Siheyuan: Starting with one acre and three fen of land

"Hello, comrade! I am here to report today. May I ask where I should go to handle the formalities?"

He Yuzhu came to the gate and parked his bicycle aside.

As he spoke, he took out the letter of introduction from his bag and handed it in through the small window.

The old man was sitting on a chair smoking a pipe. After listening to him, he took the letter of introduction.

After reading the information on the cover, he turned his gaze to He Yuzhu: "Are you the new canteen director?"

He had been shown He Yuzhu's photo before. He was considered a person of special attention and any unusual absences needed to be reported in a timely manner.

As for why this was so? He knew what his job was, and he just had to obey orders and carry them out resolutely as always.

Upon hearing this, He Yuzhu looked at the old man inside carefully and found that he had a familiar temperament.

OK! Another veteran like Uncle Wu.

He Yuzhu bowed and said, "You have a keen eye. I am He Yuzhu. You can just call me Zhuzi."

The old man's eyes were sharp, and he was keenly aware of his change: "Hey! Have you ever dealt with us?"

He Yuzhu smiled, nodded, and replied, "Mr. Wu from Jiaodaokou Police Station."

"Old Wu! Okay, go in! Just call me Old Zeng from now on."

The old man nodded slightly, and when he heard He Yuzhu say that he knew Uncle Wu, he verified his identity indirectly.

He had also dealt with Uncle Wu before, and with a smile on his face, he handed the letter of introduction back to him.

"Xiao He, go in along the path on the right. It's the third room on the first floor of the three-story building at the innermost side."

Seeing that he explained it in such detail, He Yuzhu took the letter of introduction and put it away, then took out a pack of tobacco.

"Uncle Zeng, thank you so much! Please try my tobacco. Uncle Wu praised it highly. It is definitely strong!"

Uncle Zeng was about to refuse when he heard Uncle Wu mentioned.

He frowned, took the tobacco, put it in his pipe, and lit it with a match.

"Hiss..." Uncle Zeng exhaled a puff of smoke and a satisfied expression appeared on his face.

"Not bad, not bad! Then I'll shamelessly accept it!"

He Yuzhu bowed and replied with a smile: "Tell me when you are done smoking. I will honor you with my respect."

Uncle Zeng continued to smoke his pipe and waved his hand, indicating that he could go, enjoying himself happily.

He Yuzhu was not annoyed. Today was a good start. He established a good relationship with the security guard as soon as he arrived, and he was a veteran.

The combat capability requirement for a security guard may not be high, as there are full-time security departments. But in terms of being familiar with the situation in the unit, it is very important.

What's more, Uncle Zeng is a veteran. Who knows whether the leader sitting in the office inside will salute him.

It is not an exaggeration to say that these days, many veterans are unable to move up due to various reasons.

But no one knows how many people they have led, and it is not uncommon to salute the security guard with a star on their shoulder.

Leaving the gate, He Yuzhu pushed his bicycle and followed the crowd into the gate.

Following Grandpa Zeng's instructions, he successfully arrived at the small building.

He Yuzhu looked at the personnel sign hanging on the door and knocked gently.

At this time, the Ministry of Heavy Industry had already begun structural adjustments, and its subordinate industrial bureaus were transferred to the First and Second Machinery Industry Bureaus.

The entire department’s personnel department is located in the building in front. This small building was the previous office space, and the headquarters’ personnel department still remains here.

"Comrade, what are you here for?"

The person sitting at the desk next to the door heard the noise, looked at He Yuzhu who walked in, and asked softly.

It was still early and the desks in the room were not occupied yet. I didn't know it was not time to go to work yet, so I went to get some water.

When He Yuzhu heard his question, he smiled and walked towards him.

"Hello, comrade! I am He Yuzhu, and I am reporting here today. Here is my letter of introduction and identity information."

The clerk sat on the chair, a strange look flashed in his eyes, and he looked at He Yuzhu with a somewhat strange expression.

"Hello! Director He, you're here pretty quickly! I thought you would report at the end of the month. Please take a seat first, I will process the formalities for you."

As he spoke, he took the letter of introduction and lowered his head to start processing it.

Seeing that he took the information and started processing it, He Yuzhu was too embarrassed to ask any more questions, so he had to sit on the stool in front of the desk and wait.

Just now he heard the clerk's unusual expression and thought something was indeed amiss, so he thought about going to ask Uncle Zeng about it.

The clock moved slowly and the clerk asked questions from time to time. Finally, the procedures were completed and he handed his work permit and other documents to He Yuzhu.

"Director He, please keep these documents safe. Don't lose them. It will be troublesome to reissue them."

He Yuzhu stood up, took the ID and checked it, and found that there was no problem.

He put it in his backpack, took out a cigarette and handed it to her: "What's your name? Thank you very much."

Seeing He Yuzhu's gentle attitude, the clerk took the cigarette with a smile and waved his hand.

"Director He, you're too polite! Just call me Xiao Shen. I'll take you to the cafeteria!"

This was really a timely help. He Yuzhu was just about to ask how to get to the cafeteria when the other party directly stuffed the cigarette in his hand into his.

"Okay! Thank you very much."

Xiao Shen felt the strength in He Yuzhu's hand and was willing to do his best to make friends.

He stopped refusing, took the cigarette box in his hand and put it in his pocket: "Director He, I won't be polite. We will still have to rely on you for our meals in the future!"

"I'm just serving you!" He Yuzhu responded and followed Xiao Shen out of the office.

Along the way, Xiao Shen introduced several buildings to He Yuzhu and shared some common sense, allowing He Yuzhu to have a preliminary understanding of the unit.

"Look, your office is in front."

He Yuzhu looked in the direction Xiao Shen was pointing, and a renovated detached house came into view. Through the glass windows, he could see the tables and chairs inside.

His eyes turned and suddenly he saw a stone kiln of a familiar style. He couldn't help but ask, "Why is there a stone kiln here?"

Xiao Shen turned his head and looked at He Yuzhu, and replied with a smile: "Director He, you also know about our relationship with Big Brother.

As we deal with them more often, we have to provide corresponding hospitality. Originally, we went to restaurants to entertain these technical personnel.

However, a few years ago in Shijingshan, their factory's independent reception was very successful and it reached the ears of the top leaders.

After the leaders went over to take a look, they transferred people over and made the canteen responsible for the reception meals.”

Hearing this, He Yuzhu scratched his head. He didn't expect that what he did a few years ago could still be done today. It seems that Lao Lu has indeed carried forward his legacy.

"Good, good. This will reduce the cost by a lot, and it is in line with the initiative of thrift and diligence."

Xiao Shen gave a thumbs up and praised with a smile: "Director He, you are very conscious! However, we are lucky enough to have a taste of something new."

While the two were talking, they had already arrived at the door and pushed it open.

Now most of the seats in the room were empty. When the people present heard the noise, their eyes fell on the unfamiliar face He Yuzhu.

"Old Wu, what are you still standing there for? This is the new Director He Yuzhu!"
