~6 min read 1,199 words

Hearing Shazhu say so much, Liu Lan didn't even think, and blurted out:

"Well, this time, I believe you."

Shazhu pretended to think for a moment, then said:

"Last time, you said it was at whose house? I just glanced at a document, and it had our factory's affairs on it."

Upon hearing this, Director Li couldn't help but shiver all over.

Then.

His gaze fixed on Shazhu.

Shazhu held back his laughter and continued:

"Because I saw our factory's affairs on it, I paid a bit of attention."

"It's stated very clearly on this."

"Um, for example, you see, it says our......"

Saying this, he glanced at Director Li, his brows knitting tightly, then he slapped his own face with his hand, waved his hand, and said:

"This shouldn't be said, this, this person really told me, this can't be said."

Saying that, he lifted his wine cup, "Come on, come on, Director Li, let's drink, drink, ah come on."

He knew he had already successfully whetted Director Li's appetite.

This matter was already as good as done.

Director Li, full of worries, glanced at him, then exchanged a look with Liu Lan, and also lifted his wine cup.

Shazhu clinked cups with Director Li and said:

"I really can't say it, someone specifically warned me."

"Just pretend I never said it, just pretend I never said it, ah."

After saying that, he raised his neck and drained the cup in one gulp.

Director Li hesitated a moment, then gave Liu Lan a glance.

Then.

He said to Shazhu:

"Hey, Shazhu, then like this, you go ahead and drink first."

"I'm going to the restroom."

Shazhu: "Please hurry up."

Saying that, he picked up a bottle of wine from the table and continued:

"We have to finish this bottle of wine."

Director Li nodded, stood up, and said:

"Right away, I'll be right back."

After Director Li went out, Liu Lan spoke:

"Shazhu, I really underestimated you after all."

"I didn't expect you to be this capable."

Shazhu laughed: "What ability?"

"Well, Liu Lan, let's have one together."

"Let's wipe the slate clean of past matters, okay?"

After saying that, Shazhu lifted his wine cup.

Liu Lan also lifted her wine cup and said:

"Well, you have to tell me what you saw written in our factory's documents."

Shazhu pretended to think seriously, then said:

"Hey, what's between us?"

"Actually, I'll tell you, there's really nothing."

"But there is one thing."

"Don't tell your close friend Director Li."

"You really can't tell him, understand?"

Director Li had been standing outside the door eavesdropping; hearing this, his brows involuntarily knit tightly.

Liu Lan thought for a moment and said: "Okay, I swear I won't tell him."

Shazhu: "Don't say it."

Saying that, he glanced around, then pointed to the seat Director Li had just occupied, lowered his voice, and continued:

"Liu Lan, hurry up and stay away from this person."

"Something's going to happen."

Liu Lan frowned and asked:

"Is it true or false?"

Shazhu: "Look, I ask you, who does this factory below belong to? Do you know?"

Liu Lan's brows furrowed even tighter.

Shazhu chuckled and said: "Xu Damao's."

"They're busy up and down, always active, you know?"

"It's written in the documents, it's all his affairs."

"Embezzlement, bribery, all were forwarded by Xu Damao."

"Can we avoid trouble?"

"Director Ma, do you know?"

"Having said that, he waved at Liu Lan, and Liu Lan hurriedly moved her ear closer."

"Then Shazhu started speaking softly."

"Director Li, who had been eavesdropping outside the door, grew even more anxious, because he couldn't hear what Shazhu was saying."

"Sigh, I can only have Liu Lan tell me later."

"Although Director Li couldn't hear these things Shazhu said, he had heard every word of what Shazhu said earlier."

"About half an hour later."

"Shazhu packed several lunch boxes of meat and vegetables and returned to the Siheyuan."

"He came to the front yard, glanced at Lin Shengli's gate, hesitated, then walked over and knocked on the door."

"Lin Shengli and Zheng Juan were chatting inside when they heard the knock; Lin Shengli looked toward the gate and shouted:"

"Come in."

"As his words fell, the door opened, and Shazhu entered carrying a net bag with three lunch boxes."

"Shengli, Xiao Juan, I packed these from our canteen, untouched by chopsticks, for you."

"Shazhu lifted the lunch boxes in his hand and said:"

"\"No need, we've already eaten, \" Lin Shengli said with a smile."

"Shazhu: \"Really, I haven't touched them with chopsticks. \""

"Zheng Juan: \"We really have eaten. \""

"Shazhu: \"Alright then, Shengli, I want to tell you that I've invited Director Li and Liu Lan to a meal today. \""

"This matter is already settled; I think Xu Damao will soon be dealt with."

"Lin Shengli laughed: \"That has nothing to do with me. \""

"Shazhu nodded and said: \"Exactly, exactly, exactly, it has nothing to do with you; it's all my doing. \""

"Alright, you keep chatting, I'm heading back first."

"Lin Shengli nodded."

"Returning to the Zhongyuan, he glanced at Qin Huairu's home; the lights were all off."

"He walked back home, put the lunch boxes down, then picked up a flashlight and shone it three times at Qin Huairu's window."

"This was something he and Qin Huairu had arranged during the day."

"Tonight he will bring back packed meat and vegetables, and he wants to celebrate properly with Qin Huairu."

"Because of what he accomplished today, he felt it was within easy grasp."

"If he returns late, he will shine the flashlight three times at Qin Huairu's window."

"Although Qin Huairu was lying on the kang with the lights off, she dared not close her eyes."

"She worried that if she closed her eyes, the meat and vegetables Shazhu brought back would be taken away."

"Shazhu sat at the table, taking out the lunch boxes while muttering to himself:"

"Let's celebrate, let's celebrate properly."

"Just as he opened the three lunch boxes and poured himself a cup of wine, Qin Huairu walked in."

"Wow, this is so abundant."

"Seeing the meat and vegetables in the three lunch boxes, Qin Huairu felt very excited."

"Shazhu grinned and said: \"We're celebrating, of course it has to be abundant. \""

"Qin Huairu asked: \"What are we celebrating? \""

"Shazhu: \"What else is there to celebrate? \""

"Didn't I tell you this during the day?"

"Qin Huairu thought for a moment and asked: \"What is it? I've forgotten. \""

"Shazhu: \"Let me tell you, Xu Damao really can't stay this time. \""

"Within three days, I guarantee he'll be gone."

"Qin Huairu: \"I don't believe it. \""

"Shazhu: \"Look at you, believe it or not. \""

"Then, do you believe it now while we eat?"

"Hurry up, hurry up."

"Qin Huairu looked at the meat and vegetables in the lunch box and said:"

"The dishes are great, all meat."

"Having said that, she suddenly picked up the lunch box lid and covered all the lunch boxes."

"Shazhu was stunned and asked: \"What the hell, what are you doing? \""

"Didn't you say you weren't taking it back?"

"Besides, the kids are asleep; this meat and vegetables are for us two to celebrate properly."
