Siheyuan: 55 years, starting from a buyer

"What's so important that you have to make a special trip?" Lin Shan asked the specific reason.

"Actually, there was such an incident. An old customer introduced by my master had ill intentions when I went to visit him a few days ago." Mr. Chen began to explain the reason and took a sip of tea to moisten his throat.

"Is there such a thing in this world? Someone is actually planning to target my brother?" Lin Shan was a little indignant.

"Oh, it is true! This is the key reason why I came to see you today."

"Are you talking about the old man named Li who looks much younger and is over fifty years old and has lived in the courtyard for three or four years?" Lin Shan made an association quickly.

"Yes, it's him - Li Mang." Chen Sheng confirmed.

“Li Mang…I remember him.

I met him a few times when I was doing market analysis earlier. He was a relatively reasonable and traditional person.

Among those nostalgic people, he is quite influential and helped us a lot in the past. "Lin Shan added.

“I think this guy is not simple, maybe he can catch a big fish.

If this problem can be solved successfully, it will be a great thing. "After hearing what Shan said, Chen Sheng was secretly happy.

"Oh? What do you mean?" Lin Shan sensed Chen Sheng's underlying meaning.

“This matter has to start from the past.

The Li family is a loyal customer of my master and can be said to be our main source of income.

After my master abdicated, he introduced Li Mang to me.

I thought the Master's notice a few days ago was just a normal appointment, but that visit revealed another meaning. "Actually," he said, "Li Mang needs my help to review a deal. He plans to buy a hundred-year-old wild ginseng."

This type of commercial activity is usually operated by an intermediary, and people like us who are purely treating patients rarely get involved in it. "Hearing him say this, Lin Shan nodded slightly and understood his situation.

He had previously taken on some daily affairs in his wife’s family and was quite familiar with the rules of the business world.

Faced with the request, he did not accept it directly.

Li Mang's reasons seemed evasive and full of doubts. He couldn't help but wonder if there was a secret behind the scenes. "I sought advice from my master and learned that this person has a deep background. He has funded many forces, but he chose to stand on our side in his early years."

Hearing this, Lin Shan was shocked and said, "We have always treated him as one of our own." The master revealed that the Li family was suspected of having contact with hostile forces recently, and they might want to involve him. "These people are too bold." He said angrily.

"To be honest," Chen was afraid that the common people would not want to be involved in such disputes, "if you were not involved, I would let this matter go and let it develop." Ordinary people often try to avoid it as much as possible.

Chen knew that if Lin couldn't handle the matter properly, he would intervene, although this was not his first choice. "I guess he might be an intelligence officer trained by the enemy, and his lack of vigilance is the breaking point." After getting Chen's support, Lin Shan nodded in agreement, as if he had taken on an important responsibility.

But Mr. Chen still reminded cautiously, "Be sure to pay attention, this kind of people are very risky." At the same time, he also mentioned the division of responsibilities in their team: they have a professional action team responsible for risk response, and his own task is to focus on intelligence.

Hearing this, Mr. Chen felt much more relieved. After all, their friendship was deep and he didn't want to cause more trouble for his loved ones.

Uncle Lin and his father had fought side by side and were as close as blood. "Okay, I will report this to my superiors tomorrow. Do you have any other instructions?" Lin asked.

"I came to you today to confirm that this person is abnormal, and to exclude my master and I from this incident." Chen Sheng explained his purpose. "Don't worry, I will ask for help from the senior level of my father's comrades and say that I was reported by someone." Lin Shan promised.

"This needs to be explained not only to the outside world, but also to the inside world." Mr. Chen emphasized the safety considerations again. "Don't worry, I will communicate in advance to avoid unnecessary trouble for you." Uncle Lin assured him.

After hearing this answer, Chen Sheng felt relieved. "Okay, I'll make the arrangements. If there is any progress, let me know immediately." After that, he gave a few more instructions, saying that he still needed to pay attention to this matter.

However, Mr. Chen understood and would not act rashly.

If you use your abilities too many times, you will inevitably arouse other people's suspicion, and you can only use them at critical moments.

Under this national system, the consequences of any underestimated person would be fatal.

But he has not yet reached the level of blind self-confidence.

The atmosphere in the hospital was abnormally quiet during this period, which made Mr. Chen feel quite uncomfortable.

At this moment, the chat in Liu Hai suddenly touched on a striking topic:

Recently, Yi Zhonghai seems to be particularly busy.

In today's society, promotion in job title mostly depends on accumulation of seniority.

For example, if a novice wants to be promoted to a first-level worker, he or she must have at least three years of practical work experience, no matter how outstanding his or her personal performance is.

Furthermore, promotion levels must be achieved gradually and levels cannot be skipped.

Although this is the rule, exceptions can be made in special circumstances.

If an apprentice is officially commended for heroic deeds such as rescuing a child from drowning, or is seen as a role model, they may have the opportunity to be regularized early.

Obviously, Yi Zhonghai is now busy dealing with such abnormal situations.

The annual fitter competition is a promotion platform, and winners will also get promotion opportunities.

