Siheyuan: A warm home with wife and children

A typical Northern girl—straightforward and bold!

To be honest, he's a practical person.

But some things can't be calculated that way.

If someone wants to eat a pear, you insist on giving them two apples.

They also have to instill in people the grand principle that "apples are better than pears".

That's not how things are done, is it?

Yi Zhonghai was pondering this, and so was Sha Zhu.

The old man seemed relieved when he heard that something had happened to him.

Sha Zhu scratched his head, still not understanding.

He can't possibly lie to me about this, can he?

As for the others, they are handsome, have regular features, and are good at bearing children.

He was a farm laborer for three generations, but he was still an employee.

It's pretty good, isn't it?

Sha Zhu couldn't figure it out, and when he looked up, he saw Yang Jianguo standing at the workshop entrance.

He and the foremen in the workshop are inspecting the batch of materials that have been delivered!

"Jianguo."

Sha Zhu ran a couple of steps, and only when he got closer did he say, "Busy?"

Yang Jianguo smiled and said, "It's not busy, just the procedures in the passageway."

"Can I ask you something?"

Sha Zhu mysteriously pulled him aside and told him what had happened.

"What do you mean by him breathing a sigh of relief?" Sha Zhu didn't understand.

Yang Jianguo thought about it for a moment and understood immediately.

Wordplay has been thoroughly exploited by netizens.

Yi Zhonghai's thoughts are impossible to hide.

Looking at Sha Zhu again, Yang Jianguo felt that the words "You're quite upright" were a bit insulting.

Another concern is that he might not understand and take it as a compliment, which would require a lot of effort to explain to him later.

Silly Zhu, you're so stubborn, you really believe me.

He can always interpret anything you say in a positive light. If you don't confront him directly, he'll happily accept all your sarcastic remarks.

Just take it as a compliment!

With a slightly strange expression, Yang Jianguo pointed outside and said, "Master He, look at that woman."

"I told you to call him Zhu Zi." Sha Zhu shouted first, then turned his head to look outside.

"What do you think of her? Give me your opinion." - Yang Jianguo

This put Sha Zhu in a bit of a dilemma.

Asking him to tell the truth would be ugly.

But they were all factory workers, and Sha Zhu, who had his brain opened, felt that he couldn't be so innocent.

His mind raced, and then a brilliant idea struck him—Shazhu had it.

"This girl is quite nice, with regular features, and look at her smile, so generous and open..."

Sha Zhu jumped up and walked out with a "Hey~" sound.

"Jianguo, I'm leaving now. I'll treat you to drinks tonight."

Remembering that he had to cook for the big boss, he turned around and called out, "But I'll be late. I'll come find you when I get back to the compound."

Yang Jianguo remained silent, nodded, and watched him hurry towards the fitter's workshop.

Sha Zhu's brain is getting sharper and sharper the more he uses it.

It wasn't just a flash of inspiration; Sha Zhu figured everything out on the way.

This guy has perfectly proportioned features and looks so natural, but he's a total jerk.

As for the last one—have children!

It's probably used to describe someone who is 'very strong', right?

Yi Zhonghai, oh Yi Zhonghai, you're really something!

I'm being completely open with you right here, and you're playing tricks on me again?

When they arrived at the workshop, Sha Zhu's anger subsided by half.

He knew perfectly well that the old man was suffering from a mental illness and had relapsed into his old habits.

Although I made a promise to him, when it came to actual action...

When you try to make a change, it just keeps popping up again.

Without making a fuss, they invited the old man to come to the side.

Sha Zhu laid his cards on the table and talked to him frankly.

"The girl has disappeared, sir. I'm telling you this from the bottom of my heart!"

"The blind date should be someone who is not quite like Widow Qin or Jianguo's wife, but at least not much different in appearance."

"You need to be more upright and generous with me again."

Sha Zhu grinned and waved his hand, saying, "Just pretend I didn't say anything about what we talked about before."

"I don't want you to go through the trouble of blind dates. We can live our own lives."

Without waiting for Yi Zhonghai to speak, he turned and swayed away.

