Siheyuan: Silly Pillar is Kind

Wang Li turned the paper over and over, looking at it carefully, her eyes full of admiration. All this showed her deepest feelings.

"Why do you look so tired? Have you been very busy at work recently?" Wang Li asked with concern.

"It's okay, just a little busy at noon, but it's fine at other times." Sha Zhu answered casually.

"Don't sit on the ground all the time, it's too cold!" Wang Li kindly reminded.

"It's okay, I'll sit here and rest for a while and then leave. Oh, by the way, you can go and report directly now. There is nothing for you to worry about here, and the file will be sent over later." Sha Zhu continued.

"Are you in such a hurry? I haven't had the time to say goodbye to them yet!" Wang Li said in surprise.

"Let's go there first. After all, we don't know the specific situation there. If we encounter any problems, we can find someone to help solve them. In addition, this job may be quite expensive, so you have to give me some money when the time comes." Sha Zhu added.

"I don't have any money." Wang Li said and turned away, no longer looking at Sha Zhu.

Seeing this, Sha Zhu narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at Wang Li closely... Time passed minute by minute, and Wang Li found that He Yuzhu was still staring at her without saying a word, and she couldn't help feeling aggrieved.

So he muttered softly, "Hasn't the money already been given to me? Since you are so capable, why don't you try to take my money again?"

As she spoke, she walked lightly to Sha Zhu's side and gently tugged at his sleeve. Her aggrieved look was so adorable.

"Take out the money first. We can't afford to delay this matter. Can you consider this money as a loan from you? I will definitely return you double when I have the money, okay?" Sha Zhu's tone gradually softened.

At this moment, Wang Li had never expected that the trick Song Jia taught her would be so effective, but what should she do next?

She tried to recall what Song Jia had told her: "Wang Li, I'm telling you, men are all cheap guys. You must never talk back to them. You must learn to be soft first, so that they won't dare to be tough anymore. Then, you can act like a spoiled child and be more intimate with him. Then he will definitely listen to you in everything."

So, Wang Li decided to do what Song Jia said. She continued to say coquettishly: "Zhu Zi, you can't go back on your word and lie to me! If you really lie to me, I will never talk to you again in this life!" While saying this, she twisted her body, showing her little woman's attitude.

However, Wang Li didn't know how much her coquettish and cute appearance made men fall in love with her. Sha Zhu was stunned and froze on the spot. !

"You said you would pay me back double, but you have to tell me a deadline." Sha Zhu scratched his head, thought for a while and said, "Then six months!" He casually said the number without thinking it over.

"It's been too long, Zhuzi. How about this, three months, do you think it's okay?"

As she spoke, she gently shook Shazhu's arm and pleaded in a coquettish manner.

At this moment, their arms accidentally brushed against each other's sensitive parts of the body. Sha Zhu suddenly felt like he was electrocuted and became energetic.

Wang Li also keenly sensed the change in the atmosphere, her face suddenly turned red, and she hurriedly let go of Sha Zhu's hand. However, Sha Zhu's reaction was faster than hers, he quickly reached out and hugged Wang Li tightly, and then kissed her lips without saying anything...

Cough cough... A sudden cough broke the ambiguous atmosphere.

Wang Li used all her strength to break free from Sha Zhu's embrace and hurriedly tidied up her messy clothes.

Sha Zhu looked in the direction where the coughing sound came from with an unhappy look on his face, secretly cursing in his heart who was the guy who ruined his good thing.

The two looked closely and saw a figure walking towards them. It turned out to be Song Jia.

She glared at He Yuzhu fiercely, then put her arm around Wang Li's shoulders and said to her unhappily, "The director is looking for you. Come back with me quickly!"

After saying that, he pulled Wang Li and left, leaving Sha Zhu standing there alone, helplessly watching their receding backs.

Sha Zhu was left alone there, as if the whole world had forgotten him.

He was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses. He felt a sense of loss, but then an inexplicable anger surged up in his heart.

He gritted his teeth, got on his bike without saying a word, and drove out of the steel mill without looking back.

Along the way, Sha Zhu's mood became increasingly heavy. He really couldn't understand why Liu Mei suddenly summoned him.

Could it be because of what happened last time? But that happened a long time ago... Full of doubts, Sha Zhu finally arrived at the gate of the street office.

He stopped his bike, took a deep breath, and walked towards the gate.

"Oh, it's Shazhu!" The security guard recognized him at a glance and greeted him with a smile. Obviously, the old man still had some impression of He Yuzhu. Shazhu nodded politely and greeted: "Hello, uncle!"

