Siheyuan: This is really immoral

At this moment, a hurried sound of footsteps came from far away. Then, the door was pushed open, and a figure rushed in. The person who came was the anxious guy. He had just stepped into the room and didn't even have time to breathe. He raised his head impatiently like a hungry tiger pouncing on its food. Those two sharp eyes shot straight at Lin Zhuang who was sitting at the desk, busy processing documents.

At this moment, this person's face was filled with an expression of unbearable pain, just like a bitter gourd that had been tortured. His face, which was originally fair and clean, now looked a little pale and haggard due to overwork. His lips trembled slightly, and he kept muttering, "Section Chief - you have been away for the past few days, and I have been so busy! All the big and small affairs in the logistics department of our steel rolling mill cannot be handled without you! Look, I am so busy that I am almost dizzy, and I feel like I am falling apart!"

As he spoke, he sighed continuously and stretched out his right hand to gently rub his sore and swollen temple. The movement was gentle and slow, as if each massage could slightly relieve the discomfort in his head. However, despite this, from his frown and tired eyes, it was easy to see the huge pressure he was under.

However, facing this remark, Lin Zhuang just smiled slightly and thought to himself: "This guy likes to play tricks on me on weekdays. I'm afraid he wants to take the opportunity to be lazy again this time. Humph, I won't be so stupid as to believe his words!"

Thinking of this, Lin Zhuang put down the pen in his hand, slowly raised his head, and looked at the person in front of him who was complaining with a smile.

His eyes deliberately revealed a bit of clarity and stupidity, and he looked somewhat innocent. However, his heart was far from calm at the moment, and panic surged into his heart like a tide. He stammered and asked:

"What...what? Is it so tiring? Oh my, this is really my fault! I'm so sorry! I must be extra careful in the future. After all, I have to fulfill my responsibilities when I'm in this position... From now on, I will stay in our steel mill more often. Unless I have to go out for purchasing, I will spend the rest of my time here handling various matters peacefully."

As soon as Lin Zhuang finished speaking, everyone's eyes turned to the deputy section chief sitting opposite him.

Surprisingly, the deputy section chief's mouth twitched violently and uncontrollably, as if being pulled by an invisible force. He felt extremely regretful and thought to himself:

"Why am I so rude? Why am I complaining for no reason? Now I've gotten myself into big trouble! I really want to slap myself hard a few times to vent my anger!"

Looking at the other person's young and energetic face, he originally thought in his heart that these words should be able to arouse the other person's deep compassion, and thus smoothly establish a good relationship with the other party.

After all, young people are usually kind-hearted and soft-hearted. However, he never expected that the young man in front of him would behave so dull, as if he knew nothing about the polite rules in the officialdom.

I couldn't help but wonder, is this kid really stupid and ignorant, or is he pretending to be stupid? No matter how innocent he is, he should at least say a few polite words to respond.

At this moment, Lin Zhuang calmly took in the subtle changes in the other person's expression, but did not dwell on it too much. He just smiled and said softly:

"But when I think about it carefully, it seems that this won't work. If I sit here doing nothing every day, then the matter of purchasing unplanned materials for the logistics department of our steel rolling mill will become difficult!" As he spoke, Lin Zhuang frowned slightly, revealing a worried look.

When he saw Lin Zhuang's sad face, a light flashed across the deputy section chief's eyes. Then, as if he had suddenly realized something, he quickly agreed:

"Yes, yes, yes, why didn't I think of this before? After all, you are wise and far-sighted! In comparison, I am really ashamed of myself. It seems that my ideological awareness needs to be improved." After saying these flattering words, the deputy section chief was afraid that Lin Zhuang would continue to hold on to the previous topic, so he quickly changed the subject and said anxiously:

"Chief, please take a look at this document. This is the most important document for our Logistics Department in recent times! I left it here on purpose, waiting for you to personally review it and make a decision!"

Lin Zhuang slowly stretched out his right hand and steadily took the document on the desk. He gently held it in front of his eyes, then carefully opened the first page and began to read it word by word.

However, in fact, only Lin Zhuang himself knew that although this document was indeed of certain importance, it was far from reaching the point where he had to rush back in person to deal with it. It was obvious that the reason why the deputy section chief called him back to the office so eagerly was nothing more than to find a suitable way out for himself.

This situation is not the first time that Linzhuang has encountered such a situation. Tricks like this are just some of the means that this group of people usually use. They always like to be prepared for both situations. First, they wave the so-called "big stick" in their hands to scare people so that they have to obey their arrangements; then they throw out a "sweet date" at the right time and give some benefits as a comfort so that others are willing to do things according to their expectations.

Lin Zhuang looked at the document and said slowly: "Well, this document is indeed crucial. But I just came back, and I don't understand some of the situations. Please tell me your thoughts first."

When the deputy section chief heard this, he was suddenly a little flustered and hesitant for a long time but couldn't explain it clearly.

Lin Zhuang laughed in his heart but did not show it on his face. He continued to press the issue, "Since you left the document for me, you must have your own opinion. You might as well just say it." The deputy section chief gritted his teeth and said something nonsense.

After hearing this, Lin Zhuang shook his head and said, "Your idea is full of loopholes." The deputy section chief's face turned red.

