Siheyuan: Relieve stress and relieve worries

Chapter 636: The Reasons
In the afternoon, in the main hall of the courtyard, there were three cups of tea and a teapot on the eight-immortals table. In the middle, there was a wooden ashtray, and next to it were Camel cigarettes and a kerosene lighter.

Director He walked into the room, sat down, and unbuttoned his discipline button. Then he pointed to the young man next to him and said, "This is Xiao Zhang from the bureau's office. He's in charge of liaisons. Let me introduce you to Zhang Weiguo. He's also from the battlefield, but he's a top student and graduated from university."

"Hello, Zhang Weiguo, my name is Wang Wenyuan." Wang Wenyuan extended his hand to Zhang Weiguo.

"Hello, I just changed my job too and I'm still getting familiar with everything. Please keep in touch in the future." Zhang Weiguo said with a smile as he shook hands with Wang Wenyuan.

Director He stopped talking and just sat there drinking tea silently, which made Zhang Weiguo and Wang Wenyuan at a loss. They could only drink tea as well. When Wang Wenyuan took out a few cigarettes and handed them to the two of them, Zhang Weiguo waved his hand to indicate that he didn't smoke.

Director He took it directly, and Wang Wenyuan lit it for him. He then lit one for himself and asked, "Director He, why are you here this time?"

Director He looked up at him and said, "By the way, I just came out of the steel mill. Do you know what happened?"

Wang Wenyuan shook his head and said, "I don't know, but I have heard about it, but I'm not sure."

"The new workshop exploded, and all the casualties were our own. Not a single veteran from the steel rolling mill was killed. Do you think that's meaningful?" Director He said through gritted teeth.

Wang Wenyuan was stunned, then frowned, lowered his head to think about something, and did not forget to smoke.

After a while, Director He looked at Wang Wenyuan and asked, "Why did you take a vacation? Why didn't you report to the bureau?"

Wang Wenyuan did not hide anything and reported to Director He about his work situation for the past week. Finally, he said, "I have no choice. There is nothing I can do to help. I am not in charge of any soldier. Instead, there are a lot of people watching me. It is better for me to come out and take a rest for a while."

Director He frowned and said, "Master Dao, this is not like your style of doing things. What do you think? Can you tell me the truth?"

Wang Wenyuan looked at Director He. He didn't think Director He had the ability to change the current situation, so he stopped talking and continued drinking tea.

Director He was also a veteran scout. He could tell at a glance that Wang Wenyuan had something else to say. He slammed the table and said, "If you have something to say, just say it. Why are you making me feel uncomfortable? Is there anything you can't say to me?"

Wang Wenyuan looked at Zhang Weiguo, then at Director He and said, "Actually, I think that nothing we do now will work. It all depends on the attitude of the higher-ups. The reason the steel mill is in such a mess right now is because there is no clear goal. Even the Lou family is divided into two factions. How can it not be in chaos? Besides, the first batch of security guards you sent are probably useless. They have all become someone else's people. It would be strange if it wasn't in chaos."

Director He opened his eyes wide and wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything. He just lit another cigarette and started smoking.

The main room was quiet, with only the ticking sound of the clock. The three people drank tea silently, and no one spoke.

After a while, Director He asked, "Wenyuan, you are a perceptive person. Tell me the truth, how rotten is this steel rolling mill?" "Lou Zhenhua didn't nod his head, didn't clarify the internal and external relationships, and didn't stop the people below from messing around. How could he not know, as someone who has lived through a turbulent era? He deliberately doesn't care in order to increase his bargaining chips. The working group can now ensure that the equipment and technology in the factory are intact, and highly technical personnel do not flow out. They have tried their best. If this situation continues, the next step is probably that it will be rotten to the core. By then, even if we take over, it will still be a mess." Wang Wenyuan said without hesitation.

After taking a sip of tea, he looked at Director He and continued, "Now it's just vandalism and theft. Who knows what will happen next? There are many people in there who are after money. What do you think they will do when the money is gone? They will definitely be taken advantage of by some people, and then the situation will become more complicated."

Director He sighed. This matter was really out of his control. He smoked a cigarette and frowned. After a while, he looked up at Wang Wenyuan and said, "I see. I will report this to the higher-ups. Are you really not going to the factory to take your leave like this?"

Wang Wenyuan nodded and said, "It's useless to go there. At most, I can catch a few petty thieves, but I will get into trouble. Forget it. I'd better take a vacation. My body can't stand the tossing, but..."

Director He was stunned and asked, "But what? Stop hesitating."

"I have a brother, Fo Er, oh, now his name is Zhang Jianguo. When he retires, you can transfer him. He is good at dealing with people." Wang Wenyuan said.

Director He stood up all of a sudden, not because he was excited, but because he was angry. Zhang Jianguo was now well-known in the front line, and it would be strange if he could come. He looked at Wang Wenyuan unhappily and said, "This is totally unrelated. What the hell are you talking about? Okay, I'm leaving. You can continue your vacation."

Director He turned and left, not forgetting to take away Wang Wenyuan's cigarettes and lighter. Zhang Weiguo nodded to Wang Wenyuan and left immediately. Wang Wenyuan took a sip of tea, sighed, and muttered to himself: "Why bother yourself in life? It's so miserable! Isn't it better to just let things take their course?"

Wang Wenyuan waited for them to leave, but did not get up. He just sat there and drank tea quietly.

The little girl came back from next door with Xiao Hei, and as soon as she entered the house she said, "Brother, I want to take a nap."

Wang Wenyuan was stunned. This was the first time the little girl asked to take a nap. He asked, "Hey, did the sun rise from the west today?"

"How about from over there? No, coming out from there won't disturb my nap. Hurry up, stupid brother." After the little girl said that, she ran to the east room.

Wang Wenyuan had no choice but to stand up and follow her to spread out the mattress and quilt. The little girl took off her clothes by herself, quickly got into bed, and closed her eyes.

At night, Wang Wenyuan found out the reason why the little girl took a nap. It was because Grandma Jinhua and Mother Feng did not get enough rest last night. At noon, they fell asleep while chatting. The little girl played by herself for a while, and when she looked up, she saw that her grandmother and mother were both asleep. Then she remembered that she should take a nap, so she ran back.

The weather in April was still a little cold. At night, Wang Wenyuan still heated the kang, but not too hot. When He Yushui came back, she took the little girl to her room. The two girls were inseparable whenever they were at home.

Mother Hua ran to his yard and asked Wang Wenyuan about the steel rolling mill with melon seeds in hand, and also asked him why he was taking a vacation and not making any contribution to the country and daring to be a salted fish. Wang Wenyuan rolled his eyes, thinking that this was an ideological work for him. After asking for a long time, Wang Wenyuan realized that this was Aunt Wang's intention. Well, let's take the little girl to the street office tomorrow to pay a visit to Aunt Wang.
