Dressed as a little fool: marry and have children

Chapter 425 Director Li’s Compensation

After the third aunt left the Jia family, she unconsciously quickened her pace, as if she wanted to escape from that place full of complicated emotions as soon as possible.

She avoided the second aunt who was being surrounded by neighbors asking questions, turned a corner lightly, and walked towards the He family.

"Knock knock knock", the crisp knocking sound rang out in front of the He family's door, which was particularly eye-catching. He Daqing was sitting in the living room, holding Chang'an in his arms. When he heard the knocking sound, he got up and opened the door.

The door slowly opened, and He Daqing saw the third aunt standing outside. He showed a hint of surprise on his face, then he returned to his usual gentleness and asked, "Third aunt? Have you eaten?"

The third aunt shook her head. She knew that He Daqing was being polite, so she answered directly, "No, thank you, Uncle He. The meal is ready and we'll eat soon. I came to talk to you about something."

After she finished speaking, she looked around and saw that no one was around, so she lowered her voice and said mysteriously, "Mr. He, have you heard? Qin Huairu left a letter for Jia Zhang and then left directly."

He Daqing frowned slightly when he heard this, and was obviously a little surprised by the news. He was silent for a moment, as if thinking about something.

However, as soon as the third aunt finished her words, she turned around quickly like a gust of wind and left the scene almost at the speed of running. Her back seemed a little hurried and flustered, as if she was really afraid of being implicated by this sudden storm.

Seeing this, He Daqing's heart was filled with ripples. He recalled the various speculations he and He Yuzhu had made about Yang Jianye before, and those vague clues seemed to become clear at this moment.

Without much hesitation, He Daqing held Chang'an in his arms, took big strides, and walked towards the steel rolling mill. Every step seemed so firm and powerful.

When they arrived at the steel mill, the guard immediately recognized He Daqing, who often came to visit his relatives. He smiled warmly and greeted him enthusiastically. He took the initiative to ask He Daqing to wait in the security room, and he immediately sent someone to call He Yuzhu.

In this place full of the atmosphere of steel, interpersonal relationships are as closely connected as the parts on a production line. As the father of several children working in the steel mill, He Daqing is naturally highly respected and cared for.

The security guard had his own plan in mind. He knew the He family's status in the steel mill, especially the eldest son He Yuzhu, who was at the level of deputy factory director.

If he was more enthusiastic towards He Daqing now, maybe he could get a favor from him when he needed help in the future. So he worked harder, fearing that he would be negligent.

While waiting, He Daqing sat in the security room, looking outside the door from time to time. His expression did not show, but his heart was full of anticipation and worry.

Chang'an in his arms seemed to feel his grandfather's nervousness, and his little hands unconsciously grasped He Daqing's clothes, as if he was also comforting his father in his own way.

......

When He Yuzhu heard the report from the security guard, he hurried out of the office and saw his father He Daqing holding Chang'an and talking happily with the security guard.

"Dad, why did you come here with Changan in your arms?"

He Yuzhu took Changan, his movements were gentle and skillful, he gently rocked the child, his eyes full of doting. As he spoke, he deliberately teased Changan in his arms: "Changan, come, give daddy a kiss."

Changan was so amused that he chuckled, an innocent smile blooming on his little face. He kissed He Yuzhu's cheek generously, then clapped his hands and shouted excitedly:

"Dad, Dad!" This scene made He Yuzhu and He Daqing smile knowingly.

However, the warm atmosphere did not last long, and He Daqing's face gradually became serious. He looked at He Yuzhu and said softly:

"Qin Huairu and Yang Jianye left. They left a letter for the Jia family this morning but didn't say where they were going. I'm worried if this will affect your plans."

He Yuzhu frowned slightly when he heard this, but soon regained his composure. He gently patted Chang'an's back, signaling the child to calm down, then turned to look at his father, with a hint of complex emotions in his eyes.

"He actually left. As a former factory director, he is really courageous." He said in a low voice, his tone full of admiration for Yang Jianye's decisive action.

"What did you say?" He Daqing frowned and leaned forward slightly. The noise around him or his gradually declining hearing made him unable to capture every word clearly. A hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.

