Chapter 231 Li Huaide Takes Power
Time quickly came to May of 1966. The wind officially started to blow. The streets and factories were noisy. Young people wearing red armbands went around criticizing people with problematic family backgrounds. Only now did people in the hospital understand why Xu Damao disappeared. It turned out that love was foresighted!
That day, Li Kangri was slacking off in the office when there was a knock on the door.
"Bang bang bang!"
"Brother Xiao Li, are you there? I am your Brother Li."
Hearing Li Huaide's voice, Li Kangri immediately opened the door, and then he saw Li Huaide standing at the door with an excited look on his face.
"Hey, Brother Li, you look so radiant because you have good news! Come in and tell me." Li Kangri said politely.
"Brother Li, this is your fault. Didn't you hear the broadcast? Your brother is now the person in charge of the steel mill, the director of the Revolutionary Committee, and also serves as the secretary of the steel mill." Li Huaide said with a smile.
"Oh! Is that so? I didn't hear it when I was reading the book just now. Then congratulations to Brother Li for finally achieving his wish." Li Kangri pretended to say.
"Haha, Brother Li, I'm totally impressed by you. You see, besides your great medical skills, you're really accurate in fortune-telling! Minister Wan just called me. He has taken over the Ministry of Industry and asked me to come and tell you that he wants to find time to have a drink with you." Li Huaide said with a smile.
"Brother Li, don't mention fortune-telling now. It would be troublesome if you get caught." Li Kangri said with a smile.
"Hey, I have the final say in the factory now. I can arrest anyone I want. What am I afraid of? Besides, you are the head of the security department. Do you want to arrest yourself?" Li Huaide said with a smile.
"It seems like what Brother Li said is true? Hahaha, I'm going to need you to protect me from now on." Li Kangri laughed.
"What are you talking about? You are my brother. Don't worry, no one in Sijiu City will dare to touch you in the future. If anyone dares to cause trouble to you, let alone me, those people whose illnesses you have treated will not agree." Li Huaide said with a smile.
"Hehe, then I feel relieved. It's so noisy outside now, and I'm a little scared when I see it," Li Kangri said with a smile, "By the way, Brother Li, do you have anything else to talk to me about today?"
Hearing Li Kangri's question, Li Huaide said embarrassedly, "Little Li, can you prepare some of your medicine for me? Recently... you know."
"Flying Dragon Pill?" Li Kangri asked.
"That's right! Your medicine is really addictive. Once you get used to it, you'll feel like something is missing if you don't use it!" said Li Huaide.
"No problem, I'll give it to you tomorrow. I'll prepare a little more for you this time so you don't have to worry about me, Brother Li."
Hearing Li Kangri's words, Li Huaide's face was full of excitement, "Thank you, brother Li, I will give you the money another day."
"Haha, Brother Li, let's not talk about money. I actually like porcelain, calligraphy and paintings and so on. If you have them, please give them to me and I will buy them." Li Kangri took the opportunity to say this. He knew that this was the craziest time for house searches, and it would be quite nice for him to collect such good things and leave them to his descendants.
"No problem, as long as you like them. They're just some junk. I'll ask my people to keep an eye out for them next time. But speaking of these things, I remembered Director Lou and your good apprentice Xu Damao. Brother, do you know where they went?" Li Huaide asked. He felt that Li Kangri must have calculated something and informed his apprentice in advance to run away.
Seeing Li Huaide's expression, Li Kangri knew what he had guessed, so he said bluntly, "Haha, since Brother Li asked me, I won't hide it from you. A few years ago, my apprentice asked me to predict a word, and it predicted that staying here would bring disaster, so they moved their family to Hong Kong."
"I knew it was your work, brother. You are so amazing. Not only did you calculate it until today, but you also found a good place for your apprentice. It's now a paradise for capitalists." Li Huaide said admiringly.
"No, no, I knew from fortune-telling that they would have trouble in the future. I really didn't know it would be like this now." Li Kangri explained.
"I knew that you were a genius, brother. Now there's no one around, so how about you tell me another word?" Li Huaide said eagerly.
"What do you want to test, Brother Li?" Li Kangri asked.
"Hey, what else can I predict? Predict my career as an official! Predict my future career as an official!" said Li Huaide.
"Haha, okay, Brother Li, write it!" As he said that, Li Kangri picked up the paper and pen on the table and handed them over.
After taking the paper and pen, Li Huaide reached into his pocket and took out a black ten and placed it on the table. "This meaning cannot be missing. Any less is not allowed, hahaha."
After that, Li Huaide wrote the Chinese character "工" on the paper with a big stroke of his brush, and then said, "The workers' movement is now going strong, and I got promoted thanks to it, so I'm testing this character."
After taking the calligraphy, Li Kangri took a look at it and said, "Brother Li, this calligraphy is well written, but your position ends here."
Hearing what Li Kangri said, Li Huaide asked anxiously, "What do you mean? Brother Li, do you mean this is the highest position I've ever held in my life?"
"Well, that's what it means literally," Li Kangri explained.
After hearing the definite answer, Li Huaide was stunned for a while and then said, "Oh! Forget it, this position is also fine. I never thought that I would be able to sit in this position in this life. Brother Li, please tell me in detail."
"Haha, Brother Li, you have to think it over. Being an official in the future may not be a good thing. You see, the character "工" is like the character "上" with one stroke moved upwards, pressing down the head. That's why I said you would stop here. If you must stand out, then you will become the character "土". If people are stuck in the soil, that would be the end of the world. So it's better not to stand out. If you don't stand out, you will become the character "干". People who do work are workers. So you can't stand out either. If you stand out, you will go down to be the one who does things." Li Kangri explained.
"Hey, Brother Li, what you said is true. I just thought about it and I think it's nothing. I am satisfied to be able to reach this position in my life."
"Haha, Brother Li, you can only sit in this position for ten years. You will step down after ten years. But after you step down, your fortune will come. At that time, you will get rich, a huge fortune." Li Kangri explained.
"Oh! What do you mean?" Li Huaide asked.
"The top of the Chinese character 工 is a one with a ten on top, and the bottom of the character 工 is a one with a ten on the bottom, so I conclude that your career as an official will only last for ten years. However, if you use this character to ask about your fortune, it means that in ten years you will have workers, which means that you will be a boss at that time."
