Chapter 694: Blue Eyes
The green trees on this hill are lush, the greenery is very good, and it seems that the environment is very peaceful, but Xia Ruofei is keenly aware of the strict guards under this calm, he doesn't even need to use mental power, just by virtue of the sixth sense of the profession, he can find that there are many hidden locations with secret sentinels.
The car drove directly to the road up the mountain, drove a few hundred meters on the smooth asphalt road, and after turning a corner, it encountered the first checkpoint, and the soldiers standing guard were armed with loaded guns.
Chen Gang slowly slowed down the car and pressed the window.
Song Rui explained: "There are many retired old comrades living here, so there is a regiment of troops stationed all the year round to be responsible for guarding, and the entry and exit checks are very strict, and if no one picks you up, you will definitely not be able to enter." ”
Xia Ruofei smiled and nodded without speaking, in fact, he could see that although the soldiers guarding these guards were all elites in the army, with his current cultivation, it was not difficult at all to avoid the bright post and secret post and sneak in.
Of course, Xia Ruofei will not be stupid to say it.
After checking and registering, the car moved on.
There are at least five sentry posts along the way, and there are countless secret sentry posts.
Finally, the car turned a corner, and a vast courtyard under the shade of green trees appeared in front of everyone.
There were also two armed soldiers standing at the gate of the courtyard, watching warily ahead.
Chen Gang poked his head out and waved his hand, and the two soldiers immediately opened the gate, and the car drove directly to the courtyard where they first entered.
"It's here!" Song Rui said with a grin.
Xia Ruofei and the three of them got out of the car, and Song Rui said, "Grandpa is in the backyard!
Xia Ruofei smiled and nodded, and then said to Chen Gang: "Staff Officer Chen, thank you!"
Chen Gang was stunned for a moment, he obviously didn't expect Xia Ruofei to thank him specifically, but he still came back to his senses immediately and said, "You're welcome!
Xia Ruofei nodded at Chen Gang, and then followed Song Rui towards the inside.
This is a traditional three-entry old house, there is a spacious parking lot in the front yard, where guards, cooks and other staff live, the middle courtyard Song Lao usually works and meets guests, and some of his entourage can also stay here, and the backyard is the place where Song Lao rests, the environment is the most secluded, without permission, even the descendants of the Song family can not enter at will.
Song Rui took Xia Ruofei through the middle courtyard, stood at the door of the backyard and said, "I can only take you here, you go in to see the old man!
"Okay!" Xia Ruofei patted Song Rui's shoulder and walked inside.
As soon as he entered the backyard, Xia Ruofei felt like he had come to a paradise, and the style here was completely different from the previous one.
In the yard, a vegetable patch has been carved out, on which a lot of vegetables are grown, and there is a grape trellis on the other side, which is full of grape vines, and there are stone tables and stone benches under the grape trellises.
Some of the planting tools are placed in an orderly manner against the courtyard wall, which looks like an ordinary farm yard.
Director Lu obviously got the news from the front yard and was already waiting in the yard.
As soon as he saw Xia Ruofei, he greeted him with a smile and said, "Xiao Xia, the chief has been waiting for you for a long time!"
Xia Ruofei hurriedly said: "Yo! Then I'm really guilty, how can I let the old birthday star wait for me!"
Director Lu laughed and said, "You Xiao Xia! The chief has been talking about you a lot during this time! You said that the chief has been back to Beijing for so long, and you don't want to come over to see him......
Xia Ruofei said with a wry smile: "I have always been busy with mundane affairs, and besides, Song Lao's identity is special, and if I come often, there will be many inconveniences......
"The status is special, that's for others!" Director Lu said with a smile, "The chief treats you as his descendant, and you can come over at any time if you want to see the chief." ”
"I know, Director Lu!" Xia Ruofei said with a warm heart.
The courtyard behind was not big, and the two of them had already crossed the courtyard while they were talking, and came to the hall in the middle.
"Chief, Xiao Xia is here!" Director Lu said at the door.
Song Lao sat in the middle of the hall, and there were many people sitting on both sides, and they all followed the prestige.
Xia Ruofei hurriedly took a few steps forward, walked into the hall, and said respectfully to Song Lao: "Chief, today is your birthday, I wish you happiness like the long flowing water of the East China Sea, and your longevity is better than that of Nanshan Immortal Pine!"
Old Song had white hair, but his spirit was quite good, and his gaze at Xia Ruofei was also very kind, and he smiled and said, "Thank you for your blessings!" Xiao Xia, come and sit!"
