Siheyuan: I, an ordinary resident, the king of chefs

Li Jingjing was stunned for a moment, and a blush appeared on her face. She lowered her head and said softly: "Zhang Liang, I...I like you too."

Zhang Liang was overjoyed. He held Li Jingjing's hand and said, "Jingjing, thank you. From now on, let's face every challenge in life together, okay?"

Li Jingjing nodded, tears in her eyes: "Okay, let's go together."

They support and encourage each other and face various difficulties and challenges in life together. Zhang Liang works harder because he knows that he is working not only for the workers in the factory, but also for the future of him and Li Jingjing.

However, life is not always smooth sailing. Rumors still exist in the factory, and some workers are dissatisfied with Zhang Liang's leadership and position, and often speak ill of him behind his back.

One evening, Zhang Liang and Li Jingjing were having dinner at home. Li Jingjing noticed that Zhang Liang looked a little heavy, and asked with concern: "Zhang Liang, is your work not going well today?"

Zhang Liang sighed and said, "Jingjing, some people in the factory have a problem with me and always say bad things about me behind my back. I don't know how to deal with it."

Li Jingjing gently held Zhang Liang's hand and said, "Zhang Liang, you have to believe in yourself. You are a capable person. As long as you continue to work hard, everyone will see your efforts and achievements sooner or later."

Zhang Liang looked at Li Jingjing gratefully: "Jingjing, thank you. Your support is very important to me."

Li Jingjing smiled and said, "We are a couple, we should support each other. You have to believe that everything will be fine."

Zhang Liang and Li Jingjing decided to hold a small banquet in the courtyard and invite neighbors to celebrate their engagement. This is not only a major event in their lives, but also a rare happy event in the courtyard. Zhang Liang and Li Jingjing started preparing early, cleaned the courtyard, and hung red lanterns and ribbons to add to the festive atmosphere.

It was a sunny day with a gentle breeze. The yard was filled with round tables, each covered with a red tablecloth, making it look particularly festive. Zhang Liang and Li Jingjing stood at the gate of the yard to welcome the neighbors.

Yan Bugui arrived first, carrying a basket of fresh fruit. He smiled and said, "Little Zhang Liang, Jingjing, I wish you a happy marriage and a happy life!"

Zhang Liang took the basket and said gratefully, "Thank you, Uncle Yan. We are glad you came."

Yan Bugui patted Zhang Liang on the shoulder and said, "Boy, you are now the pride of our hospital. You must treat Jingjing well."

Then, Qin Huairu came in with two children, holding a pot of blooming flowers in her hands: "Little Zhang Liang, I wish you and Jingjing happiness forever. I prepared this pot of flowers especially for you."

Li Jingjing took the flowers and said with a smile: "Thank you, Sister Qin, the flowers are so beautiful."

Qin Huairu smiled and said, "You two should live a good life. If you need any help, just let me know."

As time went by, more neighbors arrived, each with gifts and blessings. Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, Jia Dongxu and others sent their blessings one after another. Even the deaf old lady, with the help of Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu, presented a red scarf she had knitted herself.

Yi Zhonghai came over, holding a box in his hand: "Little Zhang Liang, Jingjing, this is a small gift from me to you, I hope you like it."

Zhang Liang opened the box and found a pair of exquisite porcelain cups. He was touched and said, "Thank you, Master Yi, you are so thoughtful."

Yi Zhonghai smiled and said, "I hope you can drink tea from this pair of cups every morning and feel the sweetness of life."

While chatting and eating delicious food, Zhang Liang and Li Jingjing kept toasting everyone, thanking them for coming and blessing.

Li Chun came over with a plate of food and said with a smile: "Little Zhang Liang, today is your big day. Come, have a drink!"

Zhang Liang raised his glass and said with a smile: "Li Chun, thank you for your support. Come on, cheers!"

The two drank it all in one gulp, and Li Chun patted Zhang Liang on the back: "Remember, no matter what difficulties you encounter in the future, I will face them with you."

Yan Bugui raised his glass and said loudly: "Everyone, today is the big day for little Zhang Liang and Jingjing. Let's all wish them well. Cheers!"

The sound of "cheers" rang out in the courtyard, and everyone's face was filled with smiles. Zhang Liang looked at this scene and felt very warm in his heart. He knew that this was not only a happy moment for him and Li Jingjing, but also a happy event for the entire courtyard.

Halfway through the banquet, Yan Bugui stood up and said, "Today we not only wish to bless little Zhang Liang and Jingjing, but also hold a special ceremony for them to make their love even better."

Everyone nodded in agreement. Yan Bugui continued, "First, we want the bride and groom to exchange rings, which symbolizes their eternal love."

Zhang Liang and Li Jingjing looked at each other, smiled and took out the prepared rings from their pockets. Amidst the applause and blessings from everyone, they put the rings on each other's fingers.

