Courtyard House: My System - Artificial Human
Chapter 71 Fame Has Both Good and Bad
Upon arriving at the office, several familiar colleagues offered me cigarettes and struck up a conversation, subtly inquiring about my weekend.
Lin Weidong knew that some news of the entrapment operation had spread, but he maintained his facade and dealt with it.
In the afternoon, the tasks for February were issued.
There are more private enterprise department visits to factories these days. Lin Weidong glanced at the schedule and saw that Lou's Steel Rolling Mill was scheduled for tomorrow.
The time was almost right, after all, Lou Zhenhua had even invited He Daqing to the steel rolling mill.
This shows that he still has a great need for upward social connections; what he lacks now is the goodwill that Lin Weidong has shown.
Let's wait until tomorrow.
There are still matters concerning the Hou family that need to be dealt with.
Lin Weidong planned to place someone in the Foreign Affairs Bureau, and the relevant identity information system was already prepared the night Cui Bashan's wife appeared.
Now we're just waiting to complete the organizational process, just like Cui Bashan did back then.
Although the system can create identities out of thin air, the higher the level, the more complex and essential the corresponding transfer process becomes. There's nothing to worry about in this regard; just wait.
In the drama, the man surnamed Hou abandoned his wife and children, absconded with the money, and settled overseas.
Lin Weidong estimated that this would happen soon, since in another six months, when the situation becomes more tense and the scrutiny becomes stricter, there would be virtually no chance of someone absconding with the money.
Moreover, he estimated that the Hou family had taken the Hong Kong route, which could be considered a private escape.
Based on his understanding of the policies, this situation is absolutely not allowed.
Illegal exit from the country and absconding with the money.
When the time comes, let the Foreign Affairs Bureau investigate, and he'll be locked up for life!
……
"Comrade Lin, have a candy!"
Lin Weidong's thoughts were interrupted. He looked up and saw a new colleague with an ordinary appearance and a capable demeanor standing in front of his desk.
He reached out and handed me an ABC milk candy.
This is the third candy I've had today.
At first, everyone in the office received one, then he was given one, and now people just reach out and hand it to him, waiting for him to take it.
Having a good reputation can be good or bad!
Lin Weidong greeted him with a smile, but as he reached out to take the manuscript, he subtly dragged it off the table to the floor.
"Thank you... Huh?"
Lin Weidong hurriedly stopped, bent down to pick up the manuscript, and forcibly diverted the attention of the other party and everyone in the department from watching the show.
When the manuscript was picked up, it already had soil stains and ink marks, and Lin Weidong hurriedly tidied it up.
"Comrade Lin, I'm sorry... shall I rewrite it for you?"
"It's alright, it's alright! It's not your fault, I'll take care of it in a bit!"
Lin Weidong declined the other party's offer and watched the young girl sit back at her desk with a sheepish expression, feeling a sense of relief.
It all comes down to his reputation. When Lin Weidong was about to cooperate with the entrapment operation, most people in the bureau were not optimistic about it.
Now that they have achieved a partial victory, everyone has to admit that Lin Weidong has had some luck.
When two people are paired together, their goodwill naturally increases, and it's normal for them to have some thoughts about it.
During lunch, an older woman came over to play matchmaker, asking him if he had a girlfriend.
However, it's always been Lin Weidong who's the one keeping an eye on others; how could he possibly be the one being watched?
The main problem is that the other person's appearance isn't up to par either; even beauty pills can't save them.
Lin Weidong felt that he was not worthy of such a kind and beautiful comrade.
On this day, Lin Weidong was chopping peach blossoms, looking quite tired.
That evening, he went directly to the entrance of the Municipal Bureau to pick up Bai Ling after get off work.
There's no other way; the wedding must be moved to the next agenda item.
He can refuse on his own, but if he does it too often, people will inevitably gossip about him. If word gets out that he has high standards and doesn't think he can stand good comrades, it will damage his image.
