Siheyuan: Becoming a cadre after graduating from technical secondary school

It was another Monday. Early in the morning, Lin Zongxuan pushed his newly bought bicycle out of the yard and saw a muscular figure waiting at the entrance of the alley.

After seeing Lin Zongxuan, the figure's eyes lit up and he slowly began to move forward.

He was wearing a white shirt, a small jacket and a pair of glasses, but he didn't look the least bit suave. His whole temperament was like a brown bear that had just awakened from hibernation.

But the visitor still had a very high status in the courtyard, and the neighbors along the way took the initiative to greet him:

"Morning, Uncle Liu."

"Morning, squad leader Liu."

"Engineer Liu, let's go to work."

Even Liu Laoer, who was setting up a breakfast stall at the door, rushed to greet him: "Mr. Liu, give me a bowl of bean juice!"

All they got in return was a reserved wave of the hand or a nod from the visitor.

Seeing that the person was looking for him, Lin Zongxuan had no choice but to put on a smile: "Second uncle, wait for me."

The second uncle hummed "hmm" from his nose and signaled Lin Zongxuan with his eyes to go with him.

It was not until they walked out of the alley that the second uncle suddenly changed his expression and said in a somewhat flattering tone: "Second Secretary Lin, shall we walk together?"

",,,You can just call me Zongxuan, no need to be so polite."

Comrade Kobayashi, who had just watched a face-changing stunt, was speechless.

Although we already know from various performances in the original drama that Second Uncle Liu Haizhong is a power-hungry person, but what are you trying to do by being rude at first and respectful later?

The second uncle, who had received recognition from the only cadre in the hospital, was overjoyed. He kept praising Lin Zongxuan along the way, saying things like "young and promising", "bright future" and "lofty ambitions".

Lin Zongxuan remained calm and accepted all the compliments without responding to his words.

It was not until the two of them were almost at the entrance of the steel mill that the second uncle became anxious.

"Ahem, Zongxuan, I want to ask you something."

Lin Zongxuan pretended to be puzzled and asked, "It's almost time to lay eggs. If you have something to say, why don't you wait until we get back to the hospital tonight?"

"Ahem, this matter cannot be delayed."

Seeing that there was no one around, Liu Haizhong asked hesitantly, "I heard that the Purchasing Department is going to recruit a group of new temporary workers?"

"You are quite well-informed."

Lin Zongxuan was a little surprised, as he had only received the notice in the last two days.

"Why, do you want Brother Guangqi to try it?"

"How can that be done?!"

"Brother Guangqi is a high school graduate after all. He wants to be a cadre with you. How can he be a temporary worker?"

When the second uncle heard the name of his proudest eldest son, he immediately shook his head like a rattle. After a long while, he said with some disdain: "I am talking about my second son Guangtian. He eats idle meals at home every day. It is better to let him make some contributions to the factory as soon as possible."

"That's a good thing. I think Brother Guangtian is in good shape, so let him try, but..."

Lin Zongxuan pretended to be a little confused and asked, "Why don't you just take Brother Guangtian to the Personnel Department to register? Why are you looking for me?"

Seeing Lin Chaosheng's attitude, Liu Haizhong also started to groan: "I, I was thinking of asking you to go and tell Chief Li of the Purchasing Department and say hello first."

"Logically speaking, it's just a matter of saying a word. We are old neighbors, so we should help each other."

Lin Zongxuan rubbed his fingers in a somewhat awkward manner and said, "But I just started working, and my words are not taken seriously. I have to make some arrangements when I go to their house to talk about things. You know the rules, right?"

Liu Haizhong frowned. Of course he knew the rules. A temporary worker position in the steel rolling mill was priced at 300 to 500 yuan on the black market. In a place with plenty of money like the purchasing department, 500 yuan would not be too much.

But when he came to Lin Zongxuan, he originally wanted to get it for free or pay less, and he was unwilling to spend a lot of money.

However, he also had a headache when he thought of his second son who did nothing all day long. After all, they were his biological son.

"Then, I'll give you 300 first?"

"This is too little. It won't even pass the personnel department."

Lin Zongxuan pretended to think for a while, made a gesture, and whispered: "At least this number."

"600!"

The second uncle covered his mouth in shock and exclaimed in a low voice: "So expensive?"

"My second uncle, you don't know what kind of abilities and education Brother Guangtian has. That's it, I'm still underestimating it." Lin Zongxuan said helplessly, indicating that he had no other choice.

Liu Haizhong hesitated for a moment, and finally shook his head: "No, it's too expensive. It's almost enough to buy a regular workstation in the workshop."

Lin Zongxuan waved his hand helplessly: "Then why don't you go ask someone else?"

After saying that, he got on his bike and left first.

Lin Zongxuan didn't want to help Liu Haizhong in the first place, so he reported a number that he absolutely could not accept. After all, the neighbors in the yard were all people who would do anything to climb up the ladder. Once people knew about it, he would no longer have a peaceful life.

What he didn't know was that something that was a favor to help and his duty not to help actually became a weapon for others to attack him.
