Chapter 55 Chapter 55 Hong Guo asked hurriedly: "Second Uncle, who is that person...
Hongguo wants to rent a counter in a department store in Shenzhen to sell jade, and Xiaozheng wants to open a store.
Hong Guo expressed her own considerations. If she were to buy such expensive jewelry, she would certainly trust the reputation of the department store. No matter how good a private store sounds, who knows when it will close? The department store requires deposits and payments to be paid through a unified account, which can make people feel at ease.
Gu Changzong said: "Hongguo's decision was not wrong. If you don't listen to my advice, then each of you can do your own thing."
Xiao Zheng refused to do that: "Brother Zong, you just want to get rid of me, right? You can't get rid of me."
Shi Jinzhou said the same: "Me too. Making money is actually boring, but I am willing to make money with you. I originally wanted to go to the provincial capital with you. I am so happy that you can stay and open a store."
Shi Jinzhou was an agent for a brand in a department store, and the negotiations went smoothly. He obtained qualifications to build a factory, recruited craftsmen, and obtained materials for production. All these were done by Xiao Zheng and Shi Jinzhou. By the time the counter was put on display with a wide variety of jade and gold jewellery, the Chinese New Year was almost approaching.
Hongguo had not expected the bustle at the counter on the opening day. Shi Jinzhou invited a celebrity to cut the ribbon, and even the TV station came. However, Hongguo refused to stand in front. She did not want to be on TV at all, and stood far away from Changzong.
The little one loves to be in the crowd and he always gets close to other celebrities. He is also very lovable and was held in the middle of the crowd. Many photos were taken of him. When he grows up a little, this child will be able to show off enough.
The counter has been open for several days and business is still good. The turnover in the past few days is already higher than the monthly turnover of the jade shop in the provincial capital. Everyone is motivated to make money.
They had to discuss where to spend the New Year. As long as he was with Hongguo, it didn't matter where Changzong was. Hongguo wanted to go back to the provincial capital. No matter how good the hotel was, it couldn't be better than home in the provincial capital.
Xiao Zheng would rather stay in Shenzhen and see what Lao Zheng means: "I will celebrate the New Year wherever my uncle celebrates the New Year."
Shi Jinzhou was originally planning to return to Hong Kong, but seeing what Hong Guo and Gu Changzong meant to do, he decided not to go back if they wanted to stay and celebrate the New Year with so many people.
Hongguo hesitated. What should he do? He wanted to stay, but also wanted to go back. When he was struggling with the dilemma, he got a call from the provincial capital. Changzong's mother asked him to go back and see her during the New Year.
Chang Zong was too lazy to answer: "I haven't cared about you for so many years, and you want to reunite during the New Year? No need."
Hongguo was thinking about other things. After all, she was his biological mother. Even if they hadn't seen each other for a long time, she was afraid that Changzong would notice that he was different from the son she had in mind.
Hongguo said she didn't want to go back for the New Year, but her second uncle called. Knowing that Hongguo was the one in charge, she told Hongguo to go back and told her that it had nothing to do with a New Year reunion, but that there were some other things he wanted to ask about, but she wouldn't tell her over the phone. Hongguo was worried and decided to go back to the provincial capital.
At that time, Jinzhou had no choice, so he returned to Hong Kong, and Gu Changzong asked Qu Lian to go with him to protect him.
Changzong spoke bluntly, saying that he had invested too much in Shi Jinzhou and he could not afford to make any mistakes.
Shi Jinzhou said: "Brother Zong, you care about me, so why do you say such cold-blooded words?"
Gu Changzong didn't want to answer. He was just telling the truth and there was no need to be hypocritical.
Shi Jinzhou felt that he understood Gu Changzong better than he knew himself. Brother Zong was just hard on the outside but soft on the inside. He discovered this when he accompanied him back to seek revenge.
Qu Lian is not only strong, but also very powerful. He doesn't look stupid at all. He just rarely speaks a few words a day.
