The Fiery Era of Siheyuan

Chapter 497: Pulling the tiger’s skin to pull the flag

Zhao Guobing smiled confidently and said, "I'm 70% to 80% sure, but it would be best if you could give me some support."

After saying that, Zhao Guobing didn't want to be polite to him. He rubbed his hands with a smile and gave him a "you know" look.

Li Weiguo didn't understand what he meant. It was just some material support and it didn't matter. He just smiled and gave him a no problem gesture.

Over the years, Zhao Guobing and Zhou Can have been asking him for help due to their promotions, but they did not let Li Weiguo suffer, and they would find ways to compensate Li Weiguo afterwards.

For example, some internal benefits provided by the supply and marketing cooperative and the sub-district office, as well as job vacancies in the unit, etc. Whenever there is a benefit, he and Zhou Can will think about Li Weiguo and try their best to leave a share for Li Weiguo. It is considered a mutual benefit between the brothers. Take care of each other.

The two brothers discussed the matter secretly, but Yu Yu blinked his big eyes and was confused. He didn't know what the two brothers meant by their flirting there.

On the other hand, Yuan Manxia, ​​as Zhao Guobing's bedfellow, had some suspicions in her mind when she saw their abnormal behavior. She often heard praises for Li Weiguo from her father, District Chief Yuan, and her father-in-law, Zhao Xingguo, so she was very aware of Li Weiguo's energy.

But since they didn't say anything in public now, it was hard for her to ask, so she could only suppress her curiosity for the time being and prepare to go back to ask Zhao Guobing at night.

After discussing the matter of material support, the two brothers stopped talking about this aspect and instead talked about the changes and growth of the brothers over the years.

For example, Zhao Guobing gave birth to a daughter with Yuan Manxia two years ago. Recently, the couple is discussing having a second child.

Another example is that Zhou Can and Pang Xiaoyue have been married for three years. Zhou's father and Zhou's mother have always wanted to have a grandson. It was not until a few months ago that their dream came true and they held a fat grandson weighing five pounds and two taels.

What's interesting is that not long after the child was born, Zhou Can, who didn't know whether it was a whim or an itchy skin, actually named the child Zhou Weiguo. He really took advantage of Li Weiguo.

Moreover, Zhou Can is not afraid of death. He even threatened in front of Li Weiguo and Zhao Guobing that he would name his second child Zhou Guobing.

At that time, when Li Weiguo and Zhao Guobing heard about it, they didn't know what the hell the fight was about. They were so angry that they were itching their teeth.

The first name may be a coincidence, but if the second child is named like this, it means that the turtle son is preparing to upgrade himself.

Can Li Weiguo and Zhao Guobing agree? Absolutely not. At that time, they held down Zhou Can and beat him up.

Now when we talk about that guy, we still can't get over it. The two brothers have made an appointment again. Next time they meet, they must give the guy a good meal so that he can know why the flowers are so red.

After talking about family and children, the two brothers chatted and talked about career.

For example, Zhao Guobing is currently working hard to become the deputy director of the Jiaodaokou Sub-district Office, and Zhou Can is now the section chief of the non-staple food sales department of the Jiaodaokou Supply and Marketing Cooperative. It is said that he is also going to be the deputy director of the supply and marketing cooperative. There are signs of movement in their positions, and each of them has made considerable progress.

It's a pity that brothers Zhao Guobing and Zhou Can have tried their best to catch up with Li Weiguo over the years.

The two brothers are still in the stage of working hard from the chief section level to the deputy division level. Li Weiguo has already become the division chief of the security division. His status is as high as that of his parents and elders. He wants to be envied by others. no.

But the only good thing is that there is no sense of distance between the brothers because of the difference in levels. When the three brothers get together, they are still the same as before. When they should fight, they still fight, when they should hurt each other, they still hurt each other. Their relationship is still the same.

While chatting, Li Weiguo and Zhao Guobing couldn't help laughing when they thought about everything they had done over the years.

Even Yu Yu and Yuan Manxia next to them looked at their man with expressions of relief and pride.

After all, no matter where you are, it is very impressive to be able to become a deputy director in your twenties. As married women, they cannot be more satisfied if their men can make a difference.

After chatting for about ten minutes, the two brothers talked about their prospects for the future.

Zhao Guobing doesn’t have big plans for the future. He just hopes that in the next few years, he can take the position of deputy director of the sub-district office step by step, and then continue to shine in his position. He will continue to work hard and strive to be able to work in the sub-district office within ten years. Take the top position.

However, when it was Li Weiguo's turn to speak, Li Weiguo was stunned by his "ten-year plan". His mind moved as if he remembered something.

Seeing that he was stunned without saying a word, Zhao Guobing turned his head and glanced at him curiously: "Weiguo, what's wrong?"

