Siheyuan: Security Office of Wude

"Yes, that's her"

"You told me before that she instigated Director Yang's nephew Yang Weimin to kick down the door of your security department, which resulted in Yang Weimin being fired from the steel mill. Is she looking for you because of this?"

"Well, she has offended the Yang family badly because of this incident. Yang Weimin's biological father is at least a section chief, so it is a piece of cake for him to retaliate against her, a small broadcaster. She should have known about this incident, so she wanted to find a backer to help her deal with the troubles of the Yang family. She came to me at noon today, and I asked someone to drive her away directly. I didn't expect that she would not give up and blocked me on the way home from get off work."

"I'm telling you, if she says anything weird to you later, don't believe her. I've always loved you wholeheartedly."

Zhu Qingan smiled and said:

"I now know exactly what kind of person Yu Haitang is. I'm not that easily fooled."

"This is not a question of whether it's easy to be deceived. We understand each other and are united in our attitude towards the outside world. Outsiders with bad intentions like Yu Haitang cannot affect our relationship, but we must also be united internally. I can explain this kind of thing to you in just a few words. There's no need to hide it and make you guess."

"We've all worked hard all day, so don't waste your energy at home. It's better to talk it out."

Zhu Qingan thought for a moment and asked, "Are you afraid that you might have killed Yu Haitang just now?"

"Don't worry, even if Yu Haitang didn't dodge just now, I would have changed direction in time. At most, I would have scratched her. Besides, according to the rules, the leader's car cannot be stopped casually."

"When we first founded the country, many enemy agents were lurking around. In addition to gathering intelligence, they also wanted to assassinate important leaders. One of their tactics was to pretend to be an ordinary citizen, stop the leader's car, and then throw a few grenades at him."

"Although I'm riding a motorcycle, she can't stop me. Even if she wants to cause trouble, I can just catch her for attempted assassination and punish her for suspected enemy spy. She won't be able to cause any trouble."

“So you’ve already thought about it.”

"After all, my job is to arrest people. When I have nothing to do, I sometimes think about how I should respond if someone wants to arrest me on different charges. I have prepared many countermeasures, just like you would think about how to sew stitches for someone."

Zhu Qingan felt that the matter of sewing needles seemed a little strange compared to arresting people, but he couldn't tell what was wrong, so he skipped the topic.

"This Yu Haitang is really annoying. I hope she can learn from this lesson and stop trying to get close to us."

Bai Wanli, who was riding a bicycle, curled his lips, looking inexplicably

People always remember the food but not the beating. As for whether Yu Haitang can learn from his lesson, Bai Wanli really has no hope. And even if Yu Haitang is really afraid of Bai Wanli and dares not to come to him, then she can only change her target at most.

After all, Yu Haitang's primary need now is to find a backer to help her deal with the Yang family. Bai Wanli is only Yu Haitang's first target, which does not mean that she has completely given up on everything else.

Bai Wanli didn't want to mention Yu Haitang, a bad guy, to affect the couple's mood. He told some funny things during the day to make Zhu Qingan laugh, and soon the two of them were filled with joy again.

After buying groceries and returning home, Zhu Qingan rolled up his sleeves and went into the kitchen

Today they were lucky and bought a fish weighing more than six pounds. They prepared braised fish according to Bai Wanli's idea.

Sijiu City is not near the sea, and there is no developed transportation system, so it is rare to eat marine fish, mainly river fish.

River fish has a strong earthy smell, so it needs a lot of onion and ginger, fried in oil, and seasoned with a lot of soy sauce to taste good. This way of eating is too extravagant for ordinary people who have limited quotas for oil and sauce, so not many people eat fish.

As Zhu Qingan was busy in the kitchen, a strong aroma of oil and soy sauce soon wafted out from the yard.

Bai Wanli, who was passing the time in the main room reading comic books, was also helpless about this.

He didn't want everyone to know about his meal, but without a range hood, he had to open the window for ventilation, otherwise Zhu Qing'an would be marinated.

At the Intermediate Court, Fang Qiang said to Li: "Xiao Li, I will take you to the director for a formal introduction in a moment. Do you remember the etiquette I told you?"

"Brother Qiangzi, please review it again for me."

"Okay, when you see the director, just call him Director or Director Bai, in the yard or anywhere else. If the director lets you call him by his name, he's just being polite, so don't really call him sister-in-law. Just call him Director Zhu first, and then you can call him sister-in-law after we get married."

"Brother Qiangzi, I remember everything, but this is our first time visiting together, don't we need to bring some gifts?"

