After dinner, Xia Lei made Long Bing a cup of Pu'er tea.
Long Bing sat on the sofa, quietly sipping tea. The light shines on her body, her fair skin, black dress, and gently stretched long legs. Everything about her is so beautiful. If she wasn't so cold and inhumane, she would be a charming woman.
Xia Lei looked at her and saw the outline of the pistol on the outside of her thigh. He couldn't help but feel speechless. She even brought a gun with her when she came to have a meal. Was there ever a time when she didn't bring a gun
"Xia Xue is good. She is a very well-behaved girl. I like her very much." Long Bing put down the teacup.
Xia Lei smiled and said: "She is indeed very well-behaved. Thank you for taking care of her in Kyoto."
Long Bing frowned slightly, "Do you have to be so polite to me?"
Xia Lei said awkwardly: "Okay, I won't say thank you."
"I'm leaving." Long Bing stood up and said.
Xia Lei also stood up, "Why don't you sit down for a while?"
"No, we still have to catch a flight." Long Bing walked towards the door.
Xia Lei rushed ahead of Long Bing and opened the door for her, "Then walk slowly and call me when you have time."
Long Bing stopped at the door and looked directly at Xia Lei, "Remember my words, your grudge with Huang Yihu has been settled, don't provoke the Gu family."
Xia Lei nodded and said, "I know very well how many pounds I have. Don't worry, I won't provoke anyone from the Gu family."
"Well, that's good." Long Bing paused and said: "Also, it's good for you to be like this now. Don't do anything to disgrace the country. If you do something to disgrace the country, I will not let you go. .”
Xia Lei smiled bitterly, "Why do you suddenly think of telling me this? Do I look like the bad guy in your eyes?"
"I'm just saying casually, come back, don't send it off." Long Bing patted Xia Lei on the shoulder and went out and went downstairs.
However, Xia Lei stood at the door for a long time before closing the door and going back to the house. He felt very strange in his heart, "She was so strange tonight. First she asked me a lot of questions about my father, and then she reminded me not to do anything that would disgrace the country." , does she doubt my father or me?"
The appearance of his father Xia Changhe came to Xia Lei's mind again. He went to the TV cabinet and took out the glass bottle placed behind the family photo frame. The white pill lay quietly at the bottom of the bottle, simple and ordinary, looking like a forgotten amoxicillin capsule.
He opened the bottle cap and took out the pill. He sniffed the pill, and it still smelled the same as it did three years ago. There was no smell of medicine, but a smell similar to engine lubricating oil, which was very strange.
He still remembered that when his father Xia Changhe gave him this pill for the first time, he asked why the pill had such a strange smell, but his father Xia Changhe did not tell him and just asked him to take the medicine.
"Dad, what do you do? Are you still in this world? If you are still here, why don't you go home?" Xia Lei's mind was filled with many questions. The longing for his father was also aroused, and the corners of his eyes became moist.
Jingle bell, jingle bell…
A string of cell phone ringtones interrupted Xia Lei's thoughts. He put the pills into the glass bottle, and then placed the glass bottle behind the family portrait. Then he took out his cell phone and answered the call.
The call was from Jiang Ruyi, "Leizi, is that woman gone?"
Xia Lei said: "Leave, just left not long ago."
"Just leave. Why should she care about you? Who is she to you? Really." Jiang Ruyi complained and vented for a while before adding: "Do you want to come and see? It's such an ugly death. Huang Yihu's His eyes were bulging out and his tongue was hanging out..."
Xia Lei suddenly felt nauseous, and he quickly interrupted Jiang Ruyi, "Stop talking, you called me specifically to disgust me, right?"
"I'm happy for Xiao An and you. If you see Huang Yihu like this, you will definitely be very happy." Jiang Ruyi said.
Xia Lei should be happy that Huang Yihu died, but he didn't know why he didn't have the pleasure of getting revenge. When a person dies, grievances and grudges are also extinguished. The dead won't feel anything, and what's the point of the living being happy for a while
"Did he really hang himself?" Xia Lei recalled the scene he saw in the interrogation room of the police station during the day, the sneer of the middle-aged man named Shi when he left, and the sentence he called Huang Yihu a fool.
"He really hanged himself to death, hanging himself with shoelaces."
Xia Lei said: "Where is Li Yulan?"
"Li Yulan is fine, we haven't told her yet." Jiang Ruyi said, "Will you come or not? If not, I'll die. I don't have time to chat with you."
Xia Lei hesitated for a moment, "Forget it, I won't come. This is your police's business, and I don't want to interfere."
"Okay, good night, I wish you a nightmare." Jiang Ruyi said and hung up the phone.
Xia Lei shook his head with a wry smile and put away his phone. He was still thinking about Huang Yihu's suicide.
Who feels most at ease when Huang Yihu dies? Of course it's the officials who were involved, and the Gu family, because only the dead have a sure mouth. According to the logic that whoever benefits the most is the most suspect, then those officials and the Gu family are the most suspect. And among the two, only the Gu family has the strength to keep Huang Yihu shut forever in the detention center!
"The Gu family is the most suspicious. With Long Bing's strength, how could she not guess this? But even she won't help, so why should I help?" After thinking about it, Xia Lei calmed down, "Once Huang Yihu dies, Ma Xiao An's revenge has been avenged, and the grudge between Huang Yihu and me has been wiped out. I don't need to worry about these things anymore. Have a good sleep, go to the construction site tomorrow, and build the Thunder Horse System is what I should worry about, um, Go to sleep!"
When passing by the living room, Xia Lei took another look at the family photo placed on the TV cabinet, and then went back to the house to sleep.
