Siheyuan: Learning to be the sixth

He Yuzhu never expected that the two elders had such a romantic story in the war-torn era.

Although the old man listened to his wife's narration with great confidence, the corners of his mouth were almost stretched to the back of his head.

Knowing that Aunt Cao was immune to alcohol, He Yuzhu didn't dare let the two elders drink too much and hurt their health.

"Grandpa, Auntie, how about the three of us drink this bottle tonight and have fun."

"Zhu Zi, I'll do as you say."

As we chatted, it was getting late. Although I felt very comfortable staying with the old man, I came here with a mission and I had to go back and think of a solution.

After eating and drinking, He Yuzhu helped Aunt Cao clean up and prepared to leave.

"Grandpa, Auntie, sorry to bother you today. I have to go back to the guesthouse. I also need to find someone to gather information. Time is tight and the task is heavy. I'll come over when I have time."

After the old couple looked at each other, Aunt Cao took He Yuzhu's hand and said, "Zhuzi, I know you are upset about the coal quota. If you trust me, just stay here tonight. Maybe there will be a turnaround tomorrow morning."

He Yuzhu was completely confused. Could it be that the two elders had some connection with the mine?

The old man also spoke up at this time: "Zhu Zi, just listen to your aunt. I will take you to the mine tomorrow morning. As for success or failure, it depends on you."

He Yuzhu never thought that he would get such a big surprise when he came to have a meal. This is just like searching for a needle in a haystack, but finally getting it without any effort. It seems that he still needs to do good deeds in the future.

Although I don’t know if it will be possible tomorrow, at least I don’t have to run around like a headless fly.

He Yuzhu, feeling relieved, stopped talking about going to the guesthouse.

"Grandpa, Auntie, thank you so much. To be honest, I am ready to go home empty-handed."

The old man smiled and said, "Zhu Zi, the reason why I gave you a chance is not only because of you, but also partly because my old leader, Mr. Liu, has said more than once that the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill is very important to us."

He Yuzhu didn't expect that the old leader the old man was referring to was actually Mr. Liu.

"Grandpa, I just went to the Iron Tower Kingdom with Mr. Liu last year."

"Yo~ This is really fate, what do you call this, old man~"

"Auntie, we really are from the same family."

After saying this, the three of them laughed heartily.

……

Early in the morning, after a good sleep, He Yuzhu got up and prepared a simple breakfast as if he was at home.

The two elders ate with great relish and said that their appetite had increased.

After breakfast, He Yuzhu was still thinking about helping Aunt Cao.

The old man put on his clothes and took his briefcase and said, "Zhu Zi, let your aunt take care of this little job by herself. Come with me now. Business is more important."

So He Yuzhu rode the old man's bicycle and took the old man with him, and under the old man's guidance, he went straight to the leadership office of the coal mine.

Arriving at the gate of the coal mine, He Yuzhu thought about how he had begged and pleaded for permission to enter the gate in the past few days, but the old man came and brought him in by scanning his face.

He Yuzhu felt like he was dreaming. On the way to the leader's office, he couldn't help but ask:

"Old man, why do I feel like everyone here knows you?"

Mr. Zhang pretended to be profound and said: "Zhu Zi, are you curious about my identity?"

He Yuzhu nodded uncomfortably.

The old man smiled and said: "It's nothing, actually. I led the people to liberate this coal mine. I am the first mine manager here."

He Yuzhu was also seriously struck by lightning at this moment.

"Old man, you are hiding your true strength."

"Hey~ Zhuzi, I've been away from the mine for many years. I don't know if my words are still effective. If this doesn't work, don't blame me."

"Old man, you are embarrassing me by saying that~"

The old man said that he didn't know whether his words were effective or not, but He Yuzhu didn't notice at all.

After all, you see someone coming to the door of the mine manager's office without knocking and just pushing the door open.

"Little Leo, I'm here to see you."

"Old man, why did you come here in person? If you have anything to say, just send someone to pass on the message."

As Director Li spoke, he quickly stood up and poured tea for the old man, but at the same time he was looking at He Yuzhu out of the corner of his eye.

He Yuzhu could only smile and said, "Hello, Director Li, my name is He Yuzhu, and I am the director of the logistics department of the Beijing Red Star Steel Rolling Mill."

Mine Manager Li originally thought that He Yuzhu was Mr. Zhang's junior and came here to find a job, but he never expected that the young man in front of him was only two levels younger than him.

Mr. Zhang got straight to the point and said, "Little Li, I came here today to ask for your help with Zhuzi. You can see how much my face is worth."

If it weren't for Director Li's face, He Yuzhu would have immediately given a thumbs up to the old man's mighty and domineering attitude.

Director Li was not annoyed but very happy when he saw the old man calling him "Little Li" all the time.

“Old man, this is the first time you’ve spoken in all these years. I have a hundred tons of quota in my hand, and I’ll give it all to Brother He.”

"Brother He, you know that the whole country is short of coal. This is the maximum I can give you."

He Yuzhu felt that what Director Li said did not seem to be a lie. One hundred tons was already far beyond his expectations.

He Yuzhu was about to say: "That's enough."

The old man on the side suddenly said: "Little Leo, I said something back, and you only give me this much~"

"Oh, I'm an old man now. In this situation, this 100 tons is already my limit. I really can't handle more."

"Little Leo, can't you really give me a little more indicators?"

Director Li thought for a moment and said, "Old man, to be honest, Comrade Zeng Zesheng and I both have a target of 100 tons. Do you know what the old man of the Zeng family is like now?"

The old man perked up when he heard that.

"Zhu Zi, here comes another 100 tons of yours~"

He Yuzhu was completely confused. "What did the old man say?"

"Little Li, can you tell Zhuzi how you got so old?"

Although Director Li didn't know why the old man did this, he still briefly told He Yuzhu about Mr. Zeng's situation.

After listening to this, He Yuzhu frowned. Why does it seem that Mr. Zeng has some symptoms of anorexia? This disease is not easy to cure, and the chances of success are 50-50.

But when he thought about it being another hundred tons, He Yuzhu still wanted to give it a try.

He Yuzhu handed his work permit as a full-time chef at the State Guesthouse to Director Li very directly.

Nothing can be more convincing than this.

When Director Li took it and looked at it, his heart was as if it were surging with waves.

I finally accepted such a young director-level cadre, and now here comes a state banquet chef who is no less competent than a director-level chef. Who exactly is this He Yuzhu?
