The Courtyard House: He Yuzhu, Who Defied Fate

Yang Zhili and Hu Shuzhi of the Yang family knew that He Daqing had come to discuss their daughter's marriage.

I put everything aside and stayed home.

Both families enjoyed themselves immensely and got along very well, thus finalizing the marriage arrangements for the two individuals.

Things are different now than before; nowadays, simplicity is key.

After discussing it, everyone decided to hold the wedding at Hongbinlou Restaurant.

As for the matter of going to Hongbinlou for dinner, He Yuzhu went to make the arrangements.

Although Hongbinlou is now a joint public-private enterprise, the private manager is still Manager Gu.

He Yuzhu rode his bicycle to Hongbinlou and saw Manager Gu.

Manager Gu saw He Yuzhu and said to him:

"Zhu Zi, I'm sorry, but after this public-private partnership, it's no longer up to me to decide."

I tried to persuade them, but the company manager just wouldn't agree.

Moreover, chefs are now graded, and their salaries are fixed.

Many chefs are complaining now, but you were right to have the foresight to go to university!

He Yuzhu smiled slightly:

"Manager Gu, you've taken such good care of me all these years."

Besides, don't you know my cooking skills? You'll never go hungry, no matter where you go!

Manager Gu nodded in agreement after hearing He Yuzhu's words.

"I know your skills, what a pity! Sigh!"

Manager Gu fell silent, and He Yuzhu offered words of comfort;

"Okay, that's enough. By the way, I'm getting married soon, and I came here to discuss my wedding banquet with you."

I'd like to hold it at Hongbinlou Restaurant, is that alright? If it's difficult, I'll think of another way!

Manager Gu said with delight:

"Great! It's been years since we last met. You're getting married soon, and you're having your wedding here?"

"Sure, no problem. Leave this to me. Even though I'm just the private sector manager, I still have some influence!" (Thumbs up)

Chapter 104: The Wedding in Progress

He Yuzhu said:

"Okay, then I'll have my friends come here for my wedding banquet!"

Manager Gu said:

"Okay, leave this to me, I have no problem."

"Oh, by the way, why don't you go and talk to your master? You haven't seen him in ages, have you?"

He Yuzhu nodded:

"Yes, it's been a long time since I've seen my master. I only saw him during the Chinese New Year."

I'm going to see my master and mistress!

Manager Gu waved his hand:

"Okay, go ahead. We can talk later!"

He Yuzhu nodded:

"Okay, then I'll leave first!"

After saying that, He Yuzhu went to the kitchen to find Tian Zehua. Tian Zehua had just finished his work and was very happy to see He Yuzhu.

"Zhu Zi, what brings you here today?"

He Yuzhu said to Tian Zehua:

"Master, I'm here to organize my wedding banquet. Manager Gu has agreed to let me host my wedding banquet here!"

Tian Zehua asked happily:

"A wedding banquet? Are you getting married?"

He Yuzhu nodded:

"Yes, I got my marriage certificate yesterday. I graduated from university and have been assigned a job."

Confidential unit, Level 5 engineer, salary no less than 170.

How was it? Not bad, right?

Seeing He Yuzhu smugly showing off in front of him, Tian Zehua felt very gratified:

"Wow, it's a good thing you went to university back then, otherwise things would be like this now."

If you hadn't gone to university back then, you'd be doing the same job as me now, working as a first-class cook.

My monthly salary is 89.5 yuan, plus subsidies, so the total salary is 99.5 yuan.

I go out five times a month to cook some home-style dishes, and I earn about a hundred yuan a month.

Ugh, things are so unfriendly to chefs these days!

He Yuzhu said:

"Master, things will definitely get better in the future!"

Tian Zehua said:

"It's nothing, I was just thinking and talking about it, otherwise I wouldn't have brought this up with you."

Okay, let's not talk about that anymore. Is your marriage partner Chen Xueru or Yang Xiaodi?

He Yuzhu touched his nose:

"Yang Xiaodi!"

After hearing this, Tian Zehua asked meaningfully:

"What about that girl, Chen Xueru?"

He Yuzhu smiled but didn't say anything. Tian Zehua looked at He Yuzhu and knew what was going on.

It's important to know that Tian Zehua has been in contact with many people, including many high-ranking officials who keep mistresses outside the home.

Therefore, He Yuzhu's choice is not surprising at all. Many people say that the current era emphasizes monogamy.

But regardless of the era, there have always been people with multiple wives and concubines; it's just that in the past it was done openly, while now it's done secretly.

But this is something the country doesn't allow. If no one reports it, everything is fine. But if someone reports it, then I'm sorry...

Tian Zehua said to He Yuzhu:

"Since she's not in a hurry to get a title and is following you, you'd better treat her well from now on!"

He Yuzhu nodded:

"Yes, Master, don't worry, there won't be any problems!"

Tian Zehua said to He Yuzhu:

"Okay, since you understand, don't worry, I'll be your head chef for your wedding."

Although my cooking skills aren't as good as yours, I'm still considered one of the best in Beijing!

He Yuzhu:

"Master, that won't do! You're my master, you should sit at the main table!"

Tian Zehua shook his head:

"Your wedding is such a big event, and all you do at the table is eat and drink. I don't even know how many times I've eaten the food you've cooked."

"This time, just listen to me. I'll be the head chef. If you really feel bad about it, you can cook for me and sit at a table afterward!"

He Yuzhu knew that his master wouldn't listen to anything he said, so he could only nod.

"Okay, Master, then I'll leave it to you!"

Tian Zehua said:

"Don't worry about the trouble. Alright, go and discuss the wedding arrangements with Manager Gu. I won't entertain you here."

"It's all agreed upon. Manager Gu will talk to me about it later!"

He Yuzhu nodded:

"Okay, I'll go ask!"

He Yuzhu arrived at Manager Gu's office, and Manager Gu saw He Yuzhu coming.

Then he asked He Yuzhu:

"You arrived so quickly? Why didn't you chat with your master for a while longer?"
