Siheyuan: Pioneer in anti-corruption, fighting against evil!

"My mother seemed helpless and finally decided to make a bowl of instant noodles herself..." He Yuzhu continued.

"Wait!" Director Yang interrupted quickly, "Although I don't know much about advertising, but isn't Mr. He destroying his own reputation by doing this?"

"Let me finish my words!" He Yuzhu said with a smile, "We can't make false claims. Instant noodles are indeed fast and lack nutrition, but children just like them.

Although mothers spoil their children, nutrition cannot be neglected.

She added an egg to the noodles and blanched some vegetables and meat slices so that even picky children could eat them in big mouthfuls.

"Hmm?" Director Yang was stunned for a moment, "This is a good idea.

"Right?" He Yuzhu smiled proudly, "We don't do false advertising, but I know how to cook and how to make food delicious.

We can change the actors and side dishes according to different scenes. For example, seafood can be added to the seaside area. We can make multiple versions, keep the plot flow consistent, and only change the dishes.

“Okay, you have the final say.

"Director Yang nodded in agreement. The idea was clear and filming would go relatively smoothly.

“What else is being filmed?”

“Hot pot base, dipping sauces, and my upcoming pickled cabbage.

"He Yuzhu added.

“Sauerkraut? Can it be made into a high-quality product and sold?” Director Yang wondered.

Sauerkraut is available in both the north and the south, but the preparation methods are different.

Sauerkraut in the north is usually pickled with Chinese cabbage and used as a winter storage ingredient.

Especially in Northeast China, almost every household has homemade sauerkraut. This is the kind that He Yuzhu plans to make. It can be used for hot pot or stir-fry, and is very versatile.

He explained: "Of course, there is no such pickled cabbage in the south, and this is also for future market considerations.

I will shoot two versions, one is the southern hot pot, and the other is the northern hot pot way.

“Winter in the south is damp and cold, so hot pot is a great choice; winter in the north is dry and cold, so shabu-shabu mutton can keep the cold away and warm the body.

“Well, that makes sense.

Director Yang nodded slightly.

“Then let’s shoot these first, and when my beverage factory starts operating after the Spring Festival, we can discuss the next plan then.

He Yuzhu said with a smile.

“Okay, that’s settled.

Director Yang agreed.

The two chatted over food, discussing details and TV series production, and gradually established a friendship.

After several meetings and collaborations, they are now considered friends.

Soon, their conversation turned to movies.

He Yuzhu said that he would definitely try to invest in movies privately in the future, and Director Yang also believed that he had the potential.

In fact, Director Yang feels that He Yuzhu will excel in film investment in the future.

After sending Director Yang home, He Yuzhu returned home happily.

Wenli had gotten off work, but she looked a little unhappy.

"Honey, what's wrong? Who made you unhappy?" He Yuzhu asked with concern.

“You!” Wen Li was obviously very angry.

"Me?" He Yuzhu was a little surprised. "What did I do?"

“It’s all your fault. You forced me to dress like this. All the male teachers in school are looking at me.

" Wen Li looked distressed.

"Hey~" He Yuzhu was surprised at first, then laughed, "This is the restraint of cultured people!"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Wen Li glared at him fiercely.

He Yuzhu stepped forward to comfort him: "Doesn't this just show that you are young and attractive? Besides, how long has this situation been going on?"

“It already existed, but I just didn’t notice it.

Wen Li continued, "What should we do now?"

"Teach them a lesson!" He Yuzhu said confidently, "It's their thoughts that are impure. It has nothing to do with you, right?"

"And you are the principal, you are the boss!" He Yuzhu emphasized.

"Stop it.

"Wen Li patted his shoulder, "There are also the secretary and the branch!"

"If I had listened to you, I would have resigned.

But now is the right time for me to apply for early retirement.

He Yuzhu agreed.

“Yes, retirement is good, but retirement does not mean doing nothing, you have to continue to stay elegant and become more beautiful.

He Yuzhu added.

"..." Wen Li looked at He Yuzhu and agreed: "Okay!"

She has quite a few clothes in her closet, but since she works at a school, she mostly chooses professional attire.

Now that she's retired, she has more options.

He Yuzhu was not surprised by Wen Li's change.

Wen Li looks young to begin with, and with her careful dressing, she looks to be in her early thirties, not at all like a fifty-year-old.

Even though they knew her actual age, the male teachers in the school couldn't help but take a few more glances at her because her dress offended them.

