Chapter 28 The Second Uncle Wants to Be an Official
Liu Haizhong felt unwell for several days, and suddenly thought that he might ask He Yuzhu how to become an official.
He was so busy being jealous of Sha Zhu getting an official position that he didn't think to ask him for advice.
Having changed his mindset, Liu Haizhong sincerely invited He Yuzhu to his home for a visit.
He Yuzhu didn't want to go, and Liu Haizhong was angry, feeling that He Yuzhu looked down on him.
He Yuzhu had no choice but to agree. Seeing that He Yuzhu agreed, Liu Haizhong took the initiative to have his wife, Fan Dongni, cook four dishes. He also brought out a bottle of good wine to entertain He Yuzhu.
"Director He, come quickly! Your aunt has already prepared everything. You're here, why did you bring anything else?"
Liu Haizhong sometimes has unusual thought processes; for example, he initially avoided He Yuzhu every day.
Now that I've figured it out, I'll address He Yuzhu as Director He whenever I see him.
Liu Haizhong was also the first person in the courtyard to be named Director He Yuzhu.
Even if others knew that He Yuzhu was now the director of the steel mill's guesthouse, no one was willing to call him Director He.
It was as if He Yuzhu wasn't the director of the guesthouse unless they addressed him by his title. He Yuzhu wished that the people in the courtyard would keep their distance from him forever, and that they would never have anything to do with each other again.
However, He Yuzhu knew this was impossible. These people would relentlessly slander you if they couldn't see any benefit. But the moment they saw an opportunity to profit from you, they would shamelessly try to snatch it away.
Just like Yi Zhonghai, He Daqing had previously paid Luo Qiaoyun to take care of He Yushui.
Now Yi Zhonghai is twisting the facts, making people think that their family has taken care of He Yushui and He Yuzhu for so long without any conscience.
He Yuzhu handed a plate of braised pig's trotters to Liu Haizhong's wife, Fan Dongni, as a gesture of reciprocity.
He Yuzhu was familiar with the plot and naturally understood Liu Haizhong's intention in treating everyone to dinner today.
Liu Guangqi, Liu Guangtian, and Liu Guangfu were eating at a small table nearby. Seeing He Yuzhu and their father drinking at the main table, they were naturally very envious.
Liu Guangqi, in particular, was always the best student in the courtyard.
He's in high school now, and he'll be a cadre when he leaves the village. Liu Guangqi used to look down on He Yuzhu, and even looked down on everyone in the courtyard.
Of all those present today, he was the one who felt the most pained. He watched He Yuzhu enjoying immense success while he could only stand by as an invisible person.
For a moment, Liu Guangqi felt that this was the way a true man should be.
Director He
"Uncle Liu, call me Zhuzi. When we come back to the courtyard house, let's not talk about our factory positions."
Liu Haizhong was particularly pleased to hear He Yuzhu say that.
After all, he didn't hold any position at the steel rolling mill; instead, he was the liaison officer for the courtyard house.
He Yuzhu knew what the other party liked to hear, so he did this on purpose.
He Yuzhu doesn't want to live like a hedgehog; they'll be neighbors for the next thirty years.
It's impossible for one to truly cut off all contact with everyone until death.
Since we can't avoid it, let's try to make as many friends as possible and as few enemies as possible.
He Yuzhu didn't care whether Liu Haizhong would cause trouble for the Lou family or harm other people in the courtyard.
If you treat the other person as an enemy from the start, wouldn't you find life too tiring?
Besides, if He Yuzhu comes to this world, he definitely won't agree to Liu Haizhong coming to the courtyard to cause trouble for him.
As long as the other party doesn't cause him trouble, He Yuzhu doesn't care what happens to others. His rumors have spread so widely in the alley that the residents of the courtyard have done a lot of work to help him.
"Zhu Zi, you're the director of the guesthouse now. Will you continue to get promoted?"
"Uncle Liu, I'm just a cook. The leaders only put me in this position because they saw that the guesthouse was short-staffed and had a lot of work. Maybe after the public-private partnership ends in a while, they'll arrange for someone else to take over as director, so this doesn't really count."
Upon hearing this, Liu Haizhong's lips curled up, and he felt indescribably happy.
It's a sad story. There are over twenty households in the courtyard house, but there isn't even a single leader among them.
He Yuzhu, the former director of the guesthouse, has now become the sole leader of the courtyard house.
Liu Haizhong was just the first to approach them; several others were also considering whether they had a chance to become officials as well.
For example, Xu Fugui thought the same way, but he was now following Lou Bancheng too closely, which naturally made it difficult for him to contact the work group.
Seeing this, He Yuzhu cursed the idiot in his heart, saying that he didn't even have this much shrewdness and was no good leader.
If it weren't for the inappropriate situation, He Yuzhu would have liked to dump the plate on the other person's head. He can't even manage basic facial expression control; even as a leader, he's the one who always takes the blame.
Thinking about how Li Huaide would use Liu Haizhong to retaliate against his opponents in the future, and then use Xu Damao to dismiss Liu Haizhong, it seemed like he understood something.
"Zhu Zi, help Uncle Liu think of a way to get me an official position. Don't worry, once I'm an official, Uncle Liu will definitely not forget you. He'll definitely take care of you at the steel mill."
