Siheyuan, my new life

At this time, in an office of the Dongcheng District Government, the somewhat obese Deputy District Mayor Liu Jianye was sitting behind his desk with a complicated expression. He didn't even notice that the cigarette in his hand was about to burn his fingers.

More than half an hour ago, Liu Jianye received a call from Deputy Director Zhao of the Jiaodaokou Street Office, saying that Zhou Xiu had obtained 4,000 kilograms of rice and flour, 2,000 kilograms of pork and beef, and 200 kilograms each of imported milk powder, chocolate, and sugar. He was overjoyed. He had looked for many things with his connections, but had not been able to get much. The Chinese New Year was approaching, and if the Spring Festival benefits this year were too meager, not only would the ordinary staff of the district government have complaints about him as the deputy district chief in charge of logistics, but even the leading cadres would have opinions about him.

Now that he knew that Jiaodaokou Sub-district Office had obtained so many scarce materials, this could be regarded as a solution to his urgent needs. Therefore, Liu Jianye directly called Zhou Xiu, the secretary of Jiaodaokou Sub-district Office. In his subconscious, he was the leader of the district government, and the things were distributed to the leading cadres in the district. As long as Zhou Xiu had a normal mind, he would not offend so many leading cadres. As for those ordinary clerks in the sub-district offices below, it would be good enough to give them some.

But ideals are full and reality is very skinny. Zhou Xiu from Jiaodaokou Street Office not only rejected his request bluntly, but also asked him to wait and talk to Lin Yu.

It was not until then that Liu Jianye realized how he could have made such a low-level mistake. He only thought about asking for supplies from the Jiaodaokou Subdistrict Office, but he ignored the fact that Zhou Xiu's son was Lin Yu.

Now Liu Jianye wished that time could go back. For the sake of these materials, he actually offended Lin Yu, the deputy secretary and deputy director of the Municipal Bureau and the secretary of the Security Department of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill. At this moment, Liu Jianye couldn't help feeling extremely bitter.

In the secretary's office of the training base of the Security Department of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, Lin Yu gently put down the phone. He would never be polite to anyone who dared to target him and his family.

Just now, Lin Yu called the top leader in Jingcheng City directly. After a brief greeting, he told him frankly that he had entrusted the Jiaodaokou Sub-district Office to distribute some Spring Festival supplies to the families of military martyrs and needy families in the area. However, Liu Jianye, deputy district mayor of Dongcheng District, actually asked for all the money to be used to provide benefits to district leaders. Moreover, the two deputy directors of the Jiaodaokou Sub-district Office were not focused on their work and only wanted to flatter and please their superiors. Such people are not suitable to continue to stay in leadership positions.

Director Wang walked into the conference room and saw that almost all the staff were already seated there. They all looked very happy. It was obvious that Secretary Zhou would announce this year's Spring Festival benefits at this meeting, and everyone was guessing how much they would get this year.

Director Wang took a quick look and did not see Secretary Zhou, so he turned around and left the meeting room, heading towards the secretary's office.

After knocking on the door and entering the secretary's office, Director Wang saw Zhou Xiu sitting behind the desk with a gloomy face. He couldn't help but ask curiously: "Secretary Zhou, what happened?"

Zhou Xiu said angrily, "Liu Jianye called just now and threatened to take away everything we have, leaving us only 200 kilograms of rice, flour, pork and beef, and he kept saying that it was to give benefits to the district leaders."

Director Wang immediately got anxious: "Does Liu Jianye still have any shame? If he has the ability, he can find a way to get the materials himself. Why is he asking for so much? You won't agree to his request, right?"

Zhou Xiu sneered disdainfully: "Liu Jianye dares to say this even though he has such a big face. I will pay attention to this kind of person? I will tell him directly that the things belong to Lin Yu. I will let Lin Yu talk to him."

Director Wang was also relieved after hearing this. After all, if there was nothing, the staff below would understand, after all, the actual situation now was that the supply was tight. But now so many things had obviously been unloaded into the warehouse. Once they were taken away by Liu Jianye of the district government, he and Secretary Zhou would be too passive, and they would probably have difficulty carrying out their future work.

After hearing Zhou Xiu's statement, Director Wang reached for the phone on his desk and said, "I'll tell my wife at home that people like Liu Jianye should be dealt with properly."

Of course Zhou Xiu knew that Director Wang’s husband worked in the city and was a department-level leader, but she had already informed Lin Yu, so it would be better to let Lin Yu, the direct party involved, handle this matter.

So Zhou Xiu directly held Director Wang's hand and said, "Xiao Wang, I have already informed Lin Yu about this matter. It is best to let him come forward. From what I know about that guy, he will not let that guy go easily. Otherwise, our place will become a big piece of fat meat in the future. If we get something again, there will definitely be a group of people around to fight for it."

After hearing this, Director Wang knew that what Secretary Zhou said was right. She said angrily, "Who tipped off Liu Jianye? It was probably those two guys. There were always people in the big office, so there was no chance for them to make a phone call."

Zhou Xiu snorted softly: "I originally planned to apply to the district government after the Spring Festival to transfer these two guys. Now they have ignored the collective interests and only want to flatter and please their superiors. I have already mentioned these two guys to Lin Yu."

Director Wang was also furious. "These two guys are traitors. They always look like they are just waiting to die. They don't do their job and just keep hindering us. It would be best if we could get them out of here."

Zhou Xiu glanced at his watch and stood up: "Let's go, it's been quite some time, don't keep the comrades waiting."

So the two of them walked out of the secretary's office one after the other.

When Zhou Xiu and Director Wang walked into the conference room, the scene immediately became quiet.

Zhou Xiu sat at the conference table with a gloomy face and said directly: "Today, we have called everyone to a meeting for three main reasons. First, due to the shortage of supply in the second half of this year, I also know that many families have been greatly affected. In order to improve the lives of the elderly and children at home, some people have to go to the pigeon market to buy some daily necessities at high prices. I understand this and know that everyone has no choice. But I want to remind everyone here that it is understandable to go to the pigeon market occasionally to buy some daily necessities, but you must not go to the black market. The current black market not only resells all kinds of food and meat, but is also bold enough to openly sell guns, ammunition and some controlled materials. There are even some enemy agents mixed in."
