Yu Li asked her, "How did this story get to your ears?"
Yu Haitang said with a disdainful look: "What's wrong with that? Who in our factory doesn't know Qin Huairu's reputation? She's not a decent person. She likes to flirt and banter with men, but there's no real evidence."
And then there's Sha Zhu, over thirty years old, always slicked-back hair and obsessed with grooming, having affairs with many female employees. He also likes to hit people, even attacking his own apprentice with a kitchen knife. He's taken care of Qin Huairu for so many years; who would believe they weren't having an affair?
Yu Li laughed at the fat man, and Yu Haitang remembered that her brother-in-law was the person involved, which made her even more enthusiastic. No wonder he was a broadcaster; his tongue was sharp, he was incredibly talkative, his little mouth chattering away like a Gatling gun spitting blue flames…
The next day, after Lou Xiao'e and Xu Damao came out of their errands, Lou Xiao'e couldn't help but make a few sarcastic remarks to Xu Damao, which made Lou Xiao'e so angry that she pointed at Xu Damao and said, "Remember what I said, it's not that I can't have children!"
Xu Damao was completely stunned. What did she mean? Could the problem lie with him? Impossible, absolutely impossible!
※※※※※※
Today, as soon as Liu Haizhong arrived at work, he led his gang of henchmen to the cafeteria in a show of force.
The moment he walked in, he yelled at the fat man, "Take him down!"
As a result, half a cigarette's worth of time passed, and not a single person paid any attention to him.
This put Liu Haizhong in a very passive position. He turned around angrily and saw that Brother Yang and the other five were standing behind him with their arms crossed, all with expressions of watching a good show.
She was so angry that the flesh on her chin bulged out from her bangs: "You guys are just ignoring what I said?"
Brother Yang quickly shoved him aside, narrowly avoiding a fall!
He walked past him and greeted the fat man: "Brother-in-law, what do you think we should do with this old man?"
Brother-in-law?! Everyone, from Liu Haizhong to the others in the cafeteria, was speechless with surprise. How did the fat guy become Yang Weimin's brother-in-law?
The fat man scratched his head sheepishly: "His girlfriend, Yu Haitang, is my sister-in-law..."
Liu Haizhong was able to act arrogantly because of his henchmen, the main force of which was the Red Star Five Tigers.
Now that all five tigers have betrayed him, he's left all alone, and the fat man can lift him up with one hand while holding his chin.
His weight of 170 or 180 pounds seemed to disappear in his eyes.
Liu Haizhong frantically flailed his arms and kicked his legs, stammering incoherently. The fat man shoved his fist into Liu Haizhong's face and said, "Liu Haizhong, you think I'm being too nice to you? Even Sha Zhu dared to kick you in the groin, do you think I wouldn't dare?"
Outside the crowd, Sha Zhu rolled his eyes. He had kicked Liu Hai, and right in front of Director Li, so what!
Liu Haizhong was ultimately thrown out by the Five Tigers of Red Star, like trash. He fell heavily to the ground and couldn't get up for a long time.
Not a single person went to help him up.
He lay on the ground for almost half an hour before he shakily got up and went to the infirmary for a checkup.
Back in the office, he wanted to fire Xiao Yang and the other four, but it was easier said than done. Xiao Yang grabbed him by the collar: "Liu Haizhong, you want to die, don't you? Let me tell you, I know where your house is..."
Now, he's back to being that timid and submissive Second Uncle, who wouldn't dare utter a sound even when he's bruised and battered.
People like this, who would willingly frame others for their own benefit, are extremely rare!
Brother Yang and his gang have become the talk of the town in the factory today. They beat up the leader of the workers' disciplinary team during the day and then beat up the leader's son at night.
Not long after Liu Guangtian left Changmen, he was suddenly grabbed by a sack and then hit with sticks and wrenches.
They beat him until he couldn't even scream anymore before they stopped.
What's even more infuriating is that even though they know who hit him, they can't say it in the factory!
That evening, word spread throughout the courtyard that Liu Haizhong and Liu Guangtian, father and son, had both been beaten and were in the hospital. Serves them right! Finally, someone stood up for justice.
In the private room where the Red Star Factory entertained guests, Director Li slammed his fist on the table in anger: "Fatty!"
The fat man, head bowed, placed the spicy diced chicken in front of him: "Director, please calm down and eat. You don't know, Liu Haizhong has become reckless and arbitrary once he has a little power; besides, it wasn't me who threw him out..."
Director Li, of course, knew what was going on. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Forget it, it's good to teach him a lesson. By the way, I have something to tell you. How about we get Shen Xuemei to work in your cafeteria?"
Shen Xuemei was Li Huaide's new mistress. She kept complaining to him that the workshop was dirty and tiring, and that the workers were rude, so she wanted to move to another place.
The fat man readily agreed: "No problem, I can learn if I don't know how. But Director Li, may I also make a small request?"
Li Huaide was somewhat displeased: "You still dare to make demands?"
"No, no, it's my older sister, she's heavily pregnant and can't give birth right now, you see..."
Li Huaide suddenly realized that the fat man had an older sister who used to work in the heat treatment workshop, which was why he dared to use him with confidence.
Li Huaide asked him, "By the way, which workshop does your eldest sister work in now?"
"The boiler room!"
Don't get me wrong, the boiler room at Hongxing Factory isn't some public bathhouse boiler room. It manages the energy supply for a factory with thousands of employees—it's quite impressive!
Chen Rong not only doesn't need to shovel coal one shovel at a time, but she also doesn't have to do any dirty or tiring work at all.
Her daily work involves monitoring various instruments and recording the data.
This enviable job was, of course, secured through the fat man's behind-the-scenes maneuvering.
Li Huaide pondered for a moment: "Then let her go home first, and come back to work after she gives birth."
The fat man was waiting for him to say this: "Director Li, thank you so much! Please eat first, and I'll go and stir-fry some liver and kidney for you!"
Upon hearing the words "stir-fried liver and kidney", not only Li Huaide, but also Deputy Director He and Deputy Director Nie who were accompanying him couldn't help but feel their Adam's apples bobbing.
Now, Fatty's "stir-fried liver and waist" has become the signature dish of Red Star Factory.
Even the directors of the Commerce Bureau and the steel mill often came over for a treat.
Fatty's stir-fried liver and kidney dish looks incredibly appetizing.
As soon as they heard that he was going to cook this dish, Director Li came to the cafeteria with two deputy directors.
The key to cooking this dish is controlling the heat. Use high heat, stir-fry quickly, and it's done in seven or eight spoonfuls at most. The pan is practically on fire the entire time!
The high temperature brought out the fishy smell from the liver and kidneys, resulting in a dish that was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, making it irresistible.
Fatty always prepares some firewood himself whenever he makes this dish.
Once the oil is hot enough, the large ladle is flipped over, and the pre-marinated liver and kidneys are poured into the pot; as soon as they come into contact with the hot oil, a loud "sizzle" is heard!
