In the reborn era, the lucky bag is enjoying the show in the factory area.

Old Gao's expression changed, and he immediately stood up straight.

"Hey, Manager Hao's here!"

When Mine Manager Hao saw that it was Lao Gao, he immediately straightened up. "Old Squad Leader, how many times have I told you? Just call me Xiao Hao. Mine Manager or not, in front of you I will always be that greenhorn who just joined the army and served under you."

Old Gao shook his head disapprovingly, "What nonsense are you talking about? How old are you and you're still calling yourself a greenhorn? If people hear that, will you still be able to be the mine manager? What will they think of me, Old Gao?"

Alright, get to work. You're always rambling on; I can't be bothered to listen.

Despite being scolded, Director Hao didn't mind. He smiled, said goodbye to Lao Gao, and rode his bike into the mine compound.

After taking a stroll, Lao Gao returned to the guardhouse, where Shao Yang was talking to Xi Beizhan.

"Uncle Gao is back?"

"Xiao Shao? Are you on duty today?"

Shao Yang smiled and shook his head, "No, I'm off today."

Old Gao blinked. "Instead of resting at home sleeping in, what are you doing at the mine? Looking for your team leader?"

Shao Yang nodded. "He has something to discuss with our captain."

After hearing this, Lao Gao waved Xi Beizhan away, saying, "Hurry up, you've come to my door, why aren't you getting to work? Don't just stay here all day. How can such a big... important person like you fit in such a small guardhouse?"

Xi Beizhan stretched and said, "I know. You're always nagging me, never letting me have a moment's peace. I can't even hide in the guardhouse."

Old Gao kicked Xi Beizhan in the butt, "Get lost, what do you think my guardhouse is? This is a strategic location. Everyone who comes in or goes out has to pass under my nose. No one can escape my eyes, whether they are human or ghost."

Xi Beizhan cheekily approached Lao Gao and said, "There's a back door to the mine."

After saying that, Xi Beizhan turned and ran.

The old expert was quick; a teacup flew out.

Xi Beizhan was quick to dodge, twisting his waist to the right to easily avoid the attack.

As the teacup fell to the ground, Xi Beizhan ran while instructing Shao Yang to pick it up for Lao Gao.

"Quickly pick it up for Uncle Gao and see if it's broken. I have a new one; I'll bring it to Uncle Gao in a bit."

Shao Yang, who had just realized what was happening, quickly ran out to pick up the teacup. "I understand, Captain. Don't worry."

Old Gao chuckled as he took the teacup from Shao Yang's hand. "You little rascal!"

After finishing his rant, he looked at Shao Yang and said, "Don't listen to your captain. I can still use this. I'll ask him for it when it's no longer usable. You go ahead."

Shao Yang wasn't stupid. He knew that Lao Gao was an old revolutionary. If he hadn't been unwilling to cause trouble for the country and was all alone without any family, he would probably be an official in the armed forces department now, or even a high-ranking official in the province. He really didn't lack those things.

Moreover, everyone could see how the mine manager, section chief, and team leader treated Lao Gao. Just based on how Mine Manager Hao called him "Old Squad Leader" repeatedly, he could do whatever he wanted in the mine.

Shao Yang went to chase after Xi Beizhan. Old Gao turned on the radio, leaned against the single bed, and leisurely listened to Peking Opera with his eyes closed.

Xi Beizhan ran back to the security department, took the bicycle keys from Section Chief Xing, and quietly slipped out through the back door. Ten minutes later, he appeared at the train station.

Half an hour later, a tall figure appeared on the platform. He glanced around and immediately spotted Xi Beizhan, who was standing as straight as a pine tree.

"Team Leader Xi".

Xi Beizhan looked the newcomer up and down, then patted him on the shoulder. "Thank you for your hard work, Comrade Wei. Let's go home."

Xi Beizhan bent down and reached out to grab Xiao Wei's bag, but Xiao Wei wouldn't let him and pulled it back forcefully.

