Siheyuan: I have a multi-dimensional chat group!

Director Wang responded to Yan Bugui with a smile, and then led Li Caijuan toward the Intermediate People's Court.

He Yuzhu, who was anxiously waiting inside the house, saw Director Wang enter the courtyard and excitedly went to greet him: "Director Wang, is this the girl?"

"Hello, lady! My name is He Yuzhu, and I'm a cook at the steel rolling mill." Seeing that Li Caijuan was pretty and exactly his type, He Yuzhu couldn't wait to greet her.

Seeing He Yuzhu's eager look, Director Wang smiled and said, "Zhuzi, this is Li Caijuan, a textile factory worker. If you two get together, you'll be a dual-income family, and your living conditions will improve dramatically."

"Director Wang is right. Come, come, come to my house and have a seat!" He Yuzhu welcomed the two into the house. "I've prepared quite a few dishes, so Director Wang and Comrade Caijuan can try my cooking!"

Director Wang also spoke up for He Yuzhu, saying, "Caijuan, Zhu's cooking skills are unparalleled, among the best in the surrounding factories! The leaders of Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill usually have special meals cooked by Zhu. If you work with him, at least you won't have to worry about food, and you can have a good meal every now and then."

He Yuzhu looked a bit older than his age, and Li Caijuan's first impression of him was rather average.

However, after listening to Director Wang's words, Li Caijuan also felt that He Yuzhu was not bad.

These days, chefs don't earn much, but they eat well.

If you cook special meals for your boss, you can easily deduct a small amount and that's enough for a meal at home.

Director Wang did not eat at He Yuzhu's house, but instead left Li Caijuan behind and went back to the subdistrict office.

So He Yuzhu cooked in the kitchen while chatting with Li Caijuan.

“Comrade Caijuan, I only have one younger sister in my family, and we have two rooms. She is still young, and I just hope that her future partner will treat her well. I have no other requirements.”

"Comrade He Yuzhu, I also have younger siblings at home, and I've taken good care of them! If we get together, I will definitely treat your sister as my own sister."

The two chatted more and more congenially, and before they knew it, He Yuzhu had prepared a table full of dishes.

After tasting He Yuzhu's cooking, Li Caijuan felt even more that He Yuzhu was quite good.

After finishing their meal, Li Caijuan helped He Yuzhu tidy up before saying goodbye: "Comrade He Yuzhu, I should go now."

"Okay, I'll see you to the door."

The two walked out of the central courtyard chatting and laughing.

Xu Damao, who had been waiting all morning, saw that Li Caijuan was about to go back, so he secretly left the yard through the back door and found a corner to wait quietly.

Xiao Shan watched Xu Damao leave through the back door and knew that the kid probably wanted to ruin He Yuzhu's blind date, so he quietly followed him.

Li Caijuan came out of the courtyard house and turned at the street corner, where she happened to meet Xu Damao, who was waiting there.

"Hey, Comrade Caijuan, we meet again!" Xu Damao greeted Li Caijuan with a smile.

Li Caijuan was stunned for a moment when she saw Xu Damao standing in front of her.

However, she didn't think anything of it and politely replied, "Hello, Comrade Xu Damao!"

"Comrade Caijuan, how did your blind date with He Yuzhu go today?"

Li Caijuan frowned, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Not bad! What's wrong? Is there something you need, Comrade Xu Damao?"

"There are some things I want to talk to you about!" Seeing that Li Caijuan actually had a good impression of He Yuzhu, Xu Damao immediately wanted to trip her up.

Li Caijuan sized up Xu Damao: "Comrade Xu Damao, just say what you need to say!"

"That's right, Director Wang isn't from our institute, so he doesn't know He Yuzhu's true colors!" Xu Damao began to sow discord among He Yuzhu's followers. "He Yuzhu's nickname in our institute is 'Silly Zhu.' Don't let his seemingly normal appearance fool you; he's a scoundrel with violent tendencies, and he does stupid things from time to time. If you don't believe me, go ask around in our institute; everyone knows about it!"

Li Caijuan's heart skipped a beat: if He Yuzhu really had violent tendencies, no matter how good his conditions were, she couldn't marry him!

However, Li Caijuan did not completely believe Xu Damao's one-sided story: "Comrade Xu Damao, thank you for telling me this. I will investigate further!"

"But I can also tell that you're not a good person! Rushing people in your own neighborhood to arrange blind dates and smearing them—that's not the behavior of a decent person!"

After spitting at Xu Damao, Li Caijuan turned and left.

Chapter Thirty-Three: Xiao Shan's Admonition! (Please collect, give flowers, and leave reviews!)

Xu Damao was dumbfounded as he watched Li Caijuan walk away with an air of nonchalance.

