Siheyuan: Security Office of Wude

Xu Damao smiled, his two mustaches trembled, and he looked like a traitor.

"Director Bai, I just came back from the countryside today to show a movie. The villagers in the commune were very friendly and brought me a lot of mountain products. You are busy with all kinds of things on weekdays, and you must be very hardworking serving the people. I have cooked some mountain products at home, and I would like to invite you to come over for a drink."

"Forget about eating. It's hard work for you to show movies in the countryside. You should catch up on yourself."

Bai Wanli decisively rejected Xu Damao's invitation

After all, as a department-level cadre with real power, his every word and action could be interpreted by ordinary people. Eating a meal with him would be seen by others as an attempt to promote Xu Damao.

Although this is a small matter for Bai Wanli, it is indeed a major event that can change one's fate for ordinary people.

In order to avoid trouble, Bai Wanli has refused all flattery in the courtyard since he crossed over.

Xu Damao failed to curry favor with the enemy this time, and was very disappointed. However, he was eloquent and good at smiling, and there was no sign of unhappiness on his face. He was better than Sha Zhu, the arrogant idiot.

"Xu Damao, just say whatever you want to say. I don't like beating around the bush."

Bai Wanli doesn't like to beat around the bush with people in the yard.

The key point is that although the residents of this courtyard are beasts, they are ultimately just a group of ordinary people. There is really no benefit for Bai Wanli to play tricks on them and scheme against them.

If you plot against Lao Yang, you can still pull out his hair.

What is he trying to gain by plotting against these beasts? Figure 160?

Especially since Xu Damao's wife is the daughter of the big capitalist Lou Bancheng.

I am a young and promising state cadre with a good family background, but I am so stupid that I rush to get involved with capitalists.

Seeing that Bai Wanli had spoken out loud, Xu Damao did not dare to talk nonsense anymore and asked in a low voice: "Director Bai, when I just came back, I heard people in the yard say that Sha Zhu was caught for stealing today. I want to know what the result was for him."

“As expected…”

Bai Wanli was not surprised at all. Xu Damao and Sha Zhu were natural enemies. Most of the families in this courtyard worked in the steel mill. They must have heard the news.

Xu Damao must have jumped for joy when he heard that Sha Zhu was in trouble. Now he rushed to find Bai Wanli. In addition to wanting to curry favor with his leader, he also wanted to know how unlucky Sha Zhu was.

"You'll know the specific results when you go to work tomorrow, but I can tell you that Shazhu's life is over." After saying that, he closed the yard door and went back to the house to eat.

The words "Shazhu's life is over" made Xu Damao stunned

He originally thought that Sha Zhu had offended everyone by stealing things this time, and the factory would deal with him seriously, but it would probably just be a fine. In serious cases, he would be sent to the foundry or to clean the toilet. After a while, when the matter was settled, he could go back to the cafeteria. After all, Director Yang liked Sha Zhu's craftsmanship very much and had always protected him. Xu Damao also knew this.

"Is it possible that Shazhu is going to be fired?"

After a brief moment of shock, Xu Damao felt a surge of ecstasy in his heart.

“Hahahaha…Silly Zhu, you have come to this day!!”

Chapter 25 Lao Yi, You Are Making a Mistake

Xu Damao is born to dislike Sha Zhu, and he is never inferior to Sha Zhu in terms of words.

But Sha Zhu was strong, good at fighting, and a rough guy. Every time Sha Zhu and Xu Damao clashed, Xu Damao would get beaten and lose.

Coupled with the moral kidnapping of Yi Zhonghai, the old man with a biased mind, and the suppression of an old deaf man with one foot in the underworld, Xu Damao has been bullied for many years.

Now that he heard the news that Sha Zhu was finished with his life, the anger and resentment from being oppressed for many years suddenly burst into unprecedented joy, and he couldn't help but shout to the sky!

When the ecstasy subsided a little, Xu Damao came back to his senses. He didn't know whether what Bai Wanli had just said to him could be leaked. He was also worried that he might say something wrong, so he quickly covered his mouth and went back to the backyard to continue laughing secretly.

