Siheyuan: I am a trader in both worlds!

Chapter 35 Director Wang is Here

"Auntie, I'm coming, come quickly. It's rare for Brother Lang to get up so early today. You have to persuade him well today. You can't let him continue to be so dissolute."

Hearing this, Director Wang quickly pulled Bai Ling to the open space where the old lady was while Ximen Lang hadn't noticed him yet.

The skilled old lady was in charge of the security, and Director Wang asked Bai Ling in a low voice.

"How is he feeling now? Is he stable?"

It’s no wonder that Director Wang is so cautious. He eavesdropped twice in a row and both times he heard that Ximen Lang was in a bad mood. Never get close to him.

Ximen Lang is so important to Director Wang. It is not only related to her career, but also to the employment of the entire Nanluoguxiang.

In this case, Director Wang will inevitably be affected, and he is afraid that his morning grumpiness will affect the subsequent conversation.

Director Wang is so cautious, which is certainly not wrong.

But in the eyes of Bai Ling, who has completely understood Ximen Lang, this is completely unnecessary.

Because Bai Ling dared to make a conclusion.
"Don't worry, no matter who he offends, he won't dare offend you, the county magistrate and the current director of the subdistrict office!"

“But I heard that Lao Li…”

Seeing that Director Wang was talking about Director Li from Zhengyangmen again, Bai Ling waved her hand and said indifferently.

"How can they be the same? Although you are both directors of the sub-district office, one is the Zhengyangmen Sub-district Office, which is completely unrelated to us, and the other is the Nanluoguxiang Sub-district Office, which can directly manage all matters major and minor in Nanluoguxiang. And you are the head of our sub-district office. Is he crazy to dare to give you the cold shoulder for no reason?"

It is no joke to say that all matters, big or small, in Nanluoguxiang are under the jurisdiction of the Street Office.

Because unlike the normal street offices in later generations whose functions have been greatly reduced and have been reduced to basically dealing with trivial matters, the current street offices are really super powerful departments that handle both military and political affairs, and both hands are very strong!

As long as it happens within the jurisdiction of the street office, no matter how big or small, there is nothing he cannot handle.

Even the so-called militia armed forces equipped with real guns and live ammunition are actually basically composed of retired veterans from the battlefield. The street office has such a unit!
It seems like listening to incomprehensible scriptures to later generations, with no accurate concept of catching enemy spies. This was the daily routine of the street offices in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China!

Some street offices even have anti-aircraft guns!
Anti-aircraft guns, everyone.

What's the difference between this and a truly fully armed army?!

As for Ximen Lang, he was an ordinary citizen who understood very well that the county magistrate was not as good as the current manager.

so.
"Put your mind at ease. As long as you're exercising your duties as a subdistrict office normally, don't overdo it, and don't violate Ximen Lang's principles, you can be more assertive. Ximen Lang promises he won't say a word!"

Even today, Ximen Lang got up uncharacteristically early, probably because he heard that Director Wang would be coming in the next two days, so he got up reluctantly.

"You said you have such a great reputation, why are you still worried about this?"

With Bai Ling's endorsement, Director Wang felt much more at ease.

Then, he got down to business, put down daily necessities such as rice, flour, grain and oil, and on behalf of the street and the special operations detachment, thanked the old lady for her great contributions in the past and her selfless dedication that could not be mentioned now.

Then, without even looking at the deaf old lady living in the main house in the backyard, Director Wang went directly to visit Ximen Lang's house under the guidance of Bai Ling.

Arrive before anyone arrives.

"Brother Lang, Brother Lang, stop playing. Director Wang is here to visit you. Come and greet him."

"Oh my god, she actually came?!" Ximen Lang, who was just lying on the bed playing games, was surprised to see that Director Wang actually came to talk to him.

In a daze, I just jumbled together all sorts of random things to make my doghouse at least look a little more organized.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw Director Wang, who was serious yet gentle, full of heroism and vigor.

"Oh, you're here... No, I mean, welcome, Director Wang."

It turned out to be exactly as Bai Ling had inferred. Even though he was not very willing in his heart, Ximen Lang still warmly welcomed Director Wang to his home.

"I didn't know you were coming today, and I haven't had time to clean up the house. It's a little messy, please don't mind."

"It's okay. Everyone has gone through a period of youth. Not to mention you, a grown man, even I didn't care much about these things when I was young."

What Bai Ling couldn't stand the most was Ximen Lang's sloppiness.

Bai Ling continued, fearing that Director Wang's words would encourage Ximen Lang's misconduct.

"That's different, Aunt Wang. You didn't pay attention to these things back then. You were busy striving for national independence and fighting for the cause of liberation."

"What is he busy with? He never leaves the house all day. Even the daughters of wealthy families don't spend as much time in the house as he does."

"He's just lazy and doesn't want to clean up. Otherwise, if he only spent a few minutes a day, he wouldn't be living like this, unable to get in."

Just one sentence brought back Director Wang's passionate years, which made Ximen Lang respect Director Wang while also disgusting him.

Ximen Lang said dissatisfiedly.

"What you said is exactly the same as what my mom said! You keep saying that people can't enter. I tell you, this is what I hate to hear the most. If people really can't enter, where would you be now?"

Bai Ling wasn't Ximen Lang's mother, so he really didn't spoil her at all. Seeing that she had the audacity to tarnish his image in front of Director Wang, Ximen Lang immediately rebuked her.

This scene of enemies meeting each other reminded Director Wang of what Lao Luo said to him earnestly this morning after he had sent away all the irrelevant people.
"I have high hopes for Bai Ling. It's not just me; many people, too, have strong expectations for her and Ximen Lang's future. So, if possible, within our capabilities, we'll do our best to bring them together and expedite the process."

Director Wang also has great expectations for the future of Bai Ling and Ximen Lang.

So, Director Wang took the opportunity to speak up.

"Bai Ling, I have to criticize you for this. Ximen Lang, a grown man, doesn't pay attention to these things. As a female comrade, can't you be more diligent and help clean up?"

"Why?!"

"When a couple lives together, why should they have so many reasons? And you, Ximen Lang, Bai Ling said all this for your own good. You have to learn to accommodate each other and not be so confrontational."

After hearing these two sentences, whether it was Ximen Lang or Bai Ling, they immediately had a lot to say.

It’s a pity that Director Wang didn’t give them a chance to speak.

Just one sentence.
"Look, I forgot that you are not a couple yet. Blame me, blame me."

Ximen Lang and Bai Ling were both seriously injured.

Then, Director Wang quickly entered the working state and began to pay attention to Ximen Lang's life.
