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

The nanny, filled with envy and jealousy, brought He Yuzhu a bowl and chopsticks. She hadn't even had the honor of eating at the same table as the leaders, yet a cook was more popular than her.

Everyone enjoyed the meal very much. He Yuzhu didn't dare to mention the mess in the courtyard. It was their first meeting, and he couldn't ruin the distance they had worked so hard to build. He would wait until the time was right before bringing it up to get things done.

When they were leaving, the big boss asked He Yuzhu to take some time on the afternoon of New Year's Eve to cook him a meal.

He Yuzhu readily agreed, seeing this as an opportunity to build a closer relationship, and he certainly wouldn't let it pass him by.

In the afternoon, a car took He Yuzhu back to the yard.

Just then, Banggeng, who was playing outside with his two younger sisters, saw He Yuzhu get out of the car. He immediately ran up to him and asked, "Silly Zhu, why did you come back in a car?"

After waving goodbye to the driver, He Yuzhu made a shushing gesture to tell Bang Geng to keep this a secret: "Don't tell anyone about this."

Jia Banggeng rolled his eyes and said, "Why are you being so mysterious? It's just riding in a car, what makes you think you're so great?"

"Go play with your sister, I'm going home."

He Yuzhu didn't care. It wasn't the right time to spread the news, lest he alert the enemy. He wanted to use his connections with the top leader to deliver a fatal blow to Wang Lin and Li Huaide!

Jia Banggeng watched He Yuzhu's retreating figure and muttered under his breath, "Idiot."

After entering the courtyard, He Yuzhu did not go back to his house, but went to an old man's house to catch up on sleep. He would go back to the factory to report for duty tomorrow. Anyway, now that a big leader had spoken, Director Yang even patted him on the shoulder and told him to go back to the factory canteen tomorrow. Even Li Huaide could not stop him. How could a small deputy director like him compete with a big leader?

The thought of being able to go back to the factory canteen made He Yuzhu feel relieved. He even thought smugly that the canteen must have been in complete chaos these past few days while he was away.

When He Yuzhu woke up, it was already late afternoon. He got up and went to the backyard to visit the deaf old lady.

The gate to Wang Lin's house was tightly closed, and the motorcycle was not in the yard, so Wang Lin was obviously not at home.

He Yuzhu heard laughter and chatter from the deaf old woman's doorstep. He pushed the door open and saw Lou Xiao'e chatting with the deaf old woman.

When the deaf old woman saw that it was He Yuzhu, she pulled Lou Xiao'e over and said to He Yuzhu, "My dear grandson, do you want a wife?"

He Yuzhu thought the deaf old woman was teasing him, so he laughed and replied, "Yes! Of course I want my wife!"

The deaf old woman placed Lou Xiao'e's hand in He Yuzhu's hand and said, "Xiao'e wants to divorce Xu Damao, so you two can be together! I think you two are the most suitable couple."

He Yuzhu was completely baffled by the deaf old woman's actions.

Lou Xiao'e was also completely bewildered.

What kind of trick is this deaf old lady using?

Lou Xiao'e came to her senses, pulled her hand out of He Yuzhu's grasp, and glared at He Yuzhu before saying to the deaf old woman, "Grandma, there's no way I can be with Sha Zhu."

"What? You're willing? That's good. My dear grandson will definitely treat you well." But the deaf old woman immediately pretended to be deaf and mute.

Chapter 134 The College Student Rival in the Publicity Department

Lou Xiao'e quickly explained, "Grandma, it's impossible for me and Sha Zhu to be together."

He Yuzhu stubbornly nodded and said, "That's right, you are Xu Damao's wife, no, his ex-wife."

Lou Xiao'e rolled her eyes and said irritably, "We haven't even gotten our divorce certificate yet."

He Yuzhu retorted, "Whether we get a divorce certificate or not, it's all the same. Xu Damao won't want you anymore anyway."

Lou Xiao'e was so angry that she pinched He Yuzhu's shoulder and said angrily, "What right do you, a bachelor, have to talk to me like that?"

He Yuzhu covered the spot where Lou Xiao'e had pinched him, and he deliberately joked, "If you can pinch like that, how can Xu Damao stand it? It's no wonder they got divorced."

