Siheyuan: The Era of Struggle

Chapter 114 Supporters

Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill, Security Section Chief's Office.

After seeing off the reporter who was interviewing him, He Yuanchao, who was sitting behind his desk, had time to take out a cigarette from his pocket and light it.

After smoking a cigarette and putting the cigarette butt out in the ashtray, he finally let out a long breath.

Ever since he beat Sun Yaozu to death on Silly Zhu's wedding day, He Yuanchao has basically been restless in the past week.

I originally thought that as long as it was confirmed that the person beaten to death was Sun Yaozu, the rest would probably be fine.

But it turns out that He Yuanchao thought this matter was a bit simple.

Since it was confirmed that the deceased was Sun Yaozu, the days when he went to work with a cup of tea and a newspaper every day no longer existed.

In the past few days, He Yuanchao could be said to have been in dire straits, feeling pain and happiness at the same time.

Basically, people from relevant departments in the organization come to him every day to verify and understand the specific situation of the day.

Every time someone comes to see him, they will first say, "Section Chief He, don't worry, we are here just for procedural needs. I hope you don't have any psychological burden."

He had a huge psychological burden. It was just one thing. He said it over and over again every day. He Yuanchao felt like he was about to vomit.

I finally finished handling the organizational matters yesterday. Unexpectedly, shortly after I got to work this morning, people from the Kyoto Daily News came over again to join in the fun.

At first, He Yuanchao didn't want to talk to them. When he received a call from the security guard in the factory's guard room, saying that someone from the newspaper was coming to interview him, He Yuanchao didn't hesitate at all and told the guard directly. , and asked them to think of ways to help them keep people away. If that didn't work, just say that they had a mission and were not in the factory now.

Unexpectedly, the reporter who came was not only stubborn, but also very smart.

After hearing the obviously evasive words of the guards in the guard room, he did not bother with them and directly contacted the head of the steel rolling mill, Liang Weimin, using the phone number in the guard room.

How could Liang Weimin let go of such a good opportunity to promote the steel rolling mill and He Yuanchao.

With Secretary Liang's intervention, this matter suddenly became easy.

After putting down the reporter's phone, Liang Weimin called He Yuanchao's office without saying a word.

As soon as the phone was picked up, Liang Weimin said, "This is a task in the factory and must be completed," and then hung up the phone with a click.

He didn't care about the reporter's face, but he still had to take Secretary Liang's words seriously.

After putting down the phone, He Yuanchao, who had no other choice, could only ask the reporter to be sent to his office with a look of helplessness.

After cooperating with the reporters to take pictures and make in-depth inquiries, He Yuanchao finally sent the two satisfied reporters out of his office.

Jingle Bell……

Just when He Yuanchao finished smoking a cigarette and felt that the matter was finally over, the phone on the table rang.

"How come this trivial matter isn't over yet?"

This time, He Yuanchao, who didn't know if someone was coming to investigate him again or to verify the situation, murmured in his heart and picked up the phone on the table.

"Section Chief, please come to the security room at the door. Someone wants to see you."

As soon as the phone was placed to his ear, the anxious voice of the security guard came from inside.

Before He Yuanchao could ask what was going on, the call was hung up.

After putting down the phone, He Yuanchao frowned. Could something have happened?

Otherwise, the security personnel would not hang up on themselves for no reason.

Although at this time, no one dares to attack a factory guarded by security forces in broad daylight, but isn't there a precaution for everything?
The matter of Bai Liu and Sun Yaozu is right in front of us, and it is not unusual for a few people who have taken advantage of them to seek death.

Thinking of this, He Yuanchao stopped fussing, stood up and walked out in a hurry, while quickly taking out the gun from his waist and checking it.

But He Yuanchao, who wanted to find out the situation, rushed to the security room at the gate of the steel rolling mill. When he saw someone standing in front of a military jeep outside the gate, he was suddenly stunned. Why was he here?

When he came back to his senses and rubbed his eyes to confirm that he had seen the right person, the negative emotions that had arisen in his heart because of the incident with Sun Yaozu in the past few days suddenly disappeared without a trace.

"Chief, why are you here?"

He Yuanchao shouted excitedly and ran quickly towards the person standing in front of the jeep.

