Siheyuan, my new life

Time always passes by inadvertently. As the twelfth lunar month approaches, Lin Yu becomes busy because there are more and more meetings at the Municipal Bureau that require him to attend in person.

At 2:30 in the afternoon, Lin Yu drove the jeep and slowly stopped it in the open space in front of the training ground office. There had been two heavy snowfalls in recent days. Although many units had organized people to clear the snow, a thick layer of ice and snow had formed on some roads due to the trampling and crushing of pedestrians and various vehicles. Pedestrians and bicycles had to be extra careful when passing by, otherwise they would fall down accidentally. As for cars, they were as slow as a snail. Drivers did not dare to step on the brakes, otherwise the vehicles would skid immediately.

It took Lin Yu nearly an hour to return to his workplace from the Municipal Bureau.

The Municipal Bureau held a party group meeting this morning. It was difficult for him, the nominal deputy secretary and deputy director, to be absent. However, Lin Yu basically just listened at every meeting and seldom spoke. He also talked to Director Wan that he would not interfere with the work of the Municipal Bureau at all. He only wanted to do a good job in the training base and the preparation of the concentrated solution of Guben Peiyuan Decoction.

Originally, Director Wan wanted to adjust the division of work in the Municipal Bureau. After all, Lin Yu is now the deputy secretary and deputy director of the Municipal Bureau, ranking third, only below Director Wan and Deputy Director Yao. However, every time the matter of work adjustment was mentioned, Lin Yu directly refused, and finally Director Wan had to give up.

This morning's meeting didn't end until after eleven o'clock. Originally, Lin Yu planned to return directly to the training base, but Director Wan and Deputy Director Yao insisted on keeping him in the city bureau's canteen for a couple of drinks.

Since returning from visiting relatives in Tianjin, Lin Yu has gradually started to relax his drinking capacity. After all, his "feat" of drinking in Tianjin will sooner or later be known in Beijing. Instead of being talked about behind his back, it is better to take the initiative. So from then on, Lin Yu's amazing drinking capacity gradually spread.

This afternoon, I accompanied the two directors to the small canteen of the Municipal Bureau, and each of us drank a bottle of Fenjiu before driving the jeep away from the Municipal Bureau.

As soon as I walked into the office, I felt a wave of heat rushing towards me. There was a large stove burning in the desk. As soon as I entered the door, I could hear the roar of flames burning in the furnace.

With Li Huaide, the deputy director in charge of logistics at the steel rolling mill, the coal used in the forging furnace is burned in the offices of all leaders. As for the leaders' homes, there is certainly no omission. There are more than one ton of coal piled up in the west wing where Lin Yu lives alone.

At this time, Qin Ming and four other deputy directors were already waiting in the office. Lin Yu had called the Municipal Bureau in advance to notify them of a meeting at 2 pm.

Su Yu took the military coat that Lin Yu had just taken off, hung it on the coat rack, and quickly brought over a cup of hot tea.

After Lin Yu took the tea and thanked them in a low voice, he said to the people sitting around the tea table: "I'm sorry, I was invited to have two drinks by the two leaders of the Municipal Bureau at noon today. I kept you waiting for a long time."

Everyone just smiled indifferently. It is very normal for subordinates to wait for their leaders to attend meetings these days. If the leaders were to wait for their subordinates, it would be a lot of fun.

Lin Yu took out his work notes from his bag, threw them on the desk, and said directly: "I will now convey the main spirit of today's meeting of the Municipal Bureau. After receiving instructions from the city, various regions have recently reported that as the twelfth lunar month approaches, many black markets in the city have become more rampant. Not only are large quantities of food, meat and other daily necessities resold, but there have even been a lot of transactions of guns and ammunition. After a long period of investigation, the relevant departments have found that there are traces of enemy agents behind many black markets."

After hearing Lin Yu's words, everyone immediately stopped smiling. Since this was about enemy spies, everyone became serious.

Lin Yu lit a cigarette and continued, "In order to completely eliminate these enemy agents hiding behind, the Municipal Bureau has decided to carry out a unified clearing operation against all black markets tomorrow night. The Dongcheng District Branch will cooperate with our steel rolling mill security department. Comrades, our city commando has been officially established, but it has not been officially unveiled. This time, it is a mule or a horse that is pulled out for a stroll. I now order Qin Ming and Guan Dajiang to lead the first team plus 50 security guards, Xiong Qingshan and Wang Shengli to lead the second team plus 50 security guards, and Zhang Shangwu and I to lead the third team plus 50 security guards. When Director Hu Dahai of the branch comes over tomorrow morning, we will hold a meeting to assign our respective areas. When we take action tomorrow night, comrades from the branch will be responsible for the peripheral alert and arrest work. Our task is to capture and eliminate the organizers of the black market and the enemy agents behind them as quickly as possible. From now on, the commando will enter a state of combat readiness. The security guards participating in the operation are mainly selected from the security department. You will confirm the list this afternoon and use the reason of participating in special training to the outside world."

After Lin Yu finished speaking, Qin Ming said, "Secretary, you should take the lead in this operation. It will be enough for us to lead the team."

Lin Yu waved his hand: "I'm so idle that my bones are almost rusted. Okay, let me give you two last reminders. First, keep it confidential. I don't need to say anything more about this. Second, pay attention to safety. As for the organizers behind the black market, try to catch them alive to facilitate the investigation later. But if there is an emergency, just shoot them directly."

Everyone agreed loudly and solemnly. Lin Yu glanced at his watch and continued, "Mr. Zhang, please take care of the personnel selection." Zhang Shangwu nodded seriously and agreed.

Then Lin Yu looked at Su Yu who was taking notes at the meeting, and said, "Su Yu, notify He Daqing in the canteen to have them work overtime to prepare an extra 150 meals for the staff tomorrow night. Also, after the operation is over, the comrades must have a hot meal. Oh, and you also have to notify the logistics department to prepare enough white towels. Everyone should tie one on their left arm during the operation."

After Su Yu agreed loudly, Lin Yu continued to look at the directors: "Don't collect weapons and ammunition at the Security Department, so as not to attract the attention of those with ulterior motives. All weapons and ammunition are collected in the warehouse on the training ground."

Suddenly there was a knock on the door, and Lin Yu said directly: "Come in."

After the office door was opened, a security guard in charge of the gate entered, saluted, and reported loudly: "Director Hu Dahai of the Dongcheng District Branch is in the guard room."

Lin Yu replied, "Let him come in alone." Then he waved at Qin Ming who was about to speak, "You all go back and hurry up to prepare. Remember, this is the first official appearance of the City Commando. I hope to achieve good results."

Several directors obviously heard something unusual from Lin Yu's instructions just now. They all stood up and walked out of the secretary's office one by one.
