Siheyuan: Smiling at the Birds

Li Tianyou listened to the sounds of people getting up in the courtyard, and shouted in his heart: "System sign-in today."

[Ding~ Congratulations to the host for obtaining a watch ticket. 】

Looking at today's sign-in, Li Tianyou was very happy in his heart. He was finally about to complete the three turns and one ring.

Not knowing the time all day long made Li Tianyou feel very awkward, especially when he thought about meeting Ding Qiunan today, Li Tianyou also curled up the corners of his mouth. Li Tianyou was still very curious about Ding Qiunan, and for the few characters that made Li Tianyou curious, Li Tianyou was also full of expectations for today's meeting.

After using the toilet in his personal space, Li Tianyou put on his clothes and came to the central courtyard with his toiletries.

Right here at the pool, other people in the courtyard greeted Li Tianyou warmly when they saw him. Especially after what happened yesterday, people in the courtyard became even more enthusiastic about Li Tianyou, not for anything else, but because of Li Tianyou's personal ability.

Who doesn’t want to make friends with someone who is capable and has a good background?

Of course, Yi Zhonghai was the exception. When Yi Zhonghai saw Li Tianyou, he asked directly, "Chief Li, you see, the Jia family's Bang Geng has also been locked up for a night. Let Xu Damao go with us to get him today."

Upon hearing this, Li Tianyou squeezed toothpaste on his toothbrush and said with a smile: "Uncle, didn't I tell you about this yesterday? After the Jia family pays the money, let Xu Damao go with you to the police station to pick up the person." After Li Tianyou finished speaking, he started brushing his teeth.

Seeing the calm Li Tianyou, Yi Zhonghai also smiled and said, "Chief Li, what do you think of Jia Zhang?"

Li Tianyou brushed his teeth and said incoherently: "Jia Zhang, didn't Director Wang from the Street Office say that? Why are you asking me?"

Yi Zhonghai cursed in his heart, but he still smiled and said, "Chief Li, Jia Zhang is not a good person, but she is old after all, and has basically cut off contact with her family in the countryside. If you let her go back to the countryside now, it will basically be a death sentence for her. Can you ask Chief Li to go to the street office and ask Director Wang to let Jia Zhang return to the courtyard?"

Li Tianyou rinsed his mouth and spit out the water, looking at Yi Zhonghai with a smile and said, "Uncle, do you mean to let Jia Zhang come back and continue scolding me? Uncle, do you think I am the kind of person who is cheap? Do I like to be scolded for no reason? To be cursed?"

Yi Zhonghai laughed and said, "Chief Li, that's not what I meant."

Li Tianyou said, "Oh, didn't you say that you wanted Jia Zhang to return to the Siheyuan? Why don't you mean that now?"

Yi Zhonghai said, "No, Chief Li, you misunderstood me. What I meant was that I would make it clear to Jia Zhang and ask her to never scold you again."

Li Tianyou laughed at Yi Zhonghai's laughter and thought to himself, you simply treat me as a moron. Do you believe what you say?

Li Tianyou said: "Uncle, do you believe what you said? Is there anything else? If not, I have to go to work." After that, Li Tianyou left with the basin.

Yi Zhonghai looked unhappy. He felt that he had been very humble and smiling, but Li Tianyou still didn't give him face.

Li Tianyou also shook his head in his heart. He didn't want to give anything, but wanted to take the person back with just a few words. He was just dreaming.

Li Tianyou put all the valuable things in the house into the system space, and then pushed his bicycle out to work.

After Li Tianyou rode his bicycle to the steel rolling mill, he went directly to Director Yang's office.

Knock on the door and enter.

Director Yang smiled and said, "Tianyou, why did you come to see me so early today?"

Li Tianyou said with a smile: "Director Yang, I have some small matters to report to you."

Director Yang smiled and said, "Tianyou, don't be polite when you come to me. If you have anything to say, sit down and talk."

