Rebirth of Siheyuan starts in the 1980s

Chapter 451: Make something out of nothing, make up your own mind!

The sun went down and the lanterns came on. After finally finishing playing poker with Hao Shuwen, comforting Hao Shuwen, and listening to the beauty of Hao Shuwen's voice, Cao Zhiqiang dragged his tired body and took a taxi back to Qinghong Courtyard.

There is no choice, it is all your choice, no matter how tired or painful you are, you have to endure it.

After returning to Qinghong's house, sure enough, Wu Qinghong had returned from school, and as soon as she saw him, she immediately rushed over to her.

However, perhaps because of the presence of outsiders, Wu Qinghong did not rush to hug Cao Zhiqiang. Instead, she stopped in front of Cao Zhiqiang. Then, with light in her eyes and a smile on her face, she said softly: "I'm back, Zhiqiang."

powerful!"

After hearing these words, Cao Zhiqiang instantly puffed up his chest and nodded with a smile: "Well, I'm back, Qinghong."

"Come in quickly." Qinghong said with a smile, "By the way, have you eaten?"

"I've eaten." Cao Zhiqiang nodded, "But I didn't eat too much. I can eat with you again."

Indeed, Cao Zhiqiang came back after dinner with Hao Shuwen, but he didn't eat too much and was half full.

The main reason is lack of appetite. After all, most people just exercise too much and have little appetite.

"That's great." Qinghong said with a smile, "We haven't eaten yet, and you came just in time. The meal has just been prepared. Can we eat together?"

Things like a house, home appliances, water, electricity, and heating don't cost her anything. She just buys clothes and food. How much can she spend?

So usually, Wu Qinghong saves her money, just to eat and drink, which is a little upscale. However, limited by her original knowledge, even if she is more particular about food and drink, she is still ordinary, nothing more than chicken, duck, fish and so on.

You can eat whatever you want, but you don't want weird and expensive things like bear paw humps.

At the very least, Director Li did not doubt himself at all, and after listening to his own words, he began to make up his own mind.

As for whether Wang Xiaohong is really a social cow, we have to wait and see later.

However, before going to Hongguang Publishing House, Director Li suddenly stopped Cao Zhiqiang and asked Wang Xiaohong to go out first to talk to Cao Zhiqiang alone.

After a pause, Director Li lowered his voice and said: "That's right, our private sale of goods with Lao Wang from Yuhong Machinery Factory was somehow known by the old leader, and he severely criticized us, so that

Let's not do it anymore.

It can be said that this so-called meal of four dishes and one soup is definitely not something that ordinary families can afford.

Just now, letting Wang Xiaohong join Hongguang Publishing House as the cashier of the publishing house is the best cover, and she is very satisfied with it.

Immediately afterwards, Factory Director Li said: "You are like this. Since all the old leaders know about this matter, let's stop for a while on the sharing of shares, and then stop on the business with Director Wang to avoid the limelight first."

Say it again."

"Wang Xiaohong, you can do it!" Cao Zhiqiang looked at Wang Xiaohong, "You actually have such a skill?"

After thinking for a while, Director Li patted the armrest of the sofa: "Hmph, the old leader will definitely not send any spies, and the financial staff sent to your publishing house should have no way to contact the old leader.

"Hiss! That makes sense!" Director Li took a breath, "I think so too!"

After eating, everyone sat and chatted for a while, and then everyone took a rest because they were sleepy.

Cao Zhiqi frowned and said, "Unless the finance department discovers a problem."

When Cao Zhiqiang arrived in the west wing, he started to pretend to stay up late and write a book.

"What are you doing standing here?" Cao Zhiqiang, who was sitting at the dining table, said in a funny voice, "Come on, come on, let's eat together."

"I understand." Director Li nodded, "I understand this."

Because the cashier is more like a property custodian and she has no access to the real financial accounts, Wang Xiaohong is the most suitable person to be the one.

Anyway, Wang Xiaohong came here this time to play a role similar to ancient protons, to facilitate the internal communication between Hongguang Machinery Factory and Yuhong Machinery Factory, and to supervise the operation of some "special funds".

Soon, the dinner ended with everyone laughing and joking.

So, after waiting for the lights in Qinghong's room to turn off, Cao Zhiqiang made sure that the other party was resting, and then fell asleep boldly.

But I can't say for sure now. Maybe it's because of his modesty and non-threatening appearance that he has a special rapport with these two girls.

The same goes for Wang Xiaohong, except that she is a guest, so she also gets up early.

"No." Gu Zhenzhen smiled and shook her head, "I've already eaten."

There is no way, who asked Cao Zhiqiang to give Wu Qinghong enough pocket money.

Thinking about it, if she was really a simple accountant, how could Director Wang trust her to come with him and send her as a liaison officer?

