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

Director Wang had no choice. To put it bluntly, she had offended Zhou Weiguo last time, and she really wanted Liu Haizhong to back down.

But Liu Haizhong's mind was filled with Natasha's words, "I'll settle accounts with you tomorrow." He thought: rather than waiting for her to come after me, I should take this opportunity to expose their behavior to the public. If Zhou Weiguo were to take action against me again, it would be retaliation.

Thinking of this, Liu Haizhong no longer hesitated and said directly, "Director Wang, you'd better hurry up, or they might finish their work. I guarantee that those two were definitely not doing anything good in the house just now. Two young men, and that foreign woman is as beautiful as if she stepped out of a painting. How could Zhou Weiguo possibly resist?" After saying that, he led the way and rushed into the yard.

Director Wang shook his head helplessly, then walked into the courtyard.

Liu Haizhong didn't even wait for Director Wang; he went up and started banging on the door.

"Bang bang bang! Zhou Weiguo, open the door now!"

"Bang, bang, bang. Zhou Weiguo, don't think you can get away with it just because you don't open the door. We know what you've done. Director Wang is here, specifically to catch you two having an affair."

Upon hearing this, Director Wang quickly stopped him: "Liu Haizhong, don't talk nonsense! What are you spouting?"

She walked to the door, knocked gently three times, and said softly, "Weiguo, could you please open the door? I just came to find out what's going on, please don't misunderstand."

The commotion woke everyone in the courtyard, and they all came out curiously to find out what was going on.

Yi Zhonghai watched Liu Haizhong shouting and banging on the door, utterly astonished: "What's gotten into Lao Liu? They didn't call the police to deal with you earlier, and now you're running into their house to catch them in adultery?"

Yi Zhonghai knew in his heart that the chances of Zhou Weiguo being caught for this kind of thing were very low, but then he thought, what if Lao Liu succeeded? This would only benefit him and not harm him.

So he stood at the door, watching silently with an excited expression.

Just then, the door to the main room creaked open, and Natasha came out in her pajamas.

Seeing Liu Haizhong, she was furious: "What are you doing? It's so late at night, can't a person get any rest? During the day you falsely accused me of being a spy to the police, and now you're causing trouble at my doorstep. Don't think I don't know what it means to have illicit relationships; I will definitely report this to my superiors."

In fact, Natasha had already discovered Liu Haizhong when Zhou Weiguo kicked the pillar out the door.

As a top-notch agent, how could she not notice this situation? She knew perfectly well that Liu Haizhong was eavesdropping outside the door.

That's why she just cruelly rejected her young master.

Seeing that only Natasha came out, Liu Haizhong immediately looked into the room.

Seeing this, Director Wang was afraid that Liu Haizhong would rush in. After all, barging into a foreign guest's room without permission, even if it was just a temporary resting place, would be a big problem.

Once the matter is reported to the foreign affairs department, both she and Liu Haizhong will be punished.

This situation is perfect. As long as Zhou Weiguo and the foreign guests are dressed neatly when they come out of the room, she can explain the matter as a misunderstanding, and the only one affected is that good-for-nothing Liu Haizhong.

She grabbed Liu Haizhong's arm and politely said to Natasha, "Hello, Ms. Davari, I am Director Wang from the street office of this area. I didn't mean to disturb your rest, but this Comrade Liu Haizhong told me that a very beautiful foreign lady has come to our street office, so I thought I'd come and get to know her."

Natasha, sensing that Director Wang harbored no hostility towards her and Zhou Weiguo, said, "Hello, Director Wang, I understand your thoughts, but I am extremely dissatisfied with Comrade Liu Haizhong's actions. I demand that you severely punish Liu Haizhong for slandering me as an enemy agent and for accusing me of having illicit relationships. This has greatly damaged the reputation of me and my brother Zhou Weiguo."

Liu Haizhong was furious upon hearing this. He hadn't expected Director Wang to ignore his report. How could someone like that be a leader?

"He's just a lazy bum holding a position!" He glared angrily at Director Wang, then shouted into the room, "Zhou Weiguo, you come out here! Stop doing this kind of thing and you're too ashamed to show your face! You're a coward, a scoundrel who messes around with women and won't admit it..."

With a loud "smack!", Natasha slapped Liu Haizhong so hard he spun around on the spot before landing hard on his backside.

The neighbors in the courtyard were secretly delighted to see this.

Liu Haizhong was never very bright, and his attempts to put on airs had offended many of his neighbors. Now that they saw him being beaten, everyone felt he deserved it and felt no sympathy whatsoever.

As the foreign woman emerged from the main room of Sha Zhu's house, she looked like an angel descended from heaven, and the crowd whispered among themselves:

"Do you think this could be Sha Zhu's wife?"

"How could that be? Sha Zhu isn't even good enough for a hair on someone's leg. I think she should be Zhou Weiguo's wife."

"Oh right, I heard Zhou Weiguo became a leader, a section chief in the technology department. That's amazing! He even has a foreign wife? Doesn't that count as bringing glory to the country?"

Just then, the door to the side room creaked open, and Zhou Weiguo and Shazhu walked out, looking bewildered.

Looking at everyone in the courtyard with a puzzled expression, then at Director Wang, he said, "Hey, Director Wang, what brings you all here so late? What's up? I was asleep, and all this chatter woke me up."

Liu Haizhong, clutching his swollen face, stared at Zhou Weiguo in disbelief and shouted, "Impossible! Absolutely impossible! You two have definitely been having an affair! I saw it all!"

Zhou Weiguo ignored him and said directly to Director Wang, "Director Wang, as you can see, I'm in the side room, and Natasha is resting in the main room. Liu Haizhong is talking complete nonsense. Also, I'm curious, does having a man and a woman in the same room automatically constitute promiscuity?"

Director Wang quickly shook his head: "It's not that bad, it's not that bad."

Zhou Weiguo looked at Liu Haizhong again: "See, even Director Wang said it's not that bad."

Liu Haizhong was nearly insane at this moment. Being slapped in the face by a woman in front of everyone, and not being able to retaliate, was undoubtedly a great humiliation for him as a leader.

He stared intently at Zhou Weiguo and said, "I clearly saw you hug, and...and kiss."

Zhou Weiguo was amused by this: "Liu Haizhong, you're really asking for trouble! Hugging and triple kisses are traditional greetings from the 'gooses.' Oh, I forgot, Second Uncle, you probably've never even left Beijing in your life, so you definitely wouldn't understand foreign etiquette. Let me explain it to you briefly: hugging and kissing are both traditional greetings from the 'gooses,' just like our handshakes or the old-fashioned cupped-hand salute. You're accusing them of having inappropriate relationships because of this? Then can I consider your behavior as discrimination against foreign guests? Discrimination against other countries' etiquette and culture?"

P.S.: Please urge me to update more and give me good reviews. Thank you!
