Siheyuan: No One Can Be Left Behind

Li Dongfang rolled his eyes immediately. What does this shaking head mean?

In the evening, Li Dongfang returned to the courtyard and prepared to do some minor repairs as it was indeed worn out a bit last night.

But having provoked so many people, it's not easy to take a rest.

Lin Shu, who is just getting started, Zhao Juan, who is as hungry as a wolf and a tiger, and Sun Xiu, who is pregnant (it is said that women in this period have special needs).

I originally just wanted to have a good sleep with Lin Shu in my arms, but how did it turn out like this?

Li Dongfang woke up in the morning, lying on the bed looking at the ceiling, not knowing whether he was too nostalgic about the four-person mahjong game or reflecting on the sage time.

After a quick breakfast, Li Dongfang went to the steel mill first. The army and public security personnel had already reported, and Li Dongfang needed to make some arrangements. Although they were nominally from the steel mill, everyone, both above and inside the factory, knew that they were basically there to protect Li Dongfang. It was not an exaggeration to say that they were Li Dongfang's personal force.

Li Dongfang separated the four women. He arranged one person to stay in each of the courtyards of Lou Xiao'e, Qin Huairu and Wang Fang permanently, and one person was assigned as a temporary mobile. Li Dongfang arranged for her to live in the courtyard usually and keep an eye on the situation in the courtyard.

As for the 10 scouts, Li Dongfang made the same arrangement, dividing them into three groups, with the extra person in the middle to serve as a mobile substitute.

As their own security force, Li Dongfang would definitely not be stingy. In addition to the salary from the steel rolling mill, Li Dongfang would also send them various supplies from time to time so that their families could live a better life.

After arranging all this, Li Dongfang met with Director Yang again, hoping that the steel rolling mill could produce another batch of fighter plane parts.

Factory Director Yang would certainly not object to this. After all, this was a good opportunity to improve the status of the steel rolling mill. If things went well, it would be possible to expand it into a fighter plane parts processing branch. Then he would not have to worry about the credit in the future. The next time the department held a meeting, that would be the day for him, Yang, to be proud.

After finishing these things, Li Dongfang saw that it was almost noon. Thinking of the canteen, he immediately thought of Kong Yuqin, whom he had thought of two days ago. He didn't even think about whether she had been harmed by Guo Dapiezi. So he rolled his eyes and called a secretarial officer who was passing by, asking him to ask Guo Dapiezi to come and see him.

Li Dongfang didn't have to wait long, Guo Dapiezi came over jogging.

"Director Li, are you looking for me?" Guo Dapiezi smiled flatteringly.

"Well, Director Guo, I haven't seen you for a long time. Do you have time at noon? Let's have a quick meal together?" Li Dongfang also said with a smile.

Guo Dapiaozi immediately became alert. He had no friendship with Deputy Director Li. On the contrary, he had offended him last time due to the job quota issue. Even if he invited him to dinner later to put the matter behind him...wait, it seemed that he and he had only had contact during that dinner. Did he remember the person he had dinner with that day?

Who could it be? This was a question, but after a little thought, Xu Huizhi was ruled out.

"Oh, Director Li, I have wanted to invite you for a long time. You are always elusive, so I don't have any chance. I will treat you at noon, and you must do me the honor of coming." Guo Dapiezi figured out the important point and spoke immediately.

Anyway, I have been planning for so long and still haven't succeeded in getting Kong Yuqin, so I might as well do Li Dongfang a favor. If he can climb up, then it's his ability, but if he can't, it has nothing to do with me and I can't blame him.

Li Dongfang looked at Guo Dapiaozi with a smile and nodded, "I have to pay for this meal, otherwise I won't go. But if there are too few people for this meal..."

"Don't worry, after the last meal, Yuqin often mentioned you to me and wanted to listen to your teachings." Guo Dapiezi explained quickly.

After saying that, he looked at Li Dongfang. Seeing the look of "there's still something to worry about" on Li Dongfang's face, his heart skipped a beat. Not only Kong Yuqin, it seemed that he didn't plan to let Xu Huizhi go as well.

But it’s okay. Xu Huizhi’s man ran away. If she could get close to Li Dongfang, it would be a good thing. It might be beneficial to her in the future.

"Yes, yes, and Huizhi as well." Guo Dapiaozi quickly added with a flattering look on his face.

Li Dongfang nodded with satisfaction and said, "Then we'll go to the Old City Gate Restaurant at the factory gate. I'll wait for you."

As he spoke, Li Dongfang patted Guo Dapiezi on the shoulder.

Guo Dapiezi was patted on the shoulder by a young man who was ten or twenty years younger than him, but he still managed to smile. Li Dongfang had to admire that he really had the potential to be an official.

After leaving Li Dongfang's office, Guo Dapiezi went straight to Kong Yuqin and persuaded her to have lunch at noon. Then he ran back home. It was because his home was not far from the factory, otherwise he might not have made it in time.

When Xu Huizhi heard that Li Dongfang wanted to treat her to a meal, she was a little bit unbelieving. Last time, Li Dongfang's attitude towards her could be described as disgusting, but today he seemed like a suddenly different person and even named her.

After confirming it again and again, she had to believe it, but her mind suddenly became active.

Just as they were rushing to the hotel, Li Dongfang and Lin Shu were sitting at a table in the corner of the hotel chatting.

There is no such thing as private rooms in today's hotels. Most of them treat everyone equally, with just one big room.

"Shu'er, don't look at me like that. You know I'm different from others." Li Dongfang explained to Lin Shu with a flattering look on his face.

"What does this have to do with your philandering? Have you forgotten your back pain?" Lin Shu glared at him.

"I'll tell you the truth, but you have to keep it a secret." Li Dongfang leaned closer to Lin Shu and said mysteriously.

Lin Shu immediately leaned back and said, "If you have something to say, just say it. Don't get so close to me!"

"This is not a secret, and I swear that what I said is absolutely true." Li Dongfang stretched out his hand solemnly.

"Really?" Lin Shu's eyes were full of disbelief.

"real!"

"Then you say." Lin Shu then put his ear close to Li Dongfang.

"The reason why I have so many girlfriends is because I'm looking for inspiration. Sometimes, inspiration pops up suddenly when I'm doing something, just like a fighter plane. At first, there is only one engine, and then as more people come, it is gradually completed. Isn't it amazing?" Li Dongfang just finished speaking seriously, and with a "pa" sound, Lin Shu slapped his thigh.

"You just talk nonsense. Do you think I will believe your lies? If you dare to flirt with others today, I will call all your women together and let them listen to your lies!" Lin Shu felt that Li Dongfang was deceiving her and was immediately furious.
