Courtyard House: My System - Artificial Human

This guy is now waving his chubby hands and recounting what he saw at the police station, looking quite smug, as if he wasn't arrested but rather invited in.

The people in the courtyard were bored during their mealtimes, so they gathered around him to cheer him on.

The person who saw Lin Weidong before Liu Haizhong was Yan Bugui!

He had been listening to the commotion with his back to the door, his sleeves tucked in, when he suddenly turned around as if he had overheard something, his face instantly beaming with smiles.

"Hey Lin! Where have you been all day? And you're carrying so much stuff again! Come on, let me help you push it!"

Yan Bugui's startled movements caused the onlookers to turn around, instantly ruining the moment when the highlight in his bangs was shining.

Liu Haizhong frowned unhappily, and when he saw Lin Weidong through the crowd, he was no longer as excited as he had been in the afternoon.

I thought to myself, this Xiao Lin is really something, couldn't he have waited until he finished speaking before coming back? He didn't cause any trouble that day, he was very supportive, and even cooperated with him in arresting Yi Zhonghai.

We're all prospective cadres, can't you give us some face?

With his large belly protruding, he pushed through the crowd and squeezed to the front.

"You're back, Xiaolin. Where did you come from after fighting with your brother again?"

Lin Weidong narrowed his eyes. What's going on with that fringe? Did he get cocky after just one training course?

"Master Liu is back too! Did you catch a cold inside? I remember Guangqi brought two blankets with him that day."

"It's alright, it's alright..." Liu Haizhong's imposing manner immediately diminished. He felt that being too polite was inconsistent with his previous persona, so he tried to save face, "Well... the police officers at the station have been quite considerate of me."

Lin Weidong was utterly convinced, shook his head inwardly, and pushed his bicycle back up.

"Alright! Then everyone, please continue chatting. I've had a long day at work, so I'm going home to grab a bite to eat."

Upon hearing this, Yan Bugui clapped his hands in admiration.

"Hey! Kobayashi, you've got a job? I was wondering why I hadn't seen you all day! Where are you working?"

"Isn't working for the people the same no matter where you are? Don't you agree, Teacher Yan?"

"Yes, yes, yes! That's right!" Seeing that Lin Weidong seemed to be about to start a new round of speeches, Yan Bugui immediately backed down and hurriedly echoed without even following the car.

The others did the same, silently watching them leave.

The murmurs only resumed when Lin Weidong opened the door and entered the courtyard.

"If you ask me, it's definitely about cadre work!"

"Two officials from the Lin family? That's really impressive!"

"Of course! Xiao Lin is a vocational school graduate, so he definitely deserves a cadre position!"

……

Liu Haizhong became more and more confused as he listened, and hurriedly went forward to ask what was going on. He became more and more interested as he listened, and at the same time began to look down on the other people in the courtyard.

What do you all know? How can vocational school graduates be assigned jobs? It must be because they made contributions in catching enemy spies.

Otherwise, how come Lin Weidong has only just confirmed his job after arriving for several days?

So, according to that logic, all Old Liu is missing is the merit of capturing an enemy spy!

After scrutinizing all the neighbors in the yard, everyone looked like a spy to him from his bangs.

But... who should we arrest?

Liu Haizhong rubbed his chin as he went home, deep in thought.

Even when the only scrambled eggs in the house were placed in front of him, Liu Haizhong remained indifferent.

Liu Haizhong's wife saw Guang Qiguang staring longingly at the bowl and asked a question.

"Dad, what are you thinking? Why don't you share it with the kids instead of eating it?"

"Who said I won't eat? Hey! You two little brats, don't you know your dad does manual labor?" Liu Haizhong frowned, picked up the bowl, shoveled the food into his mouth in a few bites, chewed it, and then gave the order.

"How many eggs are left at home? Give me ten, I'm going to find Xiaolin!"

"Why? You don't owe him anything! Besides, have you forgotten how you got in there? And you're still going to fawn over him?"

Liu Haizhong's wife was dumbfounded, but she felt that Liu Haizhong was even more clueless.

"Look at you, all hair and no brains! You don't know anything! Hurry up and go! I'll be a cadre in a couple of days!"

Liu Haizhong urged impatiently, "What do you mean by 'fawning'? Your words are so rude!"

Once he finds out how Lin Weidong captured the enemy agent, he'll immediately become a cadre himself. That's called a meeting!

Having attended three consecutive meetings, Liu Haizhong particularly appreciates this communication style where everyone can speak.

But when he excitedly carried the eggs to the gate of the courtyard, he knocked on the door, and hey? Nobody was there!

……

At this moment, Lin Weidong was at the police station handling housing information.

Lin Weidong had all the necessary paperwork. The police station had even relied on his cooperation a couple of days ago because he had been praised by the branch bureau for his effective promotion of community-based crime prevention and control. Therefore, the process was just a matter of writing his name and stamping his seal.

For the rest of the time, each of them would light a cigarette and steal a moment to chat.

Lin Weidong now has a job, and since we're all considered to be within the system, we naturally have more opportunities to interact.

After leaving the Household Registration and Housing Management Division, Lin Weidong went to the Action Division to find Chen Liang.

The action division office was quite large and there were many people inside. When they arrived at Chen Liang's desk, a young man was talking to him.

"Busy, Officer Chen?"

After Lin Weidong greeted him, Chen Liang told him to go ahead and attend to his business, then led Lin Weidong outside to talk.

After a brief chat about the follow-up to the report, Lin Weidong changed the subject and asked about his personal situation.

Chen Liang didn't hold back either, exhaling smoke and a smile spreading across his face.

"I think I'll get a promotion to action team leader this time. The station assigned me a new guy today to mentor, and he just asked if I could help him find a place to stay. That guy! He only thinks of things at the last minute. What was he doing all day?"

As he continued, Chen Liang started to get a headache.

"Can't we just find somewhere to spend the night?"

"I can find a place for one person, but this kid is so young and he's already married, it's inconvenient... I'm thinking of bringing him to my place to squeeze in."

"Judging from your tone, you're really treating him like an apprentice?"

Chen Liang smiled noncommittally. He was about to become the team leader, so he needed to have someone of his own under him, right? His own apprentices were the most convenient to use.

"Alright! You've come at a good time. I just registered this house with the household registration department. Let your apprentice stay here for a while!" Lin Weidong said, tossing the keys in his hand.

Chen Liang's eyes lit up! He realized that Lin Weidong was doing him a favor so that he could win over his future apprentice!

Finding a place to stay just before dark, it's not an exaggeration to say it's a timely help, right?

Chen Liang was immediately moved. It's rare to find someone who's willing to go through fire and water for you!

Is this appropriate?

"Hurry up! I need to talk to you after I finish helping your apprentice move!" Lin Weidong urged with a smile, even offering his bicycle.

……

Half an hour later, Jin Lu (pronounced "lu," actually number six), the trainee field clerk, officially moved into courtyard house number 95 with his wife.

After nearly a week, Lin Weidong finally brought in his own people.

As for scheming to have Chen Liang place an apprentice in his place, Lin Weidong had no other choice.

The internship period within the system is at least six months, and mostly a year. It is rare for someone like Lin Weidong to skip the internship period.

Currently, the most successful person under Lin Weidong is actually Chen Liang, a native.

Lin Weidong's next task is to arrange for Tian Zao's underlings to maintain the original storyline and attract the characters who haven't appeared yet so he can farm rewards.

Chen Liang is the only person in charge of the local police station who can speak to them.
