Courtyard House: A Great Musician! Red Songs Resound Worldwide

Li Chaoyang learned this through two encounters and conversations with Liu Bailing.

In Liu Bailing's mind, Director Wang was the pillar of her family, and his word was law.

With Director Wang acting as a go-between, Director Cui's matter was settled.

Although Li Chaoyang's idea was quite good.

However, Director Wang did not have a good impression of Director Cui at all.

I felt that Director Cui's garment factory was just a small factory.

Compared to its own steel rolling mill, it was nothing.

Li Chaoyang rode his bicycle to Zhuzi's house.

Knocked twice.

Is Zhu Zi home?

"Who is it?"

It was Ran Qiuye who opened the door.

Ran Qiuye is currently on maternity leave at home.

"It's you, come in."

When Li Chaoyang saw Ran Qiuye open the door, he asked her what was wrong.

"Zhu Zi isn't home?"

"You're not off work yet, what do you want? Why don't you just tell me?"

"Ran Qiuye, then I won't go inside. I'll just tell you here that the Cultural Center is holding a celebration banquet tonight and they want to find Zhu Zi to be the chef for 020."

“Li Chaoyang, I can’t agree to this. You have to ask Zhuzi about it yourself.”

"Zhu Zi has been quite busy these past few days. He works during the day and also cooks for his friend's restaurant in the evening."

"How come I didn't hear that Zhu Zi was doing another job? When did this happen?"

"Not long after, another person joined the family, so we needed to increase our income, right? Zhu Zi was just trying to do what was best for us, mother and child."

In truth, Li Chaoyang knew perfectly well that the child Ran Qiuye had was his own.

"The baby is almost a month old, right?"

"It'll be soon, in two or three days."

"There's not much going on at the facility, so why don't you stay home and take care of the kids?"

"Li Chaoyang, you don't need to worry. Zhu Zi has already asked someone to find me a new job. I'm going to work at the movie theater."

Li Chaoyang hadn't expected that Zhu Zi, who seemed so foolish on the surface, was actually quite something.

But when it comes to getting things done, they're quite honest and reliable.

I never expected that they could arrange for Ran Qiuye to go to the movie theater.

Although working in a movie theater is not as easy as working in a cultural center.

However, the salary and benefits at the cinema are not much worse than those at the cultural center.

Li Chaoyang knew in his heart that Ran Qiuye was avoiding him.

He wanted to distance himself from the situation and said somewhat embarrassedly.

"Qiuye, why bother? Isn't working at the cultural center perfectly fine?"

Ran Qiuye smiled and lowered her head.

"It was all arranged by Zhu Zi. I'll just do whatever he says. What a woman wants in this life is someone to rely on. Isn't it good to have someone to rely on? It's better than having no one to rely on at all."

Li Chaoyang understood the resentment in Ran Qiuye's words.

Previously, Ran Qiuye was always clinging to him.

I never imagined that now that I'm married to Zhu Zi, he'd completely forgotten about me.

This left Li Chaoyang feeling a little uneasy.

He reached into his pocket and touched it.

I still have a few food coupons in my pocket, as well as the wages I received the day before yesterday.

Take them out and put them together.

"Qiuye, this is a small token of my appreciation. The baby has been born, and we need a lot of money. Please accept it."

As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed Ran Qiuye's hand.

He placed the grain coupons and money in his hand into Ran Qiuye's hand.

Ran Qiuye pulled her hand back forcefully.

“Li Chaoyang, I can’t take your money. The child has a biological father. You don’t need to give me money. We can support ourselves. You can take it back.”

Seeing Ran Qiuye's coldness towards him, Li Chaoyang felt a little disappointed.

To be honest, Li Chaoyang was genuinely moved by Ran Qiuye.

It's just that reality prevents us from doing so.

"Ran Qiuye, can you please stop? I did genuinely like you before."

"Li Chaoyang, you shouldn't say these things. We each have our own families now. If you keep saying things like this, it's not good for anyone."

"It's nothing, you can go now. Zhuzi will be back in a bit."

Li Chaoyang never expected that Ran Qiuye and Zhuzi would have such a good relationship now.

The desire to conquer that I once had was instantly extinguished.

That's just how people are sometimes.

When Ran Qiuye used to pester Li Chaoyang, Li Chaoyang found it very annoying.

Now that Ran Qiuye has suddenly become indifferent, Li Chaoyang feels very uneasy.

Just then, Zhu Zi returned.

He saw his wife pushing and shoving Li Chaoyang, seemingly pushing something.

"What are you doing?"

Li Chaoyang turned around and saw the pillar, and said.

“Zhu Zi is back. I was thinking of giving your wife some money and buying some food for the kids.”

Zhu Zi saw Li Chaoyang holding a thick stack of bills and thought it was a waste not to take it.

“Wife, since it’s from Director Liu, let’s accept it. Director Liu is just showing his love for the child.”

Ran Qiuye didn't expect Zhu Zi to be able to ask for this money, so she didn't say anything.

Seeing that Zhu Zi was about to accept the money, Li Chaoyang readily placed the wad of cash into Zhu Zi's hand.

"Zhu Zi, there's something else I need to tell you. Tonight, I'd like to invite you to our cultural center to be our head chef."

"We invited Director Cui and Director Wang to have a meal at the cultural center today, but all we're missing is a chef."

"After much thought, I think you're the most suitable candidate. Could you do me a favor?"

Zhu Zi was very happy to hear Li Chaoyang say that.

I knew that everyone present today was a very important person.

It would be beneficial for me to meet with these people myself.

Since marrying Ran Qiuye.

Zhu Zi is very good at handling interpersonal relationships.

He always tries to cultivate relationships with capable people.

"Sure, Director Liu, I'm happy to attend this kind of event. Okay, what time are you going to start the meal?"

After Zhu Zi finished speaking, Ran Qiuye, who was standing next to him, was stunned.

Previously, Zhu Zi had shown dislike for Li Chaoyang in front of him.

They even wanted to stay away from Li Chaoyang.

He then transferred his wife out of the cultural center.

Unexpectedly, I actually agreed to Li Chaoyang's request today and went to the cultural center to cook for them.

"That's great! Let's go now!"

"Okay, I'll go home and change my clothes first. You can go back now, Director. I'll be there soon."

Li Chaoyang happily rode his bike home.

Zhu Zi and his wife walked into the house.
