Siheyuan: Since 51

"bet?"

Lin Zhiyuan lit a cigarette and said with a chuckle, "Are we going to see who lights up the cigarette first and takes a puff first?"

The brigade commander laughed, raised his hand and shook the silver cigarette holder.

"Is there any need to compete? I'm already ahead."

As he spoke, he picked up the special water cup, screwed on the lid, drank the water, and then closed it again.

"It's a bet whether I can stabilize the situation or leave in disgrace."

"This is not a good bet."

Lin Zhiyuan shook his head and smacked his lips, "We both want to bet on the former."

The brigade commander raised his eyebrows and scolded with a smile: "I don't care, you can only choose the latter."

Lin Zhiyuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and spread his hands helplessly.

"Okay, I'll play with you. The stakes are Hong Kong Island assets..."

……

It's a meaningless gamble, and I don't know where the brigade commander got the interest from.

lunch.

Lin Zhiyuan accompanied the brigade commander and had a few drinks.

Even if he tried to hide it, Lin Zhiyuan could sense that the brigade commander was under pressure.

……

The next day, the first day of the Lunar New Year.

At daybreak, Lin Shufan opened his eyes, and the first thing he did was to glance sideways at the head of the bed.

Half of the two red envelopes were sticking out of the pillow.

Just reach out and grab it, then open it.

Finally, I looked at the two light blue two-dollar bills and laughed so hard that it took me a long time to get dressed and get up...

living room.

Lin Zhiyuan was woken up early by Qin Huairu and was sitting on the sofa, teasing Xiao Shuhan.

Wu Xia, Qin Huairu and Lin Manyu are preparing breakfast.

People come in and out, talk and laugh, and immerse themselves in the atmosphere of the New Year.

Before long, visitors came one after another.

Even the younger generations came in groups to wish a happy new year.

Qin Huairu responded one by one without favoritism.

Even the Banggeng brothers gave ten cents each.

As for Lin Zhiyuan, he was standing in the yard with a few big guys, smoking and chatting.

Sha Zhu hugged his chest and asked with a grin, "Brother Zhiyuan, when are you leaving?"

After saying that, he muttered, "Has the organization never considered letting Sister Lin go with you?"

Xu Damao raised his eyebrows slightly and reminded him hurriedly.

"Silly Zhu, do you think you can worry about the organization's affairs? Also, it's New Year's Day, don't talk about unhappy things."

Sha Zhu was stunned for a moment, then he chuckled a few times and smacked his lips.

"Blame me. Look at my mouth."

Lin Zhiyuan didn't care and said with a smile: "Well, the organization needs to consider the overall situation, so it's really not appropriate to talk too much."

Then, Youyou sighed, "We can't stay at home for a few days. We have to follow orders."

Hearing this, Yi Mingxin was stunned for a few seconds, but in the end said nothing.

This scene happened to be captured by Lin Zhiyuan, but he didn't take it seriously.

However, as lunchtime approached, everyone dispersed and Yi Mingxin stayed alone.

"Brother Zhiyuan, excuse me for taking up a few minutes of your time. I have something to ask you."

Lin Zhiyuan didn't push him, but asked casually, "Tell me, what's wrong?"

Yi Mingxin sighed, "Brother Zhiyuan, tell me, how can I leave the courtyard and the capital?"

leave?

At this critical juncture, leaving Beijing is not a good option.

It’s hard to say whether you can survive out there!

Could it be that he was kicked out of the house by Yi Zhonghai and was completely disappointed?

But it shouldn’t be.

It's good to be re-allocated a house, have a job, get married, and live a stable life.

Hey, Yi Mingxin is a pretty good person.

In order to make things difficult for Yi Zhonghai, Lao He dragged someone into this, and he didn't know whether it was right or wrong.

……

Lin Zhiyuan pondered for a long time and asked, "Tell me, why do you have this idea?"

Yi Mingxin had a bitter look on his face and spoke in great detail.

