Siheyuan: Pretend to be a Pig and Eat the Tiger

Chapter 261 Liu Haizhong asks for advice, Li Huaide invites

After He Yuzhu's family finished their meal, Qiuyue took Yushui to the ear room;

The main room should be reserved for the two of them, so they can talk freely;

If she were here, she wouldn't be able to let go of her bangs and achieve the desired effect;

She knew the purpose of the bangs;
I've been in the compound for such a long time, how could I not know what's wrong with everyone and what they're pursuing?
Yan Bugui's words probably came to take advantage;

Yi Zhonghai, most likely it is for the elderly care;

As for Liu Haizhong, he must be seeking a way to become an official;

Although the deaf old lady had never come to my house, she was definitely related to food;

Xu Damao's words could be either bragging or he could be causing trouble;
Most likely, no one would have nothing better to do than visit the He family.

As long as they come, they must have needs or ask for help;
He Yuzhu is the head of the family, so it would be better for her to stay away;
Brother Zhuzi wouldn't hide it from her anyway, and his status as the head of the family still needs to be maintained!

The purpose of Liu Haizhong's visit today is hard to guess, but he probably came for official business;
The Red Star Steel Rolling Mill was established, and she and He Yuzhu both held certain positions;

Although it is not even small, it is still unique in Siheyuan.
To be honest, she had no comment on Liu Haizhong's behavior;
The resentment is not so strong, and seeking progress is a good thing;
Although I dislike using connections and relationships;

But on the other hand, it doesn’t have much to do with them;
Because they were unable to help Liu Haizhong, they could only give some suggestions;

No matter what decision He Yuzhu made, she would not interfere;
I have been away from school for more than a year, and I have learned some social skills;
Reality is reality, it can’t be as perfect as described in books;
In life, there are always things that are not satisfactory;

You can't just be dissatisfied with this and indignant about that, right?

There are many helplessness in the world. It is impossible to have everything go as planned and everything goes as planned!
To make an analogy:

For example, if you are a factory worker, you especially want to make progress;
But the opportunity is just out of reach, what would a normal person do?
First, find a way to rely on someone and seek an opportunity;
Second, using money and other means to achieve one's own goals;
Whatever the behavior, it is a way to seek progress;

At this point, your mindset may not be one of condemnation;
Your mentality is: I am not afraid of you accepting it, I am afraid of you not accepting it;

If someone accepts your things, it means that your needs can be met;
If they don’t accept it, it means you have no chance at all;

So, anyone can condemn someone who collects things;

Only, those who offer to send it are not eligible;

Compared with the price offered and the demand itself, the demand is definitely greater than the price;
Otherwise you wouldn't give gifts, and then condemn after achieving your goal, then there is something wrong with your character!

Of course, those who do not run or send off will certainly be condemned;

Because running around to find someone to give the gift to makes the already unfair competition even more unfair!
In Qiuyue's heart, it would be fine if she and He Yuzhu didn't have to face such a situation;
Human power is limited, and it is impossible to manage everyone;

You can only restrain your own behavior, that's all!

To sum up: Qiuyue does not agree, approve, condemn or care about Liu Haizhong’s behavior!

At this time, He Yuzhu and the other man were eating and chatting, talking about a lot of things;
He Yuzhu just refused to respond to Liu Haizhong's words, which made Liu Da very anxious;

He didn't come here to chat with He Yuzhu, but to ask for advice on how to be an official!

“Zhu Zi, I really don’t understand the situation in the factory right now;

Factories became public property, and many departments were added to government offices;

But none of these leaders in the workshop were replaced;

There are no new leadership positions. What’s the secret here?
You are the leader of the factory, analyze the situation for Uncle Er!"

Since He Yuzhu was pretending to talk about something else, he would go straight to the point and not give the other party a chance to play Tai Chi;

Liu Haizhong has summarized a lot of things, and what he says is becoming more and more like a 'big official';
All these things made He Yuzhu feel a bit amused and confused;
Big Head reads newspapers at home and listens to the radio at the factory all day long;

The speech of the big boss is imitated very well, but it is not down-to-earth and sounds a bit funny!

"Second uncle, don't talk nonsense, I'm just the canteen director, not the leader of the factory;

In fact, you haven't grasped the key point at all, so it's normal that you can't figure it out;

You were born in the capital and grew up in the capital, so you have heard many stories.

