Chapter 56 The Restless Courtyard

After Yu Haitang fled away from Liu Haizhong's house, he patted his chest and finally breathed a sigh of relief!

"This courtyard is really like a quagmire at every step!"

Sure enough, after taking two steps, he ran into Xu Damao again!

Xu Damao said, "Haitang, what did Liu Haizhong want to talk to you about?"

Yu Haitang didn't want to pay attention to him, but what happened in Liu Haizhong just now made her feel uncomfortable, so she said unhappily:

"What else could it be? They want me to marry Liu Guangtian from their family!"

Xu Damao said indignantly:

"They are just toads wanting to eat swan meat. Don't pay any attention to them!"

Yu Haitang agreed and said:

"That's right. He doesn't even think about the fact that his family has no money and no house. He has only been the team leader for a few days, and he's already showing off!"

"Don't you think about how many bowls of rice you only eat?"

Xu Damao laughed and said, "That's right, you don't have any self-awareness at all!"

"Haitang, why don't you come to my house for a meal and drink some red wine to ease your sorrow!"

Look at Xu Damao’s smiling face!
Yu Haitang's impression of Xu Damao became even worse. Moreover, she knew from the conversation at the door that Xu Damao was not a good person either, so she naturally did not want to accept his invitation:
"Forget it! You don't have any good intentions!"

"Okay, I won't chat with you anymore, I have to go to my sister's house first!"

Xu Damao said with a look of grievance:

"Haitang, you must have some misunderstanding about me. I am inviting you sincerely!"

Seeing that Yu Haitang ignored him and left the backyard, he continued to say:
"Okay then! Come and sit with me when you are free!"

"I've always kept my red wine ready for you, waiting for you to drink it!"

Yu Haitang then returned to Yu Li's house and told Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li what happened!
Yan Jiecheng sighed and said:

"Sister-in-law, you are awesome. You just came to the courtyard and let the men in this courtyard surround you!"

Yu Haitang said proudly: "That's right, not to mention your courtyard, he is also a well-known figure in the factory!"

Yu Li couldn't stand Yu Haitang's look, so she asked:
"Don't be so conceited. Who do you prefer in your heart?"

Yu Haitang said in annoyance: "I haven't thought about it yet!"

"At first I thought Sha Zhu was a pretty good guy, with all the qualities he possessed, but there was something fishy going on between Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu!"

Yan Jiecheng said: "Forget about it, Silly Zhu! Don't worry about whether there is anything wrong between him and Widow Qin!
Just based on his stupidity, if you marry him, your life will be difficult in the future!"

Yu Haitang agreed and said, "That's right!"

"He was arrested yesterday! Although he was released that night, if you follow him in the future, you will suffer sooner or later!"

Seeing that Yu Haitang looked down on Sha Zhu, Yu Li asked, "Then marry Liu Guangtian?"

"How is that possible!"

"That won't work!"

Only to hear Yu Haitang and Yan Jiecheng deny it at the same time!

Yu Haitang said: "I have met Liu Guangtian, to be honest, I don't like him and I have no interest in getting to know him, otherwise I would have directly agreed to Liu Haizhong and started dating Liu Guangtian!"

Yan Jiecheng also said: "Yes, Liu Guangtian is not good enough. The children of the old Liu family are too cruel and evil. They all went to the same middle school as Liu Hai. Marrying him will only bring you trouble!"

Yu Li asked Yan Jiecheng in confusion:
"Aren't you getting along well with the Liu family's child?"

Yan Jiecheng said disdainfully: "That's because I don't want to bother with them, so as not to cause trouble!"

Yu Li knew Yan Jiecheng's character and said:
"You are just afraid of them! Don't argue with me, I don't know you yet!"

Then, Yu Li ignored Yan Jiecheng and said, "Haitang, tell me what you think!"

There was no need to consider Sha Zhu and Liu Guangtian. Yu Haitang thought of Xu Damao and said:
"Xu Damao is pretty good in all aspects. He is romantic and cultured, but I feel he is a little unreliable!"

Yan Jiecheng said: "Xu Damao should just forget it!"

"Before, Shazhu went on a blind date with Qin Huairu's cousin. Did your sister tell you about this?"

Yu Haitang said, "I told you about it. It was about Xu Damao taking Qin Jingru out for some fun, and then Lou Xiaoe found out about it. As a result, the whole yard was in chaos!"

Yan Jiecheng said: "Yes!"

"And how Xu Damao divorced Lou Xiao'e two days ago!"

"Tsk tsk~ You've heard about what happened when you directly reported Lou Xiao'e's family!"

"If you live with a man like this, he might sell you out in the future, and you'll still be helping him count money!"

Yu Li also said: "That's right, I thought Xu Damao was a good person before, but when he reported Lou Xiao'e's family for divorce that day, I felt that I had misjudged him before!"

