Siheyuan: A warm home with wife and children

That shouldn't be!

Another thing that troubled Yi Zhonghai was Yang Jianguo's wedding and the dinner party.

Tongheju called his coworkers from his own workshop.

The factory leaders have all been arranged, but no one from the courtyard has been included.

What will outsiders think if they find out?

The better Yang Jianguo's reputation, the more successful he will be.

Outsiders would think that there's something wrong with the people in this courtyard.

Or, we could invite all the workers in the workshop.

Living in a compound, how can you not invite your neighbors who you see every day?

Yi Zhonghai grew angrier the more he thought about it, having spent half his life seeking fame and fortune.

Is Yang Jianguo trying to ruin his own reputation?

"This Yang Jianguo is becoming more and more outrageous."

As Yi Zhonghai stepped into the courtyard, he heard a commotion coming from inside.

He frowned and quickened his pace.

As soon as I entered the gate, I saw everyone gathered in the courtyard. "What happened?"

"Uncle, you're back."

"Hey sir, look at the gate of the new country!"

Yi Zhonghai peered through the parted crowd and saw that his blood pressure had risen by more than ten degrees.

Two iron swords hung straight on the door.

Yi Zhonghai was furious, his chest heaving like a bellows, and he roared, "Nonsense!"

These two big locks are like a slap in the face.

The person who was slapped had a painful throbbing sensation on their face!

Of all the families living in the courtyard, not a single one had a lock on.

Who is Yang Jianguo anyway, and who is he trying to protect himself from?

If we call outside, and the neighborhood committee finds out, what will become of the community's reputation?

How can we win honors like "Advanced Collective" and "Mobile Red Flag"?

"I'm saying, there seems to be something fishy going on here, doesn't there?"

"I think so too. I've never seen him put a lock on his house before."

"That is to say, Jian Guo is not a stingy person."

"When I delivered wedding candy earlier, I saw the kids on the way out and gave them a handful of candies—several candies in total. Who would do that?"

"If you ask me, I'd say they've been robbed."

"It looks like it, but I don't know if it's an inside traitor or an outsider."

The whispers around him made Yi Zhonghai's heart sink.

That's the importance of reputation.

Yang Jianguo is now considered a prominent figure in people's minds.

If this happened at another company, it would definitely be criticized relentlessly by a group of people.

But if you have a good reputation, then you'll see...

If something happens, you don't even need to say a word; someone will speak up for you.

Even over the smallest things, these people can shut you down with their words.

Reputation is too important.

Yi Zhonghai was pondering whether he should get involved in the matter or not.

Should we seize this opportunity to eliminate Yang Jianguo?

To curb his momentum and give him a warning?

The most important thing is whether you can hold it down.

A little reprimand should suffice!

"Silly Zhu, the country is locked up."

"Locked? That can't be, right?"

"What do you mean you can't? Look for yourself."

Upon hearing that Sha Zhu had returned, Yi Zhonghai's eyes lit up, and he had an idea.

When Sha Zhu came forward, he saw that the iron gate of Yang Jian's house had been closed.

1. The old man, with a stern face, said in a muffled voice, "Shazhu, do you think this founding of the nation has gone too far?"

“There are only a few households in the middle courtyard, including Auntie One, Auntie Two, Auntie Three, Auntie Zhang, and the old lady.”

"Who is he keeping out of by locking the door? Ah!"

Sha Zhu is kind-hearted and values ​​neighborly relations the most.

Isn't Yang Jianguo's behavior a slap in the face to everyone?

First, the old man simply refused to believe that Sha Zhu could change his nature in a day.

Sure enough, Sha Zhu's face looked strange.

Just then, Xu Damao returned; the scoundrel from the courtyard, he'd arrived.

Tongheju, more than thirty workers, including leading cadres.

In addition to Yingzi's parents, her uncles and aunts who were visiting, there were a total of sixty or seventy people.