Li Weiguo did not reply to him immediately, but pondered for a few seconds, and then glanced around the area with the corner of his eyes. After confirming that no one was eavesdropping, he put his arm around Zhao Guobing's shoulders and leaned into his ear. He whispered:

"Guo Bing, the weather has not been very good recently. After the New Year, the weather may change. Please be careful in the unit and be careful not to get in the way of some people!"

A whisper in his ear, coupled with Li Weiguo's uncharacteristic behavior, instantly rang the alarm bell in Zhao Guobing's heart.

He didn't know what Li Weiguo meant when he suddenly said this, but when he turned around and saw the serious expression on Li Weiguo's face, these words made his scalp tingle. Zhao Guobing had been a cadre in the street office for many years, and he had developed a good Qi-nurturing Kung Fu. When he heard this news, he was surprised and confused, but he didn't show it on his face. He also pretended to be like Li Weiguo just now. Tsukuru glanced around as if nothing had happened.

After confirming that no one was paying attention to them and that Miss Yuyu and Yuan Manxia were also whispering, they leaned into Li Weiguo's ear and whispered, "Weiguo, what do you mean? Did you get any news?"

Li Weiguo was silent for two seconds, then nodded solemnly, but he didn't explain much. He just reached into his pocket, took out a pack of "Special Pandas", and then popped two out for him.

"Guo Bing, these are the cigarettes my master got from his old commander. Keep them and don't smoke them. Don't ask questions. Take them back and give them one each to Uncle Zhao and Uncle Zhou. Then quietly tell them what I just said." Just listen."

With that said, Li Weiguo handed him two "special pandas".

Although some things are close at hand, they haven't happened yet, and it's hard for him to explain them, so he can only make them be more vigilant by pulling the wool over their eyes.

Zhao Guobing is not at a high level, so he may not be able to understand it for the time being, but at the level of Father Zhao and Father Zhou, I think he can understand some of these words.

Zhao Guobing lowered his head and glanced at the cigarette he handed over. When he saw the words "Specially Made" Panda Brand on the cigarette box in his hand, his pupils suddenly shrank and his heart was shocked.

Although he has never seen or smoked this "special panda", as a child of the Food Institute and his parents are high-ranking officials, his knowledge is naturally higher than that of ordinary people.

The name "Central Special Supply" is well known. This cigarette is only supplied to the big guys above and is never put on the market. It is not accessible to them at all.

And as someone who had played with Tieqi since childhood, he also knew that Li Weiguo had become a great old Red Army master after joining the steel rolling mill.

Li Weiguo said that his master got this smoke from the old chief, but he still didn't understand the meaning.

For a moment, thunder was rolling in Zhao Guobing's mind, and he soon made up a lot of information from the few words Li Weiguo just said.

Understanding the seriousness of the matter, Zhao Guobing didn't ask any more questions. He just pursed his lips and took a deep breath. Then he nodded and carefully put the two "special pandas" into his cigarette case, thinking I'll show it to his dad and Zhou's dad when I get back to see what his dad and Zhou's dad mean.

After talking about the matter, the two brothers had no desire to chat anymore. They just smoked silently and thought about their own things.

Time passed quickly, and the sky gradually darkened.

Not long after, the empty bench that Xu Damao reserved for factory leaders around the projector was almost filled with people, including cadres from various departments and divisions in the factory.

After the cadres arrived, they greeted each other and then found a place to sit down.

As the movie was about to start, Secretary Yang and Director Liu of the factory office also came with Zhao's father, Director Gu of the Meat Factory, Director Huang of Shuangqiao Farm and other leaders of the cooperating supply units.

As soon as the leaders arrived, there was a burst of greetings at the scene.

Secretary Yang, Director Liu of the factory office and other leaders did not put on airs. They just smiled and pressed their hands, letting everyone present do as they pleased, and then sat down under Xu Damao's arrangement.

After several leaders sat down, Xu Damao quickly received instructions and the movie could start.

So Xu Damao did not dare to delay, skillfully turned on the projector and started the screening work.

As Xu Damao operated, the old-fashioned projector began to rotate, the light projected onto the movie screen slowly lit up, and the words "Ashima" appeared on the screen.

Seeing the movie screen appear, the open-air movie theater that was noisy just now was quiet for an instant, and the audience stopped talking and all concentrated on watching the movie.

The movies of this era are very touching in terms of color and picture quality, and even the actors' performances are spot-on.

Although in the eyes of Li Weiguo, a traveler who has experienced the information explosion in the 21st century, the quality of the movie is not very good, but it is still very popular in this era of lack of entertainment.

Not to mention, at least the actors were all beautiful. They simply fascinated some of the unmarried young guys on the scene. Even Zhao Guobing, who was worried just now, was watching with gusto now.

It's a pity that this kind of romantic movie with a touch of mythology will probably not be shown a few times. Now it is only shown on a small scale internally. If it wants to be released to the public, it will have to wait at least 9 years.

Thinking of this, Li Weiguo also secretly reminded himself that he should be cautious in his words and deeds in the next few years.
