Gao Jiu happened to have something to return to Chongqing, so he called Wang Zhankui, Guo Hengming, Tian Chuan, Mala Nian and others, and told them that Wang Zhankui would be responsible for handling affairs in the North District of the Golden Triangle during his departure.

Ouyang Xue was planning to return to Chongqing with Gao Jiu. Gao Jiu also thought that Chongqing's medical conditions were better, so the two boarded the plane together.

In the cabin, Gao Jiu said, "After I go back, I will hold a wedding with you."

Ouyang Xue understands why Gao Jiu is. If she is not married, it is difficult to accept in this era when she is pregnant before marriage, especially her family background will become a laughing stock in the upper class.

After hearing Gao Jiu say this, Ouyang Xue was so moved that she burst into tears. She hugged Gao Jiu's arm and pressed her cheek to his shoulder. After a long time, she raised her head and shook her head and said, "I don't want to get married, so keep this situation."

Ouyang Xue has been married to Gao Jiu for a long time, but she knows that Gao Jiu's career is now at a critical moment, and he needs the support of Xiao Yatong, Lin Yanni, Li Shasha and Jiang Xiaomei. She doesn't want to add trouble to Gao Jiu because of a wedding.

Gao Jiu was very moved to see Ouyang Xue so understanding. He said, "Ruoxue, I understand your feelings, but now you are pregnant and have no formal status. What will others think of you?"

Ouyang Xue touched her lower abdomen and said proudly: "If someone asks about the origin of the child, I will tell them that the child's father is a great hero who stands tall and strong. Others can only envy him and there will be no rumors."

Ouyang Xue said something. In fact, in the upper class of Chongqing, everyone knows that Ouyang Xue and Gao Jiu are close to each other. Even if Ouyang Xue is pregnant before marriage, everyone can guess the origin of this child. Ouyang Xue really has nothing to be embarrassed about.

Gao Jiu was very moved. He held Ouyang Xue's hand and said, "Ruoxue, don't worry, I will find a way to solve this problem."

After arriving in Chongqing, the wife had already sent her secretary to the airport to greet her, and Gao Jiu and Ouyang Xue came directly to the official residence of the big man.

After seeing Gao Jiu, the wife first said angrily: "Gao Jiu, you are an irresponsible person. Now that Ruoxue is pregnant, you should marry her quickly. Are you not afraid of affecting her reputation?"

Ouyang Xue said: "Cousin, it's not up to Gao Jiu for this matter. He has his difficulties."

The lady stared at her eyes and said, "Cousin, you are so stupid. You are obviously irresponsible to Gao Jiu, but you are still protecting him."

Ouyang Xue said again: "Cousin, we will deal with the matter between us ourselves."

The lady said dissatisfiedly: "Can you deal with it? You silly girl. If you know how to deal with it, how could you get to this point today? Let me explain to my uncle and aunt? No! Gao Jiu must give an explanation for this matter."

Gao Jiu said, "Thank you for your concern. I am just about to discuss this matter with you. Do you think this is OK? Ruoxue and I will get married soon and want to ask you to testify. But don't spread this matter everywhere, just let's know about it privately."

The lady said dissatisfiedly: "What are you talking about? Ruoxue comes from a famous family and is my cousin. What is shameful about the marriage between you and her? Do you still have to be so sneaky? Where do you let me and the big guys face? Ruoxue's parents and family will not agree."

Gao Jiu was a little unhappy when he heard this. He said, "Madam, since you don't want to, then we will handle the matter between Ruoxue and me by ourselves."

The lady became even more angry and pointed her finger at Gao Jiu and said, "Gao Jiu, you are too disrespectful."

Ouyang Xue hurriedly advised: "Cousin, Gao Jiu and I are in love with each other in a true love affair. There is no need to hold any ceremony to prove it. This is great. Please give us a testimony."

When the lady saw that Ouyang Xue had the same attitude. She was a person with very high emotional intelligence, she naturally didn't want to be troublesome. So she changed her tone and said, "Since you have this attitude, I will bless you. Do you think this is OK? If you don't want to hold a wedding publicly, then we won't go to church. I will invite a priest to come here to host the wedding for you, and I and the big guys will come to witness for you."

