Chapter 172 Accident
In the afternoon, I personally delivered some fresh cherries to some important friends and they were all deeply moved.

"Sending goose feathers from a thousand miles away is a light gift but a heavy gift."

His kindness caught some people off guard.

Security Department of Red Star Factory.

"Xiao Zhou, come to my office for a moment."

Back in the office of Red Star Factory, Liu Zhiye called Zhou Weiguo.

"Leader, are you looking for me?" Xiao Zhou was so excited when he saw Liu Zhiye.

Liu Zhiye smiled and nodded, motioning Xiao Zhou to sit down and talk.

"How is the work in our department going lately? Are there any problems?"

Zhou Weiguo responded quickly: "Leader, everything is normal in our security department, please rest assured!" His words were concise and clear, full of confidence and determination.

He paused, then continued: "That is..." His voice was calm, but it clearly reached Liu Zhiye's ears.

Liu Zhiye frowned and asked impatiently, "What is it? Why are you hesitating?"

Zhou Weiguo glanced at Liu Zhiye's face and said cautiously, "That's right. We haven't seen you for a long time. We all feel unmotivated to do anything..."

"You're so good, Zhou Weiguo. After not seeing you for a few days, your ability to flatter has improved a lot!" Liu Zhiye scolded with a smile.

Hearing this, Zhou Weiguo argued anxiously, "Leader, you can't wrongly accuse a good person. If you don't believe me, you can go and check to see if what I, Zhou Weiguo, said is true or not, or if I am making it up."

Liu Zhiye frowned and criticized Zhou Weiguo seriously: "Are you telling the truth? Well, let me ask you. Is this job for me, Liu Zhiye, alone? The job can't be done without me? This kind of thinking is unacceptable. How do you lead a team?" His tone revealed his rigor in work and the importance he attached to team spirit.

Zhou Weiguo was scolded and wanted to slap himself in the face. He was really talking about something irrelevant. He was deliberately making things difficult for himself! He was secretly annoyed and felt that he was really stupid.

Liu Zhiye scolded him, then took out the car keys and threw them to him: "Don't pretend here, and reflect on it when you go back. Here are my car keys. Take a few comrades with you to move the cherries out of the car and distribute them to the comrades in the department."

When Zhou Weiguo heard this, his eyes lit up immediately and he said excitedly, "That's great! On behalf of all the comrades in the office, I would like to thank the leaders for this kind gesture."

After seeing Zhou Weiguo off, Liu Zhiye sighed helplessly and picked up the phone on the table. He dialed the number, looking a little tired.

"Hello! Connect to the logistics department."

"Lao Lu, it's me. Well, let's meet at the usual place after get off work."

After hanging up the phone, he then called Li Huaide.

"Hello! Director Li? It's me, Liu Zhiye. Are you free in the evening? I would like to visit you at home. Is that convenient for you?" Liu Zhiye said politely.

Li Huaide, who was on the other side of the phone, was stunned when he heard the words. He thought, "What is this person talking about that he can't tell you now? Why does he specially come to my house?"

However, he did not care, but invited enthusiastically: "Comrade Zhiye, if you do not mind my humble abode, we will certainly give you a warm welcome!"

"Okay! It's settled!" Liu Zhiye then hung up the phone.

After get off work, Liu Zhiye gave two baskets of cherries to Lu Dachuan. Lu Dachuan was very happy because his wife liked to eat this fruit very much. Unfortunately, the cherries are not on the market yet, and the cherries in Liu Zhiye's hometown are the first to mature.

Afterwards, they said goodbye.

Liu Zhiye sent the cherries to the homes of Director Bai, Director Jiang and other leaders. Since several leaders had not returned yet, he briefly exchanged a few words with their families and then left.

Finally, he came to Li Huaide's house according to the address.

Li Huaide's home is in "Baiwanzhuang" in Xicheng District, and he has not yet moved into the factory staff housing building.

Baiwanzhuang is located on the west side of Exhibition Road in Xicheng District. It was built a few years ago and is one of the earliest residential communities built in New China.

The location here roughly refers to the area west of Erligou, east of Sanlihe, south of Chegongzhuang, and north of Baiwanzhuang Street.

This place was designated as the western suburbs office area, and state agencies such as the Ministry of Construction and the Foreign Language Bureau were built in Baiwanzhuang.

In order to solve the housing problem of employees of these two state organs, a supporting residential area was built in Baiwanzhuang, including nine areas, namely Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei and Shen, as well as Baiwanzhuang Zhongli, covering a total area of ​​21.09 hectares.

