Siheyuan: Pioneer in anti-corruption, fighting against evil!

If you don’t sleep well at night, you won’t have the energy to work the next day, and it will naturally be difficult to improve your skills. Can you blame her?

Zhao Li waited until Zhang Qiang and Xu Dahai left for work, but they never showed up. She simply tidied up Zhang Qiang's room and lay comfortably on his bed.

When Zhang Qiang left, he took some fruits home while Xu Dahai was not paying attention.

Zhao Li washed the fruit, cut it into a fruit plate, and placed it beside the bed. When she couldn't sleep, she would eat some fruit to relieve her boredom.

Aunt Wang, Sun Erniang and others were very surprised to see that Zhang Qiang's door was not locked. After Zhang Qiang came to the courtyard, he always locked the door, so everyone followed suit. They thought he forgot and did not expect that Zhao Li stayed at Zhang Qiang's house.

The aunt waited for Chen Ming to leave, and then went to deliver food to the deaf woman with peace of mind.

The deaf old woman frowned when she saw the food brought by the old lady.

**Trivial life under the eaves**

Ah Fang walked out of the house, busy hanging clothes, washing vegetables and cooking, and had completely forgotten what the deaf old lady had told her to do to find Xiaohua. Living at home, firewood, rice, oil and salt are the main themes of daily life, and no one is born a housewife.

Speaking of this, Ah Fang actually looked down on Xiao Hua. Xiao Hua had been married to Lao Li for so many years, but she still couldn't cook and could only do some simple housework. If she didn't have a son, she would definitely not allow her son to marry a daughter-in-law like Xiao Hua who couldn't manage the household.

The deaf old lady waited for a long time at home, but neither Afang nor Xiaohua came. In desperation, she had to go to Lao Li's house with a cane. However, when she saw the iron padlock hanging on the door of Lao Li's house, her anger became even stronger.

The lock was not only for anti-theft, but also for isolating the friendship between neighbors. Her status in this courtyard became precarious. With a sigh, the deaf old lady could only turn back home and continue to wait for news of Xiaohua.

At this time, Xiaohua was lying on the bed in Dashan's house, sleeping soundly with a satisfied smile on her face. In Dashan, she could sleep peacefully without worrying about the deaf old lady knocking on the door to disturb her. If she went home, the deaf old lady would have knocked on the door by now.

SLEEPLESS NIGHTS

In the Public Security Bureau, Uncle Li stayed awake all night, thinking about how to regain control of the situation. His eyes were bloodshot and he looked very tired.

The ancients often said: If you don't do bad things, you don't have to worry about ghosts knocking on your door. But Uncle Li is obviously guilty. Once things are beyond his control, he will be unable to sleep or eat. This makes him extremely controllable. He can obviously let Zhang Gen take care of him in his old age through sincerity, but he insists on using ** and means to achieve his goal, trying to control everything about Zhang Gen.

His colleagues in the bureau had long been disgusted with him, and some were even unwilling to have too much contact with him, fearing that he would deceive them. Only Zhang Gen seemed not to be deceived by him, but was led by Zhao Li all the way to the steel mill. It was not until Zhao Li reminded him that Zhang Gen remembered to talk to Yang Wanqing.

**RELEASE LI SHU**

"Zhang Gen, what do you want to talk to me about?" Yang Wanqing was processing documents. When he saw Zhang Gen walk into the office, he asked with a little surprise.

Zhang Gen said with dissatisfaction: "Director, didn't you say that Uncle Li would be released after three days? Why hasn't anyone come to pick him up yet?"

Hearing Zhang Gen calling him "Uncle Li" all the time, Yang Wanqing was stunned for a moment before he realized that Uncle Li was the "uncle" Zhang Gen was talking about.

"Hasn't Uncle Li been released yet?"

Zhang Gen nodded. Yang Wanqing responded calmly: "Go and call Lao Zhou, I'll arrange for him to pick them up."

Yang Wanqing did not ask the reason and directly sent Lao Zhou to the police station to pick up Uncle Li.

"Zhang Gen, go back to the cafeteria to work!"

When Zhang Gen saw that Yang Wanqing sent someone to pick up Uncle Li, he finally felt relieved and returned to the cafeteria happily.

During the break, Tian Youfu came to the security department and found Dashan: "Why are you so close to Lao Li? You even invited him to dinner for two consecutive days? Don't you know what kind of person he is?"

Dashan nodded and said, "I have indeed heard about his character, but as far as I know, he mainly has something to do with Zhang Gen, and I haven't heard of any other bad behavior from him."

Tian Youfu was silent for a moment. Although he couldn't tell what bad things Lao Li had done, his opinion of him had not changed. "In short, Lao Li is not a good person. Don't be fooled."

"I know. But it is precisely because Lao Li is not a good person that I cannot offend him easily. As the saying goes, 'It is better to offend a gentleman than a villain.' Since he came to invite me, I cannot refuse." Dashan went on to explain, "Besides, only if he comes more often can Xiaohua stay here with me openly."

Tian Youfu didn't think much about it and said, "Your idea makes sense, as long as you don't offend Lao Li. However, I still want to remind you not to tell him about your own affairs."

