Era: A college student came to the courtyard house

He broke up with Qin Huairu.

After returning to his room, Fang Yuan quickly washed his hands and dried his face, then lay down on the bed in his vest, preparing to take a nap.

As a result, I tossed and turned for ages making pancakes but couldn't fall asleep.

He always felt that something was missing.

Not a woman.

It was a sound.

I used to listen to TV programs to fall asleep, but now there's not a sound in the room at all, so of course I'm not used to it.

It seems that once I've saved up enough industrial vouchers, I'll buy a radio first. No matter how many programs there are, at least I can listen to the masters' crosstalk performances.

Before he knew it, Fang Yuan slowly closed his eyes.

After a long while, I vaguely heard my second uncle's voice again.

Fang Yuan stared blankly, about to open the window to peek out, when his second uncle's voice immediately disappeared.

He stretched, got up, walked to the door, and glanced at his second uncle's house out of the corner of his eye.

Seeing a person standing at the opposite doorway looking up at his house, Fang Yuan noticed him and immediately retreated back into his room.

Fang Yuan understood.

It seems that Deputy Director Guo from the steel rolling mill has already arrived and is currently at Uncle Er's house.

Sure enough, as soon as Fang Yuan returned to his room, his second uncle and his men came knocking on the door.

He still had that "he's number one" attitude, and walked straight into the house without knocking.

Fang Yuan stood still, observing Guo Feng without making a sound.

Wearing a white shirt and black-rimmed glasses, he was nearly fifty years old, with a faint smile on his weathered face, giving off a very polite impression.

This is completely opposite to the temperament of Huang Xiang, the director of their steel rolling mill.

However, one cannot judge a book by its cover. No matter what, Guo Feng is still the deputy director of a branch of Hongxing Steel Plant, a proper deputy division-level figure.

Those who can hold this position are most likely not incompetent or useless.

At the same time, Guo Feng was also observing Fang Yuan as soon as he entered the room.

Seeing Fang Yuan standing confidently in front of him, with no hint of evasion in his eyes, he immediately felt that this young man was not as introverted as Liu Haizhong had described.

"Fang Yuan, let me introduce you. This is Director Guo from our steel rolling mill."

"Hello, Director Guo."

After exchanging greetings, Fang Yuan invited them to sit down and made them each a cup of tea.

"Please forgive us, Deputy Factory Director Guo, for not having good tea."

Fang Yuan handed the cup to Guo Feng. The tea was something the original owner had taken from his older sister's house a long time ago, but the original owner didn't really like drinking it, so he didn't know if it had gone bad.

Hearing Fang Yuan call him deputy factory director, Guo Feng took the teacup with a hint of suspicion, blew on the steam, and took a sip.

Ugh, this really isn't good tea.

He immediately put down the cup without making a sound and decided not to take a second sip.

"We're all acquaintances, so let's not beat around the bush. Xiao Fang, your second uncle is only doing this for your own good. Shall we proceed with this marriage as agreed?"

Seeing that Guo Feng had no intention of speaking first, Liu Haizhong couldn't wait to take the lead.

Fang Yuan didn't respond, but instead asked with a half-smile, "Second Uncle, do you think going to university is difficult?"

Liu Haizhong was taken aback, somewhat puzzled as to why Fang Yuan brought this up. He could only nod, and thinking of how he had missed promotion opportunities several times because of his lack of education, he said with deep empathy, "It's tough. Let alone going to university, even getting into junior high school is difficult."

Fang Yuan then pressed on, "Then you should also know that I finally got into university and I've already started working."

"Yes, of course I know."

Fang Yuan had now seized the initiative in the conversation and continued, "Since that's the case, why should I agree to this marriage? I've just graduated and it's time for me to contribute to society. I really don't have time to talk about personal matters right now."

"This...this is because you don't have any elders in your family, and your second uncle is worried about you."

Uncle Er was rebuked, his face turned red, sweat began to bead on his forehead, and he stammered as he spoke.

What a silver tongue!

Compared to his second uncle, Guo Feng showed no reaction at all, as if he wasn't the one being rejected at all.

During this time, he also glanced around at the surroundings of Fang Yuan's home.

a long time.

Guo Feng first instructed the second uncle, "Master Liu, have you finished writing your personal materials? Why don't you go and get them now, so I can take them back and take a look?"

Liu Haizhong understood that Guo Feng was trying to get rid of him, but he was very reluctant to leave. Once he left this door, it would mean that he had messed up the matter, and no matter what the outcome was, it would be none of his business.

In the end, under Guo Feng's watchful eye, Liu Haizhong had no choice but to obediently walk out.

With one less person in the room, the atmosphere immediately eased considerably.

"Xiao Fang, do you mind if I call you that?"

Fang Yuan shook his head, naturally not minding.

His expectation was to resolve the matter without turning hostile.

"Why..."

Guo Feng first made a show of sighing, and then began to preach at length.

"Little Fang, I've seen plenty of young people like you."

"Some people think they are full of talent and can achieve great things just because they have read a few books."

"Actually, compared to university life, starting work after entering society is far from as simple as you imagine. In fact, for many ambitious people, it is a very painful thing."

"I admit that you college students know a lot of things, but no matter how high your academic qualifications are, you still have to eat one bite at a time."

"Xiao Fang, I'm getting on in years. I've spent most of my life in the steel mill. I know quite a few people in Hongxing, and even in the ministry. I'm also familiar with many leaders at your school. I guarantee that once you come to our Zhou family, I'll pave the way for your future."

I don't believe you for a second. You old geezer, you're really bad. Every word you say seems caring, but in reality, every word is a threat.

However, Fang Yuan believed Guo Feng's words rather much. After all, as the deputy director of the steel rolling mill, it was normal for him to have some connections in the steel system. But the more Fang Yuan believed him, the stranger the matter seemed to be.

If what Guo Feng said is true, his daughter would never be able to find a partner from a family like Fang Yuan's.

Even if he is a college student, there are so many second-generation rich kids out there. It would be more practical to find someone who can help each other and become in-laws, rather than Fang Yuan.

Having figured out the key point, Fang Yuan replied calmly, "Director Guo, you know my family situation, and I know my own character. I am really not worthy of your family. Moreover, you really don't need to worry about my work. I am already working at Hongxing Steel Plant."

"Um?"

Is this an intelligence error?

Upon hearing Fang Yuan say that he was already working at Hongxing Steel Plant, Guo Feng immediately wished he could drag Liu Haizhong in and torture him.

"You're already working at our Hongxing Steel Plant? Which department and branch plant are you in?"

Faced with Guo Feng's questioning, Fang Yuan replied with a smile, "It's not that Master Liu didn't know; it's just that I didn't tell the people in the yard. I've been working in the factory office for several days now."

"You must be aware of the incident where the steel mill assaulted a newspaper reporter, right? I just met with your factory director, Mr. Huang, this morning."

Upon hearing this, Guo Feng immediately stood up, knowing that Fang Yuan was absolutely telling the truth.

It's obvious that I work in the factory office.

Moreover, given that he was one of the people in the know about this matter, Fang Yuan must have been involved as well.

Guo Feng no longer needed to look at his subordinates; he turned his gaze to Fang Yuan.

At the same time, he knew that this marriage was going to be difficult.