"What? Why are you working on one-third of an acre of land for aiding Korea, and you still don't allow me to come and walk around?"

Looking at He Yuanchao who excitedly ran up to him and saluted him, the middle-aged man wearing the May [-]th general's military uniform punched He Yuanchao's chest a few times with his fists and laughed loudly. smiled.

"Chief, that's not what I meant. I just wanted to ask you why you came to Kyoto?"

After hearing the chief's flattering words, He Yuanchao didn't take it to heart at all. After putting down his saluting hand, he hurriedly explained with a somewhat embarrassed look.

"Okay, don't explain. Don't I understand what your kid is thinking?"

After waving his hand to stop He Yuanchao who was about to speak, he said with a smile: "This is not the place to talk. I have come to your territory. You won't even care about a meal, right?"

"No way, I'm going to ask for leave right now."

After saying that, He Yuanchao didn't talk nonsense anymore. After looking at his commander who looked at him with a smile, he turned around and walked into the security room at the door.

"Secretary Liang, the head of my army is here to see me. Can you grant me a half-day leave?"

After picking up the phone on the table in the security room and connecting to Liang Weimin's office, He Yuanchao said a few polite words and explained the purpose of his call with a smile.

"Okay, since the leader of the army is here to see you, you have to keep him company. Let's do this. I will give you another day off tomorrow and you can entertain your leader.

Sun Yaozu's troubles have also annoyed you a lot these past two days, so you just want to take this opportunity to relax together and treat it as a benefit given to you by the factory. "

After hearing what He Yuanchao said, Liang Weimin, who was also a soldier, could understand this kind of comrades who depended on each other for life and death after coming off the battlefield. Without thinking, he agreed with a smile.

He Yuanchao, who was holding the phone, was very happy when he saw that Liang Weimin not only agreed to his request for leave, but also gave him an extra day. He smiled and said a few flattering words before hanging up the phone with a smile on his face. .

After telling the security personnel in the guard room to lock the door of his office after he left, He Yuanchao got into the chief's car and rushed to the Bianyifang Roast Duck Restaurant.

Speaking of Bianyifang, it is the oldest roast duck restaurant in Kyoto.

It is said that it was opened in the 14th year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty (1416), which has a history of 600 years ago.

When the original owner was in the army, he promised that when he had the opportunity, he would definitely treat the leader Chen Gang to eat the braised roast duck from Biianfang.This time when the chief came to see him, He Yuanchao didn't even think twice, and the place he chose to eat was Bianyifang Roast Duck Restaurant in Mishikou.

He Yuanchao and the old chief Chen Gang were chatting and laughing in the car for about half an hour. The driver drove them to the second floor of Mishi Hutong Biianfang.

"Chief, I have fulfilled the wish I made back then. You can't always use this matter to push me against you in the future."

As he opened the door and got out of the car, He Yuanchao said to the old leader Chen Gang with a smile.

"What? You feel bad after eating your kid's roast duck? Then a few years ago, when you ate my good wine and meat, who should I talk to?"

After hearing what He Yuanchao said, Chen Gang glared at him angrily, then pretended to be angry and said with a straight face.

"Hahaha……"

After saying this, both of them laughed at the same time.

While smiling, He Yuanchao closed the car door, and the two of them walked into the convenience store.

"Comrade driver, you are tired after driving all the way. Why don't you get out of the car and let's have something to eat together."

After taking two steps, He Yuanchao saw that the driver did not get out of the car, so he walked to the cab door of the jeep, handed a cigarette to the driver, and said with a smile.

"Thank you, comrade. I have some other things to do while the chief is having dinner, so I won't go on."

The driver took the cigarette and said politely to He Yuanchao with a smile.

"Okay, let's have some drinks together if we have the chance in the future."

Whether it was because the rules didn't allow it or the driver was really in trouble, after hearing his words, He Yuanchao didn't force himself anymore. After saying a polite word, he turned around and hurriedly chased his old leader Chen Gang.

"Yuanchao, what have you been doing? Why did he disappear this time? I thought you ran away because you didn't want to treat me to a duck."

Chen Gang, who was standing at the gate of Ziyi Fang, saw He Yuanchao hurriedly chasing him in, so he laughed and joked.

