Courtyard House: Drunk and barging into the Xu family's house, I woke up numb.

In less than two months, Cao Xu was promoted from a newly hired deputy team leader to the head of the security department, completing a three-level jump and becoming the de facto top leader under the director of the security department.

What does this show? It shows that Zhao Dong did not make the wrong choice. His timely switch of allegiance to Cao Xu was the right one.

Cao Xu's promotion naturally brought him pride, as Cao Xu's trusted confidant who had followed him from beginning to end was also proud. With his boss doing well, Cao Xu felt more confident speaking out.

After Yang Weimin finished his cup of tea, he left, and Zhao Dong began to congratulate Cao Xu.

After Cao Xu decided to go to Hong Kong, he became less enthusiastic about getting a promotion.

After all, once the person leaves, all of this will be empty.

Cao Xu looked at Zhao Dong beside him and asked.

“Zhao Dong, ever since I joined the security department, you’ve been following me around. You’ve done almost all the work, from serving tea and water to running around.”

"They are called members of the security department, but they do more than just secretarial work."

"I'm thinking of making you the deputy team leader of Group 1. What do you think?"

Cao Xu was promoted to section chief, and the position of deputy section chief was not going to Cheng Yuan. It would inevitably be taken over by Sun Guofu's trusted group leader.

As a result, the position of group leader was given to Yao Hao, a subordinate of Deputy Factory Director Li, and the position of deputy group leader was naturally left vacant.

"Section Chief, I'm not going anywhere. I'll just stay with you and serve you tea and water."

Cao Xu's feelings for Zhao Dong have changed from initial suspicion to trust in a short period of time, but he knows that Zhao Dong is a smart man.

A smart person knows how to make the best choice for themselves, so he chose to keep him.

“Zhao Dong, if you work as my communications officer, I can only offer you the salary of a security clerk, which is no more than thirty-three yuan a month.”

"But if you take this opportunity to become a deputy group leader in a group, your salary will be 46 yuan, an extra 13 yuan per month."

"Thirteen yuan, that's no small amount. The extra is enough for you to eat white flour buns every day."

Zhao Dongdao.

"Even if I don't get a raise, I'll still eat plain white flour buns every day. Anyway, I'm not going; I'll just stick with you."

"I've only been here for less than two months, and I still have a lot to learn. Let's talk about the job transfer later."

Although Cao Xu felt sorry for him after hearing this, he was actually happy, knowing that he hadn't trusted the wrong person.

"You chose to keep this yourself, so don't complain to me later that I didn't give you a chance."

"If we miss this opportunity, who knows when the next one will come?"

"Go back and think about it, or discuss it with your family, and give me an answer when you come tomorrow."

Just then, the door to his office was pushed open, and Cao Xu knew who it was without even looking.

"Cao Xu, you're doing great, you're getting promoted again. I'm telling you, you have to treat us."

Cao Xu watched as Cheng Yuan pushed open the door and entered.

"Please, just tell me where you want to go, and remember to leave me some of my wages for food."

Cheng Yuan stepped forward and put his arm around Cao Xu's shoulder, laughing.

"Don't worry, I'll definitely leave you enough money for the cafeteria."

After saying that, Zhao Dong pulled up Cheng Yuandao, who was standing to the side.

"Let's go, Zhao Dong. Let's go outside and talk to the brothers about where to rip off our Section Chief Cao!"

After He Yuzhu properly buried the deaf old lady, he bowed his head in a respectful manner and then cried a lot at the grave.

"As the saying goes, grievances should be settled and revenge should be taken. If you're unhappy, go find trouble with Jia Zhangshi tonight. Don't try to scare me, your grandson."

"My blind dates are about to begin. Whether you like it or not, please help me out. It will put your mind at ease if I settle down sooner."

"I met Qin Jingru. She's quite pretty and well-behaved. The broom I used to clean for you was handed to me by her."

“I see you as a woman who is content with her life. Please bless me so that all my wishes may come true. It will not have been in vain that I have been in mourning for you for three whole days.”

