Chapter 810: Changing the Plot

Secretary Liu smiled: "This time it's different. Their internal separatist forces are very powerful, and it will take a perfect military operation to resolve the conflict. The Black Sea Fleet and the Northern Fleet have already dispatched warships to the Mediterranean... By the way, Babylon's anti-aircraft capabilities have suddenly become stronger—you had a hand in this, didn't you?"

He Yuzhu nodded: "I dismantled the missile launchers from an F16 and installed them onto a truck."

Secretary Liu looked at He Yuzhu for a long time and said: "That's a brilliant idea! Did you manage to shoot down any planes?"

He Yuzhu smiled: "This thing is much better than the Anti-aircraft Gun I modified during the Korean War. I shot down 16 planes all by myself."

Secretary Liu smiled and said: "Shouldn't Babylon be paying you for that?"

"They did give me a little something," He Yuzhu said with a smile.

"You really are a money-making machine. I heard that ninety tons of gold from Meishan Country were all taken by Sashi. Did you get a share?"

"I did manage to get some. When the country has a need, I am duty-bound. However, I also spent quite a lot of money on this trip."

Secretary Liu smiled: "We could talk about that apartment project of yours."

He Yuzhu understood immediately; Secretary Liu wanted to trade land for his gold again.

"This time I want to choose Shen City, is that alright? I can take land in Pudong, Lujiazui, and the Waigaoqiao area."

Secretary Liu smiled: "That's easy to arrange! Forty tons of gold. We won't let you suffer a loss; we'll calculate it for you at a low price. Besides, you developing an apartment project is good for this city."

He Yuzhu gritted his teeth and said: "Deal!"

After finishing the transaction, He Yuzhu asked: "Could you analyze the international situation for me? I want to know what I should do next."

Secretary Liu said indifferently: "The current state is the best one. The M Military has been severely crippled; they want to fight, but they can't win completely. The Soviet Union, however, sees hope and is entering the game forcefully. Now, the chessboard in the Middle East is completely chaotic. This is a good thing for us. But the best state is to let M Country keep fighting with Babylon, letting them exhaust each other. Then we can usher in a long period of peaceful development, especially in military terms."

"I understand," He Yuzhu said, "I'll go over there again and try to bring back an M Country Warship."

Secretary Liu nodded: "Before you bring it back, you must coordinate with me."

After finishing his business, He Yuzhu returned to the Siheyuan and happened to run into Yan Bugui at the gate.

He Yuzhu said: "Third Master, why are your clothes getting more and more tattered?"

Yan Bugui glared at He Yuzhu and cursed: "You're doing well, but you never thought about giving me some money."

He Yuzhu took out a hundred yuan and said: "Take it and go buy some new clothes."

Yan Bugui took the money, curled his lip, and said: "You're a big Boss now, are you really okay with just tossing me a hundred yuan to send me away?"

"I'm a retired Factory Director now, making only 300 yuan a month. Third Master, giving you 100 yuan is enough to save your face; how much more do you want me to give you?"

Yan Bugui leaned in close to He Yuzhu, the smell on his clothes nearly choking He Yuzhu: "Your son is doing business worth hundreds of millions. And you're sending me away with just 100 yuan?"

He Yuzhu sneered: "You've heard about it, haven't you? My son had the rug pulled out from under him. He has to pay several hundred million to the Russians."

Yan Bugui chuckled: "I did hear about that. But doesn't he still have you to back him up?"

"How can I back him up? I don't have money either. You know my retirement salary is three hundred a month. Do you want this 100 yuan or not? Give it back to me right now."

Yan Bugui took the money and trotted away into the distance, not forgetting to wave at him.

He Yuzhu thought that Yan Bugui might have really started picking up scraps. That should be the plot from the TV show.

Looking at it now, He Yuzhu had changed the fate of many people.

But Yan Bugui really hadn't changed at all.

He Yuzhu didn't take it to heart and walked into the courtyard humming a tune.

Yan Bugui, having walked quite a distance, spat on the ground and cursed: "He's not worried even after losing hundreds of millions. He still has family wealth. When did this bastard earn so much money? But, watching him build high buildings, watching him feast guests, watching his building collapse..."

He Yuzhu walked into his home and saw his mother, Shen Guizhi, wiping away tears.

"Mom, what's wrong?"

Shen Guizhi held He Yuzhu's hand and said: "Your uncle has diabetes, he's as thin as a Maguan. You should go see him when you have time."

He Yuzhu said: "Diabetes isn't that serious, is it? Can't he just eat less sugar and fewer staples?"

Shen Guizhi sighed: "Your uncle is good in every way. It's just that he loves eating sweet things; people from the south just can't break that habit. He eats Braised Pork every day, along with fried small river shrimp; the sugar he puts in one meal is enough for our family to eat for a month. How could he be healthy? Also, the Insulin needed to treat this disease has to be imported, and it's quite expensive. It seems like one bottle is over a hundred yuan. Your uncle's salary can't afford it."

He Yuzhu said: "Mom, don't worry, diabetes won't kill anyone. Isn't Insulin just 100 yuan a dose? It's only a matter of four or five hundred yuan a month."

Shen Guizhi said: "Your uncle and aunt don't have high retirement salaries."

He Yuzhu took out a card and said: "Mom, here is five million, you take it. How to give it? How much to give at a time? It's all up to you to decide."

"This is too much," Shen Guizhi said.

"Mom, I'm not short on money. I was out for a month this time and earned quite a lot back."

Shen Guizhi sighed and said: "Your father came back and said that A Zheng's company has to pay others several hundred million. What should we do? You should give this money to him, don't give it to me."

He Yuzhu said: "Don't worry, I can solve his problem. I just want to keep him hanging for a while. This kid has watched his mother do business since he was little, I don't know how he learned it, but he ended up being reckless. He wants to gamble on everything. I've always wanted him to suffer a bit in this regard. Don't worry, he won't end up paying this money."

Shen Guizhi finally relaxed: "Your father told me long ago that you would definitely have a way."

He Yuzhu nodded: "My father understands me best."

Shen Guizhi suddenly shed tears again, "Son, I still want to see the grandson Lin Wanning gave birth to, when will you let him come back?"

Shen Guizhi said: "Don't worry, if he doesn't come back this summer vacation, he won't be able to inherit the He Family's money. I don't believe he won't come back."

"His mother has plenty of money, maybe she doesn't care about your little bit of money at all," Shen Guizhi said.

"Mom, you don't know, the richer people are, the more they care about money," He Yuzhu said.

"I don't care about anything else, I just want to see my grandson. As long as you let me see him, I'll use any trick," Shen Guizhi said, "By the way, He Xiao and Fang Deng have started seeing each other."
