Siheyuan: My name is Cao Xing, and I have a strong background

Director Yang smiled bitterly and said, "You are right. I am really sorry for you."

Then he asked, “What three things?”

Cao Xing said: "First, I want to join the purchasing department and be a clerk who is a regular college student."

Yang Weimin was stunned and asked in confusion: "Can I ask why?"

Cao Xing sneered and replied: "What do you think?"

Yang Weimin had no choice but to accept this matter as it was easier for him to handle.

"That's no problem. Go on."

"Second, I cannot tell anyone about my identity."

"I promise not to tell."

"Third, I want to live in No. 95 Nanluoguxiang, Dongcheng District. You can just assign me a house there."

"That's no problem, I'll do it later."

Cao Xing said calmly: "Okay, I'll wait for you here."

"what?"

Yang Weimin immediately understood what he meant and said that he would do it as soon as he got back. What he meant was to do it now, immediately, and right away.

"Got it. Wait for me here. I'll be there now."

"Walk slowly without sending."

Yang Weimin's face was filled with black lines. This is my fucking office.

But what could he do? This young man was too difficult to deal with and would not play along with him.

Cao Xing watched him leave, thinking about the task that the system had assigned to him when he had just entered the steel mill not long ago.

Main Quest 1: Join the steel mill as a clerk. (Time limit: one day. Failure will randomly deduct the host's lifespan.)

Main Mission 2: Move in to No. 95 Nanluoguxiang, Dongcheng District. (Time limit: one day. If you fail, the host's life span will be randomly deducted.)

This sudden task caught Cao Xing off guard and immediately made him change his attitude towards Yang Weimin.

In his heart, Yang Weimin is currently a person who still has value to him. He owes him a life, so he should not be polite when using him.

Although he had the opportunity to travel here because he hit the original owner to death, he also killed the original owner in the final analysis. It was a good deal that he didn't have to pay with his life. What's wrong with saying a few words?

"System, aren't you a daily check-in system? How come you can also issue tasks?"

He asked silently in his heart, but this time the system actually replied to him.

[Ding, the mission of this system is to prevent the host from becoming a parasite. ]

"Then what are these two main quests? They even deduct your lifespan!"

[This system is to motivate the host not to stop moving forward. 】

Cao Xing was about to curse. If there were no system tasks, he could just be a nobody and at least survive until the storm passed.

You know, when the wind blows, the higher you climb, the more miserable your death will be, and he doesn't want to go against current events.

Besides, what the hell is that courtyard house?

And let yourself live in it?

He really didn't want to have anything to do with that group of people.

He was afraid that he might lose his mind and kill them all!

"Alas, the future is simply dark!"

But he is a systematic person, and how can a modern man like me be afraid of them?

In the blink of an eye, half a day passed and it was almost evening outside.

The nights of early winter come faster and faster, and people are coming and going on the streets. Although life is not very good, compared to people in later generations who only pursue material wealth and have abandoned the spiritual world, people of this era still maintain a kind of faith.

Cao Xing followed Deputy Director Wang of the Street Office to the gate of No. 95 Nanluoguxiang.

"Xiao Cao, this is the yard assigned to you by your unit."

Deputy Director Wang is only in his thirties now, and it is no exaggeration to say that he still has charm!

Before Cao Xing could say anything, a thin middle-aged man wearing glasses came up to him at the door.

"Hey, Director Wang, you're here!"

"Yes, this is Cao Xing, the new resident of your yard, and also an employee of the steel mill. I brought him to see the house."

Then he introduced to Cao Xing: "This is Yan Bugui, a teacher at Red Star Primary School, and also the third uncle who is in charge of your school."

Upon hearing this, Cao Xing smiled and bowed.

"People's teachers cultivate talents for the motherland, which is the profession I respect the most. I believe that Uncle Yan must be both virtuous and talented, and approachable. Cao Xing will need Uncle Yan's care in the future."

Yan Bugui secretly thought that this boy was good at talking.

"No, no, Xiao Cao, you can stay here. If you have any problem that you can't solve, you can come to me."

Cao Xing thought to himself that every time he asked you to do something, he would have to pay some benefits, and it might not be done, so why bother asking you for help.

"Don't worry, Master Yan. I will definitely trouble you in the future."

Deputy Director Wang interrupted their conversation and said, "Old Yan, it's time to get off work now. Go and ask everyone to come to the Intermediate Court for a meeting."

"Okay, okay, I'll go call now."

Although Deputy Director Wang is still a deputy, her status in the area is very high, otherwise she would not have been able to compete for the position of director after the director retires soon.

"Xiao Cao, come, I'll take you to see your house."

The two walked inside. Cao Xing looked at the not-small three-courtyard house and sighed that the original owner of the courtyard was probably a royal relative.

However, he heard that this courtyard was bought by Lou Bancheng during the war, and later more than a dozen such courtyards and the Red Star Steel Mill were donated.

Everyone in the yard had already gone home after get off work, and seeing Deputy Director Wang personally bringing a young man, they couldn't help but look at him curiously.

"This young man looks really energetic, I wonder if he has a girlfriend."

"Hey, I see you, a slut, are getting horny when you see a young guy."

"Fuck you, did your old man not feed you enough or what? You're exposed."

Cao Xing turned a blind eye to all the unbearable words.

There is not a single good person in this yard, including these neighbors.

Soon, Deputy Director Wang took him to the backyard and pointed to the two rooms to the west of the back house.

"Xiao Cao, these are the two houses the factory has arranged for you. They are in a quiet location with good lighting. What do you think?"

Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction: "Director Wang is thoughtful. I am very satisfied."

Director Wang heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that he was satisfied. This kid was arranged by the director of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill himself, so he might be a relative of the director.

In this era, the director of the street office was considered a section-level cadre, but was still two levels lower than the director of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, which was of a certain size.

Not to mention that she is only the deputy now.

"I'll open the door for you."

As he said this, he took a stack of keys and was about to open the two rooms.

"Huh? Why can't it be opened?"

Deputy Director Wang tried several more keys, but none of them were the right size and couldn't be inserted, let alone opened.

At this time, a fat man trotted over.

"Director Wang, why are you here?"

Deputy Director Wang glanced at him and asked, "Liu Haizhong, come over here and explain why this door can't be opened!"

After trying for a long time, she finally figured it out. It wasn't that she brought the wrong key, but that the lock had been changed.

Liu Haizhong said quickly: "Director, this is not my fault. The lock was changed by Jia Zhang from the Central Courtyard. It has nothing to do with me."

"Humph! You are the second uncle and live in the backyard, why don't you care about this kind of thing?"

Liu Haizhong hurriedly threw dirty water on Yi Zhonghai from the Intermediate Court.

"Director, I am innocent. You know I am only the second uncle. There is another first uncle in the hospital. He asked Jia Zhang to lock me up. I can't do anything about it."

"Yi Zhonghai?"

Liu Haizhong nodded quickly: "Yes, you know, they all live in the middle courtyard. Yi Zhonghai and the Jia family have such a good relationship that they are like one family..."

"Liu Haizhong, you farted!"
