Siheyuan: Enemy spies are captured every time

"Director Hua, to be honest, the person you hit is the lady from our department store. I can't afford to offend her." Manager Wang said with a wry smile.

"Hey Fatty, you are a state official after all, why are you afraid of a young girl?" Hua Chengyu glanced at the salesperson from a distance. With a pointed chin, upside-down triangular eyes, and a pig nose, if he were in the world, he would definitely look like an internet celebrity, sarcastic and mean.

"Yellow-haired girl? Do you know who the eldest brother-in-law of my third uncle's brother-in-law is?" Fatty Wang said with lingering fear.

"Who is it? Why are you so scared?" Hua Chengyu became even more curious.

"Shi Fawu, you've heard of him, right? The person who sent that girl to the department store to work that day was Shi Fawu's secretary." Manager Wang said.

"The Shi Fawu who surrendered?"

The fat manager nodded and said, "That young lady is very hot-tempered. She relies on her third uncle's brother-in-law's eldest brother-in-law to bully others and has had conflicts with customers many times. Director Hua, you have to be careful."

"Hmph! She's just a former lieutenant general. What's so impressive about her!" Hua Chengyu said nonchalantly, "If you're afraid, I'll send someone to take her away later."

"You can't do this, Director Hua!" The fat manager was sweating profusely. "Can you please make a big deal out of a small matter for my sake? After all, you are also a leader in the department. If this gets out of hand, it will affect you too, right?"

Hua Chengyu thought about it and agreed that it was true.

If the matter got out of hand, it would seem that he was arguing with a salesperson. However, this salesperson was related to Shi Kefa, the eldest brother-in-law of the third uncle's brother-in-law?

What is this called?

Uncle and uncle? It seems that this relationship is a bit distant. Why did he let Shi Fawu's secretary accompany him?

It's just a sales position, but you should know that Shi Fawu is a vice-ministerial level official. This doesn't make sense and it's hard to say.

"What do this little girl's parents do?" Hua Chengyu asked.

"You mean Guan Xiao? His ancestors were once rich. They were from the Guarjia clan and even had a prince of the highest rank. But later on, their family fell into poverty and they changed their surname to Guan." The fat manager thought for a moment and said, "His father was once a top figure. Half of the shares of this mall belonged to his family. Later, I heard that they fell into poverty overnight and all the shares were sold to the Lou family. Later, it became a public-private partnership."

"Destroyed overnight?" Hua Chengyu said to himself.

First of all, the Guaerjia clan is one of the oldest surnames of the Jurchens. After the fall of the Qing Dynasty, most people of the Guaerjia clan changed their surname to Guan. Until later generations, this family was still jumping around and making trouble. The power behind them was intertwined. They even had important say in the business and literary circles together with the descendants of the Aisin-Gioro clan, Niuhulu clan, Nara clan, Fucha clan and other old and young people.

First, they appeared in the TV series "Cleaning White Mites", and then in the toxic teaching materials.

There are some things that ordinary people don't know. Second-generation people like Hua Chengyu are still a little wary of these people. Of course, they are not afraid of them, but they are afraid of getting into trouble.

One is a lieutenant general of the previous dynasty, and the other is a princess of the previous dynasty. Are they relatives?

He thought again of the old Chaofeng, Baihua Hutong in Xicheng District, Yue Ji and the deaf old lady that Brother Xiao mentioned. Is there any connection between them?

What kind of connection is it?

"Director Hua, Director?" The fat man was very anxious when he saw that Hua Chengyu was slow to express his opinion. They were all gods in heaven, how could a small person like him afford to offend them?

"Um!"

"Director Hua, please let Guan Xiao go for my sake!" The fat man was so anxious that he was sweating.

"Okay!" Hua Chengyu nodded. How could he let her go? This salesperson was a breakthrough point. She was also a descendant of the previous dynasty. Someone was secretly following her. She would receive the information first.

"Thank you, Director Hua." The fat man bowed repeatedly.

Back at the place where the beating happened, Fei'er was about to come over here, but Guan Xiao had already been controlled, and two groups of people were confronting each other. One side was several officers from the security department of the department store, and the other side was Officer Zhu and his comrades from the police station.

