64. Restlessness
"You're going to build roads?" Gu Shuhan asked after listening to Bai Yu's intention.
"Yes. Now that high-performance cars have been produced, the road can't always be so potholed. Bai Yu said in a joking tone: "Of course, the asphalt plant has not even been opened yet, and it is too early to say this." ”
"Ordinary roads don't need modified asphalt – especially high-performance modified asphalt." Gu Shuhan nodded lightly.
Bai Yu just wanted to say something, but was stopped by Gu Shuhan: "Forget it, I know this is a signal from the government, you don't have to tell me all this." If you have already decided on the main products and site of the new factory, then I will be your advisor. ”
Even if the cooperation with the government is close, Gu Shuhan still subconsciously keeps a certain distance from the government.
As early as after she heard about Bai Yu's intentions, she realized that the government was afraid that it was going to take action. Now, from Bai Yu's expression, she is even more sure of this. For this matter, she only intends to understand this kind of process, and she has no intention of getting to the bottom of it. She is past the age of excessive curiosity, and she thinks more rationally than emotionally.
She knew in her heart that after all, she was only a collaborator of the government, not their 'own people', and knowing too much was not a good thing for her.
Just like she will only share some less core technologies with government researchers, the government will also have reservations about her, which is clear at a glance. So, she just needs to know what she needs to know, and that's enough. There is really no need to delve into something deeper.
The government invested a large amount of money in the construction of the asphalt plant, and Gu Shuhan did not join the plant as a shareholder – apparently, at least for the time being, the government has no intention of making the plant a profit-making organization. As the technical consultant of the factory, Gu Shuhan's remuneration is all paid by the government. Obviously, they also knew that Gu Shuhan was a busy man, and in order to invite Gu Shuhan, they gave a rather generous honorarium.
Since she became her own boss, Gu Shuhan has not taken over a job purely as a consultant for a long time, and this time she will agree, purely because she sees the government's determination in this matter. Otherwise, no matter how high the remuneration is, she may not accept it, after all, there are so many things to worry about in her own factory.
So, without most people noticing, the asphalt processing plant opened, and soon after, the construction of the road from city B to city E began......
Due to the fact that the Han family's army crossed the border, recently, the Bai family and the Han family have been on the bar again. What was originally just a small friction later escalated almost to an armed conflict. This time, relations between the two sides were so tense that even foreign ambassadors did not intervene to mediate.
Bai Yu is getting busier and busier, in the past, he could be seen every two or three days, but now, he has not been seen for weeks or weeks. Gu Shuhan noticed that the number of patrols on the streets of City B has recently increased by two or three times as many as in the past, and the orders recently placed by the military headquarters to the Gu Arms Factory have suddenly increased.
At some point, the sky began to become gloomy, and the dark clouds in the sky seemed to be about to be pressed overhead, and even the surrounding air became sullen and very uncomfortable.
Gu Shuhan glanced at the thunder and lightning rolling in the clouds outside the window, sighed, and closed the window.
She knew that a thunderstorm was coming.
Listening to the rumbling sound outside the window, Nan Nan couldn't hold it anymore and threw herself into Gu Shuhan's arms: "Mom, I'm afraid...... I'm afraid ......" The child's soft voice was full of horror and crying.
Gu Shuhan picked up Nannan, turned around and walked to the inner room, comforting Nannan with soft words as he walked. Now Nannan's weight is already a very burden for Gu Shuhan, but she still gritted her teeth and hugged Nannan, and patiently talked to Nannan, until the small body shrunk in her arms no longer trembled.
Nan Nan buried her head in Gu Shuhan's arms. In the past, every time there was thunder, she could only shrink under the covers, shivering, but now, with her mother by her side, she didn't seem so scared.
She took a deep breath, and her nose was filled with the smell of her mother.
It's nice to have my mom around.
Although due to autism, Nan Nan always doesn't know how to express her feelings, but recently, she has become closer and closer to Gu Shuhan. Unconsciously, Gu Shuhan and Gu's mother have completely entered her little heart and become her two most important people.
At present, the Gu family is quite calm about the social turmoil. Although she doesn't know the whole story, Gu Shuhan has a certain understanding of the city government B, and she believes that even if the government really plans to start a war with Hanjiang, it will not burn the war to city B. On the surface, the Southern government seems to be slightly inferior to the northern government, but she knows that the real strength of the southern government is much more than it seems, plus the advanced weapons and equipment that she has supplied...... If the southern government really fights with the northern government, it is not known who will kill the deer.