"No, today we are just going to meet and get to know each other. It's not a formal visit, so there's no need to be particular about that. The director doesn't like these old rules either. As for my sister-in-law... I'll ask the director later. If he doesn't mind, you can help share some of the yard work for my sister-in-law. If the director doesn't mind, then forget it."

"You must remember that the Liu family in the backyard was punished because they kept hovering around the director like flies, trying to curry favor with him. As a result, the director was disturbed and had to deal with them."

My goodness, Liu Haizhong's family has now become a negative example, and Fang Qiang has used them to educate Yu Li. If Liu Haizhong, who is eager to leave a good impression in front of his boss, knew about this, he would probably cry to death.

However, having a real negative example can effectively improve the level of education. At least if Yu Li can think "I must not do the same stupid thing as that family", this kind of thought can be considered a success.

After discussing everything here, Fang Qiang led Yu Li to knock on the door of Bai Wanli's courtyard.

Many people in the yard were watching from home, and the Liu family also pricked up their ears.

The reason is simple. The people in the yard have always wanted to curry favor with Bai Wanli, but to no avail. Apart from the three old men who have a particularly bad relationship with Bai Wanli, the remaining neighbors, although not disliked by Bai Wanli, have a mediocre relationship with him.

Now they wanted to see how Fang Qiang, the captain of the security department, talked to Bai Wanli so that they could learn from him.

"Who?"

Chapter 166: Sisters with huge differences, the Liu family who never gives up

After Fang Qiang answered, Bai Wanli came out to open the door. Seeing that it was Fang Qiang and Yu Li coming together, he smiled and said, "Oh, the young couple came together?"

Yu Li blushed slightly, and Fang Qiang looked a little shy.

Bai Wanli noticed that many people in the yard were staring at this place. He didn't like being treated like a monkey, so he said, "Don't stand here, come in and sit down first."

Bai Wanli led the people into the main room, took out two bottles of soda, and handed them to the two people who were a little reserved.

"Thank you, Director. I came here today to introduce you to my girlfriend, Yu Li."

"I heard from Fang Wei that he would bring someone to see me today. Have you two already set a date?"

"Xiao Li and I are determined to get married. We are currently choosing a date and preparing wedding supplies."

"Well, that's great. Remember to let me know when the date is set. I'll go drink a glass of wine at your wedding and share in your joy." Since Fang Qiang was someone Bai Wanli wanted to help and train, Bai Wanli would naturally give him some face and not even refuse to drink a glass of wine at your wedding.

Fang Qiang said happily: "Thank you, Director. I will definitely have your cup when the time comes." After saying that, he gently nudged Yu Li with his arm.

Yu Li immediately understood: "Thank you Director Bai for your willingness to honor me." Compared to Yu Haitang, who was overly self-conscious, Yu Li had a clearer understanding of herself. For an ordinary person like her, it was already a great fortune to marry a young captain and have a senior leader at the director level willing to attend the wedding.

"You don't have to be so polite to me. We're not at work right now. Besides, after you and Fang Qiang got married, we'll be neighbors. We'll see each other every day. Just be casual."

Bai Wanli spoke kindly, but Yu Li had Fang Qiang's previous instructions, so she didn't dare to ask Dadi to greet Bai Wanli casually, and she still maintained a polite attitude.

"What are you talking about?"

As they were talking, Zhu Qing'an returned to the main room from the kitchen. Fang Qiang and Yu Li quickly got up.

"Hello, sister-in-law"

"Hello, Director"

Zhu Qingan greeted the two of them, and then was pulled by Bai Wanli to sit down

"Nothing much, Fang Qiang just brought his girlfriend Yu Li over to say hello."

"That's great. We'll be neighbors from now on. We can visit each other more often and take care of each other if anything happens."

"No problem. Director Zhu, if you have any questions in the future, please feel free to come to me and I will definitely help you."

"Don't be so polite. Fang Qiang and the others all call me sister-in-law. You are Fang Qiang's girlfriend, so you should call me sister-in-law too."

Yu Li said tactfully: "Brother Qiangzi and I haven't obtained the marriage certificate yet. It won't be too late to change our words after we get it."

Originally, Zhu Qingan knew that Bai Wanli wanted to promote Fang Qiang. For Bai Wanli's sake, she was very friendly to Fang Qiang and Yu Li. However, Yu Li's attitude made Zhu Qingan look at her in a new light. Putting aside Bai Wanli's sake, she also had a certain liking for Yu Li.

After sending Fang Qiang and Yu Li out, Zhu Qing'an also talked about this with Bai Wanli.

