Unconsciously, the time has arrived in 1985. As the spring breeze of reform blew across the country, more and more people began to go to sea to start business.
Some people become rich overnight, while others lose their families overnight.
This morning, Xu Damao had just come out from his parents' early greetings. When he was about to go see Lou's father and Lou's mother, Liu Haizhong stopped Xu Damao.
"Da Mao, don't get me wrong, it's not me, it's someone who wants to see you."
Liu Haizhong seemed a little confident at this time, as if Xu Damao would definitely agree.
Seeing his confident look, Xu Damao was also curious and said:
"Oh? Then who do you think wants to see me?"
"The former Director Li, Li Fugui." Seeing that Xu Damao didn't show any surprised expression, Liu Haizhong continued unwillingly:
"Director Li has made a fortune now, and he wants to help you make a fortune, so I want to meet you outside, at a restaurant that has become very popular recently."
Xu Damao did not expect that Director Li would come to him. He thought that Xu Damao also received a lot of care from Director Li. Although Director Li wanted to balance power, of course Xu Damao also gave Xu Damao money, but in the end he still treated Xu Damao during that period.
Not bad.
No matter what happens, Xu Damao wants to give him this face, so let’s meet him and see how the formerly powerful Director Li is doing now.
Thinking of this, Xu Damao no longer hesitated, looked at Liu Haizhong and asked:
"When exactly?"
There was obvious joy in Liu Haizhong's eyes. He was also a little surprised by Xu Damao's cheerfulness, but he did not hesitate.
"Right now, he is waiting for you over there. I will take you there right now."
After saying that, Liu Haizhong took Xu Damao to the hotel where Director Li was waiting.
Xu Damao looked at Liu Haizhong, who was leading the way. It seemed that all this had been planned, and he didn't know what kind of medicine they were selling in the gourd.
Looking at the place where Liu Haizhong took him, Xu Damao smiled. He didn't expect that Director Li would treat him to dinner at the restaurant Xu Damao invested in.
Although most people in this hotel don't know Xu Damao, this is also because Xu Damao never reveals his true identity and is a low-key person. Otherwise, everyone in the hospital would probably be shocked.
"Xiaodang, Huaihua, why do you work here?"
Liu Haizhong was a little surprised when he saw Xiaodang and Huaihua working as waiters here.
However, Xu Damao was much calmer. He had known about it for a long time, and he secretly arranged the work of Xiaodang and Huaihua.
"It's Uncle Liu."
When they saw Xu Damao behind them, Xiaodang and Huaihua's eyes lit up. At this time, they couldn't care less about Liu Haizhong. They both walked towards Xu Damao quickly.
"Uncle Damao, why are you here? Come inside quickly."
"Ahem!"
The bangs on the side were also a little embarrassed and coughed a few times on purpose.
Seeing Xiaodang looking over in displeasure, Liu Haizhong didn't know what exactly offended her, but this was not the time to care about it.
"I have an appointment with Damao, I'm sorry."
Xiaodang and Huaihua were obviously a little disappointed when they heard this. Originally, they wanted to cultivate a relationship with Xu Damao and let Xu Damao help them.
They have had enough of working as waiters here, and they want to see if Xu Damao can give them promotions or something.
"I'm sorry, Xiaodang, Sophora japonica, it seems we have to eat together next time." Xu Damao apologized.
Liu Haizhong did not hesitate at this time and took Xu Damao to the private room where Director Li was.
When Xu Damao entered the room, he didn't expect that it was quite full of people. Most of Director Li's people were there.
"Da Mao, you finally came, don't say anything, punish yourself three times first."
Director Li looked at Xu Damao coming in without being polite at all, as if he and Xu Damao were good friends.
"It's Damao, you can't refuse this time."
"Da Mao, drink quickly."
……
At this time, several people who were familiar with each other at the steel rolling mill also started to persuade them to drink, and they and Director Li basically stood together.
Xu Damao was also so kind that he drank three glasses of wine without saying a word.
"I didn't expect you, Damao, to drink so well now." Director Li was also amazed.
The eyes of the people nearby also looked a little strange. They didn't expect Xu Damao to be so good at drinking.
"By the way, Damao, let me introduce you to them. I don't think I need to introduce them. The beauty next to me is called You Fengxia. What do you think? Isn't she stunning?" Director Li said. p>
"Mr. Xu, I often hear Boss Li mention you. It's a great honor to meet you."
Seeing You Fengxia hand over a handshake, Xu Damao did not refuse.
"I'm very happy to see you too, you are so beautiful."
You Fengxia obviously did not expect that Xu Damao would tease her, and she was a little at a loss at this time.
After Director Li saw it, he also rushed to the rescue.
"Boss You, Damao has a wife, and his wife is no worse than you."
Director Li specifically pointed out that Xu Damao had a wife. He also wanted to tell You Fengxia not to have any ideas about Xu Damao anymore, and at the same time, he also wanted to warn Xu Damao.
After all, You Fengxia is the woman he likes, and he doesn't want to let the duck fly.
"Oh, then I'll have to take a look some other time. Don't be unwelcome to Mr. Xu then."
You Fengxia is not a fuel-efficient lamp either. When she heard what Director Li said, she immediately reacted.
"Welcome, welcome. I will definitely be ready at home when the time comes. Boss You is always welcome to disturb me," Xu Damao said.
……
Seeing that he was almost done drinking, Director Li also revealed his purpose.
"Da Mao, I'm going to do something big recently. Are you interested in doing it together? You see, we are all making a lot of money recently.
At that time, when we were working in the steel mill, you were the most resourceful, and we also wanted you to give us some advice.
Don’t worry, I won’t treat you badly. If it succeeds, you will make a lot of money.
How about it, are you interested?"
Several people nearby also began to persuade Xu Damao to come.
"Da Mao, this is a business to make a fortune. It will cover our salary for several years at a time. You have to think clearly."
"Da Mao, don't hesitate, let's do it together."
……
Seeing several people acting like I'm good for you, Xu Damao was also a little speechless. Isn't it just smuggling? As for what he said, it's so frivolous. Besides, am I a person who is short of money now? Who am I looking down on?
Liu Haizhong looked at Xu Damao and hesitated several times. It was obvious that he was very excited about the big-money business that Director Li and others talked about, but he also knew how much he weighed.
Director Li and the others were able to lead him because of Xu Damao's face, otherwise who would look for him?
"Sorry everyone, all my money is with my wife now, and I am powerless."
Xu Damao can't help but praise his acting skills now. Whether it's his tone of voice or his helpless expression, Xu Damao knows it very well.