Women are naturally comparative, but since Wen Li was the principal, no one dared to say anything publicly before.

However, these remarks may slowly ferment over time.

Hearing this, Wen Li was very angry, but He Yuzhu didn't care at all and felt happy instead.

Fortunately, he looks mature but not old on the inside, otherwise when he was with Wen Li, people would really mistake them for father and daughter.

However, retirement is indeed a good thing, as my wife will have more time to spend with me in the future.

...

Wen Li began to go through the retirement procedures, but her new look became more fashionable, making it hard to believe that she was about to retire.

The secretary tried to keep her, but Wenli decided to leave the school and officially retire.

On the first day after retirement, Wenli woke up on time as usual. Both husband and wife had the habit of getting up early. Wenli had to go to work, while He Yuzhu took on the responsibility of cooking.

There were only two of them left in the family. Because He Wenjia had been admitted to university, she did not choose the traditional route like her two brothers, but chose management as her major.

He Yuzhu was pleased that Wenjia was willing to help run the business, but he still had a deep conversation with her and learned that his daughter envied Xu Huizhen and Chen Xueru's lifestyle and wanted to follow the same path.

This made He Yuzhu speechless, but he also felt that it was a good thing to have a daughter willing to take over the business.

As for Wenjia's study abroad plan, although He Yuzhu believes that management education abroad is more advanced, he is still a little worried about his daughter traveling alone.

He decided to observe for a while longer.

"Listen," Wen Li asked, lying on the bed, "what should I do?"

He Yuzhu understood that this was because his wife was not used to retirement life, "It's simple, just follow me.

"He suggested, "Let's not cook today. Let's go drink soy milk and stop by Shuxiang Garden to check on the guys' progress.

Then they planned to go to the food factory. He Yuzhu planned to launch new products, and they would also go to Qiandao Lake after the New Year as the beverage factory was about to begin construction.

“These are daily matters.

"He said.

Moreover, with Wenli's company, they can take this opportunity to go out and play, and they don't have to stay at home all the time when the children are not at home.

"That makes sense. Get up!" Wen Li immediately got up and put on her clothes. He Yuzhu did not dare to delay, as he knew that his wife needed to find a new rhythm of life as soon as possible.

For example, the business in Beijing can be handed over to Wen Li, and Jiang Weimin can develop in other places, after all, he is still young.

It was Jiang Weimin's suggestion that the two families celebrate the New Year together. He bought a small courtyard and wanted his family to gather together to get to know each other.

Everyone understands what he is thinking. He hopes to get more recognition and support from his family. After all, he has achieved something now.

The couple dressed up and went out. He Yuzhu drove Wen Li to Qianmen Street, where there was a breakfast stall they were familiar with.

After breakfast, He Yuzhu said to Wen Li: "Wife, you can be responsible for managing this place and the food factory.

"Hearing this, Wen Li hesitated: "Can I do it? I don't understand these.

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "You have been a principal, haven't you? The management rules are similar to those of a school. Here, the store manager will handle the trivial matters, and you only need to grasp the general direction.

Branches must also be inspected regularly, which is what I do.

As the business expanded, He Yuzhu needed to go out more often, and the affairs of Sijiu City were left to Wen Li.

“Okay, give it a try.

Wen Li agreed. Although she is not used to retirement life yet, helping He Yuzhu run the business is also a way to make use of her remaining energy.

The apprentices in the kitchen were practicing diligently. He Yuzhu watched their knife skills and gave timely guidance to ensure that no one was lazy.

Those with excellent skills are responsible for private rooms, those with slightly inferior skills are responsible for individual customers on the first floor, and the worst ones focus on honing their basic skills.

He Yuzhu thought to himself that maybe it was time to consider writing a book.

It’s just that today’s photography technology is limited, and it’s impossible to capture the dishes he cooks beautifully.

Suddenly, He Yuzhu felt that everything was not going well.

When he first crossed over, he couldn't do anything, but he adapted to that state.

Nowadays, even publishing a color cookbook seems difficult, and He Yuzhu can't help feeling helpless.

After checking the situation at the Shuxiangyuan main store, a morning passed.

He personally cooked three dishes at noon, and after enjoying them with his wife, he immediately rushed to the branch.

Ma Hua was very happy to see He Yuzhu: "Master, you are here?"

"Well, I heard that your eldest son is getting married soon?" He Yuzhu asked.

“Yes, the wedding is coming soon, and I just bought a small courtyard.

