Siheyuan: Cooking journey

He Yuzhu looked at him strangely, guessing that maybe Old You wanted to introduce someone to work in the factory again. Just as he was guessing, Old You hesitated and said awkwardly:

"Director He, didn't you mention before that you wanted to keep the house in the backyard?"

"As you know, everyone is facing the problem of housing shortage nowadays. Many families live in one house with several people. If this house is left vacant, it will have a bad impact."

"How about this? I'll help you find a suitable tenant to rent the place in your name. You don't have to worry about the rent at all. I can pay it for you. Moreover, I can guarantee you that no one will move in."

"You can let anyone you want live there in the future."

It turned out to be this.

This house was originally left for Ran Qiuye's parents.

Now that they have all gone to the United States, this house has no special meaning. However, in order to prevent some people with unknown backgrounds from moving in, as Lao You said, it is better to leave it unoccupied for a while.

Think about it for a while.

He Yuzhu nodded and agreed: "Old You, do as you say. As for the rent, I won't bother you. I will pay it myself."

"No, I must be responsible for the rent."

Old You waved his hand hastily to explain, and added with a smile: "Director He, this is the case. There is one more thing I want to discuss with you."

"Our children are all grown up, but we just don't have enough space at home. It's a waste to leave this house empty anyway, so can my daughter Fengxia stay here for a while? There are three rooms in total, so she can just live in one of them."

"I can guarantee that if you need someone else to move in in the future, we will move out immediately."

This so-called promise doesn't sound very reliable...

He Yuzhu muttered silently in his heart, but didn't care too much. He nodded and agreed.

"Okay, you arrange it."

After saying this, He Yuzhu prepared to leave.

Director You hurriedly said, "Hey, Director He, I have something else to trouble you with."

"You see, this place is a bit far from the new factory, and it's not very convenient for commuting."

"I heard you have a car with an empty seat. Can you take Xiaoxia with you on your way to work every day?"

He Yuzhu was a little too tired to complain.

It’s just one thing, but why does it feel like it’s never-ending?

"Okay, let her wait in the parking lot of the steel mill in the morning..."

These are just trivial matters.

He Yuzhu did not refuse. After agreeing, he confirmed that Director You was fine, smiled, shook his head, and went home.

As soon as I entered the room, I saw Qin Huairu there.

He Yuzhu's smile disappeared immediately.

Unexpectedly, Qin Huairu did not stay long and left quickly.

After dinner.

He Yuzhu was walking in the yard again.

He saw Qin Jingru coming out of Qin Huairu's house and walking towards the backyard.

He also followed to the backyard.

next door.

Qin Huairu stood in front of the window, biting her lips tightly, feeling extremely aggrieved.

I had noticed He Yuzhu wandering around the yard a long time ago.

I also saw He Yuzhu following Qin Jingru back to the backyard——

I didn't do anything today and was so well behaved, why is he still angry?

Qin Huairu was very impulsive and really wanted to go to the backyard.

After thinking about it, he hesitated again.

She felt that He Yuzhu might be lying to her again.

Even if it wasn't a lie, she didn't want to go.

As an older sister, why should I fight with my younger sister?

If she wants to fight, she should fight with Lou Xiaoe or Ran Qiuye. If she can't win against these two, there's still Yu Li. And her cousin is already on her side, so there's nothing to fight for.

in the corridor.

Qin Jingru was overjoyed when she found He Yuzhu, fearing that what happened last night would happen again.

She looked around and saw no one, so she immediately hugged him.

"He Yuzhu, I miss you so much."

"let go......"

He Yuzhu whispered a warning and gently pushed her.

Qin Jingru obediently let go of her hand, her eyes full of expectation, and said aggrievedly: "I really miss you."

He Yuzhu looked around, raised his hand and touched her face, and said gently:

"Starting tomorrow, you will go to work in the instant noodle factory office. Remember to find Yu Li in the parking lot of the steel mill in the morning. She will drive you there."

"really?"

Qin Jingru's eyes lit up instantly, and her face was full of sweetness.

Although I know that He Yuzhu works in the instant noodle factory.

Now, there are only two of them in an office. Aren't there more opportunities?

Thinking about this, it feels more and more wonderful.

Qin Jingru looked at him, the tenderness in her eyes almost overflowing.

next door.

Qin Huairu stood by the window, very hesitant.

Although she knew He Yuzhu was out tonight, she wanted to wait for him on the street and fight with Lou Xiaoe again. But He Yuzhu had said last time that she was not allowed to wait there.

She was very worried that if she went again, this petty man would get angry again.

Just thinking about it.

I saw He Yuzhu walking past the front window and went straight home.

Qin Huairu blinked.

You're back so soon, are you lying again?

A little curious.

Qin Huairu hesitated for a moment, went to the backyard, and knocked on Qin Jingru's door.

"Sister, why are you here?"

Qin Jingru's pretty little face was filled with excitement that was difficult to conceal.

Obviously there is something good.

Qin Huairu's eyesight was fine, so she could tell what she was happy about. So she glanced at her and asked curiously, "Did you find money? Are you so happy?"

"How could I have found any money?"

Qin Jingru said happily: "He Yuzhu said that I will go to work in the new factory office in the future! That's great, I can see him every day in the future!"

"Sister, do you know what you do in an office? Are you working as He Yuzhu's secretary? Oh, and there's a special car to pick you up..."

