……

Kyoto, a bustling area close to the Fourth Ring Road, is home to a number of high-rise buildings full of modern and fashionable elements. However, among these high-rise buildings is a courtyard that looks relatively simple and old, but has a bit of a mysterious flavor.

At the entrance and exit of the main entrance of the compound, like many places, is a tightly closed, electric telescopic door with a guard's room next to the door. However, there is no sign hanging outside the door, and there is no sign in sight.

On the inside of the courtyard wall, lush cypress trees are densely planted, and behind the cypress trees are a dozen tall and lush cedar trees. Through the intertwined branches of these trees, you can vaguely see a six-storey building in the center of the courtyard, and two four-storey houses on the left and right. Judging from the fading fading of the building's façade and windows, the newest of the three buildings is at least 20 years old.

Between several buildings, it is natural to form a parking lot that can accommodate up to forty or fifty cars. In the parking lot, dozens of private cars are parked in an orderly manner......

At eleven o'clock in the morning, Yao Manman, dressed in civilian clothes, drove a white urban off-road vehicle to the gate of this courtyard. She pushed the car door and went outside, pulling her ID from the inside pocket of her trench coat as she walked to the janitor's room.

When the staff in the guard room saw Yao Manman coming, they hurriedly opened a window, smiled at her and greeted her, "Xiao Yao, you're here." ”

"Hello." Yao Manman also nodded with a smile and handed the document in his hand to the staff.

"Wait a minute, it'll be fine soon." The staff opened Yao Manman's ID and placed it under a scanner.

"It's okay, there's no hurry." Yao Manman put a few strands of hair that was blown by the cold wind behind his ears, turned around and returned to the side of the car, opened the trunk, took out a cardboard box, and sent it to the inside of the guard's room along the window, "Here are some medicines for rheumatism, some are oral, and some are external, just go back and let my uncle use it according to the above instructions." ”

"Xiao Yao, ...... you" The staff was stunned for a moment, then looked at Yao Manman and asked, "How do you know our old man......?"

"The last time I came here, I listened to what Director Liu said." Yao Manman said, "These medicines were developed by a very famous old Chinese medicine practitioner and cured many people like my uncle. I asked my friend to bring you half a year's supply, and according to my uncle's current physical condition, six courses of treatment should be about the same. ”

"Xiaoyao, I thank you, and I also thank you for our old man." The staff's faces were filled with a look of gratitude, and a layer of mist appeared in their eyes, "By the way, how much is it in total?" I'll turn back to you. ”

"That's it! Come on! Yao Manman pouted and smiled, "What's the matter, you still think I'm selling wild medicine!?" ”

"It's not." The staff shook their heads with a wry smile, and said with a very resolute attitude, "Officer Yao, I know that you are generous, but if you don't have a lot of money, I won't be polite to you."

In the past few years, I have given our old man a lot of medicine to see a doctor, and all such medicines are not cheap. Half a year's amount, at least 18,000. I have to give you this money, it's okay if you don't say it, I'll set a price myself, it's just 10,000, how much is it. ”

"Say no, don't!" Yao Manman put his hands on the cardboard box, lowered his face and stared at a pair of apricot eyes, "I sue you, if you mention money to me again, believe it or not, I will take it back immediately!" ”

"Don't mind!" The staff knew that it was impossible for Yao Manman to take the medicine away, but he still quickly hugged the carton in his arms, "Okay, I won't give you this money."

However, you asked me to take it like this, and I really didn't want to go. When you have time one day, I will bring my daughter-in-law, as well as the old man and the old lady of our family, to thank you well, and go to eat roast duck, how about it? ”

"I don't like to eat roast duck, it's too greasy." Yao Manman pursed his lips and smiled, "I heard that my uncle's belly burst is very delicious, and when his legs and feet don't hurt anymore, I'll go to your house to eat." ”

"No problem, no problem." The staff nodded again and again, put the cardboard box in his hand aside, and took Yao Manman's documents, "Xiao Yao, I won't say much about thanks, although I don't have any skills, and I can't help you, but if I have a place to use in the future, just say it directly, you can rest assured, I will definitely go to the soup and die." ”

"If you don't give up, how can you be so strict!?" Yao Manman dragged the document over, "Hurry up and open the door for me." ”

"Huh!" The staff picked up the remote control and pressed the button, then walked to the door, stood straight, and watched Yao Manman drive into the compound.

Yao Manman parked the car in order, picked up a file bag placed in the co-pilot's seat and came to the outside of the car, she waved her hand to the staff member who was still standing in the cold wind, and then walked up the steps quickly.

The staff glanced around the door, quietly raised their hands, and gave Yao Manman a standard salute......

The interior of the building is completely different from the outside, and as soon as you enter, you can see a spacious and bright hall with snow-white walls and a mirror-like floor made of black marble. In the middle of the hall is a steel spiral staircase leading to the top floor, not far from which there are several van elevators.

In addition, in the hall and on the stairs, the busy figures coming and going also form a strong contrast with the silence in the courtyard. Although there are men and women among these people, and they are all dressed in casual clothes, through their sharp eyes and vigorous and light steps, you can clearly feel that most of them are more professionally trained......

"Manman." A woman in her thirties walked down the stairs and called out to Yao Manman, who was about to enter the elevator.

"Senpai." Yao Manman hurriedly stopped, turned to greet the woman with a smile and asked, "When did you come back?" ”

"Just came back the day before yesterday." The woman walked over, shook a ticket in her hand in front of Yao Manman's eyes, and said with a bitter face, "No, I just received a notice that a large number of drugs have appeared in the Lucheng area, and these drugs are likely to be related to some local officials, in order to prevent them from favoritism, I have to fly over in the afternoon." ”

"You must be safe." Yao Manman admonished, blinked his eyes and asked, "Senior sister, look at you like this, won't my brother-in-law go with you this time?" ”

"Hmm......" the woman nodded, "He has to help Director Liu deal with some affairs here, and he may arrange other tasks in two days." ”

"Senior sister, I wish you success again." Yao Manman opened his arms and hugged the woman, "Come back in a few days, remember to call me, I will pick you up and celebrate." ”

"Definitely." The woman patted Yao Manman on the shoulder, "Okay, there's something to do with me in the data room, I'll go first, you can go up quickly, Director Liu just made the tea and is waiting for you." ”
