Siheyuan: How the Little People Live

Ye Wenwu smacked his lips. He didn't expect Deputy Director Li to say it so directly.

But he came to his senses and thought that Deputy Director Li seemed to be really anxious. If he couldn't get an answer from him, he might think of another way.

Ye Wenwu also believed that the enemy of my enemy is my friend. He also wanted to be noticed by Deputy Director Li during the big storm, so naturally he would not hide it from Deputy Director Li.

“Things can be successful, it’s just that the effort is greater than the reward.”

When Deputy Director Li heard the first half of the sentence, his heart sank.

If Director Yang can really complete this project, the leaders above will definitely promote Director Yang. Even if they don't promote him, they will still look favorably upon Director Yang.

So no matter what means Deputy Director Li takes, he can't replace Director Yang and can only stay as deputy.

Unexpectedly, the next sentence made Deputy Director Li come back to his senses with some confusion.

What does it mean to give more than you gain?

Deputy Director Li also instantly understood the meaning of Ye Wenwu's next sentence, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"You are still a bit cunning."

Deputy Director Li did not say it explicitly, after all, this was something everyone knew.

With Ye Wenwu's words, he also had a plan in mind.

Ye Wenwu nodded shamelessly and said with pretended hesitation:

"Director, now that I have said what I need to say, look at me..."

Deputy Director Li pulled his face helplessly. He never thought that Ye Wenwu was so shameless. Anyway, the planning of this project would have to wait until Director Yang was ready before Ye Wenwu was needed, so he said very unhappily:

"Okay, okay, go ahead."

When Ye Wenwu heard Deputy Director Li's dismissal, he glared at him angrily.

In Ye Wenwu's opinion, Deputy Commander Li was just playing deaf and dumb.

However, Ye Wenwu was not discouraged. After all, if the next project had to be launched, Deputy Director Li would definitely find him for cooperation.

After all, when talking to a smart person, everything can be made clear in just one sentence.

Ye Wenwu pushed the door open and walked out with boredom. He originally thought that Deputy Director Li would give him a little benefit for the sake of his reputation, but he underestimated how thick-skinned Deputy Director Li was.

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

As soon as Ye Wenwu sat down, Xu Ying couldn't wait to move the stool over.

"What does Uncle Li want to talk to you about? Tell me quickly."

Looking at the gossipy fair face that came closer, Ye Wenwu actually had the urge to kiss her, but fortunately he resisted the urge and turned his head away.

"Isn't he your Uncle Li? You keep calling him Uncle Li. Why are you asking me when you can ask your Uncle Li?"

Although he knew that Xu Ying just came here to gossip or show a little concern, Ye Wenwu couldn't help but say something.

Xu Ying glared at Ye Wenwu angrily, then patted him lightly on the shoulder, showing that she was very angry.

Ye Wenwu shrugged his shoulders in boredom. He couldn't tell Xu Ying about the conversation he had just had with Deputy Director Li in the office.

Otherwise, walls have ears, and if someone else hears it and tells Director Yang, it will be a disaster.

Ye Wenwu didn't want to lose all his project plans because of his careless words.

Seeing that Ye Wenwu didn't want to mention this matter, Xu Ying tactfully changed the subject.

He was thinking about the girl in the big yard behind him who was pursuing him. He didn't know what had happened to her recently and she started pursuing him again.

But my cousin doesn't have time recently, and the army suddenly started exercises for some reason, so it's even more difficult for my cousin to ask for leave.

Thinking that tomorrow was a day off, she was still worrying about this matter, and her eyes lit up when she saw Ye Wenwu coming back.

After all, the method for this matter was originally provided by Ye Wenwu, so Ye Wenwu should be responsible for himself.

Thinking of this, Xu Ying's eyes on Ye Wenwu were like a woman's eyes on jewelry.

Seeing that Xu Ying remained silent for a long time, Ye Wenwu thought that Xu Ying was angry about what he had just said. He raised his head and looked at her, and couldn't help but shuddering in his heart.

For a moment, Ye Wenwu felt a little creepy.

"My dear Miss Xu, what's that look in your eyes? It gives me goose bumps. Are you up to something bad again? I'm telling you, although I, Ye Wenwu, am a handsome guy, I will never fall for your honey trap."

Hearing Ye Wenwu's words, Xu Ying was not angry, but looked at Ye Wenwu with a smile, until Ye Wenwu was a little afraid to look directly at him, then he spoke:

"Ye Wenwu, I'll ask you for a favor tomorrow. I tell you that you have to help me whether you want to or not. And if you don't help me, I'll ask my grandfather to send guards to arrest you."

