Siheyuan: He Yuzhu's rebirth in the 21st century

"Brother He, I'm begging you!"

"To seize this opportunity, I even postponed my wedding with your sister-in-law early next year."

"Your sister-in-law was so angry that she wouldn't let me into bed!"

Li He's eyes were bloodshot as he looked at He Yuzhu with a earnest expression.

"Um... Brother He, I won't say anything more, I'll arrange the business trip right away."

When He Yuzhu realized that He Ge was determined, he stopped making excuses and readily agreed.

After all, they had already lowered themselves to the point of practically begging, and refusing them would make them look bad.

However, he simply couldn't understand why his brother would go to such lengths for a promotion, even disregarding such an important part of his life.

"I don't think Brother He is the kind of person who particularly values ​​position and power. Could it be that he has some unspeakable secret?"

He Yuzhu came from a tenement compound and had very little contact with the other children there, so he naturally couldn't figure out the reason.

"Good brother! I knew you would help me!"

Upon hearing this, Brother He felt a great sense of relief, and a thin mist instantly welled up in his eyes.

Even if no one understands me, it's not scary. As long as I have good brothers to support me, I have nothing to fear!

As a former hardcore hoodlum in Beijing, the concept of "face" was ingrained in his very bones.

If you treat me with respect, I will treat you with even greater respect.

But what if someone slapped him in the face...?

If I don't avenge this, I'll never truly understand life!

"Brother He, it's not that serious. We're brothers, helping you is just the right thing to do."

"I'm afraid that next time you come back from your business trip, Sister-in-law Xiaobai won't let you into the house!"

Seeing that He Ge was in a bad mood, He Yuzhu joked.

"She dared to stop me from coming into the house! Just wait and see..."

Before Li He could finish speaking, He Yuzhu pointed at the office door and shouted.

"Hey~ Sister-in-law, what brings you here?!"

"Ahem~ Xiaobai, what I was going to say was that I'd give you a kowtow... Huh? Where did you go?"

Li He quickly put on a smiling face and turned to look at the gate...

However, the doorway was empty; there wasn't a soul in sight.

He then realized that Brother He was teasing him.

Li He breathed a sigh of relief, and his mood relaxed considerably.

"Brother He, you scared me half to death!"

"Haha~ Looks like he's not much of a younger brother in his family!"

"What? Brother He's family holds a high position? I'll go ask his wife right now~"

"No way~ We're in the same boat, we're evenly matched!"

……

"Brother He, based on our current achievements, it's a sure thing that we'll both be promoted, but the timing isn't quite right!"

After the two finished joking around and sat down again, Li He said with some regret.

"Wrong timing? What do you mean?"

He Yuzhu looked completely bewildered.

In my past life, let alone a division chief, even a section chief was someone I had to look up to.

Not to mention promotion plans at the level of division chief or above.

It seems I should find some time to visit Deputy Factory Director Li and ask him for some advice...

“Brother He, it’s only been a little over six months since we were promoted to the level of division chief. If we were to be promoted again, the procedures would be difficult, and it might require a very high level of review.”

"If the two of us have been working at the division chief level for many years, with the achievements of Hongxing Restaurant, promotion would be too easy."

Li explained.

"Brother He, something's not right!"

"You just said that Shi Cheng's deputy will most likely retire due to illness at the beginning of next year. There are only a few months left until the beginning of next year. Isn't it too late?"

He Yuzhu keenly noticed the problem and asked in confusion.

"It's alright, I've already spoken with Uncle Lin."
