Siheyuan, my new life

Wang Bo started to think after receiving the order from Director Hu. After the death of Lao Qian, there was only one director and party group secretary and three deputy directors in the leadership team of the bureau, and the superiors had been slow to appoint an executive deputy director. According to normal procedures, the three deputy directors Liu Yong, Li Xiangdong and Guo Feng all had the hope of making further progress, but none of them were willing to give up the real power in their hands to become the executive deputy director in name only.

There are also several deputy-division-level cadres in the branch who are scheming and dreaming of rising to the top overnight. But as the office director next to Director Hu, Wang Bo knows very well that those people are just daydreaming. According to his experience, the final executive deputy director must be selected from the three deputy directors. As for which unlucky guy it will be, it depends on Director Hu's consideration. Moreover, when a deputy director position is vacant, Director Hu will most likely promote his own confidant from the police station directors to take over. Wang Bo's goal is to hope that he can take over the position of director at that time.

Director Hu is a protective person towards his subordinates. He always thinks of his subordinates when there is any good thing. However, Director Hu attaches great importance to the power in his hands. Otherwise, Comrade Lao Qian, a deputy director-general with the same administrative level as Director Hu, would only be able to become a mascot of the branch with the title of Director of the Security Department of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill.

In fact, according to what Wang Bo revealed to his comrades in the Municipal Bureau when they were drinking, several leaders of the Municipal Bureau were very dissatisfied with Director Hu's practice of monopolizing power.

Although Wang Bo also coveted the position of deputy director, he knew his own limitations. He had just been promoted to deputy director last year, and he had not achieved any outstanding results. If he continued to stay in the position of office director, he would probably have no hope of promotion within five years. What he wanted most now was to be the chief of a police station, so that he could experience the power of having the final say and have more opportunities to be rewarded. Although the office director of a branch office was regarded as the director's confidant in the eyes of outsiders, how could outsiders understand the difficulties involved?

This time, Wang Bo planned to show off by preparing a house for the new deputy director. During the Spring Festival last year, when the director's wife had a dinner at his home, she complained that the house was too small and not spacious enough. Wang Bo remembered her words, so he planned to clean up the west wing and prepare a surprise for Director Hu. As for the new deputy director, he should continue to live in Lao Qian's courtyard.

Hu Dahai glared at Wang Bo and snorted, "I have a good tube-shaped building but I choose to live in a courtyard house. Did a donkey kick my head? Let Director Lin choose which one he wants to live in. Also, you must make sure that there is no problem with Director Lin's logistical support."

Wang Bo smiled bitterly in his heart. It seemed that he had been kicked in the head by a donkey. He only thought about the complaints of the director's wife, but did not understand the director's intention. He failed to flatter the director but hit the horse's hoof. It seemed that he should pay more attention to details in the future. He quickly replied: "Don't worry, Director, there will be no problem here."

At this time, two jeeps drove into the courtyard of the Dongcheng District Branch one after the other and stopped steadily in front of the office building.

The doors of the two jeeps opened almost at the same time. Director Liao Guangan of the Municipal Bureau's Personnel Department and a middle-aged officer with the rank of colonel on his shoulders got out of the first car. A young colonel with an upright figure and a resolute face got out of the car behind.

Hu Dahai came up to them with a laugh and said loudly: "Welcome Deputy Commander Fang and Director Liao to the Dongcheng District Branch to guide our work, and welcome Director Lin to work in our branch."

Director Liao Guangan introduced them: "Commander Fang, this is Director Hu Dahai of the Dongcheng District Branch."

Deputy Commander Fang shook hands with Hu Dahai warmly and said with a smile: "Director Hu is too polite. I am here to escort Colonel Lin Yu to report for duty on the instructions of the chief. Comrade Lin Yu will work in the Dongcheng District Branch in the future. Our army is Lin Yu's family, so I came here today to get to know him."

At this time, the movement in front of the office building had already attracted the attention of the staff in the building, and many people came to the window and looked there curiously.

After everyone briefly introduced themselves to each other, Director Hu smiled and said, "Deputy Commander Fang, Director Lin, Director Liao, let's not stand here anymore. Let's go to my office and have a cup of tea. I'm treating you to a meal at noon today to welcome Director Lin. Let's have a few drinks."

Fang Yuandong had already explained this to Liao Guangan on the way to the Dongcheng District Branch, so Liao Guangan quickly said, "Director Hu, Commander Fang and Comrade Lin Yu have to rush back to the army to report to the leader. Comrade Lin Yu is already working at the Dongcheng District Branch. You will have many opportunities to drink in the future. Let's take a look at the housing prepared for Comrade Lin Yu first. Comrade Lin Yu will settle down earlier so that he can start working earlier."

