Siheyuan: Starting to work in the street office

Li Huaide rolled his eyes at Zhong Shan.

"You're not much better than me. You've become a lot darker. Wherever you go now, you can't tell that you used to be a deputy director."

Hu Chengyu, the nephew of Li Huaide, from Director Li's family, naturally did not have a very smooth life after Li Huaide lost power. However, he was not caught in any weakness. He was just marginalized. There are only a few brothers left among the group of brothers who used to surround him.

It’s really interesting to see these three “frustrated” people get together. Originally they were all personalities, big or small, but now they are just individuals.

Zhong Shan shook his head.

"Seeing what happened to the three of us, I remembered a saying: People should stay on the right path. Look at what happened to the three of us who took the wrong path."

Li Huaide did not follow Zhongshan.

"If I said this, it would be understandable. But you look so guilty when you said this. Don't be so ungrateful. You backed out completely, but I was the one who suffered the most."

"So what are you doing? Are you here to find Director Li to find a job as a street sweeper to supplement your family income?"

Hearing Zhong Shan say this, Li Huaide looked at Zhong Shan with a strange look.

If it weren't for Zhong Shan's bribe as a guarantee, Li Huaide might really have to sweep the streets.

Originally, Zhong Shan and Li Huaide had a good relationship. Even without Director Li's relationship, the two of them seemed to have some similarities.

However, at that time, both of them contacted each other with a purpose, and now that both of them have lost their jobs and official positions, their relationship seems to have become closer, as they are both wanderers in the world.

From then on, there was one more person who went fishing with Zhongshan, and the two of them often went in and out of the courtyard together.

Although everyone in the courtyard was a little reserved when they first met Li Huaide, after all, he was their former boss, but they got used to it.

"Oh, by the way, Lao Li, do you remember the house on the street that I asked you to find? You know a lot of people, is there anyone suitable?"

Li Huaide saw Zhong Shan asking again.

"No, you are serious. I thought you were joking."

"Do I have to joke about this? Hou San'er has gone to Xinqiao Hotel to study, and I'm just waiting for the wind. If the wind blows one day, don't hold me back."

After listening to this, Li Huaide thought about it.

"There is a suitable one over at Gulou, but you have to find one that is close to us, which is a bit difficult. Hey, it seems there is one, but I'm not very familiar with it."

Don't mention it, he really thought of it. When Li Huaide looked at Zhong Shan's house, it really reminded him of a family.

"Speaking of this place, it's not far away. It's right in your Nanluoguxiang. It's a house facing the main street. It covers a large area, about 600 square meters, and it's three stories high. The total area is not small, it's enough for you to use."

When Zhongshan heard this, he thought it was really good, the area was also good.

"Whose house is this then? When you are free, go visit them so that you can rent it to them in the future."

Li Huaide chuckled a few times when he heard this.

"You will never see this person. The owner of the house is an old professor named Feng. He lives in the countryside. His family used to be landlords. His children all went abroad a few years ago, but Mr. Feng couldn't bear to leave his hometown, so he stayed.

When I got the news and went there, I was already a step too late. The person had already been taken to the countryside by someone else. Although the house is now under the management of the street office, it is still under the name of Old Feng. If you want it, you can only hope that he is in good health and can hold on until he comes back. Otherwise, I don’t know what will happen to the house! ”

When Zhongshan heard about these officials, it was as if he was poured with a bucket of cold water.

Yes, we can only hope that the old man gets better, but if he can hold on, he’ll be back in these two years.

Otherwise, if the old man passed away, he still has children living abroad, and it is hard to say what the property rights will be in the future.

But as long as the old man can come back alive, this matter will be easy.

Li Huaide saw that Zhong Shan was still in deep thought.

"Brother, are you so sure that you will allow private individuals to do business in the future? You know, the management of this aspect is still very strict now. Why do I feel that there is little hope?"

Zhong Shan didn't know how to explain it after hearing it. Could it be that I came from the future and I know the future development? Even his wife didn't know this, so how could he tell Li Huaide?

"Old Li, just tell me why we have to go through so much trouble to leave there even if we lose our jobs. Besides, the conditions for educated youth to return to the city have been relaxed, and those four people have been criticized. The former businessmen and wealthy people are no longer targeted as before. Everything is moving in a good direction."

Seeing that Li Huaide was also lost in thought, Zhong Shan spoke again.

"Now, everything that should be done has been done, and everything that shouldn't be done has also been done. All that's missing is an opportunity. As long as the higher-ups want to recall those merchants who are wandering outside and want to revitalize the economy, they will definitely allow individuals to do business again. It's just that I don't know how long this will take, maybe ten years, maybe twenty years, or maybe one or two years. Who knows what will happen in the future?

But I have nothing to do now, so it's always good to be prepared in advance. If that day comes too late, then nothing will happen. If it comes too early, we can be the first to adapt to the times, which is always good. Otherwise, will we just keep fishing until we get old? "

Li Huaide came back to his senses after hearing this. Yes, these people can only pin their hopes here. They can forget about working because they all have criminal records. But they can't just get by like this. Their only hope is the day when the country is opened up.

"I hope we can see that day in our lifetime. Otherwise, we can only sit here and fish every day. Oh, it would be nice if that day really comes."

Li Huaide is different from Zhong Shan. Zhong Shan is not that ambitious, but Li Huaide is very ambitious. If he is left to just eat and wait for death, it would be as uncomfortable as being in jail. He is eager to make a career.

Zhong Shan's words seemed to have opened another door for him. Now he hoped more than Zhong Shan that that day would really come.

Zhong Shan looked at Li Huaide, who seemed to have fighting spirit in his eyes again, and chuckled. That day will come, and it is not far away. It will take two or three years. The city opened in December 78, and the first private restaurant in the city was opened in 12. It has been 80 years now, so it will be soon.

Suddenly, Zhong Shan looked at Li Huaide strangely. He remembered that in the original drama, after the opening up, You Fengxia, who was beside Li Huaide, was old enough to be his daughter. Who would have thought that Old Li was still in good health.