In my mind, I still think of what the storyteller said about the new dynasty;
I only know that a new emperor appoints new ministers, but I ignore a more important issue;
That is, the main business of our steel rolling mill is still production;
If production capacity declines rapidly after the restructuring, what are the benefits of the restructuring?
How should the factory leaders report to their superiors? What should they do if their superiors hold them accountable?
Any decision made by the factory leaders has a premise that it cannot affect production;
This is the principle, any decision is made on the basis of production;
This is also the reason why Lou Zhenhua continues to serve as the factory director;

As for whether it will change in the future, I don’t know;

At my current level, I can only see so much! "

Seeing that Liu Haizhong went straight to the point, He Yuzhu didn't refuse and just continued talking along with what he said!
“That makes sense. As expected of a director, he thinks things through thoroughly.

If I were to think on my own, I would never be able to comprehend so many things!"

Liu Haizhong nodded seriously and gave a timely compliment;

I don’t know whether it’s true or not, but I listen carefully when he speaks!
He Yuzhu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It was really difficult for Liu Da Nao.
You're already in your forties and you're still kissing his ass!

"Come on, Uncle, this is none of our business, let's drink!"

Liu Haizhong was stunned. How could this not be his business?
How can you be an official if you don’t understand these things?

If you were not an official, wouldn't it be nice to sleep at home at this time?
Bringing meat and drinking with you? Are you free?

Of course, I can only think about this in my mind but dare not say it out loud. Who asked me to ask for something?
"Zhu Zi, please give me some advice. If I want to get a job, what should I do?
My dream since childhood was to become an official. When I saw the Northeast Army entering the city, I envied them.
Later, the bald man came, surrounded by people, and he looked so impressive.
Later, the Japanese invaders came, and even those traitors and running dogs were arrogant;
At least I'm better than those traitors and running dogs, right?

But why can’t this childhood dream come true? "

Liu Haizhong took another sip of wine and spoke his true feelings in a muffled voice;

I envied them back then, but I didn’t have the courage to go to the battlefield, so I could only envy them among the crowd;

People will die on the battlefield, and when they die, it is like a light going out, and everything is gone;

Now that the world has finally come to an end, the restructuring of the steel mill has made my childhood dream even bigger;

He had never felt that his dream was so close;
He had no intention of becoming a high-ranking official, he just wanted to have a job to satisfy his pleasure;
But even this small thought felt extremely difficult, and was enveloped by a strong sense of frustration;

Although he placed his hopes on his son Guangqi, his resentment grew day by day;

Seeing He Yuzhu become the canteen director in such a short time, I was so envious.

At the same time, I felt the pride of He Yuzhu, who can also be in his bangs;

When he was at Lou's Steel Mill, he hadn't been so intense, after all, it was a private matter;
But now it is a public enterprise, and it is said that the steel rolling mill is at the department level;
That’s different. I have more than a hundred people under me, and there are higher ranks above me!

He Yuzhu looked at Liu Haizhong in astonishment. Where did such a big-headed guy get such confidence?

Why does Liu Haizhong think that he is better than the traitors and running dogs?

In terms of national integrity, it is stronger;
Whether he didn't dare or for other reasons, Liu Haizhong didn't take the initiative to be a lackey;
However, in terms of ability, this is not necessarily the case;

Those who can become the leaders of the traitors and their running dogs must have the ability, otherwise, it would be impossible for them to use the deep mouth of the foot basin chicken!

"Uncle, it's good to have dreams. If you don't have dreams, you are just like a salted fish.
I understand your desire to become an official, but it is not something that can be achieved overnight;
First of all, you have to unite your fellow workers and gain their support and endorsement. The mass base is very important.
In fact, to have a good relationship with the leader, you need someone to recommend you, right?
Third, improve your own skills. A blacksmith must be strong himself, right?

Fourth, improve your knowledge. Your primary school education is a disadvantage.

After you do these four things, opportunities will come to you even if you don’t take the initiative! ”

He Yuzhu gave Liu Haizhong four suggestions, which could be considered as a reward for the cooked food and wine!

Don't underestimate these four points. If you want to achieve them, you have to work diligently and slowly lay a solid foundation.
It seems simple, but it is not easy to do!
"night school?"

