Li Man grabbed Wang Qiang's arm and said, "Brother Wang Qiang, come to my house for dinner this afternoon. My mom has been talking about you for ages!"
Wang Qiang remembered that he hadn't seen Chen Jing since their last dual cultivation session.
How is your mother's health now?
Li Man knew what Wang Xiang meant, but she still spoke.
“My mom is in excellent health now, she seems even younger than when she came here.”
Wang Qiang was pleased to hear this; it seemed Chen Jing was recovering well.
After calculating that he still had some time, he said to Li Man, "Okay, I'll come to your house for dinner tonight!"
Then he added, "Oh, right, I have a can of food and some mutton on my bicycle. Take them home with you later."
Li Man nodded.
Wang Qiang turned around, found a secluded spot, took out two cans of pork from his spatial storage, and also took out ten catties of mutton.
They then returned to the finance department.
"Sister Chen, Li Man, let's have this for dinner! It's just that there are no green vegetables!"
He then placed the items on Li Man's table.
Sister Chen smiled: "We still have some at home, radishes and cabbage. I'll go buy some flour later!"
Wang Qiang nodded and said with a smile, "Okay, then, Sister Chen, you can go ahead when you get off work. I can find a place by myself."
After chatting for a few minutes, Wang Qiang came out of the finance department.
When I returned to the purchasing department, I ran into a woman.
"Wang Qiang!"
The woman called out as soon as she saw Wang Qiang.
Wang Qiang stopped his bicycle and looked around; it turned out to be Liu Lan.
Since Li Huaide went mad, Liu Lan has lost her support and her life at the factory has become difficult.
Wang Qiang remembered that Xu Damao had suggested to Li Huaide that Lou Xiao'e's belongings might be hidden in the home of one of their servants. It was Liu Lan who had been eavesdropping outside.
Wang Qiang happened to bump into her and then told him.
"Liu Lan, it's been so long since I've seen you!"
Liu Lan sighed, her face full of dejection: "Don't even mention it. Li Huaide has fallen, and I'm having a hard time at the factory now. Anyone can bully me."
"It's alright, it'll be fine in a few days, everyone's like that!"
Wang Qiang comforted him.
Liu Lan nodded: "I hope so. By the way, Wang Qiang, I heard that a high-ranking leader is coming, is that true?"
Wang Qiang laughed: "You're quite well-informed. It's almost Chinese New Year, and this is the last inspection. The new Director Fan has put me in charge of purchasing ingredients!"
Liu Lan looked around, took Wang Qiang's arm, and led him to a corner of a building where no one was.
Sister Liu, what are you doing?
Wang Qiang looked at Liu Lan with a puzzled expression.
Liu Lan realized she was holding Wang Qiang's arm and quickly let go: "I just wanted to ask, is the factory planning to have someone serve drinks at the banquet?"
"Look, when a big leader comes, all the factory leaders are definitely there too. There has to be someone by his side to serve tea, water, wine, and food, right?"
Wang Qiang understood that Liu Lan wanted to take this opportunity to turn her fortunes around and find another powerful backer.
"I really don't know how Director Fan arranged it, but I can mention it to him. I think he will agree."
Liu Lan was a little excited: "Really? That's great! Brother Wang Qiang, thank you so much! Please put in a good word for me with Director Fan!"
Wang Qiang smiled and said, "Okay, Sister Liu, no problem, it's just a matter of a word."
Liu Lan thought to herself that Wang Qiang shouldn't say nice things to her for nothing, so she said to him, "Brother Wang Qiang, how about this, I'll treat you to dinner this afternoon?"
Wang Qiang shook his head. Today was definitely not an option. He had just promised Sister Chen and Li Man, and now Liu Lan was coming too.
"What's wrong, brother? Is there something you're worried about?"
Liu Lan looked at Wang Qiang shaking his head, somewhat puzzled.
Wang Qiang laughed easily and said, "I just made plans to go out this afternoon, so I didn't have a chance to ask you to treat me to dinner!"
Liu Lan thought for a moment, then said to Wang Qiang, "How about this, I'll treat you to a late-night snack. We can't exactly go out for a late-night snack too!"
Wang Qiang scratched his head: "No, but Sister Liu, it's just one sentence, it's not like you have to treat me to a meal!"
Liu Lan replied, "Inviting you to dinner isn't the point; the point is to thank you."
"I don't even want to work in the cafeteria anymore. I hope I can get a transfer this time!"
Wang Qiang could sense that since Li Huaide left, those connected to him were all having a hard time.
"Alright, you decide the time!"
Wang Qiang replied that it was just a matter of a word, and if she wanted to invite him, she could. People are like that nowadays; if they ask someone for a favor, they won't feel at ease unless they give them something in return, like a meal.
It's as if the other party won't do their best to help them.
Seeing that Wang Qiang had agreed, Liu Lan left him the address and then left satisfied.
Wang Qiang then went to Fan Debiao's office and explained the situation.
"Director Fan, you see, it's really necessary to have someone to serve us on such a grand occasion."
"Moreover, Liu Lan had served him before."
Upon hearing this, Fan Debiao straightened up: "Really? She hasn't made a mistake?"
Wang Qiang nodded.
Fan Debiao thought for a moment: "Then it's settled. Go and inform her that she should attend on time, perform well, and definitely show the spirit of our steel rolling mill."
Wang Qiang said, "Director Fan, don't worry, there won't be any problems!"
Wang Qiang then explained the preparation of the ingredients. Fan Debiao nodded in satisfaction. He knew that Wang Qiang was leaving soon, and he was very touched that Wang Qiang was still working so diligently.
"Okay, prepare everything as you said."
Wang Qiang left Fan Debiao's office and returned to the purchasing department.
I chatted with Yu Xiaobao, Guo Jinshui, and Shi Dakuai for a while.
With the workday almost over, I left the factory and rode my bicycle towards Sister Chen's house.
On the way, we also packed two meat dishes from a restaurant: shredded pork with garlic sauce and twice-cooked pork.
When we arrived at Sister Chen's house, the dishes were already being prepared.
"Sister Chen, I packed two dishes, could you heat them up for me?"
When Chen Jing came out, her eyes were a little red when she saw Wang Qiang. After the last time, Wang Qiang had not appeared for a long time, and she thought he was a scumbag.
Are you feeling better?
Seeing that Chen Jing's complexion was rosy and her eyes were bright, Wang Qiang knew that there should be no problem with her health.
"Hmm, it's been so long, you've probably forgotten me, haven't you?"
Chen Jing's tone was full of resentment.
"No way, I've just been a bit busy lately. I'm sure Li Man told you about what happened last time!"
After Wang Qiang finished speaking, he handed the things to Li Man. Then he went into the house with Chen Jing.
"Yeah, that scared me to death. Thank goodness you were here, otherwise I don't know what would have happened."
As Chen Jing spoke, she poured Wang Qiang a glass of water.
He then sat down opposite Wang Qiang.
"This matter was resolved thankfully, but we've had a new manager at the factory, so things have been a bit hectic!"
Chen Jing nodded, indicating her understanding...
