Break out of the courtyard

There are many factions within the Umbrella Corporation, among which the Tang family veterans are the most powerful, because they not only have long experience, but also occupy most of the management positions.

However, the Tang family veterans are not monolithic. They are divided into the eldest brother Tang Ren's faction, the second-in-command Tang Yi's faction, and Wei Chunqiao's group of the old, weak and disabled.

In addition, there are the families, children, and relatives of the veterans. Although these people add up to less than a thousand people, less than one-eighth of the total number of employees of Umbrella Company, they represent the trust of the big boss Zhang Heping.

However, since the hard drive theft in July last year, this trust has shifted towards the new generation of rookies.

This new recruit system was not monolithic. The more than 79 young bodyguards who participated in the training in April 4 had the longest qualifications, but they were divided into two parts, one in Hong Kong Island and the other in Japan.

Last year, it was two teams of young bodyguards who handled the aftermath of the hard drive.

The new people recruited later did not receive as rigorous training as the initial ones due to the work requirements of airports and stations, and their quality was mixed.

In addition, many of them did not get welfare housing in the umbrella community, so they felt inferior and gathered together for warmth, forming small groups.

In addition to these workers, there are also people like Lu Jun who come from the mainland, as well as some marginal people from other families in Hong Kong Island.

They thought they were hiding well, but they didn't know that Tang Wei had been screening their phone call records and contacting all the suspicious people.

Zhang Heping's expectation for Lu Jun was actually just to let him find out the existing security loopholes. When he came back after the New Year, he would promote a group of young people of the new generation to serve as deputies and slowly eliminate those old soldiers in their fifties.

When it comes to murder and arson, the old soldiers are more reliable. After all, they have families to support. If they dare to betray Zhang Heping, they will face the most painful revenge.

Unless, like Yang Wenmao, the former manager of logistics procurement, they owed loan sharks and their families were kidnapped by the Japanese.

Tang Ren, Tang Lie, Tang Qiang and others have not returned for a long time. In addition, Umbrella Company is Zhang Heping's company and has no obligation to report to them, which makes their persuasiveness plummet.

So, although Tang Ren tried to dissuade the old soldiers from making trouble, he did not solve the problem.

Seeing the veterans about to leave, Lu Jun frowned and threatened, "If you don't cooperate with the rectification, I will write your resistance into the report and hand it over to the boss for handling."

"Lu, stop bullying me. My uncle told you to write a rectification report with Tiger, but I didn't tell you to rectify it now. Damn it!" An old soldier captain left with his men, cursing. "When I was fighting with my uncle, this guy was still repairing the Earth in some corner!"

Tang Hu shrugged, spread his hands, and gave Lu Jun a helpless look.

Which veteran who could become a captain had not fought life and death with Zhang Heping?

Even Tang Hu, the security manager, was tactful enough not to touch upon this trust.

Although Tang Hu is a big and strong man, he has a clear mind, otherwise he would not have been promoted by Tang Ren to be the head of the Tang family's bodyguards.

"Manager Lu, why don't you write a plan for rectification first, and we'll invite President Wei to discuss it first, and then call the captains of each team to a meeting to discuss it, and finally report to the boss." Tang Hu saw that this show of force was almost over, and since Tang Ren didn't leave, he gave his opinion.

Lu Jun was at his wit's end now. He thought he could take advantage of the new official's first three fires and promote Yan Qun's people to the position of deputy captains of each team. However, he didn't expect that those old soldiers were all veterans and didn't give him any face at all.

"Just do as Ah Hu said. Whether to rectify the situation and how to rectify it depends on my brother-in-law!" Tang Ren roughly guessed what Lu Jun was thinking from Tang Hu's words and what he had heard before.

When he and Tang Hu entered the villa, Tang Ren couldn't help but ask, "Where did this Lu Jun come from? He just became the deputy manager and he wants to plant his people."

...

Zhang Heping and his family walked through the bustling roadside stalls on the north bank of Houhai Lake and just entered Courtyard 7 when they heard the midday news report on TV that after the Long March 3 carrier rocket launched the Dongfanghong- experimental communications satellite, the satellite failed to successfully enter orbit and the launch failed.

Then, a groaning sound was heard from the main room.

However, rockets and satellites are really far away from ordinary people like them. After expressing their regret, everyone started to eat the capital's noodles with soybean paste in a lively manner.

It is in the past two years that the scale of vegetable greenhouses has expanded. If it were like the years when Zhang Heping first traveled through time, there were only radishes and cabbages in the winter, and he could only eat Xishu's mixed noodles.

After finishing her noodles, Ma Xiuzhen, the mother, asked the question that concerned her most, "Heping, how long will you stay this time?"

"Ah Xin and the others can stay for a few more days. After I finish my work in the capital, I will take Shu Ting back to Hong Kong Island. There will be a lot of things to do after the New Year." Zhang Heping said, and then looked at Tang Xin. Seeing that there was nothing unusual on her face, he continued to eat noodles.

When Ma Xiuzhen and Lao Zhang heard that their grandson and granddaughter could stay a few more days, they both smiled and didn't care what their son was busy with.

