Courtyard House: My Wife is Xu Huizhen

He claimed that he was already married and had children, and that he was surrounded by several women.

"But isn't it a monogamous system over there? How can this be?"

Huang Zhiru asked with a puzzled look.

"Oh, as long as they don't officially go through the marriage registration process, it's not a big deal!" Du Weifang replied.

It turns out that the phenomenon of men keeping mistresses also exists in Hong Kong. Often, it's because the wife is too domineering, and as long as the man doesn't get a marriage certificate, he can keep his mistress outside without any problems. This situation is quite common.

Huang Zhiru only realized at this moment that He Yuzhu was already married.

As intelligent as she was, she instantly saw through Du Weixiang's true intentions in coming here—she was clearly here to give her a wake-up call!

She was probably worried that because she was close to He Yuzhu, she would have all the advantages of being close to him and might end up having some unclear relationship with him, eventually becoming his concubine.

Although she has not been in a relationship yet, in order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, she vaguely revealed that she is actually in a relationship and that her relationship with her boyfriend is quite good.

Upon hearing Huang Zhiru's words, Du Weixiang finally felt relieved and thought to herself: It seems that I was indeed overthinking things.

Then, the two chatted about company matters. Huang Zhiru unexpectedly learned that He Yuzhu not only owned a machinery factory, but also two office buildings in the Sheung Wan area!

In addition, He Yuzhu also spent a huge sum of money to build a total of seven magnificent industrial buildings!

Moreover, he is about to face a huge loan of 1500 million, which will be invested without reservation in the great cause of building more industrial buildings.

At this rate of development, in just two short years, He Yuzhu will own two luxury office buildings and as many as twenty large-scale industrial buildings.

However, just as everyone was excited about this, Huang Zhirou suddenly frowned deeply, her slender, willow-leaf-like brows furrowing, and said with concern:

“I just carefully reviewed the company’s relevant information and found that our company doesn’t even have a single professional who is proficient in the construction field! You know, for large-scale engineering projects like this, the company needs at least a few truly knowledgeable people to oversee things. We can’t just dump everything on other companies to handle, can we?”

Following that, Huang Zhirou pointed out several key issues, which He Yuzhu and Du Weifang had never considered before.

Upon hearing this, Du Weifang fell into deep thought.

She carefully considered every word Huang Zhirou said, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that it made perfect sense.

As a result, her opinion of Huang Zhirou underwent a complete change, and she no longer dared to regard her merely as a pretty face.

At this moment, Du Weifang couldn't help but sincerely exclaim, "It seems that the decision to invite Huang Zhiru to join our team was absolutely the right one!"

After thoroughly studying the company's information, Huang Zhiru tirelessly went to various project sites to conduct in-depth and meticulous on-site investigations.

Several days later, she finally arrived before He Yuzhu with a weighty report and solemnly said:

"After several days of tireless travel and observation, and after analyzing various aspects, our company urgently needs sweeping reforms and improvements in the following six crucial areas..."

"So many problems exist in so many aspects?"

Upon hearing this conclusion, the other party asked in astonishment,

"That's correct. By the way, do you have any relevant management experience before?"

At this moment, He Yuzhu nodded slightly, indicating his affirmation: "Yes, I once managed a large machinery factory with 6000 employees in Beijing."

However, he was actually a little nervous when he said those words.

At that time, his main job was to handle technical matters, and he was rarely involved in daily management.

In addition, the environment here is completely different from that in the capital. He Yuzhu is now groping his way forward, as if he is crossing a river by feeling for stones.

Just then, Huang Zhirou said softly:

"In my opinion, some of the existing rules and regulations in our factory seem to be out of step with the actual situation in Hong Kong."

Actually, the reason why He Yuzhu recruited Huang Zhirou into the company and specially arranged for her to be by his side was simply because he thought she was quite pretty.

But to his utter surprise, he had stumbled upon a treasure. Huang Zhirou was indeed very capable; in just a few days, she had successfully identified a total of six major issues.

Although Huang Zhirou did not understand He Yuzhu's true thoughts, she had to admit that the six issues she pointed out were indeed key points that he had not given enough attention to.

Whether from the perspectives of standardized management, talent recruitment, strict control of product quality, or further improvement of sales channels, these issues are all of paramount importance that urgently need to be addressed.

Problems, more or less, have been exposed at every level and in every aspect of the company.

Huang Zhirou engaged in a detailed and in-depth discussion with He Yuzhu from beginning to end.

To highlight He Yuzhu's important position and role in this discussion, he also actively expressed his personal opinions on certain minor points and made corresponding adjustments based on them. After repeated deliberation and revision, he finally successfully formulated a comprehensive plan for strengthening the company's management.

"From now on, the company will be under your full control. You must strictly follow this plan to steadily advance all matters."

Faced with such an important task, Huang Zhirou replied without hesitation, "Okay, please rest assured, boss, I will do my best to fulfill my mission! Thank you for your trust and support."

Huang Zhirou never expected that He Yuzhu would have such great courage, so decisively delegating power to him so early on, allowing him to freely display his abilities.

