Why did you bring back such a large piece?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The Second Master smiled: \"What's the rush? Our family took advantage this time, we only spent one Brother Yuan more and got an extra jin of smoked meat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The Second Aunt said happily: \"That's a good thing, Cao Cao Weiguo does business at a loss?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The Second Master said proudly: \"That's because he respects me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Liu Liu Guangfu said greedily: \"Dad, Mom, hurry up and cut some for us to taste.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The Second Master glared: \"Taste my foot! This is the ladder for your father to become an official, whoever dares to touch it, I'll break their hand!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Liu Guangtian and Liu Liu Guangfu immediately wilted.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>They could only stare at the smoked meat and swallow their saliva.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>They wouldn't doubt that the Second Master's words were fake.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>With the Second Master's temper, breaking their hands might be the light punishment!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Rolling Mill\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After lunch, Cao Cao Weiguo chatted with Director Feng of the procurement section about recent work.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Last month, Cao Cao Weiguo exceeded his procurement tasks and received recognition from Factory Director Yang.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>As a result, the approval of procurement funds for this month was exceptionally smooth.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Director Feng, this is the financial report of the procurement section for last month!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Take a look and see if there are any problems?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>While chatting about the procurement tasks for June, a plump and beautiful woman walked in.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Director Bai, please sit down!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Taking the report document, Director Feng quickly browsed through it line by line.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Director Bai looked at Cao Cao Weiguo with a smile: \"I say, Director Cao, you've been amazing lately. The villagers in the surrounding villages all think well of you, and the leaders also recognize you very much.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Cao Cao Weiguo smiled: \"This is all serving the people, it's what I should do.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Director Bai teased: \"You, you're so young and already speaking in official jargon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Cao Cao Weiguo smiled: \"Director Bai's words truly leave me speechless.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Speak less and do more!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Too much talk leads to mistakes!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He didn't want to be convicted for his words!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Director Feng handed the document to Director Bai: \"Director Bai, stop teasing our Director Cao, he's still young and can't handle teasing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Director Bai said with a smile: \"Alright, then I won't tease you anymore.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After speaking, she swayed her plump waist and left.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Director Feng winked at Cao Cao Weiguo: \"Look at that waist swaying, it could make a person's bones go soft.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Cao Cao Weiguo smiled: \"Keep your voice down, she hasn't gone far yet, be careful she makes your bones go soft first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This Director Bai was also a flower of the rolling mill, but this flower was both charming and thorny.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Many men in the factory were envious, but no one dared to go over and pick it.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>At three o'clock, Cao Cao Weiguo received a notice to attend a meeting.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Arriving at the conference room, most of the directors had already arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Cao Cao Weiguo found a seat and sat down, looking at the spirited Deputy Factory Director Li.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Factory Director Yang was away for study, and Deputy Factory Director Li, as the current head of the factory, spoke first.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The procurement director, security section chief, cafeteria director... seemed to be in high spirits.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The financial director, propaganda director, workshop director... were somewhat listless.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It seemed Factory Director Yang's \"study trip\" this time wasn't simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The meeting was chaired by Deputy Factory Director Li, and the main content was that he would be fully responsible for the work of the rolling mill during Factory Director Yang's study trip.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Secondly, it was to ensure the work plan for June, guaranteeing production while strengthening ideological and moral construction.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>However, what Deputy Factory Director Li talked about most was learning in the ideological field.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Cao Cao Weiguo listened very attentively and took notes seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This upright attitude made Deputy Factory Director Li very gratified.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>A burst of enthusiastic applause rang out, and Deputy Factory Director Li's speech finally ended.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He accepted everyone's applause with a smile, raised his hand and pressed it down, and the applause below gradually stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Next, we invite Director Fang to speak.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After the conference room returned to silence, Deputy Factory Director Li called Director Fang's name.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Director Fang, who was thin and tall and wore glasses, walked to the stage and aimed at the microphone with a cold and solemn expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"I believe everyone has listened carefully to Deputy Factory Director Li's speech just now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"The motherland has achieved historic achievements...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Full of earnest expectations for the broad masses of the people!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Now the higher-ups have appointed me to lead the work...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Director Fang paused for a long time here, his hawk-like eyes scanning the entire venue.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"In future work, we must persist in serving the people and working for the people wholeheartedly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Highlight the examination of the ideological and moral cultivation of cadres and workers, and strictly control the ideological awareness...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"People who do not observe discipline, have poor character, or are morally corrupt... must resolutely not be used.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Director Fang was extremely serious when he said this, and everyone present tightened their nerves.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>With Director Fang's speech, the conference room was quiet to the extreme, and everyone didn't dare to move.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Everyone felt an invisible, huge pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Until the end of the meeting, everyone looked solemn and didn't dare to joke around easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Some people even hung their heads, like eggplants beaten by frost.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After a meeting, Deputy Factory Director Li organized a dinner as usual.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Cao Cao Weiguo stayed behind again to work overtime without pay.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After serving the last dish, Cao Cao Weiguo was invited to the wine table.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After three rounds of drinks, it was already eight o'clock in the evening when he left the rolling mill.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Halfway there, he was blocked by the Pretty Yaksha he had met once before.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The Pretty Yaksha smiled charmingly: \"What a coincidence, we meet again!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Cao Cao Weiguo sneered with a playful look: \"Are you sure you weren't waiting for me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The Pretty Yaksha hummed: \"Hmph, why are you so boring.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Cao Cao Weiguo said coldly: \"You're waiting for me here, do you want revenge?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The Pretty Yaksha waved her hand quickly: \"No, no, no! I definitely don't want revenge on you, I, I want to learn martial arts from you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Cao Cao Weiguo said straightforwardly: \"I won't teach.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The Pretty Yaksha pleaded: \"I am sincerely asking for advice, please give me a chance!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Cao Cao Weiguo said: \"I don't want to teach, and I don't have time to teach. If there's nothing else, please move aside.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The Pretty Yaksha's beautiful eyes were filled with anger: \"Why are you so heartless!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Cao Cao Weiguo couldn't help but smile: \"Do we have any human feelings?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This woman first set a trap to pit him, and now she's coming to him to learn martial arts; who knows if it's a new trap.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Even if it wasn't a trap, Cao Cao Weiguo didn't want to find trouble for himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The Pretty Yaksha said angrily: \"We are both people in the martial arts world, shouldn't we help each other?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Cao Cao Weiguo was speechless: \"Although I know some boxing and kicking, I am not some person in the martial arts world.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Also, what era is this? Saying these things, aren't you afraid of being caught?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The Pretty Yaksha said angrily: \"If you aren't in the martial arts world, then where did your martial arts come from? I think you are forgetting your roots and abandoning the righteousness of the martial arts world!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Cao Cao Weiguo sneered: \"What I do has nothing to do with you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After speaking, Cao Cao Weiguo twisted the handlebars and pedaled his bicycle around the Pretty Yaksha.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Don't you dare leave!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The Pretty Yaksha grabbed the seat, and Cao Cao Weiguo turned around with an unhappy expression:\u003C\u002Fp>",1336,"2026-06-16T06:49:19.248Z","2026-06-17T08:52:03.356Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","7d05cf7792413d49af738a27f768406ba1ffa24fa7130b02d90e6cd3bc3d89af","siheyuan-the-salted-fish-s-beautiful-life-chapter-104","siheyuan-the-salted-fish-s-beautiful-life-chapter-102",843,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsiheyuan-the-salted-fish-s-good-life-cover.jpg"]