"This..." Cao Zhiqiang blinked, and then quickly showed a confused look, "Is there such a thing? And even if it is, how could I know?"

Therefore, this meal is really not something that ordinary families can eat. Most of them only eat it when distinguished guests come.

Cao Zhiqiang was shocked: "Is there such a thing? How did he, Uncle Xu, know about it?"

After breakfast, Cao Zhiqiang told Gu Zhenzhen not to worry about them and go to work. Then he took Wang Xiaohong and went directly to Hongguang Machinery Factory.

"Yes, yes." Gu Zhenzhen also smiled, "At first, I thought Sister Wang didn't like to talk. Who knows that she doesn't like to talk to strangers. Once she gets acquainted with you, she may be very enthusiastic."

Director Li narrowed his eyes: "You really don't know?"

Seeing this situation, Cao Zhiqiang took a few more glances at Wang Xiaohong and suddenly realized that this Wang Xiaohong was not as simple as he thought, and she was not a simple girl who didn't understand anything.

Cao Zhiqiang nodded, sat directly on the main seat, picked up the chopsticks and tasted each one, and then nodded: "Not bad, good, salty and light, sweet first. With your level, you can become a chef."

Gu Zhenzhen was indeed very obedient. She went to buy breakfast and came back early, so as soon as Cao Zhiqiang woke up and washed up, he could go directly to have breakfast.

After walking into the living room of the main house, I found that there was indeed a table of dishes on the table, including braised pork, braised fish, stir-fried rapeseed, super large leeks, and a pot of stewed chicken soup, which was a typical four dishes and one soup.

In addition, I also steamed a large pot of rice and added some pickles to go with the rice.

Therefore, when Wang Xiaohong was seconded to Hongguang Machinery Factory, her length of service, professional title, etc. were still in accordance with the old rules of Yuhong Machinery Factory, and her files were also in Yuhong Machinery Factory, but her actual salary, bonus, insurance, and welfare benefits were

The seconded unit, that is, Hongguang Machinery Factory, will be specifically responsible.

"Oh, it's quite rich." Cao Zhiqiang, who saw this table of dishes, quickly praised, "Who made it?"

You know, since Wu Qinghong accompanied Cao Zhiqiang to the capital, not counting the round-trip travel expenses, only the personal pocket money given to Wu Qinghong. If calculated in total, Cao Zhiqiang has given more than 10,000 yuan.

Speaking of this, Director Li looked up at Cao Zhiqiang: "Xiao Cao, besides you, me and the old director, who else knows about this? It's not like you told other people, right?"

Finally, after some discussion between Cao Zhiqiang and Director Li, it was decided to let Wang Xiaohong serve as the cashier of Hongguang Publishing House.

Halfway through the meal, Cao Zhiqiang looked at the three women chatting and laughing, and said with some confusion: "It has only been so long, but the relationship between you three has become so good?"

"Unless what?" Factory Director Li asked.

Wu Qinghong smiled and said, "Yes, although Sister Wang is new here, she has a good rapport with me and we can chat very well."

If the Metallurgical Department knew about this, they would definitely contact the old leaders. After all, the rectification of our factory, especially the establishment of the publishing house, was all initiated by the old leaders."

The job of cashier also belongs to finance, but it is easier than accounting. Although it seems important, it is not as important as accounting.

That's fine. What's even more frightening is that someone was jealous of us and knew about this financial matter, so he secretly reported it to the relevant departments. Then somehow, Uncle Xu found out about it in time and reported it in time.

After being suppressed, I started to beat you and Secretary Dong anxiously.

"Basically, it's all cooked by Sister Xiaohong." Wu Qinghong said with a smile, "She cooked all these dishes. I just helped steam a pot of rice, and Zhenzhen was responsible for helping Sister Xiaohong."

It seems that this Wang Xiaohong is also a capable person.

Therefore, when they saw the four dishes and one soup that were all delicious and delicious, Cao Zhiqiang would have thought it was food ordered from the restaurant unless they told him.

Although Wang Xiaohong is still nominally from the Yuhong Machinery Factory and is the liaison officer sent by the Yuhong Machinery Factory to the Hongguang Machinery Factory, that was said in private.

Cao Zhiqiang said: "I remember, when I and you divided the money, I asked the unit's finance, oh, the finance of the publishing house to help me divide the money. After all, I was too busy at that time, so I didn't have time to do it myself.

"Ah?" Cao Zhiqiang was stunned, he really didn't expect Uncle Xu to move so fast.

Speaking of this, Cao Zhiqiang deliberately frowned: "Wait, you suddenly said that, why, Uncle Xu suddenly asked you to go with Secretary Dong, does it have anything to do with me?"

Because in 1983, although food shortages were no longer an era, food supply was still based on ticket sales, and it was impossible for ordinary families to eat meat every day.