Xu Damao is gone, but the courtyard is in an uproar

"Why is Xu Damao so happy? Director Bai didn't agree to go to his house for dinner. Didn't his chicken stew go to waste?"

"Didn't you hear what Xu Damao just shouted? It must be that something serious has happened to Sha Zhu."

"Xu Damao and Sha Zhu have been fighting since they were young. Now that Xu Damao is so happy, Sha Zhu must have some problems."

"Of course it's a lot. I heard Sha Zhu stole more than ten kilograms of meat. Our family can't eat that much even in three years."

"Didn't the old lady go to save Sha Zhu? I heard that the old lady saved Director Yang before. With the old lady's face, I don't think Sha Zhu will be punished too severely this time."

"If Sha Zhu was not punished severely, would Xu Damao be so happy? I think Director Bai will definitely punish Sha Zhu severely this time."

"Director Yang is more senior than Director Bai. Even Director Bai has to listen to Director Yang."

"I don't think so. When Sha Zhu was arrested, there were at least hundreds of workers watching. Even Director Yang didn't dare to be too partial to Sha Zhu this time. Otherwise, if the workers raised their hands and made trouble, Director Yang wouldn't be able to bear it."

"If you want me to say..."

Everyone started discussing the matter of Sha Zhu being arrested.

Rumors tend to get more and more exaggerated the more they spread. When Sha Zhu was caught at the door, the security department didn't even say how many pounds of meat there were, but now it's been rumored to be more than ten pounds of meat.

When the punishment for Sha Zhu comes out tomorrow, it will probably be rumored that Sha Zhu stole several hundred kilograms of meat from the steel mill. After all, the procedure for firing workers in this era is extremely complicated and cumbersome. Unless they have committed a serious crime, ordinary workers will not be fired for some petty thefts.

If we wait for a month or so to ferment, the rumor that Shazhu stole several tons of public meat is possible.

Xu Damao returned home with a smile on his face, and as soon as he closed the door, he couldn't help laughing.

"Okay! Okay! Silly Zhu, you've bullied me for so many years, and now it's your turn to suffer!"

"I wonder if you will have the nerve to show off in front of me in the future!"

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha……"

Xu Damao laughed non-stop, even tears came out. I don't know if it was just because he laughed too hard, or because he was thinking about his experience of being bullied by the "pension group" over the years, and he was really moved and cried.

"Okay, stop laughing, it's too noisy"

Xu Damao's laughter was interrupted by a voice. Xu Damao sat down and saw that his wife Lou Xiao'e had already picked up the chopsticks and started eating. He thought: "Fortunately, Director Bai did not agree to come to dinner today, otherwise this woman would have offended the leader, wouldn't she?"

Although he thought so, Xu Damao, a coward, did not dare to turn against the Lou family.

Although Bai Wanli didn't come to eat, Xu Damao, knowing that Sha Zhu was finished, happily opened the bottle of wine he had collected.

"Today is such a good day. I must have a few drinks as a memorial to Shazhu, haha..."

Lou Xiao'e ate the steamed sausage with the steamed bun and rolled her eyes silently.

'Don't I know how much you can drink?'

------

Bai Wanli also heard the discussion in the yard, so he just let them discuss it.

After all, as long as it is not an open rumor or slander, ordinary people can't be controlled from spreading rumors, and Bai Wanli is too lazy to do such a useless thing.

He took out two portions of fried chicken and three bottles of fat house happy water from the space as his dinner.

Although the smell of fried chicken is not small, his doors and windows are closed, he does not heat the frying pan, so the smell will not spread throughout the yard. After a while, he will smoke a cigarette after eating, and the smell will be almost gone.

A bite of crispy fried chicken and a sip of ice-cold happy water, this day is really comfortable

But just when Bai Wanli was relieved for a while, someone knocked on his yard door again.

To be more precise, they were banging on the door, bang bang bang, the sound was so loud that I wish the whole yard could hear it.

