Siheyuan: Silly Pillar is Kind

Sha Zhu and Zhang Ran only sat for half an hour before getting up and leaving. Liu Shulan did not try to keep them for too long because she had to meet with several friends in a while. This had become her daily routine.

Since successfully losing weight, Liu Shulan has become full of energy.

After safely sending Zhang Ran to his mother-in-law's house, Sha Zhu returned to the steel mill alone.

When Zhang Ran walked into the house, she found her mother sitting there sewing the soles of shoes. "My daughter, come and try these new shoes to see if they fit your feet!" Zhang's mother shouted.

"Mom, didn't I tell you not to make cloth shoes for me anymore? I'm working now! Look at the pair of leather shoes I'm wearing, how beautiful they are!"

As Zhang Ran spoke, he lifted his foot to show off to his mother.

"Come on, you're just being conceited! How much do these shoes cost?"

Zhang's mother picked up the feather duster beside her and waved it at Zhang Ran, muttering, "How can you spend money like this, you prodigal child? How did your mother teach you when she was at home? Even if you don't have your parents-in-law to supervise you, you should be frugal and save some money for emergencies. You are so unlucky. You squandered all the salary that Zhuzi worked hard to earn in a month."

Zhang's mother became angrier and angrier as she spoke, and the feather duster in her hand kept falling on Zhang Ran, but in fact, each blow was just a light slap, without any real force.

Zhang Ran understood his mother's good intentions. Although he felt a little aggrieved, he still silently endured the beating of this love.

She secretly swore in her heart that she must learn to save money in the future and not make her mother worry anymore.

"Mom, don't be anxious, just listen to my explanation first!" Zhang Ran begged bitterly.

"Although Zhuzi's monthly salary is more than 100 yuan, how could he spend it all in one month? Besides, Zhuzi's family already has some savings, so what if I spend a little? Zhuzi has no objection!"

At this time, Zhang's mother also pulled Zhang Ran to sit beside the bed and said earnestly: "My daughter, tell me what happened. The last time you came back, you said that Zhuzi helped you get a job in the steel mill. Tell me all the details about Zhuzi!"

"What are you talking about! Mom, you hit me for no reason and it hurts so much." Zhang Ran muttered while rubbing his spanked butt.

"Let's start with the issue of salary. Why is it only over a hundred? Isn't he a level eight chef?" Zhang's mother asked.

"Brother Zhuzi has now been promoted to deputy director of the canteen. Level 8 chef was a thing of the past. Moreover, he is preparing to compete for the position of director!" Zhang Ran replied proudly.

"Even if you are a director, it is impossible for you to only make a hundred yuan a month! Tell me where all this money comes from!" Zhang's mother became more and more anxious. She felt that her daughter was always playing tricks on her.

Zhang Ran was still afraid of the feather duster in his mother's hand, so he didn't dare to make trouble anymore!

"Brother Zhuzi is not only the deputy director, but also the chef of the cafeteria. He prepares special meals for the leaders, and he also receives extra subsidies and bonuses every month. That adds up to more than a hundred yuan!"

Zhang's mother couldn't help but widen her eyes after hearing this. How could one person receive three salaries? She had never heard of such a thing before!

But in this case, it is understandable that my daughter bought a new pair of shoes.

"Why didn't Zhuzi come back with you?"

"He just dropped me off at the door of my house and left. Brother Zhuzi has a lot of things to do. I heard that the technical team from the northern big brother is coming soon, and the leader specifically asked Brother Zhuzi to be in charge of cooking. So he's rushing to the steel mill to make preparations!"

"This is a great thing. Work hard and strive to become a leader as soon as possible..."

Mother Zhang was halfway through her words when she suddenly realized that He Yuzhu was now actually a small leader, so she stopped talking.

"Mom, okay, stop thinking too much and tell me what we're going to eat for lunch!"

"Eat, eat, eat. All you do is eat all day long. You just have a brain that can only eat! Come and learn how to make shoes from me first."

Zhang Ran picked up the shoes unwillingly and began to embroider...

At the same time, Sha Zhu walked into the kitchen and saw Wang the squad leader sitting there waiting for him. The two of them didn't say much nonsense. Sha Zhu poured himself a glass of water and sat down.

"Lao Wang, which factory manager do you want me to see next?" Sha Zhu asked straight to the point.

"Director, in my opinion, it is better for us to proceed step by step. Let's start with Huang Wenlong!" As expected by Sha Zhu, Squad Leader Wang quickly gave a specific plan.