Qin Huairu was speechless.

I felt so sad and depressed that I wanted to cry.

It would have been fine if Yu Li had become the deputy general manager, but her cousin had even become a secretary, while she herself was nothing.

From this perspective, it is obvious who is more valued.

the most important is.

He Yuzhu stays at the instant noodle factory every day. Lou Xiao'e is also there, Yu Li is also there, and now even her cousin has gone there.

All his women were there, and he was the only one left in the steel mill.

Isn't it obvious that he doesn't care about himself?

But she still wanted to fight for it.

But how can we fight for it?

this moment,

Qin Huairu's heart was filled with sadness and helplessness, and she finally understood why this situation had occurred.

Among these people, although my cousin and Yu Li were married, it didn't seem to have any influence on them.

Only I am different. I have been married and have children, so my starting point is much worse than theirs.

I used to think it was unimportant, but now I realize that I have always cared about it. Otherwise, it would not have been ignored and neglected even after so long.

Look at my cousin who later became a secretary. Doesn’t this prove everything?

The most helpless thing is that this gap is difficult to narrow no matter what.

Even fair treatment is a luxury, so why should I fight for it?

Qin Huairu left in despair.

The world around me seemed to lose its luster and my vision became blurry.

At about nine o'clock in the evening,

He Yuzhu was walking on the road and felt a little surprised when he passed by a familiar street lamp.

I thought Qin Huairu would be waiting for him here, but I didn't see her.

Women’s minds are hard to guess, especially Qin Huairu’s.

He Yuzhu didn't think much and walked straight to the hotel.

the next morning,

He went home as usual and had breakfast with Ran Qiuye and Nian Qiu.

When passing by the door, He Yuzhu saw Yu Haitang there, so he went to the parking lot of the steel rolling mill.

Yu Li was already there, and Qin Jingru was beside her.

Both of them saw him coming and showed happy expressions, as if they were afraid that the other would notice something unusual. They quickly pretended to be calm and didn't even look at him.

He Yuzhu watched the two people's performance and found it quite interesting.

It was obvious that the two were unaware of each other's existence.

It's normal that Yu Li is not aware of the situation.

Qin Jingru had never heard of this matter.

It seems that Qin Huairu did not tell her the truth.

Look at it this way,

He Yuzhu felt that Qin Huairu was a person who was quite capable of keeping secrets. Of course, the premise was that she didn't go too far and do anything dangerous.

Soon after,

Yu Haitang also arrived.

As soon as I got on the car, I saw Qin Jingru sitting inside and was very surprised.

They worked in the same factory and used to meet each other occasionally in the cafeteria.

Yu Haitang knew who she was, but was not familiar with her, so she asked curiously:

“Did you change jobs?”

"Ah."

Qin Jingru's eyes briefly fell on He Yuzhu in the co-pilot seat, and she replied in a low voice: "I went to work in the new office."

What kind of job is that?

Yu Haitang thought about it and could probably guess it.

A typical job in an office is secretary.

Whose secretary?

Considering that He Yuzhu is a man, he must find a male secretary.

It was obvious that she was here to be her sister's secretary.

My sister didn’t have a secretary originally, but now this position was suddenly given to Qin Jingru.

This made Yu Haitang feel a little uncomfortable.

This was the position I had wanted, but I didn't want to take it because I felt weird and uncomfortable working for my sister.

Now that it has been taken away from me, I realize how unwilling I am, and naturally my mood is not much better.

But in front of He Yuzhu, it would be a bad idea to say anything or show any behavior that would damage his image.

“It’s a good job.”

Yu Haitang smiled and nodded, showing encouragement.

But in my heart I was thinking about having a good talk with my sister.

I remember very clearly that Qin Jingru came from the countryside, had not received much education, and could not even recognize basic characters. How could she be qualified for the job of a secretary?

It’s strange. With so many college-graduated girls working in the factory, how could Qin Jingru become a secretary?

Look at her fair and beautiful oval face, it's so pitiful.

While Yu Haitang felt a little jealous, an idea suddenly popped into her mind and she couldn't help but stare at He Yuzhu in a daze.

There won't be something going on between them, right?

Then I thought about it.

Yu Haitang thought this idea was quite funny.

When Liu Lan was a candidate for secretary, she didn't think about these things.

Just because a sexy beauty comes in doesn’t mean she will definitely have something going on with He Yuzhu.

Besides, if there really is something fishy.

The elder sister is very beautiful, and she is also the deputy general manager promoted by He Yuzhu. Isn't it more likely that there is something going on between the two of them? But the reality is that there is nothing going on between them.

Lou Xiao'e also works on the fourth floor.

He still maintains an unclear relationship with He Yuzhu.

How could Yu Haitang not guess these things?

Since his ex-wife Lou Xiao'e is still there, it is naturally impossible for He Yuzhu to have any special relationship with his sister.

Similarly, with Lou Xiao'e by his side, why would He Yuzhu deliberately transfer another woman who was involved with him to under her nose? Wouldn't that be uncomfortable?

So, Yu Haitang thought that this was the reason why Qin Jingru came to be a secretary.

Maybe it’s because he’s an old colleague from the cafeteria.

My sister has been working in the canteen for many years, and Qin Jingru has the same experience. We are familiar with each other and know each other's background, so it is quite appropriate for her to be a secretary.

But then again.

Yu Haitang always believed that she was the most suitable candidate to be a secretary.