After Lin Weidong arrived at the location and explained his purpose, he waited for a while and was surprised to find Zheng Chaoyang standing there.
Moreover, his opening remarks were full of teasing.
"Hehe! Weidong, you're amazing! Come on, let's go inside and warm up. You can tell us about you and Comrade Bai Ling!"
Seeing that his attitude seemed genuine, and that the positive impression he had of him remained unchanged, Lin Weidong noticed that Lin Weidong's attitude towards him was genuine.
After thinking about it for a moment, I understood.
This guy probably has no feelings for Bai Ling at all; he's a total straight man, or perhaps the story hasn't progressed to that point yet.
After all, Bai Ling had previously admitted that they were focused solely on solving the case and hadn't thought about anything else.
If that's the case, Lin Weidong will feel much more at ease, as he won't have to deal with him the way he dealt with Tie Dan.
Upon arriving at the office, Zheng Chaoyang first blocked Lin Weidong at the door.
"Comrade Bai Ling, guess who came to see you!"
Who is it?
Bai Ling peeked out from behind the table, looking completely bewildered. She had just seen Zheng Chaoyang answer a phone call, whisper something to Hao Pingchuan, and then run out.
She thought there was progress in the case and had no idea that someone was contacting her.
"Hehe!" Hao Pingchuan chuckled, standing beside Bai Ling's table, waiting to watch the show.
He was the one who speculated about the relationship between the two to Zheng Chaoyang just now; he had long felt that Bai Ling and Lin Weidong had a secret.
"Comrade Bai Ling, that's not fair of you! You didn't report good news to the organization!"
Zheng Chaoyang feigned displeasure and pulled Lin Weidong, who was standing at the door, inside.
"Why are you here?" Bai Ling reacted and got up to greet her.
She wondered if Lin Weidong was up to something bad again. Or had he had a fight with Zao'er and been kicked out?
"I haven't been here for several days..."
"Ouch..."
Before Lin Weidong could finish speaking, a commotion erupted in the office.
Lin Weidong was not averse to the attitude of the crowd; he had come here to put the relationship out in the open.
He wore an embarrassed smile as he took out his cigarettes and smoked them away.
After a cigarette's time, Lin Weidong and Bai Ling were teased and kicked out of the office by everyone.
On the way, after Lin Weidong explained the reason to Bai Ling, Bai Ling was on high alert!
Sharing with Tianzao is one thing, but we can't let outsiders take it away!
"Should I come to your workplace to see you tomorrow?"
Lin Weidong nodded; that was exactly what he meant.
Bai Ling maintained a serious demeanor as she arranged a meeting time with Lin Weidong.
But she was secretly overjoyed and even grateful to the women in Lin Weidong's workplace.
She had been looking forward to married life for a long time.
But this can't be rushed.
After all, in the eyes of outsiders, even now, the two still only have a pure revolutionary relationship and need to get to know each other.
Little did they know, the two had already consummated their relationship multiple times...
At the dormitory entrance.
Bai Ling, exhausted from dealing with her gossipy colleagues, watched Lin Weidong leave.
Thinking to myself.
This dormitory is still not convenient enough. I need to apply for a single room as soon as possible. I wonder when I'll be able to get promoted.
Lin Weidong also felt it wasn't convenient enough, but his information network was wider than Bai Ling's, and he had already arranged for Cui Bashan to take action.
It can be done in one or two weeks.
The reason he was in such a hurry to leave was that a good show was about to take place in the courtyard.
In the courtyard house.
When Yi Zhonghai returned home from get off work and heard the rumors, he felt that God had truly been kind to him!
He'd only had a few days of peace and quiet, and now he's the center of attention again?
Is there no justice left in this world?
With Gao Cuilan's intermittent, weak sobs ringing in his ears, Yi Zhonghai felt extremely nauseous and couldn't even eat.
"Alright, can you stop crying? Don't you know why you were in the house watching when we borrowed grain yesterday? What are you doing making a scene?"
