Siheyuan: My wife is Xu Huizhen

"Haha, that's great, it just so happens that my stomach is rumbling a little right now."

Liao Baoshan responded happily, looking at his daughter's back as she walked into the kitchen with anticipation in his eyes.

Liao Lieying carefully put the dishes and chopsticks into boiling water and washed them as if they were rare treasures, as if this simple action was full of ritual.

She carefully soaked the dishes and chopsticks in hot water for a full 5 minutes before taking them out with satisfaction.

Then, she deftly opened a pack of instant noodles, expertly put the noodles and seasoning packet into a bowl, poured in boiling water, then covered the bowl with a lid and waited patiently.

It wasn't long before an alluring aroma wafted from the bowl and filled the entire room.

Liao Lieying gently opened the lid, and a bowl of steaming hot instant noodles with delicious color, aroma and taste appeared in front of Liao Baoshan.

Liao Baoshan couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks, picked up the noodles and put them into his mouth to chew and taste them carefully.

After a moment, a satisfied smile appeared on his face, and he praised it profusely:

"Well, it tastes really good! The noodles are soaked just right, with a smooth and chewy texture. Moreover, the soaking time is very short. A hearty lunch can be prepared in just a few minutes. I think this thing called instant noodles will definitely be warmly welcomed by everyone!"

Living in the bustling and busy Hong Kong, people here live at a very fast pace and pursue efficiency and speed in everything they do.

Instant noodles just meet this demand - they are easy to use, you just need to brew them with boiling water, wait for three to five minutes, and then you can enjoy delicious food.

It is the perfect choice for those who are busy all day and don't have time to spend too much time preparing meals.

Although Liao Baoshan is not engaged in the food industry, with his rich experience and keen insight accumulated over the years, he almost instantly concluded that this convenient and fast delicacy would surely create a craze in the market.

Thinking of this, he thought to himself:

"It seems that we should move forward with the matter of inducting He Yuzhu into the board of directors as soon as possible."

Previously, due to the fact that some directors had many concerns about various factors, especially the concern about the possible impact of He Yuzhu, the proposal to invite He Yuzhu to join the board of directors was always in the discussion stage and had not been implemented.

However, now faced with such a promising product, if we fail to seize the opportunity to cooperate with it in time, we may miss the opportunity in the future.

In the following days, He Yuzhu devoted himself to the work of applying for a patent.

He carefully sorted out every relevant information to ensure that all documents were accurate and complete.

Fighting alongside him is Hong Chenpei. They collaborate with each other and constantly improve various information.

This was not an easy task. After several days of non-stop work, the two finally prepared all the materials for more than 60 patents.

These patents cover many innovative concepts, including not only a design that allows seasonings to be added directly into instant noodles, but also the ingenious idea of ​​cleverly making seasonings into soup packets and vegetable packets and then combining them.

In addition, they also registered a variety of common flavors in advance, such as the popular braised noodles, the delicious three-fresh noodles, the nutritious egg noodles, the fragrant pork ribs noodles, and the unique seafood noodles, etc. Almost all the flavors imaginable have been registered without exception.

However, the only drawback is that the patent application process is rather cumbersome and complicated, and the entire approval process is time-consuming, so these instant noodles may not be put into production quickly in the short term.

Faced with this reality, He Yuzhu knew that being anxious would not help, so he decisively decided to put aside his eager anticipation for the production of instant noodles for the time being and instead focus his energy on the daily operations and management of the company.

One night, as night fell quietly, He Yuzhu dragged his slightly tired body back to his residence opposite the newspaper office.

Because before this, he and Pan Qun had an agreement - at certain intervals, they would inform each other of their respective recent situations.

So tonight, he rushed back specifically to fulfill this promise and go find Pan Qun.

Just as he reached the door of his house, Mr. Huang, who lived next door, came up to him with a smile on his face and greeted him warmly:

"Hey, Boss He, you're finally back!"

