Wang Dabao observed Yi Zhonghai's expression and wondered if he had been too lenient with the old man. Was he going to be upset if he didn't give him a good talking-to?
Yi Zhonghai forced a smile, "Brother Da Bao is right. Actually, I also made two of those mistakes. I'll have to be more careful in the future."
He might have held a grudge against Wang Dabao in the past, but he would never dare to now.
Putting aside Wang Dabao's position as section chief, he wouldn't dare offend him anyway. He had long seen through the kid's shrewdness and knew he couldn't outmaneuver him.
Moreover, Liu Haizhong, Yan Bugui, and Xu Damao had already been won over by him.
Now, all Yi Zhonghai needs to do is curry favor with Wang Dabao, join Wang Dabao's camp, and then surpass Liu Jiazhong and Yan Bugui. As for Xu Damao, there's no need to mention him; Yi Zhonghai has never taken him seriously.
However, he will definitely avenge the loss of the vegetable cellar!
When he finally rises to power, it will be the day Xu Damao suffers!
Mentioning Xu Damao, Yi Zhonghai felt a surge of hatred and couldn't help but ask, "Brother Dabao, do you think Xu Damao is suitable for the position of the Third Uncle in charge? With his unreliable attitude, won't he damage the image of our institute?"
"Hey, Lao Yi, you're wrong to think like that. Da Mao was the one who started the movie screenings. Didn't you see how popular our theater was back then?"
"Besides, he's still young. How can he compare to you older folks? Young people need to be tempered in positions like this, otherwise how will they be able to shoulder greater responsibilities in the future!"
"As for what you said about it damaging your image, Lao Yi, you're probably overthinking it."
Wang Dabao picked up his teacup and took a sip, gesturing for Yi Zhonghai to drink as well. "Old Yi, don't take offense at my bluntness, but as far as I know, you're the one who's damaging the compound's image right now!"
"As I said before, it doesn't matter to everyone who's in charge. The main thing is that this person shouldn't think they're something special just because they're a mediator. Constantly causing trouble, who can stand that? Did we elect you to be the one to torment us?!"
"Old Yi, don't you think that makes sense?"
Yi Zhonghai's hand holding the teacup was trembling, and his old face was flushed red. It was too dirty, and Wang Dabao's cursing was too vulgar.
There wasn't a single swear word in all those words, but Yi Zhonghai clearly knew he was being insulted.
"Old Yi, don't even think about it, old man. Isn't it better to save your trouble at your age? Look at Liu Haizhong and the others, they're always busy and worried. In the future, this position should be filled by younger people. Unless there are any major mistakes, let Da Mao stay in that position."
"Da Bao, you've really woken me up! You're right, we're all getting old, it's time for the younger generation to take the lead."
Yi Zhonghai put down his teacup and said leisurely.
Wang Dabao's lips curled up slightly, realizing that Yi Zhonghai was not being sincere.
But I didn't point it out. It's pointless. If you can take it in, then take it in. If you can't, you'll suffer later.
"Old Yi, that's the right way to think. If there are any problems in the compound in the future, we can all discuss and solve them together. Old Liu and Old Yan aren't the type to ignore advice, right?!"
Yi Zhonghai suppressed his resentment and forced a smile that looked more like a grimace. "Don't worry, Brother Da Bao. You're right. We need to discuss things together in this courtyard."
After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Yi Zhonghai got up to take his leave.
A cool breeze in the courtyard helped Yi Zhonghai regain some clarity.
What's wrong with me? I know they're in cahoots, so why am I asking all this nonsense? I'm just making myself miserable.
So, not only did I give them the gift, I also got scolded.
...... ......
Sha Zhu had been sullen ever since Qin Huairu brought back the news that afternoon.
He tossed and turned in bed at night, now harboring a great deal of resentment towards Wang Dabao.
Why is Wang Dabao so popular with women? Why do all the women like Wang Dabao? What's wrong with Sha Zhu?!
However, he still hoped for good news from Qin Huairu.
After all, Wang Dabao has a girlfriend, and a very beautiful one at that. Judging from her demeanor, she comes from a different family than ordinary girls like Qin Jingru.
When Qin Jingru met Wang Dabao's girlfriend, it was like a country bumpkin meeting a phoenix!
Sha Zhu thought to himself, but then realized something was wrong. Qin Jingru was a free-range chicken, so what was he? He wanted to be a free-range chicken too, but even a free-range chicken didn't want him.
Thinking about this, Sha Zhu felt a little upset. What the hell was going on?!
Anyway, Wang Dabao wouldn't give up such a beautiful girlfriend and instead date Qin Jingru, so he has a chance.
What kind of knowledge could a girl from the countryside have? I'll take her around Beijing and I'll definitely win her over. We can worry about the future later. Isn't it better to win her over first and warm her bed?
That's what we'll do!
Finally, Sha Zhu made up his mind, and soon drowsiness overcame him, and he fell asleep snoring.
...... ......
Qin Huairu was also sighing in bed, wondering how her cousin Qin Jingru could have fallen for Wang Dabao!
They only met once, and he's already fallen for her? They met half a year ago, so long ago.
Wang Dabao's girlfriend is far superior to her cousin's. She had already told her cousin about this when she got home that morning, and even described Xiao Su's clothes, height, figure, appearance, and temperament in detail.
Qin Jingru cried at that moment. After all, she was her cousin, and Qin Huairu didn't have the heart to hurt her too much.
But who knew that the girl would get so worked up and insist on coming to Beijing to see Wang Dabao.
Qin Huairu's constant sighing kept Jia Zhangshi from sleeping well.
"Why are you sighing all the time instead of sleeping? You won't let anyone else sleep either, will you?" Jia Zhangshi said irritably after being woken up.
Qin Huairu sighed again: "Didn't I tell you? It's about my cousin's matter."
Madam Jia, her eyes still heavy with sleep, said, "You mean Lao Liu's affair? Humph, what else could it be? Although I haven't seen Wang Dabao's girlfriend, there are rumors about her in the courtyard. Old Zhou's wife in the front yard saw her and said she's a fairy descended from heaven. Just imagine how beautiful she must be."
"Besides, even if Wang Dabao doesn't have a girlfriend, does that mean he'd be interested in your sixth son?"
Madam Jia turned over and turned her head to the side, but her words still came through.
"I've told your sixth son to give up on that idea. I've been through everything, and I'm always right when it comes to judging people and situations. There's no way she and Wang Dabao can be together."
Qin Huairu glanced at Jia Zhangshi's retreating figure with annoyance.
"If it works out, wouldn't our family benefit too?"
"Don't even think about that. You must have seen the interior of Wang Dabao's house. With his taste, he would never even consider your sister." Madam Jia said this with absolute certainty.
Qin Huairu sighed again, "Whatever, I'll try to persuade her again when she comes. Take it or leave it."
After saying that, Qin Huairu lay down and covered her head to sleep.
