Siheyuan, my new life

It was five minutes before seven o'clock. Two jeeps slowly stopped in front of the gate of Courtyard No. 95. Director Qin Ming of the Security Department of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill got out of the jeep first, followed by Director Chang Ping'an of the Jiaodaokou Police Station and two security guards from the Security Department.

Deputy Director of the Security Department Xiong Qingshan, Director Wang of the Jiaodaokou Sub-district Office, and a staff member of the Sub-district Office got off the second jeep.

He Daqing stepped forward and said with a smile: "Welcome all leaders to Courtyard No. 95."

The second uncle Fang Dahu and the third uncle Sun Botao also hurried forward with smiles on their faces to greet them.

The five managers of No. 97 Tent and No. 93 Courtyard were shocked by the scene before them. After looking at each other, they smiled and went to greet them.

Qin Ming smiled and said to Director Chang and Director Wang: "Director Wang, Director Chang, it's almost time, let's get started right away."

So the group walked into Courtyard No. 95 in a mighty procession. The few young boys who were attracted by the noise of the jeep just now followed behind cautiously like quails. After all, most people would not dare to make any trouble in front of Director Chang in a police uniform and four burly men in security uniforms. What's more, Director Wang from the Street Office with a gloomy face was following them. These boys also knew her. Director Wang had just held a meeting for all residents in the courtyard a few days ago.

When a group of people appeared in the middle courtyard, the originally noisy and chaotic courtyard seemed to have pressed the pause button immediately, and almost everyone looked at these people who strode into the venue in amazement.

At this time, He Yuzhu, the old lady, and Xiao Yushui were sitting on chairs at the door of their house. When he saw the visitor, he immediately leaned over to the old lady's ear and whispered an introduction.

It was still a familiar scene. There were four chairs next to an old octagonal table. These were the chairs that He Yuzhu had specially moved from his own home. In the past, when the courtyard held a general meeting, the three managers would sit next to the octagonal table. But today, in addition to Director Qin, Director Chang and Director Wang, there was also his master Xiong Qingshan. He couldn't let his master stand during the meeting, right?

Seeing the two directors of the Security Department, the police station chief Chang, and the director Wang of the sub-district office appear in the middle courtyard, Yi Zhonghai, who was sitting at the door of his house, realized that something was wrong. How could these people come to the No. 95 courtyard together? Didn't He Daqing say in the evening that the sub-district office would come to hold a meeting? How could so many leaders come?

He Daqing stood beside the eight-immortals table. After asking several leaders for instructions in a low voice, he clapped his hands twice and said loudly: "Dear residents of the courtyard, the general meeting of the courtyard is now officially beginning. First, please allow Director Qin Ming of the Security Department of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill to speak." After that, he took the lead in clapping loudly, and the residents present also applauded in welcome.

Qin Ming stood up and made a gesture of pressing down towards the crowd with both hands. After the applause stopped, he said in a loud voice: "Dear residents of No. 95 Courtyard, we are holding this general meeting tonight because our Security Department received a report that someone used improper means to induce others to steal state property. After receiving the report, since our Security Department staff was involved, in order to avoid anyone suspecting that our Security Department favors its own staff, we have specially invited Director Wang of the Street Office and Director Chang of the Jiaodaokou Police Station to come and handle this matter together."

Everyone at the scene was shocked after hearing this, and those with quick minds had already started looking at Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu.

Yi Zhonghai's head almost exploded with a buzzing sound. He never thought that the idiot Sha Zhu would actually report him to the security department of the steel rolling mill. What should he do now? Yi Zhonghai gritted his teeth and kept thinking about the solution in his mind.

Qin Ming clapped his hands and said loudly: "Everyone please be quiet. Now please ask He Yuzhu to come up and repeat your report to everyone present."

He Yuzhu agreed and stood up and walked to the center of the venue. He glanced at Yi Zhonghai who was glaring at him fiercely and sneered in his heart, "You, a damned person, are thinking of plotting against me. You will be in trouble when you enter the small dark room of the Security Department."

He Yuzhu stood about three or four meters in front of the eight-immortal table and said loudly: "Hello, leaders, uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters in the courtyard, I will repeat what happened yesterday evening. There were many people in our courtyard at that time. If anyone finds that what I said is inconsistent with the facts, please report it directly to the leaders of the street office, police station and security department. I am willing to accept any punishment."

Next, He Yuzhu repeated everything that happened yesterday evening. The residents present were all a little surprised to see He Yuzhu standing in the venue and slowly narrating what happened. No one had expected that the silly Zhu, who was originally stupid, could speak without any stage fright in front of hundreds of people.

What you may not know is that in order to get his apprentice to perform well at the whole school assembly tonight, Xiong Qingshan put in a lot of effort this afternoon. However, now seeing his apprentice talking so eloquently, Xiong Qingshan could not help but smile.

After He Yuzhu repeated what happened last night, he continued without waiting for Qin Ming to speak: "Leaders, I have another report. Someone is deliberately smearing and destroying my reputation." Then he repeated what happened this evening. "Leaders, when the incident happened this evening, many people in our courtyard were at the scene. The leaders can directly investigate."

Qin Ming and others were already furious just because of what happened yesterday evening, but they didn't expect Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu to be so vain. It seems that they are still determined to do evil.

Director Wang was originally a little uncomfortable when Qin Ming invited him to attend this meeting, thinking that Qin Ming was making a big deal out of nothing. Since Yi Zhonghai had failed to induce others to steal state property, the most he would do would be to criticize and educate him and detain him for a few days by the Security Department. There was really no need to make such a fuss. However, he had just arrived at the office, and it was difficult for him to refuse even if it was to maintain the relationship between them.

What Director Wang did not expect was that Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu came to deal with He Yuzhu, a half-grown boy of only sixteen or seventeen years old, just after what happened last night. It was simply lawless. At this time, Director Wang secretly felt lucky that if the Security Department of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill had not intervened directly and allowed Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu to continue to act like this, if any vicious incident occurred, he, as the director of the Jiaodaokou Street Office, would have an unshirkable responsibility. Therefore, Director Wang looked at Yi Zhonghai with an unusually cold look.