"His heart is darker and harder than that of the old Liu family. He is not a man who can live a good life!"

Yu Haitang knew that his sister and brother-in-law were right, and he thought again of what Xu Damao and Qin Jingru said at the gate of the courtyard!
He shook his head and said with some regret:

"You know what, I feel like there aren't any good people suitable in your yard!"

Yan Jiecheng disagreed and said, "Hey, you are wrong. Look at how I, your brother-in-law, treat your sister. I don't treat him badly, do I?"

Yu Haitang said affirmatively:

"It's just okay! Otherwise my sister wouldn't follow you!"

Yan Jiecheng continued: "Of course!"

“But there is actually a pretty good person in our courtyard!

"It's Lin Hao from the logistics department of your steel mill. He lives in our middle courtyard, but he's already married, and it was my old man who brought them together!"

Yu Li also said, "Yes, Lin Hao is a really good person. The last time he came to our house, he advised my father-in-law a few words, and then he never asked me to pay the rent again. Now he is not like before, always calculating against us!"

"Hey~ I should have introduced you to him earlier!"

Yan Jiecheng said: "But I heard from the old man that his teacher Ran's background is not good, but Lin Hao didn't despise her and actually married her home!"

"You know what, I guess this teacher Ran is quite lucky for her husband. Ever since she married Lin Hao, Lin Hao has been rising like a rocket. In less than half a year, he has become the logistics director of your factory!"

"Teacher Ran was overthrown before and was sent to labor reform in school!" But Lin Hao just stood firm and didn't divorce Teacher Ran! "

"Compare Xu Damao and Lin Hao again!"

"Hey, there's no comparison!"

Although Yu Haitang felt it was a pity, she didn't force anything. She could only say that they were not destined to be together!

So he said, "Come on! He's already married, let's not talk about him anymore!"

"Forget it. Anyway, I'm still young. I'm only twenty years old and I have time to look for one!"

Yan Jiecheng also felt that his sister-in-law was right:

"That's true. There are so many people in your factory. With your qualifications, there must be a long line of people chasing you!"

Yu Haitang agreed and said, "That's right, do I have to find a partner in a courtyard house?"

Yu Li also sighed: "That's true!"

At the same time, at Qin Huairu's home, Qin Jingru looked at Qin Huairu pitifully!
"Sister, I was wrong! I just wanted to find out what kind of person Sha Zhu was!"

Qin Huairu looked at her cousin who was not doing well and said:
"Okay, I don't want to discuss this anymore. I've already told you the consequences!" "Anyway! You have to be careful of Xu Damao!"

Qin Jingru immediately said coquettishly: "I know! Sister!"

Qin Huairu said: "Oh, by the way, why don't you give the money directly to his wife, Teacher Ran? They are a couple, it will be the same if you give it to her!"

Qin Jingru said: "I'm just embarrassed! I don't want to cause trouble to others!"

Qin Huairu looked at Qin Jingru and said, "You also know that you have caused trouble for someone. Because of your matter, I have offended both sides!"

"Now even the idiot doesn't help us much!"

"And your reputation. Your reputation in Siheyuan is not very good now. After you return the money to Lin Hao, go back!"

Qin Jingru said coquettishly: "Sister, my dear sister, why don't you help me find another one!"

"Is that all right? I really want to marry someone in the city!"

Jia Zhang said on the side: "Oh! Now you want to marry in the city, then why didn't you think of today when you left Sha Zhu and us and went out to have fun with Xu Damao?"

"Okay, stop saying a few words!"

Of course, Jia Zhang was not happy. What was originally a good thing was turned into a big mess because of Qin Jingru!
At this time, two old ladies from the backyard came to Sha Zhu's house!
As soon as he entered the door, he shouted, "Shazhu, get up quickly!"

Sha Zhu said impatiently:
"Are you annoying? You came back so late yesterday and today is Sunday. Let me get some sleep!"

The old lady pulled Shazhu and said:

"What did you promise Xiao'e when you came back yesterday? She's still waiting!"

Sha Zhu suddenly came to his senses!

"Ouch! I forgot. Blame me! Blame me!"

After saying that, he quickly got up, picked up the phonograph, and ran to the backyard!
However, the old lady did not follow them, but turned and went outside the courtyard, leaving them enough space!

Although she had failed before, she still did not give up and was still planning to bring Sha Zhu and Lou Xiao'e together!

At the old lady's house, Sha Zhu turned on the phonograph and played music for Lou Xiao'e!
Sha Zhu watched Lou Xiao'e immersed in the music and shed tears, and quickly poured her a glass of water and said:
"How's it going? Are you calm now?"

"Do you know what this is called?"

"Fate, Symphony of Fate!"

Lou Xiao'e said in surprise: "You can even hear the fate in this!"

Sha Zhu said proudly: "Why didn't I hear it was fate? You look down on me, don't you?"

