Siheyuan: The beauty Xueru Huizhen, the birds are jealous

It not only provides delicious working meals for employees, but also attracts people from nearby streets and neighborhood committees to come and eat. All this success is inseparable from Yang Ming's careful guidance and help.

The opening of the canteen has made the tavern business more prosperous.

Although most guests come here to taste fine wine, the canteen also provides them with more choices. More importantly, the operation of the canteen allows Xu Huizhen to save costs while also achieving the goal of increasing revenue.

As time went by, taverns and canteens became an integral part of the area.

Yang Ming and Xu Huizhen have also won people's respect and praise with their wisdom and hard work. They have become role models and examples in people's hearts, and have interpreted the value of mutual assistance and integrity with their actual actions.

At that particular moment, the person who appeared was none other than He Daqing.

The story behind this is based on the choice He Daqing made after leaving the steel mill. The tavern he joined also followed the trend of the times and joined the ranks of public-private partnerships.

However, as the soul of the pub, chef He Daqing originally enjoyed a monthly salary of more than 337 yuan, but under the reform of public-private partnership, his income was drastically cut by the public manager to yuan per month.

Faced with such a huge change, He Daqing found it hard to accept and decided to resign.

Later, his cooking skills were appreciated by Yang Ming, who invited him to work in the newly established canteen. With the support of the street and He Daqing's excellent cooking skills, the canteen's business became increasingly prosperous.

This seems to be a benefit for the workers, but in fact it also cleverly expands the scope and influence of the tavern's business.

Although the street office knew what Yang Ming had done, they did not raise any objections. This was because the tavern had indeed become more successful and had become a model of public-private partnership. In addition, the street office staff had a fixed place to have meals, and the rise of the canteen had brought more employment opportunities to the local area.

When Yang Ming walked into the tavern, he noticed that Cai Quanwu had changed into new clothes.

Although his face was marked by traces of time and he shared some similar vicissitudes of life with He Daqing, he was neat and tidy at the moment and obviously attached great importance to the upcoming blind date.

In that era, late marriage and late childbearing were not common concepts, and there was no restriction on family planning. Most people would rush to date, get married, and have children when they reached the right age for marriage. Cai Quanwu, now nearly 26 or 27 years old, is still single, which was undoubtedly an anomaly at the time.

The reason behind this is related to Cai Quanwu's situation of losing both his parents and having no one to help him.

Just like Sha Zhu in the play, the reason why he encountered many setbacks in blind dating is also related to the lack of help from his parents. If Sha Zhu's father He Daqing was still alive, he might be able to arrange a marriage for him and let him start a family soon.

However, Sha Zhu's predicament goes far beyond this.

He longed to marry a pure and innocent woman, but he also had an emotional entanglement with the widow Qin Huairu. This inner struggle caused him to suffer repeated setbacks on the road of love.

When Cai Quanwu entered his thirties, he still faced life alone, and his journey to find a partner was full of twists and turns.

Yang Ming looked at him with a smile on his face and made a few jokes. However, when the time for the blind date came, they still hadn't seen Liu Lan.

This puzzled Cai Quanwu, and Yang Ming frowned. As the matchmaker of this blind date, he naturally hoped that both parties would come as scheduled. Moreover, Liu Lan was known for his integrity in the steel mill, and he didn't seem like someone who would easily break an appointment.

"There must be something hidden in this." Yang Ming pondered for a moment, then said to Cai Quanwu, "Old Cai, I'll drive you to Liu Lan's house to see what's going on. We have to find out."

The two quickly came to Liu Lan's residence, (bhch) and before they knocked on the door, they heard crying and begging coming from inside the house.

"Daughter, please help dad this time." A middle-aged man's voice came, "If I can't pay back the debt, they will attack me. I have already made an agreement with them. If you are willing to marry them, they will give me thirty dollars."

"Thirty dollars?" Liu Lan's voice was filled with trembling and despair. "Dad, am I only worth thirty dollars in your heart? Am I still your biological daughter?"

Yang Ming pushed the door open and saw Liu Lan crying to the middle-aged man. His heart sank, and he walked up to Liu Lan and asked softly, "Liu Lan, what's going on?"

Liu Lan was a little surprised to see Yang Ming, then she wiped away her tears and whispered, "Director Yang, why are you here?"

"As the factory director, it is my responsibility to care about the family situations of my employees." Yang Ming replied, turning his gaze to Liu Lan's father, his tone became stern, "You are Liu Lan's father? As a father, you are addicted to gambling, and now you want to use your daughter's marriage to pay off your debts. What qualifications do you have to call yourself her father?"

Liu Lan's father was intimidated by Yang Ming's momentum. Although he felt ashamed, he had no choice in the face of high debts. He retorted: "Director Yang, this is our family's private matter and has nothing to do with the steel mill. Liu Lan is my daughter, and I have the right to decide her future!"

These words made Liu Lan pale and filled with despair. She knew that her fate was no longer under her control.

Yang Ming's gaze shifted to Liu Lan, his voice firm and with a hint of warmth: "Liu Lan, what is your position on this matter?"

He paused for a moment, then added emphatically: "Please remember, this is a new society. Forced marriages are no longer accepted by us. If anyone dares to ignore your wishes and force their demands here, I will definitely not sit idly by. If necessary, I will take legal action and hand him over to the Public Security Bureau for handling."

After a brief hesitation, Liu Lan mustered up the courage to respond: "I...I don't want to marry that man." At this time, Cai Quanwu quietly walked out of the crowd and silently took out thirty yuan from his pocket.

"Old Cai, what do you mean?" Yang Ming was a little surprised.

"I'll pay for her." Cai Quanwu said calmly.

Yang Ming instantly understood Cai Quanwu's intention, and Liu Lan was surprised to find that this stranger was willing to stand up for her.

Seeing this, Liu Lan's father hurriedly took the money and wanted to leave after counting it. But Yang Ming stopped him in time and said firmly: "For Liu Lan's sake, I can stop pursuing the matter.

But since Lao Cai is willing to help her out, you must sign a document promising to sever all ties with Liu Lan and never ask her for anything in any name. Otherwise, we can only meet at the police station."

Although Liu Lan's father was anxious, he could only nod and agree under Yang Ming's firm attitude.
