The Courtyard House: He Yuzhu, Who Defied Fate

Page 261

But I never expected to be tricked by Li Xinmin.

However, he is now trying to make amends, since Li Xinmin, relying on his father-in-law's influence, doesn't take him seriously at all in the steel rolling mill.

However, they treated He Yuzhu with utmost respect, indicating that He Yuzhu's status and position were even higher than his father-in-law's.

Moreover, the recent high-profile airplane incident was orchestrated by He Yuzhu.

Factory Director Yang naturally wouldn't ignore He Yuzhu. When he saw He Yuzhu come out, Factory Director Yang greeted him with a smile:

"Chief Engineer He, are you done? Why don't you come to my office for a chat and some tea?"

He Yuzhu said with a smile:

"Director Yang, it's all settled. From now on, please be lenient with my father and stepmother at the steel rolling mill."

As for tea, let's skip it today. Next time, I'll definitely have more time to communicate with Director Yang.

"Not today, I have other things to do at work today, I can't be busy!"

Upon hearing He Yuzhu's words, Factory Director Yang nodded:

"Okay, we should definitely get together sometime!"

He Yuzhu nodded:

"Okay, it's settled then. By the way, Director Li, I'd like to trouble you with the onboarding process today."

I'll be going now!

Chapter 180: Learning Antique Appraisal

Li Xinmin quickly said:

"No trouble at all, it's my job. Let me see you off!"

Upon hearing Li Xinmin's words, He Yuzhu quickly replied:

"No need, I drove here, so there's no need to see me off. It's fine!"

Upon hearing He Yuzhu's words, Li Xinmin began to look at He Yuzhu's car, which He Yuzhu himself had manufactured.

It's very classy and impressive; you have to know that Li Xinmin doesn't even have the right to own his own car right now.

He Yuzhu commutes to and from get off work by bicycle, yet he owns his own car. Li Xinmin already knew about He Yuzhu's background and family.

I never expected He Yuzhu to be so amazing.

He Yuzhu drove off. After watching He Yuzhu leave, Director Yang was very curious about He Yuzhu's situation.

However, since Li Xinmin has already tricked me, if I ask Li Xinmin about it, I might get tricked again.

Since He Yuzhu became famous at the steel rolling mill a few years ago, we can just ask around.

Li Xinmin knew that Director Yang would definitely inquire about He Yuzhu.

Moreover, it was easy to find out about He Yuzhu's affairs.

People may not know what's happening now, but they can easily find out about things from the past.

So Li Xinmin said to Director Yang:

"Director Yang, you also want to know who this He Yuzhu is, right?"

Although Director Yang had Li Xinmin on his side, he couldn't keep this a secret from him, so he nodded.

Li Xinmin said:

"You know He Daqing from our factory, right?"

Factory Director Yang nodded:

"I know that!"

Li Xinmin said:

"He Yuzhu is He Daqing's son. In 1950, He Daqing was framed and sent to Baocheng."

He abandoned He Yuzhu and his sister He Yu, and the two depended on each other for survival. At that time, He Yuzhu was an apprentice at Hongbinlou Restaurant.

However, He Yuzhu is a genius. In just a few years, he became a master chef.

I earned over 20 million a month back then, before the currency reform; it was still the first set of currencies.

Based on current wages, that's about two thousand yuan a month, isn't that amazing?

However, He Yuzhu was not satisfied with this and instead took the college entrance examination in 1952.

He was admitted to Tsinghua University.

After graduation, you became a Level 4 engineer. At that time, you hadn't come to the steel rolling mill yet. Director Wang was working on this public-private partnership project.

Having learned of He Yuzhu's talent, we invited him to our steel rolling mill, but He Yuzhu declined, saying that he had been assigned a job by the state.

Then He Yuzhu went to that classified unit.

However, before he started working, Director Wang invited He Yuzhu to the factory to repair all the previous machines.

However, our country later switched to the current machine tools. In the past, we had machine tools from all over the world.

Now, everything is produced in our own country.

As for what happened after that, I have no idea.

Oh, right, there's one more thing. I don't know if it's true or not; it's just what other people said.

That's Yi Zhonghai, the one you protected. He's one of the people who plotted to get He Daqing to leave the capital and go to Baocheng. There's also some deaf guy, or something like that.

There was an old lady in their compound, I forgot her name.

The two of them gave He Daqing a plan and left, but He Yuzhu found out about it himself.

However, Yi Zhonghai went even further. After He Daqing left, he was unaware that his own affairs were orchestrated by Yi Zhonghai.

They would send living expenses back to He Yuzhu and He Yu every month, but Yi Zhonghai withheld the money.

They didn't give it to He Yuzhu. Fortunately, although He Yuzhu was only fifteen years old at the time, he successfully got through that difficult period under the care of the owner of Hongbinlou and his master, Tian Zehua.

That's about all I know. As for the rest, you'll have to find out for yourself!

Li Xinmin is setting another trap for Factory Director Yang.

This is all information that everyone knows. If Director Yang were to inquire about things that shouldn't be known, the government would definitely consider him a spy or an enemy agent.

However, this was a trap that Li Xinmin dug on a whim, and whether Director Yang went in or not was none of Li Xinmin's business.

He Yuzhu was unaware that the two factory directors had already begun to scheme against each other.

But this had nothing to do with He Yuzhu, who drove home.

As soon as she got home, Chen Xueru asked:

"Husband, how is Aunt Song's matter going?"

He Yuzhu nodded:

"Everything went smoothly, and everyone's back at work now!"

After hearing this, Chen Xueru nodded:

"Oh, that's good!"

He Yuzhu nodded:

"Yes, it's not bad. By the way, has Xiaodi gone to work?"

Chen Xueru nodded:
