Siheyuan: A warm home with wife and children

"Next time, I'll ask the courtyard to re-elect the eldest uncle. Think it over carefully!"

Chapter Ninety-One: Rewards, Invitation from a High-Ranking Leader

Director Wang has left.

An old man stared at Xu Damao with a stern face, saying nothing.

In his mind, this must have been something Xu Damao had told Director Wang on his behalf.

Xu Damao wasn't intimidated by him and said, "Why are you looking at me? It wasn't me who said it."

"If it wasn't you, who else could it be?"

The old man spoke in a low voice, clearly furious.

"How would I know who it is? With you constantly causing trouble for the local government, it was only a matter of time before something bad happened."

Xu Damao left with a single sentence, then went crazy.

He's in a really bad mood today!

I don't care if you're an old man or an old man...

Don't mess with him, or no one will listen to you!

Back in the room, Xu Damao looked at the gauze on his face.

There's nothing wrong with it, everything's fine.

Only then did he put on his umbrella and head out to work at the steel rolling mill.

As for the injury, we'll talk about that later tonight.

When they arrived at the factory, Yang Jianguo parked the car.

But he was thinking about something else.

[I checked in for three consecutive days this week and received a phonograph, two ham chickens, and 20 jin of refined wheat flour.]

Were these things a reward from the factory, or did they come from somewhere else?

Yang Jianguo was a little unsure.

This is hardly a reward.

Although the phonograph is a rare item, it pales in comparison to his contribution this time.

That's at a high level for someone on his platform.

This little bit of stuff definitely won't do.

If it came from somewhere else, well...

Who is it? So wealthy.

Wearing a raincoat, I walked towards the workshop and ran into Yu Haitang halfway there.

"Master Yang, why are you still wearing a straw raincoat? Didn't you buy yourself a black raincoat?"

"I bought it, but I haven't worn it!"

"Since you've bought it, why not wear it?"

Yu Haitang felt he was just showing off, thinking to herself, 'Isn't he just like any other man, obsessed with saving face!'

Yang Jianguo stopped and said seriously, "Comrade Yu Haitang, most of the people in our country are still living on the poverty line."

Instead of asking me why I'm wearing a straw raincoat instead of a black raincoat, you should stop here.

Instead, we should do more to contribute to the people and the country in whatever way we can.

Under Yu Haitang's speechless and excited expression, Yang Jianguo strode into the workshop.

There aren't any special tasks these past two days, so there's not much work in the workshop.

Yang Jianguo, in particular, basically did nothing except occasionally lift a finger.

So, taking advantage of the approaching lunchtime, Yang Jianguo went directly to the factory director's office.

"Factory Manager." Yang Jianguo knocked on the door and then closed it behind him.

Looking up, Director Yang continued to bury himself in writing and drawing on the table, muttering, "You really don't hold back!"

"Why should I be polite with you? Hehe~" When he said he wasn't being polite, he really wasn't.

He sat down in the chair and casually reached for the cigarettes on the table.

Factory Director Yang raised his hand and slapped it back at him: "Go, slap yourself."

"Factory manager, isn't your spirit of thrift a bit too profound?"

Factory Director Yang lost interest in writing the report. He put down his pen, picked up a cigarette, and laughed, "This is all I have for a week!"

"is it?"

Yang Jianguo reached into his pocket and laughed, "Then you'll have to take mine."

Factory Director Yang waved his hand and tossed the cigarette in front of him: "Alright, stop pretending here, have a smoke!"

Yang Jianguo reached out and touched it, then handed it to him first.

"I won't smoke anymore. I'm quitting."

Yang Jianguo was intrigued and shoved the cigarette back into his hand: "Why did you quit?"

Director Yang knew that he wasn't a heavy smoker and usually just smoked a little to save face.

What smoker doesn't have two yellow lines on their fingers?

"The big boss said that every time I go to his house, it's filled with smoke and fire, and it's difficult for him to talk to me."

