Siheyuan, my new life

Before eight o'clock in the morning, seven or eight cars arrived at the training base of the Security Department of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill. A dozen middle-aged and elderly people with dignified expressions were standing quietly beside the training ground.

When Lin Yu drove the jeep to the road leading to the training base, he was shocked by the scene in front of him. Normally, there were only two security guards on duty here, but today there were twelve fully armed security guards standing on both sides of the gate. Every five or six meters on the wall of the training base, there was a security guard holding a rifle, and there was even a heavy machine gun set up on the observation tower of the training base.

Subconsciously, a spiritual sense enveloped the entire training base in an instant, and the scene he detected made Lin Yu secretly amazed. Although he had thought that after receiving the report from Zhang Shangwu and others, some leaders from above would come to the training base to watch the medicinal bath process, he did not expect that so many leaders would be alarmed to come to this desolate wilderness.

Having already explored the situation in the training base clearly, Lin Yu stepped lightly on the accelerator, and the Willys Jeep roared towards the gate of the base.

When Lin Yu's car stopped at the gate, the security guards on duty immediately stood at attention and saluted in unison. Lin Yu got off the jeep and stood at attention to return the salute. After signing the entry and exit registration book, he got in the car and drove into the base.

At this time, the leaders standing at the side of the training ground had already spotted Lin Yu's car, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the jeep that was slowly approaching.

Lin Yu parked the car about 20 to 30 meters away from the training ground, turned off the engine, got out of the jeep, and then strode towards the leaders not far away.

According to the official rules of Longguo since ancient times, the more powerful a person is, the more likely he is to be in the center of attention. Therefore, Lin Yu has already had a certain understanding of the positions of these leaders now.

In front of him, sitting on the center left, was an elderly man in his fifties wearing a gray Zhongshan suit and with a peaceful demeanor. Although this was the first time they met, Lin Yu could vaguely guess his identity. The man wearing a Type 55 army uniform and with the rank of lieutenant general on his shoulders was none other than Commissioner Qiao, whom he had met once at Union Hospital.

Director Wan of the Beijing Municipal Bureau, Minister Yan of the People's Armed Forces Department and others also appeared here, and even the figure of a deputy commander of the military was seen in the crowd.

Lin Yu stood at attention four or five meters away from the leaders and saluted and greeted: "Hello, leaders."

Lin Yu did not wear a police uniform today, but a decent light gray Zhongshan suit, which was also intentional. He guessed that there would be military and municipal bureau leaders present today, and he did not want to irritate the sensitive nerves of some military people, and also hoped to remind them that he was no longer an active soldier.

Commissioner Qiao returned the salute, then smiled and said, "Hello, Comrade Lin Yu, come, let me introduce you." Then he pointed to the old man next to him and said, "This is Chief Teng."

Lin Yu quickly stepped forward, shook the big hand that Chief Teng extended to him, and greeted him with a smile.

Chief Teng held Lin Yu's hands tightly and laughed, saying: "Comrade Lin Yu, we only talked on the phone before, but today I can finally see you, a legendary rising star, in person. You are indeed extraordinary and outstanding!"

Lin Yu quickly said respectfully: "Commander Teng, thank you for your praise. I am just an ordinary revolutionary fighter. I really don't deserve it."

The two exchanged a few simple pleasantries, and Chief Teng introduced the leaders behind him to Lin Yu. Lin Yu smiled and shook hands with these leaders one by one. After finishing his work, he whispered, "Chief Teng, do you think we should go to the conference room to have tea and rest for a while? I need to check the preparations right away to ensure that the medicinal bath officially starts at 8:30."

Chief Teng looked at his watch and said with a smile: "Just go and do your own thing. We have already had tea in the conference room. We all want to see the results of the medicinal bath as soon as possible, so we can't sit still and stand here."

After hearing this, Lin Yu didn't know what to say, so he nodded slightly to the leaders and hurried to the training ground.

Since there were only more than 280 bathtubs, Qin Ming called Lin Yu last night for instructions and decided to divide the people who needed the medicinal bath into two groups. Originally, Lin Yu meant to conduct the medicinal bath in a large vacant workshop, but now there are 250 to 60 bathtubs neatly placed on the training ground. It is obvious that this is the instruction of another leader.

Seeing Lin Yu coming over, Qin Ming and Xiong Qingshan hurried forward. As soon as they got close, Xiong Qingshan said impatiently: "Secretary, we had originally placed the bathtubs in the workshop overnight, but when the leaders came this morning, someone notified us that a leader wanted to watch the entire medicinal bathing process on site and asked us to move all the bathtubs to the training ground. It was Lao Qin and I who argued with reason and left thirty in the small workshop for the female comrades to use."

Lin Yu couldn't help but shake his head secretly. He was just doing these formalities all day long. He couldn't control other things, but this was his own little piece of land. Who dared to come here and give orders?

So Lin Yu ordered in a deep voice: "Take your men and move all the bathtubs back to the workshop immediately according to the previous arrangement."

Qin Ming and Xiong Qingshan immediately responded loudly, turned around and ran quickly towards the training ground.

Lin Yu turned around with a gloomy face and walked towards Chief Teng and others.

The leaders who were talking in low voices saw Lin Yu walking towards them with a gloomy face, and they all looked over.

Lin Yu walked up to Chief Teng without any politeness and said directly: "Chief Teng, which leader ordered the staff of the training base to change the medicinal bathing venue? Disrupting the work arrangements without authorization?"

Chief Teng and Commissioner Qiao looked at each other and shook their heads slightly. Chief Teng asked, "Lin Yu, what happened?"

Lin Yu said with a gloomy face: "Commander Teng, according to the original plan, due to the limited number of bathtubs, the personnel who need to take the medicinal bath today will be divided into two groups. Considering various factors such as temperature and humidity, I deliberately chose an empty workshop next to the medicinal bath. But just now, I reported that this morning, I don’t know which leader actually bypassed my order to the comrades below and moved the medicinal bath site to the training ground without authorization. I can’t help but ask this leader, with such a large temperature difference between indoors and outdoors, who is responsible for problems during the medicinal bath?"

Commander Teng's face darkened after hearing this. Although he did not know any medical skills, he understood that there must be a huge temperature difference between the nearly closed workshop and the training ground that was in full view in front of him. You know, in order to keep Lin Yu, he went to the Military Commission to negotiate with the main leaders in person, and in order to ensure the smooth progress of the medicinal bath, he gave special care to this training base in terms of manpower and material resources. He never expected that when he was about to see the results, someone would jump out to make comments and disrupt the medicinal bath process.
