Courtyard House: Drunk and barging into the Xu family's house, I woke up numb.

However, her eyes lit up and she immediately put on a smiling face. She pulled her hand away and grabbed Xu Damao's arm with her other hand.

“Brother Da Mao, look how well you know about my family’s situation.”

"If this continues, our family will really not be able to make ends meet."

"I know you're the smartest person in our department, can you give me some advice?"

As she finished speaking, Qin Huairu ran her fingers along Xu Damao's arm a few times.

Xu Damao was a lecherous old man, and he couldn't resist the temptation of a mature woman like Qin Huairu.

Qin Huairu had only teased him a few times, but Xu Damao's heart was already ablaze. He grabbed Qin Huairu and said...

"Sister Qin, this idea is easy to come up with, it's not difficult, it just depends on whether you're willing to do it."

"If you're willing, I, your younger brother, can help you solve this problem."

"However, since this is a matter of reciprocity, shouldn't you also help me, your younger brother, resolve this?"

As they were talking, Xu Damao's hand had already reached behind Qin Huairu's back. Qin Huairu did not resist, and her face still had a smile on it.

“Brother Da Mao, you’re right. We live in the front and back yards, so it’s only right that we help each other out.”

"I know what you're thinking. If you want it, I'll give it to you."

"But I can't just give it to you for free, can I?"

As the saying goes, listen to the sound of gongs and drums, and listen to the meaning behind words.

As soon as Qin Huairu said those words, Xu Damao knew what she meant.

He pulled a ten-yuan note from his pocket and waved it in front of Qin Huairu.

"Is this one okay?"

The Great Unity was just issued on the 10th, and it has only been in circulation for a week now.

Xu Damao's paycheck was just issued a couple of days ago when the finance department mixed it into the salary.

This is the policy from above. In order to speed up the circulation of the new currency, most of this month's wages will be paid in a mixed form of old and new currency.

Xu Damao held a newly issued ten-yuan banknote, which Qin Huairu naturally recognized.

"Okay, that's all."

As Qin Huairu reached for the money, Xu Damao promptly put it away, a sly smile on his face.

"Sister Qin, I've already brought out what you wanted."

"But Sister Qin, this isn't the first time we've met here. You always manage to fool me so easily."

"They would slip away like eels once they got the money or food coupons, leaving me with nothing but loss every time."

"So today I want to change the rules. How about we do the service first and pay later?"

The reason Qin Huairu didn't hit Xu Damao earlier was because she wanted to use the same trick on him again. She would never agree to do the work first and then get paid.

So Qin Huairu started to use fallacies and feign pitifulness to try and get Xu Damao to give in.

But after crying wolf so many times, Xu Damao also gained experience.

As the saying goes, "a fall into a pit, a gain in your wit," he now remembers the saying: "Don't release the hawk until you see the rabbit."

No matter how much you plead with Qin Huairu, he will not agree to pay first unless she agrees to do the work.

Seeing Xu Damao's stubbornness, Qin Huairu couldn't help but sigh: These stinky men are getting harder and harder to fool.

The two remained locked in a stalemate, while outside the warehouse, Ding Qiunan had already clearly heard the conversation inside.

She was about to speak when Cao Xu silenced her with a kiss. Half a minute later, Cao Xu gestured for her to be quiet.

Immediately afterwards, he took Ding Qiunan's hand and walked outside. After they came out, Ding Qiunan looked at Cao Xu and asked him a question.

"Hey, Cao Xu, why are you stopping me?"

Cao Xu put his hand on her shoulder and laughed.

"If I hadn't sealed your mouth, were you going to shout it out?"

Ding Qiunan said matter-of-factly.

"Of course, didn't you hear me?"

"That Xu Damao is being a scoundrel!"

Cao Xu smiled.

“I’m telling you, little girl, if it’s just wishful thinking on his part, then that’s called being a pervert.”

"But if it's consensual, then it's not just being a hooligan, it's called having an affair."

Didn't you hear me?

"Qin Huairu has already agreed to a deal with someone, it's a transaction of money and sex, why should we care so much?"

Ding Qiunan shook off the hand on her shoulder, turned around, and looked up into Cao Xu's eyes.

"Cao Xu, you're the deputy head of the security department. Aren't you going to do anything about this?"

After saying that, Ding Qiunan flashed Cao Xu her bright white teeth without waiting for his reply.

"According to you, did you also act like a pervert towards me just now?"

Cao Xu reached out and circled around her back, encircling her.

“I was afraid you would scare them, since Xu Damao couldn’t have children anyway.”

"What if your shout scares someone and they develop some kind of health problem, and then they start blaming you?"

Ding Qiunan snorted.

"You could have covered me with your hands, why did you have to..."

Ding Qiunan didn't say anything more after that, but the meaning was clear.

After a brief pause, Ding Qiunan looked at Cao Xu and asked.

"Cao Xu, are we really not going to do anything about it?"

“Xu Damao is a hooligan and a bad guy. He’s been coming to my place for no reason since yesterday.”

"It's either a headache, an eyeache, or a sore throat; they just find an excuse to come over to me."

Cao Xu tidied Ding Qiunan's hair, which had become somewhat disheveled from running.

"You mean Xu Damao went to bother you?"

Ding Qiunan nodded.

"Yes, he went this morning, but Dr. Wang stopped him. Otherwise, he would have come back to bother us again."

"Dr. Wang told me to stay away from him, saying that he likes to flirt and often harasses the young women and wives in the factory."

"Cao Xu, letting someone like this go is too lenient."

Cao Xu said coldly.

"Of course not."

"He's already trying to take advantage of my woman. If I let him go, wouldn't I be too kind?"

He Yuzhu was very unhappy with the meal, and he could tell that everyone was avoiding him.

Fortunately, he had stored a set of clothes in the cafeteria before, and after the meal, he asked Ma Hua to find it for him.

He had just come around from the cafeteria when he happened to see Cao Xu holding Ding Qiunan, and he grinned strangely.

"Hey, Section Chief Cao, I've come at the wrong time."

"Um, you guys continue, I'm leaving, I'm leaving..."

He Yuzhu kept shouting for them to leave, but the man didn't budge.

Ding Qiunan was startled when she heard the number 853 coming from behind her.

Cao Xu ignored Sha Zhu and instead ruffled Ding Qiunan's hair to comfort her.

"It's okay, don't worry about him."

"Go back to the infirmary first, I'll handle the rest."

Ding Qiunan nodded in agreement.

"Then be careful and stay safe."

After saying that, Ding Qiunan glared at He Yuzhu, who was not far away, and then turned and ran towards the infirmary.

Seeing Ding Qiunan leave, He Yuzhu walked over and said with a smile.

"Hey Cao Xu, this girl is pretty. When did you two start dating?"

"Which department are you from? I don't recall ever having this person before."

"newcomer?"

Cao Xu looked at the clothes He Yuzhu was carrying and asked.

Are you looking for a place to change your clothes?
