Siheyuan: Rebirth of a comfortable life starts with Shazhu

In fact, He Yuzhu was not entirely unprepared.

He was preparing, waiting for the moment when reform and opening up were implemented.

They then turned the projects they had selected into school-run enterprises.

Just like that remote-controlled roller shutter door...

It would be best if we could successfully collaborate with various universities on industry-academia-research projects.

Even if it doesn't succeed, we still need to show those schools the practical application of technology in turning it into economic benefits.

In this way, each school will focus on its own research and development and on research and development talent.

He Yuzhu was also certain that there must be managers who appeared aloof but were actually foolish.

They always think about seniority and hierarchy.

They don't value talent.

This kind of thing happens in every year.

This isn't just a domestic phenomenon.

In the course of social development, the power of an individual is mostly insignificant.

He Yuzhu's ability to serve as a model for other schools is already the limit of his capabilities.

He himself felt he wasn't qualified to be the industry leader.

Old Ai pondered for a moment before nodding and saying, "Alright, I'll give it a try. At worst, it'll be my old bones fighting them."

"I can't argue, so let your Aunt Wang argue with me."

Comrade Lao Ai pretended to be relaxed, but he could sense the pressure He Yuzhu was under.

In fact, he knew very well what He Yuzhu was worried about.

This young man was someone the couple had watched grow up.

He Yuzhu has many flaws, including in his personal relationships; he's openly dealing with that woman from Hong Kong.

This is also the point that his superiors are most dissatisfied with.

If it weren't for the fact that all the financial expenses of the CNC Institute are now sponsored by Lou Xiao'e.

Lou Xiao'e did indeed play a certain role in the reform and opening-up process.

Information is not readily available in society today.

Otherwise, given He Yuzhu's situation, he would have been dismissed by his superiors long ago.

But that's something that will happen sooner or later.

It's a pity about Lao Ai and He Yuzhu.

The elderly couple had tried to persuade He Yuzhu, and even his wife, Lao Wang, suggested trying to talk to Liu Ting and get her to back out for He Yuzhu's sake.

That time, Director Wang was scolded by Lao Ai.

He understands He Yuzhu far better than his wife does.

Sacrificing personal interests for the collective, even at the cost of one's own feelings, is a choice that others might consider.

But what if this kind of thing happened to He Yuzhu?

Whoever brings up this matter, He Yuzhu will consider them a mortal enemy, the kind of enemy with whom he will never reconcile.

Old Ai stood up and looked at He Yuzhu's slightly tired expression.

Unable to resist asking softly, "Zhu Zi, what are you going to do in the future?"

"Huh?" He Yuzhu was caught off guard by the question.

"You, Liu Ting, what are you planning to do about things in Hong Kong?" Old Ai asked through gritted teeth, uttering his concerns word by word.

He Yuzhu smiled bitterly and shook his head repeatedly, saying, "Once the school becomes a regular institution, I plan to ask my superiors to let me withdraw."

If my superiors allow it in the future, I will continue to do some consulting and research work.

If my superiors don't allow it, I'll go home and take care of my child.

When that time comes, I'll go fishing every day and chat with those old men in the park.

"Let me show you how retirement should be, you'll be so envious!"

He Yuzhu spoke with nonchalance, but to Lao Ai, it was filled with heartache.

There was nothing that could be done about it. Once society opened up, Lou Xiao'e frequently appeared in public on the mainland.

Then He Yuzhu is not suitable to stay in a key position.

Otherwise, if the media were to expose it, it would be a major workplace scandal.

He Yuzhu was quite aware of this.

He even calculated the timing.

He can probably stay in this position for another three or four years.

This is under the condition that Lou Xiao'e can control the Hong Kong media.

Once reform and opening up begin, one of him and Lou Xiao'e will inevitably disappear from the public eye.

He Yuzhu's answer to Lao Ai was to sacrifice himself.

He Yuzhu's current fatigue is actually because he feels that his time is running out and he is trying his best to complete some plans.

Therefore, he often pushes things forward even when the time is not right.

"Oh, you!"
"He's just too sentimental." Old Ai rarely spoke to He Yuzhu about his true feelings towards him.

"Hehe... Uncle, I'm not a coward in this life."

I've done my ancestors a favor by getting to where I am today, starting from being a humble cook.

Even today!
"I just want to stay close to a few people I care about and live a good life." He Yuzhu rarely spoke his true thoughts to this elder who genuinely cared about him.

Even though Lou Xiao'e came back this time, she hesitated to speak and didn't confront him directly.

But He Yuzhu knew that the silly woman really had something to say to him.

He Yuzhu also knew what Lou Xiao'e wanted to say to him.

He Yuzhu couldn't offer Lou Xiao'e any guarantees regarding family influence.

But in terms of social impact, he definitely has to give that stupid woman an explanation.

This is the responsibility a man should have.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, nearly thirty years have passed since He Yuzhu's rebirth.

It should be said that although he didn't achieve much in his life, he didn't lose out.

At least that's what he himself thinks.

After Lao Ai left, a beautiful young woman secretly slipped into He Yuzhu's office.

He Yuzhu knew who it was, but he pretended to be serious, writing and drawing on the table with his pen without looking up at the other person.

He Yuan walked up behind He Yuzhu, wrapped her arms around his neck across the back of the chair, and said in a coquettish tone, "Dad, what are you doing?"

He Yuzhu held a pen and pointed to what he had just drawn.

He Yuan looked down and burst out laughing.

But He Yuzhu spent a lot of time drawing two pig heads, one big and one small.

The pig heads were labeled with names: one was He Yuan, and the other was Liu Ting.

"I'm going home to tell my mom that you called her a pig's head," He Yuan whispered in He Yuzhu's ear.

He Yuzhu's ears were itching from all the noise.

He Yuzhu shook his shoulders, meaning to tell He Yuan to be more serious.

But He Yuan remained unmoved.

Helpless, He Yuzhu could only say irritably, "How dare you say that? When your mother was scolding me, you didn't even come downstairs to smooth things over for me."

"Hehehe..." He Yuan stuck out her tongue and said in a charmingly innocent way, "I don't want to get myself into trouble."

Dad, I have a question for you.
"My mom's been so angry lately, does she know about you and Aunt Lou?"

Liu Ting has been in a really bad mood at home lately, and she talks to everyone as if she's on fire.

He Yuan and Xiao Lao Si both avoided her.

But He Yuan was a grown woman after all, and she knew about He Yuzhu and Lou Xiao'e's affair, so she had her own speculations about her mother's emotional changes.

He Yuzhu patted He Yuan's arm with his other hand, hesitated for a moment, and said softly, "Don't worry, your mother will be fine."

"We will continue to have a good relationship." (End of Chapter)
