The Great Era of Siheyuan

"Xu Damao, you are quite courageous now. You dare to go against Yi Zhonghai. Aren't you afraid that he will make things difficult for you?"

Li Wenqiang followed Xu Damao to his home and teased.

Last time I saw him arguing with Sha Zhu and Yi Zhonghai, and he is here again this time. It seems that he is looking for an opportunity to take revenge.

"Afraid? I didn't dare to touch them before, so I was bullied by them. Now I think clearly that people like this need to be dealt with severely."

Xu Damao sneered.

"Not bad, you are quite brave. If you had figured it out earlier, you wouldn't have been bullied so much. Tell me, what do you want from me today?"

Li Wenqiang was somewhat impressed by Xu Damao. He didn't expect that he had changed so much. This was the right thing to do!

How can a projectionist who carries a gun and hundreds of kilograms of equipment to show movies in the countryside without some strength and courage? To be bullied by Sha Zhu and an old man like this, I can only say that Xu Damao is really kind.

"All those boxes of wine you gave me last time have been sold out. The total amount is 2,072 yuan. Some of them were discounted as gifts. The actual amount is 1,836 yuan. Please count it!"

After Xu Damao finished speaking, he took out a handful of banknotes from his pocket and put them on the table.

I have to say that Xu Damao is really a talented person. In just a few days, he has sold all the wine.

Li Qiang took the money, did some calculations, and gave him two hundred yuan.

"According to the agreement, this is your share. In addition, this fifty dollars is your reward. Work hard, and I will help you get rich in the future!"

Li Wenqiang is never stingy with capable people.

"Reliable! If not, you'd be my strong brother! It's such a pleasure to work with you!"

Xu Damao was immediately moved by Li Wenqiang's sincerity. He gave him a thumbs up, happily took the money and put it in his pocket.

"I'm going to the countryside to show a movie the day after tomorrow morning. Are you still coming?"

After putting the money into his pocket, Xu Damao asked casually.

"Go, of course! Where are we going to the countryside this time?"

Although Li Wenqiang is a bit busy now, he is very curious about the current rural environment and wants to see what the situation is like outside the city.

"Changping Xingshou Commune is about dozens of miles away from here! If you ride a bicycle there in the morning, it will take about five or six hours to arrive in the afternoon. If things don't go smoothly, it will be late in the evening."

After Xu Damao finished speaking, he patted his head and said after he came to his senses.

"Look at my brain, I almost forgot, you have a motorcycle, why should I ride a bicycle! Brother Qiang, why don't you take me with you? I'll ride on the motorcycle with you and see what it feels like! With your car, we will be there in an hour or two. Someone will pick us up at Xingshou Public Society, and provide us with food and accommodation. When the time comes, follow me, and I promise to make sure you have delicious food and drinks!"

Xu Damao was full of confidence, ready to show Li Wenqiang how powerful he was in the countryside, and then he said slyly.

"Remember to bring some food coupons and money. I'll take you out to have some fun. I guarantee you'll have a blast, hehe!"

After Xu Damao finished speaking, he smiled a smile that everyone understood.

"I remember what you said. We'll go together the day after tomorrow. But can you please put away that disgusting look on your face? Am I that kind of person?"

Li Wenqiang rolled his eyes. What kind of person is this? I'm afraid he has gotten into people's eyes and women's groins.

Xingshou Commune in Changping District was not far away. He had no other intention in going to the countryside, he just wanted to go out and see what was happening outside.

"That's true. You are surrounded by beautiful women, and your wife is like a fairy. I guess you don't even look down on the country girls below."

When Xu Damao thought of Li Wenqiang's popularity with women, he suddenly felt that it was unnecessary for him to bring up this topic. Those wild girls in the countryside were not worthy of him.

"Hey, do you think the price of our wine is too high? Many junior leaders want to buy from me, but the price is too high and they can't afford it. Do you think we can sell it at a lower price?"

Seeing Li Wenqiang beside him, Xu Damao talked about the problems he had encountered recently. After all, the starting price of ten yuan was enough to discourage most people.

"What do you mean by cheap? I never intended these things to be bought by poor people. There are so many rich people in this society. A few dozen yuan is nothing. Look at the people watching a play in the theater. They give dozens or even hundreds of yuan for a play. Is it too much for us to sell them for ten yuan? Just ignore those who are asking for a price reduction. I'll leave first if there's nothing else!"

Li Qiang rolled his eyes and prepared to leave.

You can tell from the price he set. It is impossible that he would sell it to the poor, otherwise he would not have set such an outrageous price. He, Li Wenqiang, never cheats the poor.

"Hey, wait! Bring me some more wine later, I still owe several leaders!"

When Xu Damao saw that he was about to leave, he hurriedly stopped him.

"Okay, I'll bring it to you right away."

Li Wenqiang waved without looking back, then pretended to carry ten boxes of wine from outside and put them in Xu Damao's house. He was grinning from ear to ear, because all this was money!

After Xu Damao finished his work, Li Wenqiang sat at home for a while, then immediately prepared the goods and went to the steel rolling mill.

"Brother Wang, please change the place where you get the goods from now on. I have built a new yard, so I won't store things here anymore!"

In the security room of the steel rolling mill, Li Wenqiang greeted Wang Jianjun.

"Why did you suddenly change places? Where are you now?"

Wang Jianjun asked curiously.

"They're renovating that place now. I'll move there when it's finished! The new place isn't far away either. It's just across the street from Fuxue Hutong. I'll take you there later!"

Li Wenqiang said casually.

"That's fine. I was just afraid that if we were too far away, we'd get into trouble if someone saw us. Now that we're so close, we can take care of her."

Wang Jianjun heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that he was so close. Nowadays, factories can argue with you for months over food, and it is not uncommon for them to rob you directly. He was afraid that if he was too far away, he would be discovered, which would be troublesome.

"The day after tomorrow I will go to the countryside with Xu Damao. I will bring some more supplies over these two days. I have prepared everything for you and the steel mill. You can take as much as you need every day. I think it will be enough for you for four or five days. I will be back in three days at most."

Li Wenqiang took this opportunity to talk about his trip to the countryside as a precaution.

When Wang Jianguo heard that he was going to the countryside, he frowned and became a little worried.

"You and Xu Damao are going together, so we should go to Xingshou Commune in Changping District, right? The situation there is not very good. There are many bandits and bullies on the road in the remote countryside. If you can avoid going, I suggest you don't go, to avoid any accidents."

"It's not that exaggerated. We are under the emperor's rule after all. How bad can it be? Don't worry, I will drive over there. If the situation is not right, I will leave immediately. Even bandits and bullies can't catch up with me!"

Li Wenqiang said with a smile.

"If that's not possible, I'll have someone from the Transportation Department take you there. I'll arrange for two security guards to follow you, otherwise I'll be worried."

Wang Jianjun is now very worried that something might happen to Li Wenqiang. The livelihoods of thousands of people here depend on Li Wenqiang. If something happens, he won't even be able to cry.

"No, it's not as bad as you think. I'll just stay there for a few days, just don't worry!"

Li Wenqiang rejected him again. If they really encountered bandits, it would be hard to tell who would be unlucky.

"Okay, then I'll give you a pistol for self-defense, and you can return it to me when you come back!"

Wang Jianjun said this as he took out a Type 54 pistol from the drawer.

"Forget it, let's go and finish today's task first!"

Li Wenqiang directly rejected his kindness and walked out.

Looking at Li Wenqiang, Wang Jianjun sighed helplessly, thinking that since they were so close, nothing big should go wrong, and he felt a little relieved.
