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

After listening to Li Jianjun's words, Lou Xiao'e suddenly had a profound realization.

"You know what, Jianjun, what you said actually makes a lot of sense. How come I didn't think of that?"

"That old woman is absolutely despicable."

"They cornered me in the house, and I really couldn't explain myself even if I had eight mouths. Luckily, they didn't send me to jail."

"Luckily, neither Sha Zhu nor I are hurt."

Lou Xiao'e broke out in a cold sweat.

"I never expected that this old lady would have such a plan."

Li Jianjun looked at Lou Xiao'e, who was covered in a cold sweat, and patted her on the shoulder to comfort her.

"Sister-in-law Xiao'e, don't be too scared. That's just the kind of person the old lady is. Just be careful around her in the future."

Lou Xiao'e gave Li Jianjun a grateful look.

"Brother, thank you so much. If it weren't for you, Xu Damao would definitely have been relentlessly attacking me today."

Li Jianjun didn't take it seriously.

"It's alright, Sister Xiao'e, it's nothing."

"If you ever need my help in the future, just come and let me know."

After having dinner at his house, Lou Xiao'e returned to his and Xu Damao's home.

Xu Damao had already left, and Lou Xiao'e sat in the main room, contemplating her life.

It seems that Xu Damao absolutely refuses to undergo that medical examination.

This further confirms what Li Jianjun said: Xu Damao must be sick.

However, Lou Xiao'e couldn't keep going like this with him.

If all else fails, we'll talk to Xu Damao when he gets back tonight and get a divorce.

To prevent a repeat of today's situation.

...

Meanwhile, Xu Damao was on his way to show a movie.

He rode his bike, carrying his movie projector equipment, muttering curses under his breath.

"That damned old woman, I'll kill her one day."

……

After Li Jianjun and Lou Xiao'e returned to her home, they went to work.

As he walked in the courtyard, many people greeted him, and Li Jianjun responded warmly to me.

He's never been one to put on airs.

Sha Zhu's apprentice, Ma Hua, also followed Li Jianjun outside.

"Deputy Section Chief Li, you're going to work? I'll go with you."

Li Jianjun certainly didn't mind; he could tell that MCA was deliberately trying to curry favor with him.

These days, ever since he took charge of the workers' pickets, MCA has been fawning over him.

The two walked together to the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill. The distance from the residential compound to the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill was not far.

The two of them walked along chatting and laughing, completely unaware of the vicious gaze emanating from behind them.

That gaze came directly from Sha Zhu.

After leaving the deaf old lady's house, Sha Zhu went straight home.

Jia Zhangshi was furious, and after arriving home, she started arguing with him again.

"Shazhu, explain yourself clearly. Are you also willing to share a room with Lou Xiao'e?"

"I think you deliberately locked the old lady in the room." Sha Zhu was also angered. He didn't want to marry Jia Zhangshi in the first place, and now Jia Zhangshi was making a fuss, which completely crossed his bottom line.

"If you, Jia Zhangshi, cause me any more trouble, believe me, I'll divorce you?"

Jia Zhangshi was no pushover either, and she immediately took a hard line against him.

Chapter 69 Silly Pillar Manipulates the MCA

"Divorce? You want to divorce me? I was just giving you face, afraid others would laugh at me."

“As long as I’m determined not to divorce you, you won’t be able to get a divorce. If you divorce me, I’ll tell everyone all the shameful things you’ve done.”

"And everyone saw you and Lou Xiao'e locked in the house today. If you really want a divorce, I'll report you to the neighborhood committee."

Jia Zhangshi had a knack for manipulating Sha Zhu.

Sha Zhu was also intimidated by Jia Zhangshi on the spot; this old woman was ruthless, more ruthless than anyone else.

Sha Zhu can't compete with her; at least he still has a job.

If things go wrong, I'll lose my job, and everything will be ruined in the future.

"Fine, you win."

After Sha Zhu and Jia Zhangshi finished arguing, Sha Zhu prepared to go to work at the factory.

As I walked through the courtyard, I looked up and saw Li Jianjun and his apprentice Ma Hua walking side by side.