Dashan laughed and said, "Lao Li's main enemy

Shen Guohui sneered, "You think you are still a respected senior technician, and you can still put on airs in front of Director Yang. Eighth-level workers are indeed rare, but they are not irreplaceable. It's just that no one is as pretentious as you, so Director Yang mistakenly thinks you are a down-to-earth old worker and is particularly tolerant of you."

You're almost wearing underwear when you go out, why are you pretending to be a big shot?

"Old Zhou, the factory director specifically asked to talk to you. He has been through that era and has seen all kinds of storms. I suggest that you come back to the factory with me first."

Zhou Jianwen's face was dark, and he silently sighed that he was a hero at the end of his road. But he had to be wary of Shen Guohui, and he didn't know how Director Yang viewed him now.

"Since Director Yang is willing to summon me, I will go to the factory and explain it clearly. How could our factory allow someone like Liu Yong to come in and let him serve as the deputy chief of the security department? This is simply nonsense."

Shen Guohui ignored it, as he knew that Liu Yong's promotion was inseparable from Zhou Jianwen's secret help. Without Zhou Jianwen's lies, how could Liu Yong take advantage of this?

Although this was no secret, Shen Guohui did not dare to expose it directly. The old man in front of him seemed gentle on the surface, but in fact he was very cunning and a complete hypocrite.

When Zhou Jianwen left, Director Zhang did not show up, obviously unwilling to let Zhou Jianwen go. However, this matter involves a wide range of people, and if it is made public, it will definitely damage the interests of many parties.

The other police officers also breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, this trouble was gone. Zhou Jianwen had been emphasizing his "public spirit" these days, which made them feel extremely disgusted. They were police officers who guarded justice and could not tolerate Zhou Jianwen's hypocritical remarks.

When passing by the entrance of the steel rolling mill, Zhou Jianwen glanced at the security department before following Shen Guohui into the office building.

He had mixed feelings. The security department was different from other departments, and sometimes even the leaders could not give orders at will. As a senior technician, he could not directly influence the security department.

If he cannot check and balance Liu Yong, it will greatly affect his retirement life. Every time Zhou Jianwen thinks of this, he gets a headache.

Arriving at Yang Wanqing's office, Shen Guohui knocked on the door gently.

"Please come in."

As soon as the door opened, Shen Guohui walked into the room.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Jianwen cursed inwardly, "flattering". He never had the habit of knocking on the door. Even when entering Lao Zhao's house, he would just push the door open.

"Director, I've brought Master Zhou back."

Yang Wanqing had not yet figured out how to deal with Zhou Jianwen. Zhou Jianwen had caused a lot of trouble. Liu Yong had a dispute with someone in the courtyard, and then reported others for reselling materials at the steel mill. The conflict between the two was deep.

Yang Wanqing had a bad impression of Liu Yong because Liu Yong made him lose prestige in the factory, although he was not entirely responsible for this matter.

When Yang Wanqing learned that Liu Yong had captured a wild boar with his bare hands, he realized that Liu Yong had gained a firm foothold.

In contrast, Zhou Jianwen, who had offended Liu Yong many times, was in trouble.

Recently, Yang Wanqing heard many stories about Zhou Jianwen, which made him speechless.

"Zhou Jianwen, you are a veteran worker in the factory, why are you acting so recklessly?"

Zhou Jianwen felt sad. Yang Wanqing used to call him "Master Zhou", but now he just called him by his first name.

"Director Yang, this is not my fault. Liu Yong is new here, how could he get a bicycle ticket, while I, an old worker, don't even have a bicycle? I asked because I was worried that he was up to something. If he could be honest, I wouldn't think he was speculating. I think he did it on purpose."

Yang Wanqing felt a little tired. Instead of doing this, he might as well temporarily detain Zhou Jianwen. "Zhou Jianwen, why don't you have a bicycle ticket? Is it because of the factory? The factory gave you a bicycle ticket as a prize a few years ago. What did you do with it? You used that bicycle ticket to win people's hearts and made the leader lose face. Have you forgotten about this?"

Zhou Jianwen certainly would not forget it. Back then, Li Dongxu was still alive and had his eyes on that ticket. Li Dongxu was his apprentice and future support, so it was okay to give it to him. However, he didn't even have the money to buy a bicycle, so he couldn't ask his master to buy him a bicycle!

Zhou Jianwen simply gave the ticket to a worker who was getting married. He felt very disappointed to have given away a ticket for nothing. In order to show the importance of the ticket, he gave a moral speech.

Li Ming shouted angrily, "Sister Mei, who bullied you? Tell me and I will teach them a lesson. How dare they bully a widow? Are they still human? I will teach them a lesson."

Mei Ting hurriedly stopped Li Ming. She knew that Li Ming was concerned about her, but this was not an option. In the factory, only the director had the right to deduct her salary. If Li Ming really did it, she would not be able to continue working in the workshop.

"Li Ming, I just want to talk to you and let you know that life is not easy. Don't think about fighting. If you are fired from the factory because of fighting, how will I live in the future?" Mei Ting said earnestly.

Li Ming turned around anxiously, but he was helpless. "Sister Mei, I understand what you mean. How about I stir the wok for them? Then they will know the consequences of offending the chef."