"I made up my mind and quit."

"Really?" Yang Jianguo smiled.

However, the big boss really doesn't smoke, and then I thought about the reward I got for signing in today.

Yang Jianguo felt reassured; it seemed he would have to postpone his plan to build a homemade water heater.

"Tonight, you're coming with me to the big boss's house to meet him."

In fact, Director Yang had wanted to take him there for a long time.

But the timing just didn't work out.

First, the top leader wasn't there, and then the factory came up with a task.

I finally have some free time, and I've managed to squeeze in some time together.

Even the top leader didn't say it would be moved to the weekend.

Let's meet up soon!

By the weekend, one of these two busy people might be too busy to be available again.

Why is Director Yang in such a hurry?

The fact that he was able to climb to the top leadership position so quickly was partly due to Yang Jianguo's influence.

Although I have this connection, the relationship is distant.

If you want to get hooked, you have to do something, right?

Who would bother to even glance at a pile of mud in front of them?

Yang Jianguo demonstrated this skill, successfully capturing the attention of the top leader and bringing the steel rolling mill to the scene.

Now that the top leader has just assumed a key position in the Ministry of Metallurgy, he is not very familiar with the situation below and is eager to make a breakthrough.

At a time when manpower was scarce, Director Yang caught his eye, and he had no choice but to entrust him with an important task.

It's not obvious yet, but as you walk on...

Hey~

The opportunity will naturally come.

Moreover, since the removal of Deputy Factory Director Li, it has had far-reaching consequences.

He's firmly in control of the top leadership position.

How could one not long to meet such a lucky charm?

"By the way, do you live in the same courtyard as Chef He from our cafeteria?"

When Director Yang asked about Sha Zhu, it seemed he was considering introducing him to the higher-ups.

His years of work experience have made him a fan of Sichuan cuisine.

Moreover, some of his former subordinates are coming to visit him from there, so he needs to find a good cook to show off his skills.

“Yes, we’ll live in the same courtyard.” Yang Jianguo nodded.

Factory Director Yang pondered for a moment and then asked, "What do you think of this person?"

He was testing the waters to see what the relationship was between Yang Jianguo and He Yuzhu.

If that doesn't work, he'll find someone else to cook.

"Straightforward, no bad intentions, not bad."

Yang Jianguo's response was also very fair and unbiased.

He's a good comrade, always seeking truth from facts.

Sure enough, Factory Director Yang smiled with satisfaction: "Okay, don't leave after work, come with me."

Although nothing was said, it was actually said.

Director Yang understood Sha Zhu perfectly well.

It's about seeing Yang Jianguo's attitude and evaluation, mainly because we're afraid there might be some conflict between the two.

Now it seems that I have thought too much.

With the awareness of a nation's founding father, he would never maliciously slander someone behind their back.

The big boss was right; he's a good comrade.

I saw Sha Zhu at the cafeteria during lunch.

He still grinned and waved to himself, and Yang Jianguo returned the gesture.

Judging from his excitement, he must have received the news.

He shouldn't be too surprised when he meets the high-ranking leader at his home.

Chapter Ninety-Two: The Showdown, Dinner at the Big Boss's House

In the afternoon, Sha Zhu spoke to the old man in advance.

This blind date has to be rescheduled; he has to go meet a high-ranking leader, Director Yang.

If I cook for someone else, I'll definitely be back late.

Yi Zhonghai didn't waste any words and simply agreed.

He thought to himself, 'This is good, it just so happens that I haven't figured out how to talk to this silly guy yet.'

You think this old man is up to no good?

There are some, but the girl he introduced is quite good.

Aside from looks, which is what Shaju values ​​most...

She wasn't exactly square-faced; she was just an ordinary girl.

It's the kind of thing you see everywhere on the street.

It was naturally far from meeting Sha Zhu's requirements.

Ke Ren is indeed honest, upright, and not pretentious.

She's efficient at work and speaks with confidence and composure.
