Chapter 426 Hometown People

At Qingliangli Station, a black Chevrolet Suburban was parked on the sidewalk outside the exit. In the back seat of the car, An Rushong leaned back in the seat and yawned heavily. Then he bent down and looked out the window in the direction of the exit, hoping to see the location of his three younger brothers.

However, after watching for a while, he did not see any trace of his brothers. Just when he was thinking of taking out his cell phone to call Ru Ze, someone knocked twice on the window on the other side of the car.

I turned my head in surprise and saw a thin, weathered middle-aged man with one hand on his brow, leaning on the car window and peering into the car.

The car window was one-way, so the middle-aged man naturally couldn't see what was going on inside. So he looked inside while gently tapping on the window glass with his right hand.

When he saw the middle-aged man for the first time, An Rushong was unable to recognize him directly. It was not until Luo Minzhi got out of the car and talked to the middle-aged man outside that An Rushong searched out the relevant information about the middle-aged man from his mind.

The middle-aged man was Luo Shengkui, the head of Yuantong Village. An Rusong had met him the last time he went back to his hometown. In the past period of time, An Rusong invested in a toy factory in his hometown through Sun Manzhu, mainly to do OEM for the "DreamToys" toy factory. As the head of the village, Luo Shengkui held a certain share in this toy factory.

Speaking of which, since handing this matter over to Sun Manzhu to deal with, An Rushong has not asked about the situation of the toy factory again. He doesn't know how the factory is built, whether it has officially started production, whether it has made any money, etc.

This is not to say that An Rusong doesn't care about family matters, the main thing is, well, he doesn't care about family matters. Back home, it's a little easier to get along with his brothers, but especially when getting along with his step-parents, An Rusong always feels an indescribable awkwardness.

In addition, there are indeed many things to do in Seoul, so he is even more lazy to care about things in his hometown.

In sharp contrast to An Rushong is Sun Manzhu. Since deciding to invest in building a toy OEM factory in Yuantongli, although An Rushong suggested that a manager be arranged from the "DreamToys" toy factory to take charge of the affairs of the OEM factory, Sun Manzhu still does everything herself most of the time.

Moreover, she has a lot of contact with the old man and the old lady of the An family, as well as the three Ruze brothers. According to Rubin, Sun Manzhu is even very enthusiastic about Ruze's blind dates.

Even during the period of time when they were abroad, Sun Manzhu would occasionally call the old man and the old lady of the An family.

An Rushong was not unaware of these things, and he also understood why Sun Manzhu did this, he just pretended not to know.

After recognizing Luo Shengkui, An Rusong couldn't continue sitting in the car. He stood up, opened the other door, put on a smiling face and got out of the car: "Uncle Shengkui, why are you here too?"

"Hey, Rushong," Luo Shengkui said enthusiastically. He held An Rushong's hand and laughed loudly. "Since it's about your brothers' military service, how can I not come? Our toy factory in Yuantong is about to start operation, how can Ruze and the others leave? So, what I mean is, if possible, let them postpone their military service."

He looked around to make sure no one was around, then lowered his voice and continued, "Uncle Shengkui, you are familiar with the military service procedures. I know how to postpone your military service."

"Uncle Shengkui, I appreciate your kindness," An Rusong calmly pulled his hand out of the other's hand, but still smiled warmly, "But we don't need to worry about Ruze and the others' affairs."

Holding the other person's arm, An Rusong explained: "Ruze and his team were lucky this time. They were spotted by the Americans at the Longshan Base. Those Americans sent a letter to the Military Manpower Department, requesting that they be transferred to the Longshan Base to serve in the military."

"Working for the Americans is much easier than ordinary military service," An Rusong took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and handed one to Luo Shengkui. He further explained, "If you don't have anything to do, you don't even have to come to Seoul. Besides, I'm familiar with the Americans at Yongsan Base and can take care of Ruze and the others. So, don't worry."

An Rushong had no intention of hiding the fact that Ruze and his friends were serving in the military from Luo Shengkui. In fact, it was impossible to hide such a thing. After all, after Ruze and his friends had completed the relevant procedures for joining the army, they would still have to return to Yuantongli. Therefore, An Rushong explained the matter directly in front of Luo Shengkui, which could save possible trouble later.

One thing that must be recognized is that as long as Ruze and his friends return to Wontong-ri from Seoul, their escape from military service will be discovered. Don't think that no one in the village will report or expose them. In fact, the ugliest nature of people is that they can't stand others living better than themselves. At that time, there is no need for anyone to report or expose them. As long as someone holds on to this matter and gossips about it, the fact that Ruze and his friends did not serve in the army will also be spread.

