Siheyuan: Qin Huai Ru, Dong Xu Qing You

"Don't just be happy. Do you know Deputy Director Yang from the Machinery Branch? He just went out. Go and take a look."

"Is that the one with a big black mole on his left cheek? I know him, Uncle Yang. Don't worry, I'll go right away." Damao responded, turned around and ran after Deputy Director Yang.

"Yang Lei, what did you ask Damao to do?" Liang Ladi asked Yang Lei curiously.

"It won't harm your son anyway."

"By the way, Yang Lei, I want our Da Mao to recognize you as his godfather. What do you think?" Liang Ladi suddenly had an idea. She wanted to use this opportunity to get closer to Yang Lei.

If Damao recognized Yang Lei as his godfather, Liang Ladi would have a reason to visit Yang Lei more often.

"No." Yang Lei refused directly.

Qin Huairu, Lou Xiaoe and Yu Li are all pregnant.

Yang Lei already has at least three children, so why would he adopt a godson?

Liang Ladi was not giving up and wanted to use this trick to win over Yang Lei's heart.

"Yang Lei, if you don't like boys, how about letting my daughter be your goddaughter?"

"Liang Ladi, what are you doing? Are you in such a hurry to push the child into someone else's arms?"

"Nan Yi, it's none of your business to meddle in my affairs!" Liang Ladi retorted.

Nan Yi came out of the kitchen and took off the white cuffs on his sleeves.

"Master Nan Yi, your cooking is really delicious, on par with the chef in our main factory cafeteria."

"Section Chief Yang, I can't say anything else, but the dishes I cook are among the best in Beijing." Nan Yi's mood improved when he talked about cooking.

"Haha, Nan Yi, you're out of breath even though I told you you're fat."

"Liang Ladi, why are you eating here pretending to be so serious? Isn't there a cadres' dinner today?" Liang Ladi and Nan Yi started bickering as soon as they met.

Yang Lei felt that Nan Yi and Liang Ladi were really enemies, but now there was a Feng Chunliu in Nan Yi's family, so he had to rely on Yang Lei's help to mediate this matter.

"Nan Yi, Yang Lei agreed to let me come to your place for dinner." Liang Ladi said proudly.

"Nan Yi, what does this have to do with you?"

"Okay, okay, I'm sorry for being nosy." Nan Yi stopped arguing with Liang Ladi.

"Section Chief Yang, I have a favor to ask of you.

If you agree, I, Nan Yi, will drink three glasses of wine to thank you." Nan Yi turned to Yang Lei.

"Master Nan Yi, if you have anything to say, just tell me directly."

"Section Chief Yang, Ding Qiunan is the goddess in my mind. I didn't catch up with her, but I just ask you to treat her well and treat her well for the rest of your life." Nan Yi stood up and bowed deeply to Yang Lei.

If others saw this scene, they would definitely think he was a very loyal and righteous person.

But in Yang Lei's opinion, things are not that simple.

It's true that you like Ding Qiunan.

The problem is that the other person doesn't pay any attention to you at all. You are just unrequited love and are one-sided.

It's your freedom to like her in your heart.

But it would not be appropriate to tell Yang Lei in person.

"Master Nan Yi, don't worry about this.

Qiunan and I truly love each other, and I will treat her well.

Master Nan Yi, I also wish you to find your ideal partner soon."

"My other half? Haha, I'm afraid I'll never find it in this lifetime."

Nan Yi smiled bitterly.

Ding Qiunan became Yang Lei's wife, and he felt empty inside.

"No way, Master Nan Yi, I heard you have a fiancée."

Yang Lei looked at Nan Yi with a smile.

"Nan Yi, do you really have a fiancée? Then why are you chasing after Dr. Ding? No wonder you didn't catch up with her."

Liang Ladi is outspoken.

"Liang Ladi, why do you believe everything? Section Chief Yang, where did you hear that I'm engaged to someone else?"

Nan Yi knew nothing about Feng Chunliu.

"Master Nan Yi, drink this cup first, and I will explain it to you slowly."

Yang Lei raised his glass and clinked it with Nan Yi.

He drank it all in one gulp.

Nan Yi was feeling depressed and wanted to drink something.

As a man, when you feel sad you want to drink, and when you feel happy you also want to have a couple of drinks.

Seeing Yang Lei drinking, Nan Yi also drank a glass.

In this way, Yang Lei told Nan Yi about Feng Chunliu in a disjointed manner. Nan Yi became more and more drunk and his tongue was not straight.

"Yang...Section Chief, don't listen to Feng Chunliu's nonsense! When did I, Nan Yi, ever agree to marry her..."

"Nan Yi, I despise men like you the most! You did it and you won't admit it!"

Nan Yi and Liang Ladi started arguing again, and Yang Lei could only try to persuade them with kind words.

In order to calm the two down, Yang Lei asked them to drink three glasses of wine each, which was considered a reconciliation.

After three glasses of wine, Nan Yi was already staggering drunk.

"Dake, carry Nan Yi back."

Yang Lei called out to Cui Dake who was busy at the table.

Although this guy relies on Yang Lei, he has not forgotten to expand his own network.

"Section Chief Yang, I've already asked Liu Ming and the others to send Nan Yi back.

I've gained a lot today, and I'll report back to you in private later." Cui Dake said with a smile.

"What are you reporting? Dake, have you forgotten the important matter?" Yang Lei glared at him.

"Section Chief Yang, look at my memory.