"Secretary Zhu, why are you here?" Hua Chengyu asked curiously.

"Reporting to the chief, I am on vacation today, so I came to the mall to buy something. I happened to see the chief having a conflict with the salesperson, so I found my comrade-in-arms. Yes, this is my comrade-in-arms, Comrade Li Shun from Xicheng Third Street and his colleague." Secretary Zhu stood up and saluted in one go.

"Comrade Li Shun and all of you, thank you for your hard work." It was the first time that Hua Chengyu was called the leader, and he felt strange. Secondly, he was at a level that qualified him as the leader.

In the army, battalions and companies are grassroots units and are generally not called chiefs. Only the chief officers of units at the regimental level and above are called chiefs. It is not like in later generations, when there are company chiefs and battalion chiefs everywhere.

At the local level, only cadres at the department level and above are qualified to be called heads. He is now deputy director, so he is qualified in terms of position.

"Report to the commander, it's not hard!" Li Shun and his comrades said hurriedly.

A trace of fear finally flashed in the eyes of the salesperson. Even the security department of the department store couldn't protect him, and he was called the leader at such a young age.

"Guan Xiao!" Hua Chengyu suddenly shouted.

"In...Commander..." Guan Xiao almost lost his soul.

"Guan Xiao, you insulted state officials with the intention of committing a crime. According to relevant laws, you should be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of less than three years, detention or control. However, I will spare you for the sake of your uncle, Deputy Minister Shi. If you commit the same offense again next time, you will be punished for multiple crimes. In addition, you should be more polite in the future. Not everyone is your parent and will spoil you." Hua Chengyu waved his hand: "Let go!"

"Thank you, thank you, Chief!" Guan Xiao was so frightened that her face turned pale.

Fortunately, she had a good uncle and aunt-in-law who were close to her family. She would go back and let her father thank them. She knew that although her house looked shabby now, there were many good things in it. Every time her uncle and aunt-in-law came, they would bring back a lot of good things.

Once, he overheard a conversation between her father and her uncle, which really scared her, but at the same time, she was sure that her uncle would help her.

Sure enough, he was going to work in the department store, so his uncle asked his secretary to accompany him.

Otherwise, she wouldn't dare to be so arrogant.

Hua Chengyu looked at the time. It was almost five o'clock. It was already so late after buying things. Hua Chengyu said goodbye to Fei'er in the department store and then returned to the courtyard.

"Director Hua, you're back. Have you eaten?" Yan Bugui was pruning roses again.

"Not yet, Third Uncle, no, Second Uncle, why do you trim the flowers every day? Each pot of your flowers is different." When they returned to the yard, it was not completely dark yet.

The weather was still a little cold at the end of February, and the second uncle was moving the pots of vegetables into the inner room one by one.

"This is a guest...I read it in a book! If you cut the flower like this, it will bloom beautifully when the weather warms up." Yan Bugui almost let it slip.

It was also his fault for being careless. Who in the yard cared about his flowers? Even if he changed the variety, no one would care, except for Hua Chengyu.

"You read it in a book? Uncle, what book is that? Can you recommend one to me? I also love flowers. Can we learn it together?" Hua Chengyu pretended not to hear.

It seems that Yan Bugui overestimated him. He almost gave himself away with just one sentence. How could such a person be considered a spy?

Impossible, absolutely impossible! Most likely, he was taken advantage of.

"I forgot that book, Director Hua. I have read a lot of books and I can't remember it for the moment. I will tell you when I remember it." Yan Bugui pushed his glasses and avoided her gaze.

"Thank you very much, Second Uncle!" Hua Chengyu said lightly as he pushed the cart into the door.

"It's my duty, it's my duty!" Yan Bugui moved aside. He actually forgot to touch a handful of Hua Chengyu's wool. It was incredible because he carried a big cloth bag today.

He shook his head. He planned to take advantage of Yan Bugui after he finished his work at the factory.

Back in the backyard, most of the people in the yard were cooking at this time. They usually finished dinner around 7pm and had to go to bed before :pm.

