Siheyuan: Wang Bo's Happy Life

As the year draws to a close, the steel mill also stops production. On the last day of payroll, all the employees of the steel mill happily line up in front of the finance department, ready to receive their wages and have a good new year.

As a patrolman, Wang Bo needed to maintain order. He waited until the workers received their wages before he went over to collect his 25 yuan salary.

After receiving his salary, Wang Bo strolled back to the courtyard, humming a song.

His house was at the front of the courtyard, and he didn't know that the middle courtyard was full of people from Yi Zhonghai's family.

When Yan Jiecheng saw Wang Bo return to his house, he quickly ran to Yi Zhonghai's house and shouted, "He's back! Wang Bo is back!"

Hearing that Wang Bo had returned, Yi Zhonghai smiled and said to the people sitting in the room, "The real boss is back, so shall we hold a meeting of the entire hospital now?"

"it is good."

"can."

"Listen to Lao Yi's arrangements."

After a while, Yan Jiecheng went to knock on Wang Bo's door again. When Wang Bo opened the door, Yan Jiecheng said excitedly: "Wang Bo, hurry to the meeting at the Intermediate Court. There is something important!"

"Okay, I'll be there right away."

What could possibly happen if we held a meeting of the entire institute at this time?

While thinking, Wang Bo came to the central courtyard.

As the neighbors gradually gathered in the central courtyard, several people walked out of Yi Zhonghai's house, which surprised everyone.

Director Yang, Director Wang from the street, reporters Liu and Su who had been there before, and several street staff members came out of Yi Zhonghai's house one after another.

When everyone saw so many important figures and the two reporters with cameras, they all felt that something big was bound to happen at today's meeting of the whole institute.

Director Yang sat at the head of the eight-person table, with Director Wang and Yi Zhonghai sitting on either side. The two reporters and the street staff could only sit on the benches on one side.

Seeing that everyone was present, Yi Zhonghai stood up first:

"Dear neighbors, Director Yang, Director Wang, and two reporters have taken time out of their busy schedules to come to our courtyard to attend our general meeting. Let's welcome them with applause!"

Thunderous applause immediately broke out throughout the courtyard.

"Now, please allow Director Wang from the Subdistrict Office to speak to everyone."

Amid the applause, Director Wang stood up and first praised the No. 95 compound, saying it was positive and progressive, civilized, united and friendly, etc. Finally, Director Wang took a banner from a street staff member and said with a smile:

"In view of the fact that our compound is excellent in all aspects, the street has decided to award this year's title of 'Outstanding Street Compound' to our No. 95 compound!"

Everyone was very happy to hear this. This honor was extremely precious. Not only would it make everyone in the compound proud when they heard about it, but it would also be helpful in finding a wife or a job in the future.

Amidst applause, Yi Zhonghai, as the representative of the compound, accepted the banner. Reporter Liu also asked Director Wang and Yi Zhonghai to hold the banner together and took a photo of them.

After Yi Zhonghai handed the banner to the aunt, he asked Director Yang to speak.

Director Yang also praised and encouraged the workers in the steel rolling mill, and wished everyone a happy new year in advance. Finally, he said:

"The comrades working in the steel rolling mill in our compound are all good comrades who have devoted their wholehearted efforts to the country, especially Comrade Wang Bo. Two old comrades in our factory, Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong, praised and recommended him to me. Even Director Wang was very optimistic about him, so we decided,"

Director Yang paused, and seeing everyone's expectant look, he raised his voice and said:

"Comrade Wang Bo is awarded the title of 'Progressive Youth of the Street' and the title of 'Outstanding Employee of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill'!"

Everyone was stunned by the news. No one applauded for a moment. The whole compound was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop!

After a long while, a heated discussion broke out from below.

"Wang Bo actually received two commendations?!"

"No, why did he get this progressive youth?"

"There are more than 10,000 people in the steel mill. What contribution has he made?"

"What do Lao Yi and Lao Liu think?"

Hearing the doubts from below, the smile on Director Yang's face gradually became forced, but he still took the two silk banners and said in a joyful voice: "Comrade Wang Bo, please come forward to accept the commendation."

Instantly, everyone's eyes turned to Wang Bo.

Wang Bo was not very excited although he was recognized by both the street office and the steel mill at the same time.

Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong recommended me? What evil things are these two old guys up to?

But he is not afraid of anything. Since he is going to be commended, how can he refuse it?

Wang Bo stood up immediately, walked to Director Yang, expressed his gratitude to him, and took the two silk banners. Reporter Liu then asked Director Yang and Wang Bo to hold the corners of the two silk banners respectively and took a photo of them.

Only then did the neighbors sitting below burst into gentle applause.

Wang Bo held two silk banners and sat back calmly.

After seeing Director Yang sitting down, Yi Zhonghai stood up again and said, "Dear neighbors, we live in the city and enjoy the best treatment. We should make more contributions to the country. Last October, the central government proposed that urban educated youth go to the countryside and border areas to receive re-education from poor and lower-middle peasants."

"Our factory and our street have also actively responded to the central government's call to encourage young people to go to the countryside and actively build the frontiers of our motherland."

"To this end, Director Wang and Director Yang took time out of their busy schedules to come to our compound and call on our young comrades to actively sign up."

"under."

Yi Zhonghai paused, looked at Wang Bo with a cunning look, and then said:

"Please ask our progressive youth from the street and outstanding employee of the steel mill, Comrade Wang Bo, to express his opinion to us first!"

In an instant, everyone's eyes were focused on Wang Bo.

Wang Bo glanced at everyone's eyes, mocking, indifference, pity, doubt, watching the show, ridiculing, all kinds of life, without having to say it explicitly, were clearly displayed in these countless gazes.

The eyes of those beasts were even more naked. Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong had their revenge, Xu Damao and the deaf old lady Jia Zhang were gloating, and the other animals also had mocking faces.

Yu Shui looked worried, but Sha Zhu had a stern face and had no intention of watching the fun.

Director Wang, who was sitting above, frowned. It seemed that she was not aware of this?

But Old Yang still had a smiling face, and it was hard to tell what the old man was thinking.

Reporter Su, who was sitting on the side, lowered his head, avoiding Wang Bo, but he could hardly suppress the smile on his face.

Wang Bo, who had never regarded Yi Zhonghai as an opponent, had to admire him. He played this move very beautifully.

The top-level open conspiracy is to lay everything out in the open and force you to follow his path.

Yi Zhonghai's plan was to give Wang Bo a huge honor in front of all the leaders, all the neighbors, and reporters, and then give him a choice that he could not refuse.

If Wang Bo chose to go, the two years of life in the frontier would cost this young man from Beijing half his life!

Yi Zhonghai’s goal was achieved.

If Wang Bo chooses not to go, he will be finished!

If he refuses the call on the street, in the steel mill, and in front of reporters with such a big halo, he will be infamous in this area and no one will care about him!

Once the reporters report it tomorrow and the photo is published in the newspaper, he will become a notorious figure in Beijing and even the whole country.

By then he would really become a rat crossing the street, and everyone would shout and beat him!

Even if there are any crimes in the future, they will definitely be pinned on Wang Bo first, and then he will be executed!

Yi Zhonghai also achieved his goal.

Under the complicated gazes of the crowd, Wang Bo walked to the front of the stage with steady steps.
