Siheyuan: After becoming a traitor, first let the Huai Ru River overflow its banks.

Li Jianjun coughed.

"it's me."

Unfortunately, there was no moon today, and the flashlight beam was only a single beam.

After flashing across Li Jianjun's face, several people ran over and surrounded him in a flash.

"Behave yourself, you still want to run away?"

Two other people restrained his arms to prevent him from resisting.

Li Jianjun was both amused and exasperated.

Just then, Ma Sijiu arrived and immediately recognized Li Jianjun's voice.

Shining a flashlight on Li Jianjun's face, he immediately reprimanded the others.

"Are you all blind? Isn't this Section Chief Li?"

Those workers' picket team members were terrified.

After Li Jianjun was dismissed by Ma 49, he did not blame the others too much.

"Sijiu, why are you cursing them? This just shows how vigilant they are, which is a good thing."

Through this personal experience, Li Jianjun realized just how dedicated his subordinates were.

"Well done, Si Jiu, you're really good at disciplining your subordinates."

"It's just a misunderstanding, so please don't scold everyone."

The members of the workers' picket line scratched their heads sheepishly.

"Section Chief Li, we really didn't mean it."

Li Jianjun didn't take it to heart at all, which precisely demonstrates that Ma Sijiu was skilled at training his subordinates.

"You did the right thing, so why are you embarrassed?"

"After what happened today, I feel very reassured about you all. Keep up the good work, and you'll all have the same opportunities for promotion as Ma Sijiu in the future."

Li Jianjun has only recently become a section chief, but he has already learned to make empty promises to his subordinates.

However, his approachable attitude truly opened the eyes of others.

The former head of the security department was Section Chief Liu, who had a terrible temper and would often lecture people.

According to the security personnel, working under him was a constant source of anxiety.

This newly promoted Section Chief Li has a really good temper.

The promise was very realistic; just look at how Ma Sijiu was promoted to leader of the workers' picket team, and you'll know that Li Jianjun wasn't lying.

"Section Chief Li, we promise to work hard under your guidance."

One of them was a young man in his early twenties who had just started working. He was incredibly excited to see Li Jianjun.

Li Jianjun is only a year older than him, yet Li Jianjun's position skyrocketed to section chief.

This young man has always regarded Li Jianjun as his role model.

"Alright, you guys go ahead and patrol. I'm going back to get some sleep."

The incident caused by Sha Zhu kept Li Jianjun up for two nights in a row.

After arranging his work, Li Jianjun rode his bicycle home, and the night passed uneventfully.

When Li Jianjun woke up the next morning, he felt refreshed; he had slept so well that night.

Thinking back to yesterday's dinner at Yu Haitang's house, her parents were subtly and overtly asking about Li Jianjun's marriage.

Are you looking for a partner now? How's your salary? Is the factory busy?

Yu Haitang eventually got annoyed by the questions.

Their purpose was obvious: they wanted to marry Yu Haitang to Li Jianjun by all means.

At the time, Li Jianjun politely answered a few questions, neither refusing nor agreeing.

However, to the Yu family, it seemed that Li Jianjun had tacitly approved of this.

Meanwhile, at Yu Haitang's home, his parents got up and immediately called out to Yu Haitang.

"Haitang, judging from Li Jianjun's tone, it seems like he hasn't rejected us. How about today, your dad and I go to see your Aunt Zhang and ask her to act as a matchmaker?"

Yu Haitang is a modern woman who advocates free love and hates feudal marriage the most.

"Mom, who would beg someone to introduce them to someone these days? I don't care what others do, I'm going to find someone myself."

Yu Haitang's mother was puzzled.

“If you look for him yourself, aren’t you going to look for Li Jianjun anyway? I’ll have the matchmaker break the ice, won’t that make things easier?”

Although her mother was also an experienced person, she couldn't understand Yu Haitang's thoughts, which were full of new ideas.

"Marriage is just about living life; there's no such thing as love."

Yu Haitang shook Yu Li's arm directly.

"Sis, talk to Mom. She told me to find a partner myself, but now she's still interfering in my life."

"You said you regretted marrying Yan Jiecheng, so what's so good about the person you introduced to me?"

Yu's parents were also angry.

"Alright, alright, then we won't concern ourselves with your business. But let me make this clear, you absolutely must bring me a son-in-law this Spring Festival."

Her mother's words made Yu Haitang immediately realize how heavy the task was.

She's already 22 years old. If she doesn't get married in another two years, she'll be considered an old maid.

Even if someone introduces you to a potential partner, it's unlikely to be a good match; you might end up becoming someone's stepmother.

"Okay, okay, I know what I'm doing."

Chapter 159 Qin Jingru's Gratitude

Yu Haitang washed her face, dressed herself up a little, slung her bag over her shoulder, and left home for work.

Her parents' words made her feel a sense of urgency; it was almost November, and there were less than two months until the Chinese New Year.

Taking down Li Jianjun in such a short time is by no means an easy task.

"Try Harder."

As she stepped out of her house, Yu Haitang let out a soft breath, encouraging herself to keep going.

...

After washing up, Li Jianjun was wondering what to eat when he heard footsteps approaching.

He looked up and saw Qin Jingru.

To be honest, he hadn't seen Qin Jingru for a long time.

Since she was introduced to a successful job, Qin Jingru has indeed worked diligently to clean Director Yang's office, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

Qin Jingru not only cleaned the office, but also served tea and water.

She was naturally clever and beautiful, and soon gained the appreciation of Director Yang.

And she's already received a month's salary.

When Qin Jingru received the money, she was incredibly excited.

If Li Jianjun hadn't introduced her to a job, where would she have gotten so much money?

Qin Jingru is very stingy, but she also knows how to repay kindness.

As soon as she received her salary, Qin Jingru bought a pound of peanut candy and brought it to Li Jianjun to express her gratitude.

After she explained her meaning, Li Jianjun's impression of Qin Jingru changed considerably.

In the original TV series, Qin Jingru was somewhat harsh and power-hungry.

But her action today earned her a lot of points.

“Jingru, I earn more than you now. You finally managed to earn over 20 yuan. Take these things home for your parents to try.”

Qin Jingru became anxious. She knew that Li Jianjun lacked nothing and lived a very wealthy life.

"Jianjun, are you complaining that there aren't enough things?"

The little girl from the countryside was really honest, so Li Jianjun had no choice but to accept her.

Moreover, Qin Jingru was holding a bowl in her hand.

"These are two poached eggs I made, to help you recover."

Eggs are very expensive these days.

Li Jianjun couldn't refuse Qin Jingru's kindness, so he took the bowl and ate it in a few bites.

"Great job, Jingru, your eggs are really good."

It was clearly just a fried egg, but Li Jianjun praised it highly, making Qin Jingru feel as sweet as if she had eaten honey.

"Then try this peanut candy."

Qin Jingru opened the bag, took out a few candies, and handed them to Li Jianjun.

After peeling off the candy wrapper, Li Jianjun put it in his mouth.

Qin Jingru was very satisfied, having accepted the sugar and eaten the eggs.

"Jingru, I've accepted everything. I'm in a hurry to get to work, I'll talk to you when I get back."

But Qin Jingru stood there awkwardly, as if she had something she wanted to say to Li Jianjun.

"What's wrong? Is there anything else?"

Qin Jingru seemed hesitant to speak.

"I... I think I'll pass. You go to work, Jianjun."

Li Jianjun wasn't a curious person to begin with, but Qin Jingru definitely piqued his curiosity.
