Courtyard House: My Wife is Xu Huizhen

"Of course there is no problem, it's just that Zhang Yajie voted against it."

Lü Xiaomi just snorted and didn't take it seriously. Anyway, only one of the five people voted against it, so the matter would naturally pass smoothly.

Shaking He Yuzhu's arm, she chattered on and on, sharing her joy.

After expressing her gratitude for a long time, He Yuzhu finally let her take the documents and go through the procedures.

Lü Xiaomi's promotion to deputy section chief was actually a leap of several levels.

I've already submitted the matter. Now that I'm in the street office, let's see how Jiang Hanyang handles it. I reckon it'll give him a real headache.

It's not the right time to promote Lü Xiaomi to deputy section chief.

But He Yuzhu produced this document, and now Jiang Hanyang is in charge. He will definitely be in a dilemma after receiving this proposal.

Previously, Lü Xiaomi was just a clerk, but after going to the neighborhood committee, she was easily settled.

She can go to any office, but if Lü Xiaomi becomes a deputy section chief, she will be a cadre in essence and must be assigned to a suitable position.

Moreover, Jiang Hanyang and Secretary Lü are currently in a honeymoon period, and if Lü Xiaomi is not placed in a more comfortable position, it will make Secretary Lü unhappy.

It was past eleven o'clock when Lü Xiaomi knocked on the door and asked, "What would you like to eat for lunch?"

He Yuzhu glanced at his watch, then stood up and said, "I have something to do, so I won't be coming this afternoon. You can eat by yourself."

Lü Xiaomi asked, "Don't you want me to come along?"

He Yuzhu shook his head: "No need."

Before Lü Xiaomi could ask any more questions, He Yuzhu had already left with his bag.

He stomped his foot in anger: "You big bad guy, whose girl are you going to harm now!"

As Lü Xiaomi guessed, He Yuzhu finally had some free time today, as she had been ignoring Lou Xiao'e and Jiang Hui for many days.

If he doesn't show up soon, Jiang Hui's feelings will probably fade.

Inside the cultural center, as get out of class was about to end, Jiang Hui was already distracted and kept looking out the window.

He was very anxious because He Yuzhu hadn't come to see him for the past few days.

Has he fallen for someone else and developed feelings for another girl?

Or is he still hooking up with Lou Xiao'e and no longer caring about himself?

Although He Yuzhu looks a bit older, he is a first-class cook with a high salary and good benefits, making him an excellent candidate for marriage.

So young, yet earning more than college graduates—this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

I wonder what kind of job my brother will find for me. If I also have a job, then when I marry He Yuzhu, we'll both be employed and live a happy life.

The question now is, why hasn't He Yuzhu come to see me after all these days?

Finally, get out of class ended. Jiang Hui packed her things nervously. After most of the people had left, she asked Lou Xiao'e, who was sitting next to her.

"Tell me honestly, are you dating that He Yuzhu?"

Lou Xiao'e retorted angrily, "Stop talking nonsense! No, I haven't seen him for many days."

Jiang Hui didn't see anything unusual on Lou Xiao'e's face; instead, she saw a hint of resentment.

"Isn't he looking for you? Aren't you two dating?"

"Of course not, who knows where he went."

Lou Xiao'e was also full of resentment.

He Yuzhu hasn't come to see me for many days.

He was worried that He Yuzhu would take advantage of him and make him unable to marry.

When He Yuzhu wasn't around, Lou Xiao'e actually missed him a little, missing his domineering kisses that made her quite addicted to their intimacy.

Every time, it makes me incredibly eager, like trying to draw water with fifteen buckets, my heart pounding with anticipation.

The two chatted about He Yuzhu, then packed their things and left the Cultural Palace together.

Not seeing the familiar Jeep, both were somewhat disappointed, then waved goodbye.

Jiang Hui sighed, "He Yuzhu, where did you go?"

After turning the corner and entering another street, I suddenly saw a very familiar Jeep parked on the side of the road.

He Yuzhu came to find me?

Suddenly, my previous gloom vanished, and my heart was filled with joy and happiness.

Instantly in a great mood, he skipped and hopped to the passenger side of the jeep and leaned against the door.