"I'll do it myself."

Xi Beizhan didn't force him. "Fine, do it yourself. We're all grown men. If you keep pulling back and forth over this little thing, people will laugh at us."

"By the way, Xiao Wei, you know, why didn't you mention you're Uncle Wei's son? If Uncle Hao hadn't brought it up the other day, I wouldn't even know you were working for me."

Xiao Wei raised his eyelids slightly. "There's nothing to say. My dad said I can't mention his name outside, and I'm not allowed to tell anyone about our family's relationship with Mine Manager Hao. I'll listen to my dad."

Xi Beizhan choked and looked up at Xiao Wei.

He suspected that Comrade Xiao Wei was subtly criticizing him, but he had no evidence.

After taking two steps, Xi Beizhan suddenly turned around and said, "Xiao Wei, the team is still short of a squad leader. You've done another good job this time, and I'd like to recommend you for the position."

Xiao Wei frowned and lowered his head in thought, "Is this a violation of discipline?"

Xi Beizhan rolled his eyes. "The mine isn't the military. Even if it were, the merit you made this time would be enough to get you promoted."

Don't worry, don't overthink it. I'll be here for you; you won't suffer any losses.

With Xi Beizhan's cunning mind, who could possibly make Wei Xin suffer?

Right? He didn't understand why Xi Beizhan wanted to protect him. Was it because of his father?

Xiao Wei frowned even more deeply.

He didn't want to use connections, but his father wouldn't allow it.

Seeing that Xiao Wei remained silent, Xi Beizhan wondered what he was thinking. Then, recalling what Director Hao had said about Xiao Wei, he roughly understood what he was thinking.

Sigh, no wonder Uncle Wei sent his son to the mine. Without his own people watching over him, how badly would he be bullied!

"You really helped me out this time. Come on, let me treat you to dinner."

Xiao Wei was a little taller than Xi Beizhan, standing at 1.9 meters. Despite his height, Xi Beizhan patted him so closely that he looked like a little chick. Xiao Wei obediently followed Xi Beizhan out of the station.

Father said that the person surnamed Xi was their family's savior. They could ignore everyone else's words, but they could not ignore the words of the person surnamed Xi.

He had to do whatever his father, surnamed Xi, told him to do; he couldn't argue or disobey, otherwise he wouldn't be worthy of being his father's son.

Xiao Wei glanced at Xi Beizhan, then quickly turned back as if his eyes were burning.

It's just that this guy surnamed Xi isn't very bright and is timid. He's completely controlled by his wife. If she weren't more skilled than him, he wouldn't listen to her.

Ah, he can't ignore it; he doesn't want to be without a father.

Xiao Wei looked conflicted and pained, and before he knew it, he was sitting in the state-run restaurant.

Looking at the braised fish, steamed carp, scrambled eggs with garlic sprouts, and sweet and sour pork ribs in front of him, Xiao Wei, who had been starving for five days, could no longer resist and grabbed a big white steamed bun and stuffed it into his mouth.

Seeing that Xiao Wei didn't even have time to pick up any food, Xi Beizhan felt sorry for him and put two pieces of braised pork on his plate.

Look how hungry the child is!

This child is suffering. Children who are separated from their parents all suffer. Uncle Wei is the same. How could he bear to send his son to the mine?

Thank goodness he came, otherwise this child would have been bullied terribly.

Alright, from now on this child will be his own brother. He should take good care of him. It will also fulfill the brotherly bond between his father and Uncle Wei.

Xi Beizhan ordered four main dishes and six steamed buns, but he didn't eat a single bite, letting Xiao Wei show them off.

Xi Beizhan knew what hunger felt like, so he didn't think Xiao Wei ate too much. After he finished eating, he even asked, "Is that enough?"

Seeing that Xiao Wei nodded to indicate that he was full, Xi Beizhan breathed a sigh of relief.

Okay, the child doesn't eat too much, so we can afford to raise him.
