Chapter 162 Who is the eldest brother?

"Okay, since you've expressed your opinion, I'll be frank!" Li Baiwan stood up, patted Liu Shengli on the shoulder, and said righteously: "You should have a good rest during this period of time and take care of the incoming and outgoing raw materials for us.

The weighing room has just been replaced, and there are still many problems. You keep an eye on the rear for us. As for the contract, don't worry about it for now, I'll find a solution!

He said this with a smile, patted Liu Shengli on the shoulder, turned and walked out.

Liu Shengli didn't expect Li Baiwan to change the subject so quickly. He was stunned for a moment, unable to react. By the time he realized what was happening, Li Baiwan had already driven away.

The electric heater in the room was still emitting warm light and heat. He walked over to turn it off, then went out with the cup of water.

Li Baiwan drove Tian Xin home. As soon as he got in the car, he asked her, "Who is that big brother Liu Xin was talking about today? From what you said, he's from our factory!"

Tian Xin was replying to a text message and didn't pay attention to his question. She just casually replied, "Oh!"

"Oh what?" Li Baiwan glanced in the rearview mirror: "What are you doing?"

"Let me reply to the text message, what do you say?" Tian Xin frowned and lowered her head to type quickly on the keyboard.

The phone screen flashed and beeped a few times. It was obvious that she was very busy.

Li Baiwan smiled and said, "Xiaotian, you look like you have a partner?"

"No!" Tian Xin blurted out, and she answered quite quickly.

"No?" Li Baiwan laughed. "Then who are you texting? It's so late, and you're sending so many messages. Who else would have the energy to do that except for someone in love?"

"Uncle, you even know this!" Tian Xin finally raised her head: "But I'm afraid I'll disappoint you. The person who sent the text message was Zhang Shuai. He's been able to sit up these days and is reporting to me!"

"Really?" Li Baiwan sighed, "That's great! When you're free someday, go see him for me and bring him some supplements or something. It's a token of appreciation from the factory."

"No need for that. He may not come back to work in the future, so you don't have to be so polite!" There was another dripping sound in her hand, and Tian Xin lowered her head and started typing quickly again.

"Not coming back?" Li Baiwan asked suspiciously, "He's already so badly injured. Even if he recovers, he won't be able to do any heavy work in the future. He has no skills and no backing. Where else can he go if not coming back?"

"I have a backer!" Tian Xin lowered her head and replied, "I didn't have one before, but I do now!"

"Now that we have it, what does it mean?" Li Baiwan asked.

"He found his mother!" said Tian Xin.

"Have you found his mother?" Li Baiwan was stunned for a moment: "His mother hasn't come back for so many years, and you found her right away?"

"Yes, I found it. It's not far away, in Tongcheng." Tian Xin said: "Zhang Shuai can be said to have turned a disaster into a blessing. His mother is also a boss. She seems quite powerful!"

"Really? That's great!" Li Baiwan said, "It's definitely better for Zhang Shuai to stay with his mother than to stay at the factory. That's great, I support it!"

"You're supporting it right now?" Tian Xin was a bit amused. "A few days ago at the meeting, you said you'd keep these employees as long as the factory survived. How come you've changed your mind after just a few days? Without this capable person like him, you're losing at least 10,000 yuan a month."

This teasing was really cute, and Li Baiwan couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Of course I want to keep him. Didn't you say that he has a backer now, so we can't let him continue to be a peasant, right?"

"I'm just kidding, uncle, don't take it seriously!"

"No, no!" Li Baiwan stopped laughing. Seeing that she had put down her phone, he called out again: "Xiaotian!"

"Hmm?" Tian Xin responded: "What's wrong?"

"Who is this big brother Liu Xin was talking about today? From what you said, he is also from our factory?"

"Why do you ask that?"

"You kid, when your uncle asks you a question, just know the answer, don't ask questions!" Li Baiwan's face darkened, scaring Tian Xin.

"Oh!" Tian Xin said obediently: "It's Zhang Shuai!"

"Zhang Shuai?"

"Um!"

Li Baiwan was a bit incredulous: "How did they know each other? They're completely unrelated! How could someone as arrogant as Liu Xin be friends with Zhang Shuai? And even call him 'Big Brother'?"

"Unbelievable, isn't it?" Tian Xin laughed. "Some things in this world are just like that. You find it unbelievable because the difference in their status is so huge. But so what? Liu Xin, a grown-up, actually rushed to acknowledge Zhang Shuai as his big brother! I witnessed it with my own eyes!"

"Hahahaha..." Li Baiwan laughed out loud: "You're preaching to me!"

"No, I'm just explaining the facts to you." Tian Xin said, "Liu Xin respects Zhang Shuai because he stood up for someone he had no connection with, even being willing to take a beating.

I don't know what Liu Xin was thinking, but they had a fight, and then Liu Xin recognized Zhang Shuai as her big brother. She even offered double his salary to keep him. If I hadn't insisted on bringing him back, he would probably be a small boss now!

"Really? Then what you did was really not fair!" Li Baiwan complained.

"I'm not kind?" Tian Xin was shocked. "I was just trying to keep the factory running smoothly. You know the situation back then, so who was I doing this for?"

Li Baiwan didn't respond to this, but smiled at Tian Xin in the rearview mirror.

Tian Xin probably felt that her tone was too harsh and didn't dare to speak anymore.

The car quickly arrived at her door. It was dark, the dew thickening. Li Aiying heard the noise and came out, shining her flashlight around.

After seeing that it was Li Baiwan, he greeted him enthusiastically: "Director, why are you here? I'm so sorry to bother you to take Xinxin back so late!"

"No, no, you're too polite, sister-in-law. Xiaotian works for the factory, so it's just a small favor for me to send her back. It's nothing!"

"Why don't you come in and sit down?" Li Aiying said as she opened the door and invited Li Baiwan in.

Li Baiwan repeatedly declined: "No, sister-in-law, it's getting late and I have to go back. I won't disturb your rest. When I'm free another day, let Xiaotian take you to the factory for a tour!"

"Okay, okay, then drive slowly on the road!" Li Aiying said politely.

The mother and daughter were about to go back, but they saw that Li Baiwan did not drive away, but stayed where he was, as if he had something to say to Tian Xin.

Li Aiying laughed again, turned to Li Baiwan and said, "Then I'll go back first, you guys chat!"

Tian Xin watched her mother go in, then turned and walked to the car window: "What's wrong, uncle? Is there anything else?"

Li Baiwan pondered for a moment and asked her, "Xiaotian, is what you just said about Liu Xin and Zhang Shuai true?"

"It's true! What's there to hide?" Tian Xin stuffed her hands into her sleeves and shrank back in fear. "Didn't Liu Xin ask as soon as she came in? Big Brother, big brother!"

"So, if I ask Zhang Shuai to tell Liu Xin to put aside his prejudice against us and sign this contract properly, do you think it will work?"
