Ye Shuning also wanted to gain experience in building houses. She asked Ma Guangzhong, who had been following Zhao Qing and his team in sales, to recruit some skilled masons and carpenters to form a construction team. This would be the construction team under the real estate company in the future.

Yan Xiheng and his friends had seen the blueprints of the house designed by Ye Shuning before. Now that the house has been built, they have visited it and they all think it is very good.

Yan Xiheng looked at the structure of the house and smiled. "Xiao Ning, the house you designed is really good. I think we should let you design the house plans for our real estate company in the future."

Ye Shuning said, "I didn't have time to find someone to design it myself this time. I'll have to find a professional designer to design it in the future. Every profession has its own expertise. I plan to distribute these houses to some employees of several factories. If you want to attract and retain talent, you still have to invest some money."

Ma Guangzhong, who was visiting with us, said, "Mr. Ye, your idea is great. This house is so nice, who wouldn't want it? If you could live in such a nice house in the mainland, you would wake up laughing in your dreams."

Ye Shuning said, "Old Ma, you need to expand your staff and hire those with good skills. You should also have your staff learn more from professional construction workers. It would be even better if you can recruit professional construction workers. Our real estate company will be building commercial housing for sale in the future, and the quality must be fully guaranteed."

Ma Guangzhong immediately assured: "Mr. Ye, don't worry, I promise to form a qualified construction team."

Ye Shuning said, "The workers have done so much physical labor and have been so tired that everyone has been well fed. You must ensure this. Wages must not be delayed and must be paid when the time comes. Those who deserve rewards should be rewarded."

Ma Guangzhong felt that it was a pleasure to work for Mr. Ye. He never treated his workers unfairly, and the treatment was better than in other places, which made his job much easier.

Yan Xiheng and his friends toured the building still under construction and then headed back. Everyone was very busy and pressed for time.

After his wife left, Li Shaozhong returned to his normal routine of spending every day in the workshop. Because Liu Shuqing was in the technical department, he didn't even like to go there.

After having lunch in the cafeteria, Li Shaozhong went to the workshop.

Liu Shuqing spotted Li Shaozhong from a distance and quickly walked over to him, her face flushing slightly as she spoke nervously, "Deputy Director Li, did my visit to your house that day cause any misunderstandings with your lover?"

Li Shaozhong was disgusted to see Liu Shuqing approaching him again. He said impatiently, "Why did you come to my house when you knew it might cause misunderstandings? I'm a married man. Comrade Liu, please stay away from me in the future. I need to avoid suspicion."

Liu Shuqing's eyes reddened as she listened to Li Shaozhong's harsh words. "I'm sorry, Deputy Director Li, I didn't know you were married, so I didn't think too much about it."

Li Shaozhong said gravely, "Even though I'm not married, it's not appropriate for a lesbian like you to knock on a gay man's door. I hope you'll respect yourself in the future."

After saying this, Li Shaozhong left without caring about Liu Shuqing's reaction.

Liu Shuqing felt extremely embarrassed after being scolded by Li Shaozhong, and she ran away with tears in her eyes.

After meeting Liu Shuqing again, Li Shaozhong decided not to go to the technical department. He didn't want to give Liu Shuqing any illusions or opportunities. He also hated women like Liu Shuqing who were pretentious and self-righteous.

Sun Xudong, the head of the technical department, was a graduate of a prestigious university and had devoted himself to technology. He was a cousin of the factory director, Lu Haitao, and therefore knew something about Li Shaozhong's background.

Li Shaozhong is a skilled technician, and Sun Xudong really likes him coming to the technical department, as he often helps them solve problems. He even once solved a technical problem that had been bothering them for a long time.

If Li Shaozhong hadn't been the deputy factory director, Sun Xudong would have wanted to bring him over to the technical department. Because they often discussed issues, they quickly became familiar with each other and became like-minded friends.

Li Shaozhong used to come to the technical department frequently, but Sun Xudong felt a little uneasy when he suddenly stopped coming.

Seeing that Li Shaozhong still went to the workshop as usual and just didn't come to their technical department, he was quite puzzled. During lunch, Sun Xudong sat directly across from Li Shaozhong and asked, "Shaozhong, I heard that your wife came a few days ago? Has she gone back now?"

Li Shaozhong nodded. "She was very busy at work and had several children at home. She couldn't stay here for long, so she left after four days."

Sun Xudong said, "Then why don't you go to the technical department? I still have some questions I want to discuss with you."

Li Shaozhong said, "I won't go to your technical department anymore."

Sun Xudong was stunned when he heard this. "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with our technical department? Or did someone offend you?"

Li Shaozhong looked around and saw that there were no people around. He said, "I took a leave of absence when my wife came over a few days ago. Did you ask Liu Shuqing from your technical department to come to my house to look for me?"

Sun Xudong was stunned when he heard this. "No, I know you asked for leave and that you wanted to accompany your wife. Why would I send someone to look for you? What? Did Liu Shuqing go to your house to look for you?"

Li Shaozhong's face darkened when he heard Sun Xudong's words. Liu Shuqing had indeed lied and used Sun Xudong as an excuse to go to his house, almost causing his wife to misunderstand. Furthermore, Liu Shuqing's motives were definitely not pure. So, there was no need for him to save face for her.

Li Shaozhong immediately said, "Liu Shuqing used you as an excuse to go to my house, saying that you asked her to go. My wife was there at the time, and you can imagine what happened. She almost got the wrong idea. Fortunately, my wife isn't the type to make a fuss, so I explained and it was over.

"But Liu Shuqing's behavior is very offensive. What kind of girl would knock on a married man's door? Whatever her motive is, it's inappropriate. Furthermore, she skipped work to do personal things during working hours. Doesn't anyone at the factory care about this kind of behavior?"

Sun Xudong was also very angry when he heard this. "This Liu Shuqing is too unreasonable. I heard some people making fun of you and Liu Shuqing before, but that was when they didn't know you were married. But now everyone knows that you already have a wife, and some people are still making fun of you, and Liu Shuqing didn't explain. It's really a bit unreasonable.

I'll talk about them later. They don't do their jobs properly and always gossip like gossipmongers. Liu Shuqing got into the Haizhou Automobile Factory because of her family's connections, and she got into the technical department because it sounded good.

She was originally recommended to university through connections. Although she graduated, I've observed for a while that she hasn't learned much. I think she went to university just to get by, just to have the title of a university student. I'll find an opportunity to transfer her out; keeping her in the technical department will only cause trouble."