After reciting these words to himself, He Yuzhu burned some paper money and lit some incense and candles, then left with the people accompanying him to the funeral.

Back at the courtyard house, Cao Xu saw Qin Huairu feeding rabbits in the yard. He went over and took two tattered cabbage leaves to help throw them in.

"Sister Qin, is Qin Jingru still there?"

Qin Huairu nodded.

"Of course she's there. If everything's been ordered, how could she possibly go back?"

"If I take a bus back now, it will be dark by the time I get home."

He Yuzhu smiled upon hearing this.

"Sister Qin, could you help me make the connection later?"

Qin Huairu looked at the mourning clothes on He Yuzhu's body and said.

"Silly Zhu, the old lady just left, isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

He Yuzhu waved his hand and said.

"What's wrong with that? The old lady's biggest wish is for me to get married soon."

“I’m telling you, if my sister really succeeds, it will be considered that the old lady’s last wish has been fulfilled.”

What was the deaf old lady's last wish?

Naturally, people hope that Sha Zhu will marry Lou Xiao'e, a rich and beautiful woman, but there is absolutely no possibility for Sha Zhu and Lou Xiao'e now.

If the deaf old lady's plan had a chance of success when she first started, it was all shattered after Lou Xiao'e and Cao Xu discovered it.

He didn't want to provoke either the Lou family or Cao Xu. He just wanted to settle down, get married, and live a peaceful life with his wife, children, and a warm bed.

"Okay, come to my house and I'll formally introduce you."

He Yuzhu responded.

"Okay, I'll be there in half an hour!"

After saying that, he immediately threw the remaining cabbage leaves in his hand to the rabbit and turned to run into the house.

As Qin Huairu watched He Yuzhu run off with a joyful expression, she felt a pang of bitterness and resentment.

After feeding the rabbits, Qin Huairu returned home. Upon entering, he saw that the water on the stove had boiled, so he picked up the kettle and brewed a pot of tea.

"Jingru, come here, I need to talk to you about something."

Qin Jingru was playing with Xiao Huaihua in the inner room when she heard her sister call her, so she came out in response.

"Sis, what's wrong?"

Qin Huairu handed her a cup of tea, then sat down beside her and warmed her cold hands by covering the teacup with her own.

"Since you're here today, you must have figured it out."

"I already told you everything I needed to say last time I visited, and I don't want to repeat myself."

"Anyway, with the current policies, this is the only way if you want to leave the countryside and move to the city."

"Of course, if you insist on earning seven centimeters a day in the countryside and living that life of working from dawn till dusk, then I'm just worrying for nothing."

Qin Jingru played with Xiao Huaihua for half a day and got thirsty, so she gulped down half a cup of water.

"Sis, why do people in your compound all call him 'Silly Zhu'?"

"Is it because he's stupid?"

Qin Huairu smiled.

"Is he stupid?"

"Shazhu is just a nickname. His dad gave him it when he was a kid. It's the same as Gou Dan, Shan Zhu, and Sha Roe Deer in our village."

“If he were truly stupid, there wouldn’t be many intelligent people in this courtyard. He’s just pretending to be stupid.”

"You saw what happened in the backyard today. Do you really think he's stupid?"

Qin Jingru nodded, thinking about what had happened in the courtyard today.

"What you said seems to make sense. Although it was a bit rash, what you said makes sense, even if it offends some people."

"By the way, sis, how much does Sha Zhu earn a month now?"

Qin Huairu was at a loss for words upon hearing this. If it were in the past, she would have simply said "thirty-seven yuan and fifty cents," which would have stunned this naive and unsophisticated girl.

But the situation is very different now, so she can't bring herself to say those words.

"It's hard to say right now, but it should be around twenty or thirty yuan."

Qin Jingru asked in surprise.

"Sis, I remember my mom telling me he earns over thirty a month, why is it still uncertain now?"

Qin Huairu said.

"You're talking about before, when he was still working in the cafeteria, earning thirty-seven and a half yuan a month."