Gao Jiu and Ouyang Xue were both satisfied and expressed their gratitude to the wife.

Gao Jiu asked, "Madam, you are so anxious to call me back. Is there anything wrong?"

The lady said, "You have worked hard for a long trip, especially Ruoxue, and you can't be tired. If you don't talk about the serious matter today, please send Ruoxue back to rest. Tomorrow at 9 am, you will come to the office of the aviation committee to find me."

After leaving the big man's mansion, Gao Jiu said considerately: "Are you tired? I'll send you back to rest."

Ouyang Xue smiled and said, "No need. I want you to accompany me out for something to eat."

At 9 a.m. the next morning, Gao Jiu came to the aviation committee and walked to his wife's office after going upstairs. When he passed by the secretariat, his wife's secretary came out and said, "Mr. Gao, please come with me."

Gao Jiu followed the secretary to the conference room and saw that there were many people sitting in addition to his wife.

When everyone saw Gao Jiu coming in, they greeted him with a smile.

Gao Jiu didn't know these people and looked at them blankly. His wife introduced him. It turned out that these people were members of the disaster relief committee specially established for the drought problem in the south.

The lady said: "My gentlemen and ladies! Regarding the issue of drought in southern China, Mr. Gao first reminded the government and made preparations for it in advance. Mr. Gao invested 300 million kilograms of grain and provided it to the disaster relief committee free of charge to help the victims. Let us express our gratitude to Mr. Gao for his noble act of saving the country and the people."

"Bababababababababa." Everyone burst out with warm applause, and everyone was secretly amazed in their hearts that this guy is so rich.

Some people even thought to themselves: "After all, they are bandits, I don't know where he snatched the money from."

Some people know that there are many industries under Gao Jiu. For example, Gao Jiu is the major shareholder of a pharmaceutical factory that produces anti-Japanese drugs. The price of anti-Japanese drugs is now comparable to gold, and it is normal for Gao Jiu to have money.

No matter what, everyone still recognizes Gao Jiu's generosity.

Next, the Secretary-General of the Disaster Relief Committee and Deputy Minister Wang of the Ministry of Agriculture introduced Gao Jiu the disaster relief measures they took.

The lady asked, "Mr. Gao, what do you think of these measures? Is there anything else that needs to be added?"

Gao Jiu saw that there was basically no problem with these measures, and he said, "It's pretty good, I have no objection."

The lady said: "Dear members! Mr. Gao is not young, but has rich life experience. He is smart and good at thinking. He has his own unique methodology for dealing with problems. Today I specially invited Mr. Gao. What are your questions? You can ask Mr. Gao."

A senior official from Henan Province said: "Mr. Gao, in addition to the 300 million jin of grain you provide, the government has also raised a large amount of grain. However, the area of ​​the disaster area is so large that it involves tens of millions of people. These grains are a drop in the bucket. According to the situation you provide, the drought will continue until next spring. How can these grains survive the drought?"

Gao Jiu asked, "How did you distribute food?"

A senior official from Henan Province said: "At the beginning, we distributed food to the people in advance, but later we found that this method was not good, because the victims did not know how to save food at all. They just wanted to eat the food as soon as possible and then collect it from relevant government departments.

Later we had to change our methods and organize a large amount of manpower to set up porridge sheds in the disaster area and distribute porridge according to the heads. But despite this, there is still a big gap in the food. How do you think this problem should be solved?"

Gao Jiu said: "I have a few suggestions. The first is to strictly control the price of grain. We will resolutely crack down on grain merchants who dare to raise the price of grain. As long as the grain prices can be controlled, the government can buy more grain.

Article 2: Southeast Asia is rich in resources, and although it is in the war period, the price of food is still low. I can help the Disaster Relief Committee purchase food from Southeast Asia.

Article 3: Due to the long drought, it is probably still in short supply by purchasing large amounts of food alone, and we must save as much food as possible.