However, participating in this competition is not easy. Permission from the master, workshop and superiors is required, as well as public support to meet the eligibility requirements.

Liu Haizhong suddenly came over, full of curiosity: "Do you remember what the factory manager wanted to talk to you about last week, Xiao Chen?" In fact, he had wanted to know this question a long time ago, but because Mr. Chen often went out early and came back late, he never found a chance to ask.

"Oh, he had a lot of stomach fire at that time, and asked me for methods to reduce it." Mr. Chen responded easily.

Liu Haizhong heard a puzzled tone: "Are you kidding?"

"Hey, Xiao Chen..." Liu Haizhong was so angry that he almost stood up.

"Stop talking about this. Can you tell me in more detail about Yi Zhonghai helping Jia Dongxu in the competition?" Mr. Chen asked like giving an order.

Liu Haizhong was a little afraid of Chen Sheng because he had seen Li Huaide being very respectful to Chen Sheng.

If I make a mistake in speaking, I'm afraid I'll have no hope of getting promoted in this life.

As for Mr. Chen, Liu Haizhong in the hospital is far less difficult to control than Yi Zhonghai. After all, the latter is not keen on a career in politics.

He explained: "It's simple. The workshop selected two people to participate in the competition. Jia Dongxu was obviously not qualified, so he was busy trying to win over the workshop director and other team leaders and ask them to help him get it done."

"Is there a chance of winning?" Mr. Chen asked.

“It should go smoothly. Yi Zhonghai people are quite popular.

No matter who goes, the result will be the same. "Liu Hai himself is not sure about this.

Thinking about it, Chen Sheng guessed that Yi Zhonghai had put in a lot of effort, but he thought that Jia Dongxu's efforts might be in vain and he would most likely be eliminated. "When will the competition be held?" he asked.

Liu Hai said with disdain: "It's only been a few days. I think he has been working in vain. He doesn't even know the true level of his apprentice."

However, Yi Zhonghai was not the only one who had doubts about Jia Dongxu's ability. Jia Zhangshi himself also had doubts about his ability. "Hey, let me tell you, Dongxu has been selected by the workshop to compete! When he comes back, he will definitely be a different level of fitter."

In the summer evenings, there were many people enjoying the cool air in the yard, and Jia Zhang would excitedly pull the crowd together to share.

Unfortunately, her enthusiasm seemed to go unanswered. "Dongxu will treat everyone to a meal when his salary increases, and you can just ask me to cook then." She declared expectantly.

However, the response she got was not encouragement, but a teasing tone: "The salary has increased, why should we treat you, who do you think you are? At most, a lousy cook will treat us to a meal, you are dreaming."

Ever since she was taught a lesson last year, Jia Zhang has been rude to Sha Zhu and scolds him almost every few days.

"Hmph, how can you, an old lady, be so ignorant of affection?" Sha Zhu responded helplessly.

Sha Zhu felt that he had been made a fool of himself, and then he moved away dejectedly.

Feeling a little embarrassed, Jia Zhang staggered back to her room, muttering as she walked, "You just know how to take advantage of others. Just wait and see how Dongxu will embarrass you after the game."

Two days later, Mr. Chen returned successfully from get off work and happened to see Uncle Yan Fugui, who was enjoying the cool air at the door.

"Uncle Yan, here is something good for you." Chen Sheng took out four walnuts from his pocket and handed them to Yan Fugui, and then said, "Someone gave me some today, so I specially picked a few for you. It is said that walnuts are good for the brain. I think the scholars in our community need to strengthen their nutrition."

"Haha, you have become more careful recently." Yan Fugui looked happy.

"Are you resting here today?" Mr. Chen asked.

"The atmosphere in the hospital is a little different today, so I went out for some fresh air." Yan Fugui lowered his voice and whispered to Chen Sheng.

"What's going on?" Chen Sheng's curiosity was also aroused. He put his bicycle aside and sat down on a stone next to Uncle Yan.

"Didn't Jia Zhang announce everywhere a few days ago that her son Dongxu was going to participate in the competition? You know about this, right?" Yan Fugui said.

"Understood." Mr. Chen nodded in response.

"I heard that Dongxu lost in the first game of the competition. The funniest thing is that he was the only one in the factory who lost. Hahaha, everyone in the factory was laughing." Yan Fugui said with a smile.

"Uncle Yan, how did you know that?" Mr. Chen asked.

"His neighbor just came back earlier than me and told me about it." Yan Fugui explained.

"And just now, I heard that Dongxu came back and jumped around the house like crazy, and Jia Zhang followed behind him, yelling and cursing." He added.

"Uh, Secretary Wu doesn't care about this?" After Chen Sheng blurted out, he immediately realized that his question was a bad idea - after all, how could others interfere in other people's family affairs?

No one intervenes when children are often abused like Yuan Houtou Liu Haizhong, not to mention that even if the legal system is improved in the future, the boundaries between private matters will still be blurred.

“Why bother with them? As long as they don’t make a fuss, they generally won’t say anything.” Yan Fugui replied.
