Courtyard House: My System - Artificial Human

"My name is Tian Zao! Um... this is my younger brother, Dayong." To show her sincerity, Tian Zao disregarded the difference between men and women, clasped hands and shook vigorously, then belatedly withdrew one hand and pulled Dayong forward to introduce him to Lin Weidong.

"Okay, then you guys get back to work, I'll go find Officer Chen."

Lin Weidong also shook hands with Da Yong, not missing any opportunity to gain favor, not to mention that Da Yong had given him a clone just now.

After Lin Weidong left, Da Yong rubbed his hands together, looking somewhat excited. It was the first time he had been treated with such respect.

"Sister Zao'er, what does Brother Lin do? He looks so impressive!"

Tian Zao didn't respond; her face was flushed, and she was lost in thought. If she wasn't mistaken, Lin Weidong had just squeezed her hand.

This...isn't this...?

Tian Zao subconsciously avoided those three words, unwilling to compare Lin Weidong and Jia Dongxu.

Deep down, she felt no resentment towards Lin Weidong whatsoever.

But if I'm not mistaken, does that mean Lin Weidong has taken a liking to her?

At this moment, even Tian Zao herself didn't realize that she just felt it was unreal, but she didn't think there was anything wrong with Lin Weidong's actions of secretly flirting with her.

Meanwhile, Lin Weidong found Chen Liang and, under the pretext of asking for advice on how to handle Liu Haizhong's wife, started chatting.

Chen Liang said that Liu Haizhong's problem was not serious. After mediation last night, he was detained for another night and could have been released today. However, he had to deal with Yi Zhonghai, so he had to keep Liu Haizhong detained to avoid giving others grounds for criticism.

These days, there are no detailed regulations on punishment standards; they are mostly determined based on the person and the matter at hand.

If Lin Weidong has no objection, then Yi Zhonghai should be given a good beating.

They actually didn't believe Lin Weidong's character. He said he was thinking about the reputation and future of the entire hospital, but Yi Zhonghai not only didn't appreciate it, he even dared to doubt his original intentions!

After discussing matters within the institute, Lin Weidong exchanged opinions with Chen Liang regarding the commendation, mainly to reassure Chen Liang not to overthink it, as he, Lin Weidong, was not the type to abandon someone after they have served their purpose.

Lin Weidong had a very good impression of Chen Liang, as he was a former police officer who had been officially transferred to a regular position after passing the review process, which showed that he was a person who could withstand the test.

They are flexible and efficient in handling affairs, and they are also very considerate of their neighbors.

Although he backed down at the last minute last night, it just shows that he's not stubborn and knows when to advance and retreat. He can't risk losing his job for the sake of his neighbor, can he?

In short, Lin Weidong thought highly of him. If one had to find a comparison, Lin Weidong felt that he was similar to Qi Tongwei.

With the assurance implied in Lin Weidong's words, Chen Liang felt reassured.

In his view, Lin Weidong, who has a background, ability, luck, and does not follow the rules, is simply a chosen one with a powerful backer!

Those who align themselves with Lin Weidong before he gains power have a bright future ahead of them!

Immediately, Chen Liang answered all of Lin Weidong's questions, whether they were official or personal matters, without reservation.

After chatting for the time it takes to smoke three cigarettes, Lin Weidong got everything he wanted to know and then rode away on his bicycle.

Following the trail, we headed towards No. 13 Suoyi Hutong.

Suoyi Hutong is mostly composed of one or two courtyards. After Lin Weidong found the place, he knocked on the door. Hu Yi, who was waiting behind the door, opened it, followed by a cat and a dog.

Tabby cats and mixed-breed dogs are both popular and common breeds among Chinese people. However, the ones given by the system are more agile and have greater potential, and are even smarter.

Both are minors; one is lively and adorable, while the other is endearingly clumsy.

After enjoying the experience, Lin Weidong began to make some plans.

As for the courtyard, I took a quick look around. The front and back yards were clean, the covered walkways were tidy, and the courtyard was well-maintained with flowers and trees, creating a relatively elegant environment.

