The Dream Fulfillment Master in the Courtyard

"Brother Chen, do you really think I can do it?"

Shen Zhiyu was truly uncertain.

He felt he wasn't good enough for the girl.

Putting aside Qin Huairu's matter, just this one meeting was enough to warrant a meal from Lao Mo. He could only think of one sentence: How could I, in my poverty, dare to mislead such a beauty?

"Why can't it work?"

Chen Guofu, however, had complete confidence in Shen Zhiyu.

"As for looks, you're not bad-looking, kid. There aren't many handsome young men in our steel rolling mill who can compare to you. In terms of appearance, we're no worse than anyone else!"

"In terms of work and income, you're only in your early twenties, a security officer, the leader of the first-level security team, earning the salary of a first-class clerk. Tell me, where are you lacking?"

"In terms of future prospects and ability, not just in our steel mill, but in the entire city of Beijing, how many people are like you?"

After Chen Guofu's explanation, Shen Zhiyu felt as if she had become an outstanding person.

My self-confidence suddenly increased a little.

But it was only a little bit.

He was, after all, an untrained individual with no powerful connections, and could only rely on his own abilities to make a living. Compared to those who had powerful connections, a slight change in their power could be the limit of his potential.

However, just as she thought of this, Shen Zhiyu's thoughts changed.

Since we've met by chance, why not give it a try?

He's not a piece of trash!

To put it bluntly, don't underestimate a young person's potential!

He's a total jerk!

What's there to be cowardly about?

……

Nothing happened that day.

Just before leaving get off work, Qian Weigong called him over and gave him a stern lecture, saying that he must perform well and that he would arrange for someone to observe him on-site.

After hearing Qian Weigong's words, Shen Zhiyu inexplicably felt that she was being forced into a difficult situation, and it was like forcing a cow to drink water.

But he was the boss, and he was the underling, so he could only listen.

However, Shen Zhiyu also became even more curious about this girl.

What's their background?

"Putting money first" means they're determined to get him to sleep with the girl!

However, Shen Zhiyu just wanted to say that these things depend on fate; who knows if the girl is his type?

On my way back to the courtyard house from the steel rolling mill, I encountered Yan Bugui at the gate.

Yes, and Xu Damao too!

Xu Damao was pushing his bicycle, with some dried goods hanging from the handlebars, while Yan Bugui was carrying a bunch of dried mushrooms of some kind whose specific name he didn't know.

There are many kinds of mushrooms in the mountains, but unfortunately, Shen Zhiyu didn't know their value.

But judging from Yan Bugui's expression, he must have gotten something good.

Of course, Yan Bugui, this stingy and calculating gatekeeper of the courtyard house, would be very happy to get anything from the residents.

"Teacher Yan, Comrade Xu, what are you two talking about?"

Shen Zhiyu greeted the two of them with a smile.

"Officer Shen, hehe, I just got back from showing movies in the countryside with my mentor. These are some local produce that the villagers gave me. Take them back and make some soup; it'll be delicious!"

Xu Damao chuckled as he picked a bunch of dried mushrooms and was about to hand them to Shen Zhiyu.

Shen Zhiyu quickly waved her hand and said, "Comrade Xu, there's no need for that. We have rules!"

"You guys chat, I'm going back to my room!"

Shen Zhiyu couldn't really say anything about Xu Damao accepting gifts from the farmer.

Shen Zhiyu was unaware of the extent of genuine emotion and unavoidable circumstances in this situation.

Therefore, no comment is made.

However, in this era where every penny is precious, Shen Zhiyu was skeptical that the farmer was being so generous.

But even if there really is some hidden reason, Shen Zhiyu can't do anything about it.

The human heart is the most unpredictable thing.

Moreover, as someone once said, don't presume to change anyone; that's something only God can do.

Back at the Intermediate People's Court, I didn't see the familiar figure at the tap.

Shen Zhiyu did see the joke.

Originally, this stick dog was always dressed neatly, but now it's dressed sloppily and is running around the yard with a stick in its hand.

Jia Zhangshi was nowhere to be seen.

Shen Zhiyu thought to herself, "Could it be that Jia Zhangshi threw the sticks in the yard and went off to have a feast by herself again?"

But what does this have to do with him?

Shen Zhiyu neither liked nor disliked Bang Geng, the future master thief of the courtyard.

The kind of family you come from will determine the kind of child you raise!

As for turning him over while he's still young?

He's not his father!

Back in the side room, Shen Zhiyu first poked open the stove to reignite the sealed coal briquettes, and then prepared to make herself some dinner.

I don't want to eat out today.

The food at state-run restaurants is indeed quite good, but what kind of family does that? Eating out every day is so detached from the masses. Do they want to ascend to heaven?

Shen Zhiyu was busy with something when there was a knock on the door.

Who is it?

Shen Zhiyu asked, "Just come in!"

The curtain was quickly lifted, and Yi Zhonghai appeared in the doorway.

"Master Yi? Is something the matter?"

Shen Zhiyu was taken aback when she saw that the person who came was Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai smiled and said, "There's something going on. You came back late yesterday, so you probably don't know, but Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu next door had a little argument, and Qin Huairu ran out!"

"Didn't you say you were going back to your parents' home?"

Shen Zhiyu glanced at Yi Zhonghai, "This morning, Master He told me, saying that Bang Geng said it!"

"Master Yi, what's going on? Are you reporting a crime to our security department?"

"Xiao Shen, no, I don't mean to report it to the police!"

"I'm just worried that something might happen to Qin Huairu on her way back to her parents' home so late at night!"

Yi Zhonghai spoke softly, "Dongxu is a proud man, and his mother is stubborn too. What if Qin Huairu doesn't go back to her parents' home..."

"Master Yi, do you want me to visit Qin Huairu's family home?"

Shen Zhiyu understood.

Yi Zhonghai nodded and said, "Yes, yes, that's exactly what I meant!"

"Master Yi, we need to make this clear from the start. You've filed a police report, and our security department has to report any incidents we encounter. If, and I mean if, Qin Huairu isn't at her parents' house, then this matter can't be closed so easily!"

"Of course, I'm just saying, if Qin Huairu really did go back to her parents' home, then everyone would be happy!"

"..."

Yi Zhonghai remained silent for a long time after hearing Shen Zhiyu's words.

"Master Yi, have you made up your mind?"

"If you're sure you want to report this to the police, I'll go back to the factory right now, gather some people, and go to Qin Huairu's parents' house!"

After this time, we'll definitely need a car.

It will be either a jeep or a sidecar, but it's more likely to be a jeep. After one trip, the fuel cost will probably still be charged to Jia Dongxu.

After throwing the question to Yi Zhonghai, Shen Zhiyu didn't urge him to answer immediately, and continued to prepare his dinner.

After a long silence, Yi Zhonghai spoke, saying, "Officer Shen, then I'll trouble you to make the trip!"

"Alright!"

As a security officer, Shen Zhiyu couldn't ignore the workers' demands.
