Siheyuan: Start with a big car

Xiaomei hates people like Liu Zheng the most.

Of course, Xiaomei is not a good girl in the traditional sense. She has had many boyfriends.

But Xiaomei despises hypocritical people like Liu Zheng the most.

Liu Zheng used to be extremely humble when he was in the security department.

Every morning when he arrived at the security department, he would first prepare tea for the leaders of the security department. Even after becoming the team leader, this habit did not change. However, in the past two days, his true nature was completely exposed.

In the security department, he thought he had the upper hand over the deputy factory director and began to become complacent.

"Liu Zheng, I've told you so many times that I don't like people like you at all. You'd better leave now!"

Liu Zheng was a little annoyed when he heard Xiaomei's words.

Before he succeeded in currying favor with the deputy director, Xiaomei treated him like this.

Now that he is with the deputy factory director, Xiaomei still has this attitude. Wouldn't all his previous efforts be in vain?
Liu Zheng fell in love with Xiaomei not simply because she was pretty, but because she came from a wealthy family.

Xiaomei's parents were famous local businessmen before liberation. After liberation, although those industries were implemented as public-private partnerships, Xiaomei's parents were highly conscious and actively cooperated, so they did not suffer any impact.

Liu Zheng knew clearly that in a situation like Xiaomei's, a lot of things must have been hidden back then.

This situation is very common in this era. Take Lou Xiao'e from Siheyuan for example. Lou Xiao'e's father, Lou Bancheng, participated in the public-private partnership, but there were countless gold bars in his village.

This is also the reason why Xu Damao married her.

After Xu Damao married her, he lived a good life.

Although he was just a film projectionist, his salary in that era was about the same as that of a third-level worker.

But thanks to the dowry brought by Lou Xiao'e, his life was better than Yi Zhonghai in the compound.

You should know that Yi Zhonghai is a level nine worker and his salary is as high as ninety-nine yuan!

Liu Zheng has always wanted to learn from Xu Damao and live a good life.

But Xiaomei didn't give him a chance.

"Xiao Mei, don't be so shameless. I'm telling you, I know everything about your family. If you make me angry, I'll bring people to turn your house upside down, and then you'll cry!"

Xiaomei didn't expect Liu Zheng to be so insidious. She felt there was nothing to say to him, so she turned around and walked out of the office.

At this time, several comrades from the factory protection team came in from outside and happened to run into Xiaomei.

"Xiao Mei, where is Liu Zheng? Is he in the security department?"

Xiaomei could tell at a glance that the factory guards were looking for Liu Zheng for no good reason. In the past, she might have covered up for Liu Zheng, but what had just happened made her wish that Liu Zheng was captured by the factory guards.

Xiao Mei pointed to the office and said, "Liu Zheng is in the office, go catch him!"

After hearing this, the comrades from the factory protection team immediately rushed to the office.

But at this time, Liu Zheng had already heard the noise outside.

Although he didn't know what had happened, the appearance of the factory protection team here must be bad news.

He was still waiting to become a factory leader and marry Xiaomei. Once he was caught, he would never have another chance.

Thirty-six strategies are the best.

Liu Zheng opened the small door at the back, turned around and ran out.

When the comrades from the factory protection team rushed into the office, Liu Zheng was nowhere to be seen.

They saw the small door was open and shouted, "Liu Zheng slipped out through the small door, everyone hurry up and chase him!"

The comrades in the factory protection team were now anxious.

This was the task assigned to them by Li Weidong. It was originally quite simple, but now it has been messed up.

Even if Li Weidong didn't criticize them, they would still feel guilty about it.

Thinking of this, the comrades of the factory protection team chased out through the small door, but there was no trace of Liu Zheng outside.

"Oh no, this guy got away. What should I do?"

"Should we search the factory? It's impossible for him to escape from the factory in such a short time."

"It's hard to say. Liu Zheng is the officer of the security department. He is more familiar with the factory than ordinary people."

"Yeah, this kid is a thief. He knows we are trying to catch him, so he definitely won't stay in the factory."

"I think we should split into two groups. One group will continue to search for Liu Zheng in the factory, and the other group will go to Liu Zheng's home.

He must have some money to escape."

This idea was agreed by everyone, and the factory protection team was divided into two groups.

At this time, Liu Zheng had already arrived at the entrance of the TV factory on his bicycle.

The people guarding the gate were from the security department. When they saw Liu Zheng riding over, they greeted him, "Captain Liu, where are you going?

