Siheyuan: Qin Huairu relies on me

"Director Zhao, the steel mill has stopped paying you. I'm offering you a salary of 99 yuan a month, which is equivalent to the salary of a deputy section chief. In addition, since you graduated from the night school of Beijing University, I've applied for a subsidy of 20 yuan for you."

Director Zhang said awkwardly, "Don't complain about it being too little..."

"how could be?"

Zhao Xiyan waved his hand and said, "I should also thank you for taking me in. Otherwise, if I stayed at home every day, people would treat me like a street urchin."

"Okay, as long as you have no objection, I will deliver your work permit to you tomorrow. The population census is a big deal, and I plan to go to the city in person." Director Zhang said seriously.

"director……"

Captain Chen shouted eagerly.

"Come with me. Go to your bureau and drive the car out. I'll give you a note." Director Zhang said unhappily.

"No problem, let's go now. We don't know how long this will take." Captain Chen said excitedly.

"Don't worry, I still have something to ask Director Zhao,"

Director Zhang glared at him and then began to ask in detail various questions about conducting the "census".

This question lasted for a full three hours.

There was no other choice, so Director Zhang made lunch for Zhao Xiyan and then rushed away with Captain Chen.

Zhao Xiyan took a look and found that there were still some manuscripts saved, then he stood up and walked towards the courtyard.

When the old women saw him coming, they subconsciously dodged.

Zhao Xiyan ignored them and walked out the door.

But before he got on the bus, he saw someone waving at him from a distance.

"Minister Zhao..."

"Um, Liu Lan?"

Zhao Xiyan was quite surprised, "You're not going to work today?"

"Go, I'm taking a leave."

Liu Lan ran over and said a little embarrassedly, "I'm a little worried about you..."

"Hey, get in the car."

Zhao Xiyan waved to her and got into the driver's seat.

Liu Lan carefully opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat.

"The factory has given you a holiday, why do you still have a car?"

"This car belongs to the Workers' Daily. I'm also the deputy editor-in-chief of the Workers' Daily... What's wrong with driving a car?" Zhao Xiyan said with a smile. "But you, you came all the way to see me?"

"Uh-huh."

Liu Lan said a little embarrassedly, "I'm worried about you... You are so capable, but the leaders in the factory still treat you like this. They are really not human beings."

"what."

Zhao Xiyan was amused by her, "How am I so great? Aren't we just ordinary cadres?"

"Why not?"

Liu Lan carefully took out a newspaper and said, "Our factory is on the newspaper. An entire page is devoted to promoting our steel mill sports meeting. The leaders of the ministries and commissions will come to see it."

"They just want to be in the spotlight. As for giving you a holiday, I wrote many letters of denunciation, reporting Yang Jianguo and Li Weimin... and also Wang Fuqing."

"No, how do you know who Wang Fuqing is?" Zhao Xiyan asked in surprise.

"How come I don't know? It's all written in the newspaper, the Minister of Industry is Wang Fuqing." Liu Lan wrinkled her nose.

"Don't make a fuss. Men should deal with their own affairs. As a woman, you shouldn't get involved in these things... If you really get into trouble, you will be in trouble." Zhao Xiyan rubbed her head.

"I'm not afraid."

Liu Lan said firmly, "If they force me, I will die with them..."

"Don't make trouble."

Zhao Xiyan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "It's really not the case. If the steel mill doesn't want me, I won't go... I'm working in the street office now, as deputy director."

"what?"

Liu Lan covered her mouth in surprise, "You found a job so quickly?"

"The unit came to see me."

Zhao Xiyan said helplessly, "The director of our subdistrict office told me a long time ago that I should go to work in the subdistrict office, but I just didn't want to go... and now, she came to me as soon as I was given a holiday."

"Really?"

Liu Lan was a little unconvinced.

"Here."

Zhao Xiyan handed her a piece of paper.

After Liu Lan opened her eyes, her beautiful eyes suddenly turned into crescents.

"Comrade Zhao Xiyan is the deputy director of our Nanluoguxiang Subdistrict Office and enjoys deputy section-level treatment."

In addition to this line of words, there is also a bright red official seal.

"It's best not to work at the steel mill. Don't be bullied by them. Just stay at the street office."

"You, please don't write letters of denunciation anymore."

Zhao Xiyan pinched her face and said, "Do you really think the higher-ups don't know who reported it?"

"I see."

Liu Lan nodded obediently.

"Okay, I'll take you to the supply and marketing cooperative. Autumn is coming soon, so let's buy some clothes." Zhao Xiyan said with a smile.

"Don't don't."

Liu Lan bit her lip and said, "There are a lot of people in the supply and marketing cooperative. If someone sees you... then you won't be able to explain yourself."

"Okay, then where are we going?" Zhao Xiyan said with a smile.

"Why don't you... go to my place."

Liu Lan blushed and said, "You can park behind my house. It's on the main road. When the time comes, you can park your car there and come in through the small door. No one will know."

"Well, there is a small door in your house?" Zhao Xiyan asked in surprise.

"Bei Qing did it. He was afraid it would be inconvenient for you to come, so he opened a small door on the other side." Liu Lan said a little embarrassedly, "He also registered your car with the street office... He said that a friend of his lived in the house and his friend went to the south."

"No... your Yanzhi Hutong Street Office is run by his family. How can he open it whenever he wants?" Zhao Xiyan frowned.

"You don't know?" Liu Lan asked in surprise.

"What do I know?"

Zhao Xiyan was also confused.

"The director of our Yanzhi Hutong Street Office is called Bei Nian. He is his elder brother." Liu Lan said helplessly.

"Oh my god, there is such a relationship?"

Zhao Xiyan's face was full of sighs.

"if not?"

Liu Lan smiled bitterly and said, "If I didn't have any connections, would he have given me such a big house?"

"That's true."

Zhao Xiyan started the car and drove towards Yanzhi Hutong.

Liu Lan got out of the car at the entrance of the alley, and Zhao Xiyan went around to the other side, parked the car in the corner, took out the key, opened the door and walked in.

The entire backyard was spotlessly clean, the ground was paved with pebbles, and some roses were planted in the corners.

The front house is completely raised with wooden boards. It is a cabin with an all-wood structure, a bit like the Japanese style.

"Xiao Zhao..."

Liu Lan came over with a pair of slippers.

"Wow, that's really particular." Zhao Xiyan joked.

"They were all sent by Bei Qing. I just met him on the road. He was very happy to hear that you were here... but he said he had to buy some things first before coming over." Liu Lan said with a smile.

"He wasn't going to buy anything, he was just trying to avoid suspicion."

Zhao Xiyan shook his head and looked around the room.

The house is built very well, but the Japanese style is a bit taboo, and it is made entirely of wood. If a fire breaks out, the house will be destroyed.

The most important thing is that there is a small table on the floor. He is not used to it and it would be very uncomfortable to sit on the floor for a long time.

Liu Lan poured him a cup of hot tea and sat next to him.

"Xiao Zhao..."

As she spoke, there was a knock on the door.
