The booming era begins with the director of the Propaganda Department!

Chapter 380 Middleman!!

Liu Haizhong put down the small wine cup and said, "Okay, go ahead and do it."

The second aunt was very respectful. Since Liu Haizhong became the team leader, she had set strict requirements on her and made her behave like a secretary or assistant.

Although the second aunt is old, she learns things quickly. Now when she talks to her husband, she speaks and acts like a secretary: "Hey, leave the things to me, just rest assured."

Both the Yi family and the Liu family began to take action, and the most calculating family, the Yan family, also held an impromptu family meeting.

The four siblings of the Yan family sat in a row, and the daughter-in-law Yu Li sat next to her husband Yan Jiecheng.

Opposite the five people were Yan Bugui and Aunt Yan, and the atmosphere was quite solemn.

Aunt Yan spoke first and told everyone that He Yushui and Zhang Shunsui were engaged and that they had rejected the job arranged by the neighborhood office.

"Don't underestimate He Yu, who seems to have little presence and is quiet, but she is a cunning person. She rejected the department store and the textile factory because Zhang Shenfei promised to give her a better job!!!"

Yan Bugui nodded and said, "Your mother's analysis is correct. Although Zhang Shenfei is in college now, he has accumulated a wide network of contacts in the steel mill. I heard Xu Damao mention it before. When Zhang Shenfei was Director Yang's secretary, he had a good relationship with the secretaries of the top leaders of many large factories in Beijing."

"That's right. When he got married, I saw the secretaries of the top leaders of the steel plant and the timber plant coming." Yan Jiecheng confirmed.

He used to be a temporary worker in many factories and was well-informed.

Yan Bugui sighed, "Sometimes connections are more important than money. Zhang Shenfei knows so many people, so it's not a big deal to arrange a dozen jobs for him! Think about it, our second son had no job back then, but he arranged for him to work in the steel mill with just one word, didn't he?"

He talked on and on for a long time, but Yan Jiecheng and the others were a little confused.

"So Dad, what do you mean by this?" Yu Li couldn't help but ask.

Yan Bugui glanced at her and then got to the point: "Didn't you say before that he helped your sister Yu Haitang find a job and offered a thousand yuan for it?"

Yu Li nodded: "This price is not low, but it is not high either. Broadcaster is a popular position, with high salary and easy work. But at the same time, the requirements for personal conditions are also relatively high. No matter how many people want to give money, there may not be anyone to accept it."

The announcer is the face of the Propaganda Department. He is usually responsible for reporting the news. During various sports events and evening parties, he also acts as the announcer and host.

Therefore, the recruitment of broadcasters requires not only academic qualifications but also appearance. Some ugly people are not accepted by the factory even if they rely on connections.

If Yu Haitang from their family was not good-looking, she might not be able to sign up for the exam even if she graduated from high school.

Yan Bugui smacked his lips and said, "What I mean is, have you ever thought about saving most of this money? Spending little money to accomplish something big?"

Spend little money and achieve great things? Yu Li immediately became interested.

"Dad, please tell me in detail."

Yan Bugui started to keep the secret, saying that he had already thought of the idea a long time ago, otherwise he would not have organized this family meeting so late at night.

But why should he help the Yu family for nothing? Brothers have to settle accounts clearly, not to mention that their two families are just in-laws!!!
Yu Li has been married to Yan Jiecheng for some time, and she has long realized that her husband is a swindler.

Almost as soon as Yan Bugui opened his mouth, she understood what he meant.

"Dad, don't worry, if your idea really works, my parents and my sister will definitely repay you."

Although the words sound nice, she didn't say how much she would repay. During this period of time, she had realized that the Yan family lived frugally, and such a family had never seen good things.

Once things are done, ask your parents to spend five dollars to buy a can of malted milk, which will be enough for Yan Bugui and his wife to enjoy for a month.

Eight yuan for malted milk and a thousand yuan salary, wouldn't that be a lot of money? ?
Yu Li had beautiful thoughts, but Yan Bugui had been eating sweet potatoes from Zuojiazhuang for many more years than he had, so he could see through her little thoughts with just one look at her.

He didn't answer, but just held up two fingers and said, "20%!!! I'll give you some advice, and after it's done, I'll get 200 yuan!!"

One thousand yuan and two hundred yuan, his in-laws who only have two daughters will definitely know which one is more cost-effective! !

Yu Li frowned: "Two hundred yuan is too much, Dad. You know, my mother's family is not well off... My mother is weak and has been taking medicine..."

Yan Jiecheng also looked at Yan Bugui: "Dad, we are all family, how can you be so heartless? You are really obsessed with money."

