Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

After starting work, He Yuzhu received a notification that a new deputy factory director, Nie Yufeng, was coming to the factory.

This Director Nie was none other than Deputy Director Nie, who had connections and was a professional slacker.

When Xu Damao was the deputy director, he even competed with him for power. But the other man didn't care about that.

The person who became the deputy director did so to resolve other issues, not to gain power.

Otherwise, Li Huaide wouldn't feel comfortable having such a powerful figure following him around.

This Deputy Director Nie was just unlucky.

He didn't make any major mistakes during the exercise. However, what his relative did was outrageous, causing him to retire early.

He Yuzhu, however, thought this person was quite nice. He even considered befriending him. Not for any other reason than to have someone to keep him company when he was slacking off.

Now that he's working for Li Huaide, everyone will think he's one of Li Huaide's men.

Once Li Huaide makes a scene, he will have no way to clear his name of suspicion.

But He Yuzhu didn't want to do those unethical things for Li Huaide, so the best way was to go through the motions without putting in any effort.

Following this Deputy Director Nie is a good way to avoid trouble.

Moreover, the arrival of this Deputy Director Nie also signifies that Yang Peishan will step down.

He Yuzhu had the idea of ​​befriending Deputy Director Nie, so he put a lot of thought into cooking lunch.

Yang Peishan knew perfectly well that Deputy Director Nie's visit was aimed at him, but he could only grit his teeth and agree.

I also have to go out at noon to welcome him and give him a warm welcome.

"Director Yang, Deputy Director Li, I've heard that our factory's chefs are very good at cooking. I didn't expect them to be this good."

Li Huaide laughed and said, "Deputy Factory Director Nie, this dish was personally prepared by Comrade He Yuzhu, the deputy director of logistics at our factory."

Nie Yufeng said in surprise, "I've heard of him. I'm flattered."

"Could you let him come over? I'd like to offer him a toast."

Before Yang Peishan could agree, Li Huaide sent someone to fetch He Yuzhu.

Although Yang Peishan was dissatisfied, there was nothing he could do. His influence in the factory was dwindling. Many people in the factory had sided with Li Huaide.

He Yuzhu quickly entered the private room.

Li Huaide spoke first: "Zhuzi, this is our factory's new deputy director, Nie. He just praised you quite a bit."

He Yuzhu quickly said, "Deputy Factory Director Nie, I am He Yuzhu, the deputy director of the logistics department. Please take care of me in the future."

Nie Yufeng smiled and said, "Deputy Director He, you don't need to be so polite."

He Yuzhu noticed that Yang Peishan looked unwell, but didn't say much. After toasting everyone, he left.

He Yuzhu stopped worrying about the private rooms.

After they finished eating, He Yuzhu saw through the window that Li Huaide and Nie Yufeng were walking very close together and leaving the cafeteria together.

Yang Peishan watched all this, his face ashen. He was already struggling greatly in his fight with Li Huaide.

Once Nie Yufeng gained power, he truly fell into a disadvantageous position.

Frustrated, Yang Peishan went to He Yuzhu's office. This was his first time in He Yuzhu's office.

"Deputy Director He, have you visited the top leader recently?"

He Yuzhu said, "I went there a couple of nights ago. The big boss doesn't have a good appetite, so he asked me to cook for him."

"Did he say anything?" Yang Peishan asked, his eyes filled with anticipation.

He Yuzhu thought for a moment and said, "Factory manager, as you know, I never ask about anything other than cooking."

However, the big boss seems quite busy; his wife says he often stays up late.

Yang Peishan sighed and didn't ask anything more.

He Yuzhu couldn't say anything.

Yang Peishan only knew how to flatter his superiors, but not how to care for his subordinates. His followers ate nothing but cakes every day.

Li Huaide employed a strategy of encircling the cities from the countryside. After more than a decade of hard work, most people in the factory recognized and supported him.

More importantly, following him guarantees a good life.

People are selfish; following Li Huaide clearly offers a better future and more financial prospects.

