Chapter 595: Clown 1
However, no one noticed that in the shadow of the courtyard gate, a thin young man was staring at the direction of the jeep with a ferocious face. It was not until the dim light at the gate of the courtyard was turned off and the surroundings fell into darkness that the thin young man reacted. However, he did not return to the courtyard immediately. Instead, he stomped his feet that were numb from the cold and turned into the darkness.
The thin young man walked through several alleys in the dark and arrived in front of a large courtyard with familiarity.
This is the staff compound of the Dongcheng District Post Office. Two five-story tube-shaped buildings have been newly built in the compound. Those living here are all leading cadres at or above the section level of the Dongcheng District Post and Telecommunications Bureau.
The thin young man walked to the gate. At this time, the iron gate of the courtyard had already been closed, and only a small door near the guard room was ajar.
The thin young man had just walked to the small door when he heard a loud shout from the guard room next to him: "What are you doing?"
The thin young man was startled and quickly stopped, turning to look at the guard room.
At this time, a tall security guard in a blue coat appeared at the door and asked in a deep voice, "What do you do? What are you doing here so late?"
The thin young man hurriedly took out his work ID from his jacket pocket, trembling, and handed it to the other party with a smile: "Hello, comrade, I am also a postman in our Dongcheng District Post and Telecommunications Bureau. My name is Zheng Xiangqian, and I am here to see Deputy Director Chu's Chu Hongjun for an urgent matter."
The security guard opened the work card under the light and carefully checked it. He said seriously: "It's so late now. The leaders inside have already gone to bed. If you have anything to say, go to the unit tomorrow."
How could Zheng Xiangqian wait until tomorrow? By then, the flowers would be cold, so he quickly said, "Comrade, I really have something very important to ask Chu Hongjun. Please be flexible."
The security guard saw the anxious look on the thin young man's face in the light of the guard room. He was also worried that there was something important. It would be difficult to deal with it if it was delayed. The main thing was that Chu Hongjun was still the deputy section chief of the Security Department of Dongcheng District Post and Telecommunications Bureau. His father was also the deputy director of Dongcheng District Post and Telecommunications Bureau. He heard that his grandfather was also a leader of the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications, and he was also his immediate superior. So he returned the work permit in his hand to the other party and said, "You wait here. I will call Deputy Section Chief Chu now. If he is willing to see you, he will come out."
After the security guard finished speaking, he walked back to the guard room, shook the telephone handle, and was quickly connected to Deputy Director Chu's home.
After speaking a few words into the microphone, the security guard put down the phone, walked to the door and said loudly: "Comrade Zheng, just wait at the gate. Deputy Section Chief Chu will be out soon." After that, he turned around and went back to the guard room and closed the door directly.
In such cold weather, I would not be so stupid as to accompany the other person in suffering from the cold. As for asking Zheng Xiangqian to wait for others in the guard room, that was simply impossible. Firstly, the unit had a clear rule that outsiders were not allowed to enter the guard room at will. There was a rifle next to the desk here. Secondly, I didn't know this guy, so why bother.
Zheng Xiangqian looked helplessly at the closed door, stomped his numb feet hard, walked to the sheltered place against the wall, took out a box of cigarettes, lit one tremblingly, took a deep breath, and then he felt a little warm.
However, with the flickering light of the cigarette butt, one could still vaguely see the vicious look in Zheng Xiangqian's eyes.
Ever since he moved into that courtyard house after getting a room for work, Zheng Xiangqian fell in love with Su Yu, who lived in the west wing of the backyard. Although Su Yu was still in high school at that time, she had grown into a beautiful girl with a charming figure. Not only Zheng Xiangqian, but many unmarried young men in the neighborhood had their eyes on this pretty girl. Some even asked a matchmaker to propose marriage to her. Unfortunately, Jiang Sufen directly rejected them all on the grounds that her daughter was still in school.
Jiang Sufen's husband was a revolutionary martyr. Before his death, he was the deputy division commander of a certain unit. Jiang Sufen was arranged by the organization to serve as deputy director of the office of the Dongcheng District Post and Telecommunications Bureau. In addition, Jiang Sufen herself was a woman with a hot-tempered personality, and many of her husband's former comrades-in-arms came to visit her during the holidays, so no one dared to have any bad ideas.
After Su Yu finally graduated from high school, she was directly assigned to work as an officer in the Security Department of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill. Several young men then began to take action, either deliberately looking for opportunities to strike up a conversation with Su Yu, or asking a matchmaker to come to their house to propose marriage. Unfortunately, Su Yu and her mother ignored them at all. Jiang Sufen even frankly stated that her daughter's marriage was up to her.
Zheng Xiangqian had also deliberately approached Su Yu many times in an attempt to win her favor, but it was all in vain. Su Yu just kept a polite smile every time, but she refused Zheng Xiangqian's invitations to watch movies, have dinner, etc. without hesitation.
Chu Hongjun was also one of Su Yu's many suitors. He met her by chance when Su Yu forgot to bring her keys and went to the Dongcheng District Post and Telecommunications Bureau to find Jiang Sufen to get the keys. He immediately fell in love with this beautiful girl.
From then on, Chu Hongjun often looked for opportunities to "accidentally" meet Su Yu, and even asked his father to personally propose to Jiang Sufen.
Unfortunately, Chu Hongjun, relying on his wealthy family background, has always been arrogant in the unit. Not only does he have a very ordinary relationship with his colleagues, but some people even spread rumors privately that Chu Hongjun is a drinker, whore, gambler. How could Jiang Sufen let her daughter marry such a playboy?
When Chu Hongjun learned that he was rejected by Jiang Sufen, he did not give up easily. He continued to pester her and often created various "chance encounters" on Su Yu's way home from get off work. Unfortunately, Su Yu still refused to listen.
As one of Su Yu's suitors, Zheng Xiangqian certainly knew that Chu Hongjun had been pursuing Su Yu madly.
Today, when Zheng Xiangqian learned that Su Yu was engaged, he felt extremely angry. He did not expect Su Yu to be a woman who was greedy for power. But when he thought about Su Yu's fiancé, the deputy secretary and deputy director of the Municipal Bureau, and the secretary of the Security Department of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, this long list of prominent identities was definitely not something a small postman like him could mess with. So a fat guy immediately appeared in his mind. Yes, it was Chu Hongjun, deputy chief of the Security Section of the Dongcheng District Post and Telecommunications Bureau. Not only was this guy's father the deputy director of the Dongcheng District Post and Telecommunications Bureau, but it was also said that his grandfather was a department-level leading cadre of the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications. Since he could not deal with that guy named Lin Yu, he could completely instigate Chu Hongjun, this idiot, to step forward. So Zheng Xiangqian immediately ran to the family compound of the Dongcheng District Post and Telecommunications Bureau.
