Siheyuan: Starting to work in the street office

Soon, the day's work was over. After get off work, Zhong Shan just walked out of the street office gate and saw Song Lili pushing a women's bicycle out.

Zhong Shan took a look and saw the girl with the bicycle and the watch. She must be a rich and beautiful woman. After saying goodbye to Song Lili with a smile, Zhong Shan ran towards the steel rolling mill.

At the gate of the steel rolling mill, Hu Chengyu and Li Mingliang had not come out yet, and Zhong Shan did not go in to look for them. He just waited at the gate for a while.

He Yuzhu came out staggeringly with a net bag containing two lunch boxes. Zhong Shan took the initiative to greet him, "Brother Zhuzi, you're off work!"

He Yuzhu saw that it was Zhong Shan: "Hey, Shanzi, why are you here?" He raised the net bag in his hand: "Come to my place for a drink, you haven't gotten together since you came back."

Zhong Shan: "I have something else to do today. I am waiting for someone. One of these days, I will bring a bottle of good wine to your place to drink and taste Brother Zhuzi's cooking skills."

He Yuzhu did not insist and said to Zhong Shan: "It's a deal, I'm waiting for your wine."

After saying that, He Yuzhu staggered out of the steel mill.

Xu Damao, who was about to leave the steel mill, saw Zhong Shan and He Yuzhu laughing. I don't know what was wrong with him, but he looked at Zhong Shan displeased. He turned his eyes and said to the security guard next to him:

"Comrade, I saw someone walking around the door stealthily for quite some time. I don't know what he was doing. He can't be a bad guy."

After saying that, he pointed in the direction of Zhongshan, thinking: "Even if I can't get you, I can still disgust you!"

The security officer heard this, looked at Zhong Shan, and walked over. Seeing Zhong Shan, who was dressed neatly and didn't look like an ordinary person, he swallowed the words of reprimand on his lips:

"Comrade, what's up? I see you've been wandering around here for quite some time."

When Zhongshan saw the person coming and Xu Damao sneaking around the door, he understood what was going on. This Xu Damao was really a bad guy. He was hated just for talking to He Yuzhu.

So he said to the visitor, "Hello, comrade. I'm from the Street Office. I'm waiting for Hu Chengyu from your Purchasing Department."

Just as he finished speaking, Hu Chengyu and Li Mingliang came out. Seeing Zhong Shan being questioned, they hurried forward and asked, "Old Zhong, what's going on?"

Zhong Shan saw Hu Chengyu coming and smiled, "It's okay. I was waiting for you at the door for a while, and was seen by the comrades from the security department. Now... you are out."

The security guard saw that the person was looking for Hu Chengyu, and he also knew Hu Chengyu. After all, he had just brought back several fat pigs in the morning, and Hu Chengyu was in the spotlight. So he replied, "Section Chief Hu, a worker just reported that there was an outsider sneaking around the door, so I came to ask, but I didn't expect that you were here to see you."

Hu Chengyu glanced at the people from the security department and didn't say much. After all, they were from two different departments and couldn't control him, so he took Zhong Shan away.

After the three left, the people from the security department also left. Xu Damao came out and saw Zhong Shan and the people from the procurement department together. After thinking for a while, he ran over and shouted, "Xiao Zhong, I saw you from a distance, and you left just as I ran over." He looked at the people from the procurement department next to him and said, "Oh, Section Chief Hu is here too, what are you doing?"

Zhong Shan saw Xu Damao running over and knew that Xu Damao didn't know he had seen him. He kept it in mind and didn't expose him. He called out, "Brother Damao, I'm friends with Chengyu and Mingliang from your purchasing department. So I came to look for them."

Hu Chengyu looked at Xu Damao and smiled, "It's Projectionist Xu. You know him too?"

Xu Damao said like a lackey: "I know him. Xiao Zhong and I are from the same courtyard. This is Li Mingliang, right? We were also from the same courtyard before. You guys get busy! Let's have a drink together when we have a chance!!"

Zhong Shan said, "Okay, Brother Damao, let's have a drink together sometime later. We'll be leaving first."

Watching Zhong Shan and the other two walking away, Xu Damao thought for a moment and thought that Zhong Shan probably didn't know that the security guard was someone he had hired, and since there seemed to be no flaws in his conversation just now, he went home.

On the way to Donglaishun, Hu Chengyu said to Zhong Shan, "Old Zhong, you are actually from the same courtyard as him. Although I have not been here for a long time, I have heard that Xu Damao is not a good person."

Zhong Shan listened to what Hu Chengyu said and replied, "He is just an ordinary neighbor. We don't meet much, but his father-in-law seems to be Lou Bancheng, a shareholder of the steel mill."

Hu Chengyu heard this and said, "Hey, Lou Bancheng has been smart for most of his life, how come he found such a son-in-law!"

The three of them arrived at Donglaishun, ordered a few plates of mutton, and started eating. It was not easy to have a meal of mutton these days, and the three young men ate with all their heart.

During the meal, Zhong Shan asked Li Mingliang what happened. Li Mingliang said, "Shanzi, after my dad went to the Northwest, the factory stopped paying his salary. Later, we checked and found that he was still being paid every month. It was their workshop director who thought that since he couldn't come back, no one would know, so he notified us that the salary was stopped. But he ended up claiming all the money and put it into his pocket.

It's not just my family. There was another person who also went to the Northwest to provide support, but his family members were all gone, and they were all claimed by him. He thought that nothing would happen if the person couldn't come back.

Alas, now the workshop director has been arrested and the money has been returned. If it weren’t for you, my family would still be in the dark.”

Zhong Shan was also shocked by the workshop director's actions: "Is this workshop director so bold? He dares to touch any money!"

The amount has been quite large over the years. Even if we don’t shoot, we can’t get it out.

"He lost all his money playing cards, and the hole was too big to fill. He was in debt, so he came up with this idea."

After eating and drinking, Hu Chengyu took out a large envelope and said, "There are 650 kilograms of pork, 500 kilograms of rice and corn flour each, a total of 960 yuan, you count."

Zhong Shan took a look at it and put it in his pocket.

Hu Chengyu gave another address, which was a warehouse on the outskirts of the city. He took out a key and gave it to Zhong Shan, saying, "This warehouse is unused by the steel mill. I will trade here when I come."

After Zhong Shan took the key, he said, "They said that the transaction can be completed once every two weeks. If you have any requirements, please tell me in advance and I will pass it on."

As we were talking, a few people came to the door. The leader was a man of medium height, slightly fat, with a slicked-back hair, in his 40s.

Seeing Hu Chengyu and the others, he walked over and said, "Chengyu, are you having dinner with your friends? Mingliang is here too?"

Hu Chengyu saw the person coming and said, "Uncle, you are here for dinner too. This is my classmate. We are here to get together today! This is my classmate Zhong Shan, who works for my mom at the Street Office. Zhong Shan is my uncle, and he is the deputy director of the steel mill!"

Li Mingliang also said to Deputy Director Li: "Hello Director Li, what a coincidence, you are here too!" His words were quite respectful!

Zhong Shan looked at the respectful Li Mingliang, and then saw that he was Hu Chengyu's uncle, and he knew who he was: Director Li's younger brother, the famous Deputy Director Li. Moreover, the matter of Li Mingliang's father's salary should have been discovered by this Deputy Director Li!
