Courtyard House: A Great Musician! Red Songs Resound Worldwide

Just as he was about to enter the door, Li Chaoyang stopped in his tracks.

I know that Ran Qiuye has just given birth not long ago.

It seems impolite to go in empty-handed now.

But it seems I don't have anything on me.

Think of this.

Li Chaoyang then went to the supply and marketing cooperative next door.

I bought two packs of pastries at the supply and marketing cooperative.

However, since he didn't have any money on him, he asked Xiao Wang from the supply and marketing cooperative to put it on his account.

I bought two more bags of brown sugar and 10 eggs.

"Xiao Wang, please put this in your account. I didn't bring any money with me today, I'll bring it to you another day!"

"It's alright, Li Chaoyang. Even if you don't give it to us, we won't ask you for it."

"How can that be? I'll definitely bring it to you another day."

Li Chaoyang came out of the supply and marketing cooperative, carrying these things, and came to the door of Sha Zhu's house again.

See Shazhu~ washing diapers for the baby.

Li Chaoyang knocked on the door.

Sha Zhu saw Li Chaoyang standing at the door, so he let Li Chaoyang into the house.

Ran Qiuye, who was still in the inner room recovering from childbirth, heard someone coming and asked Sha Zhu.

"Zhu Zi, who came to our house?"

"Ah, it's the curator. The curator has come to see you."

Upon hearing what Sha Zhu'er said, Li Chaoyang readily agreed.

"Ah, Ran Qiuye, I'm here to ask Shazhu something. You should get some rest."

As Li Chaoyang spoke, he placed the things he was holding on Sha Zhu's table.

He pulled Sha Zhu outside.

"Why don't you talk inside? What are you doing out here?"

"Let me ask you again, are you sure that's our factory manager you saw? Are you sure?"

"It's absolutely true!"

"Okay, if you're sure, I'll go check out this Plum Blossom Restaurant when I have time."

"Didn't you notice how they got to the Plum Blossom Restaurant in the city? Did they walk or ride bicycles?"

"They seem to be riding in a car, just like having a bicycle in this day and age would be a wonderful thing for us."

"The factory manager riding a bicycle is too low-key; they seem to be riding in some kind of car."

"I didn't see clearly. They came together in a small car, and when they went back, it was that same car that towed them away."

"That car looks like it belongs to the factory manager of the plastics factory next door."

Li Chaoyang pondered carefully. Although the plastic factory was quite profitable...

But compared to its own steel rolling mill, how can it be as profitable as the steel rolling mill?

The factory manager can actually afford a car?

Li Chaoyang decided to go to the plastics factory to inquire, and it just so happened that he knew Director Wang Zhong of the plastics factory next door.

They went directly to the plastics factory to find Director Wang.

Director Wang was very happy to hear from the security guard that Li Chaoyang wanted to see him.

Everyone in the factory knows the name Li Chaoyang.

Don't be fooled by the fact that Li Chaoyang isn't an employee of the plastics factory.

However, everyone in the plastics factory, from top to bottom, knew Li Chaoyang.

They also knew that Li Chaoyang had a steel rolling mill nearby, and they felt they could benefit from it.

Director Wang jogged out of the workshop.

Upon arriving at the gate, he saw Li Chaoyang already sitting inside, waiting for him.

Li Chaoyang also saw Director Wang running over, so he came out from the gatehouse.

"Li Chaoyang, what brings you here? Why are you so free today? Did you come to see me? What's up?"

"It's nothing serious, I just wanted to ask you about something small."

"Tell me what it is, and I'll tell you what I know."

"I heard that your factory manager has a car, is that true?"

"Oh dear, what's the big deal? Yes, our factory manager does have a car. But it's not his; it was bought by our factory."

"It belongs to our factory, and it's not new. We bought a used one, and even though it's used, it wasn't cheap."

"What will your factory do with this car?"

"Li Chaoyang, do I need to explain this to you? It's just for show. Every time the leaders come to inspect, we don't have any decent tools."

"Well, we can't just drive an oxcart or horse-drawn carriage there, it would be too low-class. After thinking it over, the factory manager gritted his teeth and bought this second-hand car."

"You know what, it really is quite convenient. Even our factory employees see the factory manager getting in and out of this car with such enthusiasm."

Li Chaoyang understood what Director Wang was saying.

The car in the plastics factory was purchased by the factory and belongs to the factory's property.

Then came the "990" question, posed by the factory manager of the plastics factory and the factory manager of the steel rolling mill.

And the factory managers of the surrounding printing factories often went to restaurants together. What were they doing there?

"Brother Wang, let me ask you something else. Do you know that your factory director and several other factory directors from the steel rolling mill and printing plant often go to the Plum Blossom Restaurant in the city for meals?"

“I know, don’t you know this relationship? Your factory manager and our factory manager are connected because of the relationship between the printing factory manager and us.”

"The printing plant manager is our factory manager's brother-in-law, and the printing plant manager's wife is your factory manager's relative, so they are indirectly connected."

Li Chaoyang never expected there to be this connection.

"When did this happen? How come I didn't know about it?"

"Sigh, this matter was already widely known before you came, but no one mentioned it after a long time, so of course you didn't know."

"However, they have only started seeing each other in the last year or two. They rarely see each other otherwise, as they are all busy with their own things."

"Brother Wang, have you ever been to the Plum Blossom Restaurant in the city?"

"Hey, can we go to that fancy restaurant? Besides, we can't afford it."

The information Li Chaoyang gathered from Director Wang convinced him that the steel mill director had misappropriated some of the mill's funds.

What does the factory manager want to do with this money?

Li Chaoyang was completely unaware of this.

Moreover, Li Chaoyang dared to assert that the amount of funds embezzled by the factory director was not small.

It might be vanity.

I noticed a car parked in the nearby plastics factory.

Although the factory's profits have declined significantly, it is not yet facing bankruptcy.

It's possible that during this time, the factory manager wanted to quickly accumulate some funds for himself.

I want to live the life I want.

Li Chaoyang wanted to stop the factory manager and urge him to pull back from the brink.

After leaving the plastics factory, Li Chaoyang went to the Plum Blossom Restaurant in the city.

The manager of Meihua Restaurant was also very familiar with Li Chaoyang.

I never expected Li Chaoyang to come here.

Li Chaoyang came here to find the manager directly.

When the manager heard that Li Chaoyang had arrived, he came out to welcome him warmly.

He then instructed the kitchen to prepare two dishes for Li Chaoyang, and put the bill on his own.

Li Chaoyang was very grateful to the manager for treating him so well, and sat down to have a detailed chat with the manager.

"Thank you, Manager Zhang. I'll come today. It's nothing major, just something I wanted to ask about."
