Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 1768 The Hurdle in My Heart (Make up for the June Overdue Update)
The four of them smoked for a while in the office and the matter of the internal audit agency was finalized.

After this incident is over, we will start to set it up.

Of course, the plan must be written in advance so that it can be submitted to Mr. Chen for approval.

The draft of the plan was naturally written by Yang Xiaotao, the proposer.

As for the organizational structure and staffing, this can only be supplemented later.

Of course, Yang Xiaotao is the most suitable person to lead this department.

If nothing else, it’s because ordinary people can’t handle the branch factories of chemical plants and pharmaceutical factories.

What's more, there is a steel plant and a research center, and people need to be sent to the second branch as well.

So, on the whole, Yang Xiaotao is the most suitable leader.

The consensus was reached and the four of them didn't say anything more.

Yang Xiaotao and Liang Zuoxin could still endure the hard work over the past few days, but Yang Youning and Liu Huaimin, who were middle-aged, could not bear it.

Everyone went back to rest, but Yang Xiaotao went out and prepared to go home.

Anyway, with Liang Zuoxin in charge, there shouldn't be any problems for him, the deputy captain, to return.

Besides, he heard during the day that Sha Zhu was released, so he also wanted to go back and see what was going on.

If this idiot Zhu dares to do anything to Ran Qiuye out of hatred, he will definitely have his three legs broken.

After saying something to Liang Zuoxin, Yang Youning and others, Yang Xiaotao left the office building and walked towards the parking lot.

Only halfway through the walk, Yang Xiaotao felt something and took out a bag of beef jerky and some unpacked instant noodles from the space.

Carrying the water bottle, walk towards the other side step by step!
That is where people are detained. Those who have no problems, or minor problems, like Qin Huairu and Sha Zhu, will basically be taken back by the street office and educated or punished.

As for those who are found guilty, they will be detained together.

To this end, the machinery factory specially cleared out two warehouses and, after simple reinforcement, formed a small compartment, with one person detained in each compartment.

The warehouse is filled with security guards, and even inside there is a guard every three steps. There are even special people watching over the compartments of some important personnel.

When Yang Xiaotao arrived at the warehouse, someone was being brought out for interrogation.

Although this man was wearing the clothes of a machinery factory, he did not look like someone from the factory.

Only when the person came closer did Yang Xiaotao recognize who the woman was.

Zhuang Jinyan.

It just so happened that Zhuang Jinyan also saw Yang Xiaotao. Thinking of what happened last night, her face became embarrassed and she quickly lowered her head and left.

Only after seeing Zhuang Jinyan leave did Yang Xiaotao walk into the warehouse.

Before he even walked in, Yang Xiaotao smelled a pungent, foul odor.

"Team Yang!"

The people in charge of guarding were from the Security Department of the Machinery Factory, and no one stopped Yang Xiaotao from coming in.

The leading captain came forward to greet him. Yang Xiaotao nodded and took out a pack of cigarettes and handed it to the captain, "Comrades, you have worked hard. You can't be careless at night."

The captain took the cigarette and saw that it was an unopened Zhonghua. He immediately smiled and assured, "Captain Yang, don't worry. The brothers will open their eyes wide and separate the male and female mosquitoes!"

Yang Xiaotao smiled and said, "I love to hear that!"

The captain smiled and said that Captain Yang was more approachable than Captain Liang, and was very generous.

It is said that Captain Yang always has cigarettes and candies in his pockets.

"Where is Li Nan?"

"Captain Yang, I'll take you there!"

"No, just tell me!"

"okay!"

The captain took a look at what Yang Xiaotao was holding in his hand. It should be beef jerky.

Captain Yang is not only generous, but also very caring to his brothers.

Unfortunately, this brother is a troublesome person!

Yang Xiaotao carried his things to a cubicle. There was no window on the door, only two words written on the side.

Li Nan!

The security guard nearby came forward to open the door, and Yang Xiaotao pushed it open and walked in.

The cubicle was dark and I couldn't see people's faces clearly. When I opened the door, the stench became stronger and there were buzzing words flying towards me.

