Siheyuan: Survival Guide for Courtyard No. 95

The head of the Propaganda Department was an old comrade who had worked for decades. What kind of music had he not seen? But even such a person was a little confused when he saw these two marches.

"Comrade Wang Gang, you said this was written by a buyer from the steel mill? Are you kidding me?"

Wang Gang suddenly realized that he was so focused on writing the song that he only listened to Li Huaide's one-sided story. He had handled the matter a bit hastily.

After telling the leader about his lunch with Li Huaide, he understood the reason.

"Li Huaide? The son-in-law of the Li family, right? I've heard of him. If he said it, it shouldn't be wrong. We should still trust the comrades who have returned from the army.

It's a pity that this comrade named Zhao Shanhe has such ability and he is staying in the steel mill. Why don't you ask him if he is willing to work in the Propaganda Department? The salary and benefits are easy to negotiate."

Wang Gang was a little at a loss when he came out of the minister's office. It was extremely difficult to poach people from Li Huaide's subordinates. When he was in the army, this guy valued talents and was especially protective of his own people. Now that he has arrived at the local level, he finally has someone who can bring honor to his team. It would be strange if he let go of this talented person.

However, he still had to carry out his superior's orders. When he went to the steel mill and told the matter the next day, Li Huaide was indeed unhappy.

"Old Wang, why didn't I see that when I was in Dongye, you were still a traitor? We always keep the good stuff, and when have you ever heard of others taking advantage of us?

Don't even think about it. Zhao Shanhe is not only an outstanding employee in our purchasing department, but he will also represent the steel mill in the National Games. If you were in his place, would you let him go?"

Wang Gang knew that there was no way out of this matter when he heard it, but he still spoke without giving up.

"Old Li, calm down, I'm doing this for the other person's good.

Think about it, since this comrade has outstanding performance in both sports and literature and art, isn't it a bit of a waste for him to keep him in your steel rolling mill?

Otherwise, you can call him over and I will ask him in person. If he disagrees with the transfer, then just pretend I never said anything. You should also consider your brother. I am here with the order of the leader."

Although the Propaganda Department and the First Ministry of Machine Building have nothing to do with each other, seeing that his old comrade has said this, Li Huaide has to give him some face.

"Oh, if I had known, I wouldn't have come to you. If things go wrong, I might even have to sacrifice one of my generals.

I can take you to talk to him, but Zhao Shanhe is not in the factory at this time. You know that all buyers have to go to the countryside. You can have a simple meal at my place at noon, and after get off work in the afternoon, I will take you to his place to ask him. "

Wang Gang finally waited until the end of his shift at the steel mill, and followed Li Huaide on a bicycle to the courtyard. However, after asking around, he found out that Zhao Shanhe was tidying up the house and would not stay there at all that night.

Fortunately, he left the address of the Daqianmen Silk Shop to the third uncle, otherwise Li Huaide would have been in trouble as well.

When the two found Zhao Shanhe, he was having dinner with Chen Xueru and Hou Kui. Zhao Shanhe was surprised to see Director Li coming to see him, so he quickly put down his bowl and asked.

"Director Li, how did you find me here? Do you have any mission at the factory?"

"Shanhe, you've made us look for you for a long time. There's nothing wrong at the factory. It's Director Wang from the Propaganda Department's Literature and Art Bureau who wants to see you. Please talk to him."

Wang Gang saw that others were eating, so he didn't waste time and directly told them the purpose of his visit. Zhao Shanhe was surprised to hear that and thought, "Are you trying to harm me?"

I won’t write here about what it was like there when the wind blew, the card god is very good. What was the difference between going there at that time and joining the National Army in 49?

"Director Wang, I'm used to working under Director Li, and I don't want to move for the time being. Thank you for your kindness, but forget about the job transfer.

But I can’t let you make a wasted trip. I just finished writing two marches today. Can you hand them in for me?”

Wang Gang looked a little better after he got the two new marches. After all, a section-level cadre was directly rejected when he tried to poach a small clerk. Didn't he have any face?

After submitting these pieces, Zhao Shanhe could just leave them alone. Copyright? Only some literary works at that time talked about this. Zhao Shanhe wanted fame, not money. He did all these things, including participating in the National Games, just to make himself look good. There were some things that he didn't allow to be written! !

Time passed quickly and it was already August. The newspapers published reports about drought in the Yangtze and Huaihe River basins and several typhoons hitting the southeastern coast, which resulted in 8 million hectares of farmland being almost harvestless. Anyone with a little knowledge knew that this was a prelude to something big.

But these have nothing to do with Zhao Shanhe. He has already joined the Sijiu City delegation and participated in the opening ceremony rehearsal.

This was a formal rehearsal, so a lot of people came. There were thousands of martial arts and dance performers alone, and he also saw delegations sent by other provinces and cities. Many of these people were the best athletes in China at that time. It was a pity that China did not participate in the Asian Games and the Olympics at that time, otherwise they would definitely have left a very good result.

Since Zhao Shanhe did not need to participate in dance and martial arts rehearsals, he only needed to pay attention to the order in which the athletes entered the venue, so he only stayed for two days to complete the rehearsal. Thinking that the house had been cleaned for almost half a month, he also planned to go back and take a look.

When they returned to the courtyard, they saw Lao Huang directing a few men to move furniture, so Zhao Shanhe walked over and asked.

"Master Huang, have you finished cleaning the house? Can we move the furniture in?"

When Old Huang heard the voice, he turned around and saw that it was Zhao Shanhe, and smiled with wrinkles on his face.

"The boss is here. The house has just been cleaned up today. Didn't you tell me that you want it to be completed within half a month? I dare not be careless, right? Come on, let's go in and take a look. If there is anything we are not satisfied with, we can modify it immediately."

Zhao Shanhe followed Lao Huang and looked around the house. Although the other party was a bit greedy, his craftsmanship was truly impeccable.

The windows were replaced with rosewood, and in order to prevent people from noticing, they were painted the same color as the third uncle's house. Zhao Shanhe couldn't tell whether the floor tiles in the house were gold bricks, but the smoothness was as if the floor was paved. The walls, roof, and tiles were all very tidy, and it was obvious that a lot of effort had been put into it.

Zhao Shanhe finally took a closer look at the set of golden nanmu furniture that had just been moved in. The shape was simple yet grand, low-key yet elegant. It was worthy of being handmade furniture. The craftsmanship was amazing.

After looking around and not finding anything wrong, Zhao Shanhe settled Lao Huang's bill. When the other party took the money and left the yard with a smile, the third uncle who had been waiting for a long time immediately came to visit him.

"Shanhe, now that you've finished cleaning up your house, when are you going to move back in? Moving into a new house is a big deal, do you want to set up a few tables in the yard to celebrate?"
