Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

Jinjia
Jin Youcai noticed that Jin Youfu was hesitant, as if he had something to say.

He went straight to the point and asked, "Brother, is something wrong?"

Jin Youfu opened his mouth, but was too embarrassed to say it.

Zhang Nana knew that her husband was clumsy with words and didn't know how to talk; all he knew was how to work.

“You’re rich, that’s just your brother’s personality. You can’t get a word out of him even if you hit him three times.”

How could Jin Youcai not understand his elder brother? If it weren't for Zhang Nana back then, his relationship with Jin Youfu would have ended long ago.

"Sister-in-law, you tell me. If there are any difficulties at home, I will definitely help."

Cheng Hong smiled and said, "Yes, sister-in-law. We're family, there's nothing we can't talk about."

This is from the bottom of her heart.

Since Jin Youfu married Zhang Nana, her rural hometown has not only not caused her any trouble, but has also brought her honor.

Especially after the reform and opening up and the implementation of the household responsibility system, her hometown would send her vegetables several times a year.

The food itself isn't valuable, but the sentiment behind it is, and the neighbors' envy is even more valuable.

All the neighbors in the area speak highly of the Jin family's character.

Zhang Nana said, "Actually, it's nothing. It's just that your nephew Yongkun is almost thirty this year."

We don't want him to continue farming in the countryside; we want him to come to the city and find a job.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Hong smiled and said, "It's time to go out and find a job."

Sister-in-law, you don't know, doing business is all the rage these days.

Many people have made a fortune.

The kids from Old Zhang's family in our courtyard are all starting businesses now.

Zhang Nana secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Sister-in-law, that's exactly what I was thinking."

Life in rural areas has indeed improved, but it's still just enough to fill one's stomach.

"Yes, that's how you should think."

The two sisters-in-law were chatting enthusiastically, as if they were about to make a fortune.

Jin Youcai had to interrupt them: "What does Yongkun want to do?"

Zhang Nana said, "We don't know what to do now. You Cai, you're his uncle, help him think of something."

Jin Youcai sat there, deep in thought.

Cheng Hong replied, "What are you thinking? This is a simple matter."

"How can it be simple?" Jin Youcai looked at her, puzzled.

Cheng Hong said, "How is it not simple? If we're talking about someone rich around here, the first person that comes to mind is He Yuzhu."

"Let's go find him and get Yongkun to work for him, that'll do."

Jin Youcai said, "You make it sound so simple. Those people in their courtyard went to him for help, did you see him help a single one of them?"

Cheng Hong retorted, "How could he not help? Didn't the Miao family and the Wu family work for him?"

Don't mention those people from the Jia family.

If I had money, I wouldn't help the Jia family.

"Don't you even look at what kind of people those are?"

This is the truth, and Jin Youcai has no way to refute it.

Throughout his life, Yi Zhonghai failed to establish a moral paragon; he can only be considered half a moral saint.

This half-sacred position is not enough to protect the beasts in Courtyard No. 95.

Most of the people in the neighborhood may not say it, but they really look down on their behavior.

Of course, there is also a small number of people who agree with their approach.

That's normal; no one can unify people's thoughts.

Cheng Hong said, "He Yuzhu's company offers the best benefits, so I think Yongkun should work for He Yuzhu."

If all else fails, you can also go to Xu Damao.

Jin Youcai knew that Cheng Hong was right. He Yuzhu's path was the most promising one they could find.

It's something only Yi Zhonghai would do to forgo the best option. His decision to focus on elderly care has become a laughing stock in the neighborhood.

There were quite a few promising people in the entire No. 95 compound, but Yi Zhonghai chose the worst one.

"But we can't find Zhu Zi. He hasn't come back since he moved away."

Cheng Hong said confidently, "That's easy. Others may not be able to see him, but Duan Zicong will definitely be able to."

Let's go to the Duan family first and talk to him.

After the Jin family made the arrangements, Cheng Hong went to the kitchen to cook.

It was soon past ten o'clock, and the Jin family figured that Duan Zicong was about to get off work, so they went to Duan's house together.

When Ran Qiuye opened the door and saw them, she quickly said, "Brother Jin, Sister-in-law Cheng. I was just talking to Zicong about your family."

Every time your relatives come to visit, they bring us vegetables.

Cheng Hong said with a smile, "Qiu Ye, don't say that. If it weren't for you keeping an eye on our son back then, he wouldn't be where he is today."

When Duan Zicong saw the group approaching, he guessed that something was amiss, but he didn't speak rashly.

Since he left the steel mill with He Yuzhu and became the head chef of Chaoyang Hotel, many more people have come to him asking for favors.

Some people's problems are easy to handle, but others are extremely difficult.

Cheng Hong chatted with Ran Qiuye for a while, which helped to create a suitable atmosphere.

The real business still needs to be discussed by Jin Youcai, the head of the family.

"Zicong, here's the thing. My older brother's son, Yongkun, wants to find a job."

I heard that Zhu Zi's factory is almost finished. I'd like to ask him what his requirements are for hiring people.

Yongkun doesn't have any other skills, he just has a lot of strength. Could he go work as a factory worker?

Duan Zicong was relieved when he heard about this. He Yuzhu's factory was indeed hiring, but only ordinary workers; there was nothing difficult about it.

He was afraid that the Jin family would be like the others, demanding leadership positions right off the bat.

Considering the Jin family's character and their relationship with He Yuzhu, Duan Zicong did not refuse.

"The factory for the master is not finished yet. We will start recruiting workers once it is completed."

How about this, I'll talk to my master tomorrow, what do you think?

The Jin family was quite sensible; upon hearing Duan Zicong's words, they didn't press the matter further and went straight home.

After they left, Ran Qiuye said, "Don't agree to anything rashly. If Master finds out, he'll be unhappy."

Duan Zicong smiled and said, "It's nothing. Our master told us about this."

After the factory starts operating, any honest and hardworking relatives we have can come and work there.

Besides, my master has a good relationship with the Jin family; I can't refuse."

He Yuzhu knew very well that after the factory started operating, many relatives and friends would try to get him a job through connections.

If he refuses them all, it would seem like he's being too heartless.

So he simply didn't refuse.

If we set stricter rules for the factory and enforce them effectively, we'll eventually be able to kick out those who just coast along.

Moreover, he had already made it clear that using connections was possible, but only as a worker.

If you want to become a leader in the factory, there's only one way: rely on your own abilities.

Ran Qiuye didn't care about any of this. The Duan family had no relatives; their only relative was Duan Ziming, Duan Zicong's younger brother.

Duan Ziming is currently in the army as a company commander and will not be working in a factory.

The Ran family doesn't have many relatives. Those relatives are all educated people and wouldn't work in factories.

"You can handle it as you see fit. But I must warn you, Master may seem indifferent to everything, but if anyone crosses his bottom line, he won't show any mercy."

Duan Zicong smiled and said, "Don't worry, I know everything. By the way, my master told me that my senior brother and I should take good care of things at the restaurant in the future."

Also, my master is planning to open a restaurant in Shanghai, and he needs my senior apprentice and me to go there and keep an eye on the kitchen.

Ran Qiuye's eyes lit up, and she asked, "I remember Master said that when we open another restaurant, we'll give you shares..."

Duan Zicong burst into laughter: "I remember you used to treat money like dirt, how come you're solving riddles now?"

Ran Qiuye rolled her eyes at him, dissatisfied: "I'm only doing this for our family." (End of Chapter)