In the past few months, Qu Lian solved several disturbances with violence. Shi Jinzhou was not pretentious. He went back with Qu Lian, who could confuse people and ensure safety. Zong Ge was so extraordinary and Hong Guo was also powerful. He wanted to come back again and do some interesting business together.
After making the arrangements, Changzong drove the group back to the provincial capital.
After arriving at the provincial capital, Hongguo did not rush to find her second uncle. She cleaned the house first. Xiao Zheng went back to the store and then said he would buy some cooked food and come over for dinner in the evening.
Several months have passed since I went to Shenzhen in September and came back to celebrate the Chinese New Year. Grandma Kong helped clean the house in the meantime, but there is still a lot of dust.
Changzong asked Hongguo to take a rest, but how could Hongguo be willing to do so? It wasn't tiring to help sweep the floor and wipe the dust. After everything was done, Hongguo took a shower, had a good sleep, and felt full of energy. Then she called her second uncle and told him she was back.
I thought my second uncle couldn't wait and would come over now or ask her to go right away, but my second uncle said on the other end of the phone: "It's good that you're back. I'll talk to you tomorrow."
Second uncle was talking about you, not you guys, so second uncle was looking for Hongguo, not Changzong.
Hongguo was really confused. She put down the phone and said to Changzong in confusion: "I heard my second uncle arguing with someone on the other end of the phone. Should we go and check it out?"
Gu Changzong asked: "What did my second uncle say on the phone?"
"Look for me later."
"Then we'll talk about it tomorrow." Gu Changzong was not in a hurry at all, and said to Hong Guo: "If it's really something important that can't wait, he won't ask us to come back, he will go directly to Shenzhen to find us."
That's true. Besides, there's no point in being anxious. Hongguo didn't want to go to her second uncle first with a guilty conscience. Xiao Zheng happened to buy some vegetables, and Changzong made two vegetarian dishes, and they had dinner together.
Since we're back for the New Year, we need to prepare some New Year's goods. We won't buy any salty or braised food, but we love fried tofu balls, so we need to prepare a few more pots. Early the next morning, Hongguo urged Changzong to go buy some.
Gu Changzong was waiting to go to his second uncle's house and said, "Didn't my second uncle want to talk to us?"
Hong Guo smiled and said, "Second Uncle is looking for me, not us. Go and do your thing. I'll be waiting at home."
It was a small detail of just one word difference, but Gu Changzong didn't notice it last night. He trusted Hongguo, and no matter what shocking things his second uncle and Hongguo said, Hongguo would stand on his side. In order to make it easier for Hongguo to find his second uncle, he also called Lao Zheng and took Xiaobutian with him, and went to the vegetable market early.
Hongguo waited at home until the morning before she received a call from her second uncle. It was the end of the year and her second uncle was busy at work, so he said he couldn't come and asked Hongguo if she could go instead.
Hongguo had several terrible thoughts in her mind in an instant. Could it be that her second uncle wanted to trick her into the police station and then arrest her for interrogation?
Hongguo felt guilty, so she had some outrageous thoughts, but she knew that the police would not arrest people like this, let alone his second uncle. If they really wanted to arrest someone, his second uncle would need to avoid suspicion.
Hongguo told herself to stay calm and go check out the situation first. She arrived at the Public Security Bureau, told the guard her second uncle's name, and waited to be called in. After waiting for a while, her second uncle came out.
The second uncle smiled and said, "I specially waited until noon to ask you to come. Come on, the second uncle will treat you to a meal."
She was still in the mood to eat, so it was probably nothing serious. But since there were only her and her, it might be something that was not convenient for others to hear. Hongguo guessed that it was still related to Changzong.
My second uncle was very familiar with the owner of the restaurant and had reserved a small private room in advance. After the owner served two bowls of shredded pork noodles, he told my second uncle that no one would come up to the second floor.
Second uncle pushed a bowl of shredded pork (which looked more plentiful) to Hongguo and told her to eat first: "We can talk after you finish eating."
