Siheyuan: Breaking off an engagement? Thanking the grace of not marrying

Liu Dingguo shook his head. Didn’t he want to too?

Xu Nuo said: "Old Chief..."

Liu Dingguo stretched out his hand and waved, saying: "Let's talk about this later. The chief's son has gone to the front line... Besides, there is a tough battle to be fought during this period, and the country needs me."

Xu Nuo nodded after hearing this, "Then I'll go there and ask around. Coincidentally, I met a young man some time ago who came to Sijiu City to look for his relatives. This guy also has the surname Liu, and he's very good at fighting."

Liu Dingguo couldn't help but become interested, "There aren't many people you can praise, tell me about it."

Xu Nuo said: "I and four other people from our bureau, five of us surrounded him together, but we couldn't hit him. From fighting with him, I can see that he has never led before, but his reaction, strength, speed, and endurance are very strong."

Liu Dingguo knew that Xu Nuo was not a person who would exaggerate. He was even more curious about this young man surnamed Liu. "This young man is quite interesting. When can I meet him?"

Xu Nuo said, "That would be great. I invited him to our Public Security Bureau, or recommended him to you, but he didn't agree. He is currently a quality inspector at a steel mill."

Liu Dingguo sighed and said, "It's a pity to waste such good material."

Xu Nuo said, "I'm going to Yan'an on business this time, so I'll check his background. If possible, I'll bring him here for you to meet. If you invite him, he will definitely not refuse."

The two chatted for a while, and Xu Nuo didn't disturb Liu Dingguo and drove away.

……

Near the end of the get off work day in the evening, Liu Haizhong went to the director's office again.

Liu Haizhong said flatteringly, "Director Fu, thank you for your cultivation. I will treat everyone in our team to dinner tonight. I wonder if you are free tonight?"

Normally, Fu Pingzhi would not go to such a dinner party.

However, Liu Haizhong would play a big role in the future, so Fu Pingzhi agreed directly.

Liu Haizhong was just being polite and didn't think Fu Pingzhi would agree. He even thought about inviting Fu Pingzhi to Hongfenglou for dinner on Saturday night.

Liu Haizhong's smile grew brighter. "That's great. We'll meet at 5:30 in the evening at Li's Restaurant opposite the factory."

After walking out of the director's office, Liu Haizhong held his head high, looked at the sky with his forehead and looked at the road with his nostrils. He felt so happy.

Director Fu really gave him face by attending this kind of dinner.

As long as Director Fu is promoted to factory director, then how long will it take for him to be promoted to workshop director?

Yi Zhonghai, let’s see who will make things difficult for whom when the time comes.

At half past five in the evening...

Five of the six fitters in Liu Haizhong's team came.

Liu Haizhong glanced at the clock hanging on the restaurant wall and asked, "Old Xu, why hasn't Old Chang come yet?"

Lao Zhao is the level six fitter who argued with Liu Haizhong.

Old Xu said: "Just now I saw Old Chang went straight home..."

Liu Haizhong's face was gloomy. This Old Chang really didn't give him face. When Director Fu came soon, it would be a good opportunity to make things difficult for Old Chang in front of Director Fu.

Just as Liu Haizhong was thinking about Director Fu, he saw Director Fu coming with a bottle of wine.

"Director Fu, you are here!"

Liu Haizhong immediately greeted him enthusiastically.

Fu Pingzhi smiled and said, "Come on, let's sit inside and talk."

Everyone surrounded Fu Pingzhi and entered the restaurant.

As soon as he sat down, Fu Pingzhi asked, "Where's Lao Chang?"

Liu Haizhong said: "I called him, and just now I heard from Lao Xu that he went back directly. If he doesn't want to come, then he doesn't want to come. He didn't even say hello. It's really..."

Fu Pingzhi heard the complaint in Liu Haizhong's words, he smiled and said: "Okay, Lao Chang is just like that, you don't have to take it to heart."

"I specially brought a bottle of Maozi today, thinking that everyone could taste it together. I can only say that Old Chang didn't have the pleasure to taste it."

Liu Haizhong's eyes lit up. This was Maotai which cost eight yuan a bottle. He had only heard of it but had never seen it before!

He said very embarrassedly: "Leader, how can I feel so embarrassed..."

Fu Pingzhi said nonchalantly: "You are the team leader today, and I haven't gathered with my brothers for a long time. Although this Maozi is expensive, it is worth it to drink it with you."

The fitters were all flattered.

At the same time, they were also very surprised. They didn't expect that Fu Pingzhi would like Liu Haizhong so much.

I have offended Liu Haizhong today, I am afraid I will suffer endless troubles in the future...

Maozi is a sauce-flavored liquor, and most people usually drink Erguotou or loose liquor.

It is easy to get drunk if you have never tasted this kind of sauce-flavored liquor.

Some people can drink 700 grams of Erguotou, but will get drunk after drinking 100 grams of sauce-flavor liquor.

After three rounds of drinking, the bottle of Maozi was already empty...

Liu Haizhong asked the waiter to get another bottle of Erguotou and continued drinking.

When the two kinds of wine were mixed, in addition to Fu Pingzhi, Liu Haizhong and several fitters also became a little drunk.

Fu Pingzhi and Liu Haizhong were sitting next to each other and were whispering to each other. The fitters were also chatting on their own and no one disturbed them or listened on purpose.

"Old Liu, what do you think of Yi Zhonghai?"

When it comes to Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong gets very angry.

What's more, Liu Haizhong now regards Yi Zhonghai as a competitor. When Fu Pingzhi asked this, Liu Haizhong naturally wouldn't say anything good.

"Yi Zhonghai looks kind and amiable on the surface, but in fact, he is a complete villain! Director Fu, let me tell you..."

Fu Pingzhi nodded repeatedly and said, "I never thought Yi Zhonghai was such a person. Fortunately, I asked you today. Lao Liu, as long as you work hard, I will definitely not treat you unfairly."

Liu Haizhong directly poured the remaining two taels of Erguotou in the bottle into the cup, "I, Liu Haizhong, will definitely go through fire and water without hesitation!"

After saying this, he drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

At around seven o'clock in the evening, Lou Zhenhua returned home.

As soon as I got home, I saw Lou Xiao'e reading a book in the living room on the first floor.

Lou Zhenhua said with a smile: "Xiao E, you worked so hard today."

Hearing Lou Zhenhua's voice, Lou Xiao'e threw the book in her hand away, came to Lou Zhenhua, and hugged one of his arms, "Dad, did you meet my savior today?"

Lou Zhenhua smiled and said, "My dear daughter, you don't have to deliberately call Liu Jianshe your savior. I met him today. He is a young man with ideas. I talked to him today and asked him to go back and write something. He will come to me the day after tomorrow. As long as what he writes satisfies me, I will definitely use him."

Lou Xiao'e was delighted.

The next day...

Yang Hongfeng put a stack of papers into a cloth bag and rode his bicycle to Lou Zhenhua's house...