Immediately afterwards, Factory Director Li said: "You guessed it right. The old leader suddenly asked me and the old director to come over. What he was talking about does have something to do with you."

Because Qinghong also knew that it didn't matter whether she went to Gu Zhenzhen's job or not, no one would deduct her money anyway.

In addition, without Wu Qinghong, Gu Zhenzhen and Wang Xiaohong were obviously much more reserved when facing Cao Zhiqiang, just like yesterday.

"That's it." Cao Zhiqiang nodded.

As soon as Director Li said this, Cao Zhiqiang knew that his strategy of "making something out of nothing" was working.

In fact, Cao Zhiqiang hoped that Wang Xiaohong would be a social cow, which would save him a lot of worry.

Cao Zhiqiang is now not afraid that his subordinates are capable, but is afraid of their incompetence.

After arranging Wang Xiaohong's work, Cao Zhiqiang took Wang Xiaohong to the publishing house and asked her to actually work.

During this period, Wu Qinghong originally wanted to sleep in the same room as Cao Zhiqiang, and also wanted to do something he loved with him.

Therefore, both emotionally and rationally, Wang Xiaohong had to go to Hongguang Machinery Factory first to meet with Director Li, who really had the final say.

Upon hearing this, Cao Zhiqiang nodded, because he knew that Wu Qinghong had no talent in cooking, and the dishes he cooked were only at an edible level. At most, he was good at steaming rice and making steamed buns, so this meal

It's definitely not made by Qinghong.

"Okay, okay." Cao Zhiqiang smiled and nodded, "I happen to be a little hungry."

"Finance?" Director Li frowned, "What happened to finance?"

In particular, Wang Xiaohong is the daughter of Factory Director Wang, and Factory Manager Wang directly determines Jinling City's distribution points and is Jinling City's largest partner, so she cannot be overemphasized.

After asking, I found out that Qinghong went to school early in the morning.

"I've eaten it too." Wang Xiaohong also smiled.

It's very simple. Wang Xiaohong is the accountant of Yuhong Machinery Factory and the liaison officer sent by Yuhong Machinery Factory. She actually represents Yuhong Machinery Factory.

Wang Xiaohong smiled shyly and said while playing with her braids: "No, it's just home-cooked food. Brother Cao, please try it and see if it suits your taste."

After hearing that Cao Zhiqiang had arranged a place for Wang Xiaohong, Director Li nodded and relaxed.

Although there was no military training in universities during this period, there were early classes and early self-study, so you also had to go to school early.

"Hehehehe." Wang Xiaohong said with a smile, "To be honest, I have been greedy since I was a child, so when I was very young, I liked to go to the kitchen and watch how people cook. Then as time went by, I learned many dishes by going back and forth."

Nominally, or theoretically speaking, Wang Xiaohong is seconded by her employer.

Early the next morning, when Cao Zhiqiang got up, he didn't find Qinghong.

"I think so too." Cao Zhiqiang said solemnly, "At the same time, we still conduct self-examination and self-correction, and try to kick out some unreliable people to prevent similar things from happening again in the future."

After meeting with Director Li, it was time to arrange specific work steps.

However, in order to reassure Qinghong, Cao Zhiqiang did not return to the long-term rental house at Jianguo Hotel, but stayed to sleep.

Factory Director Li is still so amiable and caring for Wang Xiaohong, and even wants to arrange a place for Wang Xiaohong.

"Oh, I've eaten." Cao Zhiqiang nodded, "That's good."

After Wang Xiaohong left the factory director's office and there were only Director Li and Cao Zhiqiang in the room, Director Li suddenly sighed, then stared into Cao Zhiqiang's eyes and said: "Xiao Cao, last night, the old director and I suddenly

I was called over by the old leader and given a lecture together, do you know this?"

Speaking of this, Director Li touched his chin and nodded: "That's right, that's right, that's what it should be!"

Cao Zhiqiang narrowed his eyes: "Okay, I will listen to you, then I will leave first? Go and arrange Wang Xiaohong first?"

Although Qinghong is not that kind of person, people will change. Qi Qinghong can't stand the pain of lovesickness. It's like the island country romance movie he watched in his previous life. What will he do if he comes over in the middle of the night and attacks her at night?

Just kidding, Cao Zhiqiang is still taking traditional Chinese medicine on time every day to replenish his body. After abstaining from sex for more than a month, his energy has recovered a little, but he can't stumble on sex anymore.

Xiaohong, where did you learn this craft? This cannot be practiced overnight!"

As for Gu Zhenzhen, her cooking skills are not as good as Wu Qinghong.

"What do I know?" Cao Zhiqiang smiled bitterly, "Director Li, I just came back yesterday. As soon as I came back, I was busy arranging Wang Xiaohong's residence, and then went back to rest. I haven't seen Uncle Xu at all."

But if I think about it carefully, why should I divide my personal income into three parts?

