Love in the Courtyard: Starting with Engineers

At lunchtime, while Sha Zhu was getting his food at the cafeteria, Liu Haizhong said to him:

"Did you know that Xu Damao has started working at the steel rolling mill?"

Upon hearing this, Sha Zhu threw down his spoon and told Ma Hua to get him his food. He then pulled Liu Haizhong to the kitchen and said:

"How did you know? That bastard came to the steel mill?"

After taking a bite of his food, Liu Haizhong said unhurriedly, "I ran into him this morning, and I'm telling you, he not only started working at the steel mill, but he was also allocated a house in a courtyard house."

Sha Zhu said viciously, "Great! A courtyard house is great! I haven't gotten my revenge yet!"

"Oh right, it seems Lou Xiao'e is back."

Sha Zhu waved his hand as soon as he heard this: "Impossible! Their whole family went to Hong Kong, how could they possibly come back?"

"That's strange. Xu Damao said he was going to take his wife back to the courtyard house this afternoon!" Liu Haizhong said, puzzled.

"Probably some country bumpkin girl they found somewhere," Sha Zhu said dismissively.

As Liu Haizhong ate, he said, "If this wife can't give Xu Damao a child, then Xu Damao will truly be childless."

Liu Haizhong suddenly felt something was wrong as soon as he finished speaking.

Liu Haizhong quickly finished eating the rice in his lunchbox: "I'm done eating, I'm going back to the workshop now."

Sha Zhu didn't reply; he just unconsciously clenched his fists.

At noon, Li Yu, who was lying on the sofa, watched Bai Ling eating.

He suddenly realized that since Bai Ling had taken the Great Rejuvenation Pill, she had not only become whiter and whiter, but her figure also seemed to be getting better and better.

Just as Li Yu was looking at Bai Ling, Bai Ling also noticed that Li Yu was staring at her.

She ate mechanically, but her heart was beating faster and faster, and her ears were getting redder and redder.

Li Yu, who was watching her, noticed her unusual behavior and said, "Did you eat some chili peppers? Your ears are so red."

Bai Ling rolled her eyes at Li Yu: "Are you alright! Why are you staring at people who are eating here like that!"

"Are you shy?" Li Yu said in surprise.

"Hmph~ I can't be bothered with you," Bai Ling said, then took her lunchbox and Li Yu's lunchbox and went out to wash them.

Watching Bai Ling's departing figure, Li Yu thought that Bai Ling was actually not bad. In any case, the child would definitely not go hungry in the future.

In the afternoon, two young people, a man and a woman, came to Li Yu's office.

The man's name is Zeng Dejian, and the woman's name is Hao Bumei. They are not only colleagues, but Hao Bumei is also Zeng Dejian's fiancée.

Their superiors arranged for them to interview Li Yu, mainly to report on Li Yu's rolling mill and steelmaking furnace.

Li Yu looked at the two people in front of her. The man was of average appearance, but his eyes were lewd and he kept glancing at Bai Ling next to Li Yu.

The woman was dressed very elegantly, but the large black mole on the corner of her mouth made her look somewhat comical.

"Comrade Li Yu, you're so young, where did you get so many skills from?" Zeng Dejian asked.

Li Yu frowned and said, "I figured it out myself."

Hao Bumei then asked, "I heard you're a vocational school graduate, so how did you get access to these technologies?"

"As far as I know, these technologies are among the world's top technologies. Tell me, how did you acquire them?"

Li Yu was immediately furious. This guy wasn't here for an interview; he was here to cause trouble.

"It's true that I'm a vocational school graduate, but I've been learning mechanical knowledge from my parents since I was a child."

"Secondly, I obtained an auditing pass for Yenching University, so most of my knowledge was acquired at Yenching University."

"As for the technology, since you all know it's world-class, who else besides my own can offer something similar?"

The two men were a little scared when they saw that Li Yu was angry, because their editor-in-chief had repeatedly told them not to offend anyone.

However, the two had been proud since childhood, and when they saw a young person, they were used to making things difficult for him, but they ended up kicking a hornet's nest.

"We are journalists, we have an obligation to seek the truth, and you also have an obligation to cooperate," Zeng Dejian said.

"I'm not cooperating with your mother! You're a reporter? I don't care who you are!" Li Yu said angrily, staring at the man in front of him.

Seeing her fiancé being insulted by this man, Hao Bumei immediately stood up and said, "You dare to swear at me! You believe I can make sure you can't work here in a minute!"

"Slap!" Bai Ling slapped Hao Bumei across the face.

"Make him unable to continue? Who do you think you are? Ask your father, Hao Pingchuan, if he would dare say such a thing!"

"As for your question about how Li Yu acquired his skills, it's something he researched day and night, running between libraries and Yenching University," Bai Ling said loudly.

Zeng Dejian said to Li Yu, "You just wait!"

With a "bang," Li Yu kicked Zeng Dejian, sending him flying.

Li Yu tossed the two men out of the office and said, "If I see you at the steel mill again, you're dead."

The two slunk back to the newspaper office and went to complain to the editor-in-chief, Hao Pingchuan.

After listening, Hao Pingchuan looked at the notebook they had taken out and the content of their questions.

"Is this your question?" Hao Pingchuan said angrily.

The two nodded.

Hao Pingchuan slammed the notebook onto the table!

"You guys can't even handle something as good as this that gives you face! Are you all idiots?!"

"Hao Bumei, how could I have such an idiot daughter like you! And Zeng Dejian is an idiot too!"

"You all go home and reflect on your actions. You can come back to work when you've thought things through!"

Immediately afterwards, Hao Pingchuan called Minister Liu and said that he would reassign a reliable person to conduct the interview, and repeatedly promised to personally supervise the review process before allowing Minister Liu to conduct the interview again.

In the afternoon, two more young people completed their interviews with Li Yu.

This interview went smoothly without any mishaps. After the interview, Li Yu took the two of them on a tour of the workshop and steel plant.

Sha Zhu, who left the steel rolling mill early in the afternoon, found a wooden stick about the thickness of a forearm on the road and brought it back to the courtyard house.

Yan Bugui, who was standing at the door, saw Sha Zhu return with a large wooden stick in his hand and asked:

"Silly Zhu, what are you doing with that stick?"

Sha Zhu said calmly, "It's for beating up villains!"

Qin Huairu, who was cooking at home, saw Sha Zhu return with an angry expression and asked, "What's wrong, Zhu? Why are you carrying a wooden stick?"

After Sha Zhu told Qin Huairu about Xu Damao's previous attempt to sabotage him and Xu Damao's return to the steel rolling mill today, Sha Zhu told her about it.

Qin Huairu said, "He really deserves to be taught a lesson, but Zhu Zi, don't cause any more problems."

"I have a lot of experience fighting Xu Damao, there won't be any problems," Sha Zhu said.
