Two days later, technicians began to arrive and report for duty. The factory also set up temporary housing for them.
The arrival of these technicians gradually brought some life to the otherwise empty conference room.
As the number of people increased, Sun Zhengguo decisively divided them into two shifts.
By personally teaching the courses and having Chen Lianshan lead a group of people to the workshop for practical experience, the drawbacks of insufficient space were reasonably avoided.
While everyone was studying diligently, Xu Damao and his family returned happily from the countryside.
Today, when he went to the countryside to propose marriage, although Secretary Wang was still a bit hesitant, he eventually agreed to the marriage after being persuaded by his wife and daughter.
The two parties agreed that the bride price would be 10 yuan, and the wedding would take place in 6 days. During this period, Xu Damao could come to get the marriage certificate at any time.
The family returned to Xu Fugui's place, and Xu Damao happily gave the matchmaker a 1-yuan red envelope.
The matchmaker didn't complain at all. After all, she was already a matchmaker, and she only had to run an errand. What more could she ask for?
After the matchmaker left, Xu Fugui, with a serious expression, solemnly gave his instructions.
"Da Mao, focus on getting things settled these next few days. It'd be best to get the marriage certificate done first. This is the last hurdle, so don't cause any more trouble."
Xu Damao listened to his father's words without any concern.
"Dad, don't worry, the engagement is already finalized, it's a sure thing, what's there to be afraid of!"
Seeing his son's nonchalant attitude, Xu Fugui was furious.
"What are you afraid of? Don't you know your own situation? Didn't you see Secretary Wang's attitude today? Before things are settled, keep your mouth shut."
"Okay, I'll go get the letter of introduction this afternoon. Tomorrow's the weekend, so I'll pick up the certificate the day after tomorrow. Is that alright?"
After Xu Damao finished speaking, to prevent his father from nagging any further, he pushed the car and prepared to go to the steel mill.
"Where are you going now?"
"Go get a letter of introduction."
Xu Damao didn't even turn his head, got into the car and left, which made Xu Fugui so angry that he cursed, "That unfilial son, I said a few words to him and he gave me a hard time."
Seeing this, Xu Lianxiang quickly stepped forward to persuade her, "That's enough, that's enough. The child is grown up and it's normal for him to have his own ideas. Just try not to get angry! Don't you know that getting angry is bad for your health?"
"you……."
Xu Fugui didn't say anything in the end, and silently pushed his bicycle, preparing to go to work at the movie theater.
Not long after Xu Damao left, he was planning to go to the steel rolling mill to get a letter of introduction, but unexpectedly ran into an old acquaintance.
It might be inappropriate to say "old acquaintance"; a more accurate description would be "old flame."
The woman's name is Wu Aihua. She has a 5-year-old son and is a widow whose husband died several years ago.
She met Xu Damao by chance, and they later became lovers.
"Hey! Da Mao, long time no see! Where are you headed?"
Upon seeing Wu Aihua, Xu Damao flashed his signature smile once again.
"Where else can we go? We can go back to the factory and get a letter of introduction."
What was said in jest was taken seriously by the listener. The key point of this sentence was the letter of introduction. Wu Aihua was also a shrewd woman, so she said it without revealing her true feelings.
"Da Mao, the kids aren't home today. Come sit at my place."
Damn it, those words struck a chord with Xu Damao. Although Wang Yujuan was beautiful, he hadn't yet made a move on her, and he was feeling incredibly lonely.
"Okay! Let's go sit down then."
Xu Damao agreed without even thinking about it.
The two then went to Wu Aihua's rented house. They did not go in together; Xu Damao chose to sneak in through the back door.
Once the two entered the house, there was no need for any foreplay; they immediately became lovers.
After two minutes of passion, Xu Damao lay motionless on the bed like a dead dog, while Wu Aihua helplessly pretended to enjoy it.
What can you do? Xu Damao is the big spender, so you have to have at least the most basic manners.
"Da Mao, you're going to the factory to get a letter of introduction. Are you planning to go on a long trip?"
Once the two had calmed down, Wu Aihua asked.
"No, I'm going to get my marriage certificate. What? Are you jealous?"
Xu Damao rubbed Wu Aihua's headlights and said in a cheeky tone.
The reason he dared to say it so openly was because the two of them had always maintained their relationship through material things or money, and Wu Aihua had always been quite obedient, which was why he was not on guard against her.
"I would get jealous, what a joke. But then again, aren't there rumors going around about you? Doesn't the woman mind?"
Wu Aihua asked, pretending to be indifferent.
Xu Damao smiled and said dismissively, "You believe all those rumors outside? Look how fierce I was just now. Believe it or not, I can do it again in an hour."
"I believe you! You, Mr. Xu, the projectionist, are incredibly vigorous, the best in the world, are you satisfied now! Hehehe!"
What man could resist such praise? And looking at Wu Aihua's breasts trembling with laughter, Xu Damao couldn't wait to mount her immediately.
Unfortunately, his strength didn't allow it, but that didn't stop him. So, he whispered a few words in Wu Aihua's ear.
“Really, whatever you ask, you’re not lying to me,” Wu Aihua asked in surprise.
Seeing Xu Damao nod, Wu Aihua said directly, "How about 10 yuan? I guarantee you'll be satisfied."
Although 10 yuan is a lot of money, Xu Damao was so excited at that moment that he could only nod and hold his nose.
What happened next was definitely not something that could be shown. Xu Damao only felt himself being enveloped in warmth, and then nothing more.
Wu Aihua was very skilled; in less than two minutes, Xu Damao surrendered.
The room fell silent for a long time after that. Once Xu Damao had recovered a little, Wu Aihua began to inquire about him, both openly and subtly, and easily got him to tell her everything.
Exhausted, Xu Damao was completely unprepared for this and was taken advantage of by Wu Aihua without realizing it.
Around 3 p.m., Xu Damao, who needed to go back to the factory to get a letter of introduction, left behind a large black 10-yuan note before drifting away.
After Xu Damao left, Wu Aihua didn't rest either; she began to plan an operation against Xu Damao.
It turned out that Wu Aihua knew everything about Xu Damao's affairs.
As a widow with a child to support, a man who could provide for her family was her first choice, and she would not let him go easily.
In the evening, just as the steel mill was closing time, Sha Zhu was walking slowly back to his courtyard house, carrying a net bag.
"Hey! Come here for a second."
Hearing someone shout, Sha Zhu looked in the direction of the sound and saw a woman hiding behind a tree, waving at him.
Sha Zhu looked around and realized that it was someone calling him, so he went over.
Seeing that the woman was quite pretty, Sha Zhu thought to himself, "Could it be that my luck with women has turned around? Could she have taken a liking to me?"
However, all of this was just Sha Zhu's imagination. He still cautiously asked, "You're looking for me? But we don't know each other!"
"Whether you know him or not is not important. I have some news for you. Xu Damao from your compound is getting married soon. His fiancée is the daughter of the Party Secretary of Xiaowangzhuang."
"What? Xu Damao is getting married? How come I didn't know?"
"This is absolutely true, and we're getting our marriage certificate the day after tomorrow. Remember, the bride is the daughter of Party Secretary Wang from Xiaowang Village."
After the woman finished speaking, she turned and left, leaving one person stunned, still trying to figure out if what she said was true or false.
And this woman was none other than Xu Damao's old flame—Wu Aihua.
What was her purpose in doing this?
It goes without saying that the intention was to sabotage Xu Damao's plans and then create a rip-off for himself.
