Siheyuan: Bringing Warehouses to 1959

After so many years of renovation, the old city area of ​​​​Sijiucheng has been renovated very well.

The dilapidated courtyard was renovated both inside and outside, and many of the alleys, roads, etc. were repaired.

Such a huge project was completed piece by piece by China Resources.

One of the detailed changes is the road signs, which is something that doesn’t cost much but can bring obvious changes to the city, and China Resources also did it.

The road sign that was kicked in front of Director Wang was the sign pointing to Nanluoguxiang.

In addition to this sign, there is also an iron sign at the entrance of Nanluoguxiang, proving that the alley inside is Nanluoguxiang.

Because the sign was made of iron, after the private economy was liberalized in the past two years, the city became a little chaotic, and some people stole copper and iron and sold them at private purchasing stations.

So when Director Wang saw this, he immediately got angry: "What are you doing? You are rebelling. You are stealing road signs in broad daylight. You are lawless. Put it down quickly...

"Hey, hey, hey, I'm talking to you guys. I haven't finished talking yet, and you dare to put your name tag on me..."

Director Wang saw that these people were in a hurry and ignored his words, so he immediately got angry and walked forward with two staff members.

Those people kicked the road sign, removed the iron plate at the entrance of the alley, and rushed into the alley with these things.

And running!

"You still dare to run?" Director Wang was furious. "Catch him. Xiao Zhou, go and call for help. Go to the alley and call for help."

The three of them are all female comrades, and Director Wang is worried that he won't be able to defeat those guys if he catches up with them.

Xiao Zhou ran quickly and arrived at the door of the grocery store.

In this weather, there are only people in front of the grocery store early in the morning and late in the evening. In the evening, there are people because there is a greenhouse and old men and women like to gather together to have fun. In the morning, there are fewer people because some old men like to come early in the morning to buy a small bottle of two-liang wine and have a sip.

When Xiao Zhou arrived, Uncle Li and his friends who had made money had only finished half of their morning drink.

"Uncle Li, uncles, hurry up..." Xiao Zhou is an old man from the street office, and he knows all the uncles who are drinking. "Someone stole something, our Director Wang caught them, and they ran away..."

"What?" Uncle Li exploded, slammed the table and stood up and shouted, "Is there anyone who dares to steal things in Nanluoguxiang? Where is he? Take us to him."

"This way, quick!"

"Let's go!"

A few elderly men stopped drinking and followed Xiao Zhou angrily. However, they couldn't even outrun Xiao Zhou, so how could they possibly outrun those young men?

After running for a while, Uncle Li and his gang reunited with Director Wang and continued chasing along the alley.

"Director Wang...what did they steal?" Uncle Li ran out of breath.

"Road signs!" Director Wang was also upset. He had spent the whole morning exercising. "They stole the road signs in Nanluoguxiang. Judging from their appearance, they might be planning to steal other road signs."

Nanluoguxiang is an alley with South Street on one end and other ends connecting with other alleys to Di'anmen and Shichahai. In the north-south direction, one end leads to East Street and there is also Gulou Street.

So, there is more than one road sign.

Director Wang was right. They and the old men caught up with the guys who stole the road signs at another intersection.

Click!

Those guys kicked the road sign violently a few times.

"Oh my god... it's really lawless!" Uncle Li was so angry that he rushed over with a few old men and grabbed a young man. "You are so young and you don't learn your lesson. You stole the road sign... Come on, follow us to the police station."

"Uncle... What do you mean by stealing road signs?" The man who was caught struggled but failed to break free, and said anxiously, "Please let me go, we are not stealing road signs... I am so anxious, this is our job, we need to replace the road signs."

"You're talking nonsense!" Director Wang chased after him and said, "How come our subdistrict office didn't know about the change of road signs? We are the first to be notified of such things. Besides, how long has this road sign been used? Why change it?"

"Oh...really!" the man said anxiously, "We don't know the reason, but the order we received is that all the road signs in the Nanluoguxiang area must be removed. Write it down and wait for comrades to come and install new road signs... This is my work ID, we are..."

Director Wang took a look at the man’s work ID and found that he was indeed an official staff member with a regular job.

"No, that makes me even more confused..." Director Wang wondered, "Why do they need to change the road signs? And we haven't been notified yet. According to previous practices, our street office should know and cooperate."

"I don't know about that!" the man said, "The order we received is for this range..." He took out a map and pointed at the two ends of Nanluoguxiang marked on it. To be precise, it was centered on No. 95 Courtyard and covered a large area outward. "Look, in these places, all the road signs marked with Nanluoguxiang have been removed. We were ordered to complete it in the morning, and someone will come to install new road signs in the afternoon. It seems that... Nanluoguxiang is no longer called Nanluoguxiang..."

"What the hell? Nanluoguxiang is no longer called Nanluoguxiang?" Uncle Li stared and said in a loud voice, "I have lived here for most of my life, and this place has always been called Nanluoguxiang. Why do you want to change it just like that? What name do you want to change it to?"

"Fortune Lane!"

"The God of Wealth..."

The name is good, but... looking at your picture, Beiluoguxiang hasn't changed, isn't that weird?

When Director Wang asked again, the young man didn't know.

He has a work permit and does a serious job, so Director Wang has no reason to stop him.

In order to find out what had happened, Director Wang decided to go back to the street office and call the young men's units to ask.

Uncle Li and several old men wanted to know why the place where they had lived for most of their lives suddenly changed its name, so they followed him to the street office.

As a result, Director Wang’s call was not made, but a call with orders from his superiors came in.

"Hello, I'm... OK, OK, I'll write it down. You said..." Director Wang received a call from the district's top leader and took out his work manual to record it. "Cooperate with relevant departments to replace the road signs. Go out to the grassroots immediately to notify and call on everyone to watch the 7 o'clock news tonight... Call on everyone to learn from the patriotic businessman Comrade Zeng Wangcai..."

After recording everything, Director Wang was sweating.

After hanging up the phone, Director Wang sorted out his thoughts and said to Uncle Li: "Uncle Li, it's just right that you are here..."

"No, Director Wang, please wait a moment!" Uncle Li asked excitedly, "From what you said on the phone just now, it seems like Wangcai has something to do with this. Does changing the road sign have anything to do with Wangcai?"

"It's very important. I changed it for him. I'm busy now and don't have time to explain. Please do me a favor and call all the uncles in your area. Let's have a meeting at the door of the grocery store at 11 o'clock in the morning..."