The friction at the border is only a fuse, and it is the grievances of both sides and the desire to annex each other that have led to the current situation. Now, no one has taken it lightly, but they are worried that the snipe and the clam will compete and the fisherman will profit, so Zhang Xunchong will take advantage of it for nothing.
The conflict on the border is becoming more and more intense, and the leaders of both sides are not restrained, as if they are brewing something. Once the conflict reaches a tipping point and the stalemate is broken, it becomes inevitable.
City B is in turmoil, people are panicking, and almost everyone is taking refuge where they think it is safe.
Although City B looks prosperous, the people of City B have also deeply experienced the pain of war. As early as when the foreigners invaded China, City B began to be chaotic, and then City B changed hands several times, and there was continuous war. It was not until now that the government took charge of City B and drove out the foreign troops stationed in City B, and City B got a short period of peace.
The short-lived peace did not erase the scars left by war in people's hearts and the fear of war in people's hearts.
Although Gu Shuhan knew that most of the wars would not be fought in City B, the others didn't know. These days, some people are busy fleeing, some are busy stocking up on food and water, and some are busy hiding in cellars. If it weren't for the army in City B to maintain order, I am afraid that there would have been a riot around it.
Looking at the street now, it is all depressed, far less lively than in the past. Only the Gu family is still the same as before, doing what they have to do, and their lives have not been affected by the tense atmosphere around them.
In fact, when the news first spread, Gu's mother and the maid Xiaoyan at home were also panicked for a while, but when they saw Gu Shuhan calm, as if it was no big deal, they gradually threw away the anxiety and anxiety in their hearts. I don't know when Gu Shuhan has become the backbone of the Gu family, and it seems that as long as she says there is no problem, there is no need to worry.
Of course, for the sake of safety, Gu Shuhan has recently reduced the number of times he goes out as much as possible, even if he wants to go out, he will bring double the bodyguards with him, and at the same time, more people have been arranged around the Gu family to guard.
The chaos in City B means that there is a lot more space for people to do their hands and feet, and I don't know how many people from Han and Zhang are in City B. Gu Shuhan did not forget how those people kidnapped her on the street before, and later planned to kidnap her mother and daughter to threaten her. She didn't want to cause any irreparable consequences because of her negligence.
To Gu Shuhan's surprise, Han Jiang and Zhang Xunchong's people seemed to have been quiet in City B.
Gu Shuhan thought about it, and he was relieved. At this critical juncture, one of them should be busy thinking about how to deal with the Bai family, and the other is thinking about how to benefit from it, and I am afraid that they will not pay attention to her, an inconsequential little person.
No matter how famous she is, she can only play a bystander in the war, not a participant. For them, she's not even a big player. At this time, the decisive role is still played by strength. Therefore, what they are most concerned about will only be their opponents themselves. If you can defeat the other party, what do you want? If you can't defeat the other party, what's the use of just grabbing some trivial things?
Gu Shuhan patted his cheek, looked at the weather outside the window, and smiled secretly in his heart, this rainy day made him a little suspicious.
A heavy rain, which fell intermittently for three days, and the cramped air was almost crazy. When the weather cleared, the Gu family finally breathed a sigh of relief, squinting at the sun overhead, and a smile appeared on their little faces.
Outside the house, there was a knock on the door, Xiao Yan hurriedly opened the door, and immediately, the people in the house heard Xiao Yan's angry and disgusted voice: "Why are you?" What are you doing in our house, go and go, get out of here! Our young lady and lady will never see you, have you heard? Hurry up and let me go, otherwise, I'll let Gao Zhuang let the dog bite you! ”
Xiaoyan has always been a polite girl, and in the impression of Gu Shuhan and Gu's mother, she has never been so unkind to people.
Gu's mother and Gu Shuhan got up and walked outside the house, asking as they walked, "Xiaoyan, who is here?" ”
The man's eyes lit up at the door, and he said excitedly: "Madam, Miss, I am rich and noble, Wang Fugui!" ”
All the people present, except for Gao Zhuang who scratched his head and didn't know anything, the other few people all knew the person in front of him.
The moment Gu Mu saw Wang Fugui, the smile on her face faded: "Oh, it's Fugui, what are you doing with us?" ”
Wang Fugui knelt down in front of Gu's mother and Gu Shuhan, and said with a crying voice: "Madam, Miss, please go and see the master." Sir, he's dying! ”
