Chapter 1071

Deputy Factory Director Li was a veteran at the dinner table and accepted every toast.

Cao Weiguo was young and vigorous, holding his wine glass and drinking heartily.

Xu Damao sat at another table, staring and worrying anxiously.

He also wanted to sit at the table with the high-level leaders, and he also wanted to hold his wine glass and charge into the fray.

Unfortunately, his level wasn't high enough, so he could only barely sit at a table with some deputy section chiefs and deputy directors.

Zhao Meihong poured half a glass of wine to toast Deputy Factory Director Li. Deputy Factory Director Li said with a smile that a toast must be full, so Zhao Meihong poured it full with a charming smile and drank it in one gulp.

"Director Zhao has a good capacity for liquor!"

"A heroine among women!"

"Powerful!"

"Director Zhao, you've worked hard today, I'll toast you!"

Director Deng looked at Cao Weiguo with his wine glass: "Director Cao! They say a strong general has no weak soldiers! Director Zhao is a soldier under you, and if the soldier is so capable, you, the general, naturally won't fall behind, right!"

Director Deng started the "battle," so how could Cao Weiguo shrink back and avoid the fight: "I've long heard that Director Deng has a massive capacity. Today, being able to drink at the same table with Director Deng, I must toast you a few more times!"

Cao Weiguo picked up the Maotai and filled three glasses: "Director Deng! I'll finish mine! You drink as you please!"

After drinking three glasses in a row, Cao Weiguo couldn't help but feel his face flush.

"Good!"

"Director Cao is straightforward!"

"Director Cao not only has strong work ability, but his drinking capacity is also top-notch!"

"Hahaha... Old Deng! You've met your match! Go for it!"

Seeing this, Director Deng couldn't show weakness and also filled three glasses in a row.

This made the atmosphere in the restaurant even higher, and everyone started egging them on to drink.

Cao Weiguo said with a smile: "Director Deng is grand! We must exchange and learn from each other more in the future!"

Director Deng was a competitor of Deputy Factory Director Li, but this person had a deep background and was by no means comparable to Factory Director Yang.

Even Deputy Factory Director Li only went so far with Director Deng and didn't dare to go too far.

Regarding this colleague with a "bright future," Cao Weiguo naturally had the intention to befriend him.

Director Deng also had thoughts about Cao Weiguo, and seeing Cao Weiguo release goodwill, he happily accepted with his wine glass: "That couldn't be better."

Holding his wine glass and eating food, Cao Weiguo talked and laughed with several leaders.

Watching a group of leaders toasting each other, Xu Damao couldn't sit still. He walked over with his wine glass, nodding and bowing to flatter them, coming up with a new trick of six small and six big, implying everything would go smoothly.

This performance made the leaders laugh out loud, and Xu Damao drank until he was swaying, almost falling to the ground.

The Propaganda Section Chief felt that this subordinate was embarrassing, so he supported the already unconscious Xu Damao and left early.

Cafeteria Kitchen

Shazhu was arguing with Nan Yi when Liang Ladi came over.

Seeing the beautiful Liang Ladi, Shazhu's eyes went straight.

Thinking that this Liang Ladi was a pair with Nan Yi, he felt indescribably stifled in his heart.

How could the good cabbage be arched by a pig!

Were these women all blind?

Zhao Meihong came to the kitchen with a flushed face: "Master Chu, Liu Limin, Li Fei, work hard and stay behind for duty. Others can go home first."

Shazhu stared: "Director Zhao! You're killing the donkey after the mill is finished!"

Letting him go back first sounded like a good thing.

But for Shazhu, only by staying until the end would he have a chance to share the leftovers.

Now going back empty-handed, wouldn't he have worked in vain.

Zhao Meihong looked at Shazhu unhappily: "Master He, what do you mean by that?"

Shazhu said unhappily: "Don't you know what I mean? We've been busy for several hours here, and what we're looking forward to is taking some leftovers back. Now you're asking me to go home empty-handed. If this isn't killing the donkey after the mill is finished, what is it?"

