Courtyard House: She got anxious when He Yushui wasn't licked.

To make a strong first impression in the purchasing department!

Wang Lin must achieve something.

Liu Zhengdao went to arrange a truck, driver, and security personnel for Wang Lin.

When purchasing large quantities of supplies, the security personnel would always bring Q along. In this era, it's not exactly peaceful, but it's not exactly peaceful either. As the saying goes, "Poor mountains and bad waters breed unruly people."

Wang Lin rode his bicycle to Fang Yue's house first, explained the situation to Fang Yue, packed some of her personal belongings, and then moved into Wang Lin's house for a short stay.

Fang Yue was already bored at home, spending all her time reading and studying. Now that she was at Wang Lin's house, she could secretly look at the colorful comics that Wang Lin had shown her.

Before leaving, Wang Lin left about ten days' worth of food for the family: instant noodles, milk, and biscuits, all hidden in the two children's room, so that Fang Yue could cook for them on time.

Fang Yue may not be good at much else, but she can cook a couple of dishes. Besides, girls are meticulous, so Wang Lin trusts her with the two little ones. Moreover, Chen Amao will help out, so there shouldn't be any major problems.

After arranging things at home, Wang Lin rode his bicycle back to the factory.

The round trip took more than an hour, almost until lunchtime.

When Wang Lin returned to the purchasing department, Li Tang generously invited him to have dinner in the cafeteria.

Unable to refuse Li Tang's hospitality, Wang Lin had no choice but to go to the cafeteria with him.

With so many employees at the Third Steel Rolling Mill, there couldn't possibly be only one canteen. He Yuzhu's canteen was the Second Canteen. There was also a First Canteen, but everyone preferred to eat at the Second Canteen, since He Yuzhu's cooking skills were indeed excellent.

Coincidentally, the restaurant Li Tang brought Wang Lin to was the second canteen, which was run by Chef He Yuzhu.

Upon entering the canteen, one could see many factory workers already lining up for their meals, with the most popular items being steamed buns and stir-fried cabbage.

Li Tang led Wang Lin to Liu Lan's window and called out to her with a smile, "Sister Lan, we're here to get our food."

Liu Lan looked up and saw Li Tang. Then she saw that the handsome young man next to him was the same one from last time. She teased Li Tang, "You little rascal, why did you come to my window to get food today? Did you offend the cook again?"

Li Tang said aggrievedly, "Sister Lan, I brought my brothers to take care of your window. I know you wouldn't have a shaky hand."

Liu Lan rolled her eyes at Li Tang and started serving him food. As for the other employees in line, she ignored them arrogantly, and surprisingly no one objected. Perhaps they didn't want to offend the cook.

Indeed, it seems to be an unspoken rule in the cafeteria that the cooks' hands tremble when serving food. They scoop out a big spoonful, then shake it around and shake it, and you're lucky if half of it ends up in your bowl.

Liu Lan served plenty of food, without putting on any special food-serving act for the two of them, which is why Li Tang came to Liu Lan to get food.

Wang Lin only ordered two steamed buns. As for the other dishes, it wasn't that he didn't like them, but the taste was really not good, so he didn't order them.

Li Tang prepared a little meat, which was minced meat stir-fried with cabbage.

Minced meat with cabbage is a pretty good dish; at least it's oily enough.

At first, Li Tang thought Wang Lin was just embarrassed to eat, but when Wang Lin took out some braised beef from his pocket, he realized that Wang Lin didn't care for this little bit of meat at all.

With braised beef and steamed buns, who would still eat minced meat stir-fried with cabbage!

Wang Lin did not keep the beef to himself; he shared it with Li Tang.

After eating Wang Lin's braised beef, Li Tang felt that all the meat he had eaten before was a waste.

Chapter 64 Xu Damao's First Encounter with Yu Haitang

"Wang Lin, what a coincidence!"

Someone patted Wang Lin on the shoulder from behind. When Wang Lin turned around, he was surprised to see Yu Haitang.

Yu Haitang truly lived up to her reputation as the most beautiful woman in the factory; wherever she went, the male employees' eyes widened in astonishment.

Of course, Wang Lin wouldn't spoil the mood by saying, "We're in the same factory, so we always encounter this kind of talk. People with high emotional intelligence would say, 'Yes! We have a deep connection.'"

Yu Haitang sat down casually, and at the same time reached out to take the braised beef from in front of Wang Lin, acting as if they were not strangers at all.

Seeing how familiar Yu Haitang and Wang Lin were, Li Tang assumed they were in a romantic relationship. He stared at Wang Lin with great admiration and said, "Brother Wang Lin! You're amazing! She's the factory beauty, the dream girl of countless male employees, and you actually won her over."