Then, Sha Zhu elaborated on what he had heard from the big boss in his own words!
Lou Xiao'e said: "I didn't expect you to know all this!"

"Silly Zhu! I'm really impressed by you!"

Sha Zhu: "Let me tell you about the ideological meaning!"

"What is destiny?"

“It’s something destined by heaven!”

"For example, it's destiny that you marry Xu Damao!"

Lou Xiao'e looked at Sha Zhu speechlessly, thinking that he would say something extraordinary!

Sha Zhu continued: "Who is Xu Damao?"

"If you are not rich at the age of three, you will not be wealthy at the age of forty, and you will surely seek death at the age of fifty!"

Lou Xiao'e knew that Sha Zhu was trying to comfort her, and she was a little touched, but she still said:
"What you said before is right, but what you said later is wrong!"

In fact, the meaning behind it is!

After returning home, Xu Damao became angrier and angrier. He had finally found the culprit who had caused him to lose both his life and his wealth!
But there's nothing he can do about it!

Lin Hao is Director Li's favorite, and now he's even the head of the logistics department. It would be difficult to deal with him!

No, I have to find a way to get to the top, otherwise I won’t be able to take revenge!

The same goes for Liu Haizhong, who orders me around all the time. It seems like it's time to prepare some gold bars for Director Li!
"Qin Jingru, Yu Haitang!"

This guy Shazhu must be lucky in love recently, with so many girls surrounding him. After seeing this, he can get rid of those girls!

noon the next day.

Lin Hao brought the fish-hauling convoy back to the factory. The rest of the matters would naturally be handled by his subordinates, so he didn't have to do it himself!
After arriving at Director Li's office, Lin Hao began to report his work:
"Director, it's done!"

Director Li said happily: "I knew you were a smart guy. No problem can stump you!"

Lin Hao: "Hey! Director, you can't say that. This Tianjingwei procurement trip almost made me worry about gray hair!"

"What's the matter? Tell me."

"It's like this. The career committee of Tianjingwei has not yet completed the team-building activities. The people in charge are still the same group of hard-working people. We sent a letter of introduction to the committee, but they ignored me!"

Director Li asked curiously, "Then how did you solve it?"

Lin Hao said: "I thought about it for a long time and came up with a solution. Start from the root and purchase directly from fishermen!"

"As a result, the fishermen refused to sell to us. Of course, they were mainly worried about policy issues!"

"So I came up with another idea. Since it was against the policy, I simply rented their fishing boats from them, recruited some fishermen as temporary workers in the steel mill, and then went out fishing with them!"

Director Li praised: "Hey, you have a very smart brain!"

"Then the money problem has been solved. Then why did you call and ask for some receipts?!"

Lin Hao said: "The money problem is easy to solve. After the fish are caught and weighed, we will give them the money in the name of fishing boat rental!"

"But they need some tickets for payment, so we need to bring some tickets for them to exchange!"

Director Li sighed and said:

"Well done, you have a flexible mind and know how to adapt to changing circumstances!"

Then he said: "As I told you before, as long as you complete the task well, I am ready to give you more responsibilities!"

"I plan to propose that you be appointed as deputy director at the meeting. Once the meeting passes the decision, you can take office next week at the latest. You will then be mainly responsible for administrative work!"

"Before that, you should learn more about factory administration!"

Seeing Lin Hao's hesitant look, he continued, "Don't worry, I'll find someone to take care of you!"

Although Lin Hao was promoted, he did not get what he wanted, so he could only say:
"Thank you for the promotion, Director. I will do my best to complete the task you assigned me!"

After leaving Director Li's office, Lin Hao realized that Director Li was on guard against him. In fact, there had been some signs before!

Lin Hao still felt a little unhappy. Director Li was not willing to let him obtain the real power of the Security Department and the Workers' Team. Instead, he gave him some administrative power!
As the saying goes: If a staff officer is not accompanied by his chief, his farts won’t even make a sound!
In this era, if you only have pens but no guns, you dare not speak loudly!

No matter what, getting promoted is a good thing after all. In the future, I still have to focus on cultivating a group of my own confidants!

Lin Hao was thinking about these things as he walked!

Suddenly Lin Hao saw a person sweeping the floor at the entrance of the Workers' Club, and he looked very familiar!
Isn’t this Director Yang?
I originally wanted to walk straight over, but when I thought of Director Li’s vigilance towards me, I unconsciously slowed down my pace!
My previous idea was to stand on the side of the winner, complete the task and leave. I wouldn't care about the flood after I left!

So, I just joined Director Li's camp, but now it seems that there is no need to cling to this tree!

However, Director Li’s position in office is still beneficial to me, so there is no need to change it for the time being!

But you must also prepare a way out for yourself, in case the boat capsizes and you are left with no life-saving straw!
It seems that it is necessary to make friends with Director Yang and stir up some trouble!