Liu Haizhong looked at He Yuzhu in confusion. Why had he never heard of night school?
“Yes, the factory aims to improve the cultural knowledge and professional skills of workers;
To meet the needs of the steel mill's production development and enable workers to better adapt to the requirements of industrial construction; to set up a workers' night school to provide a learning platform for those who want to learn, and to issue relevant diplomas to those who graduate;

It is a part-time work-study program, where you work during the day and take classes at night. It is estimated that it will be opened during this period;
I heard that I can apply for junior high school and high school classes. I will know the details in a while!"

He Yuzhu took another sip of wine and introduced the situation of night school to Liu Haizhong;
Here, his story is finished;

Whether it can be successful depends on how hard Liu Haizhong works!
"Well... I'm so old..."

Liu Haizhong was a little hesitant, feeling a little embarrassed to be attending night school at such an old age;
If the teacher is relatively young, wouldn't it be a kid teaching him?
“Second uncle, if you want to get something, you must first pay for it;

Public institutions have strict requirements for academic qualifications, you know!"

He Yuzhu chuckled and didn't want to say anything more.
Everything that needs to be said has been said, and the final decision is up to you!
"Okay, I'll listen to you!"

The next day, when He Yuzhu was slacking off, Zheng Kangzhan called!
"Zhu Zi, do you remember that during the warehouse inspection, there was a member of the superior working group named Li Huaide?"

"Director, remember, what's wrong?"

Of course he remembered Li Huaide; this guy was a big shot in the steel mill!
"That guy called and wanted to invite you to host a birthday party for his father-in-law. Look at this..."

Zheng Kangzhan was a little hesitant. He originally didn't want to let He Yuzhu go. After all, he was the canteen director under him. How could he prepare a family dinner for you?

But even though Li Huaide was average, he was still a good father-in-law. He couldn't just refuse!

Although I never thought of taking this line to gain benefits for myself;

But it's not good to make enemies for no reason, but the protagonist is not him, but He Yuzhu;
That's why I asked He Yuzhu for his opinion. If he agrees, everyone will be happy. If he doesn't agree, he can just refuse!
"Hey, Director, with my cooking skills, how much do you think a meal is worth?
It's not that I don't understand the interpersonal relationship, but the rules of the sect must be followed!"

He Yuzhu had no objection to cooking, and the higher his position, the happier he was;

The reward is not low, and it can expand your network, and you may even get a lot of rare ingredients, so this is not a loss;

What a bullshit self-righteous identity, go to hell, he is not a big shot anyway!
“Haha… I understand!”

Zheng Kangzhan laughed and hung up the phone directly;

He Yuzhu was stunned. What do you mean you understand?

He didn't even have the chance to say anything, what did you understand?
Zheng Kangzhan chuckled, took out his notebook, found a number and dialed it!
"I'm Zheng Kangzhan, help me find Li Huaide!"

"Director Zheng, I am Li Huaide, may I ask?"

“Old Li, I asked around, and Wang Dana has rules, you can’t work for free;

Director Lou said that when he asked He Yuzhu's master to cook, he had to pay him and give him the ingredients;

If there is no problem on your side, I will let the pillar pass directly;
Please forgive me, Zhuzi is my subordinate, so I have to ask around;
Otherwise, just arrange to go there directly, it won’t be good if something unpleasant happens! "

Zheng Kangzhan was pretty good, saying that he had asked Lou Zhenhua about it and didn't push He Yuzhu to the front;
They all knew that Lou Zhenhua was one of the shareholders of Fengze Garden;

His meaning was clear: the boss had to pay employees when he invited them to cook;
He Yuzhu has gone, you can't let him go back empty-handed, otherwise it would be unkind!

"That's fine. It's our principle that people get what they deserve.
Director Zheng, don't worry, I won't make it difficult for you!"

Li Huaide was overjoyed, he thought it was nothing;

If he wanted to do work for free, his father-in-law would not agree;

Not to mention He Yuzhu's cooking skills, which he could not forget;
If you have a good relationship with He Yuzhu, it will be very useful in the future;

In comparison, what does a little compensation mean? He values ​​talent the most;

In comparison, a few material possessions are nothing!

"Haha, that's good. When will you be there?"

"I'll send a car to pick him up the day after tomorrow when he's off!"

"Got it!"

