Rebirth of Siheyuan starts in the 1980s

If Cao Zhiqiang was worried about dealing with Yu Yuanyuan before, now he has no worries at all.

Because in Cao Zhiqiang's opinion, since they talked it out in the Peking Hotel room, Yu Yuanyuan seemed to have completely put aside the relationship and completely accepted the relationship between her god-sister and god-brother.

According to Cao Zhiqiang's observations in the past few days, Yu Yuanyuan did not continue to pester him. Instead, she only stayed at the Peking Hotel for two days and then went back.

After that, the relationship between Yu Yuanyuan and Cao Zhiqiang was completely normalized, and she never mentioned the matter of having a partner, or even the matter of wanting to see Wu Qinghong.

In addition, Yu Yuanyuan has become very close to his eldest sister Cao Jiajia recently. Through his eldest sister's words, Cao Zhiqiang found out that Yu Yuanyuan has been in a good mood recently and has become good friends and besties with Cao Jiajia.

Anyway, after many inquiries, Cao Zhiqiang felt that Yu Yuanyuan had completely let go of her feelings for him, at least that's what it seemed.

And after that day, Yu Yuanyuan never bothered Cao Zhiqiang deliberately, and never came to Cao Zhiqiang at every turn.

On the contrary, Cao Zhiqiang has been deliberately avoiding Yu Yuanyuan.

"That's fine." Cao Zhiqiang touched his chin.

"Well, it doesn't matter. I beg you and you beg me to move around more.

Why not take this opportunity to normalize your relationship with Sister Yuanyuan, so that you can avoid avoiding her all the time?

After all, she was once my goddess.

Although I can't be a couple with her now, at least the relationship between sister and brother must be maintained."

As soon as he thought of it, Cao Zhiqiang left the publishing house and went directly back to the Peking Hotel.

Here, Cao Zhiqiang took a bath, took a short rest, and then took out two bottles of Maotai, two bottles of Wuliangye, two Red Panda cigarettes, and two taels of Wuyi Dahongpao from the system space.

In addition to these, there are also some imported chocolates, some White Rabbit toffees, plus fruits such as bananas and mangoes, which make up the four major items for gift giving at this time, namely tobacco, wine, sugar and tea.

In addition to these, there is also a mooncake carton, but instead of mooncakes, it contains 500 yuan in cash.

Well, Cao Zhiqiang now carries 50,000 cash with him, but these cash are all in the pocket space.

In this day and age, if you ask someone to do something for you, even if you are an acquaintance, you will definitely have to pay them.

If you don't give money, even if someone does something for you, it will only be a waste of your favor and will not make the relationship more familiar.

Only by saying good things and giving good money can the relationship get better and better.

Of course, giving money is not random, it also depends on the person.

For a cadre with a humble and powerful position like Yu Deshui, there must be many people who want to give gifts.

However, since Yu Deshui is an official fan, he will definitely not accept gifts easily.

Because accepting gifts easily is tantamount to giving others leverage, which is detrimental to official career.

Come to think of it, Yu Deshui is the district mayor's secretary, and is said to be a strong contender for the next office director. Without a big background, he can only keep his integrity and work conscientiously.

If he showed any signs of being unreliable, he would have been kicked off long ago.

If nothing else, let’s talk about his eldest daughter Yu Fangfang.

With Yu Deshui's energy, it was not difficult for his eldest daughter to apply for a household registration and find a job, but he just did nothing.

This is obviously about cherishing feathers.

From this perspective, it is very difficult to find him to do things.

But having said that, what Cao Zhiqiang asked him to do, which was to handle the internship transfer for Xu Jingli, was different from the matter of applying for a household registration and finding a job for Yu Fangfang.

To transfer Xu Jingli's internship, you only need to talk to the relevant personnel at the university. Maybe it's just a phone call from Yu Deshui.

However, it is not so easy to transfer the household registration, transfer the rural household registration back to the capital household registration, and find a good job with a formal employer in the capital.

But even if it is difficult to transfer household registration and find a job, it is not difficult for the secretary of the district chief.

So why is Yu Fangfang still unemployed and without a registered permanent residence?

It's very simple, just because Yu Fangfang is Yu Deshui's biological daughter, and also because Yu Deshui is competing for the position of director and is being watched by too many people.

In fact, if Yu Fangfang was not Yu Deshui's biological daughter, but just an outsider or a distant relative, it would be easy for Yu Deshui to transfer Yu Fangfang's household registration and find a good job.

Because the matter of household registration is basically under the jurisdiction of the sub-district office at this time, and the sub-district office is a subordinate unit of the district government, and of course it is also under the jurisdiction of the district chief.

If it can be managed by the district chief, of course the secretary of the district chief can also speak well.

Like Cao Zhiqiang's brother-in-law Xia Siming, and her sister Cao Jiajia, if you ask Yu Deshui to help you register, as long as he is willing to help, it is actually not difficult.

