Chapter 494: Poking the Skylight
What happened now has further confirmed Du Fei's vision and judgment.
This time Jiang Donglai and his wife came here to consolidate their relationship with Du Fei.
Since the last incident with Guo Dabo, Du Fei and Jiang Donglai had not had much contact during this period.
Although Sun Lan is the one pulling the strings, things will get rough over time.
After a while, Sun Lan came out with a kettle, first filled a thermos bottle, and then made tea.
After working for a while, he sat down and interjected, "Du'er, we are not outsiders. Dong Lai and I came here today, but we still don't know what to do. I want to ask you for an idea. What should we do next?"
Jiang Donglai nodded quickly.
Du Fei took a sip from the tea cup and calmly said, "Old Jiang, Aunt Sun, until this time, the barrel of the gun cannot be loosened. Old Jiang, as long as you are on the Security Section side and gather the dozens of people around you, we will immediately In an invincible position.”
Jiang Donglai assured, "Don't worry about this. Since Section Chief Bao has stopped taking care of things, not only the Nanmen brothers, but the entire department has also listened to my arrangements."
Du Fei shook his head, "That's not enough. Now they listen to you just because no one else in the security department speaks. At the critical moment, Director Yang speaks, or Deputy Director Li, or the leader of the armed forces department in the factory... How many people can you control in this situation?”
Jiang Donglai frowned. Of course he understood what Du Fei meant, which was to completely control the people in the security department.
But this is not easy!
Seeing that he was in trouble, Du Fei didn't say anything further. Anyway, the request was made, and Jiang Donglai was left to figure out what to do.
Then he said, "Li Mingfei, go there diligently."
Jiang Donglai said "Yeah". He had already known from Sun Lan that Du Fei and Zhu Ting were having an affair.
He also knew the relationship between Zhu Ting and Li Mingfei.
After staying for a while, Jiang Donglai and his wife said goodbye and left.
Du Fei sent him out, but before he could sit down when he came back, someone else came.
This time he didn't knock on the door, he just walked in by himself, it was Qin Huairu.
In summer, Qin Huairu also put on short clothes and short sleeves, revealing half of her fair arms.
After not doing physical work for several months, coupled with Du Fei's moisturizing, Qin Huairu's hands have recovered a lot. Now the calluses can no longer be felt, and the back of the hand, which was originally black, is the same color as the arm.
Her hair has grown quite a bit, and is combed into a bun with a wooden hairpin inserted into it.
Don't underestimate this wooden hairpin.
It is the finest sea yellow material, made into a hairpin according to its natural growth shape.
Du Fei bought it at a trust store and put it in his portable space to repair it like new before giving it to her.
It's not that I can't afford gold and jade. In fact, at this time, I can't wear those.
On the contrary, this wooden hairpin is simple, beautiful, and not eye-catching.
In fact, Qin Huairu had wanted to come for a long time, and only waited until now when she saw Jiang Donglai and his wife coming.
When Du Fei saw her, he smiled, called "Sister Qin" and pulled her into his arms.
Qin Huairu said hurriedly, "Don't make trouble, something is going on!"
Du Fei said "hmm" and motioned for her to speak.
Qin Huairu was a little worried and said, "Xiao Du, what's going on now!"
Du Fei was surprised and said, "What's wrong?"
Qin Huairu said mischievously, "It's over at the night school... there are several teachers who are college students from the Normal University, and they seem to be making trouble. They said that their school has started to stir up trouble, and they hope that us night school students can also participate."
Du Fei frowned, not expecting it to affect the night school so quickly.
After thinking for a while, he said, "Don't go to night school for now. One more thing is worse than one less thing. In addition, in the factory, just follow your Director Lu. Don't get ahead and don't fall behind. If something happens,
Just go with the flow. "
Qin Huairu nodded cautiously. Although she still didn't understand what was going on, she could feel the heaviness in Du Fei's tone.
It can be seen that this time is no small matter.
Then he worriedly said, "But, Jingru..."
Du Fei raised his eyebrows, "What's wrong with her?"
Qin Huairu said, "Jingru said she wanted to take a look."
Du Fei frowned and blurted out, "Go and call her."
Qin Huairu said "hmm" and was about to walk out.
But Du Fei thought about it and grabbed her again, "Forget it, if she wants to go, just go~"
Qin Huairu was a little worried, "There won't be any danger~"
Du Fei said, "I can't say how dangerous it is. That girl is still restless. Let her mess around."
Qin Huairu nodded obediently. Although she was still a little worried about Qin Jingru, she still listened to Du Fei more.
After finishing the matter, Du Fei wanted to do something again.
Qin Huairu wanted to refuse but then welcomed him. The two of them were about to make firewood when there was another knock on the door.
