Siheyuan: Starting to work in the street office

In the past, when Zhongshan was attending a meeting of the whole institute, he saw this table and had an idea about buying it back. However, he got busy with other things and never got around to it, so he put the matter behind him.

Unexpectedly, after many twists and turns, the table finally fell into Zhongshan's hands.

The style of this table is from the Ming Dynasty. It has survived to the present day, so it must have originally existed in the courtyard and been passed down.

After Zhong Shan moved the table out, he wiped the dust off it, but still couldn't tell what it was.

Zhong Shan wiped it over and over again with a wet rag. Although it still didn't come out, the original color was revealed in some places.

"It's made of rosewood. A Ming Dynasty rosewood eight-immortal table?"

Zhong Shan didn't know much about these antique furniture, nor had he learned anything about them, but he collected a lot of them during that period of time, and there are still a lot of them in his space now. After seeing so many of them, he naturally understood a little bit more.

It looks like a Ming Dynasty rosewood Eight Immortals Table, and if it was really handed down from the courtyard, it is unlikely to be a fake.

The neighbors saw Zhongshan wiping the table but didn't pay much attention to it. The elderly people in the yard were familiar with the table and often saw it when they held meetings there. It was just that the table was too old and no one wanted it.

After Zhong Shan cleaned it bit by bit, it was almost noon and the table was completely new and looked much more pleasing to the eye.

Seeing that it was almost noon, Zhong Shan moved the table into the house and started working in the restaurant.

It was another busy day, but today there was an unexpected guest in the hotel.

"Brother Zhong is busy!"

Zhong Shan heard someone calling him, the voice sounded familiar, but he couldn't figure out who it was.

Zhong Shan looked towards the door and saw a young man standing there straight.

"Yuemin? When did you come back? Come in quickly."

The person at the door was Zhong Shanyue’s son Zhong Yuemin.

After Zhong Yuemin joined the army, he wrote two letters to Zhong Shan. They had a good relationship. Not to mention that Zhong Shan had always taken care of Zhong Shanyue, even when Zhong Yuemin went to the countryside, it was Zhong Shan who sent him letters and prepared things for him.

So even though Zhong Yuemin didn't say it, he still felt grateful to Zhong Shan.

"Brother Zhong, I came back yesterday, and I won't leave this time."

Zhong Shan was stunned after hearing this. Is this... changing his career?

Yes, look at the time, it’s almost time. There has been a large-scale military downsizing, and it’s time for Zhong Yuemin to transfer to civilian work.

What a pity.

When Zhong Shan was watching TV dramas in his previous life, he felt it was a pity to see Zhong Yuemin retire. At that time, Zhong Yuemin was already the captain of a special brigade at the battalion level, with the rank of major, and had made meritorious services. If he had stayed in the army, his future would have been limitless.

It's just that Zhong Yuemin's personality makes him unwilling to live a life where he can see the end of his life at a glance. In the midst of everyone's incomprehension, he chose to change his career.

Zhong Shan sighed. He had already been transferred to a new job. There was no point in saying anything more. Besides, he was just like him. Before he lost his job, he was already at the deputy director level, but he still chose to be an ordinary citizen...

"Yuemin, are you changing your job? Your father..."

Zhong Yuemin said nonchalantly.

"Hey, it's okay. My dad knows that this day will come sooner or later. It's good enough that I can stay in the army for such a long time. Besides, I've already been transferred and I'm back. What else can my dad do?"

Zhong Shan thought it was true, but Zhong Yuemin had returned from demobilization. Did he still need to make pancakes?

"Yuemin, where were you resettled after you were demobilized?"

Zhong Yuemin got angry when he heard this.

"Brother Zhong, you don't know that the guy in the resettlement office is a piece of shit. I've fought in wars and made contributions outside. Since that guy didn't assign me a job after I retired, I was thinking of becoming a criminal policeman. Now that you don't assign me a job, I won't do it anymore. At worst, I'll go begging.

When I went to the countryside, I wanted to beg for food, but I never had the chance. This time, I really wanted to order food, so I went to the resettlement office to beg for it. I wanted to see how the resettlement office would explain to me, a retired military officer who had shed blood and made contributions, if I went to beg for food at the resettlement office. "

When Zhong Shan heard this, he was actually looking forward to it. When he first watched this part in the TV series, he was also very angry. If Zhong Yuemin really did this, he really wanted to see what would happen to the person in the resettlement office.

But the impact is indeed not good...

"Yuemin, forget it. If you really go to the resettlement office to beg for food, conflicts will arise between the retired soldiers and the resettlement office, and it may cause big problems.

If you want to be a criminal police, I can help you ask. I have acquaintances in both the branch and the city police. As a combat hero, it is easy for you to become a criminal police, and it is not considered a backdoor. "

Zhong Yuemin shook his head.

"Forget it, Brother Zhong. I didn't originally want to be a criminal policeman. What's the difference between that and being a soldier? I might as well stay in the army and not come back. I retired and came back just to change my way of life. I just can't get over this. Those bastards are such bastards. I can't let them get away with it so easily."

However, Zhong Yuemin's temper came and went quickly, and before he knew it, he became interested in Zhongshan's restaurant again.

"Brother Zhong, how about your restaurant? It looks quite big."

Zhong Shan took Zhong Yuemin for a walk up and down the stairs.

"My restaurant opened early, so the customer flow is pretty good. If you don't want to go to work, it's not bad to open a restaurant."

When Zhong Shan was watching the TV series, he knew that Zhong Yuemin had run a restaurant, but he opened it because of his girlfriend and just because he wanted to give her a home.

In fact, compared to running a restaurant, Zhong Yuemin is more suitable for doing business. There are different challenges and new things every day. However, running a restaurant also means staying in one place, which is quite uncomfortable for Zhong Yuemin.

He did do business with Li Yuanchao, but later he found out that Li Yuanchao only approached him because of his relationship with Zhong Shanyue, so he left Li Yuanchao's group company.

Zhong Yuemin looked around the restaurant. It was quite new to him and he was very interested.

However, the money he earned from his career change was not enough to open a restaurant, and he had no experience.

In the original drama, they opened a restaurant because they had worked in Li Yuanchao's group for so long, and also because they had done a lot of business with his girlfriend over the years, and they were able to open such a restaurant with the money his girlfriend had saved.

Although Zhong Yuemin was interested in doing business, it was still too early to open a restaurant directly.

"We'll take our time with the restaurant. I'll set up a stall first and go to the resettlement office to buy pancakes. Begging is not good. It's okay for you to start your own business. If the resettlement office doesn't assign me a job, I won't starve to death. Hey, that's it. Brother Zhong, you go ahead and take a look at the pancake stall. That's what I'll do."

Zhong Shan looked at Zhong Yuemin's back as he walked out. This man really couldn't escape the fate of selling pancakes.
