Free Days in Siheyuan

Chapter 1136 Creepy
How dare he live in a family compound built like this, and even dare to let his whole family live there?
Are they really not afraid of problems, or is there something else fishy going on?

It’s a pity that it happened so long ago that many things can’t be traced back to the past. Several people who were responsible at the time have disappeared, as if they didn’t exist.

Director Li frowned, feeling more and more that there must be something wrong here.

He asked his old comrade to help him check the county archives and learned that when the family compound was first built, this place was still a vacant lot that was temporarily cleared by the government department.

At that time, an urgent task was temporarily assigned by the superiors. In order to complete the task, many experts and outstanding masters from various factories were seconded from all over the place.

Most of these experts have families, and placing their families has become a big problem.

We can't ask those experts and masters to travel thousands of miles from all over the country. For the country, these masters and experts work hard and devote all their energy.

But we can’t even take care of their families here.

The higher-ups also took this into consideration, and so issued an order requiring the county to build a family compound near the factory to accommodate the families of these people as quickly as possible.

After receiving the task, the county immediately organized a county-wide meeting. After some discussion, it finally moved the family quarters to a vacant land west of the factory.

In order to complete the above tasks and to build the family compound as quickly as possible, after discussion, it was decided to divide the entire family compound into three parts, with three responsible persons leading their respective teams to start work.

After the construction period was completed, the experts and masters' families drew lots and moved in directly.

However, with the establishment of several large factories in Harbin, the tasks undertaken here gradually decreased, and those experts and masters who were transferred here were transferred back one after another after completing their tasks.

After the houses were taken back by the factory, two of them were mortgaged to the county government departments as land payment, and the other houses were taken back by the factory and later distributed to the factory workers, becoming the current family housing estates.

Director Li asked many old comrades for help, and through their connections, after many twists and turns, he finally found out some information.

The information he found was not very good, and it only increased his suspicion.

Of the three people responsible for building the family compound, except for one who unfortunately drowned while trying to save a child who fell into the water, the other two moved away with their families in the second year after the compound was built. As for where they moved to, it has not been found out yet.

"Knock, knock, knock!" The knock on the door interrupted Director Li's thoughts. He looked up at the door and said, "Come in."

Secretary Lin walked in.

Seeing Secretary Lin, Director Li asked, "Has the person been sent back?"

"I sent Master Zhang to the door of the guesthouse and saw him enter the room with my own eyes before returning."

After listening, Director Li nodded.

Then, as if he had thought of something, he looked Secretary Lin up and down, with a probing look in his eyes.

After a while, Director Li seemed to have made a decision and asked, "I remember hearing someone say that your parents are both senior employees of the factory. Your family has been in the factory for a long time, right?"

Secretary Lin was stunned by the question and had some bad thoughts in his mind.

Could it be that Director Li thought he got in through the back door, or...

Although his parents were partly responsible for his ability to work in the factory, it was ultimately because he was a good student and had passed the exams one by one.

Because of this, he can always stand in the front row in front of his peers.

Looking at the changing expressions on Secretary Lin's face, Director Li knew without thinking that he had misunderstood. He felt a little amused and said soothingly, "Don't think too much. I'm just asking about the previous situation in the factory." Hearing him say this, Secretary Lin suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he said, "My parents were the first batch of workers hired by the factory."

Then he added: "I got in through all my own efforts!"

After hearing this, Director Li burst out laughing. This Secretary Lin!
He nodded, indicating that Secretary Lin should continue speaking.

Seeing that Director Li really wanted to ask about the past situation in the factory instead of suspecting anything else, Secretary Lin became more and more bold as she spoke, and she started to talk about who had been at odds with whom in the factory, and who had been tripping each other up for what reasons...

Halfway through his speech, he came back to his senses, and when he thought about what he had just said, his face turned slightly red.

I want to slap myself twice. What are you talking about? Why can't you control your mouth?
He didn't know what Director Li's expression was at the moment, and he didn't dare to look up at Director Li.

Director Li's brows relaxed as he listened. Seeing that Secretary Lin suddenly stopped talking, he urged, "Go on. What happened next?"

Secretary Lin suddenly raised his head with a look of disbelief.

He didn't expect that Director Li would like to listen to these gossips.

Seeing Director Li's gossip, Secretary Lin was no longer afraid and just let himself go.

Secretary Lin spoke fluently, and Director Li was satisfied listening to him.

Until the end, he just said: "Xiao Lin, I have a task for you."

"Guarantee that it will be completed!" After this, Secretary Lin seemed to have found common ground with Director Li. Suddenly, he felt that Director Li was not so scary after all. Facing the tasks assigned by him, he held his head high and held his chest high.

"Go back and ask your parents if they know where the person in charge of building the family compound is now, and if anything special happened when the compound was built?"

Secretary Lin didn't react at first. The next second, his eyes accidentally fell on a piece of paper on Director Li's desk. Looking at the contents on the paper, he thought that Director Li seemed to be intentionally asking about the family conditions of several deputy directors before the family compound was built, as well as their current family conditions.

Secretary Lin's face turned pale as if he had noticed something.

No...it's impossible!
They can't be that bold!

Secretary Lin's face looked a little unhappy.

His parents are old employees of the factory and were also among the first batch of workers in the factory.

As mentioned before, his parents both passed the exam and were not recruited through other means like other workers.

This also means that his parents were more or less learned people at that time.

His parents have worked in the factory for many years. Although they don't have much power, they can barely be considered middle-level leaders in the factory.

Otherwise, he would not have been able to go straight into work in a factory after graduation.

After all, he has good grades, but who can guarantee that he can get into the factory?

There might be people who studied better than him when taking the exam with him, but basically none of them got in, and he didn’t understand why at the time.

After becoming the factory director's secretary, he secretly checked the results of that class and discovered that, except for the top three, the test papers of the two or three students above and below him showed signs of being replaced.
