Siheyuan: Learning to be the sixth

He Yuzhu woke up early the next morning. In order to have a good image, he went to the public faucet to wash early. He was afraid that there would be too many people and he would not be able to wash cleanly.

Just as I was about to go home for breakfast after washing up, I heard an old man named Yi Zhonghai shouting, "Zhu Zi, wait a moment, I want to talk to you about something."

When He Yuzhu heard that it was the old man Yi Zhonghai calling him, he turned around and looked at Jia Dongxu who was following the old man. He Yuzhu felt like he was eating a fly and felt nauseous and wanted to vomit.

He said expressionlessly: "Uncle, please tell me what you want to say. I have something else to do later."

Uncle Yi Zhonghai said with a smile: "Zhu Zi, I heard that there is a misunderstanding between you and Jia Dongxu. I came here to mediate between you two."

He Yuzhu glanced at Jia Zhongxu and said, "There is no misunderstanding between Jia Dongxu and me. We are just enemies now."

Upon hearing He Yuzhu's anger, Uncle Yi Zhonghai hurried to smooth things over and said, "Jia Dongxu has realized his mistake. Besides, he is doing this for your own good. He is afraid that you will take a detour."

He Yuzhu snorted coldly and said, "That's not necessary. Everyone should just mind their own business and live their own lives. I can't afford this kind of kindness."

Uncle Yi Zhonghai hurriedly said: "Zhu Zi, we are all neighbors. Dong Xu is a few years older than you. He cares about you, but he just uses the wrong method."

Looking at He Yuzhu who said nothing, Yi Zhonghai thought that his moral kidnapping was successful, so he said: "Zhuzi, I'll let Jia Dongxu apologize to you now, how about this matter be over?"

He Yuzhu burst out laughing when he heard this and said, "Uncle, you think this is too simple. Jia Dongxu is trying to kill me. I can't just say sorry and let it go. That's impossible."

When the uncle Yi Zhonghai saw that this plan didn't work, he asked: "Zhu Zi, then tell me how to solve this problem."

He Yuzhu snorted coldly and said, "It's easy to solve this matter. Just hold a meeting of the whole institute, and have Jia Dongxu admit that he deliberately framed me and apologize to me. Then I will reluctantly forgive him."

When Uncle Yi Zhonghai heard this, he thought that if he did as He Yuzhu asked, Jia Dongxu's reputation would be ruined.

Just when Uncle Yi Zhonghai was thinking about how to continue brainwashing He Yuzhu.

Jia Dongxu behind him shouted: "Silly Zhu, I'm giving you face, right? I came here to tell you something. I already think highly of you. But you still don't know what's good for you. I won't serve you anymore." After saying that, he turned around and left.

He Yuzhu, who hadn't heard anyone call him "Shazhu" for a long time, kicked Jia Dongxu to the ground.

He said to Uncle Yi Zhonghai: "Uncle, I've already told you not to call me Shazhu anymore. Since Jia Dongxu doesn't respect people, I'll teach him a lesson."

Then he said to Jia Dongxu who was lying on the ground: "Since you can do the first day, don't blame me for doing the fifteenth. Let's wait and see."

After saying that, they walked home without paying any more attention to the two men, one lying on the ground in shame, the other in anger.

After dinner, as luck would have it, He Yuzhu, Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu went out at the same time. He Yuzhu and Jia Zhongxu gave each other a killing look, snorted, and walked towards the front yard.

When they reached the door, Director Yang's driver Xiao Cao called out, "Master He, get in the car quickly."

He Yuzhu quickly replied: "Okay, Master Cao, where should I sit?"

The driver, Xiao Cao, said: "Master He, the leader likes to sit in the front."

When He Yuzhu heard this, he immediately opened the car door and sat back.

Looking at the car going away, Jia Dongxu stammered: "Master, is that Director Yang's car?"

Yi Zhonghai said "hmm" with a look of surprise on his face.

One of them was feeling uneasy, while the other secretly compared Jia Dongxu and He Yuzhui. The master and apprentice, each with their own thoughts, walked towards the steel mill in silence.

In the car, He Yuzhu casually took out a pack of Mudan, opened it and handed one to the driver Xiao Cao, who looked at He Yuzhu who had taken the initiative to hand him a cigarette twice.

Xiao Cao took a puff of his cigarette and said slowly: "Master He, I know roughly where we should go today. I occasionally heard the factory manager say that the boss doesn't like people who gossip."

He stopped talking after that. When He Yuzhu heard that this was a good deed in exchange for his pack of cigarettes yesterday, although he knew how the plot would develop and was not afraid, the feeling of giving a rose and having the fragrance linger on one's hand was really nice.

So he happily handed the unpacked package of Peony to Xiao Cao and said, "Master Xiao Cao, take it and smoke it."

Xiao Cao didn't hesitate and put it in his pocket.

Arriving at the steel mill, Director Yang was slightly stunned when he saw He Yuzhu sitting in the back row. He thought he was a wonderful person, and then said with a smile: "Zhuzi, come with me to my leader's house to cook a meal today."

He Yuzhu said: "Don't worry, Director. I am good at cooking. I promise I won't embarrass you. I just want to know what kind of cuisine the leader likes to eat so that I can think about it and prepare it on the way."

Director Yang said: "The leader and his wife like Sichuan cuisine."

When He Yuzhu heard this, he said, "That's fine, Director. Just wait and see."

When I arrived at the entrance of the Propaganda Department, I helped Xu Damao move the projection equipment into the car. Then I saw fewer and fewer people on the roadside, and finally we arrived at a residential area with strict security and beautiful environment.

After going through layers of inspection, they finally arrived at the door of an exquisite three-story villa. Director Yang said, "You two wait here, I'll call you later."

After watching the factory director come in, Xu Damao asked softly: "Zhu Zi, how big of a leader must this be?"

He Yuzhu rolled his eyes and said, "Da Mao, put away your curiosity. When I came here, the factory director's driver reminded me that this big boss doesn't like people who gossip. You should be careful."
