Siheyuan: A warm home with wife and children

"Director Yang, this is a note for you. You can take it next door and get it stamped."

After taking the slip of paper from the logistics department, Yang Jianguo glanced at it and nodded, saying, "Thank you for your help."

"What a hassle! You did a fantastic job." The man gave a thumbs-up, his face full of admiration.

He was deeply moved; he truly had no intention of using this for personal gain!

He handed over the seafood that someone had given him as a gift.

Once word gets out, who will still come to his door with gifts?

Even if you wanted to collect them, you had nowhere to do so; you've blocked your own path.

This Director Yang is really something else.

After all these years, this is the first time I've ever seen anything like it.

It’s just that!

After getting the stamp from the next office, Yang Jianguo went back to work.

He has finished reviewing all the materials and plans to go to the organization office to ask if all the necessary personnel for the project have arrived.

As for Neon Seiko, Yang Jianguo also intends to continue to make contact.

Why not get in touch? He's such a good person!

Not only did he send him small yellow croakers, but he also made him hand them over to generate foreign exchange.

They also want to invite him to visit his "hometown," as Yang Jianguo still has quite a few "cards" in his warehouse that he hasn't used yet!

Something like 'keen observation', an upgraded version of 'insight card'.

Other features include 'concentration,' 'weakness detection,' 'data-driven perspective,' and 'photographic memory.'

Yang Jianguo is saving all those precious cards for the future!

Yang Jianguo, just like Jiang Taigong, had been sitting by the lake for a long time.

We're just waiting for a fish to bite!

Sure enough, the waves on the lake had barely calmed down when a fish 'thumped' and took the bait.

Yang Jianguo must be regretting it to death for missing such a good opportunity.

"Come on, come on, come on all at once!" Humming a little tune, Yang Jianguo couldn't wait for more fish to take the bait.

Don't bring small yellow croakers next time.

Be bold, get a whole box of fresh seafood, stuff it full of big yellow croakers.

660 yuan in foreign exchange, that's a small contribution, not satisfying at all!

Without stopping, Yang Jianguo ran to several offices and even went out once.

Only then did he finalize the selection of all the personnel responsible for the projects in his office.

I had just arrived at the entrance of my workplace and was thinking of riding my bike home.

Director Zhang Chao, who was waiting at the door, stopped him, saying, "Jianguo, we've been waiting for you."

Upon seeing him, Yang Jianguo was somewhat surprised: "Director Yang, what brings you here?"

"Oh dear, aren't we waiting for you?" The head of the department grabbed his wrist and said urgently, "Jianguo, you have to help me this time."

"Don't rush, let's talk about it over there." As he led him away from the entrance of the unit, the director also began to explain his own difficulties.

exhibition!

This matter proved to be far more difficult than he had anticipated, despite his initial belief that Yang Jianguo had a plan or solution in place.

You can just push it down by yourself, but once you get the hang of it...

There are so many difficulties!

The product selection application process alone has already put him in a difficult position, determining which products can be submitted and which cannot.

Will it cause any negative impact? Will your pots and pans affect how foreigners perceive us?

After all, the current situation is not so clear.

Although the storm has passed, the next steps will only be decided by higher authorities in a few months.

Only then can those below see clearly.

Before this, everyone was trembling with fear, afraid of making a mistake by accident.

If I were to be defeated again, it would be far more painful than before.

Very few can withstand it.

Therefore, when the chief director's application was submitted, many people were afraid of taking responsibility and dared not make a decision!

"Didn't you tell the higher-ups?"

Yang Jianguo was surprised. This matter was supported by the top leader. Why don't you just go directly to the top leader?

Even if you wait here for me, I can't stamp your document or make a decision!

"Sigh, the factory manager said we can't go to the leaders for everything. They're so busy, wouldn't that just be adding to their troubles?"

That makes sense; we can't expect the leaders to solve everything.

If you can't beat someone, you tell their parents. Only kids do that.

If someone does too much work, people will start to question their abilities.

"People's livelihood is a major issue. I don't think these products will damage our image. On the contrary, they can help the outside world have a clearer understanding of our country."

"We are finding a way out in a down-to-earth and unwavering manner, we are..."

Seeing the director standing there in a daze, Yang Jianguo said bluntly, "What are you standing there for? Take notes!"

"Ah, right, right, wait a minute, I brought a notebook with me."

The head of the department took out his notebook and wrote down what Yang Jianguo had said in a messy, illegible hand.

"When you get back, type up this report."

"We must emphasize the spirit of being eager to contribute and being positive and proactive."