Do I even need to consider how to choose?
The higher-ups were also in a bad situation, and at this point, they couldn't care less about Yang Peishan.

He couldn't possibly go against Li Huaide's forces for Yang Peishan's sake.

The changes at the factory did not affect the courtyard house.

After a day of fermentation, everyone in the yard realized what was happening.

Many people who are not clear-headed choose to be like Qin Huairu, becoming filial sons and virtuous grandsons.

Everyone was eager to offer their respects to the deaf old lady. Yan Bugui, realizing the situation was turning bad, forgot all about calling a meeting with his children. He had his third aunt bring out the salted fish from the house to offer to the deaf old lady.

When Liu Haizhong returned to the courtyard house, he smelled the aroma of Yan Bugui's home.

"Old Yan, what happy event is there in your family?"

Yan Bugui looked at him as if he were an enemy. There was no way around it; Liu Haizhong was one of his biggest rivals.

The other one is Qin Huairu.

"What happy event could there be in my family? You'd better go home and have dinner."

Liu Haizhong was unhappy. He didn't know that Yan Bugui had invited Yi Zhonghai yesterday, and there was nothing he could do about it.

But today, he actually encountered it.

"Old Yan, I haven't offended you, have I? I even helped you find your child a job."

You treated Lao Yi to dinner yesterday, but not me. You're treating today, and you still won't invite me.

Are you trying to break ties with me?

Yan Bugui dared not, and could only say, "Yesterday, I asked Lao Yi to help with the liberation."

As you know, he was targeted at the factory.

If you can help me solve this problem, I promise I'll buy you a drink.

Liu Haizhong knew his own limitations; no matter how arrogant he was, he couldn't control what happened in other factories.

Having no other choice, he had to let go of Yan Bugui and go home.

The three women said helplessly, "When Lao Liu gets home, he'll find out about the house too."

Everyone in the compound is scrambling to buy a house. Do we think we can get one?

Yan Bugui said, "I'm not afraid of Lao Liu, but I'm most afraid of Qin Huairu."

The deaf old lady listened to Lao Yi the most, and Lao Yi listened to Qin Huairu the most.

If Lao Yi helps Qin Huairu, our chances of getting the house will be much smaller.

The third aunt said, "Then why did you make me cook fish for the deaf old lady?"

Yan Bugui said, "What do you know? Don't forget, the deaf old lady dislikes Qin Huairu the most."

Who is Qin Huairu? Once something is in her hands, don't expect her to take it back.

We just need to promise the deaf old lady that we'll return the house to her when she comes back.

She'll definitely agree.

"What if she really comes back?" the third aunt asked worriedly.

Yan Bugui said, "Come back? Don't you know how old she is? Once she's in a nursing home, she can forget about coming out alive."

Don't worry, my plan won't be wrong.

Hurry up and cook the fish.

The three aunts thought Yan Bugui's plan made sense, so they quickly went to watch the pot.

When He Yuzhu returned, he smelled the fragrance in the yard and was somewhat surprised.

He asked Li Zhenjiang, "What happened?"

Li Zhenjiang said, "It's all for the deaf old lady's house."

He Yuzhu looked at him amusedly: "You didn't send it to her, did you?"

Li Zhenjiang shook his head, not wanting to say anything more.

He Yuzhu wisely refrained from asking further questions. Clearly, his wife was still throwing a tantrum.

Every family has its cupboard.

He Yuzhu couldn't care less about all that.

Compared to the Li family, Wu Tiezhu's house was smaller, and they needed a house even more.

He Yuzhu has a good relationship with both families, so it wouldn't be good to favor either of them.

Upon entering the courtyard, Qin Huairu was busy by the stove, no longer continuing her laundry business.

It seems these two widows are really going all out for the house.

He Yuzhu didn't linger outside and went inside. He Yushui and her sisters had already returned to school, so the house was much quieter.

Lin Jinghan said, "Aren't the people in the courtyard just wasting their time? The house belongs to the neighborhood committee, what good will it do them to beg the deaf old lady?"

He Yuzhu laughed and said, "Why do you care about them?" (End of Chapter)
