Sha Zhu was overjoyed after being kissed and was about to take the next step when he suddenly heard footsteps at the door.
This startled him and Qin Huairu instantly.
Sha Zhu quickly pushed Qin Huairu away, pretending to tidy up his things.
The door creaked open.
It was Liu Lan who came in. Liu Lan didn't expect that Sha Zhu had just finished talking with her and then brought Qin Huairu in.
However, seeing their awkward expressions, he sneered, "Oh, what are you two doing here? What's going on that you're hiding in the warehouse, a man and a woman alone together?!"
Sha Zhu tried to remain calm and said, "Liu Lan, stop talking nonsense. I'm just talking to Sister Qin about some work."
"Hey, you were just calling me Sister Lan a moment ago, and now you're calling me by my name? You're really something, Sha Zhu."
Liu Lan snorted: "Work-related matters? Not only did you not mention the kitchen, but you also came to the small storeroom to talk about it. Who would believe that? Silly Zhu, I've told you what I need to say. Don't delay yourself, or there won't be any going back on your word."
Sha Zhu blushed: "Hey, Sister Lan, there's really nothing else. I've remembered what you told me. It's just about work. I'll just give Sister Qin a few words of advice. You go ahead and get busy, don't let it interfere with your work."
Liu Lan crossed her arms and said, "Fine, I'll take your word for it. But Qin Huairu, you better get back to work and stop with all this nonsense, or I won't hold back anymore."
After saying that, Liu Lan turned and left.
Qin Huairu turned pale with fright, and Sha Zhu secretly groaned, realizing that Liu Lan had ruined their good time.
At this point, neither of them was in the mood to think about doing anything unnecessary.
"Alright, Sister Qin, let's go back to work."
Sha Zhu sighed, thinking to himself that he was really unlucky. He was bothered by Aunt Yi at home, and Aunt Yi never came to see him again. To this day, he still doesn't know what Aunt Yi was doing.
When they got to the factory, Liu Lan saw them again. What bad luck!
He must have offended some deity; he's got a real problem with everything he does.
Qin Huairu also knew that things couldn't continue like this.
Sha Zhu's mind is always filled with these kinds of things. Who knows when he'll drag her to some corner again and try to take advantage of her.
You managed to escape detection once, and you got away with it twice. But what about the third time? Who will see you then, and will you be able to hide from them again?!
Even if you manage to dodge it, there will definitely be a fourth time.
Even if that idiot young man's reputation is ruined, it's still better than her being a widow. In the end, she'll be hated by everyone.
Anyway, Sha Zhu has already won Liu Lan over. Next time she runs into Liu Lan, she can say a few nice words to her, and even if Liu Lan tries to put her down, she won't talk back.
Qin Huairu had an idea in mind and said to Sha Zhu, "Zhu Zi, we can't do this anymore. If someone finds something to use against us again and it gets out, it won't be good for either of us."
"How about this? Sister Qin will introduce you to someone, my uncle's daughter. She's just as pretty as me, and very charming."
"Moreover, this child is filial. He originally came to the city to find a job, but my uncle broke his leg and he has been taking care of my uncle at home for half a year."
When Sha Zhu first heard Qin Huairu say that it shouldn't be done that way, he knew that Qin Huairu was right, but he was definitely unwilling in his heart.
But when he heard that Qin Huairu was going to introduce him to someone, he immediately felt relieved.
No matter how good Qin Huairu is, she can't compare to your own partner. Finding a partner is the most practical thing to do.
Sha Zhu was delighted and gestured with his hands, "What was your sister's name again? I think she came to your house a few years ago?"
"Yes, yes, I've been here before. I'd completely forgotten about it. I didn't even remember if you hadn't mentioned it. Her name is Qin Jingru, and she's very pretty." Qin Huairu felt relieved to see that Sha Zhu was happy about this, but for some reason, she also felt a little disappointed.
"Oh my, Sister Qin, from now on you're my real sister."
Sha Zhu rubbed his hands together, his heart bubbling with joy. "I've seen that girl before. She was quite pretty, but it's been a long time, so I can't remember her face very clearly."
Qin Huairu glanced at Sha Zhu. "You can't even remember what he looks like, but you still remember that he's pretty? You're really something."
"But Sister Qin, what's your sister doing now? Is she still at home taking care of your uncle?"
Sha Zhu no longer cared about urban residency. The second aunt of Zhu Bajie that Yi Zhonghai introduced last time did have urban residency, but what good was that? A beautiful wife was much more practical.
Qin Huairu nodded, "My uncle's leg hasn't fully recovered, but he can walk around on his own now. She's not getting any younger, and her family is worried about her marriage."
“Zhu Zi, if you think it’s okay, I’ll go back and talk to my family in the next couple of days, or I can write a letter back home.”
"No, Sister Qin, you should ask for leave tomorrow and go back home. I'll help you apply for the leave, and I'll make up the difference for you."
Sha Zhu was getting anxious. Although winter was almost over, his bed was still cold, and he wanted to cuddle with a warm girlfriend like Wang Dabao.
Qin Huairu nodded: "Then I'll go to Xingzhu tomorrow morning."
Sha Zhu didn't know what to do with his hands: "Sister Qin, then I'll have to trouble you. If it works out, I'll treat you and my sister to a big meal."
As they were talking, footsteps came from outside the warehouse again, and the two of them immediately fell silent, staring nervously at the door.
The door was pushed open again, and it was none other than Chef Li from the cafeteria who walked in.
When Master Li saw the two of them inside, but they didn't seem to be doing anything shady, he raised an eyebrow and said, "Oh, you two are here. I need to talk to Sha Zhu about something."
It's not that Master Li is overthinking things; it's just that Qin Huairu's reputation has been bad lately.
Sha Zhu clicked his tongue and said, "Master Li, what's up? We were just talking about introducing people to each other. Your brother here will be a girlfriend soon."
Master Li pulled Sha Zhu outside and whispered a few words to him.
Sha Zhu's expression changed slightly after hearing this, but he still nodded.
After Master Li left, Sha Zhu said to Qin Huairu with a helpless look, "Sister Qin, I have something urgent to attend to. I have to cook at my boss's house. There's nothing I can do about it. My boss eats my food. I'm counting on you to hurry up and find me a partner."
After saying that, he hurriedly left the warehouse.
Qin Huairu watched Sha Zhu's departing figure, her heart filled with mixed feelings, wondering if it was the right thing for her to introduce Sha Zhu to a potential partner.
As soon as Sha Zhu stepped out of the warehouse, he saw Director Li of the canteen standing not far away with a dark face.
"Hey, Sha Zhu, you're really busy, aren't you? You're still here whispering sweet nothings to Qin Huairu during work hours."
Upon hearing this, Sha Zhu panicked: "Director Li, don't talk nonsense. We're talking about introducing me to someone."
Director Li snorted: "I don't care what you're talking about, I'm telling you this first: if your petty squabbles damage the cafeteria's reputation, I won't let you off the hook."
After saying that, Director Li stormed off.
Sha Zhu was cursing and swearing behind him.