After Huang Yihu died, no one came to the construction site to cause trouble, and the project progressed quickly and steadily.
Xia Lei would visit the construction site every day, and then go to the studio on the street. The Thunder Horse Manufacturing Company has not yet been built, but the Thunder Horse Studio still has orders to complete, so Chen Ajiao, Zhou Xiaohong and others are still working in the Thunder Horse Studio. Once Thunder Horse Manufacturing Company is established, Xia Lei will close the studio and transfer Zhou Xiaohong and others back to the company.
In addition to the construction site and studio, Xia Lei also did not miss learning Wing Chun. After finishing work at the construction site every day, he would drive Liang Siyao home, and then learn Wing Chun from Liang Zhengchun and practice with Liang Siyao. If it was still early, he would drive home. If it got late after practicing boxing for a long time, he would simply spend the night at Liang's house. Master's home is his own home, and there is no problem of inconvenience for him.
When they were at the Liang family, Xia Lei's cooking skills also made Liang Zhengchun and Liang Siyao happy. The father and daughter were full of praise for his cooking skills. If he stopped cooking one night, they would not get used to it. That's true. A diligent and motivated apprentice who is also good at cooking. What's not to like about being a master and a senior sister
One month later.
A month ago, Lot 13 was an open space covered with weeds, but a month later today, a factory has been erected. The factory is not big, but it has workshops, warehouses, office buildings, canteens and dormitories, and there are quite a few of them.
The office building is a four-story steel structure building. The three and four floors above are the office area of Leima Manufacturing Company, and the first, first and second floors below are used for supermarkets. Because of the plan to build a supermarket, Xia Lei was forced to ask Mayor Hu Hou for a low-interest loan of 6 million, part of which was used to pay for the project of Forester New Building Materials Company, and part of which was used to purchase equipment and materials.
The studio on the street ended its existence the day before Thunder Horse Manufacturing Company was built, and Zhou Xiaohong and others also came to the newly built factory. Several employees at Thunder Horse Studio are skilled workers and veterans of the company. Xia Lei has not forgotten them. Everyone has been given a suitable position, such as team leader, section leader, etc. Zhou Xiaohong had the highest position among these old employees, and Xia Lei gave her the position of workshop director. The woman from the mountains was all smiles.
The old employees happen to lead the technical school graduates recruited from technical schools. They are all young and need some older people to lead them.
Fresh college graduates recruited from polytechnics are stationed in the office building, and they have different missions. They will design products belonging to Thunder Horse Manufacturing Company, they will assist Xia Lei in managing this company, they will bring new orders to Thunder Horse Manufacturing Company, they will operate the capital operations of Thunder Horse Manufacturing Company, and so on. Although they are all young and have no work experience, Xia Lei believes in them and is willing to work hard with them to create a future made by Thunder Horse.
As Mayor Hu Hou and Xia Lei dropped their scissors, a big red silk flower fell into the plate held by Liang Siyao, and a warm applause erupted in front of the gate of Thunder Horse Manufacturing Company.
"Mr. Xia, congratulations." Mayor Hu Hou shook hands with Xia Lei, with a friendly smile on his face. "Work hard. The future of this world belongs to you young people."
Xia Lei smiled and said, "Thank you, Mayor Hu, for coming to our company's ribbon-cutting ceremony."
Hu Hou smiled and said: "Thank you for what? It's an honor for you to invite me here. Your company is small and inconspicuous, but I believe you can make it bigger and stronger. Maybe, your Thunder Horse Manufacturing Company It will become the second Oriental Heavy Industries in the local area!"
"I will work hard not to disappoint Mayor Hu." Xia Lei said politely. Such kind words are essential when dealing with leaders.
Lunch was held in the canteen of Thunder Horse Manufacturing Company. The meals were all work meals, without good wine or food, but the scene was very lively.
After the meal, Mayor Hu Hou left with his secretary, and Xia Lei and Qin Xiang also went to the supermarket area below the office building. The supermarket area was empty, not a single shelf, not a single cashier.
"When will it open?" Qin Xiang glanced around the empty supermarket area, looking a little anxious, "You asked me to manage the supermarket for you, but there isn't even a pack of sanitary napkins here? I don't care."
Xia Lei smiled and said, "Why do you want a sanitary napkin?"
"I..." Qin Xiang said awkwardly: "I'm just making a metaphor, I want sanitary napkins... why do you care if I want sanitary napkins?"
"Okay, I'm not kidding you." Xia Lei said seriously: "I really want our supermarket to open immediately, which can also relieve some of my financial pressure. But the decoration cost of the supermarket is at least hundreds of thousands, and the cost of distributing goods It can easily cost millions. I calculated that our supermarket needs less than three or four million to open, and I already have no money in my hand. I have to pay my salary at the end of the month with the remaining money, so I don’t dare to move."
"Let's borrow it from Hu Hou again." Qin Xiang said, "If he can lend you six million, he can lend you another ten million."
Xia Lei smiled bitterly and said: "They are lending me money to open a company, and they are looking at the China Industrial Group. When I borrow money to open a supermarket, they still don't give me a big look? I originally opened a supermarket on this land. It’s just an act of taking advantage, you can’t just be good after getting an advantage.”
"What should we do?"
Xia Lei thought for a moment and said, "Go and get in touch to see if there is a supplier who is willing to distribute the goods first and then settle the bill. If so, you can directly sign a contract with him on my behalf. I will also go and establish relationships here. Find a supplier like this.”
Qin Xiang sighed, "Okay, I'll try it."
Xia Lei said: "Well, dress more formally."
"Death sign." Qin Xiang pinched her waist and glared at Xia Lei.
Xia Lei felt that he had said all these words in vain.
