Chapter 1000: The Future is Still Bright

Night

Red Star Steel Rolling Mill

Cao Weiguo was accompanying Deputy Factory Director Li to entertain leaders from a brother unit.

A large table of dishes, with complete color, aroma, and taste.

Bottles of Moutai, filled with the scent of alcohol.

Everyone was pushing cups and changing bowls, very lively.

Unity and friendship, positive and upward, a joyful atmosphere filled the room.

Just as everyone was eating and drinking, talking and laughing, Zhao Mancang walked in, escorting a man with a bruised and swollen face.

Deputy Factory Director Li asked: "What's going on?"

Zhao Mancang said in a muffled voice: "This kid was caught stealing things in the factory."

As he spoke, he took out several parts from the man's pocket: "These are the stolen goods."

These parts looked unremarkable, but they were precision parts involving military industry.

This man was definitely not an ordinary thief!

Deputy Factory Director Li stood up excitedly: "Lock him in the Security Department immediately for strict interrogation!"

Zhao Mancang gave a military salute: "Yes!"

The party ended hastily because of this incident, and Deputy Factory Director Li personally took charge of the interrogation.

As a result, they really caught a big fish!

This man was actually a spy lurking underground!

The next day, the steel rolling mill was on full alert, and the relevant departments intervened immediately.

The broadcast commended Zhao Mancang for bravely capturing the thief.

This made Zhao Mancang, who had been keeping a low profile, famous in one battle.

Deputy Factory Director Li was also commended by his superiors for this, but he also received some criticism.

The commendation was because he caught the "thief" and avoided losses for the country.

The criticism was because the "thief" had actually entered the steel rolling mill and even stole precision parts.

On one side was merit, on the other was a work deficiency, and in the end, Deputy Factory Director Li's merits and demerits canceled each other out.

However, because of this incident, Deputy Factory Director Li was able to intervene in the Security Department in a justified manner.

Cao Weiguo hosted a hot pot dinner for Zhao Mancang, just to celebrate Zhao Mancang's merit.

Zhao Mancang's cousin, Zhao Dehou, naturally arrived, his mouth unable to close from joy.

He didn't expect his dull cousin to be so capable.

He had achieved merit without making a sound!

It was said to be a second-class merit!

This would be of huge help to his future promotion.

At the dinner table, while Zhao Dehou praised Zhao Mancang, he didn't forget to thank Cao Weiguo.

In the steel rolling mill, Cao Weiguo hadn't been stingy with his care for Zhao Mancang.

Zhao Mancang was not good at social interaction, but he was a person who was rough on the outside but fine on the inside.

He knew clearly who was good to him and who was bad to him.

No need for many words, it was all in the wine!

Zhao Mancang picked up the wine bottle and downed half a bottle of Moutai in one go.

This made Cao Weiguo feel a bit of heartache, this was 55-year Moutai after all.

You just wasted it like this?

After eating and drinking their fill, the three of them went back to their homes.

Sihe Academy

Sihe Academy

Shazhu was drinking gloomy wine alone in his room, his good marriage had been ruined again.

His eyes were unfocused, and he looked listless, as if he had lost his soul.

When the Deaf Old Lady saw this, she felt very heartbroken: "My dear grandson!"

When Shazhu saw the Deaf Old Lady, his eyes immediately teared up: "Grandma!"

In the evening, Jin Lian gave the money to Shazhu, and the marriage between the two was completely ruined.

The beautiful, tender cabbage was gone, and it would be a lie to say Shazhu wasn't sad.

The sad and helpless Shazhu found the Deaf Old Lady to complain, not knowing that the Deaf Old Lady was blooming with joy inside.

She had long been dissatisfied with Jin Lian, who ate alone and didn't know how to be filial to the elderly, and was always worried that Shazhu wouldn't take care of her after marrying Jin Lian.

Now that Shazhu's marriage with Jin Lian was ruined, that was just too good.

The Deaf Old Lady touched Shazhu's head: "My dear grandson, it's not worth it for such a woman. You are kind-hearted and capable, you will definitely meet a better woman. We can't be discouraged, our good days are still ahead."

Yi Zhonghai walked into the room carrying stir-fried cabbage and cornmeal porridge, and was very surprised to see this scene: "Old Lady, Zhuzi, what's wrong with you two?"

The Deaf Old Lady sighed: "Sigh! Zhuzi's marriage with Jin Lian has been ruined, and Zhuzi is sad."

Shazhu looked up and said: "I'm not sad, I'm just angry! Where am I not as good as that fat man! I gave my heart and soul to Jin Lian, but she still went behind my back and did that with another man! I'm not convinced!"

Thinking of the fat man who was comparable to Jia Zhangshi, Shazhu felt indescribably unconvinced.

Although he looked old, he was a man in the prime of his life!

What did that fat man have!

He looked just like a male version of Jia Zhangshi!

What exactly did Jin Lian see in him?

Where was he not as good as that fat man?

Could it be because that fat man was a leader!

Could it be because that fat man had money?

Those were just floating clouds, could they compare to his sincere heart!

Yi Zhonghai said hypocritically: "I told you long ago that Jin Lian wasn't suitable for you, but you just wouldn't listen. But now that you've seen Jin Lian's true colors, it's good. Don't be angry, it's not worth it. There are plenty of fragrant grasses at the ends of the earth, you must cheer up, I'll introduce you to a better woman another day, let you have a wife, children, and a warm bed, and let everyone envy you." ===== CHAPTER 1002 =====
