Siheyuan: Living in the People's Community, with a Heart for the Red Star

"Xiao Qing! You can't say that. We are all descendants of Yan and Huang. What's yours and mine? Staying at Changle Company for a while won't make them lose any money. They can also see the prosperity of foreign countries and become more resistant to money and sex. What's wrong with that?

Great men have said that there is strength in numbers! Only by increasing the population can we occupy more territory. With more territory, we can have everything! The earth is so small, if you don’t fight for it and I don’t fight for it, will it be left to foreigners? "

Lao Yang is an angry young man from later generations, who is seriously poisoned by the Internet. No matter whether the environment allows it or not, I will do it anyway! What I think is right is right. As for war crimes, Lao Yang doesn't care at all! Only when you are alive can you have the right to speak, even if you are accused of crimes against humanity and society, it doesn't matter!

It's no wonder that Zhang Qing was stunned by Lao Yang's trick. He felt that it made sense, but he couldn't tell what was wrong. He smoked a cigarette and fell into thought.

Old Yang did not give him time to think and continued:

"You know I'm very busy now, and it's not easy for me to find time to come here. I may not be able to come here in the next few years. You've also seen that the domestic environment has become unpredictable. You have to have people keep an eye on my industries to prevent them from being robbed! The most important thing is to protect the people, and the things are secondary. At most, I can spend some money to pack them up when I have time. I will definitely come back when the storm is over. At least leave a way out for myself, right?"

Zhang Qing flicked the ash into the ashtray and assured, "Brother Yang, don't worry! Your contribution to the country cannot make you feel disappointed. No matter the upper or middle-level officials, they all admire your deeds! There are really few people who want to touch you and can do so. Besides, you are not coming back, so at most they will confiscate some of your property, which you don't care about. I will let you know if there is anything. The previous smuggling business may be affected and can no longer be carried out! Although there are forces that want to take over, I don't think you will do business with them. It is certain that you will offend some people. I believe you can handle it! Hehe..."

"The families behind those jumping clowns will be crushed in this storm. I have never worried about it. The leaders above did not launch the storm for no reason. They all had a purpose and a direction! After the storm is over, there will definitely be higher and faster development. I am ready to return to China to invest at that time to make up for the gap left after the storm!"

Old Yang said proudly while shaking the tea leaves in the cup.

"I still don't know who you're going to marry. I remember you said you fell in love with a college student. Did you have sex with her?"

"Well, I finally gave up and got together with my childhood friend according to my family's wishes! After marriage, everything was fine and we treated each other with respect. Now we have two children and live with our parents. My mother takes care of the children. We both have jobs, so it's not too hard."

Zhang Qing answered calmly, and it seemed that he still had some understanding of marriage.

"You are in danger! You are already so old, and you still want to have a free love relationship? You already have a child, but you still think about those trivial things all day long! She has given birth to two children for you, but you still don't give her a good face! You don't seem to be happy at all when you tell me, you will have to put on a face when you go back! You have to correct your mindset, the girl is right, be nice to her. When the policy is relaxed, get a passport and send it to me, and make up for your debt."

Old Yang saw too many leading cadres in later generations who were dissatisfied with their marriages and ended up with their wives and children leaving them. He didn't want to see Zhang Qing get himself involved because of marriage problems.

"Brother Yang, don't worry about me. I will control my emotions and won't cause trouble for myself because of this. My wife's family is in a similar financial situation to mine, and I don't have the face to make trouble with them! My wife is very popular with my parents and knows how to be filial to them, that's enough!"

Although Zhang Qing said this, Lao Yang could not hear from his tone that he had gotten out of the emotional vortex. It was hard to persuade him with kind words, damn ghost, Lao Yang had fulfilled his duty, and there was no need to delve into whether the other party would listen in the end.

Then Lao Yang changed the topic to other places. When talking about the international situation, Zhang Qing adjusted his mood and discussed with Lao Yang enthusiastically. After all, the two people stood at different angles and could find new insights from each other's remarks.

Time passed as the two argued, and soon it was past eleven o'clock. Zhang Qing picked up the office phone and called his brother Zhang Ke, telling him about Lao Yang's arrival and inviting him to Donglaishun for shabu-shabu.

After the call, Zhang Qing took Lao Yang and left the Security Bureau, driving to Donglaishun. Before going downstairs, he took out two bottles of special Maotai from the cupboard in the office.

Arriving at Donglaishun, the two parked the car and carried the wine into the lobby. Donglaishun has not changed much since Lao Yang came here. Even the girl at the front desk is still the same girl, but he also saw a few new faces during his visits.

Lao Yang naturally wouldn't just focus on a few waiters, but the number of waiters in the entire restaurant exceeded the number of customers! It seemed that business was not good.

Zhang Qing went to the front desk and asked for a private room. He ordered a hot pot, two catties of mutton, some vegetables and a platter. He paid the bill before taking Lao Yang to the private room. He told the front desk that if anyone was looking for Zhang Qing, they should go to the private room. The waiter quickly wrote it down.

The two of them came to the private room and took two adjacent seats. Zhang Qing opened the Maotai and took the cups on the table and poured two glasses. While waiting for the dishes to be served, the two of them started chatting.

