Siheyuan: Start with a big car

Since Fan Jinyou was dismissed and Xu Huizhen regained control of the tavern, he has strictly controlled the quality of drinks.

And strictly require the waiters in the tavern not to beat customers for no reason.

With its mellow old wine and high-quality service attitude, the tavern quickly became the first choice for drinkers in the capital.

Rich regular customers can order a few jugs of old wine in the private room upstairs, ask the waiter to deliver some good dishes, and have a good time with friends.

Those who are reluctant to spend money can also ask the waiter to deliver old wine, squat in the lobby, and have a delicious meal with peanuts.

This is not.

Before the sun went down, there were always guests in front of the tavern.

Li Weidong rode his bicycle and came to the tavern in the faint sunset.

The entrance of the tavern is simple and unsophisticated, and a huge plaque reads "Under the Zhengyang Gate", which makes people instantly feel the unique charm of the old capital.

The proprietress Xu Huizhen stood in front of the door to welcome the guests. The fiery red sunset fell on her fair cheeks, adding a bit of charm to her.

Seeing Li Weidong approaching, Xu Huizhen's eyes lit up, and he greeted the waiter inside: "Xiao Liu, help me welcome the guests."

When Xiao Liu came out and saw that it was Li Weidong, he immediately smiled and said, "Sister Xu, go, I'm here!"

Xiao Liu is also an old employee of the tavern.

When Fan Jinyou was domineering in the tavern and turned the tavern into a mess, it was Li Weidong who came forward to drive Fan Jinyou away. The waiters all had a good impression of Li Weidong.

It's just that Li Weidong is already married, otherwise he would really be a good match with the proprietress Fan Jinyou.

Seeing that there were many people outside, Xu Huizhen dragged Li Weidong into the warehouse behind the tavern.

After closing the door and turning on the light, Xu Hui really couldn't help but threw herself into Li Weidong's arms.

"Brother Weidong, where have you been these days? Why have you been avoiding me? You don't know how much I miss you."

Li Weidong stroked Xu Huizhen's beautiful hair and laughed dumbfoundedly.

The last time he came to the tavern was just over a month ago.

How long has it been? Xu Hui really couldn't help it.

A woman is like a bundle of firewood, once it is lit, it can never be extinguished.

"I've been busy these days. As you know, the poverty alleviation workshop has expanded again, and I have encountered some troubles."

Li Weidong went up and down his hands.

"Trouble?" Xu Huizhen raised her head, pressed Li Weidong's chin, and whispered, "Can you tell me what trouble you encountered?"

The tavern is now a famous tavern in the capital. Sometimes it is hard to find one, and it is the first choice for young people to hold wedding banquets. As many prestigious guests want to hold wedding banquets in the tavern, they often ask Xu Huizhen.

Xu Huizhen is very experienced in dealing with people, and quickly turned these needs into resources, and established a good relationship with those people. It can be said that relying on the tavern, Xu Huizhen has established a huge network of relationships in the capital.

Of course, Xu Hui really knows that favors should be used less and less, and she will not use the network at will. However, when she heard that Li Weidong was in trouble, she immediately expressed her willingness to help without hesitation.

But, is Li Weidong the kind of person who eats soft food?

"It's okay, it's settled."

"Since it's all right, you said you'll come over in a few days?" Xu Huizhen slapped him in the face.

Li Weidong chuckled: "Two weeks, how about it?"

"No, two weeks is too long, I can't help it." Xu Huizhen tilted his head and thought for a while, then nodded and said: "One week, from now on you will meet me in the bistro once a week. Otherwise, I won't let you go out today."

"Good, good." Facing the powerful Xu Huizhen of the women's middle school, Li Weidong could only raise his hand and surrender.

"Calculate from now on."

Xu Hui blushed when she said this, and stretched out her hand to extinguish the light cord.

It was dark inside the warehouse.

After half an hour.

Li Weidong walked out of the warehouse refreshed, and was about to go upstairs when he stopped suddenly.

He turned to look at Xu Huizhen: "Is there a gay man named Liu Guangqi who booked a private room in your tavern?"

"Is Liu Guangqi thin and tall? When he talks, he has an arrogant attitude and doesn't like to look people straight."

"Yes, it's him."

"So he invited you, no wonder he ordered so many dishes." Xu Huizhen pursed her lips and said with a smile, "If I knew he was your friend, I would have given him a [-]% discount."

As the manager of the tavern, Xu Huizhen has the authority to discount.

