Siheyuan: Silly Pillar is Kind

Two whole days have passed, and Wang Li still has not returned to work at the steel mill, which makes Song Jia very troubled and worried.

The work that was originally shared by two people now fell on her shoulders alone, causing her workload to increase suddenly.

What's worse is that Song Jia knew very well that her skills were not as proficient as Wang Li's, so she had to work overtime every day to complete the task.

She was in an extremely irritable mood at the moment! Just when Song Jia was upset, she suddenly heard a few people talking in the office: "Have you seen Director He's wife? She is so beautiful!"

"Which one? When did you see it?"

"Just now, when I went to the warehouse, I met a new warehouse manager. When I asked, I found out that she was He Yuzhu's wife."

"There are many beautiful girls in our factory. Could it be that Director He's wife is more beautiful than our factory beauty?"

"In my opinion, the two are equally matched! He Yuzhu is so lucky."

"Hey, the He Yuzhu you are talking about, is he the He Yuzhu in the kitchen?"

"Yes, that's him."

Hearing this, Song Jia's heart instantly became confused. Since He Yuzhu already had a wife, what was going on between him and Wang Li?

Countless questions flooded her mind, causing her to fall into deep confusion...

No, I must go find He Yuzhu and ask for clarification!

After saying that, Song Jia suddenly stood up and walked out the door quickly, leaving several male colleagues in the room stunned.

"Hey, did you see that? Why did Song Jia react so strongly when she heard that He Yuzhu had a wife?" One of the male colleagues broke the silence first.

"I haven't heard that there's anything going on between them! But I've heard that Wang Li and He Yuzhu seemed to have something ambiguous." Another male colleague interjected.

"Tell me quickly! What's going on?" someone asked impatiently.

"Sun Hao got drunk one time and talked nonsense, cursing Wang Li for being immoral. But at that time, they hadn't even started dating, so I didn't take it to heart. I just thought that Wang Li liked He Yuzhu but looked down on Sun Hao." The male colleague continued to reveal.

"If it were me, I would also look down on Sun Hao. He really deserves the surname Sun, he is really a grandson."

As they were talking, someone glared fiercely at the male colleague who had just spoken.

Seeing everyone's eyes turned to him, he sighed helplessly: "Last time this guy made a mistake in a set of data. It was obviously caused by his carelessness, but in the end the director actually believed his lies and said that it was me who made the mix-up."

Hearing this, everyone expressed sympathy for him.

Wang Li quickly walked to the kitchen, found a helper, and asked him to call He Yuzhu out.

However, when she thought about it, she suddenly realized what identity she should use to question He Yuzhu? After all, there was no direct relationship between them.

Just as Sha Zhu stepped out of the door in confusion, he saw Song Jia standing in front of him.

He secretly wondered why this girl came to him.

At this moment, Song Jia was staring at He Yuzhu in front of him. After a period of continuous practice, although it was difficult to estimate how much vitality had been increased, his overall temperament had indeed been significantly improved.

For a moment, Song Jia was stunned.

"Song Jia, what do you want to talk to me about?" He Yuzhu was the first to break the silence. Song Jia suddenly came to her senses and asked directly: "He Yuzhu, I want to ask you, are you married?"

Hearing this, Sha Zhu's heart tightened and he immediately understood. He was only thinking about how to drive Wang Li out of the factory, but he never expected that there was actually Wang Li's best friend in the factory. It was really a mistake! The current situation caught him off guard.

"Song Jia, things are not as simple as you think. The reasons cannot be explained in a few words, and there is still a fire on my stove. I will tell you in detail after I finish the work at hand!" Before he finished speaking, Sha Zhu turned around and tried to escape. Unfortunately, he was caught by the quick-eyed and quick-handed Song Jia as soon as he took a step.

"Humph, you still want to run? He Yuzhu, if you don't tell me the reason today, I will go directly to Wang Li to ask clearly, and then I will see how you end up!"

Song Jia held He Yuzhu's arm tightly with both hands and looked at him firmly.

"Believe, believe, believe... Oh, auntie, can you please let go first? It's not appropriate for a grown woman to cling to a grown man in broad daylight!" He Yuzhu begged for mercy with a bitter face while twisting Song Jia's fingers.

Seeing He Yuzhu give in, Song Jia finally let go of his hand, but still insisted, "Well, tell me now!"

