Siheyuan: He Yuzhu since 1958

After the engagement, He Yuzhu sent Fan Changming away and returned to Lou's house to stay with Lou Xiaoe for a while. When He Yuzhu was about to say goodbye and leave, Lou Zhenhua stopped him and said, "Zhuzi, wait a minute!"

He Yuzhu asked: "Uncle, what's the matter?!"

"Zhu Zi, sit down!" After Lou Zhenhua asked He Yuzhu to sit down, he got straight to the point and asked, "Zhu Zi, you are the canteen director of the steel mill. You should know a lot about the steel mill, right?! I want to hear your opinion on the current steel mill."

He Yuzhu is not stupid. As soon as Lou Zhenhua opened his mouth, he understood Lou Zhenhua's thoughts and said, "Uncle, I understand what you are thinking. The steel mill was your hard work and ambition when you were young. But the steel mill today is different from the past. From the factory leaders to the ordinary workers, they have no motivation and no responsibility. They just want to fish in troubled waters. They work less every day and get more salary every month. To put it bluntly, they are just eating and waiting for retirement."

Lou Zhenhua asked: "What if I invest in the steel mill?!"

He Yuzhu asked in return: "If you acquire the steel mill, have you ever thought about the workers' problem?! The biggest burden of the steel mill now is not the current workers, but the retired workers. The pensions of retired workers plus the medical expenses may not seem much, but when added together, the number is not small. Do you think you can afford it?!"

Lou Zhenhua was immediately stunned by He Yuzhu's question. After a while, Lou Zhenhua calmed down and said, "It seems that I took it for granted." Then Lou Zhenhua looked at He Yuzhu with a different look. Lou Zhenhua suddenly felt that God was very kind to him and gave him a treasure son-in-law.

Lou Xiao'e, who was sitting next to him, also looked at He Yuzhu with new eyes after hearing what He Yuzhu said. Lou Xiao'e couldn't help but tease him, "He Yuzhu is not bad?! I didn't expect that a cook like you would know all this?!"

He Yuzhu rolled his eyes at Lou Xiaoe and said, "Is it easy for you to be a cook?!"

Lou Xiao'e muttered, "I don't have a talent for cooking!!"

Lou Zhenhua smiled and agreed, "How dare you say that?! I asked you to make a bowl of noodles, and you almost set the kitchen on fire."

Lou Xiao'e smiled and pulled He Yuzhu's arm, saying, "That's why I found a chef as my husband."

Lou Zhenhua then asked: "Zhu Zi, what kind of business do we think is better to do in the mainland?!"

He Yuzhu said: "Hong Kong's present is our future. The mainland is vast and has much greater potential than Hong Kong. Now the mainland lacks everything, it all depends on what you want to do! In recent years, you can take advantage of the demographic dividend and engage in OEM. In addition, with the strengthening of opening up, many emerging industries will be born. Now it depends on who dares to be the first to try it."

Lou Zhenhua suddenly asked: "So what do you want to do next?!"

He Yuzhu replied: "Become a landlord."

"Landlord?!" Lou Xiao'e was slightly stunned and looked at He Yuzhu in surprise.

He Yuzhu said: "This time we are going to Hong Kong to hold a banquet and register a company. Then, in the name of this company, we will buy land in various key cities and build houses for rent."

Lou Xiaoe asked: "Everyone has a house now. Do you think anyone will rent the house you built?!"

He Yuzhu asked back: "Why is no one renting it? Even if it can't be rented out now, who can guarantee that it won't be rented out in the future?!"

Others may not know, but He Yuzhu, as a time traveler, knows very well how the relocated households make money. While the land price is cheap now and others are not paying attention to the land, he can stock up some land first. Even if the houses he builds cannot be rented out, it will be good to get money after the relocation.

Lou Xiao'e asked: "Zhu Zi, how much gold are you going to take with you this time?!"

He Yuzhu replied: "It's my first time going to Hong Kong City, so I don't know much about the situation there. I won't bring too much. I guess I'll only bring about 50 or 60 small yellow croakers."

Lou Zhenhua said: "Zhu Zi, please find time to send the small yellow croaker over. I'll have someone exchange it for Hong Kong dollars for you first."

"Okay! I'll send the small yellow croaker over in two days." Then He Yuzhu chatted with Lou Zhenhua for a while, said goodbye and left.

After He Yuzhu left, Lou Zhenhua was as happy as a child and said, "Xiaoya, we really found a treasure this time. With He Yuzhu here, our Lou family can prosper for at least another 30 years!"

Tan Lingya asked: "Zhenhua, is He Yuzhu really as good as you say?!"

Lou Zhenhua said: "It is even better than before."

After leaving Lou's house, He Yuzhu went back to change his clothes and rode his bicycle slowly to the steel mill. When he arrived at the factory, He Yuzhu first went to the labor union to get a letter of introduction for marriage. After passing out candies and cigarettes and listening to a few compliments, He Yuzhu returned to the office contentedly. However, just as He Yuzhu entered the office and had no time to make a cup of tea, there was a knock on the door.

He Yuzhu shouted, “Come in!”

Secretary Xie pushed the door open and walked in, saying, "He Yuzhu, you're finally here. The factory director asked me to come and see you."

He Yuzhu asked: "Secretary Xie, what's the matter?!"

Secretary Xie said, "Director He, Labor Day is just over a month away. The factory director and Shuji are planning to get in touch with some of the leaders of the affiliated factories who have a good relationship with us."

He Yuzhu said, "Xie Secretary, what a coincidence. I'm getting married on May 1st. I've already got the letter of introduction for the marriage certificate. The date is set, you can't ask me to change the time, right?!"

Secretary Xie immediately showed a constipated expression on his face. Director Song had originally planned to invite them to this dinner in the past few days. Changing it to May Day was entirely his secretary's trick. If He Yuzhu couldn't cook on this day, he would be in big trouble.

He Yuzhu had already noticed something unusual in Secretary Xie's expression, and continued, "Secretary Xie, if there is nothing else, I will go and do my own thing first."

"Wait!" Secretary Xie stopped He Yuzhu who was about to leave and asked, "Director He, the factory's affairs are a big deal! Can't you sacrifice your own family for the sake of everyone else?!"

He Yuzhu looked at Secretary Xie as if he was an idiot and said, "I'm sorry! I'm not aware enough. If there is a suitable person in the factory who can replace me as the director and chef, I will give up my position immediately." After that, He Yuzhu ignored Secretary Xie and walked out of his office.

On the way to the cafeteria, He Yuzhu felt more and more unhappy. Since your leader makes me unhappy, then no one should be happy. He Yuzhu found a place where no one was and entered the supermarket space. He found a pen and paper in the space and wrote a report on suspension of work with pay.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" After leaving the space, He Yuzhu took the report and went straight to the office of the head of the logistics department.

Since Director Yang came back, Gao Yao, the deputy chief of the logistics department, was promoted to the chief of the logistics department of the steel rolling mill. Gao Yao, who was reading documents in the office, heard a knock on the door and shouted, "Come in!"

He Yuzhu opened the door and greeted him with a smile: "Section Chief!"

Gao Yao saw He Yuzhu and greeted him with a smile: "Hey?! He Yuzhu! You are a rare guest! Come and sit down!"

He Yuzhu walked to the opposite side of Gao Yao, pulled out a chair and sat down, slapped the report in his hand in front of Gao Yao, and said, "Approve this report for me!"

"What report?!" Gao Yao picked it up and took a closer look, then exclaimed in surprise, "Suspension without pay?!" He then looked at He Yuzhu and asked, "Zhuzi, why are you giving me a suspension without pay for no reason?!"
