However, unexpectedly, he was captured while with Du Weixiang, which resulted in the jade pendant still being buried in the ground.
Although he hadn't figured out anything about it yet, the extraordinary nature of the jade pendant made him unwilling to hand it over to He Yuzhu, even at the cost of his life.
Hearing that He Yuzhu wanted to go to Hong Kong, I was indeed very surprised, but I quickly recovered and my expression softened a lot.
"Sure, go ahead and withdraw the money, it's already your spoils."
He Yuzhu had already received the passbook, but he wasn't short of money, and besides, the money was in a bank in Hong Kong, so he wouldn't make a trip just for a few tens of thousands of US dollars.
Aren't you worried that I'll find the jade pendant?
"Don't listen to her nonsense about the jade pendant; it's completely fabricated."
“I already know where you were staying. I’ll search for you even if I have to dig three feet into the ground. You can still confess now, but if I find out you’ve lied to me, don’t blame me for being ruthless and not giving Du Weixiang any face.”
He Yuzhu's words caused Du Guanghe's expression to change drastically.
I bought that small courtyard on a whim, without thinking much about it at the time, and buried the jade pendant under the floor tiles of the room.
If you really dig three feet into the ground, you can definitely find the jade tablet.
What's infuriating is that He Yuzhu had already obtained the address of the courtyard.
If he actually finds out, all my efforts to hide it will have been for nothing.
For He Yuzhu now, the jade plaque is still somewhat beyond his reach.
It doesn't matter whether you find out sooner or later.
After all, it's impossible to go to Hong Kong immediately tomorrow; we need to make proper arrangements here before heading south.
“I said I didn’t have a jade pendant. Even if I did, even if it was mutton fat jade, it wouldn’t be worth much. There’s no need for me to hide it like this.”
"That's why I'm curious about what secret that jade pendant holds that you're so desperate to keep quiet about."
Why don't you believe me?
"I'm here today to inform you and give you one last chance. In a month or two at most, I'll head south. If I find a real jade pendant then, I'll give it to you, no matter how much it's worth."
He Yuzhu said viciously, "I'm going to kill your entire Du family."
"you..."
"You should think it through in these two months, or it will be too late."
Chapter 408 I've Come to Invite You Back
After talking with Du Guanghe, He Yuzhu returned to the Western-style building.
Lü Xiaomi became pregnant in the autumn of 59, and then gave birth to a big, healthy boy last year.
After a long period of recuperation, she has already regained her figure.
She still looks like the same young girl, only now she has a bit more charm.
"Did you come to see me, or to see the old man?"
He Yuzhu walked up to her, kissed her, and then picked up Lü Xiaomi and carried her into the bedroom.
"Of course I came to see you! I also hope you'll have a few more babies for me!"
"Having one child isn't enough; they want to play for another two years."
In order to keep He Yuzhu's heart, she gave birth to a son last year.
Lü Xiaomi felt she had completed her task, after all, she was not yet 20 years old and still had the mindset of a child.
"Okay, then let's have another child a few years later."
Exhausted, Lü Xiaomi fell into a deep sleep. He Yuzhu was very satisfied and then quietly left the small villa.
When I drove the jeep back to Qianmen Hutong, it was already dark. I saw a person standing guard at the corner of the wall outside the courtyard.
When Tian Yu saw He Yuzhu driving his jeep down, he was overjoyed. He had waited all day and finally got to see He Yuzhu.
With some surprise, he said, "Master He, you're finally back."
This time, the title was changed; it was no longer Section Chief He, and the previous condescending tone was gone.
Instead, it was replaced by the respected Master He.
Tian Yu had no choice but to back down; otherwise, the vehicle factory would face serious problems.
"Oh, it's you. I'm quitting, what are you doing at my house?"
After saying this, he locked the car door and started walking home.
"Master He, don't go! I've come to invite you back."
As he said this, Tian Yu grabbed He Yuzhu's arm, preventing him from going inside.
He Yuzhu raised his other hand and pushed Tian Yu's two hands away, saying:
"I'm sorry, I'm not going back to the vehicle factory."
It's a joke. I already said I was quitting, and Tian Yu just came to my door. Do you think I'd just obediently go back with him? That's impossible.
If I had been at the factory in the morning, and Tian Yu hadn't interfered and had promised me an office, things would have been fine.
But now that both sides have broken off all pretense, how could they possibly agree to go back like this?
"Master He, let me explain. The office is ready."
"I'm quitting, so why are you still preparing an office?"
Upon hearing the sound of the jeep, Zhao Yuezhen came over and opened the door. After He Yuzhu came in, he gave the door a push and then closed it.
Tian Yu was turned away, sighed, shook his head, and turned to leave.
He Yuzhu's reluctance to return was something he hadn't expected.
He was a division-level cadre, far superior to He Yuzhu.
But He Yuzhu's disrespect left him with no choice.
It seems we have no choice but to take the last step.
I had considered this before, but I thought He Yuzhu wouldn't be so inconsiderate.
After all, his personnel file is still with the vehicle factory.
Moreover, getting the Jeep into production smoothly is one of the most important things for the ministry.
These are not just ordinary vehicles, but military vehicles, and even the military is paying close attention to this matter.
For example, in other provinces and cities, the rural areas surrounding Beijing are almost all dirt roads.
The military urgently needed a jeep capable of off-road driving.
Currently, this is the only place in the entire country where Jeeps can be produced; it's the only manufacturer.
He Yuzhu is the key figure in the vehicle factory; it's impossible for them to be without him.
We can't just let him leave now and then come back to him when there are problems with the production line. Wouldn't He Yuzhu be even more arrogant then?
When He Yuzhu returned home, his children all ran over and surrounded him, wanting to be hugged.
He held them in his arms one by one, teased them for a bit, and then handed them over to their mother.
In the end, she kept only her youngest daughter in her arms.
Xu Huizhen asked, "Are you just going to leave him out like this? After all, he is the director of the factory office."
“He used his position at the factory to intimidate me before. This time, I’ll teach him a lesson and let him know who’s really begging whom for this vehicle.”
If it weren't for the sake of the higher-ups, He Yuzhu would have quit long ago.
After all, this is the 1960s, not the 1980s or 1990s, so being a step earlier or later makes no difference.
Moreover, establishing their own vehicle factory was already many years ahead of schedule.
He could give face to the big boss, but he didn't need to give face to Tian Yu and the others.
They were leaders, but He Yuzhu had enough confidence to disregard them.
Respect them; they are the true leaders.
When you ignore them, they're just ordinary passersby.
He Yuzhu has money and food in his hands, so even if he doesn't work, he can still live a very carefree and comfortable life.
He already has enough women around him; he just needs to let them get pregnant in turn so they can carry on his family line.
"Yes, we know you're capable, but if you go back to the vehicle factory like this, won't they still be able to control you?"
"I promised the big boss that the vehicle factory could maintain stable production, but I didn't agree to his request and have been working on the vehicles ever since."
"So what do we do now?"
"Don't worry, Tian Yu isn't stupid. He'll definitely find other people to persuade me to go back."
While focusing on the present, I also need to go back to work to ensure the smooth operation of the vehicle factory.
Secretary Wang is the deputy factory director in charge of production, so He Yuzhu certainly wouldn't undermine him.
Tian Yu waited all day without success, and immediately called the factory manager upon returning home.
