Siheyuan: Fishing for All Things

"This..."

Ran Qiuye's cheeks flushed, and she stood there at a loss.

"I think what they said makes sense." Lin Shaowen said seriously, "That day... it was too dark. Although we had some physical contact, we didn't feel much."

"Don't say it."

Ran Qiuye covered his mouth with her hand.

This delicate action stimulated Lin Shaowen even more. He put his arm around her waist and closed the door with one foot.

Noon.

Ran Qiuye was busy in the kitchen, and suddenly someone knocked on the door.

"Old Lin, Old Lin..."

"I'm coming."

Lin Shaowen got up to open the door, but Ran Qiuye closed the kitchen door.

"It's noon... How come you don't have to go to work?"

Lin Shaowen looked at Captain Xing and Director Wang and smiled.

"Isn't this a commendation for you?"

Captain Xing held a small certificate with four big characters "Heroic Acts" written on the big red booklet.

"No... Didn't we agree to give the credit to Xu Damao alone?" Lin Shaowen said with a rare embarrassment, "He's already in this situation, it's too inhumane for us to take credit for him."

"This is given by the higher-ups, we can't just hide it from you." Director Wang rolled his eyes and lowered his voice, "Old Lin, do you know who that rapist is?"

"From your street office." Lin Shaowen laughed.

"Wow, this is really like a little Zhuge." Captain Xing exclaimed.

"Tell me, how did you know?" Director Wang asked curiously.

"Only your street office knows who is moving in and who is moving out in our entire street." Lin Shaowen took out a cigarette and threw one to Captain Xing, then smiled and said, "You have thoroughly checked the situation in the yard next door and found nothing unusual, so there must be a traitor in the street office."

"Great."

Director Wang gave a thumbs up, "This guy usually keeps silent, but I didn't expect him to do a lot of bad things... And this is not the first time he has committed a crime. There were people who were defiled by him before, but unfortunately those people didn't dare to say anything, so he became bolder."

"I have some doubts." Lin Shaowen frowned and said, "This kid works in the street office. Doesn't he know that this matter is a big deal now? He actually dared to commit a crime, which is not right."

"Do you think we are all fools?" Director Wang scolded, "Only Captain Xing and I know about the night patrol, and their joint defense office is convened temporarily at night without prior notice."

"Wow, the confidentiality work is done well." Lin Shaowen smiled.

"Okay, take a rest." Captain Xing waved his hand and said, "We still have to give awards to the Yan family. Don't tell Xu Damao about this, otherwise you will be sorry for them."

"Okay."

Lin Shaowen nodded with a smile, "Director Wang, if you see Lei Dali, ask him to come to my place. There seems to be something wrong with the wall in my yard."

"No problem."

Director Wang promised and left with Captain Xing.

After Lin Shaowen sent the two to the door, he shouted to the kitchen, "Come out, they are gone..."

"Shao Wen, this Xu Damao... isn't it too worth it?" Ran Qiuye looked at the certificate in his hand and said.

"I have advised him not to take risks." Lin Shaowen sighed, "But he insisted on doing it... He was dazzled by the position of section chief, and I can't do anything about it."

"Do you think he can be a section chief?" Ran Qiuye asked curiously.

"Only God knows."

Lin Shaowen shrugged.

Now the steel mill is developing better and better, but there are fewer and fewer officials in it. Lu Youtie's style has always been to never find two people to do something that can be done by one person.

So the competition for cadres in the steel mill is very fierce.

"Let's eat first."

Ran Qiuye turned to the kitchen and brought out two bowls of noodles.

"I'll take you to the department store in the afternoon." Lin Shaowen suggested, "I didn't buy you anything when you came, let's go shopping together."

"Okay."

Ran Qiuye nodded happily.

She was not happy to buy anything, but she was happy to go shopping with Lin Shaowen.

The two of them ate lunch quickly, and when they were about to go out, they ran into Lei Dali, who was exhausted.

"Brother, are you going out?"

"I thought you would come in the afternoon."

Lin Shaowen welcomed him and his apprentices into the yard.

"How dare I delay your work?" Lei Dali said with a smile, "Tell me, what's the job this time..."

"It's like this, there are two empty rooms in our yard, you know this, right?" Lin Shaowen pointed at the wall and whispered, "These two rooms were actually bought by Qin Jingru..."

"Wow, or you are rich, brother." Lei Dali said in surprise, "What are you going to do this time?"If you want to make any changes... just tell me directly."

"I want to make two invisible doors here on the fence. Invisible doors mean that they cannot be seen from the fence... but they are actually two doors." Lin Shaowen explained with great effort.

"Hey, isn't it just the hidden doors of the rich families in the past?" Lei Dali said concisely, "That's easy to say... but to make it look the same, it needs to be repainted."

"Money is not a problem." Lin Shaowen said immediately.

"Who are you, brother? Would you shortchange us for this little bit of labor?" Lei Dali joked, "I'll measure the size of the door, knock on the wall today, and it will be done tomorrow..."

"Don't alarm the people in the yard." Lin Shaowen said in a low voice.

"Don't worry about me doing it."

Lei Dali patted his chest and promised, "I don't even need to go to the yard, I'll do the construction here on the fence, and I guarantee it will be done beautifully for you."

"Okay. "

Lin Shaowen took out a key and handed it to him, "You do the work first, I'm going to go out for a while. If I'm not at home tomorrow, you can come in and do the construction directly."

"No problem."

Lei Dali put the key away solemnly.

Lin Shaowen ran to the study and took a cigarette, stuffed it into Xiaoman, "Give it to your fellow apprentices... I'm leaving first."

"Brother Lin, take care."

Xiaoman and others immediately shouted with a smile on their faces.

"Yes."

Lin Shaowen turned around and took Ran Qiuye out of the door.

"Master, what do you think our Brother Lin does?" Xiaoman whispered, "This courtyard is already magnificent enough, but he is still constantly buying houses. If this continues, this courtyard will be bought by him."

"What did I tell you?" Lei Dali said with a stern face.

"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask. "Xiao Man stood up straight immediately.

"If a word of this gets out, I'll tear your head off." Lei Dali said, "Brother Lin is so sincere to us. If we cause trouble for him, are we still human?"

"I'm just curious." Xiao Man said with shame.

"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll beat you." Lei Dali said angrily, "Put away the cigarettes quickly, let's get to work..."

"Yes."

After Xiao Man and others responded, they immediately started to take out tools.