Two hundred dollars, that's not a small amount! How could his father ask for that?
"Boss, how can you talk like that? Isn't your father doing this for the family?" Aunt Yan was immediately unhappy.

How can you not know the relationship between a son and his wife or his parents?

Yan Bugui was very calm, waving his hand to signal the third aunt not to worry, and then looked at Yu Li with a smile: "It is because I know that it is not easy for my in-laws that I will give them advice and find a solution with all my heart.

Think about it, if you arrange a job now, even if it is a large group, can you afford it with 200 yuan? ? ?
Moreover, my method can kill two birds with one stone. It can not only solve Haitang’s work problem, but also benefit her in the future.”

Yan Jiecheng was standing aside in deep thought, seemingly thinking about what his father had said.

Yu Li was moved to hear that she could benefit from it...

"Well, then I'll go home tomorrow and discuss it with my parents?" No matter what, spending two hundred yuan is better than spending one thousand yuan, right?
The matter was settled. Yan Bugui happily pushed his glasses and said, "Go ahead. Go tomorrow after breakfast. By the way, bring two sweet potatoes to my in-laws. They were exchanged by the third brother in Zuojiazhuang.

The sweet potatoes from Zuojiazhuang are delicious, and the dried ones taste like chestnuts."

After putting aside Yan Bugui's endless praise of Zuojiazhuang sweet potatoes, Yu Li and Yan Jiecheng returned to their own little house.

It is called a cottage, but in fact it is just a small space separated from the kitchen, which can only accommodate a 1.35-meter bed. The couple does not even have room to turn around when they enter the house, so they have to go to bed as soon as they enter.

Yu Li was lying on the bed, feeling a little entangled: "How should I tell my parents tomorrow when I go back that your dad spent 200 yuan just to come up with an idea..."

Although it is nice to change from one thousand to two hundred, one thousand yuan is asked by outsiders, while two hundred yuan is asked by relatives, which will produce subtle changes in people's hearts.

Yu Li's eyes were dazed, immersed in her own thoughts. After a while, she realized that Yan Jiecheng had not answered, so she turned her head and looked at him curiously: "Why don't you say anything?"

Could it be that he felt ashamed and embarrassed that his father asked his in-laws for money? ?
Yan Jiecheng looked at her, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.

"If you have something to say, just say it. I just can't stand your sissy look."

"Well, then I'll tell you. Don't be angry when I tell you." Yan Jiecheng hesitated, and when Yu Li nodded, he said, "Actually, I think our running around in this matter should not be in vain..."

"Well, why don't you tell your parents tomorrow that dad wants 300? That way, when we come back, we can have 100 of our own..."

He didn't want the money at first, and just now he even helped Yu Li criticize his father for not loving money so much.

But later, after hearing his father's analysis, I suddenly felt that it actually made sense.

He couldn't help but sigh that the old ones are still the best, and when it comes to scheming, it has to be his father Yan Bugui. After sighing, he began to think about how he could get some benefits from this matter.

Huh? ? Three hundred? ? Yu Li's eyes widened and her mouth opened slightly. She seemed to have not expected him to say that and did not react for a moment.

Yan Jiecheng felt a little embarrassed, but he counted on his fingers and analyzed with Yu Li: "We have been running back and forth, looking for Zhang Shenfei and going back to your house. Isn't this all a time cost?"

Fearing that Yu Li would not do it, he hurriedly said, "I want the money for our little family. Look at the house we live in. Where is there any place to step? The ant hole is bigger than this house. Do you want to live here even after you have a child?"

Yu Li was moved and touched her belly. Although she was not pregnant, she would have a baby sooner or later. Who would want to have their child born in a place that is not even as big as an ant hole? ? ?
Although the government explicitly prohibits real estate transactions, as long as you have money, you can always find a way.

just,

"One hundred dollars isn't enough to buy a house, right?" She frowned. "I heard that it costs at least three hundred dollars to buy a house."

After they got married, the couple had to pay for living expenses, accommodation, and food expenses for their family, and they had no savings at all.

Yan Jiecheng seemed to have thought a lot during the time he was stunned just now. He told Yu Li that the money to buy a house was definitely not enough.

But with this money, the two of them can rent a house and buy some kitchen utensils.

"In the future, we will live in a room of our own and buy a stove to cook under the eaves. This way, we won't have to pay for food, living expenses, and accommodation at home, and we can save a lot of money every month.

Besides, the house we rent is definitely bigger than the ant hole we have now. I have already picked out the empty room at the back of our yard, which is a full 15 square meters... Let's rent it, and when we have a child, we can hang a curtain in the middle of the room..."

Yan Jiecheng described the wonderful life in the future.

