired Xu Xiangyang's ruthless methods. Only by being ruthless can one become a powerful man.
Suddenly, he remembered something and asked, "Xiaoduo is much older now, does she have a boyfriend?"
Hearing this, the whole family was stunned. Just a moment ago they were confused, as if they had heard that Xu Xiangyang had saved someone.
Why are you suddenly bringing up personal matters?
Xu Xiangyang was also stunned. Could it be that she wanted to introduce him to someone?
No, he shouldn't waste his prime years!
I finally managed to put my family at ease, why does the old leader have to join in the fun too?
Lu Qingshu, who was standing to the side, was also stunned. Then she blushed and quickly tugged at her grandfather next to her.
The old leader chuckled, seeing his granddaughter blush, he knew she was shy.
His granddaughter is already twenty-five, practically an old maid, that won't do. He thinks Xu Xiangyang is quite nice, that's why he wanted to play matchmaker.
Xu Xiangyang snapped out of his daze and said with a troubled expression, "Commander, I'm only twenty-one. I haven't thought about personal matters yet. I plan to wait another five or six years. It's not too late, after all, I'm still young."
Upon hearing this, the old commander's smile vanished instantly. Wasn't this a blatant rejection?
Xu Xiangyang wasn't afraid. After all, it was his own business, and if he agreed to it just because he was afraid of others, there would be even more trouble in the future.
Therefore, clearly stating now that you don't want to be in a relationship is the best way to do it.
Wang Zhongshan glanced at Xu Xiangyang, then at his old superior, but said nothing.
He didn't want to get involved in his eldest grandson's affairs, especially since they had already agreed not to get involved.
Lu Qingshu, however, had a complicated expression. She then pulled the old commander aside and said, "Grandpa, why did you ask about this as soon as you came up here? We came here today to thank Comrade Xu, not to inquire about these things."
The old leader's expression softened slightly, and he said, "Yes, we're here today to thank Xiao Xu. Look at me, even at my age I still love to meddle in other people's business."
That was the end of it, and the group had dinner there.
The Xu family brought out all their best things to entertain their guests, which was a great show of respect.
They didn't come empty-handed; they brought many gifts.
Before leaving after the meal, the old commander gave Xu Xiangyang a deep look and then departed.
Xu Xiangyang didn't say anything, his expression remained unchanged.
If he were truly afraid, why would he even be out there doing this?
Moreover, he didn't think the old leader could do anything to him, and the two families had previously gotten along quite well.
He also saved Lu Qingshu this time, so it's even less likely that he'd be angry about something like this.
After everyone left, Wang Xiumin breathed a sigh of relief, patted Xu Xiangyang and said, "You didn't want a date introduced to you by your old leader? You really have high standards."
Although they also felt that Xu Xiangyang was a bit arrogant, there was no way to say such things.
Wang Xiumin only said that and didn't say anything more.
As long as they don't interfere, it's fine.
Xu Xiangyang didn't take it seriously and went straight back to the courtyard across the street to sleep.
The rest of the day passed peacefully.
The black market has always been quite chaotic, and it took a lot of effort to sort things out.
Fortunately, the trolls are good at making friends, so with so many people, they have great strength, and it's only a matter of time before they can settle things.
As the year draws to a close, Xu Xiangyang looks at the annual report in front of him and feels very satisfied.
Although it hasn't been a full year yet, the garment factory's profits are still quite considerable.
Negotiations have already begun in the outside market, and after the Chinese New Year, we will start traveling to other places to take orders.
Actually, it would take two years to reach this point, but Xu Xiangyang felt that if he wanted to do well and grow big, he had to take big steps forward.
I've always been timid and hesitant. When will I be able to earn enough money to build a house?
The factory workers are all hoping that the factory will get better and better, so that they can be allocated housing and won't have to travel back and forth like this anymore.
It can also alleviate housing pressure for families with many members.
Seeing the data, Xu Xiangyang put down the document with satisfaction and said to Cai Mingang, "Secretary Cai, the finance department's annual report is finished. Let them have a couple of days off."
These past few days have been mostly a holiday, but the cafeteria is still operating, since everyone needs to eat.
They're on holiday, so where do the others go to eat?
Cai Mingang nodded to indicate that he understood, and then said, "Director Xu, Master Sun said that he would be on holiday with the last group of people, but I would like to know the specific time."
After all, it's almost Chinese New Year, and who wouldn't want to go home for the holidays as soon as possible?
Xu Xiangyang glanced at the calendar and said, "Then let's do it the day after tomorrow. Make sure the security department is on guard and there are no more problems. Also, we need to prepare for the New Year's Eve dinner. Have Chef Sun stay behind to work overtime; his salary will be doubled."
I'm working overtime during the Chinese New Year, but I can go home after I've made the New Year's Eve dinner.
However, the others have to stay, since we can't leave anyone behind.