Then, indignantly, he said, "Pah, pah, you're not a good person at all! You've taken my kindness for granted."

After saying that, Xu Damao strolled away.

Watching Xu Damao leave, Xiao Shan came out of the alley and quickly caught up with Li Caijuan: "Comrade Li Caijuan." Li Caijuan turned around and saw a man she didn't recognize.

Li Caijuan asked warily, "Who are you? How do you know my name? I don't remember knowing you!"

"I'm from He Yuzhu's courtyard," Xiao Shan quickly explained.

Li Caijuan frowned and said, "Are there really no good people in your courtyard? I'm on a blind date with He Yuzhu, and one after another they come to cause trouble?"

"I'm not here to cause trouble. I just happened to overhear your conversation with Xu Damao and wanted to say a few words of justice for He Yuzhu!" Xiao Shan waved his hand and said, "Xu Damao and He Yuzhu are mortal enemies, so his words are not to be trusted!"

"He Yuzhu doesn't have any violent tendencies. He's just a straightforward person who likes to meddle in other people's business. He doesn't have any other flaws. You'll know once you spend more time with him!"

"Besides, He Yuzhu is the head chef at the steel mill. He often brings back dishes, and many people in the courtyard are jealous of his life. You won't get any good things to say about him even if you ask around!"

Instead of listening to others, you should see and experience it for yourself.

After saying that, Xiao Shan turned and left.

Xiao Shan was willing to speak up for He Yuzhu not only because he had a good relationship with He Yuzhu, but also because...

Also, he wanted to see what would happen to the people in the courtyard after He Yuzhu had his own little family!

Watching Xiao Shan's retreating figure, Li Caijuan turned and walked away thoughtfully.

In the Intermediate Court, Yi Zhonghai stopped He Yuzhu, who was seeing Li Caijuan off and was about to return to his room: "Zhuzi, what do you think of this girl?"

He Yuzhu said happily, "Uncle, that's great! Comrade Caijuan is a female worker in a textile factory, so we'll be a dual-income family after we get married. She also said that she has younger brothers and sisters, and if we get married, she will definitely treat Yushui like her own sister."

Hearing He Yuzhu's words, Yi Zhonghai's mood was not very pleasant.

Although he had Dongxu as his primary choice for retirement, he didn't want to see He Yuzhu, his backup candidate, slip out of his control.

"Zhu Zi, marriage is a major life event! Have you found out about this girl's family situation? What do her parents do for a living? Do you know how many people are in her family?"

Because he was in a bad mood, Yi Zhonghai unconsciously raised the intensity of his tone.

He Yuzhu frowned and looked at Yi Zhonghai with a somewhat displeased tone, saying, "Uncle, I've found a partner for me, and you don't seem too satisfied with her!"

Although He Yuzhu respects Yi Zhonghai quite a bit, you're not my father, so why are you interfering in my dating life?

Yi Zhonghai also noticed that He Yuzhu's tone was off, and quickly explained, "Zhuzi, this old man is just concerned about you and wants to warn you not to be fooled!"

He Yuzhu's expression softened: "Don't worry, old man, Comrade Caijuan was introduced by Director Wang, so she's definitely from a respectable family. She might even be a relative or friend of Director Wang!"

Yi Zhonghai felt even more disgusted after hearing this.

If Director Wang's relative or friend's daughter moves in, this old man will have to be careful.

No matter what happens in the courtyard, it's unlikely to escape Director Wang's notice.

After giving He Yuzhu a few perfunctory words, Yi Zhonghai went home absentmindedly.

After returning from outside, Xiao Shan went directly to He Yuzhu's house.

Seeing He Yuzhu sitting in the room grinning foolishly, Xiao Shan asked with a smile, "Brother Zhu, how did the blind date go?"

He Yuzhu chuckled: "It's alright. She has a job and seems quite satisfied with me. I'm satisfied with her too. Let's get to know each other slowly."

Hearing He Yuzhu say this, Xiao Shan couldn't help but think to himself: "You'll slowly untangle this mess sooner or later, but Xu Damao and his gang will ruin it."

So Xiao Shan looked at He Yuzhu with a serious expression and said, "Brother Zhu, when it comes to dating, you have to be quick and decisive. The longer you drag it out, the more likely things will go wrong. If you're satisfied with the girl and she's satisfied with you, then hurry up and set a date to get your marriage certificate. After you're married, there'll be plenty of time to get to know each other better."

"You're giving me pointers now!" He Yuzhu said with a laugh. "Come to my house for dinner tonight. I made a lot of dishes at noon, and I saved half of each dish."

Xiaoshan would naturally not refuse such a request.

Soon it was time for dinner, and Xiao Shan arrived at He Yuzhu's house with a bottle of Fenjiu liquor and a plate of peanuts.

