Time flies, and before we knew it, it was the next day.

When Ma Hua strolled leisurely into the kitchen of the machine repair shop, he clearly noticed the strange expressions on everyone's faces.

They initially isolated the MCA, believing they were there to take their positions.

Although the MCA told them they were only sent there for a few days, they still didn't quite believe it.

They had always stood together to isolate the MCA. But after what happened a few days ago, they believed it.

Actually, MCA was quite happy to see them ignoring them. After all, none of them were good people. What kind of big shots are they? It's better that they ignore me.

Ma Hua now spends his days fishing and drinking tea, doing absolutely nothing, living a very comfortable life.

"Master Ma, come out with me for a moment." Nan Yi saw Ma Hua arrive and hurriedly pulled him out of the cafeteria.

"What's wrong, Master Nan? What's the matter?" Ma Hua asked, puzzled. Why did Nan Yi want to see him? Did he want to go fishing so early in the morning?

That shouldn't be the case. Although Nan Yi is a bit of a pushover and a sycophant, he's incredibly diligent and meticulous at work, much better than that carefree Sha Zhu.

“Master Ma, you should hurry back to the main factory,” Nan Yi said with a serious expression.

"Hmm?" Ma Hua frowned. What was going on? Did Nan Yi think he was taking his place? Impossible, Nan Yi wasn't that kind of person.

"Master Ma, you know I'm not one to scheme behind people's backs, so I'll be frank: Factory Director Yang is looking for me."

"They said they planned to transfer me to the main factory as the head chef," Nan Yi explained to Ma Hua through gritted teeth.

"And then what?" Tsk tsk, Director Yang is planning to take a roundabout route. He thinks Nan Yi is good, so he's planning to give up on Sha Zhu?

Tsk tsk, Director Yang, you're really not being fair. Liu Feng did this to entertain you...

That involved going against principles and withholding supplies, and you're turning around and poaching people's talent? That's really unethical.

Bah! You MCA people are so high and mighty. If you hadn't ruined Sha Zhu like this, would I have bothered to steal Liu Feng's girlfriend?

Since yesterday, when Director Zhang notified them that Sha Zhu from the steel rolling mill had been arrested for fighting and asked them to come and pick him up,

Factory Director Yang had already completely given up on Sha Zhu; rotten wood cannot be carved, and rotten wood cannot be supported.

But MCA wouldn't listen to him, so he had no choice but to turn his attention to Nan Yi.

"Of course I refused. I'm doing just fine here, why would I go to your main factory?" Nan Yi shrugged.

"Hehe, you're just reluctant to part with someone, aren't you?" Ma Hua chuckled, making Nan Yi a little embarrassed.

"How did you know?" Nan Yi asked, blushing. Was he really that obvious?

"Nonsense, anyone with eyes can tell. But Nan Yi, let me tell you..."

"You can't pursue someone like Ding Qiunan like that." Ma Hua sighed.

"Then, how did you pursue her?" Nan Yi asked hurriedly. He was having a terrible headache over this, having tried every possible method to win her over.

But Ding Qiunan was always indifferent to her. She was getting increasingly anxious.

“Ahem, one table!” Ma Hua said, holding out his palm.

"Pah, forget about a whole table. As long as Qiu Nan and I are together, and as long as we have enough ingredients, I'll cook anything I know how to cook for you," Nan Yi said anxiously.

"When pursuing a woman, you can't just keep fawning over her. Sometimes, if you reject her twice, she'll behave herself. If you keep fawning over her, she'll think you're weak."

They look down on you. Also, although I've only met Ding Qiunan a few times, I can tell at a glance...

She's a very proud person at heart, so you have to stand up for yourself, you can't keep groveling. A man has to be tough," Ma Hua sighed softly.

"Yes, Qiu Nan has always been a person with ambition. Let me tell you, Qiu Nan has been secretly studying medical books and is even planning to take the college entrance exam." Nan Yi said with some pride.

"Still want to go to university? That's hilarious. Don't you know what the situation is like outside?"

"Going to university? What a load of crap!" Ma Hua continued, seeing the bewildered look in Nan Yi's eyes.

"Then let me ask you, isn't Ding Qiunan the best doctor in our factory? And aren't all the unmarried young men in our factory pretending to be sick just to see her?"

"Yes, doesn't that just prove she's charming? So what if she's a good doctor?"

"That proves she's capable." Nan Yi still didn't quite understand. Why was Ma Hua asking him this? Didn't it just mean the girl he liked was outstanding?

“Yes, if you were the factory manager, you would let her go, right? I bet the factory has rejected her application to go to university many times already,” Ma Hua said.

Nan Yi then exclaimed with a sudden realization, "No wonder!"

"What's this all about? If you were the factory manager, you wouldn't let go either. And all you did was fawn over Ding Qiunan."

"Where are her family? I think she still has some feelings for you; you could try to win over her family." "Sigh, Nan Yi, he's just so straightforward."

Look at Cui Dake, he's shameless in pursuing Ding Qiunan. He won over her parents, then seized on what Ding Qiunan valued most, and when things were ripe, he slept with her.

"Well, we're not even dating yet, this isn't appropriate!" Nan Yi said somewhat awkwardly.

He hadn't even officially started dating Qiu Nan yet, and going straight to meet her parents would be incredibly awkward.

"Fine, then pretend I didn't say anything. You can just wait to be a bachelor for life!" Ma Hua chuckled. Wait, even without Ding Qiunan, Nan Yi is still Widow Liang.

"No, can't I just call you Brother Ma?" Nan Yi was also anxious. He really liked Ding Qiunan, the kind of love that went to the bone.