Du Fei was disturbed and couldn't help but frown and asked "Who?"
The third uncle answered outside the door.
Du Fei winked and told Qin Huairu to go upstairs first, then walked over and opened the door, "Hey, Third Master, please come in quickly."
The third uncle laughed dryly, "Um~ Aunt San is not feeling well, so I won't go in and sit down today."
Du Fei asked concernedly, "What's going on? Didn't you go to the hospital?"
The third uncle only said it was an old problem, but it was actually an excuse.
Then he said, "Um...it's almost June, and the liberation thing..."
Du Fei was stunned for a moment, then slapped his thigh ~ I have not forgotten this, but you should also understand the recent situation. I don’t believe in the recruitment of workers at the steel rolling mill. I guess I have to wait for another two months. "
The third uncle was stunned. He didn't expect Du Fei to mention this issue again.
Originally, last time Yan Jiefang threatened Du Fei, he was punished instead.
The third uncle no longer expects the steel rolling mill to recruit workers.
"This~"
The third uncle was hesitant again. Originally, he wanted to get Yan Jiefang to work in the school-run factory first.
But if I could change my position in the steel rolling mill, it would not be much better than the small and shabby place in the school-run factory.
But when I thought about it again, I felt that Du Fei was using this matter to hang him, and he was still holding back in his heart that Yan Jiefang would continue to suffer.
The third uncle was also somewhat decisive, and did not change his mind temporarily. He waved his hand and said, "There is no rush, but in the past few days of liberation, I have been suffering from chest pain. I want to take a few days off and go to the hospital."
Du Fei smiled and said, "Third uncle, you are right. If you ask for leave, go to their section chief. What's the use of telling me~"
The third uncle heyed twice and tried to say, "Then... the things before liberation, can we just write them off right now?"
Du Fei was still smiling, "Hey, look at what you said. Those were all angry words at the beginning. If you hadn't mentioned them, I would have forgotten them."
The third uncle rolled his eyes and said in his heart, "You black-hearted thief, I believe you! What the hell if you forget, I write the character 'Yan' upside down!"
But you can't say these words verbally. On the surface, you have to thank Du Fei for his noble gesture.
After the third uncle left, the smile on Du Fei's face faded.
Originally, he wanted to dangle his grandson, Yan Jiefang, with his job, but he didn't expect that the third uncle didn't take the bait.
Think about it again
The third uncle became the logistics master of their school, and he couldn't help but think to himself, "It seems that becoming an official will be different."
Being able to directly ignore the bait thrown by Du Fei must have made arrangements for Yan Jiefang.
Early the next morning.
Du Fei rides his bicycle to work.
As soon as I exited the alley, I saw a lot of newly painted slogans on the gables facing the main road.
There were people of all ages surrounding a publicity board not far away.
Du Fei rode along and took a look.
On the publicity board, there are two large-character posters written on white paper. .??.
Du Fei didn't look carefully and just rode over.
When I arrived at the unit, it was pretty much the same as usual.
But Du Fei clearly felt that the atmosphere was different.
Even Aunt Zheng, who usually likes to talk the most and is the most talkative, has shut up today.
Sun Lan, who was opposite Du Fei, whispered, "Xiao Du, have you heard? Something happened at Yanda yesterday."
"What's the matter?" Du Fei asked. When Jiang Donglai and the others came last night, Sun Lan didn't mention this matter. He probably got the news after returning.
Sun Landao "I heard..."
But before she could say anything, Section Chief Qian came in from the outside, took a glance, and said in a deep voice, "Everyone, take the chairs and go to the inner courtyard for a meeting immediately."
As soon as they heard this, everyone started to move, packed up their papers and pens, moved onto their chairs, and headed to the backyard in a hurry.
As soon as he left the office, Du Fei saw Zhou Peng coming out from the opposite side, wearing a white Doliang shirt, with two dark circles under his eyes, looking listless.
Du Fei took a step slowly, waited for him to come over, and whispered, "Brother Zhou, did you go into a mouse hole in the middle of the night last night? You can't even open your eyes."
Zhou Peng let out a "poof" and sighed, "Forget it~ I met a stupid young man last night who came to poke the skylight of me."
Du Fei understood that this was slang.
The so-called "poking the skylight" is Buddha's introductory skill.
Just like a Saint, only by mastering the seventh sense can he become a Golden Saint.
Generally, thieves cannot be called Buddha. Only those who can "poke through the skylight" can be called "Buddha".
It is definitely a high-end professional skill.
The ‘skylight’ refers to the pockets on both sides of the chest of the jacket.
In this era, not many people use wallets. Most of them put larger amounts of cash in these two pockets. It is more convenient for themselves to take it, and it is under their noses and is not easy to be stolen.