The house was much neater and cleaner than the mixed-use courtyard at No. 95, and it was fully furnished.

Apart from an outhouse in the courtyard, the rest of the buildings are almost identical to No. 95, still without water or electricity.

If he had internet access and a computer, Lin Weidong would prefer to live alone and enjoy the peace and quiet, but now he prefers to go to No. 95 to watch the excitement.

Before leaving, Lin Weidong made arrangements for the clones who remained in Beijing.

Try to live among the neighbors in this courtyard, rent if possible, and it would be even better if you could get a room.

In other places, if you come across a decent courtyard, it would be best to make a private transaction. If not, you should still keep an eye on it. Regardless of how valuable the courtyard will be in the future, given his philanthropic nature, one No. 13 alone is not enough.

Lin Weidong then arranged for Hu Yi to stay temporarily at No. 13 for care, and then left with the little mongrel in his arms.

The system is so inconsiderate. It only gave him a pair of cats and dogs when he had two homes, and he had to manually schedule and coordinate their care.

Lin Weidong didn't know if the system had listened to his complaints. He returned to the No. 95 courtyard and began his dog training mission.

Today is Wednesday, and everyone in the compound is either at work or at school.

Left alone with the women and children, Lin Weidong could only demonstrate to the group of kids how obedient his dog was.

A group of young children, led by He Yushui, were gradually drawn to the noise of the dog training in the yard. They sniffed, lifted the heavy curtain, and peered out with curious eyes.

"Come on, come on, if you want to play, dress warmly and play with it!" Lin Weidong held up a cornbread bun and teased the little dog, making it spin around in circles.

"Uncle Lin!" He Yushui, who was closest, was the first to run out, took a small piece of cornbread from Lin Weidong, and tried to feed it to the little dog.

The little mongrel wagged its tail, looking cheerful, and made a barking sound that was both childish and slightly sharp, but it didn't open its mouth.

"You have to put it on the ground for it to eat! Don't reach out to feed other dogs in the future."

Lin Weidong reminded her, but He Yushui belatedly realized and put the pieces of cornbread on her feet.

The little dog wagged its tail and looked at Lin Weidong, who then gestured with his chin towards it.

"Eat!"

"Oh, Uncle Lin! Look, it really ate it! It's so well-behaved!" He Yushui clapped her hands excitedly.

Seeing this, the other children in the yard finally couldn't bear it any longer and either put on their own cotton hats or begged their parents to let them out.

Soon, the courtyard was filled with children's voices, mingling with the innocent barking of the little dog. Hearing this, the adults in the house smiled and were in a good mood.

From the front yard to the back yard, and then from the back yard to the front yard, the little guys chased the little mongrel and had a blast!

Gao Cuilan was locked up, and the deaf old lady was already irritable with no one to help her. Now, hearing the chattering noise, she was even more exasperated!

With a sour face, he lifted the curtain and yelled at people to go play somewhere else.

The children wouldn't listen to her; they ignored her completely, and some even made faces at her.

But she was an old woman with bound feet, and she needed someone to help her walk. She had no choice but to scold her. She was so angry that she kept hitting her cane, almost making a hole in the ground.

In the end, it was Xu Fugui's wife who, fearing that upsetting the old lady might cause her harm and trouble, hurriedly called and urged the group of children to go to the Intermediate People's Court.

He Yushui snorted twice and ran to the Intermediate People's Court to file a complaint.

"Uncle Lin! That deaf old lady won't let us play in the backyard! She even called the dog a little beast!"

In front of the small wooden gate of the courtyard, Lin Weidong sat on a stool, holding a teacup. He blew on the tea leaves, took a sip of the flower tea, put the lid on, and looked helpless.

"This old lady has no heart! Fine, you can play at the door, I'll get you another steamed bun."

"That's right! Uncle Lin is the best!" The children repeated themselves like broken records, each taking a small piece of cornbread and stuffing it into their mouths while teasing the little dog.
