Siheyuan: Rebirth of He Yuzhu, God of Cooking starts

"Before, we had a drink and a meal together because of the steel mill order. He was just a deputy section chief."

Chen Xueru said: "Dad, I have made an appointment with him. He will come to my house tomorrow to cook delicious food for me!"

Chen Gensheng agreed: "Well, it is important to have a good relationship with him."

"Based on Lou Zhenhua's initiative to give up control of the steel mill, and some rumors, I think the merger of the companies will probably come true soon."

Chen Xueru exclaimed: "Dad, why do you say that?"

Chen Gensheng explained: "Although you are very talented in this area, you are still young and don't understand the complex political operations involved."

"This merger of steel mills is to show everyone, and it can be regarded as a preliminary test. Within three to five years, if the cooperation is effective, it will be implemented nationwide."

"This person, He Yuzhu, is not ordinary. Even if he is talented, he would not be promoted so quickly if there is no one above him."

"In three to five years, his potential will be limitless. If we make friends with him, the Chen family may be able to gain an extra connection in the future, which can be useful at a critical moment."

Chen Xueru: "I know. My father taught me these principles."

"More friends mean more options, especially for us businessmen, investment in personal connections is also indispensable."

Chen Gensheng was full of praise for his precious daughter. She was born with the qualities of a businessman, which was in stark contrast to his sons who were not doing their jobs properly. Perhaps she should be in charge of the Chen family's business in the future, otherwise his sons would sooner or later squander the family fortune.

Just as the father and daughter were talking, a group of people suddenly broke in from outside the door.

"Who are you?" Chen Gensheng looked kind but didn't show it to others. But now his tone had turned sharp.

"Boss Chen, it's indeed a bit rude of you to visit me without permission." The man responded, seeming to have some concerns.

"Hmph, I guess there's no need for us to get to know each other." Chen Gen said angrily.

Then, the man's temperament became serious, "Boss Chen, you should be familiar with this."

When he saw the jade pendant, Chen Gensheng's face darkened.

"These are my eldest son's things, how did they end up in your hands?" he asked.

The man replied, "Boss Chen, your son once owed us money on credit, and now the accumulated amount is huge. What do you think about this matter..."

Then he handed over an IOU.

"Store?" Chen Gensheng was puzzled. "I think it's more like an illegal transaction."

"In this new era, gambling and trafficking are prohibited. Your business is not a legitimate industry, right?"

The leader laughed and covered it up by saying, "Don't get me wrong, Boss Chen, we are just running an ordinary catering business. This is the fee your eldest son paid for dining somewhere else."

Chen Gensheng knew very well that this was an excuse. How could there be such a huge amount of consumption on food and beverage?

Besides, his eldest son is now in their hands. In the inheritance structure dominated by offspring, the status of the eldest son is particularly important.

If the money is really given, the Chen family will suffer heavy losses.

"I don't have any cash." He refused their offer.

"Mr. Chen, I'll give you one day to prepare. By this time tomorrow, if I still can't get those accounts..."

"Your son, I really can't guarantee his safety!"

After the group of people left, Chen Xueru panicked: "Dad, what should I do now?"

"That guy, I consider him as a good-for-nothing son."

Chen Xueru comforted her father: "Dad, don't be so angry, and don't let the family's dirty laundry be aired in public."

At this time, several ladies from the Chen Mansion walked in.

"My Lord, what happened?"

Chen Gensheng responded calmly: "It's no big deal, everyone go back to your rooms."

Despite their doubts, the ladies still obeyed the orders obediently. Although their marriages were nominally over, they actually still lived in the Chen family.

"Dad, should we call the police for help?"

"No, then my eldest son might not come back."

"But Dad, if we really gave them that money, our family business might be affected in the future."

"And have you ever thought about this? This is equivalent to turning our family into a piece of fat meat that everyone covets. How will we deal with the troubles that come one after another?"

Chen Gensheng waved his hand to signal for him to calm down and think: "I need to calm down for a while and think about it myself."

Although Chen Xueru and her elder brother were not born of the same mother and they had a family relationship, she was unwilling to sacrifice the Chen family to rescue her brother. She suddenly remembered He Yuzhu, the security chief, who had weapons and protection abilities, and he might be able to help the Chen family.

Chen Xueru, who was quick and decisive in her work, was determined to take the risk alone even though it was almost evening. She quietly left home, got on her bicycle, and headed towards the steel mill.

Because she remembered that He Yuzhu had mentioned at Lou's house that there would be a duty mission tonight!

When He Yuzhu returned to the factory, the sound of his motorcycle gradually got closer, and the people in the security room knew it was him as soon as they heard it - he was the only one in the factory who could drive this motorcycle.

"Zhao Jianshe, why are you here?"

"Chief, where else can I go besides here?"

He Yuzhu joked: "You should spend more time with your future wife, watching movies and visiting parks!"

Zhao Jianshe cleared his cough and hurriedly explained: "Ahem, Chief, please stop making up stories. I'm not a bad person. Why would I go to the park at night?"

He Yuzhu was puzzled by Zhao Jianshe's behavior. A person who often went to such places looked like a very innocent boy.

“Is the person pretty?”

“What do you mean?”

He Yuzhu asked again: "Is the person who proposed marriage to you pretty?"

Zhao Jianshe scratched his head and grinned, "It's pretty!"

"So when are you going to marry her?"

In today's society, it is very common to get engaged shortly after meeting each other!

"I'll visit her family on my day off and if things go well, we can set a date."

"Go find Sun Hongsheng and ask him to help you arrange accommodation."

"Chief, housing is very important. I have to express my gratitude to Director Sun."

He Yuzhu said: "Don't be too extravagant. Director Sun is a man who looks at people's faces and moods. Since I am your head of personnel and the person in charge of logistics, he will naturally give us face!"

"I'll go to the cafeteria and get some good food. When Group 2 takes over at midnight, how about we celebrate?"

"Okay, I'll go inform Dalong (probably referring to Zhao Jianshe's friend), the section chief wants you to have a drink!"

"Let's go. There's plenty of wine and meat there, but don't show off. Let's enter the village unnoticed and keep a low profile." He Yuzhu said as he went to the cafeteria, but in fact he quietly slipped back to the office.

“Standing is worse than sitting, and sitting is worse than lying down.”

Wait until midnight, use your emotion points to exchange for some cooked food to satisfy your cravings, and a few bottles of good wine!
