Xia Ruofei smiled and nodded. He didn't feel very restrained in Master Song's place, and his mood was very relaxed. Although it couldn't be said that it was completely like his own home, it wasn't as restrained as when he was in the chief's home.
At this time, there was a light knock on the study door. Director Lu pushed the door open and walked in. He said, "Chief, you were looking for me?"
Master Song nodded slightly and said lightly, "Xiao Lu, immediately contact Family Liu's people. Ruofei wants to meet Family Liu's old man alone. Have them arrange it as soon as possible!"
This matter concerned the life and death of the family's pillar. Family Liu's people would definitely arrange a meeting as soon as possible. Master Song didn't need to say anything else.
Director Lu felt a little surprised. He glanced at Xia Ruofei. However, after many years of working by the chief's side, he had already developed the habit of not talking too much. Therefore, even if he had doubts in his heart, he didn't say anything. He just nodded and replied straightforwardly, "Okay, I'll contact them right away!"
Master Song said again, "Tell the kitchen to make a few more dishes at noon. I want to entertain Ruofei at home."
"Okay!" Director Lu replied. "Chief, then you and Ruofei chat first. I'll go down first!"
"Okay!" Master Song nodded.
After Director Lu left, although Master Song was a little curious, he didn't mention Family Liu's matter again. Instead, he chatted with Xia Ruofei.
He was very concerned and asked about Xia Ruofei's company's business situation.
Xia Ruofei was not a competent chairman. His understanding of the company was definitely not as good as Feng Jing, the president. However, Master Song did not care about such detailed business data. Xia Ruofei still had a relatively accurate grasp of the general direction. After all, even if he was not in the company, Feng Jing would report to him through phone and email.
Therefore, Xia Ruofei also gave a brief introduction of the company's development. He emphasized that the company was building a pharmaceutical factory in Changping County and was preparing to expand the production of Yuji Ointment and Yangxin Decoction.
Master Song had always praised Xia Ruofei for developing the Heart Nourishing Soup. This time, when he heard that Xia Ruofei had always insisted on the low-price strategy, and most of the production was tilted towards the patients in the country. He even cooperated with the hospital to severely crack down on scalpers, Master Song was very happy and said a few words of praise.
Master Song said earnestly, "Ruofei, as an entrepreneur, you must have a strong sense of social responsibility! You did very well on this! You are a good child. I did not misjudge you! Remember, you must persevere! The significance of the Heart Nourishing Soup is not only a ray of hope for autistic children in the dark night, it is also a ray of light for the humanity of the Taoyuan Company. As long as you do this project well and the company's business is upright, others will definitely not dare to have any bad ideas about your company! "
Xia Ruofei nodded in agreement. Master Song's meaning was very clear. The Heart Nourishing Soup project could be said to be the Taoyuan Company's protective talisman. The greater the influence of this project, the more positive the Taoyuan Company's image would be. Some people who wanted to covet the Taoyuan Company would have to think twice.
Moreover, Family Song had already made it clear that he supported the Taoyuan Company. So, as long as they were not muddle-headed people who did not understand the situation, under normal circumstances, no one would dare to be jealous of the Taoyuan Company's prospects and have any bad ideas.
Of course, families like the Gao family and Family Liu, who were on par with Family Song, might have some misgivings about Family Song. However, the extent of their restraint would depend on how much Family Song protected the Taoyuan Company.
Master Song then asked about the Taoyuan Club.
Song Rui had a stake in the Taoyuan Club's business, and he was one of the main founders. Master Song was naturally very concerned about his grandson's rare business.