Looking around, I saw that there was only a table in the small room, and on the table was a large enamel pot for eating, without a lid.

There was a wooden barrel in the corner, emitting a foul smell.

There is nothing else besides this.

That table is both a stool and a bed for sleeping.

At this moment, in the corner near the wall, a figure curled up and raised his head.

"Xiao Tao?"

The voice was dry but with a hint of surprise.

Yang Xiaotao hummed and put the things on the table, "I was too busy these two days and didn't come to see you!"

"Brother Wang and the others wanted to come, but this place..."

As Yang Xiaotao spoke, he opened the kettle on his back, poured out the hot water, walked around the enamel pot, put the instant noodles in, and poured in hot water.

After doing all this, he looked at Li Nan who was in front of him.

Li Nan has lost a lot of weight in the past few days. His cheeks used to be plump, but now they are sunken.

His hair was a mess and he looked depressed.

However, when he saw Yang Xiaotao, there was a bit more emotion in his eyes.

"I can't come here often, you know!"

Li Nan nodded, then took the jar, sniffed it, and grinned, "It's still the same smell!"

Back then, when they went to Yang Xiaotao's house to help build a house, Yang Xiaotao cooked a pot of noodles. At that time, he and Xing Jiaqi were arguing about whether chicken or beef flavor was better.

Now that I think about it, as long as it’s noodles, it’s delicious.

What a pity, I don’t know if I will be able to eat it in the future!

Yang Xiaotao felt upset after hearing this, but he couldn't give any guarantees.

You choose your own path, and you have to keep going no matter how bumpy or rugged it is.

"The situation at home is fine, don't think too much!"

After a long while, Yang Xiaotao finally spoke, "But, the fine is certain!"

"But we brothers are here, we won't let them starve. Don't worry!"

Li Nan nodded while holding the jar.

He understood this in his heart, and he also knew that his brothers were people who kept their promises.

The two were silent, not knowing how to continue the conversation.

"Keep this bag of beef jerky. Eat it when you're hungry."

Finally, Yang Xiaotao put the beef jerky on the table and said, "I'm leaving first!"

"Ok!"

Li Nan nodded in agreement. Yang Xiaotao turned and left, and the wooden door closed again.

It was so dark in the room that I couldn't see any outline!
suck...

Li Nan picked up the chopsticks and started eating. He didn't want Yang Xiaotao to see him crying.

He tried to act normal.

But at this moment, the tears fell into the jar, into the soup full of chicken flavor, and it tasted bitter.

Yang Xiaotao stood outside the door, lit a cigarette, and sparks flickered little by little.

After a long while, he finished smoking a cigarette and walked out.

Outside the warehouse, when Yang Xiaotao came out, Yu Zecheng was smoking beside him.

When the two met, they walked aside.

"Are you going back?"

Yang Xiaotao nodded, "Is there anything I can tell you to take back?"

"Ahem, well, I just remembered that tomorrow is Shitou's birthday."

"You can't go back, can you?"

Yu Zecheng sighed and shook his head, taking a deep puff on the cigarette in his hand.

"Okay, I get it, leave it to me."

Yang Xiaotao was about to leave, but after taking a few steps, he came over again and said, "Old Yu, I want to ask you something. If it's inconvenient for you, you don't have to tell me."

Yu Zecheng threw the cigarette butt on the ground and said, "You want to ask the person inside."

"Correct!"

"This time, Mr. Chen's attitude is consistent with that of the higher-ups, and they will deal with it strictly and quickly."

Yang Xiaotao nodded after listening, "I understand."

Yu Zecheng patted Yang Xiaotao on the shoulder and said, "But he has made meritorious contributions and has made a breakthrough in the investigation. His life can be saved, but..."

"As long as I can save my life, it's good enough. As long as there is still a chance."

Yang Xiaotao has nothing to pray for, as long as he is alive, there is a chance.

After saying that, Yu Zecheng continued to work, while Yang Xiaotao drove away from the machinery factory.

We hurried all the way and soon returned to the entrance of the alley.

The car stopped at the entrance of the alley. When Yang Xiaotao got out, he saw that the gate of the courtyard was open, the lights at the door were still on, and there were people on both sides holding palm-leaf fans to cool off.

