the next day.
The Lou family.
Xu Damao led his men to the Lou family's gate. Before they even entered, they could see a large seal on the door from afar.
According to the original plot, it should have been that Second Uncle led people to ransack Lou Xiao'e's house.
However, due to Wang Qiang's appearance, the second uncle was bedridden at the time, and Xu Damao was punished. In order to take over, Xu Damao personally led the team this time.
As they approached the door, they were stopped by Li Weidong, who was fully armed.
What are you people doing?
When Xu Damao saw Li Weidong, who was neatly dressed and had a serious expression, he dared not act rashly.
"Report, this is a big capitalist, we are ordered to settle accounts with him."
Li Weidong pointed to the seal: "Look at this seal. By the time you arrive, it will be too late. Let me tell you, we have already sealed this place off."
Li Weidong responded arrogantly, now walking with his head held high and looking down at people.
"May I ask what organization you belong to?"
Xu Damao realized he hadn't gotten anything. If he went home empty-handed, he wouldn't be able to explain it to Deputy Director Li.
"Are you in charge?"
Li Weidong thought Xu Damao seemed to be the leader of this group.
"Ah, we are from the Revolutionary Committee of the Steel Rolling Mill. I am Xu Damao, and I am in charge of this operation."
"Xu Damao? Okay, take a look at this, but before you do, I have to make it clear that you can't tell anyone, or you'll have to bear the consequences."
Li Weidong took out the documents Wang Qiang had given him and handed them to Xu Damao.
When Xu Damao saw that it was an official document with the word "confidential" on it, and read the contents, he broke out in a cold sweat, realizing he had almost offended a powerful figure!
After reading it, Xu Damao respectfully handed the document back to Li Weidong.
"Sorry to bother you!"
"Walk!"
Xu Damao turned around and shouted to the people who had followed him. Those people had come out hoping to get something for nothing, but now they not only failed to get anything, but also wasted their time wearing out their shoes.
"Xu Damao, what's going on? What exactly is written on it?"
Some people were shouting and refused to leave.
"Don't cause trouble, let's go, back to the factory!"
Xu Damao didn't dare to tell Li Weidong what he had just seen, because Li Weidong was glaring at him intently, and if he revealed it, he would be finished.
Seeing Xu Damao like this, the others immediately backed down. They knew that Xu Damao was someone who only knew how to take advantage of others, and that there was probably something wrong with him now.
So they all followed Xu Damao back to the steel rolling mill.
Seeing Xu Damao and the others in such a sorry state, Li Weidong was very pleased. He felt that his job was indeed prestigious, and he would have to thank Brother Wang Qiang properly later.
He looked back at the gate, which was sealed off, and curiously peered inside.
But remembering Brother Wang Qiang's instructions, there were other sentries besides himself, and if he were discovered spying, he would lose his job.
Therefore, Li Weidong suppressed his curiosity and dared not look inside. He could only look at the street, wondering who the hidden sentry was. He thought everyone on the street looked like it.
Especially since there was a department store across the street, and the shop assistants inside kept glancing in his direction, Li Weidong became more and more certain.
As he pondered these thoughts, he also thought about home, about when he left home that morning.
Li Taohua, the younger sister, heard that Wang Qiang had found her a good job, earning more than 100 yuan a month.
She also wanted to change jobs with Wang Qiang. She didn't want to work in the restaurant anymore. Even if she went to the steel rolling mill, she could earn at least thirty yuan a month.
Li Taohua was really something. That day, she first went to the restaurant to ask for leave, then prepared some food and even changed into a new outfit.
When Wang Qiang left last night, Li Taohua told him to come to her house for lunch as a thank-you dinner.
The food was all laid out, and Li Taohua looked towards the door, eagerly awaiting Wang Qiang's arrival.
As for Wang Qiang, after making arrangements last night, he returned to the courtyard house. The continuous exercise over the past two days had indeed taken a toll, and he slept soundly until dawn.
In the morning, while I was still half asleep, I heard someone knocking on the door.
"Brother Wang, are you awake?"
It turned out to be Qin Jingru. Ever since Wang Qiang left, she was feeling quite pleased with herself for getting thirty yuan. Of course, she didn't tell Qin Huairu about Wang Qiang giving her money.
But she had always hoped to be with Wang Qiang, but after that night, Wang Qiang seemed to disappear, and several people she asked didn't know anything about him.
It was raining heavily yesterday, and Wang Qiang still hadn't returned. Qin Jingru couldn't help but ask Qin Huairu.
"Sister, it's raining so hard, and Brother Wang Qiang still hasn't come back."
"You care about him so much? Why don't you just move in together? He's a purchasing agent at the factory, and he's often away for ten days or half a month. If you move in, you'll be in the same boat as me."
Qin Huairu went to Wang Qiang to borrow money that day, but was rebuffed. She went to her second uncle's house to ask for money, but didn't get any either. In the end, she managed to swindle ten yuan from Sha Zhu.
Therefore, she harbored some resentment towards Wang Qiang, and also harbored dissatisfaction towards Qin Jingru. Thus, her words were loaded with meaning, telling Qin Jingru not to think that being with Wang Qiang was so great, because if she stayed, she would only be living a life of widowhood.
"Sister, what do you mean by that? How can you talk about Brother Wang like that? It's unacceptable for people to speak ill of him!"
Qin Jingru wasn't stupid; she was very dissatisfied with what her sister Qin Huairu said.
"I'll move there if I want, I'm not afraid, he'll come back anyway!"
The two had a fight and parted on bad terms.
This morning, Qin Jingru got up and saw Wang Qiang's bicycle parked in the yard. Knowing that Wang Qiang had returned, she quickly ran over and knocked on the door.
Wang Qiang recognized Qin Jingru's voice and, after a nap, his mental state recovered.
Qin Jingru knocked on the door a few more times, waiting for Wang Qiang's response.
"Brother Wang!"
Wang Qiang opened the door, and Qin Jingru hugged him without hesitation.
I missed you so much!
"Come down and let people see what kind of person you are."
Wang Qiang pushed Qin Jingru away; he wasn't a casual man. Qin Jingru stared at Wang Qiang in astonishment—how could there be such a gentleman!
Wang Qiang noticed that although Qin Jingru had her head down, her eyes kept glancing at him.
He said to her, "You've come at the perfect time! I was just looking for you!"
He invited Qin Jingru into the house and had her sit at the table.
"Brother Wang!"
Qin Jingru looked up at Wang Qiang. Wang Qiang handed her a book.
"What's wrong? You can't not study. How can you improve if you don't study? How can you enhance your professional skills?"
Wang Qiang's few words made Qin Jingru close her eyes and dare not look at him.
"Open your eyes! How can you learn if you don't look? Be brave in learning and good at learning!"
Qin Jingru slowly opened her eyes and looked at Wang Qiang.
"That's right! As the saying goes, study hard and make progress every day!"
Wang Qiang then handed another book to Qin Jingru.
"Take these two books and study them carefully."
Qin Jingru held the book, somewhat bewildered. Although she knew a few words, this...
