"Ouch." The pain in Cui Dake's hand hadn't subsided when he felt as if a rock had hit his head again.

It let out a wail and ran into the yard.

Cui Dake's escape startled the onlookers.

"Damn it! Don't come any closer!" The crowd erupted in chaos, scattering in all directions away from the Jia family's house.

Madam Jia Zhang also belatedly realized what was happening and ran out of the Jia family compound, then knelt down directly in the direction of the Jia family compound.

He shouted loudly, "Old Jia, I know I was wrong, but you've been gone for so many years!"

I have no choice, please! I just became a "middle-aged woman," and it's only my first day!

Please, just let me go. And if you're going to look for someone, look for those two little bitches, Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu.

"They're the ones who caused the Jia family line to end; it really isn't my fault."

Jia Zhangshi cried her heart out, "I finally became a middle-aged woman! Just let me be powerful for a few days!"

When everyone heard Jia Zhangshi mention Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu, they all looked at the two of them.

The two people, their faces ashen, were hiding behind the crowd.

Seeing everyone's gaze fixed on him, Yi Zhonghai forced himself to stand and said to the crowd, "Pah!"

You believe what Jia Zhangshi said? That's all feudal superstition, you can't believe it!! It was just a coincidence!

"Yes, Lao Yi is right, it really is a coincidence!! It's a coincidence." Qin Huairu also shouted loudly, "It's a coincidence, but it doesn't have to be a coincidence."

At this moment, Cui Dake also realized what was happening and shouted at Jia Zhangshi, "Xiao Hua, shut up!"

This is a coincidence; it was just a gust of wind! Superstition is unacceptable.

No demons or monsters can defeat our sports meet!

Upon hearing Cui Dake's words, someone asked in a low voice, "Then, Uncle Cui,..."

What happened to your roof? How did it all disappear overnight?

"What?! The roof?! You mean my roof? My roof was stolen!"

"Yes, it was stolen," Cui Dake said slowly after a moment's thought.

"My roof was burgled last night. Did any of you go out last night and see who the thief was?"

"If you see it, remember to tell me. There's a reward for reporting it," Cui Dake said slowly, glancing at everyone.

Everyone curled their lip in disbelief at Cui Dake's words. Who would believe that?

However, no one bothered to refute it. They all looked at Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu.

This made Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu feel somewhat uncomfortable. Yi Zhonghai angrily shouted at the crowd:

"What are you looking at? Why are you looking at me?"

"Pfft, Yi Zhonghai, what are you looking at me for? We live in a courtyard house."

Aren't you and Qin Huairu the ones who love to get up in the middle of the night? We're just curious.

"Did you guys go out last night? Did you see who the thief was?" the man joked.

"Hahahaha." Everyone burst into laughter when they heard their neighbor say that. You're really witty.

Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu love to go out in the middle of the night; it's hilarious.

Yi Zhonghai naturally understood the implication in the man's words. His face darkened, and he was about to unleash a torrent of curses...

But then the man slowly said, "Yi Zhonghai, I'm sorry, I forgot."

"Now that you and Qin Huairu have a marriage certificate, you don't need to go to the cellar in the middle of the night anymore. I'm sorry, I apologize."

Yi Zhonghai simply snorted coldly, no longer bothering to argue. The more he talked about it, the worse it got, and it was impossible to explain.

Cui Dake thought it was some kind of clue, but he didn't expect it to be about this.

Cui Dake really didn't know that Qin Huairu had previously gone to the cellar with Yi Zhonghai. Could it be that he could too?

"Alright, let's leave it at that. I'll have the security department investigate."

"Everyone, hurry up and get to work, don't be late for work." Cui Dake made the final decision and said to everyone.

Hearing what Cui Dake said, everyone had no choice but to go home, pack their things, and go to work.

Ma Hua and Yan Bugui exchanged a glance, and then Ma Hua got on his bicycle and headed straight for the machine repair shop.

When Ma Hua arrived at the entrance of the machine repair shop, he saw Jiao Min leading a group of people guarding the gate.

When Jiao Min saw Ma Hua riding over, he immediately ordered his men to stop Ma Hua.

"Hey, what does this mean? What's wrong? The factory's closed for the holidays, so we don't have to go to work?" Ma Hua looked at Jiao Min with some surprise.

Hearing Ma Hua say that, Jiao Min became even angrier and shouted at Ma Hua in a somewhat annoyed tone:

The machine repair shop's new regulations require that gymnastics skills be performed to a standard before entry.

"When did it start? I didn't know." Ma Hua frowned slightly. This woman...

Seriously. They don't do anything important at all.

"What's wrong? This is a factory decision. The leaders had a meeting; why would they need to notify you? Just do as they say."

"If you want to get a job in the factory, you have to do gymnastics here. If you don't do it well during working hours, you'll be marked late!!"

Jiao Min retorted sharply, "Hmph, I already asked that!"

Gymnastics? Ma Hua clearly hasn't learned any of that. I'd like to see how you get into the factory and get to work today.

Upon hearing this, Ma Hua immediately turned around and rode away on his bicycle. "Leaving early? Screw you!"

I'm not one of your machine repair shop employees, why should I put up with your nonsense?

Jiao Min watched Ma Hua ride away on his bicycle, and angrily jumped up and down cursing. Then she shouted at her subordinates:

Write this down: MCA disrespects his superiors, is late!! Leaves early!! Deduct his salary!!

"Ahem, boss, we can take notes, but we can't deduct Ma Hua's salary, can we?"

"Ma Hua's salary is paid by the head office," Jiao Min's subordinate said somewhat embarrassedly to Jiao Min.

Upon hearing this, everyone else looked at Jiao Min with amused expressions. Jiao Min had really embarrassed herself today.

Ma Hua and others rode their bikes straight to the steel rolling mill, intending to test Li Huaide's attitude towards them.

When Ma Hua arrived at the steel rolling mill by bicycle, he saw Cui Dake leading a group of people.

They marched out of the steel rolling mill in a grand procession.

Ma Hua was still somewhat surprised, wondering what Cui Dake was up to. Just as Ma Hua was wondering...

Then they heard the security guard at the gate call out to Ma Hua, "Hey, Mr. Ma, long time no see! You've been transferred back?"

"Long time no see! Didn't you get transferred back? I just came to the factory on business."

Ma Hua shook his head and explained.

"Ah, I thought I'd get to eat Chef Ma's cooking again! Look at this..."

Xiao Wang from the security department said with some disappointment.

"Hey, Mr. Ma Hua, could you come here for a moment?" Xiao Wang from the security department looked around to make sure no one was watching.

He quietly reached out his hand to the MCA.

Although Ma Hua was puzzled, he still walked over and asked in surprise, "What's wrong?"

"Master Ma, would you like a cigarette?" Ma Hua didn't expect that Xiao Wang from the security department would not say anything but instead offer him a cigarette.

Ma Hua was puzzled. What was going on? He wasn't familiar with him at all. What was going on?

Could it be that he wants me to cook for him?

Ma Hua didn't answer; instead, his eyes were fixed on Xiao Wang from the security department.
