Life in siheyuan era

Han Xue indeed had a background; her father, Han Yuanzhi, was the current Deputy Director of the Municipal Bureau of Commerce.

As a senior official, Han Yuanzhi's views were clear: "You are a cadre going to the grassroots for temporary assignment to gain experience. Performance comes first, connections come first. Mastering the art of leadership is key. Let Zhou Zhiyuan take the lead in specific tasks."

"Judging from Zhou Zhiyuan's performance, he is quite clever, but immature. You must seize on this point. He is a veteran transferred from the military, with a strong sense of organization and discipline. Soldiers all have drive. It's even better that he values loyalty. Seize on this point to win him over and use him for your benefit."

"You are only in the street office for half a year. Don't think about the relationship between Qiu Jianye and Zhou Zhiyuan, and even more so, don't get involved in the conflict between Zhou Zhiyuan and Li Huaiyi. Staying out of it and maintaining good relationships with all parties is the priority. If you have to face it, pretend to be confused and offend no one."

Han Yuanzhi gave a speech, pointing out the direction for Han Xue.

Han Xue's mother, Liu Lanying, was also a cadre, the principal of Yongning Elementary School, with the dual identity of intellectual and cadre.

She also had ideas. After Han Yuanzhi finished speaking, she immediately added: "Qiu Jianye is also a veteran transferred from the military. His style is a bit overbearing, but he is quite righteous and knows how to cultivate talent. Affirming your performance will be enough to pass the test."

Listening to her parents' guidance, Han Xue nodded in acceptance. After they finished speaking, she asked with concern, "Hu Biao is retaliating against Zhou Zhiyuan. What should I do afterward?"

Han Yuanzhi continued to instruct: "Your idea is right, but it requires a premise: pay close attention to the attitude of the street office leaders towards this matter. Remember, you are not doing things for Zhou Zhiyuan, but for the street office leaders, especially Qiu Jianye's attitude is very important."

"If Zhou Zhiyuan is injured and Qiu Jianye is furious, you should take the initiative to volunteer to coordinate with the police station. If Qiu Jianye remains calm, observe for a while. If you can't make up your mind, call Dad."

Han Yuanzhi's attitude left Han Xue temporarily confused. She asked doubtfully, "Didn't you tell me to win over Zhou Zhiyuan? Isn't this a better opportunity?"

"Silly girl..." Han Yuanzhi said dotingly, "Winning over Zhou Zhiyuan doesn't necessarily require taking revenge for him."

"If he's injured, you can buy him more things to visit him. You can also help him find a doctor. There are many ways to win people over. Don't win him over by offending others."

Han Yuanzhi was experienced, and Liu Lanying fully supported his views.

At this time, Shen Lanbo was also instructing Fang Nan: "Do you think Zhiyuan is very deep?"

Shen Lanbo suddenly asked this question. Fang Nan, who was sitting at the table peeling an apple, stopped and looked up at Shen Lanbo, who was leaning against the headboard.

Seeing him staring at her, Fang Nan pondered for a moment and softly replied, "The depth of his insight seems like someone in their fifties."

Fang Nan indirectly affirmed Shen Lanbo's question.

Shen Lanbo chuckled and said, "So you're guarding against him? Because his influence on me is great, but you don't know that he's also guarding against you."

This surprised Fang Nan. She put down the fruit knife in her hand and asked in astonishment, "What is he guarding against me for?"

"You're guarding against him, so he naturally has to guard against you. This is his consistent style. Putting on a profound attitude is a means of defense."

Shen Lanbo said something profound. Seeing Fang Nan's puzzled expression, he explained, "Zhiyuan's intuition is very sharp. His evaluation of you is that you are very smart. A smart woman showing vigilance towards him, his natural reaction is to be defensive."

"But I don't know what you're guarding him for? If it's my influence, you're wrong. We influence each other, not a one-sided influence."

"In doing things, I am good at planning, and he is good at making decisions. When facing enemies, he is good at attacking, and I am good at blocking the loopholes in the attack. We complement each other. The chief said that we are the best partners."

