Life in siheyuan era

Today at noon, only Han Xue and Wan Chunfang had lunch together in the Urban Management Office.

Wan Chunfang took a bite of her mixed wheat and corn bun and turned to look at Han Xue, who was eating vegetable rice. Zhou Zhiyuan had kept his word.

Seeing her slowly put a spoonful of vegetable rice into her mouth and chew it slowly, Wan Chunfang smiled and said, "Zhiyuan's vegetable rice is indeed delicious."

Han Xue replied, "I'll give you half."

Wan Chunfang smiled and said, "Zhiyuan brought it for you. I ate that box yesterday. Although it was a bit cold, the taste was indeed good."

Yesterday at noon, Han Xue didn't eat the box of vegetable rice. Wan Chunfang felt hungry after returning, heated it on the water heater for a while, took it back, and ate it, praising it endlessly.

Han Xue advised Wan Chunfang, who had a habit of drinking without eating rice, "You should eat some rice when drinking, otherwise your stomach won't be able to handle it."

"I'm used to it..." Wan Chunfang replied, then changed the subject, "Is Doctor Shen beautiful?"

"Quite beautiful..." Han Xue admitted, then said, "But she's quite cold. Zhou Zhiyuan will suffer if he's dating her."

Han Xue was not optimistic about the future of Zhou Zhiyuan and Shen Lanyin, and Zhou Zhiyuan himself was not optimistic either. Looking at the eight silver needles on his fingers, he said indifferently, "You decide what to do in the future, and I will execute it."

These words aroused Shen Lanyin's resentment, and she asked coldly, "I have experience?"

"Okay..." Zhou Zhiyuan replied helplessly, "I'll decide, you execute."

"You have experience?"

Shen Lanyin's reply made Zhou Zhiyuan angry, "You're still arguing at this time. I apologized to you in public for the sake of the overall situation. What else do you want?"

"Nothing..." Shen Lanyin said coldly, "You do yours, I do mine."

"Okay..." Zhou Zhiyuan said helplessly again, "I have a lot of things to do. I'll try to come and see you once or twice a week, just cooperate well."

"Also, let me remind you, try to be more secretive when dealing with Hao Zhiwen, don't let people find out."

"What do you mean?"

"Just a reminder, I won't say it again if you don't like to hear it."

Zhou Zhiyuan realized that he had said too much again.

But Shen Lanyin wanted to say, "Hao Zhiwen and I are just colleagues."

"I said I wouldn't mention this matter again."

"Okay, if you don't mention it, I will. You need to be careful and keep a certain distance from Han Xue."

Hearing her mention Han Xue, Zhou Zhiyuan chuckled and then asked in a low voice, "Finding a reason for yourself?"

"Finding what reason?" Shen Lanyin said angrily.

Zhou Zhiyuan chuckled again and replied in a low voice, "Shen Lanyin, I am responsible for myself and won't let people find fault, but I never thought of restraining you. You don't need to find a reason."

The young woman brought the lunch, put down the two paper bags, glanced at Zhou Zhiyuan again, turned around and went out, closing the door behind her.

Shen Lanyin stared at Zhou Zhiyuan and said in a low voice, "You have very sensitive ears."

"Remember..." Zhou Zhiyuan said slowly, "Absolutely don't talk about this in the class, the first priority is to keep it secret for success."

"Got it."

Shen Lanyin replied impatiently, then asked, "What did you do to Hao Zhiwen yesterday?"

"What did he say?"

"He said your eyes were full of murderous intent and you must have killed someone."

"Heh..." Zhou Zhiyuan chuckled and replied indifferently, "I asked him to attack and knock me down to win your heart, but he didn't dare. He just thought it was murderous intent after I gave him a cold look?"

"Okay, you should remove the needles, I have to go and deal with something immediately."

Zhou Zhiyuan was about to leave, and Shen Lanyin was slightly startled and said, "Eat the meat pie before you leave."

"I suddenly remembered something urgent that I must deal with immediately."

He thought of Mo Youji. The master didn't know that his disciple was dating, which was a huge loophole.

Seeing Shen Lanyin remove the silver needles, Zhou Zhiyuan immediately got up and said, "Think about the possible loopholes and fill them immediately. Now is not the time to hesitate. If Hao Zhiwen really loves you, he will wait for you for a while. This time is enough."

