Siheyuan: Security Office of Wude

Bai Wanli smiled and nodded, then walked to the back of the line to wash up.

As soon as I lined up, I felt someone walking behind me, and a voice with obvious flattering tone said:

"Director Bai is so busy, yet he still comes to queue in person."

Bai Wanli looked back and saw a fat man with a big belly looking at him with a big smile on his face. His eyes looked a little small because of the fat accumulated on his eyelids. When he smiled, his eyes were just two slits.

This guy is the second uncle in this yard, Liu Haizhong, who is famous for being obsessed with officials.

Liu Haizhong is a brainless guy who wants to be an official. All he has in mind is currying favor with the leaders.

He wanted to curry favor with Director Yang, but he was a workshop worker and couldn't run to the director's office for no reason, so he couldn't find a good opportunity to curry favor with his leader.

Now there is a director living in the same yard with him, Liu Haizhong will definitely come up to him and lick his ass immediately

Don’t worry about whether he licked it right or not, just tell me whether he licked it or not?

It was not surprising that Liu Haizhong would come to lick his ass. After all, if Liu Guanmi didn't do this, Bai Wanli would have suspected that he was a time traveler like himself.

However, Liu Haizhong's level of licking people left Bai Wanli speechless.

"Master Liu, what are you talking about? I want to wash my face and brush my teeth. If I don't come and queue up myself, can I still let someone carry a basin of water to serve me like the officials in the past?"

"The country has just experienced a natural disaster, and as a cadre I have to set an example. How can I enjoy such luxury?"

This is true. It is now 62 years old. The three-year disaster has just passed. The grain stores and pigeon markets have basically recovered, but the fear of natural disasters in people's hearts cannot be eliminated in a short period of time.

Many people were frightened by hunger during the three-year disaster and felt anxious if they didn’t store hundreds of kilograms of food at home. This habit was even maintained for a lifetime.

In this case, cadres should also set an example, take the lead in diligence and thrift, and prohibit extravagance and enjoyment, at least for the sake of appearance.

Liu Haizhong wanted to flatter Bai Wanli, but his level of flattery was really disappointing.

"Yes, yes, Director Bai is right."

Liu Haizhong nodded and bowed, looking like he was trying to please Bai Wanli. He almost kowtowed to Bai Wanli.

Bai Wanli was too lazy to pay attention to this idiot and continued to queue up.

Chapter 3 Wow! It's Xiao Jia alive!

Liu Haizhong is persistent

Although Bai Wanli didn't want to pay attention to him, Liu Haizhong still kept licking Bai Wanli from behind, saying all kinds of things.

Sometimes he talked about the country's recent development policies, sometimes he talked about the thriving steel mills.

Those words were all over the place, with no connection at all. They were probably just words he wrote down while pretending to listen to the factory broadcast or reading the newspaper. He didn't care whether he understood them or not, and just spoke them directly to Bai Wanli. Maybe this young and promising Director Bai could see his "ability" to be an official and show him a way forward?

Thinking of this, Liu Guan fans are even more motivated

Liu Haizhong's servile and fawning appearance made everyone in the yard despise him, but no one dared to say anything.

After all, Lao Liu is still the second uncle in the courtyard. They are not serious state cadres like Bai Wanli. Liu Haizhong will not give them face if he doesn't want to.

If they dare to laugh at Liu Haizhong, they will definitely be taught a lesson by Liu Haizhong with his big belly.

Bai Wanli knew what Liu Haizhong was thinking, but even if he wanted to train a younger brother to work for him, he would not choose someone like Liu Haizhong.

Compared to Xu Damao, the "bad seed", Liu Haizhong is really bad and stupid

In the TV series After the Wind Rises, this guy Liu Haizhong relied on licking Li Huaide and really made him a small cadre. He did a lot of immoral things. In the end of the TV series, this guy was given a stupid pillar to support him in his old age, which was considered a good ending. It was really disgusting.

Being bad is even secondary. After all, if the people below are a little greedy and a little bad, it is easier for the people above to control them.

The key is that this guy in Liu Haizhong is really stupid

After gaining some small power, Liu Haizhong almost did not hide his arrogance and evil deeds. It can be said that he did not even hide his wisdom.

To those in power, Liu Haizhong is simply a bomb that can explode at any time.

Why recruit such an idiot as your subordinate?

Do you think your life is too comfortable and want to make it more difficult?

Bai Wanli said that the task of destroying the Lighthouse Country was already enough to bother him, so he should forget about Liu Haizhong's option of making things more difficult.

Bai Wanli finished washing up and turned around to go back to his own courtyard to change clothes for work. Just then, two people came towards him.

A man in his 50s with a crew cut and a sincere look, it was none other than the famous Yi Zhonghai, the 'God of Morality'.

The other one was about thirty years old, with regular features, but his eyes were very unfriendly when he looked at Bai Wanli. This guy was Jia Dongxu, the old man chosen by Yi Zhonghai.

Wow! It's Xiao Jia alive!

Bai Wanli glanced at the master and apprentice and left.

He is not a wimp. If someone greets him, he will respond with a smile. But who is Jia Dongxu showing this face to?

What happened to the workers?

The status of workers in this era is high, but I am a soldier, a meritorious soldier.

