Siheyuan, I want to lie down but I become a tool

Zhang Xingwang went to work with his second brother-in-law in the morning. After arriving at the unit, his team members were all out on field work. Zhang Xingwang thought about it and went to find Director Qi.

It turned out that my good brother was not there. I was wondering if he was late, but then I heard his voice in Director Wang's office next door.

It just so happened that both of them were there, so there was no need to make an extra trip. After knocking on the door and entering, Director Wang instantly smiled and subconsciously prepared to draw the curtains.

Zhang Xingwang reluctantly stopped Director Wang and said directly:

"It's rare that you two are together. I just want to ask Liu Junming from my team about the house."

After hearing this, Director Qi immediately stopped smiling and said seriously:

"It's time to think about a house for Xiao Liu. They've been married for half a year. How can he live in the woman's house? If you don't know, you might think he's looking for a son-in-law."

Director Wang nodded in agreement and said casually:

"We should really consider it, but our housing situation is really tight, and there are people who are in a worse situation than him. At least he still has a place to live, while Xiao Song has been living in the dormitory for a year!"

Zhang Xingwang was too tired to complain about Director Wang. Why did he mention Xiao Song every other sentence? Did that girl take Director Wang's child to look at the well? Are they so grudgeful?

However, thinking that Director Qi alone had no say in the matter of the house, and Director Wang had to agree, Zhang Xingwang took out the documents in his hand and said to Director Wang:

"Director, there are still two vacant units. Please be so kind as to rent them to my team member!"

After hearing this, Director Wang waved his hand and said:

Xingwang, your brother-in-law has a place to live, right? These two apartments have already been taken, and one of them has even been called by a leader to let him stay. Xiao Liu is also from our street office, so he has to show his style.”

Zhang Xingwang watched Director Wang's performance and thought that he should just cooperate with him. If he really wanted to promote his style, half of the people on the street would probably have to move away.

"Director Wang, please think of a solution. After all, it's already available. If you have any difficulties, I can think of a solution..."

Director Wang burst into laughter instantly, and then said jokingly:

"You say that as if I'm blackmailing you."

After finishing speaking, he continued to speak:

"How can I not care about the people in our unit? Aunt Wang has her own difficulties!"

Zhang Xingwang felt that Director Wang had gone too far this time. After all, you can’t just listen to what a person says, you have to see what he does. It just so happened that Director Wang said more than he did this time…

Seeing that Zhang Xingwang didn't respond, Director Wang didn't care and continued to test:

"Xingwang, how long has it been since you went hunting?"

Zhang Xingwang was somewhat prepared this time, and replied calmly:

"Director, I'm too busy to go hunting. Please take some time to go to the mountains. There's nothing left to eat. There are only quiet servants on the mountainside."

While Director Wang was still thinking about what to say, Zhang Xingwang looked at Director Qi who had begun to close his eyes and rest. Without giving Director Wang a chance to speak, he casually replied:

"Then let him get in line, so as not to delay the two leaders' conversation!"

After saying that, he said goodbye. The moment he closed the door, he saw his good brother gave him a smile that said "That's right".

After coming back, Zhang Xingwang thought about it for a while, thinking that at most he could go to Jichun a few days later, and then started to slack off in the office.

Director Wang didn’t find out that Zhang Xingwang had become a bad kid until the third day. Just now, the person in charge of the canteen came over to report that they would be out of food the day after tomorrow. Then Director Wang, who felt he had won the game, started to get anxious!

He went directly to Director Qi's office and asked:

"Did you do something bad? That kid wasn't like this before, but now he threatens people!"

"I didn't teach him not to say anything that is not conducive to unity..."

"You thought I didn't see you smiling at that kid when he left the house!"

"I'm just being polite. You know my wife is pregnant with her second child. I've been having problems with my mouth lately..."

"I don't care, he's your soldier, you have to solve this matter!"

Director Qi rolled his eyes when he heard this. He thought to himself, "I didn't have time to teach you. How about I learn from you now?" Then he adjusted his mindset and said earnestly:

"Sister Wang, we have to see the situation clearly. In my opinion, it's a good thing that the food in the cafeteria is worse. Think about it, the rations of the whole city have been lowered several times. Is it appropriate for us to still have dry rice for every meal?"

Director Wang's momentum obviously dropped after hearing this, but he still argued:

"How can I not understand what you said? Our food supply can be reduced, but the extra money can be used to help the elderly and widows. Besides, he is also in charge of purchasing, so this is all part of his job!"

"You also know how difficult it is to get food now. You can't even take care of yourself, and you still want to help others?"

"So you mean we should store the food?"

"That's not the case. What I mean is that it's only a matter of time before he buys less. We have to get used to it. Maybe he really can't buy it this time. There's nothing strange about it. You know the situation outside. I guess he won't be able to take on this purchasing job for long..."

After hearing this, Director Wang replied angrily:

"After talking for so long, you must have given him some advice. I will sign the contract for the house soon, and I won't look for that guy anymore. I will come to you to get the fish after I sign..."

Director Qi was dumbfounded after hearing this, and he stood up and replied:

"Sister Wang, why are you so unreasonable? What does this have to do with me..."

"I don't care. Who told you to call me Sister Wang? What's the point of talking about elder sister and younger brother? You decide the number..."

"You can't afford to play..."

"Xingwang, this is the situation. You know what's going on. I didn't teach you a word from beginning to end. You are self-taught this time!"

Zhang Xingwang looked at the contract handed over by his good brother. The house was quite close to his home. It was two side rooms in a courtyard house. It was much better than the upside-down house in the front yard.

"Brother Qi, I didn't expect that I would run away and end up on your shoulders, but I still want to hear your opinion on the purchase."

Director Qi frowned and immediately said:

"You can't deny it. I can't get any fish. There's no rush for the purchase. Let's talk about the fish first!"

"Brother Qi, why are you so anxious? The fish is easy to handle. I'm just wondering when I can meet my sister-in-law. I have some grapes here. I heard that pregnant women who eat grapes give birth to babies with extra-large eyes!"

Director Qi sighed and replied:

"What the aunt in your courtyard said is correct. You really have no conscience..."

The next day, Zhang Xingwang carried two sacks of grapes to the street office. He didn't plan to fish, and said to the two stunned directors:

"You two may not know that all the fishing spots in the city are full now. The fish are so scared that they dare not show their heads. Forget about fishing. You two can only make do with these grapes. They are good stuff. You will look great if you give them to others as gifts!"

Director Wang rolled his eyes and pointed at the door and said angrily:

"I didn't say grapes are not good, but if you do this, how dare I give them to others? Then they will send me away..."
