Siheyuan: Buyers get rich from hunting

The next morning, the sun shone through the sparse clouds, gently falling on every corner of the No. 95 courtyard like a veil. Yan Bugui got up early, put on a neat Zhongshan suit, and held a stack of information tightly in his hand, ready to go out to find out the latest news of the new department of the steel rolling mill.

"My dear, I'm leaving. Today I have to find out more about the new leader and the new department." Yan Bugui said to his wife who was busy in the kitchen, with a firm and serious look on his face.

The wife stopped what she was doing, smiled and nodded, and said, "Okay, be careful on the road and don't get into any trouble. Remember to come back for lunch." Yan Bugui responded and hurried out of the house, heading for the steel mill. He walked through the narrow and quiet alley, feeling the tranquility and freshness of the early morning.

Arriving at the gate of the steel mill, there were already quite a few people gathered there. Some were workers coming to work, wearing blue work clothes and walking in a hurry; some, like Yan Bugui, came to get information.

Yan Bugui looked around, searching for familiar faces. After a while, he saw an old colleague who worked in the library, and he was immediately filled with joy. He quickly walked over and greeted him enthusiastically: "Morning, Lao Zhang! What are you doing here?"

Zhang turned around and saw Yan Bugui. He smiled and replied, "Oh, Old Yan, I'm here to get information too. I heard that the factory is going to set up a new department, and everyone is very curious." Yan Bugui nodded, showing his understanding. The two began to communicate and share the information they knew.

After a while, another person came, and Yan Bugui trotted over with shining eyes.

"Old Liu, you're here! I was just looking for you!" Yan Bugui walked up to him with a smile on his face and said enthusiastically.

Old Liu was stunned for a moment, then he recognized Yan Bugui and responded with a smile: "Oh, it's Bugui, what's the hurry?"

Yan Bugui approached Lao Liu mysteriously and asked in a low voice, "I heard that the steel mill is going to have a new leader and set up a new department. Do you know what's going on?"

Old Liu frowned, thought for a moment and then answered, "I have heard a little about this, but I don't know the details. The new leader seems to be sent by the higher-ups, and is said to be a capable person. As for the new department, it may be established to adapt to market changes."

After listening to this, Yan Bugui nodded thoughtfully, thinking about this information in his heart. He felt that this change might have an impact on him, so he wanted to know more details as soon as possible. So he continued to ask Lao Liu about the details of the new department.

Lao Liu patiently explained: "At present, we only know that this new department will be responsible for the research and development and promotion of new products in the factory. The specific staffing and job responsibilities have not yet been determined. But what is certain is that this will be a very important department."

After hearing this, Yan Bugui was moved and wondered whether his son would have a chance to join this new department. He quickly asked, "What kind of talents does this new department need?"

Lao Liu shrugged and said he was not sure: "It depends on the new leader's ideas. Maybe we need technical experts, marketing personnel or management talents, etc. The specific requirements will not be known until the official notice comes out."

Yan Bugui was secretly thinking in his mind that he should let his son prepare in advance and strive to get into this new department.

He chatted with Lao Liu for a while, found out some preliminary information about the new department, and then left the steel mill satisfied.

After returning to the courtyard, Yan Bugui could not wait to tell his wife all the news he had heard. The two sat on the kang, eating breakfast and whispering.

"I didn't expect that the factory would have a new leader and set up a new department!" Yan Bugui said excitedly, "This is a rare opportunity!"

His wife's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she quickly asked, "Do you think our Yan Jiecheng has a chance to work in this new department?"

Yan Bugui frowned, thought for a moment and said, "I think it's difficult, after all, the competition is so fierce. But we can give it a try!"

So, the two began to discuss the next plan. They decided to let their son prepare a detailed resume and a sincere cover letter, highlighting his professional skills and work experience. Then, they would try to contact the new leader or people in the new department through various channels to see if they could get an interview opportunity for their son.

At the same time, Yi Zhonghai and Auntie were also discussing the new leader of the steel mill at home. Although they were not as anxious as Yan Bugui to find a job for their son, and of course they had no sons or daughters, they were also full of curiosity and expectations about the new leader and the new department.

"Zhong Hai, what kind of person do you think this new leader will be?" asked an old lady curiously.

