Siheyuan, Me and the Yu Sisters

The next morning, Zhang Renkang yawned and had dark eyes. It was already three o'clock when he got back last night. He slept for less than three hours. Zhang Renkang got up and boiled a few eggs, intending to go to work and catch up on his sleep in the office.

Zhang Renkang had just finished washing up and was eating when the door was pushed open. Yu Li pushed her bicycle to the door and entered the room. Seeing Zhang Renkang like this, she came over with concern and asked

"Renkang, why do you look so bad?"

Zhang Renkang smiled and said

"I didn't sleep well last night. Maybe I'm too tired. I'll go to the office and take a nap later."

"Why are you here so early in the morning?"

Yu Li touched Zhang Renkang's forehead and said

"I plan to clean up the house today and move in here in the next few days."

Zhang Renkang forced a smile

"It's so cold, aren't you afraid of freezing?"

Yu Li said unhappily

"I mean, I live in He Yushui's house. Anyway, we are getting married next year, so we don't care what others say."

Zhang Renkang smiled bitterly and said

"Okay, you can stay here if you want. Go get your certificate revoked in a few days so that no one can use this to make trouble."

(At that time, getting married was very simple. A matchmaker would introduce two people. If they liked each other and thought the conditions were good, they could get married and live together on the same day. If they were more particular, they could set up a few tables and invite relatives, friends, and neighbors to the wedding, and it was considered a marriage. In that era of material scarcity, don't think about dowry or anything like that. Most families couldn't afford it. Just give some pots and pans. My grandfather only gave my grandmother three yuan as a betrothal gift when he married her, and he got nothing back.)

When Yu Li heard that Zhang Renkang was willing to get married, she excitedly pulled his arm and said

"Renkang, you said you wanted to get a certificate? Really? You didn't lie to me, did you?"

Zhang Renkang also remembered what Lou Xiao'e said last night. It seemed unfair to both Lou Xiao'e and Yu Li. Since the Lou family's departure was inevitable, he might as well treat Yu Li well. As for the relationship between them, there would always be a way out when the time came, Zhang Renkang said.

"Let's do it tomorrow. I'll be back early in the afternoon and we'll go to your house and get the marriage certificate this Friday. The wedding can only be held in the middle of next year."

Yu Li nodded. As long as Zhang Renkang and she got married, it would be fine. Yu Li didn't really care whether the wedding would be held or not. If someone else insisted on having a wedding, it wouldn't be okay. But it wasn't impossible for Yu Li to accommodate Zhang Renkang.

Yu Li said excitedly

"Okay, I'll go home this afternoon and talk to my mom, then I'll pack up and wait for you tomorrow afternoon."

Zhang Renkang nodded and said

"There's something in the kitchen. I didn't know you were coming. Make something to eat. I'm going to the factory first."

Zhang Renkang kissed Yu Li and set off pushing his bicycle. Yu Li paced around the house excitedly. This would be her home from now on. Yu Li would study hard to make it more cozy.

As for your worry about Yu Li being criticized for renovating the house of a deaf old lady, it's a joke. This was before Yu Li got married. Besides, who wants to have nothing to do and report Zhang Renkang for fun? They are all from the steel mill. Do you really think Zhang Renkang can't deal with him? Even Jia Zhang only cursed verbally and didn't dare to really go. Jia Zhang is not really a moron.

When Zhang Renkang arrived at the steel mill, he was stopped by the security guard on duty at the door.

"Chief Zhang, our director wants to see you. He said he has come to work and asked you to go to his office to see him."

Zhang Renkang smiled and handed over a cigarette. Someone gave one to the other three people and said

"Where is your director?"

One of the security guards said with a smile

"Thank you, Chief Zhang. Our director should be inspecting several gates right now. He should be in the office when he gets to work."

Zhang Renkang and several security personnel finished smoking and rode in with a smile. Chen Gang might have come to him to ask about what he had notified Chen Wei yesterday. Chen Gang probably came to question him without knowing why.

