Siheyuan: Game of Red Dust

Chapter 164 Qin Huairu and Liu Haizhong's Conspiracy
The next morning.

When He Yushui woke up, she saw Zhou Xiaolin and the other girls surrounding her and looking at her. She quickly sat up and said to Zhou Xiaolin and the others:

"Sisters, hello! I'm He Yushui. Don't blame Brother Dong. I took the initiative."

After saying this, he lowered his head in shame. After all, he had destroyed someone else's family.

Zhou Xiaolin stepped forward and comforted He Yushui:

"Sister Yushui, it's not your fault. It's all because of Brother Dong's charm. We were all attracted to him. After meeting him, we no longer have any interest in others. We all understand how you feel."

The other women also came to comfort He Yushui. After a while, they became close friends.

Li Wei had just finished making breakfast when he called Zhongyu to eat. After dinner, everyone went back to work. Li Weidong, on the other hand, went to run the transfer procedures for He Yushui and Liang Ladi. He Yushui and Liang Ladi were transferred to the 011 Research Institute.

The next day after completing the formalities, He Yushui and Liang Ladi came to work at the institute.

Another month and a half passed, and Zhou Xiaolin and her daughters all gave birth, all sons. Li Weidong named the children.

Zhou Xiaolin's son is called Li Wuyi, Wang Xinyi's son is called Li Wunian, Yang Ruoxi's son is called Li Wudao, Chen Xueru's son is called Li Wuwei, and Xu Huizhen's son is called Li Wutan.

After the confinement period, Li Weidong took Zhou Xiaolin and other girls and their newborn children to Tianjin.

After Zhou Xiaolin and others were settled, they entered the shipyard and began to build battleships.

Battleships are large-tonnage naval vessels primarily equipped with large-caliber artillery and heavy armor protection. They are also called battleships or capital ships. They are the symbol of "big ship, big gun" doctrine.

Battleships were primarily used to attack and destroy large enemy vessels in order to seize control of the sea. Their heavy firepower also allowed them to serve as artillery batteries, attacking important enemy shore targets or supporting landing operations.

After World War II, with the emergence of aircraft carriers, battleships gradually withdrew from the stage of history, and most battleships were announced to be retired or dismantled.

Because of the electromagnetic railgun, Li Xin and his superiors decided to re-equip the battleship.

Li Weidong designed a battleship with four 406mm triple-mounted electromagnetic railguns as main guns and four twin-mounted 127mm electromagnetic railguns as secondary guns. It is equipped with various air defense weapons, including anti-aircraft missiles and electromagnetic close-in anti-aircraft defense guns.

The ship has been equipped with electronic systems and air search radars, and a helicopter landing pad is located at the stern of the ship, which can accommodate three armed anti-submarine helicopters.

Li Weidong officially launched the battleship project. Except for the personnel who modified the frigates, everyone joined the battleship project.

Li Weidong planned to complete the construction of the first battleship within two years, followed by two more within the next three years. The shipyard began to bustle with activity. Zhou Xiaolin and others, after recovering from their illnesses, joined the shipyard to provide follow-up support for Li Weidong and his team. Chen Xueru and Xu Huizhen stayed home to take care of the children.

……

The Revolutionary Committee of the Sijiucheng Steel Mill had been established. Deputy Director Li had become its chairman, and Director Yang had been ousted by Deputy Director Li. The steel mill had become a place where Deputy Director Li had the final say.

Qin Huairu's position rose due to her relationship with Deputy Director Li and she became the team leader of the Revolutionary Committee.

That day, Liu Haizhong found Qin Huairu in the courtyard.

"Huai Ru, can you talk to Director Li and arrange a small leadership position for me, the first uncle? You know me. I am loyal to Director Li! Besides, people like Xu Damao have become leaders. I must be better than Xu Damao. After all, I have been a management uncle for so many years. In terms of management experience and ability, I must be better than Xu Damao." Liu Haizhong, the former second uncle and now the first uncle, said flatteringly.

Qin Huairu rolled her eyes and said to the second uncle, "Uncle Yi, there's no point in me telling you this. You have to show Director Li some results. Otherwise, how will Director Li know your ability? Don't you agree, Uncle Yi?"

The second uncle pondered for a moment. "Yes!" Qin Huairu said, "Huairu, you know me. I do have the ability, but I don't have the opportunity! Can you help me find an opportunity? I'll show Director Li how capable I am."

Qin Huairu smiled sweetly and said, "Master, the opportunity is right in front of you. You know Lou Xiao'e, right? She's the daughter of the wealthy capitalist Lou Zhenhua. She must be hiding a lot of good stuff. All you have to do is find someone to arrest her, criticize her, and search her house. Wouldn't that be a great achievement? Forget about becoming a minor official. If you do well, maybe Director Li will promote you to deputy director. That's also possible."

After hearing Qin Huairu's words, Liu Haizhong showed a look of desire in his eyes, but when he thought that Lou Xiao'e was transferred by Li Weidong, he became hesitant.

"Huai Ru, Lou Xiao'e was transferred by Li Weidong. If we arrest Lou Xiao'e, will that provoke Li Weidong? I heard that Li Weidong is a high-ranking official!"

"Hey! Uncle, you are overthinking it. We are only arresting the daughter of the big capitalist Lou Zhenhua, not Li Weidong. Can Li Weidong go against the country for Lou Xiaoe? We are here to share the country's worries! What could be the problem?" Qin Huairu said to Liu Haizhong with a smile to comfort him.

Liu Haizhong then smiled and said, "That's right. Then I'll ask around to find out where Lou Xiao'e is. Then I'll bring people over."

"Hey! The old man still knows how to do things in moderation. How does that saying go?

Know yourself and the enemy, and you will be safe in a hundred battles!
"Master, this is the style of a great general!"

Qin Huairu said flatteringly to Liu Haizhong.

"Haha, Huairu, you're still good at talking! Okay, I'll go find someone to ask and see where she is."

Liu Haizhong said this with a smile and then stood up and left.

After Qin Huairu waited for Liu Haizhong to leave, the friendly smile on his face instantly disappeared, revealing a cold expression. He gritted his teeth and muttered in a low voice:
"Li Weidong! Aren't you self-righteous? Others may not know, but how could I not know about your relationship with Lou Xiaoe?
Although I can't deal with you now, it's no problem for me to deal with Lou Xiao'e, the daughter of a big capitalist, to vent my anger. I wonder if you can still look down on me from a high position?
I, Qin Huairu, will definitely make you regret it! Let’s start with Lou Xiaoe!

Qin Huairu felt relieved when she thought of Lou Xiaoe being arrested and Li Weidong's anxious look.

"Didn't you say I only have a pretty face? Look at my pretty face, can it bring you nightmares?
Don't worry, this is just the first step. I will slowly start with the people around you and make you lose your wife and children, and destroy your family!"