On this point, I also have two suggestions. The first is that the disaster relief committee should establish a strict supervision system to prevent local governments and individual corrupt elements from embezzling food.

Article 2: Try to let the victims control the consumption of food. As long as the food that everyone can obtain can maintain their basic needs in life, it can save a lot of food."

Secretary-General Wang of the Disaster Relief Committee said: "Mr. Gao, these suggestions you made are very useful and we will implement them as soon as possible. However, the last thing you said is to control the food consumed by the disaster victims. How should we do it specifically?"

Gao Jiu said: "When filling the porridge with the victims, locals must participate in the porridge cooking activities to identify those who pretend to be the victims and consume food."

A senior official from Henan Province said: "This is a solution. However, there are still problems in doing so. Many victims come from other places and cannot recognize them at all. Also, even if they use local people, they dare not offend people they know and cannot stop someone from pretending to be victims. How should this problem be solved?"

Gao Jiu said: "It's very simple. When the porridge is ready, mix sand in it."

"What? Mix sand into the porridge? That's too much." An elderly man immediately protested.

The members of the Disaster Relief Committee, including the wife, also looked at Gao Jiu with dissatisfaction, feeling that Gao Jiu's behavior was a bit unreasonable.

However, Gao Jiu was a guest invited by his wife, and she knew Gao Jiu very well and knew that Gao Jiu would never say such a way for no reason. The lady said: "Mr. Gao, please tell me what is the purpose of doing this?"

Gao Jiu did not answer his wife's words immediately, and he smiled and said, "Madam, gentlemen, ma'am, please allow me to tell you a story first.

During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, Shaanxi suffered a severe drought. Grand Secretary Heshen was ordered to serve as an imperial envoy to go to disaster relief. What he did was to open porridge sheds everywhere, but found that the food was consumed very quickly. He felt very surprised, so he sent his confidants to the porridge distribution point below to observe.

They found that among the victims, they often met familiar faces. After following them, they found that some of these people were long-term workers in wealthy families. In order to save food, the landlords asked these long-term workers to come and drink some porridge. Some of them were from wealthy families and they also came to take advantage of them.

After careful investigation, he found that this phenomenon was very common and it was difficult to prevent these people from taking advantage of the government.

Later he thought of a way to mix sand into the cooked porridge. Those who are well-off families are unwilling to take advantage of the food. The long-term workers also have their opinions, and the landlords are not willing to force them anymore, so as to avoid the extra people who receive food.

And those victims just wanted to fill their stomachs. They didn't care whether there was sand inside, so they ensured that the victims were truly relieved."

"So that's how it is!" Everyone understood and stopped questioning Gao Jiu.

Gao Jiu continued: "In fact, Heshen's method still has some scientific basis. The victims were very afraid of hunger. They ate very quickly. Because the time was too short, their brains didn't have time to receive the signal that they had eaten full. In fact, their stomachs were full, but they still wanted to eat.

Everyone knows that if the meal speed is too fast, the food will not be fully chewed and cannot be fully absorbed, and the hunger of the victims will be even stronger. If sand is mixed in the rice, the speed will naturally be much slower when they eat. In this way, they can fully absorb the food, relieve their hunger, and save a lot of food."

The lady nodded and said, "Mr. Gao's words make sense. What do you all think?"

Although everyone felt that this method was a bit unspeakable, it was indeed a very feasible method. So everyone nodded in agreement.

Gao Jiu said: "When Heshen was providing disaster relief, he also implemented a method, which was to improve the treatment of grassroots officials and relevant staff who implemented disaster relief in detail. Disaster relief activities are a very hard thing. We cannot expect that grassroots officials can have high quality like everyone here. If they do not have any benefits, they will not have the enthusiasm and the disaster relief work will be difficult to implement smoothly."

Gao Jiu's suggestion won everyone's praise again.

Through this meeting, the members of the Disaster Relief Committee were deeply impressed by Gao Jiu. It was no accident that Gao Jiu was able to be famous all over the world.

The wife announced that the Disaster Relief Committee would be allowed to improve the disaster relief plan according to Gao Jiu's suggestion, and then announced the meeting to be dismissed.
