Although Qin Huairu had earned some money in recent years, she was heavily in debt externally; even after repaying a portion, she was still far from being out of the red.
After learning that Qin Huairu had been imprisoned, even though the three Jia family children had urban household registrations, they could no longer stay in the city.
Facing the crowds of debt collectors, Jia Zhangshi could only take her three children back to the countryside.
But fate did not let the Jia family off so easily.
Not long after Qin Huairu went in, she died of an illness.
It turned out that Qin Huairu had long suffered from a terminal illness.
After going in, with physical labor and no good treatment environment, less than a year later, the Qin Courtyard's female lead, Qin Huairu, passed away.
Ever since Qin Huairu's death, there had been no news of the Jia family, and the fates of Jia Zhangshi and others remained unknown.
But one thing was certain: Qin Huairu and the Jia family left a legend in the area of Nanluoguxiang.
Parents often used the Jia family as an example to educate their children about not learning bad habits, both young and old.
The changes in No. 95 Courtyard were not significant.
Yan Jiekang from the Yan Family and Liu Guangfu from the Liu Family, who had gone to the countryside together, had now returned.
The Yan Family and the Liu Family seemed to have put aside their grievances; now, Yan Bugui still chatted and laughed with Liu Haizhong when he saw him.
However, both of their lives were not easy.
The Yan Family's family motto had long determined the fate of Yan Bugui and his wife.
Yan Bugui calculated and schemed, but in the end, it was all for naught.
The same was true for Liu Haizhong; Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu had left the Liu Family early.
The two brothers had long resented Liu Haizhong and his wife.
A father who is not benevolent and sons who are not filial also became a reflection of the Liu Family!
On this day, Li Huaide sought out Xu Damao.
"Damao, come over tonight, brothers, let's have a drink, we won't go home until we're drunk tonight!"
"Brother Li, what good news have you encountered again?" Xu Damao asked with a smile.
Xu Damao's lack of contention had long made him a confidant of Li Huaide.
"Damao, ah, I might be leaving!" Li Huaide said with a smile, but a hint of melancholy appeared in his eyes.
Xu Damao smiled and said, "Hey, what's the big deal? With Brother Li's ability, he can thrive anywhere he goes!"
The outcome was already set; Li Huaide's era was coming to an end.
Li Huaide happily patted Xu Damao's shoulder and said, "I'll take your auspicious words, brother!"
"Then tonight, we won't go home until we're drunk!" Xu Damao didn't say much more; some things were inconvenient to say in the procurement section.
In the evening, with Li Huaide at the head, the emotions of everyone at the table were actually not very high.
Sha Zhu was also among them; ever since Sha Zhu had gotten involved with Li Huaide, he had been relatively smooth-sailing these past years.
Now, Sha Zhu was already the director of the Steel Rolling Plant's cafeteria.
Sha Zhu was also very sensible, just like Xu Damao, he only managed his own small domain and never participated in any struggles.
"Brother Li, what exactly happened?" Sha Zhu sat down after finishing the last dish.
Li Huaide first drank a glass himself, then pointed upwards and said, "There's been a change upstairs, and I've been affected too.
If you ever need my help in the future, you can't pretend not to know your Brother Li!"
"Look at what you're saying, am I, He Yuzhu, that kind of person?" He Yuzhu immediately denied it.
Due to the butterfly effect brought about by Xu Damao, He Yuzhu did not go to the big leader's house to cook as in the original plot; it could be said that Sha Zhu's greatest opportunity had already disappeared.
Yang Factory Director was also implicated by the Deaf Old Lady and was no longer the director of the Steel Rolling Plant.
It could be said that Sha Zhu's current position was entirely given to him by Li Huaide.
Although he was somewhat dissatisfied with Li Huaide's style, Li Huaide had always been kind to him.
From an outsider's perspective, Sha Zhu was clearly part of Li Huaide's faction, and the same was true for Xu Damao.
Xu Damao also echoed, "Yes, Brother Li, no matter when, we will never forget your care for everyone!"
It must be said that during these ten years of great changes, Xu Damao's Little Japan life was very pleasant, and all of this stemmed from Li Huaide's care!
Without Li Huaide, Xu Damao might still be struggling to screen movies; how could he have such a free and easy life now?
"Good, good, good, I spoke wrongly, I'll punish myself with a drink!" Li Huaide raised his glass and drank it all.
...
A few days later, Li Huaide left the Steel Rolling Plant, and the new factory director was transferred from elsewhere.
Under Li Huaide's ten years of management, the Steel Rolling Plant had long been built into an ironclad fortress by him.
The new factory director's surname was Wang, and the first thing he did upon taking office was to restore production and ensure efficiency.
Over the years, the Steel Rolling Plant's efficiency had not only failed to improve but had declined significantly.
After a series of operations by Director Wang, results quickly appeared.
Immediately, this Director Wang also launched his liquidation campaign.
Almost all the leaders, big and small, within the Steel Rolling Plant were replaced.
Many people were sent to labor reform; it could be said that those who were promoted by Li Huaide were almost all marginalized.
Some people for whom no handle could be found were assigned to the foundry workshop or the loading and unloading team.
The entire Steel Rolling Plant could be said to have been completely revitalized.
Only Xu Damao and Sha Zhu, for some unknown reason, retained their original positions.
In the factory director's office, Director Wang looked at the summary of achievements handed over by Secretary Li, and curiously pointed to the two names on it, asking, "What's the situation with these two people? Are they really that clean?"
Secretary Li smiled and said, "Director, He Yuzhu, nicknamed Sha Zhu, has a Level 3 chef certificate.
He was promoted by Li Huaide based on his cooking skills.
Although he is the director of the cafeteria, he never manages any of the cafeteria's accounts; all the accounts are handled by Li Huaide's trusted associates.
As for Xu Damao in the procurement section, after he took office, he never got involved in external disputes.
He fulfilled his duties every month, neither doing more nor less.
From what I understand, his personality is relatively lazy.
Although he is exceptionally capable, he never vies for power or profit.
Even his position as section chief was forced upon him by Li Huaide..."
Soon, Secretary Li explained the specific situations of Sha Zhu and Xu Damao in full, without any embellishment, all based on facts.
Director Wang frowned slightly, lit a cigarette, took a puff, and sighed, "I never thought there would be such a clear stream in the Steel Rolling Plant!!!"
Through Secretary Li's report, Director Wang's impression of He Yuzhu and Xu Damao improved significantly, especially Xu Damao.
He was capable and didn't cause trouble, which any leader would appreciate!
Just like that, in a situation where everyone was feeling insecure, He Yuzhu and Xu Damao were unaffected.
He Yuzhu remained his cafeteria director, and Xu Damao remained his head of the procurement section.
The change of dynasty at the Steel Rolling Plant had no impact on the two of them, which made everyone who knew them hold them in higher regard.
However, good times don't last; trouble found Xu Damao, who didn't want any trouble.
In the factory director's office, Director Wang was somewhat surprised to see the head of the procurement section, who was in his thirties but looked excessively young.
Time had left no trace on Xu Damao's face!