In Sha Zhu's view, his apprentice Ma Hua was getting too close to Li Jianjun.

He listened from behind the whole way, listening to what Ma Hua and Li Jianjun were saying. Ma Hua seemed so sycophantic and fawning over Li Jianjun.

This made Sha Zhu feel very uncomfortable.

Back in the day, when MCA was his apprentice, wasn't he just trying to curry favor with Silly Chu to learn the trade?

In order to learn the craft, Ma Hua has been trying to curry favor with Sha Zhu all these years, constantly following Sha Zhu around and calling him "Master" this and "Master" that.

Seeing that MCA is now currying favor with Lee Jian Jun, Sha Zhu must be feeling really bad.

No wonder those women can't stand the way their lapdogs treat them.

If a man who has been licking a woman for a long time suddenly stops and starts licking other women, it will inevitably cause that woman to feel a deep sense of loss.

That's Sha Zhu's current mindset.

What makes Li Jianjun so special? He's just a deputy section chief in the security department. He acts like he's something special.

Sha Zhu is currently the head chef of the second canteen, and in the future, he will be the director of the catering department of the entire Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill, directly on par with Li Jianjun.

“The MCA is short-sighted; they only see this much.”

Listening to their humorous conversation from behind, Sha Zhu gritted his teeth and said fiercely.

After finally arriving at the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill, Li Jianjun went to the security department, and then Ma Hua went to the kitchen.

Not long after he arrived, Sha Zhu also came to the kitchen.

When MCA saw Siu Chu, they greeted him, but Siu Chu had a cold expression on his face, as if he didn't want to talk to MCA at all.

This left the MCA (Malaysian Chinese Association) feeling quite puzzled.

Why is my master suddenly ignoring me?

Ma Hua was completely baffled. He leaned against the door frame and watched Sha Zhu busy himself, but he ignored him.

Liu Lan patted Ma Hua on the shoulder.

"Hey young man, what are you thinking about?"

Ma Hua pulled Liu Lan aside.

"I don't know what happened either. Today, I came to Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill with Deputy Section Chief Li from the Security Department. My master didn't say anything after he saw me."

“I tried to talk to him just now, but he ignored me.”

Liu Lan asked a question.

"Is that Deputy Section Chief Li Jianjun?"

"Yes, that's him."

"You're overthinking it, Ma Hua. He's your mentor. Who else would he talk to if not you?"

Liu Lan also envied that MCA had a good mentor.

The morning passed quickly, and the workers went home one after another to eat. Some even took several meals home to feed their wives.

Time flew by, and in the afternoon, Ma Hua and the fat chef were plotting something together.

“Ma Hua, you’ve been hanging around with Li Jianjun these past few days, which has really angered your master. No wonder your master doesn’t even look at you properly.”

These words were like a wake-up call; Ma Hua seemed to suddenly realize something.

"So this morning when Deputy Section Chief Li and I came to work, we walked to the office side by side. Director Li is actually a very nice person."

MCA realized they had said the wrong thing.

The deed is done, and there's no use in regretting it now. MCA has decided to be more careful with its words in the future.

Although Li Jianjun is now a deputy section chief with considerable power, Sha Zhu is no less formidable; he is directly Ma Hua's superior.

Offending Li Jianjun could land you in jail, while offending Sha Zhu would make things difficult for you.

In any case, the MCA is now in a dilemma.

"Don't think about that, buddy. It'll be afternoon soon, time to get ready for dinner."

Ma Hua listened to Liu Lan's advice and realized there was more to it than met the eye.

He is currently the head chef at Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill, and if nothing goes wrong, he will become the director of the canteen department in the future. He can't afford to offend either side.

It was soon dinnertime, and there were only a few workers scattered around the canteen. Most of the workers with families had already gone home.

Ma Hua had finished all his work, and only then did he remember that Li Jianjun really liked chicken stew with mushrooms.

There just happened to be such a dish in the cafeteria. After Ma Hua saw that his master, Sha Zhu, had finished making it, there was still a plate of chicken stew with mushrooms left.

Without hesitation, Ma Hua put the remaining half-bowl of chicken stew with mushrooms into his food box.