Seeing Boss Huang's enthusiasm, He Yuzhu quickly responded, "Hello, Boss Huang!"

Afterwards, the two exchanged a few polite words, and then Boss Huang cordially invited He Yuzhu to his home to have tea and chat.

He Yuzhu raised his hand and glanced at the old watch on his wrist. Finding that it was still early for the agreed time, he followed him into this quaint tea restaurant at a leisurely pace.

The two found a seat by the window and sat opposite each other. As soon as they sat down, Huang Zhihai shouted loudly: "My girl, bring us a pot of good tea!"

There was only a clear and pleasant response from the counter:

"coming!"

Then, a graceful girl came in like a light butterfly, carrying a pot of steaming tea and walking towards us slowly.

When the girl came closer, Boss Huang introduced her with a smile on his face:

"This is my daughter Huang Zhirou. She just returned from studying abroad a few days ago. She is now at home helping me run the business."

After hearing this, He Yuzhu slowly raised his head and turned his gaze to the person in front of him.

With just this quick glance, he felt as if he was under a spell. He stood still on the spot for an instant, unable to move his eyes away even a little bit.

It turned out that this woman was really beautiful. Her black curly hair cascading down like a waterfall gently brushed against her snow-white skin, making her even more charming.

The delicate facial features are just right on that oval face, especially the pair of black eyes that are like deep lakes, bright and smart, as if they can capture people's hearts;

She is about 1.7 meters tall, slender and has perfect body curves.

Look at her cheeks with graceful lines, delicate and smooth texture. Although they have a little bit of baby fat, it is precisely this lovely feature that adds a bit of playfulness and cuteness to her originally pure and refined face.

After being stunned for a moment, He Yuzhu finally came to his senses, stood up a little uncomfortably, and stammered, "Hello... Hello, my name is He Yuzhu."

Huang Zhirou smiled slightly when she saw this, then gently put down the teapot in her hand and responded softly:

"Hello, I'm Huang Zhirou, nice to meet you."

Before she finished her words, someone called out to her loudly to help. Huang Zhirou nodded slightly to the two of them, then turned around and left quickly.

Boss Huang sighed heavily, shook his head helplessly, and looked worried.

Seeing this, He Yuzhu asked curiously:

"Hey, Mr. Huang, what's wrong with you? Look at you sighing."

As he spoke, he picked up the teapot on the table and prepared to pour a cup of tea for Boss Huang.

However, how could Mr. Huang dare to accept He Yuzhu's service so carelessly? He quickly snatched the teapot and thanked him hurriedly:

"Oh my, Brother Zhuer, no, no! How can I ask you to pour me some tea? Come on, let me fill it up for you first!"

After saying that, he carefully filled He Yuzhu's cup with steaming hot tea, and then poured himself a cup.

Boss Huang took a sip of tea, put down the cup, and said with a bitter face:

"Tell me, I spent so much effort to send my daughter to study abroad, what was the purpose? Look, she graduated this year, but after she came back, she can only help out in our teahouse. It's really worrying!"

He Yuzhu couldn't help but ask, "Oh? Then what major did your daughter study?"

Boss Huang scratched his head, thought for a moment and then answered, "It seems... a university called Brito."

At this moment, Huang Zhiru, who was busy not far away, happened to hear her father's words. She couldn't help but stop what she was doing, walked over quickly and complained coquettishly:

"Daddy, my dear daddy! I have studied in that university for four years, and you still can pronounce the name of the school wrong! It's called the University of Bristol, okay?"

After hearing what his daughter said, Mr. Huang smiled a little embarrassedly and responded repeatedly:

"Okay, okay, Daddy remembered it wrong. It's the University of Bristol. But my dear, what good is it even if you graduate from this famous university? In the end, you still won't be able to find a decent job!"

He Yuzhu smiled slightly after hearing this and said comfortingly:

"Boss Huang, don't be too anxious. Although Zhiru hasn't found a suitable job yet, she has just graduated, so there are always opportunities.

