Siheyuan: Spring and Autumn

As soon as she finished speaking, the person who came walked up to Xu Huizhen. It was Aunt Li, the director of the neighborhood committee.

Xu Huizhen supported her and said, "Aunt Li, please sit down."

Aunt Li didn't sit down. She just felt refreshed at the moment, and the frustration she had been feeling for a while began to dissipate.

"Fan Jinyou, let me tell you clearly that our country implements public-private partnerships in order to transform capitalist industry and commerce in the economic field and complete the socialist management system. However, public-private partnerships are not about doing anything to a particular businessman. Do you understand now?"

Fan Jinyou felt very uncomfortable. I am a street cadre, and you are a neighborhood committee cadre. What qualifications do you have to tell me what to do?

Just because you're old?

Just because you don't brush your teeth?

No, just because you have a rounder face?

"I don't understand. I just want to ask you, are you the superior or am I the superior?" There was a natural sense of dissatisfaction in his words.

Aunt Li smiled confidently and said, "You are the superior."

"Ugh."

Fan Jinyou smiled slightly and said, "It's enough for you to know."

Unfortunately, Aunt Li’s next words made all the pride in his heart disappear.

"But, just now, the street director Li made it very clear that if you don't listen to me, he will immediately transfer your organizational relationship to our neighborhood committee, so that I can manage you."

Fan Jinyou was stunned on the spot, but Xu Huizhen became happy.

"Auntie, please sit down and talk."

Aunt Li sat down with a smile on her face: "Believe it or not. I tell you clearly that you have a very wrong understanding of the spirit of your superiors and the party's policies, and now it has caused a great deal of adverse reactions."

Fan Jinyou was still confused. Before he could react to Director Li's words, he heard Aunt Li still muttering:

"I now officially declare that in this pub, there is no such thing as a public manager leading a private manager. Both of them are leaders, but when you work together, you must care for each other, help each other, and work together to make our pilot project a success. Set an example and strive to complete all public-private partnerships in our street by the end of January next year. This is our goal, Huizhen, do you understand?"

Aunt Li came to support her, so Xu Huizhen naturally cooperated very well and said with a smile: "I understand. Director Fan and I have equal rights and are on an equal footing."

"That's what it means."

"I have another question. Since the business area has doubled, how should the dividends be calculated?"

Aunt Li said: "The street has already issued clear instructions that the dividends will remain unchanged. This is our national policy and no one has the right to change it."

"Your words put my mind at ease. I'll get busy now."

"Go ahead and do it with confidence."

When Xu Huizhen walked out of the tavern, Fan Jinyou immediately approached Aunt Li and said, "Aunt, if you do what I said, wouldn't Xu Huizhen get a great deal?"

"Jin You, since you are a leader, you must act like a leader. Since our original approach was wrong, we must take responsibility. If we are wrong, we must correct it. Only by correcting it can we be good comrades. This is the consistent working style of our party. We must correct our mistakes when we know them. You must remember that the tavern is a pilot project. If something really goes wrong, you cannot take responsibility at all."

As she spoke, she walked toward the door of the pub. When she was almost at the gate, she turned around and said, "Also, you have to pay attention to the way you do your job. If you make any mistakes again, I will definitely ask Director Li to transfer you to the neighborhood committee and see how I discipline you."

Fan Jinyou was so frightened that he quickly caught up with her, grabbed Aunt Li and said, "Please don't, Aunt Li, I beg you, please don't tell Director Li, I will definitely work hard and won't cause you any more trouble."

After saying that, he ran out of the pub. Aunt Li was confused by his outrageous behavior and said to his back: "You have to really learn your lesson, otherwise, it will be difficult for you to avoid problems."

Fan Jinyou had already run away, so she could only talk to herself as she walked.

After walking around outside and waiting for Aunt Li to leave, Fan Jinyou returned to the tavern. Aunt Li criticized him and he felt very uncomfortable. When he returned to the tavern, he did not see the culprit who embarrassed him, so he asked, "Where is Master Xu Hui? Why isn't she here?"

"do not know."

Zhao Yali was also angry with him and said unhappily.

Fan Jin ignored her sarcasm and just sat there sulking.

After a while, seeing Xu Huizhen walking into the tavern, Fan Jinyou immediately got angry and asked, "Xu Huizhen, where have you been?"

"I went home to breastfeed the baby."

Although her brother-in-law Qin Zheng has been providing Li'er with milk powder, she has also been drinking breast milk.

"Kong Yali, remember this: Xu Huizhen was absent from work for half a day."

"Director Fan, you are wrong. There are no customers in the store at all."

"You have to stand here even if no one is around. There's no one on the road, and the street lights are on."

"When I was the only one running the tavern, I left when I was told to. Now there are more people in the store than customers, and I have to keep an eye on it. Aren't you being too rigid?"

"Hahaha, you think the tavern is still the same as before. The tavern used to be yours, but now it's a public-private partnership. You have to do whatever we do, otherwise I'll deduct your salary."

After hearing this, Xu Huizhen immediately covered her mouth and laughed: "Deduct my salary? Don't say it's me, even if it's you, if you can get your salary at the end of the month, then my words will be in vain. Accountant Zhao, Yuqin, Yumei, this is what I said, just wait and see."

After saying that, he was still laughing, which made Fan Jin look very unhappy.

"Since I've been absent from work for half a day, I won't come this half day."

After saying that, Xu Huizhen ignored Fan Jinyou, turned around, left the tavern and went home.

"Remember, remember, I'm absent from work for one day."

Fan Jinyou was a little angry and kept saying to Zhao Yali.

"I've got it. Director Fan, if you keep deducting money, Xu Huizhen will have worked for nothing this month and won't get a penny."

"I just want to make sure she doesn't get paid. Otherwise, how can I discipline her?"

In the afternoon, outside the tavern.

"Clang clang clang."

Amid the sound of gongs, Pian'er Ye was singing: "Alas, the Ming Dynasty had 16 emperors. The last emperor, Chongzhen, was not very peaceful. There were three years of drought and three years of floods. Rice was as expensive as pearls and its price kept rising. The government also imposed unknown taxes, which led to wars all over the country. It was true that the officials forced the people to rebel. You could not survive if you did not rebel. During this time, several heroic generals emerged. There was a rebel king named Li Zicheng. Li Zicheng started his army in Zhoufu. There was a Zhang Xianzhong in Henan. Zhang Xianzhong fought to Sichuan. The Seven Killings Monument has not been closed to this day. The rebel king fought for several years and finally broke into Beijing. He changed the name of the country to Dashun. The emperor who lived for forty days was not very peaceful. He mistakenly killed the loyal general Li Yan. Lady Hong faced a solitary lamp when she entered the temple. He had a subordinate named Liu Zongming, who took possession of Chen Yuanyuan because she was a beautiful woman, and therefore annoyed Wu Sangui, so he invited Qing troops from outside Shanhaiguan. Dorgon fought to Beiping Prefecture. Emperor Shunzhi took power and established the Qing Dynasty. Alas..."
