Siheyuan: Starting from the Old Society

Lin Sian strolled into the foreign company leisurely.

Hey, the two patrolmen at the door are like door gods, puffing out cigarettes.

That posture seemed to say:

"All outsiders, please take a detour!"

Lin Sian's heart skipped a beat, and he thought, "Oh my, this is going to be a big show!"

He pushed open the door and was greeted by a tense atmosphere.

Inside the office, everyone had a serious look on their faces, as if they were attending a funeral.

"Brother Lin, come quickly, big news!"

Bao Dadan, that kid, was like a little loudspeaker. As soon as you got close to him, he started talking nonstop.

"What happened? Did the sky fall or the ground collapse?"

Lin Sian deliberately pretended to be silly and cute, as if saying "I know nothing".

"Something bad is happening! Did you hear that the batch of opium for the Japanese disappeared last night?"

"It flew away! There's not even a scrap left in the cargo hold!"

Bao Dabing had a gossipy look on his face and spit all over his body.

"What? Flying? Nowadays, even opium has learned to grow wings?"

Lin Sian pretended to be surprised, but in his heart he was laughing out loud. This plot was even more exciting than a play!

“It didn’t really fly, it was stolen!

"The Japanese were so angry that they were jumping up and down, demanding a deposit and compensation. Even the police chief came in person!

"This matter is not trivial!"

Bao Dabing looked solemn, as if he had lost money.

"There is something even more amazing.

“I heard that the warehouse security guard saw Yao Hongwen acting suspiciously the night before yesterday, and now he has been detained!

"Haha, this guy is usually arrogant and domineering, but now he has fallen flat on his face!"

Bao Dadan said this with a gloating smile on his face.

"Yao Hongwen? Did he do it? That's unlikely. This is related to foreigners and the Japanese. Is he that bold?"

Lin Sian pretended to be thinking, but in fact he was already very happy in his heart. This plot twist was more exciting than eating at Quanjude!

"Who knows? People's hearts are hidden in their stomachs. Who knows?" Bao Dabing shook his head with a serious look on his face.

As he was speaking, the door of the manager's office upstairs opened with a bang.

The show is about to begin!

Lin Sian just waited to see how this drama would unfold.

Oh my goodness, this scene is even more lively than a stage!

Yao Hongwen, that kid, was as pale as a ghost. He was sandwiched between two patrolmen on the left and right, and walked out like a cookie.

Where is the arrogance of the past? It is all gone, like an eggplant hit by frost - wilted!

"Mr. Richard, don't worry. We in this bureau will definitely pry open this kid's mouth and get your precious stuff back to you!"

The police chief smiled like a flower and patted his chest to make a promise to the foreign manager.

Then, he turned around suddenly and yelled at the patrolman:

"Go!" That momentum was enough to scare the little bear to tears.

"Yao Hongwen, Yao Hongwen, you are completely finished."

Bao Dabing was shaking his head at the side, and his expression looked like he was watching a free circus show.

"Even if you don't die, you'll be skinned alive. Hehe, maybe you'll even be beaten with a whip and fried in chili water, plus a tiger bench dessert!"

Lin Sian felt both pleasure and a little guilty, but on the surface he pretended to be sympathetic. After all, he had to put on a good show.

But on second thought, if Yao Hongwen really turned the tables, I would probably be in trouble.

So, that little bit of guilt was instantly blown away by the wind.

When the foreign manager saw that the group of employees were still watching the fun, he immediately became unhappy and shouted at the top of his voice:

"What are you looking at? Don't you have to work?"

The sound was so loud that a layer of dust fell off the ceiling.

After saying that, he slammed the office door shut with such force that it felt like the door was about to fall apart.

At the door, Liu Kun's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

Why? Because a small batch of "special" arms in the cargo list he was responsible for also disappeared.

Although he had evidence of his alibi and escaped being taken away, the foreigners had no intention of letting him go.

The sentence "cannot harm the interests of the foreign company" directly sentenced him to "life imprisonment" -

Pay for the hole out of your own pocket!

Now, Liu Kun was really in a state of distress, unable to express his pain in words.

However, Liu Kun is really stingy to a new level and is as greedy as a hungry wolf.

This time I fell into a trap, and I was still thinking about how to take advantage of my colleagues!

As soon as the lunch break came, Liu Kun staged a "sad drama";

With a sad face, he came up to Lin Sian:

"Brother En'an! You have to save me this time!"

That expression was even more exaggerated than that of an opera singer.

Lin Sian was so happy in his heart, but he had to pretend to be concerned on his face:

"Oh, Old Liu! What's the matter with you? You are better at using polite words in Beijing than I am!"

When Liu Kun heard this, he had to continue singing:

"Alas! Brother, you've been badly hurt by Yao Hongwen this time. His accomplices not only stole the goods in the notebook, but also took away the treasures on my list. I have to pay compensation to the foreign company out of my own pocket!"

"You have to help me out this time. No matter what, help me get some money together. I'll pay you back with interest and treat you to a big meal. How about that?"

As he said this, he almost squeezed out two tears.

Lin Sian sneered in his heart, but on the surface he still looked like "I understand you".

I was thinking: Treat me to a feast? Forget it in this lifetime!

Ever since this guy joined the foreign company, I haven't seen him entertaining guests or even marrying a daughter-in-law.

Still want me to believe that he will treat us?

Then, Lin Sian also started his performance:

"Hey, Brother Liu, to be honest, I spend money like water and my salary has already bottomed out.

"Besides, Yao Hongwen is in jail, and I was planning to pursue Hao Meili with all my strength, which would cost me even more.

"How about you lend me some money for emergency? When I get the beauty, I'll treat you to a feast at the Six Nations Hotel. I guarantee you'll be satisfied!"

The Six Nations Hotel was built under the leadership of the British and absorbed capital from six countries including Britain, France, the United States, Germany, Japan and Russia, hence the name.

It was one of the tallest and most luxurious hotels in Beijing during the Republic of China period.

It is a gathering place for celebrities and dignitaries, and not everyone can get in just because they have money.

Lin Sian said he wanted to invite Liu Kun to have a big dinner at the Six Nations Hotel!

What is this called? An upgraded version of killing people and destroying their hearts!

Didn’t you say you would treat me to a meal if I helped you?

Okay, I’ll try the same thing and use the pursuit of love as an excuse, let’s see how you take it!

When Liu Kun heard this, his face instantly turned purple.

He glared at Lin Sian and went to borrow money from others in shame.

What was the result? Who in the foreign company didn't know about his virtue?

Naturally, there are all kinds of excuses.

Only a few junior clerks, due to their positions, reluctantly borrowed some money, but they were still complaining in their hearts!