Just as Zhang Heping finished his noodles, Director Wang, who had returned to the capital earlier, came to find him. Then he took Zhang Heping to Shougang, saying that he wanted to inspect the quality of a new batch of electro-galvanized steel strips.

Zhang Heping was not sent back to the Capital Hotel until 23 p.m.

The next day, before dawn, Director Wang and her Santana took Zhang Heping away again.

After three days of working early and late, Zhang Heping finally had time to go home on the evening of February 2, New Year's Eve, to have the New Year's Eve dinner.

Then, he took his wife, parents, sister, and brother-in-law to stand outside the door, watching the group of little ones setting off fireworks.

Who could have imagined at this moment that 22 years ago on New Year’s Eve, the Zhang family was so poor that they could only drink paste.

The next day, the first day of the Lunar New Year.

Zhang Heping took his family out to pay New Year's greetings, carrying many bags and small items.

First stop, the home of old company commander Zhao Ziliang!

The 63-year-old company commander responded to the call last year, retired from the army, and enjoyed the treatment of a full colonel.

"Wow!" The old company commander and his wife were standing at the door to greet them. When he saw the number of people from the Zhang family, he couldn't help but count them silently. 22 people!

The old company commander took two steps forward, shook Zhang Bing's hand, and said with a smile: "Old Zhang, that's great! You already have 13 grandchildren, more than my family has!"

"Uncle Zhao, Aunt Zhao, Happy New Year! I wish you good health and all the best!" Zhang Heping stepped forward and started greeting his family.

Then, Zhang Heping called Zhao Laoliu, who was embarrassed about not being able to give out red envelopes to his children, aside and pushed a Dior bulletproof suitcase to him, "How was the talk with your dad?"

"What else can I do?" Zhao Jianguo said with a depressed look on his face, "That old stubborn man hid my officer ID and household registration booklet, and they haven't been found yet."

Zhang Heping climbed onto Zhao Jianguo's shoulders and said with a smile, "You are your father's youngest child! He just wants you to live a good life!"

"Your father probably doesn't want you to get out of the system, so he doesn't agree with you going to Shenzhen to run a security company. Why don't you try another way and transfer to Shenzhen to become a member of the armed police?"

"Join the armed police?" Zhao Jianguo was a little hesitant, because the armed police department had been established for less than a year.

According to Zhao Laoliu's information channels, the armed police only deal with small cases such as catching thieves and hooligans, which he somewhat disdains.

"The police department is fine, the court is fine too. It would be best if you can go to Shenzhen. If you can't go, just wait until you are transferred there in the future. It's better than staying at home and getting angry with your dad." Zhang Heping patted Zhao Jianguo on the shoulder. "After you get a job, find a woman to marry! If you don't hurry up, I'll have a grandson!"

After bidding farewell to the old company commander's family, Zhang Heping and his party went to Uncle Zhuang's, Grandma Yang's, and Director Wang's home next door to wish them a happy new year.

These two companies also gave a Dior bulletproof travel case as a gift, which contained some unsold items such as Taitai oral liquid and Dior daily chemical products from last year, as well as some electronic watches, CD players, and game consoles. Taxes were paid at the airport.

According to Huang Wenli, their family moved to Beihu Province, and they have been returning there for the Chinese New Year in recent years.

Therefore, the New Year's goods for Huang Xuemin were brought back by Huang Wenli pushing the suitcase.

After sending off the Zhao, Zhuang and Wang families, the Zhang family went their separate ways to pay New Year's greetings according to old custom.

Mother Ma Xiuzhen was going to accompany Lao Zhang to visit his old comrades. Two of the four comrades who survived with Lao Zhang had passed away, leaving only Uncle Li who had both arms broken, and Uncle Tang who had lost his fingers and calves.

The New Year's goods for the comrades were prepared by Lao Zhang and his mother. Zhang Heping only gave them 4 CD players and 4 sets of CDs to take with them.

The two sisters, brother-in-law, the children, Tang Xin and Chen Shuting went back first. Zhang Heping pushed two suitcases and went to the Cancer Treatment Institute of Harmonious Hospital first. However, he was stopped by the guards who were arranged there at some point.

"Director!" Deputy Director Qin, who was called out by the guard, ran out with a look of joy on his face, "You finally remembered to come and see us!"

"I knew that some people here didn't have a holiday. Thank you for your hard work!" Zhang Heping was pushing the suitcase and had just said this when he was stopped by the guard again.

"Why are you stopping me? This institute belongs to Director Zhang!" Deputy Director Qin was fed up and wanted to say something, but was stopped by Zhang Heping.

"It's his duty!" Zhang Heping put down the two suitcases with a smile, "It's New Year's Day, let's understand each other!"

"Put the suitcases outside first. You can distribute them to the people in the institute later. Each person will get one set of cosmetics. Are 30 sets enough? You called me last time and told me that you would add more staff. I brought 10 extra sets with me."

"Hehe!" Deputy Director Qin laughed and said, "We now have 38 people in our institute!"
