Siheyuan: The wife was intercepted after returning from the battlefield

Jiang Daya nodded upon hearing this and said, "This is the best way. Just consider it as Xiyue's debt to him."

A few days later, in front of the street office.

Zhao Yang looked at the sign with Jiaodaokou Sub-district Office printed on it, straightened his clothes and walked in.

The security guard saw the stranger coming in and stopped him, "Comrade, who are you looking for?"

Zhao Yang handed over his letter of introduction and said with a smile, "Uncle, I'm new here."

After reading the letter of introduction, the old man immediately said respectfully, "It turns out to be Deputy Director Zhao. Please ask Director Wang to wait for a long time inside." After that, he pointed to where Director Wang's office was.

Zhao Yang felt that the guard's attitude was much more respectful, and said with a slight smile: "Thank you, sir."

The security guard waved his hand and said, "No, no, Deputy Director Zhao, please go and do your work."

Zhao Yang nodded and walked towards Director Wang's office. He soon found the director's office and knocked on the door and asked, "Is Director Wang here?"

Director Wang heard the noise and said, "Come in."

Zhao Yang pushed open the door and walked into the office and said politely, "You must be Director Wang, I am Zhao Yang, here to report to you."

When Director Wang heard it was Zhao Yang, he immediately stood up and said, "It's Deputy Director Zhao. We are eager to recruit talented people, and finally we have a top student like you here. Please take a seat." Then he went to pour water for Zhao Yang.

Zhao Yang took the cup and said politely, "Thank you, Director Wang. You don't have to be busy anymore."

Director Wang liked Zhao Yang because he was sunny and handsome. He was also a top student who graduated from Peking University and Tsinghua University, so he naturally looked up to him. He was also very polite and didn't look arrogant at all. He smiled and said, "Deputy Director Zhao, since you have just arrived, you should get familiar with the work of our street office first. How about I assign you a job in two days?"

Zhao Yang knew that this was for his own good, so he nodded quickly and said, "Thank you Director Wang for your concern. Please don't call me Deputy Director Zhao. Just call me Xiao Zhao."

Director Wang had a better impression of Zhao Yang after hearing this, and said with a smile: "Okay, I will take you to familiarize yourself with the work environment first, and introduce you to everyone by the way."

Zhao Yang stood up and said, "Then I'll trouble Director Wang."

Upon hearing this, Director Wang waved his hand and said, "Don't be polite. If you have any difficulties in the future, just tell me and I will help you if I can." With that, he took the lead and walked out of the office, and Zhao Yang followed immediately.

The first stop was the General Affairs Office, which was relatively close to Director Wang's office. When they arrived at the General Affairs Office, Director Wang clapped his hands and said, "Everyone stop what you are doing. I'll introduce you to Zhao Yang, the top student assigned by the higher authorities. He is looking for the deputy director. Welcome everyone."

Upon hearing this, colleagues in the office stood up and applauded. Everyone had a very good impression of Zhao Yang, especially the two unmarried female comrades, whose eyes were sparkling with excitement.

Zhao Yang took a glance at the office and was immediately attracted to Lin Qingyan. Although she was not as pretty as Jiang Xiyue, she was not much different. At least she was as pretty as Jiang Xiyue when they were in college. If he could marry her, it would be considered a beautiful woman. However, he knew that this could not be rushed, so he moved his eyes away from Lin Qingyan and said, "Hello everyone, from now on we are comrades in the same trench. I hope you will support me in my work in the future."

One of the unmarried women said directly: "We will definitely support Deputy Director Zhao's work." In her opinion, Zhao Yang is a deputy director at such a young age, and he must have a strong background. In addition, he is handsome. If she could marry him, she would be able to become a phoenix on the tree.

The other one was not to be outdone and said, "Yes, we will definitely fully support Deputy Director Zhao's work." After saying this, he raised his head provocatively at the other one.

Others didn't know who Zhao Yang was, but how could Lin Qingyan not know? He was a cunning hypocrite, and the way Zhao Yang looked at her just now made Lin Qingyan very unhappy.

Lin Qingyan's expression naturally caught Director Wang's eyes. He was curious about why Lin Qingyan had a problem with Zhao Yang. But now was not the time to explore these things, so he smiled and said, "Okay, everyone continue to work. I'll take Xiao Zhao to another place to get familiar with it." After that, he took Zhao Yang away from the General Office.

Director Wang took Zhao Yang around the subdistrict office, and then came to the office prepared for Zhao Yang and said, "This will be your office from now on. Do you need to rest for a few days to arrange your personal affairs since you just arrived?"

Zhao Yang looked at the independent office and was overjoyed. He finally had his own office. He shook his head and said, "Director Wang, I have nothing to do in Sijiu City. I can come to work tomorrow."

Director Wang nodded and said, "Okay, you go back today and come to work early tomorrow morning."

After seeing off Zhao Yang, Director Wang came to the General Office and waved to Lin Qingyan. Lin Qingyan understood immediately and left the office and went to the director's office with Director Wang.

As soon as he entered the office, Director Wang couldn't wait to ask, "Qingyan, I see that you don't like Zhao Yang very much, what's going on? I think Zhao Yang is a good guy."

