Siheyuan, my new life

Chapter 37 Moving into a New Home

Song Jiefang looked at Wu Hongjun opposite him speechlessly. If in Song Jiefang's eyes before, Wu Hongjun was a capable general who was outspoken, daring and fighting, then the Wu Hongjun sitting in front of him now was a reckless, impulsive and leaderless fool.

No one knows how Wu Hongjun became the deputy director of the Security Department. On the first day of his boss's appointment, he openly threatened his boss by condoning and instigating his subordinates to gather and cause trouble.

From the first time he saw Lin Yu today, Song Jiefang felt that this was an extremely strong person. Facts also proved his judgment. Lin Yu actually ruined the welcome banquet arranged for him because of the intimidation of the steel rolling mill leader.

According to Song Jiefang's own understanding, even if Lin Yu was unhappy today, he had to hold his nose and swallow his anger and finish the welcome banquet obediently. After all, a strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake. But Lin Yu did not save face for the leaders of the steel mill at all. You know, the people present almost covered all the middle-level and above leaders of the steel mill.

Song Jiefang really didn't understand, was Lin Yu just young and energetic or was he confident and unscrupulous?

Lin Yu didn't even give face to dozens of leading cadres at the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill. You, Wu Hongjun, dared to threaten him face to face on the first day he took office. If he doesn't punish you, who will he punish? It is said that you don't punish the diligent or the lazy, but only the blind. Wu Hongjun is just walking into the gun.

If Wu Hongjun had some understanding of struggle strategies, he would not have put such things on the table in public, but would have secretly let his trusted subordinates work together to put pressure on Lin Yu, while he himself would hide behind to avoid retaliation from Lin Yu.

In this case, Lin Yu might give up on replacing the staff of the Security Department in order to calm things down and avoid the scandal of his subordinates causing collective riots due to inappropriate measures just after taking office.

However, Song Jiefang thought again about Lin Yu's strong style. Even if Wu Hongjun could really unite all his subordinates, Lin Yu would probably not give in. The most likely possibility was that he would take tough measures directly.

If that kind of situation really happens, if the higher-ups want to hold people accountable, then Guo Sanhu and I will not be able to escape. After all, according to Lin Yu, the public-private partnership has been going on for such a long time. As the deputy director in charge of the security department, you, Wu Hongjun, have seriously neglected your duties and have not actively trained your subordinates. When the new director asked for an assessment of all staff, the people in the security department actually took the extreme measure of gathering and making trouble to resist the normal assessment. This is unacceptable. In other words, Lin Yu was just performing his duties. In addition to dealing with Wu Hongjun, the main person responsible, Guo Sanhu and I also have to bear the responsibility. In a nutshell, Wu Hongjun's suspension was entirely his own fault. In addition to the phone call with Deputy Minister Xu just now, it is already very clear what to do.

Thinking of this, Song Jiefang's eyes became extremely cold when he looked at Wu Hongjun, and he said indifferently: "Comrade Wu Hongjun, since Director Lin has decided to suspend and investigate you, I hope you can actively cooperate. Now you should go back and prepare for the investigation of you by the higher authorities tomorrow." After that, he waved at the other party, as if he was chasing away a fly.

Wu Hongjun never expected that Song Jiefang would so coldly kick him out. He couldn't understand why, last time they were drinking together, Song Jiefang had vowed that he had recommended him to the leaders of the Ministry of Industry to take over the position of director of the Security Department and asked him to wait for good news.

But now everything has changed dramatically. A new director of the Security Department has taken office, but it is not me. Instead, I have been suspended and is under investigation.

Wu Hongjun walked out of the factory office building dejectedly. The originally warm autumn wind blew on his body, and he couldn't help but shiver. Then he realized that winter was approaching.

Lin Yu drove the jeep quickly on the road leading to the Dongcheng District Branch. Someone in his previous life said that the scenery in Beijing in late autumn was the most beautiful time of the year. Unfortunately, Lin Yu had no time to go sightseeing now. He knew very well that the days ahead would be very fulfilling.

The jeep stopped steadily in front of the office building of the Dongcheng District Branch. Although Lin Yu had not been to the branch many times, the security guard had already remembered the appearance of the new deputy director and was even more impressed by his Willys Jeep with a military license plate. Therefore, there would be no joke of the deputy director being stopped by the security guard when entering his workplace.

After getting off the car, Lin Yu walked into the office building. The public security personnel he met along the way saluted and greeted him, and Lin Yu returned the salutes with a smile.

By now, all the police officers in the Dongcheng District Branch know that there is a new young deputy director in the bureau. Although most people have only seen the deputy director from a distance, that young and handsome face is still firmly remembered in their hearts. Several unmarried young girls are even more attracted to him and are intentionally or unintentionally asking about the new deputy director.

