"Director Zhao, the steel mill has stopped your salary. I am offering you a salary of 99 yuan a month, which is the salary of a deputy section chief. In addition, since you graduated from the night school of Beijing University, I have applied for a subsidy of 20 yuan for you."

Director Zhang said embarrassedly, "Don't complain about it being too little..."

"How could it be?"

Zhao Xiyan waved his hand and said, "I should thank you for taking me in. Otherwise, I would stay at home every day and people would treat me like a street kid."

"Okay, as long as you have no objection, I will help you send your work permit tomorrow. The population census is a big deal, and I plan to go to the city in person." Director Zhang said seriously.

"Director..."

Captain Chen shouted eagerly.

"You come with me. Go to your bureau and drive the car out. I will give you a note." Director Zhang said unhappily.

"No problem, let's go now. I don't know how long it will take." Captain Chen said excitedly.

"Don't worry, I still have some questions for Director Zhao,"

Director Zhang glared at him and began to ask in detail about various issues related to the "census".

This question lasted for three hours.

Director Zhang had no choice but to make lunch for Zhao Xiyan, and then he took Captain Chen away at a gallop.

Zhao Xiyan looked and found that there were still some manuscripts saved, so he got up and walked towards the compound.

When the old ladies saw him coming, they subconsciously dodged.

Zhao Xiyan ignored them and went straight out the door.

But before he got in the car, he saw someone waving at him not far away.

"Minister Zhao..."

"Um, Liu Lan?"

Zhao Xiyan was quite surprised, "Aren't you going to work today?"

"Go, I've asked for leave."

Liu Lan ran over and said a little embarrassedly, "I'm a little worried about you..."

"Hey, get in the car."

Zhao Xiyan waved to her and got into the cab himself.

Liu Lan carefully opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat.

"The factory has given you a holiday, how come you still have a car?"

"This car belongs to the Workers' Daily, and I am also the deputy editor-in-chief of the Workers' Daily... What's wrong with driving a car?" Zhao Xiyan laughed, "But you, you came to see me specially?"

"Yeah."

Liu Lan said a little embarrassedly, "I'm worried about you... You are so capable, but the leaders in the factory still treat you like this, they are really not human."

"Ha."

Zhao Xiyan was amused by her, "What's so great about me? Aren't we just ordinary cadres?"

"Why not?"

Liu Lan carefully took out a newspaper, "Our factory is in the newspaper, and a page is promoting our steel mill sports meeting. The leaders of the ministries and commissions will come to see it."

"They just want to show off, as for giving you a holiday, I wrote a lot of letters of denunciation, reporting Yang Jianguo and Li Weimin... and Wang Fuqing."

"No, how do you know who Wang Fuqing is?" Zhao Xiyan was surprised.

"How could I not know? It's written in the newspapers, Minister of Industry Wang Fuqing." Liu Lan wrinkled her nose.

"Don't make a fuss, men should handle men's affairs, you as a woman should not care about these things... If you really get into trouble, you will be in trouble." Zhao Xiyan rubbed her head.

"I'm not afraid."

Liu Lan said firmly, "If they force me, I will die with them..."

"Don't make a fuss."

Zhao Xiyan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "It's really not the case. The steel mill doesn't want me, so I won't go... I'm working in the street office now, deputy director."

"Ah?"

Liu Lan covered her mouth in surprise, "You found a unit so quickly?"

"The unit came to me."

Zhao Xiyan said helplessly, "Our street office director told me that I should go to work in the street office, but I didn't want to go... Look, she came to me as soon as I was on vacation."

"Really?"

Liu Lan was a little unconvinced.

"Here."

Zhao Xiyan handed her a piece of paper.

After Liu Lan opened her eyes, her beautiful eyes suddenly became crescents.

"Comrade Zhao Xiyan is the deputy director of our Nanluoguxiang Street Office and enjoys deputy section-level treatment."

In addition to this line of words, there is also a bright red official seal.

"It's best not to go to the steel mill to work. Don't be angry with them. Just stay in the street office."

"You, don't write a letter of complaint in the future."

Zhao Xiyan pinched her face, "Do you really think the higher-ups don't know who reported it?"

"I know."

Liu Lan nodded obediently.

"Okay, I'll take you to the supply and marketing cooperative. It's almost autumn, and you can buy some clothes." Zhao Xiyan smiled.

"No, no."

Liu Lan bit her lip and said, "There are many people in the supply and marketing cooperative. If someone sees you... then you can't explain it clearly."

"That's fine. Then where should we go?" Zhao Xiyan smiled.

"Or... go to my place.""

Liu Lan blushed and said, "You can park behind my house. It's a big road. When the time comes, you can park your car there and come in through the small door. No one will know."

"Well, you have a small door at home?" Zhao Xiyan was surprised.

"Bei Qing did it. He was afraid that it would be inconvenient for you to come, so he opened a small door on the other side." Liu Lan said a little embarrassedly, "He also registered your car at the street office... He said that the house was occupied by a friend of his, and his friend went to the south."

"No... The street office of your Yanzhi Hutong is opened by his family, so what? He can open it whenever he wants?" Zhao Xiyan frowned.

"You don't know?" Liu Lan was surprised.

"What do I know?"

Zhao Xiyan was also confused.

"The director of the street office of our Yanzhi Hutong is Bei Nian, who is his elder brother." Liu Lan said helplessly.

"Oh my god, there is such a relationship? "

Zhao Xiyan sighed.

"What else?"

Liu Lan smiled bitterly, "If he didn't have any connections, would he have sold me such a big house?"

"That's right."

Zhao Xiyan started the car and drove towards Yanzhi Hutong.

Liu Lan got off the car at the entrance of the hutong, and Zhao Xiyan went around to the other side, parked the car in the corner, took out the key, opened the door and walked in.

The whole backyard was spotlessly clean, with pebbles on the ground and some roses planted in the corner.

The front house was raised with wooden boards, and the whole wooden structure was a bit like the Japanese style.

"Xiao Zhao..."

Liu Lan came over with a pair of slippers.

"Wow, you are really particular." Zhao Xiyan joked.

"They were all sent by Bei Qing. I just met him on the road. He was very happy to hear that you were here... but he said he had to buy something before coming over. "Liu Lan said with a smile.

"He didn't go shopping, he was avoiding suspicion."

Zhao Xiyan shook his head and looked at the house.

This house is well built, but the Japanese style is a bit taboo, and it is all made of wood. If a fire starts, the house will be ruined.

The most important thing is that there is a small table on the floor. He is not used to it. It will be very uncomfortable to sit on the floor for a long time.

Liu Lan poured him a cup of hot tea and sat next to him.

"Xiao Zhao..."

She opened her mouth and there was a knock on the door.