At first, she thought that He Yuzhu would only accept one or two of the six major problems she pointed out and start to improve them.

However, the truth is that He Yuzhu took all the questions she raised very seriously and accepted them all. This unreserved support made her very happy.

Looking back on my past experiences, if I had joined another company, I probably wouldn't have even been able to reach the position of head of a small project.

Now, under He Yuzhu's command, he has transformed into a core manager who is second only to one person and above thousands of others.

At this moment, Huang Zhirou deeply felt that her decision to join He Yuzhu's company was an extremely wise one.

"Boss, you can rest assured!"

He Yuzhu gazed firmly at Huang Zhirou before him, then slowly extended his large and powerful hand, as if this hand carried his boundless confidence and determination for the future.

At the same time, Huang Zhirou, who was standing to the side, hesitated for a moment, but quickly raised her slender, delicate hands, as white as jade, and gently placed them on He Yuzhu's thick palm.

At this moment, two hands came together, a large hand tightly enveloping a small hand, creating a picture full of strength and trust.

He Yuzhu's expression was solemn and serious. He spoke in a deep and resonant voice:

"Comrade Huang Zhirou, our company will have to rely on you from now on!"

At first, when Huang Zhirou saw the two of them acting like this, she couldn't help but wonder if He Yuzhu was trying to take advantage of her.

However, after hearing what He Yuzhu said next, he was immediately filled with an indescribable feeling of emotion.

Huang Zhirou nodded slightly and replied in a sweet voice, "Boss, please rest assured, I will do my best to ensure the mission is completed successfully!"

At this moment, her face radiated a confident and determined smile.

In fact, He Yuzhu knew exactly what was going on.

Although Huang Zhirou was a novice with no practical work experience, she was, after all, a proper professional with a solid academic background. In terms of professional knowledge and theoretical level, she was much better than me, a self-taught amateur who had accumulated experience through trial and error!

Furthermore, the machinery factory they are currently in is not very large, with only about 1,200 employees in total.

This is a good opportunity to do some serious experimentation, test the waters, and see what the actual situation is like.

In case any unexpected situations or problems arise along the way, we can take quick measures to deal with them and call a stop loss in time!

In short, they have plenty of time to do as they please and try things out.

It was precisely because of He Yuzhu's unwavering support and encouragement that Huang Zhirou was able to put aside all her concerns and boldly unleash her talents and ambitions.

He Yuzhu's operations were fully underway. The foundations for those industrial buildings had only just begun to be dug, but the subsequent construction work was not neglected at all, and all of it was handed over to professional third-party organizations for strict supervision.

According to Huang Zhirou's carefully crafted plan, in just a few days, she also intends to personally lead the formation of her own regulatory team.

Looking at the machine factory, although there were many people there, most of them were just ordinary workers.

Fortunately, managing these workers is not an overly difficult problem. Huang Zhirou is currently working to further improve other functional departments and strengthen overall management.

It is worth mentioning that He Yuzhu had already led his apprentices to write a detailed process specification for lathe parts processing.

As long as everyone follows the steps clearly required in this specification meticulously, then successfully producing a qualified lathe will no longer be an unattainable dream!

Of course, although these apprentices' technical level was not very high, He Yuzhu cleverly adopted a "forced growth" teaching method—only teaching them the production techniques of a few specific parts.

If it were other types of parts, their current capabilities would probably be insufficient. Moreover, due to the lack of He Yuzhu's on-site supervision and guidance, the scrap rate in the initial stage was indeed slightly higher.

Fortunately, the scrap rate was still within an acceptable and reasonable range. This finally allowed He Yuzhu to extricate himself from the tedious work of parts production.

Chapter 459 Inviting so many people to come and see must mean something important is happening.

Only two days had passed, and He Yuzhu and Huang Zhirou were sitting around the desk, discussing their next action plan with great concentration.

Just as they were having a heated discussion, there was a soft knock on the door.

Immediately afterwards, the tightly closed office door slowly opened, and a beautiful figure darted in—it was Liao Lieying who had come to visit.

The moment Liao Lieying stepped into the office, her gaze was involuntarily drawn to the scene inside.

Especially when she caught sight of the beautiful and elegant young woman sitting at the desk, a look of surprise appeared on her face.

"Sakura's here! Please take a seat."

Upon seeing the guests arrive, He Yuzhu hurriedly stood up to greet them and warmly welcomed them.

However, since she was currently in her boss's office and her boss was discussing important matters with someone, Huang Zhirou hesitated for a moment before saying:

"Boss, since you have guests here, I'll go out and attend to other matters."

After receiving He Yuzhu's nod of approval, Huang Zhirou smiled and nodded slightly to Liao Lieying in greeting, then turned and left with light steps.

A short while later, she returned with two steaming cups of tea, gently placed them on the table, and then quietly left the room.

It is important to know that many people live on the land of Hong Kong today, a large portion of whom are first-generation immigrants.

Influenced by traditional culture and lifestyle, these people have not yet fully developed a fondness for drinking coffee.

As for He Yuzhu himself, he is not very interested in coffee either. In comparison, he always believes that traditional tea is more fragrant and delicious.
