"no problem!"
Liu Dehai patted his chest and guaranteed it.
"Next time something like this happens, be sure to think of our factory first!"
He moved closer to Su Jianguo.
"The price... is negotiable."
Su Jianguo nodded, thinking to himself that when the vegetables from his own greenhouses were harvested, they could supply some of the factories.
Liu Dehai personally escorted Su Jianguo downstairs.
Five Jiefang trucks were already parked there neatly, and the drivers were squatting beside the trucks smoking. When they saw them come out, they all stood up.
"This is Comrade Su Jianguo. You will follow him to pick up the goods."
Liu Dehai, with his pregnant belly, made the announcement.
"We'll follow his arrangements on the way!"
Su Jianguo jumped into the passenger seat of the lead car, nodded to the driver,
"Go to Sujiatun, take the mountain road to the north."
With engines roaring, the convoy slowly drove out of the steel mill gate.
at the same time..
In a two-story building in the family compound of the Metallurgical Bureau.
A heated argument was breaking out at that moment.
"Li Changhai! You shameless bastard!"
Zhang Shufen smashed a glass on the ground, shards flying everywhere.
"He's keeping a mistress right under my nose!"
Li Changhai stood in the center of the living room with a livid face, his tie loosely hanging around his neck.
"What's wrong with you! Who told you that?"
"Does anyone else need to say it?"
Zhang Shufen sneered.
"They've already come to me, and you still have the nerve to deny it!"
Li Changhai's face turned deathly pale instantly.
"Ken...someone must have framed me!"
He tried to defend himself.
"Framed?"
Zhang Shufen's face was full of anger.
"Li Changhai, I've put up with you for too long! Ever since you became deputy director, you've forgotten who you are! Keeping mistresses, accepting bribes—what haven't you done?"
Cold sweat beaded on Li Changhai's forehead.
"Shufen, calm down..."
"calm?"
Zhang Shufen couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Fine, I'm perfectly calm! Tomorrow I'll go to the disciplinary committee and expose all the good deeds you've done over the years!"
These words were like a bucket of cold water poured over Li Changhai's head.
He suddenly grabbed his wife's wrist.
"Are you crazy? If I go in, what will happen to you and the child?"
"What can we do? It's better than getting dragged into this and ending up in jail!"
Zhang Shufen broke free from his hand, but staggered a few steps because she used too much force.
Li Changhai took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
"Who told you?"
"What? You want revenge?"
Zhang Shufen said sarcastically.
"A man named Su Jianguo said that as long as you do as he asks, this news won't get out."
"Su Jianguo?"
Li Changhai frowned in thought.
"This name sounds familiar..."
"Nonsense, don't pretend you don't understand!"
Zhang Shufen said sternly.
"His son works under you, that deputy section chief named Su Mingde!"
Li Changhai suddenly realized what was happening, and his expression immediately turned even uglier.
"I see... Old Liu's live-in son-in-law..."
Zhang Shufen interrupted him impatiently.
"I don't care whose son-in-law Su Mingde is, you better get that kid out of here! Otherwise, if Su Jianguo exposes this, nobody will have a good time!"
Li Changhai stopped in his tracks, a troubled look on his face.
"Although Director Liu is currently sidelined, he still has connections, so it's not easy to offend him..."
"offend?"
Zhang Shufen's voice suddenly rose.
"Are you going to let Su Jianguo expose this? Then, not even Director Liu, not even the Emperor himself, could protect you!"
Li Changhai silently walked to the liquor cabinet, poured himself a glass of whiskey, and drank it all in one gulp.
The alcohol burned his throat, but it couldn't extinguish the fear in his heart.
He turned to face his wife.
What do you want me to do?
Zhang Shufen walked up to her husband and said, word by word.
"Starting tomorrow, I want to see Su Mingde unable to stay in the Metallurgical Bureau. As for your mistresses..."
She gave a cold laugh.
"I'm giving you three days to clean this up, otherwise..."
"I see."
Li Changhai interrupted his wife, a ruthless glint flashing in his eyes.
"Listen to Su Jianguo first, teach Su Mingde a lesson. As for those women..."
He paused.
"Give me a few days, and everything will be airtight. Even if Su Jianguo sues me then, I won't be afraid."
Zhang Shufen snorted coldly.
"That would be best."
She turned and walked towards the bedroom.
The next morning.
In front of the Metallurgical Bureau building.
Su Mingde stepped out of the black Volga sedan with a triumphant air, his brand-new leather shoes gleaming in the sunlight.
He straightened his tie, looked at his shiny hair in the car window, and nodded in satisfaction.
Good morning, Section Chief Su!
The gatekeeper, Old Zhang, greeted us warmly.
Su Mingde nodded slightly, not even glancing at him, and went straight to the old-fashioned elevator, closing the rusty iron gate.
In the elevator, several colleagues gave up their seats, and he stood in the center as usual, enjoying this superior treatment.
With a "ding," the elevator stopped on the fifth floor.
Su Mingde walked briskly toward the deputy director's office, intending to greet Li Changhai as usual.
He raised his hand and looked at his watch.
At 8:25, five minutes earlier than usual, Director Li will surely praise his dedication.
