Passing through the moon gate in the backyard, and then walking a few quicker steps past the west wing of Xu Damao's house, you arrive at Wang Dabao's door.
As soon as he stepped onto the first step, Yi Zhonghai stopped, hesitating.
He came here to ask someone for a favor, and although he had decided to spend money again to avoid trouble, the money was not for Wang Dabao after all.
However, it was handed over to someone else through his hands.
Moreover, this would also strain Wang Dabao's and his comrades' relationships. Why should Wang Dabao help him every time if he comes empty-handed?
Furthermore, regarding his relationship with Wang Dabao, they had previous conflicts and disagreements, which even escalated to the point of physical altercations. However, Dabao was magnanimous and forgiving, unwilling to hold a grudge, and thus extended a helping hand to resolve his immediate crisis.
Thinking of this, Yi Zhonghai's face burned with embarrassment. He couldn't possibly go empty-handed to beg for help!
After removing his foot from the steps, Yi Zhonghai quickly turned and went home.
Three minutes later.
Arriving at Wang Dabao's door again, I took a deep breath and knocked.
At this moment, Wang Dabao had just returned from Xu Damao's house and was making tea by boiling water on the stove.
Upon opening the door and seeing Yi Zhonghai, Wang Dabao guessed somewhat of his purpose.
I just didn't expect Yi Zhonghai to be in such a hurry.
It seems that Lao Yi is quite concerned about his reputation, which makes things much easier.
However, he still had to pretend to be clueless.
Seeing Wang Dabao frown, Yi Zhonghai thought that today's events had put the other party in a difficult position. He was glad that he was reasonable and went home to get some tea on the way back.
His face immediately lit up with a smile, and he said, "Brother Da Bao, I've come over to talk to you."
"Oh, Lao Yi, come inside quickly, it's terribly cold outside."
Wang Dabao stepped aside to let Yi Zhonghai into the house.
He helped Yi Zhonghai sit on the sofa, poured him a cup of tea, and pushed it in front of him: "Hurry up and drink something hot to warm yourself up."
Yi Zhonghai chuckled and kept thanking him.
Judging from the situation when the door opened, Yi Zhonghai guessed that Wang Dabao was not in a good mood today, perhaps because of the matter of asking his comrade for help in the morning.
After sitting down, Wang Dabao didn't mention it at all, and even served him tea. How could this not touch him!
I couldn't help but sigh. Don't underestimate Da Bao just because he's young, only in his early twenties. He has such a broad perspective on life that I, at my age, can't even come close.
This thought came to mind.
Yi Zhonghai hurriedly rubbed his hands together and took out a small packet of tea from his pocket and handed it over, "Brother Dabao, this is a little bit of tea that I managed to save up. I know you like to drink tea, so I brought it over for you to try."
"Hey, Lao Yi, what are you doing? We live in the same courtyard, there's no need to be so polite."
Despite his words, Wang Dabao honestly accepted it.
He opened his nose and took a sniff, then reluctantly praised, "Well done, Lao Yi, this is indeed good tea."
"I wouldn't dare say it's good tea; it can't compare to yours."
When Yi Zhonghai visited Wang Dabao's house last time, he was served tea here. Although he knew nothing about tea, he could easily distinguish between smoking Zhonghua cigarettes and economy cigarettes.
Wang Dabao waved his hand: "I got that from my old commander when I came back from the army. It'll be almost gone in a few days. Old Yi, yours is just as good. It satisfies my craving."
Yi Zhonghai was well aware of the significant difference between the tea he brought and the tea from Wang Dabao's family.
Who wouldn't be genuinely happy after hearing Wang Dabao's words?!
Look how well Da Bao speaks and handles things!
At this moment, Yi Zhonghai really wanted to slap himself. He had been completely blinded by greed before, how could he have been so determined to get along with this kid?
No wonder Yan Bugui always sticks to him, calling him "Brother Dabao" so affectionately. He used to find it annoying, but he doesn't think so now.
The reason is simple: the more you look at him, the more adorable he becomes!
Liu Haizhong and Xu Damao are also very close to Wang Dabao. He didn't understand why before, but now he's starting to get it.
Isn't this the kind of charisma he's always dreamed of?!
In short, Yi Zhonghai finds Wang Dabao pleasing to the eye no matter what!
"Brother Da Bao, I came here specifically to thank you."
Yi Zhonghai picked up his teacup, took a small sip, and after a few words of reflection, got to the point. "At first, I didn't care about the rumors, but I didn't expect them to escalate to this extent. Moreover, the security department did find some faults with me. If you hadn't pleaded with your comrades in time, I might have lost my job."
Wang Dabao frowned and spoke.
"Is it that serious? No wonder Lao Feng complained to me about the difficulties. Oh, Lao Feng I'm talking about is my comrade-in-arms."
Yi Zhonghai nodded hurriedly, indicating that he understood.
Then, Wang Dabao spoke again: "But Lao Yi, you don't need to worry anymore. The factory has already cleared your name, which means the matter is over."
"Although my comrade complained, he still got things done for us. As long as we keep our jobs, everything else is trivial."
"You don't need to thank me. We're neighbors, we all live in the same courtyard. I'll definitely lend a hand if I can."
Wang Dabao pointed out the difficulties in getting things done, and then comforted Yi Zhonghai, telling him not to overthink it and not to thank him for it.
A few words from him almost brought tears to Yi Zhonghai's eyes.
Yi Zhonghai picked up his teacup and gave Wang Dabao a deep look. He thought to himself that if Wang Dabao were to sit in the position of the steward instead of Xu Damao, he would wholeheartedly agree.
Even voluntarily stepping down and yielding the position to a more capable person could not be ruled out.
Wang Dabao was so considerate that Yi Zhonghai didn't know how to proceed.
