Siheyuan: No One Can Be Left Behind

The table was full, but there was no room for any dishes, so the waiter pulled the table next to it over to put the dishes on.

This made Yu Haitang very excited, as she had never eaten such a sumptuous meal in her memory.

Li Dongfang called out, and Yu Haitang immediately picked up several slices of mutton with chopsticks and put them into the copper pot. Watching the slices of meat rolling in the pot, she seemed to smell the delicious taste.

Yu Li glanced at Li Dongfang, but didn't pick up her chopsticks immediately. She said, "Thank you, Li Dongfang, but there are too many dishes. We definitely can't finish them."

"I just want to express my apology. I was busy yesterday and didn't have time. Besides, you can take what you can't finish and continue eating it in the evening." Li Dongfang said as he ate a piece of mutton and put it in Yu Li's bowl.

"Thank you." Yu Li expressed her gratitude quietly, her face a little red. After all, Li Dongfang was using his own chopsticks to pick up food for her. Even though he had never used them before, this intimate action made her, a virgin, feel a little embarrassed.

"Although the weather is not very suitable for eating mutton hotpot, I originally wanted to invite you to Quanjude, but when I thought about the ducks being as skinny as chicks, I decided to give up." Li Dongfang also took a piece of mutton and put it in his mouth, looking very enjoyable.

"Well, that's good enough." Yu Li was still a little uncomfortable and couldn't speak politely.

Li Dongfang also sensed it, but he still pretended to be casual and said, "Stop talking and eat quickly. The mutton cannot be boiled for too long. It is most delicious when it is 80% to 90% cooked."

Yu Li felt the delicious taste of the mutton in her mouth and started to eat it herself without any hesitation.

After eating for a while, they all felt a little familiar with each other. Li Dongfang began to chat with Yu Li and her sister about family matters. "Yu Li, where do you work now?"

Speaking of this, Yu Li pursed her lips, put down her chopsticks, and said with some disappointment: "I don't have a job now. I wanted to go to the steel mill, but... forget it, I won't say it anymore."

When Yu Haitang heard this, she immediately shouted, "Why don't you say anything? I'm telling you, sister, you're just too weak. Your job quota was taken away by someone else, and you just swallow your anger!" As she spoke, Yu Haitang stuffed a few slices of mutton into her mouth and chewed a few bites with gritted teeth, as if that was the person who bullied her sister.

"Hmm? What's the situation? Tell me." Li Dongfang became interested after hearing Yu Haitang's words. He put down his chopsticks, drank a sip of herbal tea and asked.

Yu Li glared at Yu Haitang and said, "It's nothing, he just has powerful connections. Forget it, there's no point in talking about it, it only adds to your troubles."

"Why don't you say it? I'm going to say it!" Yu Haitang pretended not to see her sister's glare and answered loudly.

Li Dongfang also wiped his mouth and said seriously, "Then Xiao Haitang, tell me what's going on. I still have some face in the steel mill. If I'm bullied, I can't just let it go."

Yu Haitang was eating happily while talking, and said, "It was during the mid-year recruitment season for graduates. My sister met all the requirements and had basically secured a job as an apprentice in Workshop 9. But the day before she reported for work, someone from the factory came to inform her that she had lost her job. Later, I found out that it was the workshop director of Workshop 9, someone named Guo Datiezi, who sold my sister's job quota to someone else and told others that it was his relative."

"It's Guo Dapiezi, not Guo Datizi." Li Dongfang corrected casually.

"No matter if he is a jerk or a close friend, he is the one who cost my sister her job. So what? Can you help my sister vent her anger? How dare a small section chief like you mess with the workshop director?" Yu Haitang glanced at Li Dongfang while stuffing the food into her mouth.

Li Dongfang licked his lips and smiled: "What year are you talking about? I am no longer a section chief now."

"Ah? You were masturbated? I was thinking that if you could help my sister vent her anger, I would admit that you are my brother-in-law. Looks like there's no hope." Yu Haitang pouted and continued to focus on eating.

When Li Dongfang heard this, he turned his head to look at Yu Li. Seeing that she was peeking at him, his eyes met. He immediately turned away with a red face and said to Yu Haitang, "What are you talking about? What do you mean you are my brother-in-law only after you have vented your anger..."

He suddenly stopped talking here. Oops, he accidentally said something wrong. How could he blurt out what was in his heart? How embarrassing! He quickly said, "What I mean is, no matter whether Li Dongfang is the section chief or not, we...we...can't cause trouble to others casually."

Yu Li's face was about to burst into anger after she finished speaking. She was usually quite eloquent, but why did she keep saying the wrong things today? The little thoughts in her mind kept coming out. She wondered if Li Dongfang would think she was too frivolous.

"Ahem, although I was fired as the section chief..." Li Dongfang kept the secret.

"I don't mind your position." Yu Li couldn't control her mouth again, and she wanted to smack herself in the face out of frustration.

However, Li Dongfang was very satisfied with what he said, and continued, "Don't worry, I haven't finished yet, but! I have been reappointed as the deputy director."

Li Dongfang smiled and raised his eyebrows at Yu Li. Yu Li was surprised and happy, but also felt extremely shy at the same time.

Yu Haitang blinked her big eyes in surprise and said, "You got promoted? Deputy factory director? Isn't that more powerful than that workshop director? Then you have to help my sister vent her anger, otherwise don't even think about becoming my brother-in-law."

Li Dongfang ignored what Yu Haitang said. He just turned his head and looked at Yu Li with a questioning look, asking what she thought.

"I...I'm fine. I'd better not cause you any trouble." Yu Li didn't dare to raise her head because of Li Dongfang's eyes.

Li Dongfang smiled. This meant that Yu Li agreed to Yu Haitang calling her brother-in-law.

"Don't worry about this. I'll take care of your work problems. As for that Guo the Dapiaozi, I'll make sure he gets a lesson."

Li Dongfang felt that it should be easy for him to take revenge on his personal grudge.

After eating a little more, Li Dongfang felt that he had eaten enough. Among all the people present, Yu Haitang was the one who ate the most. It was obvious that she was trying her best to stuff the food into her stomach.

"By the way, Yu Li, your neighbor is called Sun...Sun Xiu, didn't she tell you about me? Why didn't you think of telling me when you were bullied in the steel mill?" Li Dongfang chatted with Yu Li while drinking tea slowly.

Yu Li had finished eating by now. She stopped when she was 80% full. After all, even if she wanted to eat more, she still had to restrain herself in front of Li Dongfang so as not to leave a bad impression.

Yu Li glanced at Li Dongfang secretly and said, "Yes...yes, but I didn't mention your promotion. I thought you were still the section chief."

Li Dongfang thought for a moment and said, "That's not right. Logically, she and Xu Damao are dating, so there's no way she wouldn't know about it, unless Xu Damao didn't tell her."