It was precisely because of this that An Rusong was particularly cautious when handling this matter. From Leonard to Jin Zhongtai, from the Yongsan military camp to the Military Manpower Administration, every link must be able to withstand investigation, at least so that those who want to investigate will eventually find the US military stationed in South Korea and Leonard.

As long as the US troops stationed in South Korea are watching behind the scenes, An Rushong doesn't have to worry about anyone causing trouble.

"That's good, that's good," Luo Shengkui nodded repeatedly and said. He was indeed concerned about the military service of An Rusong and his brothers, and he couldn't help but care. After all, the toy factory in Yuantongli was about to start production, and at this critical juncture, it was impossible for all the brothers to serve in the military.

Perhaps in An Rusong's eyes, this toy OEM factory with an investment of only a few billion won is not worth doing, after all, its upper limit is there. But for Luo Shengkui, this is the only factory in Yuantong that can generate income and profit.

Even without considering that he also had some shares in the factory that were eligible for dividends, the fact that the factory could hire hundreds of workers from Yuantong was already worth Luo Shengkui's effort.

"Hey, Uncle Shengkui, where are Ruze and the others?" After a brief conversation with Luo Shengkui, An Rushong asked where his three younger brothers had gone.

"They are staying in the hotel in front," Luo Shengkui said, raising his hand and pointing to the front right.

Following the direction of his finger, An Rushong saw a hotel called "Anquide" not far away. The main building was an 11-story building, and the conditions should be pretty good.

"We arrived last night," Luo Shengkui continued, "Jae-hoon drove us to Seoul at 10 o'clock at night. It was so late, and Jae-hoon said not to disturb your rest, so he didn't call you."

Zaixun should be Luo Zaixun, Luo Jinggeng's not very smart son. An Rusong still has an impression of the father and son. They did not get along very well with each other at the beginning. However, An Rusong would not bear a grudge or even take revenge on the other party. After all, it was meaningless.

This time, the three Ru Ze brothers came to Seoul. From what Luo Shengkui said, it was Zaixun who drove them here. If nothing unexpected happened, the money for last night's hotel stay should have been paid by Luo Zaixun. They came here with the purpose of repairing their relationship.

"You should have called me so that I could play the role of a good host," An Rushong pretended to complain, then motioned for Luo Minzhi to get in the car, while he and Luo Shengkui walked side by side towards the hotel.

The two walked along the way, and Luo Shengkui mentioned along the way that he had been to Seoul 20 years ago, but the Seoul at that time was nothing like the Seoul today, so that when he came this time, he felt like a country bumpkin entering the city, and everything seemed unfamiliar to him.

An Rushong told him to go out more often in the future, and travel whenever he has free time. After middle age, people should enjoy life more.

Just as the two were about to reach the front of the hotel building, an off-road vehicle with a white military license plate with black letters drove past them from behind and stopped seven or eight meters in front of them. The door opened, and Lieutenant Lin Yaen jumped out with a bright smile on his face and walked towards An Rusong and the others.

Just like the last time we met, Lin Yaen was still wearing a black casual dress and a cap with a roll-brimmed hat on her head. The difference was that this time she was wearing flesh-colored stockings, so the two calves exposed under her skirt looked very smooth and eye-catching. At the same time, she also changed her shoes to high heels, which made her calves look even straighter and taller.

"Brother Rushong," Lin Yaen walked closer, stretched out her hand to An Rushong, and said with a sweet smile, "It seems that I arrived in time."

An Rusong shook her hand and introduced her, "This is Uncle Shengkui from my hometown, Luo Shengkui. Uncle Shengkui, this is Lieutenant Lin Yaen, she helped me a lot with military service."

"Ah, hello, Lieutenant," Luo Shengkui extended his hand and greeted.

"Hello, Uncle Shengkui," Lin Yaen still had a sweet smile on her face. She seemed not to see the other party's outstretched hand. She just bowed to the other party and greeted him.

"Hey" Luo Shengkui was obviously not good at dealing with such a young and beautiful woman. The other party called him Uncle Shengkui, which made him blush.

"Brother Rusong, where are the three brothers?" Although Lin Yaen was very polite and courteous when facing Luo Shengkui, it can be seen that her attention was not on him at all. After just two simple polite words, she looked at An Rusong again and asked.

An Rushong did not answer her, but just smiled and nodded his chin forward. Just outside the hotel door not far ahead, four young men were walking towards them quickly.
