Siheyuan: A warm home with wife and children

"You said it was one cup, but you didn't say how big the cup would be," Huaihua complained, her head down and her face full of reluctance.

Her clever tricks got her punished by her mother, and she won't even get a small cup of wine.

"Alright, let her have a taste, and let's all have a toast." Yang Jianguo raised his glass, and Qin Huairu naturally wouldn't refuse him.

He glared at the clever girl and poured her a small bowl.

"cheers."

Nourishing~

He tilted his head back and drank it all, then Yan Jiecheng filled his own cup.

Nourishing~

Another glass was downed, then the cup was filled to the brim.

Before anyone could even take a couple of bites of food, he had already drunk seven or eight cups of wine.

Sha Zhu saw this and snatched the bottle away, saying, "You bastard Yan Jiecheng, you've almost finished drinking it all."

Yang Jianguo said with a smile, "Yingzi, bring me my two bottles of wine."

Then he said to Yan Jiecheng, "Jiecheng, drink slowly. The saying 'drinking to drown one's sorrows' is all about the process and the mood. If you drink like this, you'll just go black and wake up with more sorrows."

Chapter 425 Each side makes its own calculations and sets up its signboard

Worry is the thing that Yan Jiecheng is least afraid of now.

He's been worrying about this for months, why would he worry about it not happening now?

"If you really want what's best for me, let me have a few more drinks, and don't worry about me."

Judging from his expression, it's pointless to say anything now.

Yang Jianguo asked Yingzi to give him the wine, then opened a bottle and placed it in front of him: "This bottle is yours."

Yan Jiecheng looked at him for several seconds, then picked up his drink and said, "Thank you, Jianguo."

The lovestruck fool wanted to drown his sorrows in alcohol, only wishing to get himself completely drunk.

The others, however, continued chatting and laughing, seemingly unaffected by his behavior.

Having finally caught Yang Jianguo free, they had a lot to ask him.

"Jianguo, your Uncle Liu wants to start an electronics factory. Are you capable of that?"

Aunt Liu thought about this matter over and over for many days.

In previous years, Da Liu had been tinkering with radios, and in recent years he has taken on even more creative projects.

He can tinker with any electrical appliance, not just radios.

They can even fix a large TV; their skills are truly exceptional.

But suddenly he wanted to start an electronics factory and invest all the family's money in it.

Aunt Liu was scared!

You said that he is disabled in both legs and will never recover in this lifetime.

My youngest daughter is still in school, and we'll need to spend money on her wedding later.

She also needs to save some money for their retirement. Da Liu has difficulty moving around, and his future expenses will be greater than those of an average person.

What will they do if they lose money?

Yes, the daughter is filial.

But I can't just drag my daughter down with me!

Besides, everyone has their own life, with a husband and children.

For a day or two, they treated you like their own father and mother.

Over time, will things still be the same?

Putting yourself in her shoes, if it were Aunt Liu herself, she would definitely feel resentful.

You can't lose your temper with your father-in-law, or you'll have to take it out on the man.

If her daughter's life is made difficult because of her and Da Liu, how can she feel good about it?

"Your Uncle Liu is just a stubborn mule, no matter how I try to persuade him, he won't listen."

"I just wanted to ask you to see if it's feasible and if there's any possibility of making money."

Seeing Aunt Liu's expectant gaze, Yang Jianguo affirmed, "As long as you manage it well, you can make money doing anything now."

"The current domestic market is in its infancy; everything is new and lacks circulation."

"To give a simple example, if someone picks up goods from the north and south that were sold in the past, they can still make money now."

"Uncle Liu wants to start an electronics factory. It's difficult, but the prospects are even greater."

"If we can get it done well, not only will we make money in the future, but we might also achieve great things!"

Yang Jianguo was very optimistic about this, saying that Liu was an honest man with excellent skills.

As long as he puts in the effort, he will definitely achieve great things.

However, Yang Jianguo still gave Aunt Liu a few special instructions.

Once the factory is up and running, the first thing to do is find a lawyer.

It must be professional and from a reputable brand; don't skimp on this aspect.

Lawyers are not just for fighting cases; a good lawyer can avoid countless risks and troubles.

This is the greatest value of a lawyer; litigation is a secondary matter.

A truly good lawyer will mitigate all risks before even starting a collaboration.

"I'll listen to you. I'll tell your Uncle Liu when I get back." Aunt Liu nodded in agreement and kept his words in mind.

"Master, is our steel rolling mill also about to undergo restructuring?"

Qin Huairu was concerned about the restructuring of the steel rolling mill.