Liu Haizhong was easily swayed by He Yuzhu's few words and believed him immediately. It was as if he was about to be promoted to a leadership position. He Yuzhu was completely impressed by Liu Haizhong's thought process.
Liu Guangqi was eating nearby while eavesdropping, and when he heard Liu Haizhong say something, he almost burst out laughing.
In fact, Liu Guangqi had long known that he had to study hard in order to have any chance of escaping the courtyard house.
Liu Haizhong never laid a hand on him, but he would never forget how his heart trembled when he saw Liu Haizhong brutally whipping his two younger brothers.
Liu Guangqi was actually beaten when he was a child. It seems that Liu Haizhong stopped beating him after his grades improved.
It is precisely for this reason that Liu Guangqi dares not relax at all. Because this is the only way he can change his living environment.
This is also why Liu Guangqi sneaked away on his wedding night. After all, even he was afraid of Liu Haizhong, so his wife must have been even more afraid.
Liu Guangqi didn't want to finally marry a woman whose family were officials, only to have that cause him to divorce her.
Later, Liu Guangqi rarely went home, instead staying near his father-in-law for extended periods.
It cannot be said that Liu Guangqi is unfilial; it certainly takes great courage to face a father like Liu Haizhong with equanimity.
Of the three sons in the Liu family, all of them ran away in the end. As the father, Liu Haizhong certainly bears a great deal of responsibility for this.
However, He Yuzhu wouldn't remind the other party that their family affairs had nothing to do with him.
He Yuzhu didn't laugh at Liu Haizhong; anyone familiar with the person wouldn't find it strange.
"Uncle Liu, when it comes to being an official, we should usually first look at where our strengths lie. Only by finding our strengths can we then expand upon them."
Liu Haizhong stared at He Yuzhu with a pair of clear and innocent eyes.
He Yuzhu had to simplify his words further, otherwise it would be awkward if the other party couldn't understand him.
"Uncle Liu, you're already a master craftsman. If you take on a few more apprentices and teach them their skills well, and they become successful in the future, if you have dozens of successful apprentices under you, the factory will probably have no choice but to make you a leader."
Liu Haizhong suddenly realized and slapped his thigh hard. How could he not have thought of such a simple principle?
One of Liu Haizhong's strengths is that he acts on his ideas immediately, demonstrating exceptional execution ability.
This is also why he was later valued by Deputy Factory Director Li Huaide.
At that time, Li Huaide urgently needed to get rid of those people in the steel rolling mill who were close to Director Yang.
Li Huaide, by taking advantage of Liu Haizhong, quickly turned the steel rolling mill into his own personal fiefdom.
Of course, Liu Haizhong became cannon fodder in this story, and when Xu Damao became the deputy director, he was also purged by Xu Damao.
Some of these joints simply cannot be understood by simply adjusting the bangs.
However, sometimes fools are lucky. Because he treated a disciple surnamed Lan with sincerity, he later went into the steel business for a period of time after the reform and opening up.
Until someone swindles all your money, it's in line with the old saying: what isn't your money will eventually be lost again as you become more aware of its value.
Liu Haizhong also deeply understood the significance of these words.
Having made up his mind, Liu Haizhong became somewhat lukewarm towards He Yuzhu. He Yuzhu promptly took his leave, and Liu Haizhong did not try to stop him.
He Yuzhu left the backyard with a mocking expression on his face.
As soon as He Yuzhu arrived at the Intermediate People's Court, he saw Xu Damao standing at his door.
"What are you doing, staying up so late?"
"Let's go inside and talk."
Xu Damao furtively pushed He Yuzhu to open the door quickly.
He Yuzhu opened the door, and Xu Damao squeezed in after him.
"What's wrong? Why are you being so mysterious?"
"Rumors about you have started circulating in the alley again recently. What comes to your mind?"
He Yuzhu shook his head, realizing he hadn't done anything lately. As for those rumors, they weren't really that important.
It started with Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old lady, and then the rest of the family in the courtyard started adding fuel to the fire.
However, He Yuzhu did not let them off the hook, and paid someone to blackmail everyone in the courtyard.
The core principle is: if I'm unhappy, then we can all be happy together.
"I heard it was Jia Zhangshi who first said it."
"It's perfectly normal. Our two families have always had conflicts. Let her say what she wants. Why are you staying up all night talking about this?"
"No, I came to ask you how I can become a leader. I heard you have a good relationship with the work group leaders, so why don't you introduce me to them? If there's anything you need to do, I definitely won't be a slacker."
He Yuzhu looked at Xu Damao, who had a long face, and thought, "Ugly as he is, he has high hopes."
However, considering that the other party climbed to the position of deputy director after the wind picked up, it shows that he is also a guy who will do anything to get promoted.
"I have no choice. Don't think that just because I'm the director, you know our factory's guesthouse. If I hadn't gone there, it would only have a handful of people. Even with me here, there are only about ten people. It's obvious that this place is nobody's business. Do you think I'd be here if I were capable?"
"I know, I mainly feel that there have been a lot of changes in the factory recently, and now is the best time. If you have any ideas, you can help me think of some."