Most of the first generation residents of Baiwanzhuang came from surrounding ministries and agencies, such as aviation, construction, machinery, metallurgy, the State Planning Commission, etc.

The most mysterious of these is the Shen District.

In Blood Romance, Shen District of Baiwanzhuang was described as follows: "Shen District is simply the soul of Baiwanzhuang. It is a high-end residential area with two-story buildings, and the lowest level of residents there is a deputy ministerial-level cadre."

Liu Zhiye drove to the end of the district and saw a three-story red brick building in front of him, which showed a strong Soviet architectural style. He walked to the west unit on the second floor of unit one and knocked on the door.

"Knock!" "Knock!" "Knock!" After the knocks on the door, "I'm coming!" a crisp female voice responded.

The door creaked open, and a delicate-looking lady in her 30s asked, "Comrade, who are you looking for?" As she spoke, she looked Jiu Zhiye up and down.

Liu Zhiye smiled and said, "Hello, comrade! Is this Director Li Huaide's home?"

The woman suddenly realized: "You must be Director Liu! Please come in, my husband, Mr. Li, has greeted me."

Liu Zhiye nodded and said, "Sorry to bother you!" and followed Zhen Jiang into the house.

"Hi! You're welcome!" Zhen Jiang introduced herself enthusiastically: "I'm his lover, Zhen Jiang."

"You are welcome to visit my home."

"Please sit down and have some tea!" Zhen Jiang called him.

Liu Zhiye smiled and asked, "Thank you, I can do it myself. Is Director Li back?"

Zhen Jiang replied: "Yes, he is back. My sister is coming over in the evening, so I asked him to pick her up first."

"Oh, OK, Sister Zhen, I'll get some things from the car." Her husband was the only one at home, and it was a bit awkward for a man and a woman to be alone. He quickly made an excuse to slip out.

After going downstairs, he started wandering around the neighborhood.

The eight districts on the east and west sides of Baiwanzhuang are all three-story buildings with sloping roofs. Most of them were once the residences of ordinary cadres and employees of ministries and commissions after the establishment of New China.

It is surrounded by a circle, and then extends into the interior of the block and circles around again. This "double perimeter" model makes fuller use of the site.

Only the residential area for senior cadres in Shen District, which is protected by the guard, adopts the form of two-story terraced buildings with sloping roofs. This small-scale determinant is hidden in the middle of the community and does not affect the overall planning structure.

The north side is the entrance, the south side is the garden, and all the houses are oriented north-south. This higher standard of living is intended to distinguish it from other blocks and form a level of difference.

……

After strolling for a while, he felt that the time was about right, so he took out two baskets of cherries and went back to Li Huaide's house.

Knock again.

Sure enough, Li Huaide has returned.

Li Huaide was very happy after meeting Liu Zhiye.

"Where have you been? Didn't you come early?"

Liu Zhiye explained: "Hi! I remembered that I didn't bring up the gift for you, so I went downstairs to get it, and took a walk around your community. While I was walking around, I actually forgot the time." He said with a smile, his tone relaxed.

Li Huaide cast his eyes towards the two baskets of cherries and couldn't help but sigh: "Wow! We can eat cherries so early?"

He excitedly called out to Zhen Jiang: "Wife, little sisters, come and see, here are your favorite cherries!" His voice was full of joy and anticipation.

Zhen Jiang and her younger sister were busy cooking in the kitchen. Her younger sister asked curiously, "Sister, do you have guests at your house tonight?"

Zhen Jiang replied: "He's a colleague of your brother-in-law. It's his first time coming to our house tonight. I think this guy is really handsome!" Then she sighed.

The younger sister said helplessly: "Oh! If I had known, I wouldn't have come." After that, she didn't ask any more questions and was obviously not interested in the visitor.

She stood there silently, with a cold expression, as if she had no interest in anything.

At this moment, they heard Li Huaide excitedly calling them and mentioned that there were cherries. The two of them looked at each other and walked out of the kitchen happily.

Zhen Jiang said: "Little sister! Let me introduce you, this is..."

"No need, I know this person!" Jenny responded coldly.

Zhen Jiang: ???
Li Huaide: ???

Liu Zhiye looked up and found Zhen Ni was here. He couldn't help but exclaimed in his heart: "Oh my god, do you want to play with me like this?"

So, he greeted Jenny awkwardly and said, "Hi! Comrade Jenny, long time no see!"
