The Courtyard House: He Yuzhu, Who Defied Fate

After all, it's our own factory, and we can't do without these technicians.

Moreover, skilled workers are extremely scarce; if you offend them, you'll become the factory's culprit.

Others can simply pack up and have countless factories come to them, while a leader like myself can be replaced by superiors at any time.

After all, there are many leaders, but relatively few technical personnel.

Therefore, Factory Director Yang quickly took remedial action:

"No problem, no problem. I was referring to Comrade Li Xinmin. I only found out about this later; I didn't know about Engineer He's matter."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I don't know Engineer He's technical skill level?"

Li Xinmin said;

"I don't know now, but I was a level four engineer before? I don't know if he's been promoted since?"

Although Song Ziyu didn't understand the matter, she didn't want her adopted son to be exposed.

"A while ago, Zhu Zi was rated as a first-class engineer and was promoted to bureau chief."

Li Xinmin and Factory Director Yang were taken aback; they hadn't heard of it.

Li Xinmin asked curiously:

"What game?"

He Yuzhu interrupted Song Ziyu:

"Aunt Song, let's not talk about this anymore, and let's not talk about it again. My workplace keeps this confidential, and I can't tell anyone."

I forgot to tell you yesterday!

Upon hearing He Yuzhu's words, Song Ziyu remained silent and did not speak.

Upon hearing He Yuzhu's words, both Factory Director Yang and Li Xinmin wisely refrained from asking any further questions.

Factory Director Yang said:

"Deputy Factory Director Li, you're in charge of personnel, so this matter is your responsibility."

You must make proper arrangements for Comrade Song Ziyu's onboarding!

When Li Xinmin heard what Director Yang said, he almost couldn't help but curse. This was using him to gain favor with He Yuzhu.

However, Li Xinmin had no way to refute it, since the other party was the top leader.

There's only one factory director, but several deputy directors. If I were to break ties now, I'd probably end up with nothing.

Therefore, Li Xinmin also said:

"Alright, Director Yang, I'll take Comrade He Yuzhu to complete the formalities first!"

Factory Director Yang nodded:

"Okay, go ahead. After you're done, have Chief Engineer He stay for a meal!"

Upon hearing Director Yang's words, Li Xinmin was stunned. "Damn it, the personnel and logistics departments I manage."

Is this some kind of self-sabotage? Do you think I don't know what's going on in the kitchen?

Have a meal?

What food do you have?

Meals served at banquets usually include meat, but the kitchen now has some staple foods, like rice and wheat flour.

Although we can't make this for the workers, we can still treat them to something nice.

But the food would be ruined.

There wasn't much meat or vegetables in the kitchen, though there were a few cabbages.

But how could I possibly serve as a host?

Looking at Li Xinmin's expression, He Yuzhu knew what Li Xinmin was thinking. He didn't know the current situation.

He just didn't know, He Daqing had told him that if they really ate here, although Li Xinmin would lose face, he himself wouldn't be able to eat well either.

He Yuzhu said with a smile:

"I don't need to eat. I have some things to do at work. My dad works here."

My father is He Daqing, this is my stepmother, and this is my younger sister. She's getting old and doesn't have much to do at home.

The last time I visited the steel rolling mill was three or four years ago, when I happened to help the mill with a small favor.

"Factory Manager Wang gave us two spots, so I'm coming to try them out today. I'll have to trouble both factory managers with my stepmother's matter!"

Song Ziyu was deeply moved by He Yuzhu's words.

After all these years, He Yuzhu has never called her "Mom," but this time, in order to support her, he actually said that she was his mother.

Song Ziyu made a vow in her heart that she would definitely treat He Daqing and He Yuqing well.

At this moment, Li Xinmin realized why He Yuzhu had come; it turned out that she was the legendary young wife of He Daqing.

She is indeed beautiful, but considering her relationship with He Daqing and He Yuzhu...

Li Xinmin quickly suppressed his thoughts, knowing that if He Daqing found out about his affairs, he could forget about He Daqing hosting him meals in the future.

This would push He Daqing into Director Yang's arms. Now He Daqing is neutral and doesn't take sides.

But no matter which leader comes, as long as you have the ingredients, I'll cook for you.

Moreover, they all cooked well, which made Li Xinmin very satisfied. Despite He Yuzhu's great achievements, He Daqing was very good at dealing with people.

Although he is the head of the cafeteria, he never refuses to do things for himself.

Moreover, if He Yuzhu found out that he was going to make a move on someone's stepmother, then he would be finished.

It's worth noting that Li Xinmin had met He Yuzhu when he first rose to prominence; He Yuzhu was seen chatting and laughing with bigwigs from the Ministry of Industry.

Although he thought his father-in-law was formidable, he couldn't bring himself to approach He Yuzhu and talk to him.

Therefore, Li Xinmin was aware of He Yuzhu's influence, and at that time He Yuzhu was only a level four engineer.

If Li Xinmin finds out that He Yuzhu is now talking to the teacher and the housekeeper, who knows what will happen.

Of course, He Yuzhu wouldn't say this.

After all, this is my own business, and talking about it now will only make others envious.

These things will become He Yuzhu's shield a few years later.

Li Xinmin took He Yuzhu, Song Ziyu, and He Yuqing to arrange a job for Song Ziyu.

After joining the company, Li Xinmin personally took Song Ziyu and the other two to arrange for He Yuqing to be placed in the nursery at the steel rolling mill.

Everything was done, and Li Xinmin was about to bring Song Ziyu to work.

He Yuzhu knew that Lin Xinmin meant well, but if Li Xinmin went like that, Song Ziyu would be isolated.

After all, everyone got in based on their own abilities. Why should you get in because of your connections? Although no one will cause trouble for Song Ziyu.

But I won't get too close to Song Ziyu, otherwise the job will lose its meaning.

Therefore, He Yuzhu said:

"It's alright. I'm just bored at home, so I'm here to do my part. Let him go to work!"

Upon hearing He Yuzhu's words, Li Xinmin immediately understood that this person was there to slack off, not to get promoted or make a fortune.

That makes things much easier. With such a large steel rolling mill, keeping an idle person is a piece of cake.

Thinking of this, Li Xinmin smiled and said:

"Okay, okay, I understand. Just come over if you need anything. Also, there's that matter with Yi Zhonghai."

I didn't expect Director Yang to intervene. I, 840, was helpless. I don't know who leaked the information that I was going to arrange for Yi Zhonghai to go and assist in the reconstruction.

When Yi Zhonghai found out, he personally went to see Director Yang. I don't know what their relationship was.

Despite strong opposition, Factory Director Yang removed Yi Zhonghai from the list of candidates!

He Yuzhu nodded:

"It's alright, it doesn't matter whether I go or not. It's just that Yi Zhonghai schemed against me. I originally wanted to avoid seeing him and send him away so I wouldn't have to worry about him."

Since we didn't go out, it doesn't matter!

Hearing He Yuzhu's words, Li Xinmin nodded:

"Don't worry, I definitely won't let him have an easy time at the steel rolling mill!"

He Yuzhu ignored this and then said:

"Alright, that's about it. I'll be going now. I have some work to do at my office today."

Li Xinmin nodded, and then he and He Yuzhu were about to leave, while Director Yang learned of He Yuzhu's identity.

A bureau chief—what kind of bureau chief, we don't know, but it needs to be kept secret—that's where the real power lies.

Secondly, there are first-level engineers, who are known as chief engineers in the outside world.

Neither of these identities is one I can afford to offend; this whole mess was caused by Li Xinmin digging a hole for me.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have said that. If I had cooperated properly, He Yuzhu would have been on good terms with me.
