Courtyard House: My Wife is Xu Huizhen

Actually, secrets can't be hidden on the streets anymore.

Although Jiang Hanyang is currently only the deputy director, many people can see that he is the candidate for the next director.

The leaders of the machinery factory certainly understood this as well.

He Yuzhu made significant contributions to the establishment and development of the machinery factory.

However, judging from the current situation, the machinery factory will soon be under Jiang Hanyang's control.

After all, a new emperor brings a new court. The machinery factory is a property of the neighborhood, so it's natural that the new neighborhood director would have a say in it.

After all, this is public property, not private property. In the eyes of many people, it is abnormal that it is in the hands of He Yuzhu.

Now that Geng Feiyan has become a member of the team, she only needs to win over two or three more people to take control of the machinery factory.

For those who don't obey, it's simple: Jiang Hanyang can just move them to a different position and replace them with someone who is obedient.

In particular, the deputy factory director does not need to convene a temporary representative meeting; he can be directly appointed by the street office.

After Geng Feiyan became the new deputy secretary, she held a leadership meeting in a small conference room.

Now there are six people in the whole team, which is a bit strange.

Logically, it should be an odd number so that when a vote is needed, it won't end in a tie.

However, He Yuzhu's concession actually meant that he had relinquished control of the machinery factory.

Factory Director Shen first led the welcoming of the new team member Geng Feiyan, and then readjusted the division of labor.

After some negotiation, Geng Feiyan was assigned to handle not only the original women's affairs, but also the trade union and logistics.

Today's meeting was just a temporary one, to welcome new colleagues and adjust the division of labor. After that was done, Director Shen adjourned the meeting.

He Yuzhu remained silent throughout the meeting, without saying a word. After the meeting ended, he put his pen in his breast pocket, closed his notebook, and then picked up his phone to leave.

"Comrade He Yuzhu, please wait a moment," called out Cong Feiyan, who had just taken office.

He Yuzhu stopped and asked, "Comrade Geng Feiyan, is there anything I can help you with?"

At this moment, the others quickened their pace and left the meeting room, with the last person thoughtfully closing the door behind them.

There were only He Yuzhu and Geng Geng Feiyan in the small conference room.

He Yuzhu hadn't had much contact with Geng Feiyan before, after all, he knew she was Jiang Hanyang's wife and the daughter of a district leader.

Geng Feiyan appears to be around 25 years old, 1.65 meters tall, with a slender figure and long legs.

She has a typical oval face, a high nose bridge, sharp and bright eyes, thin lips, and a hint of toughness and courage between her brows and eyes.

He Yuzhu then realized that Geng Feiyan was quite pretty, but not his type.

Besides, Geng Feiyan comes from a high-ranking official's family, so she's not one of my kind.

Geng Feiyan smiled and said, "Comrade He Yuzhu, I've been working at the machinery factory for a while now, and we haven't talked before. Tonight, I'd like to invite you to dinner so we can have a good chat about work. What do you think?"

"This..." He Yuzhu hesitated for a moment.

He didn't want to have anything to do with Geng Feiyan, after all, his temporary retreat today was only to make things go more smoothly for himself.

Tong Zhi and Da Zhuang are both skilled and capable, and are his right-hand men.

They definitely won't stay at the machine factory; they'll all be transferred to the vehicle factory later.

After all, it's not something that's meant to be yours, so it's better to let go sooner rather than later.

Could it be that my concession led Kong Feiyan to misjudge the situation?

Did they mistakenly believe they had already surrendered?

That's why they invited me to dinner to talk?

Do you want to recruit me?

Seeing that He Yuzhu hesitated, Geng Feiyan said:

"Don't worry, it's not a trap. It's just inside the restaurant, or you could bring your younger sister Jiang Hui along?"

"No need, I'll be there on time."

Although He Yuzhu didn't know what he was up to or why he was being invited to dinner, there was nothing in the world that made him afraid.

Even if it were a mountain of knives or a sea of ​​fire, I could escape unscathed, let alone in a restaurant.

If Geng Feiyan dares to play tricks, I have enough power to make her regret it.

