Courtyard House: My Wife is Xu Huizhen

Page 595

"Would Director Cai agree?"

"Isn't this the proper way? A deputy director shouldn't have a private office; usually, multiple people share one."

That makes sense; generally, each functional department has a director or section chief with a separate office.

Other deputy positions do not enjoy such treatment; they have to share an office with two or three other people.

The remaining clerks consist of five, six, or even seven or eight people sharing a large office.

This is the norm in government agencies.

Logically, He Yuzhu and Yan Yingxue should share an office.

But he didn't want to do that; it was too obvious. It would be easy for all sorts of rumors to spread if a man and a woman shared an office for an extended period of time.

Moreover, Yan Yingxue's motives are impure, and she could easily cause trouble.

"That makes sense, but it's not appropriate for the two of us to share an office, is it?"

"What's wrong with that? Isn't that how it is in every workplace?" Yan Yingxue retorted directly.

"Let's talk to Director Cai about this."

Just as He Yuzhu was about to get up, he heard some chaotic noises coming from the courtyard.

Then there was a knock on the door. Director Cai pushed the door open and stood in the doorway, saying:

"Director He, the new desk and chair have been moved in and will be placed opposite you. From now on, the two of you will work together."

He Yuzhu had already stood up, and through the gap, he could see several staff members bringing in a brand new set of tables and chairs.

This immediately made him frown. He absolutely could not allow himself and Yan Yingxue to work in the same room from now on.

Although he only suspected that Yan Yingxue was trying to seduce him, it was just a guess and he couldn't say it out loud.

He simply asked, "Director Cai, why wasn't this issue discussed beforehand?"

"What's there to discuss? Isn't this just the proper thing to do?"

Cai Youliang said, "Previously, only you, the deputy director, could have this entire office. Now that another deputy director has been transferred here, of course the two of you will share this office."

Last time, He Yuzhu caused a scene, and we paid a price to bring him back.

After much painful reflection, they quickly adjusted their mindset: since you want an office, then I'll stuff people into it.

We can also use our femininity to see if it works.

That's why we have this system today, putting the young and beautiful Yan Yingxue in the position of deputy director so that she can share a room with He Yuzhu.

This arrangement was made entirely in accordance with the rules and without any errors.

The fact that He Yuzhu wasn't given an office in the cafeteria before is a slight flaw.

He Yuzhu's request was legitimate, so it didn't escalate into a major incident.

This time, the factory office is in an invincible position. If He Yuzhu makes a fuss like last time and refuses to give up even half an office, then they will have to have a serious talk with him.

He Yuzhu thought about the whole story in his mind, after all, the matter was not complicated.

It's nothing more than a direct attempt to seduce someone.

The struggles within the factory were simple and straightforward, without many elaborate tactics.

He Yuzhu had no excuse to refuse, but he still wanted to give it a try.

"That's true, but it's really inappropriate. Comrade Yan Yingxue and I are both quite young, and it's easy for rumors to spread if the two of us are alone in an office."

“I’m about to criticize you, Comrade He Yuzhu.”

Cai Youliang's expression changed, his smile vanished, and he said very seriously:

"Your thinking is unacceptable. How can you say such things when we're all doing revolutionary work?"

"You're making such a fuss just because a man and a woman are working normally in an office? What kind of thinking is that?"

"Director Cai, you're making a mountain out of a molehill. I was just concerned about Comrade Yan Yingxue's reputation and worried that rumors might spread."

"You're exaggerating. This is normal work; how could there be any rumors?"

Yan Yingxue then said, "Director He, you're overthinking it. We're all comrades, there's no need for any rumors."

Seeing that both of them said so, He Yuzhu had no choice but to nod in agreement.

Director Cai was very impolite and told the other staff to bring in the table and place it opposite He Yuzhu.

With their desks facing each other, the two people can see each other simply by looking up.

Soon all the benches were set up, and only the three of them, the director and deputy director, were in the room.

Director Cai said, "You two come here, let's talk about work."

The three of them went to Director Cai's office for a meeting.

Tsai Yu-liang first emphasized that the collective leadership responsibility system is now being implemented, and all matters concerning the canteen need to be discussed in collective meetings.

As they talked, He Yuzhu realized something was wrong.

Yan Yingxue agreed to all of Cai Youliang's proposals.

He Yuzhu tried to advocate for some minor matters, but Cai Youliang opposed them all.

It seems that the two of them have formed a strategic alliance.

There were three people in total, and two of them were huddled together, so He Yuzhu's objections were of no use.

As a result, He Yuzhu lost his voice in the cafeteria.

He Yuzhu was very frustrated, as this had completely sidelined him.

After discussing the matter to the end, Cai Youliang summarized and said that this way of holding meetings was very good, and the canteen would adopt this method in the future.

Back in his office, He Yuzhu felt uneasy.

Before, he could do whatever he wanted in the office by himself, but now there's a woman here, who occasionally looks up and smiles at him.

Ask a question in a soft, gentle voice.

Her eyes sparkled, her every glance shone, and every gesture exuded captivating charm.

With no outsiders in the office, Yan Yingxue used all her charm.

Seeing He Yuzhu filled me with emotion, and I raised the flag in salute.

She's such a charming little vixen.

Seeing He Yuzhu lost in a daze, Yan Yingxue smiled and asked:

"What is Brother He thinking about?"

When other people were present, Yan Yingxue addressed him directly as Director He.

But when the two of them were sitting in the office, he changed his address to Brother He.

She was asked to change, but Yan Yingxue refused and remained the same.

He Yuzhu smiled lecherously and said, "I missed you!"

"You're so annoying!"

Chapter 410 What? Someone is spreading these rumors about me?

Now He Yuzhu was even more certain that Yan Yingxue was a rose with thorns.

It's also a cannonball coated in sugar.

How could such a beautiful girl be so easily seduced?

To be precise, I didn't exert any force at all, and I didn't even put down the hook.

Yan Yingxue pounced on him immediately; if it were any other time or place, she might have thrown herself into his arms.

Knowing that the other party was using sweet talk, He Yuzhu was not in a hurry to make a move.

After all, while the sugar coating may be sweet, the bullets inside are not so easy to deal with.

One wrong move and you could blow yourself up and be covered in wounds.

Without understanding the other party's strength, He Yuzhu had no intention of picking this thorny rose.

He smiled, then suddenly stood up, grabbed his bag, and walked straight out of the office.

Yan Yingxue was dumbfounded. Why did He Yuzhu just leave like that?

What does it mean?

Could it be that they didn't fancy me?

Yan Yingxue asked herself honestly, "Isn't it possible that I have an exceptionally beautiful appearance that makes He Yuzhu's heart flutter?"

He Yuzhu came out of the office and went into the kitchen of the canteen.

These days I have much more free time, and I also have time to give the MCA members some pointers on their cooking skills.

After teaching for a while, He Yuzhu called Ma Hua out.

"Master, what is it that you need to come out and talk about?"
