Courtyard House: My Wife is Xu Huizhen

Then he asked, "Is the relocation convoy ready?"

"That's no problem; we have trucks available for use at any time."

"That's good. I'll go to the factory tomorrow. If there are no problems, we can start the relocation the day after tomorrow."

"That's good. I'll go to the machine factory with you the day after tomorrow to announce this."

Currently, China does not have the capacity to produce Jeeps; the production facility in Shanghai has been completely abandoned.

This Beijing vehicle factory has attracted the attention of higher authorities, but the information has not yet reached the ears of the leaders in Beijing.

Therefore, a high-ranking leader was needed to coordinate and announce that he would serve as the nominal director of the preparatory committee for the Beijing Vehicle Factory.

We also need to stabilize the emotions of the machinery factory leaders to ensure the relocation proceeds smoothly and avoids any problems.

He Yuzhu nodded, having finished discussing the matter, and said, "If there's nothing else, I'm going to the kitchen."

Since we're here, He Yuzhu should naturally be our cook; we can't just go back.

The senior leader then told He Yuzhu not to rush, and said somewhat awkwardly, "There's something I need to tell you."

"whats the matter?"

"It's about your rank. Because the vehicle factory is a bureau-level unit, all the leaders in the factory are at the bureau level."

He Yuzhu nodded. Just like in the old machinery factory, whether it was the factory director, deputy factory director, secretary, or deputy secretary, they were all section-level cadres. Their official rank was all section chief or deputy section chief.

The newly established vehicle factory is a department-level unit, and its leadership team consists of the director and deputy directors.

He Yuzhu knew that his rank was not high enough. The fact that he had been able to become a section chief before was a special case and did not conform to the normal promotion rules.

The senior leader said, "So you can't be the deputy director of the vehicle factory. You'll have to go to another position, only a section-level position. I'm thinking of making you the head of the technical section. What do you think?"

He Yuzhu laughed and said, "I know I'm not leadership material. It doesn't matter whether I become the head of the technical department or not, as long as these people who originally came from the machinery factory can be properly resettled."

He Yuzhu didn't care, but he was worried that the people who came with him might not finish well, which would be troublesome.

"Don't worry, these people are the main force of the new factory, so of course we'll take them all in."

The senior leader was relieved to see that He Yuzhu had no objections to his new position.

This vehicle factory can be said to have been built single-handedly by He Yuzhu; without his technology, there would be no such factory.

After the organization was established, it was indeed a bit unreasonable that He Yuzhu was not among the factory leaders.

However, He Yuzhu was not qualified in terms of age or rank, and could only serve as a section-level cadre for the time being.

After the two finished talking, He Yuzhu went to the kitchen and didn't get home until almost 10 p.m.

The next day, He Yuzhu went to the new factory, which was located near the machine repair shop and was an independent factory area.

He Yuzhu conducted an on-site inspection and confirmed that the design plan was largely consistent with his own proposal before he felt relieved.

Back home, I took out the original relocation plan, re-examined it, and continued to improve it.

Just as Geng Feiyan was packing up her things to leave work that evening, her secretary knocked on the door and came in to say:

"A notice just came in: the top leader will be holding an on-site meeting at our machinery factory tomorrow, and it's said that something important will be announced."

"The top leader? Who else are the leaders?"

The secretary's expression was somewhat strange as she took out a list and handed it to Geng Feiyan.

"What's wrong? What's with that expression?" Geng Feiyan asked.

"You should take a look at the list yourself!" the secretary said helplessly.

What's so interesting about the list?

As she spoke, Geng Feiyan opened the list in her hand. The first name was that of a high-ranking leader, followed by several other leaders, and then two people from the Municipal Bureau. Geng Feiyan was not surprised that these people had come.

Soon I saw a familiar name at the end of the list; it was the person I hated the most.

He Yuzhu!

His name was on the reception list, which infuriated Geng Feiyan. She shouted, "Why is He Yuzhu here?"

Chapter 394 Dismantling the Machinery Factory

Geng Feiyan stormed home, and Jiang Hanyang asked, "What's wrong?"

"Are you all trying to upset me? He Yuzhu is gone, and you're still upset with me. I said I'd introduce each of you to a potential partner, but what's wrong with that young man? Why did she turn around and offer herself to He Yuzhu?"

"No, didn't we already say we wouldn't talk about Jiang Hui anymore?"

Jiang Hanyang was also dumbfounded. He had arranged for his sister to be He Yuzhu's secretary in order to monitor him, but little did he know that he had sent a lamb to the slaughter.

