Siheyuan: Crossing the two worlds, if you don't obey, you will be a beast

As soon as she entered the room, Liu Lan stood cautiously at the door, bent down slightly, and said respectfully: "Director, I'm here!" Her voice was neither too loud nor too soft, just loud enough for people in the office to hear.

At this time, Deputy Director Li was sitting quietly in front of a spacious desk, frowning and looking worried. His eyes revealed a trace of fatigue and helplessness, as if he had endless troubles in his heart. He had just heard everything that happened outside the door, but he did not show much concern for the quarrels and fights between these workers. In his opinion, these people were just tools in the factory, and as long as they did not affect production, he would not easily intervene.

However, Deputy Director Li was in an extremely heavy mood at the moment, because he was under great pressure from the recent events in the factory. He gently rubbed his temples with his fingers, trying to relieve his tense nerves, and whispered to himself, "Oh, what can I do?" His tone was full of anxiety and helplessness.

He thought to himself, "Oh, I'm so unlucky! I was already poor enough, and I didn't expect that some gossip would spread recently. As a result, my wife found out. Not only did she have a big fight with me, but she also took control of all my property. Now I have less than ten dollars left, and it's hard for me to even find mistresses outside. These days, I can't even do those romantic things because I have no money. After all, as a man, if you don't have money, you are nothing."

He sighed helplessly and continued to talk to himself: "Life is so miserable. I don't even have enough money to spend, let alone enjoy life."

Just as he was lost in thought, he suddenly saw someone and said directly: "Why did you come here during working hours? Since you are here, help me deal with this anger. Hurry up, while there is no one around."

Listening to Deputy Director Li's disgusting words, Liu Lan was furious, but in order to cooperate with Director Li's plan, she tried her best to suppress her anger and put on a smile. She cursed in her heart: "This old SP will get retribution one day! But for the sake of the big plan, I can only endure it for the time being."

"Director, you should listen to the good news I have for you first!" Liu Lan said mysteriously, then walked to the office door and gently closed it, as if to keep it secret. Her expression was very serious, which made Deputy Director Li very curious. He wondered in his heart, what was going on with Liu Lan today? Why did she suddenly become so strange? Did something big happen?

Then, Deputy Director Li could not help but ask, "Liu Lan, why are you so weird today? I'm a little curious too. Tell me quickly." There was a hint of eagerness and anticipation in his tone.

Seeing that Deputy Director Li had been whetted, Liu Lan stopped keeping him in suspense and went straight to the point, "Director, this is what happened. Today, a relative of my neighbor came back from Southeast Asia and is said to have made a lot of money doing business there. He came back this time just to purchase some ordinary steel in Sijiu City. I thought, doesn't our factory have a lot of accumulated ordinary steel? Instead of leaving it there and wasting it, it would be better to sell it to them. Moreover, when this person heard that I knew the director of the steel rolling mill, he immediately asked me to bring you a gift to show my sincerity." As she spoke, she handed the box in her hand to Deputy Director Li.

Deputy Director Li listened to Liu Lan's words, but he didn't react on the surface. But he was thinking secretly in his heart. He thought, if he could really sell these ordinary steel products, then why would he worry about whether he had money? He could also increase his income, which would also be good for his private life. However, is this businessman from Southeast Asia reliable? Is he a liar? He decided to see what gift Liu Lan brought first.

Deputy Director Li reached out and took the exquisite box from Liu Lan. He opened the box without hesitation. When he saw a beautiful watch and a glittering necklace inside, he couldn't help but feel happy. These were quite expensive items at the time, especially the watch, which was worth a lot of money. Obviously, this businessman from Nanyang did show great sincerity.

Deputy Director Li picked up the watch and examined it carefully, then tried it on, with a satisfied smile on his face. He turned to Liu Lan and said, "Xiao Liu, your neighbor is so kind. However, I need to think carefully about this batch of steel. After all, this is not a small matter, it concerns the vital interests of our factory."

When he opened the box and saw what was inside, he was surprised. There was a small yellow croaker lying quietly in the box. Judging from its appearance, the small yellow croaker weighed about one tael. According to the market price at that time, the value of this small yellow croaker was about 250 yuan. Such a gift really surprised and amazed Deputy Director Li. He couldn't help but exclaimed: "Wow!"

Faced with this valuable gift, the doubts in Deputy Director Li's heart immediately dissipated. After all, no one would be so bored as to joke about 250 yuan, not to mention that the other party was so sincere. So he decided to put aside his concerns and think about how to deal with it next.

At this time, Deputy Director Li looked at Liu Lan, who seemed to have no idea what was in the box, and slowly asked, "Liu Lan, do you know what is in this box?"

Liu Lan frowned, a puzzled look on her face, and replied, "I don't know, what's wrong?" However, deep in her heart she secretly guessed that there must be some precious items hidden in it, otherwise someone as smart as Deputy Director Li would not ask her so eagerly.

After hearing this, Deputy Director Li breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good. Since that person is your neighbor's relative, let's do this. I will wait for him at Huiwang Tower at twelve o'clock tomorrow noon. You go back and tell him that I can give him a chance. You just need to convey my words to him. In addition, this ten yuan is a little compensation for what you have suffered today. From now on, you must keep your mouth shut about this matter, understand?" After that, Deputy Director Li handed the ten-yuan bill to Liu Lan and warned her with a serious expression.

Liu Lan took the money with great joy, nodded repeatedly, and promised to do as she was asked. After all, she had completed the task, and if the old SP was willing to keep the appointment, then she would be able to successfully complete the instructions given to her by Director Li.

After leaving Deputy Director Li's office, Liu Lan couldn't wait to find the security specialist who was responsible for contacting her and conveyed the message to him. After that, she spent half of the ten dollars to reward herself for this extremely difficult experience.
