Courtyard Houses: Starting as a Purchasing Agent

We're all workers, we're all the same kind of people, so why should we be treated differently?

"Cough cough cough..." He Yuzhu asked with a hint of sourness, "Patriotism... this big leader, did you know him before?"

"I don't know him!" Liu Aiguo shook his head and said, "I saw him a couple of months ago at the Yongding River and we exchanged a few words!"

"What?"

You said just two words and they invited you to dinner?

What are you saying that's so precious?

"Alright, you two, please go ahead and get back to your work!"

Secretary Wang left after he finished speaking.

Xu Damao went to the car to move the instruments.

He Yuzhu entered the kitchen carrying a kitchen knife.

Neither of them looked well.

Liu Aiguo continued to sit on the stone lock, smoking and watching with a smile as Xu Damao struggled to move the movie projector.

The two left!

Liu Aiguo was the only person left in the entire compound.

He wasn't in a hurry, so he sat on the stone lock and smoked.

A little while later, a slightly plump old lady returned to the yard after strolling around outside.

They were dressed simply, but very cleanly.

At first glance, she doesn't match the lady of the house at all, and could easily be mistaken for a maid.

But Liu Aiguo knew that this woman was actually the wife of a high-ranking leader.

The real mistress of the house.

"Hello, Auntie..." Liu Aiguo quickly stood up to greet her, saying, "I'm Liu Aiguo from the steel rolling mill. I came here with my wife today!"

The hostess nodded and smiled, saying, "Alright, alright... Little Liu, right? I've heard of you... Speaking of which, you and Old Liu are from the same clan..."

"Old Liu said the watermelon you sent is really good!"

Liu Aiguo's eyes lit up, and he said, "Really... Well, the villagers in the countryside grow them very well. If you like them, I'll go and ask them if they have any left..."

"Hahaha..." the hostess laughed, "You're quite the talker, young man, but it's already National Day, where can we find watermelons... Don't bother asking, this old woman isn't greedy!"

"Xiao Liu, you can just call me Aunt Wang!"

"Okay, Aunt Wang!"

"Come on, come on..." Aunt Wang said, "Old Liu is really something. You're his guest, what's the point of you sitting here... Come on, come inside with me!"

Aunt Wang led Liu Aiguo to the lobby on the first floor.

There's nobody here.

Liu Aiguo found a sofa and sat down casually.

Aunt Wang also brewed a cup of tea.

Then, pointing to a projector on the counter, he asked, "Xiao Liu, do you listen to music...? We have one here!"

Liu Aiguo looked up.

An old-fashioned record player.

A square box with a huge, trumpet-shaped brass horn protruding from the outside.

This was the first time he had ever seen this thing.

In this era, it shouldn't be called an old-fashioned record player; it is the record player of this era.

"No need, Auntie..." Liu Aiguo waved his hand and said, "I don't like listening to music either. You go ahead and do your work. Don't worry about me. I'll just have some water!"

"Well……"

Aunt Wang said, "I have to go check on that guy in the kitchen and see how his preparations are going. Old Liu is really picky about food!"

After saying that, Aunt Wang went straight to the kitchen!

At this moment!

He Yuzhu was sitting on a stool in the kitchen, smoking.

The more I think about it, the more depressed I become.

It wasn't just because of what happened to Liu Aiguo today, but because of what had happened over the past few days; the mere thought of it made him feel utterly disgusted.

What the hell!

He was hit in the groin by Xu Damao riding his bicycle.

Yu Haitang broke up!

I got scammed when buying a bicycle!

I lost another four or five hundred yuan.

They even broke the eggs!

It was more than a month longer than the factory ordered workers in the workshop to undergo labor reform.

Tough luck!

Damn it, I came here today and got crushed by Liu Aiguo again.

He smoked with a dark expression, his mood growing darker with each cigarette.

So, Sha Zhu is very simple-minded and tends to get stuck on things easily.

As luck would have it, at that very moment, Aunt Wang opened the door and entered the kitchen.

He Yuzhu looked up and exclaimed: "Hey... isn't this the big boss's maid?"

"Young man..." Aunt Wang asked, "Are you here to cook for the leaders?"

He Yuzhu was already in a bad mood, so he casually said, "Isn't that obvious... If I don't cook, why would I stay in the kitchen?"

His very first words were barbed.

But what hasn't the wife of a high-ranking leader seen?

Although I didn't like it, I still politely asked, "Can you cook Sichuan cuisine?"

He Yuzhu was furious and stood up abruptly: "Why are you asking so many pointless questions as soon as you arrive... If I didn't know how to do it, would I have come here?"

The wife of a high-ranking leader has also been promoted.

I don't owe you anything, so why are you talking so rudely?

"Sichuan cuisine takes a while to prepare, and the leaders have already started their meeting... They might even need to eat early, so why haven't you started cooking yet... Hurry up and sit down and start cooking!"

Aunt Wang rolled her eyes at He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu said, "I cook quickly. The boss is going to see a movie after the meeting... I can cook later when the movie is almost over... You should just do what you need to do and leave me alone, okay?"

"Okay, okay..."

Aunt Wang left home seething with anger.

Fortunately, she was well-mannered and didn't argue with He Yuzhu.

"Aunt Wang..." As soon as she entered the living room, Liu Aiguo poured her a glass of water and asked, "Aunt Wang, what's wrong... who made you angry?"

Aunt Wang said, "It's that cook again. He looks a bit dim-witted, and I don't know if he can even cook."

Liu Aiguo said, "Yes... he's the head chef at our factory, he's a pretty good cook..."

"She's just not very good at interpersonal relationships and speaks rather bluntly. But that's because she's been serving food to the chef for so long, and her personality has become ingrained!"

"Tch!" Aunt Wang exclaimed, "Why did you bring someone like this? Really..."

"Okay... I'll go up and check out the movie theater..."

Aunt Wang took a sip of water and was about to leave!

at this time……

He Yuzhu walked over angrily.

"Hey hey..."

He looked at Aunt Wang in the hall, still thinking she was just a servant: "What's wrong with you? There's nothing in the kitchen!"

"Where's the salt?"

"Where's the fire?"

"Why isn't there a gas cylinder?"

He came up and started swearing at Aunt Wang.

Aunt Wang was stunned.

What's wrong……
