Director Wang wasn't angry when Ma Hua refused outright; instead, he smiled. He looked Ma Hua up and down and asked, "What's wrong? Can you tell me what happened?"
Ma Hua glared at Director Wang with annoyance: "Uncle Wang, what's wrong with you? I've been following you around for a long time."
"Hahaha, you little rascal," Director Wang understood the meaning behind Ma Hua's words.
After Director Wang finished laughing, he looked at Ma Hua with a serious expression: "Are you really sure?"
He had no choice; he really didn't want MCA to make a statement so early.
"Hmph, Uncle Wang, do I even have a choice!" Ma Hua glared at Director Wang, annoyed. "With our relationship, what choice do I have? What's the point of choosing? Besides, Li Huaide is the victor!"
If I don't choose him, am I supposed to choose Director Yang and then sweep the streets with him?
Moreover, Li Huaide was generous, unlike Factory Director Yang who only made empty promises.
If I really don't take sides and remain neutral, I'll be the one who ends up in trouble. Do you really think that Li Huaide's later dislike of Sha Zhu is because he thinks Sha Zhu is a good cook?
Bullshit! It's all about Sha Zhu's relationship with the big boss. Sha Zhu thought he was keeping a low profile, but actually, everything has been investigated thoroughly.
It's fair to say that the top leader is Sha Zhu's biggest backer, and besides, it's almost the end of the year, and Director Yang will be ousted in six months.
If I don't take sides now, it will be too late once Li Huaide comes to power.
Adding flowers to brocade is not as fragrant as sending charcoal in the snow.
"Okay, I understand." Director Wang nodded. Indeed, there was no other choice. Those two were fighting fiercely right now, so Ma Hua's choice was not bad.
"Okay, Director Wang, if there's nothing else, I'll be going now." Ma Hua said goodbye to Director Wang and left.
As soon as Ma Hua stepped into the cafeteria, he saw Liu Lan staring at him with an ambiguous expression. Ma Hua couldn't help but ask, "What are you looking at!"
"What are you looking at me for!" Liu Lan was furious. She had just been thinking about how to help Ma Hua, and she had even been thinking of him. How dare he talk to her like that? She was angry.
"Hehe, Sister Lan, I was wrong, I'm so sorry. I just blurted it out without thinking! Sister Lan, what's wrong? Just let me know, I'll definitely take care of it for you." Ma Hua said with a fawning expression.
When Ma Hua was an apprentice under Sha Zhu, he was fortunate to have Liu Lan take care of him. Otherwise, he would have been finished long ago with his small stature. Moreover, he also admired Liu Lan's straightforward and outspoken personality.
"You're such a jerk." Liu Lan, who was still angry, laughed and scolded after hearing Ma Hua apologize to her.
"By the way, what did Director Wang want to talk to you about?" Liu Lan looked at Ma Hua with curiosity. She had just seen Director Yang's secretary come to find Ma Hua, but Ma Hua ignored her. Then Director Wang called Ma Hua out.
You should ask quickly what happened.
"Hey, it's just what happened. The director told me that Director Yang is treating us to dinner tonight," Ma Hua said with a helpless expression.
Hearing Ma Hua say that, Liu Lan became even more curious. She decided to ask him carefully and tell Lao Li later: "Oh, we have to work overtime again tonight?"
"No, Sister Lan, do you really want to work overtime that much?" Ma Hua looked at Liu Lan with a strange expression. Goodness, do you love working overtime, or is it because you heard you can pack up leftovers?
"Go to hell. Who wants that? But," Liu Lan said meaningfully.
“I understand, I understand, I was rejected,” Ma Hua said, nodding with a smile. I understand everything.
"Ah, what?" Liu Lan exclaimed. This was arranged by the factory manager. How dare you?
Liu Lan looked at the Malaysian Chinese Association in disbelief.
"Sister Lan, I'm a cook at the steel rolling mill, not their personal chef!" Ma Hua said irritably. The overtime he had worked before was because Li Huaide treated him to a meal, and he couldn't refuse.
Now it's Factory Director Yang. Do you remember how he tried to suppress me before? Besides, Factory Director Yang is the backer of Sha Zhu and Yi Zhonghai.
They've been irreconcilable for a long time, so why be polite? Ma Hua suddenly realized why Sha Zhu had been so brazenly late and leaving early before.
Making the cook work overtime every day without paying him a penny, and not giving him any special privileges, who would do it?
I'm not stupid enough to be satisfied with some cheap food. You can't judge a book by its cover; I've already embarrassed Director Yang several times.
What if Director Yang trips me up and gets the security department to arrest me, accusing me of theft? Wouldn't that be like being taken advantage of and then helping someone else count the money for free?
"Awesome." Liu Lan secretly gave Ma Hua a thumbs up. Goodness, Ma Hua has quite a fiery temper. But since she liked it, Liu Lan also wanted to see Factory Director Yang get his comeuppance.
"Alright, stop being so cocky. Hey, I'll still have to rely on Sister Lan for protection from now on. Remember to put in a good word for me in the future," Ma Hua said to Liu Lan with a fawning expression.
"Get lost, you scoundrel!" Liu Lan laughed and cursed, but inside she was overjoyed. Now she could finally relax. With this commotion, Ma Hua and Factory Director Yang were definitely going to be at odds.
Ma Hua frowned, looking at Liu Lan with a helpless expression. He wanted to remain neutral, not wanting to help either side, but the situation was too cruel; not taking sides meant offending everyone.
If it were just me, I'd be fine, but I have a family to support, so I can only try to play it safe.
Just now, in front of so many people, Director Yang's secretary was clearly forcing me to choose sides. Otherwise, why would he have said that to me in the kitchen?
Why not just ask Director Wang to arrange things for you? All you want is to label me in front of so many people and get Li Huaide to talk bad about me! Tch, disgusting.