"Silly Zhu!" Lou Xiao'e started chasing after He Yuzhu and hitting him.

"You can't hit her, you can't hit her." He Yuzhu dodged around the deaf old woman.

The deaf old woman grinned as she watched He Yuzhu and Lou Xiao'e playfully fighting, as if she were seeing her own grandson and granddaughter-in-law.

The two playfully bickered for a while until the deaf old woman said, "They're a match made in heaven," which made them blush deeply.

He Yuzhu took the initiative to change the subject, saying, "Grandma, let me cook for you."

The deaf old woman clapped her hands happily. Sha Zhu's cooking is so delicious! She took Lou Xiao'e's hand and said, "Let's watch Sha Zhu cook and learn his skills."

Lou Xiao'e thought it sounded pretty good, so she nodded and said, "Okay."

He Yuzhu wasn't afraid of others copying him at all. He started busying himself, chopping cabbage in the deaf old woman's room.

With the help of the deaf old woman, Lou Xiao'e and He Yuzhu finally had the opportunity to get to know each other closely.

This opportunity led to a fleeting affair between the two.

At this time, everyone in the factory was getting off work and preparing to go home.

Wang Lin from the purchasing department spent the afternoon having fun with his colleagues, playing cards or 10:30, with the loser getting a sticker stuck on their face.

Wang Lin, relying on his high intelligence and good luck, has never lost a single game, while the others have already had their faces covered in notes.

After finishing his last round of Dou Dizhu (a popular Chinese card game), Wang Lin stood up and said, "I should go pick up my girlfriend now. See you tomorrow."

Tangtang and Litang, who had lost all day, looked aggrieved. Yang Mingyuan, who had been watching them play all day, stretched and prepared to go home.

The Zhang brothers, Long and Hu, haven't come these past two days. Apparently, their family has arranged blind dates for them.

Wang Lin left the purchasing department and walked in the opposite direction to the publicity department.

There were only three people in the publicity department: two women and one man. The women were of average appearance and were college students; the man and the woman were classmates.

On her first day at the Third Steel Rolling Mill, Zhang Jiao quickly became acquainted with two colleagues.

After get off work, the only male colleague in the publicity department came up to her and said, "Sister Jiaojiao, I'll give you a ride on my bike later."

When the female classmate saw that her classmate and colleague clearly wanted to pursue Zhang Jiao, she became jealous and her expression turned sour.

Originally, there were only the two of them in the propaganda department. It's safe to say that they would have developed feelings for each other after spending so much time together. But now it's different. There's another person, Zhang Jiao, who was personally brought over by Deputy Factory Director Li. It's obvious that she has powerful connections.

Zhang Jiao shook her head and refused, saying, "No need, Xiao Shi. My boyfriend also works at this factory, and he will come to pick me up."

Upon hearing this, Shi Qiao showed a hint of surprise. Zhang Jiao had actually been beaten to it. He smiled and asked, "Which workshop in our factory does Jiao Jiao's boyfriend work in? Maybe I know him too."

Zhang Jiao replied naively, "You should know him, my boyfriend is Wang Lin from the purchasing department."

When Shi Qiao heard the name, he felt like he had heard it somewhere before, but he couldn't remember where. He wasn't familiar with the purchasing department and didn't know how many people were in it.

"Oh my god! Jiaojiao, your boyfriend is actually Director Wang!" Xu Ting, a female classmate from Shiqiao, exclaimed.

"Director Wang? Wang Lin!" After thinking about the name carefully, Shi Qiao remembered it. It was a purchasing agent who had been praised by the factory several times and had now been promoted to deputy director of the purchasing department.

Logically speaking, Shiqiao should have given up since the other person already had a partner. However, he had just graduated and was assigned to the Third Steel Rolling Mill. He was also jealous and arrogant. How could he possibly let go of such a beautiful woman as Zhang Jiao?

Even if the other person's partner is the director, so what if he is the factory manager? With his extensive knowledge, he will eventually bewitch Zhang Jiao at his feet.

"Sister Jiaojiao, I heard that the purchasing department is very busy. Maybe your boyfriend won't have time to pick you up. Let me take you. I have a bicycle."

I don't know who gave Shiqiao his confidence. Knowing that Zhang Jiao's boyfriend was Wang Lin, he still wanted to send Zhang Jiao back and deliberately create an opportunity.