"It's okay, I'm not familiar with him." Of course Li Weidong would not save money for Liu Haizhong.

Besides, if Liu Guangqi invites you to dinner, he must have something to ask for.

"That's good." Xu Huizhen was worried that Li Weidong would get angry because he offended Liu Guangqi, so he immediately felt relieved when he heard this.

She pointed to the stairs and said, "The private room is at the end of the second floor. It's quiet there, but you should drink less. Drinking too much is bad for your health."

"All right, all right, really long-winded."

"It's just long-winded."

Li Weidong shook his head helplessly, made a gesture of assurance to Xu Huizhen, and strode up to the second floor.

In the private room on the second floor at this time.

Liu Guangqi looked at a table of dishes with a sad expression.

This table of dishes cost him 50 yuan, plus two jugs of old wine, it cost him a total of 53 yuan.

This is fully equivalent to his two months' salary.

The money is spent, and as long as things get done, that's all right.

The point is that it was almost seven o'clock in the evening, and Li Weidong hadn't been seen yet.

If Li Weidong was really busy and didn't come to the banquet, then he would be caught blind.

Beside, Huang Chunlan was also a little anxious.

In order to face Li Weidong in the best condition, she used all the creams she bought at a big price, sprinkled powder on her body, smeared tung oil on her hair, and put on the most beautiful clothes.

It can be said that Huang Chunlan has never been so active in her life.

but.

But the master is nowhere to be seen.

Huang Chunlan frowned, and looked up at Liu Guangqi: "Guangqi, you are not fooling me, are you?"

"How is that possible! My aunt, you still don't know me, Liu Guangqi." Liu Guangqi patted his chest and said, "You let me go east, I dare not go west, how dare I lie to you!"

"Then why hasn't Li Weidong come yet?"

"But, it may be that he was busy with something and wasted time." Liu Guangqi explained: "He is a big director, how can he be as idle as small workers like us, and can take care of everything every day."

While talking, the door of the private room was pushed open.

Liu Guangqi stood up suddenly, his eyes fixed on the door, and when he saw that it was Li Weidong who came in, Liu Guangqi breathed a sigh of relief.

"Brother Weidong, you are here."

It stands to reason that Liu Guangqi is more than a year older than Li Weidong, so he should call Li Weidong his younger brother, but now that he is the chief director, he still has things to ask him, so this "brother" cannot be called out no matter what.

Li Weidong laughed, walked over with strides, and shook hands with Liu Guangqi: "Guangqi, don't tell me when you came back, so I can clean up the dust for you."

As soon as these words came out, Liu Guangqi was so moved that he almost shed tears.

He and Li Weidong are indeed old friends who have played since they were young. But when they were young, because Li Weidong's father was away from home all year round with a big car, he was often bullied by other children in the courtyard.

And Liu Guangqi is the eldest son of the second uncle of the Siheyuan. Relying on Liu Haizhong's power, coupled with his older age, he naturally became the leader of the children.

Instead of stopping the children from bullying Liu Weidong, he took the lead in bullying Li Weidong, and he was the best at putting the blame on Li Weidong after doing bad things.

I remember one time, when Liu Guangqi made trouble, he beat the bricks in the backyard crazily and accidentally broke the glass of the deaf old lady's house.

At that time, the deaf old lady was still very young and had a very violent temper. If anyone dared to disturb her, she would be beaten a few times, and if it was serious, she would even call her parents.

Facing the aggressive deaf old lady, Liu Guangqi pushed Li Weidong out calmly, claiming that Li Weidong broke the glass.

Li Weidong definitely denied it on the spot, but with Jia Dongxu and Xu Damao testifying beside him, the deaf old lady didn't believe Li Weidong's words. Glass money.

At that time, domestic materials were scarce, and there were not many glass factories in the entire capital, and a piece of glass cost two yuan.

Father Li gritted his teeth and paid the deaf old lady the money, but he didn't scold Li Weidong, he believed Li Weidong's words.

There are many more things like this, and Li Weidong gradually alienated Liu Guangqi.

Now that Li Weidong doesn't care about what happened back then, how can Liu Guangqi be unhappy!
"Brother Weidong, you are worthy of doing great things. Your lord has a lot!"

"Oh, Guangqi, we all belong to the same compound, so we must help each other."

The two chatted for a while, and Li Weidong was about to sit down.

Huang Chunlan stood up and stretched out her hand towards Li Weidong: "Director Li, I am Huang Chunlan. This is the first time we meet. Please give me your advice."