After He Yuzhu got the news about the day after tomorrow, he smiled with satisfaction;
Going to a "rich family" to cook is not only generous, but also helps you to gain popularity. Why not do it?
Not only can you increase your income, but you can also get a lot of good food to nourish your family, which is the best of both worlds!
night
Li Huaide came home from get off work, took a pen and paper and sat in a daze, preparing a menu for Haohao;
As the son-in-law of Mr. Song, he had gone to great lengths to win his favor this time;
Although it was not a big birthday party, he still showed his filial piety to his cousin;
If Mr. Song is happy, he might demote him from the department!

He mentioned it many times, but Mr. Song never made any comment. He really couldn't understand his father-in-law's thoughts;
In the government, not only does he deal with official documents all day, but there are many people who are higher in rank than him;
As the saying goes, it is better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix. In an office, how can it be as satisfying as being a department leader at the grassroots level?

Let's put it this way, he is now a deputy director, and if he goes to the steel mill, he will be at least at the level of deputy director;

The rank set by the steel mill is a full-time department head. If he goes to the steel mill, he will at least be a deputy in the department, and he can be promoted to a full-time position if there is a position.

The grassroots are more likely to produce results, so if he wants to hone his skills there, he will have more opportunities.
There are many people who can stay in the government, at the deputy director level and above;
Office directors are all deputy directors. How many years does it take?

Since the cadre classification in 1952 (at this time it was not yet linked to wages, and the wage reform on June 1956, 6 introduced the administrative level wage system, which was further improved);

He looked around and saw that there were many people with more seniority than himself;
So I wanted to be transferred down to the grassroots level to look for opportunities;

He is currently at the fifteenth administrative level, and if he is promoted one level higher he will be at the sixteenth level, making him the first candidate for promotion to director.

The steel rolling mill has just completed its restructuring, and you will be qualified after one year of experience!
"Lao Li, what are you thinking about? You're thinking about it so seriously!"

When Song Qianwen got home from get off work, she saw Li Huaide staring at the white paper in front of him in a daze and asked curiously!
“Daughter-in-law, my father-in-law’s birthday is coming soon;

I invited He Yuzhu, the canteen manager of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, to cook a meal;

Although this person is young, he is a very good cook and is currently thinking of names for dishes!"

Li Huaide chuckled. Perhaps the best thing he had done in his life was marrying Song Qianwen.
Otherwise, how could a farm boy like him achieve his current success in his thirties?
He joined a large organization right after graduation and is doing very well!

"He Yuzhu? The steel mill?"

Teacher Song looked at Li Huaide in surprise. Could he be He Yushui's brother?
"you know?"

"Mr. Li, do you still remember the student's parent who taught me a lesson and left me speechless?"

Teacher Song gritted his teeth, as if recalling the past that he could not bear to recall!
"Puchi, remember, what's wrong?"

Li Huaide wanted to laugh when he saw it. It was just a verbal confrontation, no need to worry about it!

"Old Li, isn't it funny?"

Song Qianwen looked at Li Huaide with a half-smile on her face!
"No, it's not funny at all!"

“The student’s parent is called He Yuzhu, and he also works at the steel mill;
He Yushui, He Yuzhu, if I am not mistaken, this is the person;
You, He Yushui, dared to lie to the teacher and say that her brother is a worker! "

“Ahem, my wife, your students are right;
A cook is also a worker, there is no conflict!"

He Yuzhu is quite capable of making people angry, as he can make the strong Song Qianwen become like this!

"Hey, give me the menu!"

Song Qianwen looked at the menu and smiled, very weird!
"Daughter-in-law, stop making trouble. This is my father-in-law's birthday party, not a family dinner!"

Li Huaide shuddered and hid the menu behind him. This was a joke.

It doesn't matter if you played a prank, the key is that he doesn't want to take the blame;
He has his own ideas and doesn't dare to leave the impression that he is incompetent!
There must have been his father-in-law’s friends that day, and if he messed up, it would not only be him who would be embarrassed, but also his father-in-law;

Embarrassing oneself in front of old comrades is no joke;

Old and high-ranking people have a common problem: they care about their reputation;

He didn't want to suffer the consequences of losing face;
You are your father-in-law’s favorite daughter, so he will just let it go with a glare;
He is different. Although there is a saying that a son-in-law is half a son, he is still an outsider in the final analysis, not a biological son!