Xia Ruofei said with a hint of shame, "Grandpa Song, you know that I've been busy in Sanshan, so I don't care much about the Taoyuan Club. Brother Yongjun and Xiao Rui are mainly taking care of things in Beijing. I don't know the details. However, as far as I know, the preparations for the Taoyuan Club are going quite smoothly. Xiao Rui also played a big part in it! "
Master Song waved his hand and said, "Xiao Rui is my grandson. How can I not know him? This kid does things on a whim, and he's always careless. He's not meticulous enough! Ruofei! This Taoyuan Club involves the children of several families. There are so many people involved, including Xiao Rui. You can't just leave everything to others! You have to keep an eye on them, lest this group of kids ruin things! "
Xia Ruofei didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he didn't dare to talk back to Master Song. He could only nod and say, "I know, Grandpa Song! You don't have to worry too much. Brother Zhao Yongjun is mature and steady, and he's familiar with all aspects of Beijing. With him at the helm, Xiao Rui and the others won't make any mistakes! Don't worry! "
"That kid from Zhao Cheng's family?" Master Song nodded and said, "Yongjun has the style of a general. He's more or less reliable! But Ruofei, you can't be lazy. You have to always care about Xiao Rui and the others! Especially after the club opens, you have to remind Xiao Rui at all times! "
"Okay, Grandpa Song!" Xia Ruofei nodded and replied.
After the two chatted for a while, Director Lu knocked on the door and came in.
He bowed slightly to Master Song, then reported, "Chief, Family Liu has replied. The meeting time is set at 2: 30 this afternoon. Is that okay?"
Master Song looked at Xia Ruofei. He saw Xia Ruofei nod slightly, so he said, "Let's meet at this time! Old Liu lives in 301, right? There's no need for Family Liu to pick him up. You can arrange a car … Forget it, I'll use my Hongqi! In addition, let Xiao Fang accompany Ruofei on this trip! "
Director Lu's eyes showed a trace of surprise.
The "Xiao Fang" that Master Song mentioned was Colonel Fang Zhongming, who was in charge of security at Family Song's old house. He was also an elite trained by the central security forces, so there was no need to talk about his skills.
Master Song used his own car to send Xia Ruofei, and also sent his "head of security" to accompany Xia Ruofei. Naturally, it was to protect Xia Ruofei's safety. After all, his car was a bulletproof car used by central leaders. It could even withstand a small bomb attack. But this was only one aspect. More importantly, it was to express to Family Liu the attitude of Family Song, especially Master Song himself.
"Understood! I'll arrange it right away! "Director Lu replied.
Xia Ruofei chatted with Master Song for a while, then they went to the dining room for lunch.
Most of Master Song's children worked in other places. Even if they worked in Beijing, they didn't live in the old house. As for the grandchildren, they were all in awe of their grandfather, who had a military background, and wouldn't appear in the old house for no reason. Even Song Rui, who had come with Xia Ruofei, was now hiding somewhere.
Therefore, at lunch, Master Song was alone. Xia Ruofei and Director Lu accompanied him.
Master Song's body was getting stronger by the day, so his doctor had the most free time. Basically, he didn't need to take care of him like the other senior leaders, who needed to supervise his taking of medicine every day and remind him of things to avoid from time to time. Master Song's doctor even allowed him to drink a small glass of wine every day. This was a scientific conclusion made after assessing the old man's physical condition.
Today, Master Song had changed the "quota" of a glass of wine that was originally arranged for the evening to noon. Then, he had Xia Ruofei and Director Lu pour wine for him to drink with him.
In fact, even if Master Song drank a few more glasses, it wouldn't affect his body. However, he would usually follow the doctor's advice. In his words, the children were doing it for work, and he shouldn't bring extra trouble to them.
Lunch wasn't sumptuous, but the combination of nutrition was still very good. The taste was mainly light, and this was also for the sake of the old man's health. However, after Director Lu knew that Xia Ruofei would stay for lunch, he specially instructed the cook to add one or two salty and spicy dishes, taking care of Xia Ruofei's taste.
Today, it was rare for someone to eat with him, and it was the young man he admired the most, Xia Ruofei, so Master Song was very happy.
Everyone chatted as they ate. Master Song only took a small sip of wine every time. Basically, he would gently sip and put down the glass as if he couldn't bear to drink it all at once.
The old man's somewhat childish behavior made Xia Ruofei and Director Lu smile.
Master Song appeared to be very talkative. This meal took more than an hour, and the small glass of wine in front of him also took more than an hour to drink. In the end, when he saw that it was almost time for Xia Ruofei to leave, Master Song drank the last mouthful of wine.
