Siheyuan, my new life

Chapter 201: Shrinking Turtle

In the office of the director of the Security Department, Lin Yu was reviewing documents when the phone on his desk suddenly rang. Lin Yu picked up the phone and said calmly, "Hello, I'm Lin Yu."

The familiar voice of Deputy Minister Zhao of the People's Armed Forces Department came from the microphone: "Hello, Director Lin, I'm Lao Zhao. I just received a call from Guan Dajiang. According to his report, the laboratory equipment at the base was damaged by human beings. What is the specific situation? Will it affect the subsequent work?"

Lin Yu picked up the cigarette on the desk, lit one and then spoke: "Hello, Vice Minister Zhao. When I went to the training base this afternoon to check the progress of the reconstruction, I found that the interior of the stainless steel furnace in the original laboratory was severely damaged and completely scrapped. Comrade Qin Ming and I just analyzed this, and now we have basically ruled out the possibility that it was done by the security department personnel. Since taking over the training base, Qin Ming has sent a team of security guards to be responsible for the guard work day and night. If someone destroyed the stainless steel furnace during this period, such a big movement could not be hidden from the security guards in charge of the guard work. In order not to delay the preparation of the liquid medicine, I re-drew the blueprint when I was in the base laboratory. I have just asked the clerk to hand it over to Liu Changhe of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill to rebuild it immediately, and it must be completed within two days."

After hearing Lin Yu's words, Deputy Minister Zhao breathed a sigh of relief. What he was most worried about was that the preparation of the medicine would be delayed, and it would be difficult to explain to everyone at all levels. However, he was also very annoyed about the serious damage to the laboratory equipment. Of course, he heard the implication from Lin Yu's words just now. Since it was not the people from the Security Department of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill who did it, then the person who did it was obvious. Someone must be held responsible for this matter, otherwise who knows what kind of trouble will happen in the future.

So Deputy Minister Zhao said in a serious tone: "Okay, I will report this matter to my superiors. By the way, the Municipal Party Committee, the People's Armed Forces Department and the Municipal Bureau have selected suitable personnel. When do you think we can let these people go?"

Lin Yu took a puff of cigarette and thought for a moment, "Deputy Minister Zhao, if possible, let's have all these people come here tomorrow. They must undergo a period of recovery training before taking the medicinal bath. We have already started training here in the Security Department today. I plan to select from the existing personnel in the Security Department. If there are not enough people later, I will have to trouble Deputy Minister Zhao to help arrange them."

Deputy Minister Zhao agreed immediately, and the two exchanged a few more pleasantries before ending the call.

Lin Yu leaned back in his chair, fiddling with a Zippo lighter. Su Yu knocked on the door and got permission to walk into the office. She smiled and reported: "Director, Director Liu has already taken the drawings to arrange the production."

Lin Yu nodded and looked at his watch. It was almost half past four, so he packed up the documents on his desk and said, "I have something to do and I'll leave first. I'll trouble you here."

Su Yu quickly agreed and stepped forward to help organize the documents.

Lin Yu left the Security Office Building and drove his jeep directly back to the west wing next to Courtyard No. 95. After opening the door and parking the jeep, Lin Yu subconsciously scanned the next door with his spiritual sense. He had just felt several streams of resentment directed at him.

In the front yard of Courtyard No. 95, Yan Bugui's home was in a mess. His wife Yang Ruihua was packing things while muttering to herself, his three sons were busy with gloomy faces, and his little daughter, who was only three or four years old, was looking at her busy mother and brothers curiously.

Seven or eight aunties and grandmas from the neighborhood gathered in the front yard to watch the fun. Of course, the fat woman Jia Zhang was indispensable at this time. Even the deaf old lady in the backyard stood here with a crutch in one hand and holding Xiao Yushui's hand in the other.

At this time, Xiao Yushui had almost completely changed her appearance. She was wearing a decent pink dress and her tender little face looked like a fairy carved from jade. She was curiously looking at everything in front of her, stuffing a piece of shrimp candy into her little mouth from time to time. At the same time, she did not forget to lift her toes and stuff one into the old lady's mouth, which made the deaf old lady's face smile like a chrysanthemum.

Lin Yu saw this scene through his spiritual sense and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. If he hadn't intervened, the poor girl Xiao Yushui would probably not have escaped the tragic fate of hunger. Now, seeing the intimate behavior between the deaf old lady and the little girl, he couldn't help but smile.

At this time, the neighbors who were watching the fun had no regard for the feelings of the Yan family at all, and were talking loudly and unscrupulously. From their words, it was learned that someone from the street office had come to notify them at 8 o'clock this morning that the leaders of the street office would come to No. 95 Siheyuan tonight to hold a meeting of the whole courtyard, requiring all residents to attend.

Originally, Jia Dongxu was planning to send his mother, Jia Zhang, back to the countryside this morning, but just as he was about to leave, he ran into the clerk of the street office and was asked to attend the whole hospital meeting tonight. Jia Dongxu had no choice but to go home with Jia Zhang obediently.

Now these old ladies were discussing this topic loudly. A woman in her fifties glanced at Jia Zhang, who was staring at the Yan family's house with shining eyes, and said sarcastically: "I guess the leaders of the street office came to the meeting tonight to target the three managers in our courtyard. Now I dare not say that I am a resident of the courtyard at No. 95 Nanluoguxiang when I go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables. I really can't afford to be embarrassed by that person."

Another middle-aged woman nearby also chimed in: "Who says it's not true? The third uncle who manages the business is the son of the reactionary capitalist Yan Wenzhai. The second uncle is a bunch of idiots but he acts like a leader all day long. He has drunk two mouthfuls of cat urine and has forgotten his last name. He even dared to smash the door of a big leader for no reason. As for the first uncle who manages the business, he is even more incredible. He talks about respecting the elderly and loving the young and uniting the neighbors all day long, but behind the scenes he is a thief and a prostitute, deceiving the world and stealing reputation. He donates money and food to his lover under the banner of uniting the neighbors and helping families in need. Usually, whenever his lover gets into trouble, he will protect her regardless of the facts. Now, everyone has seen through his true face."

Jia Zhang, who was originally making her own plans, heard the aunt's sarcastic words. If she had kept her temper, she would have rushed over and tore the other person's mouth. But thinking that now with Yi Zhonghai stepping down, there would be no one to protect her in this courtyard, Jia Zhang could only glare at the other person fiercely, turned away angrily, but kept cursing the other person's ancestors for eighteen generations in her heart.

Seeing Jia Zhang's dejected figure leaving, the aunts and grandmas present were all surprised. The one who had just spoken was the wife of Fang Dahu in the backyard. When she said those words, she had already prepared for a fight with Jia Zhang. Because of Jia Zhang's stealing of her eggs, she hated Jia Zhang and Yi Zhonghai to the core. Now that she had the opportunity to criticize these two guys in public, she could completely vent her anger. Therefore, even if she had another fight with Jia Zhang, she didn't care. What's more, although Jia Zhang was fat, she was not afraid of her if she really wanted to fight.

Seeing Jia Zhang's somewhat embarrassed figure, Fang Dahu's wife couldn't help laughing, and the aunties and grandmas around her also laughed along. Jia Zhang, who usually threw tantrums and acted like a scoundrel in the courtyard, now acted like a coward with her tail between her legs.
