Courtyard House: A Great Musician! Red Songs Resound Worldwide

"We should thank you, especially Director Cui, for your strong support of this choir."

"Without your strong support, we wouldn't have achieved such excellent results in this competition!"

The two of them were laughing and joking as they pushed their bicycles forward.

Factory Director Cui stopped in his tracks as if he had just remembered something.

"Li Chaoyang, now that we're in the city, I'll treat you to a meal."

"Director Cui, let's skip the meal and go back quickly. So many workers in your factory are waiting for you."

“Li Chaoyang, you should eat when you need to. I’m the factory manager, and the workers need to eat too. It won’t make a difference if we miss this meal.”

"Besides, you also need to eat, look, it's almost mealtime."

"Come on, I'll take you to a restaurant."

Li Chaoyang couldn't refuse Director Cui's kind offer.

They then followed Director Cui to the Plum Blossom Restaurant in the city.

"Li Chaoyang, I've been to this restaurant twice, and the food here is delicious."

"I haven't been to any other restaurants, so I'll treat you to a meal here today. What do you think?"

"Alright, Director Cui, thank you for spending the money."

"Hey, Li Chaoyang, isn't that being too formal?"

Li Chaoyang and Factory Director Cui parked their bicycles.

I walked into the Plum Blossom Restaurant.

It was already past lunchtime.

There weren't that many guests.

Li Chaoyang and Factory Director Cui chose a seat towards the back and sat down.

"Li Chaoyang, what would you like to eat? I'll order you some stir-fried pork with green peppers, a peanut, and another one..."

Before Director Cui could finish speaking, Li Chaoyang snatched the menu from his hand.

"Alright, 5.9, Lao Cui, these two dishes are enough for the two of us. How much can we eat? Order less, just enough is fine."

"That won't do. I have to order it to thank you."

"Old Cui, you don't treat me like one of your own, you're being so distant with me."

"How about we skip all that formality? If we can't finish it, it'll just be a waste. Order only what you can eat, listen to me."

When Director Cui saw Li Chaoyang, he seemed a little unhappy.

So he stopped trying to take the menu from Li Chaoyang.

"Okay, it's up to you."

“That’s right! Director Cui, we’re all just wage earners, it’s not easy for us either. There’s no need for us to put on airs. I don’t really like formalities either.”

"Li Chaoyang, I didn't expect that you, who seemed so imposing, would be so easy to get along with. That's beyond my expectations."

"I've heard your songs before, and I'm already very familiar with your name."

"But I didn't expect that you are a completely different person from the way you sing."

"The power in your singing makes people feel intimidated. But once you get to know you as a person, you find that you are a really nice person."

"Director Cui 01, is that the impression I left on you?"

"Hehe, it seems that people still need to get to know each other gradually. If you don't get to know each other, your misunderstandings will only deepen!"

Soon the waiter brought out the two dishes.

Ask Li Chaoyang and Factory Director Cui what they want to eat as their staple food.

Factory Director Cui questioned Li Chaoyang.

Li Chaoyang felt that he hadn't eaten sugar pancakes in a long time.

I asked the waiter to make me two sugar pancakes.

Seeing Li Chaoyang eating sugar pancakes, Director Cui also ordered two sugar pancakes for himself.

He even asked Li Chaoyang if two sugar pancakes were enough.

Otherwise, add a few more sheets.

Li Chaoyang rejected it again.

"Order only what you can eat, otherwise it'll be a waste. Their sugar pancakes are huge, about the size of this plate; two pancakes are enough!"

"Li Chaoyang, don't go out of your way to save money for me. I can afford to treat you to a meal."

"Director Cui, I know your capabilities, but I don't have that kind of stomach."

Upon hearing what Li Chaoyang said, Director Cui burst into laughter.

Li Chaoyang and Factory Director Cui were in the restaurant, halfway through their meal.

The kitchen foreman is Liu Bailing, who is also the sister-in-law of Factory Director Wang.

The waiter told me that Li Chaoyang had come here to eat.

"Cui'er, are you sure you're not mistaken? Is it really Li Chaoyang who's here for dinner?"

"Squad leader, why would I lie to you? If you don't believe me, go to the front hall and take a look. It's at that table in the southwest corner. There aren't many people in the restaurant right now, just a few tables."

"Cui'er, keep an eye on things for me. I'm going to the front hall to check. If the manager comes looking for me later, just tell him I went to the restroom."

"Okay, sis, you go ahead."

Liu Bailing walked towards the front hall, looking left and right.

Not finding the manager in the lobby, he walked into the hotel lobby without any hesitation.

I recognized Li Chaoyang at a glance.

He immediately broke into a bright smile, quickened his pace, and walked towards Li Chaoyang's dining table.

"Brother Chaoyang, you're here for dinner today? Oh, you've already eaten halfway through. What else would you like to eat? Tell me, and I'll add two more dishes for you."

Li Chaoyang and Factory Director Cui heard Liu Bailing's voice and looked up at Liu Bailing almost simultaneously.

Factory Director Cui was immediately captivated by Liu Bailing in front of him.

She was in her early twenties and had a long, black braid.

With big eyes, cherry lips, and fair skin, she is beautiful to everyone who looks at her.

Li Chaoyang also saw Liu Bailing and said.

"Oh, no need, no need, we're almost finished eating, you can go about your business."

Li Chaoyang's impression of Liu Bailing was so-so.

Although Liu Bailing is indeed very beautiful.

But Li Chaoyang always felt that Liu Bailing seemed a bit dim-witted.

Their enthusiasm was excessive, almost unbearable.

Actually, Liu Bailing isn't this enthusiastic towards everyone.

She's only so enthusiastic towards people she likes.

Factory Director Cui's gaze remained fixed on Liu Bailing's face. Seeing that Li Chaoyang recognized Liu Bailing, he asked Li Chaoyang.

"Li Chaoyang, and who is this?"

"This is Liu Bailing, the sister-in-law of Director Wang from the steel rolling mill."

After Li Chaoyang finished speaking, Liu Bailing immediately looked at Director Cui, who was sitting opposite Li Chaoyang.

Factory Director Cui straightened his back, making a point of posing upright.

Li Chaoyang also saw through Director Cui's intentions, so he said to Liu Bailing.

"This is Director Cui of the garment factory."

"Hello, Director Cui."

The tone of Director Cui's voice when speaking to Liu Bailing immediately changed.

"Liu Bailing, I think I didn't see you here last time I came. Are you new here?"

"Yes, I've been working here for about three months now."

"I was telling you, it seems like the last time I came here was about six months ago."

After answering Director Cui's question, Liu Bailing quickly turned her gaze back to Li Chaoyang.

"Brother Chaoyang, I heard you brought your choir here to participate in the competition today. How did it go? What were the results?"

Upon hearing Liu Bailing ask this question, Li Chaoyang felt a surge of joy.