Although I have been very busy recently, I have also found time to catch up on a lot of knowledge. I know that society is changing rapidly nowadays, and it sometimes takes some time and opportunities for young people to find a job. "

You should know that the University of Bristol is a well-known university in England. Its comprehensive strength ranks among the top ten among many local institutions of higher learning.

From this point of view alone, it is undoubtedly a very outstanding university.

"That's pretty good. With such an excellent academic background, finding a job shouldn't be a problem, right? How come you can't even find a suitable position?" He Yuzhu asked curiously.

"Oh, don't mention this! My precious daughter is so pretty. She finally got a job in a foreign company, but the result is that everyone in the company keeps their eyes on her and has evil intentions towards her.

If she continues to work there, it would be like sending a lamb into a tiger's mouth!"

Huang Zhiru couldn't help but show anger when she heard what her father said, and said coquettishly: "Daddy, what are you talking about!"

Upon seeing this, Boss Huang chuckled twice and tactfully stopped dwelling on the topic.

Then, he changed the subject and enthusiastically discussed the various intricacies of the business world with everyone.

He Yuzhu, who was standing by, was also worried that the other party might mistake him for a gangster.

So he quickly took over the conversation and talked incessantly about his experience in opening a training school and running a machinery factory.

"I know the training school you run. I heard that it specializes in teaching students how to operate lathes. All those idle hooligans in the neighborhood now go to work there. You have really done a great thing. It can be said that you have done immeasurable merit!" Boss Huang was obviously very appreciative of He Yuzhu's actions.

He Yuzhu waved his hand modestly and explained:

“In fact, I was forced to do it at the beginning. Someone always bullied me, and I couldn’t just take the beating without fighting back.

Later, I thought that instead of fighting with them, I should think of some decent way to make a living, so I came up with the idea of ​​setting up a training school and a machinery factory. "

Boss Huang nodded slightly to show his approval, and then turned the topic to the machinery factory.

The two of them had a lively conversation about this and time passed by unknowingly.

During this time, He Yuzhu picked up the teacup and took a sip. After a short rest, he stood up and said goodbye and returned to the next room.

After He Yuzhu left, Boss Huang hurriedly called his beloved daughter Huang Zhirou into the inner room and asked softly:

"My girl, what do you think of this Boss He?"

Huang Zhirou blinked her big eyes and asked in confusion:

"Dad, what do you mean? What's going on?"

Boss Huang quickly explained:

"I just want you to evaluate him and tell me what you think of him."

Huang Zhirou raised her eyebrows and said coquettishly:

"Oh, Daddy, you don't want to introduce me to a boyfriend, do you?"

Boss Huang waved his hands repeatedly and denied:

"No, no, no, don't misunderstand me, girl. I heard you say before that you were always harassed when you went to work, so Daddy was thinking of introducing you to work in He Yuzhu's machinery factory."

When Huang Zhirou heard this, her eyes widened and she said in disbelief:

"What? You want me to work in his little shabby factory? Dad, you know I'm a top student who studied abroad in London!"

Boss Huang retorted disapprovingly:

"So what if you study abroad? Look at you now. Aren't you still just a waiter at home?"

Huang Zhirou stamped her feet in anger and shouted coquettishly:

"Daddy!"

Seeing his daughter so angry, Boss Huang stopped teasing her and asked again with a serious face: "Okay, okay, my dear daughter, Daddy will ask you what your impression of him is?"

Huang Zhirou calmed down a little, thought carefully for a moment and replied:

"Hmm... Come to think of it, this guy looks quite old, and I wonder if he has a wife?"

Boss Huang stroked his chin and replied thoughtfully:

"Well... from what I know, he should have one, but his wife is currently in the capital."

"But his factory is too small. The scale does not meet my expectations at all! My major is international trade."

Huang Zhirou frowned, with a hint of dissatisfaction in her tone.
