He personally brewed tea for me, and then we started chatting.
Meng Tingfei first reintroduced himself, explaining that he usually worked in the capital, which was his home turf.
He Yuzhu was somewhat surprised; he had previously thought that Meng Tingfei was a permanent resident in Guangzhou.
After talking with the parents, Meng Tingfei said, "I came here today to inform you that, after our evaluation, you have become our consultant."
"What do you mean?" He Yuzhu asked.
Meng Tingfei said, "Your combat destructive power is too great, so we all need to establish files and observe you over a long period of time. I also believe that you would not do anything to destroy the country or the nation."
He Yuzhu nodded: "Of course, I would never do anything like being a traitor or a sellout."
Meng Tingfei nodded. According to the files, He Yuzhu had previously arrested enemy agents and donated money to support national construction.
Especially in recent times, he has invented and researched advanced machinery and equipment. Overall, Comrade He Yuzhu is a good comrade.
Of course, his multiple mistresses also drew criticism from his superiors, who would even call him a womanizer—he had far too many mistresses.
They had originally planned to try to get He Yuzhu a job in the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, but they were worried that it would have a negative impact.
The final decision was to give He Yuzhu the title of consultant, with Meng Tingfei maintaining contact and communicating with him.
Meng Tingfei briefly discussed the superior's decision with He Yuzhu, who readily accepted the suggestion. It was just a consultant title, and he was even paid a salary, but he rarely did any work, and sometimes he could go a whole month without doing anything at all.
There were no mandatory tasks, so He Yuzhu was quite satisfied.
Meng Tingfei came here today to communicate with He Yuzhu to ensure that he accepts the role of consultant. After finishing his business, he got up to leave.
He Yuzhu saw the person off and returned home. Not long after, he received a call from Tian Zao.
"Zhu Zi, are you free tonight?"
He Yuzhu said, "Of course we have time. Are you out of food? I'll bring some food over."
"It's not about the food, it's about Tiedan getting a promotion," Tian Zao said happily.
He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Then I congratulate Brother Tiedan."
"Thank you, Pillar."
He Yuzhu said, "We're going to have a celebration tonight, aren't we? I'll definitely be there."
After chatting with Tianzao for a while, he learned that Sun Tie was going to be transferred from the position of police station chief to the position of deputy captain of the district criminal investigation brigade.
Being promoted from a police station to the district bureau, and even to the most important criminal investigation team, is indeed a high-level promotion.
After hanging up the phone, He Yuzhu called Lü Xiaomi in and said:
"I have something to do tonight, so our date is canceled."
Lu Xiaomi said somewhat discontentedly, "Hey, now that it's finally my turn, you're canceling?"
He Yuzhu reached out and slapped her pert buttocks, saying, "You have no manners. Last time, didn't you beg for mercy and say you wanted to rest?"
He Yuzhu has indeed been focusing his energy on his home and Du Weixiang these days, and has been less intimate with Lü Xiaomi.
Lü Xiaomi said she felt a little embarrassed, as if she were sexually frustrated.
He Yuzhu said, "Why don't you take the afternoon off and wait for me at the little villa?"
Lu Xiaomi blushed and nodded, then quickly ran away.
He Yuzhu and Lü Xiaomi spent the afternoon entwined in the villa, and after feeding her, he returned home.
Somewhat unexpectedly, He Yumei was helping to take care of the children in the yard.
Upon seeing He Yuzhu return, she naturally stood up to greet him, and even went inside to pour him water and help him wash his face.
"How's business at the tavern up ahead lately?"
He Yumei sighed and said, "It's still the same. Last month, my wages were less than 20 yuan."
Because the tavern was responsible for its own profits and losses, after giving He Yuzhu dividends and 1/4 of the profits, it could only use 1/4 of the profits as wages for the workers.
He Yumei's wages of less than 20 yuan indicate that her business is now down by half.
He Yuzhu didn't ask any further questions. Getting paid was already a good thing. He asked, "Is there any food left at home?"
"Not much left," He Yumei said somewhat embarrassed.
He Yuzhu said, "Don't be stingy. Eat as much as you want, and tell me if you run out."
"Food is so precious, how can we let them eat as much as they want?"
He Yumei's family was relatively poor, and she had many siblings. Through He Yuzhu's connections, they were all found jobs, but there was still not enough food to eat.
"Does your family pressure you to get married?"
