Siheyuan: Since 1962

Chapter 31 Taking over
"Don't worry, you know about that, Brother Damao, I still have to see the situation first."

Zhou Weimin put the dishes and chopsticks into the cabinet and did not give the paper with the purchasing task to Xu Damao.

Xu Damao moved closer and asked in a low voice, "By the way, I wanted to ask you something, didn't the leader look for you yesterday?"

Although catching an enemy spy is not a big deal, it is not a small matter either. Both the street office and the factory should give praise and rewards.

But after returning to the factory yesterday, he didn't hear any news. He didn't dare to ask anyone, which made him very upset.

"No, I guess it was mixed up with other things. The police told me not to leave the city. Brother Damao, you'd better not tell anyone. I feel like it's a big deal."

Zhou Weimin waved his hand, whispered a warning, turned around and pushed the cart out.

In fact, he was a little surprised by this matter. Knowing that there were enemy spies hiding in the surrounding yards, the police actually let him go home so brazenly. Doesn't this clearly tell them that the operation had failed?

If they were to use him as bait, the factory was still keeping the news secret. I really don't understand what these people were thinking.

"How can I tell anyone about this? I'm risking my life! Weimin, don't worry too much. We are in the city. Just be careful and nothing will happen."

Xu Damao suddenly regretted coming to find Zhou Weimin. From what he said, there were still enemy spies that had not been caught. What if the people in secret found out that he had a good relationship with Zhou Weimin and targeted him, he would be unjustly killed!
"Who cares? I love him. If a man dies, the bird will fly to the sky. If he lives forever, I will catch him. If more of them come, I might even become a leader this year."

Zhou Weimin scratched his hair, looking as if he didn't care about life or death and would just do it if he didn't agree.

After what happened yesterday, he found that as long as he didn't encounter an ambushing or face the enemy head-on, he wasn't afraid at all.

He also kept an eye on the two courtyards on the side.

Although no one has been found to be abnormal yet, this person should jump out soon.

"Be careful, be careful. Weimin, I have something else to do. I came here just to talk to you about the mission. I'll be leaving first."

Xu Damao wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Why didn’t he realize before that Zhou Weimin was a ruthless person?

You'll never die again, you old bastard. You're not afraid of being shot to death.

"Okay, Brother Damao, you go first, I'll go later. It's really not safe to go with me recently."

Zhou Weimin patted Xu Damao on the shoulder and directly pointed out his little thoughts.

I'm just trying to scare you, there's something else going on.

Just now I said I would take him to eat fried dough cakes, but this is also human nature, to seek benefits and avoid harm, there is nothing to mind.

"Hey, Weimin, this is not that..."

Xu Damao opened his mouth awkwardly and wanted to explain, but he didn't know what to say.

Zhou Weimin smiled, waved his hand and said, "Hey, it's nothing, we are all brothers, there is nothing to hide, and besides, I can't let you and I get targeted together. Brother Damao, if you feel bad about it, please ask for me if you can get two piglets, one male and one female. The leader of the factory asked me to do this a few days ago, and it's not easy for me to go to the commune to look for them."

"Okay, I'll ask when I get there, it shouldn't be a problem. I'm sorry this time, brother."

Xu Damao agreed without thinking. Zhou Weimin was too open in his actions, which made Xu Damao feel that he was a little unkind.

After saying this, he was afraid that Zhou Weimin would say something else, which would make him feel even more uncomfortable, so he turned around and walked out of the house without looking back, pushing the cart out of the courtyard. Zhou Weimin looked at Xu Damao's slightly embarrassed back and couldn't help but grin.

In other words, no one in the yard has ever sincerely helped Xu Damao, and coupled with the guidance yesterday, the current situation has come about.

Otherwise, according to Xu Damao's character, if he were asked to find Zhuzai, he would probably not help unless he was given enough benefits.

There are different types of villains, and people like Xu Damao are the easiest to get along with.

As long as you can help Xu Damao in some way and don't provoke him, he won't want to deal with you.

In comparison, except for Yan Bugui, no one else in this courtyard is so easy to deal with.

This is also the reason why when Zhou Weimin wanted to find a helper in the yard, he thought of Xu Damao first.

After pouring himself a glass of water and sitting for a few minutes, Zhou Weimin pushed his bicycle out of the yard.

The little piglet was just a pleasant surprise, he had a lot of things to do today.

Half an hour later, Zhou Weimin appeared in the office of the director of the logistics department.

"Wei Min, you finally came to see me. Sit down."

Wu Honggang sat on the sofa with his usual smile on his face.

"Director, I was frightened yesterday, but I recovered today."

Zhou Weimin was not polite either. He sat down next to Wu Honggang, picked up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp.

"How can you scare me? I was almost scared to death by the noise you made yesterday."

Seeing how casual he was, Wu Honggang smiled, stood up, took out a small bag of tea from the drawer and placed it in front of Zhou Weimin.

"Put aside the purchasing task for now. Don't wander around aimlessly these days. Drink some tea in the factory. If you have time, go to the small warehouse and take a look."

"Hehe, then I won't be polite. Director, you don't know, I was scared to death yesterday, but it's a pity for the three chickens I bought." Zhou Weimin smiled and put the small oil paper package in front of him into his pocket, then said in a lively manner:
"It's just three chickens, don't you think you can do that?"

Seeing him so casual, Wu Honggang gradually became less awkward and suddenly asked, "Wei Min, do you want to go to the cafeteria or continue to stay in the purchasing department? You have made great contributions this time, so it is impossible for you to move before the New Year. I will probably let you move after the New Year."

"It's all the same, Director. Just do whatever you want. I'll just work under you. Please don't transfer me out."

Zhou Weimin refilled Wu Honggang's tea and poured himself a cup, looking nonchalant, as if this matter was not as important as the tea in front of him.

Wu Honggang chuckled. He really didn't expect this kid to be so good at dealing with things. He immediately said, "You only know how to say nice things. You make your own decision on this matter. But I think you can go to the cafeteria. It's not so safe to stay in the purchasing department."

"It's all thanks to you, Director, for being so kind to me. Don't worry, I'm going to the cafeteria, so I won't leave this small warehouse empty for you. I'll make sure you don't lose face when you entertain me."

Zhou Weimin jokingly assured that it would be nice to be a small leader in the cafeteria, which is indeed much more stable than working in the purchasing department.

He knew what Wu Honggang meant. He wanted him to choose a place to take over.