Even if there was no surveillance camera installed at the entrance of Bai Wanli's courtyard, it was still possible to guess that it must be Yi Zhonghai.

This old bastard was used to having the final say in the yard, and coupled with the exhaust fumes he had just been fed with, his anger was directly reflected in the force with which he knocked on the door.

Bai Wanli put down the fried chicken and yelled directly at the door

"Which bastard dares to smash my door! He even dares to smash the honorable house, you want to be shot, don't you?!"

Bai Wanli's voice was louder than Yi Zhonghai's banging on the door. Not only the No. 95 courtyard, but also the courtyard next door could hear it.

Liu Haizhong, who was eating in the backyard, heard the noise and immediately rushed to the middle yard at a speed of 200 yards. He saw Yi Zhonghai standing at the gate of the cross-yard with a livid face.

Liu Haizhong was ecstatic, with one hand behind his back pretending to be a leader and the other pointing at Yi Zhonghai, as if he was pointing out the whole world.

"Old Yi, you are making a mistake."

"Director Bai's family is full of loyal martyrs. They are all heroes who sacrificed their lives for the country. They are all people we should respect. How could you smash Director Bai's door?"

"As the second uncle, I really need to talk to you about your ideological problems."

Liu Haizhong scolded Yi Zhonghai. On the one hand, he wanted to show his face in front of Bai Wanli and continue to curry favor with his leader. On the other hand, he had long been dissatisfied with Yi Zhonghai, who had been riding on his head for many years. If Yi Zhonghai was in trouble, it would be strange if he didn't add insult to injury.

The phrase "a family of loyal heroes" was taught to him by his eldest son Liu Guangqi.

Yi Zhonghai glared at Liu Haizhong with a dark face: "Old Liu, what nonsense are you talking about? What's wrong with my thinking? How come I don't respect heroes? I was just anxious and knocked a little harder when I knocked on the door."

After confronting Liu Haizhong, Yi Zhonghai once again faced the Bai family's cross-courtyard gate. This time, even if Yi Zhonghai was holding back a raging rage, he had to suppress it and try to speak in the softest voice possible.

"Director Bai, I'm sorry, I was too impatient just now. I really have something important to tell you. Could you please open the door?"

"If you have anything to say, wait until I finish my meal. Come back in an hour!"

Chapter 26 I'll label you a reactionary

Yi Zhonghai had made too much noise just now, and many people in the Central Court were watching him. However, Bai Wanli did not give Yi Zhonghai any face and did not even open the door for him, leaving Yi Zhonghai standing there like a fool.

Yi Zhonghai's face turned black and purple, and his body was shaking slightly.

The most important thing in his life is reputation. With a good reputation, others will be more likely to agree with you and less likely to oppose you, and Yi Zhonghai's retirement plan can proceed smoothly.

Now, because the Security Department arrested people, not only did his original retirement plan get disrupted, but Yi Zhonghai was now embarrassed in front of half of the residents in the courtyard. His anger really went from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

If Lao Yi hadn't been working in the factory and was in good health, he would have burst a blood vessel.

How could Liu Haizhong miss this opportunity to laugh at Yi Zhonghai? He said triumphantly:

"Old Yi, Old Yi, you can't make the same mistake as Sha Zhu."

"Shazhu stole the workers' food and didn't let them eat."

"If you delay Director Bai's meal and affect his service to the people, can you bear the responsibility?"

Yi Zhonghai looked at Liu Haizhong, the idiot, angrily and went home without saying a word.

Liu Haizhong had been suppressed by Yi Zhonghai for so many years, but this was the first time that Yi Zhonghai was speechless. He felt so happy that he went home humming a little song.

Back home, Liu Haizhong drank and recounted his "heroic performance"

"As expected, you still have to be an official. Look at Director Bai. He didn't even open the door and scolded Old Yi like a grandson."

"Guangqi, hurry up and eat. Let's go and see what tricks Lao Yi is going to play in front of Director Bai. Maybe we can even show our face in front of Director Bai."
