Siheyuan: The Era of Struggle

Chapter 71
The more He Yuanchao thought about it, the more he felt that there was something in Secretary Liang's words. It was not just about his marriage, there must be something he didn't know about.

The same goes for Secretary Liang. He doesn’t explain anything clearly and has to let him guess by himself.Lao He, who couldn't understand, couldn't help complaining.

well!What a headache.It would be great if someone who understood could give me guidance at this time.

He Yuanchao, who couldn't figure out the problem, couldn't help but start thinking about where to find an expert to give him guidance.

After comforting himself for a while, He Yuanchao couldn't help but sigh. No one would teach you this kind of thing if you are not a relative or a friend.

He Yuanchao, who had been tormented by Liang Weimin's words for a whole day, stood up helplessly until the announcement that it was time to get off work, simply packed up and left the office.

As soon as he left the gate of the steel rolling mill listlessly while riding his bicycle, he saw Zhang Min looking at him with a smile on the roadside.

As soon as he saw Zhang Min, He Yuanchao's head no longer hurt, his heart was no longer upset, and he felt energetic instantly.

When he came to Zhang Min, he parked the car and said cheerfully: "Why are you here?"

"I got off work early today, and I have nothing else to do, so I just wanted to see you. Why, you're not welcome?"

Zhang Min looked at He Yuanchao, who was smiling so hard that he couldn't see his teeth, and deliberately teased him.

Seeing Zhang Min making fun of him, He Yuanchao also said with great support: "How can I not welcome you? I just didn't expect you to come so suddenly."

After the two of them joked for a while on the roadside, they saw more and more people coming out of the factory after get off work, and many people were looking here intentionally or unintentionally.

After He Yuanchao and Zhang Min looked at each other, they both felt that this was not a place where they could stay for a long time, so they quickly got on their bicycles and fled away.

After riding for a while, He Yuanchao asked Zhang Min where he wanted to go shopping.
Zhang Min didn't say where he was going, but instead asked him with a smile, "Have you eaten?"

After getting He Yuanchao's reply, Zhang Min didn't say anything anymore. He pedaled his bicycle hard twice and ran to the front of He Yuanchao's car.

When He Yuanchao saw this, he understood what Zhang Min meant and rode forward slowly following Zhang Min.

The two of them rode in silence for about 10 minutes before Zhang Min and He Yuanchao stopped in front of a clean and tidy looking restaurant.

After placing the bicycle, Zhang Min led He Yuanchao into the restaurant.

There were not many people in the store, only two or three people sitting here and there.

"Hey! Mr. Zhang, are you here? Come and sit inside."

As soon as the two of them entered the room, a middle-aged woman about 40 years old spoke to Zhang Min enthusiastically.

After Zhang Min nodded politely to the middle-aged woman, he and He Yuanchao were led by the middle-aged woman to sit down at a table by the window.

As soon as the two of them sat down, the middle-aged woman asked with a smile: "What kind of dumplings does Mr. Zhang want to eat today?"

After the middle-aged woman asked, Zhang Min did not answer, but looked at He Yuanchao and said, "What kind of stuffing do you usually like to eat?"

Zhang Min's operation immediately surprised the middle-aged woman next to him.

In his memory, Mr. Zhang seemed to have always been a very cold and arrogant person who rarely cared about others, especially a gay man.

The middle-aged woman couldn't help but look at He Yuanchao carefully, while curiously guessing the relationship between the two.

"I'm not picky about food. I'll eat whatever fillings you like."

Seeing Zhang Min consider his own taste first, He Yuanchao felt a little sweet in his heart, so he said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

This is not the first time that He Yuanchao feels sweet. Ever since he learned that he eats three meals a day in the canteen of the steel rolling mill, Zhang Min will find reasons every now and then to drag He Yuanchao out to a restaurant and improve his food. .

After hearing what He Yuanchao said, Zhang Min rolled her eyes at him, then turned to the middle-aged woman and said, "Sister Liu, please give me two kilograms of pork and cabbage first."

As he spoke, he took out the money ticket from his pocket and handed it to Sister Liu. "Okay, you two sit down for a while, the dumplings will be ready soon."

Looking at the interaction between the two, Sister Liu, who has worked in the service industry for half her life, could not tell the relationship between the two.

After Zhang Min finished telling her what kind of dumplings she wanted, Sister Liu immediately ran to the kitchen.He didn't want to be an eyesore here and affect the young couple's private conversations. Otherwise, they might have planned him in their minds.

After Sister Liu left, He Yuanchao looked at Zhang Min and said with a smile: "After visiting so many restaurants, this one has the most enthusiastic service. So, Sister Liu, are you familiar with each other?"

When He Yuanchao asked about Sister Liu, Zhang Min told him how he knew Sister Liu.

"Once, a child from the courtyard was making trouble here, and I happened to catch up with him, so I helped him say a few words. From then on, Sister Liu was very enthusiastic towards me every time I came here."

"Hey, I didn't realize it. What I like is a girl with a chivalrous heart."

"That's right, this girl has many advantages. You can experience it yourself later."

Listening to Zhang Min returning what she had said to him intact, the two of them couldn't help laughing at the same time.

After talking and joking for a while, Sister Liu came over carrying two large plates of steaming dumplings.

Seeing the sweetness between the two, Sister Liu praised her own eyesight.

After placing the dumplings on the table and telling them to eat them while they were hot, Sister Liu disappeared from their sight again.

Seeing the white and tender dumplings on the table, the two of them moved their index fingers.

While eating dumplings, they talked about trivial matters about their respective units.

As he spoke, He Yuanchao couldn't help but think of what Liang Weimin said to him, and he couldn't help but frown slightly.

Zhang Min saw this and said hurriedly: "What's wrong? Are the dumplings not delicious, or are you feeling unwell?"

Looking at Zhang Min's concerned eyes, He Yuanchao raised his brows and said with a smile: "It's okay, it has nothing to do with the dumplings and my body. I just remembered something our secretary said to me, and I didn't understand some of it."

"Can you speak out and listen?"

Seeing Zhang Min's interest, He Yuanchao didn't hide anything and told Zhang Min in detail what happened in Liang Weimin's office this morning.

When she heard Liang Weimin urging He Yuanchao to get married, Zhang Min couldn't help but blush.

But he still pretended to be calm and listened to He Yuanchao's story.

After Lao He finished talking, Zhang Min put down his chopsticks, thought for a while, and then lowered his voice and said to He Yuanchao: "When we were having dinner a few days ago, I heard my dad say something. It may be related to you. The things mentioned are related.”

When He Yuanchao heard this, he immediately became energetic and said hurriedly: "Really? Come on, tell me."

Zhang Min glanced around and then whispered: "My dad said that the higher-ups want to unify productivity, with your factory as the main body and merging some other factories. And after the merger, the level of your factory will probably rise."

Zhang Min's words were like enlightenment, and the problem that He Yuanchao had been thinking about for a whole day was suddenly solved.

The marriage Secretary Liang Weimin said was just a cover, and cadre promotion was what he had to talk to.

After all, he had not been back to work for a long time and his qualifications were still relatively low. If the steel rolling mill was upgraded, it was hard to say whether he would be able to move up a level.

It was precisely because of this that Liang Weimin reminded him to hurry up and make preparations.

After thinking about this, He Yuanchao couldn't help but secretly thank Liang Weimin in his heart. This hug was not in vain. When good things happen, he really misses you.