Ma Hua laughed, he is about the same age as He Yuzhu, who was only in his twenties when he became a master.

“Well, the courtyard is indeed comfortable, and the high-rise apartments are too crowded.

"He Yuzhu nodded, "Have you packed it up?"

“It’s cleaned up, according to your standards, with running water and toilets, and of course a comfortable yard.

“Ma Hua always had a smile on his face, he started out as an apprentice in a steel mill and has achieved what he has today thanks to a good master.

Although he only owns 30% of Shuxiangyuan's shares, his income is considerable.

Nowadays, he spends more time instructing his apprentices than doing the work himself.

“Well, I’m planning to open another branch.

If your fellow students meet the requirements and you have sufficient manpower here, you can consider assigning some of them.

He Yuzhu said: “I came to see your craftsmanship today.

“Okay, let me show you first!” Although Ma Hua has not yet reached He Yuzhu’s level, there is still room for improvement.

This kind of progress is not something a master can teach easily, but requires him to figure it out on his own.

He Yuzhu would come regularly to check and provide guidance.

Then, He Yuzhu mentioned Wen Li: "From now on, the affairs of the family will be taken care of by Master's wife, and I may be away from home often.

"No problem, Master, please tell me what you have to say.

“Ma Hua nodded in agreement.

In the evening, He Yuzhu took Wen Li to Sichuan Flavor on Qianmen Street, planning to enjoy hotpot.

"Lou Xiao'e is in charge here. As a chain store, it has its own operating model, so we usually don't have to interfere in daily affairs. If we have any questions, we can communicate with her directly.

"He Yuzhu explained.

"Chuanweidao has now expanded to more than a dozen cities and has more than 30 branches, all of which are directly operated by us.

“In the future, Sichuan Flavor will merge with Master Ho’s Food Factory, but the timing is not right yet.

Wen Li ate while listening, and then commented: "Lou Xiao'e is really capable.

He Yuzhu responded: "That's why I chose to work with her.

“I don’t know much, nor do I have much energy, so working with others is the easiest.

People like Xu Huizhen and Chen Xueru have been running businesses all the time, so it would definitely be a good idea to cooperate with them.

“I don’t have to worry too much, just focus on the finances and let them run the business.

“The eldest and second oldest in our family don’t participate in buying and selling, and Wenjia’s energy will be limited in the future, so it’s better for him to invest.

Wen Li nodded in agreement: "That's the truth.

However, is your cooperation with the TV station reliable? After all, we don't know how to shoot.

"Don't worry, I'm using investment to exchange for advertising, right?" He Yuzhu explained again, "I don't care how much they are willing to spend, what's important is the advertising time slot, and long-term broadcasting will allow the audience to remember Master He's brand.

"Nowadays, more and more people are buying TV sets, so naturally more people will see the ads, so I definitely won't suffer any loss in this regard.

I'm happy if they spend more money, and my ads can be broadcast longer, so this is a mutually beneficial situation!" Wen Li asked again: "Are you going to the food factory tomorrow?"

“Yes, we didn’t go today, we spent most of the time serving the people, we will go again tomorrow.

I plan to launch a new product and will visit the factory to arrange for expansion of the plant in early spring next year.

"He Yuzhu replied.

The couple seemed very comfortable as they ate and chatted.

The children are not at home and they no longer need to stay at home 24 hours a day.

After dinner, they went to see a movie and then drove home.

After washing up, they watch TV. There are not many programs and they go to bed before ten o'clock. Their daily routines are regular and stable.

The next morning, after having breakfast at home, they went to the food factory.

Jiang Weimin had arrived first.

"Uncle He, Auntie!" Jiang Weimin saw them and immediately came over to ask, "You two are here?"

"Well, Weimin, how is the production situation?" He Yuzhu asked after nodding.

"Production is proceeding as planned, but orders for instant noodles continue to come in every day. We are increasing production as planned to cover as many places as possible.

" Jiang Weimin responded, "Should we expand the scale?"

He Yuzhu looked around the empty space in the factory and said, “It’s not suitable now, there is not much space left, I plan to introduce another product.

“You should talk to the district before the New Year. We plan to buy another piece of land and open a second factory.

" He added, "It would be better if the land area is larger. Even if the factory is moved in the future, the existing land is valuable and adding another piece will definitely be profitable.

“Okay, I’ll go talk about it tomorrow.

It's easy to communicate with the district chief. I've already seen the land and it's not far from here, so we can negotiate it right away.
