Chu Yu listened to Liu Mingchuan's words with one ear and let them go with the other. This man rejected computers without considering that computers could save a lot of time. Not only is it easy to lose data when you rely on pen and paper, but it also wastes a lot of time to organize and calculate it.
A computer can organize everything in a single spreadsheet, allowing the saved time to be used for research and development – that's what a new type of laboratory should be like.
"The more unhappy you are, the more I'll do this," Chu Yu said with a smile.
Liu Mingchuan almost dropped something, and Da Lei quickly came over and laughed:
“Ms. Zhou, you are right. Many advanced laboratories abroad have already been computerized. Computers are the future trend. We don’t have this capability in China. If we did, it would be a great blessing for us researchers.”
Da Lei was a sensible man. Computerization was a trend. Although computers in this era were not as flexible or capable of doing as those in later generations, they could still be used to create basic spreadsheets.
Computers can connect to many modern devices, bringing benefits.
In this era, efficiency determines everything.
Chu Yu was busy for a whole month. As August arrived, the weather became increasingly hot. Yorkham expanded the store, and the original four air conditioners were not enough. It was especially hot at noon, and even the installation of ceiling fans did not help.
Chu Yu added several air conditioners to Yorkham's appliances. Donglin Electric Appliances knew she was the one who purchased them, so they immediately sent workers to install them, ensuring that business wasn't disrupted for even a day.
The broadcast of "The Businesswoman" is nearing its end, and as the finale approaches, the ratings are getting higher and higher. The person in charge at CCTV told Hua Lai that they hope the finale can reach a 90% rating. If it really can, the ratings of this drama will be comparable to CCTV's blockbuster historical dramas, and it will definitely leave a mark on Chinese history.
Chu Yu specifically instructed Xiao Zhong to book a restaurant after the finale, so that all the employees of Hua Lai could attend, which would also serve as a celebration banquet for the creators.
"Mr. Zhou, which restaurant would you like to book?"
"Of course, it has to be the highest-end. Don't be afraid to spend money. Make sure to give our main creators some respect and let them know that the company values them."
"Understood, I'll take care of it right away."
Grandpa Luo and Great-Grandma Luo came looking for Shu Hui early in the morning, but Shu Hui wasn't home. Chu Yu poured them a glass of water and told them to wait a little longer.
"But Grandma Great-in-law, Grandpa Luo, what do you want to see my mom about? You're being so secretive, you won't even tell me."
Grandma was a little embarrassed. "It's not that I don't want to tell you, it's just that I don't know how to bring it up."
"Why don't you tell me?"
"Hey, it's nothing serious. Your mom has been divorced for several years, right? I asked her what she thought before. She said she wanted to raise all three of you sisters before thinking about marriage, and that she was fine living alone even if she didn't get married."
Grandma Zeng sighed. Life is tough for single women. Putting everything else aside, just take Cao Gang's situation. If Shu Hui had a man around, Cao Gang wouldn't dare to act so recklessly.
“I just wanted to introduce your mother to someone. I hadn’t originally thought of this, but there’s a guy at your Uncle Luo’s workplace who lost his wife a few years ago. He’s a good man. His wife was bedridden for nearly 10 years, and he took care of her all by himself. He spent a lot of money on her, and she was always clean and never had a bedsore until she died. You can tell he was very devoted to her.”
Grandma Zeng sighed, "He's a good person, has a good reputation at work, is two years older than your mother, and comes from a well-off family. His parents are both retired cadres, and their workplace provided them with an apartment. He has a daughter who is already working, so he doesn't have any burdens. I was thinking that as people get older, they want to find a companion to keep each other company. If someone has a headache or fever and needs to go to the hospital, there will be someone to accompany them. No matter how good your children are, they can't replace a spouse."
Chu Yu, however, did not object.
Naturally, given her family's circumstances, Shu Hui would be much happier living alone, but these days society isn't very tolerant of single women.
Grandma Zeng is right. Shu Hui is not her, and Chu Yu cannot make decisions for Shu Hui.
Shu Hui returned carrying a net bag full of vegetables. She was delighted to see her great-grandmother and grandfather Luo. When she learned that the two wanted to introduce her to a potential partner, Shu Hui blushed with embarrassment in front of her daughter.
"Aunt Zeng, really, I've told you before, I don't want to find a partner."
“I know you didn’t mean it that way, but I just happen to have a suitable candidate on hand. I’m afraid I might not find another opportunity like this. Once your daughter is married, how can you find a decent old man in his fifties or sixties? I know those old men; they’re either looking for a free caregiver or a free bed partner. Before their wives have even passed away, they’ve already found someone for them. They don’t want to compromise for even a day. The one I’m introducing to you is a good person. He took care of his wife for over ten years. After she died, he always refused any introductions to other men. That shows he’s a trustworthy person.”
After hearing what Grandma Zeng said, Chu Yu felt that this man was quite good.
Although his income is not as high as Shu Hui's, he comes from a cadre family and is a local. His children have no burdens, which is much better than those old men who find a partner before the seventh day after their death.
"Mom, what do you think?"
Shu Hui waved her hands repeatedly, "I can't, I don't want to. I've said it before, I'll never get married in this life, I'll just stay with you three sisters."
Grandma Zeng was in a dilemma: "But I've already made arrangements with him. Over the years, many people have introduced him to potential partners, but he hasn't agreed to any of them. I told him about your situation, and when he heard that you were kicked out of your home by a man with three daughters, he felt very sorry for you and agreed to meet you."
Shu Hui didn't want to put her great-grandmother in a difficult position, but she really didn't mean it that way. She was busy in Yorkham every day, with a group of colleagues accompanying her, and her daughter was so sensible and obedient, so she really didn't need to find a man.
