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

He had heard from his boss, Cheng Yuan, the leader of the fourth group, that this deputy director had gotten his position by stepping on other people's jobs.

Even if she's a woman, she must have connections; how could she possibly be interested in a nobody like him?

"If things go well, we should get married before May Day."

After exchanging a few words about other issues, Xia Jie suddenly changed the subject and asked a question.

"Xiao Zhang, your Section Chief Cao must have a girlfriend by now, right?"

Xia Jie knew Cao Xu's age, so it was impossible for Cao Xu to be married, but she didn't know if he had a girlfriend.

However, she felt that Cao Xu probably didn't have a girlfriend, otherwise he wouldn't have taken her in at home. Otherwise, wouldn't he be afraid of trouble at home?

"Yes...no, I don't know, but I haven't heard that our section chief has a girlfriend."

After Zhang Guangrong finished speaking, he secretly felt lucky that he had almost been tricked into revealing information. The matter between their department head and Dr. Ding had not been spread or made public.

It's unclear whether this new deputy director is friend or foe; if he leaks this information, he could cause trouble.

Cao Xu won't even need to deal with him; his own team leader will be able to skin him alive and fire him.

Although Zhang Guangrong tried his best to salvage the situation, Xia Jie already had her own suspicions.

"That shouldn't be the case. Your section chief is of marriageable age, and she's quite good-looking with a bright future ahead of her."

"With such great qualities, you still don't have a partner? Your section chief has quite the pickiness."

Xia Jie continued to ask many questions, just like a curious child.

Zhang Guangrong was filled with regret. He shouldn't have agreed to switch shifts with Liu Huai Ren today; otherwise, he wouldn't be the one suffering right now.

..................................................................

The workers' canteen at the steel rolling mill.

When Xia Jie arrived, the cafeteria was already open, and workers were lining up to get their meals.

Although there were only two security guards on duty in the huge canteen, there was no fighting or squabbling.

Even if someone occasionally cuts in line, they still bow repeatedly to the people behind them.

Once he explains why he was in such a hurry to cut in line, he will gain everyone's approval and understanding.

"Qin Huairu, you stand right there! If you've got the guts, don't run away!"

The sounds outside the cafeteria reached Xia Jie's ears as she stood at the cafeteria entrance. She pointed at Liu Lan, who was chasing Qin Huairu with a mop, and asked her a question.

"Xiao Zhang, what's the deal with these two?"

Zhang Guangrong glanced at it and then said.

"Director Xia, the one with the broom in the back is Liu Lan from the cafeteria, and the one in front is Qin Huairu from the cleaning team, but she has already been fired."

Xia Jie looked at the two people who had run away and asked.

"Expelled?"

"Why were the cleaning crew members fired? Why?"

Zhang Guangrong looked around and whispered.

"That's a long story. The reason hasn't been made public, but I heard from the people in Corey that it's because of a matter of conduct."

Xia Jie pointed to an empty seat in the cafeteria.

"It's a long story, I love listening to stories. Come on, let's go to the cafeteria and find a seat so you can tell me slowly."

"By the way, you haven't eaten yet, have you? Go get some food first, we can talk while we eat."

After Xia Jie and Zhang Guangrong entered the cafeteria, Liu Lan also came back carrying a mop. Judging from her expression, she was still angry.

The deputy factory director's office on the third floor of the factory office building.

"hiss……"

Li Huaide rubbed his burning face, occasionally letting out a cry of pain.

"This Ding Qiu Nan is really spicy."

"You dared to slap me without even touching my hand? Do you really think I, Li Huaide, am someone to be trifled with?"

"When I have some free time, I'll definitely teach her a lesson. She's just a lousy intern. It's her good fortune that I, the factory manager, have taken a liking to her. And she still puts on airs with me."

Li Huaide took the opportunity to fire Qin Huairu yesterday, his purpose being nothing more than to test Wang Youyu's bottom line.

As a result, a day passed, and Wang, having not dared to utter a single word, spoke to him in a manner that, while not particularly pleasant, was still respectful.