Shen Lanbo described the complementarity between the two. Fang Nan listened quietly.

Shen Lanbo continued, "This complementarity between us is not only in the military. It also applies to local areas. Just because we put down our knives and guns doesn't mean there are no enemies?"

He gave Fang Nan a precautionary shot.

Fang Nan frowned and said, "Now that we've transferred to the local area, let's not consider the issue of enemies. Wouldn't it be better for us to live peacefully?"

Fang Nan didn't like war. Shen Lanbo's experience made her tremble with fear.

Shen Lanbo said in a deep voice, "Who doesn't want to live peacefully? Do I like war? But the enemy won't let us be peaceful. Between enemies, it's either they die or I die. There's no other way to go."

Shen Lanbo replied indifferently, "I don't know. The chief didn't say when we left."

Fang Nan softly said, "My dad told me privately that Zhou Zhiyuan's transfer was very strange, but he didn't understand. Such a big loophole, yet no one thought of it?"

Shen Lanbo smiled wryly and said in a low voice, "It's this loophole that made me think of a possibility."

He didn't say what kind of possibility, and Fang Nan didn't ask further. She asked softly, "Has Zhou Zhiyuan thought of it?"

Shen Lanbo replied decisively, "He hasn't thought of it, because he doesn't want to."

Hearing this answer, Fang Nan asked strangely, "He doesn't even want to think about this, and you still say he's good at making decisions?"

Shen Lanbo laughed and said, "This is his strength. What's the point of thinking about it? If he receives an order, dare he not execute it?"

This answer made Fang Nan blink. After thinking about it carefully, she felt that it made sense, and couldn't help but ask, "What is Zhou Zhiyuan's fatal flaw?"

Hearing her ask this question, Shen Lanbo looked at her, then smiled and said, "Let me tell you a secret. Zhiyuan's most fatal flaw is that he can't plan anything. It's strange to say, but as long as it's something he plans, no matter how meticulous, there will definitely be problems during implementation. It's either a natural disaster or a man-made disaster. Anyway, it will be abandoned halfway."

Hearing such a strange answer, Fang Nan blinked her eyes lightly and said softly, "It's really strange."

"It's really strange..." Shen Lanbo replied in a low voice, "The chief knows his characteristics and never lets him interrupt when formulating combat plans. He just asks him 'Can it be done?' If he says yes, then they do it, and then everything goes smoothly."

Zhou Zhiyuan's characteristic made Fang Nan extremely curious, but she didn't want to dwell on it, Zhou Zhiyuan had nothing to do with her.

Fang Nan was concerned about her marriage with Shen Lanbo, and taking advantage of Zhou Zhiyuan's characteristics, she asked, "Does Zhou Zhiyuan think our marriage will work out?"

She was asking knowingly, Zhou Zhiyuan firmly supported Shen Lanbo marrying her.

Shen Lanbo sighed softly and replied, "My health is part of the reason, but more importantly, I don't know what kind of missions I will be accepting?"

Fang Nan was waiting for him to say this. Her father, Fang Muxian, had analyzed it very clearly for her. She was prepared and said firmly, "No matter what the mission is, I will bear it with you."

Shen Lanbo looked at her and said softly, "Organizational discipline doesn't allow it."

"I'll wait for you at home," Fang Nan said still firmly.

She had experienced difficult times since she was a child, longing for her parents' smiles. She didn't understand when she was very young, but she understood when she grew up that she might never see those two familiar figures again.

Shen Lanbo was the one who accompanied her through that period, and she would accompany Shen Lanbo through the future.

Looking at those firm almond eyes, Shen Lanbo knew what she was thinking and said softly, "You are my lover, and Zhiyuan is my brother. I don't want my lover and brother to be guarding against each other, it will make it difficult for me and will make Zhiyuan stay away from me."

Shen Lanbo spoke his mind, which was equivalent to drawing a bottom line for Fang Nan.

But what Fang Nan focused on was this sentence, "You are my lover..." Their future was certain.

