"Yang Shicong, even if I starve to death and stop doing business here, I will never abandon Xiaofeng. I advise you to give up on that idea!"

Young Master Yang was taken aback by Yang Xun's words, then burst into laughter. Without saying a word, he got into the car, the driver started the engine, and they sped away!

Yang Xun helped Dai Jiaofeng stand on the side of the road, watching the cars disappear into the distance. The night breeze blew gently, and the courage he had just mustered vanished instantly. He felt cold sweat breaking out involuntarily. What had he just said?

He felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, his whole body was chilled, and a sense of desolation welled up in his heart. Faced with the choice between a man's dignity and his future, he finally made his decision!

But why does this choice make me want to cry so much?

Chapter 57: Song Yunhui's Torture

The Heavens Begin with Love in the Courtyard, Chapter 57: Song Yunhui's Torment. At this moment, in the capital city of Anyun Province, inside Anyun University, there was another person suffering greatly, and that person was naturally Song Yunhui.

The graduation season in June is over, but Song Yunhui still hasn't looked for a job or gone home. He stays in his dormitory every day, feeling extremely depressed and conflicted.

His ideal job was at Jinzhou Chemical Plant, which was only hiring one person from the school this year. He applied with the highest score in the school in his major, thinking it was a sure thing. But to his surprise, the job was taken by his roommate, "Third Uncle" Yu Shanqing!

Song Yunhui still can't understand why he was rejected. Based on his four years of understanding with Yu Shanqing, Yu Shanqing was at most a little more eloquent and good at socializing. In terms of professional knowledge, Song Yunhui was far superior to him. So why was he ultimately eliminated?

Seeing that his roommates had all left the school one after another, but Song Yunhui was still staying at the school, he was struggling with two questions. The first was whether he should go to any unit arranged by the school. The second was that he remembered what his brother-in-law Lei Dongbao had told him at the beginning of the year: if anything happened, he could call him!

College graduates in this era are rare talents, and many companies are eager to hire them. However, Song Yunhui wants to work in the chemical industry. All his knowledge in the past four years has been in chemical engineering, and he really doesn't want to just join any company, such as a pesticide factory or a fertilizer factory.

As for calling Lei Dongbao, he is now conflicted about whether or not to make the call, which is somewhat out of character for him. He hates getting things done through back channels, but at this point, he is still struggling with issues of principle.

This is why Song Yunhui ultimately lost to Yu Shanqing. After Jinzhou Chemical came to the school to recruit workers, he hurriedly went to review his professional knowledge, hoping to impress the examiners during the interview. He did indeed impress the examiners, but in the blink of an eye, Yu Shanqing was hired.

At that time, Yu Shanqing, carrying gifts, visited his department's class teacher and director one by one, and finally visited each of the examiners. Relying on his skillful interpersonal skills, he successfully defeated Song Yunhui.

Poor Song Yunhui, he still doesn't understand where he went wrong!

That evening, he stood in front of the dormitory corridor, looking at the empty campus. Feeling depressed, he thought about the past, about his life, and how his sister had given up the opportunity to go to university for him. The memories kept coming back, and he couldn't shake the sorrow in his eyes. This scene was somewhat like his father.

He took out a newspaper that had been folded several times from his pocket and slowly unfolded it again. It was a copy of the Huaxia Daily from four years ago, and the headline was about the resumption of the college entrance examination in 1978.

This newspaper was once a guiding light for Song Yunhui, illuminating his hopes in life. It was also through this newspaper that he was able to read aloud the central government's regulations on talent selection over and over again. He still remembers every single one of them. The most important point was that this time, with the resumption of the college entrance examination, talent would be selected for the country regardless of background or family.

It was a pity that after four years of hard study, he had only gotten this result. Frustrated, Song Yunhui folded the newspaper into a paper airplane, looked at the paper airplane in his hand, and slowly and forcefully threw it into the air.

The paper airplane's flight path seemed to mirror his life. It made a turn in the air, then flew straight down to the bottom floor. Suddenly, a gust of wind blew up, and the airplane soared into the sky, drifting into the distance!

The night was too dark; he could no longer see the paper airplane's trajectory, just as he couldn't see his own future.

Song Yunhui sighed, turned around and went back to his dormitory. As soon as he opened the door, he saw a figure packing his things inside. Song Yunhui was stunned and quickly called out.

"Third Uncle, when did you get back?"

Yu Shanqing turned around, glanced at Song Yunhui, and smiled somewhat awkwardly.

"Just now, I saw you in the hallway, so I didn't bother you much. I was just going to tidy up quickly and go back!"

Upon hearing Yu Shanqing's words, Song Yunhui felt a little embarrassed and quickly spoke up.

"Third Uncle, I don't blame you for what happened at the Jinzhou Chemical Plant. Don't take it to heart. We've known each other for four years, you should know my personality, Song Yunhui!"

Yu Shanqing glanced at Song Yunhui, and seeing that Song Yunhui didn't seem to blame him, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and quickly smiled and said.

"Xiaohui, don't be discouraged. Other companies are just as good. If you work hard, you can still achieve your ambitions and dreams!"

