Siheyuan: A Family of Loyal and Brave People

After lunch, Cheng Hao and his wife did not stay in the courtyard for too long. They took a short rest and then took the plaque home.

The afternoon sun was shining brightly, and the sound of cicadas could be heard from the branches of trees on both sides of the road. Riding a bicycle on the tree-lined path gave me a sense of peace and comfort.

However, at this moment, the two people on the bicycle were feeling a little depressed and had no intention of appreciating the scenery around them.

"Brother Hao, how could they be so excessive?"

In the back seat, Xu Yun, holding the plaque, hung her head, her clear eyes stained with a faint haze.

“It’s not entirely their fault.

The grassroots are short of resources and often go to war for the slightest bit of profit.

The lack of a plaque in the courtyard means a loss of bragging rights, so they are certainly not happy about it.”

Having experienced many ups and downs, Cheng Hao quickly adjusted his mentality.

Yi Zhonghai and his friends were nothing but a bunch of clowns, jumping up and down, leaping around. Apart from being disgusting, they were unable to cause any actual harm to Cheng Hao.

When faced with these annoying flies, just ignore them.

"But you can't harm others for your own benefit."

Xu Yun feels sorry for her man.

Cheng Hao is working so hard outside just to protect these bastards. It's really frustrating.

"Okay, okay, stop talking about these unhappy things.

Let's think about where to eat tonight."

People with different ideals cannot work together. Cheng Hao and the neighbors in the courtyard have long been people from two different worlds, and it is estimated that they will hardly have any intersection in the future.

After returning home, Cheng Hao and his wife immediately found a ladder and carefully hung the plaque on the doorstep.

The door frame made of blue bricks and red tiles and the plaque with white characters on a black background complement each other, exuding a solemn and majestic temperament.

Looking at the glittering door of her home, Xu Yun's depression was swept away, and a satisfied smile appeared on her beautiful face.

This is the appearance that a hero’s home should have.

……

Holidays are always short. After the weekend, Cheng Hao returns to the trivial daily work of the street office.

Monday is the starting point of the work week. Any important arrangements made by superiors will generally be notified on this day so that lower-level departments have as much time as possible to implement them during the week.

Early in the morning, when Cheng Hao was about to call a meeting of all the staff of the street office, a notice came down from his superiors.

Cheng Hao just glanced at the document, his expression instantly became heavy, and then quickly returned to normal.

Since it was an order from his superiors, Cheng Hao had to carry it out resolutely no matter how troublesome it was.

When we arrived at the meeting room on the second floor, all the staff of the Street Office were already there. Even Deputy Director Luo, who was always slow, had already sat down and was waiting.

Slacking off also depends on the occasion. On normal days when work is not busy, taking a break is no big deal. However, in a serious occasion like the Monday work meeting, Deputy Director Luo dare not act recklessly.

"Comrades, this is a document just sent down by our superiors. Please take a look at it first."

Cheng Hao said this as he handed the document to Deputy Director Luo next to him.

When Deputy Director Luo was reading the document, the employees were frequently exchanging glances. The meeting room was very quiet and the sound of papers flipping could be clearly heard, but the atmosphere below was not peaceful.

Cheng Hao mentioned this document first during the meeting, and its content was obviously not simple.

The employees of the street office were all guessing the content of the document and the possible impact it might have on themselves.

As expected, when Deputy Director Luo read halfway through, a look of excitement and joy appeared on his originally calm face. Then he suddenly paused and looked at Cheng Hao, as if to verify the authenticity of the document.

Cheng Hao didn't reply, but just nodded in affirmation.

How could the documents sent by superiors be false?

Deputy Director Luo did not read any further and passed the document directly to the clerk next to him.

The clerk obviously did not have the same concentration as the two directors. He exclaimed after reading half of it: "The several alleys in the Xizhimen area will be placed under the jurisdiction of our Xining Sub-district Office.

Director Cheng, is our Xining Subdistrict Office going to be reorganized?"

All the employees in the conference room were shocked.

The expansion of the jurisdiction of the street office is undoubtedly a good thing for the unit. As the area under its jurisdiction becomes larger, the power will naturally increase accordingly.

But this may not be a good thing for the employees in the street office.

As the jurisdiction changes, positions within the unit will also change. The two directors have stable power and strong risk resistance, but ordinary employees may not be able to withstand it.

It would be very uncomfortable if I was transferred out for some reason.

"It's just adding a few more alleys to our jurisdiction, which won't have much impact on our subdistrict office, so the positions within the unit will remain unchanged, so you can rest assured."

Cheng Hao did not keep anyone in suspense and directly told the truth to appease everyone.

Hearing this, many people in the conference room breathed a sigh of relief.

In this case, this document is a great thing for the Xining Sub-district Office.

“The first item on the agenda of today’s meeting is how to organize the new jurisdiction.

According to the requirements of our superiors, we must send personnel to complete the handover work as soon as possible, and notify the residents in the area to come to our unit to handle various procedures in the future."

Cheng Hao's voice was calm, and no emotion could be heard.

The expansion of the jurisdiction is a good thing, but among the newly added alleys, there happens to be Luogu Lane, which makes Cheng Hao feel a little uncomfortable.

I just drew a clear line between myself and those bastards in the hospital yesterday, and today I'm involved with them again. It's really endless.

"Director Cheng, I am willing to go and ensure that the task is completed."

The first person to step forward was Tan Min, an active member of the Xining Sub-district Office.

As the most motivated young man in the neighborhood office, he has been trying to prove his worth and would never let go of such a good opportunity.

"This is a serious matter, so I'd better go."

Unexpectedly, Deputy Director Luo, who usually wanted to stay in the office all the time, actually took the initiative to request an overseas assignment.

"Deputy Director Luo has extensive experience in grassroots work. I think this is feasible. What do you think?"

Deputy Director Luo finally took the initiative, and Cheng Hao didn't want to dampen his enthusiasm.

Besides, this matter is not a big deal, as long as it can be handled as soon as possible.

Both directors expressed their opinions, and naturally there would be no different voices within the subdistrict office, so the matter was settled.

After settling this matter, Cheng Hao immediately discussed other matters.

A morning meeting lasted more than two hours. After the meeting, the employees of the street office left one after another, leaving only two directors sitting in their seats.

"Director Cheng, you have achieved so many results in just a short time since you came to Xining Subdistrict Office. I really admire you."

After all, Deputy Director Luo has been in the business for many years, and he was able to figure out the meaning of the document after just reading it once.

The superiors suddenly expanded the jurisdiction of Xining Subdistrict Office, which was actually a disguised reward for Cheng Hao.

Some time ago, Cheng Hao captured Liu Sanye's gang of gangsters and took the opportunity to uncover a group of hidden bad elements, which was a great contribution.

But considering Cheng Hao's inexperience, apart from verbal praise, he couldn't give him much practical benefits. That's why the arrangement of merging the jurisdictions was made.

Deputy Director Luo wanted to go there in person not to take credit, but to show weakness to Cheng Hao. He already knew that Cheng Hao was unstoppable and could not be confronted head-on.
