Siheyuan: Shazhu's Life Simulator

"Don't be impatient, young man."

"Where are you planning to hold your wedding?"

He Yuzhu: “Not held.”

Chen Gensheng: “What?”

He Yuzhu: "It's not that I don't want to marry Xueru in a grand manner."

"Uncle Chen, you still don't understand the current situation?"

"Showing off so loudly is courting death!"

Chen Gensheng: "Not really?"

He Yuzhu: "Do you know what image you businessmen have in everyone's mind now?"

“It’s the capitalists.”

"Evil capitalist."

Chen Gensheng sat dejectedly on the sofa, silent for a long time.

He Yuzhu: "I'm not trying to scare you, and you're not a big businessman. Just hand over your wealth and you'll be safe."

Chen Gensheng: 'All?'

He Yuzhu: "What do you think?"

"This is what my Chen family has accumulated for generations."

He Yuzhu: "It's the same old saying. Give up your wealth to save your life, or take advantage of the fact that you can still leave now and take your belongings and family and flee far away."

Chen Gensheng; "But..."

He Yuzhu knew that he was reluctant to leave, but what could he do?

"I married Xueru, and we are a family. I won't scare you in this regard. Maybe you can still live a stable life for a few years, but after the public-private partnership, you will hand over half of your wealth."

"If something unexpected happens in a few years, what will you and the Chen family do?"

"If a man does not think about the future, he will have immediate worries."

Chen Gensheng: "But the Chen family's assets are not small, and much of it cannot be taken away!"

I have analyzed everything that needs to be said to Chen Gensheng and also reminded him implicitly that he is a smart man and knows how to make choices.

But if she insists on money over her life, there's nothing I can do. Even though you are Chen Xueru's biological father, there's nothing I can do about it.

He just wanted to save Chen Gensheng's life, but it was sad that he lost his life for money.

He Yuzhu returned to the factory in the afternoon. The factory leaders had to be on duty at night, so he had to eat in the canteen.

"Dad, you should find a cook."

"This way we are both free. If there are no distinguished guests, we don't have to fight."

He Daqing: "Where can I find it?"

He Yuzhu: "Don't you have fellow apprentices? You can find their disciples!"

He Daqing: "That's a solution. I'll contact them after get off work tonight."

He Yuzhu: "What are you doing at night?"

"Go now."

He Daqing went home early with his lunch box from get off work, and when he got home, He Yushui opened the lunch box.

He Daqing: "Eat less. Are you going to eat dinner at night?"

He Yushui nodded her head: "I understand."

But he keeps talking, like a hamster.

He Daqing bought two pounds of pastries and went to his senior brother's house after get off work.

"Daqing, why are you here?"

"Don't you work in the steel mill?"

"I just came to see you, brother!"

"Don't talk nonsense. Can you still come to see me on your own initiative?"

At this time, the sister-in-law made him a cup of tea and said, "Thank you, sister-in-law."

"I'll go cook, you brothers can have a good drink tonight, but my cooking skills are not as good as yours, so don't argue."

"Stop working."

"After that, I went back. My family is waiting for me."

Senior Brother: "Go ahead."

He Daqing: "How much of your power has your Shengli learned?"

The senior brother thought about it and said, "About 60 to 70 percent."

He Daqing nodded: "That's enough."

"I can arrange for our nephew to work in a steel mill. What do you think, brother?"

Senior Brother: "How much does a chef at a steel mill earn?"

He Daqing: "The salary of a regular worker plus subsidies can make more than 30 yuan a month."

The senior brother is impatient: "He's only thirty-something. Shengli is fifty at the restaurant."

He Daqing: "Just listen to what I have to say."

"You can arrange for him to be the monitor of the cafeteria and give him an extra subsidy of 2.5 yuan per month."

Senior Brother: “That’s not much!”

He Daqing: "You can't calculate it that way. Although the salary is a little less."

"But it's much easier than working in a restaurant. There's someone cooking the big pot of food, and when my nephew comes, I just prepare the banquet. It's so easy. There's little work and the salary is high."

"I'm busy from morning till night at the restaurant, but I have nothing to do at the steel mill. I just prepare a banquet. How many dishes are there in a banquet?"

"Not only can I help in the kitchen, but I can also take food home. You are not allowed to do that in restaurants!"

"With all the hidden benefits added together, it's no worse than a restaurant."

"We are not outsiders. This is a good thing. I just remembered our victory. The steel mill is now a joint venture, and it will be state-owned in the future!"

"It is currently being expanded. In the future, it will be a factory with 10,000 employees. Its status and position will be extraordinary."

"What is the most glorious thing now?"

"The working class."