“Hey, ever since I came to Siheyuan, I really wanted to take care of my third cousin in his old age.

For a period of time, he also competed with Jia Dongxu and secretly tried to trip him up.

But I just don’t understand, no matter how well I perform, I still feel like an outsider.

For several years, no one arranged a marriage, and I was scolded whenever I mentioned it.

I didn't ask for too much, but in the end the adoption was terminated.

It’s even better now. He and Jia Dongxu are spreading rumors in the workshop and even around me, saying that I’m an ungrateful person…”

After listening to this, Lin Zhiyuan understood Yi Mingxin's psychology a little, but he couldn't figure out what was going on with Yi Zhonghai.

After thinking for a moment, he raised his hand and patted Yi Mingxin on the shoulder.

"How can I leave? I don't really understand. But leaving doesn't necessarily mean everything will be better. Just live your life well and don't think too much."

Yi Mingxin opened his mouth, wanting to say something but stopping himself. "Okay, I'll think about it."

Looking at Yi Mingxin's lonely back, Lin Zhiyuan couldn't help but shook his head and turned back to the living room.

But let’s talk about Hong Kong Island.

No. 69, Repulse Bay.

The first day of the Lunar New Year happened to be Huo Ting's birthday.

The entire Huo family was already decorated with lights and full of joy, and with the arrival of many relatives and friends, it seemed even more lively.

The man was sitting in the living room, the children were making a scene in the yard, and the women were chatting upstairs.

Huo Dong, his brother-in-law Cai Yuanlin, Bao Gang, and Li Ji were chatting and laughing.

Li Ji is the youngest and the most humble person.

He got acquainted with Huo Dong while developing land earlier and was deeply appreciated by Huo Dong.

"Brother Huo, buying a property off the plan is a great feat. I'm not shy about it. I'm also planning to do the same for the residential property under construction in Kwai Chung."

Bao Gang is four and a half years older than Huo Dong and is not arrogant.

"Aji, Brother Huo is a big boss, you look down on him. He is not afraid of people following the trend, but he is afraid of the industry being down."

Huo Dong smiled brightly and waved his hand.

"Brother Bao, you are the boss, okay? Everyone in Hong Kong knows that you are the Dragon King of the Sea."

Li Ji laughed a few times and joked, "You two are both big guys. It's a pity that I'm developing on land. Otherwise, I'd have to trouble Brother Bao no matter what."

Bao Gang raised his eyebrows and smiled: "You, Hong Kong Island has great potential, it's the same everywhere."

As he spoke, he seemed to have thought of something, "Brother Huo, what is the relationship between you and Lingdan Company? I heard that the North is behind it."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Ji and Cai Yuanlin also looked over.

Huo Dong didn't say it directly, he just laughed it off.

"So what if it is, so what if it isn't? You all know the effects of Shenbao. Wait until the new factory is completed and enjoy it."

As he said this, he paved the way for Lin Zhiyuan.

"I heard that Lingdan Company has a new product, and its effect is just as good as Shenbao."

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the three of them flashed.

Bao Gang was even more excited. "Really? My dad has been in much better spirits since he started taking Shenbao. There's even a new product?"

Li Ji was also excited, "Brother Huo, what are the effects of the new product?"

Huo Dong said leisurely: "If you take it for a long time, it will regulate your whole body. Over time, it may prolong your life."

"It prolongs your life!"

Bao Gang murmured something and then made a judgment.

"From this point of view, the person behind the elixir really came from the north. I'm afraid only the palace has this kind of magical medicine!"

"Ring ring ring."

Just as Huo Dong was about to respond, an urgent phone call suddenly rang.

He apologized slightly, stood up and went to answer the phone.

He picked up the microphone, hummed a few times, and at the end, his face changed slightly, but returned to normal in an instant and said a few words lightly.

"Okay, I get it. Go ahead. Don't interfere unless it's absolutely necessary."

He hung up the phone and returned to the sofa as if nothing had happened.
