"Brother, you're getting old, you can't take this kind of intimidation."

Li Chaoyang said firmly, "Director Wang, I'm not threatening you. I'm just setting an example for you."

“If Director Wang is truly upright and honest, there’s nothing to worry about. The organization might even reward you after hearing my praise.”

"When Director Wang gets promoted, I'll also have credit for it."

Upon hearing this, Factory Director Wang became nervous; he was genuinely afraid that this guy would mess things up.

So Director Wang leaned closer to Li Chaoyang and said, "Brother Chaoyang, what exactly do you want?"

Li Chaoyang laughed and said, "Director Wang, I'll say it again: you should stay away from Comrade Yu Haitang."

Factory Director Wang smiled and said, "Could it be that you, Brother Chaoyang, have taken a fancy to Comrade Yu Haitang?"

"Otherwise, why would you show such concern for Comrade Haitang?"

"If you really like her, I'd like to give her to you, hehe, that's not impossible."

Li Chaoyang said, "Don't assume everyone thinks as filthy as you."

"Whether or not I have taken a liking to Comrade Yu Haitang is a matter between Comrade Yu Haitang and me."

"It's not up to Director Wang to worry about that. As for why I should care, that's none of your concern."

Factory Director Wang couldn't quite understand Li Chaoyang's thoughts. He said helplessly, "Since you don't like Yu Haitang..."

"Then why did you get involved in what happened between me and Comrade Yu Haitang?"

Li Chaoyang looked very seriously into Factory Director Wang's eyes and said, "These matters are none of Factory Director Wang's concern."

"If you were truly in a relationship based on free choice, I wouldn't be here to say anything today."

"But I still need to offer some warnings about romantic relationships where the partner uses their power or influence to oppress the other."

"So, Director Wang just needs to remember to keep a distance from Comrade Yu Haitang."

Factory Director Wang was also quite helpless. He couldn't understand how he had offended Li Chaoyang.

He truly couldn't understand why Li Chaoyang was targeting him and wouldn't let him go.

Of course, he wouldn't believe a single word of the nonsense Li Chaoyang spouted.

Who would be so noble as to sacrifice for others without any personal gain?

Director Wang has already said everything he could to be kind and firm, and he has also said what he wanted to say.

However, it seems to have no effect on Li Chaoyang.

Li Chaoyang wasn't buying it at all, which gave Factory Director Wang a huge headache. He was still wondering whether to give up or try again.

Because of Director Wang, he believed that as the factory director, he had power and influence, and that Yu Haitang would eventually be conquered by him.

In time, Yu Haitang will definitely be accommodating to me and will like me very much.

If Haitang really doesn't listen to me, I can even use my power as the factory manager.

He wanted to force Yu Haitang to submit, so that he could eventually pluck this beautiful crabapple blossom.

Thinking of the image of Yu Haitang being picked by him, and of Yu Haitang's pitiful appearance of not daring to offend him, Director Wang couldn't help but feel secretly pleased.

However, Director Wang noticed that Li Chaoyang's attitude today was extremely tough, as if he was determined to achieve his goal.

But what should I do? How should I choose?

Factory Director Wang was still unwilling to give up, fantasizing that he should secretly test the waters again.

On one hand, Director Wang enjoyed the thrill of using his power to subdue the delicate Yu Haitang. On the other hand, he wanted to try again and see what Li Chaoyang was like; he simply couldn't believe that anyone could be so great.

Because Director Wang had been a factory director for many years and held a high position, he was also a somewhat arrogant person.

I don't like it now, and I feel inferior to others.

After struggling internally for a while, Factory Director Wang said somewhat nervously, "Brother Li Chaoyang, since we've already come this far..."

"Let me be frank—I really like Comrade Yu Haitang, and I want to be with her."

“But I think this really has nothing to do with you, and I don’t understand why you keep getting involved.”

"It's not the old society anymore. We now advocate free love. If you also like Comrade Yu Haitang..."

"We can compete with each other, so why do you choose to threaten me?"

"Could it be that Director Li lacks confidence in himself?"

After Director Wang finished speaking, Li Chaoyang looked at him with new respect.

He never expected that Director Wang would dare to make his point clear. Li Chaoyang curled the corners of his mouth and said, "Since Brother Wang has already made his point clear."

"Then let me state my position. What I mean is—about your relationship with Comrade Yu Haitang."

"It's completely impossible, no matter what method you use."

"I cannot allow you two to be together. As for why, you're a smart man and you understand it in your heart. I also hope that Director Wang will think twice before acting."

Factory Director Wang was very puzzled and asked, "Li Chaoyang, what is your purpose in doing this? What are you after?"

“I can tell that you don’t like Comrade Yu Haitang at all. There is no love in your eyes for Comrade Yu Haitang.”

"But why do you have to get involved in what's between me and Yu Haitang?"

"Could it be that you really want others to praise you as a 'good person'?"

Li Chaoyang said, "I've already said it, no matter what you think, no matter what you say to me."

“This matter between you and Comrade Yu Haitang is something I cannot allow, and it is something I must see through to the end.”

970 "Hehe, actually I don't know why I meddle in this stuff, but I really can't stand seeing women being bullied or wronged."

"Director Wang, just remember what you're supposed to do, and don't ask why anymore."

Factory Director Wang is feeling extremely helpless and incredibly disappointed.

But Director Wang still said, "Brother Li Chaoyang, what can I do to fulfill my wish?"

"Just tell me, and I, your brother Wang, will do my best to fulfill your request." (abfi)

When Director Wang finished speaking, Li Chaoyang was very angry and felt extremely uncomfortable.

Because Director Wang knew in his heart that he approached him because he couldn't stand the way the factory manager abused his power and harassed women.

The two went back and forth and talked quite a bit, but Director Wang was still unwilling to give up.

He attempted to pull Li Chaoyang into his camp and make himself one of Director Wang's allies.

They attempt to use small favors to achieve their own goals.

In fact, Director Wang didn't know Li Chaoyang well. If he did, he would know that he had kicked a hornet's nest today.

But not only was Director Wang unaware of this, he continued to provoke Li Chaoyang repeatedly.

So Li Chaoyang pointed his finger angrily at Director Wang and said, "Director Wang, do you think I have any right to do anything?"

"Is it that I can't do it myself and need your help, Factory Director Wang?"

In fact, Li Chaoyang created revolutionary songs as a way to protect himself during those turbulent ten years.

He never felt that his identity as a singer was anything special, nor did he care to use that identity for anything.

However, today he couldn't help but want to use his status to put pressure on this arrogant guy in front of him.

Is it because he's been in the factory manager position for too long that he's lost his temper?

After he finished speaking, Director Wang was stunned and immediately began to think repeatedly about Li Chaoyang's words.

As the factory director, he actually has some ability; he's just been in that position for too long.

Seeing others consult him on everything and flatter him, he gradually became a little arrogant.

His mind was also stuck in that nonsense, unable to break free, especially when he was talking to Li Chaoyang today.

Factory Director Wang has been constantly engaged in a battle of wits and courage, which has taken a lot of mental strain, so now his IQ seems to have plummeted.

He was still struggling to think—what did Li Chaoyang mean by saying that?

Could it be that he has someone behind him, someone older than me?

Otherwise, how could he possibly be so confident and daring to talk to me like that?

No, maybe Li Chaoyang really does need my help with something?

No, Director Wang felt his mind was in a mess, completely muddled.

Without thinking it through completely, Director Wang said, "Brother Chaoyang."

"Is there something you need my help with? If so, please don't hesitate to ask!"

"I will definitely be able to help you, and I will do my best."
