The Courtyard House: He Yuzhu, Who Defied Fate

Director Guo thought He Yuzhu was scared, and said righteously:

"I don't care what unit you work for. Since you have a job, you eat and drink the state's food, and you still want to touch the state's assets."

I absolutely will not allow a national parasite like you to exist!

He Yuzhu was taken aback:

"A parasite on the nation, are you calling me one?"

Director Guo said:

"If I'm not talking about you, then who else could it be!"

He Yuzhu said loudly:

"Director Guo, right? I see your name is Guo Kaijiang. Since you put it that way, then I'll have to have a good talk with you. If you don't give me an explanation today..."

This isn't over yet!

After saying that, He Yuzhu took out his phone and started making a call.

The call was connected very quickly:

"Pillar, what happened?"

He Yuzhu said:

"Director Gu, I'm in the steel mill canteen office right now. Director Guo and his men have surrounded me and are saying I've committed a crime. You're in charge of handling this today!"

After finishing speaking, He Yuzhu hung up the phone. Then, He Yuzhu said to Director Guo:

"I won't stand for this if I don't get to the bottom of things today!"

I have worked so hard for the country, sacrificing countless benefits, and today someone actually accused me of embezzling state assets.

"If you don't give me an explanation, this isn't over!"

Seeing the angry He Yuzhu, Director Guo burst into laughter:

"Hahaha, you, you've already exposed your own secrets, and you're still pretending."

Today I'll make you admit defeat.

"I'm handling a case here, and I'm asking you, how much do you earn a month?"

He Yuzhu had no questions he couldn't answer:

"The director's allowance plus my first-level engineer's salary adds up to four hundred and eighty-eight yuan a month, double the amount for receipts!"

Hearing He Yuzhu's words, the onlookers were shocked:

"Four hundred and eighty-eight! This is the first time I've ever heard of such a high salary!"

"And there's a bureau chief's allowance, which means He Daqing's son is now a bureau chief!"

"That's not important. What's important is whether the doubled amount on the bills is based on wages or proportionally?"

Director Guo was taken aback. Wasn't he supposed to be in his twenties?

How come he's still a bureau chief? Not only a bureau chief, but also a first-class engineer!

This is going to be difficult.

He Yuzhu continued:

"Ask away, anything else you want to ask, I'll tell you everything!"

Director Guo knew he was in a difficult situation. After all, there were so many people here. If he went back in disgrace, how would he be able to carry out his work in the future?

Director Guo had no choice but to continue asking:

"Okay, based on the information provided by the whistleblower, did you buy your sister a car?"

He Yuzhu was taken aback, then he knew what was going on; it was probably Yan Bugui who had reported him.

However, He Yuzhu denied it, saying:

"No, no!"

Hearing He Yuzhu's words, Director Guo was about to speak when He Yuzhu said:

"I gave my sister a car. She just graduated from college. As her older brother, is it illegal to give her a toy?"

Director Guo was taken aback, then said sternly:

"Giving away a car isn't illegal, but where did you get this car? Can you afford a car with your salary?"

And as far as I know, you even have your own car!

He Yuzhu nodded:

"That's right, you don't know enough. My family has a total of three cars. I drive one to and from get off work and use it for transportation when I'm not busy."

I have one younger sister, and another one at home. She's used for grocery shopping and getting around for the family.

My wife doesn't want it, but if she does, I'll get her another one anytime.

What's wrong? Is there a problem?

Everyone was shocked to hear He Yuzhu say that. I never expected that He Yuzhu's family had so many cars.

Upon hearing this, Director Guo knew the matter was settled.

"Fine, you've got guts. Since you've already said so, then please explain where the money for the car came from!"

He Yuzhu looked at Director Guo with disdain, then asked Director Guo:

"Director Guo, are you deaf? When did I say that I bought my car?"

You asked me if I bought a car for my sister, and I said no, I didn't! Is that how you answered?

Why are you asking me about buying a car again now?

I already told you I gave my sister a car, I didn't buy one!

Director Guo paused for a moment, then said:

"You didn't buy your car, did someone give it to you as a gift?"

He Yuzhu said:

"No, who has the ability to give me a car these days?"

It wasn't a gift, but it wasn't bought either.

I just introduced myself. I am He Yuzhu, the director of the Seventh Bureau, and a first-class engineer.

As a first-class engineer, I can develop airplanes, so building a small car shouldn't be a problem for me, right?

I bought all the materials myself and then made them myself using my own abilities.

Not to mention you, even the housekeeper and instructors know about this. I didn't accept the raw materials as a reward; I bought them with my own money.

"What, do you want me to produce evidence?"

Director Guo was stunned, and everyone else remembered as well:

"Oh, I remember now, that's right, we talked about this a few years ago, I think it was in 1959."

He Yuzhu has indeed developed many aircraft!

"That's right, I remember back then, the newspaper even published 1."

"Yes, yes, I also heard He Daqing say that his son built an airplane!"

"Wow, that's amazing! I never knew you could build airplanes!"

"Are you stupid? They can build airplanes, so building a car is a piece of cake for them!"

"That's right, I remember back in the steel rolling mill, the skills he displayed were those of an eighth-level fitter, an eighth-level welder, and an eighth-level forger!"

"Now that you mention it, I remember now. Back then, it wasn't Director Yang, it was Director Wang!"

"That's nothing. They came here with their real credentials!"

"Yes, yes, I've heard that. He's a first-class cook, an eighth-class fitter, an eighth-class blacksmith, an eighth-class willow craftsman, an eighth-class riveter, an eighth-class carpenter, an eighth-class electrician, and several levels of sanitation worker."

I've forgotten. I heard his wife mention it briefly, but I've completely forgotten about it all these years!

……

Hearing Zhou's comments, Director Guo broke out in a cold sweat.

I never expected He Yuzhu to be so amazing, knowing so many things.

And judging from their appearance, they are not afraid at all, not even if the lawsuit goes to the teacher and the housekeeper.

Director Guo knew that if he didn't back down now, it would be too late once he did.

Director Gu said:

"Engineer He, no, Chief Engineer He, I'm sorry, I didn't know about your situation either. It was all told to me by a teacher named Yan Bugui."

He personally reported it, and we only started investigating after hearing about it!

Just as He Yuzhu was about to speak, Gu Zhiqi's voice came:

"Does having someone report it mean there's no need for an investigation?"
