Chapter 50: It's not a good match

On this day, Huaihua ran back to the courtyard at noon, extremely excited, and boasted to her family: "Mom, I found a job for my eldest brother."

"Ok?"

The whole family who were having dinner were stunned.

Qin Huairu glanced at her daughter, and her first reaction was not joy. Instead, she slammed the chopsticks on the table with a loud bang.

This action is exactly the same as Jia Dongxu's back then.

"What nonsense are you talking about, girl? What kind of job are you looking for for your brother?"

Not only Qin Huairu didn't believe it, no one else believed it either.

Huaihua didn't expect that no one believed her despite her efforts to help her family. She felt a little wronged and quickly explained the whole story:
"Mom, didn't you say last time that our neighbor Uncle He knows a lot of important people? When he went to the steel mill, your factory director accompanied him to inspect the workshops, didn't he? I'm looking for Uncle He to help me."

Uncle Ho? Ho Yu-chu?

This is reliable.

Not only did Qin Huairu's eyes light up, but Bang Geng also immediately became alert: "Huaihua, what did Uncle He say? What job did he assign to me?"

Huaihua hesitated for a moment and said:

"I didn't go to Uncle He, I went to He Xiao. He Xiao said it was no problem and said his father knew a lot of big bosses. Wouldn't it be easy to introduce a job to my brother?"

"He Xiao you're looking for?"

When Bang Geng heard this, he felt like a carp that had jumped out of the water and was hit on the head. He immediately said unhappily:

"Girl, what's the point of looking for that boy He Xiao? I thought you really found a job."

Jia Zhang also took the opportunity to say, "You are just looking for trouble. He Xiao is just a little brat. What's the point of him agreeing? His father He Yuzhu is a bastard. He won't help our family."

Qin Huairu felt even more uncomfortable when she heard this, and said directly:

"Mom, why didn't He Yuzhu help our family? The relationship between our two families was originally good, why did you scold Xiaoshui and Lou Xiao'e for no reason? Taking advantage of the fact that there is no man in their family, you go to their house and scold them. It would be strange if He Yuzhu doesn't bear a grudge."

Banggeng also remembers this incident. He was ten years old at the time and could remember things, but when he was a child he thought his grandmother was very impressive when scolding people.

Only now did he realize that he had a thick-legged kid at home, and now he couldn't find a job because of his fat grandmother's scolding. He immediately gave Jia Zhang a vicious look.

Jia Zhang didn't expect that she would be disliked by the whole family just for saying one word. She wanted to refute but couldn't find a reason.

At this moment, seeing the three children's disdainful eyes, I was actually frightened.

"Can you blame me for this? I just want to think of something for my family. Besides, Huaihua said she can help Banggeng find a job, so you should go find her instead of bothering me, an old lady."

Jia Zhang cursed and said a few words, then felt a pain in her heart. She didn't even bother to eat, so she went back to her bedroom, took out a painkiller and took one.

Without Jia Zhangshi at the table, Qin Huairu was silent for a while, expressionless, and asked Huaihua: "Huaihua, what's going on between you and He Xiao? Why did he help your brother find a job?"

Bang Geng also reacted and asked anxiously, "Yes, Huaihua, why did He Xiao help me find a job? Did he bully you and want to shut you up, so he threatened you by helping me find a job?"

Huaihua was so angry at the questioning from her own mother and brother that she was dumbfounded: "Mom, brother, what are you talking about? He Xiao and I are good friends. He heard that my brother didn't have a job, so he took the initiative to help me speak to his father."

When Banggeng heard this, there was a hint of disappointment in his eyes, as if he had lost 100,000 yuan.

After a moment of silence, Bang Geng couldn't help but ask again, "Did He Xiaozhen do anything to you?"

Huaihua was still a young girl. Her cheeks flushed red after being asked such a question. She felt distressed and looked at Qin Huairu aggrievedly:

"Mom, look at my brother."

"Bang Geng, stop talking nonsense."

Qin Huairu said something to her son, but in fact she felt a little regretful.

If something happened to Huaihua and He Xiao, then the Jia family would be like a carp making a leap over the dragon gate.

What a pity.

Qin Huairu was silent for a while, then looked at her daughter and suddenly realized that the little girl had grown into a beautiful girl.

At this moment, a thought suddenly came to Qin Huairu's mind: what would happen if Huaihua and He Xiao got together?
Once this thought arose, it was like a bamboo shoot after a spring rain and could no longer be suppressed.