His handsome face was beaming with a bright smile.

"Brother Zhu, you're here?"

He Yuzhu said apologetically, "I'm really sorry, things at the factory have been quite busy lately, and I haven't had any time."

Jiang Hui then opened the car door, sat in the passenger seat, and turned around to ask:

"It's alright, you should focus on your work. Isn't there a meal for you today?"

"There wasn't any today, which is why I had time to come out."

He Yuzhu had previously told Jiang Hui that he worked in the cafeteria, but he didn't cook large batches of dishes for others; he was a specialist in stir-fries.

It's almost midnight now, and the large pot of vegetables is ready. He Yuzhu can only leave the factory before the banquet is prepared.

I only have time for this around noon each day; there's almost always a dinner provided in the evening.

This would explain why a cook like himself had time to spend with Jiang Hui at lunchtime.

With He Yuzhu's explanation, Jiang Hui's doubts immediately disappeared, and she even had to comfort He Yuzhu.

"You're busy with work, of course you should focus on your work and just spend some time with me."

"Let's not talk about these troublesome things. How about I treat you to Western food today?"

"Okay."

After Jiang Hui agreed, she added, "Actually, a simple meal is fine; we don't need to spend too much money."

"It's okay, I'm in a good mood today. Let's have a nice meal once in a while. Let's go eat Western food first, and then watch a movie."

He Yuzhu started the car and drove towards Lao Mo.

Almost all the people who come to Lao Mo's restaurant are young people, in groups of three or five, talking loudly.

More often, it's like He Yuzhu, a young man and a woman, who are dating.

They ordered two set meals and started chatting.

Jiang Hui mentioned that she would soon be starting work and would then have a salary.

He Yuzhu's heart skipped a beat. He already knew that Jiang Hui was Jiang Hanyang's sister. Could it be that Jiang Hanyang was going to arrange for Jiang Hui to work at the machinery factory?

He asked, "Are you going to that Limin Machinery Factory?"

Jiang Hui thought for a moment before saying, "I think so. My brother didn't explain clearly; he just said he'd arranged a job for me."

Jiang Hanyang wanted to transfer Lü Xiaomi away and then install his own person as his secretary.

It would be difficult for him to oppose such a thing, and even if he did, Jiang Hanyang would use his position to prevent him from doing so.

He Yuzhu secretly groaned, fearing that Jiang Hui might become his secretary.

My lie will soon be exposed. When Jiang Hui comes to report for duty, won't I be caught red-handed?

After all, he hadn't said he worked in a machinery factory, but rather in a steel rolling mill.

When Jiang Hui discovers she's a fraud, all her previous efforts will have been in vain.

Jiang Hui's appearance was no less than Lü Xiaomi's, and besides, she was Jiang Hanyang's younger sister.

If he could win her over, he could also get revenge on Jiang Hanyang.

He Yuzhu asked a few more questions, but Jiang Hui couldn't explain it clearly. She only said that her brother was too busy to tell him.

Now he doesn't know which factory he'll go to or what position he'll be in.

Jiang Hui said, "I really wish we could work in the same company, so we could go to work together every day, leave work together, and..."

As she finished speaking, Jiang Hui blushed, unable to bring herself to say anything about resting and sleeping together.

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Yes, I would also like to commute to and from get off work with you. But even though we work in different factories, it doesn't matter. I can pick you up."

Jiang Hui gave a soft "hmm" and lowered her head to finish her steak.

Each of them had a glass of red wine. After drinking it, He Yuzhu was fine, but Jiang Hui's pretty face turned rosy, making her look even more charming.

After leaving Lao Mo Restaurant, the two went to Dahua Cinema.

I casually bought two tickets for an afternoon movie, along with some sunflower seeds and peanuts. Instead of moving to the front, I sat in the back row.

Once the movie officially started, Jiang Hui lifted the handle in the middle and rested her head on He Yuzhu's shoulder.

He Yuzhu held her close, and after a while, the arm slipped off her shoulders and landed on her waist.

Then slowly move upwards, and soon you'll touch the undulating curves.

Just as they were climbing up the hillside, Jiang Hui used her arm to clamp down on He Yuzhu's large hand, thus restraining him.
