Life in siheyuan era

Just as Zhou Zhiyuan and Zhang Yong walked into the street office, Zhao Xia ran out of the room and shouted, "Zhou Zhiyuan, phone call!"

Through Zhao Xia's description, Zhou Zhiyuan learned that a comrade surnamed Zhang had called, asking him to call back immediately.

He knew who it was, dialed the phone number, and heard a low voice say, "That chief returned to Beijing last night. You need to be prepared. Is there anything you need?"

Since Zhang Limin took the initiative to say this, he didn't stand on ceremony, "Lend me the car."

"State your reason."

Zhou Zhiyuan glanced around, Zhang Yong, Zhao Xia, and Geng Qiulian were all looking at him.

So he withdrew his gaze and said in a low voice, "Big brother, my brother needs the car tomorrow, and I have a lot to do, so I can only borrow your car."

"Besides, your car's license plate number is auspicious, representing good luck, and things will go smoothly."

Hearing the reason, Zhang Limin laughed and replied, "I know what you're up to as soon as you bend over. Just say you want to haul something. My car won't bring you good luck. In that lady's eyes, I'm just a small ant."

Zhang Limin spoke realistically, and Zhou Zhiyuan sighed and replied, "If you don't want to lend it, then don't. There's no need to scare people."

"Who said I wouldn't lend it? Remind you to prepare carefully, come and pick up the car at seven o'clock tonight."

"Big brother is still the most righteous."

"Don't flatter me, stay in touch at any time, end of call."

After the two finished their call, Zhou Zhiyuan glanced at Zhang Yong and said casually, "Don't ask." After speaking, he walked outside.

"Didn't want to ask." Zhang Yong shouted behind him, then secretly got angry, Zhou Zhiyuan was hiding something from him.

"Who is this big brother?" As Zhang Yong pondered this question, Zhou Zhiyuan walked into the Urban Management Section.

Seeing him come in, Han Xue immediately said, "He Yushui is anxious to find you, return her call."

So Zhou Zhiyuan remembered that he hadn't spoken to He Yushui yet, and returned to the Comprehensive Office to dial a number. As soon as the call connected, he said, "I'm looking for Comrade He Yushui."

Then he heard a shout from the other side, "You big liar!"

The voice was so loud that Zhang Yong heard it and looked up at him in surprise.

Zhao Xia jumped up from her seat and ran over to Zhou Zhiyuan, leaning her ear to listen.

Geng Qiulian put down the half-knitted sweater, her eyes locked on him.

Zhou Zhiyuan said sternly, "Comrade He Yushui, I am Comrade Zhou Zhiyuan. Whose call are you waiting for?"

"Oh right, I'm formally notifying you that the other side has already made arrangements. Tomorrow before four o'clock in the afternoon, you wait for me downstairs in that building?"

These words calmed He Yushui down, and she replied unhappily, "I'm off tomorrow, can't you come back tonight and leave with me tomorrow?"

"I want to, but I can't!" Zhou Zhiyuan sighed.

Then he said, "Comrade He Yushui, let me remind you, be sure to stay away from liars, don't answer his calls, if he looks for you again, call the police. I believe the police comrades will definitely bring the liar to justice."

He clarified that the liar had nothing to do with him, and then asked, "Do you have anything else? If not, I'm hanging up."

Without waiting for He Yushui to reply, Zhou Zhiyuan hung up the phone, sighed, and said, "As a neighbor, I can only remind her of this. There's nothing I can do if she gets cheated again."

After saying this, he left. Zhao Xia looked at his back suspiciously, and turned to Zhang Yong and asked, "It has nothing to do with him?"

"Zhiyuan never lies." Zhang Yong said readily, but a cloud of doubt rose in his heart.

Now he had to think about another question, "What did Zhiyuan lie to He Yushui about?"

At this time, Zhou Zhiyuan, who walked into the Urban Management Section, said to Han Xue, "Comrade He Yushui has encountered a liar, you have to help her."

Zhou Zhiyuan took the initiative to express his concern for He Yushui, and Han Xue replied in a deep voice, "I must bring that liar to justice."

"You're loyal enough."

Zhou Zhiyuan praised, and then saw Zhao Xia running in, shouting unhappily, "Zhou Zhiyuan, phone call!"

This time it was Shen Lanbo's call, and his voice was extremely serious, "That person came back last night. Tonight, you must go to the hospital to pick up Lanyin, have dinner together, go to the movies together. I'll pick up the car tonight, and I'll be responsible for staking out."

"No..." Zhou Zhiyuan replied firmly, "Tonight is Saturday."

He encountered the black cat last Saturday, and regarded tonight as the focus.