There is no doubt that among all the people Qin Huairu knows, He Yuzhu, who can now afford a car, is the most prestigious, majestic and valuable person.

Can the Jia family marry into the He family...?

After dinner, Huaihua went back to school and Xiaodang went to wash the dishes.

Bang Geng sat down next to Qin Huairu with a mysterious look on his face and whispered, "Mom, do you think that boy He Xiao is trying to get my sister's attention?"

"What do you want to say?"

Qin Huairu looked at her son's cunning look and knew that the boy was up to no good.

Bang Geng chuckled and said, "Mom, what I mean is, Uncle He's family is so rich, they live in a small western-style house, and drive a car. If He Xiao really likes Sophora japonica, the betrothal gift must be considerable, right? And by then, I will be He Xiao's brother-in-law, so it's only right for him to arrange a job for me, right? After all, we are real relatives."

"You will have less dreams."

Qin Huairu directly poured a basin of cold water on her son and said coldly: "You also said that your uncle He lives in a western-style building and drives a car, so will he let He Xiao look for your sister?"

Bang Geng was stunned, and asked in confusion: "Why can't I find my sister! No, what's wrong with my sister?"

"It's not that your sister has done something wrong, but there's a huge gap between our two families. We are not a good match."

Qin Huairu's eyes were full of fatigue when she talked about this: "You still remember your aunt Jingru, right? She was prettier than your sister and was obsessed with marrying a city person. Do you know what her situation is now?"

Bang Geng thought of his cousin whom he hadn't seen for a long time, and his heart skipped a beat. He couldn't help but ask, "What's going on?"

Qin Huairu sighed: "You, the aunt, followed an official without any status. Now you are a mistress, a concubine, a concubine, do you understand?"

"Concubine? Auntie?"

Banggeng was also dumbfounded. Was he going to let his sister become someone's concubine?

The Jia family’s discussion came to an abrupt end here.

On the other hand, after Huaihua returned to school, although she was hit hard by her mother, she still held on to hope and came to He Xiao, hoping to hear good news.

When He Xiao saw Huaihua, he told her with a nervous look on his face that He Yuzhu did not agree to help others and also explained the reason.

When Huaihua found out, she was disappointed, but seeing that He Xiao looked like he had made a mistake, she didn't say anything.

It is said that children from poor families grow up early.

Huaihua is not a naive person. She knows her family’s situation. It is expected that He Yuzhu would not help.

But after that day, Huaihua and He Xiao never greeted each other when they met at school again.

He Yuzhu didn’t know what happened next between He Xiao and Huaihua.

My son is only sixteen years old and in the first year of high school. He still has a long time to live.

After the Lantern Festival, He Yuzhu prepared to return to Hong Kong. After booking the flight ticket, a small incident occurred when he was leaving.

Originally, Lou Xiao'e wanted Lou Zhendong's driver to take He Yuzhu to the airport.

But He Yuzhu still has to take Chen Jiazhen with him, which is a bit inconvenient.

Fortunately, my son He Xiao actually taught himself to drive before the Chinese New Year.

He Yuzhu let He Xiao try it out, and after confirming that his son was a good driver, he asked him to drive himself and Chen Jiazhen to the airport.

After seeing He Yuzhu and Chen Jiazhen off, He Xiao felt a little uncomfortable.

After a year of recuperation, Chen Jiazhen's temperament and appearance returned to their peak level. She looked like a beautiful woman in her thirties, with an elegant temperament and graceful demeanor.

Thinking about his own mother again, He Xiao is now afraid. What if his own father follows his uncle's example and stays in Hong Kong and never comes back?
After returning to Hong Kong, He Yuzhu lived a stable life. Every weekend, he would call home to ask about their situation.

In early March, the temperature in Hong Kong rose.

In mid-April, a batch of machines arrived from Sid.

He Yuzhu took the boat back to the mainland.

Nothing happened in Sijiu City.

Everything was calm in the courtyard.

There was nothing wrong with the Lou family.

The He family had even less problems.

All four sons are very well-behaved.

If anything, there are some unusual changes.

That is, He Yuzhu installed various household appliances in his own home, and also sent a lot of them to his sister He Yushui's home.

The hot summer is coming soon.

With household appliances such as refrigerators, air conditioners, color TVs, rice cookers, etc., Zhang Mengmeng and Zhang Yu can suffer less.

