Siheyuan: Since 51

Lingjing Hutong and Fuyou Street, northwest of the T-junction.

A courtyard with three entrances and a special economic bureau, which is directly under the leadership of Mr.

Lin Zhiyuan was transferred to the position of Director of the Special Economic Bureau, a full-time official, and was appointed as Mr. Li's secretary and a candidate for the five-member economic team.

It can be said that special matters are handled specially and special treatment is given. The position is small but the power is great.

It is no exaggeration to say that you are not far from home and you can touch the sky with your hands.

August 7th, Sunday.

Lin Zhiyuan packed up early in the morning, had breakfast, left home and headed east.

After registering, I came to the gentleman’s residence.

living room.

As soon as she entered the room, Mrs. Zhou asked with a gentle smile, "Zhiyuan, have you had breakfast?"

Lin Zhiyuan was respectful and smiled.

"Aunt, I've eaten. My wife steamed some big meat buns. They were delicious. I wanted to bring some for you and uncle so that you two can have a taste..."

Then he spread his hands and said, "You know, the red wall is a bit high."

Mrs. Zhou smiled and said, "Oh, is it really that fragrant? I'll have to go visit you some other day."

As we were talking, the gentleman came out of the study.

"What are you talking about? It's so lively?"

Mrs. Zhou replied softly, "She said I wanted to visit Zhiyuan's family."

The husband smiled and said, "That's great, it's not far away, Xiaoying, you can go there and relax when you have time."

Lin Zhiyuan said with a smile: "Auntie wants to wait for you to have time and go together."

Mrs. Zhou raised the corners of her lips slightly but said nothing.

The husband waved his hand and said, "I have too much work to do and can't leave. The last time we met a few years ago, I stayed up all night and only managed to spare a few hours..."

Looking at the gentleman's thin figure, Lin Zhiyuan felt something in his heart, and began to persuade him with a hint of meaning.

"I told you so. So many of you only care about work and don't care about your health at all. You must be the culprit!"

The gentleman could not help but raise his eyebrows, "Don't you care about your health? How can the comrades below do this? Health is the capital of revolution..."

As he said this, he suddenly realized, "You, this is because the comrades have a high level of awareness, how can it be my problem?"

"Why not? Everyone wants to learn from the teacher and work 24 hours a day."

"Nonsense, I don't have any..."

The gentleman denied it, then shook his head slightly and cursed with a smile.

"Okay, I'll rest more from now on, okay? Zhiyuan, you're a secretary at work, why are you acting like your aunt?"

"Hey, you have to be reasonable. Caring about your health is the first priority of your work."

Lin Zhiyuan winked and continued, "You must put your knowledge and actions into practice. My aunt and I care not only about you, but also about the whole family."

The two gentlemen, with smiles on their faces, wanted to hear how he could justify himself.

Lin Zhiyuan pretended to be fierce and smacked his lips.

"If you take good care of your health and live to be at least a hundred years old, you can work for decades longer. When the time comes, the revived land will need you to walk around and take a look."

"Hahaha!"

The gentleman laughed heartily, "He's still over a hundred years old, so I'll work hard and try to work for a few more years."

Then he nodded and said, "This is my first advice to my new secretary, so I have to give you some respect. I will take a day off today."

Lin Zhiyuan took advantage of the situation and followed immediately.

"Auntie, you heard me. Please supervise me. Some people are not self-aware."

The gentleman laughed heartily, "Hahaha, I can't afford to offend this supervisor. I can definitely do it."

Mrs. Zhou nodded and smiled: "Okay, leave it to me. If he works overtime, we will punish him..."

The gentleman raised his hand to stop us, "Wait a minute, Xiaoying, Zhiyuan, aren't we talking about today? Why are we talking about overtime?"

Lin Zhiyuan didn't care about that and just laughed.

"Auntie, if you work overtime for one hour, you will be punished by taking a day off. You are not allowed to enter the study room or touch any documents. How about that?"

"That's good." Mrs. Zhou said with a smile, and then said, "You guys sit down and chat, I'll go make a pot of tea."

Sit down at the table.

The gentleman forgot the promise he made just now in a blink of an eye.

"Zhiyuan, the Special Economics Bureau was specially established by the old boss. It is a temporary department. You opened up the situation in Hong Kong Island. Do you have the confidence to move to a higher level?"

Lin Zhiyuan couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Sir, I don't know what the Special Economics Bureau is mainly responsible for. I will report to you tomorrow, and then I will report to you..."

As he spoke, he came back to his senses and frowned, "No, sir, isn't it time to rest today?"

The gentleman pretended to be confused and asked gently.

"Take a break. Aren't you just sitting there chatting? You're not looking at documents, nor are you in the study, and you're not in a meeting. What's wrong?"

Lin Zhiyuan was stunned on the spot, and it took him a long time to give direct advice.

"Sir, you really need to take a good rest. For the sake of thousands of comrades, you must take care of your health."

"Okay, Zhiyuan, I understand. Let's talk for five minutes, no, ten minutes."

The gentleman said this in a pleasant and consultative tone, and then added another sentence.

"This is a serious matter. If the Special Economics Bureau doesn't talk to you, I will feel uneasy. I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep at night. It will definitely affect my sleep and then my health."

Lin Zhiyuan was speechless for a moment and let out a long sigh.

I know it’s useless to persuade you. There must be countless people who have tried it before, but what was the result?

"Well, sir, if you order me, I will do my best to complete the task."

"The Special Economic Bureau is mainly centered around Hong Kong Yuanda. Now that the foreign debt has been paid off, the difficulties have passed. How to use the assets handed over by Yuanda will be allocated by you, the economic expert. Whether to reduce or increase the amount handed over, or any instructions to Yuanda, it is up to you to decide..."

The gentleman spoke in great detail. After explaining the responsibilities of the Special Economic Bureau, he analyzed the difficulties faced by various domestic departments and the situation of the entire village.

Before I knew it, more than two hours had passed.

During this time, apart from the tea brought by Mrs. Zhou, Lin Zhiyuan did not want to interrupt and specially found paper and pen to write down the key information.

At the end, the gentleman took a sip of tea and asked, "Is there anything else that is unclear?"

Lin Zhiyuan glanced at the almost colorless tea and sighed, “Sir, there is no more. Don’t worry, I will definitely complete the task.”

After that, he smacked his lips and said, "We agreed to talk for ten minutes, so we have quite a long time to talk."

A hint of pride appeared on the gentleman's handsome and elegant face, and he made a joke.

"Hahaha, you're still talking about me. Look, when you're working, you have no concept of time."

After finishing their business, the two left the living room, walked around, stopped and chatted about family matters.

Lin Zhiyuan used all his life's knowledge to amuse Menzi.

The gentleman laughed constantly.

But unexpectedly, a short-sighted person came running over.

"Sir, you have a meeting at eleven o'clock, and you have half an hour left..."

The gentleman turned around and said, "Okay, I'll go back and prepare right away."

After that, he turned to Lin Zhiyuan and said, "Zhiyuan, I asked you to come here to talk about the Special Economics Bureau. Now that I have finished talking, you can go home and rest for a while, and report tomorrow!"

Lin Zhiyuan was helpless and didn't know what to say. He nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go first."