But Yu Fangfang is Yu Deshui's biological daughter, and many of Yu Deshui's colleagues know her, so if Yu Deshui does not go through the normal procedures and uses power for personal gain to help Yu Fangfang transfer her household registration and find a job, someone will definitely give her a thumbs up.

In this way, Yu Deshui may not lose his job, but it will be difficult to make progress.

Yu Deshui obviously wants to make progress, so in order to make progress, he can only sacrifice his daughter's interests.

Of course, in fact, even if Yu Deshui does not help Fangfang directly, it does not mean that there is nothing he can do.

As long as Yu Fangfang marries someone with a formal household registration and a formal job in the capital, she can officially settle in the capital through marriage.

Furthermore, Yu Fangfang is different from Yu Yuanyuan in that she likes to be active rather than quiet. She is afraid of hardship and getting tired of being a worker, so the best destination is to be someone's wife and then a full-time housewife.

Therefore, Yu Deshui's failure to help his daughter does not mean that he does not help Cao Zhiqiang, or that he does not help that Xu Jingli. After all, the two situations are completely different.

Anyway, Cao Zhiqiang took the opportunity to ask for help this time and give it a try. If it works best, he should take the opportunity to resume normal relations with Yu Yuanyuan.

Thinking of this, Cao Zhiqiang remembered that the last time he went to Yu Yuanyuan's house, her house did not have a color TV, only a small black and white TV.

After thinking about it, Cao Zhiqiang added another imported color TV ticket issued by a hardware company to the mooncake box.

With this imported color TV ticket, you can go to that hardware company to buy imported color TVs.

This hardware company's imported color TV ticket was purchased in advance from a hardware store by Cao Zhiqiang in the name of the publishing house in order to reward everyone.

The purpose is mainly to use it to give gifts to others.

You know, it's very difficult to buy an imported color TV these days. It doesn't just take money, you also have to have a way and a ticket!

Because imported color TVs were very scarce at this time, apart from goods from unknown origins, the only serious ways to purchase them were specific friendship stores, foreign stores, and some large hardware stores and electrical appliance stores.

Even the Peking Department Store, which claims to have the most comprehensive range of goods, has difficulty buying imported color TVs at this time.

It would only be 85 years later that imported color TVs could be successfully purchased in Peking Department Store.

Not to mention the Friendship Store and the Foreigner Store at this time, Chinese people were not allowed to enter at this time, unless you pretended to be an overseas Chinese.

Therefore, the only normal ways for Chinese people to purchase imported color TVs are large hardware stores and large electrical appliance stores.

Among them, hardware stores are basically state-owned units at this time, and most of them come from the most legitimate sources. The source of goods for electrical appliance stores is hard to say.

Whether it is a hardware store or an electrical appliance store, they all issue their own electrical appliance tickets, such as color TV tickets, audio recording tickets, etc.

You can only buy goods with the tickets they issue themselves first.

In short, if you can get a regular color TV ticket now, that would be better than anything else.

Therefore, giving gifts with color TV tickets is not as eye-catching as giving money, but it is also very useful. It is one of the best gifts.

It’s just that when Cao Zhiqiang bought this batch of color TV tickets, he mainly wanted to give gifts to the people at the TV station and the tape factory.

Because when Cao Zhiqiang was making records before, those people helped a lot.

It is not appropriate to give them money directly. It would be much better to give them color TV tickets.

But now, you can add one more gift recipient, and that is Yu Deshui.

After preparing all the gifts, Cao Zhiqiang put on a relatively simple Chinese tunic suit. Carrying large and small packages of gifts, he ordered a three-wheeler and went straight to Yu Yuanyuan's house.

A familiar person came to Yu Yuanyuan's house. After knocking on the door, he discovered that it was Yu Fangfang who came out.

"Ah, Cao Zhiqiang?"

Seeing Cao Zhiqiang outside the door, Yu Fangfang was a little surprised: "Why are you here?"

"Hehe." Cao Zhiqiang said first, "Why, can't I come?"

"Of course." Yu Fangfang quickly opened the door, "Come on, come on in."

Cao Zhiqiang smiled and nodded, walked in with the gifts, and placed them on the coffee table.

"Hey, you!" Yu Fangfang smiled and closed the door and came over, "Come on, why do you bring so many things? You see so many people."

"Sister Fangfang." Cao Zhiqiang said with a smile, "They are not valuable things. They were given to me by others. I have no use for them myself, so I just gave them to you."

"Tsk, tsk." Yu Fangfang walked up to the pile of gifts without hesitation, looking left and right, "Hey, Maotai Wuliangye, and red panda cigarettes? Oh, your gift is quite heavy. It's not like that."

It's just a casual transfer."

Speaking of this, Yu Fangfang turned to look at Cao Zhiqiang: "You have something wrong!"

Cao Zhiqiang blinked and nodded simply: "Yes, Sister Fangfang is indeed smart. I do have something to do."

Yu Fangfang rolled her eyes: "Is it related to my Yuanyuan? Isn't it a marriage proposal?"