When Ye Wenwu heard Xu Ying's words, he was also stunned.

It’s not that he felt strange about Xu Ying’s sudden order, but he had never seen Xu Ying threaten him like this before.

Moreover, seeing Xu Yan's words, Ye Wenwu felt from the bottom of his heart that tomorrow would definitely not be a good thing, and he must stay as far away from such matters involving the third generation of the red family as possible.

Even though he is just an ordinary citizen, if he encounters such an opponent and they want to kill him, it would be too easy for them.

Ye Wenwu is self-aware and does not feel proud just because Director Li and Director Yang are more considerate of him.

"Well, well, well, Miss Xu, I'm sorry, I really have something to do tomorrow. You know I just came back from the village a few days ago. I've been busy with village affairs for two or three days. I finally had an early sleep this morning. I have an important thing to do tomorrow. You see, it's not that I don't give you face or don't want to go, I really have something to do."

Ye Wenwu began to complain, telling him everything he had done recently, and even talking about how hard, tired, and worried he was recently.

Anyway, just highlight that you are working with willpower.

Xu Ying didn't care about all that. She was now focused on getting rid of that kid from the compound so that he wouldn't stick to her all day long.

Moreover, when hearing Ye Benwu's answer, although every word expressed how hard it was, how tired and worried he was, the point was that there was something important happening tomorrow, but he didn't say what the important thing was. Did he really think that Xu Ying was a big fool?

"Oh, do you really have something important to do tomorrow?"

Facing Xu Ying's question, Ye Wenwu said calmly:

"How can I lie to you about this? I usually use my own personality to guarantee that I really have something important to do tomorrow."

"Besides, such a beautiful lady like Miss Xu has invited me out tomorrow. Why should I worry about it? If it weren't for something important, I would definitely give Miss Xu a favor."

Seeing Ye Wenwu so calm, Xu Ying felt a little suspicious. Was he wrong?

However, thinking about how she always lost more than she won when she had a verbal fight with Ye Wenwu, and how Ye Wenwu was very cunning, 10 out of 9 of his statements were lies, Xu Ying finally couldn't believe that Ye Wenwu really had something to do tomorrow. How could it be such a coincidence?

Although Ye Wenwu said this very calmly, he was secretly looking at Xu Ying's eyes. Seeing that Xu Ying still had some disbelief in him, he took a deep breath.

"Since you have something important to do tomorrow, what is it? Can you tell me about it?"

Xu Ying stared at Ye Wenwu with her big eyes blinking, afraid that she would miss Ye Wenwu's panicked expression.

Ye Wenwu also had a headache. He had obviously performed very well and looked very calm. Most people would definitely not ask too many questions after seeing him like this.

But he thought of one thing, because Ye Wenwu's personality and character were questionable in Xu Ying's mind.

"this..."

Ye Wenwu thought for a long time but couldn't come up with any legitimate reason.

Suddenly he remembered that he had told his cousin and his wife last night to visit their master on their day off tomorrow.

"I will accompany my cousin and his wife to visit their master tomorrow."

Ye Wenwu smiled complacently. In his mind, this matter was quite important anyway. If others said that this matter was not important, he would give them a good beating.

Xu Ying took a deep breath. She thought Ye Wenwu had something important to tell her, but she didn't expect it was this big thing.

"It's not because of me that you want to find some excuse to coax me. Why don't you find a legitimate reason? What does your cousin and his wife going to see their master have to do with you? He is not your master. Why are you joining in the fun?"

Xu Ying's face was filled with anger. Seeing that Ye Wenwu wanted to explain, Xu Ying immediately continued:

"I'm telling you, don't try to trick me with these things. Tomorrow I will definitely ask my grandfather to arrange for police officers to keep an eye on you all day and night. I want to see if you have anything important to do tomorrow. If the guards find out that you don't have anything important to do tomorrow, they will arrest you and lock you up in Xiaohei's room for a day or two."

After hearing Xu Ying's words, Ye Wenwu had already imagined that if he stayed in bed tomorrow morning, a guard would suddenly rush in from outside, grab him from the bed, and then stuff him into a jeep and take him back.

Thinking of this, Ye Wenwu couldn't help but shudder in his heart.

Thinking about that time, being grabbed by the neck by the guards and stuffed into the jeep in front of the whole hospital, would Ye Wenwu still have any face left? Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haichong would definitely spread the news to the factory, and then, it would be a huge embarrassment.
