Siheyuan: How the Little People Live

Office of the Publicity Department of Red Star Steel Rolling Mill.

Xu Ying was almost driven crazy by Ye Wenwu's annoyance, and her eyes stared blankly ahead.

"No, speak up. If I hadn't been smart last night, I would have been ruined by your grandfather and his men."

Ye Wenwu said that he never wanted to see Xu Ying's grandfather and others again. Thinking of what happened last night, his whole body trembled.

"Ye Wenwu, although I promised you last night, I didn't say I would help you. Besides, I can't even protect myself. They all thought, they all thought..."

The more Xu Ying spoke, the lower her voice became, as if she had something to hide.

Ye Wenwu was indeed not going to let her go. After all, Xu Ying had hurt him badly last night. Xu Ying answered whatever his grandfather asked.

Last night, their grandfather asked some questions that he shouldn't have asked. Ye Wenwu was about to change the subject, but he didn't expect Xu Ying to interrupt and say something that Ye Wenwu usually said.

It is difficult to guard against domestic thieves.

"What is it? What is it? Tell me, what's the point of hiding it?"

Seeing Ye Wenwu struggling endlessly, Xu Ying couldn't stand his torture any longer and said loudly:

"They thought I liked you, so they started interrogating me later."

After saying this, he did not dare to look at Ye Wenwu and could only glance around.

Ye Wenwu was stunned.

Xu Ying: She said she likes me. Ye Wenwu felt as if something bad had entered his mind, as if two villains were fighting.

Then I realized it. She likes me, not me. What am I struggling with?

"Hahaha, you deserve it. I told you not to kick someone when he's down."

Ye Wenwu laughed triumphantly beside him, and then mocked Xu Ying.

When Xu Ying saw Ye Wenwu's smug look, she was so angry that she grabbed the documents on the table and threw them at Ye Wenwu.

Ye Wenwu also quickly dodged by moving sideways.

"Hahahaha, you got what you said, sir. You deserve it."

Then he bent down and picked up the document that had just fallen to the ground.

"Okay, now that you're like this, I feel more at ease. But you have to treat me to a good meal at noon. We won't eat in the cafeteria this time. You have to treat me to a good meal at the state-owned restaurant. I want three dishes and a soup."

"You wish."

Xu Ying rolled her eyes at Ye Wenwu and tried it herself.

But when I think about it, it seems like Ye Wenwu has been helping me recently, and this incident happened because I was just joking at the time.

"It's a deal, it can't be more than three dollars, otherwise I won't have enough pocket money this month."

Xu Ying thought carefully about the pocket money in her pocket and said this reluctantly.

Ye Wenwu just wanted to take advantage of the situation, but he didn't expect that he would get such a big bargain. It was only three dollars, and he would be a bastard if he didn't take advantage of the bargain.

"That's settled!"

After saying that, Ye Wenwu turned around and ran out.

He had originally wanted to run to Director Yang early in the morning to ask what was going on and how things were progressing, but thinking about what had happened last night, he still felt a little unwilling.

He had been pestering Xu Ying early in the morning, asking her to give him some advantage.

I didn't expect to get any advantage, but I actually got a pleasant surprise.

The office of Director Yang of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill.

After being notified by Secretary Wang next to him, Ye Wenwu walked directly into Director Yang's office smoothly.

When Director Yang saw Ye Wenwu, he said unhappily:

"What are you doing here kid?"

He knew that Ye Wenwu came here to ask him a question, but he was a factory director after all, and he didn't know how this guy got Deputy Director Li's consent, so he pretended not to know and asked.

Ye Wenwu smiled, the purpose of his coming was too obvious.

"Director, I came to see you. I'm afraid you're too tired from working so hard for our factory's business. You should take a good rest."

Director Yang rolled his eyes and said jokingly:

"Oh, our civil and military comrades actually have this kind of awareness. I heard that you are in the Propaganda Department, but you do nothing."

Ye Wenwu’s matter was not a big deal among the upper echelons. Every leader always had a few relatives around him. As long as they didn’t cause trouble and got a salary every month, it didn’t matter.

Ye Wenwu smiled awkwardly and retorted angrily:

"Director, it's not that I don't do anything, I just don't have anything assigned to me. You can't arrange it like this, or my colleagues will hear it and think I'm just slacking off. I won't be able to explain myself then."

Director Yang was too lazy to argue with Ye Wenwu. He didn't even look at Ye Wenwu. He just stared at the document in front of him with a frown.

Ye Wenwu was not polite either. He filled his own cup of tea and also filled Director Yang's cup. He sat beside him, drinking tea and crossing his legs.

Director Yang didn't expect that Ye Fengwu was not afraid at all, but looking at the documents in front of him, he was too lazy to pay attention to Ye Wenwu.

It was unknown how long it took before Director Yang finished dealing with the documents in front of him. He picked up the tea beside him, took a sip, put the pen into the pocket in front of him, and then looked up at Ye Wenwu.

"The higher-ups are considering your case, but word on the grapevine is that no one will be stuck with it, so don't worry."

Director Yang missed Ye Wenwu's patience. He didn't expect that Ye Wenwu could be so patient at such a young age.

It had been more than an hour since he finished processing the documents in front of him, but Ye Wenwu did not look anxious at all. In his heart, he secretly elevated Ye Wenwu to a higher level.

Ye Wenwu was slightly disappointed. He thought he would be able to hear some gossip when he came here, but there was no news. This should be the best news.

"Then I'll trouble you, Director. I wanted to discuss some details beyond the plan, but the higher-ups are still uncertain and I'm not sure if I can pass it, so let's talk about it after it passes."

If Director Yang said that he did not have the above situation, Ye Wenwu would never believe it even if he was beaten to death. It was just that Director Yang saw that he was just a young man who had not even grown all his hair yet, so there was no need for him to tell him.

Ye Wenwu is no clay man. Since you don't tell me, I will find something to keep you hanging, but I won't tell you what it is.

What Ye Wenwu said did make Director Yang frown, but he had just said that there was no news from above, so it would not be good to change his mind now. If he changed his mind, wouldn't it mean that he knew the news but didn't want to tell Ye Wenwu?

He also didn't expect that Ye Wenwu, at such a young age, was even more cunning than a fox, and his behavior was completely different from what one would expect at his age.