At this moment, He Yuzhu had already placed the dishes on the table.

Looking at what Xiao Shan was holding, He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Xiao Shan, you brought your own food to eat with me? Isn't that being too polite?"

"Brother Zhu, you've got a table full of delicious food, how can we not have a couple of drinks?" Xiao Shan said as he placed the food on the table. "By the way, where's Yushui?"

He Yuzhu brought over a chair: "There's a school event, so Yushui won't be back this weekend!"

After three drinks, the atmosphere gradually became more lively.

Xiao Shan looked at He Yuzhu and said, "Brother Zhu, I'm not trying to criticize you, but you're already twenty-three. It must be hard for a grown man to sleep alone! If you ask me, tomorrow you should go directly to the factory to get a letter of introduction, and after get off work go to Director Wang to find out the girl's address. Then you can buy some nice things and win over her parents."

"If circumstances allow, we'll get our marriage certificate in a couple of days, then I'll have a wife to warm my bed every night!"

He Yuzhu put down his cup and said hesitantly, "This is too fast!"

"Not fast at all! Some people even go on blind dates in the morning and get married in the afternoon!"

He Yuzhu hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I need to date her for a few months to see what her character is like. If she's not a good person, I can't marry her."

Hearing He Yuzhu say this, Xiao Shan didn't say anything more.

After all, it's hard to persuade a damned ghost with good advice. He had said what he needed to say, and now it was up to He Yuzhu to decide.

After finishing his meal, Xiao Shan strolled out of He Yuzhu's house.

As soon as I stepped outside, I saw Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu carrying Xiaodang and several large bags into the yard.

"Brother Dongxu, sister-in-law, where have you been having fun?" Xiao Shan greeted them with a smile.

Jia Dongxu also smiled and said, "We went to Qin Family Village to visit my father-in-law and mother-in-law."

Although the Jia family and Xiao Shan had some conflicts due to the college-wide meeting, none of the conflicts were made public.

When you meet, you should greet each other and maintain a superficially amicable relationship.

Chapter Thirty-Four: Zhang Chulan and Han Li Join the Group! (Please collect, give flowers, and leave reviews!)

That night, He Yuzhu couldn't sleep!

He said nice things, but his mind was filled with the things Xiaoshan had said during dinner.

He Yuzhu has been single for 23 years and has long wanted to have a wife.

However, when having dinner with Xiao Shan, she had to maintain a reserved demeanor on the surface, afraid that she would be laughed at by Xiao Shan if she was too eager.

With a final grit of his teeth, He Yuzhu decided to do as Xiao Shan said.

The next day, Xiao Shan was working hard in the workshop to contribute to the country's construction when he suddenly heard a notification sound from the chat group.

"Ding! A new member has joined the chat group. Group owner, please check!"

"Ding! Zhang Chulan from Under One Person has joined the chat group!"

"Ding! Han Li from 'A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality' has joined the chat group!"

Seeing that only two new members joined the group this time, Xiao Shan was taken aback: "Is the number of new members joining this dimensional chat group different each time?"

However, Xiao Shan didn't think much of it and directly welcomed the two new members in the chat group.

Group admin Xiao Shan: "Welcome new members! You can check the group announcement first! If you have any questions, you can ask us in the group!"

The group announcement was created by Xiaoshan in his spare time for new members to see, so that they wouldn't be confused after joining the group.

Yue Buqun: "Welcome, new member!"

Zhang Sanfeng: "Welcome, new member!"

Ying Zheng: "Welcome, new member!"

Yan Chixia: "Welcome, new member!"

Zhang Chulan: "Hello everyone, I'm Zhang Chulan! I hope you'll all take good care of me in the future!"

As a modern college student, Zhang Chulan had read countless novels and accepted the existence of the dimensional chat group without any difficulty!

Ying Zheng: "It seems the new recruits are quite quick to adapt!"

Zhang Chulan: "Hehe, thank you for the compliment, Emperor Qin! I never expected to be in the same chat group as Emperor Qin. How lucky I am!"

Group admin Xiao Shan: "Zhang Chulan, there are future videos related to you in the shared files. You can go and take a look!"

Zhang Chulan: "Okay, group owner, I'll go check it out now!"

Zhang Chulan quickly found the future video related to himself—"Under One Person (Zhang Chulan)"—and then used the one-click playback function!

After watching the video about the future, Zhang Chulan had only one thought in his mind: to quickly improve his strength in order to deal with the series of events that were about to unfold!

After reading the group announcement, Zhang Chulan naturally knew that practicing the techniques shared by group members and then using group points to cultivate in the chat group's training ground was the fastest way to improve his strength.

So Zhang Chulan decisively uploaded his Golden Light Mantra and Five Thunder Orthodox Method to the group's shared files in exchange for points.