Yang Jianguo thought for a moment and said, "The steel rolling mill is currently operating very well. Besides, it is a key project, unlike ordinary factories."

"If nothing unexpected happens, there shouldn't be any restructuring later on."

Hearing her say that, Qin Huairu didn't know whether to feel disappointed or relieved.

"By the way, how's Xiao Dang's work going?"

Hearing his question, Qin Huairu smiled and said, "She's doing incredibly well now."

Xiao Dang and Sha Zhu opened a restaurant together and brought back the fried dough twists that had gone to the south.

Give him 15% of the shares and let him be the resident chef at the hotel.

Sha Zhu would help out at the restaurant whenever he had free time, and Xiao Dang did the same; their business was booming.

"They've put up a sign saying 'The No. 1 Restaurant in the Government'." Sha Zhu has a lot to say about this.

He proudly gave a thumbs-up and said, "We learned how to cook official cuisine, and this is what we make, so the name is just right."

"Nowadays, our First Restaurant is a well-known name in the capital."

"Many people come here specifically to treat us to meals."

Qin Huairu smiled and chimed in, "Yes, many people come here because of Zhu Zi's cooking skills."

Ran Qiuye interjected, "We have to thank the big leader for the recommendation. If it weren't for the leader of the National People's Congress, where would we get so many banquets?"

Sha Zhu grinned and nodded with a silly smile: "That's true, we have to thank the big boss."

"In my life, I have met many benefactors, but I must say who has helped me the most."

Sha Zhu turned the wine glass in his hand toward Yang Jianguo and said, "Jianguo, you have to be number one."

Yang Jianguo didn't say anything, but raised his glass and clinked it with his, sizzling sound~

Dry!

"The second one has to be the big leader. Without his care over the years, how could I, He Yuzhu, be where I am today?"

Sha Zhu's words came from the bottom of his heart; there was no exaggeration in them.

Why does he respect Yang Jianguo and listen to him and the big leader?

These two people had a huge impact on his life.

If he hadn't been enlightened back then, Shazhu himself wouldn't know what he would be like now.

But he was certain that those days wouldn't have been this good.

As for the top leader, if it weren't for him, he might still be working in the steel mill, cooking for everyone!

They might open a small restaurant, but they'd only make a pittance.

Unlike now, they've opened a grand restaurant and even named it "The Number One Restaurant in the Capital".

If it weren't for the support of a high-ranking leader, could an ordinary person have achieved that title?

Besides, those banquets held at the restaurant are all for the sake of the person who is the private chef of a high-ranking official.

Even a fool like Zhu understands; he's perfectly clear-headed!

The reason I brought this up today is because we all understand this in our hearts, and I felt compelled to speak out.

In the blink of an eye, more than 20 years have passed.

Looking back, there were many people and many things.

I miss both the good and the bad times.

“Our Master He even reminisced about the past, acting like he’s in his seventies or eighties.”

Yang Jianguo deliberately joked, then raised his glass again and said, "Alright, let's drink to the past."

"If we can still sit together twenty years from now, that would be truly wonderful."

Chapter 426 Job Adjustment, Leadership Team Issues

After eating and drinking their fill, everyone dispersed.

Yang Jianguo helped take Sha Zhu to the other side of the street. Ran Qiuye scolded him, half-laughing and half-crying, "You drink too much as soon as you start. I should have locked you out."

Despite her words, she was the one who truly felt the pain of being locked out.

Ran Qiuye was well aware of Sha Zhu's kindness towards her.

How could she not cherish her own man?

"Okay, I'm going back now. Get some rest."

After putting him on the bed, Yang Jianguo turned and went back into the room, where Yingzi had already prepared water for him.

"Go wash up quickly, don't let the water get cold."

Yingzi gave him a change of clothes, but Yingzi shoved them into her arms and pushed them away.

Yang Jianguo took her hand and laughed, "It's such a waste for one person to wash like this."

Yingzi blushed and said, "Stop fooling around, you're a grown-up."

"No matter how old you are, you're still a person. An old married couple should be even more loving. Besides, we should be thrifty and manage our household well."

Half-heartedly, the two of them went into the side room together.

What a wild night!

The next day, Yang Jianguo went to his workplace to report for duty.

After three regular meetings, I was exhausted from sitting, but my mind was still very clear.

"Jianguo, wait a minute." Xiang Shaodong hurried a few steps to catch up with him.

"Jianguo, what do you think of the organization's previous suggestions?"

Yang Jianguo glanced at him and said, "That's good. The leader is right. No matter how busy I am, I can't finish it all by myself."