"Everyone says I'm the factory beauty, but I don't think so myself. I'm just an ordinary girl." Yu Haitang smiled even more brightly when she heard Li Tang praise her like that.

Wang Lin did not acquiesce, stating directly, "Li Tang, Yu Haitang and I are just ordinary friends, not what you think."

Li Tang glanced at Wang Lin and then at Yu Haitang. He had assumed the two were dating, given their good looks. But since Wang Lin denied it, he could only apologize, saying, "It's my fault, I didn't ask clearly."

Yu Haitang said without minding, "Recently, many male employees in the factory have wanted to befriend me and date me, but I don't like any of them. In order not to bother them to death, it would be nice to find someone to date."

Having said that, Yu Haitang didn't mind if some gossip spread about her with Wang Lin at the factory, so that no one would bother her like flies buzzing around.

Wang Lin pretended not to understand and didn't respond. Yu Haitang wasn't his ideal type, so of course he wouldn't take the initiative to provoke this hot potato.

Although Li Tang understood what was going on, he couldn't openly remind Wang Lin because Yu Haitang was there. He couldn't very well say, "The girl is being so proactive, it would be unmanly of you not to agree."

Yu Haitang knew that Wang Lin had no intention of dating her at all, and she couldn't help but feel disappointed.

Could it be that Wang Lin already has someone else in his heart? Is it He Yushui or someone else?

Wang Lin didn't pay much attention to Yu Haitang's feelings. They were just ordinary friends, and there was no need to get too close. So he simply ignored the disappointment written on Yu Haitang's face.

Li Tang saw everything and couldn't help but admire Wang Lin's attitude. He remained unmoved even when Yu Haitang, such a young and beautiful girl, was pursuing him. He was truly a role model for everyone!

"Wang Lin!"

At this moment, Xu Damao, a man with a horse-like face, came over carrying a boxed lunch.

Wang Lin looked up and saw Xu Damao. A mysterious smile appeared on his lips. Given Xu Damao's personality, how could he not be attracted to Yu Haitang after meeting her?

The moment Xu Damao saw Yu Haitang, he was captivated by the youthful and beautiful girl before him, and couldn't take his eyes off her. He casually asked, "This must be our factory's beautiful and sweet-voiced announcer, Comrade Yu Haitang, right?"

"Who are you?" Yu Haitang saw Xu Damao staring at her blatantly. Although this guy was just like the other employees, he was good at talking and had a lot of courage.

"Hello, Comrade Yu Haitang! I'm Xu Damao from the projection department. I'm in charge of showing movies in the countryside." Xu Damao extended his hand and introduced himself.

"Hello, hello." Yu Haitang didn't refuse Xu Damao's request and took the initiative to shake hands with him to get acquainted.

The moment Xu Damao grasped Yu Haitang's hand, he thought to himself, "These little hands are so smooth! If I could just kiss them, I'd gladly give up ten years of my life."

At this moment, Xu Damao, the scumbag, could only think of censored images.

Li Tang didn't have a good impression of Xu Damao. This guy stared at Yu Haitang from the moment he arrived and even took the initiative to befriend her, clearly trying to steal her away. Li Tang hated this kind of person the most, so he quietly asked Wang Lin next to him, "Is this guy your friend?"

Wang Lin replied, "He's a neighbor in the same courtyard, but he's already married."

"He's married!" Li Tang was speechless. So Xu Damao, who was already married, was still messing around in the factory. Didn't he have any fear of death?

Although their conversation wasn't loud, Yu Haitang still heard it. She thought she had gained another admirer, but it turned out he was a married man. Instantly, she lost interest and withdrew her hand, becoming noticeably colder towards Xu Damao.

Xu Damao glanced at Li Tang. He didn't know Li Tang's background yet, so he didn't make a move rashly. Wang Lin revealed that he was married, which made it much more difficult for him to get close to Yu Haitang. He couldn't help but complain to himself about why Wang Lin brought this up. Did he not want him to date Yu Haitang?

Although he and Wang Lin had a decent relationship, if anyone stood in the way of his womanizing, not even his own brother would do it! That's Xu Damao for you.

Wang Lin knew Xu Damao's character well. If he were to steal Yu Haitang's love, he would probably make things difficult for him. Besides, Yu Haitang and Xu Damao were destined to be together.

Yu Haitang always took the initiative to talk to Wang Lin about various topics, and Wang Lin would always give brief answers.

Xu Damao also tried to join the conversation, but Yu Haitang ignored him. However, he was thick-skinned and didn't care whether he answered or not; he was determined to keep pestering her.

After Wang Lin finished his steamed bun in a few bites, he clapped his hands and said to Li Tang, "We're done eating, let's go."