It's working hours now. If Commissioner Li knew you were out during working hours, he would definitely criticize you."

Liu Zheng stopped his bicycle, handed them two cigarettes, and said with a smile: “Oh, I do have something urgent.

You may not know, but my father is in poor health. I left in a hurry this morning and forgot to prepare Chinese medicine for him.

I will go back to cook now and will be back soon. I will definitely not delay your work."

Hearing this, the security officer didn't care much.

After all, they are nominally guarding the gate, but in reality they do not have much power. Even if Li Weidong is held accountable, it will be Liu Zheng's responsibility, which has little to do with them.

The security officer told Liu Zheng to be careful on the road and then opened the door.

Liu Zheng rode his bicycle all the way back to the slum.

He parked the car, pushed open the door, rushed into the house, and began to search for the hidden money.

Liu Zheng's father heard the noise and came out. Seeing Liu Zheng's anxious look, he asked, "Liu Zheng, what are you doing?"

You know, Liu Zheng usually behaves very well. He is never late for work and never leaves early.

"Something happened! The factory security team suddenly wanted to arrest me. Something must have happened. Now I have to hide."

While Liu Zheng was stuffing money into his pocket, he reminded his father, "Dad, I'm not home for a while, you have to be careful.

But it’s not a big problem, the residents in the compound will help you.

Once I'm settled there, I'll definitely come back to pick you up."

When Liu Zheng's father heard the news, he was shocked: "What? You committed a crime? What crime did you commit?

How many times have I told you not to mess around! "

His father's words suddenly reminded Liu Zheng that he had not done anything else wrong during this period of time. The only possible reason for being targeted by the factory protection team this time was the thing he did for Section Chief Xiong.

Thinking of this, Liu Zheng looked at his father with some dissatisfaction and said, "What else can I say! If I hadn't helped Section Chief Xiong with that matter, how could I have been arrested by the factory protection team?"

Liu Zheng's father was unhappy: "What nonsense are you talking about? Section Chief Xiong is our relative, how could he harm you? You must have misunderstood him.

How about this, don't worry, I'll go to the factory to ask Section Chief Xiong, I believe Section Chief Xiong can help you solve this crisis."

"Dad, no one can help me this time. You may not know how powerful the factory protection team is. Even our factory director and deputy director have been arrested. What can a small section chief like Section Chief Xiong do?"

Hearing this, the old man panicked and hurried over to help Liu Zheng pack his luggage. He also knew that if Liu Zheng was arrested, there would be no one to support him in his old age.

Although he didn't know what had happened, in this situation, he still had to save Liu Zheng first.

At this moment, there were hurried footsteps outside, followed by a knock on the door.

"Dad Liu, are you home?"

Hearing the voice of the factory security team, Liu Zheng panicked and said in a low voice: "Dad, it must be the factory security team outside. Go open the door now and tell them I'm not home."

The old man frowned and said, "Are you stupid, kid?

If we don't open the door, won't they just leave after knocking for a while?" Liu Zheng's father was actually afraid that he would be held accountable by the factory protection team.

Liu Zheng snorted coldly and said, "Dad, I've been a security officer for so many years, how could I not know the temperament of these people? If you don't open the door, they will definitely find a way to break in."

There was no choice, Liu Zheng’s father could only go and open the door.

The comrades of the factory protection team saw Liu Zheng's father dawdling outside and immediately became suspicious. "You are Liu Zheng's father, right? This is what I mean. The factory has something they want to find Liu Zheng to clarify.

Could you please tell me where he is?"

Liu Zheng's father suppressed his panic and said, "Comrade, Liu Zheng has not come back since he went to work this morning. Did you make a mistake? My Liu Zheng is a good boy and will never do anything bad."

The comrade from the factory protection team said with a stern face, "Dad, I'm warning you, Liu Zheng has done something serious this time. If you dare to cover up for him, don't blame us for being rude."

Although Liu Zheng's father was timid, he had experienced a lot after all. When he saw that the factory protection team had become suspicious, he immediately realized that something was wrong.

When Liu Zheng's father saw some residents passing by, he immediately shouted, "What are you doing? I tell you, our Liu Zheng is a good boy and he would never do anything bad.

I know there is a new leader in the factory and Liu Zheng doesn't like to curry favor with the leader, but there is no need for you to kill him!"

Sure enough, the residents nearby heard the noise and gathered around.

There was a lack of entertainment in this era, so everyone just liked to join in the fun. "Dad, what happened? Where did these comrades come from?"