Hu Dahai knew he couldn't force it. They had to go to the army to look at the house and then report to the commander. How could he continue to insist? To be honest, when he first saw Deputy Army Commander Fang and Lin Yu's brand new Type 55 Army uniforms and the silver colonel rank on their shoulders, Hu Dahai felt a little sour. If he stayed in the army, would he be able to get the rank of colonel now? He gritted his teeth and suppressed all these thoughts in his heart, and said, "Wang Bo, drive my car, and let's go see the house you prepared for Director Lin."

Director Hu's car was a 50% to 60% new GAZ jeep produced in Russia. Wang Bo started the car and led the way, first arriving at the courtyard house where Lao Qian originally lived.

This place is next to the Jiaodaokou Subdistrict Office. Deputy Commander Fang did not get out of the car. He just looked at the surrounding environment and shook his head. He whispered to Hu Dahai who was sitting next to him: "Comrade Lin Yu still has three blood clots in his brain that have not been removed. According to the advice of the experts at Union Hospital, he needs to rest and recuperate. This place is close to the Subdistrict Office. It is estimated that there are a lot of people coming and going. The environment is too messy and too complicated."

Hu Dahai glanced at Lin Yu, who was frowning not far away. He nodded seriously. The environment here was indeed not suitable for rest and recuperation. So he called to Wang Bo: "Director Wang, take us to see another house."

At this moment, Hu Dahai couldn't help but feel a little resentful towards Wang Bo, the office director. No wonder Lao Qian would rather live in the hospital than live here. It was so noisy all around him. How could he rest and recuperate in peace?

The other house was not too far from the Jiaodaokou Street Office. The jeep drove for only three or four minutes before stopping at the gate of a three-courtyard quadrangle. Everyone got out of the car and looked at the age-old building in front of them.

Lin Yu took off his military jacket before getting off the car. He had just used his spiritual sense to roughly explore this courtyard and found it a little unbelievable at the time. However, thinking about the purpose of his "worldly experience", perhaps this place could allow him to better appreciate the joys and sorrows, ups and downs of the common people. After all, almost everyone living in this courtyard is a rare talent. Not only do they speak well and treat people warmly, but they are also selfless and willing to help others. He has decided to live in this west wing. Even if the lord of the Blue Star plane world comes, it will be of no use. In order to make it easier to deal with this group of kind people in the future, he deliberately took off his jacket with the rank of colonel.

Lin Yu couldn't help but smile to himself, put his military uniform jacket on the driver's seat, opened the car door and got out.

Just now, several leaders left without even entering the courtyard. It was obvious that they were not satisfied with the courtyard they had just entered. Wang Bo couldn't help but secretly feel fortunate that he had prepared the west wing of the courtyard. Otherwise, if he failed to complete the task assigned by Director Wan of the Municipal Bureau, not only would Director Hu lose face, but he, the person in charge, would also be criticized.

At this moment, Wang Bo had put away all his thoughts. He only hoped that the west wing he was going to see would satisfy the leaders, so that he could complete his task smoothly. So he quickly introduced it to everyone: "Leaders, this three-courtyard quadrangle in front of you is said to be the outer residence of a prince in the Qing Dynasty. Now there are nearly 20 households living in it, more than half of whom are workers working in the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill. We are going to see the west wing of this quadrangle. There is a lotus gate in the middle courtyard connecting to the west wing. Usually, as long as the gate is closed, it is definitely quiet in the bustling city. According to Director Hu's instructions, all the houses in the entire west wing have been rebuilt. Leaders, please come and visit. If you are not satisfied with anything, please correct me."

The three jeeps parked outside the gate not only attracted passers-by to stop and watch, after all, jeeps were rare in that era, let alone three of them in a row; the movement outside the gate also attracted the attention of the people in the courtyard. Ordinary people have always liked to watch the fun and join in the fun. More than a dozen unemployed uncles, aunts, young wives, young men and girls, and several children who have not yet gone to school all poured out of the courtyard and stood on the side of the road far away, watching the cars in front of them and the leaders who were looking at the courtyard. In the minds of ordinary people, those who can ride in a car must be leaders.

Wang Bo carefully accompanied the leaders to the gate of the courtyard. A middle-aged woman with a sallow complexion and a thin body had obviously recognized Wang Bo. She approached him with a flattering smile and said, "Leader Wang, are you here to see the house again?"

Wang Bo's face froze, and he cursed inwardly this nosy woman for joining in the fun. In the eyes of these ordinary people, he was the leader, but calling him the leader in front of these people behind him, wasn't this just trying to seduce him?

Forcing a smile on his face, Wang Bo said with a dry laugh: "It's Comrade Yang, we came to see the house." After that, he quickly walked into the courtyard.