After Li Tianyou sat down, he told Director Yang exactly what happened in the courtyard yesterday. Director Yang also frowned as he listened, thinking that He Yuzhu really knew how to pick the right time. He shouldn't have listened to the old lady and arranged for Shazhu to work in the kitchen.

At that time, the deaf old lady was promised to let Sha Zhu come to the kitchen of the steel mill, firstly to repay the old lady's favor, and secondly, it was not a big deal for Director Yang, so he agreed. However, as more and more things were promised to the deaf old lady, the people introduced by the deaf old lady became more and more excessive.

It would have been fine if He Yuzhu had stolen things from the factory, and no one knew about it, but he was discovered by Li Tianyou who was bringing back the supplies. Moreover, I had just made a promise to Secretary Yin, so this caused a problem. How could I explain it?

Director Yang said, "Tianyou, we will punish him in the way you say. I will not show partiality."

Li Tianyou shook his head and said, "Director Yang, don't you think this is your chance to repay the deaf old lady's favor? How many more things do you plan to let the deaf old lady ask you to do for her?"

Upon hearing this, Director Yang frowned and said, "Tianyou, how did you know?"

For Director Yang, Li Tianyou should not know these things.

Li Tianyou smiled and said, "Director Yang, I asked the security department to go to our hospital yesterday. The deaf old lady came forward. Considering your situation with the deaf old lady, I did not ask the security department to bring Sha Zhu back to the factory security department. I am also very curious about what the deaf old lady did to help you back then? Why did you keep repaying her favor, and you still haven't paid it back yet."

Upon hearing this, Director Yang also laughed helplessly and said, "Tianyou, the world was in turmoil at that time, and I was robbed and injured and unconscious. It was the deaf old lady who found me, notified people, and sent me to the hospital."

Li Tianyou smiled and said, "It's a life-saving favor, which is indeed a great favor, but you can't let her control you, Director Yang, for the rest of your life."

Director Yang smiled bitterly and said, "I have helped her a lot over the years. I have taken special care of He Yuzhu from his apprenticeship in the kitchen to his current master. Otherwise, where would Shazhu, an orphan (He Daqing ran away), who is impulsive and irritable, and has a particularly bad mouth, find a master to teach him how to cook? Then there is Yi Zhonghai, who was promoted to level eight fitter so quickly. Yi Zhonghai also asked me privately to help Qin Huairu transfer to a workshop to follow him. I have helped them a lot, big and small."

Li Tianyou said, "Didn't Qin Huairu take over the job of her husband Jia Dongxu?"

Director Yang sighed and said, "She is taking over Jia Dongxu's job, but that doesn't mean she has to go to the first workshop to learn locksmithing. A female comrade has lost her husband and has a baby. The factory originally planned to take special care of her and arrange an easier job for her. But Yi Zhonghai said that Qin Huairu's mother-in-law was afraid that Qin Huairu would not be faithful to her husband, so she insisted that Qin Huairu go to the first workshop to learn locksmithing."

Li Tianyou understood why Qin Huairu, a woman, had to learn locksmithing when they were watching TV. It turned out that the problem was with Yi Zhonghai. That's right, if Qin Huairu had an easy job, would she still rely on Yi Zhonghai? Now Qin Huairu is learning locksmithing from Yi Zhonghai, and Yi Zhonghai can easily brainwash Qin Huairu and not teach her real skills, or Qin Huairu herself cannot learn it, so her salary will not increase for a long time, and she will never have enough to spend, which will make it easier for Yi Zhonghai to control her.

Some people would say that Jia Dongxu was a fitter who followed Yi Zhonghai, but Jia Dongxu died at work. Although Qin Huairu took over his job, he did not have to be a fitter. In a large factory with tens of thousands of people, is there no job suitable for the family members of the victims?

Li Tianyou thought of an interesting thing, that is, what chain reaction would occur if Qin Huairu was transferred from a workshop to work in other departments. Li Tianyou smiled in his heart. Since he wanted to know what would happen, he would take action.