Xia Ruofei stepped forward, he had already seen the people in the room clearly at this time, in addition to Song Lao's children, there were also a few leading cadres who were obviously close to Song Lao, including Tian Huilan, who was transferred to the capital, and Lieutenant General Zhao Cheng, who Xia Ruofei helped treat diabetes last time.
It seems that although Song Lao's birthday is a family banquet, leaders at a certain level who are closer to him are still invited.
Of course, Song Lao could still think of Xia Ruofei and asked Song Rui to call and invite him personally, which still moved him very much.
Tian Huilan, Zhao Cheng, Song Rui's father, Song Zhengping, and several other children of Song Lao, who had dealt with Song Lao a few times when he was treating him, all smiled and nodded at Xia Ruofei, while the others looked at Xia Ruofei with some curiosity.
The people who can sit with Song Lao in the backyard must be high-level leaders, or children of the Song family with a high status, Xia Ruofei doesn't touch either at a glance, and at the same time he is so young, but Song Lao, who has always been very serious, is so kind to him, everyone is naturally full of curiosity.
After Xia Ruofei sat down, Song Lao asked with a smile, "Xiao Xia, I heard Xiao Rui say...... You just happened to be in the capital on a business trip this time?"
Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "Yes, chief, our company has recently developed a skin care product, and this time I came here mainly for the sake of the brand image spokesperson." ”
Song Lao asked curiously: "Your company actually produces skin care products, aren't you mainly engaged in agricultural and sideline products?"
Xia Ruofei scratched his head a little embarrassed and said: "This is a natural skin care product of pure Chinese medicine, and it is also a prescription that I got by accident, and then I tried to make some for relatives and friends, and the effect was very good, so I found a way to mass produce it......"
"Oh...... Pure Chinese medicine! An expert like you must have a very good effect!" said Song Lao with a smile.
Some of the people present who didn't know much about Xia Ruofei saw that Song Lao actually cared about such a small matter, and asked a few words with interest, and they were even more surprised in their hearts, and they couldn't help but look at Xia Ruofei a few more times.
And Tian Huilan's eyes lit up after hearing this, and she couldn't help asking: "Ruofei, the skin care product you are talking about, should it be...... Jade Skin Balm, right?"
After Xia Ruofei made the jade skin cream, she also gave a lot to Tian Huilan and Lu You, so she was very aware of the magical effect of the jade skin cream, but she was an elder after all, and she was too embarrassed to ask Xia Ruofei for it after the jade skin cream was used up.
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "Aunt Tian, it's the jade skin cream, we have now developed a method for mass production, and if nothing else, it should be on sale soon." ”
Song Lao's daughter Song Zhilan also used jade skin cream, of course, she only got one copy, which was also given to her by Tian Huilan.
Song Zhilan's eyes suddenly lit up after hearing this, and she said, "That jade skin cream is finally going to be mass-produced! It's really good...... Xiao Xia, when will I be able to buy it?"
Seeing this, Song Lao couldn't help but laugh, and said, "Xiao Xia, it seems that the effect of this jade skin cream in your company is really very good! Even Huilan and Zhilan can't hold their breath anymore......"
Tian Huilan is a ministerial-level leader, and although Song Zhilan is not in politics, she is responsible for the operation of the Song family's industry, and the flow of funds under her hands is often hundreds of millions.
Xia Ruofei touched his nose a little embarrassed and said: "I am still confident in the effect of the product, but what the sales will be after the launch depends on the market test!"
Then Xia Ruofei said to Song Zhilan: "Aunt Song, the approval procedures for the jade skin cream have been completed in Mashan, and now the preparations are also smooth, and it should be on sale within a month at the latest, but our production capacity is limited in the early stage, and there may not be a lot of goods in the capital." ”
"That's ......," Song Zhilan said, "It's okay, then I'll ask Xiao Rui to help me buy more in Southeast Province!"
Although Tian Huilan didn't speak, her expression was also a little eager to try, and she was obviously very tempted.
Xia Ruofei's heart moved slightly, and said with a smile: "Aunt Tian, Aunt Song, I also brought some products to the capital this time, tomorrow I will ask Song Rui to bring you some, you can share them with relatives and friends, if it is easy to use, help us publicize it!"
Although Xia Ruofei gave Tian Huilan a lot of jade skin cream before, and it has been popular in the small circle for a while, he didn't want to mass-produce it immediately at that time, so the amount of boiling was very small.
Now that it is ready to be listed on a large scale, he has also prepared a lot of hand-boiled jade skin cream in the Lingtu space - because in Feng Jing's sales plan, there is a limited edition jade skin cream that is boiled by hand, so Xia Ruofei has asked Xia Qing to start boiling in the space and prepare enough goods.