"Ruofei, when you go see Old Liu, don't think too much," Master Song instructed meaningfully. "Just follow your heart! I still say the same thing. No one can force you to do anything, not even Family Liu or the Gao Family! "
Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "I understand, Grandpa Song!"
Master Song smiled and said, "Go! I should also go to sleep for a while … "
After that, Master Song walked alone in the direction of the study. Not only was there a large collection of books in his study, but there was also a bed in a compartment. Sometimes, when he read documents too late, he would directly sleep in the study.
Director Lu personally accompanied Xia Ruofei to the front yard to get into the car.
The Hongqi car that had picked up Xia Ruofei in the morning was already ready to leave. The car had just been washed, and the body of the car was black and shiny under the sun, without a trace of stain.
A man in his mid-thirties, wearing a leather jacket, stood beside the car. His eyes were sharp, and his back was straight. At first glance, one could tell that he was a professional soldier.
Director Lu smiled and said, "Ruofei, let me introduce you. This is Colonel Fang Zhongming. He is responsible for coordinating the security work by the chief's side. This time, the chief specially appointed Colonel Fang to accompany you."
Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "Colonel Fang, sorry to trouble you!"
Fang Zhongming said neither humbly nor overbearingly, "You're too serious. This is my duty! Please get in the car! "
Xia Ruofei nodded slightly, turned around and said to Director Lu, "Director Lu, then I'll leave now!"
Director Lu smiled and nodded. He patted Xia Ruofei on the shoulder and said, "Ruofei, remember the chief's words. Family Song will always be your strong backing!"
Xia Ruofei's heart warmed slightly, but he didn't say anything. He nodded and directly got into the car.
Fang Zhongming immediately sat in the front passenger seat, and then said to the driver lightly, "Go to 301!"
"Understood!" The driver responded, turned the steering wheel, and drove the heavy Hongqi car away from the Fang family's old house, heading in the direction of Lhasa.
The car arrived at Lhasa at 2: 25 p.m. Along the way, Fang Zhongming didn't say a word. He just looked ahead with bright eyes, and from time to time, he glanced left and right. His hawk-like eyes showed that he always maintained a high level of vigilance.
In fact, this trip wasn't dangerous, but Fang Zhongming had already formed a professional habit.
Master Song's car had a special license plate, so it was directly let in at the gate.
The driver didn't ask any more questions. He drove the Hongqi car through the compound with ease, and came to another compound that was obviously much quieter and more heavily guarded.
At the gate of the compound, the car stopped for a check. Fang Zhongming got out of the car and showed his ID. After registering at the guard post, the car was quickly allowed to enter.
The Hongqi car arrived.
The Hongqi car that picked up Xia Ruofei in the morning was ready to leave. The car had just been washed, and the body of the car was black and shiny under the sun, without a trace of stain.
A man in a leather jacket, about 34 or 35 years old, stood beside the car. His eyes were sharp, and his back was straight. At first glance, one could tell that he was a professional soldier.
Director Lu smiled and said, "Ruofei, let me introduce you. This is Colonel Fang Zhongming. He is responsible for coordinating the security work by the chief's side. This time, the chief specially appointed Colonel Fang to accompany you."
Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "Colonel Fang, sorry to trouble you!"
Fang Zhongming said neither humbly nor overbearingly, "You're too serious. This is my duty! Please get in the car! "
Xia Ruofei nodded slightly, turned around and said to Director Lu, "Director Lu, I'll leave now!"
Director Lu smiled and nodded. He patted Xia Ruofei on the shoulder and said, "Ruofei, remember the chief's words. Family Song will always be your strong backing!"
Xia Ruofei's heart warmed slightly. He didn't say anything, nodded, and directly got into the car.
Fang Zhongming immediately sat in the front passenger seat, and then said to the driver lightly, "Go to 301!"
"Understood!" The driver responded, turned the steering wheel, and drove the heavy Hongqi car away from the Fang family's old house, heading in the direction of Lhasa.
At 2: 25, the car arrived at Lhasa. Fang Zhongming didn't say a word along the way. He just looked ahead with bright eyes, and from time to time, he glanced left and right. His hawk-like eyes showed that he was always in a state of high alert.
