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

Li Jianjun no longer cared about her little vegetable garden.

"Your parents should have finished cooking. Let's go back."

Qin Jingru and Li Jianjun walked hand in hand toward their home.

When they arrived at the Qin family's house, the meal was indeed already prepared.

There were chickens, ducks, wheat flour, and eggs; this was the kind of feast the entire village could offer to honored guests.

Li Jianjun was very grateful to Qin Jingru's parents for everything they had done for him.

Although he and Qin Jingru are currently pretending to be in a romantic relationship, she actually believes it to be real.

Chapter 165 Ran Qiurui is coming to conduct research

“Mom and Dad, you’ve seen the guy I brought along. Jianjun is really outstanding. So please don’t force me to find someone in the countryside.”

"I don't plan to find a husband in the countryside; I want to marry Li Jianjun..."

With such a good son-in-law, the Qin family elders certainly wouldn't introduce him to any other potential partners.

"Alright, alright, whatever you say."

"Jianjun, when you get married, you must keep an eye on this girl. She has a sharp tongue."

Qin Jingru was indeed quick-witted, and Li Jianjun smiled.

"No, I think Jingru is great."

That afternoon, as agreed, Li Jianjun took Qin Jingru back to Beijing from the countryside.

The journey was bumpy, filled with either rushing or dealing with interpersonal relationships, and Li Jianjun felt very tired.

On the way back, Qin Jingru leaned on Li Jianjun's shoulder.

Although it was outside the scope of the agreement, Li Jianjun still couldn't bring himself to remove her head.

After all, Qin Jingru's looks speak for themselves.

……

We finally arrived at the courtyard house at 6 p.m.

After a simple meal, Li Jianjun fell fast asleep.

He had been drinking at Qin Jingru's house, and coupled with his fatigue, his whole body ached.

I have to go to work tomorrow, so I must get through the Safe Production Month safely.

And so the days passed by at a leisurely pace.

October passed in the blink of an eye, and the Safe Production Month also came to an end. Li Jianjun finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

The high-ranking leaders' stay on-site came to an end.

Before leaving, the senior leader specially called Li Jianjun to Director Yang's office and praised him.

"Xiao Yang, we've made it through this Safe Production Month safely. Xiao Li deserves all of that credit."

"Xiao Li is a calm and steady person who knows what he's doing. He's truly an invaluable right-hand man."

Factory Director Yang, like the top leaders, shared similar sentiments.

"Yes, big boss."

"Xiao Li, do a good job in this position. You are the head of the security department at Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill. Many people are eyeing this position."

"I'm the one who promoted you, so you can't let me down."

Li Jianjun stood up and saluted the two leaders.

"Please rest assured, leaders, I will do this job well and not let you down."

The meeting ended quickly, as the top leader still had many things to do.

Li Jianjun left Director Yang's office and was about to leave when Director Yang called him back.

"By the way, Jianjun, Ran Qiurui from the Ministry of Industry said she wants to continue to follow up on the situation at our steel mill. She's been active at the steel mill these days, so I'll trouble your security department to ensure her safety."

"You should cooperate with his work and conduct thorough research."

Ran Qiurui?

The image of that industrial science student immediately came to mind for Li Jianjun.

"Okay, no problem, I guarantee I'll complete the task."

Li Jianjun saluted and conducted research with the beautiful woman, and he was happy to serve her.

As the saying goes, men and women working together makes the work easier.

Not to mention Ran Qiurui, such a stunning beauty?

……

Ministry of Industry.

Zhao Xiaofeng crossed his legs, looked at the application in front of him, and then glanced up at Ran Qiurui.

"Are you really determined to go to Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill for further research?"

Ran Qiurui nodded, still twisting the hem of her clothes in her hands.

Today she changed into a formal suit, trying to hide everything she could, but she still couldn't conceal her slender figure, which made Zhao Xiaofeng drool.

Ran Qiurui is nominally Zhao Xiaofeng's assistant, but in reality, she does far more work than that of an assistant every day.

She not only had to help Zhao Xiaofeng organize his work documents, but also serve him tea and water. Not only was she busy with work, but she also had to spend all day with Zhao Xiaofeng.

Ran Qiurui couldn't stand Zhao Xiaofeng's lecherous gaze.

That old lecher, he's always up to his own agenda.

Even when Ran Qiurui was sleeping, she would keep one eye open, for fear that she would be defiled by this lecherous old man.

Please leave the investigation; this is currently the best way to get rid of Zhao Xiaofeng's harassment.

"The top leaders have already approved it; all that's needed is for Director Zhao to sign it."

Zhao Xiaofeng smiled mysteriously.

"I think your application for research is fake. You just want to get close to the big boss and that girl you introduced to, right?"

"That Li Jianjun is indeed quite good-looking..."

These words, coming from Zhao Xiaofeng's mouth, took on a different meaning, carrying a strong hint of jealousy...

Ran Qiurui puffed out her chest. Even the top leader had signed; he was just being polite. He was just having Zhao Xiaofeng sign something.

Presumably, Zhao Xiaofeng wouldn't dare disobey the orders of the top leader.

"No, I'm doing this research; getting firsthand data is key to writing a good paper..."

Zhao Xiaofeng figured that saying anything more would be pointless, so he simply picked up a pen and signed his name.

If the top leader has already signed it, and he refuses to sign it, then he's openly going against the top leader.

He was still clear about this relationship.

However, with Ran Qiurui's departure, it's possible that things could escalate from stale to passionate and irreconcilable.

"Thank you, Director Zhao."

Ran Qiurui glanced at Zhao Xiaofeng's signature, then left. After leaving the room, she let out a long sigh of relief.

"Finally, I can get rid of this old lecher."

Ran Qiurui blushed at the thought of going to the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill.

Zhao Xiaofeng was right; he did it all for Li Jianjun.

The high-ranking leader is already acting as a matchmaker for her, so she can have open and aboveboard contact with Li Jianjun. What is there to be afraid of?

Although his family background was somewhat high, Li Jianjun didn't seem to mind.

……

On November 2nd, Ran Qiurui took the transfer order and went directly to the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill.

Once she arrived at the factory, Ran Qiurui went straight to find Director Yang.

"Director Yang, this is my research application. Please take a look."

Factory Director Yang didn't even glance at the application form before speaking directly to Ran Qiurui.

“My former boss already told me that your visit to Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill is a good thing.”

“Our Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill needs top students like you. Only by conducting thorough data research and achieving technological breakthroughs can the steel rolling mill fundamentally increase steel production.”

"Xiao Ran, on behalf of the entire Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill, I welcome you."

One sentence made Ran Qiurui feel embarrassed.

"Director Yang, you're exaggerating."

Factory Director Yang simply told him to go find Li Jianjun.

Looking for Li Jianjun?

Factory Director Yang joked with Ran Qiurui.

"Yes, it's the person the big boss introduced you to. Now you two have more opportunities to get to know each other."

Ran Qiurui was still embarrassed.

"Director Yang, I'm doing this for work... for work..."

Director Yang also came here when he was young.

"Haha, I understand. Go on, I've already given the instructions, Li Jianjun is waiting for you in his office."