Du Fei also didn't expect that someone with no eyesight would actually steal Zhou Peng.
He should also be a Buddha who has just been promoted. Although his skills are up to standard, his experience is still insufficient.
Generally, Buddhas wait for work in places such as train stations, bus stations, hospitals, and post offices.
There are many people from out of town at railway stations and bus stations. If you come to the capital for a business trip, you will definitely be poor and rich.
Not to mention the hospital. Traveling all the way to the capital to see a doctor can save you money.
But there is a principle, which is to keep an eye on outsiders.
For outsiders who are not familiar with the place, even if they find that it has been stolen, they will be confused every day.
As for the post office, it has remittances. The amount is large and enough to feed the people. One payment can last for a year.
The most taboo people are like Zhou Peng.
He is a local and works in a government agency, so he has no personal connections.
There are countless Buddhas in the capital who can "poke through the skylights". If they get caught by someone they can't afford to offend, and they want to arrest them, they will definitely not be able to escape.
Du Fei said hey, "Have you found anyone? They stabbed you a lot."
Less money? "
Zhou Peng glanced at him and snorted, "You are so unkind, you actually take pleasure in others' misfortune! Do you still have any sympathy?"
When Du Fei saw it, he realized that he had lost a lot of money, and the person hadn't been caught yet, so he felt very angry.
He patted Zhou Peng on the shoulder and said without any sincerity, "Okay~ Let's just treat it as a waste of money to prevent disaster. What are you still missing from the three melons and two dates?"
Zhou Peng said in a low voice, "Hey~ I don't care about the money, there is...forget it, you don't understand even after I tell you. In short, it is quite important."
Du Fei did not ask this question again, but instead asked, "Where is the person? Do you have any clues?"
Zhou Peng said, "The police station is looking for him~ He seems to be a kid named Zhou, and he's from the same family as me."
Du Fei said "Oh", but an idea came to his mind, "The surname is Zhou. Zhou Peng said he is a kid. He is only fourteen or fifteen years old. Could it be Zhou Changli?"
While talking, the two of them followed everyone into the backyard.
Arrange the chairs according to the office.
There is a table in front, and someone is fiddling with the microphone and loud speaker.
After more than ten minutes, everyone sat down, and Director Wang came out and started the meeting...
The meeting lasted for more than two hours before it ended.
Du Fei carried the chair and walked back staggeringly.
There were a lot of notes in the notebook he brought, but not much practical information.
But everyone also heard the real meaning.
When it was noon, when we went to the small canteen to eat, many people's faces were uncertain.
Faced with this situation, I felt hesitant.
When it was more than four o'clock in the afternoon, I hadn't gotten off work yet, but Zhu Ting came running in a hurry.
Now Zhu Ting has not been transferred and is still considered a street person.
Zhu Ting looked anxious. As soon as she entered the room, she came to Du Fei and said breathlessly, "Hurry up, come with me to the school. Teacher Chen... Teacher Chen might have had an accident!"
Du Fei was stunned, "Teacher Chen~Chen Fangshi?"
Zhu Ting pulled him, "Which other teacher Chen!"
Du Fei was even more puzzled. Didn't Chen Fangshi let him go to the compound? Could it be that the old man went somewhere else in private?
But there was no time to ask more, so he hurried out with Zhu Ting.
As he went to get the car, he asked what was going on.
Zhu Ting barely controlled her breath and narrated, "Teacher Chen has a graduate student named Kang Dazhong. The teacher treated him like his own son, but he was an ungrateful person! He insisted that Teacher Chen was old and feudal. Yesterday, he brought people to smash the teacher's office, and now the teacher can't be found..."
Du Fei finally understood some of the meaning and hurriedly said, "Hey~ Sister Ting, wait a minute."
Then she told him about Chen Fangshi coming to see him the day before yesterday.
Zhu Ting was stunned, and when she came to her senses, she slapped Du Fei hard, "Why didn't you tell me earlier? I was so scared!"
Du Fei smiled bitterly, "I went out with you yesterday, and I was so happy that I forgot."
Zhu Ting rolled her eyes at him and said quickly, "So, Teacher Chen is now living in the courtyard of Shichahai? Let's go and take a look."
Du Fei said "hmm", and the two of them turned around again.
When they arrived at the place, they saw from a distance that several old men were playing chess under the street trees at the entrance of the courtyard.
One of them was holding a small teapot and standing by the side, sucking the spout of the teapot and gesturing. Isn't it Chen Fangshi!
Zhu Ting was completely relieved and turned her head to smile at Du Fei.
She and Chen Fangshi are not just simple teachers and students.
For so many years, Chen Fangshi is more like an elder relative of Zhu Ting. If something really happened, she dare not think about it.
