Courtyard House: My Wife is Xu Huizhen

She simply assumed the supplies on the tricycle were a gift to her, solving her immediate problem.

Unexpectedly, the list included a jeep, two motorized tricycles, and then pedal tricycles, bicycles, and so on.

"You've given us way too much stuff. Why are you giving us a Jeep?"

"Don't you know? Our machinery factory also has the capacity to produce jeeps. We happen to have one that we tested before, but it can't be sold anymore, so we're giving it to your police station."

He Yuzhu was just saying that; at that time, the machinery factory was the only manufacturer in the country that could produce jeeps.

Even a used car that has been tested and driven several thousand kilometers can still be easily sold.

According to He Yuzhu, these were unsellable experimental products that were usually kept in the factory for his own use, but now He Yuzhu had given them all away.

He Yuzhu had previously thought that once Director Li was transferred to the Jianghanyang district and truly became the director of the street, it would be a simple matter of asking him, the deputy factory director, to change his position.

Since Bai Ling is currently the head of the police station, we'll take out some things and give them to her. This is a mutual assistance between two public institutions, and no one can find fault with it.

If I wait until I step down from my position as deputy factory director, I'll be nothing by then.

Bai Ling was overjoyed. She hadn't received any supplies on the street and was worried about how to carry out her daily work.

He Yuzhu delivered a jeep, a motorized tricycle, and bicycles to meet the police station's transportation needs.

There was also a large amount of cured meat and grain to go with, enough to eat, so that the police officers would have the energy to respond to calls.

Upon hearing He Yuzhu's words, someone opened the gate, and before He Yuzhu could give any instructions, the driver drove the gifted vehicle inside.

He Yuzhu was also invited into the director's office by Bai Ling.

After He Yuzhu came in, he looked around and saw that there was a single door open next to him, which led to a small rest room.

There is a single bed, a wardrobe, a table, chairs, benches, and other miscellaneous items.

The wardrobe was open, revealing a variety of colorful shirts and underwear.

Bai Ling had previously thought that this was her own private room and no one else would come in, so she left it open without closing it.

Unexpectedly, He Yuzhu opened the inner room door, so she quickly took a few steps inside and closed the wardrobe. She said shyly:

"What are you looking at!"

He Yuzhu turned his head and saw that the office door was already closed, so he went into the inner room, hugged Bai Ling, and smiled:

"It looks better when worn."

After he finished speaking, he kissed her on the pretty face.

Bai Ling's body went limp, and she leaned against He Yuzhu's chest before struggling to stand up.

"And this is still in the office!"

He Yuzhu knew this, of course, but unfortunately it was already winter, and he was wearing thick clothes, so he couldn't do anything reckless.

He whispered in Bai Ling's ear, "Wait for me tonight."

Chapter 378 Discovering the Whereabouts of Qing Laosan

Since that crazy night, Bai Ling couldn't recover even after a whole day of rest.

She had only just recovered by now. Upon hearing He Yuzhu's invitation, Bai Ling hesitated for a moment, then nodded with a blush on her face.

The two then parted ways, and Bai Ling poured tea for him, asking:

"I hope there's no problem with you sending so many things. Will it interfere with your work over there?"

The police station only has a dozen or so employees, and He Yuzhu directly delivered several hundred kilograms of grain, so there won't be a food shortage for the next few months.

“Our factory has more than 6000 people now. If each of us has just one bite left, it will be enough for you to eat for a year.”

Bai Ling rolled her eyes at him. Her words were anything but polite, as if she were eating his leftovers.

"How can you talk like that? It's like I'm eating your leftovers."

He Yuzhu quickly said, "How about I eat what you leave behind?"

Bai Ling shouted, "Can't you be serious for once?"

"Okay, okay, I'm serious now."

He Yuzhu asked, "Comrade Bai Ling, what are your plans for the police station's work going forward?"

Bai Ling said with a sigh, "Why didn't you say so earlier? Why didn't you give us a jeep? None of us here know how to drive one."

He Yuzhu said, "This is also very simple. You can just arrange for one of your comrades to learn it for a period of time."