Zhao Meihong said angrily: "Master He, I was clearly trying to let you go back and rest early. Why are you biting Lu Dongbin and not recognizing a good heart?"

Shazhu: "Then I'll bite you. I'm not leaving. I'm willing to stay until the end. Anyway, those leftovers can't just benefit Cao Weiguo's group."

Look at the people Zhao Meihong left behind: Chu Jinshui, Liu Limin, Li Fei—they were either Cao Weiguo's senior brothers or Cao Weiguo's apprentices. It seemed like any oil or water was eaten by them.

Zhao Meihong said with an ugly expression: "Fine! Stay if you want! What kind of person! Others who want to go home can go home, and those who want to stay for duty can stay."

After saying this, Zhao Meihong left angrily.

Liang Ladi asked Nan Yi: "Is this your director? She's not good! The people below are talking back to her like this, and she doesn't even get angry."

Nan Yi curled his lips: "A woman, what can she get angry about? If it weren't for..."

Liang Ladi asked gossipingly: "If it weren't for what? Why are you only saying half of what you mean!"

Nan Yi said in a low voice: "We'll talk about this when we get home."

Liang Ladi asked: "Then when are we going back?"

Nan Yi: "The leader has spoken, so of course we're leaving now. There's nothing to do staying here, and I've been sleepy for a long time."

Liang Ladi: "What about the leftovers? Not wanting them?"

Nan Yi said in a low voice: "Don't think about those leftovers. In the afternoon, Director Cao privately rewarded me with five catties of cured meat. We'll go home and eat meat; who eats leftovers anymore."

Liang Ladi: "Look at my brother, he's grand! That's why my brother can be a leader! You have to follow my brother well in the future and don't embarrass me."

Nan Yi said jealously: "Whose side are you on! You're closer to Cao Weiguo than to me."

Liang Ladi: "Of course I'm on your side, but Cao Weiguo is also my brother. Let's go, stop talking nonsense, the children are waiting for you at home."

Nan Yi said a few words to Chu Jinshui and left the cafeteria with Liang Ladi.

Others also packed their things and went home one after another.

Leftovers are good, but with so many people sharing, there wouldn't be much to go around.

Besides, they ate well enough today, so they weren't lacking food. It was better to go home early to accompany their families.

It was just Shazhu who didn't have a wife or children, and going home meant being all alone.

Liu Lan patted Shazhu: "Shazhu, you're really not leaving!"

Shazhu stiffened his neck: "Not leaving! Returning empty-handed is not my character!"

Liu Lan laughed: "You're really something. It's also true that you have nothing to do at home, and the taste of being alone is not as good as staying in the cafeteria to shine and heat."

Shazhu said unhappily: "Hey! Liu Lan, who are you laughing at?"

Liu Lan said with a smile: "I'm not laughing at you. Seriously, do you still want to marry a wife? That Niu Fangfang I mentioned is quite good. She's not as good-looking as Qin Huairu, but she's diligent and kind-hearted, knows how to care for people, and is very good."

Shazhu said disdainfully: "Forget it! That Niu Fangfang is six years older than me, and she's big and round. She's a living Sun Erniang. I'm not someone who can't find anyone, and I'm not that desperate."

Liu Lan curled her lips: "You don't even know what you look like, and your standards are quite high. You look down on Niu Fangfang, but she might not even look down on you."

Shazhu said angrily: "What do I look like? I'm good! Liu Lan, stop meddling in other people's business. I don't need you to worry about me."

Liu Lan said: "Hey! Fine, fine, fine! It's me meddling in other people's business, I'm leaving now."

Shazhu looked at Liu Lan's back and spat on the ground: "What kind of thing, what do I look like? I'm good! Even at my worst, I'm a hundred times better than that Deputy Factory Director Li."

There are no walls that don't let the wind through in this world. Liu Lan's affair with Deputy Factory Director Li was no secret.

Shazhu looked down on Liu Lan's improper conduct from the bottom of his heart.

Even Liu Lan's good intention of introducing him to a partner was seen as malicious in his heart.

Besides, he was so excellent, why worry about not being able to marry a good wife! ===== CHAPTER 1073 =====
