Chapter 1281: Like-minded People

The next day.

Red Star Rolling Mill.

Factory Director Li ran into Cao Weiguo outside the canteen and said with a beaming smile, "Weiguo, I'm truly sorry about last night. I got too happy and drank too much, and I even troubled you to take care of me for half the day. Your sister-in-law gave me quite an earful."

Cao Weiguo said with a guilty conscience, "Director, what are you saying? I'm the one who should be thanking you and your wife for the generous hospitality. Especially the dumplings your wife made—they were so fragrant that even a cook like me feels inferior. To be honest, I've never eaten such delicious dumplings. Director, you are truly blessed to have married your wife. No wonder your health is so good; this must be all thanks to her."

Factory Director Li laughed heartily, "Hahaha... If you like your sister-in-law's dumplings, Weiguo, then come over to the house as a guest often. I enjoy drinking with you—it's a pleasure!"

Feeling guilty, Cao Weiguo took his briefcase, leaned in close to Factory Director Li, and whispered mysteriously, "Director, I've brought you the medicinal wine you wanted."

Thinking that Factory Director Li had treated him quite well, and considering he had been with the man's wife—even if he was forced—he had indeed given Factory Director Li a "green hat"... Sigh... It really was embarrassing!

To express his inner apology, Cao Weiguo decided to satisfy Factory Director Li's needs by giving him an extra bottle of medicinal wine, which could be considered compensation for the good leader who was being kept in the dark.

Factory Director Li's eyes lit up instantly, and he said with delight, "Good, good, good! Let's go to the office and talk!"

The two walked into the office building side by side, making Xu Damao and the others green with envy.

He had gone to great lengths to curry favor with Factory Director Li, yet the director bossed him around like a dog and rarely gave him a pleasant look.

But look at how he treated Cao Weiguo—it was a completely different attitude, as intimate as sworn brothers.

"Pah! Birds of a feather! They smell the same and are in cahoots! What a piece of work!"

"Li, are you blind? If so, don't blame me for switching sides!"

Xu Damao clutched his briefcase and walked straight into Director Deng's office.

If Factory Director Li wouldn't use him, he would find another way.

He, Xu Damao, was a smart man; how could he hang himself on a single crooked tree?

As like-minded people who shared the same tastes, Factory Director Li felt an extra sense of closeness toward Cao Weiguo.

Factory Director Li held the medicinal wine, unable to put it down: "Weiguo! This wine of yours is excellent! Can you get some more?"

Cao Weiguo said with difficulty, "Director, I bought this medicinal wine from an old physician in Changchun during this business trip. I only managed to get three bottles in total. If you need more, I'll find a time to go to Changchun and buy a few more from that old physician."

Factory Director Li thought for a moment and said, "Don't rush this. Weiguo, I'll be honest with you: I intend to give this medicinal wine to an old leader. If the old leader likes it, then I'll have to trouble you to make a trip. You should be mentally prepared for this, but rest assured, this will be beneficial for both you and me."

Cao Weiguo said with a face full of excitement, "Director, I understand! Thank you for your guidance, Director!"

Factory Director Li smiled with satisfaction, "A child worth teaching! Weiguo! You are a talent worth molding! I didn't misjudge you!"

Cao Weiguo: "It's all thanks to your cultivation, Leader!"

Coming out of Factory Director Li's office, a smile hung on the corner of Cao Weiguo's mouth.

He had lied to Factory Director Li; the medicinal wine didn't come from an old physician in Changchun, but from the hands of him, the "divine doctor."

As for the "Three Whips and Seven Treasures" nonsense, that was all just him spouting off. Although the medicinal wine required many ingredients, they weren't actually scarce, nor were they too expensive.

Moreover, aside from the deer whip and deer blood, the other ingredients came from the farm. Brewing medicinal wine was a piece of cake for him.

Besides, on this trip to Changchun, not only did he buy plenty of tiger whip, tiger bone, and deer whip, but he also bought a few sika deer cubs from the pigeon market. Once these cubs bred and multiplied on the farm, brewing dozens of jars of this virility-boosting medicinal wine a year would be a trivial matter.

If he could use Factory Director Li's influence to build a reputation for this wine, it would be a very lucrative path to wealth.

This fortune was truly unstoppable!

How helpless!

In a pleasant mood, he pushed open the door to the finance office, only to see Bai Lijuan rummaging through files in the cabinet with her backside stuck out. The impact of that astonishing curve was extremely strong...

Hearing the movement, Bai Lijuan was startled and quickly straightened up, but upon turning her head and seeing it was Cao Weiguo, she immediately bent back down to continue searching.

Cao Weiguo: "Ahem, ahem!"

Bai Lijuan: "Is your throat uncomfortable? Drink more water. Come in and close the door."

"Slap!"

Cao Weiguo closed the door and gave that perky part a slap; the crisp sound was extremely pleasant to the ear.

Bai Lijuan blushed, straightened up, and glared with her phoenix eyes, "What are you doing!" ===== CHAPTER 1283 =====
