At this time, Jia Dongxu was doing pretty well and didn't even complain of being tired.

The young man also knew how to work hard, which made He Daqing very pleased.

"Master, take a rest for a while. I'll go get you some food. Don't worry, you eat first. I'll practice on my own later."

Only Jia Dongxu felt sorry for his master. As he spoke, he patted He Daqing on the shoulder.

He Daqing felt very warm. He looked at the child with his eyes full of relief and emotion. He nodded and said, "Okay, okay, Dongxu, go ahead!"

It was almost seven o'clock in the evening and there was no food in the cafeteria. In order to get a hot meal for He Daqing, Jia Dongxu went to the factory guesthouse and ordered two dishes, plus a spinach soup and white flour buns.

Of course, this money was given by He Daqing, otherwise he wouldn't have asked Jia Dongxu to cook for him.

Jia Dongxu went out with his lunch box.

Wait until he enters the guesthouse.

At this time, a young man who was slightly younger than him walked towards Jia Dongxu.

When the young man saw Jia Dongxu looking at the menu on the wall, he smiled and said, "Brother, are you here to order food? Someone is treating us today, so the kitchen staff are here."

Jia Dongxu smiled and nodded: "Yeah, do you have anything delicious to offer?"

"My master is waiting to eat, I can't let him down!"

The young man also knew what was going on and took the initiative to speak.

"Roast chicken and stir-fry are the most popular dishes now!"

When Jia Dongxu heard that, he thought it was good, so he ordered some more, enough for them to eat tonight.

After waiting for a while, the guesthouse responded quickly and Jia Dongxu soon packed up the food and went back to the workshop.

At this time, at the Mianhua Hutong Government Guesthouse, Yi Zhonghai was also inviting Deputy Director Wang of the Street Committee to dinner.

As for the purpose, of course it is to be elected as the boss through the back door.

"Director Wang, we are old acquaintances. You should know what kind of person I am, Yi Zhonghai, right? I won't say much. How about this?"

"So you see, this uncle in our courtyard, should I be the one to preside over it?"

Yi Zhonghai held the wine glass and said with a flattering smile.

When Director Wang heard what Yi Zhonghai said, he immediately understood the meaning of his words.

How could the street leaders not know about He Daqing's situation? If He Daqing became the boss in this election, I'm afraid he would have a hard time in Siheyuan. If his mortal enemy took over, he would have to listen to him, which would be too aggrieved.

Moreover, if I can't become the manager, it will probably affect my path to promotion. Therefore, today, not only can I not help him, but I have to prevent him from becoming the manager.

Director Wang pretended to be confused, took a sip of wine and said, "Xiao Yi, you make it sound easy. I can't make any concessions here, but..."

When Yi Zhonghai heard that something was wrong, he quickly poured Director Wang another glass of wine.

"Director Wang, as long as I can become the head of our hospital, I will do whatever you say."

When Director Wang heard this, he knew that Yi Zhongshang was on to something.

"Our subdistrict office has recently encountered trouble. There is an unreasonable old lady. Although she is old, she likes to make trouble. We are in a headache, and our director is also in a headache."

"If you can handle this matter well, we won't have to worry about it in the future!"

"Of course, handle this matter well. Everyone will see your ability, including our director. It won't be a big deal to give you a backdoor when the time comes!"

Director Wang made a solemn promise.

The two clinked their glasses and then drank the wine in their glasses.

Director Wang wiped his mouth with a tissue and said slowly, "You just said that our director cares most about his reputation. So, you must be sincere in this matter!"

Yi Zhonghai said hurriedly: "I am sincere! Just tell me what the old lady's situation is now!"

Director Wang said: "In fact, our director is not afraid of her making trouble, but she is in poor health. If she makes any mistakes, it will be difficult for our director to explain to the people, so you have to handle this matter well."

"Then tell me, how do you want me to deal with it?"

"This old lady is so difficult to deal with. She keeps saying that she has a relationship with the people from Tan Jiacai. She has no evidence at all, but she insists that she is a meritorious person!"

"We thought the old man was mentally ill and wanted to ask where his children were so that we could take the old lady away. But when we asked, we found out that she was childless. When we asked her what kind of job she had, we thought she was a martyr's relative. But the old lady didn't even tell us her name and played dumb when we asked her that."

"Later, when we asked her about Tan's cuisine, she said that Tan's cuisine belonged to her family. After we finally managed to coax a few words out of her, she said that she was just confused. She said that she was not a relative of a martyr, but that she had made straw sandals for the soldiers, and that she was also someone who helped the revolution."

When Yi Zhonghai heard the news, he immediately felt that this matter was not easy. Director Wang continued, "You must handle this matter properly, and you must not alarm the people of Tanjiacai, otherwise this job will be difficult to do. The old lady wants to find her a place to live, free of charge, and take care of her food, drink and retirement."

"Well, thank you Director Wang for your guidance. Don't worry, I will take good care of the old lady!" Yi Zhonghai said confidently.

Director Wang nodded.

Yi Zhonghai picked up the glass again and said, "Director Wang, I'll toast to you."

Director Wang picked up the wine glass with a smile and drank it all.

Yi Zhonghai also drank the wine in one gulp, then put the glass down and continued.

"How old is the old lady now?"

Director Wang said.

"He's an elderly widower, probably in his 60s or 70s. He's a bit old, so that's why we're having a headache. If he gets angry and something happens, our subdistrict office will have to bear the responsibility."

"Moreover, according to the old lady's current conditions, she also meets this condition to apply for a five-guarantee household."

When Yi Zhonghai heard the term "five-guarantee households", his eyes immediately lit up.

These five-guarantee households are stipulated by the state. Every year there are a number of five-guarantee households that can receive state subsidies. Although the subsidy is relatively small, it is still a huge sum of money for poor families.

The five-guarantee households receive a basic subsidy of ten yuan per month, and also receive various gifts and subsidies during festivals.

When Yi Zhonghai heard this, he was happy. This was a good opportunity. If he could trick the old woman into coming over, he would make a fortune. By then, he would be the only one in charge of the entire courtyard.

"Oh, so that's how it is. No wonder Director Wang is so worried."

As Yi Zhonghai spoke, he secretly thought about this matter.

Director Wang continued, "We are in a dilemma right now. This old lady refuses to cooperate, and our subdistrict office can't do anything about her!"

When Yi Zhonghai heard this, an idea suddenly flashed in his mind and a plan came to his mind!

So Yi Zhonghai said to Director Wang: "Director Wang, leave this matter to me. I have a way to cure this old lady. I guarantee that she will listen to you obediently."

After Yi Zhonghai finished speaking, he took out a cigarette from his pocket.

When Director Wang saw Yi Zhonghai holding a cigarette, an expression of surprise appeared on his face.

Yi Zhonghai handed it to Director Wang and said, "Director Wang, I brought some private goods this time! Hehe..."

Director Wang became even happier when he heard what Yi Zhonghai said and reached out to take the cigarette.

Yi Zhonghai put the cigarette between his ears, lit it, took two puffs, and then put his mouth close to Director Wang's ear and said.

"Old lady, don't you just need a guarantor? Are you afraid that she wants to move to the city from the countryside? I'll guarantee her and let her live in our courtyard house. This problem will be solved perfectly, and the old lady can also be approved as a five-guarantee household."
