I painted an aircraft carrier on the courtyard house for Dongda University.

Ever since Qin Huairu talked to Jia Dongxu about being able to control Zhou Weiguo, she has been unable to control her restless heart whenever she thinks about making Zhou Weiguo kneel in front of her.

Unfortunately, Zhou Weiguo hadn't returned to the hospital for three months, and the restless girl could only pester Jia Dongxu every night in an attempt to suppress her inner turmoil.

At first, Jia Dongxu was naturally delighted to see Qin Huairu taking the initiative, which was a rare occurrence for her.

Even the toughest man can't withstand this kind of torment. By the third month, Qin Huairu even started "nighttime raids".

This brought Jia Dongxu both pain and pleasure. He kept wondering to himself: Qin Huairu is only in her early twenties, how come she looks like a "tiger and wolf" in her thirties or forties?

Looking at Jia Dongxu, who collapsed on the bed as soon as he got home and finished his meal, Qin Huairu recalled the bursts of laughter coming from the east courtyard during the day, and the aroma of the dishes that could be smelled even through the wall. Her heart was filled with envy, jealousy and hatred.

Her eyes darted around, and she quietly walked to Jia Dongxu's side, saying, "Dongxu, today Zhou Weiguo drove a brand new car and brought a bunch of little girls back to his house to cause trouble. How could he be so careless, keeping the gate closed in broad daylight? If word gets out, how will the people in our compound ever face anyone again?"

"What?" Jia Dongxu immediately sat up, looking at Qin Huairu with excitement. "You mean Zhou Weiguo brought several women to his yard... and was having an affair?"

Qin Huairu feigned uncertainty: "I don't know either. It's just that when I'm doing laundry, I keep hearing a woman screaming over there, and I don't know what she's doing."

Jia Dongxu instantly perked up. The thought of Zhou Weiguo having sex with several girls at once made him itchy. He didn't even care about his body, which had been "drained" over the past three months. Looking at Qin Huairu in front of him, he wished he could immediately transform into a "brave warrior".

Unexpectedly, Qin Huairu pushed him away and said, "Dongxu, are you still going to do what you mentioned last time? If Zhou Weiguo continues like this, he'll ruin our department's reputation. What will happen to Banggeng when he grows up and can't find a wife?"

Jia Dongxu said helplessly, "What can I do? That bastard Zhou Weiguo hasn't been back for months, so there's no way to make a move. But it looks like they've almost finished their work over there. Let's seize the opportunity these next few days, give him a good beating, and make sure that kid can never hold his head up in front of us again! Alright, alright, let's not talk about this anymore, let's get down to business."

Five minutes later, looking at Jia Dongxu lying on the bed snoring loudly, Qin Huairu was filled with resentment.

Her thoughts drifted back to those days, to the cornfields outside the village, and to Brother Qin at the village entrance.

........

After seeing Yu Li and her sister off, Zhou Weiguo drove back to the east courtyard and found that everyone had already gone back to their rooms.

After a quick wash, I crawled into bed.

He pulled Natasha into his arms, about to kiss her, but she gently pushed him away. Natasha asked with a smile, "Young master, what do you plan to do with that girl named Lou Xiao'e from today?"

"Lou Xiao'e? What can we do? She's just a friend." Zhou Weiguo replied with a blank expression.

Natasha smiled slyly: "I don't believe it! That girl's eyes never left you; she's clearly taken a liking to you."

Zhou Weiguo recalled Lou Xiao'e's behavior today and realized it was indeed somewhat unusual, but he still said, "Having you by my side is enough. Don't overthink it."

Natasha cupped his face in her hands, looked directly into his eyes, and said earnestly, "Is that really enough? Don't forget what I said last night."

Zhou Weiguo couldn't hold back any longer and confessed with a smile, "Okay, I did think about taking Lou Xiao'e in. Firstly, it feels like something's missing if we don't cause trouble in the courtyard; secondly, I want to use Lou Zhenhua to make arrangements in Hong Kong."

Natasha's eyes sparkled, and she said coquettishly, "That's more like it! Telling the truth is the way to be a good girl. Don't worry, I'll be your wingman. By the way, little master, what should I do next? Directing the construction of the converter has been quite interesting lately."

Zhou Weiguo said with a smile, "Do whatever you want. Anyway, I'm doing R&D at the steel rolling mill. If you want to continue working on new things, just tell Uncle Wang, he'll definitely support you. If you don't want to bother with anything and want to take a break, that's even simpler, do whatever you want. Or you can come to my workshop and help me out."

Natasha thought for a moment before saying, "That won't do. A woman must have her own career, otherwise she'll get tired of clinging to you all the time. How about this, I'll have Director Wang build a workshop for me not far from yours, specifically to support your project and help you research materials. That happens to be one of my strengths."

Zhou Weiguo smiled and replied, "Sure, I'll do whatever you say."

The next morning, Zhou Weiguo drove Natasha out of the east courtyard.

Not far into the journey, we spotted Jia Dongxu walking unsteadily down the road with a pigeon-toed gait, looking as if he was about to fall over at any moment.

Zhou Weiguo curiously pulled his car over to the side of the road, wanting to see what was wrong with Jia Dongxu.

Upon closer inspection, Zhou Weiguo was startled.

Jia Dongxu had heavy dark circles under his eyes, and his figure was noticeably thinner, with even his eyes appearing somewhat sunken.

Zhou Weiguo wondered to himself, "Could Jia Dongxu have gotten involved with drugs?"

So he called out, "Jia Dongxu, why are you so weak? You should go to the hospital to get checked out as soon as you have time."

While Jia Dongxu was walking in a daze, he suddenly saw a red luxury car stop in front of him. Upon closer inspection, he realized it was Zhou Weiguo.

He instinctively clutched the letter of denunciation in his breast pocket.

It turned out that Jia Dongxu was ambushed by Qin Huairu again in the middle of the night last night. Afterwards, Qin Huairu fell asleep immediately, but he tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.

The thought that Zhou Weiguo could enjoy the service of several women at the same time filled him with resentment. He immediately decided that he had to teach Zhou Weiguo a lesson no matter what. So he stayed up all night and wrote a letter of complaint with his left hand in a crooked manner.

Standing by the roadside, Jia Dongxu finally came to his senses. Looking at the luxurious car in front of him and the beautiful Natasha inside, he felt a surge of heat in his lower abdomen.

He suppressed his emotions, said nothing, and walked straight ahead.

Seeing his indifferent attitude, Zhou Weiguo was annoyed. He stepped on the gas pedal hard, and the exhaust fumes sprayed into Jia Dongxu's face before speeding away.

After driving all the way to the factory, Zhou Weiguo parked his car in front of his workshop.

Natasha said she wanted to go and see the converter, so he went into the workshop alone.

After eating breakfast prepared by his two apprentices and drinking tea, Zhou Weiguo stood beside his motorcycle and, with the help of Dashan and Erniu, began the final wiring of the electrical system for the Ural M63.

"By the way, Dashan, Erniu, how's it going with you teaching those senior workers how to use the new machine tools?" Zhou Weiguo asked.