"Okay, then tell me what this Huang Wenlong is like!" Sha Zhu asked.

"Huang Wenlong is addicted to gambling, and he gambles a lot. He wins or loses five or six hundred or even thousands of dollars in every game. How can a person like him be clean?" Squad Leader Wang answered in a low voice.

"Oh? How do you know all this?" Sha Zhu asked with a little suspicion.

Squad leader Wang was not surprised by Sha Zhu's questioning: "Hey! The guy guarding the casino is my buddy. He accidentally let it slip when we were drinking."

"I really didn't expect this. He looks like a serious person. I even heard that this guy doesn't even accept cigarettes and alcohol?" Sha Zhu frowned and muttered to himself thoughtfully.

Squad leader Wang said with disdain, "Those are just superficial phenomena. He doesn't care about such small favors. Huang Wenlong is simply a freak. He relied on the power of his wife's family to rise step by step, but when his wife's family was identified as a wealthy family, he was eager to draw a clear line with them. Even so, his wife did not blame him, and even used her connections to help him keep his current position as deputy factory director."

"Then where does he get the money for gambling?" Sha Zhu asked curiously.

"Have you forgotten what work he is responsible for? As long as the house is built, won't money flow into his pocket continuously?" Squad Leader Wang pointed out.

Sha Zhu nodded suddenly realizing, but then he thought of another thing - various accidents occurred frequently in the factory every year, and huge maintenance costs had to be paid every year.

"Oh my god! So this is the real big shot!" Sha Zhu couldn't help but sigh, and said to squad leader Wang sincerely: "Huang Wenlong is really smart! Every year he breaks things down and then repairs them, and then breaks them again after repairing them. It's so easy to make money this way! And he does it so cleanly and neatly!"

Squad leader Wang took a puff of cigarette, slowly exhaled the smoke and said, "That's right. It's hard to catch him even if you want to. Take the factory building you put out of fire last time for example! Huang Wenlong was in charge of this matter before. At the junction of cement and cement, he deliberately instructed others to either make the area swell or put less ash. As a result, it needed repairs later... You know, those who were doing the repairs kept delaying until the entire project was finished and the mechanical equipment was about to be moved in, and they still hadn't finished their work!"

"It's not difficult to understand these circumstances, but the people who work for him will definitely not betray him!"

Sha Zhu scratched his head and muttered to himself, "That's what I said, why didn't Huang Wenlong take the money when he saw it before!"

Sha Zhu couldn't think of any way to deal with Huang Wenlong, and he was so anxious that he turned around and around on the ground. He turned around and saw squad leader Wang drinking water calmly, and he knew that the old man must have an idea.

"Old Wang, what do you have in mind? Tell me now!" Squad Leader Wang took a sip of tea calmly and said two words: "Huang Wenlong's granddaughter!"

"Come on, Huang Wenlong's granddaughter can still..." However, looking at the determined expression of Squad Leader Wang, Sha Zhu couldn't help but mutter to himself again.

Squad leader Wang stared at He Yuzhu with a sharp gaze. Seeing that he was still looking at him calmly, he continued:

Huang Wenlong had a son and a daughter. His daughter married far away, but his son Huang Tao stayed in this city.

Huang Tao has a daughter named Huang Tingting, who is about your age.

Mrs. Huang Wenlong really loves her precious granddaughter.

Back then, when the Huang family was identified as a wealthy family, the girl stood on her grandmother's side without hesitation. Later, when Huang Wenlong encountered setbacks in his career and his position was in danger, it was she who begged her grandmother and asked her grandfather for help, so that she was able to keep her position as deputy factory director.

So, if you can conquer this little girl, then her grandfather will naturally listen to you!

At this point, Squad Leader Wang looked at He Yuzhu meaningfully.

However, after hearing this, Sha Zhu fell silent. Deep down in his heart, he really didn't want to rely on an innocent little girl to achieve his career, and this behavior made him feel guilty.

At this moment, Squad Leader Wang was also staring at He Yuzhu silently. He knew very well what the final choice would be for this upright and kind man in front of him.

The reason why Huang Wenlong was mentioned first is simply because this path is relatively easier.

As for others, they need to pay more and break greater bottom lines to achieve success.

And if you want to get promoted and make money, why do you need to talk about morality? Haven’t you seen those officials euphemistically call this behavior “political means”?

In fact, to put it bluntly, it is just to find a plausible excuse for yourself by any means necessary!

At this moment, Sha Zhu finally realized that he had to make an important decision at the crossroads of his life!
