Chapter 220: Meet Lou Bancheng Again
"Why are you up so late? Where is Xu Damao?" Lou Xiao'e asked.
"He went to the countryside. Where is my house? Your father won't default on the debt, right?" Wang Tiedan said dissatisfiedly.
"My dad still wants to see you, come with me."
"You still want to see me, what's the matter?"
"Just follow me, don't talk nonsense!"
Lou Xiao'e pulled Wang Tiedan outside, which made many people in the courtyard look puzzled.
The two of them got into the back seat of the car together at the gate of the courtyard. Lou Xiao'e twitched her nose. The smell was inexplicably familiar, but she couldn't remember what it was.
"I heard from my dad that Xu Damao is selling some kind of medicine. It's very popular and hard to get a pill. Do you know?"
"Yes, it's used to treat Alzheimer's disease."
"When did he become capable of this? Why didn't I know about it?"
"When a man has been away for three days, he should be looked at with new eyes. You don't even understand this."
"Him?" Lou Xiao'e looked unconvinced.
"Don't disbelieve me. He goes to the countryside all day, crossing mountains and ridges. Maybe he has some adventures. Let me tell you in secret, Xu Damao will be an official by the end of the year. If you regret it, remarry him quickly. It's not too late."
Wang Tiedan said this deliberately.
"I don't want to. If he had the ability, he would have cured his illness long ago."
"Maybe it's fine now, you didn't ask him."
"Then I don't want it either. To tell you the truth, I'm leaving."
"Going to Hong Kong?"
"Ah."
Speaking of this, Lou Xiao'e felt a little sad. Beijing is where she grew up. All the people she knows and the familiar places are here. Going to Hong Kong may be a farewell forever.
"Just go, maybe you'll come back in a few years."
"Really? Can I really come back?"
"Sure!"
"I believe you."
The two of them were not very familiar with each other and just chatted casually. After a while, the car arrived at Fengzeyuan Restaurant.
Without asking any questions, Lou Xiao'e took Wang Tiedan and pushed open the door of a private room with ease.
"Dad, I'm here."
In the room, Lou Bancheng was reading documents. He raised his head when he heard the voice and pretended to be a little displeased.
"You're so old, why don't you know how to knock on the door!?"
Lou Xiao'e pouted and gave way to Wang Tiedan behind her.
"Hey, I brought the person to you. Xu Damao went to the countryside and is not here."
"Wang Tiedan, you are here, sit down." Lou Bancheng had already seen him and pointed at the chair.
"Hello, Director Lou."
Wang Tiedan was not polite either.
"Ah."
Lou Bancheng nodded.
"Xiao'e, go to the kitchen and tell them to prepare the food. Tiedan and I will talk alone."
"Oh~Okay." Lou Xiao'e walked out reluctantly and closed the door.
Lou Bancheng closed the file and said with a smile, "Tiedan, Xu Damao's medicine came from you, right?"
"Director Lou, where did you say this? I don't understand."
Wang Tiedan was shocked. He had never told anyone about the pharmaceutical manufacturing business. How did Lou Bancheng figure it out?
"Let's be frank. Your special bait is no secret. Unfortunately, when you and Hou Cong bought herbs to treat dementia, there happened to be several pharmacies owned by my Lou family.
The key point is that I also know that Xu Damao doesn’t have this luck, and you, three months ago, were unknown…”
"He is still unknown now." Wang Tiedan interrupted quickly.
If you continue talking, don't make up any more spiritual springs, or you will not be able to control your expression.
Lou Bancheng didn't care about Wang Tiedan's impoliteness and continued, "That's just because you don't want to. Anyway, compared to some otherworldly master, I believe that Xu Damao met you.
Don't worry, no one except me will know that you bought those herbs. "
"Director Lou, are you sure it's me?"
"If not you, then who else could do it? I lived in Beijing before the founding of the People's Republic of China for decades, and I have never heard of any miracle doctor curing an elderly person's dementia."
"Whatever, I won't admit it anyway."
"It's okay if you don't admit it."
As he spoke, Lou Bancheng took out another file bag from his side and pushed it in front of Wang Tiedan.
"Thank you for reminding me before. This is the courtyard I promised you. It has two entrances. Don't think it's too small."
"I don't mind, I don't mind, hehe."
Wang Tiedan hurriedly opened the file bag and took a look. Courtyard 101 was separated from Courtyard 95 by an alley and was quite close. It was obvious that they were specially selected.
"Thank you, Director Lou."
Lou Bancheng nodded.
"Tiedan, I won't hide it from you. My family might be gone before the end of the year. Do you have any suggestions?"
"suggestion?"
Wang Tiedan shook his head. Hong Kong was in a period of rapid development and was a hot spot. As long as there was capital, any pig could take off.
"I don't know anything about that. Please don't make it difficult for me."
"Then are you interested in following me to Hong Kong to develop your career?"
Wang Tiedan's head shook like a rattle.
"Director Xie Lou is so kind. I don't want to travel far away when my parents are still here. I think Sijiu City is pretty good."
"Okay, everyone has their own aspirations. I know you have a good relationship with Xu Damao. I'll buy a few boxes of medicine from him later. I hope you can help me tell him."
"He's your ex-son-in-law, I don't need to tell you, right?"
Wang Tiedan didn't fall for Lou Bancheng's tricks and carefully put the file bag into his arms.
Needless to say, that means promise.
Lou Bancheng completely misunderstood what Wang Tiedan meant.
"Thank you in advance."
Wang Tiedan paused, feeling like they were not on the same wavelength.
"You're welcome. Director Lou, please go ahead and do your work. I didn't tell my grandma that I came out. I'm afraid she'll be worried. I have to go back quickly."
"How about asking the store to pack your food?"
"No, no, I'll just go to Quanjude and grab some roast duck. Goodbye, Director Lou."
"Goodbye."
Lou Bancheng didn't stand up, but just watched Wang Tiedan leave.
On the other side, Lou Xiao'e ordered a few delicious dishes and happily rushed to the private room. She turned the corridor and threw her head into Wang Tiedan's arms.
The two separated quickly, and Lou Xiao'e's face turned red.
"Wang Tiedan, what are you doing? Why don't you look at people when you walk?"
"Hey, it was you who hit someone with the ball? You're actually blaming me!" Wang Tiedan said angrily, covering his chest.
"What do you mean by dribbling?"
When Lou Xiao'e saw Wang Tiedan's actions, her face immediately turned red with embarrassment.
"Wang Tiedan, you are shameless!"
"When have I ever been shameless? Don't slander me!"
"you you!"
Lou Xiao'e was too embarrassed to speak, so she turned around and ran back to the box.
Seeing Lou Xiao'e's panic, Lou Bancheng frowned and asked, "You're already an adult, why are you still so impatient?"
"It's Wang Tiedan. What kind of person is he? He hit someone and still blamed me. No, Dad, why is he gone?"
"Why don't you let him go and keep him for dinner? He's not my son-in-law."
"He thinks beautifully!"
Seeing that his daughter had no such intention at all, Lou Bancheng gave up the idea of matchmaking.
Lou Xiao'e sniffed and smelled a familiar scent again, but she just couldn't remember where it was.
