Chapter 831: Looking for He Zuming to Name the New Company

~8 min read 1,451 words

Secretary Qin arrived quickly, saw the drunk Tian Shi, and immediately called a waiter. They together carried Tian Shi back to the upstairs room.

I was also helped by someone back to the room.

I only felt the world spinning, dizzy to the point I couldn't open my eyes.

At this point, Secretary Qin had already arranged for a health doctor to come.

First, they attached an IV drip to Tian Shi to ensure his body wouldn't have problems.

As for me, after the doctor examined me, he didn't put an IV on me, only gave me a dose of glucose oral solution.

The night passed away while I was drunk.

The next morning, I didn't wake until nine o'clock.

My head was a little sore.

Alcohol is still good. If the drink is bad, the next day's head would hurt a lot.

At that moment, someone knocked on the door.

I quickly put on my clothes,

opened the room door, and saw Li Jia.

"Li Jia, why are you here?"

"How could I not come? You, how much did you drink? Tian Shi asked me to come check on you," Li Jia said with a smile.

"What about Tian Shi, how is he?"

"He's fine, he held a meeting all morning. Looks like your health isn't as good as Tian Shi's."

"Hehe, Tian Shi's health is impressive. I'm really not as good as him.

Wait for me a moment, I'll go freshen up," I told Li Jia.

Li Jia nodded.

After I finished washing up, I came out of the bathroom.

First, I looked for a cigarette.

Li Jia glanced,

sighed, "Mr. Zhao, could you smoke a bit less?"

I smiled,

"I've gotten used to it; I don't drink alcohol, but I can never quit smoking.

People living in this world must have a hobby, just like you women,

some love makeup, some love shopping. My hobby is smoking."

"You always make excuses; I just can't argue with you.

By the way, didn't you say you wanted me to prepare for going to Huaihai to meet Zhuang Shi to sign a contract? When should I go?" Li Jia asked.

"That? Wait for notification from Zhuang Shi's side. Also, you must have all the documents ready; Zhuang Shi's side will handle the process smoothly.

Then, wait for my arrangements and notice."

Li Jia nodded.

"By the way, Li Jia, do you have anything to do today?"

"I have nothing. Because of an important meeting, my rank isn't high enough, so I can only wait for the meeting to end," Li Jia said.

"Alright, then don't wait for the meeting to end; it's fine if you're missing, let's handle some proper business together," I said.

"What proper business?" Li Jia asked.

"Did Tian Shi tell you? We're preparing to set up a new company, which will facilitate the tourism project development in Xue County."

"He did. Let me assist you," Li Jia said.

"Sure, let's first give the company a name," I said.

"Naming it, should we ask a gentleman? That's what's popular now," Li Jia said with a smile.

Li Jia's smile is truly beautiful,

women are lovely, truly never get boring to look at.

Why do we all like beautiful women? They're really easy on the eyes.

I quickly withdrew my gaze from Li Jia's face,

"Yes, let's find a very famous gentleman to help us name it."

"Okay, by the way, Tian Shi said the legal representative of this company should be you," Li Jia said.

"That? I'm not considering it for now, because I'm past that age. Let me think if there's someone more suitable," I said with a smile.

"You're only in your early forties, not old at all, it's the prime of a man. A forty-year-old man is a flower.

At this age, a man already has his own worldview and aesthetic sense,

he is no longer the impulsiveness of youth,

nor the laxity of old age.

It's precisely the age to get things done and achieve great deeds; I think you're suitable," Li Jia said, looking at me.

I shook my head,

"Li Jia, I'm more suited to work behind the scenes.

Alright, there are some things I can only say up to this point; let's go, lest we end up late. He Zuming is not in the village."

"You're looking for Mr. He; he looks like a master at first glance. I've met him twice," Li Jia said.

Li Jia said.

"Alright, let's go," I said, then took a piece of bread from the room and began gnawing it.

Since I drank a lot last night, I didn't drive; I let Li Jia drive to He Zuming's old home, He Family Village.

This village is very close to Lanling County. Back then, it was He Ping who came to find me, asking him to help me do Feng Shui.

I never imagined that He Ping has been dead for many years.

Sigh, what can one say?

The car, guided by the navigation, quickly drove to He Family Village.

I didn't call He Zuming in advance.

Arriving at He Family Village, I asked the villagers,

The villagers quickly pointed out He Zuming's residence.

Three tile-roofed houses, a small courtyard, with several apple trees in front of the gate.

The courtyard gate was not locked,

No need to ask if He Zuming is home.

On the way back to Zaocheng, He Zuming told me that he wanted to take Xiao Yan back to the countryside to live, to let Xiao Yan properly study Feng Shui knowledge.

If there's anything, you can come to He Family Village to find him.

I entered the courtyard.

The courtyard was very clean.

I called out softly, 'Is Mr. He in? Is Mr. He in?'

At that moment, a person walked out of the house—it was Xiao Yan,

'Zhao Ge, you're here, Mr. He is in, he told me that today there will be distinguished guests visiting.'

'He's been waiting especially for you at home.' Xiao Yan said with a smile.

'Mr. He is truly divine, knowing I would come.' I laughed, bringing Li Jia into the house.

The house wasn't decorated much; it's all old facilities.

At that moment, He Zuming was in the house holding a book and reading.

After seeing me come in,

'Jianqiang, you've come—is this lady Li Jia?'

'Yes, Mr. He, I didn't expect you still remember me.' Li Jia said with a smile.

'Of course I remember—such a beautiful lady, how could this old man forget? Please sit, this place is a bit simple; don't mind it, Xiao Yan, pour some water.'

'Okay, Master.' Xiao Yan went to pour water.

Li Jia and I sat down at a square table.

He Zuming looked at us and said, 'Jianqiang, one doesn't go to the Treasure Hall without a reason.'

'Mr. He, you could guess we came today; can you guess what we have come for today?' I asked with a smile.

'Jianqiang, this? I really figured it out.' He Zuming said with a smile.

'How about this, Mr. He: we make a bet—if you guess correctly, I'll lose you a box of cigarettes.' I said.

'Good, Jianqiang, your cigarettes are definitely lost.' He Zuming said, then stood up,

took a red paper from another table,

walked over to where Li Jia and I were,

'You came for the name of the new company, right?'

'Mr. He, how do you know? It seems nothing can be hidden from you.' I said, looking at Li Jia.

Li Jia then gave a thumbs-up,

'Mr. He is truly an immortal.'

'Li Jia, bring that box of cigarettes from the car over and hand it to Xiao Yan.' I told Li Jia.

Li Jia nodded in understanding,

took the car keys and went out.

Only He Zuming and I remained in the house,

'Mr. He, you think we went ahead?'

'How did you guess it?' I asked.

'Jianqiang, this isn't guessing, it's calculating.'

'Anything, if you put your heart into it, can be figured out.'

'This morning, two magpies kept calling on the trees at our home, so I knew someone would come to visit.'

'As for what you came to do, I had already thought about it.'

'You want to develop the tourism project in Xue County, but you haven't set up a company yet.'

'So, as long as you came, it's for the company name.'

'If the name is not proper, words will not go smoothly.'

'A company's name is very important.' He Zuming said.

'Then, Mr. He, what name do you plan to give the tourism company?' I took out a cigarette and tossed it to He Zuming.
