Siheyuan: Yan Jiekuang's carefree life

Lou Xiao'e had already explained the matter, so there was no need to continue to pester Gu Shun. After saying hello to Gu Shun, he went back to his room. Gu Shun also sorted out Lou Xiao'e's request and immediately reported it to his superior. Soon the document was delivered to the chief designer's desk.

In a blink of an eye, it was Lou Xiaoe's last day in Sijiucheng. Because she had to go to the airport after lunch, the morning was free time. Yan Jiekuang and Su Zihui arrived at Sijiucheng Hotel early, picked up Lou Xiaoe and left the hotel.

Time was limited, so Yan Jiekuang and his wife did not dare to take Lou Xiaoe to a place too far today. They took Lou Xiaoe to Beixinqiao for a stroll. Then they had lunch at Quanjude and sent Lou Xiaoe back to the hotel.

After returning home, Su Zihui said, "Although I have only met Lou Xiao'e twice, I found that she is different from the people I usually meet."

Yan Jiekuang asked: "Why is it different?!"

Su Zihui said: "I can't really explain it, but it's very comfortable to be with her anyway."

"Birds of a feather flock together. The fact that you can get along with her means you two are the same kind of people." After saying that, Yan Jiekuang walked to the cabinet, opened it and took out two bottles of wine.

Su Zihui asked: "What are you doing with the wine?!"

Yan Jiekuang replied: "What day is today? Have you forgotten?!"

"Ouch?! I was so happy that I forgot that grandpa and his family were coming over for dinner tonight." Su Zihui tapped his forehead and said, "Now that we live close by, it's convenient to go back and forth, so I forgot about it."

"Now that we live close to each other, we can take care of each other. Our dad has someone to play chess with, and our mom has someone to chat with." After saying that, Yan Jiekuang walked over to Su Zihui and sat down, then continued, "Originally, I wanted to go to Gangcheng with the inspection team after New Year's Day. Now that I think about it, forget it. Let's go directly after we finish our exams and have a holiday. We have Gangcheng ID cards, so we can go to Yangcheng and take a chartered flight to Gangcheng. We'll stay in Gangcheng until before the New Year and come back."

Su Zihui thought for a moment and said, "Forget it. I won't go with you this time. Xueyi is still breastfeeding. I have been feeding his brother and sister for eight months. He has only been drinking milk for a few months, which is too little. It's not good for his health in the future. Let's stick to the original plan. I will go with you next summer."

Yan Jiekuang thought for a few minutes and said, "Then I'll go early and come back early."

At the same time, in a courtyard not far from Yan Jiekuang's house, Su Zhongguo and Ding Huawei were sitting in the study playing chess. Ding Huawei looked at the chessboard and asked, "Have you arranged Yanwu's work?!"

Su Zhongguo picked up a chess piece, hesitated for a while, and put it on the chessboard while saying, "It has been arranged. Let him go to the Sijiucheng Engine Factory to be the factory director."

Ding Huawei said: "Isn't this equivalent to downgrading?!"

Su Zhongguo replied: "Too many people have changed jobs recently. There are only so many positions. It's good enough to give him this position. As long as he does a good job, it doesn't matter where he works! "

Ding Huawei said: "The wind is starting to change. The old way doesn't seem to work anymore. I think why don't we use some connections to transfer him to another place?!"

Su Zhongguo looked up at Ding Huawei and asked, "Where do you think we should transfer him to for verification?!"

Ding Huawei was immediately stumped by the question. Su Zhongguo said, "There are regulations from above. Officials' children are not allowed to engage in business. Don't forget that Yan Jiekuang is not a quiet person. Now he dares to go against the rules and jointly establish a company with others in Gangcheng. What do you think he would not dare to do if we open up the policy here in the future?!"

Ding Huawei said: "Among so many children, the one I trust the most is Yan Jiekuang. Don't underestimate him because he is brave. But this kid knows when to advance and when to retreat. He knows what to do and what not to do."

Su Zhongguo added: "It is precisely because he knows when to advance and when to retreat that I cannot let him suffer any loss. Let's not talk about anything else. In just these short three months, how many warships have he and the company opened by the Lou family brought back for us?!"

Ding Huawei said: "I heard that the girl from the Lou family came to Sijiu City and wanted to take back those houses?!"

Su Zhongguo said, "She is not the only one who wants a house. Now people in many places are asking for houses. It is easy to get those houses allocated to cadres or units as factories, office buildings and dormitories. It is basically impossible to get back those houses allocated to ordinary people. However, this matter has been decided. The houses that can be taken back will be returned to them and a certain amount of rent will be compensated. If they cannot be taken back, they will be given cash. The only difficult thing now is that the Lou family wants dividends from those years. This is a considerable amount. Although the Red Star Steel Mill has divided up all the money now, it actually has little money on its books. If the Red Star Steel Mill is asked to pay, then the steel mill will go bankrupt. People who rely on the factory for their livelihood will have no food to eat. There is no precedent for letting the Lou family to invest. Now they are having a headache over this matter!"

"Dad!" Su Yanwu came in from outside at this time. Su Zhongguo and Ding Huawei looked at Su Yanwu. Ding Huawei asked, "Aren't you supposed to come back tomorrow? Why are you back today?!"

Su Yanwu replied, "If things go smoothly, I will come back early. Originally, the higher-ups asked me to be the director of the Sijiucheng Engine Factory. I was ready to take up the post. Unexpectedly, the appointment was changed at the last minute. I was asked to be the director of the Sijiucheng Machinery Repair Factory and concurrently the bookmaker. In addition, I was also listed in the Municipal CPPCC."

Ding Huawei and Su Zhongguo were both stunned. Ding Huawei asked, "Where is the machinery repair factory?!"

Su Yanwu replied, "This factory was originally a subsidiary of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill. After the storm passed, it was formed by merging the three industries of five machine repair factories and a heavy machine tool factory. It is responsible for the maintenance of cars and machinery in the entire city. Although the factory is not large, it has a lot of workers. There are almost two thousand people in total."

Ding Huawei said: "Isn't this factory just a hodgepodge?!"

Su Yanwu replied: "You are right to think so. It is just a hodgepodge. It relies entirely on taking maintenance tasks from outside to make a living. If there are no tasks, the factory will close sooner or later."

Su Zhongguo frowned tightly and said, "Even if there is a vacancy, it can't be that serious, right?!"

Su Yanwu said, "Dad, many people have been discharged from the army recently. It's normal that it's difficult to arrange work. I'm not afraid of anything else now. I'm just afraid that one day there will be no tasks in the factory. What should I do then?!"

Su Zhongguo said: "It is better to rely on yourself than on others. Go ask your son-in-law. He may have a solution."

Su Yanwu was stunned for a moment and said, "He's a college student, what can he do?!"

Ding Huawei laughed and said, "It seems that you still don't know your son-in-law very well. This kid is better than you. If he was born in the war years, he would definitely be as successful as you."

Su Zhongguo said, "Jie Kuang and Zihui will bring the children over for dinner in a while. You can ask them and find out then!"

Su Yanwu thought about it and nodded, "Okay then! I'll ask him when he comes. I used to be a person who didn't have the right to interfere in other people's affairs. Now I have to take care of the food, drink, and toilet of more than 2,000 people in the factory. It gives me a headache just thinking about it. I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to sleep well in the future!"
