Siheyuan: The Qing Dynasty is back

After get off work in the afternoon, Sha Zhu followed Li Huaide and got on the factory jeep back to the courtyard.

All along the way, Shazhu was very proud. He kept looking outside the car, and greeted people he knew, as if he had very good interpersonal relationships. Everyone knew he was showing off.

We soon arrived at the gate.

Because they left later than the workers, the workers who were getting off work just arrived at the door.

When everyone first saw Sha Zhu getting off the car, they were all a little surprised. Is this Sha Zhu rich now?

Before I could ask, I saw Li Huaide coming down carrying something.

Most of the people here are from the steel rolling mill, and they all know Li Huaide, the logistics director.

Seeing the leader, everyone greeted him warmly. Li Huaide also responded with a smile.

Suddenly, the crowd parted, and a girl with a big belly and a big smile on her face came running over.

"Oh, I was wondering who could come in a car. It turns out to be Director Li. Welcome to our courtyard."

Li Huaide was also confused by Liu Haizhong's actions. Who is this person?

But Li Huaide was also a seasoned official. He smiled and said, "No need to be so formal. Comrade, you are also from our steel mill, right? You look healthy. You are a good comrade."

When he heard Li Huaide praising him as a good comrade, the fat face with bangs smiled like a chrysanthemum.

"Thank you Director Li for the compliment. I am Liu Haizhong, a sixth-level blacksmith in the forging workshop of our factory. I am also the second uncle of this courtyard. Under my leadership, this courtyard has always been an excellent courtyard in our street. My ability is still very suitable for management. ..."

Listening to Liu Haizhong's endless chatter, Li Huaide, despite his good political training, became a little impatient.

"Comrade Liu Haizhong, I need to talk to Master He Daqing today. Let's talk when we have time."

"Ah, Director Li is looking for He Daqing. I know his home. I'll take you there."

"He Daqing and I have known each other for more than ten years. We have a good relationship and often drink together."

Li Huaide didn't care about what Liu Haizhong said.

But the silly guy behind him thought that the guy with the bangs was even more stupid than himself.

Don't I know where my home is? Do I need you to lead the way?

After Liu Haizhong finished speaking, he saw Li Huaide carrying cigarettes and alcohol, and wanted to reach out to help carry them. How could the leader carry things himself? What were they doing?

Li Huaide saw Liu Haizhong's action and handed the thing to Sha Zhu beside him. You can't just give this thing to a stranger.

When Liu Haizhong saw Sha Zhu take the things, he hurriedly led the way for Li Huaide.

As soon as I entered the gate, Yan Bugui was at the door. When he saw Liu Haizhong, he greeted him as usual.

"Old Liu is off work!"

But today is different from usual.

Then I heard Liu Haizhong shouting, "Old Yan, how could you be like this? Didn't you see Director Li was here? How could you talk to me first? You should greet the leader first. No wonder you have always been a poor teacher and have no political awareness at all!"

Yan Bugui was about to turn around when he heard this, but he was stunned. I am just a school teacher. Do I know Director Li and Director Zhang of your steel mill?

You've even resorted to personal attacks!

But knowing that he was a leader, Yan Bugui had no time to deal with Liu Haizhong. He hurriedly said, "It turns out that Director Li is here. Welcome! Welcome!"

Li Huaide was also left speechless by Liu Haizhong. But he still had to respond when someone greeted him.

Just as he was about to nod in response, Liu Haizhong spoke again.

"Okay, Old Yan, Director Li is a leader and a very busy man. Don't waste his time here. Director Li and I have important things to do."

After saying that, he pushed Yan Bugui aside.

"Director Li, be careful with the steps. Let's go inside."

Li Huaide was a little confused, and Yan Bugui was even more confused.

Faced with the outrageous behavior of Lao Liu in Liu Haizhong, even Shazhu behind him curled his lips.

Yan Bugui watched Liu Haizhong lead Li Huaide into the middle courtyard like a lackey, and was so angry that he stopped watering the flowers in his hand and went back home.

At this time, He Daqing was at home listening to the radio and watching Chen Xueru helping Yu Shui with her homework.

Then I heard the broken gong voice from Liu Haizhong outside the door shouting, "Daqing, hurry out to greet the guests. Director Li is here!"

He Daqing was startled by the sudden voice. Chen Xueru and Yu Shui on the side stopped and looked outside the door.

He Daqing came to the door angrily, and saw Liu Haizhong coming with a man with a flattering face. Behind him, Sha Zhu was carrying a bag.

When Liu Haizhong saw He Daqing, he called out, "Daqing, this is Director Li. He wants to talk to you about something. Let's go in and talk."

Li Huaide saw He Daqing. He had something to ask of him today, so he didn't dare let Liu Haizhong ruin the matter. So he stepped forward and said, "Hello, Comrade He Daqing. I am Li Huaide, the logistics director of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill. I am sorry for disturbing you by visiting me."

Although He Daqing didn't understand why Li Huaide wanted to see him, he still said politely, "Welcome Director Li to my humble room. Please come in."

As he said that, he opened the door and let Li Huaide in.

At this time, Liu Haizhong walked in front of Li Huaide, and it seemed that he was going to lead Li Huaide.