Apart from anything else, it is definitely not easy to be able to get along with Wu Qinghong and Gu Zhenzhen in such a short period of time.

In this way, Wu Qinghong continued to sleep in the main room, while Cao Zhiqiang slept in the west room of the main room, and the east and west wings were given to Gu Zhenzhen and Wang Xiaohong respectively.

Ordinarily, the money that I asked the finance department to divide and package should be regarded as my own private income, so there should be no problem.

Relatively speaking, taking good care of Cao Zhiqiang is the most important thing.

"If a tree is as beautiful as the forest, the wind will destroy it!" Cao Zhiqiang sighed, "Director Li, it seems that we have made too many moves recently and made people jealous, so for the time being, we have to be careful.

Just click.

There are not many young people like Cao Zhiqiang who like to drink that stuff.

Therefore, it is very important to arrange an important but not particularly important superficial position for her.

Therefore, there is a high probability that what you said is true. Someone is jealous of us, and then somehow, he found out about your splitting the finance into three parts. He then suspected that there was something wrong with you and made an anonymous report.

In other words, I actually asked the finance department to divide and package the two pieces of money for you and Secretary Dong in advance, and then I will bring the money directly to you.

During the meeting with Director Li, everything was normal, at least it seemed that way.

If so, it would be really troublesome!"

Director Li frowned, then nodded: "That's right, you just came here, so it's unlikely that you know about this."

"I understand." Director Li said with a livid face, "Don't worry, I know how to do it. You don't have to worry about these things."

"How is that possible!" Cao Zhiqiang immediately shook his head, "Director Li, you know that I proposed this in the first place, and I also took the risk, so how could I tell outsiders about this kind of thing? Unless...

"

"Yeah, I'm wondering too." Director Li frowned and said, "You said that we and Lao Wang from Yuhong Machinery Factory were secretly doing private work, and the old leader knew about it. It's not surprising, but Lao Wang and I

How could he know about Dong's 10% profit?"

However, when Qinghong got up, Cao Zhiqiang was still sleeping soundly. Qinghong couldn't bear it, so she didn't wake him up and only asked Gu Zhenzhen to take care of Cao Zhiqiang.

Immediately afterwards, Cao Zhiqiang asked everyone to take their seats and started eating directly.

As for soybean juice, well, not many people in Peiping like to drink it, only the older generation drinks it.

After saying that, Cao Zhiqiang stopped caring about them and started eating breakfast.

In this era when households with 10,000 yuan are still very rare, Wu Qinghong did nothing. With only the pocket money given by Cao Zhiqiang every month, she easily entered the class of households with 10,000 yuan. This shows how comfortable her life is now.

"No way." Wang Xiaohong lowered her head shyly, "I, I'm just crazy, don't laugh at me."

Although it's just ordinary soy milk fried dough sticks boiled in braised sauce, it's quite delicious.

Then, your publishing house is a subordinate unit of our machinery factory. Although our machinery factory is no longer in glory, it is still an enterprise directly under the ministry and commission. If you don’t look at the face of a monk or the face of a Buddha, the person who receives the report will definitely notify Metallurgy first.

department.

Therefore, Cao Zhiqiang finally coaxed Wu Qinghong back on the pretext that he had a heavy responsibilities on his shoulders, he had to stay up late to work, he had to focus on his studies, he had a long time to come, and he was afraid of people gossiping.

But here in Cao Zhiqiang, or Qinghong here, this meal is really a common meal.

Finance people are all smart people. If one of them is Uncle Xu's spy, or someone secretly reports to Uncle Xu, it is not difficult to guess it based on Uncle Xu's wisdom.

In addition, since Uncle Xu called you and Secretary Dong over instead of me, he probably wanted to tell you in a subtle way that this matter is mainly related to you two. It is possible that you or Secretary Dong have sinned against someone, so,

You must be careful!"

Not only that, he also found out about your publishing house, which privately gave me and the old director 10% of the profit, but the old boss didn’t let me take it."

It can be said that, at least for now, Wu Qinghong has not completely broken away from her original simple values, and is still a bit too stingy in spending money.

It's not that Cao Zhiqiang is really busy with work, the main reason is that he is afraid that Qinghong will sneak up in the middle of the night and attack him at night.

The key point is that Wu Qinghong doesn't usually have much money to spend.

"Go ahead, go ahead." Director Li said, "Wang Xiaohong must make arrangements, be more stable recently, and don't do anything you shouldn't do. Wait until I find out the insider and avoid the limelight!"

"I'm afraid it's hard to find the mole." Cao Zhiqiang said, "If the report is made anonymously, it won't be easy."

"This is easy to handle." Director Li said, "Since it is unreliable, just change a group of people. In short, you don't have to worry about this matter, I have a way!"

Cao Zhiqiang then stood up: "Okay, then I'll just wait for the good news!"
