Siheyuan: Fishing for All Things

Lin Shaowen opened the window and lit a cigarette.

"Have you ever met Gu Huaiwei's friends?" An Lan asked curiously.

"I'm so busy... How can I have time to gossip about her boyfriend?" Lin Shaowen rolled his eyes.

"That's true."

An Lan nodded, "You're amazing... How long have you been there? The Xicheng Materials Factory has already started to make money. Minister Zhang Xiaoyu has calculated that your business can easily support tens of thousands of people."

"Oh, it seems... You have a good relationship with Zhang Xiaoyu?" Lin Shaowen said in surprise.

"Sijiutang originally wanted to find a secretary for her, but she's about to give birth, so they were afraid of delaying her future... So they asked me to do it for her."

An Lan wrinkled her nose, "I have to help Minister Cai manage finances, and help Minister Zhang do things... I've been exhausted during this period."

"Isn't this a reward?" Lin Shaowen chuckled.

"Ah?"

An Lan was stunned for a moment, "Isn't it you who recommended me to be the deputy director?"

"No."

Lin Shaowen shook his head and said, "I originally wanted Cai Shenxu to come...but the minister recommended you."

"Isn't that right?"

An Lan was surprised, "In terms of seniority and ability...how is Minister Cai not better than me?"

"So I am also wondering who recommended you." Lin Shaowen smiled, "But...now I have some clues."

"Are you talking about Minister Zhang?" An Lan was surprised.

"Don't underestimate Minister Zhang." Lin Shaowen shook his head and said, "She can't tolerate any sand in her eyes...If she thinks highly of you, you must have something outstanding."

"Is the child in Minister Zhang's belly yours?" An Lan asked suddenly.

"Yes."

Lin Shaowen was very calm.

"Ah?"

An Lan covered her mouth in surprise, "You, you..."

"What do you mean by me?"

Lin Shaowen pouted, "You can't even give me a name, and I won't recognize my child? Isn't this worse than a beast?"

"I said Minister Zhang Guoping said Minister Zhang Xiaoyu..."

"No, can't you just read the name?" Lin Shaowen said helplessly, "This minister, that minister... I feel dizzy just listening to it."

"Who let him have a promising future? Father and son in the same court." An Lan sighed faintly, "You don't know how many people in our courtyard envy... Zhang Xiaoyu is not even 30 years old, and he is already a deputy minister."

"Did you eat that agent or what?" Lin Shaowen pouted.

"The acting deputy minister is also a deputy minister."

An Lan's eyes widened, and then she sighed, "Hey, I studied Zhang Xiaoyu's promotion route... Those ideas were all from you, right?"

"You want to be a deputy minister with just one idea? You think you can be a deputy minister?" Lin Shaowen shook his head, "Sister, you see that everyone around me is very young... You don't know what they have paid."

"Take Zhang Xiaoyu for example, do you know what nickname Jiang Jie gave her?"

"What?" An Lan asked curiously.

"Desperate Sanniang."

Lin Shaowen shook his head and said, "Look at Su Xiu in our yard... She finishes work during the day and studies automobile manufacturing knowledge until late at night. How can someone succeed so easily?"

"What about you?"

"Me?"

Lin Shaowen sighed, "My success did come easily... Even if I don't become a cadre, I won't starve to death, right?"

Puff!

An Lan smiled coquettishly.

But when she was about to say something, the car had stopped.

"So soon?"

"What else do you think?"

Lin Shaowen opened the car door, "It's a good thing I don't drive the bus, otherwise I would probably become the god of war on Route 110..."

"Hahaha."

An Lan, who had just gotten off the car, laughed and covered her stomach again.

After Lin Shaowen locked the car, he didn't bother to pay attention to her and went straight into the gate of the courtyard.

"Oh, are you all here?"

The yard was full of people, even the group of girls in the west courtyard were sitting outside chatting.

"Foster father... foster father? Why are you back?"

Liu Guangtian's face changed drastically.

Lin Shaowen rolled his eyes.

"Look at what you said, my home is here, why can't I come back? Do you miss your dad?"

Puff!

Xu Damao and Sha Zhu laughed and fell to the ground.

Others laughed so hard that they couldn't straighten their backs.

"Lin Shaowen, don't come to make trouble, I'm the third child on a blind date." Liu Haizhong, who had a swollen nose and face, glared.

Xu Damao and Sha Zhu immediately had bad intentions when they heard this.

They supported Lin Shaowen on the stool, one on each side.

Lin Shaowen was about to scold them, but he found a girl sitting next to him.

The girl looked to be in her early twenties, with a decent appearance and a slightly plump figure....The only shortcoming is that he is a bit dark.

"Comrade Li Yuanyuan, let me introduce you... This is Comrade Lin Shaowen." Xu Damao said seriously, "He was the director of our former steel mill and is now the director in Xicheng."

"Ah? Director?"

The girl covered her mouth in surprise.

"Isn't he the director?"

Sha Zhu also chimed in, "Lin Shaowen is a first-class talent. After graduating from college, he studied... What's that called?"

"Postgraduate doctor." Yan Jiecheng reminded.

"Yes, yes, postgraduate doctor." Sha Zhu hurriedly said, "Don't look at him as old... He is not married yet."

"Old?"

Li Yuanyuan was stunned for a moment, "Brother He... Speaking of which, I think you and Lin Shaowen are like father and son."

Puff!

Xu Damao couldn't hold it in anymore and fell to the ground laughing.

"Go, I'm his father... No, I'm his grandfather."

Lin Shaowen rolled his eyes.

"Fuck you."

After Sha Zhu cursed, he continued, "Li Yuanyuan... Old Lin is not married yet, why don't you introduce one to him?"

"Brother Lin... are you so busy with work?" Li Yuanyuan asked curiously.

"I..."

Lin Shaowen was about to speak, but was covered by Xu Damao.

"Look at him... where has he ever dealt with women?"

"That's right."

Li Yuanyuan sighed, "Brother Lin... what kind do you like? I'll help you find one, I also have many classmates who are not married yet."

"He likes a little baby fat, preferably with a hukou in the city, and a junior college graduate..." Zhang Wan continued, "Oh, Li Yuanyuan... isn't yours just right?"

"Zhang Wan..."

Liu Haizhong and the third aunt shouted at the same time.

"What are you doing?"

Zhang Wan glared, "Second uncle, we are free to fall in love now... If you dare to do anything wrong, I will go to the street office to sue you."

"You..."

Liu Haizhong was immediately furious.

"Uncle Liu, Sister Zhang is right, we are free to fall in love now..." Li Yuanyuan blushed, "Brother Lin, how old are you?"

"Thirty-two." Sha Zhu said immediately.

"Hey, you are seven or eight years older than me." Li Yuanyuan sighed slightly, "But... it doesn't matter, age is not the standard for measuring love."

Fuck.

Yan Jiecheng and others were shocked.

When did it become so easy to find a girl in the city?

Liu Guangtian, with a gloomy face, stood up, slowly walked to Qin Jingru, gritted his teeth and took out five yuan, and said in a crying voice, "Auntie, if they continue to do this... I will not live."