At the end of May, He Yuzhu returned to Hong Kong.

This time when he came back, He Yuzhu seemed even lazier.

After work, he just lies down on the boss's chair like a big boss.

Shao Anna followed him in and came over obediently to massage his shoulders, beat his legs and sing.

He Yuzhu reached back and touched her, and found that his smart and capable female secretary had changed into summer clothes. The silk skirt was thin, soft to the touch, and felt great.

Shao Anna has a man who reimburses her for all her expenses. She usually goes to brand stores to buy clothes. She either buys expensive ones directly or has them custom-made.

Seeing that the man was in the mood, Shao Anna was also somewhat tempted.

No one would come into the office casually, so the two of them acted shamelessly.

After much difficulty, I finished doing the bad thing.

Shao Anna cleaned up the two of them, then looked at He Yuzhu and said carefully: "Boss, Director Qiu has an invitation, saying that the TV station invited you to participate in the Miss Hong Kong contest. You didn't come back at that time, so I turned it down on my own initiative."

Seeing Shao Anna's rare timid look, He Yuzhu couldn't help but laugh out loud: "You little girl, are you afraid that I will find another woman and won't have time to love you, or are you afraid that I will get tired of the old and love the new and don't want you anymore?"

Shao Anna's thoughts were revealed by He Yuzhu. She pouted her rosy lips and said bluntly, "I, I'm just afraid that the boss doesn't want me anymore."

"Don't worry, as long as you don't act silly, I won't abandon you. You should know that I am sentimental."

He Yuzhu didn't say this out of thin air.

There were several times when He Yuzhu did not come to work, and the company had documents that needed He Yuzhu's signature, and Shao Anna delivered them to where he and Chen Jiazhen lived.

When Shao Anna learned that He Yuzhu and Chen Jiazhen had been a casual couple for eight years and had reunited after eighteen years, they could start over.

To be honest, Shao Anna was also very envious and moved.

Too much talk.

Shao Anna went to get the invitation to He Yuzhu.

The Miss Hong Kong pageant was previously organized by a nightclub and was held ten times in total.

It was re-hosted by TVB six years ago.

The behind-the-scenes boss of TVB is a famous figure, a big shot in the film and television industry who was later called "Uncle Six".

He Yuzhu had the phone number of this sixth uncle. They had contacted each other at a banquet before. He had also donated two sums of money to his fund, so they had some friendship.

After dialing the phone, He Yuzhu smiled and said:

"Sixth uncle, I'm Xiao He from Tianzhu Industrial."

"Mr. He, have you just returned from the mainland?"

Shao Laoliu on the other end of the phone was also quite surprised. He didn't expect to receive a call from He Yuzhu.

"I don't deserve to be called Sixth Uncle. You are my senior. Just call me Xiao He."

Although He Yuzhu is considered a tycoon-level boss in the Hong Kong Chinese circle because he is in charge of Dingcheng.

However, compared with predecessors like Shao Laoliu, He Yuzhu's influence is still far less, so he still has to have the right attitude and be humble when necessary.

"Then I'll take a big reward," Shao Laoliu is usually very harsh to his employees, but he speaks more kindly to capable people.

"Xiao He, you called, what's the matter?"

"Nothing, I just came back and heard from my subordinates that there is an invitation for me to be a judge for the Miss Hong Kong pageant. My subordinates were ignorant and rejected it directly. Am I not here to apologize to you?"

Shao Laoliu was amused when he heard this: "Hahaha, then Xiao He, do you mean you want to be a judge this year?"

He Yuzhu laughed and said, "That's not the case. Since I've already rejected it, I believe you have already made arrangements, Uncle Six. I won't bother you this year. If I'm free next time, I'd still like to trouble you to save a seat for me."

He Yuzhu actually has no interest in the Miss Hong Kong pageant.

The Miss Hong Kong pageant is said to be a program that appeals to both the elite and the masses, but in fact it is just a group of veteran SPs exchanging experiences with each other.

He Yuzhu really didn't want to be in the spotlight.

The two chatted for a while, agreed to have afternoon tea when they were free, and then hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, He Yuzhu saw that Shao Anna had not left the office yet, so he simply waved and asked her to sit in the rocking chair for a while.

An hour later, He Yuzhu left the office refreshed, leaving Shao Anna sleeping soundly in the lounge.