Hong Guo joked, "Second Uncle, you're afraid that if you say you can't eat, the food will be wasted, right?"
My second uncle smiled and said, "Yes, and only when you are full can you have the strength to talk. Eat quickly. We are very busy at the end of the year and I have to go back to work soon."
In fact, it was because the second uncle brought Hongguo out to talk instead of in the police station that Hongguo felt more at ease. Then he said he would go back to work soon, and everything would be even fine.
Hong Guo quickly ate the noodles, then said, "Uncle, if you have anything to ask, just ask."
Gu Changxin sighed and said that Chang Zong’s biological mother wanted to come to visit Chang Zong yesterday, but he refused and made an appointment with Hong Guo on the phone, and only then did Chang Zong’s biological mother leave.
It turned out that Hongguo was talking to her second uncle on the phone yesterday, and the quarrel she heard was from Changzong's biological mother.
My second uncle said, "My sister is getting more and more afraid of death. She went to the hospital for checkups and complained about dizziness and pain. Someone told her that Chang Zong could save people, so she insisted that Chang Zong treat her. I got angry, so she gave me a name and asked me to investigate. I ignored her. Who is that Yu Hai? Why do people say Chang Zong can cure diseases? Chang Zong has never studied medicine, so how can he treat people? Now Chang Zong's mother believes it without a doubt. It's not that I'm pressuring her, she has already found Chang Zong."
Hong Guo was so angry that she wanted to die. She didn't know why Yu Hai went crazy. Could it be that Yu Hai's genetic blood disease had also flared up?
Hong Guo said it was business competition: "Maybe they wanted Chang Zong to be stuck in his hometown and couldn't go to Shenzhen to compete with her for business. Second uncle, you have the ability to judge whether Chang Zong can be cured. We won't go to my mother-in-law's place."
If it was just this matter, my second uncle wouldn't have come to find Hongguo specifically.
He said, "It's just a small matter with Changzong's mother. With me here, my sister won't bother you. But Hongguo, someone with a personal connection found my old director, and the old director found me and asked me to help find out. In 1983, Changzong's grandmother was rehabilitated, and Changzong was supposed to come back. Why hasn't he come back?"
Hongguo felt numb whenever she mentioned the bus accident in her hometown county. She was afraid of people mentioning it, let alone asking her second uncle.
Hong Guo asked hurriedly, "Second uncle, who is that person? Why is he asking about Changzong's affairs?"
My second uncle said, "There was a history professor who was persecuted in the early days of the Cultural Revolution. The old director was unable to help him and still feels guilty. I just wanted to get some information, so I agreed. Since it was not a public matter but a personal matter, I wanted to refuse. But then I thought, if I ask someone else, wouldn't it be even more troublesome? It would be better for me to ask."
Hong Guo said hurriedly, "He didn't come back because of a car accident. Chang Zong has thought it through and said that coming back is not as important as being with me. But I don't think he wants to ask this. When will he come back? I'd like to talk to him in person."
Fortunately it was Hongguo, if it was Changzong, he would have probably walked away in anger.
The second uncle seemed relieved and said with a smile, "He just couldn't come back, so he asked someone to inquire. This is your privacy. My old leader is in a difficult situation, and so is my uncle. If you don't mind, that's even better. In this way, my uncle will give you his contact number, and you can communicate better by yourselves."
Hong Guo secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Uncle, I didn't think it was a big deal. You've been worrying me until now. Why didn't you just call and ask yesterday?"
My second uncle said that wouldn't work: "It's your privacy anyway. Don't you understand my job? Only if you are willing, can I help you. Okay, it's the end of the year, go back quickly, and I will also tell my old boss to rest assured and have a good new year."
Hongguo said goodbye to his second uncle as if nothing had happened and returned home. Just as he was about to call the history professor who had inquired about Changzong, he heard that Changzong had returned from buying New Year's meals and brought back a package.
"Guoguo, Lao Jiao sent this from Yunnan. It's quite heavy. He said it's made of stone. You can feel it to see its quality."
