Chapter 56 Zhendong, a good idea
Seeing that Father Lou didn't beat around the bush, Gao Zhendong didn't say much and said, "Uncle, first of all, I really want to continue with Xiao'e, you can rest assured. I don't care much about your family background, and my situation can also withstand some storms."
People at this time did not know about the changes that would happen a few years later. For people like Lou's father, although the honeymoon period of public-private partnership had passed, up to this point, there were actually not many storms, otherwise they would not have been able to stay until the start of the TV series.
Since the storm is not serious now, the problem brought about by the class background is not so troublesome in Lou's father's view. Naturally, he has a relatively higher degree of approval for Gao Zhendong's statement. In Lou's father's view, young people are willing to give up some things for love, that's what they are.
In his opinion, with Gao Zhendong's conditions, he could indeed withstand some storms at this time, so that the Lou family's background issue would not be a big concern for him.
It’s not that Mr. Lou is naive, he is not a prophet and can only judge the development of things based on known conditions.
In fact, the biggest reason why Gao Zhendong didn't care about the Lou family's background was that it had nothing to do with what Lou's father thought, nor had anything to do with the Lou family's money. However, Gao Zhendong could not say this reason out loud, so he could only follow Lou's father's guess.
Father Lou spoke slowly: "You are willing to do so."
Gao Zhendong smiled: "If you are willing to give up, you will gain something. I understand this principle. Besides, I also have some ideas to see if I can improve your family's situation as much as possible."
Improvement? Father Lou couldn't help but shake his head. It would be great if it were that simple.
Seeing Father Lou's expression, Gao Zhendong said something that surprised Father Lou: "Uncle, I heard that you also secretly donated money to support the 18th Group Army back then."
This matter was confirmed in the TV series. In the seventh episode, the deaf old lady told Lou Xiao'e in person.
This is also one of the reasons why Gao Zhendong did not doubt the situation of the deaf old lady described by Sha Zhu in the first few episodes of the TV series. The deaf old lady who knew about this matter must have done something in the past, and she was not just an ordinary widowed old lady.
Father Lou was a little surprised. Not many people knew about this matter, even Lou Xiao'e was not aware of it. He did not delve into the source of Gao Zhendong's information. Gao Zhendong was such an outstanding person, he must have some information channels of his own.
He nodded: "Yes, it's a pity that it's not so easy to get money to support construction now." He wanted to continue doing this to make himself more secure, but it was very difficult.
Gao Zhendong smiled: "The conditions were tough back then, and we lacked everything. Things have changed now, and your situation is indeed not very convenient."
Father Lou thought about this carefully. What is lacking now? Money is still lacking. Where is there no lack of money? Didn't Citibank sell government bonds every day in the future? But this kind of lack is different from that of the past. This is why it is impossible for him to imitate the actions of the past.
You know, there are a large group of people with similar identities as him, and he is the most conspicuous one among them. Someone in this group is always keeping a close eye on his situation.
He sincerely wanted to support the construction in the same way as he did back then, but in the eyes of this group of people, he had no choice. As for what he thought, no one cared, and some people even deliberately made a fuss about it.
In order to avoid suspicion and to unite everyone, the higher-ups actually don't want him to do this, and this is the biggest reason why he can't follow suit.
So what is most lacking now?
Father Lou thought for a long time, and when he saw the young man in front of him, a flash of lightning suddenly flashed through his mind.
"technology!!"
Father Lou blurted out, and then looked at the very young engineer in front of him, with a lot of thoughts running through his head.
Gao Zhendong smiled, worthy of being a man who had experienced many ups and downs.
Gao Zhendong smiled and said to Father Lou: "Uncle, I heard that when you are doing things, if things are difficult to handle, you often look for middlemen."
Technology, middleman, and the young man in front of him, Father Lou suddenly realized.
He suddenly became interested and looked at Gao Zhendong: "Zhendong, tell me in detail." As Gao Zhendong spoke, the expression on Lou's father's face became more relaxed.
After Gao Zhendong finished speaking, Father Lou thought for a long time, nodded and laughed: "This is indeed a good idea. It kills two birds with one stone. It is subtle and leaves no trace. It is not deliberate and natural. It really does a good thing and neither party can refuse it. It will easily be spread as a good story among the people in the market. But I, an old man, will become a laughing stock, hahahaha."
Gao Zhendong smiled and said to Lou's father: "Uncle, becoming a laughing stock is what you wanted in the first place."
Father Lou smiled. He was very satisfied with his daughter's vision. This young man had positive ideas, but was not pedantic. He took care of his own people and had ways to do things. He tried to follow the upright and steady ways. The key was that his perspective on things was very tricky, but accurate.
Thinking of this, he said to Gao Zhendong: "Zhendong, I will start working on the matter you just mentioned right away, and I will definitely not delay your arrangements."
Gao Zhendong smiled and thanked him: "Thank you, uncle."
Father Lou knew everything he wanted to know, and even got a bigger surprise, so he felt relieved. He stood up and said to Gao Zhendong, "You sit here for a while and read if you want. I'll ask someone to bring some snacks."
Gao Zhendong knew that he was going to discuss it with Lou's mother, so he agreed with a smile.
Father Lou walked out of the study and into the living room. Lou Xiao'e was not there. She must have gone back to her room.
Lou's mother stood up to greet him: "How is it?"
Father Lou explained some of the situations that could be discussed, and then said with a smile, "Good! This young man is very good, and he is not simple. Xiao'e, this silly girl, is really lucky."
Lou's mother said, "Then come in with me and ask him what his next plan is?"
Next step? Father Lou was a little confused: "Aren't you too impatient? How can you be so eager?"
Lou's mother glanced at him and said, "It's good to get a taste of what's going on first. Once you see what's going on, hurry up. It's not easy these days."
Father Lou had no choice but to follow Mother Lou into the study again.
Seeing the two people come in together, Gao Zhendong stood up and greeted them.
Looking at Gao Zhendong with satisfaction, Lou's mother smiled and said, "Zhendong, what are your plans for the next step?"
What's the next step? Gao Zhendong was also confused. Even if the mother-in-law is more and more satisfied with her son-in-law, you are a little too impatient.
But since Lou's mother had said this, he couldn't spoil the fun, so he spread out one finger and said, "Uncle, aunt, this is what I'm thinking. I just arrived at the factory, and I need to stabilize myself for a while. I have a lot of things to do right now, and this is one of them."
Then he opened his second finger and said, "Secondly, Xiao'e and I have only known each other for less than a month. My idea is to let her enjoy the process of our relationship. The feeling before and after marriage must be different. I don't want her to have any regrets."
"So my initial consideration is to give her some time, about half a year to a year. Do you think it's appropriate?"
These words moved both Mr. and Mrs. Lou.
A lot of things in this chapter are a bit vague. In fact, I spent a long time revising it. The reason was, I was afraid. I think everyone understands, but there are a lot of things to explain, which is quite troublesome.
Please also be careful when commenting.