An hour later, all the workshops had already started working. After inspecting all the canteens, Zhang Renkang parked his car in a canteen and walked slowly from the Planning Department to the Security Office at the east gate. He opened the door and entered Chen Gang's office. When Chen Gang saw Zhang Renkang, he stood up and closed the door and said

"Renkang, your Wei Ge told me yesterday that I should take a rest today and not have to go to work for the next few days. What happened?"

Zhang Renkang sat leisurely on the sofa in Chen Gang's office and said

"Director Yang has taken a fancy to a set of equipment, a steelmaking equipment with a capacity of more than one million tons, and plans to bring it to the factory to expand production and complete his own political achievements. However, if he wants to get this equipment, he will have to increase the factory's reserve coal, workshops, and workers."

"Especially for coal. We don't have a lot of shares and the reserves are seriously insufficient. Yang Weiguo wants me to negotiate with the coal mine in Jincheng to exchange materials for coking coal, and then recruit workers to build workshops, in turn, so that the higher-ups will invest in the project here."

Chen Gang thought after listening to it.

"Renkang, this is hard to say."

"Let's not talk about whether the project is real or not. Even if there is one, we don't have the final say on how it is divided. If it doesn't land in the factory, the stockpiled coking coal and the expanded workshops and workers will be in trouble."

Chen Gang was not a fool. He understood what was going on. What if the project didn't come? What about the workers who were recruited? What about the workshop? Moreover, Baotou delivered coal to the factory every month according to the current production. It was not that you could take it if you wanted it or not. If the higher-ups didn't coordinate, this batch of coal would be a burden to the factory.

Chen Gang said quietly

"Renkang, you have become the center of the struggle in the factory now"

"You could become a victim if you're not careful, so be aware of that."

Zhang Renkang nodded and said

"I know, so Wei Ge doesn't need to go get supplies this week. When the supply runs out next week, let Yang Weiguo and Li Huaide fight it out."

"Besides, I don't think that equipment will come to the north at all. Yang Weiguo is probably just daydreaming this time."

Chen Gang nodded and said

"You stood in the back?"

Zhang Renkang laughed

"I have no choice. Besides, compared to the one behind, the one in front is the typical boss who uses people in front and not in the back. You might be sacrificed one day."

Chen Gang nodded and said

"Well, the latter one is okay."

The Security Department is a department-level unit, under the military region's deployment to check the safety of key factories. At this time, the enemy's sabotage is still very severe. Some heavy industry and military industry units have counterintelligence organizations sent by the army and the military and the National Security Bureau. Chen Gang does not need to take sides, and the factory has no personnel power over him.

Zhang Renkang fell asleep on the sofa when he returned to his office. At this time, the heads of the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Machinery, and the Ministry of Metallurgy had already become a market, especially the controversy over where to invest in this French-style smelting equipment.

Until a certain big shot said that we should vigorously support the construction of the western region. The pressure in the north is great now, and we cannot put all our eggs in one basket. So we invested in Shu (Panzhihua) as a second-line support project, and transferred people from various departments to make sure it was put into operation in the shortest possible time.

Now let's discuss how to trade with Gaul and Germania. We all know they need gold. It's difficult. We still owe the north a lot. Tell us what you think.

A woman wearing glasses and looking very literary stood up and said

"Comrades, domestic construction is in full swing and requires a lot of manpower and material resources. The people of the whole country are working hard to build our new society. However, a small group of people hold a large amount of gold and silver and refuse to use them for the country. We the people will not agree... I propose to criticize these people again. For the sake of construction and development, they must hand over the wealth they have exploited the people's hard-earned money."

There were endless debates at the meeting. Some were worried about the impact on the government's image, some were worried about damaging the country's positive image internationally, and some were clamoring to take back the people's hard-earned wealth. In the end, the matter was left unresolved due to the interference of bigwigs. This meeting also suppressed some trends, and it would be best to put it aside for further discussion.

However, I was very satisfied with this trip to Hong Kong Island. I also praised Secretary Wang and planned to go to the two foreign companies to discuss the deal in early January.

Yang Weiguo was in his office and didn't know that his long-cherished political achievements had already been lost. He was thinking about how to convince Zhang Renkang to cooperate with him.
