Chapter 196 Old Gong, can you lend me your wife? [4000]

It was only afterwards that Lu Yang found out that he had stolen the Canton Fair invitation letter that originally belonged to Mr. Yuan.

No wonder people always argue with me as soon as they meet me.

But this can’t be blamed on Lu Yang.

In the words of Vice Mayor Xu:

Some manufacturers who do not meet the conditions for participating in the Canton Fair at all, under the name of the leader of the trade delegation of Mr. Xu, blatantly asked some cadres in the trade delegation for invitation letters, and some cadres did nothing. They gave invitation letters just because he asked. This is to put Mr. Xu in an unjust position. They do not take the rules seriously at all. This behavior must be stopped and strongly condemned. It is not enough to just withdraw the invitation letters. In the future, such manufacturers must be prevented from participating in trade delegations.

He almost knocked his nephew down with one blow.

But there is no other choice.

Who asked this nephew to be so troublesome?

In the past, he used his title as the nephew of Deputy Mayor Xu and his identity as a returnee who had studied abroad to cheat people everywhere in the city. Later, he and several young people from the compound set up the current labor protection shoe factory and expanded his business to major units and government agencies in the city.

For the sake of his elder sister, he turned a blind eye.

At least until now, all the other party's actions are still within the framework. They neither violate the law nor affect his personal career.

For example, the fact that he has expanded his business to all major units and government agencies in the city is probably because he is just borrowing the reputation of being the nephew of Deputy Mayor Xu. But no matter whether it is today, yesterday, or in the past, who could expand his business to these places does not have some connections?
As long as it doesn't involve coercion, inducement, or forced buying or selling, he can turn a blind eye.

But now, this nephew has become a little unscrupulous.

I was elected as the leader of the Canton Fair trade delegation.

We had just established the rules for selecting representatives of local businesses, and the other party dared to wantonly sabotage them. They didn't even say hello to us, but took away an invitation letter that was already insufficient. What did they want to do?
Do you want to harm me, Xu?
Don’t you know how much importance the city attaches to the trade delegation this time?
Earning foreign exchange is very important in this era, so important that it is even linked to political performance.

Deputy Mayor Xu could imagine that there must have been many eyes secretly watching him at that time, even waiting for him to make a mistake. If he had not reacted quickly and made a decisive decision, the consequences would have been unpredictable.

Looking at the whole thing.

If he had not seen from the nephew's clear and foolish eyes that the other party really just wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune and had no intention of harming his uncle, he would have almost suspected that this nephew was bribed by certain people and was deliberately framing him?
In his opinion, only revoking the invitation, criticizing him in public, and prohibiting him from participating in trade delegations in the future were considered light punishments.

We only make labor protection shoes. We have no technology and no core competitiveness. We rely on various government departments and state-owned factories to give us some food. Why do we have to participate in the Canton Fair? Is it useful? Do we want to talk politics with foreigners or talk about nepotism? Earn foreign exchange? Earn nothing.

At least Boss Lu can get a large quantity, free delivery, practicality and cheapness. With these advantages, if he makes good use of them, he might be able to close a few deals.

But from the perspective of the gentle young man with glasses.

My uncle is just being mean to himself. He has connections, but he won't let me go, but lets others go. We are both private factories, I make shoes and he makes clothes. Don't laugh at my second brother, we are all not that good, but you don't give it to me when I come to take it, but you give it to him when he wants it. Isn't this too much?

I'm not convinced.

Just because he was not convinced, he chased after the other party, thinking of giving the other party a warning in front of his uncle so that the other party would give up. By the way, he could establish himself as an elite overseas returnee in front of his uncle and the visiting guests. Maybe he could also get a big order that he had been eyeing for a long time. After all, this is a large factory with tens of thousands of employees.

It kills three birds with one stone.

ending?

He got slapped in the face and was warned not to show up before the closing ceremony of the Canton Fair. This was enough to make him feel aggrieved for two days and two nights.

Lu Yang's misfortune was completely unprovoked.

If he had not accepted the invitation to the Canton Fair, there wouldn't have been so many problems. Of course, even if he knew about it, I'm afraid he would still accept it after weighing the pros and cons.

