Siheyuan: Craftsmen of a Great Country

Chapter 189 Yi Zhonghai’s plan

Yi Zhonghai really just came to order noodles and the like at first. After all, the Jiang family lived a good life and there must be a lot of meat and vegetables.

But the moment he saw the factory leaders, he suddenly had a new plan.

Since the leaders are all here, I'm going to make an excessive request. I guess you don't dare to refuse it, right?

Otherwise, you will leave a bad impression on your leadership, which will affect your future.

Besides, Jiang Chen's current salary is higher than his, and Liu Yue's salary is also high, so the family can't spend all the money.

Even ten more old ladies can be afforded.

If this is done, not only will the old lady's matter be resolved, but her reputation will also increase a lot.

Think about it, the national treasure-level engineer who was on the front page of National Daily and personally received by the chief minister also had to be greeted by himself, and he sounded comfortable.

As long as Jiang Chen nods, he will convene a meeting of the whole hospital later to solidify this matter.

From behind, I can't get rid of it even if I want to.

Oh, the plan is on me.

Jiang Chen took a breath: "It's not impossible to take care of me."

Yi Zhonghai's face lit up: "I know that Xiao Jiang, your family is very enlightened, so you will definitely be able to do this."

What I was thinking was: I knew this guy must be face-saving and couldn’t refuse in front of the leader.

Jiang Chen continued: "My mother is idle anyway, so it would be good to find something for her to do."

Yi Zhonghai nodded: "That's right, instead of being idle, it's better to take care of the good people in the courtyard and build a good reputation."

Jiang Chen said: "What kind of reputation? That thing is useless."

"I just want to know how much salary Yi Gong pays my mother a month to take care of the elderly?"

Yi Zhonghai was stunned: "Salary, what salary?"

Jiang Chen said: "If you ask my mother to take care of the old lady, shouldn't you pay her a salary?"

"I thought about it. Even if my mother is a worker, she only earns more than 30 yuan a month. Then if she lives a better life, she can buy vegetables, meat, etc., which adds up to more than yuan."

"Let's do this. If you give my mother 50 yuan a month, my mother will definitely take good care of the old lady. How about that?"

He directly offered a price that Yi Zhonghai would never accept.

Wanting his mother to take care of the deaf old lady is a big joke.

Yi Zhonghai's face became extremely ugly: "Xiao Jiang, you are wrong in thinking this way. There is only such an old lady in our courtyard. It is everyone's responsibility to take care of her. How can we talk about money?"

Jiang Chen waved his hand: "Yi Gong, there is only an old lady in the courtyard, and you can't even part with fifty yuan. Isn't your consciousness too low?"

"Forget it, since Yi Gong can't bear to leave, I'll have to do it. Please go back, I'm going to eat."

Yi Zhonghai stopped Jiang Chen: "Don't be impatient. You have the right to choose whether to take care of me or not, but we have to make it clear first."

Jiang Chen frowned and said, "Isn't it clear what I said? You're so proud, just go and solve it yourself, but don't even think about dragging me along, I won't accept your trick."

"My mother doesn't have the time or energy to take care of such nonsense. My eldest mother is at home every day. Let her take care of it."

"You are really more scheming than Teacher Yan. You don't have to work or pay, and you are always trying to gain a good reputation. How can such a good thing happen in the world?"

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Yi Zhonghai was so angry that he couldn't speak.

Jiang Chen returned to the kitchen and continued to eat the New Year's Eve dinner.

Yi Zhonghai couldn't help but turned around and went to the deaf old lady to ask for advice.

After hearing this, the deaf old lady grinned and said, "I told you a long time ago that Jiang Chen is not something you can control, but you refused to listen and insisted on testing him."

"This is good. The relationship is broken. If you fall into his hands in the future, you will suffer the consequences."

Yi Zhonghai smiled and said: "How could I possibly fall into his hands?"

The old lady smiled and said: "Don't talk so much. From now on, you should pay more attention to He Yuzhu."

"By the way, their family is having hot pot today, and the factory leaders are here, so they should have a good meal, right?"

Obviously she didn't want to talk about this scheming thing during the Chinese New Year. Yi Zhonghai said angrily: "Of course you eat well, I just don't know what I can leave for you."

The old lady said: "With their style of cooking, there must be a lot of leftovers. I'll be in for a treat tomorrow."

Yi Zhonghai said: "Can you be a bit promising? You are so happy eating other people's leftovers, as if I didn't give you enough to eat on weekdays."

The old lady grinned, showing off her few remaining teeth, like a vampire: "As long as you have something to eat, you don't care if it's leftover."

The carnival at Jiang Chen's house lasted until around eleven o'clock in the evening.

Everyone went home just in time to ring in the New Year.

Fortunately, no one persuaded him to drink, and no one got drunk except Xu Damao.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, at dawn, Jiang Chen and his party were ready to set off back to Sichuan.

Luo Xue was sent here by Wen Wan early in the morning.

Knowing that before leaving the house, Wen Wan was still holding Luo Xue to explain.

Opening the door, Xu Damao was standing at the door.

Jiang Chen said: "Da Mao, is there something wrong?"

Xu Damao said in a low voice: "Director Jiang, I really can't help what happened last night. It's all my fault. I couldn't control it."

"You can take this box of cigarettes back. It was my mistake. How can I still let you take something?"

Xu Damao woke up in the middle of the night and asked his family members who were watching the night to find out what happened yesterday.

I feel like if I hadn't said something this morning, Jiang Chen might not have any chance with him in the future.

So I waited outside the door early in the morning to show my sincerity.

He is a smart man and knows who he must build a good relationship with.

After Xu Damao collapsed last night, no one knew how to build the projector. In the end, Jiang Chen asked his father to collect it and then took it back and put it in their house.

This box of cigarettes was given to his father by Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen didn't reach out to quit smoking: "Forget it, it's over. This cigarette is for your dad. I feel sorry for having someone come to help me during the Chinese New Year."

Xu Damao looked at Jiang Chen's expression and said something bad to himself: "Director Jiang, don't worry, there will never be a next time."

Jiang Chen thought for a while: "When did you quit drinking? I believe there will be no next time."

He actually felt that Xu Damao was valuable, but the wine would harm him sooner or later.

He simply took this opportunity and asked Xu Damao to quit drinking.

It wouldn't be a bad thing for him to really quit.

If you really can't quit it, it actually has no effect. If you have a chance to use it in the future, you can use it. If you don't, you can quit it.

Xu Damao nodded: "Okay, quit. From now on, I won't drink at all."

Jiang Chen said: "Many things are not done by words, but by actions."

"If you drink again, if I find out, let your father attend next year's New Year's Eve dinner!"

Xu Damao understood what Jiang Chen meant.

That's not a problem with the New Year's Eve dinner screening, but a complete loss of the circle.

If you lose this circle, you will lose a lot of opportunities.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Yue and Luo Xue walked out with salutes in hand.

Xu Damao was stunned, looked at Luo Xue and said, "Luo Xue, where are you going?"

Luo Xue frowned and said directly: "Go home with the leader."

Xu Damao was stunned: "Director Jiang's partner, isn't Comrade Liu Yue, you..."

Luo Xue said arrogantly: "Don't worry about it, just take care of yourself."
