Siheyuan: Fishing for All Things

"Speaking of which, I have to thank you." Lin Shaowen took out a cigarette and handed over two. "If you hadn't protected me back then, I would have been demoted because of 'work style issues'."

"Ha, that's true."

Xu Shen laughed, "But... do you think we can really keep it a secret from everyone?"

"I know, it's the big boss who protects me." Lin Shaowen smiled bitterly.

"That's good to know."

Lin Gang laughed and scolded, "When Minister Xu and I burned the information at night, our hearts were in our throats... After all, it was the first time for the Seventh Department to do this."

"To be honest with you, I turned down the position of Deputy Minister of the United Front Work Department seven times..." Lin Shaowen sighed, "If Minister Bi and Minister Guan hadn't lost their temper later, I really didn't want to take it."

"Sometimes, when you reach this position, you don't have many friends." Xu Shen reached out and patted his shoulder, "You have to think about this matter more openly. Lin Gang and I have been together for so many years... I don't know how many times my comrades and superiors have been arrested."

"Speaking of which, An Lan was arranged by you, right?" Lin Shaowen asked suddenly.

"That's not... um."

Lin Gang was halfway through his words when sweat broke out on his forehead, "This is not my arrangement, I just took office."

"I arranged it."

Xu Shen said frankly, "You can ask her to leave, I will arrange a new place for you... You can live next to Zhao Qingming or Bi Yanjun, you can choose one."

Lin Shaowen looked at him for a long time, and finally shook his head.

"Forget it, I'm fine with this or that."

"You're just afraid of trouble." Xu Shen laughed and scolded, "You're in this position now... There are some things you can't avoid, and they will still find you, so it doesn't matter where you live, it's safer to continue living in your original residence."

"Have you sent someone to my house?" Lin Shaowen pouted.

"We haven't done anything so shameless." Xu Shen shook his head and said, "Don't feel any psychological burden... Continue to do what you should do. We will help protect your family."

...

Lin Shaowen was silent for a long time before he let out a breath of foul air.

"Forget it. Anyway, I don't like going out. Let's leave it at that."

"Hey, that's right. It's better to think positively than anything else." Lin Gang said with a smile, "Look at Minister Bi. He goes out with his secretary, guards... a lot of people. Compared to him, you are already very good."

"That's not right. If something really happens, he still has to protect the guards. How uneconomical." Xu Shen said seriously.

"Okay, stop singing the same tune with me here."

Lin Shaowen scolded with a smile, "Let's go. Follow me to eat..."

"Where to?"

Xu Shen and Lin Gang were both quite surprised.

"Follow me."

Lin Shaowen turned around and got in the car.

The family building of the Ministry of Education.

In front of a small villa, Li Chunhua and Zhang Qing stood at the door, looking into the distance.

At this time, a Beijing 212 came speeding, followed by a Toyota Dongfeng.

Zhang Qing immediately took Li Chunhua to greet.

"Minister Lin, Minister Xu, Minister Lin Gang..."

"Minister Zhang, this is too formal, isn't it?" Xu Shen joked, "Just now, Lao Lin said he would bring me here to eat, and I was wondering, this guy has friends in the Ministry of Education? I didn't expect it to be Minister Li's lover."

"Go to hell."

Li Chunhua laughed and scolded, "Minister Lin is my old leader... I have known him for more than ten years."

"I said, why don't we talk about the past later... Help me move things first." Lin Shaowen laughed and scolded.

"Hey, here I come."

Zhang Qing and Lin Gang immediately stepped forward, but they were shocked when they saw a deer in the trunk.

"Old leader, you are here now, why are you spending so much money?" Li Chunhua laughed and scolded.

"Send some to your old man, so he won't nag me." Lin Shaowen chuckled, "Here are three baskets of oranges... Lao Xu, Lao Lin, one basket each."

"That's good enough. We can't work for you for nothing, right?"

Xu Shen and Lin Gang were immediately happy.

After the group carried the deer and oranges into the house, Li Chunhua asked Lin Shaowen and others to sit down.

The housekeeper looked at the way to the kitchen and was immediately in trouble.

"Okay, I'll make a phone call and ask my dad to bring people to deal with it."

After Zhang Qing got up and made a phone call, he returned to sit next to Li Chunhua.

"Old leader, congratulations on your promotion." Li Chunhua raised her teacup and said.

"Go to hell."

Lin Shaowen laughed and scolded, "Your congratulations are insincere... If you really wanted to, wouldn't you have come to my house?"

"Minister Lin, you are wrongly accusing your subordinate." Zhang Qing laughed and said, "I have prepared with her several times,My dad scolded me back... He said, "You are not such a flamboyant person," and told us not to cause trouble for you."

"Hahaha, after all, he is an old minister, and his words are well-spoken." Xu Shen joked.

"Hahaha."

Everyone laughed in unison.

At this time, the doorbell rang.

Zhang Qing hurried to open the door, and when he saw Li Erzhuo with Li Jingjiu and his wife, he immediately greeted them to come in.

"Hey, Minister Lin..."

Wang Hongmei laughed, "After all, you are still in high spirits. You came to show off to your subordinates as soon as you got promoted."

"That's right, I even gave gifts to my subordinates." Lin Shaowen rolled his eyes.

Puff!

Everyone laughed.

"You did a good job this time." Li Erzhuo sat beside Lin Shaowen and said seriously, "Zhao Qingming is about to die, and you blocked the wind and rain outside for his two sons... Many old people have a good impression of you. ”

This man is old, and what he fears most is that his descendants are not virtuous.

Whether it is Zhao Qingyun or Zhao Qingshan, they cannot carry the banner of the Zhao family for the time being. Now that Lin Shaowen is the guarantor, they have been given a buffer time, which is a great favor.

"I just arrived, I don't know how many troubles I have caused." Lin Shaowen sighed, "If it weren't for Mr. Zhao helping me, I'm afraid I would have died long ago..."

"It is a virtue to repay kindness." Li Erzhuo smiled, "But you are too cautious... If you want to see me, just go to my house directly. Why do you have to take a roundabout route? Or do you think the big leader doesn't know our relationship?"

"I'm not doing this for him to see." Lin Shaowen shook his head and said, "I'm doing this for people outside to see... To put it bluntly, now they have to give me three points. If I get too close to you, they will have to give me five points."

"Speaking for me can be said to be an appreciation of young cadres, but if you go too often, it will not be a good thing for both public and private. "

As soon as these words came out, everyone was silent.

After a long while.

Li Erzhuo looked at him and said, "Shao Wen, you are becoming more and more mature."

"You have fewer and fewer friends."

Lin Shaowen sighed, "Old Li keeps calling me 'old leader', I don't even know how old I am now..."

"Hahaha."

Everyone laughed.
