Siheyuan: If you ruin the reputation of the whole courtyard, I will move out

Zhang Yu smiled and said, "I want to stay by your side and watch you sleep. Such tranquility brings me incomparable inner peace." He Yushui turned to him and said solemnly, "Promise me that you will never leave again." "Well, I won't leave. I will protect you and the child." The two of them leaned against each other, sharing each other's body temperature, and at the same time felt the warm shelter given by each other's hearts.

"Brother, how much hardship did you endure in the disaster?" Her eyes were deep, revealing deep concern.

Little Zhang Yan ran into the room in a panic, breaking the momentary peace between the two. "Mom, are you up?" He was only three years old and his speech was still clumsy, but he climbed onto the bed nimbly. "Look, my son is here!" Zhang Yu smiled and embraced his son into the warm space between the two, half jokingly saying, "Look, my son thinks his daddy smells bad!" Little Zhang Yan raised his eyebrows to show his resistance.

The laughter of the three intertwined into a part of the morning, and He Yuzhu's family was finally reunited. After resting, Zhang Yu decided to visit Liu Xianjin's family. It was not until the afternoon that he stepped into the familiar house, and the enthusiastic Liu Xianjin waited expectantly. "I often think about the day you will come back." He looked at Zhang Yu with deep eyes and asked, "I haven't seen you for half a year. Have you changed in any way?"

Zhang Yu answered modestly, "I'm a little thinner, but I'm much more energetic, not bad." Hearing this, Liu Xianjin nodded with satisfaction. The topic changed to Liu Xianjin's early retirement, and Zhang Yu asked, "Master, I remember you said that you would continue to work hard for a few more years in your position. Why did you choose to retire early?"

When Zhang Yu mentioned this, Liu Xianjin's expression flashed a little complicated, but then disappeared. "Time makes people grow old. The factory director once discussed this with me. He suggested that I step down and let you take my place." Zhang Yu confirmed, "Yes, the factory director did say that this was Master's recommendation."

Generally speaking, it is quite rare for him to get such a promotion at his age. Liu Xianjin continued, "You know, your bravery in that disaster left a deep impression on everyone. After you came back, the stories you told were widely praised, not only by the senior members of the team."

"Resign?" Liu Xianjin raised his voice in astonishment, as if he couldn't believe the news. In his mind, state-owned enterprises have always represented stability and generous treatment, and are regarded as reliable guarantees.

Today, Zhang Yu is not just an ordinary worker, but also a team leader of drivers and a key figure in the steel plant. He can be considered a member of the management team. As a driver, he already has a good income. With the more than 80 yuan subsidy from the position of team leader, he has the opportunity to attend meetings to discuss factory affairs, which is a rare resource.

"Considering your relationship with the factory, your future is bright. Why do you want to give up such a stable position?" Liu Xianjin couldn't understand this decision.

Zhang Yu's thinking is profound and foresighted. Although his life in the factory is comfortable, as a person born in the late 70s, he knows that the door to change will open next year, which means new opportunities and challenges are in front of him. What he pursues is not only comfort, but also closely following the pace of the times to explore the road to wealth.

However, Liu Xianjin had only been working for many years and was somewhat incapable of grasping new and trendy ideas, making it difficult for him to fully understand Zhang Yu's concepts and ambitions.

"Master, there will be major changes in the country, and I hope to use this to change our living conditions." Zhang Yu explained his decision.

Liu Xianjin asked doubtfully, "Is it because you heard the news circulating in the disaster area?"

"I understand that the policy may become loose, and I plan to take this opportunity to try to do business." Zhang Yu said firmly, "Are you willing to be an entrepreneur, my ?"

Liu Xianjin frowned: "You just mentioned that you wanted to do trade. How much profit can you make by setting up a roadside stall?" He questioned.

However, Zhang Yu replied with a smile: "I plan to develop logistics and directly purchase goods from the south and transport them to the capital for sale."

Liu Xianjin seemed helpless, as if he had encountered a rotten tree that was beyond saving. "You are confused, the vehicles are all public, and private individuals are not allowed to buy trucks to transport goods. How can it be possible to transport goods with horses?" He expressed his concerns.

In fact, Zhang Yu has his own unknown ability. As long as there is a ticket, he can transport goods. Next year, the reform of Guangdong and Fujian will begin, and the import and export trade will increase significantly. It is not difficult to seize the opportunity and easily accumulate wealth.

At first, he used storage space to gradually accumulate funds. When the policy of private car purchase was opened, he planned to buy trucks and operate in a fleet. If he seized the opportunity early, his road to wealth would be smoother.

However, Zhang Yu was not in a position to reveal these secrets, so he had to use fictitious information to comfort the other party.

"I have been in contact with the railway department, and there is a high possibility that I can obtain the right to use the truck compartment." Zhang Yu deliberately sounded very confident.

Liu Xianjin's eyes suddenly widened and he said in surprise: "Can you handle this kind of thing? Do you have a backer like Director Li's father-in-law...!" He remembered something that puzzled him.

"Master, do you know who Director Li's father-in-law is?" Zhang Yu asked back with a puzzled look on his face.

Liu Jinbu said impatiently: "Listen, Li Baonian and his father-in-law are causing trouble. You must not get involved. Draw a clear line between them immediately."

Full of curiosity, Zhang Yu then asked: "Master, do you have any inside information?"

Liu Xianjin looked heavy-hearted. After thinking for a while, he told Zhang Yu: "To be honest, it was not my intention to retire early. Director Yang discussed this issue with me."

Zhang Yu frowned and asked, "Why is this happening?"

Liu Xianjin sighed and told him the fact that surprised him: "In recent years, your driving team has secretly resold the factory's products for Li Baonian. You know this."

Zhang Yu nervously responded: "That was under duress, even Director Yang knows that!"

"Later, I chose to take the responsibility alone. Fortunately, the factory director helped me a lot. He arranged for me to retire early and reduced my pension by half. This gave me a relatively decent way to bid farewell to my job." His tone was full of bitterness.

These words shocked Zhang Yu greatly. He had never imagined that there were so many twists and turns behind Liu Xianjin's retirement. There must be a deeper reason behind Director Yang's complicated expression yesterday.

"Why is the factory director so determined? Didn't he keep all the promises he made to us..." Zhang Yu seemed a little angry.

"Don't blame the factory director. He is also under a lot of pressure. He doesn't want to let trivial matters affect his future after returning to the workplace." Liu Xianjin comforted Zhang Yu and tried to ease his excitement.

Liu Xianqian further said with relief: "My life is good now. I still have a 50% pension, and the small treasury accumulated over the years is enough to support me. As for the house, the factory only allows me to live there until the end of next month. Your wife has already found a way to solve it. If it doesn't work, I will consider returning to my hometown in the countryside." He changed the subject.

"Now the country has strictly restricted private real estate transactions. Where will you find a new residence?" Zhang Yu expressed some worry.

Liu Xianjin suggested: "Otherwise, we can try this plan. My family has an unused room in the compound, which can be temporarily used by you. It is a good place that no one cares about."

"How can I bear to ask you to do this? Your situation does not require this." Liu Xianjin flatly refused, "I said this just to be on guard. The higher-ups have begun to pay attention to Li Baonian and his father-in-law. I advise you to stay away from them!"

"Even if there are some extra vacant rooms, there is no need to force it. The living conditions in the countryside are naturally not comparable to those in the city, and there may be an adjustment process." Zhang Yu held down Liu Xianjin who was about to refute, intending to close the topic.
