Courtyard: Dagou is Arrested, Lou Xiao'e is Mine

Wang Qiang travels to the Courtyard. "My name is Wang, I am the strongest, I am the old Wang next door."

Living in a courtyard full of "beasts," he plans to try a new way of &...

Chapter 44: A lamb entering a tiger's den?

"That's true. What do you plan to do?"

Sister Chen's eyes were already red. She had never seen so much money in her eight lifetimes. She was determined to go all out; whatever Wang Qiang wanted to do, she would be with him.

“Sister Chen, here’s what I’m thinking: let’s withdraw the money first, and then we can trade some supplies. Right now, we can easily make several times or even dozens of times the profit with just a few flips.”

Wang Qiang's words made Sister Chen's mouth drop open, and she gasped for breath. This was something strictly forbidden. But often, the more forbidden something is, the higher the profit.

"Fine, I'll do it! I'll listen to you!" Sister Chen said through gritted teeth.

"Sister Chen, I heard you have relatives in Shaanxi. The mutton in northern Shaanxi is quite good."

"You've investigated me so thoroughly. But it's true. My sister is married in Shaanxi. She's Li Man's mother."

"That's great! Yes, do you think we could ask them to get us some mutton so we can bring it back and cook it?"

“That’s not difficult. My brother-in-law works at the livestock bureau over there. Here’s what I’ll do: I’ll write a letter for Li Man to take with her, and you can take her with you. It’ll also be a good opportunity for the children to come home and visit.”

"Sister Chen is so kind."

Wang Qiang happily hugged Sister Chen and gave her a big kiss.

"What if someone sees this?" Although Sister Chen said this, she had a sweet smile on her face.

Wang Qiang chuckled. "Who can see that?" he said, then hugged and kissed Sister Chen a few more times.

"Alright, alright, stop fooling around in broad daylight."

"That means we can make noise at night."

"You're so irresponsible. I'll talk to Li Man tonight, and you can leave tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll go to the transport station and drive the truck out in a bit."

Wang Qiang took the money from the finance department. Before leaving, he hugged and kissed Sister Chen for a while, and touched her a couple of times before leaving. This left Sister Chen breathless and her heart pounding like a deer.

Wang Qiang arrived at the transportation station and retrieved the truck. This transportation station was originally managed by Li Huaide, and upon seeing Li Huaide's note, they readily handed the truck over to Wang Qiang.

"Don't you need a driver?"

The people at the transport station saw that Wang Qiang was about to drive away. These days, being a driver is a lucrative profession. They were still hoping Wang Qiang would offer them some gifts before they even considered working with him.

"Director Li's note clearly states that only the vehicle was approved, not the driver."

Actually, this wasn't Director Li's oversight, because at that time there weren't many people who could drive, so approving a car was basically the same as approving a driver.

But because being a driver is a skilled job, they all need to be well-fed and cared for. So they live a life of luxury, waiting for others to come to them.

Wang Qiang figured it was better to avoid trouble. The transportation station was all Li Huaide's people, and if he brought a driver, things would be difficult to manage along the way. It would be better to drive himself.

So after Wang Qiang finished speaking, he put the bicycle in his car and drove away.

"Let him drive it himself and see how he manages to get the car back."

Wang Qiang drove to the factory office. He said he was going out to make purchases and asked someone in the factory office to issue him a letter of introduction. After preparing these things, Wang Qiang returned to the courtyard house to pack his things, preparing to set off the next day.

When an old man named Yi Zhonghai saw Wang Qiang drive back in a truck, he knew there was a big job coming up. So he called out to Wang Qiang, "Wang Qiang."

"Hey, old man, you can get out of bed now?" Old man Yi Zhonghai had been on sick leave and recuperating at home since he was beaten by Xu Damao.

"I'm much better now, I'll be fine in a few more days. Are you going on a long trip?"

"Ah, Director Li gave me this task: to go out and purchase some supplies!"

"It's too dangerous for you to go out alone. Why don't I go with you?"

Upon hearing about purchasing supplies, Yi Zhonghai's eyes lit up. This was a lucrative opportunity, especially since he was driving a truck to make the purchases. Even a small amount could feed his family for several months.

"Hey, sir, no offense, but you're still not fully recovered. Why are you coming out with me? If anything happens to you, I can't take the responsibility!"

Wang Qiang refused outright!

"Wang Qiang, the old man is right, it is indeed dangerous for you to be alone. You should find a companion!"

It was Qin Huairu who spoke. Judging from the light in her eyes, Wang Qiang knew she wanted to go with them.

"The factory hasn't approved it yet. Besides, we can't let a sick person go with us, can we? That's not appropriate!"

"What you said makes sense. Here's what I'll do: I'll ask the factory if I can go with you, so we can look out for each other on the way!"

Qin Huairu's words left Yi Zhonghai speechless. A man and a woman going on a business trip together—what would people think? This Qin Huairu is really bold!

"My illness is cured! I'll go to the factory to see Director Li in a bit!"

Yi Zhonghai, who was just looking sickly, is now full of energy.

"Fine, as long as the factory approves it, I have nothing to say!"

Just as they were talking, Sha Zhu returned.

"Looks like we're going on a long trip! Be careful on the road, don't get eaten by wolves!"

Sha Zhu dislikes Wang Qiang mainly because of Qin Huairu. Now, Qin Huairu's mind is not on him at all; she only cares about Wang Qiang.

"If there really are wolves, then let's make a wolfskin rug!"

Wang Qiang said with a smile.

"Okay, that's manly enough! Hey, Sister Qin, where are you going?"

As Sha Zhu was speaking, he saw Qin Huairu walking out and asked.

"I'm going to see Director Li; I'd like to go on a trip with Wang Qiang!"

After Qin Huairu finished speaking, Sha Zhu stood there stunned, looking at Wang Qiang and then at Qin Huairu, who had already walked out of the courtyard.

"broken!"

Sha Zhu quickly chased after him. He knew that this Director Li was a lecherous devil who had taken advantage of many people. Everyone in the factory knew about his affair with Liu Lan.

Especially today, when Li Huaide's wife came to catch them cheating, Liu Lan ran out of Director Li's office without even putting her top on properly, which was seen by many people.

If Qin Huairu goes, it's like throwing a lamb to the slaughter, or throwing a meat bun to a dog.

By the time he caught up, Qin Huairu had already disappeared from sight. Sha Zhu hurriedly headed towards the steel rolling mill.

Meanwhile, Qin Huairu arrived at the steel rolling mill and went straight to Li Huaide's office.

"Great! Great! Great!"

Li Huaide was in his office listening to the report from the transportation station, which said that Wang Qiang had only driven the vehicle away and had not asked for a driver. Although he knew that Wang Qiang was up to something, he chose not to interfere.

For him, whether Wang Qiang was making extra money or not was unimportant, as long as his own interests were protected. Seeing this, the people at the transportation station had no choice but to go back.

Just then, Qin Huairu knocked on the door.

"Alright, you can go back now. No need for a driver. Perfect, this is a long trip, so it'll save you the trouble!"

The man turned and left, opening the door to find Qin Huairu standing outside.

Is Director Li here?

Qin Huairu saw someone open the door and asked.

The man looked at Qin Huairu, who was plump and pretty, and nodded thoughtfully.
