Siheyuan: Pushing Huairu, the Prime Minister admits defeat

After finishing their meal at the state-owned restaurant, Li Weijun took Qin Huairu and others for a drive near Zhengyangmen. As the road was too narrow and cramped, and the roadside was not as brightly lit and dark as in later generations, someone might come out of the alley at any time and be hit.

So after Li Weijun had a quick meal, in order to avoid congestion in the alley, he parked his jeep in the parking garage specially designated by the street office.

Although it was unclear what had happened in a short period of time, Wang Chunmei, director of the subdistrict office, keenly noticed the abnormality due to her many years of experience in the ups and downs of officialdom.

Zhang Yunzhen gave Li Weijun the green light and served him attentively with a smile on his face.

After the group entered the front yard, Li Weijun discovered that the thinner iron wires in his room had been replaced with thick copper wires. He no longer had to worry about the risk of tripping caused by running electrical appliances under heavy load in the short term.

Wang Chunmei decided to place the transformer not far from the courtyard as quickly as possible. In this way, it would be easy to run the air conditioner, television, and refrigerator for a long time.

However, this costs a lot and requires a report to the higher authorities before it can be approved.

"What? You want to replace the transformer just for my personal matter? That's a bit too much trouble."

Li Weijun couldn't help but frown. The industrial foundation was weak and the transformer was very expensive. Besides, things like air conditioners did not have such high requirements for voltage.

Ordinary household voltage is fully sufficient for operation, and installing a transformer is an unnecessary expense.

"Yes, of course I don't need it, Weijun. You don't know. The electricity in our Nanluoguxiang is so weak that we often can't even turn on the light bulbs. The night before yesterday, during the peak electricity consumption period, it was the same whether the light bulbs were turned on or not. Even the candles didn't light up. It's all thanks to you. If we installed a transformer in Nanluoguxiang, everyone would definitely be grateful to you. Wouldn't this be more conducive to unity?"

Li Weijun was very clear about the hidden meaning in Wang Chunmei's words.

A little guess would make it clear that everyone in the courtyard was happy with this matter.

Unlike private gadgets like air conditioners and refrigerators, after installing the transformer, other surrounding streets and alleys can no longer compete with Siheyuan Nanluoguxiang for electricity. During the peak electricity consumption in summer, there is no need to worry about power outages.

This can be regarded as Li Weijun's contribution to Nanluoguxiang, so after hesitating for a moment, Li Weijun did not refuse, but nodded and acquiesced to this behavior.

Wang Chunmei was naturally overjoyed when she saw this situation. As a shrewd old fox, how could she not know the importance of seizing the opportunity and finding the right backer?

He quickly showed off his afternoon's work to Zhang Yunzhen who was standing next to him.

The two rooms at the back had fallen into disrepair and were too damp because no one had used them for many years, making them completely uninhabitable.

As a result, after receiving the instructions, Wang Chunmei took the masons and painters to renovate the backyard house in just one afternoon.

All the original rotten and broken tiles were covered with the best asbestos tiles. Although it was a bit too hasty and sloppy, it was not like before, with heavy rain outside and moderate rain inside. They even opened a skylight to prevent moisture.

As for the walls that were originally covered with stains and moss, they were quickly painted. Although they have not dried yet, it is estimated that they will be safe to move in after tomorrow morning.

As for tonight, we can temporarily stay in the room provided by the street office.

Wang Chunmei had thought carefully and thoughtfully about the bedding, beds, tables, chairs, benches, brooms, and some other miscellaneous gadgets.

This tough guy, who is known for his strength in Nanluoguxiang, has impeccable efficiency and ability to do things.

"Comrades, now everything is ready. Tomorrow, we will set up the stove. Then the back house will be no different from home. Although these two back houses are not well-lit, after installing bright glass and opening the skylight, the house will be much brighter."

Wang Chunmei was all smiles, obviously very satisfied with her achievements.

Zhang Yunzhen and Yi Lei were military men, so they didn't attach much importance to these material possessions. As long as they could live there and had a place to stay so they could sense any disturbance at any time, that was enough.

So when he saw Wang Chunmei being too attentive, he was not surprised at all. He flatly rejected Wang Chunmei's invitation tonight and said coldly: "Director Wang, there is no need for the specially prepared single room for rest. We will temporarily stay in the car tonight to deal with emergencies. In addition, the matter of lighting the hot pot in the kitchen..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Weijun hurriedly said, "No, it's good to have a kitchen to light a fire. If you don't need it, I'll need these two back rooms after the mission is over. One will be used as a kitchen and living room, and the other will be used to entertain friends and guests, as a simple lounge."

Li Weijun had been coveting these two reverse-sitting rooms for a long time. If nothing unexpected happened, Li Huaide would give them to him as a reward after he purchased the internal reference films from Shanghai.

What’s even better is that there is no need for Li Huaide to operate now.

Besides, the escort and bodyguard missions performed by Zhang Yunzhen and Yi Lei are only temporary. They might be withdrawn one day after it is confirmed that there is no risk.

By then, this upstairs room will inevitably belong to Li Weijun, so he might as well take this opportunity to install all the necessary decorations once and for all to avoid wasting energy in the future.

Zhang Yunzhen and Yi Lei had no objection to this. Their family lived in the military compound and they could not be too picky or demanding about their temporary place to stay.

Yan Bugui, who always wanted to interrupt, suddenly understood Li Weijun's intention. He was envious and began to doubt the identities of Zhang Yunzhen, Yi Lei and others.

Sometimes curiosity kills the cat, and it is true that Yan Bugui's sneaky moves had already been noticed by the ever-vigilant Zhang Yunzhen.

I couldn't help but doubt his identity. If I remembered correctly, this person seemed to always be able to see it. Could it be that this person had evil intentions?

Yan Bugui was not aware at the moment that he had become the target of the guards. He finally took advantage of the moment when Qin Huairu returned to the Central Courtyard and Wang Chunmei was silent, and stepped forward and spoke.

"Weijun, I talked to Teacher Ran this afternoon and told her that you were back. Teacher Ran asked me to bring movie tickets for tomorrow afternoon. Do you think it's possible..."

"Ran Qiuye?"

Li Weijun was stunned for a moment, and instantly understood that it must be this old fox who tipped off Ran Qiuye in the afternoon. It was indeed difficult to refuse an invitation from a beautiful woman.
