Wang Qiang left Li Taohua's house and headed straight for Lou Xiao'e's house.
From afar, I could see Li Weidong standing diligently at the door. Not bad, this guy actually has some sense of responsibility.
"Wei Dong".
"Brother Wang Qiang."
Li Weidong was very happy to see that the person who came was Wang Qiang, as he had no one to talk to here.
"Have a drink and take a break."
Wang Qiang led Li Weidong to a secluded spot on the steps. He took out half a roast chicken and half a bottle of old wine.
Li Weidong's eyes lit up when he saw what Wang Qiang had taken out. In this era, let alone eating roast chicken, being able to eat one's fill was a blessing.
“I know, following Brother Wang is the right thing to do.”
Li Weidong smiled sheepishly.
"Eat!"
Wang Qiang pushed the roast chicken in front of Li Weidong. Li Weidong was also very tempted. He immediately grabbed it and started taking big bites.
Who came today?
“I sent Xu Damao from your steel mill with his men. I showed him your note, and after he read it, he immediately ran away with his tail between his legs.”
Li Weidong's mouth was full, so he spoke in a muffled manner.
"Alright, you've done well today."
"What is Brother Wang's background? Does he have such a powerful connection?"
Li Weidong stood there all day, very curious. Passersby kept glancing at him, and although they didn't dare to get close, they kept pointing and whispering, which only fueled his curiosity.
"You've forgotten the rules so quickly. Ask what you should ask, don't ask what you shouldn't ask, know what you should know, and don't know what you shouldn't know."
Li Weidong nodded.
"After you finish eating and drinking, get a blanket and there's a gatekeeper there. He'll keep watch tonight."
"Oh, you're still watching?"
Li Weidong was somewhat unhappy.
"What, you don't want to? If you don't want to do it, I'll find someone else to do it."
"No, no, no, I was just saying."
"Let me tell you, this involves a lot of serious matters. You'd better watch yourself. Alright, I'm leaving. You can eat slowly by yourself."
Wang Qiang checked everything and found that all the seals were intact before leaving.
"Yan Jiecheng?"
However, when passing by Beihai Park, I noticed that Yan Jiecheng was pushing a Yongheng brand bicycle, with two women standing next to him, one older and one younger.
The young woman had a slim waist and long legs. She was pretty. Upon seeing his face, Wang Qiang recognized her as Yu Li. It turned out they were on a blind date.
After the older woman said a few words, she left Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li alone. Wang Qiang saw them from a distance, their heads bowed, about three or four zhang apart.
"Why don't we stir things up?"
Wang Qiang rode his bicycle. With a few quick pedal strokes, he executed a stylish drift and came to a sudden stop in front of Yu Li, startling both Yu Li and Yan Jie.
"Brother Yan, going on a blind date? Hey, he's really handsome!"
The first sentence was a greeting to Yan Jiecheng, while the second sentence was directed at Yu Li.
"Who are you?"
Yu Li noticed that the other person was staring at her, riding a bicycle that was better than Yan Jiecheng's, and that he was taller and better looking than Yan Jiecheng. Therefore, Yu Li did not feel any aversion to Wang Qiang; on the contrary, she had a pretty good impression of him.
When Yan Jiecheng saw that it was Wang Qiang from the same courtyard, he frowned, knowing that this guy was not to be trifled with. Then he saw the way Yu Li looked at Wang Qiang, her eyes were practically drooling.
"Wang Qiang, what are you doing here?"
Yan Jiecheng looked at Wang Qiang with a long face and annoyance.
"Look at what you're saying. This Beihai Park isn't yours. You can come here, but I can't?"
Wang Qiang's words left Yan Jiecheng speechless and stammering. Yu Li also felt that Yan Jiecheng was impolite. Wang Qiang had kindly greeted him, but he had a sour face, as if he had encountered a creditor.
The goodwill she had developed from meeting Yan Jiecheng vanished. Instead, she saw Wang Qiang as honest and straightforward, and thought that following a man like him would ensure she wouldn't be bullied in the future.
Thinking about this, Yu Li couldn't help but blush. How could I think about a man I just met? Am I a bad woman?
Yan Jiecheng was even angrier when he saw Yu Li staring at Wang Qiang without blinking.
"Yu Li, let's take a walk along the lake!"
As he spoke, Yan Jiecheng deliberately rang the bicycle bell. Yu Li, who was still immersed in her fantasy, was pulled back to reality by Yan Jiecheng's bell.
"Are you afraid people won't know you own a bicycle?"
Yu Li's words made Yan Jiecheng blush deeply. He did mean to show off, but it was still quite embarrassing to have it said out loud.
"Hmph, you've ruined my good mood!"
"I……"
Yan Jiecheng was dumbfounded. He had thought that Yu Li's family was not well-off, and that she was marrying up, so he looked down on Yu Li from the bottom of his heart.
"Yu Li, what do you mean? You're on a blind date with me, but you can't even look at other men without being able to walk away. You're such a fickle woman!"
"You, you bastard!"
Yu Li burst into tears after being humiliated by Yan Jie in this way.
"Yan Jiecheng, you're so ungrateful! Such a beautiful girl, it's your good fortune that she's on a blind date with you, and you go and call her promiscuous! Your father is a teacher, how could he raise someone like you..."
Wang Qiang stood beside him, berating Yan Jiecheng.
"Wang Qiang, stop pretending to be a good guy. If it weren't for you, would any of this have happened?"
"Hey, Yan Jiecheng, you've got some nerve today, looking for a beating?"
Yu Li was crying, but seeing Wang Qiang stand up for her, she liked him even more and stopped him from hitting her.
"Brother Wang, please take me home. I don't want to go on this blind date anymore."
"Get in the car!"
Wang Qiang pulled Yu Li to the front, even though she was originally going to sit in the back. Yu Li didn't find Wang Qiang's intimate gesture inappropriate; on the contrary, she felt a sense of security.
"Hey!"
Yan Jiecheng knew he couldn't beat Wang Qiang, so he could only watch helplessly as Wang Qiang took Yu Li away, which made him so anxious that he stomped his feet.
"Wang Qiang, you just wait!"
Enraged and powerless, Yan Jiecheng shouted in Wang Qiang's direction and rode his bicycle back to the courtyard house.
When Yan Bugui saw his son Yan Jiecheng riding back on his bicycle, he quickly went up to ask him what was wrong.
How was your blind date today?
Yan Jiecheng parked his bicycle, went inside in a huff, picked up a jar of cold boiled water, and gulped it down. Yan Bugui, seeing his son's expression, knew that the blind date hadn't gone well.
"Having a bicycle isn't enough?"
Yan Bugui had to beg for a long time before he could borrow a bicycle from a colleague to help his son find a partner. But seeing his son like this...
"It's alright, we've already paid the money. The matchmaker said it was a guaranteed success. If this one doesn't work out, we'll have her find another one!"
"No way, I want her. I'll fight for her, even if it means sacrificing my dignity! I refuse to believe it!"
"What exactly happened?"
When Yan Jiecheng recounted what had happened, Yan Bugui's eyes turned red.
"Wang Qiang!"