Li Tang clapped his hands as he stuffed the last piece of braised beef into his mouth; he wasn't going to let someone else have the meat for nothing.

Xu Damao hadn't eaten many slices of braised beef, and his face showed some unsatisfaction.

Yu Haitang looked at Wang Lin and Li Tang and asked curiously, "Where are you two going?"

Wang Lin replied, "I'm a purchasing agent, so naturally I'm responsible for sourcing supplies for the factory."

"Purchasing agent! Wang Lin, you're really amazing." Yu Haitang thought Wang Lin would become a fitter at Volkswagen after joining the factory, but she didn't expect him to be able to become a purchasing agent. For Haitang, the more outstanding Wang Lin was, the more satisfied she would be. As for whether she could win him over, that would depend on her scheming.

In this day and age, if you get someone drunk and put them to sleep, they're definitely not going to escape.

However, Wang Lin was very vigilant, so this method was probably impossible. Therefore, Yu Haitang was still racking her brains for other countermeasures.

Seeing that Wang Lin and Li Tang were about to leave, Xu Damao intended to keep Yu Haitang with him, saying, "Comrade Yu Haitang, let's continue eating."

Yu Haitang glanced at the minced meat and cabbage that Xu Damao had prepared. Compared to Wang Lin's braised beef, the difference was too great. She smiled and refused Xu Damao, saying, "You can eat it slowly by yourself."

Xu Damao understood. Yu Haitang had exceptionally high standards and was definitely not the type to gain an advantage with just two steamed buns. He needed to play the long game and wasn't in a hurry to keep Yu Haitang around.

Wang Lin left with Li Tang, and Yu Haitang also left.

Xu Damao sat down alone and continued to eat his steamed bun.

At a food serving window, He Yuzhu took in everything that happened.

He seemed to vaguely recognize the name Yu Haitang. He had often heard his sister, He Yushui, mention it, and she even jokingly said she would introduce her to him. At the time, he thought that it was definitely not suitable for his sister to be her classmate. But now that he had met her in person, she was youthful and beautiful, no less so than Qin Jingru. It seemed like it would be nice to be able to date her.

At this moment, He Yuzhu also became a womanizer; the widows he could see but not have were no longer enough to satisfy his needs.

"Silly Zhu! Get me some food."

Some employees urged He Yuzhu to get the food, but He Yuzhu was still lost in thought, so he simply told his apprentice Ma Hua behind him to get the food, saying, "Ma Hua! Come and get the food."

"Coming!" Ma Hua, who had just finished his work and was taking a break, immediately ran over to take over He Yuzhu's work when he heard He Yuzhu's call.

As for He Yuzhu himself, he sat down in his chair with a teacup and started to slack off, while thinking to himself whether he should marry Qin Jingru or Yu Haitang in the future.

Meanwhile, Ma Hua was stuck at the window, busy serving food to the staff, barely having time to drink a sip of water. This was the sad part of being Ma Hua's apprentice to He Yuzhu. He was considerate of He Yuzhu, but He Yuzhu never understood Ma Hua, his apprentice.

the other side.

When Wang Lin and Li Tang arrived at the factory gate.

Liu Zhengdao and the head of the security department were reviewing their troops and waiting for Wang Lin.

Wang Lin and Li Tang leisurely approached Liu Zhengdao's side.

The head of the security department introduced the four security personnel accompanying him to Wang Lin: Li Zhuang, Zhang Li, Zhou Guohua, and Zhao Dayong. Li Zhuang and Zhao Dayong were truck drivers, while Zhang Li and Zhou Guohua were escorts.

The Zhang brothers, Long and Hu, went home to explain things and then joined the team, serving as underlings on this trip.

Wang Lin glanced at the four men, nodded to Liu Zhengdao and the head of the security department, and then gave the order: "Let's go. I'll be in the lead car to guide the route."

All four security personnel in the security department obeyed Wang Lin's orders, not for any other reason than that Wang Lin had connections behind him. Li Huaide personally wrote a note to get him into the procurement department, and he had already been labeled as part of Li Huaide's faction.

The factory's security department couldn't afford to offend either Li Huaide or Factory Director Yang.

Most of the people who could get into the factory's security department were veterans, so they were quick and efficient. Wang Lin liked these kinds of people; they never questioned anyone when carrying out orders.

Wang Lin opened the door of one of the trucks and got in. He sat in the passenger seat with Zhou Guohua.

The old pickup trucks of yesteryear didn't have as many rules and regulations as they do now.

Before setting off, Wang Lin first gave the truck driver a general direction out of the city, and then took out some Zhonghua cigarettes from his pocket and offered them to the two of them to smoke.

China!
