Siheyuan: Starting to work in the street office

When Song Lili saw Director Li's expression, she realized that he was not so easy to fool.

"Aunt Li, this is what happened. As you know, there have been a lot of rumors recently, and Zhong Shan was also thinking about how to get out of this situation, so he found Director Li. The two of them put on this show so that they could get out of this situation completely."

Song Lili then recounted in detail what Zhong Shan and Director Li had said.

Director Li listened and then spoke.

"You guys, why didn't you tell me about such a big thing in advance? But it is indeed necessary to do this. It's good that Zhongshan can make this decision. If you don't make a decision, you will suffer the consequences. This can barely be considered a good move. It can completely make a break with the past. Okay, let them stay there tonight, and I will go to the steel mill to pick them up tomorrow morning."

Director Li also didn't plan to pick the person up today. Since it was her brother who took him away and they had discussed it together, she was not in a hurry.

Early the next morning, Director Li took Song Lili to the steel rolling mill.

Li Huaide was speechless when he saw his sister coming. He thought Zhong Shan would ask someone to rescue him, but he didn't expect it to be his sister.

You can use this for our whole family, but I have to say that this person is really suitable. There is no one more suitable than her.

You use the smallest favor to accomplish the biggest thing. You are really calculating. I think your surname should not be Zhong, but Yan!

Li Huaide was also a little puzzled. Why did he think Zhong Shan’s surname should be Yan?

However, since the eldest sister has come, there is no need to keep them any longer. Li Huaide can only pretend to be reluctant and let Zhong Shan and the other two go.

In the small courtyard of Heizhima Hutong.

"Aunt Li, thank you for your help, but it is more appropriate for you to come in person."

Director Li looked around the yard. It was with her help that Zhong Shan bought this place, but she had never been here since the purchase.

This place was a ruin at first, but now a small yard has been created here. It feels really good.

After hearing Zhong Shan's words, Director Li looked at Zhong Shan.

"Xiao Zhong, you will stay here for two days. I will discuss your punishment with Director Wang during these two days. You can come forward after the result comes out."

Zhongshan nodded.

"I know, Aunt Li, this is perfect, but I'll have to trouble you to make a few more trips."

Director Li sighed.

"It's okay for me to run a few times, but it's a pity for you. If I had held you down at the beginning, I wouldn't have let you go when Director Wang wanted you. Otherwise, why would it have come to this?"

After hearing what Director Li said, Zhong Shan quickly spoke.

"Aunt Li, please don't say that. In the end, I was willing to go, and I don't blame anyone else. Moreover, our family has been able to live in peace and stability for so many years without being harassed, thanks to this job. To be honest, I am very satisfied that I have been able to spend these years in peace. Now that the atmosphere has gradually improved, I can withdraw safely, and I am thankful."

Director Li thought it was true, but then she thought of her younger brother. He was in much deeper trouble than Zhong Shan. As a sister, didn't she know what Li Huaide was like?

She knew it very well. If Zhong Shan still had some conscience and bottom line, it would be easier for him to turn back. However, his brother had completely ignored everything over the years and had gone down a path to the end. It would be difficult for him to get out of it.

"Well, Wilder doesn't know how to get out of this. He's in too deep."

Zhong Shan was actually quite curious about how Li Huaide managed to escape in the end, but it was likely that he was seriously injured.

In the original drama, after escaping, Li Huaide actually started to cheat Xu Damao and Yan Jiefang. You have to know that that was the director Li of the steel rolling mill. If he was in office, he would have cheated such a small amount of money, and it would have been enough for a little bit to slip through his fingers.

Not to mention that in this special period, after searching so many houses, would it be necessary to cheat just to hide a little bit?

From a moral point of view, the more miserable Li Huaide is, the better.

However, Zhongshan and Li Huaide have a good relationship. Even though Li Huaide has many shortcomings, he is still good to his friends. Moreover, his tolerance towards not only his friends but also his enemies is unparalleled, as long as the person is really capable.

In the original drama, Sha Zhu even beat him up, but in the end, Sha Zhu was still allowed to return to the cafeteria and continued to be used.

And his old enemy, Director Yang, can still safely sweep the floor at the steel rolling mill, which is also due to Li Huaide's contribution.

Although it was meant to humiliate Director Yang, in this era, Director Yang was still able to work safely in the steel rolling mill after the incident, and he still had so many of his former subordinates to help him. Wasn't this also a sign of Li Huaide's soft-heartedness?

Although in the eyes of others, this was a forced attempt to whitewash Li Huaide, but as a friend, Zhong Shan really thought so.

This is also the reason why the two of them went from using each other before to becoming true friends in the end.

In addition to the relationship with Director Li, and the generosity of Zhong Shan and the real work of Li Huaide, the main reason why the two of them can become true friends is that they can both find the shining points in the other that suit their taste.

But it was useless to think too much, as Zhongshan himself had just gotten out of the quagmire and couldn't help even if he wanted to.

Director Li left after not staying for long. After all, he had to go to work. Half of the morning had passed because of Zhongshan's matter, and the street office was still quite busy.

Song Lili didn't have so much to do. Her department was still the same as before, so she was idle even if she went there.

Song Lili helped Zhongshan clean up the house. Actually, the house was not too messy. He had lived here before, but after he had a child, fewer people came here.

"Alright, Lili, that's enough. San'er and I can take care of the rest. You can go to work too. You can also help me get some information. You don't have to worry about me. I'm not a fugitive who can't get out. Besides, we two grown men can't starve or anything."

Song Lili agreed when she heard it. Zhong Shan and the other man were still free now. The reason why they were hiding here was because they wanted others to think that he had suffered more because of this incident. They just wanted to gain sympathy from others.

"Then I'll go to work first. I'll come back to bring you some food in the evening. It can be stored now that it's cool."

After sending his daughter-in-law away, Zhongshan and Hou Saner were the only ones left in the room.

"San'er, we will have to depend on each other for the next few days."

"Brother Zhong, what's the big deal? There's food and drink, and you don't have to go to work. There's no better job than this."
