Siheyuan: Fighting against the beasts under the pressure of the system

"After hearing the conductor's introduction, I was a little scared. It will take a long time, and I don't know if my body can stand it."

Li Guoyong looked at Zhang Minghui speechlessly. How could he say that? When he was sparring with me in Hong Kong Island two days ago, he was still full of energy and beat me so hard that I could hardly get off the ground.

At that time, I didn't see that you were weak in any way, but you became stronger. Now you still say this to me, I wonder if you are mocking me.

Then he started to retort Zhang Minghui. The three of them chatted and laughed until it was time to get on the bus.

There were no accidents during this four-day and five-night trip.

Last year, the nationwide crackdown led to a sudden improvement in public security. Some car thieves and road bullies were wiped out, and even those who escaped the crackdown dared not show up again.

These are all serious crimes punishable by death.

This severe crackdown effectively dealt a heavy blow to all kinds of illegal and criminal activities, and dealt a heavy blow to the arrogance of the underworld, which made the whole society's atmosphere improve a lot.

There were even fewer quarrels on the train; the deterrent effect of the crackdown had not yet worn off and everyone was afraid of being implicated.

No matter how long it takes, you will eventually reach the end.

A large crowd of people got off the train station, and after getting off, several people stretched their bodies. After sitting on the train for such a long time, they were indeed quite tired.

Especially Cheng Siyu. She looked much more haggard and listless. She had to go home and rest for a few days before she could recover.

Returning to Yaer Hutong, his own home, Zhang Minghui inexplicably felt a sense of security in his heart.

This is something he could not get in Hong Kong Island. He had to be on guard against the enemy's plot at all times. Zhang Minghui was also smart. He did not take food from others, but opened up a new way to make money.

Otherwise, all kinds of plots against him would have already followed, and he would not be able to make money so peacefully.

Li Guoqiang's organization encountered strong counterattacks from others because it was involved in other people's industries, and even experienced assassination attempts several times. If it weren't for Wang Jianjun's comrades' strong vigilance.

Someone has already succeeded.

Later, the trouble was solved, and Zhang Minghui also warned Li Guoqiang to investigate the other party's background and methods. One wrong move can lead to a complete loss. The waters of Hong Kong Island are very deep!

People won't care if you make small moves, but once you step into their base, they will use countless means against you.

But all these bad things seemed to have disappeared with the wind after I returned home, and no longer caused ripples in my heart.

When Zhang Minghui and Cheng Siyu came back, Cheng Lide and his wife were extremely excited.

They are not young anymore, over 60 years old is quite old in this era, their hair is already white. I thought Zhang Minghui and his wife went to Hong Kong Island and would not come back in a short time.

It would take at least three to five years for us to meet again, but I didn't expect that he would come back in just two years.

When they heard Zhang Minghui say that he would not leave for a few years, the two elders were overjoyed, and the big stone in their hearts finally fell to the ground.

After graduation, Xuewen and Weihong were assigned to work in the municipal government and the Federation of Literary and Art Circles, and they also had a big fat boy. After graduation, the couple enjoyed the treatment of deputy section-level officials.

After a year of internship, they have all been promoted to deputy section-level cadres. They are highly valued in their respective units and are expected to be promoted to section-level cadres next year.

After all, the reputation of a famous university is good. The country is hiring a lot of people, so they are lucky to have caught up with the good time, and the older generation is retiring one after another.

It also gave them great opportunities. Zhang Minghui estimated that they would become department-level cadres within a few years.

However, for department-level cadres, it is best to let them go to the local level to govern. Only when they have rich grassroots work experience will they be valued by the leaders above.

It will speed up their improvement.

Although Zhang Minghui could not give the two much help in official terms, he could give them a lot of support economically. Now the country needs a lot of foreign exchange and economic construction.

Zhang Minghui has unique conditions here. Plenty of money and knowledge far beyond others will definitely help both of them advance in their careers.

......

end of June.

It was only a few days away from the New Year of 84. Zhang Minghui had just cleared the snow in the yard when he heard someone shouting at the door.

"Minghui, are you home?"

Zhang Minghui put the broom under the eaves, shook off the snow on his body, and walked forward while shouting.

"At home! Who is it?"

The door creaked and made a dull sound. Zhang Minghui looked out and saw Xu Damao, whom he hadn't seen for many years, in front of him. He immediately greeted him warmly.

"Oh, it's Brother Damao! We haven't seen each other for many years. Come in quickly, come in quickly."

Xu Damao smiled particularly brightly. After hearing Zhang Minghui's words, he did not delay and spoke directly.

"Okay! I'll be right in."

He casually handed the things on the frame to Zhang Minghui, two boxes of cakes and two bottles of white wine. After Xu Damao's car came in, Zhang Minghui closed the door and greeted him warmly.

"Brother Damao, just park the car in the yard. Let's go inside and talk. It's quite cold today."

The two chatted and laughed as they came to the main house in the backyard. When they pushed the door open, Cheng Siyu was cleaning the house. When she came out and saw Xu Damao, she said with some surprise.

"Hey, isn't this Brother Damao? I haven't seen you for years. You're still the same, not much has changed. Still so young."

Xu Damao's eyes narrowed with laughter. When he heard Cheng Siyu's words, he quickly waved his hands and said.

"Sister-in-law, please don't laugh at me. I'm almost 50 years old. How can I still be young? Look, half of my hair is white. Time really doesn't spare anyone!"

"You two are the real young ones! You are already in your forties, but you still look like you are in your thirties. I can't compare with you, I can't compare."

After the three of them exchanged a few pleasantries, Cheng Siyu spoke with a smile.

"Brother Damao, please sit down first. I'll go prepare some snacks. You and our Lao Zhang can have a good drink and chat about the past."

When Xu Damao was about to refuse, Zhang Minghui grabbed him and pushed him onto the chair, saying something dissatisfied.

"Brother Damao, you are being too polite. What's wrong with coming to my place to have a drink? Have you forgotten that we used to have a drink every now and then?"

"I don't know if your alcohol tolerance has improved. You used to drink a lot!"

Hearing Zhang Minghui's words, Xu Damao was a little dazed. So many years have passed, and the young man who drank with him back then has now reached middle age.
