Siheyuan: I am a trader in both worlds!

Chapter 300 You are my blessing

"Women are so fickle. You were the one who kept asking me to do this, but now that I've done it, you're unhappy. You even blame me for getting up late. You overslept and you're blaming me? No, how can you blame me for that?"

Ximen Lang, feeling aggrieved after being kicked out of the office by Bai Ling, was muttering to himself.

Upon hearing this, Li Huaide's voice immediately rang out from the side.
"Brother, what's wrong? What happened? Tell me what's wrong, and I'll give you some advice."

Having grabbed Li Huaide's wrist, Ximen Lang began to complain to Li Huaide.

"Brother, you've come at the perfect time! You have no idea how outrageous Bai Ling is! Everyone in the office building knows that I always sleep until I naturally wake up every day!"

"Even when she's awake, she just stays in her room playing video games and absolutely won't do anything productive! Yet she complained to me, saying she got up late because I didn't wake her! Don't you think that's going too far?!"

Seeing that Ximen Lang spoke with such confidence, he didn't feel embarrassed at all.

After looking around, I confirmed that this place was indeed the steel rolling mill's work building.

Li Huaide was speechless.

However, considering that Ximen Lang searched the entire city of Beijing and found only one like her, and at most, Bai Ling's extraordinary status could be added to the equation.
It's flawless!
Li Huaide completely ignored all the criticisms and chatted with Ximen Lang without changing his expression.

However, it was because Ximen Lang's words touched upon Bai Ling, whom Li Huaide least wanted to offend.
Of course, we should still go along with it, but we don't want Li Huaide to side with Ximen Lang completely and unconditionally like before.
We still need to be cautious about this.

The guiding principle is to avoid offending anyone if possible.

It means neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

Li Huaide, whose smoothness was ingrained in his very being, immediately steered the conversation toward Ximen Lang's contributions to the steel mill and to the world of Beijing.

"Based on your contributions to our factory and the entire city of Beijing, let alone just wanting some peace and quiet, you could skip today's shift entirely without a problem! Even if the factory director and the Party Secretary came, they wouldn't say a word against it!"

“I even think that with your contribution, you could compete for the title of outstanding individual in our factory. No, just being an outstanding individual in the factory is definitely not enough! You have to be an outstanding individual nationwide, at the level of a model worker!”

"Only in this way can we be worthy of your efforts and hard work, brother! Really, I'm not exaggerating at all! I've already prepared the report for your application to be recognized as an advanced individual, and we're just waiting for the higher-ups to approve it!"

Believe it or not, Li Huaide's approach actually works quite well.

They directly praised Ximen Lang, who was easily pleased by a little sunshine and prone to overreacting to a little flood, to the skies.

then
Completely swayed by Li Huaide's praise, Ximen Lang couldn't stand the injustice and pounded on the office door to confront Bai Ling!
"Look at Brother Li's judgment, and then look at yourself! We're colleagues on the same floor, how come there's such a huge difference in how we treat people?!"

Good heavens, Li Huaide was so scared that he turned tail and ran outside.

But before he could even run two steps...

squeak~
The office door, which had been tightly closed just moments before, was opened from the inside by Bai Ling.

Just a soft sentence.

"stop."

This startled Li Huaide so much that he stood frozen in place, too terrified to move an inch.

Even Ximen Lang was so intimidated by Bai Ling's powerful aura that he suddenly became obedient.

With a single finger, he nudged Ximen Lang's body and pulled the cowardly Ximen Lang aside.

Bai Ling spoke bluntly to Li Huaide, who was drenched in sweat and whose head was dripping with perspiration.

"Considering you've been relatively upright and haven't relied on your father-in-law's influence to do anything shady, I can let this go if you submit your application honestly and follow the proper procedures. But if it happens again..." "I will definitely apply to be transferred to the most difficult place to support local development!"

"It's good that you know the consequences!"

The conversation was so cryptic that Ximen Lang was completely baffled.

They thought it was because Li Huaide's habit of messing around outside had been exposed.

I'm genuinely worried that having such a compatible friend might ruin his life over something like this.

Ximen Lang quickly spoke up for Li Huaide.

"Bai Ling, Bai Ling, don't be like that, it hasn't come to that. Although my brother has some flaws in his conduct and isn't as virtuous as I am, at least he has never forced anyone or gone against their wishes."

"Also, although this incident had a very negative impact, objectively speaking, he did help many families in need. He was incredibly generous, never delaying in giving what was due. It's rare; it really wasn't that bad." (I feel that Li Huaide's character is quite interesting, so I won't let him leave the show.)
Good heavens, it was an explanation as if they were afraid Li Huaide wouldn't die, which made Li Huaide's knees go weak.

Especially since these words were said in front of Bai Ling!

Startled, Li Huaide quickly took advantage of Bai Ling turning her head away and began waving his hands and bowing, begging for mercy.

This left Ximen Lang completely bewildered.

He was about to ask Li Huaide what he meant, and whether he should continue to persuade him or not.

Bai Ling spoke up.

"Alright, stop defending your cronies. We already knew almost everything about him before he even joined the factory!"

"If it weren't for the fact that he did shed blood and contribute to the liberation of Beijing back then, and that these few unpleasant things weren't so egregious, we would have arrested him long ago. Why would we still have him alive now?"

Too lazy to say anything more to the relieved Li Huaide, he waved his hand and made Li Huaide disappear from his sight.

He stared at Ximen Lang, who had almost ruined his friends, for a long time.

Ximen Lang felt a little uncomfortable under their gaze.

Bai Ling then blurted out something out of the blue.

"Having a friend like you is truly a blessing he earned in his past life."

Then, he didn't give Ximen Lang a chance to get smug again.

Thinking of those people who truly treated me like their own daughter and granddaughter
No, it's a superior who treats him even better than his own daughter or granddaughter.

Bai Ling continued.

"Didn't you bring back a batch of cars this time? Prepare a few for me too. Don't worry about who gets them. But they must be safe, comfortable, and be befitting of a big shot!"

He was also afraid that Ximen Lang wouldn't understand and would ruin the whole thing.

As she was about to finish, Bai Ling added one more sentence.

"You can just tell Yi Yi these requests directly. Just say that the car is something I want and it's a gift for my closest elders. She definitely won't say a word."
