Siheyuan: Relieve stress and relieve worries

Chapter 609 Testing each other
When he arrived at the gate of the steel rolling mill again, there were two guards standing in front of the gate, holding guns on both sides of the gate. Both of them were leaning against the doorpost, each smoking a cigarette. Wang Wenyuan shook his head and went to the guard room.

The old man was very impressed with the newly appointed young section chief and asked with a smile, "Why are you officially at work today? Which section are you from?"

Wang Wenyuan handed over a cigarette and said, "It should be the Public Security Department. By the way, what's your name, old man?"

The old man said bluntly: "Don't be polite to me. My last name is Yang, so you can call me Old Yang. I was injured after the liberation and can't play. The higher-ups gave me a job as a gatekeeper to take care of me. From now on, we'll be sharing the same spoon."

Wang Wenyuan lit a cigarette for the old man, then lit one for himself, and asked, "What do you mean?"

The old man nodded at the two people standing guard at the door and said, "See those two people standing unequally and carelessly? They are from your Public Security Department."

Wang Wenyuan choked as soon as he took a puff. He coughed a few times. The old man lowered his voice and said, "Boy, don't show up at this time. The factory is in a turbulent time. By the way, what's your name?"

Wang Wenyuan said: "You can just call me Yuanzi. You are my senior. If you have any questions, just call me. I know what you mean. Don't worry."

As the two were talking, they saw a jeep driving in. The two people standing at the door hurriedly put out their cigarettes and stood still. When the jeep passed the gate, the two people saluted in a formal manner. Old Yang said, "Okay, your two security leaders are here. That car is them."

Wang Wenyuan put out his cigarette, then calmly walked out of the guard room and rode his bike into the yard.

"report!"

"Please come in!"

Wang Wenyuan pushed the door open and walked in. He saw Director Xing still holding a cigarette and tilting his head to look at the documents. Wang Wenyuan said, "Director Xing, Wang Wenyuan is officially reporting to you today!"

"Don't do those useless things. Sit down. Do you have anything to say? If not, I'll ask someone to take you to your office." Director Xing said without even raising his head.

Wang Wenyuan didn't sit down, and said, "What did I say? The weather was good?"

"Okay, go ahead. Turn left and go to the second room to find Xiao Zhang. Ask him to take you to your office." Director Xing had no idea what to do with Wang Wenyuan now. He was young, but very slippery. Director Xing didn't want to waste time talking to him.

Wang Wenyuan turned around and left the room, and found a comrade named Xiao Zhang. Xiao Zhang was very enthusiastic. He was the youngest deputy section chief. There were five leaders above him, one director and four section chiefs, and three section chiefs had no control over him.

Not long after, Xiao Zhang, holding a cigarette in his mouth, brought Wang Wenyuan to the small red building of the security department on the west side. The building had three floors and was a Soviet-style building. Xiao Zhang went up to the innermost office on the second floor and knocked on the door, "Come in!"

When the door opened, there was a cloud of mist. Inside, at four desks, three grown men were smoking, drinking tea, and reading newspapers.

At the innermost desk sat a burly man with a square face who looked fierce. Xiao Zhang walked in and said, "Hey, Captain Zhang is here. Is Section Chief Niu here?"

The burly man put his feet down from the desk and said, "I don't know. He should have come yesterday, but I don't know about him today."

"Come, let me introduce you. This is the new deputy chief of the Public Security Section, Wang Wenyuan." As soon as Xiao Zhang finished speaking, three people in the office stood up. Wang Wenyuan was not afraid. He walked in and looked at these three people who were taller than him.

Xiao Zhang continued to introduce: "Deputy Section Chief Wang, this is Captain Zhang of Team One, this is Captain Liu of Team Two, and this is Captain Jin of Team Three. Your section chief is Niu Zhanyun. I don't know if Section Chief Niu is here today. If he is not, Captain Zhang will have to take you to familiarize yourself with the situation in the Public Security Department. Come on, I'll take you there." Wang Wenyuan nodded to the other three, but he could sense a hint of unfriendliness and even danger in their eyes.