Xia Ruofei suddenly realized that upper-class ladies like Tian Huilan and Song Zhilan would be very good propagandists of jade skin cream, and he was very confident in the medicinal effect of jade skin cream, as long as he took out a small amount of jade skin cream, let this magical product become popular in the upper circles first, and when it goes on sale after a while, it will receive very good results.
Even these upper echelons flock to it, and this is simply the best advertisement.
Song Lao laughed and said, "Xiao Xia's business acumen is good!"
None of the people present were simple characters, and after a little pondering, they naturally figured out Xia Ruofei's intentions, and they all showed a kind smile.
Xia Ruofei smiled and said: "Iron still needs to be hard, the main thing is that I have confidence in my products......"
Song Lao said thoughtfully: "Yes! If the product is not good, even if it is advertised, users will not buy it! This is true of business, and why is it not the case in politics?"
Several of Song Lao's children and those military and political officials all showed thoughtful looks.
Song Lao just sighed casually, but he didn't preach so much, and quickly looked at Xia Ruofei and asked, "By the way, I remember that you also developed a special drug for the treatment of autism, how is the situation of this project now?"
Xia Ruofei hurriedly said: "It is still in the clinical trial stage, and the approval process of the drug is relatively complicated, but everything is very smooth, and it is not far from the official launch......
Song Lao said with satisfaction: "Very good! This is a great thing for the benefit of the country and the people! A large number of children with autism are born in China every year, and so far there is no special drug for the treatment of autism in the world.
Xia Ruofei's expression was solemn, and he said respectfully: "Yes, chief!"
Tian Huilan on the side also looked at Xia Ruofei with some emotion, she empathized with the pain of autistic families, because her sister Tian Huixin encountered such misfortune, and it was precisely because of Xia Ruofei that Huanhuan was able to get out of her lonely world and become a cheerful and lively normal child.
Song Lao then asked about Xia Ruofei's company, and the more everyone listened, the more they felt that Xia Ruofei was not simple - not because Xia Ruofei had such a big career at a young age, in fact, Xia Ruofei's career was very small in the eyes of anyone in this room, but it was the first time they saw Song Lao actually care about Xia Ruofei's small things in every detail, and their hearts were more and more shocked.
It is no exaggeration to say that the appointment of a leading cadre at the department level or even at the deputy ministerial level is not a big deal in Song Lao's opinion, even if he has retired to rest, but his influence is still huge, and perhaps a sentence can determine the direction of a policy.
Now that he is so concerned about the affairs of a small company in the southeast province, the future of this young man is limitless!
Song Lao chatted with Xia Ruofei very kindly for a while, and then said with a smile: "Ruofei, you go to the front to find Song Rui and them first! It will be time to eat in a while! It is estimated that you will not be comfortable accompanying us ...... old man."
Xia Ruofei said a little embarrassed: "Okay, chief, then I'll go down first......"
Song Lao waved his hand and said, "Go ahead, when you eat later, you can accompany me to drink two more glasses!"
"Okay!" Xia Ruofei said, then he said hello to the bigwigs in the house, and walked out of the hall.
In fact, Xia Ruofei will not have stage fright at all, since he has the spirit map space and stepped into the path of cultivation, Xia Ruofei's mentality has changed a lot unconsciously, there are feudal officials in this house, there are leaders of ministries and commissions, maybe ordinary people can't help but feel uncomfortable in front of their might, but Xia Ruofei has always been very indifferent.
Of course, instead of facing these elders, Xia Ruofei would definitely prefer to be with Song Rui, after all, everyone has a lot of common language among their peers.
Xia Ruofei walked into the courtyard and heard Song Zhilan remind: "Xiao Xia, don't forget about the jade skin cream!"
There was everyone's kind laughter in the room, Xia Ruofei stopped, turned around and said with a smile: "Don't worry! Aunt Song, I'll let Song Rui go to the hotel with me to get it when I go back!"
Leaving the backyard, Xia Ruofei called Song Rui: "I'm out, where are you?"
"This side of the South Room!" Song Rui said, "You can come over directly! I'll eat here in a while!"
So Xia Ruofei walked towards the south room, he pushed open the door and went in, only to find that the room here was very large, and it should have opened up several rooms in the south.
There are five large round tables in the south room, and there is a case table behind the table in the middle, and a big longevity character hangs behind it.
There were already eight or nine people sitting at the table closest to the door, and Song Rui was right here beckoning to Xia Ruofei and shouting, "Ruofei, this way!"
Xia Ruofei followed the prestige, and when he saw the person sitting at the table, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
