Siheyuan: I earned foreign exchange in the heyday

"It's just our two families. We didn't invite anyone else. I can't afford to invite more people."

Sha Zhu hesitated for a moment, he really wanted to go.

But he was also afraid that there was some conspiracy behind this, and without his uncle around, he was indeed a little panicked.

"I have no money, no job, and I am not as good as Nan Yi in cooking.

Why are you inviting me to dinner? Let me make it clear first, my sister is still young, so we won’t talk about marriage now.”

As soon as Sha Zhu said this, Yu Shui's face turned red. She stopped doing her homework and ran into her room.

Looking at the rain running into the room, Cai Yinghong hurriedly explained.

"Brother Zhuzi, this has nothing to do with the rain."

Sha Zhu looked at Cai Yinghong and it seemed that she really didn't like Yu Shui. He thought for a while and said.

“Your sisters are no good, they have bad figures and dark skin.

I've been in the city for such a long time, and it's not all in vain.

She is a rural hukou. Even if I were down and out, I would never marry a rural girl."

Cai Yinghong was speechless. What was going on in this idiot Zhu’s head?

It seems that if they don't go to Sha Zhu's house to make things clear today, Sha Zhu's big mouth will make their family lose face.

Just imagine if this silly Zhu were to show off in the yard.

It is said that Cai Yinghong introduced her sister to Sha Zhu, but Sha Zhu didn't like her. How can he live with his three sisters?

So he quickly said, "Brother Zhuzi, it's not what you think. I just have something to ask you, so I'd like to treat you to a meal."

Only then did Sha Zhu realize that he had something to ask for help.

"Tell me what's the matter. Just call me Brother Zhuzi for these three words and I will be your lover."

"Is there a female comrade named Liu Lan in the canteen of your steel mill?"

Sha Zhu blinked, looked at Cai Yinghong seriously and said, "No matter where you heard the name Liu Lan from.

Listen to my advice, Liu Lan is not suitable for you, so stop asking about her."

Cai Yinghong was already cursing in her heart.

As the old saying goes, there are only wrong names, but no wrong nicknames. The nickname of Shazhu is really not wrong.

If Cai Yinghong hadn't needed a favor from Sha Zhu today, she would have left long ago.

"Silly... What's the matter, Brother Zhuzi, I'm not looking for Liu Lan.

No, I want to find Liu Lan, but I don’t want to date him.

I want to ask Liu Lan for help, but I don’t know her, so I would like you to introduce her to me.”

At this moment, Sha Zhu suddenly understood and finally smiled.

After all, I really don’t have to cook today’s meal myself.

"Oh, why didn't you tell me earlier? I misunderstood that you wanted to date. Then let's go?"

Seeing Cai Yinghong nodded, he said yes.

"Yushui, stop hiding and come out quickly. Let's go to your brother Yinghong's house for dinner."

The three of them came to Cai Yinghong's house in the front yard and saw that Cai Yinghong's three sisters were still busy.

Sha Zhu then asked, "Liu Lan is just a kitchen helper in the cafeteria. I really can't think of anything. What do you want from her?"

I am quite familiar with her. Can you tell me what you want to see her about first?

I won't eat your meal for nothing. I know all about Liu Lan, tell me the story first.

Let me help you judge whether Liu Lan can help you.

"It's nothing, actually. It's just that Hou Mingjun has been targeting me in the factory recently.

It's obvious that I do the job no worse than others, but he insists that I do the worst.

Today I was directly transferred to the post of cleaning toilets by the HR department. Do you think Hou Mingjun is still a human being?

It’s because he went to the pharmaceutical factory and our two families stopped interacting.

Once I got back to the motorcycle factory, I was targeted everywhere.”

Sha Zhu nodded in agreement and said.

"I've long thought that Hou Mingjun, that shifty guy, is not a good person.

He knows nothing and just relies on flattering Chen Changan every day to get to the top.

The same goes for Chen Changan. He is indeed a good person with abilities, but he has always kept Hou Mingjun by his side and entrusted him with important tasks, but he did not do a good job.

Just wait and see, sooner or later Chen Changan will be dragged down by Hou Mingjun."

"Isn't it? I thought everyone thought Chen Changan was at least fair and just.

As a result, when I heard today that I would be transferred to clean the toilets, I went straight to Chen Changan, but he always sided with Hou Mingjun.

It's really disappointing. If Hou Mingjun continues to do this, the motorcycle factory will be finished sooner or later."

At this time, the first dish, fried bacon and cabbage was served.

The two of them drank and chatted with each other.

"Brother, you haven't told me what you want from Liu Lan?"

"Well, this has offended Hou Mingjun. With Chen Changan's favoritism, how can a small worker like me fight against those factory leaders?

I heard some time ago that the steel rolling mill was short of workers, especially lathe operators.

I thought about looking for Liu Lan and asking him to talk to Director Li to see if I could be transferred to the steel mill."

Sha Zhu looked at Cai Yinghong with mixed feelings and said, "Brother, this is not easy for you to handle.

It’s not wrong for you to ask Liu Lan for this matter, as she can indeed pass the message to Li Huaide.

If Li Huaide asked for the transfer, one by one, even Chen Changan would definitely give Li Huaide the face.

But the problem is that you live in this courtyard, so it’s difficult for you to handle this matter.”

Cai Yinghong was shocked and confused after hearing what Sha Zhu said.

Cai Yinghong quickly filled Sha Zhu's glass and then asked.

"Brother Zhuzi, can you explain to me how this job transfer has anything to do with where I live?"

Sha Zhu took a sip happily. He hadn't enjoyed drinking so well in a long time since he lost his job at the steel mill.

As expected, you still need to take a bite of meat and a sip of wine to eat comfortably.

"Think about it, Liu Lan told Li Huaide about your affairs.

If Li Huaide wants you, does he need to find Chen Changan?

Chen Changan favors Hou Mingjun. How could he not know that Hou Mingjun wants to deal with you?

Then should Chen Changan ask Hou Mingjun for his opinion?

How can Hou Mingjun let you go? Without the consent of your leaders, how can you go to the steel mill?

Do you think it is so easy to transfer positions? What can you do if the company won't let you go?

Would Li Huaide fight to the death with Chen Changan just for a little worker like you whom he has never met?

If you didn't live in this yard, would Chen Changan and Hou Mingjun know who you are?

Upon inquiry, I found out he was just an ordinary worker and he just left.

But what about now? How can I watch you go to the steel mill? It's impossible to even think about it."

After hearing what Sha Zhu said, Cai Yinghong was dumbfounded. She originally thought that as long as she could convince Liu Lan, this matter would be accomplished.

Who would have thought that after so many twists and turns, this matter would end up back with Hou Mingjun.

Thinking about Hou Mingjun, that petty man who would never let go of any wrong, how could he let him go so easily?

Cai Yinghong felt sick as she watched Sha Zhu eat the meat with chopsticks one by one.

Cai Yinghong felt a little distressed. Today's meal was in vain. However, she still had to salvage it no matter what.

"So is there really no way out of this?"
