Courtyard House: She got anxious when He Yushui wasn't licked.

If Zhang Hao knew what he had said while drunk, he would probably slap himself twice across the face! Why couldn't he control his mouth?! Why did he have to blurt out such blunt truths!

"I want to go home." He Yushui had no appetite for food or drink anymore. She had drunk quite a bit of alcohol, and her face was flushed. It was hard to tell whether it was from the alcohol or from her sadness.

"Rain, I'll stay with you." Yu Haitang was really afraid that He Yushui might do something rash, and she needed to talk to her and comfort her.

He Yushui and Yu Haitang left Zhang Hao with Wang Lin and prepared to leave.

Wang Lin has achieved his goal today: to embarrass Zhang Hao in front of He Yushui! As for He Yushui and Yu Haitang leaving now, he certainly won't stop them or try to keep them.

"Brother Lin, it's getting late, I should go back too." Fang Yue saw that it was getting late and she was going home as well.

"Okay, be careful on the road." Wang Lin also wanted to see Fang Yue off, but he was really worried about having Zhang Hao, this ticking time bomb, in the house.

After the three women left, Wang Lin poured himself another glass of wine and sat down to savor it slowly.

I've been completely transformed; why is it so hard to get drunk now?

Chen Amao came out of Wang Baobao and Wang Beibei's room. He looked at Zhang Hao, who was fast asleep drunk, and asked in confusion, "Brother Wang Lin, why did you leave this drunken policeman at home?"

Wang Lin took a sip of wine and a bite of food, then said, "Ah Mao! We are law-abiding citizens, and we must not do anything illegal or disorderly. It's freezing outside, if you leave him out there, he'll definitely freeze to death tomorrow!"

Upon hearing Wang Lin's words, Chen Amao couldn't help but reflect, "Brother Wang Lin, I didn't think things through properly. I didn't consider these deeper aspects. If any of the girls I'm pursuing in the future dare to pester me like this, I'll definitely break their legs."

Wang Lin laughed upon hearing Chen Amao's words, shaking his head and saying, "Childish!"

Chen Amao sat down next to Wang Lin, poured himself a little vodka, and sipped it slowly, imitating Wang Lin. He asked, puzzled, "Brother Wang Lin, am I wrong?"

Wang Lin chewed on a peanut and said, "Yes and no! We can't be like reckless men, only knowing how to charge into battle for love! Only by strategizing when necessary can we win from afar."

Did all those pure-love war gods of later generations win?

First, there was the Cadillac chasing the high-speed train, then there was the pure love warrior outsmarting the security guard to find out about true love!

Chen Amao only half understood what he was hearing. At his age, he didn't know how bitter love could be. When he tasted the bitterness of love in the future, he would definitely regret not having lived a carefree life for a few years!

In this era, travel was slow, and one loved only one person in their lifetime.

Wang Lin put down his chopsticks, patted Chen Amao on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "Worker, start cleaning up. As payment for tonight, pack up the leftovers to take home."

Looking at the dry pot with so much food left in front of him, Chen Amao subconsciously asked, "Brother Wang Lin, there's still so much food left. We can just heat it up and eat it tomorrow morning. Are you sure you don't want it all?"

Wang Lin lay down on the sofa, picked up a novel and continued reading. Without looking at the leftovers, he said, "Take all the leftovers back with you. I'll bring you other food when I report to the Third Steel Rolling Mill tomorrow at noon. It's good to change things up once in a while."

"Alright, I promise I'll wipe the table spotless and wash the dishes until they shine." After confirming that Wang Lin didn't want the leftovers, Chen Amao immediately started cleaning up, admiring Wang Lin's generosity—he just wanted to leave so much good food behind.

"Labor is the most glorious thing." After saying this, Wang Lin became engrossed in his novel, which he was currently reading through the system's daily login reward, "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils".

I haven't had the time to properly settle down and read Mr. Jin Yong's masterpieces before, but now that I have the time, I should definitely savor them and cultivate my mind.

Chen A never slacked off when he was working, so Wang Lin could entrust him with tasks with complete peace of mind.

Since there were no packing bags for the leftovers, Chen Amao simply took the plates with him, figuring he could just bring them back and wash them the next day.

Time flies, and by around nine o'clock, Chen Amao had already cleaned the house spotless.

The coffee table was washed with dish soap and looks shiny.