This pleased Li Huaide greatly, and he inevitably drank a few extra cups at Xia Jie's welcome banquet today.

After Cao Xu and Xia Jie left, Li Huaide also took the opportunity to leave and return to his office to rest.

When Li Huaide went back to his room to wash his face, he saw the injury on his face and became angry again, so he asked his secretary to call the doctor from the infirmary to change his dressing.

When Ding Qiunan came to change her dressing, Li Huaide stared at her intently and, fueled by alcohol, made suggestive remarks.

He even tried to physically assault her, but Ding Qiunan slapped him instead.

This enraged Li Huaide, who, overcome by lust, decided to force himself on Liu Lan, just as he had done with her.

Unexpectedly, Ding Qiunan's personality had changed since she met Cao Xu. She picked up a first-aid kit and hit Li Huaide with it.

Li Huaide fell into a chair behind him in pain, and Ding Qiunan took the opportunity to run out.

Ding Qiunan ran away, but Li Huaide's anger did not subside.

He told his secretary to call Liu Lan over when he went to get food.

After the secretary left, Li Huaide took out a small box from the drawer and squeezed out a brown pill from it.

This was a gift from Xu Damao. According to Xu Damao, the medicine was made by a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner friend of his based on a family secret recipe.

This medicine is designed to prolong the duration of intercourse. Xu Damao has personally tried it, and the effect is outstanding.

Li Huaide brought it to his nose and sniffed it. Apart from a faint smell of Chinese medicine, there was no other strange odor.

He looked left and right but couldn't figure it out. He figured Xu Damao wouldn't lie to him, and he wouldn't dare.

Thinking about the effect Xu Damao described, he felt an itch in his heart, like being scratched by a cat.

Finally, he gritted his teeth, put the pill in his mouth, and drank the warm water beside him.

After taking the medicine, Li Huaide waited for Liu Lan to arrive in his office, thinking to himself.

According to Xu Damao, this medicine will take effect in about half an hour. He should take it now so that Liu Lan will arrive at the perfect time.

I don't know if this thing will actually work. If it doesn't, I'll definitely make Xu Damao clean toilets for a month.

........................................................................

In the cafeteria kitchen, Liu Lan ate her lunchbox, her face still showing anger.

After serving the dishes, Ma Hua came over and, seeing Liu Lan's appearance, leaned closer and asked her a question.

"Sister Lan, I heard from those two guys behind me that you and Qin Huairu got into a fight just now?"

Liu Lan glanced at Ma Hua and said irritably.

"What's wrong? I hit your teacher's wife and you're upset, so you've come to stand up for her?"

Ma Hua is a clever and shrewd person, he said with a smile.

"Look at what you're saying! We're eating from the same pot as you now, so I'm definitely on your side!"

Liu Lan took a sip of hot water after eating her meal.

"You're smart enough to know what's good for you, I like hearing that."

Seeing that Ma Hua had stopped talking and started eating with his head down, Liu Lan couldn't help but ask.

"Ma Hua, do you think it's appropriate for your master and Qin Huairu to be together?"

"A widow with three children and a mother-in-law in jail—isn't this just setting them up for trouble?"

Ma Hua shook his head.

"Only the wearer knows if the shoe fits, and my master knows whether Qin Huairu fits him or not."

I was just an apprentice; all I knew was that my master liked her.

"I don't know about the daily life of a married couple, and besides, they're already married, so it's too late to say anything now."

Liu Lan looked at Ma Hua as if he were an idiot and sighed.

"You and Sha Zhu are truly master and apprentice, just like each other!"

· ·······Requesting flowers···· ······

Just then, Deputy Factory Director Li's secretary walked in and greeted Liu Lan.

"Liu Lan, Deputy Factory Director Li wants you to report to him on the menu for tomorrow's factory reception."

Liu Lan knew what he meant as soon as she heard this. This Li Huaide was really like a cat, always trying to steal a bite whenever he had the chance.
