He quickly screwed the lid on and threw it far away.

Luo Guoqing's hands were tied behind his back, but his upper body was leaning against the wall, smiling nonchalantly, "Yeah, your factory has nothing to do with me?

Besides, many of the workers are from my village and have had a lot of grudges against me in the past. I wish they would all lose their jobs and return to the village to farm and continue their hard life."

As the first person to leave the village, he was naturally sought after by everyone.

There were countless people who asked him to do things and humbly addressed him. He enjoyed his time in the village every New Year and wished he could stay there for a few more days. Others even praised him for being nostalgic.

But once the paper mill opened, half of the villagers became workers, and even the two women next door who scolded him the most could earn their own money.

Seeing that these people's attitude towards him was becoming increasingly cold, he felt like a rat was gnawing at him and felt very uncomfortable.

How could that be? They should spend their whole lives tumbling around in the dirt, forever fawning and begging at his feet.

That's why he approached Liu Xun, a greedy man by nature, thinking about whether he could use him to destroy this damn factory.

Who would have thought that when the time came, this person would still be talking to him about the bottom line. It was a joke.

During the famine, when the villagers ganged up on him to steal the food he had given to his brother and sister-in-law and starved them to death, no one came to talk to him about the bottom line.

His conscience had been completely worn away when he was kicked out of his home at the age of sixteen.

Luo Guoqing glanced at him sideways. Even though he was tied up, he didn't seem too worried. He bewitched him, "Now, you have no choice but to help me. Whether you become an arsonist or a fire-fighting hero depends entirely on your decision."

His tone was firm, as if he had anticipated his choice.

Unexpectedly, Liu Xun snorted coldly and turned on the lights in the warehouse. "When you were lying to others, didn't you think you would be deceived? Open your dog eyes and take a closer look. What exactly did you burn just now?"

Luo Guoqing's eyes widened, and he kept shaking his head and muttering, "How is it possible? No way..."

It turned out that what he had just set on fire were just a few stacks of defective products on the surface. After they burned to ashes, the things underneath were revealed.

It was a pile of branches and wet bricks piled underneath. No wonder it was burning with thick smoke and crackling sounds just now.

It was just that he was so focused on confronting Liu Xun that he didn't notice it.

"I checked before I came here, and the surrounding warehouses were already full. You can't transfer the goods to other places."

"This is all thanks to your great idea. I signed the order with Comrade He, and she had all the inventory taken away at noon today."

Luo Guoqing's eyes widened. "Impossible! I've already contacted the transport team. Xie Peng offended their boss back then, and He Ruixue was brought up by him. These people will definitely not help her."

"That's narrow-minded. Is your company's transport team the only one in the world with trucks? Can't she borrow one from somewhere else?"

Liu Xun opened the door, and found that the outside was already surrounded by people from the security department.

One of them was holding the kettle he had just thrown out, which was real evidence.

Liu Xun knew how to kill people and destroy their hearts. After Luo Guoqing was arrested, he lowered his head and whispered in his ear, "Without your 'brilliant plan', I would not have agreed to cooperate with Comrade He. This time she has secured an additional supply, and I believe she will be promoted to the next level by the end of the year.

As for you, you maliciously destroyed state property, a heinous crime. You should go to the Northwest for reform."

All his plans failed and he was about to face imprisonment. Luo Guoqing could not bear the blow. He went crazy with bloodshot eyes and struggled to bite him, wishing he could cut him into pieces.

Liu Xun gave him a disdainful smile and waved goodbye.

Seeing people being taken away, he turned around and joined the fire-fighting team.

At this time, the warehouse manager who had just been transferred came with his men. Each of them was holding a basin of water and pouring it thoroughly to ensure that no sparks would be left.

…

"Brother Liu, thanks to you again this time, here."

Liu Erchang couldn't persuade her, so he reluctantly took the two packs of cigarettes and a bottle of wine she handed over.

He said honestly, "This is too expensive. Daqianmen, one piece costs more than ten yuan, and this Moutai liquor is nine yuan a bottle. It's a special supply. I heard that you can't buy it even if you have money... If you really want to thank me, just give me a few yuan. Look at you, I feel embarrassed to accept it."

"I came to you at the last minute, in the middle of the day, so you missed your nap, and you came to help me transport the goods without saying anything. If you don't show some appreciation, how can I have the nerve to ask you for help next time?"

"Okay, I'll shamelessly accept it this time. If you need my help with shipping in the future, just let me know. Next time, I won't accept anything from you, no matter what."

It was actually against discipline for him to drive the car out of the steel plant, but no one said anything as long as he paid for the gas afterwards.

He originally planned to pay for it himself, but he didn't expect He Ruixue to be so polite.

Liu Erchang was thinking that he would go back and break some cigarettes to distribute around the factory. Even if he was busy working outside in the future, He Ruixue would be able to find other people to help her for the sake of the cigarettes and would not delay her work.

"You don't need to be polite when taking things from your own sister. Brother Liu, we are both free today, why don't we go to a restaurant for a meal?"

"Okay, I have to treat you this time. We've already agreed on this. Don't argue with me when we're paying."

"Of course, I've already said it, I won't be polite with you."

The two ordered two generous meat dishes at a nearby state-owned restaurant and left only after their bellies were full.

…

When He Ruixue returned home, Zhao Meiya appeared silently in the yard like a fixed NPC, greeted her at the door, and helped her push the bicycle into the room.

At first, He Ruixue didn't understand how she could always calculate the time so accurately.

Later, I heard from my eldest brother that I realized that the old lady's calculations were not accurate at all. She was obviously thinking about her. When she saw that the time on the wall clock was close to her getting off work, she kept looking out the door.

He refused to sit in the house and wait, saying that he wanted to see her at first sight.

She recalled several times in the past when she had gone to do other things after get off work and was delayed for a long time before coming back. She didn't know how long Zhao Meiya had been waiting for her and how worried she was.

He Ruixue was overwhelmed by guilt and secretly promised herself that if she had any urgent matters in the future, she would ask someone to tell her family first.

"Dongbao, Xiao Jiang brought your dog back. It's gotten a lot fatter and almost knocked me over. I couldn't stop it."

As soon as she finished speaking, Chenchen and Brother Wolf rushed out, climbed on her legs to please her, and almost made her stumble.

At first glance, it is true that the muscles on their limbs have become thicker and their claws have become much thicker. It seems that they have eaten a lot of meat in the past few days.

But she would dote on her own cubs, "Mom, they're not fat, they're strong."

"I'm really fat, don't you believe me? I ate a lot at noon today, as much as four people, and I pooped a lot too. I buried it in the vegetable garden.

You should have only kept one. If you keep eating like this, no family can afford it."