He started thinking about which potential partner to ask to help him find a wife.

Or, how about we find a matchmaker?

Wasn't Jianguo's wife arranged by a matchmaker?

The more Sha Zhu thought about it, the more right he became.

No, we'll have to trouble Jianguo with this.

If I have the chance, I'll bring the leftovers back with me when I get home tonight.

The family of a high-ranking leader must be eating lavishly.

Then we'll bring out the wine and have a couple of drinks with him.

I need him to introduce me to Aunt Liu.

Why not go by yourself?

Sha Zhu does want to go.

But ever since Yang Jianguo was introduced to Yingzi, Aunt Liu's "schedule" has skyrocketed.

Nowadays, it would probably take a hundred or so photos.

When it's his turn, it'll be ages before he gets around to it.

But if Yang Jianguo were to introduce her, adding another layer of connection, she would definitely take it seriously.

Sha Zhu knew in his heart that he couldn't compare to Jianguo.

When the time comes, don't mention someone like Jianguo's wife.

Find one that's about the same, and that will do.

The more he thought about it, the more plausible it seemed, and Sha Zhu started grinning like an idiot again.

In the afternoon, Sha Zhu carried an empty lunchbox and walked towards the factory gate.

I made an appointment with Director Yang to wait for him here after work.

drip~

The car arrived, and Zhuzi happily moved aside.

His smile froze as soon as the car stopped.

Then, in surprise, she asked, "Jianguo, what are you doing on the bus!"

Yang Jianguo joked, "If you're going to cook, someone has to eat, right?"

Sha Zhu got into the car and greeted Director Yang first.

He then laughed and said, "Oh~ so I'm cooking for you? You should have said so earlier. If you wanted to eat, I would have made it for you in the yard."

“I’m afraid you can’t bring out your full potential. I’ll try it today first, and then we’ll use this standard from now on.”

Hearing him say that, Sha Zhu laughed.

"Just you wait and see! But you'll have to provide the materials, I can't afford to host a banquet for a big leader."

Yang Jianguo laughed: "Don't worry, I'll make sure you don't suffer any losses."

Look, that's all there is to him.

Chapter Ninety-Three: Finally Meeting the Big Boss, Giving Him a Lesson?

Upon arriving at the villa, a car was parked at the entrance, where the secretary was already waiting.

After exchanging greetings, Director Yang led the two men inside, following his secretary.

"Big leaders appreciate genuine personalities; never try to show off in front of them."

The two nodded, which was considered an agreement.

Walking along the corridor to the living room, halfway there, Sha Zhu asked someone to take him to the kitchen.

Seeing the two figures continuing forward, Shazhu felt a little envious.

When will I be able to become a guest of honor of high-ranking leaders? Hey~

After passing through the small screen door, Yang Jianguo finally met the big boss in person.

Gentle and refined, with a kind and benevolent face.

When he speaks, his tone varies in speed, but it always carries a friendly and peaceful quality.

He is a leader with great personal charisma, approachability, and ability to unite people.

Following someone like that makes you feel very secure and at ease.

Unconsciously, I wanted to get close to him and believed every word he said.

Indeed, those who become high-ranking leaders are not simple!

"Jianguo, is it a bit presumptuous of me to call you that?" The high-ranking leader offered tea, and the small talk finally came to an end.

Yang Jianguo smiled modestly and said, "How could that be? I felt close to you the moment I saw you."

"Haha, that's great, it means we're very destined for each other."

"Yes, I think so too."

The senior leader nodded and looked at Director Yang: "I remember you said last time that Jianguo smokes, so you two don't need to be polite."

"Bring me an ashtray," the senior leader instructed his secretary.

Factory Director Yang laughed and said, "Sir, I've given it all up."

Yang Jianguo then said, "No need to trouble yourself, I'm not addicted to cigarettes, it doesn't matter whether I smoke or not."

"Oh."

The senior leader looked at him curiously, "Since it's fine whether you smoke or not, why do you still smoke?"

Yang Jianguo stood up straight and said, "The occasion requires it. Everyone else is smoking, and if I don't, it will make the other comrades feel uncomfortable."