Shen Lanbo understood what he meant and said in a deep voice, "There are priorities. If you and Lanyin go out and I stake out, we can take care of both sides. Stop talking nonsense, it's settled, end of call."

Listening to the dial tone, Zhou Zhiyuan knew there was no room for negotiation.

After thinking for a while, he reached out and dialed a phone number, and hearing the voice from the other side, Zhou Zhiyuan said in a low voice, "Big brother, I have something to do tonight, Second brother will pick up the car."

Zhang Limin laughed and said, "Understood, you go and be busy, your second brother and I will take a trip."

Hearing that Zhang Limin was going in person, Zhou Zhiyuan felt a little relieved, put down the phone and was about to walk outside when Zhao Xia's voice came, "Zhou Zhiyuan, sit here for a while, don't make me run again."

Zhou Zhiyuan nodded and sat on the chair next to Zhang Yong, asking in a low voice, "Are you going out tonight?"

This topic aroused Zhao Xia's interest, and she stood aside and shouted, "Comrade Zhang Yong, you must confess truthfully."

"You two can't represent the organization." Zhang Yong replied confidently.

Hearing him refuse to answer, Zhao Xia was about to argue, but heard Zhou Zhiyuan turn to Geng Qiulian and ask, "Sister Geng, are you knitting two sweaters of the same color?"

"No..." Geng Qiulian replied helplessly, "This sweater is knitted too tight, so I'm unraveling it to re-knit."

"Sister Geng is striving for perfection."

Zhou Zhiyuan praised, but heard Zhao Xia shout, "Zhou Zhiyuan, stop flattering, your target is shifting too fast."

Hearing her dissatisfied shout, Zhou Zhiyuan immediately turned to Zhang Yong and asked, "Which movie theater are you going to?"

Zhang Yong replied with habitual thinking, "You two can't represent the organization."

"I don't represent the organization."

Then Zhao Xia shouted happily, "We two don't represent the organization, Comrade Zhang Yong, confess truthfully!"

Zhang Yong immediately replied, "Since you two don't represent the organization, I refuse to answer."

He still refused, Zhao Xia looked at Zhou Zhiyuan, but saw Zhou Zhiyuan get up and walk outside, Zhao Xia shouted, "Zhou Zhiyuan, do you still have any principles?"

Zhou Zhiyuan walked into the Urban Management Section with a chuckle, at this time he had already made up his mind.

But as soon as he entered the room, he heard Han Xue say seriously, "Comrade Zhou Zhiyuan, let's have a good talk."

Zhou Zhiyuan immediately replied, "Where's Sister Wan?"

"She and Wang Dagang went to urge those illegal households to demolish their own buildings. They won't be back after completing the task."

"Deputy Director Li went to the district for a meeting, Director Qiu is in the office, Secretary Zou is also in the office, I don't know about Deputy Director Nie, the others have nothing to do with you."

Han Xue answered all the targets together, leaving him no one to ask.

But he still had a question, "Are you going out tonight?"

"What's it to you?" Han Xue said angrily.

"Caring about the leader."

"I don't need your concern."

"Wanting to improve, must care, Section Chief Han, are you going out tonight?"

Zhou Zhiyuan continued to ask annoying questions, but Han Xue said in a deep voice, "Do you want to anger me so that I won't talk to you?"

"I don't mean that, I'm worried that Section Chief Han will get caught in the rain."

This made people suspicious, Han Xue should have asked the question, "How do you know it will rain tonight?"

At this time, he would say, "I calculated it with my fingers..." Then the topic would turn to feudal superstition.

He had used this routine before, and it worked quite well.

But the reality was not as he wished, Han Xue actually asked, "What task did you receive in the district?"

Hearing her ask about this, Zhou Zhiyuan paused slightly, Han Xue didn't play according to the routine.

But Han Xue still looked at him seriously, she had her own methods, she couldn't ask about things she was really interested in at this time. To deal with Zhou Zhiyuan, she had to use tactics. When Zhou Zhiyuan was used to answering her questions, he would inadvertently say the news she wanted to know.

It was necessary for her to do this, Zhou Zhiyuan was her suspect.

He was too suspicious. It took him more than twenty minutes to carry her upstairs, Hu Biao was monitored by the public security after being beaten, he was in conflict with Shen Lanyin and suddenly became a couple, one thing after another, Han Xue couldn't help but suspect.

Especially Shen Lanyin's words and deeds when she came to the street office made her even more suspicious. With Shen Lanyin's culture and identity, she shouldn't have come in and questioned her. This move didn't look like jealousy, but more like revenge on Zhou Zhiyuan.

With these doubts added together, Han Xue regarded Zhou Zhiyuan as the main suspect, and strongly agreed with He Yushui's liar theory.

She had a way to deal with liars, and cultivating habitual thinking was a scientific theory.
