Siheyuan: Fishing for All Things

"Oh, you got promoted?" Lin Shaowen joked.

"Agent, agent..."

Xu Shen said embarrassedly, "The big boss thinks that my old bones are still useful, so he let me come up and try."

"You old thing never tells the truth. You have to put the word "agent" before your position. I will eat the table today." Lin Shaowen laughed and scolded.

"Hey, after all, nothing can be hidden from Minister Lin." Xu Shen flattered.

"Okay, sit down."

After Lin Shaowen invited everyone to sit down, he said in a deep voice, "District Chief Wang called everyone here, I think it's also about the "South-to-North Water Diversion" project..."

...

Everyone listened to his story seriously, and asked some questions from time to time, and they were all answered by Lin Shaowen.

Four o'clock in the morning.

Everyone got up tiredly.

"We will discuss this matter at the meeting tomorrow and listen to the opinions of other comrades." Bi Yanjun said seriously, "Shao Wen, we have seen your and Hua Xing's efforts... Afterwards, we will compensate you."

"Let Lao Wei go to talk." Lin Shaowen rubbed his eyebrows, "Don't come to my place for meetings in the future... There are too many people here."

"It's not that we want to come to you, you are not a general manager, and it is not appropriate to go to the United Front Department every day..." Guan Qi shook his head, "So it's best to talk about it at home, but what you said is indeed a problem."

"It's simple."

Xu Shen smiled, "There is an alley behind Lao Lin's shed... Let him open a door there tomorrow, and everyone can go in and out from there in the future."

"No... Can't I go to your house?" Lin Shaowen frowned.

"Cough cough cough..."

Everyone started coughing immediately.

"It's not suitable for me and Lao Guan."

Bi Yanjun spoke first, "We have more people... every move is watched by many people."

"It's not suitable for my family either."

Xu Shen said hurriedly, "I just got a place to live approved by the higher-ups, and I'm going to live with Lao Guan and the others."

"It's not suitable for me either."

Li Jingjiu shook his head and said, "I live with my old man, and there are many people in the compound... It's not suitable for people who come in and out frequently."

"Well, then come to my place." Lin Shaowen sighed helplessly, and said regretfully, "No... Why do I feel that the people in the United Front Department are all my acquaintances?"

"The people you are in contact with are all the top cadres in China, aren't they all acquaintances?" Xu Shen joked.

"You count as one too?" Lin Shaowen teased.

"Hey, Old Lin... This is not my idea, don't hold me back." Xu Shen said aggrievedly, "If you have the guts, go find the big boss. Why do you always hold me back and bully me?"

"Hahaha."

Everyone laughed in unison, but was stopped by Wang Hongmei.

"Keep it down, Jingru and the others are all asleep."

"Okay, let's go."

Bi Yanjun smiled and led everyone out of the yard.

Lin Shaowen sent them to the door and was about to turn back, but he saw a pair of eyes staring at him intently, which was fine.

The eyes actually emitted an orange light.

"Fuck."

He punched the man and knocked him down directly.

"Uncle, what the hell are you doing?" Yan Bugui cursed in a low voice.

"Old Yan?"

Lin Shaowen was slightly stunned and hurriedly helped him up.

Yan Bugui took off his glasses, looked at the snowflakes on them, and said resentfully, "Look, you broke my glasses, you have to pay for it..."

"No, Old Yan, you didn't do it on purpose, did you?" Lin Shaowen frowned.

"Fuck you, am I that kind of person?" Yan Bugui glared, "I won't ask you how much... just give me ten yuan, the extra is my medical expenses."

"Ten yuan? Why don't you rob? Five yuan at most... take it if you want it, forget it if you don't want it." Lin Shaowen gritted his teeth.

"Well, it's not easy for you either, just give me five yuan." Yan Bugui sighed.

Lin Shaowen took a long time to find four yuan and ninety-five cents from his pocket.

"No, you don't even have five yuan? Why are you still the deputy factory director?" Yan Bugui said angrily.

"Damn it, go and touch our factory director Wei's pocket. If you can find two dollars, I'll consider you a ruthless person." Lin Shaowen rolled his eyes at him, "That's all I have... If you want it, take it. If you don't want it, forget it."

"Okay, let me take the loss." Yan Bugui waved his hand generously, then lowered his voice and said, "Uncle, how about... let's talk for a moment?"

"Hmm."

Lin Shaowen looked at him and said in surprise, "What happened again?"

"This news is worth at least 20 dollars."

Yan Bugui said proudly, "I know you don't have it now, just pay me the salary next month..."

"Tell me about it." Lin Shaowen asked curiously.

"Let's go."

Yan Bugui pulled him out of the yard and whispered a few words.

"Well, they want me and Lin Yue to do a paternity test?" Lin Shaowen said in surprise.

"Not only that, but also Lin Jing..." Yan Bugui laughed, "Uncle, do you think this news is worth twenty?"

"Well, I think it's only worth ten dollars." Lin Shaowen pouted.

"No, how can it only be worth ten dollars?" Yan Bugui was immediately anxious.

"Damn, Lin Yue and I have nothing to do with each other, if you want to test it, just go for it." Lin Shaowen said disdainfully, "I give you ten dollars because you and I are family... otherwise this news is not worth ten dollars."

"No, I let you know about this in advance... Can't you make preparations?" Yan Bugui said embarrassedly.

"Fuck you, if Lin Yue is mine, I will prepare in advance... No, I don't need to prepare in advance." Lin Shaowen rolled his eyes, "Even if Lin Yue is my child, what's there to be afraid of going to PUMC? I have connections in PUMC."

"Well, you have connections in PUMC?" Yan Bugui said in surprise.

"The vice president of PUMC is my teacher."

Lin Shaowen lowered his voice and said, "This matter would be terrifying if it was verified in the 49th Hall..."

"Oh, how do you say this?" Yan Bugui suddenly became interested.

"Think about it, am I the president of the 49th Hall now?" Lin Shaowen curled his lips and said, "I am the top leader, and there are four second-in-commands under me... If they knew this, Lin Yue would become mine even if it wasn't mine."

"The second-in-command and the top leader are naked hatred."

"That makes sense."

Yan Bugui slapped his thigh, "Uncle, don't forget the ten dollars and five cents..."

"No, your fucking five cents is also included?" Lin Shaowen said dissatisfiedly.

"Hey, it's just a small business."

Yan Bugui said embarrassedly, "You are the director of Huaxing... A hair you pluck is thicker than my waist, why do you care about these trivial things?"

"Don't you know who took my money?" Lin Shaowen said with a squint.

"Then go out and treat patients." Yan Bugui said hypocritically, "You are the most promising young man in our yard, you can't be worse than Bai Guangyuan, right?"

"Okay, ten yuan and five cents, I'll pay you next month."

Lin Shaowen sighed and walked into the yard.
