Chapter 115: Chocolate

Early Morning

After breakfast, Cao Cao Weiguo pushed his bicycle out of the courtyard.

Qin Qin Huairu ran out from the alley entrance: "Cao Weiguo."

Cao Cao Weiguo said grumpily: "Sister Qin, don't look for me again, I'm afraid of your mother-in-law!"

He couldn't eat the mutton, but he would get a body full of trouble.

That old hag of the Jia family would make trouble for no reason; if he really got involved, he would be skinned alive.

Qin Qin Huairu said with a miserable look: "My mother-in-law is sorry to you, but I have no malice toward you."

Cao Cao Weiguo said bluntly: "Whether you are kind or malicious, I don't want to cause trouble."

Qin Qin Huairu said pitifully: "Cao Weiguo, I..."

Before Qin Qin Huairu could finish, Cao Cao Weiguo pedaled his bicycle and left.

As if there were a flood or beast behind him.

This made Qin Qin Huairu stomp her feet in anger, and she complained about Jia Jia Zhangshi a hundred times in her heart.

This had scared the man away, who would she find to help the Jia family!

The residents of the Sihe Academy were either poor or shrewd.

There were only a few who had the conditions and ability to help her family.

Sha Zhu, Xu Xu Damao, First Master, and Cao Cao Weiguo!

Sha Zhu was suspended and reflecting, and taking private jobs was also hit or miss.

Once he earned quite a bit, but there were too few such jobs.

The money he earned was also almost all borrowed by her.

Xu Xu Damao was the type who wouldn't release the hawk until he saw the rabbit.

If she wanted to borrow money from him, she would inevitably be taken advantage of.

Unless it was a last resort, Qin Qin Huairu didn't want to go to Xu Xu Damao.

First Master had money but held it very tightly.

Borrowing some food was fine, but don't even mention borrowing money.

The only one left was Cao Cao Weiguo, who was rich, young, and handsome.

Qin Qin Huairu was willing to be close to Cao Cao Weiguo in her heart, and she didn't resist being taken advantage of when borrowing money.

But such a high-quality resource had been offended by Jia Jia Zhangshi.

Steel Rolling Mill

After arranging the work in the kitchen, Cao Cao Weiguo ran to the office building happily.

He wandered to the fourth-floor finance section and knocked on the office door.

"Why did you come during the day!"

Bai Sister Lijuan opened the door and was both shy and happy to see Cao Cao Weiguo.

Cao Cao Weiguo walked into the office and closed the door casually.

"Isn't it because I missed you."

Saying this, Cao Cao Weiguo took a piece of chocolate wrapped in candy paper from his pocket.

"Taste it."

Bai Sister Lijuan took the chocolate: "What is this?"

Cao Cao Weiguo said with a smile: "Chocolate."

"Chocolate!"

Bai Sister Lijuan peeled off the candy paper in surprise and saw the brown chocolate inside.

"Where did you get this!"

This chocolate was a food that only existed in foreign countries.

She had only heard of it.

Cao Cao Weiguo said with a smile: "I bought it specifically for you at Wang Wang Fujing yesterday."

Bai Sister Lijuan took a small bite; the texture was delicate and sweet, and it had a rich aroma.

The taste she had never tasted before made her intoxicated.

Cao Cao Weiguo asked with a smile: "Is it good?"

Bai Sister Lijuan nodded happily: "Good, this is my first time eating chocolate."

Cao Cao Weiguo said: "If you like it, I'll buy it for you next time."

Bai Sister Lijuan wrapped the chocolate with the candy paper: "Even if it's good, you can't be greedy. This thing must not be cheap."

"As long as you like it!"

Cao Cao Weiguo grabbed Bai Sister Lijuan's hand: "Since we have come together, I will treat you sincerely."

Bai Sister Lijuan stared straight at Cao Cao Weiguo with her phoenix eyes, as if she wanted to see through his heart.

Cao Cao Weiguo was a bit unable to handle Bai Sister Lijuan's "sharp" gaze.

"Sister Sister Lijuan, what kind of look is that?"

"A look of scrutiny!"

Bai Sister Lijuan said with a smile: "Don't have too much burden. I'm with you just to fill the emptiness in my life."