Teach this girl how to act like a devil.

However, Li Weidong had to praise Liu Guangqi's good fortune.

Although Huang Chunlan is not as beautiful as Qin Huairu, not as round as Qin Jingru, and not as feminine as Xu Hui, she is full of wildness.

A pair of big black eyes are full of rebelliousness, and the two long legs are round and straight, full of wild beauty.

When talking, his head bobs up and down, and the two ponytails on the back of his head shake up and down, looking like a little wild horse on the prairie.

Liu Guangqi did not expect that Huang Chunlan would take the initiative to shake hands with Li Weidong.

Although shaking hands is the most common etiquette in this day and age, men and women are different after all, especially since Huang Chunlan is still the eldest daughter of Huanghua. When she sees a man like Li Weidong, she should be more reserved.

In fact, Huang Chunlan had always been very reserved. She had been talking to Liu Guangqi for two years, but she didn't let Liu Guangqi touch her little hand.

And now.
Liu Guangqi's gaze fell on Li Weidong involuntarily.

Li Weidong looked at the pink and white little hand, chuckled, stood up and held it gently.

"This comrade, who are you?"

"Ah! I forgot to introduce myself." Huang Chunlan held Li Weidong's hand tightly, and said with a smile, "My name is Huang Chunlan, and I am the propaganda officer of the Baoding No. [-] Cotton Mill Propaganda Department. He is good at dancing and enjoys listening to music.”

Seeing that Huang Chunlan didn't let go, Liu Guangqi became a little anxious, stood up and interrupted them: "Brother Weidong, Huang Chunlan is my partner."

"Who is it? We're not married yet!" Huang Chunlan glared at him angrily.

"Sooner or later," Liu Guangqi smirked.

Li Weidong finally understood this meeting, and said with a smile: "It turns out that they are younger brothers and sisters, please sit down."

He felt Huang Chunlan scratch his palm, smiled, let go of his hand and sat down.

Today's meal, you can't say that you can eat meat.

From the corner of Li Weidong's eyes, he saw Huang Chunlan secretly looking at him, and he had a vague guess in his heart.

"Come on, Brother Wei Dong, we two brothers haven't seen each other for a while, I'm going to toast you a glass of wine today."

Liu Guangqi was so excited at this moment, he didn't notice Huang Chunlan's little gesture at all, and picked up the wine glass.

"Oh, how stupid you are, it's a toast, why don't you pour wine for Director Li!" Huang Chunlan stood up and walked gracefully to Li Weidong's side, picked up the jug and poured wine for him.

When pouring the wine, she deliberately turned her body sideways, bent her whole body in front of Li Weidong, her hair gently touched the tip of Li Weidong's pen, and Li Weidong felt a scent of fragrance.

This woman is really bold enough.

Li Weidong coughed twice, picked up the wine glass, looked at Liu Guangqi and said, "Brother Guangqi, we are good friends, I should have toasted you with this glass of wine."

"Come here."

The two drank their glasses of wine.

Huang Chunlan poured wine for Li Weidong at the right time, and then picked up a glass herself.

"Director Li, I heard that you are the most famous talented person in the courtyard. When I saw you today, you are really extraordinary. Come, I will toast you too."

"Siblings are really bold."

After two glasses of wine, the atmosphere on the wine table became lively.

Seeing that the time had come, Liu Guangqi put down his wine glass and said falteringly.

"Brother Weidong, to be honest, I'm going to invite you to drink today. I need your help with something."

What does it mean that nothing will happen? Liu Guangqi is just like this.

Even if you ask someone for help, you should speak slowly at the wine table instead of saying so directly.

Li Weidong chuckled and said, "We are brothers. If you have anything to say, just tell me. If you can help, I will never refuse."

This sentence is also particular. If you can help, you will definitely help. If you can’t, then I’m sorry, and don’t blame me.

Liu Guangqi didn't seem to notice it, and said with a smile: "The thing is like this. Comrade Huang Chunlan and I are going to get married soon, but Chunlan's current job is in Baoding. I want to ask you to help me transfer Chunlan to the capital."

As soon as these words came out, Li Weidong frowned.

"Guangqi, you also know that there are very few jobs in our capital, and many young people can't find jobs."

"Besides, to transfer people from Baoding, you need to go through seven or eight departments, which is very difficult."

Liu Guangqi knew that Li Weidong did not exaggerate the difficulty of things.

The capital is a forty-nine city, and many people want to settle in the capital. (end of this chapter)
