All the heavens begin with the love in the courtyard.

Today was supposed to be another noisy workday, but as soon as the two changed into their work clothes and entered the workshop, the foreman walked in with a girl and shouted directly at everyone.

"Everyone, let me tell you, this is a new worker named Cai Xiaoli. Please take good care of her from now on!"

Upon seeing Cai Xiaoli suddenly appear, Han Chunming and Taozi both looked up at the front.

Han Chunming knew Cai Xiaoli because they were educated youths who were sent to the countryside together.

Taozi was immediately attracted by Cai Xiaoli's young and beautiful face!

The foreman looked down and then called out to Taozi.

"Taozi, Xiaoli is now in your care. She's your apprentice, so you'd better teach her well!"

Upon hearing this good news, Taozi immediately raised his hands and shouted excitedly.

"Guarantee...guarantee the mission will be completed!"

Chapter Seven: Annoyance

Cai Xiaoli also raised her head, her beautiful eyes smiling as she looked at Han Chunming, and a pair of dimples immediately appeared on her small face.

In Han Chunming's opinion, Cai Xiaoli was not particularly beautiful, but she had a pair of dimples when she smiled, and she had a unique intellectual beauty, the kind of person who was suitable for a down-to-earth life.

In the original novel, Cai Xiaoli had a crush on Han Chunming, but Han Chunming only had eyes for Su Meng and introduced Cai Xiaoli to Taozi, hoping to match them up. The plan was already halfway to success.

But to everyone's surprise, Cheng Jianjun saw it in the end. At that time, Cheng Jianjun was pursuing Su Meng, but Su Meng only had feelings for Han Chunming.

Cheng Jianjun was furious with Han Chunming. Why did all these women like Han Chunming? What did Han Chunming have that made him better than him?

Whether out of jealousy or a genuine desire to win the heart of the beauty, Cheng Jianjun immediately hatched a plan.

So she started to sow discord between Cai Xiaoli and Cheng Jianjun, and with her superior qualities, she successfully poached Taozi's girlfriend. Taozi was so angry that he almost grabbed a kitchen knife and fought Cheng Jianjun to the death.

Now that Han Chunming has seen Cai Xiaoli again, he can't help but have the same idea again: to match Cai Xiaoli and Taozi together and make Cheng Jianjun suffer. Maybe it would be quite interesting.

Cai Xiaoli is actually quite capable and down-to-earth, the kind of woman who is really suited for a domestic life. However, this kind of woman is not Han Chunming's type, because Han Chunming doesn't like being constrained.

Taozi was assigned to be Cai Xiaoli's teacher, which made him so happy that he became a little incoherent. Han Chunming quickly made a gesture, and Taozi immediately understood. He took a deep breath and began to silently recite breathing exercises to calm himself down.

When Cai Xiaoli arrived in front of Taozi and Han Chunming, they smiled at each other and said nothing more. This was their workplace, and they had no intention of catching up.

On the contrary, Taozi's attention was entirely on Cai Xiaoli at this moment. He smiled and began to enthusiastically instruct Cai Xiaoli on how to do the work.

Cai Xiaoli listened attentively, and remained indifferent to Taozi. She did whatever Taozi asked her to do without saying a word.

Taozi took a liking to Cai Xiaoli at first sight. Perhaps to show off, he kept talking to himself all morning, as if he were on a blind date. He told her everything about his family situation, his hobbies, and what he liked to do.

Cai Xiaoli, however, rarely spoke and never answered any questions about herself. She simply worked silently without saying a word.

Han Chunming couldn't stand it any longer, so he found an opportunity to pull Taozi out of the workshop. Once outside, Taozi was still excitedly talking to Han Chunming.

"Chunming, my spring has arrived! Let me tell you, the moment I saw this girl, my heart was pounding like crazy, thumping nonstop! Chunming, do you know what love at first sight is? Now I finally know what that feeling is like!"

Han Chunming looked at the guy, who was still lost in his daydream, and shook his head helplessly.

I don't think you have a chance!

Upon hearing Han Chunming's words, Taozi was speechless and looked at Han Chunming with some confusion.

Han Chunming felt he should tell him what cold, hard reality was, and said helplessly.

"Hey Taozi, have you never succeeded in pursuing girls before?"

Taozi hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Han Chunming sighed and continued.

"Dude, you can't just pursue him like that, you need to find the right approach!"

Taozi looked at Han Chunming blankly.

Han Chunming continued.

Do you have money?

Taozi shook his head.

"Does your family have power and influence?"

Taozi shook his head blankly once again.

"Do you consider yourself handsome and from a well-off family?"

Taozi lowered his head even further and shook it again.

Seeing that the blows had been dealt enough, Han Chunming stepped forward, patted him on the shoulder, and said...

"Think about it, you have no money, no power, no influence, you're not handsome, and your family isn't well-off. Yet you spend every morning talking to her. Tell me, if you were a girl, wouldn't you find it very annoying?"

Taozi was so deeply affected that he couldn't think straight. His face fell, he lowered his head, and remained silent.

Seeing that she had already dealt enough blows, Han Chunjing finally changed the subject and continued with a smile.

That's why I said you need to master the methods!

Taozi's spirits were completely low at this moment. He looked at Han Chunming and said nothing more.

Han Chunming chuckled and patted him on the shoulder.

"When it comes to pursuing girls, you have to know how to do it. Some girls like handsome guys, some like rich and powerful guys, and some like down-to-earth and capable guys. And this Cai Xiaoli happens to like down-to-earth, capable, funny and ambitious guys, like me!"

Taozi was stunned by what Han Chunming said. He looked up and stared at Han Chunming in surprise.

Han Chunming chuckled and continued.