Cao Cao Weiguo held Bai Sister Lijuan's hand: "No matter the reason, you and I have been tied together by the old man's red string."

"I didn't expect you to be so sweet-talking and know how to make women happy."

Bai Sister Lijuan rolled her eyes at Cao Cao Weiguo with a thousand charms, and said happily in her heart:

"Then if we don't have that kind of relationship in the future, will you still care about me?"

This question made Cao Cao Weiguo stunned.

If that kind of relationship hadn't happened, Cao Cao Weiguo wouldn't have had special feelings for Bai Sister Lijuan.

Bai Sister Lijuan stepped forward and hugged Cao Cao Weiguo: "Can't you answer?"

"I can!"

Cao Cao Weiguo said in a gentle tone: "As long as I hold you, I will care for you and love you, and treat you as my other half."

The sweet words made Bai Sister Lijuan's heart warm. She was already twenty-seven years old this year, but she became a widow in the second year of her marriage.

Her romantic experience between men and women was almost zero!

Many men had pursued her over the years, but she hadn't taken a fancy to those men.

It wasn't that her standards were high, but those men were either old, ugly, poor, or rude...

Having a relationship with Cao Cao Weiguo was half because of drunkenness and half because of long-term emptiness.

The sweet words spoken by the person she admired, even if she didn't know if they were true or false, still made her very happy.

"Smooth-tongued!"

Bai Sister Lijuan blushed and punched Cao Cao Weiguo's shoulder with her pink fist.

The two of them were affectionate for a while before separating, without doing anything out of line.

After all, this was an office.

Neither Cao Cao Weiguo nor Bai Sister Lijuan had such great courage.

If they were discovered, it would be irreparable.

The issue of style in this era was a very serious problem.

A slight carelessness could lead to the destruction of a family.

Cao Cao Weiguo was so eager to please Bai Sister Lijuan.

A large part of the reason was that he was afraid Bai Sister Lijuan would make trouble.

For the impulse that night, Cao Cao Weiguo was both regretful and afraid.

Fortunately, Bai Sister Lijuan didn't report it, and it wasn't discovered by others.

Otherwise, he was afraid his life would end there.

Leaving Bai Sister Lijuan's office, Cao Cao Weiguo's mood was also very complicated.

Both excited and uneasy.

Having appeased Bai Sister Lijuan, Cao Cao Weiguo calmed his mood.

Then he went to Deputy Factory Director Li's office.

This time he didn't beat around the bush too much and asked straightforwardly about the rules for arranging jobs.

Hearing that there was business coming, Deputy Factory Director Li's smile became even thicker.

Deputy Factory Director Li didn't hide anything: "We might recruit people in July. Three hundred Brother Yuan per person, and I can arrange for him to be an apprentice in the workshop."

Deputy Factory Director Li was a utilitarian!

He was sanctimonious on the surface, but he did many dirty things behind the scenes, and he would fish for oil and water whenever he had the chance.

This kind of person was detrimental to society, but Cao Cao Weiguo didn't hate him.

Benefit exchange, each taking what they needed.

If he didn't have this relationship with Deputy Factory Director Li, it would be hard for him to find a way to get things done.

After talking about arranging jobs, Deputy Factory Director Li mentioned Sha Zhu.

Sha Zhu found Factory Director Yang on Sunday.

Factory Director Yang said many good things for Sha Zhu.

Through some kind of transaction, Sha Zhu would soon return to the factory.

Cao Cao Weiguo sighed: "Sha Zhu is unruly. Letting him off so easily not only fails to educate him but will instead fuel his arrogance."

Deputy Factory Director Li said: "I don't approve of Sha Zhu returning to work early either, but Factory Director Yang is backing him, so I can't easily refuse."

Cao Cao Weiguo said: "Sigh, the factory should be fully managed by leaders like you who serve the people wholeheartedly, otherwise people who break the law and discipline will only become more arrogant."

Deputy Factory Director Li said happily: "Cao Weiguo, don't be discouraged. Even if Sha Zhu comes back, he won't be proud for long. Once he loses his backing, you can deal with him however you want."
