Courtyard House: A Great Musician! Red Songs Resound Worldwide

After going through this series of very complicated procedures.

His old-fashioned bicycle was finally legally allowed on the road...

However, he could understand these things; after all, a bicycle was a big purchase these days...

Riding this thing is just like driving a car in the future; you must abide by the relevant regulations.

Thank goodness this thing doesn't require a driver's license... otherwise Li Chaoyang would have been thinking of getting a used one...

When I asked which specific department I needed to go to, I was told that the steel rolling mill's security department was a unit under the city bureau's horizontal management and also had the function of registering vehicles...

So Li Chaoyang immediately turned around, went out and bought a pack of Daqianmen cigarettes, and came back, resolving the matter...

The security officer who initially stopped him accepted the cigarette and immediately promised to get it done before he left work.

All you need to do is write down the car purchase invoice, your name, and your company name...

That can be left with the gatekeeper.

Li Chaoyang left the task to the enthusiastic security officer, put his hands in his pockets, and strolled towards the cultural center.

After all that trouble, it was almost 3 a.m. when we finally got to the cultural center.

However, although the people in the publicity department don't look very impressive, they are actually quite hardworking.

Even the fallen leaves at the door have been swept clean now...

Li Chaoyang looked at the clean and tidy open space, nodded in satisfaction, and walked in.

"You're quite perceptive; you didn't wait for me to speak... Not bad."

Well, these young people are efficient enough; the lobby on the first floor has already been cleaned up!

The messy, dirty items that used to be scattered around the hall were all gone.

It smells a bit like the smell of cleaning classrooms when I was a kid...

The busy crowd did not notice Li Chaoyang.

Ren Guizhong and Zhou Xingsheng, the two radio station staff, were climbing onto the windowsill and diligently wiping the glass.

Little Song was downstairs handing the two of them rags, and she was also busy and sweating profusely...

"Great, it looks much cleaner now..."

At that moment, the library door behind him was opened from the inside, and the young man who had been in the factory office earlier came out. When he saw Li Chaoyang standing in the hall, he stopped in his tracks.

The young man came out and suddenly saw Li Chaoyang. He looked a little nervous and said, "Section Chief Li..."

Li Chaoyang turned around, saw it was him, smiled and said, "It's you?"

Seeing that he also seemed to be working, Li Chaoyang asked again, "Are you busy working alongside everyone else?"

"Yes, Section Chief. I just came over to vacate Director Liu's office and saw everyone cleaning up."

“I’ll stay here too.” The young man paused, observing Li Chaoyang’s expression. Seeing that Li Chaoyang didn’t say anything but just nodded, he continued, “I’m sorry, Section Chief.”

"I should have come to report to you this morning."

"But I didn't know you would be coming to work today."

"Furthermore... Director Liu assigned us a task that we must complete before the end of the workday at noon..."

"That's why..."

Hearing this, Li Chaoyang interrupted him, saying, "Alright, no need to explain."

"I'm not that particular... so there's no need to apologize to me."

"Just focus on your job from now on."

Chapter Twenty: The First Deputy Section Chief's Defection

Upon hearing this, the young man nodded vigorously, "Yes, yes, Section Chief!"

"From now on, I will definitely focus on my duties in the publicity department and never be distracted again..."

Li Chaoyang looked at the young man's wet rag and his sweat-drenched brow.

Deep down, he already knew that he had managed to pull this person back from Director Liu's side.

He deliberately asked him to vacate the office in front of Director Liu, which was also intentional.

But I didn't expect this young man to be so quick-witted!

After completing the tasks assigned to him, he simply stayed there and didn't go back.

And look at what they said; a simple "I will never be half-hearted again" directly expresses their attitude.

However, Li Chaoyang genuinely didn't care about any of this...

What he did before was just a small counterattack against that Director Liu.

Besides, this guy in front of me is the deputy head of the propaganda department.

But it was just a job done in lieu of a managerial position.

If he really has the guts, he should stay in the factory office and not come back to work, making himself miserable.

Li Chaoyang has plenty of ways to deal with that slowly...

Putting everything else aside, the attendance system alone is enough to give them a run for their money...

After thinking for a moment, he still said to the young man, "There's no point in saying these things."

"The key is that I need to see how you do it."

"Go ahead and get busy... I'll go upstairs and check how the tidying is going..."

Li Chaoyang noticed that the people around him were excited and came closer to him.

He wanted to hurry upstairs, but just as he was about to climb the steps, the young man caught up with him again.

"Section Chief..."

"What's wrong? Is there anything else?" Li Chaoyang stopped in his tracks.

"Section Chief, it's like this, Director Liu, he..." The young man hesitated slightly before continuing.

"Director Liu said that the desks and other furniture in that office were borrowed from the logistics department."

"Now that he's no longer the section chief, he has to return it..."

"And he also...he also..." The man stopped there, looking embarrassed.

Li Chaoyang frowned, but was about to ask a question.

Little Song had somehow gotten here. Seeing that he didn't speak, she suddenly appeared in front of Li Chaoming, looking extremely annoyed, and added, "Section Chief Li... Director Liu sent a few people over with him."

"They just took all the furniture from your office!"

"They didn't even leave you a chair... not even a single piece of paper!"

Li Chaoyang looked at the young man beside him with a strange expression.

His face turned completely red... and he said with an expression of unbearable shame, "Section Chief... I..."

"Alright, I know, this isn't your fault." Li Chaoyang waved his hand to stop him from continuing.

Looking at the propaganda department members who had gathered together again, he said, "Alright, stop watching the show."

"Go ahead and get busy. I'll go upstairs to see how things are going."

"Come up for the meeting once you're done with your work..."

"Yes, Section Chief..." Everyone nodded in agreement.

Li Chaoyang hurried upstairs. He said...

But he had only gone halfway up the stairs... when he heard someone calling him from behind, "Section Chief Li, wait a minute!"

Li Chaoyang stopped again and looked back...9

But then a burly man led several workers carrying equipment into the cultural center's lobby...3

The burly man leading the group saw Li Chaoyang enter the hall, jogged a few steps, and hurried up the stairs to catch up.

"Section Chief Li, wait for me, let's go up together..."

Li Chaoyang looked at the unfamiliar burly man with a puzzled expression and asked, "Brother, who are you...?"

"Oh, sorry, I forgot to mention, I'm Old Cao from the factory's logistics department."

The burly man smiled enthusiastically and said, "Section Chief Li, I've long admired your name..."

"I've finally met you today." Seeing that Li Chaoyang was still standing there in a daze, he added, "Come on, Section Chief Li."

"Let's go up there and talk about it..."

"Logistics Department... Old Cao..." Li Chaoyang snapped out of his daze, "Oh, okay..."

When they got to the second floor, Old Cao didn't say why he came to see Li Chaoyang.

Instead, he kept smiling broadly and asking Li Chaoyang all sorts of questions until they reached their section chief's office.

Old Cao saw that the room was empty... and his expression became complicated...
