Chapter 92: Entering the sight of more people

'You haven't changed much, you're still handsome as ever!' Luo Xiaozhong said with some jealousy after taking a close look at Han Songlin. This kid used to be the famous handsome guy in their entire army; I don't know how many young girls confessed their love to him, but he just didn't look at them.

He said he already had a wife in the village.

But because of this, Luo Xiaozhong looked at Han Songlin with high regard. To be able to resist temptation and remain true to oneself, there are not many people in the world who can do it.

The most important point is that among those who like Han Songlin, one is the daughter of the head of the household.

As long as Han Songlin agrees, he may, with the help of his father-in-law, have a great career in the military.

Han Songlin doesn't know any of this, otherwise he would be a son-in-law in no time; what's integrity? He's never heard of it.

He sits down in the chair and asks curiously, 'How did you find this place?'

'My father-in-law said that there was someone who spoke loudly at the meeting on professional football reform, so I was curious and asked about it, and I knew it was really you!'

Han Songlin crosses his legs and shakes his head lightly. What do you mean by speaking loudly?

'I was just being loud and clear. If you don't know how to use a Chinese idiom, don't use it. It makes you look like you have a very low level of education.' Han Songlin said, seemingly joking, while keeping an eye on Luo Xiaozhong's expression.

Han Songlin did have some memories of Luo Xiaozhong. It seemed that they had a good relationship, but he wasn't sure how long that relationship would last.

Friendships also have a shelf life!

If you don't get in touch for a long time, to be honest, no matter how good the relationship was in the past, it will fade.

Everyone's perception of the world differs at different ages.

These differences accumulate, and after ten or twenty years, looking back at the old self, one will find that they are completely different people.

'Haha, it seems that you speak differently now that you're a boss!'

'That's right, I'm learning every day. In the future, please call me a cultured person.'

Luo Xiaozhong shakes his head and laughs: 'You've changed a lot compared to before!'

The silly country boy from before was gone, and now there was just a slick businessman.

Han Songlin gently rocked his glass, looked at Luo Xiaozhong, and said with a downcast gaze, 'People will always change, it just depends on whether they change for the better or for the worse.'

Luo Xiaozhong was taken aback by these words, and thought about what Han Songlin had done recently: 'Yes, people will always change! How about having dinner together tonight?'

'Dinner is fine, but you're buying!'

Luo Xiaozhong was dumbfounded, pointed at Han Songlin for a while, and then said, 'It's true that the richer someone is, the more stingy they are!'

It's always a bit weird to chat inside a house, so Han Songlin took Luo Xiaozhong to a coffee shop with him.

In this day and age, drinking tea is no longer the most fashionable lifestyle for young people; drinking coffee is.

Everything has to be in line with international standards.

For example, the freshly ground coffee now has a slightly bitter taste that really leaves a lasting impression.

This is also a characteristic of the times. Because he is not confident, he wants to make a difference.

'So, are you still in the army?'

Luo Xiaozhong took a sip of coffee and shook his head, saying, 'I just changed jobs!'

'Oh, where are you working now?' Han Songlin was not worried that Luo Xiaozhong's salary would be lower.

Families with connections rarely let their children join the army, and they are usually directly arranged into the unit.

Luo Xiaozhong has experienced the army and was arranged into the unit?

"He is a small district chief in Zhili!'

Han Songlin felt speechless for a moment: "When, the dignified district chief, you still have to add a small word in front, you don't take the district chief as an official!'

Luo Xiaozhong laughed lightly and asked about Han Songlin's situation: "Tell me about you, in these past few years, you have changed a lot!'

What's going on? You've suddenly become a wealthy man.

Jinliufu wine is now very famous.

Even Mr Luo Xiaozhong's family now receives Jinliufu as gifts.

I have to say, the name of this wine really is very auspicious.

'After retiring from the army, I went crazy for a few years, lost track of time and days, and was in a daze!'

Han Songlin let out a sigh: 'Last year, I suddenly felt like I came to my senses. I saw my wife and children working hard in the fields, and I felt that I had really put her through a lot over the years. I just wanted to make some money and improve our family's life. So I took my retirement pension and went to the county seat to buy a shop and opened a braised pork shop.'

'The business was quite good, and then I thought about opening more shops and making more money; now it's doing pretty well. You can see stores in basically every city in the whole south.'

'Impressive!' Luo Xiaozhong gave a light applause. He really hadn't noticed before.

Han Songlin said, "Compared to you, I'm far behind!'

Luo Xiaozhong smiled bitterly and said, "I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, but I rely on my family.'

The Luo family is considered a relatively large family in China, with many former students and officials.

As the third-generation eldest grandson of the Luo family, Luo Xiaozhong is under a lot of pressure.

'No, you rely on your family and you rely on a sense of guilt? In this world, how many people want to rely on their families and can't rely on them! You, don't be unaware of your blessings when you are in them.' Han Songlin felt that Luo Xiaozhong was a bit pretentious.

If you really have connections, then use them.

Don't regret it when you achieve nothing, saying, when you were young, why didn't you think of this?

What's with the high and mighty act!

Of course, if you're capable and can succeed on your own, then I'll ignore what I just said.

Success that comes too easily through connections is not real success; it's like a castle built on sand, which will crumble at the first sign of trouble.

It's also not right to never make use of connections; in this world, everyone needs help from others, and success is only achieved with the help of two or more people.

'Moreover, your family background is indeed much higher than others at the beginning, but if you really want to move up in the future, to be honest, you still have to rely on yourself. As long as you can do things with a clear conscience in ordinary times, the rest doesn't matter.'

Luo Xiaozhong's gaze contained a hint of deep thought, as he looked up at Han Songlin, unable to suppress the smile at the corner of his mouth: 'If you were still in the army, you could have become a political commissar.'

'If I had that ability, I wouldn't be sitting here having coffee with you.'

Throughout the afternoon, Han Songlin spent it chatting with Luo Xiaozhong.

At the same time, Han Songlin also learned from Luo Xiaozhong that the suggestions made by Han Songlin were taken very seriously by the higher-ups and would be formally implemented in the professional reform.

Upon hearing this, Han Songlin's heart was slightly relieved.

This can be considered not a waste of his hard work.

If Chinese football remains in the doldrums in the future, Han Songlin will be able to say, 'I did my part for the development of the football industry, but unfortunately I was unable to do more.'

If he fails, he will at least have a reason to console himself.

In the evening, Luo Xiaozhong took Han Songlin to a courtyard house.

From the outside, you can tell that this courtyard is not ordinary.

It is surrounded by a circle of pools and planted with many green plants.

Inside, there are pavilions, flower terraces, and pavilions, which look particularly elegant.

'Where is this?' Han Songlin turned his head curiously. He wasn't surprised to hear that there was such a place.

In the future, places like this would just be ordinary parks.

Of course, the houses in ordinary companies would definitely not be old houses like this.

Han Songlin understood at a glance that this house was really old.

Thousands of years old it could not be, but two or three hundred years old, it still is.

Moreover, it has undergone modern renovations.