Yi Zhonghai thought for a moment and replied, "Who knows? But since he was sent by the higher-ups, he must be a capable person. Let's wait and see."

The lady nodded and said, "I hope this new leader can bring some new atmosphere to our factory and make everyone's life better."

Yi Zhonghai smiled and comforted her, saying, "Don't worry, as long as we work hard, our lives will get better and better."

Yi Zhonghai listened to the aunt's words, and a gratified smile appeared on his face. He nodded in agreement. Then, he said with emotion: "Yes, we are all looking forward to this day. After so many years, we finally have a chance to live a good life." His eyes were full of longing for the future.

An aunt also agreed, "Yes, Zhonghai is right. But then again, now that the new leader is here, we have to behave well and not leave a bad impression on others. After all, he is the top boss in the factory. If we annoy him, our lives will be difficult in the future." As she spoke, she carefully observed Yi Zhonghai's reaction.

Yi Zhonghai thought about it and felt that what the aunt said made sense. So he patted his chest and said that he would listen to the aunt's advice and promised to perform well at work.

The two chatted and before they knew it, it was already lunchtime. They had a simple meal and then started to get busy again. In this courtyard, everyone is working hard for their future. Although everyone knows that life is not always smooth, as long as they persevere and move forward courageously, they will be able to overcome difficulties and welcome a better tomorrow.

The arrival of the new leader of the steel mill has undoubtedly brought new hope and opportunities to everyone. They look forward to the new leader leading them on the road to prosperity and realizing their dreams.

Liu Haizhong sat quietly on the slightly worn wooden chair at home, his hands folded in front of his chest, his eyes gleaming with shrewdness. He glanced at everyone, then slowly said: "Look, the steel mill is very busy now! Everyone is eyeing the new department, wanting to squeeze in and get a piece of the pie. But we can't just join in the fun, we have to make our own plans."

The second aunt stopped knitting the sweater in her hands, looked up at her bangs, and a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes: "Another way? Do you mean the position in the street office?" She seemed a little puzzled, but continued to ask.

Liu Haizhong nodded, looking confident: "Yes, it's the street office. Although the steel mill looks very glamorous, the competition is too fierce and it is difficult for us to compete with others. Although the street office is not as eye-catching as the steel mill, the work is relatively stable and not too tiring." After saying that, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, revealing a smug smile.

After hearing this, the second aunt frowned thoughtfully, then sighed softly: "Well, I know what you said makes sense. But it's probably not easy to get into the street office, right?"

Liu Haizhong smiled and answered confidently: "It is precisely because everyone's attention is drawn to the new department of the steel rolling mill that our chances are even greater. As long as we seize this opportunity and prepare well, we should be able to succeed."

The two sons looked at each other with expectation in their eyes. They knew their father's wisdom and strategy very well and believed that he would find a way out for their family.

The eldest son put down the book in his hand and said thoughtfully: "Dad, you are right. So what should we do to improve our competitiveness?"

He frowned and fell into deep thought. His father's words made him realize the fierce competition and his own shortcomings, but at the same time, they also inspired his inner fighting spirit. He knew that in order to stand out among many job seekers, he must have something extraordinary.

Liu Haizhong stood up and slowly walked to his two sons. He gently patted his eldest son on the shoulder and said earnestly: "You two, one has a high degree of education, and the other is smart, which is exactly what the street office needs. You must prepare your resume well, highlight your strengths, and then find some connections, inquire about interview skills, and try to get the job in one fell swoop."

His eyes were full of expectation, hoping that his sons would understand his good intentions. In this competitive era, only by continuous efforts can we win opportunities.

The second aunt also put down the sweater in her hand and listened to her husband's words attentively. She nodded slightly to show her agreement and added: "Also, we need to find out what positions the street office needs specifically and prescribe the right medicine. This way, we can achieve twice the result with half the effort."

She is well aware of the importance of understanding needs. Only by making targeted preparations based on actual conditions can she better demonstrate her abilities and value.

"Yes, Mom is right." The youngest son agreed, his eyes gleaming with eagerness. He was full of confidence in this job search, and believed that as long as the family worked together, they would surely succeed.

In this small courtyard, the family sat together and discussed the future direction. They encouraged each other, made plans together, and worked hard to achieve their goals. Although the future was uncertain, their hearts were full of hope and courage.
