Courtyard House: My System - Artificial Human

The problem isn't scarcity but inequality; Yi Zhonghai previously had a good reputation within the hospital.

But ever since Lin Weidong exposed his true nature, people in the courtyard had already lost all goodwill towards him. Under such circumstances, and now that he had acquired a considerable fortune, how could he not be envied?

The crowd lingered in the central courtyard, chirping crickets, occasionally turning up the volume on purpose and even blasting it close to their faces.

Easy home.

The whispers and comments outside were so loud they could not be contained by Gao Cuilan. She could only cover her face and sob softly, feeling extremely distressed.

Mingming lives in a traditional courtyard house with nearly a hundred people, including men, women, and children. But these past two days, she hasn't been able to find anyone to confide in.

He encountered a woman and asked her in a sarcastic tone if she had been eyeing the deaf old lady's savings for her funeral.

When they went to the deaf old woman's house, they were only told to do all sorts of chores.

Gao Cuilan couldn't understand how life had suddenly come to this.

"Old Yi...you have to think of something! If this doesn't work...we'll just move!"

Yi Zhonghai glanced at him sideways, but remained silent.

Moving? Easier said than done!

Moreover, Yi Zhonghai was unwilling to let him leave in such a humiliating manner.

"Stop wailing! I've already thought it through. In a couple of days, on Thursday, the Laba Festival, it's a special day. Let's set up two tables and invite the gentlemen in the courtyard to sit down, have a few drinks, and ease the tension."

"Oh? I have to buy them drinks? How much will that cost?"

"This is called spending money to avoid disaster! We'll just say you've taken the medicine and are feeling better, and we'll be able to have our own child soon!"

"Really!? But I don't feel anything?" Gao Cuilan was overjoyed and stopped crying, but then she frowned again.

Yi Zhonghai was furious and glared at him with disdain.

"Why can't you think straight? We have gold bars in hand, curing him is just a matter of time. Telling us in advance can salvage our reputation. Alright, just know about this, don't worry about it, I'm handling it."

Yi Zhonghai had a good plan.

Lin Weidong's power lies in his impeccable political background, which allows him to boss me around.

If he could restore his reputation, or even make it better than before, why would the people in this courtyard listen to Lin Weidong's nonsense anymore?

Doesn't Lin Weidong boast about his cadre style and not take a single penny from the masses?

He wouldn't take a single needle or thread, which means he wouldn't help the people in the courtyard or bring them any real benefits.

If you get fooled once or twice for something that doesn't bring you any benefit, who would want to be a fan every day?

The more Yi Zhonghai thought about it, the clearer it became, and his overall energy and spirit improved considerably.

After dinner, he kept an eye on the He family. When he saw the He father and son return, Yi Zhonghai picked up a bottle of wine and walked towards the He family.

……

In the bedroom of No. 13 Suoyi Hutong.

"Did you make a mistake? Huh? Speak up!" Lin Weidong stopped, pinched Tian Zao's increasingly delicate face, and questioned her.

This girl's really gotten cocky, daring to say he was kicked out and had nowhere else to go, which is why he stayed here.

"I was wrong! I know I was wrong!" Tian Zao said anxiously, searching around nervously.

She truly hadn't expected Lin Weidong to be so petty and vengeful, and to use such despicable methods to retaliate.

She's stopped moving at the crucial moment, and she's been stuck in this limbo state for quite a few times now!

"Then beg me!"

"Please~" Tian Zao's waist slender, her expression becoming alluring. She secretly vowed to herself that she would work herself to death tonight and squeeze Lin Weidong dry!

So annoying!

Lin Weidong had the ability to see the truth, so he knew she was being dishonest, but he wasn't angry because he still had the initiative in his hands.

He paused for a moment, focused intently, and then waited for the right moment to repeat the operation. He was devoid of any lust, filled only with the anticipation of his prank succeeding.

……

Early the next morning.

After getting up, when Tian Zao leaned in for a kiss, Lin Weidong felt a pang of nostalgia, but ultimately, adhering to the principle that even a tiger wouldn't eat its own cub, he turned his head away and let her kiss his cheek.

Lin Weidong wholeheartedly agrees with the saying, "Where there is pressure, there is motivation."

He had considered trying other tricks with Tian Zao before, but his physical condition had greatly improved, so he didn't need to raise his qi like he did in his previous life.

To everyone's surprise, even though he didn't mention it, Tian Zao learned it on her own after reading the booklet!

The feeling of a woman taking the initiative is indescribable!

When Lin Weidong left, he secretly took the booklet with him.

I plan to casually land in front of Bai Ling another day so that she can also study it.

After washing up and having breakfast, Lin Weidong returned to the courtyard house, pushed his bicycle, and went to work.

As usual, Lin Weidong glanced around at the passersby, feeling dissatisfied. "It's been days and they still haven't taken any action?"

Does that mean they look down on him, Lin?

Lin Weidong anxiously offered a reward for them.

Whoever is the first to rush forward will be rewarded with a chance to live, letting fate decide their life and fortune!

……

At Lou's steel rolling mill, the workers made way for the car engine and watched Lou Zhenhua's car drive into the gate, whispering among themselves.

This is truly an eye-opener! Lou Zhenhua has come to the factory for two days in a row. Is there another inspection today?

Unlike the other workers who were surprised, Liu Haizhong actually agreed with it.

He thought that if he became the factory director or took Lin Weidong's position, he would definitely be on duty every day and conduct inspections every day!

Before Liu Haizhong could figure out how to conduct the inspection, someone called out to him.

Liu Haizhong went over in confusion, only to be told by the workshop manager to go to the office area, as the boss needed to speak with him.

After relaying the message, the workshop manager patted Liu Haizhong on the shoulder, telling him to be quick-witted and to say whatever he wanted without hiding anything.

Liu Haizhong was so excited at that moment! He almost jumped three feet high.

The factory has finally recognized his talent and is preparing to promote him?

With this in mind, Liu Haizhong jogged all the way and almost arrived at the office before Lou Zhenhua.

Upon entering, he bowed deeply without saying a word and shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Hello, boss!"

Lou Zhenhua glanced silently at his assistant beside him, his eyes asking a question.

Is this the person you were talking about? Why does he seem so strange?

The assistant nodded slightly. The news about Lin Weidong did indeed come from the blacksmith named Liu Haizhong.

At Lou Zhenhua's signal, he took over the task of entertaining Liu Haizhong.

"Master Liu, take a breath and don't rush. The boss has something to ask you. By the way, Master Liu, would you like tea or coffee?"

"Gafegafegaf!" Liu Haizhong's eyes lit up, and he decided to imitate the pronunciation of the four-legged creature.

He knew about coffee! It was some foreign stuff, a real gem! He never imagined that Old Liu would one day be tasting coffee.

"With a speech like that, you're still drinking coffee?" The assistant uttered a remark, both for himself and for Lin Haizhong.

He usually said those words when entertaining important guests, but since he had already said them, he didn't dare to cause trouble in front of the boss, even though he looked down on Liu Haizhong.

He carefully brewed a cup, and fearing that Liu Haizhong might not be used to the taste and embarrass himself, he added two extra sugar cubes.

Unexpectedly, even so, half a mouthful still spurted out from Liu Haizhong. He stiffened his neck and swallowed the rest, then hurriedly prepared to wipe the floor.