Wang Wenyuan went to the office assigned to him, which was just opposite Chief Niu's office. There was a desk, an office chair, a filing cabinet, and nothing else in it. It was empty, giving Wang Wenyuan the feeling that this room was just put together temporarily. Wang Wenyuan didn't care. After Xiao Zhang left, Wang Wenyuan went to find Captain Zhang.

Captain Zhang was very enthusiastic. He took Wang Wenyuan around the factory. He really was walking around in circles, one circle after another. What he was talking about was just the surface of the public security department. Wang Wenyuan didn't care. When he was walking around for the fifth circle, Wang Wenyuan said he was tired and wanted to go back to rest. Captain Zhang said enthusiastically: "I'll have someone bring you some water later."

Wang Wenyuan was sitting in his office, smoking and thinking about the steel mill. Not long after, a young man in military uniform walked in carrying two thermos bottles, shouting "report" as he came in.

Wang Wenyuan looked up at him and said, "Put it there."

The man put down the thermos, turned around and left. As he left, his steps looked like he was escaping. Wang Wenyuan watched him with narrowed eyes.

At noon, Wang Wenyuan followed everyone to a nearby canteen for lunch. He had two steamed buns and a box of cabbage stew. The food was really not very good and had no taste at all. After returning to the office, Wang Wenyuan took out a book and a military teacup from the space warehouse, made himself a cup of tea, and stayed in the office without going anywhere.

The people from the Public Security Department outside were talking about Wang Wenyuan. What was Wang Wenyuan's hearing? He could hear anything within a thousand-meter radius, but he didn't care. Most of them said that he came here to gild his reputation and would probably have to leave after a few days.

When it was almost time to get off work, a man suddenly appeared at the door of Wang Wenyuan's office. This man was taller than Captain Zhang, estimated to be over 1.9 meters tall, with a full beard. He stood at the door for a few seconds and knocked. Wang Wenyuan's voice came from inside, "Come in!"

"Hello, Deputy Section Chief Wang, my name is Li Dabiao, you should know me." The man showed a simple smile.

Wang Wenyuan straightened himself and said with a smile, "Hello, I know. I heard from Lao Xu that there is only one chair in my room. Please take care of it."

Li Dabiao looked around and revealed an angry expression. Wang Wenyuan knew at a glance that he was a man of temperament. He knew that he was being treated coldly and unfairly. Li Dabiao said, "How about this, let's talk outside? My office is on the third floor."

Wang Wenyuan nodded, stood up and followed him out, but suddenly stopped after a few steps, turned around and picked up his teacup, then followed Li Dabiao out of his office. Li Dabiao smiled bitterly and took Wang Wenyuan to his office.

Li Dabiao's office is at the innermost part of the west side of the third floor, just opposite Director Xing's office. Director Xing has two offices, one in the same building as Director Lou, and there is also one here but he seldom comes.

Li Dabiao's office is three times the size of Wang Wenyuan's. It has a sofa, coffee table, tea set, bookcase, filing cabinet, and even a desk that is twice as big as Wang Wenyuan's. Li Dabiao motioned for Wang Wenyuan to sit down, and then handed him a cigar. Wang Wenyuan waved his hand and said, "I'm not used to this. I'll just smoke mine."

After that, he took out his cigarette and lighter and lit a cigarette. Li Dabiao lit a cigar, half leaned back in his office chair, looked at Wang Wenyuan and said, "I've known you for a long time. I've only met you once. I'm also a martial artist. I know that you and I are not on the same level, right, Taoist?"

Wang Wenyuan didn't raise his eyes, smoking and said, "I have seen you before, but you seemed to be Nan Batian's man at that time. You are lucky to be alive."

Li Dabiao was choked by the cigar, coughed a few times, and whispered: "How can you know a small person like me? I don't believe it."

"Master, I have a problem. I will remember those who oppose me for the rest of their lives after just one glance. You can't escape it either. However, it's a new society now, and you've got good times. Forget it, the past is the past, but..." Wang Wenyuan paused.

Li Dabiao's heart skipped a beat and he looked at Wang Wenyuan without blinking.
