Siheyuan: Since 1962

Chapter 221 Toys
"Wei Min, we know what you said. We just can't stand his stingy look. Every time he looks at us, he's like he's on guard against thieves."

Sun Yiwei smiled and patted Zhou Weimin on the shoulder, then said with some disdain: "Director Yang of your factory is not as good as Li Huaide, don't get too close to him. Everyone knows that he usually looks down on capitalists and says that capitalists are parasites of the country. This time something happened, but he doesn't think that they are parasites, but there is no other way. If he bows to Li Huaide this time, we can still look up to him."

Zhou Weimin looked at everyone in surprise and found that no one was surprised by what Sun Yiwei said, and a few people nodded slightly.

He didn't expect that as soon as the food arrived at the steel mill, these people already knew about Yang Shibin's actions.

I thought about it and understood it.

He, the canteen director, is the lowest-ranking person here. The others are all influential people in their respective units, so it is normal for them to have such information.

Standing next to Tao Sixue, a square-faced middle-aged man in blue-gray work clothes strode up to Zhou Weimin and said righteously, "You are the only one who talks too much, Weimin. Don't listen to this old man's nonsense. Your Director Yang is actually doing a good job. If Li Huaide was the director of the steel mill, your factory would probably be in a mess now. Don't think about getting close to someone or getting far away from someone. As long as you do practical things, no matter who is the director, no one can touch you."

Sun Yiwei pretended to straighten his clothes and introduced with a hint of sarcasm: "When you become the director of the flour mill, you speak differently. You even speak with more authority. Come on, Weimin, let me introduce you to our big director, Comrade Zhang Hongjiang. He was a comrade-in-arms with your Director Yang in the past, and he can't stand us saying bad things about his comrades-in-arms."

When Zhang Hongjiang saw him like this, he almost laughed out of anger. He just wanted Zhou Weimin to keep his original heart and he was actually speaking for Lao Yang.

"Okay, Hong Jiang is doing this for Wei Min's own good. Yang Shibin is the director of the steel mill after all. There's no need to make things too awkward with him."

When Duan Weihong saw that everyone had admitted their identities, he stood up and interrupted Sun Yiwei's irrelevant remarks.

He waved his hand and led everyone into the house and sat down around the table.

"Wei Min, I called you over this time so that you can get to know these brats. If there is anything in the future, you guys can support each other. However, you brats are all busy, and you can't all get together at once."

"Uncle Duan, we have all the people here this time. Meng Guozheng has just been appointed as the deputy director and has many cases on his hands. He can't just drop the cases and come to see you. If he really comes, you should kick him out."

Sun Yiwei took the initiative to pour tea for the few people, and did not forget to take over Duan Weihong's words with a smile.

When Zhou Weimin heard Meng Guozheng's name, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Meng Guozheng? Is that Captain Meng from the Public Security Bureau? It was thanks to Captain Meng last time that I can live a peaceful life now."

"If it weren't for you, Wei Min, I don't know when Meng Guozheng would have been able to become the deputy director. It's almost as if he is thanking you."

Jiang Ping took the cup of water, smiled and shook his head.

If Zhou Weimin had not achieved such an amazing record, he would not have been able to sit here just because he distributed snacks to the workers.

Sun Yiwei has such a bad temper that he can't be so enthusiastic in recognizing people.

I have to persuade this little brother from now on. It is not a good thing for him to not take any credit for himself.

If you don't publicize it and don't let others know, no one will know that the credit is yours and how can you move up then?

Zhou Weimin nodded, then pretended to be helpless and shook his head and sighed: "Captain Meng, it's a pity. I was thinking about how to invite him for a drink to build a relationship." "What's a pity? He is busy for a while and takes a break. There are plenty of opportunities for us to drink together. But this time, Elmhead and Meihua were both unavailable, which is a bit of a pity. I thought you young people could talk to each other when you get together."

Sun Yiwei sat down again, and the smile on his face faded a little when he talked about the other two people who did not come.

"Shiming and Chuanzhi have gone to serve the country. Yiwei, stop complaining. Go visit their families more often and don't let them get bullied."

Speaking of the two of them, Zhang Hongjiang also missed them a little. Since the two of them suddenly went on a business trip two years ago, they have never returned.

He didn't know how the two were doing now. All he could do was visit their families from time to time, but he couldn't get any news from them at all.

"Wei Min, don't blame them for not being clear. Shi Ming and Chuan Zhi are back so we can introduce them to you. There will always be opportunities to meet them in the future. Just listen to them and forget about these two names when you leave the house."

Jiang Ping glared at the two of them, then began to instruct Zhou Weimin.

These two have become level seven engineers in the past two years. Whatever they do is kept absolutely confidential, and even their family members are protected by special people.

If Zhou Weimin went back and asked about it out of curiosity now that these two old guys brought it up, he might be taken away for investigation. Wouldn't that be asking for trouble?

"Oh, oh, I just thought of something and didn't notice..."

Zhou Weimin laughed, causing everyone to laugh again.

Just when everyone thought Zhou Weimin was just passing over the matter, he continued, "Brother Sixue, when I came in just now, I heard that you were going to Bald Eagle in a couple of days. Did I hear that correctly?"

Tao Sixue nodded gently and asked softly, "Yes, I'm going there in a couple of days to take care of some things. Is there anything you need me to bring back?"

For those who have never been to the Bald Eagle, it is normal to be curious about that place. As long as it does not affect the mission, he will not refuse to help bring some things back.

"Brother Sixue, I have an immature idea. Please don't laugh at me when I tell you about it."

Zhou Weimin nodded first, then shook his head, hesitated for a moment before continuing: "When our relationship with the Russians was still good, I saw the children's toys made by the Russians. They were simulation models of tanks and guns. Some of them were made very delicately, with plastic guns, and the structure inside looked almost the same as the real thing."

"Just like the real thing, Maozi's toys are made based on the real thing... Weimin, what do you mean?"

Zhang Hongjiang had obviously come into contact with Maozi's toys and gave a direct affirmative answer.

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he understood what Zhou Weimin meant.

There was no fool at this table. As soon as Zhang Hongjiang said it, they knew what Zhou Weimin wanted to say.