"Did Brother Yang offend the KGB? We recently received news that many of the KGB's elite agents have been transferred to the Nanyang region. The movements are very frequent, and the plot must be big. Recently, three special planes flew to the Nanyang region through our airspace, but we didn't find out where they landed! But you should be careful and be more prepared."

Zhang Qing brought the topic directly to the KGB. The conflict between Chinese and Soviet agents had been going on for a long time, and it was common for them to sabotage each other. Zhang Qing had no pressure at all to tell Lao Yang about this level of news.

"Those defeated enemies are not worth mentioning. Let my brothers have some fun with them. I don't have much time to pay attention to these secret methods now. The KGB will not be able to bear it if I get angry. No matter what tricks they play, they will definitely suffer in away games. If we can't beat them, my brothers should retire early!"

Old Yang was talking to Zhang Qing half-truthfully. It was a waste of talent to let Old Yang really pay attention to an underground organization like the KGB.

"It's still unusual to be the boss, with a large group of people vying for work. I feel like I'm getting a huge advantage even though I work overtime like this! When we retire in our old age, we won't have as much freedom as an ordinary citizen. Isn't that a bit unfair? Hahaha..."

Zhang Qing laughed at himself as he spoke, and finally couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"What are you two talking about? You look so happy. I can hear the second brother laughing from far away!"

At this time, the door of the private room was pushed open, and the chubby Zhang Ke squeezed in. He had a round body, a green cotton jacket, and a sable hat. After entering the private room, he hung the hat and green jacket on the hanger, licked his bulging belly, and walked to the table, giving Lao Yang a big hug.

Zhang Ke said flatteringly, "Brother Yang, I'm glad to see you at last! It's been several years since we last met. You've been doing so well out there, but you've forgotten me, your brother! I've been transferred to the Foreign Trade Department, responsible for the purchase of transportation equipment. I've been to Changle Company several times in the past few years, and bought a large number of cars, tractors, motorcycles and other transportation equipment. I've asked my superiors several times, but I haven't seen you once. Are you hiding from me?"

"What did Brother Zhang say? Why would he hide from you? If he knew you were there, he would definitely ask you to come over to meet him. No matter what, he would have to invite you to his house for a visit. Eating and drinking are a must! Next time Brother Zhang goes there, go directly to Changle Palace to find Steward Tian from the Internal Affairs Department. As long as I'm there, the news will definitely reach my ears!

However, in the next few years, you will probably have fewer opportunities to purchase from Changle Company. The storm is coming! It is not clear how many people will be driven off the ship. "

Old Yang hurriedly tried to calm Zhang Ke down. His saliva was flying and his fat was shaking as he spoke. Old Yang was so afraid that Zhang Ke might have high blood pressure that he would burst into tears!

"Honestly, Brother Zhang, how did you maintain such a good figure? I haven't seen you for a few years, but you can fit twice as many people as you used to! You need to control yourself. If you gain weight, you will suffer from all kinds of diseases. Didn't the doctor give you any good advice?"

Zhang Qing added, "Of course there is no cure! I have consulted many hospitals and imperial doctors, and the diagnosis is the same, that he is sick. He gains weight no matter what he eats, and his blood sugar level drops if he doesn't eat. The doctors have tried many methods, and he has taken a lot of medicine, but it doesn't work! If you hadn't come, Brother Yang, I wouldn't have asked him to come out for dinner, he can't control himself when he sees delicious food!"

"It's all fate! After two years of treatment, I've accepted my fate. I have a wife and a child, so I don't care anymore! Taking medicine is not a big deal, but making me eat coarse food and reduce energy intake is more painful than killing me! Just accept your fate, eat and drink as you should, and my life will be worth it!

Okay, okay, let’s not say these useless and depressing words. I’m so happy to see Brother Yang today, I won’t go home until I’m drunk!”

Zhang Ke poured out his bitter tears, gave up treatment and surrendered to the disease.

"Okay, I'll listen to Brother Zhang today and not leave until I'm drunk!"

Old Yang echoed the words, saying that Zhang Ke had let it go, so why should others not let it go? It couldn't be cured anyway, so why not be happy? It was hard to endure the treatment and wouldn't extend your life, so why bother?

The waiter brought in the base, followed by mutton and various vegetables, and some of the prepared secret sauce. The three of them divided it up, threw the cut mutton into the hot pot, and scooped it out with a simmer, dipped it in the sauce and started eating.

During the dinner, Zhang Ke and Zhang Qing took turns to persuade Lao Yang to drink, and Lao Yang did not refuse and drank all the wine in one gulp. Two bottles of special supply were quickly drunk, which was not a big deal for the three of them. They also ordered a few bottles of Xifeng from Donglaishun, and finally Zhang Ke and Zhang Qing were drunk. In the end, Lao Yang drove the two to the Security Bureau and handed them over to Zhang Qing's secretary to serve them.

In the afternoon, Lao Yang went to meet with Ma Siye, Li Chuanjia, Li Zhenxiao and others again, and made some arrangements before leaving Kyoto.
