~7 min read 1,203 words

Qin Huairu stood up, putting the lunchbox into the net bag, and said:

"The kids are all asleep, but they can eat tomorrow."

Shazhu became a bit annoyed: "Then, what am I supposed to eat?"

Qin Huairu: "You invited Director Li for dinner tonight, didn't you?"

Shazhu: "I wasn't full."

Qin Huairu: "Who told you you weren't full?"

"You never lack an appetite, and you already ate tonight."

"Then don't eat, okay."

"Otherwise, just make do."

At that point, she pulled a packet of peanuts from her trouser pocket, slammed it onto the table, and said:

"Peanuts, eat them."

Shazhu was stunned; he looked at Qin Huairu with a gloomy face and said:

"You really are something; my mother never managed to pull off what you're doing."

Qin Huairu held the lunchbox in her hand and said:

"The kids are still growing, first take care of the kids."

Shazhu became even more gloomy: "Then what about me?"

"You could at least leave some for me."

Qin Huairu: "You're already so grown, yet still so greedy."

"Besides, you already ate tonight."

"This is for the kids, okay."

Shazhu: "I, what kind of fate is this for me?"

Qin Huairu laughed: "That's just your fate."

Then.

She walked out, with Shazhu's gloomy expression.

Shazhu let out a long sigh, opened the peanuts, and muttered to himself:

"When it comes to me, it's still peanuts; why is there not even a single piece left for me? This is just too much!"

Meanwhile.

Ya gang chang conference room.

Director Li sat in the main seat, looked around at the several deputy directors seated at the side, and said:

"Tonight, we've called you deputy directors here urgently to hold an important meeting."

"Of course, you'll wonder why we didn't call Xu Damao."

"Hold on, I'll tell you."

"Tonight, the main agenda of this meeting is a special discussion on the issue of Xu Damao."

At this point, Director Li pointed to a pile of envelopes on the table and continued:

"Everyone, look, what are these?"

Speaking, he picked up a letter and kept saying:

"These expose letters are all reports concerning problems with Xu Damao."

Hearing this, the deputy directors couldn't help but glance at each other.

Director Li went on: "But these alone are not enough."

"I think you should know him well."

"Tonight, we must produce a decisive opinion."

"Report to the superiors and dismiss Xu Damao."

Deputy Director Nie: "Director Li, you speak."

"To be honest, we've been holding this in for a long time."

"This is indeed a matter that really pleases the public."

Someone echoed: "He should have been dismissed long ago."

Director Li nodded and said: "Alright, since everyone says so, it's decided."

"But everyone keep quiet for now, lest we startle the snake in the grass."

"We must first gather evidence."

"When we have enough evidence, we'll report to the superiors and then dismiss him."

The directors shouted "Yes" in unison.

The next day.

Chen Xueru's house.

Fan Jinyou opened the door and walked in.

Chen Xueru glanced at him, saying nothing.

Fan Jinyou frowned and asked:

"Isn't it that you seem to have something on your mind lately?"

Chen Xueru was startled and said: "Is that so?"

Fan Jinyou: "Yes, it's written all over your face."

"Did something happen?"

Chen Xueru opened her mouth, wanting to say something but couldn't get any words out.

She certainly couldn't say that she had already set her sights on Lin Shengli, could she?

That's right.

She now already likes Lin Shengli.

But.

She knows about Lin Shengli's relationship with Zheng Juan.

Lin Shengli could never break up with Zheng Juan to be with her.

So, if she wants to be with Lin Shengli, it can only be without any official status, secretly together.

That still leaves her a bit unwilling.

Besides, she still doesn't know whether Lin Shengli likes her.

However, she is increasingly finding Fan Jin You unpleasant.

She thinks Fan Jin You doesn't even have the right to mention shoes to Lin Shengli.

After thinking for a moment, she asked:

"Fan Jin You, do you know if Pian Er Ye has returned?"

Fan Jin You nodded and said, "I've heard about it."

Chen Xueru said irritably, "His Houyuan wasn't even under lease; it was sold."

Fan Jin You asked, "Sold to whom?"

Chen Xueru replied, "How could he be so stupid?"

"Who could he sell it to?"

Fan Jin You thought for a moment and asked, "Xu Huizhen?"

Chen Xueru shook her head and said, "Xu Huizhen did want to buy it at first, but she was ultimately a step too late."

Fan Jin You thought again and asked, "Lin Shengli?"

Chen Xueru nodded and said, "That's right; Shengli told me that Pian Er Ye's Siheyuan was sold to him."

"Fortunately it wasn't sold to Xu Huizhen, otherwise I couldn't get this feeling out of my heart."

Fan Jin You frowned and asked, "Isn't it that you're quite happy it was sold to Lin Shengli?"

Chen Xueru replied, "I wouldn't say I'm happy, but at least it's better than Xu Huizhen buying it."

Fan Jin You thought and said, "Lin Shengli actually dared to buy a house; doesn't he know houses can't be bought and sold?"

"If I report it, this Factory Director of mine will probably be at his end."

Chen Xueru heard this, her eyebrows slightly furrowing, and thought to herself:

"How did I forget this matter?"

"Isn't this harming Shengli?"

After thinking, she looked at Fan Jin You and said:

"Forget it, you can't beat Lin Shengli."

"Director Huang did say that Lin Shengli is a special talent with special authority."

"If you report him, I'm afraid you'll be throwing stones at your own feet."

Fan Jin You said, "B-but, can we let such a good opportunity slip so easily?"

Chen Xueru asked coldly, "What? My words aren't effective anymore, are they?"

Fan Jin You was stunned for a moment, "No, they're still effective."

"But I'm unwilling. This Lin Shengli never even gives me a proper look."

Chen Xueru: "Fan Jin You, do you think you're smarter than Cui Dake?"

Fan Jin You shook his head.

Chen Xueru: "Someone as clever as Cui Dake was dealt with by Lin Shengli and thrown into prison, serving over a decade straight."

"If you think you're smarter than Cui Dake, then go provoke Lin Shengli."

Fan Jin You thought for a moment and asked:

"Then, what should we do?"

Chen Xueru: "What do you mean, what to do?"

"Consider this as if I never said it."

Fan Jin You made a nasal sound and said nothing.

As if I never said it?

Hmph, I can't shortchange Lin Shengli.

Fan Jin You is growing more and more disgusted with Lin Shengli.

Because he suspects that Lin Shengli has issues with Chen Xueru, suspecting that Lin Shengli and Chen Xueru have already put a colored hat on him.

He already felt Lin Shengli didn't respect him, and now with this suspicion, of course he wants to report Lin Shengli.

Chen Xueru warned, "Fan Jin You, I'm serious with you."

"If you dare to provoke Lin Shengli, our marriage will also reach its end."