That back room? ? It’s really not small…

A glimmer of longing also appeared in Yu Li's eyes. Her parents' home was a small house, a 12-square-meter room where her parents and her two sisters lived. She and her sister had been sleeping on bunk beds since they were young.

After getting married, she lived in an ant hole again, and she really wanted to live in a big house of 15 square meters.

These days, housing is so tight in Beijing, a family of three lives in 15 square meters, that means 5 square meters per person!!!
Seeing that he had convinced his daughter-in-law, Yan Jiecheng struck while the iron was hot. He hugged Yu Li and began to teach her how to tell her parents when she returned to her parents' home.

Yu Li was doing this for the first time and was a little nervous: "But, if your dad meets my parents...will he expose everything?"

If the parents of both sides find out that they are making a profit from the price difference, how will they live their lives in the future?

Yan Jiecheng waved his hands and said, "As long as the money is in hand, what can they do if they find out? Scold them, beat them up? But everything has a cost. Beating them up in exchange for a hundred dollars is worth it!!
I won’t beat you anymore. When you get beaten, you can hide behind me and I will protect you.”

"Jie Cheng!" Yu Li was very touched, "You are so manly!!!"

"Lily."

The two hugged each other, and the 1.35-meter hard bed creaked.

In the silent night, every movement is magnified.

In the Yan family's large bedroom, one could clearly hear Yan Jiefang tossing and turning in frustration.

Aunt Yan knocked on the bedside pillar in dissatisfaction: "Second brother, why don't you sleep well? Where are the pancakes?"

"It's okay! Don't bother me!!" Yan Jiefang said in a rough voice.

"Mom, there's a creaking noise in my eldest brother and sister-in-law's room. How can they sleep?!" Yan Jiekuang on the side suddenly spoke up.

Aunt Yan was surprised at his precocity, but there was nothing she could do: "Why can't you sleep? Can't you plug your ears with straw paper?"

She knew it was inappropriate for a young man to hear such noise, but that was the situation at home.

We can't stop the eldest son from having a baby just because of this, right? Besides, the eldest son and his wife have been very restrained and don't make any noises. And based on past experience, the bed only creaks for two or three minutes.

Well, in the final analysis, it’s all because of poverty!!

"Wait a little longer, your brother will be here soon..." Aunt Yan realized that she had said something wrong and tried to make amends, "Oh no... I mean... forget it, go to sleep, stop talking nonsense."

Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiekuang understood and nodded. Although the noise was a bit loud, it was indeed just a matter of two or three times...

But for some reason, Yan Jiecheng was exceptionally brave today and didn't stop for several minutes.

Seeing that his parents didn't care, Yan Jiekuang got out of bed in the dark, mumbling, tore off a piece of straw paper, crumpled it up, stuffed it into his ears, climbed into bed and went to sleep.

Yan Jiefang could no longer bear it: "If you as parents don't care, I will handle it myself! Don't complain when the time comes!!"

After saying that, he covered his head with the quilt and went to sleep.

Aunt Yan pulled her husband with some concern, and Yan Bugui signaled her to stay calm.

Early the next morning,
Sha Zhu was washing his face at the faucet with a military green toothbrush cup in his hand when he saw Xu Damao approaching him with a look of urgency:

"Nephew, that's not how you brush your teeth. You have to brush them in circles to get them clean."

Sha Zhu looked at Bang Geng on the left, then at the aunt on the right with foam at the mouth, tilted his head to think for a while, turned his head to look at Xu Damao, and cursed with foam at the mouth: "Xu Damao, you bastard, who the hell are you calling nephew?"

Xu Damao wiped the toothpaste foam off his face and said, "Silly Zhu, you bastard, your sister married my brother Dafei. You are one generation lower than us, you know that?
I declare that from today on, you are kicked out of our Siheyuan Five Little Gentlemen! You should form another group with Banggeng, Qin Laoer, Zhang Laosi and the others. "

As he was talking, he saw Qin Huairu carrying a basin of dirty clothes out of the Jia family's gate, and the smirk on his face deepened a little: "Oh, by the way, you are of the same generation as Banggeng, so you can no longer call Qin Huairu Sister Qin, you have to call her Aunt Qin!!!"

Qin, Aunt Qin... Sha Zhu was so angry that his eyes turned red and he punched Xu Damao in the left eye socket.

"Oh my god...Shazhu, you can't afford to play games, right? You hit people when you can't win the argument?" Xu Damao covered his eyes and hid behind Guan Hongguo.

But Sha Zhu refused to give in, he was holding a grudge.

Qin Huairu married into the Siheyuan at the age of 18, and it has been exactly ten years now. During these ten years, we will not mention the time when Jia Dongxu was alive.

After Jia Dongxu died, he helped Qin Huairu a lot, and he almost gave her his heart.

What’s the result?? !!