"We can't give up the opportunity to grow ourselves just because we're afraid of offending certain people."

"Otherwise, there's no need to go anywhere else. I'll just stay in Shanghuai Village for the rest of my life."

After Lu Yang brought Gong Ping'an back to their own private room, he recounted what had just happened and then made a summary.

"My cousin is right. We can't just do nothing because we're afraid of trouble. Think about it, the other party is just the deputy mayor's nephew, not the deputy mayor's biological son. And even if he is the deputy mayor's biological son, so what? There are many people in Baoqing City who are at the same level as the deputy mayor, and there are also people who are older than the deputy mayor. We all have relatives and children. Do we have to give in every time we encounter him?"

"Also, if that's the case, then we don't even need to go to the town, because there are leaders in the town. There are so many town leaders, their children and relatives, aren't they relatives? Don't treat town leaders as cadres, brothers."

Lao Liu is still the same as always. While supporting his cousin Lu Yang, he always hits the nail on the head.

Lu Yang couldn't help but nod secretly.

He thought so too.

If you are really afraid of things and retreat when you encounter any trivial problem, once you lose your spirit, you will not be able to do anything well.

Although the sixth brother didn't have much education, he knows a lot of things. It seems that among these cousins, he was the most promising one before his rebirth and made a fortune. There is a reason for that.

If you train him well, he might become a capable person in the future.

Da Jun agreed completely: "I'm not afraid of a hammer. If he dares to use dirty tricks, I will beat him to death."

Gong Ping'an was still the same, expressionless as always.

No comments.

But in fact, when he was following Lu Yang just now, he was also thinking, if the mayor's nephew was not convinced and came to cause trouble, what should he do?
Finally, I came to the conclusion that what I have to do is to ensure the safety of my funny boss.

As for the rest, they can fight however they want, I have no right to interfere.

Lu Yang smiled and nodded at Da Jun: "You are still so impulsive. You need to control your temper. Do you understand? Don't be so dead or alive all the time. We do business only to make money. If someone really wants to cause trouble for us, then we will fight with them in the business field."

"But what if the other party uses tricks? Don't forget, the other party has an uncle who is the deputy mayor."

The army said anxiously.

Lu Yang shook his head:

"Don't worry. From what I saw with my own eyes, Deputy Mayor Xu, beneath his elegant appearance, should be relatively upright. If he wanted to help his overseas nephew, he should have stepped forward in the private room just now, instead of waiting until afterwards to make amends and resorting to underhanded tactics.

Therefore, our real opponent is only this sea turtle nephew. If he is not convinced, he can try to enter the clothing industry.

It’s just right. After returning from the Canton Fair, I will go to the city to develop my career.”

He looked so confident that the brothers couldn't help but nod their heads secretly. It seemed that the problem was not serious, so they were relieved. "But where is the translator?"

Lao Liu thought of translation at this time.

He actually didn't know before that he had to use an interpreter when dealing with foreigners. He had little knowledge and no idea about this.

It was his cousin who reminded him.

And my cousin also said when he went out to see Deputy Mayor Xu just now that he originally wanted to borrow an interpreter, but now that things have come to this, he naturally cannot borrow an interpreter.

Lu Yang shook his head: "For now, we can only think of another way."

It is not appropriate to ask Vice Mayor Xu for help at this time.

All state-owned factories have their own translators.

I'm the only one who doesn't have it. If I go to ask the other party for help at this time, won't they look down on me?
"Think of a solution. What solution can you think of?"

The army blurted out.

Hearing this, Lu Yang looked at Gong Ping'an. After receiving Lu Yang's hint, Lao Liu also looked at Gong Ping'an. The army suddenly realized:
"Oh, so we are not strangers in Guangzhou. Old Gong, it's up to you. Lend me your wife and ask her to help."

As soon as the words fell, the air was filled with a sense of danger.

Both Lu Yang and Lao Liu immediately climbed onto their beds, covered their heads with the quilt, and pretended to sleep.

"Crackling."

It was the sound of knuckles clacking like frying beans.

Gong Ping'an's cold voice also rang out in the air:
"I've been very rusty lately. Let's get up and spar with each other."

"No, can we have it next time?"