"Hey, you said they are sisters, how can there be such a big difference between them? Although Yu Li tried to please us and was a little nervous when she spoke, at least she knew the basic limits and didn't make people hate her."

"Yu Haitang is so restless. Yesterday, she instigated Yang Weimin to cause trouble for the Security Department. Today, she has the crazy idea of ​​getting close to you. She is a fence-sitter. Compared with her sister, she is a million miles away from being a good person."

"I'm not their parents, how would I know? Although a dragon gives birth to a dragon and a phoenix gives birth to a phoenix, there's also an old saying that a dragon gives birth to nine sons, and each of them is different. Maybe Yu Li and Yu Haitang are the two extremes with the biggest difference."

The Bai couple really couldn't understand the huge difference between the Yu sisters.

When Fang Qiang and Yu Li walked out of Bai Wanli's courtyard, they were all smiling.

Everyone in the yard saw this, and some people secretly speculated: "Captain Fang and his girlfriend are so happy, could it be that Director Bai promised to give them some benefits when they came to visit?"

It's reasonable for someone to guess this, but there's no way to go directly to Fang Qiang to verify it.

Liu Haizhong, who secretly came to the middle courtyard to observe, hoping to find a way to please Bai Wanli from Fang Qiang, was also very confused and went home with his head down.

Back at Liu's house, Zhu Xiuying, who had just finished cooking, wiped her hands and came over to ask, "Old Liu, how are you? Did you figure out what's going on?"

Liu Haizhong sat down on the chair, his fat face full of confusion: "It's really strange, I just can't figure out anything"

"Captain Fang and his girlfriend went to Director Bai's house and came out in less than ten minutes. They didn't even have any gifts in their hands, but when they came out, they were smiling as if they had received a great benefit. I don't understand why they did that."

Liu Guangqi also climbed up from the bed at this time and said, "Dad, did you really see that Fang Qiang really didn't take any gifts?"

"It's definitely nothing. I saw it with my own eyes. If he really gave me a gift, I would definitely learn to prepare an identical one for Director Bai."

Liu Guangqi's eyes turned and he said, "No, he must have given him a gift, and Director Bai also promised him a lot of benefits, otherwise why would he smile so happily? Since you didn't see the gift, maybe he just gave money directly, and put a pile of money in his pocket, so that it really can't be seen from outside."

"Well, that should be it."

Liu Haizhong agreed with Liu Guangqi's opinion, because they thought that they would make a lot of money after becoming officials, otherwise how could they earn back the cost of being an official? So in their imagination, Bai Wanli would definitely make money by any means possible.

The last time we failed, it was just because the number was too small to satisfy Bai Wanli's appetite.

"Dad, it seems that if we want to impress Director Bai, it is most practical to just give him money. How about you think of a way?"

"Guangqi, you know that our family still has a lot of debts. How can I have money? How is your job search going? You can earn more money and we can work hard together to give Director Bai a big gift as soon as possible."

If giving money to Bai Wanli would be useful, Liu Haizhong would not hesitate

But he has no money now. The previous incident has emptied his family's savings. Now not only is his salary reduced every month, but he also has to return the gifts from the courtyard and Yi Zhonghai's medical expenses. The remaining money every month can barely fill his stomach. Liu Haizhong even gave up the scrambled eggs he used to eat with wine every day. He really has no money.

When it comes to work, Liu Guangqi looks embarrassed. His file has been damaged. How can he find a decent job with such an eye-catching word as "Xinghui" written on it?

As for other jobs, such as burying the dead and digging out manure, Liu Guangqi thought they were too hard, paid little, and were embarrassing, so he was unwilling to do them.

The key is that Liu Haizhong can still work. Although the monthly salary is tight, it can maintain the basic expenses and survival of the family. Liu Guangqi has no sense of urgency to survive, so he naturally can't put down his face and look for jobs that he thinks are not decent.

Chapter 167 Fang Qiang gets married, Yi Zhonghai is targeted

The topic of Liu Guangqi looking for a job ended in vain

Half a month passed quickly, and Fang Qiang and Yu Li got married.

On the wedding day, Fang Qiang wore a brand new Zhongshan suit and rode a shiny bicycle to the compound where Yu's family lived.

"Xiao Li, I'm here to pick you up"

Yu Li also wore a new dress. Although the style and fabric were not as good as the one Zhu Qingan wore, she looked pretty and charming with a red flower on her head.

Amid the compliments of the neighbors, "Xiao Li is so lucky" and "The girl from the Yu family looks so beautiful today", Yu Li shyly took Fang Qiang's hand and sat on the back seat of the bicycle.
