Siheyuan, my new life

Qin Ming walked out of the warehouse. He had already learned from the clerk Su Yu that the call was from the Dongcheng District Grain Bureau. The caller claimed to be the deputy director of the Dongcheng District Grain Bureau office, and his name was Liu Chengzhi.

Qin Ming shook his head helplessly. This Liu Chengzhi was once his comrade-in-arms in the same army, but they had little contact after they retired. Liu Chengzhi was the deputy director of the popular Grain Bureau's office. Although they were both at the deputy division level, he was obviously more valued and sought after than himself, the deputy director of the security department of the steel rolling mill. After all, food, clothing, housing and transportation were related to the daily lives of too many people, especially after the implementation of the ticket system, the importance of the Grain Bureau was unquestionable. He suddenly came to him today, definitely to ask for meat. It was estimated that Liu Chengzhi must have called his office first, and then followed him here.

Although no one from the food system was training at the Security Department's training base, Qin Ming was not too surprised that they were able to get the news so quickly. After all, today's society is based on personal relationships.

Walking into the secretary's office, Qin Ming grabbed the microphone on the desk and said with a smile: "Director Liu, I wonder what you want to tell me in such a hurry?"

Liu Chengzhi on the other end of the phone was in a very complicated mood. Although they were both deputy director-level before, he was the deputy director of the office of the Grain Bureau, and how could he be compared with the deputy director of the security department of a steel rolling mill? Therefore, Liu Chengzhi was not too close to this ordinary comrade before, but after all, they were transferred from the same army, so they maintained a normal relationship.

But who could have thought that Qin Ming suddenly emerged as a rising star and quietly became the director of the security department of the steel rolling mill, and it was also said that he was highly appreciated by his immediate superior. You know, Lin Yu's existence was no secret to various departments in Dongcheng District.

When people first heard that a colonel, deputy division-level officer who was less than 30 years old, had transferred to the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill as director of the Security Department, and that he was a deputy bureau-level officer who was only given an additional nominal position as deputy director of the Dongcheng District Branch, many people privately speculated about this arrangement that was clearly out of the ordinary, wondering if he had made a mistake in the army and was therefore appointed like this.

Everyone just talked about it casually for a few days and no one brought it up again. After all, there are a lot of new things happening every moment in both government agencies and enterprises, and everyone's attention quickly shifted to other things that interest them.

But within a few days, Comrade Lin Yu once again became the focus of everyone's discussion. Lin Yu, who had only been in office for a few days, was suddenly appointed as the deputy secretary and deputy director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau and director of the Security Department of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, with an administrative level of a full bureau level.

This sudden appointment quickly attracted the attention of those people, and some people curiously asked around about the background of Deputy Director Lin Yu.

One has to admit that these guys who can hang around in government agencies have intricate interpersonal relationships that are jaw-dropping, not to mention their personal work abilities. As these guys inquired, a lot of information about Comrade Lin Yu was also known to everyone.

Lin Yu's achievements in the army were amazing, but what everyone talked about more was that Lin Yu had just taken office and brazenly mobilized the troops to arrest Lou Zhenhua and the two deputy directors of the Red Star Steel Mill. The secretary and director of the steel mill were also arrested at the same time. Everyone was not very interested in the arrest of those secretaries and directors, and their attention was focused on Lou Zhenhua, who was known as Lou Bancheng.

Speaking of which unit's leader, perhaps many people don't know, but when it comes to the famous Lou Zhenhua, it is estimated that at least one-third of the people in the city have heard of this name. After all, he is too rich. It is said that nearly half of the business in the city was owned by the Lou family, so there is the nickname of Lou Bancheng. However, such a famous big man was arrested directly by Lin Yu. It is said that it has been confirmed that Lou Zhenhua will be publicly executed soon.

Liu Chengzhi worked as deputy director of the office at the Dongcheng District Grain Bureau, so of course he had heard about these things. If he hadn't had a comrade named Qin Ming who worked as deputy director of the Security Department of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, he would have had no interest in listening to these things. After all, they were not from the same system, and had nothing to do with each other, so he didn't take it to heart.

Who would have thought that just a few days later another piece of news came out that almost made Liu Chengzhi drop his jaw in shock. Qin Ming, whom he had never taken seriously, was actually appointed as the director of the Security Department of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill. The person who directly recommended him for the position was Lin Yu, the deputy secretary of the Municipal Bureau, deputy director and secretary of the Security Department of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill. Yes, it was Lin Yu who recommended Qin Ming to be the director of the Security Department, responsible for all daily work, while Secretary Lin Yu only managed the work of the training base.

When Liu Chengzhi heard the news, his eyes were red with envy. Why couldn't he meet such a good leader? It sounds like there is only a difference of one level from deputy director to director, but only people in the system know the huge difference.

To be honest, if the director wasn't sitting in his office, Liu Chengzhi really didn't want to make this call today.

Hearing Qin Ming's cheerful words coming from the microphone, Liu Chengzhi quickly smiled and said, "Old comrade, I just heard that you have been promoted to the director of the Security Department of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill. When can we old comrades get together? You are the first director-level leader among us, so we should celebrate together, right?"

Qin Ming knew that the other party just wanted to have a meal together in the name of celebration, and then put forward his own needs at the table. They were all old comrades, so how could he refuse? Thinking of the current work unit, although there is now support from the city and several superior units, the Security Department Training Base has not yet experienced a shortage of food, meat and other supplies, but for long-term considerations in the future, it is still necessary to maintain a good relationship with these powerful units.

So Qin Ming smiled and said, "Old Liu, we are old comrades. If you have any questions, just ask me. I will never refuse to help you. Let's talk about getting together later. Our secretary is on leave to visit his family and I can't get away from here."

Liu Chengzhi glanced at the director who had already walked to the desk, and saw that he nodded slightly at him, so he smiled and said: "Old comrade, since you can't leave, let's wait for a chance to get together again. Let's not beat around the bush. Our unit heard that you hunted a lot of game there. Can you give us some?"
