Siheyuan: My name is Cao Xing, and I have a strong background

Same train, same scenery.

The only difference is that last time he was traveling from north to south, and he had a beautiful woman by his side.

Now I am walking from south to north, all alone.

After three long days and three nights, he finally set foot on this familiar land, the long-lost city of Beijing.

Every street and every building in this city made him feel friendly and warm.

Compared with the bustling and noisy Hong Kong, New Taipei City seems quiet and simple.

Although the development here is relatively lagging, it is less flashy and impetuous.

Here, people live at a slow and leisurely pace, as if time has been stretched out.

This atmosphere makes people feel calm and give them a rare sense of peace.

He did not return to the courtyard, but found Liao Wu first.

Let him find a yard where no one is.

With the help of Cao Xing these days, Liao Wu has more and more subordinates, and they include people from all walks of life. He is just like a small Hongmen.

Although he was a deacon of moderate importance in the Punishment Hall, his influence was in no way inferior to those of the hall masters.

Some hall masters even have to ask him for help when they have things to do.

Therefore, it was not difficult for him to find an abandoned yard.

After Cao Xing knew the location, he came to a secluded courtyard alone.

All the things in Wang Kangli’s secret room were placed in the yard.

Then he went to the steel rolling mill and drove the purchasing car to the Public Security Bureau.

The gatekeeper saw Cao Xinghe's cart full of goods and enjoyed the smell of pigs and sheep.

"Xiao Cao, you brought so many pigs this time. There must be at least 20 pigs."

Everyone in the Public Security Bureau knows Cao Xing now. These days, anyone who can get supplies has to provide him with support.

What's more, Cao Xing is the nephew of their director.

Cao Xing smiled and said, "Uncle Sun, there is more. We have ten sheep, and tomorrow we will have rice, flour and various vegetables. You will be able to enjoy a good meal in the next few days."

The policeman surnamed Sun couldn't stop laughing when he heard this.

"Hey, Xiao Cao, you are really capable. I heard that other units have already been living on coarse food."

"Then don't go out and tell others about it. If other units find me, you won't be included."

Old Sun patted his chest and said, "I'm famous for keeping my mouth shut. Besides, our Public Security Bureau is different from other units. Everyone has been trained. Who has nothing better to do than go out and talk nonsense?"

"Okay, I feel relieved with your words. You can arrange for someone to drive the car. I'll go talk to my uncle."

"Hey, don't worry, I'll watch over the pump for you, and no one dares to give you less weight."

Cao Xing said a few words of hello and went straight to the office.

"Uncle Wang, I'm back."

As soon as he opened the door, Cao Xing excitedly took credit.

However, there was another person in the office besides Wang Jianjun.

He also knew this person, who was Zheng Lingxian, the former director of the Chaoyang Branch.

Although he had only met this man once since that time in the courtyard, his capable image had always been deeply rooted in his heart.

"Oh, Director Zheng is here too. Excuse me, you two should talk first."

Wang Jianjun waved his hand and said, "It's okay, come in and sit down first."

Then he said to Zheng Lingxian: "Xiao Zheng, I will recommend you to take over as the director of the Municipal Bureau soon. I hope you can continue to work hard in the future."

Zheng Lingxian immediately stood up and saluted.

"Promise not to let the old company commander down first!"

Wang Jianjun nodded with satisfaction and said, "You also know Xiao Cao. If you have any problems, go to him."

"Yes! We will try not to trouble Comrade Cao."

Cao Xing, who was sitting on the side, interrupted immediately and said, "Wait a minute, Uncle, you said it the other way around. What do you mean Director Zheng should come to me if he has any problems? Shouldn't I come to him if I have any problems?"

Wang Jianjun smiled and said, "Ling Xian is an old soldier who has been with me since I was a company commander. He has been with me until I became a staff officer of the division headquarters. He is absolutely trustworthy. You can help each other in the future. If you have any problems that cannot be solved, come to me."

Cao Xing said helplessly: "That's fine. Anyway, I don't have any other skills except for the ability to deal with materials."

This obviously means that he will not expose his abilities in front of outsiders.

Wang Jianjun also heard it and said, "Lingxian, if you have nothing else to do, go and do your work first."

"Okay, old captain."

After saying that, Zheng Lingxian nodded to Cao Xing and walked out.

Cao Xing waited until he walked out before he said, "Uncle Wang, has Director Zheng always been like this?"

Wang Jianjun asked in confusion: "Why do you ask that?"

"Nothing, I just feel that he is too thoughtful."

Wang Jianjun smiled bitterly and said, "How many people who came from that era played simple roles?"

When Cao Xing heard this, he had nothing to say.

After all, Zheng Lingxian's ability to get things done is beyond doubt, and he is Wang Jianjun's confidant and worthy of trust.

Seeing that Cao Xing was calm and composed, Wang Jianjun couldn't help but ask.

"Tell me, boy, how did you do that?"

Cao Xing pretended to be deaf and dumb and asked, "What do you mean?"

"You little brat, you're still hiding something. Of course it's Wang Kangli's business."

Cao Xing spread his hands and said, "We have agreed that you only care about the results, not the process."

"Aren't I curious?"

"Okay then. I'll tell you. I simply took advantage of the conflict between Wang Kangli and Xiao Rizi and intensified it a little bit."

"It's easy for you to say, but it's too difficult to do it."

Cao Xing curled his lips and said, "It's too difficult, and you're still asking me? I won't tell you. The things Wang Kangli embezzled are all in the yard of No. 2790 Beihuan East Road. You can just send someone to get them."

Wang Jianjun didn't ask him how he transported it back, because he knew Cao Xing wouldn't tell him even if he asked.

"I didn't encounter any danger this time."

Cao Xing smiled and said, "It's nothing. I just used two fingers to catch a bullet that was shot at me."

Wang Jianjun thought he was joking and patted him on the shoulder.

"As long as you don't encounter any danger, I will send you on such missions in the future."

Cao Xing immediately jumped up, walked out the door, and said without looking back: "Forget it."

After leaving the Public Security Bureau, Cao Xing finally completed his mission. He drove to the steel rolling mill to pick up two pigs, and then returned to the yard.

It's already afternoon, but it's not time to get off work yet.

But Cao Xing's appearance still attracted the attention of people in the compound.

"Hey, Cao Xing? Are you back from your business trip?"

The third aunt was sitting in the shade with a few other women. When she turned around, she saw Cao Xing.

Cao Xing smiled and said, "Third Auntie, I just got back. I won't talk to you anymore. I'm too tired from taking the train. I'm going back to sleep first."

The third aunt had no choice but to give up. She had originally wanted to plead for her husband, Mr. Yan.

The entire compound now knows that Cao Xing is not to be messed with. Even people like Yan Bugui, who work in educational institutions, have been punished to clean toilets.

It doesn’t matter if I do some dirty or tiring work, the main thing is that my salary will be cut in half!

My original monthly income was more than 30 yuan, and with the gifts from my parents, it was estimated to be more than 40 yuan.

All of a sudden it dropped to a dozen yuan, which means a loss of fifty yuan in three months.

How could the Yan family, who have been calculating carefully all their lives, not be anxious?