He Yuzhu scratched his head and sighed helplessly: "It's hard to explain it in one or two sentences. I'll tell you when I have time!"

Song Jia pretended to be magnanimous and said, "Okay, since you are busy now, come and pick me up after get off work in the evening and we can have a good chat." After that, without giving He Yuzhu a chance to refute, she turned around and left.

Looking at Song Jia's receding back, He Yuzhu couldn't help but feel confused. Could this little girl be interested in him? He pondered in his heart. However, the most urgent task at the moment was to keep her stable first.

On the other hand, Song Jia found the director and lied that she had an urgent matter at home and needed to go back to deal with it. Seeing her anxious expression, the director did not ask any more questions and readily approved an hour of leave.

Song Jia hurriedly borrowed a bicycle from someone else and pedaled hard towards home.

As soon as she entered the house, Song's mother saw her daughter running in in a panic. She hurriedly went up to ask the reason, but Song Jia did not answer. Instead, she went into the house and started changing clothes.

"My daughter, what are you rushing to do?" Song's mother asked anxiously.

"Mom, don't worry about it. I'll change my clothes and then go back to the factory." Song Jia said as she quickly changed her clothes.

Song's mother thought it was a girl's private matter and didn't want to ask too much, so she turned around and went back to her room.

Song Jia silently stared at the new dress she bought for the Chinese New Year. The dress cost her more than 20 yuan. In addition to paying the living expenses to her family and leaving enough money for food every month, she had saved up a lot of money to buy this only decent dress.

Thinking of the dazzling array of clothes in Wang Li's closet, Song Jia became more determined.

"I'm not wrong, I deserve those wonderful things!" She whispered to herself. However, at this moment, a crystal teardrop quietly rolled down her cheek, as if silently telling something...

In the end, Song Jia didn't even put on the new clothes. She just put it in her bag and hurried out with it.

"Mom, I'm leaving now. I have something to do with Wang Li tonight, so I might be back late."

Song Jia hesitated for a moment, then added: "If it's too late, I'll stay at Wang Li's house for one night, you don't have to worry about me!"

Song's mother responded softly, saying that she understood. Song's mother was not unfamiliar with Wang Li, because Song Jia had stayed overnight at her house several times before.

After returning to the factory, Song Jia first found the director to cancel her leave, and then threw herself into the busy work. However, at this moment, she was thinking about something in her mind...

At noon, all the factory directors and secretaries arrived at the restaurant on time.

After Director Wang gave the order, the waiters began to serve the dishes.

Looking at the delicious dishes on the table, Secretary Song smiled with satisfaction and said, "It looks great! Hahaha... It's really delicious, but I wonder how it tastes?"

Zhang Tiesheng at the side also echoed, "It's really great that the secretary selected Comrade He Yuzhu to participate in the training. Judging from the results of this meal, Comrade He Yuzhu's learning ability is really strong! It's really a blessing for him to be chosen by you, the secretary, at first sight! Hahahaha..."

The other factory managers also picked up their chopsticks and carefully tasted the dishes on the table.

These dishes were not only delicious, but also novel to them - because this was the first time in their lives that they had tasted such unique and exotic flavors!

At this time, someone said, "Secretary Song, you see, Comrade He Yuzhu has gained a lot from this study trip! In my opinion, if there is reception work in our factory in the future, can we do it..."

Secretary Song thought for a moment and then responded, "Well, this is a good idea, but it doesn't have to be too frequent. We can choose partners who can really bring significant benefits to our steel mill, such as raw material suppliers, coal mines, power plants and other units' leaders, and invite them to taste this authentic foreign food. However, everything has to be done in moderation. If we invite them too many times, they may not know how to cherish it! What do you think?"

As soon as the words fell, someone immediately agreed: "Secretary Song is right! Secretary Song is really thoughtful. With you, our factory has a backbone!"

Then, another person interrupted and said, "Yes, Secretary Song's idea is really great! It is worth our serious study and reference."

Faced with everyone's praise, Secretary Song smiled and bowed to everyone to show his humility.

Then, the pleasant discussion continued, with everyone expressing their opinions and making suggestions for the development of the factory.

However, when they were about to leave after eating, Zhang Tiesheng's voice was not loud but heard by everyone: "Comrade He Yuzhu also caught a spy today. He really made a great contribution!"

The rest of the people heard it but no one responded and they all went back to work!

Zhang Tiesheng smiled and left.