Yan Bugui continued, "Next, we would like to ask the bride and groom to light the pair of red candles together, symbolizing that their life will be prosperous from now on."

Zhang Liang and Li Jingjing lit red candles together. The light of the fire reflected on their faces, making them look particularly warm.

After the ceremony, everyone toasted again to celebrate the couple. Qin Huairu smiled and said, "Little Zhang Liang, Jingjing, you should live a good life in the future. If you have any difficulties, we will help you."

"Thank you for your blessings. We will definitely cherish this happiness."

As night fell, the banquet gradually came to an end. Neighbors said goodbye one after another, and Zhang Liang and Li Jingjing stood at the door to see everyone off.

Before leaving, Yi Zhonghai said to Zhang Liang: "Little Zhang Liang, you have done a great job today. I believe you will be happy."

Zhang Liang nodded: "Thank you, Master Yi. Don't worry, we will definitely work hard."

After the neighbors left, feeling the tranquility of the night, Li Jingjing leaned on Zhang Liang's shoulder and said softly: "Zhang Liang, I am really happy today, I am very grateful to you."

Zhang Liang held Li Jingjing's hand and said gently, "Jingjing, I am also very happy. We will always be happy like this."

Li Jingjing smiled and nodded: "Yes, we will always be happy."

Zhang Liang looked at the starry sky, his heart full of expectations for the future. He knew that although there would be challenges and difficulties in life, as long as Li Jingjing was by his side, he would have the courage to face everything.

The next day, Zhang Liang got up early as usual and prepared to go to work. Li Jingjing prepared breakfast for him and said gently, "Zhang Liang, you must work hard today as well."

Zhang Liang smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, Jingjing, I will try my best."

After arriving at the factory, Zhang Liang continued to devote himself to the intense work. He knew that as the deputy director, he shouldered important responsibilities and had to win everyone's trust and support with practical actions.

One day at noon, Zhang Liang was busy in the office when he suddenly received a call. Li Chun's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Little Zhang Liang, are you free? A few of us friends would like to invite you to dinner and talk about your recent work."

Zhang Liang readily agreed: "Okay, I also want to chat with you all."

They met at a small restaurant. When Zhang Liang arrived, he saw Li Chun, Liu Haizhong, Jia Dongxu and other friends already sitting at the table waiting for him.

Li Chun smiled and called out, "Little Zhang Liang, come here quickly. Today we are a gathering of old friends."

After Zhang Liang sat down, Li Chun poured him a glass of wine and said, "Little Zhang Liang, how is the factory doing recently? We all heard that you are making a lot of reforms, and the results are good."

Zhang Liang said modestly: "It's nothing, I just want to do something for the factory. Your support is very important. Without your help, I can't do anything by myself."

Liu Haizhong nodded: "Yes, we all saw it. Little Zhang Liang, you are a capable person, we believe in you."

Jia Dongxu also said: "Yes, little Zhang Liang, we support you. If you need anything, just tell me."

Zhang Liang looked at everyone with gratitude: "Thank you for your support. I will continue to work hard and live up to your expectations."

During the dinner, everyone had a great time chatting, and Zhang Liang also felt the support and encouragement from his friends. He knew that with the support of these friends, he would be more confident to face the challenges at work.

When they got home in the evening, Zhang Liang and Li Jingjing talked about what happened during the day. Li Jingjing said gently: "Zhang Liang, it's great that you have the support of these friends."

Zhang Liang smiled and said, "Yes, they are all my friends for many years. With them around, I feel more powerful."

Li Jingjing nodded: "We must cherish these friends, they are an important part of our lives."

Zhang Liang agreed: "Yes, Jingjing. We must work together and cherish everyone who cares about and supports us."

In the following days, Zhang Liang continued to devote all his energy to his work, constantly improving the work process and increasing production efficiency. His efforts were recognized by the leaders and workers, and the atmosphere in the factory became better and better.

One month later, he stood on the podium again to report his work results. His speech received applause from the audience, who recognized his efforts and contributions.

"Little Zhang Liang, you have done a great job. Keep working hard. The future of our factory depends on you young people." Zhang Liang strengthened his belief. He knew that his efforts were not only for

After a series of misfortunes and efforts, Zhang Liang finally had the opportunity to study abroad. This was a rare opportunity for him, not only to learn more advanced technology and management experience, but also to expand his international vision. He decided to seize this opportunity, study hard, and lay a solid foundation for his future career in his hometown.

During his study abroad, Zhang Liang was not alone. He made friends with classmates and friends from all over the world, and studied and communicated with them. They shared the culture and industrial experience of their respective countries, and Zhang Liang benefited a lot from these exchanges. He paid special attention to learning advanced management concepts and technological innovations, which will be of great benefit to his future work.