Seeing this, He Yuzhu slowed down his speech, and his voice became more gentle and patient:

"Dad, don't worry. I mean... there's nothing big for you to worry about. Take Chang'an home first and be careful on the road. I have to go to Director Li to report." As he said that, he handed Chang'an in his arms back to He Daqing.

He Daqing's expression eased slightly when he heard this. He nodded, and a look of relief and understanding flashed in his eyes:

"Okay, let's go back first. You should also take care of yourself and don't work too hard."

As he spoke, he turned around and held little Chang'an, who was looking around curiously. The figures of the grandfather and grandson gradually disappeared at the end of the steel mill.

After watching them leave, He Yuzhu took a deep breath, adjusted himself, put on a professional and serious expression on his face, and strode towards Director Li's office.

Pushing open the door, Director Li was looking down at the documents. He looked up when he heard the noise and saw He Yuzhu. The corners of his mouth unconsciously rose a little:

"Oh, Yuzhu, I was just thinking about you and you showed up just in time. We are so in tune with each other!"

He Yuzhu approached with a smile and started with a lighthearted joke: "Director, it seems that our tacit understanding can catch up with twins, hahahaha."

But then, he stopped smiling, stood straight, and looked determined:

"But let's get down to business. Director, I just received a confirmed piece of news that Yang Jianye - the man quietly left Sijiu City last night and his current whereabouts are unknown."

"left?"

Director Li's voice rose slightly and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure and his expression became serious.

He sighed softly, as if putting an imperfect but helpless end to this unfinished investigation, and then slowly said:

"Let him go. Since he has made his choice, we can't delay any longer. I will immediately issue an order to punish Xu Damao accordingly. As for that incident, we will stop investigating it further."

He Yuzhu couldn't help but feel a complex emotion when he heard this. He thought that Director Li would be furious about this matter, but he didn't expect Director Li to handle it in such a calm and rational manner.

He looked up at Director Li, with a hint of admiration in his eyes, but he also realized his shortcomings compared to him.

After Director Li finished speaking, he seemed to realize that He Yuzhu was still standing in the office. He tilted his head slightly, his eyes full of apology and concern.

"Yuzhu," he called softly, his tone a little gentler, "You are also an indirect victim in this matter. I was too anxious to deal with it just now and didn't have time to ask for your opinion. I'm really sorry."

He Yuzhu waved his hands quickly, with a sincere smile on his face: "Director, you are too kind. You must have your reasons for doing this, and I completely understand. Moreover, I believe that your decision is the most fair and appropriate."

Upon hearing this, Director Li smiled with relief and patted He Yuzhu's shoulder gently, as if conveying a kind of silent support and trust.

"Yuzhu, you are always so sensible. However, I still want to hear your thoughts. After all, this matter concerns you as well. If you have any different opinions or suggestions, feel free to bring them up and we can discuss it together."

He Yuzhu pondered for a moment, his eyes flickering slightly in deep thought, and finally he shook his head gently, with a sincere smile on his lips:

"Director, I really don't have any other comments. You have handled this very thoughtfully, and I am very grateful. Moreover, I am even more grateful that you still thought of me at this time."

Seeing this, Director Li's smile became even warmer, and he said seriously:

"Yuzhu, you are a good comrade. I know you have been wronged this time. I have decided to give the position of canteen director directly to your younger brother, He Yugang. He usually performs well and I believe he can handle this position.

As for the deputy director position, I will keep it for you. Whoever you think is suitable for the position can be directly appointed."

He Yuzhu heard this, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He didn't expect that Director Li would be so generous to give him such compensation. He quickly stood up, waved his hands slightly, and said with some excitement and humility:

"Director, you are so polite. I am really flattered. I will seriously consider the candidate for deputy director and make sure to select the most suitable person to assist in the work."

After saying this, He Yuzhu's face flushed. He was indeed very happy in his heart. After all, such an opportunity was rare. He thought to himself that although he had indeed suffered some grievances this time, it was all worth it to be able to receive such compensation and recognition.

He even thought mischievously that if such a "good thing" happened again in the future, he might face the challenge more positively.

Director Li looked at He Yuzhu's reaction and felt even more satisfied. He smiled and nodded, indicating that He Yuzhu could leave the office to prepare for the next work.