"You are joking." Cao Zhiqiang chuckled, "I am asking uncle to do something."

"Ah, look for my dad." Yu Fangfang nodded thoughtfully, then looked at the pile of gifts on the table, "No wonder, the gifts are so heavy.

But before I start my ugly words, my dad is a stubborn person and usually doesn’t do things for others. I’m afraid you will be disappointed and you will have to take it back when the time comes.”

"It's okay." Cao Zhiqiang smiled slightly, "Even if uncle doesn't help, these things will be kept and I won't take them away."

"Why?" Yu Fangfang asked.

"Why else?" Cao Zhiqiang spread his hands, "These gifts may be very valuable to other people, but to me, they are just ordinary objects.

Take Moutai, I still have some, but I don’t drink, so staying there is in vain.

Then you know, I don’t have any relatives to drink with, and I don’t like to travel around to give gifts, so they basically gather dust at my place.

Come here this time, I think it’s a shame to come empty-handed.

To be honest, based on my relationship with Sister Yuanyuan and Sister Fangfang, I believe that even if I come here empty-handed and I really want to ask my uncle to do something, you will put in a nice word for me, right?"

"Of course!" Yu Fangfang laughed, walked directly to Cao Zhiqiang, and patted Cao Zhiqiang's shoulder gently, "Don't worry, you are my sister's godbrother, then you are my godbrother.

It's rare for us to be so close to each other. Even if you and my sister don't get along well, it won't delay our friendship.

So, you are right, if you really come to ask my dad for something, even if you don’t get anything, I will still put in a good word for you."

"That's enough." Cao Zhiqiang chuckled, "In that case, sister, just take the things first. By the way, the chocolate inside is pretty good. It's imported from France. You can try it."

"The relationship is great!" Yu Fangfang walked over immediately and asked, "Where is it?"

Cao Zhiqiang pointed to a net bag and said: "Here, do you see the box? That's it! Forget it, I'll do it."

After saying that, Cao Zhiqiang walked over and untied the rope of the net bag.

After untying the mesh bag, Cao Zhiqiang took out the chocolate box inside, tore open the outer packaging, and took out the individual small packages inside, which were individual chocolates.

"Here, Sister Fangfang." Cao Zhiqiang handed over a piece of individually wrapped chocolate, "Tear open the small package and have a taste."

Yu Fangfang smiled, decisively tore open the small package, took out a piece and put it in her mouth, then she narrowed her eyes and smiled: "Well, it's sweet, fragrant, silky, and delicious!"

Cao Zhiqiang smiled slightly: "If it's delicious, eat a few more pieces. If you finish eating, come find me and I'll bring it to you."

"That's so embarrassing."

"What's the point of being embarrassed? You're my sister too."

Upon hearing what Cao Zhiqiang said, Yu Fangfang rolled her eyes at Cao Zhiqiang, and then said: "Sit down, sit down first, sit down and talk."

When Cao Zhiqiang sat on the sofa, Yu Fangfang started to pick up the thermos and make tea for Cao Zhiqiang.

While Yu Fangfang was making tea, Cao Zhiqiang looked around: "Sister Fangfang, why are you the only one at home?"

"Yes!" Yu Fangfang nodded as she filled the teapot with a thermos bottle. "My dad and Yuanyuan haven't gotten off work yet. My mom went to the market to buy vegetables. I'm not the only one left at home."

"Ah, that's right." Cao Zhiqiang nodded.

At this time, Yu Fangfang had already made tea and poured a cup of tea for Cao Zhiqiang: "Hey, drink it, it's just ordinary green tea. As a rich president, don't dislike it."

"No, no, you're welcome." Cao Zhiqiang smiled, picked up the teacup, and took a sip.

Immediately afterwards, Cao Zhiqiang praised: "Well, the tea is good, very fragrant. This is definitely not ordinary green tea, it must be good tea!"

Yu Fangfang covered her mouth and giggled: "Okay, stop pretending! This is really ordinary tea. I went to the tea shop to buy ordinary Tieguanyin in person. It costs three yuan a pound. How can I not know?"

Cao Zhiqiang laughed: "Even if the tea is ordinary, it becomes extraordinary after you brew it yourself, Sister Fangfang."

"Hehehe." Yu Fangfang smiled from ear to ear, "Oh, you are really good at talking. No wonder my sister is so fascinated by you."

Cao Zhiqiang smiled awkwardly: "Just kidding, we are just siblings."

Seeing Cao Zhiqiang's embarrassment, Yu Fangfang shook her head and stopped talking about this topic.

After that, she simply sat across from Cao Zhiqiang, stared at Cao Zhiqiang and smiled:

"Okay, let's not talk about that anymore.

But Zhiqiang, you came specifically to see my father today. What is going on? Can you tell me in advance?

Ah, I don’t mean anything else, it’s just that if you told me in advance, I have a good idea, so I can help you speak at that time.”