"What are you looking at? Are you afraid I'll steal your Cai Xiaoli? If I were going to steal her, I would have done it two years ago. Cai Xiaoli and I were sent to the countryside together in Fangshan. She was two years behind me, so we've known each other for a long time!"

Taozi exclaimed "Ah!" in surprise, then, still somewhat dazed, he asked in astonishment.

"Chunming, so...so you mean, you know Cai Xiaoli, and you're quite familiar with her?"

Han Chunming nodded, and Taozi finally realized what was happening. He slapped Han Chunming on the shoulder and said...

"Then...why didn't you help me introduce them just now? You embarrassed me!"

Han Chunming snorted and said.

"What's so embarrassing about it? Let me tell you, Cai Xiaoli doesn't have a boyfriend right now. She just got back from being sent to the countryside. I think you're a good friend, someone I can be a brother to, so I really wanted to set you two up. But after watching you ramble on all morning, spouting nonsense, Cai Xiaoli already dislikes you from the first impression. Don't you know that?"

Taozi exclaimed "Ah!" again, his face ashen as he looked at Han Chunming, completely bewildered.

Han Chunming continued with a smile.

"That's why I dragged you out! I know Cai Xiaoli well, I know what kind of guys she likes, so you have to do as I say and show her your best side, understand?"

Taozi was still somewhat insecure, looking at Han Chunming with longing eyes.

Han Chunming pondered for a moment before speaking.

“Starting today, you shouldn’t talk so much, and stop being so carefree all the time. These are the things that Cai Xiaoli hates the most. If you want to show yourself in front of Cai Xiaoli, you have to let her see your strengths, not show all your weaknesses, understand?”

Taozi opened his mouth slightly, looked at Han Chunming, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't know what to say.

Han Chunming smiled and continued.

Do you feel like you don't have any strengths?

Taozi nodded frantically, his face bitter, clearly having lost some confidence after being discouraged by Han Chunming.

Han Chunming continued with a smile.

"So you lack confidence? You have many strengths, including the ones that Cai Xiaoli likes the most!"

Taozi's eyes brightened once again as he looked at Han Chunming, waiting for his positive energy.

Han Chunming patted him on the shoulder and said very directly.

"First of all, you are sincere and honest. Although you may seem carefree at times, you are very responsible and have a man's sense of duty. These are the qualities that Cai Xiaoli likes the most. So from now on, you must show your strengths and change Cai Xiaoli's impression of you, understand?"

Taozi nodded, somewhat bewildered, but still asked hesitantly, lacking confidence.

Is this really okay?

Han Chunming snorted and patted his shoulder heavily.

"I forgot to tell you, Cai Xiaoli especially hates timid and indecisive men. A man should be upright and strong, understand? As long as you follow my method, I guarantee you'll win the heart of your beauty in the end!"

After saying that, Han Chunming turned around and went back to the workshop, leaving Taozi in a dilemma. After a long time, he took a deep breath, clenched his fist, and cheered himself up as if talking to himself!

"Li Chengtao, you can do it! Believe in yourself! Keep going!"

After saying that, Taozi straightened his back, turned around, and went back to the workshop.

When Taozi arrived at the workshop, his attitude changed drastically. He was like a completely different person. He was no longer the carefree person he used to be. Instead, he looked upright and didn't chatter incessantly in front of Cai Xiaoli anymore. Whenever there was something to do in the workshop, he was always the first to step up and volunteered to do the hard and tiring work.

This change in attitude indeed made Cai Xiaoli look at him more and more often, which made Taozi feel very happy. He didn't feel tired at work and was busy all day long.

At noon, he even took Cai Xiaoli to the canteen and showed her around the factory. Cai Xiaoli successfully lowered her guard and occasionally said a few words to him.

Han Chunming was also pleased to see this happen. After exchanging pleasantries with Cai Xiaoli for a while at noon, he took the initiative to give the opportunity to Taozi, who then worked even harder.

Cai Xiaoli originally wanted to chat with Han Chunming a bit more, but Han Chunming seemed noticeably unenthusiastic towards her, which made Cai Xiaoli somewhat frustrated.

Originally, she felt a little happy to run into the boy she used to like in a new environment, but Han Chunming didn't take the initiative at all, which naturally made her feel uncomfortable.

However, Taozi perfectly filled Han Chunming's vacancy, taking care of Cai Xiaoli in every way. Compared with Han Chunming's indifference, Taozi's impression score immediately improved.

Of course, we can't rush things now; making the other person feel good about us is just the first step.

Following Han Chunming's instructions, Taozi successfully changed his image in front of Cai Xiaoli. After get off work, he took the initiative to ride a bike with Cai Xiaoli for a while before riding towards his own home.

Han Chunming watched Taozi and Cai Xiaoli's figures disappear before smiling slightly, turning around and riding his bicycle towards a nearby traditional Chinese medicine shop.

He had made an agreement with Scarface yesterday that he would go and mix some medicine powder himself today and deliver it to Scarface's henchman. A man should keep his word; he couldn't break his promise just because the other party was a small fry.

After preparing the medicine powder, Han Chunming rode his bicycle towards the bus stop where he had gotten off the bus yesterday. When he arrived, he saw a young man with bandages wrapped around his neck standing in front of the bus stop.

Han Chunming rode his bicycle up to them. When the other person saw Han Chunming, he subconsciously took two steps back, but quickly realized what was happening and hurriedly took the medicine bag from Han Chunming's hand with a fawning expression.

Han Chunming said, carrying two medicine packets.

"This medicine is for external application, and you need to change it once a week. This other packet is for internal use; you should take it with boiled water every morning. I've divided it into small packets for you. With both internal and external treatments, I guarantee you'll be lively and energetic again in a month!"

The underlings quickly nodded and bowed in thanks.

Seeing that he was alone, Han Chunming subconsciously asked.