Yang Xiaotao walked forward, greeted Feng Liang and the others, and then walked into the yard.

When they got home, Ran Qiuye was preparing the children for bed. As soon as Yang Xiaotao came back, the children immediately lost their sleepiness.

One by one they stood up and circled around Yang Xiaotao, hugging one and putting that one down. In an instant the room was bustling with activity.

"Dad, Xiaodang's mother said you are a bad person, but she is the bad person."

Miaomiao was picked up by Yang Xiaotao and immediately started to complain.

Duanwu beside him also nodded, "Dad, Xiaodang Huaihua, they also said that you are a bad guy, wait for me to beat them up."

Even though Duanwu is four years younger than Xiaodang, this guy has been strong and growing fast since he was young. Now he is almost as tall as Xiaodang.

Even the sisters Yueyue and Rongrong are growing very fast. Although they are girls, they are very strong.

Normally, the three children of the Yang family play in the yard, and they feel like big kids.

And most kids of the same age really can’t beat them.

At the very least, she is stronger than the two girls of the Jia family.

But this child looks like his parents. Yang Xiaotao and Ran Qiuye are not short. As for Yang Xiaotao, you can say he is thin, but his strength is not inferior to Zhou Kui.

So naturally this child has to be strong.

Looking at Xiaodang and the others, the first person everyone thought of was Jia Dongxu.

With that physique, I guess Xiaodang Huaihua just follows him.

Hearing Duanwu's words, Yang Xiaotao laughed, and Ran Qiuye beside him directly reached out and knocked on his son's head, "Boys can't bully girls."

Duanwu covered his head, then looked at his eldest sister, then looked at his two younger sisters, and Xiaoyu, his eyes rolling.

"Okay, everyone go to bed. Whoever falls asleep faster will get a piece of candy tomorrow."

"Oh, I want some candy."

Hula la

A group of children ran to the bed, lay down quickly and closed their eyes.

"You, how can you be a father like this? You even need to coax him with candy."

The two of them went out and returned to the main room. Ran Qiuye poured water and said helplessly. Yang Xiaotao took the cup and said, "If I don't say this, you can forget about working tonight."

"What are you doing?"

"Of course with my beloved wife."

"Not serious."

Ran Qiuye sat aside and picked up the water cup herself. Yang Xiaotao smiled, and then the two talked about things in the courtyard.

"Shazhu is going to the housekeeper's manor?"

"Isn't it Caojiagou?"

Yang Xiaotao put down the cup and said with a smile in his eyes. Ran Qiuye nodded, "We were also surprised to hear the news. We didn't expect it to be like this."

"By the way, this matter has nothing to do with us."

Yang Xiaotao shook his head, and then told the story from the very beginning.

Ran Qiuye covered her mouth, "This, this won't be a problem, right?"

"What can happen?"

Yang Xiaotao didn't care about Ran Qiuye's worries, he reached out and shook her hand, "Don't worry, it's all resolved."

"Besides, there are voices from above these days that say speculation should be treated differently from commodity trading. Farmers selling chickens and eggs is called an active market economy, but buying here and selling there to try to earn the difference is called speculation."

"We sell things for our own use, and at most we promote the prosperity of the market."

After hearing what Yang Xiaotao said, Ran Qiuye finally put the little bit of worry in her heart to rest.

Ignoring the matter of Sha Zhu, Yang Xiaotao talked about the situation he encountered this time.

Ran Qiuye listened quietly at the side without expressing any opinion.

She was not a talkative person, and she knew that what her man told her were lessons and experiences to help her avoid making the same mistakes.

The two talked until almost midnight before they prepared to rest.

Yang Xiaotao went into the room to take a shower, then lay down on the bed, and then the two of them began to express their love for each other.

After a long time, Yang Xiaotao was sweating again, but he hugged Ran Qiuye without caring.

"By the way, wife."

"If you have time, go to Li Nan's house often, bring some things, and talk to them."

Ran Qiuye felt weak all over and could only nod slightly after hearing this.

She knew that this was a hurdle in Yang Xiaotao's mind.
