Liu Haizhong was furious.
But he couldn't make a move in front of so many people, otherwise his reputation as an old man would be ruined.
"Let me tell you, Sha Zhu, I'm not flattering you."
Liu Haizhong tried to break free from Xu Damao's grasp, but when he twisted his body, he found that Xu Damao had already let go of his hand, so he could only continue to glare at Sha Zhu.
“This is indeed Da Bao’s car, but did you see how hurriedly Da Bao parked it? You also know his position in the factory. Enemy agents are still rampant, and Da Bao has a heavy burden on his shoulders.”
Sha Zhu paused for a moment upon hearing this, vaguely sensing that something was amiss, but still stubbornly insisted.
"So what? What does it have to do with this motorcycle?"
Feeling that he was in the right, Liu Haizhong continued, "If your actions damaged his car and caused him to be delayed in carrying out his mission, can you bear that responsibility?"
Sha Zhu was speechless for a moment.
However, Yi Zhonghai blinked twice and said, "Old Liu, you're exaggerating. Zhu Zi just wanted to ride it and experience it. It's not as weird as you're making it out to be."
Seeing that Liu Haizhong was about to object, Yi Zhonghai quickly nudged Sha Zhu.
“Apologize to this old man! Look at the mess you’ve made. Old Liu was right. If the motorcycle really breaks down and delays Da Bao’s mission, you won’t be able to take responsibility.”
Hearing Yi Zhonghai say this, Liu Haizhong's expression finally softened a little.
But it's only a little bit.
He was still panting heavily.
Xu Damao, standing to the side, thought, "This won't do! They were arguing so well, and now Yi Zhonghai just shows up and everything's settled?!"
"Yi Zhonghai, stop trying to be a peacemaker and stirring up trouble. Everyone heard what Sha Zhu said to that old man. What a load of nonsense."
Xu Damao, his neck stiff, was practically spitting in Sha Zhu's face. "How can a junior like him curse like that? Especially during the New Year, how disheartening! In my opinion, it wouldn't be too much to make Sha Zhu kneel down and apologize to the old man."
"Xu Damao, you're talking nonsense! I even knelt down to apologize to him, and he almost pulled me down."
Sha Zhu broke free from Yi Zhonghai's hand and almost ran towards Xu Damao, but was stopped by Yi Zhonghai.
But Sha Zhu didn't stop talking: "I just wanted to sit up there for a bit, so what? You, Liu Haizhong, were in such a hurry to pull me down and even pinned such a big title on me. What are you up to?!"
"You spout a bunch of high-sounding words, but aren't you just trying to cover up your flattery? You act like nobody knows that."
Liu Haizhong had truly reached his limit. It was unbearable for a grown man like him to be openly accused of flattery.
“Silly Zhu, you wait. If I, Liu Haizhong, don’t kick a scum like you out of this compound, I’ll make you the old man.”
"That's great, you can make me one right now. It's just a mediator, why are you so arrogant? People who don't know better would think you're some big shot. You're just a stupid idiot who thinks a sesame seed is a watermelon."
That's why they say Sha Zhu has a sharp tongue; when it comes to roasting people, Sha Zhu never admits defeat.
Hearing that Liu Haizhong was going to kick Sha Zhu out of the compound, Xu Damao was overjoyed. He secretly sighed that he was one step ahead. No matter how lively Sha Zhu was now, he would definitely wilted later.
Liu Haizhong was almost out of breath. He knew Sha Zhu was a menace, but he never expected him to be so unreasonable.
Just then, Wang Dabao hurriedly came out of his house carrying some things. He frowned when he saw the crowd arguing around the motorcycle.
What are you all doing here?
The crowd immediately fell silent.
It wasn't that Wang Dabao's words were particularly authoritative, but rather that his appearance was rather eye-catching.
The black wool coat is clearly a high-end product; it's not the kind made in a tailor shop, but rather a ready-made one, and it must have cost a fortune.
Inside, he wore a gray sweater, a white Lenin-style shirt, and perfectly pressed straight-leg trousers with impeccably straight creases.
Her black leather shoes were shiny and polished, and the Plum Blossom watch on her wrist exuded sophistication.
His hair must have been styled, and with his handsome face and upright posture, he's simply the most stylish guy on the street!
"Da Bao, what's wrong with you?"
Liu Haizhong, now no longer out of breath, squinted and scrutinized Wang Dabao. "Is he going to meet foreign guests?!"
"It's not a foreign guest, it's just that I went to the leader's house to discuss a very important matter."
"I told you that Da Bao had something very important to do."
Liu Haizhong naturally took over the conversation.
Wang Dabao glanced at everyone and asked, "I heard you arguing as soon as I stepped outside. What's going on?"
Liu Haizhong quickly recounted what had happened. Wang Dabao looked at Sha Zhu and then at the others, and smiled helplessly.
"It's not a big deal. We're all neighbors. Why make such a fuss? A motorcycle is just a means of transportation. There's no need to be so particular about it. But this incident should serve as a reminder to everyone that we still need to be safety conscious."
"Old Liu is very vigilant, which is commendable. But Zhu Zi is not wrong either; the motorcycle can't be started without the key, so riding it won't cause any problems."
Then, Wang Dabao put the bag in his hand into his shoulder compartment. "Alright, everyone, you can all go now. I have important things to do."
"Yes, yes, don't delay Da Bao's business, everyone quickly make way."
Liu Haizhong quickly made way for the motorcycles.
Wang Dabao nodded to Liu Haizhong, got on his motorcycle and left, leaving a group of thoughtful neighbors standing on both sides of the road.
When Liu Haizhong saw Wang Dabao nod at him, he immediately realized that his actions had been approved by Section Chief Wang.
He quickly reverted to his old-fashioned demeanor.
"Everyone, disperse."
Liu Haizhong snorted coldly, glanced at Sha Zhu, and then walked into the courtyard with his hands behind his back.
Xu Damao was dumbfounded. That's it?!
However, Wang Dabao's outfit just now gave him a lot of inspiration. If he wore such an outfit to show movies in the countryside, wouldn't he charm all those country girls?
Wang Dabao checked the time; it was past the end of the workday. Even if Section Chief Hu walked, he should be home by now.
He then rode his motorcycle directly to the cadre family quarters.