It took up most of the hall, and the shop staff were busy preparing for this big customer.

Nowadays, people in their sixties and seventies often go out to eat together.

This is truly a novel idea; even large factories and enterprises don't have this kind of boldness.

If we're having a celebration, we'll have it in the cafeteria and add a couple of dishes.

These are rare good days.

If there were also two kinds of dough... white flour...

Good heavens, this year's New Year is over.

Going to a restaurant? I don't even dare to think about it.

A large round table, which can be spread out to seat nine or ten people.

Apart from the leaders' table, the other tables were crammed with at least fourteen people.

Even Yingzi's parents, uncles, and aunts at the same table were the same.

No matter how Yang Jianguo tried to persuade him, no one listened.

"Jianguo, you don't need to make any more arrangements."

"It's warmer here, so hurry up and call the boss over. Remember to come back and offer him a toast later!"

Yang Jianguo was both amused and exasperated when his father-in-law chased him away.

In the end, they could only lead Yingzi inside.

Chapter 51 Deputy Factory Director Li made a scene in public, showing off his skills.

The leader was sitting alone in the private room, and he had already started drinking.

There was also a roasted lamb leg on the table.

The whole thing is glistening with oil and has a bright orange color; it looks so tempting.

Yang Jianguo brought the roasted lamb leg himself; even at Tongheju, it's not easy to get a lamb leg.

The lamb leg was supported by an iron tray, and a butcher's knife was placed next to it.

It was slightly larger than a fruit knife of later generations, and the tip of the blade was curved.

Chicken, duck, fish, and meat—everything is available.

We were drinking Xinghua Fenjiu, which was poured into a clay pot and placed on a small stove to simmer.

Bubbling and steaming, the aroma filled the private room.

The air was filled with the aroma of wine; even before taking a sip, one felt intoxicated.

Deputy Factory Director Li was delighted!

Today, Yang Jianguo is treating everyone to a meal, but he didn't invite Factory Director Yang; he only invited him.

This is a good thing, it shows that he understands.

In the future, who will ultimately be in charge of this steel rolling mill?

The wind is starting to blow from above.

Although it's just the beginning, it's already setting the tone.

It's good that Yang Jianguo can understand this trend!

In his eyes, he was a talented person.

He has the skills, the ability, and knows how to handle things.

That... has a high level of sensitivity.

Young people like this are worth nurturing.

Furthermore, he has support.

This will make it easier to carry out Deputy Factory Director Li's work, and it will also be beneficial for his future power grab.

Not only did he recruit a talented individual, but he also gained significant support within the factory.

This lays the foundation for a future power grab.

Overjoyed by the triple celebration, Deputy Factory Director Li picked up his wine glass and didn't put it down.

One glass after another, the atmosphere was very lively.

The women delivering the food were all pretty and had delicate features.

"Deputy Factory Director Li, let me toast you again."

When you hold his wrist and urge him to drink, brush your palm across the wine glass.

Blue powder fell into the transparent liquid, and Deputy Factory Director Li looked up.

It's done!

"Ah~" Deputy Factory Director Li exclaimed, grinning.

But he was truly happy inside, shouting, "Jianguo, let's do it again!"

"Please continue drinking. I still have to go outside to offer toasts. I'll come back to join you after I'm done, and we'll drink until we're completely drunk."

Hearing him say that, Deputy Factory Director Li laughed with satisfaction: "Ha, good, that's enough with your words, Jianguo. Go, go!"

After leaving the private room, Yang Jianguo led Yingzi towards the main hall.

"Jianguo, did Deputy Factory Director Li do you a favor?"

Judging from his previous attitude, he was extremely attentive to Deputy Factory Director Li.

Yingzi thought to herself, 'Should I also try to get on his good side?'

Yang Jianguo smiled and said, "It's just that we shouldn't offend them. Come on, let's go toast Mom and Dad."

Upon seeing the new son-in-law, the bride arrived.