"Why would a steel rolling mill do this? Isn't it to introduce new technologies, let foreigners understand us, and incidentally generate foreign exchange?"

"Remember, the words 'foreign exchange' must never be forgotten; they must be mentioned repeatedly."

These two words will possess immense power for the next twenty years.

In the end, it even reached the point of madness, leading to many wrong practices and ideas.

But looking back, if it weren't for this period of frenzied development...

There would have been no rapid development later on, let alone its booming growth...

Advantages and disadvantages, gains and losses, have always been inseparable twins.

"Okay, I understand what you mean." Looking at the messy handwriting on the notebook, which was almost illegible to myself.

The chief editor made numerous revisions and added additional annotations.

While he still remembers it, we must quickly correct it and make it clear.

If we wait until he gets back and takes a look, who can understand this 'heavenly book'?

After glancing at the time, Yang Jianguo said, "That's settled then. If anything comes up later, you can have Zhang Chao come over to the house, or have Qin Huairu pass on a message."

"If I can help, I'll write down my ideas and have them passed on to you, so you won't have to keep running around like this."

The chief minister slapped his thigh as he listened, "Hey, it's all thanks to you, Jianguo. If only you were still here."

Director Yang was filled with emotion at this moment, thinking how much more he wished Jianguo were still working at the factory.

He's definitely in charge of this, and it might have already been approved and preparations are officially underway.

Why would I need to do this myself, making a special trip to ask for help?

Look at his abilities, writing a report.

After the chief inspector reviewed it again, he concluded that the matter was probably settled.

That's what real ability is! This is real ability!

Chapter 275 Arguing, Liu Haizhong Cuts Off His Own Way Out

When I got home by bike, Yingzi was already cooking.

I worked in the food factory for over ten years and was previously an activist.

He made significant contributions to the factory during this special period, earning everyone's respect and trust through his performance.

It played a crucial role in stabilizing the situation at the food factory.

All of these factors combined led her to a junior leadership position.

These days, when people see him outside, they have to call him 'Director Li'.

Because they are principled and conscientious in their work.

Yingzi's position as director is a lucrative one, mainly responsible for the procurement of raw materials and the distribution of products.

She took on both lucrative positions, and she really intended to hold them for several years.

Buying a car, a house, a color TV, and a refrigerator are all within reach.

"You're back early today. Is everything alright at the factory?" Yang Jianguo put the bag of bricks on the table and casually splashed water on the washstand to wipe himself.

Yingzi flipped the vegetables with a spatula in front of the stove and replied, "It's only busy in the days after the New Year. Prices won't change in the second half of the year, so we won't be too busy even if we don't change suppliers."

“That’s good.” Yang Jianguo thought for a moment and said, “If the situation becomes clearer this year, we’ll go out for a trip.”

Having lived here for over ten years, Yang Jianguo has never been anywhere except around Beijing.

He himself didn't care, as he had been traveling all over the place in his previous life.

But wives and children are different.

Go outside more often, see the world, broaden your horizons, and relax!

"Can you spare the time?" Yingzi wanted to, but then she thought about the nature of his job.

This transfer was just completed; wasn't it said that he would be in charge of some new project?

For the next six months or so, I'll be so busy I won't have a moment to rest.

I'd rather go out for a stroll; I'd be grateful if I could just see him at home.

Yang Jianguo was speechless and could only manage a wry smile after his wife's barrage of criticism.

Believe it or not, she was right.

"Well, check if the kids have finished preparing their summer vacation projects. If not, we might be able to spare a few days."

How long it will take for the project team to get everything ready depends on the department's arrangements.

If I have any free time, I'll definitely go out this time.

"Okay, we'll talk about it later." Yingzi didn't want to put pressure on him, so she went out to the middle courtyard to call the two little ones to come for dinner.

Today, Zhiyuan lives in the old house, and Zhiyi lives in the side room.

The two of them have their own room, with a desk, bed, and cabinets.

It's also convenient to take a shower. Zhiyi uses the shower over there by herself, while Zhiyuan takes a shower in the main house in the backyard.

The child is grown up now.

He was unwilling to go to Zhiyi's room to take a bath.

When Yingzi returned with the children, Zhiyuan asked first, "Dad, are we going to the public bathhouse tomorrow? I need to get a scrub."

Yang Jianguo thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay, I'll take you there tomorrow morning."

"If you need anything, I can go by myself," Zhiyuan replied, head down.

That brat, he's getting more and more capable as he grows up.

"Okay, let's split up and get him two bath tickets."
