Siheyuan: Rebirth of a comfortable life starts with Shazhu

Old Lu was genuinely worried that He Yuzhu might be bluffing in the investigation report.

He Yuzhu picked up a stack of stapled manuscripts and said, "Originally, I only intended to hand in this one."

"I'll let it slide this time, out of respect for you."

After he finished speaking, he tapped his fingers on the stack below.

Both of these documents were written by He Yuzhu while he was in Beijing.

The above section, as mentioned earlier, mainly points out some problems that will inevitably arise after the reform and opening up.

But you don't offend anyone.

Even if it mentions some problems that local clans might face after the reform and opening up, it would only offend a few individuals.

But the next stack contains some truly remarkable things.

It contains all the problems that might occur in the workplace after the reform and opening up in my previous life.

Nature offered his solution.

For example, an integrated government affairs office center.

In later generations, people may have gotten used to it and no longer think it's a big deal.

But for He Yuzhu at this time and in this position, that was the most important innovation we had since the reform and opening up.

It can be said that its emergence has greatly improved the efficiency of our collective work.

Otherwise, just try the efficiency of government services in some small towns and large southern cities and you'll know.

The same task can be resolved in half an hour, or it can take you half a year to complete.

If He Yuzhu brings this up now, the higher-ups might still think it's unimportant.

But after a period of reform and opening up, the higher authorities will realize the benefits of this proposal.

He Yuzhu also wrote a lot about other points that should serve as a warning.

Putting everything else aside, if He Yuzhu's investigation report is submitted and the higher-ups take it seriously, those who try to exploit loopholes will probably hate him to the core.

He Yuzhu didn't really value the position of principal.

He wanted that position because he thought it would be easier to do certain things with it.

However, the higher-ups have taken this into consideration and are not planning to appoint someone to take over his position, but are simply allowing him to recuperate for a period of time.

Xiao Qian and Lao Chen continued to run the school, and it was no different from before.

If the higher-ups really want to take action against He Yuzhu, they should at least bring back that Party Secretary to oversee things.

Therefore, He Yuzhu is quite satisfied with the result.

It's like parents disciplining their children; the slaps are loud, but they don't hurt.

He Yuzhu appeared at the Canton Fair the next day.

The first place he went to was the exhibition hall for the BK-1 CNC milling machine, which was the one that Lao Chen had been keeping an eye on.

He Yuzhu ignored the specifics of the work and instead pulled Lao Chen aside to a secluded spot, asking, "Lao Chen, do you understand now?"

Old Chen looked at He Yuzhu with a complicated expression. In his eyes, He Yuzhu was now in a position with a promising future.

He can delve deeply into academia, or he can move to local government.

They were in their prime, full of energy.

Old Chen really couldn't understand why He Yuzhu would do something so foolish as to ruin his future.

"Sigh... Principal, don't worry, I will take good care of our school." Chen Yong didn't offer any words of comfort or empty promises to He Yuzhu, but simply made his assurance to him.

That's something he can do.

He Yuzhu nodded, and seeing that Chen Yong was in low spirits, he decided to be frank: "Old Chen, don't be discouraged."

Actually, the work at the school has always been what you've been doing.

I was just a figurehead there.

My original plan was to stay in this position for another three or four years, and then you would take over.

It's just happening earlier than expected.

As long as you continue to focus on scientific research, I will support you as always.

Nothing else has changed.

"Our business is still going on, so there's no problem." Chen Yong nodded firmly.

When He Yuzhu met Xinghua, the boy's eyes reddened as soon as he saw He Yuzhu.

Upon arriving at his residence, He Xinghua knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly to He Yuzhu.

The commotion startled He Yuzhu, who quickly went to help him up.

"Son, what's wrong? Who bullied you?" He Yuzhu hugged the handsome boy and asked.

He Xinghua shook his head, still with snot and tears streaming down his face.

He sobbed as he said, "I heard, I heard, that your visit to my mother has had a very bad impact on you."

Father, it was my stubbornness that ruined you.

This child is also a sentimental person; no amount of coaxing can stop him from crying.

This left He Yuzhu both amused and exasperated.

You might think this kid is small, but he's taller than me now.

The projects I'm currently working on are starting at the level of tens of millions of US dollars.

But this young prodigy completely lost his composure when he cried in front of He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu then noticed the difference between He Xinghua and He Ping.

He Xinghua is more emotional.

He Ping, presumably due to his study of Go and the cultivation of his mind and body from a young age, rarely showed his emotions.

That cold face, aside from being handsome, somewhat resembled his grandfather's dead fish face.

"It's okay, it's okay, a real man shouldn't cry!" He Yuzhu tried to comfort his eldest son, feeling helpless.

This is even more embarrassing than coaxing a little girl.

"Dad, did this have a big impact on you?" Fortunately, He Xinghua also felt that crying was inappropriate, but he forced himself to stop crying and asked He Yuzhu with concern.

He Yuzhu nodded and then shook his head, which made He Xinghua's expression darken.

As a father, He Yuzhu definitely needs to help He Xinghua resolve his inner conflicts.

He patted He Xinghua hard on both shoulders.

But he asked, "Xinghua, do you know what a man's shoulders are for carrying?"

The innocent child shook his head, bewildered.

Tan Yali and Lou Xiao'e must have taught him to be responsible and accountable since he was a child, but they would never have spoken to him so directly, as if they were having a casual chat, like He Yuzhu did.

Instead, we should provide frequent guidance during the process of him doing things.

Tell him what to do and how to do it.

Both educational approaches have their own advantages.

But He Xinghua never had a father to educate him.

Therefore, he paid more attention to He Yuzhu's teaching.

He Yuzhu patted each of his shoulders again before saying seriously, "There are many interpretations of this. One interpretation is that it represents carrying on both sides of the shoulders, with family on one side and career on the other."

Another perspective is that it's about family on one side and social responsibility on the other.

····
Or, to put it another way, it's about family on one side and country on the other.

···
Both statements are correct.

What a person is in and what they can do depends not only on their own efforts but also on the arrangements of fate.

Like you now, your job is to smoothly take over our family business from your mother and then carry it forward.

If you make money in business, you should know how to give back to society.

When faced with matters of great importance, we must uphold the nation.

····
But you must remember that on the other side of your shoulders, there is always the burden of your family.

This is something that can never be abandoned.

This can be considered a lesson He Yuzhu taught his son. (End of this chapter)
