Chapter 774 He Yuzhu persuades Chen Xueru to transfer the silk shop
During the lunch break, people who had some connection with He Yuzhu came to congratulate him.
Although He Yuzhu was annoyed, he had to deal with them one by one with a smile, because he was afraid that others would say that he was out of touch with the masses and would look down on others after he was promoted.
In the afternoon, Fang Xingchuan called the heads of various departments of the Logistics Department to a meeting and formally introduced He Yuzhu to everyone.
He Yuzhu is a celebrity in the steel rolling mill and everyone knows him. But this time He Yuzhu's identity is different. He is their immediate superior, and they look at He Yuzhu with a little more awe in their eyes.
After the meeting, Fang Xingchuan kept He Yuzhu.
"Zhu Zi, you are now a senior leader in the factory. According to the regulations, you have the right to obtain a unit in the factory."
"You are now in charge of the dormitory management department. You can choose any vacant apartment in the factory."
He Yuzhu heard this and said with a smile: "Section Chief, does this count as abusing power for personal gain?"
Fang Xingchuan deliberately said with a straight face: "Zhu Zi, what nonsense are you talking about? This is the treatment we should enjoy at our level. How can this be considered as abusing power for personal gain?"
He Yuzhu nodded and said, "The chief is right. I will go choose a room now."
Although He Yuzhu has no shortage of places to live, who would complain that they have too many houses?
What's more, this is an apartment allocated by the factory. Senior leaders of the factory live nearby. The living environment is far from comparable to the smoky and foul courtyard houses.
Because of the deaf old lady and the system, he may not move out of the courtyard house for the time being, but this does not prevent him from occupying the unit first.
Fang Xingchuan laughed and scolded when he heard this: "Zhu Zi, your eating manners are too ugly. You should go to look at the house after get off work!"
He Yuzhu smiled brightly: "Director, I am kidding you. House viewing is a big deal. I plan to take my wife to see it tomorrow. Tomorrow happens to be Sunday."
Fang Xingchuan said casually: "Then don't forget to get the key from Lao Wu, the head of the dormitory management department."
He Yuzhu nodded slightly: "I will go to Old Wu to get the key now."
After get off work, He Yuzhu returned to the courtyard. Upon learning the news of his promotion, his neighbors came to his house with gifts to congratulate him on his advancement.
He Yuzhu expressed his gratitude with a smile, but did not accept any gifts.
Firstly, I am afraid of the bad influence.
Secondly, you should be grateful to those who give you a gift. If you accept someone’s gift and they ask you to do something for you, what should you do?
He Yuzhu didn't have a good impression of the beasts in this courtyard, but he was unwilling to help them, and even more so, he didn't want to have too much involvement with them.
What surprised He Yuzhu was that the bitch Qin Huairu also came with gifts to congratulate him. When He Yuzhu saw it was her, he immediately closed the door.
Qin Huairu felt embarrassed and had to leave reluctantly, but the expression on her face became more and more solemn.
After He Yuzhu and the deaf old lady had dinner, they were about to go to Chen Xueru's place when Liu Haizhong came over again.
He Yuzhu raised his wrist to check his watch and said apologetically:
"Uncle Liu, if you have anything to say, let's talk about it tomorrow. I have to take my wife to night school, otherwise I will be late."
Liu Haizhong showed no dissatisfaction and said with a flattering smile: "Then you go ahead and do your work, there is no rush for my business."
He Yuzhu nodded slightly, pushed the bicycle past Liu Haizhong, and left the courtyard.
When He Yuzhu arrived at Chen Xueru's small western-style building, he said with a proud look on his face:
"Wife, I have good news for you. Your husband has been promoted and given a raise."
Chen Xueru smiled happily when she heard this: "Hubby, you are awesome. How much has your salary increased every month?"
He Yuzhu smiled and said: "My previous basic salary as canteen director was 87.5 yuan, and now my basic salary as deputy director of logistics department is 124 yuan, which is a monthly increase of 36.5 yuan."
After hearing this, Chen Xueru was a little disappointed and said, "I thought the salary could increase by a lot, but it's less than 40 yuan. Sometimes I earn more than this in a day."
He Yuzhu said disdainfully: "Sometimes you make more than this much money a day? Then why don't you say that sometimes you don't make a penny a day?"
"Although my salary is not very high, it is stable. No matter it is rainy or hot, I can get this much money every month."
"Besides, the current policies may change at any time. One day, small business owners like you may not be allowed to open their doors to do business. How can I hold on to my iron rice bowl and have a guaranteed income regardless of drought or flood?"
"What's more, my promotion is not reflected in my salary, but in my benefits. Look, the factory is going to allocate me an apartment. You can accompany me to look at the apartment tomorrow."
Chen Xueru didn't listen to the rest of the words and murmured to herself:
“Not allowed to open for business, this is impossible, right?”
He Yuzhu said meaningfully: "Nothing is impossible."
He Yuzhu clearly remembers that after the public-private partnership, there were already very few individual and private economies left, and when the storm starts next year, the individual and private economies will be wiped out.
Places like Chen Xueru's silk shop and Xu Huizhen's tavern, even if they had completed public-private partnership, would be nationalized in the so-called "cutting off the capitalist tail" during the ten years of turmoil, and Chen Xueru and Xu Huizhen would be left with nothing.
Chen Xueru's face turned pale and she said in a trembling voice: "Husband, have you heard any news?"
He Yuzhu was silent for a moment, and said cryptically:
"I didn't hear anything, but I feel that the wind direction is not right recently. To be on the safe side, you'd better sell your shares in the silk shop to someone else."
Chen Xueru said excitedly, "How can that be possible? The silk shop is an industry that my Chen family has run for several generations. How can we let it go?"
"If the silk shop really fails in my hands, I won't be able to face my ancestors after I die."
Seeing Chen Xueru so excited, He Yuzhu could only comfort her:
"Wife, don't get excited. I'm just guessing. Maybe the country's policies toward private enterprises will become more and more relaxed."
Chen Xueru glared and said, "He Yuzhu, I warn you, don't say such things to scare me in the future, or I will make you pay."
"Okay, it's getting late, take me to night school!"
He Yuzhu said hurriedly: "Wife, you are going to give birth in a month, why don't you not go to night school during this last period of time?"
Chen Xueru immediately shook her head and said, "How can that be possible? I can't let your ex-wife outdo me."
"I remember that Xu Huizhen didn't go to school until three days before her due date. I decided to stop going to school two days before her due date."
He Yuzhu was at a loss for words and tried to persuade him:
"Wife, your health and the child are more important. There's no need for you to compete with Xu Huizhen on this matter."
Chen Xueru said firmly, "Don't worry about it. Xu Huizhen and I have decided on this."
"But don't worry, husband. I won't joke about the safety of my child. If I feel unwell, I will stop the class immediately."