Li Huaide was so angry that he wanted to kick this idiot out.

However, leaders must be approachable. Even if they are cursing people in their hearts, they still have a smile on their faces.

"Comrade Liu, if you have something to do, go ahead and do it. I will just talk to Master He."

"It's okay. Director Li is here in our courtyard. No matter how big the matter is, I have to receive you first. I'm not busy."

Sha Zhu couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Second Uncle, you should go back and take a look. Those two little bastards in your family are waiting for you to go back and take care of them."

Liu Haizhong was so angry that he glared at Sha Zhu. He didn't want others to mention those two bastards in his family. Couldn't he just talk more about his eldest brother Guangqi?

Li Huaide also said impatiently: "Comrade Liu, let's talk about it another day when we go to the factory. I have something important to discuss with Master He today."

No matter how dumb Liu Haizhong was, he could tell that the other person had something important to tell him and didn't want him to listen.

He said unwillingly, "Okay, Director Li, you go ahead and do your work. I'll come see you later."

"Daqing, it's not easy for Director Li to come here, you must treat him well. Don't lose face for our Siheyuan."

He Daqing had never seen such an untactful person. He waved his hand speechlessly and told him to get out.

After Liu Haizhong left, Li Huaide and He Daqing quietly entered the house.

Chen Xueru and Yu Shui had already collected their homework.

As soon as He Daqing and Li Huaide sat down, Chen Xueru served them tea.

Li Huaide glanced at Chen Xueru, and was also impressed by her beauty. He Daqing is so lucky!

He Daqing didn't notice what Li Huaide did secretly. He took a sip of tea and waited for Li Huaide to speak.

In formal occasions, the one who loses his temper first will have a lower momentum.

Li Huaide looked at He Daqing's calm appearance and sighed in his heart that this man was also an old fox.

So Li Huaide said first: "Master He, I heard that you made a very amazing dish some time ago, which surprised the entire culinary world. Your cooking skills are really extraordinary."

If he starts complimenting you right away, it means you want something from him.

He Daqing responded calmly, "Thank you, thank you. It's just a compliment from everyone."

Seeing this, Li Huaide did not hesitate and explained the factory's affairs and decisions to He Daqing in detail.

Then he said, "Master He, our factory leaders sincerely invite you to take the position of deputy director. Although the current salary may not be as good as yours in other big hotels or units, there is still a lot of room for future development. I hope you can consider it."

He Daqing didn't expect that Li Huaide came to him for this matter.

He also thought about where he would work.

The restaurant was too tiring, and he wasn't short of money. There was no need to exhaust himself in his new life.

He is also considering other units, but he has not yet confirmed them.

The steel mill treats him quite well now. Although the salary may be a little low, the work is easy.

Now I’m only making lunch for three people, and Western food is simple and easy to make, so it really doesn’t take long.

Even if these experts left, he would only be a deputy director. There was a director above him and a chef below him. He probably wouldn't have too much work to do.

After thinking about it, He Daqing felt that this was okay.

So he said, "I'll think about it. There have been quite a few companies that have approached me in the past few days. Many of them were introduced by acquaintances. I have to go over and take a look, otherwise it would be embarrassing."

"I also know that you are anxious. I will give you an answer the day after tomorrow morning."

After hearing this, Li Huaide still felt a little uneasy.

"Then Master He, please think about it carefully. I heard that you used to work in our factory. Maybe you still have old friends in the factory. If Master He comes to the factory in the future, it will be a familiar environment and you will fit in quickly."

"Besides, He Yuzhu has made a great contribution to the factory by recommending you. The factory has decided to reward him with a bicycle ticket as an encouragement."

"Director Yang asked me to bring these things to you. I hope you will accept them. Consider them as a reward for you as an old employee."

As he said this, he took the bag that Shazhu was carrying and placed it on the table.

Faced with Li Huaide's moves of emotional wooing and material rewards, He Daqing accepted them with a smile. But he still had to wait until the day after tomorrow to give him a definite answer.

Li Huaide saw that there were probably quite a few people waiting. He had no choice.

After chatting for a while, Li Huaide was a little disappointed and planned to leave.

Now he doesn't know whether he succeeded or not.

He Daqing also sent Li Huaide to the gate with a smile on his face. Before Li Huaide got on the car, he looked at Sha Zhu and whispered to him, "Please persuade your father again. If you can get him to agree to come to our factory, I will ask Director Yang to reward you with a radio ticket. How about it?"

When Sha Zhu heard that he could get not only a bicycle ticket but also a radio ticket, he was immediately delighted and wanted to agree to it on behalf of his father.

"Don't worry, Director Li. I will go back and have a good talk with my dad right now. I will drag him to our factory even if I have to."

When Li Huaide heard this, he immediately said happily: "Okay, I'll wait for your good news. As long as you invite your father, I will make everything I said come true for you."

He Daqing also heard their whispers. This was the effect he wanted. This way, he would appear to be taken seriously and give Sha Zhu a chance to step up. He would also be able to improve his impression in front of his superiors in the future.

Alas, the love a mother has for her children! It’s all for the sake of her children!