Without workers, the country cannot industrialize and has no future. However, there are wolves all around. If there are no soldiers sacrificing their lives to defend the country, the country will not even have a "present", let alone a future.

Looking at Bai Wanli's back, Jia Dongxu muttered unhappily:

"What are you so proud of? You didn't even greet my master when you saw him. I wonder how long you can be so proud!"

Yi Zhonghai frowned and whispered:

"Dongxu, you can't say that. If someone hears it and reports it to the security department, you'll be in trouble."

"Got it, Master." Jia Dongxu seemed to be listening to Yi Zhonghai's words, but turned around and muttered in dissatisfaction: "I'll see who dares to report me in this courtyard, I will kill him!"

Jia Dongxu's displeasure with Bai Wanli is purely out of jealousy

After all, he had a job. Although he was only a second-level fitter after ten years, he had the protection of Yi Zhonghai, a seventh-level worker, in the workshop. He didn't care about the fourth- and fifth-level masters.

With his beautiful wife, he can be said to have achieved success in both career and love. He is the best-off among the younger generation in this courtyard, so it is normal for him to be a little proud.

But Bai Wanli made Jia Dongxu look like nothing when he arrived.

Bai Wanli is a real cadre, not just some useless manager without a job posting. His salary alone is higher than that of Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu combined.

In terms of work, Jia Dongxu and Yi Zhonghai are not comparable to Bai Wanli.

The only psychological superiority that Jia Dongxu can retain is that Bai Wanli is now 24 and still unmarried, which is rare in this era, and he has a beautiful wife, that's all.

But everyone knows that with Bai Wanli's conditions, he can easily marry more than 99% of the girls in the city. It would be easy for him to marry a girl who is good-looking and has a good family background. How could he be interested in a country girl like Qin Huairu?

It is because of this psychological gap that Jia Dongxu is so dissatisfied and resentful towards Bai Wanli.

Bai Wanli returned to the house to change clothes, thinking:

"The bad bamboo of the Jia family really can't produce any good bamboo shoots. Although there is not much of a role for them in the TV series, looking at the appearance of Jia Zhangshi, the old woman, and the ungrateful Banggeng, I really can't imagine that Jia Dongxu, who is caught in the middle, can be an upright and kind person."

"It's just a short-lived creature that's about to die."

Comrade Jia is already a photo at the beginning of the TV series, but Huaihua was born in 62 and was a posthumous daughter. So Jia Dongxu should have died between the end of 61 and the first half of 62.

It only took Xiao Jia a few months at most.

Bai Wanli shook his head and stopped thinking about this matter.

Isn't it just a death?

After all, he had an epic mission to destroy the Lighthouse Nation, and there would inevitably be countless casualties during the mission. How could he have the leisure to grieve over the life and death of one person?

Are you bored to death?

After changing his clothes, Bai Wanli pushed his motorcycle out the door

Bai Wanli also opened a small door on the cross-courtyard side, which allows him to leave the yard directly. Otherwise, it would be quite troublesome for him to push his motorcycle through the front yard and the middle yard to return to his own yard every time he went to work or came home.

It's not safe to park outside. After all, Banggeng, Jia Zhangshi, and Shazhu all have dirty hands and feet.

"It's quite convenient to have a separate door for direct entry and exit, but the smell of the dry toilet is a bit unbearable."

"I can solve this problem now that I live alone, but I won't be able to solve it once I get married."

"I'll find a chance to install a separate bathroom at home."

Muttering this, Bai Wanli got on his motorcycle and drove to the steel mill.

Chapter 4 Liu Neng, Chief of Public Security

After entering the steel mill, Bai Wanli parked his motorcycle and walked into the security office.

The Security Department has an independent three-story building as its office. It is where he, the director, works, the security guards take their rest and rotations, and where some criminals are detained and interrogated.

Bai Wanli entered his office on the third floor, sat down on a chair, opened an oil-paper bag he had brought with him, picked up a big bun and started eating.

"Phew, this bun is tasty, much better than those messy technologies and hard work."

On the way here, Bai Wanli bought a few meat buns at a state-owned breakfast shop. Although supplies were scarce and technology was backward in this era, there were no additives, and not every shop could afford a refrigerator, so the buns were made fresh every day, with real ingredients and full of meat flavor.

Bai Wanli ate the meat buns and opened a bottle of Beibingyang soda, which he also bought with money.

Although his warehouse has advanced products from the 21st century, most of these things cannot be directly taken out to see people, Bai Wanli still has to spend money

But Bai Wanli is living alone now, with a salary of more than 1555 yuan a month (director's salary is + military demobilization subsidy + merit subsidy + martyr's family subsidy), and a lot of bills

In this era of scarcity and limited consumption channels,

Can't spend it all, can't spend it all

Bai Wanli was eating his buns leisurely. When he finished the last one, someone knocked on the office door.

"Who?"

"Director, it's me, Liu Neng"

The person outside reported a name that made Bai Wanli want to laugh.

"come in"

The office door was pushed open, and Liu Neng who walked in was certainly not the same as the wretched-looking bald man in "Country Love". This Liu Neng is 35 years old this year, 178 cm tall, which is considered tall in this era when people are generally malnourished and short.

His face is a little vicissitudes, with a crew cut, and he looks quite heroic.
