Siheyuan: I can always stay out of it

Chen Xu felt somewhat flattered, and also a little regretful that he had no choice.

After all, he really didn't think so much about it at the beginning, and now it's almost beyond his expectations.

Returning to the office, Chen Xu took off the medal and the big red flower on his chest. Looking at the medal in his hand, he felt that he seemed a little pretentious. He smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Why think so much? It's not a bad thing after all.

Following Chen Xu in were Lin Chan and Xu Damao.

Xu Damao was a little incoherent.

"Brother, you are rich..."

"It's just luck, it's just a small thing."

Xu Damao was speechless. What you said has the potential to be Versailles.

This is exactly what Chen Xuzhen thought. There are so many enemy spies and agents now, and a few of them are caught every now and then. He was just lucky enough to catch a few big fish.

However, the good days of these guys are coming to an end. When the wind blows, they basically kill everyone they made mistakes of, causing great trouble to the whole country, and at the same time, all the enemy agents and spies are wiped out.

Chen Xu did not leave the steel mill after explaining his responsibilities as usual. There was a lunch party at noon, and Li Huaide said it was a simple celebration banquet for Chen Xu.

Compared to usual times when most of the people who came for dinner were Li Huaide’s people, this time all the main leaders of the entire factory came.

Director Yang looked at Chen Xu with a complicated look. In fact, apart from Chen Xu himself, the one who benefited the most from his contribution was Director Yang. No matter what, he was the top boss of the steel mill.

When Director Yang thought that Chen Xu was Li Huaide's man, he felt a little regretful. It would be even better if Chen Xu was on his side.

But it's too late to say anything now. Chen Xu's current status is no longer someone he can easily win over, not to mention that the other person's background is not small at all.

Director Yang and Li Huaide didn't know what the relationship between Chen Xu and the old man was, but the existence of such a relationship was at least very intimidating. He was the director of the Public Security Bureau of Sijiu City, a ministerial-level leader, not to mention a founding major general.

Coupled with the honors Chen Xu has won now, he can almost walk around freely in a unit like a steel rolling mill.

The residents of the courtyard no longer felt jealous of Chen Xu.

People who are stronger than you may still feel jealous, but if they are from a completely different dimension, you can only envy them. What's more, the plaque on the Chen family's gate can really scare away gods and ghosts.

And no matter what, Chen Xu is also a member of the Siheyuan. Although the Red Star Siheyuan has indeed made a lot of jokes in the past two years, with the great god Chen Xu in charge, the reputation of the Siheyuan has miraculously improved.

People lament that one courtyard can support a variety of people, including heroic figures like Chen Xu and second-time labor camp inmates like Sha Zhu. Life is truly diverse.

Shazhu was inexplicably caught in the crossfire.

Now when people talk about Chen Xu's glorious deeds, they don't forget to drag out Sha Zhu to whip his corpse, thinking that this guy, as a neighbor, is completely discrediting Chen Xu.

Sha Zhu was a little depressed. He was not completely brainless. Although his IQ dropped sharply when facing Qin Huairu, he was still a normal person in normal times. Moreover, people did not avoid him when talking about certain things, and many even spoke in a sarcastic manner in front of him.

Sha Zhu no longer had any intention of competing with Chen Xu. He even felt that he was not worthy.

He Daqing came to the backyard and looked at Shazhu, who was sitting on the doorstep, smoking and looking at the plaque on the Chen family's door. He sighed and patted his shoulder.

"Don't think too much. Chen Xu is not comparable to ordinary people..."

"Ah."

Sha Zhu responded, but he still felt a little uncomfortable.

He was also someone who had seen Chen Xu soar to success. He had watched the entire process yesterday when the senior leader came to the courtyard to present the first prize to Chen Xu. It was so glorious, something he had never dared to imagine in his dreams.

Everyone believed that Chen Xu's first-class merit was earned at the cost of his life. After all, the spy must have had a gun, not to mention that it was Chen Xu who arrested him personally. No one would believe him if he said there was no danger at all.

Sha Zhu also thought so, and secretly admired Chen Xu for not fearing death. If he met a spy with a gun, it would be hard to say whether he would dare to attack him.

He is just reckless, not indestructible. His fists and feet may be okay, but bullets have no eyes. They can make a hole in the wall. If he is not careful, he will have to take the credit.

Now even Sha Zhu admits that Chen Xu's character is impeccable, although Chen Xu doesn't care at all what Sha Zhu thinks of him.

Liu Haizhong, who lives next door to the Chen family, has once again returned to his workaholic state.

It was as if he was venting all the unpleasant things at home, and he swung the hammer very vigorously while working.

Old Liu was stimulated by Chen Xu. Chen Xu was a man who liked to be in the limelight. There was no need to think about catching enemy spies. Liu Haizhong once again remembered the words that Chen Xu had advised him when they were drinking together.

Now it seems to make sense. If Old Liu wants to be successful, he has to work hard. As Chen Xu said, Liu Haizhongxin is now thinking about swinging a hammer to knock out an eighth-level worker.

He is not young anymore, and these few years are probably his last chance. People's physical fitness will decline with age, let alone someone like him who does physical work.

If you don't seize the time, your condition will decline in a few years and you won't have another chance.

If he could be promoted to a level eight technician, Liu Haizhong felt that he would have brought honor to his family.

Qin Jingru left.

She didn't expect that she would be able to see Chen Xu in such a glorious moment when she left.

Chen Xu is undoubtedly a good man, but unfortunately he is not hers.

Qin Jingru also let go of her last obsession. Qin Huairu felt a little sorry for her cousin. She had always known Qin Jingru's little thoughts, but she also knew very well that Chen Xu, the straight man, would not give Qin Jingru any chance at all.

The gap between the two of them is now so big that it is out of reach, not to mention that Chen Xu has already married and has children.

Qin Huairu prepared a lot of things for her cousin and asked her to help bring some things to her parents in her hometown. After all, her parents' home was Qin Huairu's last resort.

Finally, Qin Huairu handed Qin Jingru a hundred yuan, a stack of large black bills.

"Sister, I don't want it."

"Take it. I'm not short of money. Besides, you're not young anymore. You should have some money on you. Just consider it as your dowry..."

Qin Huairu was telling the truth. She had quite a bit of savings, and with her job and extra income, she made money quickly, so she didn't care that much about money.

The most important thing is that she feels that she is actually very lonely. She has lived in the courtyard house for more than ten years and there is no one she can really talk to. Although she often interacts with the residents of the courtyard house, most of the time she has normal interactions with neighbors.

The girl Qin Jingru who had the best relationship with her in her hometown was her. When Qin Huairu saw the young and beautiful Qin Jingru now, she felt as if she saw herself before she got married.

It is not difficult for me to make money now, but it is different for Qin Jingru. When she returns to her hometown, she basically has no channel to make money, and the work points she earns are just enough to make a living.

The two sisters hugged each other and cried for a while at the gate of the courtyard. Qin Huairu wanted to see her cousin off, but was rejected by Qin Jingru.

Turning her head to look at the courtyard where she had spent quite a while, Qin Jingru laughed inexplicably. This was also good. If Chen Xu really accepted her, he would no longer be the Big Brother Chen in her mind.

This unrequited love was at least a beautiful thing worth remembering in her life. Qin Jingru turned around and left with the package.

I'm leaving. When you become successful, will you occasionally think of the girl who once loved you?
