Chapter 863: Chapter 864: 1960s Quadrangle 112

Zhang Yu looked at the man blocking her way, "Are you looking for me for something?"

Honestly, even though the original owner left some memories, there really aren’t many about Ren Jiahao.

After Zhang Yu arrived, she had no fondness at all for these people, and Ren Jiahao was even more so avoided for talk, to prevent being exploited by others.

It was only in the beginning that Ren Jiahao had blocked her once or twice, but after realizing that Zhang Yu had no intention of dealing with him, he never blocked her again.

Although there was no contact and she wouldn’t deliberately inquire about him, the idle folks in the courtyard were too many.

Since Sha Zhu ended up as a simp, Ren Jiahao became everyone’s new topic of discussion.

Looking at the man in front of her who had aged significantly, it was really impossible to compare him to the proud man who had walked up to her and spoken those words before.

"You’ve aged quite a bit," Zhang Yu couldn’t help saying.

Ren Jiahao thought Zhang Yu would say something else; unexpectedly, such a phrase jumped out, leaving him stunned momentarily.

"Well, I’ll be leaving first then." She couldn’t help it; she was just speaking the blunt truth and didn’t want to take back her words.

"Zhang Yu, well, well..." Ren Jiahao paused, "the talk about Zhang Li never returning, it’s actually Qin Huairu from your courtyard.

"As for my mom and the others, they are also helping to instigate this."

Is this why he came to me? Zhang Yu was shocked, failing to understand how Ren Jiahao, who always listened to his parents, would suddenly say such a thing.

"Really," Ren Jiahao thought Zhang Yu didn’t believe his words, "they even intend to report you."

To report? "Just because Zhang Li hasn’t come back?" Zhang Yu really found it amusing, "Do they think that by reporting me, I will be unlucky?"

"That’s their affair; they have the freedom to report. Zhang Yu spoke indifferently."

"By the way, why would you say that?" Zhang Yu was quite curious, why a mama’s boy would have such a big change.

"The company’s performance isn’t good anymore, and I’m also quite awkward in the company."

"I’ve been in contact with my old college friend, and this time he came to the Capital City to find me, hoping that I could go to the Western Region with him."

"Their factory there needs people," Ren Jiahao said in a low voice.

He was really worried that Zhang Yu would laugh at him, his toes constantly scuffing the ground, "Other people head south to work and make money."

"And me, I am heading to the Western Region." Although his old classmate said it was good, Ren Jiahao knew that if the situation was really that good, why would no one want to go there.

Go to the Western Region? Zhang Yu was quite surprised, but soon stabilized, "That’s quite good, you haven’t made much progress over these years."

"If you went south to work, you might not be able to find a suitable job." It wasn’t that there weren’t any, but with his demeanor, finding a well-paying job would indeed be difficult.

"Western Region is good, go there and work hard, maybe you could even get a promotion."

"I bless you." Zhang Yu generously blessed him, hoping that he would be able to settle down, "If possible, find a suitable wife there."

"Don’t think about finding a wife with specific requirements, you choose them, but they are also choosing you."

"Nowadays, there are many more college graduates than before, especially a college graduate like you, there’s really something flimsy about it."

Zhang Yu heard about Ren Jiahao’s behavior at work; he was always clashing with the leadership. Previously, he was one of the few college graduates in his unit, no matter how dissatisfied, he could only appease everyone.

But now with more college graduates and more competent ones, figures like Ren Jiahao are destined to fall out of step with the times.

"Go out there, look around more, and learn a thing or two."

"No matter the industry, one must always study diligently and continually improve oneself, otherwise, you would be worthless."

Zhang Yu wasn’t being kind-hearted; this message from Ren Jiahao was a reciprocal gesture to him.

"Moreover, after you leave, live your life well." Someone now seems to have understood this; perhaps after a little coaxing from his parents and family, Ren Jiahao might again soften his heart and continue shouldering the burden of providing for his family.

When Zhang Yu returned home, it was of course late, even Zhou Zhitao had already gotten home. "I have my reasons."

Swiftly repeating what Ren Jiahao had told her, "Do you think Qin Huairu is sick? Instead of thinking about how to improve herself and plan her life, she focuses on us."

"And that lunatic from the Ren family."

"But it’s coming soon, once Ren Jiahao leaves... The Ren family’s days..." Ren Jiahao’s younger siblings have already completed major life milestones, yet they’re still not mature mentally.

Whenever something happens, they instinctively turn to Ren Jiahao. When money is needed, of course, they go to Ren Jiahao; and if the parents have issues, it’s still Ren Jiahao.

"Are you really planning on leaving?" Zhou Yi is still skeptical; indeed, this person is far too obedient.

"If he doesn’t leave now, he’ll end up just like the old Sha Zhu."

"He used to mock Sha Zhu frequently, calling him stupid."

"He doesn’t realize that he himself has become a joke in others’ mouths; if he doesn’t leave now, his future days won’t be pleasant." Zhang Yu knew that Ren Jiahao’s current job was even worse than working at the steel mill.

Naturally, what his life will be like after moving to the Western Region is uncertain, but at least it should be better than staying in Capital City, at least there he might see some hope.

"Brother, sister-in-law, let’s not talk about Ren Jiahao’s stuff; about Qin Huairu, what are your plans?"

As for that, Zhang Yu didn’t even have to think, "Do nothing, let her be however she wants."

"Anyway, her good days are almost over." Zhang Yu had heard some news recently.

"What happened?" Zhou Zhitao looked at Zhang Yu, who seemed confident, and was quite curious.

"Didn’t she partner with someone in that steel materials business before and earned quite a bit?"

The Zhou family siblings kept nodding; they obviously knew, "Earned a bit of money, but showing off in the courtyard."

"They did make money, several tens of thousands I guess?" Don’t look at it as just tens of thousands, in this era, people owning tens of thousands is a rare occurrence.

Earned tens of thousands? Even the well-informed Zhou Zhitao was shocked, "They actually made that much?"

"Yes, otherwise what would they be showing off for." Zhang Yu felt that this amount was still within controllable limits.

"But now they are also a bit unhappy, feeling like they are the ones who contributed the most effort."

"Are they going to split up?" Nowadays in business, many people end up dissolving partnerships over uneven profit distribution, which is very common, not to mention both Xu Damao and Liu Haizhong are not good characters.

"If there’s no profitable venture, they would certainly split up, but now they’ve found a way to make a fortune, claiming they have channels for televisions, and can get cheap imported color TVs."

Zhang Yu mentioned this when Xu Damao talked about it, he knew it was their trick to scam people.

"Not bad, he can get cheap imported color TVs?" Zhou Zhitao was amazed, nowadays people who can secure such items are truly rare."

"If they really can secure that, do you think the people in the compound would let it slide?"

"They are all over the place looking for color TVs, what do you think?" Even if they initially didn’t have contact with those people in the compound, as soon as they catch wind of it, they wouldn’t hesitate to act.

Zhou Zhitao was silent, indeed, those people were always looking to make money, how could they miss such a good opportunity.
