Chapter 204

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

If she wanted to borrow money from him, she couldn't avoid being taken advantage of.

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

First Uncle 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 Weiguo, who was rich, young, and handsome.

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

But this high-quality resource had been offended deeply by Jia Zhangshi.

Rolling Mill

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

He wandered to the fourth-floor Finance Section and knocked on the office door.

"Why did you come over during the day!"

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

Cao Weiguo walked into the office and closed the door behind him.

"Isn't it because I missed you."

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

"Taste this."

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

Cao Weiguo smiled and said: "Chocolate."

"Chocolate!"

Bai Lijuan peeled off the candy paper in surprise, seeing 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 Weiguo smiled and said: "I bought it specially for you at Wang Fujing yesterday."

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

Bai Lijuan nodded happily: "It's good, this is my first time eating chocolate."

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

Bai Lijuan wrapped the chocolate back up 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 Weiguo grabbed Bai Lijuan's hand: "Since we've come together, I will treat you sincerely."

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

Cao Weiguo couldn't handle Bai Lijuan's "sharp" gaze.

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

"A look of scrutiny!"

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

Cao Weiguo held Bai Lijuan's hand: "No matter the reason, you and I have been tied together by the red string of the Old Man of the Moon."

"I didn't expect you to be so sweet-talking, coaxing women to be happy."

Bai Lijuan gave Cao Weiguo a charming glare, feeling happy in her heart as she said:

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

This question made Cao Weiguo stunned.

If they hadn't had that relationship, Cao Weiguo wouldn't have had special feelings for Bai Lijuan.

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

"I can!"

Cao Weiguo said in a gentle tone: "As long as I'm holding you, I will care for you and cherish you, treating you as my other half."

The sweet words made Bai Lijuan's heart warm. She was already twenty-seven years old this year, but she had become 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 any of them.

It wasn't that her standards were high; it was just that those men were either old, ugly, poor, or rude...

Having a relationship with 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 Lijuan blushed and punched Cao Weiguo's shoulder with her powder-puff fist.

The two of them were affectionate for a while before separating, not doing anything out of line.

After all, this was an office.

Neither Cao Weiguo nor Bai Lijuan had the guts for that.

If they were discovered, it would be irreparable!

In this era, issues of conduct were very serious problems.

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

Cao Weiguo was so eager to please Bai Lijuan.

A large part of the reason was that he was afraid Bai Lijuan would make a scene.

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

Fortunately, Bai Lijuan hadn't reported it, and no one else had discovered it.

Otherwise, he feared his life would have ended right there.

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

There was both excitement and anxiety.

Having appeased Bai Lijuan, 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, simply and directly asking about the rules for arranging jobs.

Hearing that there was business to be had, Deputy Factory Director Li's smile grew even wider.

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

Deputy Factory Director Li was an egoist!

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

Such a person was detrimental to society, but Cao Weiguo didn't hate him.

It was an exchange of interests, each getting what they needed.

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

After finishing the discussion about arranging jobs, Deputy Factory Director Li brought up Shazhu.

Shazhu had found Factory Director Yang on Sunday.

Factory Director Yang had said many good things for Shazhu.

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

Cao Weiguo sighed: "Shazhu is unruly and rebellious. Letting him off so easily won't have an educational effect, but will instead fuel his arrogant flame."

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

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

Deputy Factory Director Li said happily: "Weiguo, don't be discouraged. Even if Shazhu comes back, he won't be proud for long. Once he loses his backing, you can deal with him however you want." ===== CHAPTER 206 =====
