Siheyuan: Qin Huairu relies on me

"Screw you."

After Yang Jianguo slapped Zhao Xiyan's hand away, he said with a smile, "Just tell me whether you will lend it to me or not."

"Borrow, why not?"

Zhao Xiyan said straightforwardly, "I'll sign the contract now, you send the money over..."

"Here."

Yang Jianguo handed over a bill of exchange for thirty thousand yuan, and Li Weimin handed over a contract.

Zhao Xiyan read it over and over again before signing his name.

Yang Jianguo and Li Weimin also signed their names, then stood up and said with a smile, "Minister Zhao, I wish your newspaper will sell well..."

"Thank you for your words."

Zhao Xiyan nodded with a smile.

Li Weimin looked at him deeply, then turned around and left with Yang Jianguo.

Zhao Xiyan sat on the wooden sofa and let out a long sigh.

"minister……"

Wang Dongchun and Li Li walked in.

"what happened?"

Zhao Xiyan took out a cigarette and handed it to Wang Dongchun.

"Give me one, too."

Li Li stretched out her hand.

"Row."

Zhao Xiyan was slightly stunned, then handed her a cigarette.

"Of the twelve surrounding factories, eight have agreed, and four have declined because they want to see our situation." Wang Dongchun frowned and said, "I'll go to a few more tomorrow..."

"Take your time, don't rush."

Zhao Xiyan reached out and patted his shoulder, then looked at Li Li, "What about you?"

"no one."

Li Li exhaled a puff of smoke. "I went to 19 newspaper offices... and no one was willing to come to us."

"If no one knows, then cultivate it yourself."

Zhao Xiyan said sternly, "Don't feel so stressed. The factory manager just told me that if I lose 50,000 yuan, it will be my personal responsibility."

"Minister, you are being too polite," Wang Dongchun said dissatisfiedly, "We are your subordinates. We share the same fate... What do you mean by yours and mine? If you really lose money, we will help you pay it back together."

"Correct."

Li Li nodded and said, "We are revolutionary partners, so we must advance and retreat together."

"In that case... let's advance and retreat together." Zhao Xiyan said with a smile, "I have contacted the printing factory, and the first edition of the newspaper will be published in three days... so everyone must work hard."

"Yes."

Wang Dongchun and Li Li nodded at the same time.

"Okay, send the manuscript from the steel rolling mill to me and I will review it." Zhao Xiyan ordered.

"Minister, you're not going home?" Li Li asked in surprise.

"I saw you brought all the clothes for changing. You must be working all night... You are working so hard, I have to work with you, right?" Zhao Xiyan glanced at Wang Dongchun who was hesitant to speak. "Old Wang, you are not responsible for this part, so go back first. I have another task for you tomorrow."

"Yes."

Wang Dongchun looked at him worriedly, then turned and left.

Li Li walked into the office with a pile of manuscripts, and Qin Huairu came right after.

"Xiao Zhao..."

"You go back first, I have work to do."

Zhao Xiyan rubbed her head.

"Xiao Zhao, can we not publish a newspaper?" Qin Huairu whispered, "Now it's all spread in the factory... saying that you are desperate for money and borrowed 100,000 yuan from the factory."

"Nonsense, it's obviously 50,000." Zhao Xiyan scolded with a smile.

"Xiao Zhao...we should live a good life, don't do these things."

Qin Huairu pulled at the corner of his clothes.

"Sister-in-law, this is not just the minister's business." Li Li couldn't help but speak up, "We, the 21 people in the Propaganda Department, stand together with the minister... If this thing fails, it's all our fault."

"Okay, you go back first." Zhao Xiyan hugged Qin Huairu, "Don't worry, I know what's going on..."

"Then...then I'll go back and cook a meal and send it to you." Qin Huairu said with a blushing face.

"it is good."

Zhao Xiyan nodded and began to review the manuscript.

After Lou Xiao'e and An Xin returned to the office, they also joined the review team.

It was already two o'clock in the morning when the four of them finished reading all the manuscripts.

Qin Huairu was sleeping on the table, Lou Xiaoe was lying on the wooden sofa, Li Li was sleeping on two tables together, and An Xin was sitting at the table writing a manuscript.

Zhao Xiyan went to the office next door, took out the typewriter, and started typing.

The next day.

When Qin Huairu and others got up, they happened to meet Zhao Xiyan walking in with breakfast.

"If you are tired, continue to rest. If you are not tired, continue to work..."

"Yes."

After everyone responded, they began to wolf down their breakfast.

More than an hour later.

When Xu Damao saw the unshaven Zhao Xiyan, he was about to make some sarcastic remarks, but he saw Lou Xiao'e and An Xin looking at him unfriendlyly, so he immediately swallowed his words.

noon.

Zhao Xiyan asked the girls to go back and take a shower, and he also returned to the yard.

"Oh, Minister Zhao doesn't come home at night now." Jia Zhang sneered.

"That's not the case. Who is like you? You eat and sleep all day long. Guo Ting is like feeding a pig." Zhao Xiyan said with a smile.

puff!

The old women in the yard suddenly laughed.

"I am not angry."

Jia Zhang chuckled and said, "You won't be so proud for long anyway... If you lose the factory's money, you'll have to sell your house."

"If the factory investigates me, I will say that I gave you money. I will go to jail and you will have to go with me." Zhao Xiyan chuckled.

"You beast, how dare you drag me into this?" Jia Zhang was furious.

"That's 50,000 yuan. How can I spend it all by myself?" Zhao Xiyan said seriously, "Anyway, I will eat and drink with the young people in the yard. Don't worry, everyone will get a share when the time comes..."

"you……"

The old women in the yard suddenly changed their expressions.

Zhao Xiyan hummed a little tune and went home to take a shower. When he came out, he found that there was no one in the yard.

He looked towards Yan Bugui's house and found that the third aunt was squatting at the window, looking furtively into the yard.

"I'm still afraid."

Zhao Xiyan muttered something and walked towards the door.

Steel rolling mill.

Propaganda Department.

There are piles of manuscripts in the minister's office.

"Minister, this was brought by Lao Wang from another factory." Li Li said softly.

"understood."

Zhao Xiyan went in and started reading the manuscript.

evening.

Wang Dongchun dragged his tired body back to the Propaganda Department. Seeing that Zhao Xiyan and others were still commissioning articles, he couldn't help but sigh.

"Old Wang, come in..." Zhao Xiyan shouted.

"Eh."

Wang Dongchun walked in immediately.

"Starting tomorrow, you go to each factory to promote it...see if the workers have any old items ready to give away. We can register them in our newspapers and give them advertisements." Zhao Xiyan said softly.

"Giving it away?"

Everyone looked at him as if they had seen a ghost.

Nowadays, even a brick has to be kept, so who would be so foolish as to give something away?

"You gave something to someone, and they gave you some money as a thank you. Isn't that reasonable?" Zhao Xiyan's words stunned everyone.

Information is not flowing well now and there is not much money.

In fact, many people still barter, commonly known as exchange, which is also the origin of the pigeon market in Sijiu City.

If Zhao Xiyan were to follow his approach, "Dibao" would be the largest pigeon market in the entire city, a legal and compliant one.