I'll carry Nan Yi over there myself." Cui Dake slapped his head, remembering that Feng Chunliu, a plain-looking man, was waiting for him in Nan Yi's room.

"Nan Yi is such a heavy kid." Cui Dake struggled to carry Nan Yi out, and almost bumped into Damao who rushed in at the cafeteria door.

"Liang Ladi is a real capable woman. She brought her whole family to eat the cadres' meal!" Cui Dake complained while carrying Nan Yi on his back.

"Uncle Yang, Deputy Director Yang..." Damao hadn't finished his words.

"Da Mao, let's talk outside." Yang Lei stopped Damao and saw Deputy Director Yang, who had just returned and looked nervous, so he took Damao to a quiet place outside the cafeteria.

"Da Mao, you can tell me now."

"Uncle Yang, Deputy Director Yang just met two people.

One of them looked rather shabby, probably in his forties; the other had a square face, dark skin, and was of similar age, probably in his forties or fifties.

They were whispering to each other, and I didn’t understand a word they said.”

When Yang Lei heard what Damao said, two names immediately popped up in his mind: Sha Zhu and Yi Zhonghai!

Yi Zhonghai once secretly sold brass from the factory at night, but was caught red-handed by the security department.

As for Sha Zhu, he was reported for beating Cui Dake and was detained for a few days before being released.

Sha Zhu, who had just been released from prison, heard that Yi Zhonghai was arrested. He thought this was a bit strange and believed that Yi Zhonghai could not do such a thing, so he ran to the security department and rescued Yi Zhonghai.

But after Yi Zhonghai was rescued, instead of thanking Sha Zhu, he scolded him.

Only then did Sha Zhu realize that he might have made a mistake.

Later, Yi Zhonghai gave him some advice and asked him to ask the senior leader for help.

Sha Zhu often cooks for his boss, and after cooking he plays chess and chats with him, talking about family matters.

The big boss liked this relaxed atmosphere very much and gradually developed a good impression of Sha Zhu.

The leader was not stupid either. He comforted Sha Zhu and said that the matter would be investigated thoroughly.

If Yi Zhonghai was really wronged, he would be given justice; but if he really stole public property, he would be dealt with according to the law.

When Yi Zhonghai heard this, he understood that there was no hope.

He did it, but he kept explaining to Sha Zhu that he did it to help the Jia family.

The Jia family was living a tight life. Jia Dongxu's appetite suddenly increased, and the family could hardly make ends meet.

He knew that going to the leader would not work, so he dragged Sha Zhu to find Deputy Director Yang.

Yi Zhonghai wanted Deputy Director Yang to help plead for him.

Others don’t know the relationship between Deputy Director Yang and Security Chief Liu, but Yi Zhonghai knows that they are brothers-in-law.

Deputy Director Yang was feeling quite conflicted, and even when he returned to the table, he still looked very worried.

He knew that at the Red Star Steel Mill, the only people who would listen to him were Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu. But now that Yi Zhonghai had made such a big mistake, how could he save him? If he didn't handle it well, he might get dragged into it too.

When Yang Lei heard that it was Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu who came to ask for help from Deputy Director Yang, he was also stunned.

He didn't understand why they came to see Deputy Director Yang at this time.

"Da Mao, did you hear what they said specifically?"

“Their voices were so low that I couldn’t hear them clearly.

But the ugly guy said that if Deputy Director Yang could help, he should go to the bridge arch under the overpass to find them.

He said this a little loudly, and was scolded by the black-faced guy.

"Fortunately, I was smart and hid in the flower bed so they didn't find me." Damao proudly showed off to Yang Lei.

"Well done, Damao, this is your reward." Yang Lei said as he handed Damao five dollars.

"Wow! Five dollars! Uncle Yang, you gave me too much!" Damao's eyes widened. You know, at that time, the largest denomination of money was only the Big Black Ten of ten dollars.

"Think it's too much? Okay, I'll change it to 50 cents for you." Yang Lei pretended to take the money back.

Damao quickly protected the money.

"Uncle Yang, who would complain about having too much money? I haven't eaten enough yet, I have to go back and eat."

"Don't run too fast, this kid is quite smart." Yang Lei said with a smile.

Yang Lei saw Damao slip away like a rabbit.

He touched his nose and thought that if he could recruit a few more kids like Damao and form an intelligence team, then the people in the factory security department would not be able to escape their eyes and ears no matter what they ate.

"Director Liu, Director Li sent someone to urge me to go back. He said there's something urgent. I'm so sorry."

Yang Lei had no interest in the dinner party at the machinery factory. He went back to inform Liu Feng and left.

He saw that Liang Ladi and her family were enjoying their meal, but he didn't go over to say hello, for fear of disturbing their enjoyment.

Director Liu sent Yang Lei to the cafeteria door with some apology, and said that he would come to apologize another day.

Yang Lei smiled and waved his hand, thinking that Director Liu was too polite.

"This young man is quite smart and will definitely have a bright future," Director Liu exclaimed.

"Director Liu, why are you standing here?" Cui Dake came back after seeing someone off.

"Nothing, just seeing Chief Yang off.

Section Chief Cui, you need to contact Section Chief Yang more often, as he is in charge of our cafeteria."

Director Liu turned around and walked back. Cui Dake felt a little disappointed, wondering why Section Chief Yang left without saying anything.

Chapter 98 Yang Lei is full of energy.

Although Liang Ladi was eating, she would look up at Yang Lei from time to time.

She grabbed her eldest son, Damao, who was about to eat, and asked, "Da Mao, why did your Uncle Yang leave?"