Lin Qingyan smiled bitterly when she heard this. She couldn't tell the truth, so she thought for a moment and said, "Aunt Wang, the reason why I have an opinion about Zhao Yang is because a childhood friend of mine said that Zhao Yang is very cunning, so I don't like him."

Director Wang was curious when he heard this: "Oh? Can you tell me the details?"

Lin Qingyan smiled and nodded, "What's there to hide? My friend's childhood friend's family is quite powerful. He also studied at Peking University and Tsinghua University. He was in the same class as Zhao Yang, and Zhao Yang pursued him meticulously for three years, but he never agreed. Later I heard that his family arranged a fiancé for him, and he also made it clear to Zhao Yang. Even so, Zhao Yang used the three-year pursuit as an excuse to let him stay in the city. Because they were classmates, he helped arrange a job for him in the district. But I didn't expect him to go to him again a few days ago. I guess it was because of the deputy director's matter. Because this almost affected the relationship between the couple, I don't have a good impression of him."

Director Wang shook his head and said, "So that's how it is. No wonder you don't like him. You're right. If you really love him that much, you shouldn't pester him again for your own future after he rejects you."

Lin Qingyan also nodded and said, "Who said it wasn't true? People were willing to help him because we were classmates for several years. Who knew that he would be so greedy and want more? This is a bit mean."

Zhao Yang didn't know that after he left, Lin Qingyan's words caused Director Wang's favorability towards him to plummet.

The next morning.

Zhao Yang happily came to work at the subdistrict office. He first reported to Director Wang. Director Wang lost his initial enthusiasm when he saw Zhao Yang and said indifferently, "Deputy Director Zhao is here. You should familiarize yourself with the work environment first. I will assign you tasks in two days."

Zhao Yang saw Director Wang's cold expression. He didn't know why he was fine yesterday but his attitude changed today, so he forced a smile and said, "Director Wang, you can just call me Xiao Zhao."

Director Wang said without even looking up, "It's safer to call them by their titles during working hours. Now you can leave."

Zhao Yang didn't know how he had offended Director Wang, but he knew in his heart that Director Wang would play a crucial role in whether he could keep his position as deputy director, so he stood up and said, "Okay, Director Wang, call me if you need anything."

After Zhao Yang left, Director Wang raised his head, looked at Zhao Yang's back and shook his head.

After leaving the director's office, Zhao Yang returned to his office and sat for a while, then got up and went to the General Office.

When everyone saw Zhao Yang coming in, they greeted him warmly. They kept their heads down to work because of Lin Qingyan, which made Zhao Yang extremely dissatisfied. After all, he was a prominent figure in the school. Why would a mere clerk treat him like this?

So he walked towards Lin Qingyan and stretched out his hand, saying, "Hello, comrade, I am Zhao Yang."

Lin Qingyan raised her head and blinked, "It's Deputy Director Zhao. What do you want to talk to me about?"

The disdain in his eyes almost broke Zhao Yang's defense, but he still held back and said, "Comrade, can I ask you to take me to familiarize me with the working environment?"

Hearing this, Lin Qingyan shook her head and said, "I'm sorry, Deputy Director Zhao, I'm married. You can find someone else to take care of you. It's not appropriate for us to be a single man and a single woman. Besides, I don't want my husband to misunderstand." After that, she lowered her head and continued to work.

One of the unmarried women stood up and said, "Deputy Director Zhao, I have time. I will show you around our street office."

The other unmarried woman, who was a step slower, stamped her feet secretly, wondering why she was just a step slower and let her get there first.

Seeing someone helping him out, Zhao Yang said, "Thank you for your help."

Before leaving, he did not forget to say to Lin Qingyan: "Comrade, we are just colleagues helping each other, please don't be too feudal."

Upon hearing this, Lin Qingyan looked up and said, "Deputy Director Zhao, I don't have feudal ideas. I just simply don't want my husband to misunderstand me and affect our relationship." After that, she continued to work with her head down.

Zhao Yang was a little embarrassed by Lin Qingyan's pressure, but the female colleague said, "Okay, Deputy Director Zhao, I'll take you out for a walk."

As they walked in the courtyard of the subdistrict office, Zhao Yang asked, "What's the name of that female comrade? Why is her thinking so backward?"

The female colleague smiled and said, "Her name is Lin Qingyan. She has a very good relationship with our director, and her husband is the director of the economic police department of the steel rolling mill, so you'd better not offend her."

Zhao Yang smiled when he heard this and said, "I see. No wonder you didn't take me seriously. It turns out you have someone to back you up."

The female colleague laughed and said, "Deputy Director Zhao, don't say that. Lin Qingyan is a famous ice beauty in our street. She doesn't show any color to any man except female colleagues, so don't mind it. When you get to know her, you will know that she is a good person."

Zhao Yang gave up the idea after hearing that. First, she was already married and had a background. Second, now was not the time to be sentimental. The most important thing now was to secure the position of deputy director to ensure a big leap in his career. So he smiled and said, "How could that be? Do you think I'm a petty person?"

The female colleague smiled and said, "No, Deputy Director Zhao is so young to be the deputy director, he must be a reasonable person."

Zhao Yang laughed loudly upon hearing this and said, "Can I understand that you are just trying to flatter me?"
