Siheyuan: I am different He Yuzhu

"Knock, knock, knock..." He Yuzhu, who was thinking about how to improve Honggang's experience, was interrupted by a sudden knock on the door. He frowned and felt a little annoyed, but still took a deep breath and said to the outside of the door: "Come in."

As soon as he finished speaking, the door slowly opened, and Liu Weijie walked into He Yuzhu's office with the documents printed out from the data room. He carefully placed the documents on He Yuzhu's desk and said softly, "Director He, this is the document you requested. It has been printed. Please take a look."

He Yuzhu nodded and picked up the document to check it carefully. As he flipped through the document, he thought about the details and feasibility. After confirming that there was no problem, he put the document down, waved to Liu Weijie, and said, "Director Liu, it's okay, you can go back first!"

However, Liu Weijie did not turn around and leave as usual, but stood in front of He Yuzhu's desk with an expression that seemed to be hesitant to speak. Seeing this, He Yuzhu looked up curiously, looked at Liu Weijie, and asked in confusion: "What's wrong, Director Liu, is there something wrong with you?"

Liu Weijie hesitated for a moment, but finally mustered up the courage to say, "Director He, I want to tell you something, but I don't know if I should say it or not."

He Yuzhu frowned slightly and motioned Liu Weijie to continue. Liu Weijie took a deep breath and said, "Director He, after the document you wrote was printed in the data room, I took a look at it while checking whether there were any mistakes in the data room. I want to register my two children in advance." After saying this, Liu Weijie felt relieved.

After listening to Fan Youxiang's words, He Yuzhu looked at Liu Weijie with curiosity and asked, "Director Liu, after you left yesterday, when I talked about this with Deputy Director Fan, Deputy Director Fan was worried that no one would want to come to the project I promoted. Why did you take the initiative to sign up your child? Can you tell me your reasons? I want to hear the truth. Don't shout slogans and make empty promises. You should know that this farm project I am running requires me to work in the fields, facing the loess and back to the sky. It is not as easy as working in a factory."

Liu Weijie touched his nose embarrassedly and said, "Director He, the reason why I took the initiative to sign up for my two children is that my two children did not live up to expectations and did not get into high school after graduating from junior high school. They did not find a suitable job and stayed at home doing nothing all day. I wanted to find a more stable job for my two children."

"That's not right. Although our factory requires high school graduates when recruiting workers, it doesn't absolutely require high school graduates. We also recruit some junior high school graduates. Why didn't your son participate in the factory's recruitment?"

Liu Weijie blushed and whispered, "My children graduated from junior high school, but their academic performance was not good. At that time, they also signed up for our factory's recruitment for junior high school students, but they did not pass the exam and were rejected."

"Oh, I understand. But this is not right. Director Liu, even if your son failed to pass our factory's exam, I don't believe that you don't know that you can find other retired workers to buy succession quotas to enter the factory. Why didn't you buy a quota for your son? Director Liu, don't tell me that you can't afford the money to buy the quota!" He Yuzhu continued to ask.

"It's not that I can't afford the money to buy the quota. When my children just graduated, my wife thought they were too young and was afraid that they would be tired, so she didn't want them to go to work so early, so they stayed at home all the time. This year my eldest son just turned 18, and I was preparing to find a better job for him. Before I started to inquire, I happened to know that Director He was going to set up a farm, so I thought it would be a good idea to let my two children work on the farm." Liu Weijie explained.

"That's not right, Director Liu. With your family conditions, you can definitely let your child stay in Sijiu City and work in the factory. Why do you have to work in a farm under the factory? I chose the address of the farm in Xiyu Province, and the conditions there are much more difficult than in Sijiu City."

"Although I can find factory jobs for my two sons in the old city, they will have to be workers for the rest of their lives. But if they go to your newly established farm, it will be different. A new unit built from scratch will definitely have more opportunities than a factory. As long as they are willing to work hard, they will definitely have the opportunity to become cadres."

"The farm hasn't been established yet, and it's still unclear how it will develop in the future. Director Liu, what makes you think that it will be better to develop in the farm than in our factory?"

"I don't speculate that the farm can develop better than our factory based on any reason, but I believe in your vision, Director He."

"Trust my vision. Is there anything different about my vision?" He Yuzhu asked with a puzzled look after hearing Liu Weijie's words.

"Director He, I have seen with my own eyes that you transformed the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill into the Red Star Steel Mill. In just over five years, you developed a small truck repair workshop under the Transportation Section of the Logistics Department into the largest automobile factory in the country. Therefore, I believe that under your leadership, the farm under the factory will become the largest farm in the country in the future." Liu Weijie said with a firm face.

After listening to Liu Weijie's words, He Yuzhu looked at the expression on Liu Weijie's face and couldn't help but smile helplessly. Well, Liu Weijie regarded himself as an idol. "Director Liu, I'm just an ordinary cadre. There are many cadres like me in the country. Don't worship me blindly. I'm not omnipotent."

"Director He, I have noted what you said. Can you please take a look at my child's registration?" Liu Weijie asked cautiously.

"I have recorded all the registration matters. After the higher authorities agree to our factory to build a farm, you can directly let your son come to sign up. Anyway, our first batch of recruits will have as many as 1000 people. Whether he can be successfully selected in the end depends on your son's own ability. But I must say the ugly words first. Everything is difficult at the beginning. The first batch of people going to the Western Region Province will face much more difficulties and obstacles than those who will follow. If you can't endure hardships, it's better not to choose to be the first batch of people to go there." He Yuzhu reminded earnestly.

"No problem. I know what I'm doing. I've thought it over carefully. This opportunity is very rare for my children. It's also the best opportunity I can get for them. As for whether they can seize this opportunity, it depends on their personal abilities and luck. After all, how can you smell the fragrance of plum blossoms without going through the bitter cold?"

Listening to Liu Weijie's words, He Yuzhu thought of the saying that parents who love their children will plan for them in the long run. As a father of six children, he was also deeply touched. So he stood up, patted Liu Weijie on the shoulder, and said, "Okay, I understand, Director Liu. If you don't have anything else to deal with, please go back first. I still need to take these documents to find Secretary Gao and Director Yang for their signatures. Only after they sign and agree, can I submit this project application to the superiors."