Kitchen waste and other garbage were all dumped into the large bin by the door, as Wang Lin had instructed.

Before leaving, Chen Amao made a special trip to check if Wang Baobao and Wang Beibei were properly covered with blankets while they slept.

After Chen Amao left, Wang Lin looked at the drunk Zhang Hao and muttered, "Extract the superpowers of the super-powered world."

Wang Lin felt as if something in his brain had been unlocked; he discovered that he could see everything in the room even with his eyes closed.

To verify just how powerful this superpower was, Wang Lin focused intently on reading the novel, using his telekinetic powers to turn the pages.

The book turned a page on its own without any wind, and Wang Lin felt very relaxed.

The drawer was opened, and the cigarettes inside wafted toward Wang Lin.

After several experiments, Wang Lin discovered that this telekinetic ability was still very weak and could only grow stronger with repeated use and stimulation of the brain.

Is it reasonable for someone to gain a special ability on their eighteenth birthday? It seems quite reasonable; with the system gone, Wang Lin will have an extra means of self-protection.

Wang Lin locked the door, making sure to close the doors to the two mythical beasts' rooms as well. He instructed the prince to take good care of the two beasts before returning to his own room to enjoy his game time.

"I haven't finished God of War 1 yet, I have to get God of War 2 sorted out tonight." Wang Lin muttered to himself, ignoring Zhang Hao on the sofa.

Back in the room, warm as spring, Wang Lin sat down in front of the large screen monitor, picked up the controller, and started playing games. Beside him, there was even a robot offering Coke. It was just perfect.

After Chen Amao brought the leftovers home, he locked the door behind him.

When Chen Amao's mother saw him return, she stopped making the rice cakes and asked, "Third son, have you eaten?"

Because Chen Amao's family was poor, they didn't have electric lights and used candles, which were cheap.

Chen Amao placed a plate of delicious food on the table and said, "Mom, I've eaten. Wake up Dad, my eldest brother, and my second sister. I brought you some good food."

Chen Amao's mother looked at the large bowl of food, which included chicken, duck, beef, and ten eggs. Her expression changed instantly, and she sternly questioned, "Where did all this come from? Third son! Did you steal from Wang Lin's house?"

Chen Amao shook his head and explained, "It wasn't stolen. Brother Wang Lin asked me to pack it up and bring it back. It's Brother Wang Lin's birthday today, and he's eating really well."

Chen Amao's mother stared at Chen Amao, trying to see if he was lying from his face, but Chen Amao had nothing to hide and showed no sign of guilt.

The noise woke up Chen Amao's older brother and second sister, who were asleep.

Chen A-Mao's older brother, Chen Sheng, climbed up from the lower bunk and saw a big bowl of delicious food. He immediately rushed over and asked, "A-Mao! Where did this meat come from?"

"Meat? Where?"

When Chen Amao's second sister, Chen Mei, heard that there was meat, she also got off the upper bunk.

Chen Amao pointed to a large bowl of food on the table and said, "These are today's leftovers. Brother Wang Lin didn't want them, so he asked me to pack them up for you to eat."

“Wang Lin has been so good to you! You must never do anything to betray him. Our family may be poor, but we must never do anything petty or dishonest.”

At that moment, the curtain next to the bunk bed was pulled open, and a middle-aged man got off the bed by supporting himself with his arms. He had no legs and was a disabled person.

Upon seeing the man, Chen Amao patted his chest and assured him, "Dad! Don't worry, Brother Wang Lin not only taught me to read but also hired me to work in exchange for food. I will definitely repay him when I become successful in the future."

Chen Amao's father nodded upon hearing this and said to his two children, "Eat up! Remember this kindness in your hearts. When Wang Lin is bullied by the people in the compound again, you can't pretend you didn't see it."

"Got it, Dad."

"Brother, go get the chopsticks."

"Dad, Mom, eat meat!"

Chen Sheng and Chen Mei, brother and sister, brought out chopsticks and the family sat down together to share this delicious meat dish.

Chapter 57 Reporting to the Steel Rolling Mill, Giving Gifts and Becoming a Purchasing Officer

The next morning, Wang Lin woke up, got dressed, and took his certificate, cigarettes, and alcohol with him.

The drunk Zhang Hao was no longer on Wang Lin's sofa; perhaps he felt too ashamed to face Wang Lin again.