Senior Brother: "Let me think about it."

He Daqing: "That's fine. If you have made up your mind, let Shengli come to the factory to find me tomorrow."

Senior Brother: "Daqing, from the sound of your voice, you are doing well in the steel mill?"

"Hahaha."

He Daqing smiled and said, "I am now the canteen director, and our Zhuzi is the canteen deputy director and deputy chief of the security department."

The senior brother was surprised: "You two are really good at mixing things up."

He Daqing: "You know what I am like. I am fine with you cooking. This is because Zhuzi's ability caught the attention of the senior leaders. The leaders in the factory also have a good relationship with him. I am just taking advantage of him."

"If he wasn't old enough, it wouldn't be my turn."

The senior brother envied: "You two are cadres now!"

"It's time for Zhuzi to find a partner. My family..."

"Zhu Zi's wife is pregnant."

"what?"

"Why didn't you inform us about Zhuzi's marriage?"

"I didn't do it. You know that for the sake of your future, you have to keep a low profile on some things and follow the trend!"

The senior brother nodded: "That's right, I understand."

"Since you and Zhuzi have taken care of it, I will agree on behalf of Shengli and let him report to you tomorrow."

He Daqing: "Okay, I'll go home first. My family is waiting for me to cook."

"Your daughter-in-law can't cook?"

"She's just pregnant, and it's her first child, so she should be careful, and her cooking skills are not as good as ours. My Yushui has become a picky eater, and she doesn't like the food cooked by anyone other than me and Zhuzi."

Senior Brother: "Then I won't be polite to you and won't keep you here."

"See you."

After He Daqing left, his sister-in-law asked his senior brother, "Why did Daqing leave?"

"I'm going back to cook for my daughter-in-law and Yu Shui."

"what?"

"When did Zhuzi get married?"

"It probably won't be long. My wife just got pregnant."

"He Daqing is such a jerk. He didn't even inform us about Zhuzi's marriage, which is such a big thing."

"Don't be so picky. They didn't do it. The father and son of the He family are not simple people now. Daqing is the canteen director of the steel mill, and Zhuzi is the deputy director and the deputy chief of the security department. They are very successful!" "Don't be surprised. Daqing came here to let us work in the steel mill."

"I am a woman and I don't understand these things. You can make the decision."

"I decided to let Shengli go. He has learned a lot from me. I told Daqing that 60% to 70% of it was out of modesty."

"There is nothing much for Shengli to learn from me. He can learn something else from Daqing."

"Although the salary at the steel mill is a little lower than that at the restaurant, Daqing is right. This is a regular job with a stable salary!"

"With the hidden benefits, it's not much worse than working in a restaurant. The most important thing is that Daqing said that Shengli will be assigned as a canteen monitor when he goes there."

"Although he is not a formal cadre, as a squad leader he has a chance to be promoted."

"You mean we still have a chance to become cadres if we win?"

"Yes, it depends on whether Shengli is the right material, and whether the He family father and son really want to promote him and give him their best efforts."

"But Daqing and Zhuzi are not outsiders. I trust them both."

"Tomorrow I will go to the restaurant to resign on behalf of Shengli. Please prepare some of the good cigarettes, good wine and bad wine that others gave me and let Shengli take them tomorrow."

"Although he and I are brothers in the same school, we still have to have some personal connections. It's not only a favor for him to arrange a job for Shengli, but he might even have to pay for it."

When He Daqing returned home, Mu Chunhua and He Yushui were sitting on a small stool in the yard, picking vegetables.

"dad·····"

He Yushui ran over when he saw He Daqing.

Mu Chunhua: "Dad, you're back."

He Daqing complained: "Hua'er, you can't work, your health is the most important."

Mu Chunhua: "Dad, I feel uncomfortable here, let's move around."

He Daqing: "Then just walk around in the yard, don't bend over."

"This is just the first time, it won't happen again. This is your first pregnancy, so be careful."

"Rainwater, what are you looking for?"

He Yushui tilted his head back: "Where's the lunch box?"

He Daqing: "Didn't I give it to you?"

"I'll go cook, you stay with your sister-in-law."

The deaf old lady said: "Chunhua, just listen to Daqing, he is right."

"Now that I know, old lady, I feel so idle that I will pay attention to this aspect in the future."

He Yuzhu accompanied Director Yang, Secretary Ma, and Li Huaide for dinner.
The factory leaders basically stayed to work the night shift, even if it was just for show.

"Hey, leaders, you three don't all need to stay in the factory, right?"

Director Yang: "Zhu Zi, I won't feel at ease if I don't watch over you!"

He Yuzhu: "I understand your feelings."

"But all three of us are here. What about tomorrow?"

