Siheyuan: With the system in hand, the world is mine

"Mr. Lin, look what I brought you. It's a fifty-year-old girl's red wine. I'm very kind, right? Let's have a good drink together today." Before Mr. Lin finished his words, a rough voice came from outside the door again.

"Old Xiao, you probably came here because of the smell!" Old Master Lin looked meaningfully at Old Master Xiao who had just walked in from the door and said.

"What do you mean? I came to drink with you, and you swear..." The young old man was stunned when he heard this, and said with an unhappy look on his face. He was only halfway through his words. Looking at Wang Haoran sitting next to Mr. Lin, and then looking at Mr. Lin's meaningful smile, Mr. Xiao suddenly realized something.

Then, Mr. Xiao walked quickly to Wang Haoran with a smile on his face and said kindly, "You must be Xiao Wang! I've heard from Old Man Lin that he has a grandson with outstanding abilities. Today I see that he is indeed a handsome man."

"Little bastard?" Wang Haoran was speechless when he heard what Mr. Xiao said. He thought, why do you curse people as soon as you meet? I didn't offend you, but after listening to what Mr. Xiao said, Wang Haoran felt that he must have misunderstood and heard it wrong.

When Mr. Lin heard what Mr. Xiao said, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he thought, "Damn, when did I say this? This guy is so shameless for the sake of supplies." But Mr. Lin just said this in his heart. After all, he is in his forties, and it is impossible for him to lose face in front of the younger generation. Looking at the white-haired and energetic man in front of him, although the old man has a kind face, he exudes a strong aura that makes Wang Haoran breathless.

Wang Haoran quickly stood up, saluted to Mr. Xiao with an upright posture, and said, "Hello, Chief!"

"Why call me Chief? Your Grandpa Lin and I are friends who have known each other for life. Just call him Grandpa." Old Master Xiao waved his hand and smiled gently.

When Wang Haoran heard this, a look of surprise appeared on his face and he looked at Grandpa Lin.

"Okay, don't be shy. He and I have a life-long friendship. You won't lose anything if you call him grandpa." Seeing that Wang Haoran was a little embarrassed, Mr. Lin comforted him. Then he added: "Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you that your grandpa Xiao is the commander of a certain war zone. Maybe you will have to rely on him for help in the future!"

When Wang Haoran heard the words "war zone commander", he instantly became respectful and immediately shouted loudly: "Grandpa Xiao..."

After hearing what Mr. Lin said, Mr. Xiao felt so painful in his heart. He smiled bitterly and muttered to himself: I am so unlucky. I wanted to take advantage of Mr. Lin, but it was so difficult! But when he heard Wang Haoran affectionately call him grandpa, even if he was unhappy, he could only bear it. After all, he needed help.

So he responded with a smile: "Haha, okay... okay... kid, if you encounter any trouble in the future, just come to me. Of course, the premise is that you can't do bad things, otherwise I will not show mercy and will send you to jail personally." After saying that, he stared at Wang Haoran with an extremely serious look.

Wang Haoran was so happy to hear this! A grandfather who was a theater commander meant that he would have more backers and support in the future. In this turbulent period, the army was undoubtedly the safest haven.

At worst, I can wait until the situation stabilizes and then restart my business. Thinking of this, Wang Haoran couldn't help but be overjoyed, and promised Mr. Xiao: "Don't worry! Grandpa Xiao, I won't mess around."

At this time, after hearing this, Mr. Lin's mouth corners slightly raised, and a hint of disdain appeared on his face.

He glanced at Mr. Xiao, and a hint of teasing flashed in his eyes. It seemed to say, "Little guy, you want to get a grandson without any effort, and you want to take advantage of it. There is no such good thing in the world."

Mr. Xiao felt Mr. Lin's gaze and his heart tightened for a moment, but he soon regained his composure. He glared at Mr. Lin fiercely, thinking to himself, "Damn it, how dare you stare at me like this? If it weren't for the fact that today is a festive day, I really want to go up and give him two punches."

However, Mr. Lin completely ignored Mr. Xiao's anger and turned his attention to Wang Haoran. He pouted at Mr. Xiao and said to Wang Haoran, "Haven't you been asking who helped you get promoted? Haha, this person is right in front of you now."

Wang Haoran's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. He smiled bitterly and said, "Grandpa Xiao, thank you very much for your help, but I have not been in the steel mill for long. If I am promoted to section chief so quickly, it may cause some unnecessary trouble and controversy. So, I suggest you withdraw this order."

Mr. Xiao looked at Wang Haoran's sincere expression, and the anger in his heart instantly dissipated without a trace. He realized that the young man in front of him was not the kind of person who would do anything to cling to the powerful. On the contrary, he had his own principles and bottom line, and would rather give up the opportunity for promotion than avoid the possible negative impact. This quality made Mr. Xiao look at him with new eyes.

Mr. Xiao knew that as a person in a high position, every word he said would trigger an endless chain reaction and could even become a tool for others to use. If someone used his name with ulterior motives, the consequences would be disastrous. Therefore, he always remained vigilant against those who tried to use him.

However, facing Wang Haoran's refusal to be promoted, Mr. Xiao completely dispelled his doubts. He believed that such a conscientious and responsible young man would never use his name to do anything that would harm society.

After all, people nowadays are eager to be promoted quickly, but Wang Haoran is just the opposite, afraid of being noticed by being promoted too quickly. This makes Mr. Xiao more impressed with him and full of trust in him.

If Wang Haoran knew what Mr. Xiao was thinking, he would definitely cry out that he was wronged! How could he not want to be promoted? He was just worried that if he was too ostentatious, he would end up in a miserable situation.

After all, with his current engineering skills and the various drawings in the space, if he wanted to get promoted, it would be easy to become a factory manager. But he just wanted to make money in a low-key manner and build his own business empire in the future.

Looking at Wang Haoran with a bitter face, Mr. Xiao secretly rejoiced in his heart, thinking that it was impossible to withdraw the order. After all, it was not easy to make this kid owe him a favor.

He smiled and said, "Boy, don't be so modest! As far as I know, your parents are martyrs, and after you joined the steel mill, you helped the factory solve its material problems. You are more than qualified to be the section chief."

Hearing this, Wang Haoran felt that he could still be saved, and hurriedly said: "Grandpa Xiao, I really can't do it, you should withdraw the order."

"No, I can't take back what I said. Isn't that a slap in my face?" The more Mr. Xiao saw that Wang Haoran didn't want to be the section chief, the more he wanted Wang Haoran to be the section chief. Only in this way would he have the nerve to ask for so much for supplies later.