After hearing Chen Gang's words, He Yuanchao seemed to have returned to the days when he was a soldier and followed Chen Gang every day.

Without thinking, he pouted at the old chief Chen Gang and said, "Sir, who do you think I am?

After a meal of duck, can I run away?Okay, sir, let's stop standing in front of other people's houses and quickly find a place to sit down and eat duck. "

After hearing what He Yuanchao said, Chen Gang stopped joking about the boring gourd-like security guard he had been, and followed He Yuanchao into the bargain shop with a loud laugh.

As for what He Yuanchao was doing just now, he could naturally see it, but he didn't expect that the dull-tempered guard back then would actually become so active in his mind in the six months since he returned to the place.

Although service staff working in hotels in this era generally do not have a strong sense of service, and even beating and scolding guests often happen.

But when a soldier wearing a general's uniform came in, the service staff in the store were surprised.

Even the few customers who were eating duck in the store were a little curious and kept sneaking up on the two of them.

"Comrade, do you have a quieter private room here?"

Upon seeing this, He Yuanchao hurriedly followed the waitress who came to him with a smile on her face and asked about their intention.

"Yes, yes, please come with me. I'm telling you, if you want to eat roast duck, it has to be our Bianyang's braised roast duck."

Upon hearing that He Yuanchao and this comrade came to eat duck at their cheap shop, the waitress immediately became energetic.

While leading the two of them to the single room upstairs, he babbled and praised his own shop to the officer comrade who finally saw him.

"Boy, let's see what you want to eat?"

When they arrived in the single room and saw He Yuanchao and Chen Gang sitting down, the waitress said enthusiastically.

The two have been together for so many years and know each other well.

He Yuanchao was not polite and ordered a signature braised roast duck from the waiter, two of Chen Gang's favorite spicy stir-fries, four steamed buns, and a bottle of Maotai.

Then he turned his head and said to Chen Gang with a smile: "Chief, look, what else do you want to eat?
Don't be polite to me, let me tell you, there is no shop like this after passing this village. If you want to take my treat again in the future, you will have to wait until the end of the year. "

"You kid, just keep playing. Sooner or later, you'll beg me. Okay, let's do this for today. It'll be enough for both of us."

After listening to He Yuanchao's words, Chen Gang smiled and looked at He Yuanchao.

"Okay, then order this much first. If it's not enough, we'll ask for more. Comrade, please tell the back chef as soon as possible."

After automatically filtering out the old chief's threatening words, He Yuanchao turned to the waitress with a smile.

With the light of an old leader wearing a military uniform, He Yuanchao, the grandson, dared to urge the master chef of the kitchen today, which can be regarded as a tough move.

"Yuanchao, tell me what happened after you returned to your place. Also, let me see if you have any potential when you returned to your place with all your heart."

After the waiter took the money and left, the two of them lit up their cigarettes and took a puff. After the old leader Chen Gang blew out a puff of smoke, he began to talk seriously.

After all, there was a driver in the car just now, so it was not very convenient to say something.

Facing the old chief who had always taken special care of him, He Yuanchao did not hide anything. He told the old chief Chen Gang in detail everything that had happened since he left the army and returned to the local area.

"Well, how is the matter of Sun Yaozu being handled now? Has the organization reached a conclusion?"

While smoking a cigarette, Chen Gang listened to He Yuanchao talk about what he had experienced after changing jobs. After listening to his story, Chen Gang asked He Yuanchao seriously.

"According to Secretary Liang of our factory, this matter has basically been concluded now. Although I beat Sun Yaozu to death, there was a reason for it, so it can be regarded as a moderate contribution."

Looking at the old chief's concerned eyes, He Yuanchao told the news he had learned from Liang Weimin.

"That's good, but don't be careless. Go back and ask as soon as possible. If things happen again, tell me quickly. While I'm still in Kyoto, it's convenient to talk and do things. I can still help you if you have any trouble. I’ll cook it for you.”

"Thank you, chief, I will ask you as soon as possible when I get back."

"Go away, why are you being so polite to me here? I still say the same old thing before, when you return to your place, don't bully others, but you can't let others bully you either.

Don't be afraid if anything happens. When you tear it apart and don't understand it, don't you still have me?On the battlefield, I owed you more than one life. "