"What about the day after tomorrow?"

"If it were up to me, the leaders should just take turns on duty, with one person working one night shift in the factory."

Director Yang: "Well, I think it's okay. There's no need for all three of us to be here."

"I'm the factory manager. I'm staying today."

Secretary Ma: "I am the secretary, so I will stay."

Li Huaide... Well, you all have higher positions than me, I can't compete with you.

Director Yang: "Secretary Ma, you are older, so let me, the younger generation, do it."

Secretary Ma: "Now that you've said that, I'll do it tomorrow."

Li Huaide: "In that case, I will do it the day after tomorrow."

Secretary Ma is not young anymore. If he cannot be promoted, he will remain in this position of secretary of the steel rolling mill until retirement.

So he didn't want to offend anyone, and even less wanted to compete with Director Yang for credit and profit.

A few people were toasting each other, and Lin Zhigang also came.

"Section Chief, you are so dedicated. I respect you."

Lin Zhigang: "I won't feel at ease if I don't patrol once!"

Director Yang: "How many people did you eliminate?"

Lin Zhigang: "To be honest, I think all the previous guards will be eliminated."

Secretary Ma: "Don't leave any one behind?"

Lin Zhigang: "Not only are they unqualified, some of them are not clean either."

Everyone knows that this is not clean.

Director Yang: "Then change them. The people in the security department must be innocent."

Lin Zhigang: "Director, please build a dormitory for our security department first. Where will we live when we get here?"

"For those who don't work the night shift, there must be a temporary place to rest."

"The security department must also have a formal office space, otherwise the storage of weapons will also be a problem."

Director Yang: "Build two floors for the security department first. Two floors should be enough."

Lin Zhigang said excitedly: "Thank you so much, Director Yang."

"The factory is looking for a large number of people now. With these people, our expansion progress will be much faster. How about setting up the security department near the main gate?"

Lin Zhigang: "I think it's OK."

He Yuzhu: "Sure."

"We will deploy several hundred people tomorrow, and the security department will be established within a month."

After eating and drinking, Secretary Ma and Li Huaide went home.

He Yuzhu: "Section Chief, you should also go and have a rest. I will go to the factory to show people around."

Lin Zhigang: "Okay, just take a few heads of garlic now, I'm really worried!"

He Yuzhu: "I think we should not wait any longer. Let the street office send all the people here tomorrow. These people will go directly to the workshop to work. As for whether the workshop needs these people or not, that has nothing to do with us."

"Let the people in the workshop worry about it."

Lin Zhigang laughed: "Okay, let them have a headache."

"These garlics are lazy and greedy. They are all weak and will definitely run away if they encounter danger."

He Yuzhu: "I'm going to patrol, you stay and watch the weapons, just lie over there for a while."

After the He family finished their meal, He Daqing told everyone about He Yuzhu's future duties.

Mu Chunhua: "How long will this take? You can't stay away forever."

Qin Huairu: "Shall I go and give him something?"

Xu Huizhen: "Send the luggage to him!"

He Daqing: "No need, just start these days, when all the security personnel come up, there will be a captain on duty."

"He will be back tomorrow morning."

At senior brother’s house, after Zhang Shengli came back.

"Victory, your second uncle is here today."

"what?"

"I don't have a second uncle, you mean Uncle He?"

"Yes, he wants you to work in the steel mill. He is now the canteen director. Your brother Zhuzi has also made great achievements..."

"Once you go there, you will be a formal employee and you will be assigned to be a canteen monitor. Although the salary is not as high as that of a restaurant, the hidden benefits added together are not low."

"I promised you that."

"Dad, you've already agreed, why are you still asking me?"

'I am informing you.'
"When you work in a factory, you are responsible for preparing hospitality meals. You don't need to cook in a big pot, so it's easier than working in a restaurant."

"This is a good thing. Can I not agree to it for you?"

Zhang Shengli: "Tomorrow I will tell my boss that I'm quitting."

"No need for you, I'll go and tell them for you."

After the Chen family had dinner, Chen Gensheng was also holding a family meeting.

The central idea is just one thing: Chen Xueru's dowry.

He Yuzhu is developing better and better now. Although he was an inconspicuous chef before, he has become very successful now.

If it were before, she would not even be able to look at He Yuzhu straight in the eye, let alone hand her daughter over to him.

But now we have to be cautious about it, as we have to give a generous dowry when marrying off our daughter.

A son-in-law is half a son, and Chen Gensheng is counting on this son-in-law to lend a hand when the Chen family is in trouble.

Moreover, the Chen family is not short of money, so any problem that can be solved with money is not a problem. (End of this chapter)