Most of the time, there will be a power outage after 9: p.m., but of course it is not absolute.

After putting his things away, he walked slowly to Xu Damao's house and saw Lou Xiao'e lying on the bed with her belly slightly bulging. There was a glass of milk beside the bed.

And Xu Damao was busy running around.

He suddenly had a weird feeling...

“Brother is back!”

"Brother Hua, you're back." Lou Xiao'e's voice was a little shaky, and Hua Chengyu was so scared that he almost ran away.

"Brother Damao, sister-in-law!" Hua Chengyu greeted.

"Sit down. You must be hungry. Ezi has some food. Fill your stomach first. The meal will be ready soon!" Xu Damao has two stoves, one for cooking and the other for frying vegetables. He is unique in the courtyard house. At least his house only has one stove.

"I'm not hungry, Brother Damao, Sister-in-law, I want to tell you something!" Hua Minyu sat down.

"You say!" Xu Damao said while cutting vegetables.

"As for the bracelet this afternoon, Fei'er originally asked me to return it, but I saw that she liked it, so I let her keep it. Brother Damao, sister-in-law, how much is your bracelet? I'll buy it." Hua Chengyu said.

"What's the money? It's just a bracelet. How much money does it cost? Brother, don't be so pretentious." Xu Damao waved his hand and said nonchalantly.

It's not like he hasn't seen this kind of bracelet before. The Friendship Store sells them for anywhere from a few dollars to more than ten dollars.

Is Xu Damao the one who is short of those few dollars?

"Xiao'e Team, what do you think?" Hua Chengyu didn't look at Xu Damao, but turned to look at Lou Xiao'e, only to see Lou Xiao'e looking at him with a wronged expression.

Tears welled up in my eyes.

"Brother Damao, Sister Xiao'e, please don't misunderstand!" After a while, Hua Chengyu understood that it seemed that Sister Xiao'e gave it to Fei'er sincerely.

Now what he said might be a bit too much.

"Misunderstanding, what misunderstanding do we have? It's a gift from your sister-in-law to your brother's wife, so just accept it." Xu Damao said.

"Brother Damao, you are currently considered half a state cadre. Once you have the opportunity to become a regular state cadre, you will be a formal state cadre. You still need to be careful about your words and actions." Hua Chengyu said seriously.

"Brother, is there a chance?" Xu Damao turned off the fire and walked over in two steps.

"There are definitely opportunities, such as major meritorious service, working as a correspondent in the department for a period of time, or...but you graduated from junior high school, and although your academic qualifications are a bit low, if you join the party and actively move closer to the organization, there will always be opportunities." Hua Chengyu listed six ways to get promoted.

But the important point is to have someone above you.

For example, a correspondent is actually a secretary, but there are no secretaries at the regiment (department) level, only correspondents, it’s just a different title.

For example, joining the party now, is it just a matter of chance? It's not the beginning. For example, if you are recommended to go to university, what university can you go to without the recommendation of the organization? The quota is not enough for the leaders, so what can ordinary people do?

There are many kinds of things like this, anyway there are quite a few.

The general direction is that if the leader says you are capable, you are capable, and if the leader says you are not capable, you are capable, and if you are capable, you are capable. This has been the rule of official career for thousands of years.

Even if there are random positions in the civil service exams in the future, what can you do?

"Thank you, brother. Thank you, brother!" After working as a cadre, he realized the benefits of being a cadre and the difference between temporary cadres and regular cadres.

There is a huge difference, one is an internal employee and the other is a temporary worker.

"Don't thank me. There is no chance now!" Hua Chengyu dispelled Xu Damao's idea in time.

"We'll talk about it later when we have a chance. Thank you for your concern, brother!" Xu Damao poured him a cup of tea.

"Well, this is not the matter we came here for today, but about the bracelet. Brother Damao, Sister Xiao'e, I know you gave it to Fei'er sincerely, but this matter, you know it, I know it, but others don't know. If it gets out, do you know what the consequences will be?" Hua Chengyu said seriously.

"I don't know!" Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e shook their heads.
