Siheyuan: Buyers get rich from hunting

Chapter 369: Street Office Competition

On the other side, after listening to what Yi Zhonghai said, Yan Bugui's heart was beating like a frightened hare. He stared at Yi Zhonghai's hurried back as he walked away, and an indescribable complex emotion surged in his heart - a strong reluctance and endless expectations.

Last time the steel mill recruited workers, although his wife successfully got a job in the mill, Yan Bugui still felt uneasy and could not feel completely at ease. After all, the children in the family are gradually growing up, and if another formal employee can be added, it will undoubtedly bring more solid and reliable security to the family.

If he could get his son a job, his family would become a true "three-employee family" and they would be able to hold their heads high and feel honored in front of their neighbors. Thinking of this, Yan Bugui could not hold back his excitement and could no longer sit still on his chair.

Thinking of this, Yan Bugui was extremely anxious and could no longer tolerate a moment's delay. He jumped up from his seat and rushed home in a hurry. When he pushed open the familiar door, a strong and warm family atmosphere came over him like a spring breeze.

Inside the house, the third aunt was sitting around the dining table with her three sons and one daughter, immersed in the quietness and warmth unique to the early morning.

Seeing Yan Bugui returning so suddenly, with an anxious look on his face, the whole family could not help but stand there in a daze.

"What happened? Why are you so panicked?" Auntie asked worriedly.

Yan Bugui didn't even have time to sit down. He took a deep breath and then couldn't wait to tell the recruitment information he had just heard in detail without leaving out anything. As soon as he said this, the whole room erupted in a deafening cheer. The three aunts and two of their sons all showed ecstatic smiles on their faces, and even the daughter standing next to them couldn't help but clap her hands and cheer loudly.

"This is really great! It's simply amazing!" The third aunt stood up suddenly with excitement. She was so excited that she almost spilled the porridge in her hands. "This way, our Guangzong, Guangyao and Guangxi will have a great opportunity. We must seize this rare opportunity!"

The three sons were eager to try, unable to contain their excitement, and vowed to do their best to prepare for the exam. At this moment, the third aunt suddenly had an idea, as if she had thought of something extremely important. She turned to Yan Bugui and shouted anxiously: "Old man! Hurry up and run to the street office to find out the situation! See what the specific requirements are? We can prepare for a rainy day and make a foolproof plan in advance!"

Yan Bugui nodded repeatedly in agreement. In fact, he had already started to think about it in his mind. He knew very well that this great opportunity was of utmost importance to their family. If they wanted to grasp it, they had to make sure it was foolproof! Therefore, not only did he need to urge his sons to prepare for the exam seriously, but he himself could not just sit there and wait for death. He had to run around in person and get as much insider information as possible. Only in this way could he find ways to remove all obstacles for his sons and open up a smooth road!

In this way, Yan Bugui hurriedly ate a few mouthfuls of breakfast, briefly explained a few words to his family, and then rushed to the street office without stopping. His slightly hunched but still upright figure was stretched very long under the bright morning sun, as if carrying the heavy expectations of the whole family. And every step he took was so sonorous and unwavering, just because he knew that this journey was shouldering the sacred mission of the whole family's bright future...

Yi Zhonghai hurried out of the house, walking like the wind through the familiar but slightly narrow courtyard alley. His pace was so rapid that he seemed to be chased by time, and every step he took was accompanied by an impatient sense of urgency. The bright sunlight was like broken gold, scattered on the bluestone road surface, giving this hurried figure a layer of restlessness.

He walked hurriedly, and at the same time he did not forget to straighten his clothes, fearing that this hasty action would make him lose his grace and decorum. Finally, the eye-catching door lintel of the street office not far ahead jumped into his sight. He seemed to see the dawn of hope, and his steps became faster instantly. Just as he was about to reach out and push open the door, a faint whisper from the door was like a spell that froze him involuntarily.

The whisper had a unique timbre, the kind of low and slightly hoarse voice that belonged to Liu Haizhong. Yi Zhonghai couldn't help but feel suspicious: You know, Liu Haizhong rarely comes to the street office on weekdays! How could it be such a coincidence today? With a full heart of suspicion, he carefully reached out his hand, gently pushed open the door, and then tiptoed in.

Inside the room, Liu Haizhong was looking through a document with his head down, his brows tightly furrowed, as if he was lost in deep thought, so much so that he didn't notice Yi Zhonghai had walked in.

Yi Zhonghai stood quietly at the door, with a look of doubt and surprise in his eyes. He cleared his throat slightly and coughed slightly, hoping to attract Liu Haizhong's attention.

Sure enough, Liu Haizhong raised his head after hearing the voice, and their eyes met in the air. For a moment, it seemed as if time froze. Both sides were stunned, and then they both smiled bitterly at the same time, with a hint of embarrassment and helplessness in their smiles.

"Hey, Zhonghai, I didn't expect you to come here too?" Liu Haizhong was the first to speak and break the suffocating silence, but the tone of his voice seemed a little awkward and unnatural.

"Well, I just happened to pass by here and came in to take a look." Yi Zhonghai responded. His words seemed quite stiff, and the communication between the two was filled with an indescribable weird atmosphere.

At this moment, Yan Bugui opened the door and walked in. When he saw the situation in the room, he was startled at first, and then, like everyone else, an embarrassed smile appeared on his face. The three of them almost simultaneously turned their heads to the side, each finding a seat and slowly sitting down. The whole room was suddenly shrouded in a subtle and solemn silence.

After a long while, it was Yan Bugui who could no longer control his temper and spoke up first to break the unbearable silence: "Um... why hasn't Director Wang arrived yet?" As he spoke, he secretly observed the reactions of the other two people out of the corner of his eye, trying to ease the slightly awkward situation.

"Yeah, maybe he's still busy." Liu Haizhong echoed. At the same time, he quickly glanced at Yi Zhonghai out of the corner of his eye. His eyes seemed to convey some information, and seemed to hide some words that he wanted to say but couldn't.

Finally, Liu Haizhong couldn't hold back his inner thoughts any more, and blurted out: "Zhonghai, you get so much salary every month, why do you still force your wife to go out to work and earn money? You know, there are many people in our yard who are looking for a job! Don't you think about it...?" When he said this, his tone was obviously mixed with some cautious temptation and subtle dissatisfaction.

After hearing this, Yi Zhonghai's expression changed slightly, but he did not refute immediately. He just glanced at Liu Haizhong calmly, and then shifted his gaze to Yan Bugui on the side, and said slowly: "Teacher Yan, your family has always had formal jobs for both husband and wife. Logically speaking, your life should be quite comfortable. Why are you worried about finding a job here? Is it because you are too greedy and unsatisfied?"

Yan Bugui blushed when he was asked this question. He was about to open his mouth to explain himself, but at this moment, he heard footsteps coming from far away, and then the door was pushed open with a creak. It turned out that Director Wang walked in. This interrupted the slightly awkward and explosive conversation that was going on. The three people in the room stood up in unison, put away the emotions they had just revealed, and then stood ready to get to the point of the conversation.
