Seeing Ma Yulian's eagerness to ask about the proof, Li Junsheng sneered inwardly.
The more anxious she gets, the more it proves that I can't let her succeed so easily!
"It depends on when it's convenient for people in the factory. I can only make more trips, ask around, and interact with people more."
Since it was just a matter of procrastination and perfunctory talk, Li Junsheng didn't take it seriously.
Ma Yulian, however, only felt that he was a coward. If he had any ability, why would it be so troublesome to just provide proof?
In the past, she would have already berated Li Junsheng to the point of being worthless.
But since she was still counting on him, Ma Yulian could only say nice things to him.
"...Alright then! Just say some nice things to him. It's not a big deal anyway. You've already taken the money from Old Chen, so you should get things done for him as quickly as possible."
Li Junsheng nodded, casually brushing off Ma Yulian, even wanting to scare her a little.
“You’re right. I drank too much yesterday, and I’m starting to regret selling the job to Old Chen. Should I return the money? If I don’t sell the job to them, the Nationalists will definitely be unhappy.”
Li Junsheng said this on purpose to see if Ma Yulian would get anxious.
Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, Ma Yulian said anxiously, "How can that be! What I mean is... you've already given Guohua two hundred yuan of it, so the money can't be returned."
Li Junsheng sneered inwardly. At this moment, she didn't mention asking him to find Guohua and get the money back.
Are you sure you don't want me to ask Guohua to get the money back?
"Are you sure Guohua's child isn't hospitalized with pneumonia? What makes you, as the grandfather, want to come back at this time?"
"Besides, he definitely doesn't have the money to give you in the short term. You can't go back on your word to Old Chen."
Li Junsheng gave an "oh" and then began to give orders to Ma Yulian without any politeness.
"Then go cook me a bowl of noodles. I'll go to the factory after I eat."
"Noodles?...Okay!"
Ma Yulian was getting impatient, but she was preoccupied with the job transfer, so she had no choice but to compromise with Li Junsheng for the time being.
After many years, Li Junsheng finally got to eat breakfast that was served to him.
Ma Yulian pretended to be gentle and specially put two eggs in his bowl.
Li Junsheng took the bowl of noodles and ate with gusto. After years of hard work, he deserved to eat something good.
Ma Yulian was counting on him to do things, so Li Junsheng wasn't afraid that she would poison him.
After finishing a large bowl of noodles, Li Junsheng was full and ready to leave.
In front of Ma Yulian, he pretended to go to the factory to get a certificate for transferring his job, and Ma Yulian happily saw him off at the door.
After leaving home, Li Junsheng went to buy some things: several packs of good cigarettes, a bottle of good wine, and two cans of fruit.
With these items in hand, Li Junsheng visited Section Chief Zhou's home at the factory.
He obtained start-up capital from Chen Dazhu and couldn't wait to embark on that bright path.
Now is the perfect time; if you're too late, someone else might snatch the opportunity first!
At Section Chief Zhou's house, he was dressed in a white shirt, trousers, and a tie, looking every bit the junior leader, and was getting ready to go to work at the factory.
Just then, someone banged on the door of the house.
Who is it so early in the morning?
Section Chief Zhou's wife put down what she was holding and went to open the door. When she saw the honest and unassuming Li Junsheng, she didn't show much enthusiasm.
"Hey, it's Old Li from the factory! What brings you here at this hour?"
"I need to see the section chief and talk to him about something. Did he go to the factory?"
Li Junsheng raised the things he was carrying higher so that his section chief's wife could see them.
The section chief's wife also quickly changed her attitude and warmly invited Li Junsheng in.
"Please have a seat at home. Old Zhou is on his way to the factory. You're a rare guest indeed!"
Li Junsheng smiled but didn't reply. He carried his things inside and then asked the section chief's wife.
"Where would be a convenient place for the section chief to put these things?"
At this moment, Section Chief Zhou walked over and said to Li Junsheng in a serious tone, "Old Li, what are you doing? We're decent people. If you're having any difficulties, just say so. Don't try this on me! Hurry up and take your things back."
"Section Chief, you've misunderstood. I've resigned from the factory. I came here to thank you for your care before I left."
It turns out that I didn't need his help, so it doesn't count as accepting a bribe.
Section Chief Zhou immediately feigned surprise and changed the subject with Li Junsheng.
"You're quitting like this? What happened? You should have worked a few more years and retired sooner. If you quit now, you won't get any retirement benefits. Have you thought it through?"
“I’ve thought it over. Should I come here specifically to thank you, Section Chief, or would it be better if you kept me in the job until I retire?” Li Junsheng added, “I’ve transferred my work to someone else. After doing it for so many years, I’m getting a little tired of it.”
Section Chief Zhou looked at Li Junsheng in surprise, not expecting him to be so eloquent this time, whereas he used to be quite tongue-tied.
He didn't understand Li Junsheng's two explanations either.
Did you quit because you were fed up with the job?
How could Li Junsheng be so willful?
I have no idea what they're up to.
"Hehe... Sit down and let's talk."
As the saying goes, one cannot hit a smiling face, so Section Chief Zhou asked Li Junsheng to sit down and talk.
Li Junsheng carried the things and found a place to put them down for Section Chief Zhou.
In fact, he was looking for what he wanted to see!
Through the window, Li Junsheng saw that under the iron shed in the backyard of the section chief's house, there was a pile of electrolytic copper scraps that was not much shorter than the top of the wall.
It was covered with a black cloth to simply conceal its true nature.
In reality, these are far inferior to those in the factory warehouse, but to produce so many must have taken considerable effort.
Li Junsheng feigned surprise and asked Section Chief Zhou what was going on.