The security guard waved his hand and motioned him to come in. After thanking him, Sha Zhu knocked gently on the office door.

At this moment, Liu Mei was sitting in the room talking about work matters with a subordinate.

When she heard the knock on the door, she looked up and saw that it was He Yuzhu. She immediately showed joy on her face. She quickly interrupted her conversation with her subordinates, stood up and walked quickly to the door, opened the door, and warmly welcomed He Yuzhu in.

"Oh, Zhuzi, you're here at last! You haven't come to my place for a long time since the last incident! What's the matter? Do you think my place is a dangerous place and you don't dare to come over and get close to me?" Liu Mei said half-jokingly.

"Look at what you said, Sister Liu. How can that be possible? I'm just afraid of delaying your work!" Sha Zhu explained with a smile.

"Hey, you have such a sweet mouth! You did a great deed last time, and I've always remembered it! I was thinking of treating you to dumplings when you were free! But you didn't come, so I had to send someone to invite you!" Liu Mei patted Sha Zhu's shoulder affectionately, her eyes full of admiration.

After hearing this, Sha Zhu became even more confused. He really couldn't figure out what Liu Mei was up to, but seeing her warm attitude, it seemed like she had no ill intentions.

So, he decided to wait and see what happens, and just deal with it carefully. At worst, he could just counter the opponent's moves. Thinking of this, Sha Zhu smiled slightly and said nothing more.

Liu Mei looked at He Yuzhu without responding, and she knew in her heart that her previous actions were indeed inappropriate. After all, no one would like this kind of last-minute cramming behavior.

"Zhu Zi, today your brother-in-law actually wants to ask you for a favor. I'll call him over and have him talk to you directly. Please wait for a moment!"

"Okay, Sister Liu, I'll wait here."

Not long after, Liu Mei came in with her husband. As soon as he entered the door, Yin Shouzhe shook He Yuzhu's hand enthusiastically and made a brief self-introduction.

Then, Liu Mei stood up, walked out of the office silently, and closed the door.

"Comrade He Yuzhu, I asked you to come here today because I personally wanted to get your help. Of course, there are some things that require your assistance in investigating, but you must ensure absolute confidentiality and not disclose any information to the outside world. At least before the case is solved, it cannot be publicized to the outside world. Can you do that?"

Hearing this, He Yuzhu frowned, but still replied:

"Director Yin, please give me your instructions. If I can help, I will fully cooperate with the public security department."

However, Yin Shouzhe seemed not very satisfied with He Yuzhu's answer, and he continued to ask:

"This conversation is very important. Regardless of whether you agree to help or not, the first thing you must do is to keep it strictly confidential and never leak it. If you can't even guarantee this, then we may need to reconsider the candidate."

He Yuzhu spread his hands helplessly and said with a wry smile:

"I'm really sorry, Director Yin. I have a bad habit of talking in my sleep, and sometimes I even take things in my dreams seriously. So, I'm worried that I may not be able to completely guarantee that I won't leak any secrets. Why don't you find someone else to avoid causing you trouble?"

Yin Shouzhe was speechless for a moment, thinking that it was too obvious that this person didn't want to help. Didn't he even want to listen?

He really didn't know how to communicate with the other party next, so the two of them could only drink a few sips of water in silence to calm down. Seeing this, Sha Zhu immediately stood up and prepared to say goodbye and leave.

"Comrade He Yuzhu, please wait a moment. I have something to do outside and will be back soon. Please wait a moment." After Director Yin finished speaking, he walked out of the room to find his wife. After all, his wife is more experienced in handling such matters.

"What happened? Are the negotiations going smoothly?" Liu Mei asked anxiously after seeing Director Yin.

Director Yin replied helplessly, "Oh, forget it. I haven't even said a word yet, but he's already rejected me. I've thought about it carefully and think he's the most suitable candidate, but he's really stubborn! Wife, how about you help me persuade him?"

"How can I persuade them? I don't even know the specific situation!" Liu Mei was also very confused. Yin Shouzhe thought for a moment and responded:

"Well...how about this, why don't you come in and talk about it and see if you can convince He Yuzhu to accept this request, but remember to pay attention to the confidentiality regulations."

Liu Mei glared at her husband fiercely and muttered to herself: This idiot is so tongue-tied, no wonder he is still a small director after all these years.

If not for the fact that all the merits he made in arresting spies some time ago were credited to him, he would probably not even be able to keep his position as director and would have to be demoted to work in a nearby town!

Despite this, he was her husband after all, so Liu Mei still felt sorry for him and walked into the house.