As soon as I reached Hu Dahai's office at the eastern end of the third floor, Hu Dahai appeared at the door with a smile on his face. When he heard Lin Yu's voice in the corridor, Hu Dahai immediately stood up and went to the door to wait for his arrival.

Hu Dahai grinned and said, "I called your office twice this afternoon, but no one answered. I knew you must be busy today, so I was planning to wait for Wang Bo to bring the key to you later, but I didn't expect you to come by yourself."

Lin Yu smiled and said: "It's just a few steps away. I can come and get it myself. I don't want to trouble Wang Bo to make a trip."

Hu Dahai waved his hand nonchalantly: "Wang Bo's main job is to provide logistical support for the leaders of our bureau. If you have anything to do in the future, just hand it over to him. This guy knows a lot of people from all walks of life, so it's really convenient to hand it over to him."

Having lived two lives, Lin Yu's social experience certainly makes him clear that the county magistrate is not as good as the current manager. To be honest, sometimes it is more convenient to hand over things that the leaders are not convenient to deal with directly to people like Wang Bo.

While they were talking, they had already walked into Hu Dahai's office. After sitting down on the sofa, Hu Dahai picked up the teapot and poured tea for Lin Yu. Then they lit cigarettes and chatted casually for a few words. Lin Yu introduced to Hu Dahai the rectification and cleanup work that the Security Department of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill would start tomorrow. After all, no matter what, the other party was the head of the Dongcheng District Branch, and there were some face-saving matters that had to be explained.

Obviously, Hu Dahai was very happy that Lin Yu took the initiative to inform him of his recent work arrangements. Now he knew that in addition to being responsible for the work of the Security Department of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, Lin Yu also shouldered important tasks in the military and the Ministry of Public Security. Hu Dahai would never take the initiative to inquire if Lin Yu didn't mention it. As a soldier, he knew very well that it was better not to be too curious about some things. After all, curiosity killed the cat.

Through Lin Yu's recent work arrangements, Hu Dahai has realized that Lin Yu is preparing for the next task. Although he is not clear about the specific task, Lin Yu must take control of the Security Department of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill as soon as possible, and the unstable factors within must also be cleared up.

Since Hu Dahai has already decided to get closer to Lin Yu, he must show something at this time. After all, the effect of providing timely assistance is far greater than icing on the cake.

So Hu Dahai immediately said that he could select a group of experienced police officers from the bureau to go to the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill starting tomorrow to assist the Security Department in its political review work.

Of course, this was something Lin Yu had been hoping for. He hoped that the personnel within the Security Department could be rectified and cleared out as soon as possible so that he could proceed to the next step of work as soon as possible.

The two chatted for a few more sentences, and then Lin Yu took the key to the new house and left. Hu Dahai knew that today was Lin Yu's first day living in the new house and many things needed to be sorted out and settled, so he agreed to hold a banquet for Lin Yu to warm up the pot after a few days of work.

After leaving the Dongcheng District Branch, Lin Yu drove directly to the courtyard house at No. 95 Nanluoguxiang without delay. However, he did not go through the gate of the courtyard house, but drove the jeep directly into the dead end.

But now it can no longer be called a dead end. The debris and garbage that were originally piled up in the alley have now been cleaned up. From a distance, you can see a new gate more than three meters wide opened on the opposite wall. Lin Yu stopped the car three or four meters away from the gate.

The so-called gate is actually just a hole in the courtyard wall, and then a door pier about forty to fifty centimeters square is built on each side, and then two large vermilion wooden doors are installed. So a gate that can allow jeeps to enter and exit appears in front of you, and above the gate, an arch is thoughtfully built with blue bricks and covered with emerald green glazed tiles, which not only can shelter the gate from wind and rain as much as possible, but also looks much more beautiful from a distance.

Lin Yu was very satisfied with the door in front of him. The vermilion paint on the door had not yet dried, and it was obvious that the wooden door was just made today.

Wang Bo, the office director, is indeed quite capable. In particular, the road beneath his feet is paved with thick green bricks, stretching from the entrance of the alley to the edge of the courtyard wall. This avoids the alley from becoming muddy on rainy and snowy days.

Lin Yu took out the key to unlock the fist-sized door, and carefully opened the door, fearing that he would touch the paint that had not yet dried. Then he got back in the car, drove into the yard, and got out to close the gate.

After getting out of the car and walking towards the main house, Lin Yu unlocked the door and began to look around. Although he could instantly understand everything through his spiritual sense, it would lose a lot of fun. After all, this would be the place where he would live for many years, and it was also his real home in this world.