Just when the atmosphere was getting a little awkward, someone outside the door shouted, "Section Chief, the factory director wants you to come over. He said there's something urgent to discuss." Lin Zhuang stood up, glanced at the deputy section chief, and said, "Let's put this matter aside for now and discuss it later." After that, he straightened his clothes and strode towards the factory director's office, leaving the deputy section chief standing there and breathing a sigh of relief.

In a flash, everyone's eyes were drawn to the place. It turned out that Lin Zhuang was walking slowly towards them. There was a faint smile on his face, as warm and gentle as the spring sun, making people feel close to him. His footsteps were as light and agile as the wind, and each step was just right, making him look light and agile, yet steady and elegant.

His steps seemed to have a unique rhythm, like a beautiful melody flowing in the air. As he walked, the air around him seemed to become cheerful, forming an invisible aura that made people look at him. People's eyes unconsciously followed his figure, as if being pulled by a mysterious force.

In a short while, he arrived at his destination accurately like an agile cheetah.

Then, he slowly bent down, his movements were so gentle as if he was afraid of disturbing something, and carefully sat down on the chair that belonged to him. After sitting firmly, he first closed his eyes slightly, took a deep breath, and let the fresh air fill his entire chest.

Then, he slowly exhaled, and at the same time, he expelled all the distracting thoughts in his mind. He repeated this several times until he felt that he had completely adjusted his state. Then he opened his eyes and looked at the thick stack of documents on the table in front of him with a sharp gaze.

These documents are not just a pile of ordinary papers. Every page and every line carries a heavy responsibility and significance. It is no exaggeration to say that they are related to all aspects of the vital matters of the Logistics Department of the Steel Rolling Mill in recent times.

After reading it carefully, I found that it not only records in detail the specific procurement situation of materials in each department, including quantity, quality, price, supplier and many other details; it also covers key information such as a series of business changes that occurred in each department, such as personnel deployment, work process optimization, equipment upgrades, etc.

To be fair, if we follow the normal work flow and division of responsibilities, it would be completely reasonable and there would be no problems even if these documents were directly signed and processed by those powerful deputy section chiefs.

After all, they also have the corresponding power and ability to deal with such matters. However, it is strange that these documents, which should have been handled by the deputy section chief, have now been specially sent to Linzhuang. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the intention behind this is simply obvious - it is nothing more than wanting to take this opportunity to express goodwill and closeness to Linzhuang.

So what is the deep meaning of this so-called "show of goodwill"? Simply put, it is to convey such a clear message: although the factory has indeed assigned Lin Zhuang to be fully responsible for and coordinate the work of handing over that batch of materials, even so, these deputy section chiefs still have a deep respect and respect for Lin Zhuang, the senior leader.

If you don't believe me, think about it carefully. For such a crucial matter, it is up to you to review and make the final decision. Therefore, I implore you not to be too wary and hostile to us. You should know that we have been continuously conveying and showing you the most sincere and warm friendship from the beginning to the end.

And please be assured that we will never become the kind of shameless people who do not know their limits, wantonly exceed the limits of their own authority, and attempt to usurp the legitimate authority of others. To be honest, all we want is to be able to do our job honestly and down-to-earth and stick to the scope of our duties. Apart from that, we really don't have any unreasonable thoughts!

Lin Zhuang sat at his desk, his eyes quickly scanning through the documents, his pen falling from time to time like flowing water, signing his own strong name, or annotating a few words in a flamboyant manner. As time passed, his movements became more and more skillful and rapid, as if the information in the documents had already been imprinted in his mind.

Before long, the pile of documents had been processed. Lin Zhuang breathed a sigh of relief, put down his pen, and began to sort the documents in an orderly manner according to category and importance. When everything was ready, he slowly stood up, stretched his hands upwards, stretched his body to his heart's content, and let out a sigh of satisfaction.

After a short rest, Lin Zhuang started walking towards the small and unique courtyard where Qin Huairu lived. Along the way, his thoughts drifted to Qin Huairu. Recalling the past two days, because she had to go to the countryside with her sister to visit her parents, the two had not seen each other for several days. Although he was busy with work these days, his concern for Qin Huairu and her sister had never diminished. At this moment, thinking of meeting them again, Lin Zhuang's mouth corners could not help but rise slightly, revealing a gentle smile.

See you later, see you later.

Arriving at the gate of the courtyard, she knocked gently. After a while, the door opened, and Qin Huairu saw that it was Lin Zhuang, and her eyes flashed with surprise.

"Lin Zhuang? Oh, come in quickly, quickly!" With this enthusiastic and urgent call, Lin Zhuang walked briskly into the quiet and elegant courtyard.

As soon as he stepped into the courtyard, his eyes were attracted by the scene in front of him. He saw two graceful women standing there, as beautiful as two blooming flowers. Their skin was as white as snow, their eyebrows and eyes were as beautiful as paintings, and their slightly raised mouth corners were filled with a faint smile, as if the gentlest spring breeze was gently blowing through their hearts.

Lin Zhuang felt as if his heart had been hit hard by a naughty little deer, and his rhythm was instantly disrupted. He tried hard to calm the waves in his heart, but the strong impulse was like a tide, hitting his rational defense line wave after wave.