In just a month or so, He Yuzhu had tricked Jiang Hui into giving herself to him.

As a result, the blind date fell through, since Jiang Hui absolutely refused to go on it, so it had to be dropped.

However, Geng Feiyan, as the matchmaker, ended up in a bad situation, making herself unpopular with both sides.

"What's going on today? Didn't He Yuzhu leave the factory?"

"See? I knew tomorrow wouldn't be any good."

Geng Feiyan slammed the notice in her hand onto the coffee table and turned to wash up.

Jiang Hanyang picked up the notice, glanced at the list of participating leaders, and quickly found He Yuzhu in it.

Then I examined it word by word from beginning to end.

The matter is very simple: there is an on-site meeting tomorrow with high-ranking leaders present, but He Yuzhu's attendance is something he just can't understand.

The next day, when Jiang Hanyang arrived at the street office, the first document he saw was the notice of the on-site meeting.

Jiang Hanyang thought it was a mistake yesterday, but now that it's confirmed, he has no choice but to lead his team to the machinery factory to set up the meeting venue and prepare for the inspection.

At ten o'clock, a convoy of cars drove up from a distance on time. Jiang Hanyang and Geng Feiyan had already prepared in advance and were waiting at the gate.

After the car stopped, the first person to get out was the top leader.

"Welcome, esteemed leader, to inspect our work."

The senior leader warmly shook their hands and then introduced He Yuzhu, who was the last to come down.

"This is Comrade He Yuzhu, I think you should be familiar with him."

Jiang Hanyang forced a smile and shook He Yuzhu's hand: "Welcome to inspect our work."

Then he said in a low, menacing voice, "You've ruined Jiang Hui, I will never forgive you."

"Brother-in-law, we're family!"

"Who's family with you? You're asking for it."

He Yuzhu smiled, shook hands with Jiang Hanyang, and then shook hands with Geng Feiyan.

"I didn't expect to see you again so soon, Secretary Geng. I hope that the machinery factory can flourish under your leadership and become more and more prosperous."

Geng Feiyan's eyes were practically blazing with anger: "He Yuzhu, what brings you here?"

"Do you believe me if I say I'm going to take the machine factory out of your hands?"

Geng Feiyan suddenly had a bad feeling, but she still stubbornly said:

Stop dreaming.

When I received the notification yesterday, I had a vague feeling that something was wrong. I discussed it with Jiang Hanyang for a long time, but we still couldn't figure out why He Yuzhu was on the list.

Hearing He Yuzhu say this made Geng Feiyan even more upset.

After going through countless hardships, they finally gained control of the entire machinery factory. Could He Yuzhu really take it back?

He Yuzhu only said one sentence before letting go and falling behind.

Jiang Hanyang, Geng Feiyan, and the leaders and cadres of the street and the machinery factory were all very surprised. However, there were many leaders present, and they all kept their surprise to themselves.

A group of more than ten leaders were invited into the auditorium, with the top leader naturally seated in the center and He Yuzhu also sitting above him.

Sitting below were cadres of all ranks from the street and the machinery factory. Many people were discussing why He Yuzhu, a dismissed deputy factory director, was still able to sit here.

Jiang Hanyang coughed twice, then began, "Please be quiet. We are now officially starting a meeting. Please welcome our senior leader to speak."

Everyone fell silent, and the entire auditorium became quiet.

The top leader began his speech by starting with the development of the country's machinery manufacturing industry, acknowledging the outstanding contributions made by the machinery factory in many fields, including machine tools, air conditioning compressors, and washing machines.

Especially when the first Jeep manufacturer in the country, Modu Vehicle Factory, went out of business.

Without instructions from higher authorities, the machinery factory relied on its own efforts and worked hard to renovate and upgrade the Jeep, which was riddled with problems.

By installing a new engine and replacing faulty parts, the Jeep project, which had been cancelled, was given a new lease on life.

It became the only Jeep manufacturer in the country.

Jiang Hanyang and Geng Feiyan both felt their faces burning after hearing this.

The Jeep project was led by He Yuzhu, but now He Yuzhu has been fired from the machinery factory and is idle at home.

Listening to the high-ranking leader praising the Jeep project, the two men wished the ground would crack open so they could crawl into it. This was even more unbearable than being slapped in the face.

The middle and lower-level leaders, as well as employee representatives and technical representatives in the audience, began to whisper among themselves.

Why emphasize the Jeep's contribution when the previous contributions have been mentioned in vain?
