Chapter 1205: Fried Liver

Red Star Rolling Steel Factory

Office

Cao Weiguo put down the newspaper in his hand: "Brother Damao, do you have something for me?"

Xu Damao: "Yes! A big deal!"

Cao Weiguo asked curiously: "What big deal?"

Xu Damao said with deep bitterness: "Shazhu is going to marry a wife! You tell me, isn't this a big deal? How can this bastard with pus on the soles of his feet get married! He should be a bachelor for the rest of his life!"

Cao Weiguo asked with interest: "Oh? Shazhu is marrying a wife? What's going on?"

Xu Damao said bitterly: "I don't know what kind of scheme Qin Widow is playing, but she introduced another cousin to Shazhu, named Qin Yanru, from her fourth uncle's family. The girl looks good, but her brain doesn't work well; she actually took a liking to that bastard Shazhu."

Cao Weiguo stroked his chin: "Interesting! One Qin Jingru left, and another Qin Yanru came. This Qin Huairu really takes good care of Shazhu."

Xu Damao gritted his teeth: "Weiguo, you are resourceful, help me come up with an idea on how to ruin Shazhu's marriage. He caused me to be unable to have children, so he shouldn't have children either."

Cao Weiguo said: "Brother Damao, let me think about this. Once I have a good idea, I'll tell you immediately."

Xu Damao said: "Then thank you for your hard work. Once Shazhu's marriage is ruined, I'll treat you to a drink."

"Ding-a-ling..."

After Xu Damao left, the landline on the desk suddenly rang.

Cao Weiguo picked up the receiver, and Secretary Han's voice came through: "Weiguo, congratulations on having a big, fat boy."

Cao Weiguo laughed: "Thank you, Brother Han. Do you have time to come over for a drink the day after tomorrow for the child's one-month celebration?"

Secretary Han: "Of course I have time. Even if I didn't, I'd have to squeeze it out. By the way, Weiguo, I have something to tell you..."

After the pleasantries, Secretary Han started talking about business, leaving Cao Weiguo stunned.

"Weiguo, recently many cadres in the bureau have been dismissed due to ideological problems. This wind will soon blow to subordinate units... The higher-ups have already dispatched personnel to launch an investigation into the Red Star Rolling Steel Factory..."

Cao Weiguo's heart shook: "Brother Han, what's going on?"

"I can't tell you the details about this. You just need to know that from now on, you must be strict with yourself and have a clear-cut stance."

The two chatted for a while, and Secretary Han hung up the phone.

Cao Weiguo hadn't recovered yet when the landline he had just put down rang again.

This time it was a call from Director Jiang, and the content was also to remind Cao Weiguo to pay attention to safety and stance, saying it's better to do nothing than to do something wrong.

The sudden phone calls made Cao Weiguo feel nervous, and he even had the urge to take sick leave and go home to rest.

Burdened with worries, he muddled through until the end of the workday, when Director Du and his group from the Planning Section dragged Cao Weiguo to Tianxingju.

Tianxingju was originally named "Huixianju" and opened in the first year of the Tongzhi reign of the Qing Dynasty (1862) at Xianyukou outside Qianmen, founded by Liu Yongkui. Initially, Huixianju was a small tavern selling yellow wine and small dishes like peanuts, century eggs, and salted duck eggs. By the Republic of China, Huixianju had developed from a single-story house to a two-story building and added wontons on the second floor.

In 1933, a new shop specializing in fried liver, Tianxingju, opened diagonally across from Huixianju, intending to compete with it.

In 1956, during the public-private partnership, Huixianju and Tianxingju merged at the site of Tianxingju, called Tianxingju. The descendant of the original manager of Tianxingju, Sha Deliang, served as the manager, and the master who made the best fried liver at Huixianju took charge of the stove. They even set up a special workshop for washing intestines, allowing the traditional flavor of Kyoto fried liver to be inherited.

As soon as they entered, Director Du shouted loudly: "Manager Liu! Manager Liu!"

A man wearing a gray Zhongshan suit at the counter looked up and walked out with a smile: "Oh my, isn't this Old Du? It's been a while since you've been here."

Director Du laughed: "Hi! You know me, I have endless work every day. It's not easy to come here once. How about it, don't you have to show something?"

Manager Liu said: "Look at what you're saying! It's rare for you to come once, can I be stingy? I'll pay out of my own pocket to give you a bottle of Niulanshan! Is that enough?"

Director Du laughed heartily: "Generous! Also, help me arrange a quiet spot."

Manager Liu said: "No problem, come, let's go to the second floor."

Director Du laughed: "Old Liu, let me introduce you. This is our factory's Logistics Division Chief, Comrade Cao Weiguo. You must treat him well."

Manager Liu walked up enthusiastically to shake hands: "Chief Cao, welcome to Tianxingju."

Cao Weiguo shook Manager Liu's hand and laughed: "Manager Liu is too polite."

Manager Liu led the group to the second floor with a smile and arranged a private room.

In this era, there were no private enterprises, and this Tianxingju was also public. If you didn't have some connections, you wanted to sit in a private room? ===== CHAPTER 1207 =====