After saying these words, Zhou Zhiyuan strode out.

Shen Lanyin stared blankly at his back, suddenly realizing that he had already recognized a fact, that they were just acting.

But this play was not easy to act, and Zhou Zhiyuan was very clear about this. He was looking for Mo Youji not only to plug the loophole, but also to find a solution from him.

But Mo Youji also had no solution. After pondering for a while, he said in a low voice, "This matter is difficult to end. Just let it be and don't think so much."

"Yes." Zhou Zhiyuan said helplessly, "The initiative in this matter is not in my hands, or even in the Shen family's hands. If that Madam catches a loophole, a slanderous remark may put Uncle Shen in a difficult situation."

"I can only do my own thing. As for what Shen Lanyin does, I can't control it. I'm just a small commoner and I'm not afraid of their retaliation. At worst, I won't be an official, and I don't want to be an official anyway."

This attitude was supported by Mo Youji, "Having this idea will ensure that your mind is clear and peaceful. You are loyal and do your best, don't think so much."

Mo Youji said this sentence again, "Don't think so much."

Zhou Zhiyuan smiled and said, "I have a big heart." Then he said goodbye and left.

He had gained a firm foothold in the Street Office. A "Comprehensive Rectification Plan" was praised by Qiu Jianye and Zou Hong, and it was reported to the district government without changing a word.

At this time, he had to maintain a good working attitude. This was a critical period for winning the approval of leaders and colleagues. He had too many things to do, and only when everyone completely recognized him could they provide convenience in some of his activities.

With this understanding, Zhou Zhiyuan pedaled his bicycle quickly on the road.

At this moment, Shen Lanyin also made a decision and said lightly to Hao Zhiwen, "Zhou Zhiyuan is my boyfriend, and you are my senior and colleague."

After saying this, she walked inside, leaving Hao Zhiwen, who was distraught, to think for a long time and come to the conclusion, "Lanyin has succumbed, but she is not willing."

But this conclusion made him frustrated. Shen Lanyin's mother was Vice President Chen. If he insisted on going against the trend, causing Vice President Chen to be unhappy, it would directly affect his future.

He wanted to be an attending physician, a chief physician, or even a vice president or president. Getting Shen Lanyin and having a bright future was his greatest success in life.

But Zhou Zhiyuan's appearance made his efforts fall short. He didn't understand what Shen Lanyin's parents saw in Zhou Zhiyuan. He was just an ordinary veteran, and his right hand was still disabled. How was he better than him?

Hao Zhiwen didn't understand and walked downstairs sadly. He didn't even bother to greet Liu Junling when he saw her going upstairs.

When Liu Junling saw him like this, she immediately guessed the reason. She came to find Shen Lanyin because she had heard some bad rumors.

What happened last night spread out, and after a night of brewing, two versions appeared this morning.

Liu Junling, who had just come out of the operating room, immediately encountered curious questioners, "Is Shen Lanyin having a quarrel with her boyfriend? Or is she two-timing?"

The questioner knew that Liu Junling and Shen Lanyin had a very good relationship.

But Liu Junling didn't know the specific reason either, so she could only say with certainty, "They're just having a small quarrel." Then she hurried to find Shen Lanyin to report the situation.

But Shen Lanyin didn't know about the two versions. Listening to Liu Junling's narration, she knew how decisive Shen Jue was in handling things.

Last night, Shen Jue learned the news after returning home and immediately asked Shen Lanbo to call Zhou Zhiyuan, be sure to resolve the issue that night.

Shen Lanbo sat on the sofa for more than three hours waiting for Zhou Zhiyuan's reply.

That phone call last night resolved today's crisis. Zhou Zhiyuan's public apology made the other version disappear as soon as it spread. They were just having a small quarrel.

Listening to her explanation, Liu Junling said in a low voice, "He seems to be a bit slow in terms of relationships between men and women, and he has a tough personality. It's normal to have a small quarrel. You should pay attention to the relationship between you and Hao Zhiwen, keeping a distance can eliminate rumors."

"I've made it clear to Hao Zhiwen..." Shen Lanyin said indifferently, "He's just my senior and colleague."

She felt that Zhou Zhiyuan had said something very right, "If he loves you, he will wait for you for a while. This time is enough."
