Break out of the courtyard

"Honey, does Cousin Ma come here and want to borrow money from us?" Chen Shuting leaned next to Zhang Heping and asked in a low voice.

"It's not about helping the poor, let alone the gambling debts." Zhang Heping replied calmly.

Jingle Bell……

The subtle ringing of the phone was inaudible to most people amid the fireworks and the laughter of children.

Zhang Heping returned to the right concierge and was wondering who was calling when he heard Director Wang's voice on the other end of the phone.

"Peace, I'm retiring!"

Snapped!

The other party hung up the phone!

This slightly unexpected phone call made Zhang Heping think about it for a long time.

On the morning of New Year's Day, Director Wang quietly told him that the top-secret department they belonged to was going to be abolished.

But now it was only the evening of the second day of the Lunar New Year, and Director Wang actually called and said he was retiring!

Combining the two messages, there is only one message that Director Wang wants to convey to him, be prepared early!

For this reason, he thought of the Lou family's real estate mentioned by Director Wang, as well as Grandma Yang's relationship with the banker, as well as those classmates who had not yet made a move...

When doing business in the country, maintaining official relations is very important.

However, Zhang Heping thought repeatedly about the Lou family's real estate and didn't want to get involved in it. It would be a trouble.

If he buys the Lou family's property and resells it to the existing tenants at a low price, is this considered charity or bribery?

If so, if he donated all the property, those tenants would not accept his favor.

Instead of trying to create new unknown connections, it’s better to stick to the ones you already have!

Therefore, Zhang Heping picked up the phone and called Director Wang, who was feeling uneasy.

"Aunt Wang, I remembered something." There was a soft response on the other end of the phone, and Zhang Heping said with a smile: "In February of last year, when I asked you to apply for a marriage certificate, I told you that I would use the money I earned to provide money to remote areas. Donate to build free schools in rural areas and provide subsidies to private teachers.”

"Yeah!" Director Wang's voice on the other end of the phone was louder.

Zhang Heping smiled and said: "I established a Peace Charity Foundation in Xindao, but I have never had the energy to do charity work in schools. After you retire, can you help me start this project? I'm worried that other people can't stand the temptation of money. , embezzling those donations.”

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while before Director Wang asked: "What are you going to do? How much money are you going to invest?"

"I haven't figured out how to do it yet. I just feel that the preference for boys over girls in rural areas is too serious, and the gap in educational conditions between cities and rural areas is too big. So I would like to ask you to start from these two aspects, and then use your personal connections to implement the money. "Zhang Heping said slightly seriously:

"As for the amount of the donation, it depends on the company's plan for the beginning of the year. This year is relatively generous. I can collect 1 million yuan for you, but next year is not certain yet."

Director Wang was silent for a while before she took a deep breath and asked, "Do you have any requests?"

"You have the intention to do good, but you won't be rewarded even if you do good." Zhang Heping smiled again: "Which of the schools you will study in the future, do you think it will be called Hope Primary School or Heping Primary School?"

"Hope Elementary School!" Director Wang said angrily: "Don't forget what you said the year before last, you have to keep your tail between your legs!"

"Hehe... If this happens, I won't have money to buy Lou's house."

"Don't worry about those houses. Pay attention to next week's conference report!" Director Wang thought for a while and said solemnly: "This kind of thing needs support from all aspects to be done well. Otherwise, it is easy to do bad things with good intentions. "

"You raise funds first, and I will privately ask friends from the Women's Federation, the Communist Youth League, and the Ministry of Education to inquire about the feasibility of this matter."

When he heard the word Women's Federation, Zhang Heping laughed, "Then I'll trouble Aunt Wang!"

After putting down the phone, Zhang Heping thought about the Fifth Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Communist Party of China to be held next week. This should be Director Wang's third subtle reminder to him.

"Cousin!" The eldest cousin Ma Lili stood at the door of the right concierge, obviously hearing what Zhang Heping said on the phone just now, "Can you lend me 1 yuan?"

"Okay!" Zhang Heping turned his back to the light, his face looking a little gloomy, "If you divorce Zhou Chengwen, your two children will belong to you, as will Courtyard No. 8."