Excited, Fang Nan put down the apple in her hand, got up and sat on the edge of the bed, and leaned over to hug Shen Lanbo's waist tightly.

She had been so scared these days, worried that Shen Lanbo would make the decision to break up.

Feeling the body trembling slightly, Shen Lanbo gently stroked her hair and said softly, "You know my character, although I took off my military uniform, I will always be a soldier. If you are with me, you may not be able to live a stable life."

And Fang Nan nodded gently in his arms. For her, this moment of warmth was the most important.

At this time, neither of them wanted to speak, and a warm atmosphere rose in this silent atmosphere.

But the door was pushed open with a bang, and Shen Lanyin entered the room and shouted, "Brother, I think Dad's arrangement..."

Speaking of this, she shut up, widened her bright phoenix eyes, and seeing Fang Nan, who was sitting up in a hurry, with a flushed face, and Shen Lanbo's face showing an embarrassed expression, Shen Lanyin realized and said in a low voice, "You guys continue." After saying that, she turned around and left.

Hearing the sound of the door closing, Fang Nan said娇嗔, "How embarrassing."

Shen Lanbo muttered to himself, "This girl is still so reckless!"

Then he comforted Fang Nan, "What's so embarrassing about being seen by your sister-in-law?"

This made Fang Nan happy.

And Shen Lanyin returned to her room and sat at the table, thinking seriously.

Shen Jue's arrangement was indeed strange. Inviting Zhou Zhiyuan was a private matter. With Shen Jue's style, he should have arranged it after returning home, and would not have made a special call during the research period.

Thinking of a possibility, Shen Lanyin muttered softly, "What information does Dad want to convey?"

But she couldn't figure it out, and determined that Shen Lanbo should know, so she got up and walked into Shen Lanbo's room, but saw an embarrassing scene.

Shen Lanbo and Fang Nan were quite embarrassed, and Shen Lanyin was also quite embarrassed. Returning to her room, she sat at the table and thought carefully, she was still reckless, Shen Lanbo would not tell her.

"When the idiot comes home, I'll observe carefully and I'll know." Shen Lanyin came up with a solution. With Zhou Zhiyuan's stupidity, he couldn't escape her discerning eyes.

It's strange to say, Zhou Zhiyuan's image in her heart is an idiot, although he went to hold the enemy's bayonet for Shen Lanbo, it fully embodies the essence of an idiot.

In that kind of emergency situation, if it were her, she would have many ways to save Shen Lanbo. Throwing the dagger in her hand would be faster and more useful than rushing over to hold the enemy's bayonet.

Thinking of this, Shen Lanyin raised her arm and threw the pen in her hand, and was satisfied to see the pen steadily fall on the bed. After calculating the time, she continued to affirm that Zhou Zhiyuan was indeed very stupid.

And the stupidest thing about him was chasing after three miles with a dagger in his left hand. At that time, a bullet could have taken his life. Could a Zhou Zhiyuan without a life still catch that colonel commander?

Thinking of this, she shook her head. There was no need to consider this question, the answer was no, so Zhou Zhiyuan was indeed very stupid.

As a squad leader, in the case of the platoon leader being injured and unconscious, he automatically became the commander of the entire platoon. At that time, he should have organized the platoon soldiers to conduct an orderly pursuit, and clearly assigned who would pursue and who would cover. This was the best policy to pursue.

But Zhou Zhiyuan didn't think of this, just because his brain was too stupid. An idiot can't think of clever ways.

Then she thought of another question, "Such a stupid person, my brother actually wants me to be with him, what are his intentions?"

This question is very sharp and involves her trust in Shen Lanbo.

Shen Lanbo would never harm her. After clarifying this point, she couldn't figure it out. Zhou Zhiyuan's reason for valuing love and righteousness was untenable.

After thinking about it, she came to a conclusion, "The idiot gave my brother a hallucinatory soup."

It is said that this bowl of soup can make people's minds intoxicated, regard bad guys as good people, such as making idiots become smart, this bowl of hallucinatory soup must have increased the dose.
