Siheyuan, Me and the Yu Sisters

In the evening, the train heading north sped by. The current steam train only travels at a speed of about 70 kilometers per hour. Zhang Renkang and Wang Fang lay down in the sleeper car arranged by their superiors with tired faces to rest. Especially Wang Fang, who still had a trace of fear in his mind.

This morning, according to the office's arrangement, he and Zhang Renkang returned to the mainland through the Shenzhen River Port. Before the security check, Wang Fang suddenly discovered that all the people entering the customs were driven into a small room one by one for search.

The film he hid inside his thigh would definitely not escape the search. Wang Fang felt a chill on his back and subconsciously wanted to go back, but Zhang Renkang, who had already noticed something was wrong with him, held his arm.

Zhang Renkang said softly

"If you go back now, you won't be able to get out. You will definitely be investigated separately."

“Give me the stuff”

Wang Fang hesitated for a few seconds. Now he could only trust Zhang Renkang. If he could smuggle the gold bars into Hong Kong Island, he should be able to bring the film back.

Wang Fang took advantage of the crowd to pretend to bend over and reached into his pants to take out three rolls of film and stuffed them into Zhang Renkang's pockets. He said softly:

"This thing was bought at the cost of my life. You must find a way to bring it back."

Zhang Renkang said nothing, quietly stuffed it into his sleeves and threw it into the space, humming and saying

"I know"

He was already somewhat dissatisfied with Wang Fang. Not only did this guy act on his own, but he also almost got them killed. Although he didn't know where the film came from or what was recorded in it, looking at the movements in the port in the past few days, he knew that if John's people searched this thing, Zhang Renkang and Wang Fang would never be able to go back in their lifetime, and the other side would never admit that they existed.

Naturally, after a humiliating search, they successfully passed the checkpoint except for losing a little money that they had deliberately left outside, and were taken away by several plainclothes officers who had been waiting in the inland area.

At this time, Zhang Renkang was frightened. He already knew what was in the three rolls of film. He was so scared that he slumped in his chair and couldn't recover for a long time. As for how to explain that he had not been searched, Zhang Renkang picked up his suitcase, felt around inside and opened a secret compartment. There was a small gold bar inside. This was a suitcase he had specially ordered before leaving, just to cover up his whereabouts.

Explained

"I stuffed two small gold bars into their pockets, and there was nothing in my suitcase except clothes. They searched it and let me in."

They were already overjoyed to have the film back, and they stopped questioning Zhang Renkang and Wang Fang. They were able to bring back this valuable information, which proved their position better than anything else. What else did they need to verify?

After they sent a telegram to Sijiucheng and received instructions, they enthusiastically booked a sleeper berth for them to Sijiucheng and drove them to the station until they were put on the carriage.

Wang Fang glanced at Zhang Renkang across from him and said with some guilt and apology:

"Renkang, I"

Zhang Renkang didn't want to argue with him now, so he waved his hand and said

"Okay, I'm glad you're back."

"Even if you want to keep this a secret, you can't use your comrades as human shields, right?"

Wang Fang said with guilt

"This is not the first time I've encountered something like this. I thought the checkpoint wouldn't be very strict when we return."

Zhang Renkang shook his head and said

"I think your professional skills are amateurish. They have made such a big fuss these days. The port has been blocked. Can you not search it?"

"Forget it, let's think about how to report back."

"Let's check it out in the next few days to avoid any more trouble when we return."

……

After talking to each other on the way, and staying in a certain place for a day and a night, Zhang Renkang finally smelled the rare free air of the city. Although he could hear the boiling slogans outside, he saw a sea of ​​green everywhere when he entered the city.

The determined look on the young and tender face was already on the wider and cleaner road. Zhang Renkang signaled his driver to rush to Nanluoguxiang. He wanted to go back and have a rest first. It would not be too late to go to the factory tomorrow.

Anyway, we have already reported the way to contact the Western channels. Tang Fu and Li Ming are still in Hong Kong Island. When Mark and Anna obtain domestic authorization, they will naturally contact Lou Huaijin. Tang Fu and others will report to the country through the office, and the Ministry of Industry can send a second delegation to discuss prices and quantities.

Whether Zhang Renkang will go or not will depend on the specific notification from the Ministry of Industry. However, Zhang Renkang has made an indelible contribution to the successful opening of this new source of equipment. The higher-ups should also be considering commending him.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, Zhang Renkang was stopped by Yan Bugui. Yan Bugui was stunned for a long time before recognizing Zhang Renkang and shouted in surprise

"Director Zhang?"

"You're back now. Look at me. I haven't seen you for a while. I don't recognize you."

Yan Bugui saw Zhang Renkang coming back with a small suitcase and said with a smile:

"Can I help you lift it?"

Zhang Renkang smiled and shook his head and said

"What do you mean factory director or not? You are being too distant, uncle."

"What is Second Master doing at the door so early in the morning?"

Yan Bugui usually waits at the door in the afternoon when everyone is about to return to the courtyard. It is impossible for him to wait for anyone in the morning today.

Yan Bugui looked at it carefully, took Zhang Renkang's arm and said

"Renkang, you don't know yet?"

"The idiot is back"

"And they are clamoring to give Qin Huairu's family an explanation."

Zhang Renkang was a little surprised and looked at Yan Bugui curiously.

"Silly Zhu shouldn't have finished his sentence yet, right? Did he run away without permission?"

Zhang Renkang knew that Sha Zhu was sent to a ranch in the north for labor reform. Although it was not far from Sijiu City, the security there was relatively tighter. How could Sha Zhu run back?

Yan Bugui shook his head and said

"Yes, Shazhu was released."

"They said that my sentence was reduced because I behaved well."

"Just now he was clamoring to go to the street office to ask for an explanation, but the wife of Old Yi ran to the factory to call Old Yi."

"You better be careful when you go in. I don't think this idiot Zhu is suffering. His rosy face shows that he is fuller than the rest of us."

Zhang Renkang nodded and said

"Is Shazhu in the yard now?"

Yan Bugui nodded and said

"Yes, in the old lady's room."

"I know Qin Huairu has moved out. I just scolded her in the middle courtyard. Now I am staying in the old lady's room."

Zhang Renkang smiled and said

"Don't worry about him. This courtyard is not the right place for him to leave. If he behaves well, it's fine. But if he wants to cause trouble again, there are plenty of ways to deal with him."

Yan Bugui nodded. He reminded Zhang Renkang urgently that he had no good intentions. Just now, Sha Zhu ran to Yan's house to scold him. Yan Bugui was still angry.

He didn't dare to provoke Sha Zhu, but there were people in this courtyard who couldn't afford to offend Sha Zhu. Suddenly, he saw Zhang Renkang coming back, and subconsciously put eye drops on Sha Zhu.
