The Night Watchman of Siheyuan

Although people in his previous life said that Li Huaide was a bad guy who was greedy for money and lustful, Ye Tian thought that he was much better than Yang Fengshan. If he was really bad enough, Yang Fengshan would have died in the transformation, and Li Huaide would not have been able to escape unscathed after the storm ended.

Thinking of this, Ye Tian took out a cigarette and handed it to Li Huaide, then lit one for himself, exhaled a puff of smoke and said: "That's right, to be honest with you, Brother Li, I just want to find a house close to the steel mill, so it's convenient for me to go to work."

Li Huaide smiled even more as he looked at the special supply cigarettes in his hand. This was a special supply for his father-in-law, who was barely qualified. However, there was not much quota, and he could only get a few packs throughout the year. It seemed that Ye Tian's background was deeper than he had imagined.

Thinking of this, Li Huaide held Ye Tian's arm and walked towards the section chief's office. As he walked, he said to Ye Tian, ​​"These are all trivial matters. Just make a phone call and I'll do it for you. You don't have to come in person. But I can't let you come here in vain. I'll ask the logistics department to find some good furniture for you later."

The two of them stepped into the office. As soon as they entered the door, Li Huaide said to a middle-aged man in his forties: "Old Qian, let me introduce you to the director of Ye Tian’s security department, my brother."

The head of the Housing Management Section was Li Huaide's confidant. After hearing Li Huaide's introduction, he knew that Ye Tian was one of his own. He immediately said, "Hello, Director Li, Hello, Director Ye, what can I do for you?"

Ye Tian was about to speak, but Li Huaide got the better of him and said to Section Chief Qian, "My brother just arrived. Please arrange a place for him to live and send some furniture over."

After hearing Li Huaide's instructions, Section Chief Qian brought over a batch of housing plans and handed them to Ye Tian, ​​and then said to Ye Tian: "Director Ye, all the remaining vacant houses in the factory are here. Take a look first. If you are not satisfied, I will think of a solution."

Ye Tian casually handed Section Chief Qian a cigarette, took the drawings and started to look at them. The first few pictures were all of cadre buildings, so Ye Tian just glanced at them. Not only were they uncomfortable to live in, but his identity also needed to be kept strictly confidential. It would be bad if he ran into a cunning person and found out that he was unusual.

Ye Tian’s primary target was still the courtyard house. After some renovation, it would be quiet and comfortable, and he would not attract other people’s attention when he went to the military compound.

Suddenly, a courtyard caught Ye Tian's attention. Courtyard No. 95, isn't this the legendary Siheyuan? Interesting.

Seeing Ye Tian's gaze, Li Huaide and Section Chief Qian also looked at the drawing in Ye Tian's hand. They saw that it was a courtyard house. They were a little curious. Why did Ye Tian like this place?

It was Li Huaide who asked first: "Brother Ye, you are looking at the wrong place. Logically speaking, you should live in the cadres' building, right?"

Seeing Li Huaide's doubts, Ye Tian didn't intend to keep him in suspense, and said directly: "Well, Brother Li, to be honest, I have to serve as the deputy director of the Dongcheng Branch. The cadre building is a bit far from the branch. Besides, it's not good for the comrades in the factory to see what happens."

Li Huaide understood a little. It was true that there were too many smart people in the cadre building, and it was easy for information to leak out. However, he had never thought that Ye Tian was the director. However, he became more enthusiastic about Ye Tian and said, "Brother Ye is really thoughtful."

He turned to look at Section Chief Qian and asked, "Is there any small courtyard house left?"

Section Chief Qian was studying the special cigarettes in his hand. When he heard Li Huaide's question, he knew that his chance had come.

He said seriously: "The Siheyuan is gone, but the East Cross Courtyard in the No. 95 Courtyard in Director Ye's set of drawings has not been divided out.

Courtyard No. 95 was originally the residence of a Beile. There are three main rooms, two secondary rooms, and a back door in the east wing. Normally, people don’t have to go out through the courtyard. However, no one has lived there for a long time, so it needs to be repaired. "

After hearing Section Chief Qian's introduction, Ye Tian felt speechless, lamenting the ability of fate to change things. He was forced to go and see this legendary courtyard. However, it was not impossible. He didn't believe that those people were so stubborn that they would be in trouble even if they dared to provoke him.

Seeing Ye Tian's silence, Section Chief Qian thought that Ye Tian was dissatisfied. He turned to look at Li Huaide with a pleading look. He didn't dare to provoke Ye Tian.

Li Huaide couldn't ignore the request for help from his men, so he immediately said, "What do you think, Brother Ye? If you are not satisfied, I will discuss it with the street office and get you a small courtyard house."

After hearing what Li Huaide said, Ye Tiancai came back to his senses and said with a smile: "This is good enough, what else is there to change? No need to change, let's just arrange it like this."

Hearing that Ye Tian was satisfied, Li Huaide waved his hand and Section Chief Qian came up, took out a notebook and a pen, and said, "Director Ye, if you have any requests, you can ask. It just so happens that the house needs to be repaired. When it's done, Director Ye can just move in."

Ye Tianye was not polite, he picked up a pen and paper and started drawing, while he explained to the two: "Convert this ear room into a bathroom, the kind that can be used for bathing, and build a garage in the yard.

Oh, by the way, we also need to change the locks of all the doors to safer ones. As for the door connecting to the No. 95 compound, don't seal it. Make it the kind that can only be opened from the inside.

Just replace the floor tiles in the room with marble and add heating, and that'll be it. The rest is up to you, Section Chief Qian, but there's one thing that needs to be done as soon as possible."

Li Huaide suddenly realized after hearing Ye Tian's explanation. No wonder he didn't want to use the tube-shaped building. He was tempted by the transformation. Brother Ye really knew how to enjoy life. It seemed that he was the same kind of person as him.

If Ye Tian knew what Li Huaide was thinking, he would definitely spit at him. What class are you? You should know that you have a small building in the military compound and you can arrange a nanny and other things. This is really lowering your class.

Section Chief Qian's face looked a little ugly, and he wanted to say something but hesitated. Ye Tianye saw it, first took out a cigarette and passed it to the two of them, and then lit one for himself, and then asked: "Section Chief Qian, do you have any difficulties?"

Section Chief Qian took the cigarette and lit it. After a long pause, he replied, "It's easy to talk about the renovation, but there's really no way to fix the flush toilet and heating. I really can't get them myself."

Ye Tian smiled, thinking it was some big deal, and wrote down a phone number and handed it to Section Chief Qian.

At the same time, he said, "That's easy. Just call him and he will arrange whatever you need."

Section Chief Qian then breathed a sigh of relief and assured that it would be repaired in three days and Ye Tian could just move in when the time came. Then he sent Li Huaide and Ye Tian out the door.

After finishing the work, Ye Tian was about to leave, so he said hello to Li Huaide: "Brother Li, the work is done. Sorry to bother you. How about we go out for dinner?"