Song Yunhui shook his head and said.

"I'm not discouraged, just a little disappointed. I do want to work at Jinzhou Chemical, I admit that. My dilemma now is whether or not I should go against my principles and try other ways to get into Jinzhou Chemical!"

"Other ways to enter Jinzhou Chemical?"

Yu Shanqing was completely bewildered, not quite understanding what Song Yunhui was saying.

However, Song Yunhui clearly didn't intend to explain too much to Yu Shanqing, and said with a smile.

"It's already late, why don't we stay here for the night?"

Yu Shanqing smiled awkwardly and said.

"No, I came in my relative's car. I'll have him wait outside while I tidy up a bit. Xiaohui, let me tell you the truth, your workplace almost didn't work out, but with your knowledge, you'll definitely make something of yourself sooner or later!"

Song Yunhui nodded and quickly helped Yu Shanqing pack up. After they finished, Song Yunhui warmly escorted Yu Shanqing to the school gate!

Yu Shanqing felt somewhat awkward in front of Song Yunhui. As for the reason, he naturally knew very well how he had obtained the spot to go to the Jinzhou Chemical Plant.

Having spent four years with Song Yunhui, he knew very well how hard his roommate had studied. Jinzhou Chemical was the best chemical company in the country, and when faced with the choice between friendship and his future, he ultimately chose his future, which made him feel somewhat guilty towards Song Yunhui.

However, Song Yunhui, this bookworm, was obviously unaware of all this. Although he couldn't understand why he lost, since it was already a fact, he wished his "third uncle" a bright future!

Watching Yu Shanqing get into the car and then disappear down the road, Song Yunhui stood at the school gate, looking somewhat forlorn, for a long time!

Several minutes later, Song Yunhui turned and walked in one direction, which was not the direction of the dormitory.

Faced with the choice between principles and future prospects, Song Yunhui ultimately chose to abandon his principles.

Lei Dongbao was a little curious when he received Song Yunhui's call. Why did his brother-in-law call him so late?

On the phone, Song Yunhui's stammering request made Lei Dongbao secretly smile. After chatting for half an hour, Lei Dongbao handed the phone to Song Yunhui, and the two siblings chatted for another half hour before hanging up.

After hanging up the phone, Song Yunping realized that the call had lasted for an hour, and couldn't help but feel sorry for her.

"I wonder if Xiaohui brought enough money. Phone calls are expensive!"

Song Yunhui hung up the phone, feeling somewhat embarrassed. He didn't have enough money on him. Fortunately, the shopkeeper kindly remembered Song Yunhui's name and kept his student ID, telling him to bring the money tomorrow!

Song Yunhui quickly thanked the boss and returned to his dormitory. After taking a shower, he lay on the wooden bed and felt completely relaxed. The depression he had been under these past few days had made him restless. Although he was still unsure whether Lei Dongbao could pull some strings for him and help him realize his dream of getting into Jinzhou Chemical Plant.

But for some reason, he felt completely confident in his brother-in-law. With sweet dreams in his heart, Song Yunhui fell into a deep sleep!

On the other side, Lei Dongbao yawned. He had just finished showering. Looking at Song Yunping, who was heavily pregnant, Lei Dongbao stepped forward and carefully stroked her belly, getting a taste of what it was like to be a father.

Song Yunping was amused by Lei Dongbao's actions and happily patted his hand.

"So eager to become a father?"

Lei Dongbao nodded quickly, holding Song Yunping's belly and listening to the rhythm inside. Yes, he was about to become a father. It was as if a distant memory in his mind was about to be realized.

Such happy words! I just hope that mother and child are safe and sound. For some reason, Lei Dongbao suddenly thought of the scene in the original novel where Song Yunping and her unborn child died, and he was so frightened that he quickly sat up straight.

Seeing Lei Dongbao's appearance, Song Yunping asked curiously.

"what happened?"

Lei Dongbao quickly shook his head, indicating that it was nothing, but he had already decided to hire a nanny tomorrow. He needed to be on guard in all matters while he was away from home!

Lei Dongbao didn't take Song Yunhui's matter to heart at all. Although Jinzhou Chemical was indeed a behemoth, Lei Dongbao had gotten to know many of its leaders during his years in Jinzhou, so he figured the matter wouldn't be difficult to resolve.

However, Lei Dongbao doesn't plan to handle this himself for the time being. He intends to ask someone else to do it, and that person is naturally Lao Xu.

Old Xu came from Jinzhou Chemical Industry and has a much stronger network of connections than I do. I can also take this opportunity to get in touch with Old Xu more often.

Since Lao Xu returned to Yanjing, the two have rarely been in contact. They've only spoken once in the last six months. In fact, Lao Xu is now dispensable to Lei Dongbao, but Lei Dongbao knows the power behind Lao Xu, and besides, Lao Xu is to his liking.

Lei Dongbao thought for a moment, checked the time, and after a long pause, finally dialed the number of Lao Xu's hometown in Yanjing.

The call was quickly answered by the nanny, and Lei Dongbao immediately gave his name.

A moment later, a hearty laugh came from the other end of the phone.

