"Because this meeting is about the conflict between your family and Xu Damao, as a party involved, you cannot sit here."
Yi Zhonghai said in a serious tone, seemingly out of fairness and impartiality, but actually just to provoke Liu Haizhong.
Ever since he stopped being the manager, the tail in his bangs has been sticking up to the sky. He flaunts his managerial status from time to time, and sometimes he even says, openly or subtly, that he doesn't deserve to be a manager.
So when an opportunity arose to suppress Liu Haizhong, how could Yi Zhonghai let it pass?
Even if he didn't argue with Liu Haizhong, the two wouldn't have a good relationship, because Yi Zhonghai always wanted to regain his status as the steward, and Liu Haizhong was the biggest obstacle.
"OK!"
To avoid giving anyone cause for criticism, Liu Haizhong stood up abruptly and stood next to Liu Guangqi.
Yi Zhonghai nodded in satisfaction, and then sat down gracefully in the spot where Liu Haizhong was sitting.
Yi Zhonghai was very familiar with this seat; it was his designated chair when the entire hospital held meetings.
Upon seeing this, Liu Haizhong's eyelids twitched violently, and he couldn't help but clench his fist.
Compared to Xu Damao's interference in Liu Guangqi's blind date, Yi Zhonghai's actions made Liu Haizhong even angrier.
This is a provocation, a blatant provocation!
Yi Zhonghai, as expected, still harbored the ambition to restore the old man's authority. He had been trying to win people over for a long time, and would occasionally pop up to make his presence felt. Now, he didn't even bother to pretend anymore and actually sat in his rightful place.
But no matter how angry he was inside, Liu Haizhong couldn't show it at this moment.
"Alright, everyone, please be quiet for a moment. I'll talk about the things that need to be discussed at today's meeting."
Yi Zhonghai clapped his hands, and after everyone quieted down, he recounted how Xu Damao had seduced Liu Guangqi's blind date and was then beaten up by the three Liu brothers.
"What we need to discuss now is whether Liu Haizhong should compensate Xu Damao, and if so, how much is appropriate."
These words immediately caused an uproar among the residents who hadn't gone to watch the commotion.
"This is something Xu Damao is capable of doing. This kid deserved to be beaten up. Who told him to be dishonest and flirt with other people's blind date?"
"Exactly. Xu Damao is already married and has children, so why is he still so dishonest? I remember when Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu went on a blind date, Xu Damao was jumping around asking about Qin Huairu. I knew then that this guy wasn't a peaceful person."
"Once you have a wife and children, you should settle down and live a peaceful life. Hou Guifang is also a woman who knows how to live a good life. She not only keeps the house tidy, but also raises her child to be chubby and healthy."
"Hey, he deserves to be beaten up!"
Sha Zhu munched on sunflower seeds and said gloatingly.
The fact that so many people were saying Xu Damao was wrong made Sha Zhu quite happy.
Xu Damao is such a jerk, he's a jerk with both his mouth and his hands. A while ago, he was being so cheeky that he made him call Jia Zhangshi "mother".
"Silly Zhu, get out of my way!" Xu Damao cursed irritably.
Sha Zhu chuckled: "If you're not convinced, let's go over there and have a go. I haven't beaten you up in ages!"
Sha Zhu wasn't afraid of Xu Damao's threats. He had been able to beat Xu Damao to a pulp since he was a child, and now that he was older, he could easily beat Xu Damao up with one hand.
"Don't argue, let's stick to the facts," Yi Zhonghai said quickly, seeing the tension between Sha Zhu and Xu Damao escalating.
On the other side, Liu Haizhong was quite satisfied with the current situation. Public opinion in the courtyard was almost unanimously in favor of Xu Damao, who felt that Xu Damao deserved to be beaten.
However, a few residents expressed different opinions.
"It's not exactly honorable for Xu Damao to seduce Liu Guangqi's blind date, but it's also wrong for Liu Guangqi and his two brothers to beat up Xu Damao. Does everyone in our department resort to violence to solve problems these days?"
"It's wrong to seduce someone else's wife, but it's even more wrong to hit someone. I think both sides are at fault. Why don't we have Xu Damao apologize to Liu Guangqi and Liu Guangqi pay Xu Damao some medical expenses? That would even things out."
Upon hearing this, Liu Guangqi immediately objected: "We were fighting each other, and I was injured too. Why should I pay Xu Damao's medical expenses?"
"I now demand that Xu Damao apologize to me and then explain things clearly to my blind date!"
You want to eat shit?!
Xu Damao refused without even thinking. Apologizing was too humiliating, and once he apologized, it would confirm what he had done, so there was no way he could apologize, and no one could change his mind.
"If you don't explain things clearly to my blind date, then you'd better give me a blind date in return!" Liu Guangqi changed his tune.
Um?
Upon hearing this, Xu Damao snorted coldly: "I'm not a matchmaker, where am I going to find you a blind date? Oh, by the way, Sister Hua from our factory just got divorced, do you want me to introduce you? Hahahahahaha!"
After saying that, Xu Damao couldn't help but burst into laughter.
The "Sister Hua" he mentioned was a famous beauty in the steel rolling mill. Although she was a woman, she was very successful in the forging workshop and her physique was not inferior to Liu Haizhong's.
In addition, she had a bad temper and a fierce personality, and would resort to violence at the slightest disagreement. As a result, her husband was driven away after only two years of marriage.
"I want you to introduce me to that girl you went on a blind date with last time!" Liu Guangqi didn't know who Sister Hua was, but he knew that the short-haired girl who went on a blind date with Xu Damao at the courtyard last time was quite nice.
Not only is she beautiful, but she also dresses very stylishly.
In this era, fashionable girls usually came from wealthy families, and the one who went on a blind date with Xu Damao was even more extravagant, as her father was a director of a steel rolling mill.
If Liu Guangqi could go on a blind date with that girl, he would do anything to win her over, even if it meant being a simp.
By then, let alone becoming a worker in a steel rolling mill, I could become the leader my father had always dreamed of in no time.
"Pah! Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself in the mirror? Do you think you're good enough for my previous blind date?"
Xu Damao spat without thinking.
He never expected that Liu Guangqi would dare to covet Lou Xiao'e. It's like a toad trying to eat swan meat!
Thinking back to how she couldn't even win over Lou Xiao'e back then, how could she possibly introduce her to Liu Guangqi now?
In the unlikely event that Liu Guangqi might get lucky and be noticed by Lou Xiao'e, Xu Damao would be so angry that he would go home and hang himself.
"Whether you're good enough for someone or not isn't up to you. I'm just asking if you agree or not!" Liu Guangqi ignored Xu Damao's sarcasm.
Liu Haizhong's heart skipped a beat: "Xu Damao, if you introduce your previous blind date to Liu Guangqi, our family will agree to reimburse you for some medical expenses!"
"Not only will we give you money, but we'll also wipe the slate clean of your interference in Liu Guangqi's blind date. We won't bother you with this matter again!"
Others might not know Lou Xiao'e's identity, but Liu Haizhong knew it very well.
If he could marry Lou Xiao'e, his dream of becoming a leader in the steel rolling mill would no longer be just a dream!
