Courtyard House: A Great Musician! Red Songs Resound Worldwide

"We're so glad you could come! You're such a popular person, we welcome you to come often on May 5.8th."

"Oh, not at all. I just wanted to ask you about something. You know the steel rolling mill director, he comes here often, right?"

"I want to know if he pays on his bill, in cash, or something else when he comes to eat here?"

Manager Zhang became very sensitive upon hearing Li Chaoyang's question.

Although this restaurant is a state-owned enterprise restaurant.

But we also hope the place will be packed with people every day.

After all, only in that way can efficiency be improved.

Manager Zhang knew that several factory directors frequently patronized his restaurant.

However, Manager Zhang did not notice anything unusual.

These factory managers came here to eat, and they paid for it normally; there was nothing wrong with that.

"Chaoyang, is something wrong?"

"No problem, I was just asking casually."

"Oh, that's good. When they come, they make normal purchases and payments. They don't come often, just once in a while."

Li Chaoyang sensed a slight bias in Manager Zhang's words, as if he were protecting the factory managers.

It seems that these factory directors have colluded with Manager Zhang.

It's like I've already told Manager Zhang something. 01.

Li Chaoyang felt that something was definitely going on here.

I could tell from the manager's dazed look.

The factory managers here must have had an extraordinary relationship with Manager Zhang.

It's not something you can ask in just a few words.

Since he couldn't get any information from here, Li Chaoyang said goodbye to Manager Zhang.

Li Chaoyang had just stepped out of the restaurant and was about to ride away on his bicycle.

At this moment, a waiter from the restaurant came out and stopped Li Chaoyang.

"Wait a minute, are you Li Chaoyang?"

Li Chaoyang put his foot, which was on the bicycle pedal, back on the ground.

Looking at the girl in front of him, she looked to be in her early twenties, but he didn't seem to recognize her.

"you are?"

“My name is Liu Bailing, you may not know me. But you definitely know my brother-in-law, he is the factory manager of your steel rolling mill.”

After listening to what Liu Bailing said, Li Chaoyang looked her up and down.

Judging from Liu Bailing's uniform, she must be a waitress at the Plum Blossom Restaurant.

"Oh, I see. So you work at this restaurant? I didn't see you here earlier."

"It's okay if you didn't see me, but I saw you. You were having lunch with the manager in the lobby. If I had come out, the manager would have definitely docked my pay."

"I've only been here a few days, and I'm still in my probation period. I'm not a full-time employee here yet."

Li Chaoyang understood what Liu Bailing was saying.

It turns out she got here through connections.

Li Chaoyang felt that he could learn some secrets about the factory director from her.

After all, she was the factory manager's sister-in-law, and she knew more about the factory manager than he did.

"Oh, I see. Did you hear me talking to your manager just now?"

"I didn't hear you. I'm in the kitchen, so far away from you, how could I hear you talking?"

"Oh, that's good, that's good. Are you off work?"

"I haven't finished get off work yet. I just saw you come out and wanted to say hello. Actually, I really like listening to your songs and I really want to be your friend."

Li Chaoyang understood what Liu Bailing meant.

"Yes, I'm married now, you know that?"

"Can't you have friends after you're married?"

"Oh, no, no, that's not what I meant. I just wanted to let you know that I'm married now. Um, we can be friends."

Li Chaoyang has made his point very clear.

But you can tell from Liu Bailing's eyes.

She really likes Li Chaoyang.

They didn't care whether Li Chaoyang was married or not.

Her eyes revealed a deep affection for Li Chaoyang.

"Then you'd better go back to work quickly, otherwise it won't be good for you if your manager finds out."

"It's okay. My manager is very lenient with me. As long as I don't make mistakes in front of the employees, he usually won't criticize me."

"Besides, with my brother-in-law's influence, how could he easily push me out?"

Li Chaoyang understood the reason behind it and pressed for an explanation.

"Did your brother-in-law introduce you to this job?"

“Who else could it be? My brother-in-law is very close to the manager of this restaurant. After a while, they happened to be short-staffed, so he introduced me to this place.”

"Otherwise, I don't want to work in the steel rolling mill workshop. I'm a girl, and I can't do that kind of physical work."

"It's more relaxed here, and the food is better too."

"Brother Chaoyang, what kind of dishes do you like to eat? Tell me, and when you come next time, I can tell the kitchen to make them for you free of charge."

Li Chaoyang felt that Liu Bailing in front of him knew far more than he did.

Her previous job at the Plum Blossom Restaurant already revealed the factory manager's problems.

"Oh, so you work here. Where do you live? Do you also live near the steel mill?"

“Sigh, if I can work in the city, why do I still want to live back at the steel mill? My brother-in-law has already bought a house here.”

“My sister and I live here now, but I’m only staying at his house temporarily.”

"Luckily, her house is big with several rooms, otherwise I really wouldn't have anywhere to stay here."

The more Li Chaoyang listened, the more he felt that things here were not simple.

The former factory manager has already bought a house in the city.

Moreover, it was done secretly, behind the backs of all the factory employees.

Everyone assumed that the factory manager went home every day and lived normally in the factory area.

No wonder many people are wondering why they haven't seen the factory manager's wife and children for so long.

It turned out that the factory manager had already moved his home to the city.

"Buying a house here must cost a lot of money, right?"

Li Chaoyang's question immediately aroused Liu Bailing's suspicion.

Her sister once told her not to tell anyone that she lived here.

Today, Liu Bailing met her idol, and her mouth ran wild, without any restraint.

They've said everything.

After saying that, Liu Bailing regretted it a little.

"Sigh, it's not much money. It's a dilapidated house, about the same price as the factory housing. It's just an empty house, so why is it expensive?"

"This is to make it convenient for my sister to go to work and for my brother-in-law's children to go to school here."

"Oh, so your sister also works in this city?"

"Yes, my sister is now working at the city's supply and marketing cooperative. It's much better than working in the steel rolling mill workshop."

Li Chaoyang finally understood that the factory director had abused his power.

And she also managed her own factory's slush fund, and (nuonuo) arranged everything in her family perfectly.

"Liu Bailing, where do you live in this city? I'd like to visit you sometime."

Liu Bailing felt a little nervous when she heard Li Chaoyang say that.

My sister told me not to tell anyone about the house, but she let it slip today.

He then lied to Li Chaoyang.

"Oh dear, my memory isn't very good either. I've only been working here for two days, and my sister picks me up every day."