Before Lei Dongbao could speak, Lao Xu's voice came over.

"Dongbao, you haven't contacted me for four months, why did you suddenly remember me!"

Lei Dongbao didn't hesitate at all and laughed heartily.

"Of course we've come to you, Lao Xu, for something!"

Old Xu also laughed heartily and asked what was going on.

Lei Dongbao smiled and told him about his brother-in-law, emphasizing that the other party had been ranked first in his major for four consecutive years. After hearing Lei Dongbao's introduction of Song Yunhui, Lao Xu agreed to the matter almost without thinking!

The two then chatted for more than an hour, from the current situation of Xiao Lei's family to the Jinzhou Second Machinery Factory under Lei Dongbao's management. They discussed everything from small matters to national affairs and policies, and Lei Dongbao had many insights to share!

Old Xu, sitting opposite him, was no different. Lei Dongbao's knowledge and foresight were ahead of their time. Every move Lei Dongbao made was being closely watched by Old Xu, who was far away in Yanjing. The revival of the Jinzhou Second Machinery Factory also shocked Old Xu from time to time. He was often gratified by his own foresight. When he first met Lei Dongbao, Old Xu was convinced by Lei Dongbao's knowledge. However, he did not expect that Lei Dongbao's abilities were far more than just those of the small Lei family!

The two chatted until 11 p.m., until Song Yunping gave him a somewhat dissatisfied look. Lei Dongbao quickly made an appointment with Lao Xu to talk later before hanging up the phone!

Song Yunping turned her back angrily, ignoring Lei Dongbao. Lei Dongbao chuckled and quickly went up to appease her, only then remembering that today was the day the two of them had agreed to meet.

As for the date, it's naturally the day for harmonious couples to build a harmonious family. The doctor said that women shouldn't have sex during the first three months of pregnancy, and they shouldn't have sex during the last three months either. Now it happens to be the last three months!

So, the understanding Song Yunping, in order to reward Lei Dongbao, agreed to reward him once a week in other ways. Today, Lei Dongbao almost forgot the time, hehe!

Chapter 58: Song Yunhui's Report

The Heavens Begin with Love in the Courtyard, Volume 58: Song Yunhui reports that Lao Xu is indeed very efficient. Song Yunhui only endured three days of hardship. On the morning of the fourth day, the school notified him to report to the personnel department of Jinzhou Chemical Plant as soon as possible.

The teacher who delivered the letter was also somewhat surprised and congratulated Song Yunhui. Song Yunhui quickly thanked him and then accepted the letter of introduction from Jinzhou Chemical Plant. Seeing the letter of introduction stamped with the official seal, Song Yunhui was overjoyed!

Looking at the hard-won letter of introduction in his hand, Song Yunhui went from being overjoyed to feeling a mix of emotions, and finally sighed. He hurriedly returned to his dormitory and began packing his things.

He took out a carrying pole from under the bed, found two fertilizer bags, filled them with his pots, pans, blankets and other personal belongings, weighed them in his hand, adjusted his glasses, picked them up and walked out of the dormitory.

Four years ago, he chose his university in the same way; four years later, he is choosing his workplace again.

After a two-hour drive, it was almost noon when Song Yunhui finally arrived at the entrance of Jinzhou Chemical Plant. Standing in front of the gate, looking at the rows of chemical equipment emitting white smoke, Song Yunhui felt a surge of pride and ambition.

In the future, I will definitely make a name for myself here!

Just as his lofty ambitions were rising in his mind, Song Yunhui felt his stomach rumbling. He then realized that he hadn't eaten breakfast. He quickly adjusted the carrying pole on his shoulder and quickened his pace toward the factory.

Jinzhou Chemical is the largest enterprise in Jinzhou. Its main plant and branch plants together employ more than 30,000 people and have a very high administrative level, even higher than that of the mayor of Jinzhou.

In addition, the chemical industry was scarce in the 1980s, so the company had a lot of say. Although Jinzhou Chemical Plant was located in Jinzhou, it was not under the jurisdiction of Jinzhou City.

Inside the Jinzhou Chemical Plant, it's practically a miniature society. Employees don't need to go outside to buy anything; everything from clothing, food, housing, and transportation to birth, aging, illness, and death is provided.

From schools to cinemas, hospitals to police stations, from shopping malls to restaurants, all functional departments are readily available. Even the children of employees follow in their fathers' footsteps. The employees of Jinzhou Chemical have an innate sense of superiority.

Song Yunhui carried his shoulder pole to the personnel department. He stood at the door and looked inside. It was almost lunchtime, and the staff were getting ready to go home for lunch.

There were a few young people reporting ahead of Song Yunhui, but the staff member yelled at them impatiently.

"Why are you so late? Come back this afternoon!"

As the staff member prepared to leave, Song Yunhui remembered the blackboard he had just seen outside. It was already 2:30 in the afternoon and he was starving. He didn't know if there would be any food left for him in the afternoon, so he decided to ask the staff member first.

Thinking of this, Song Yunhui quickly put down his load, stood up, and called out to the staff who were about to leave.

"Hello comrade, I'd like to ask you something..."