It's good that he's gone; Wang Lin didn't bother to recount his heroic deeds from the previous night to Zhang Hao.

With Chen Amao taking care of the two mythical beasts, all that's needed is to keep them from running around; they'll play and learn on their own.

As Wang Lin stepped out of the courtyard, he was surrounded by workers going to work.

Most people walk to work, while only a small number commute by bicycle.

Wang Lin watched the unique commuting rush of this era, slowing his pace and looking around.

When Qin Huairu, who was wearing the factory uniform, saw Wang Lin, she said to He Yuzhu, who was with her, "Silly Zhu! Look, isn't that Wang Lin!"

"Where is he?" He Yuzhu looked ahead and saw that Wang Lin's back was very distinctive and could be spotted in the crowd at a glance. There was no way around it; Wang Lin was too handsome, and all the young women around him were circling around him, making it hard not to notice him.

Qin Huairu pointed to a person in front of her and said, "That's it."

【The transfer station for world-weary novels: 2948327800】

He Yuzhu finally saw Wang Lin and exclaimed, "Good heavens! Wang Lin is surrounded by young ladies and girls!"

Wang Lin was also very distressed. He was just walking to the steel mill, but all the young women around him were crowding around him, almost blocking the road.

To get rid of the women staring at him, Wang Lin took off running.

Hey! Hey! Don't go, buddy!

"I haven't seen enough yet!"

A group of girls chased after Wang Lin.

Wang Lin was too fast, like a rabbit, disappearing from sight in the blink of an eye.

He Yuzhu said sourly, "Wang Lin really does have a handsome face! Even Yushui is captivated by him."

Upon hearing He Yushui's name, Qin Huairu immediately became gossipy and asked, "Shazhu, didn't your sister He Yushui find a beat cop? How come she's still entangled with Wang Lin?"

He Yuzhu said, not quite sure, "Last night, Yushui came back crying! She said she was blind and mistook someone for a wolf in sheep's clothing! I don't know if she was talking about Wang Lin or that beat cop Zhang Hao."

After listening to He Yuzhu's retelling, Qin Huairu said confidently, "It must be Wang Lin! That policeman is much more reliable than Wang Lin. He has a job and a future. It's better for Yushui to follow him than Wang Lin."

He Yuzhu thought about it and agreed. He planned to go back and give He Yushui a good talking-to. Dating and marriage are not child's play! You can't just be greedy for temporary advantages. What if Wang Lin's life gets worse and worse in the future? You'll have nowhere to cry.

The two walked and talked, and soon arrived at the entrance of the Third Steel Rolling Mill.

Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong had already arrived at the factory.

Xu Damao rode past Qin Huairu and He Yuzhu smugly on the bicycle assigned by the factory, carrying the movie projection equipment.

Wang Lin quickly found the factory leader's office carrying his things.

In the deputy factory director's office, Li Huaide, the deputy factory director, was leisurely drinking tea.

Wang Lin knocked on the door.

Li Huaide looked up and saw a handsome young man. He cleared his throat and said, "Please come in."

Wang Lin entered the office, handed the supporting documents to Li Huaide, and said with a big smile, "Director Li, my name is Wang Lin, and my mother is Mu Qing."

Li Huaide took the certificate and looked at it. It was indeed a document issued by the factory, with the factory director's signature and the factory's official seal.

Since Wang Lin was already eighteen years old, Li Huaide arranged for him to start working in the factory. He didn't pay much attention to such a small matter. After reading the documents, he was just about to call someone to take Wang Lin to complete the onboarding procedures.

Wang Lin placed the cigarettes and alcohol in front of Li Huaide and said, "Director Li! I wonder if our factory is short of purchasing agents? I know a lot of people who can get a lot of supplies."

Li Huaide assumed that the cigarettes Wang Lin offered were just Xiangshan brand, so he politely declined, saying, "Our factory's purchasing staff all have quotas, unlike the workshop workers who have it easy, protected from the wind, rain, and sun. They strive to improve their fitter skills and contribute to the factory."

Wang Lin gently opened the black bag, revealing the outer packaging of Zhonghua cigarettes inside.

Upon seeing the words "Zhonghua" (中华, meaning "China") and then the liquor inside—vodka—Li Huaide instantly held Wang Lin in higher regard and changed his tune, saying, "The factory does need a purchasing agent, but can you guarantee that you'll complete every task?"
