Siheyuan: Survival Guide for Courtyard No. 95

A great man once said that one should make more friends and fewer enemies. Although Zhao Shanhe has no great ability, he can still learn by following others' lead. He is not short of money and votes, and since he cannot get the upper-level leaders' help, he might as well get in touch with his subordinates first.

After leaving the Personnel Department, Zhao Shanhe was no longer an ordinary worker. He had become a glorious 9th-level clerk (administrative level 27), with a salary of 30 yuan per month...

To put it bluntly, the salary of a first-level fitter is 3 yuan higher than his. This shows whether the workers of this era are awesome enough?

He did not return to the purchasing department. At this time, both Li Lianjie and Yao Decai knew that he had been in touch with Li Huaide. It can be said that they were from the same faction and they all followed Director Li for their meals. Even if Li Lianjie might feel uncomfortable, they would not make things difficult for him for the sake of Li Huaide's face.

As for the other deputy section chief, Wang Yong, it wasn't that Zhao Shanhe looked down on him. How long could the remnants of Lou Bancheng's family last? If you were given face, you would be the deputy section chief. If you weren't given face, who would you be? Besides, under the influence of social ethos at this time, the lackeys of capitalists were not good people.

Riding a bike straight to Yongdingmen Pigeon Market, the weather was getting warmer and Qiao Laoliu finally took off his cotton coat.

At this time, he was eating some sugar-roasted chestnuts that he got from somewhere, and Zhao Shanhe walked over and said.

"Sixth brother, are you eating? It smells delicious."

Qiao Laoliu stretched forward the brown paper bag containing roasted chestnuts.

"If you want to eat, take it yourself. Why did you learn so much nonsense?"

Zhao Shanhe took out a few, peeled one and ate it. It tasted really good. He thought he would try doing the same with the chestnuts in his own little world. It would surely make the children in the yard drool.

"Sixth brother, there is something I need to discuss with you.

I work in the purchasing department of a steel mill. The factory wants to get some fish, so I was thinking of getting a batch and sending it to you. This way, the factory will think that you are selling it to them and won't suspect me.

But the factory won’t give you a very high price. If things go wrong, you won’t make any money and you may even have to pay for the shipping.”

When Qiao Laoliu heard this, he was very surprised, because this was a completely thankless job.

"Brother, what do you want from this? Do you think you can afford that salary?"

"Sixth brother, to be honest with you, I am now a state cadre. Do you understand the cadre system?

The leader gave us face, so shouldn’t I give him some face as well? "

To be honest, Qiao Laoliu, the ticket scalper, really doesn't understand the ins and outs of this, but he does understand cadres. The leaders of the neighborhood committee are cadres, the leaders of the street office are also cadres, and even the leaders of the police station are damn good cadres.

"Brother, will you be able to become a high-ranking official in the future? Won't you be able to eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks in the future? Don't forget your brother when you get up."

"No, I'm just a cadre. It's still a long way to go before I can become an official. I have to do it step by step. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. The first step is to deliver fish to the factory. I have to let the leaders see my value, only then will I have a chance to be promoted, right?"

The two chatted for quite a while before Zhao Shanhe made Qiao Laoliu understand the benefits of sending fish to the factory. Qiao Laoliu also understood and decided to send the fish. It would just be a waste of time. The fish were all obtained by Zhao Shanhe, and he didn't need to pay anything else.

The next day, Zhao Shanhe brought Qiao Laoliu to the steel rolling mill to meet Li Huaide, and his mission was completed. Although on the surface the fish was sold to the factory by Qiao Laoliu, he was the one who brokered the deal, so Director Li would get more than half of the medal of merit, and he would also get the remaining half.

After finishing the task of delivering the fish to the factory, he went straight to find Chen Xueru.

Zhao Shanhe's current mental state was that he had a draft of tens of thousands of words in his mind before the meeting, but after the meeting he couldn't say a word.

After all, he had been a virgin for two lifetimes, so he really didn't know how to get along with a mature woman. Fortunately, Chen Xueru was more understanding. When she saw him running over during work hours, she asked.

"Shanhe, is there something urgent going on? Why are you here at this time?"

With Chen Xueru's gentle words, Zhao Shanhe's nervous and excited mood was relieved, but he still didn't say what was in his heart, he just said it casually.

"I just haven't seen Hou Kui for a few days, so I came to see him."

Chen Xueru rolled her eyes at this and thought to herself that this man was such a straight man, why couldn't he say something nice to coax her and make her happy?

"Okay, Hou Kui has gone to school. You won't be able to see him if you come at this time. If you really miss him, come at night."

After saying that, Chen Xueru started to entertain the customers who came to buy cloth. Zhao Shanhe had nothing to do now, so he helped to sort the cloth. After having lunch with Chen Xueru at noon, he prepared to leave.

As soon as I stood up, I saw a young man who didn't look like a good guy walking in from outside. He had a standard traitor's hair style with high cheekbones, a protruding chin, and a pair of small eyes that revealed a look of arrogance and contempt.

Fan Cadre

Zhao Shanhe thought about it carefully. Isn't this Fan Jinyou, the one who is obsessed with power, money, trouble-making, and petty?

It's definitely not a good thing when this guy comes. A while ago, this guy pursued Xu Huizhen, but Xu Huizhen didn't care about him at all. According to the plot development, he is here to pursue Chen Xueru? It's a pity, brother, you are a step late, the flower protector has already appeared, you should just go to where you want to be.

As soon as Fan Jinyou entered the store, he spoke to Chen Xueru in a familiar manner.

"Boss Chen, I just happened to be passing by and came to see how your business is going. Are there any difficulties recently? If so, our street can help solve them.

We are serious about serving the people.”

When Chen Xueru saw that it was this person, she quickly changed her expression.

"Are you Officer Fan? We are doing fine here. There is nothing we need the street office to help us with. Thank you for remembering my store."

Zhao Shanhe just remembered at this time that this guy seemed to be a street office cadre, and later he became a high-ranking official. He really couldn't understand how a guy who looked like a spy could become an official? Who selected him?

Looking at Fan Jinyou talking to Chen Xueru with a grin on his face, Zhao Shanhe felt a little uncomfortable. No one would be happy to see the woman he likes talking and laughing with other men, even if he knew it was a social event, right?

He didn't say anything, so Fan Jinyou asked him first.

"Boss Chen, who is this? The customer who wants to buy cloth?"

Chen Xueru saw that Fan Jinyou asked about Zhao Shanhe and hurriedly spoke.

“This is my good friend, Zhao Shanhe, who works at the steel mill north of Nanluoguxiang.

Shanhe, this is Fan Jinyou from our Daqianmen Subdistrict Office, cadre Fan. You two are about the same age, would you like to meet each other?"