Xu Ting immediately refused to give him a way out and retorted, "Are you stupid? Director Wang has a motorcycle, who cares about your bicycle!"

"A motorcycle? What's his family background? This needs to be thoroughly investigated."

Shiqiao really didn't know about this. Maybe it's because he rarely made friends with the people in the factory. He always walked home alone after get off work and never stopped for a moment.

Just then, Wang Lin walked in. He went over and put his arm around Zhang Jiao's slender waist, then said to Shi Qiao, "My family background is none of your business. If you have any complaints, you can report it to the factory director's office."

For a recent college graduate to dare to covet his girlfriend is simply courting death.

Shi Qiao's first impression of Wang Lin was that he was very handsome. His second impression was that he was very bold, as he immediately put his arm around Zhang Jiao's waist to assert his dominance. His third impression was that he was very domineering, as he didn't give him a friendly look at all.

Seeing that Shi Qiao was at a disadvantage, Xu Ting stood up for him and said to Wang Lin, "Director Wang, Shi Qiao meant well. Now that you're here, you must protect Sister Jiao Jiao."

Wang Lin realized that Xu Ting had feelings for Shi Qiao, so he decided to do her a favor and said to Xu Ting, "Okay, I'll leave your sister-in-law to you from now on. If you encounter any annoying flies, just tell me. I have a thousand and eight hundred ways to make them lose completely."

Xu Ting immediately chimed in, "Absolutely! Director Wang is so handsome and charming; he's the dream lover of every female employee in our factory."

"You two are flattering each other." Zhang Jiao covered her mouth and laughed.

"Hehe, it's just that my wife is too beautiful and attracts unwanted attention," Wang Lin said, offering a slightly sweet compliment to Zhang Jiao.

"No, let's go home." Zhang Jiao immediately became shy and nestled in Wang Lin's arms like a little woman.

"Let's go, let's go home." Wang Lin put his arm around Zhang Jiao and left.

As Shi Qiao watched Wang Lin leave with Zhang Jiao in his arms, his fists clenched tightly, his eyes filled with anger and resentment.

Seeing Shi Qiao like this, Xu Ting kindly advised, "Shi Qiao, as your classmate and colleague, let me give you a piece of advice: you can't beat them, so give up now."

"You're right. Such beautiful women must be playthings of these people with powerful connections. I hope they'll be brought to justice one day."

Shi Qiao realized that Wang Lin was close to Deputy Factory Director Li, and that Wang Lin himself was also a director. In the end, his resentment could only be released as he loosened his fist.

"It's best if you think that way. Let's go home."

Xu Ting didn't know if there would be any repercussions, but she knew she couldn't afford to offend the other party. Shi Qiao's ability to recognize his weakness and give up proved that he was a person who listened to advice and understood the bigger picture, which met her criteria for a partner.

"Well, I'll give it to you."

Shi Qiao immediately focused his attention on Xu Ting, since if Zhang Jiao hadn't appeared, he would have been dating Xu Ting long ago.

"it is good."

Xu Ting didn't refuse; instead, she enjoyed the feeling that Shi Qiao cared about her.

The two packed their things and left the propaganda department together.

Chapter 135 The Deaf Old Woman Locks the Door

Zhang Jiao and Wang Lin walked through the factory, looking like a perfect couple.

"Wang Lin!"

Factory beauty Yu Haitang ran up to Wang Lin and blocked his way.

Wang Lin looked at Yu Haitang, who was blocking his way, and asked, "Yu Haitang, is something the matter?"

Yu Haitang looked Zhang Jiao up and down, and said with envy and jealousy, "How come you started dating someone without saying a word?"

Zhang Jiao realized that this was her love rival, here to confront her.

Wang Lin gave a fake laugh and retorted, "Do I need to inform anyone about my dating situation?"

Yu Haitang shook her head and said, "Of course not, it's just that you and Yushui aren't..." At this point, Yu Haitang didn't continue, she did it on purpose.

Wang Lin had already confessed to Zhang Jiao, so Yu Haitang couldn't control him and said, "If there's nothing else, we'll be going now."

Zhang Jiao did not confront Wang Lin or argue with him as Yu Haitang had imagined. She remained very calm and even held onto Wang Lin's arm.