"No, do you want to get up by yourself, or do you want me to help you and hammer you up?"

"Then, can you be gentler?"

If you stand up, you can be a little more proactive and have a chance to resist, but it's different if you lie down and someone comes up and hits you. You will just be beaten without even the chance to resist.

Of course, the end result will not change.

As the train moved forward, amidst the "clang clang" sounds, the cries of "ouch, ouch" from the army comrades could be heard from time to time.

By the time he arrived at Yangcheng Railway Station and got off the train, Da Jun's face had two panda eyes and his arms were covered with bruises and purples. He no longer dared to call out the name "Old Gong". In a short period of time, the scars would heal and the pain would be forgotten after a long time.

The official opening time of the Canton Fair is in two days, so Lu Yang and others, in addition to today's time, have two days to rest, or you can also call it, to set up their own booths.

The place where we stayed was arranged by the organizer, which was around the main venue of the Canton Fair.

Lu Yang didn't bring much this time.

A package contains about a hundred sets of clothes, including men's and women's clothes, in several styles and colors, displayed as samples.

So it is simple to set up the booth.

After a few people discussed it, they decided to take this opportunity to take a day off and go out for a walk, to see the world of Guangzhou and to find out how this coastal city facing the whole world differed from the inland cities.

Lu Yang was not curious, because 30 years before his rebirth, it was also in this era. At that time, his first stop after leaving his hometown and heading south was Yangcheng. He stayed in this city for several years and made a lot of contributions to the reform and opening up and the four modernizations here.

So strictly speaking, he is actually very familiar with this place.

But I'm not familiar with Da Jun, Lao Liu, and Gong Pingan, especially the Pingan brother. Although his face is still tense at the moment, maybe he is already as anxious as a cat in his heart, wanting to meet his future wife who is in college as soon as possible.

Lu Yang reluctantly agreed to his brothers' request.

Yangcheng University has a long history, and its history of running schools can be traced back to 1927. It is located in Huangpu District of Yangcheng City, not far from the venue of the Canton Fair. If it were in later times, with convenient transportation, it would only take about half an hour to get there. But this is not later times after all. Even if Lu Yang and his four companions finally got a taxi, it still took almost an hour.

The result was a wasted trip and no one was found.

It's not that Sister Wei Shu didn't go to school here, but Qiao'er's mother opened the door for Qiao'er. Qiao'er arrived home. In order to prepare for the grand opening of the Canton Fair, many universities around Yangcheng have selected junior and senior students who meet the height and physical requirements to serve as volunteers for the Canton Fair. Coincidentally, Sister Wei Shu is one of them. She is a junior this year.

It can't be said that they made a wasted trip, but actually that's not the case, because at least they know where Sister Wei Shu is now, and she just happens to be near the hotel they are staying. Maybe they just need to walk around the Canton Fair venue in the next two days and run into her.

"Then go back."

With a look of disappointment but also some anticipation of meeting each other on Gong Ping'an's face, the three of them took a taxi together and got off near the venue of the Canton Fair again.

"Don't rush to find someone. Wait a minute, let's go back and get the cards before coming back."

At this time, Lu Yang stopped Gong Gongping who was walking towards the convention and exhibition center.

The so-called badge, or pass, is the only credential issued by the organizer to major manufacturers invited to participate in the exhibition. Only with this badge can they freely enter and exit the exhibition area and set up their booths.

Lu Yang had already received this thing when the staff arranged for him to check in to the hotel, but he just didn't bring it with him when he went out just now.

"Then go back first and take the badges. Everyone will hang them around their necks. We may have to go into the exhibition area to look for people later. It will be difficult to find them outside the exhibition hall. If volunteers like them need to arrange tasks in advance and organize pre-exhibition training, I guess they must be in the exhibition area. As long as we can get in, we will definitely be able to find them."

Lao Liu also said at this time.

Seeing that both of them said so, Gong Ping'an agreed, and the four of them walked towards the hotel where they were staying.

"suspect?"

Lu Yang suddenly stopped when passing by the hotel lobby.

"Let's go over there and take a look."

Just now, when a person walked past him, the name on the badge on his chest sounded very familiar to him.

And when Lu Yang learned this name, he had a hunch that it was very important to him.