After thinking for a moment, he said, "How about I transfer here to be your driver?"

"Are you kidding me? You're the deputy director of a large factory with 6000 employees."

"What's the use? My rank is section chief, and yours is also section chief. We're on the same level."

“But I’m only in charge of 10 people,” Bai Ling said with a smile.

He Yuzhu said, "I don't know what kind of company I'll be able to work for next year. Maybe I'll end up in some lousy company."

Bai Ling only knew that He Yuzhu and Jiang Hanyang were arm wrestling.

Moreover, He Yuzhu is clearly at a disadvantage.

Although Qiao Yuanhong, the former director of the police station and a major asset to Jiang Hanyang, was transferred, this will not affect Jiang Hanyang's work going forward.

It is obvious that He Yuzhu has no chance of winning at all.

Hearing He Yuzhu's pitiful words, Bai Ling shyly got up and gave He Yuzhu a warm hug.

Even through his clothes, He Yuzhu could feel the warmth of the two large bundles of flesh, and he was reluctant to leave.

Bai Ling quickly noticed something was wrong, and hurriedly let go and sat back down.

He glared at her and said, "Be serious."

He Yuzhu chuckled and said, "If it really doesn't work out, I'll transfer your police station here."

What can you do?

He Yuzhu said, "I can be the director!"

Upon hearing the key words, Bai Ling kicked him and exclaimed, "Why are you getting more and more inappropriate?"

"Then I'll come work as your chef. I'll cook delicious food for you every day and fatten you up so it'll be more comfortable to hold you."

Bai Ling exclaimed, "Are you saying I'm too thin?"

"Yes, it is a little bit uncomfortable when it's pressed on."

Bai Ling clenched her fist in anger and punched him, yelling, "I'll beat you to death, you little rascal! You look down on me and still dare to mess with me?"

He Yuzhu let Bai Ling hit him a few more times, then begged for mercy and pleaded for Bai Ling's forgiveness.

Bai Ling wasn't really angry; knowing he was joking, she let it go.

The two actually grew closer after this incident.

After discussing some current matters, He Yuzhu got up to say goodbye, and Bai Ling saw him off.

The people from the machinery factory had already left; only He Yuzhu's own car remained.

He Yuzhu started the car, sat in the driver's seat, waved, and Bai Ling leaned closer to ask:

"What else?"

"Don't forget tonight."

Bai Ling glared at him before waving her hand.

He Yuzhu walked around for a while, but instead of returning to the machinery factory, he changed to a bicycle and went to Bai Ling's yard.

Bai Ling prepared a meal on time and had just put it on the table when she pushed her bicycle into the yard.

He Yuzhu stepped forward, took the briefcase, and then put his arm around Bai Ling.

"Ugh, let me rest..."

After a series of kisses, Bai Ling and He Yuzhu sat down at the kang table and ate together.

Bai Ling didn't refuse to drink today, of course she drank wine. After half a bottle, Bai Ling asked about the machinery factory.

“Isn’t it because Director Li is being transferred? The new Jiang Hanyang is going to take control of the machinery factory. Of course I don’t want to hand over my hard work to an outsider.”

Although Bai Ling had worked for many years, mainly in the public security system, she didn't know much about these things, so she asked, "Why is Jiang Hanyang in such a hurry?"

"It's like you, who just became the director, immediately asked the neighborhood committee for supplies and support."

“If the entire street only uses the funds allocated by higher authorities, it will be unable to make ends meet.”

Bai Ling could understand this. Just like the work of the police station, the funding from higher-level leaders was only part of the problem; the neighborhood committee also had to help solve part of the funding.

Then, they generate additional revenue through fines to maintain daily operations.

The same applies to the street administration; funding from higher authorities can only be a portion, not all of it.

The neighborhood also had its own system: after the public-private partnership, one-quarter of the profits generated by all the shops were given to the neighborhood.

In addition, the profits generated by some collective enterprises established by the street offices are also controlled by the street offices.

Currently, the only collective enterprise left in Jiaodaokou Subdistrict is the Machinery Factory. Previously, in order to facilitate management, all small enterprises were turned into subsidiaries of the Machinery Factory.