“I wonder why these young people don’t know how to respect the elderly and love the young?

Dad is old and in poor health. Is it appropriate for you to do this? "

"Yes, Liu Zheng is such a good kid. You actually framed him for doing something bad. That's totally wrong."

The comrades from the factory protection team felt a little panicked when they saw the residents gathering around them.

They knew that Liu Zheng must be hiding at home, but they couldn't rush in now, after all, they were not staff members of the street office.

In that era, the factory did have jurisdiction over the workers, but this house really belonged to Liu's father.

However, Liu's father was not from the TV factory. In this case, if they rushed in without permission, it might cause unnecessary trouble.

The team leader this time is Xiao Liu from the factory protection team.

He used to be a team leader in the workshop. He worked hard and had rich experience, so he was appointed as the team leader of the factory protection team.

Xiao Liu is much smarter than the average worker.

He stopped other members of the factory protection team and walked up to the residents of the compound and said, "You guys may have misunderstood. We are looking for Liu Zheng this time because he did something wrong.

Don't worry, if this matter has nothing to do with Liu Zheng, we will definitely release him after investigating it thoroughly."

The residents of the slum were not unreasonable. After hearing what Xiao Liu said, they all nodded.

"Yes, we have to get to the bottom of this. How can we find out if Liu Zheng doesn't come out?"

Seeing this, Liu Zheng's father hurriedly said, "Everyone, listen to me. Our Liu Zheng is not at home at all. You should leave quickly."

Xiao Liu looked at the old man and said, "Dad, you are old, why are you still lying? Let me tell you, deliberately concealing something is a crime."

The old man pretended to be angry and pointed at Xiao Liu's nose and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? What evidence do you have to prove that I am lying?

Young man, I have lived an honest life and never told a lie."

As he said this, he sat down on the ground and burst into tears, "Young people nowadays are getting more and more outrageous. They came to my house and accused me. Everyone, please come and give us your opinions!"

“People in our compound were bullied, and you didn’t care.

In the future, when you are bullied, no one will care!"

I have to say that the old man of the Liu family is really capable. He aroused the dissatisfaction of the residents next door with just a few words.

"Young man, what the old man said is true. Liu Zheng is not here, and you insist on asking him for someone. Isn't that inappropriate?"

“Yes, Liu Zheng is indeed from your TV factory, but Liu’s father is not.

Can you feel at ease if you embarrass an old man? "

"I think you should leave. After you find Liu Zheng, investigate thoroughly and don't waste time here."

Hearing this, Xiao Liu smiled and said, "I'm sure Liu Zheng is hiding at home.

How about this, let's make a bet. If we can't find him later, we will immediately apologize to Mr. Liu and compensate him fifty yuan in the name of the factory protection team."

As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of the onlookers changed.

"Fifty dollars? Oh my god, that's almost my monthly salary!"

"Yeah, this is free money. If it were me, I would definitely agree to it."

"I think Liu's father will definitely agree. Fifty dollars can support a good life for several months."

Mr. Liu originally thought that he could drive away the factory protection team by deceiving the residents, but he never expected that Xiao Liu would use this trick.

"What do you mean fifty dollars? I'm not a money-grubber. You guys should leave now!"

Xiao Liu said slowly, "Dad Liu, this is not right. I offered to give you the money, but you didn't want it. Does this mean that you really have Liu Zheng hidden in your home?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the looks that the onlookers gave Liu Zheng's father suddenly changed.

"Yes, Mr. Liu, I know Liu Zheng is a good kid. But he is working for the TV factory. If you want to help Liu Zheng, please let him out."

"Yes, if this matter is investigated earlier, Liu Zheng can be cleared of all charges."

"Liu Zheng is still young, you can't let him hide like a fugitive for the rest of his life.

Liu family father, you have to figure this out!"

"Father Liu, your Liu Zheng hasn't gotten married yet. If he runs away, you won't be able to have a grandson in your lifetime."

It has to be said that the public has sharp eyes and everyone can see that Liu Zheng's father is lying.

Although they were considering the same compound, they were willing to speak up for Liu's father.

However, there is a prerequisite, that is, Liu Zheng is indeed not at home.

Otherwise, what they are doing now would be tantamount to aiding and abetting evil.

In that era, people's thoughts were still relatively simple, and it was not uncommon for people to sacrifice their relatives for the sake of justice.

Under such circumstances, they naturally no longer stood on the side of Liu's father.

When Liu's father saw this situation, he immediately became anxious.

He wanted to explain, but he couldn't.
