Siheyuan: How the Little People Live

"Hey, who's back? Isn't this the hero from our factory?"

As soon as Ye Wenwu pushed open the door of his office, he heard Xu Ying speak in a sarcastic tone, with a smile in the corner of his eyes.

Xu Ying was also notified to go to the conference room as soon as she entered the factory this morning, because all managers at the deputy section level and above received a call last night, asking them to arrive half an hour earlier this morning for a small regular meeting.

This also revealed what earth-shattering thing Ye Wenwu had done last night.

Ye Wenwu rolled his eyes at Xu Ying.

"It seems that our beautiful Xu is now the leader of the factory. She even knows about these little students, but ordinary people like me don't know."

"Humph, Ye Wenwu, I'm telling you that you must tell me the whole story today, otherwise I won't forgive you."

Xu Ying felt unhappy when she thought about how Ye Wenwu had not told her in advance what happened in the yard last night. In Xu Ying's heart, she already regarded Ye Wenwu as her last friend in the Red Star Steel Mill.

"Miss Xu, can you please stop making trouble?"

Ye Wenwu is also having a headache now. Just now at the door, Liu Hua told him that the matter has been transferred to the security department of the steel rolling mill.

Moreover, Liu Hua had hinted at him openly and secretly, and had also revealed the news that Director Yang wanted to talk to him. How could he have the time to chat with Xu Ying here?

"I didn't expect this matter would end up in the factory. Please leave me alone while I think of a solution."

Hearing that Ye Wenwu's thoughts were in a mess, Xu Ying's eyes rolled.

"Well, since you are busy right now, I won't bother you for now. You have to owe me a meal after this matter is resolved."

Ye Wenwu looked at Xu Ying in surprise. He didn't expect that she was actually thinking about him. But it was just a meal. It wasn't a big deal.

"Good good."

Then Ye Wenwu lay down on the table, while Xu Ying, who was standing next to him, looked at Ye Wenwu with her chin in her hand.

Xu Ying remembered that when she received a call at home, her grandfather asked what happened at the factory and she answered truthfully.

But grandpa didn't say anything, just smiled and changed the subject.

Xu Ying knew her grandfather's character since she was a child, so she knew what it meant when her grandfather smiled and didn't say anything. She was also a little curious, why was Ye Wenwu so attractive?

A morning passed in a flash.

Ye Wenwu thought for a long time but couldn't come up with any good idea. After all, he didn't know what the attitude of Wei Wenchuan in the factory was. The best way now was to wait until lunch and go talk to Liu Hua.

Originally, Ye Wenwu wanted to ask Xu Ying. After all, the factory had called up all the management at the deputy section level and above, so she would definitely come up with a solution. Well, Ye Wenwu asked, but she didn't get it.

During the entire lunch, Ye Wenwu was absent-minded, which made Xu Ying, who was standing beside him, pout continuously in anger.

Ye Wenwu hurried to the guard room. Liu Hua was sitting in the office smoking and bragging to other younger brothers. When he saw Ye Wenwu coming, he looked at him with some surprise.

"Wenwu, why are you here so early? You haven't even finished get off work yet."

The people nearby saw that Ye Wenwu came to look for Liu Hua, so they tactfully walked away.

Ye Wenwu smiled foolishly, then took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to Liu Hua.

"Brother Hua, what you said to me this morning has made me think about it all morning. I can't sit still anymore, so I came to ask you something."

Liu Hua was also stunned, but then burst into laughter.

"I'm telling you, kid, sometimes you can keep your temper very well, and sometimes you can't keep your temper at all."

Liu Hua stood up and patted Ye Wenwu on the shoulder.

"Okay, since you're here so early, it doesn't matter whether we talk about this matter earlier or later. Have you had lunch yet?"

Ye Wenwu's face turned slightly red. He had asked Brother Hua to come over to ask about something, but he had actually forgotten to invite him to lunch. It was all Xu Ying's fault. She insisted on dragging him to have lunch early, saying that he had forgotten to eat in the morning and was too hungry.

"I've eaten. I just came here after eating."

"You're so good, you didn't even call me when you were having dinner. I thought you hadn't eaten yet."

Liu Hua glared at Ye Wenwu fiercely, then turned around and shouted to the person who was talking in the distance:

"Xiao Liu, bring me a meal for lunch."

"Got it, Uncle Liu."

A young man with a crew cut shouted in response from a distance.

As there were too many people in the security room, Liu Hua and Ye Wenwu wandered around the construction site in the factory.

"You had quite a lot of things happen last night. I heard that Director Yang talked to you alone."

Ye Wenwu nodded. It could be said that everything that happened yesterday was related to him, Ye Wenwu.

"The most taboo thing for factory leaders is to commit crimes against their superiors. You are a smart person and you should know this, unless you have a strong background."

"The matter concerning Zhao Shujie, the former head of your Propaganda Department, and Li Zhiqiang should also be related to you."

Ye Wenwu did not hide these things and told the reasons truthfully.

"Secretary Zhao arranged for a mentor to guide me. That mentor was Xu Ying. But Xu Ying was the woman Li Zhiqiang pursued, and Xu Ying used me as a shield in front of Li Zhiqiang, so Li Zhiqiang wanted to get rid of me. I don't know what happened, but these two people cooperated with each other, but I easily resolved it. What happened afterwards was their own business, although I helped to fuel it."

Liu Hua nodded after hearing this.

"You are quite smart, so you didn't expose all the problems. However, the fact that you and Xu Ying contradicted Zhao Shujie in the office made some leaders in the factory very uncomfortable. Some leaders in the factory have said some bad things about you, both openly and secretly."

"Originally, you offended Zhao Shujie, which was not a big deal. However, no one expected that Zhao Shujie was a certain leader's man. This leader had been hiding very deeply. He did not expect that his layout would be destroyed by you. However, he does not dare to act rashly now, unless you make a mistake."

Ye Wenwu nodded and was determined to kill the person. He was not afraid of offending others. When he was thinking about doing this, he didn't worry about these things.

"Anyway, you kid should be careful. At least don't contradict your superiors in the factory. You can do some small things in secret. It doesn't matter as long as no one catches you with evidence. It can only be regarded as his incompetence."

Liu Hua gave another warning. He heard yesterday that Ye Wenwu and Xu Ying actually contradicted Zhao Shujie in the office, which made Zhao Shujie embarrassed and ran to the factory director to complain.

After all, these issues are very taboo in the factory. Fortunately, they were on the side of the party regarding Ye Wenwu's case, and they completed their task very well. The most important thing was that Xu Ying had a strong background, so they suppressed the matter.

However, the offended leader did not dare to complain to Xu Ying, but he, Ye Wenwu, naturally became the scapegoat.