Ma Lili was stunned by these words. She never expected that her cousin would let her divorce!

Divorce is unimaginable for most women in these days; only widows can get divorced!

"You kid is talking nonsense!" Mother Ma Xiuzhen pulled Ma Lili aside and prepared to send her out.

"Take my words to Zhou Chengwen and his parents. This is my attitude!" Zhang Heping looked seriously at the aunt and nephew at the door, "Let's see if they want a son who is a bad gambler, or you who don't have a city registered permanent residence. My wife’s surname!”

Zhang Heping had no intention of calling the police for the Zhou family. Chang Sheng, the eldest brother-in-law next door, was a railway police officer, and it was not unknown to them.

Expecting to spend money to eliminate disasters will only make those gangsters worse.

As for why Zhang Heping didn't directly help Zhou Lao Er, firstly, Zhou Laoer had no repentance, and secondly, the Zhou family had always let Ma Lili be the vanguard in this matter, making it seem as if something happened to Ma Lili's son.

The most critical point is the connivance of Zhou Laoer’s parents!

The easiest way to do this is to call the police and deny the gambling debt, thus ruining the reputation of the bad gambler.

As for the revenge of those gangsters, hehe...

The next day, the 18th, the third day of the lunar new year.

After her mother, Ma Xiuzhen, went to work at the street office in the morning, the phone rang at home and she called Zhang Heping to go to work at the street office.

On the morning of this day, Director Wang placed a brazier in the office and gave Zhang Heping's top-secret documents and files to burn with his own hands.

"It's over, we are no longer needed!" Director Wang said a little lonely: "After decades of perseverance, in the end we were disbanded because of the suspicion of a few people!"

"The current situation is different, and there are too many uncontrollable factors in our department." Zhang Heping comforted: "What the country needs is a security department that can be put on the bright side and under supervision."

Director Wang came over with a stack of confidential information and slowly threw it into the brazier like burning paper money. "This is the reason, but I can't accept it emotionally for the time being."

"After the department is disbanded, your personal files will no longer be kept confidential. What are your plans?" Director Wang looked at the blue and yellow flames in the brazier, frowned and said, "You use two identities, which is always a hidden danger."

"I was also thinking last night if I could find a job in a military factory with high confidentiality and transfer my files there." Zhang Heping said tangledly: "I'm afraid that there will be a lot of trouble after I take the job!"

"The military factory is strictly controlled and inappropriate!" Director Wang shook his head.

"If it doesn't work, I will resign and take away my personal files." Zhang Heping said with a smile: "Anyway, I don't need retirement salary."

Director Wang looked at Zhang Heping helplessly. If he was really allowed to do this, he would become a kite with a broken string, and it would be impossible to take it back after it flew away.

"My suggestion is to change your personal file name to Zhang Ping'an, and then work as deputy director of the Scientific Printing Factory. Director Sha's level of confidentiality is also very high."

"Isn't he from our department?"

"It used to be."

"Fine!"

After Zhang Heping left the sub-district office, he went straight back to Houhai.

If Director Sha used to be from their department, but not now, then there is only one possibility. Director Wang wants to introduce Zhang Heping to Director Sha's new department.

The reason why Director Sha's new department was not revealed to Zhang Heping was probably due to confidentiality reasons.

As soon as Zhang Heping returned to Court No. 7, his eldest wife Tang Xin came over to gossip.

Aunt Chen next door called the police this morning, and with the help of her eldest brother-in-law Chang Sheng, she recovered the refrigerator and washing machine.

As for the color TV, it was actually bought by Chang Sheng.

In the end, after police interrogation, the gangsters set up a trap and won Zhou Laoer... twenty-three thousand yuan!

"Didn't I borrow 1 yuan last night?" Zhang Heping was a little confused.

"The most irritating thing is this!" Chen Shuting, the young wife on the side, said angrily: "That guy went gambling again last night. Not only did he owe another 1 yuan, but he also lost his wife as a bet."

"I heard that Zhou Lao'er and those who participated in gambling will be arrested and sent to a labor camp for one year."

"Hmph! Call the police earlier, there will be so much nonsense!"