Li Tianyou smiled and said, "Director Yang, let's do this. You can use the matter of Sha Zhu this time to repay the deaf old lady's favor. But I have a suggestion, I don't know if it will work."

Upon hearing this, Director Yang hurriedly said, "Tianyou, feel free to ask for anything you want. If it can be done, I will definitely support it."

Li Tianyou said with a smile: "Director Yang, I see that Qin Huairu has been in the same workshop for so long and is still an apprentice. She is not even a first-class worker. Why not let her come to our purchasing department?"

Upon hearing this, Director Yang smiled and said, "Okay, I will arrange for the Human Resources Department to do Qin Huairu's personnel transfer today."

Seeing the look in Director Yang's eyes, Li Tianyou suddenly felt that Director Yang might have misunderstood him, and hurriedly said, "Director Yang, I made this request because I am dissatisfied with Yi Zhonghai's approach, and I have no other intentions. Don't think too much about it."

It would have been fine if Li Tianyou hadn't explained. Once he did, Director Yang's smile became even more intriguing. He said, "I know. Tianyou means well. I know."

Li Tianyou shouted in his heart, you know you mmp.

Li Tianyou did not stay with Director Yang for too long. After explaining the matter clearly, he returned to the purchasing department.

Li Tianyou returned to the purchasing department and sat in his office. He found that there was not much waiting for him. The materials were all planned and he just had to sign. The unplanned purchasers had daily quantitative tasks and they had to complete their own tasks. After Li Tianyou finished his own business, he went to the department store again.

Li Tianyou came to the watch sales area and pointed at a Shanghai brand watch and asked, "Hello, can you please take out this watch so I can have a look?"

The saleswoman wanted to refuse, but when she saw that the person he was talking to was so good-looking, she smiled and said to Li Tianyou: "Hello, do you want to buy it? We don't allow you to take it out to see it without a ticket."

Li Tianyou smiled and took out the ticket given by the system sign-in and said, "I have the ticket. Don't worry, I will definitely buy it. I will definitely not tease you."

Looking at the watch ticket in Li Tianyou's hand, the saleswoman's eyes lit up and said, "Wait a moment, I'll get it for you now."

Watches are rare items these days, a symbol of status, and a magic weapon for seduce women. When you show the watch on your wrist, you are the coolest guy on the street.

The saleswoman took out a watch and said, "This is a Shanghai watch made by Shanghai Watch Factory. It is a semi-steel shockproof 1110-402,17 watch with 128 diamonds and a strap. Price: yuan."

Li Tianyou took the watch, tried it on and said, "Put it on." Then he took out a thick stack of big black coins and gave the watch ticket to the saleswoman.

Under the gazes of many people, Li Tianyou left the department store and rode his bicycle back to the courtyard.

After buying a watch, Li Tianyou saw that it was already 10 o'clock, so he hurried to the courtyard.

Li Tianyou couldn't wait to meet Ding Qiunan, if for no other reason than for the system mall.

When Li Tianyou was about to reach the courtyard, he took out some things from the system space in a deserted place, including a chicken, a fish, a piece of beef, a piece of pork, and some side dishes.

As soon as he arrived at the courtyard, he saw the third aunt who was acting as the door god for Yan Bugui. Li Tianyou smiled and said, "Third aunt, these are the dishes for the lunch meeting today. Come and get them. I'll put the bicycle in the backyard. If anyone comes, ask Jie Cheng or Jie Fang to call me in the backyard and I'll come over."

The third aunt took the dish from Li Tianyou with a smile and couldn't stop smiling. She said hurriedly, "Chief Li, go back and have a rest. I'll ask Jiefang to call you when people come."

The people in the front yard watched Li Tianyou hand so many delicious foods to the third aunt, and they were also curious about who Li Tianyou was going to meet at Yan Bugui's house today?
