Siheyuan: I am the Smart Pillar

After breakfast, He Yuzhu rode his bicycle with his daughter on his back to Red Star Primary School. Along the way, He Qingmei's little face was very happy. These days, which student is sent to Red Star Primary School by his father or mother on a bicycle in the morning? He can brag with his classmates in the school for a day and enjoy the envy of other classmates.

Regardless of the era, people are bound to compete with each other. He Yuzhu often hears his daughter say that in their elementary school class, people have started to discuss who has parents who do what? Whose parents do what? Although He Yuzhu feels that this is a bit bad, he also thinks that this is a bloody reality, and it makes children realize the cruelty of society, which is actually good.

The guard at the entrance of Hongxing Primary School was already familiar with He Yuzhu. The guard, Lao Zhang, said with a smile, "Hey, isn't this Director He? He actually came to see your daughter off in person this morning." He Yuzhu also took advantage of the situation and took out a pack of good cigarettes from his pocket with a smile on his face. He took out two cigarettes and handed them to the guard, Lao Zhang, saying, "Hey, don't you feel sorry for your daughter? I came to see her off this morning."

Cigarettes are the medium of communication between men, and are also an eternal topic between men. The security guard Lao Zhang took the two cigarettes with a smile, put one cigarette to his ear, and put the other cigarette in his mouth and started smoking.

Old Zhang smiled and said, "Oh, these are good cigarettes. Director He is really willing to spend money on them." He Yuzhu let his daughter enter the school by herself, and then chatted with Old Zhang at the door. Old Zhang had a good impression of this young director. He was a big director at such a young age, and he didn't look down on him at all, which made the veteran very grateful.

Lao Zhang was also a veteran who had fought in the Korean War. Due to the severe weather there, his body was frozen and disabled. As a disabled soldier, he was assigned to work as a security guard at Red Star Primary School. He Yuzhu admired such veterans very much. Every time he came to Red Star Primary School, he would have a good chat with Lao Zhang.

At this time, a middle-aged woman in her 30s came over. She was a teacher in Hongxing Primary School. The female teacher smiled and said to the security guard Lao Zhang, "Hey, good morning, Master Zhang!" The security guard Lao Zhang also smiled and nodded, looked at He Yuzhu next to him and introduced him, "Hey, Teacher Zhang, hello too. Let me introduce you. This is He Yuzhu, the father of He Qingmei in your class."

"Director He, this is your daughter's homeroom teacher, Ms. Zhang Shuying. Ms. Zhang Shuying is an excellent teacher in our Red Star Primary School. You two can get to know her."

He Yuzhu smiled and shook hands with Zhang Shuying, then said awkwardly, "Well, I'm ashamed to say this. Every time there is a parent-teacher meeting in school, it is my wife who attends it. I'm a bit incompetent as a father. I only met Teacher Zhang today." Zhang Shuying had short hair and looked very capable.

Zhang Shuying smiled and said, "Director He, you dare not say that. He Qingmei is also an excellent student in our class. She is either first or second in every exam. Your parents are also good at educating her." He Yuzhu showed a silly smile and said to Zhang Shuying, "Oh, how can that be possible? It's all because of you teachers who are great."

After the three of them chatted for a while at the entrance of Red Star Primary School, He Yuzhu rode his bicycle straight to the steel mill. Since he was a leader after all, naturally no one dared to catch him for being late. He first walked around the kitchens of the three canteens, gave instructions to Ma Hua and He Hongbin, and then went to the office to slack off.

He picked up the Romance of the Three Kingdoms from the drawer and continued reading. He really liked this era. There were very few things to do, and he spent most of his time reading. Bang, bang, bang, there was a knock on the door. He Yuzhu put the book in the drawer, coughed and said, "Okay, come in."

The person who came in was Director Yang's secretary, Secretary Zhou. Secretary Zhou smiled and said, "Director He, I'm sorry to bother you." He Yuzhu waved his hand and said, "Oh, it's Secretary Zhou. Come in, come in. I just got some good tea. Let's drink it in my office."

As the saying goes, it is better to deal with the devil than the devil. The two factory managers' secretaries must be well-fawned on, otherwise if one of the secretaries makes trouble for him in front of the other factory manager, although He Yuzhu is not afraid, this kind of thing is disgusting, isn't it?

Secretary Zhou quickly stopped He Yuzhu who was about to make tea, and said with a smile, "Oh, no, no, no, Director He, I came here this time to tell you something. Director Yang is looking for you in the office, please go there." He Yuzhu pretended to be very considerate and said, "Oh, it's just a small matter, just make a phone call, I, He Yuzhu, will definitely go to Director Yang's office, how can I trouble Secretary Zhou to go there in person."

Flattering and showing weakness appropriately, making friends with the popular people around the leader will help you avoid a lot of trouble in your career. In the adult world, there is always a lack of people who are jealous of you, but the principle of not hitting a smiling person is understood by everyone, no matter who you are. Secretary Zhou's face was full of smiles when he heard what He Yuzhu said.

After the two exchanged pleasantries, He Yuzhu followed Secretary Zhou to Director Yang's office. After knocking on the door, the two walked in. He Yuzhu said very respectfully, "Director Yang, what can I do for you?" There is no harm in being more respectful to your boss.

He Yuzhu has been replaced by someone else now. He would never do such a stupid thing as to confront the leader with a stiff neck. Those who said that He Yuzhu flattered the factory director were just envious. Yang Jianye quickly signaled He Yuzhu to sit down first, and winked at Secretary Zhou to serve tea.

Yang Jianye said with a smile, "I heard that our Director He likes to drink tea. Coincidentally, my old comrade-in-arms sent me a few cans of tea some time ago. You can try it and see how it tastes." He Yuzhu took the tea brought by Secretary Zhou with both hands, sniffed the fragrance of the tea, and said in admiration, "Oh my, this tea smells very fragrant, oh."

He Yuzhu took another sip carefully, nodded and said, "Mm, it's good tea. There is a fragrance when I drink it in my mouth. When it goes down my throat, I can still feel the fragrance. Oh, it's really good tea, good tea."

Yang Jianye laughed and said, "Well, as long as Master He likes it, Xiao Zhou will get a can for Master He." He Yuzhu wanted to refuse immediately, but was stopped by Yang Jianye, who said, "Oh, Master He, don't you want to give me some face? Besides, it's just some tea leaves, what's the big deal! You drank Deputy Director Li's tea and took Deputy Director Li's tea, so why don't you take mine?"