When He Yuzhu returned to his office, Jiang Hui came over and asked, "Director He, are you handing over your power so easily?"

"Shouldn't you be very happy? Jiang Hanyang is your brother, and Geng Feiyan is your sister-in-law. From now on, the street and the machinery factory will belong to your Jiang family."

"No, you're wrong."

Jiang Hui pouted and said, "These all belong to the Geng family and have nothing to do with our Jiang family."

"Oh? Why do you say that?" He Yuzhu asked.

"Isn't it obvious? Although my brother isn't a live-in son-in-law, he got to where he is by leveraging the Geng family's influence."

Although Jiang Hui was young, she understood these things very well. Her brother was just a lackey raised by the Geng family.

Although it might be insulting to his brother, it's the truth.

Jiang Hui had never considered discussing this issue with He Yuzhu before, but today He Yuzhu seemed to have given up and was going to admit defeat, surrender immediately, and hand over control of the machinery factory.

Jiang Hui was very disappointed and did not want her sister-in-law to gain control of the machinery factory.

Then he asked, "Are you really going to give up the machine factory you built yourself?"

"Then tell me, what can I do?" He Yuzhu asked in return.

"I..."

Jiang Hui, of course, had no idea how to deal with the current situation.

After all, He Yuzhu was only a deputy director of the machinery factory. No matter how great his previous achievements were, the machinery factory could not belong to him alone; it was a collective enterprise.

Jiang Hui, having exhausted all other options, asked, "You have no solution either?"

He Yuzhu asked, "It seems you don't like your sister-in-law."

"Of course, I don't like him."

Jiang Hui did not hide her inner thoughts from He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu asked, "What if I had a way to turn things around?"

"how is this possible?"

Jiang Hui had been thinking for a long time but couldn't come up with any way for He Yuzhu to solve the current difficulties.

After all, they had made their sister-in-law a deputy secretary. As long as she and her brother stepped forward and won over the two of them to become comrades, they could transfer away those who didn't obey.

The machinery factory was reorganized into a five-leadership structure, thus ensuring Geng Feiyan retained three voting rights.

From now on, all major decisions will require Geng Feiyan's approval.

He Yuzhu said, "What if I have a way?"

"Impossible. My sister-in-law has practically taken control of the machinery factory. Do you really want to oust her?"

He Yuzhu shook his head: "How could that be? He and his whole family hold high positions. If I had the ability to bring them down, why would things have turned out like this?"

Jiang Hui snorted and said, "Who knows if you still have any other ideas? Are you trying to set a trap for me?"

"What can I do? How about we make a bet? If I can resolve this, you won't be angry with me, and they can still be friends, okay?"

"Who would be your friend?" Jiang Hui said, though her tone wasn't very firm.

He Yuzhu simply smiled, stood up, took her hand, and said:

"Of course we're good friends, it's just that there was a little unpleasantness in the middle."

"Pah, don't flatter yourself. You're a liar who cheated on my feelings. I hate you so much."

Jiang Hui was furious when she realized how foolish she had been to believe that He Yuzhu hadn't gotten married.

He Yuzhu was thinking of taking this opportunity to make a bet with Jiang Hui, but to his surprise, Jiang Hui didn't fall for it.

He sighed, "You have too much prejudice against me."

"Shameless! I don't believe you."

Jiang Hui broke free and shouted, "Don't hold my hand next time!"

Before she knew it, He Yuzhu had grabbed her hand again, and she didn't want any physical contact with him.

But these days, He Yuzhu has been thinking of ways to take advantage of others every day, and he's almost gotten used to it.

He Yuzhu took her hand again and asked, "Are you angry?"

"Get out of my way."

Jiang Hui shook off his hand, turned and walked out. He Yuzhu said, "Did you know that your sister-in-law wanted to treat me to dinner just now?"

Jiang Hui stopped abruptly, turned around, and asked with a look of utter confusion, "Are you lying to me? How could that be?"

Why would I lie to you about something like this?

He Yuzhu said, "I was having a very pleasant conversation with your sister-in-law just now, and we agreed to have dinner together tonight at the Zhuyuan Hotel."