Chapter 346 Meeting new friends
He Yumei blushed, nodded first, and then said, "Brother Zhu, don't worry, I will be your woman for life."
He Yuzhu then asked, "What did you tell your family?"
She explained the situation with great embarrassment, revealing that her family now knew she had a man outside the marriage and that he was already married.
After being scolded, and seeing that even when her family was starving, He Yumei was still able to provide food for them, everyone quieted down and tacitly accepted the situation.
He Yuzhu thought about it and realized that cleaning the villa himself would be tiring. If he had something to do and didn't go for a few days, Du Weixiang would have trouble getting food. He asked, "Do you want to change jobs?"
"I'll do whatever you say, whatever you tell me to do."
He Yuzhu said, "I have a villa in the suburbs. No one usually takes care of it. Can you just come and clean it?"
He Yumei nodded and said, "Of course I'm willing."
Outside, Zhao Yuezhen whispered to Xu Huizhi, "Second Sister, He Yumei is very skilled at serving Brother Zhuzi!"
Xu Huizhi said, "Of course, she's also your brother Zhu's woman."
"Ah!" Zhao Yuezhen exclaimed in surprise.
Xu Huizhi said, "Don't be too surprised. There are many people out there, and you know his strengths."
Zhao Yuezhen readily agreed: "It is quite long."
After speaking with Yu Mei, He Yuzhu told Zhang Huizhen that from now on, He Yu Mei would be in charge of cleaning the villa, and he had no reason to disagree.
After discussing Sun Tie's dinner invitation for the evening, he took He Yumei and left home, heading directly to the villa.
He Yumei was very surprised when she entered the house; everything seemed new and interesting.
"Pack your things first, and stay here tonight. I have to go out now."
"Well, I see."
The kitchen had everything, so He Yumei wouldn't go hungry. After leaving the villa and starting the car, He Yuzhu realized he had forgotten to tell Du Weixiang about the basement.
We were almost at Sun Tie's house, so we didn't go back to inform him.
He quickly parked the jeep outside the yard, and He Yuzhu carried a sack of grain into the yard and went straight to the kitchen.
Although Tian Zao said there was still grain, He Yuzhu took a bag with him since he was already there, so he wouldn't have to make a separate trip next time.
As soon as He Yuzhu entered the room, his vision went black. Just as he was about to use his mental power, he felt himself bump into a woman.
The scent of roses is not Tianzao's style. How could a woman who only knows how to wrestle use perfume?
He Yuzhu had bought her some before, but Tianzao never used them and kept them on a shelf.
He found it very strange that there were outsiders present when Tian Zao and Sun Tie invited him.
He Yuzhu quickly dropped the food, helped the other person up, and said, "I'm sorry."
The other person's voice was sweet as they softly said, "It's alright, it's my fault."
He Yuzhu reached out and pulled the light cord, but the light didn't turn on. The woman said, "The light bulb must be flickering. I was just about to leave when you came in."
He Yuzhu said "Oh" and left the kitchen. At this moment, the other person also came out, and only then did He Yuzhu see the person.
The other person was dressed in civilian clothes, but had a heroic and spirited air about her; she was clearly a policewoman.
She just doesn't look like a young girl anymore; she should be over 25 years old, even older than He Yuzhu himself.
Moreover, unlike Hetian jujubes, they are very good at dressing up. There are obvious traces of makeup on their pretty faces, and their eyelashes are also carefully done, very neat and curved.
"You must be Comrade He Yuzhu. I've heard Sun Tie mention you often."
The policewoman was very generous. He Yuzhu held his outstretched hand and said, "I am He Yuzhu."
"My name is Bai Ling. I am a friend of Sun Tie and I work in the Municipal Bureau."
He Yuzhu recognized the face immediately upon hearing the name Bai Ling; she was Bai Ling, the female protagonist in the TV series "Glorious Times".
This TV series is about the struggle in the early days of liberation. It's already 59, and I can't believe I'm seeing Bai Ling again.
Based on calculations, he should be in his early 30s now.
However, she looks to be around 25 years old.
"Hello, it's a pleasure to meet you."
Bai Ling then withdrew her small hand. Just then, Sun Tie came out from the inner room, holding a light bulb in his hand.
Sun Tie enthusiastically introduced, "Zhu Zi is here. This is Bai Ling, who works in the Municipal Bureau."
