~5 min read 827 words

It made him feel a bit jealous, pondering how to let his own family share in the benefits.

He couldn't lower his face to curry favor with Cao Weiguo.

But Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu could.

If the sons gained benefits, naturally they couldn't forget to show filial piety to their father.

Returning to the office, he stayed leisurely until getting off work.

Cao Weiguo waited for Bai Lijuan halfway.

"Sister Bai!"

Hearing Cao Weiguo call her, Bai Lijuan walked over, blushing.

"Here!"

Immediately after, Cao Weiguo stretched out his left hand from behind his back.

Two large carp came into view.

"Thank you!"

Bai Lijuan happily took the two large fish, which were heavy and had weight.

"Go to my house, I'll make braised fish for you."

Carrying the fish, Bai Lijuan said in a low voice, blushing.

Having not been intimate for a few days, she was a bit wanting.

Cao Weiguo said happily: "Alright, I'll go and taste your cooking."

The two chatted and laughed as they returned to Bai Lijuan's residence together.

The neighbors in the courtyard stared at the two large carp with jealousy.

"Is that Bai Lijuan's object?"

"He looks quite good!"

"It's still better to be pretty."

"Those two big fish must be seven or eight jin!"

"It must have been bought by her object; Bai Lijuan never bought meat before!"

Bai Lijuan moved here after working at the steel rolling factory.

She lived a quiet life on weekdays and didn't have much contact with the old residents in the courtyard.

But over time, the residents knew a little about Bai Lijuan's situation.

Because Bai Lijuan is pretty and has a good job, many people introduced objects to her.

It's just that Bai Lijuan has high standards and didn't take a fancy to any of them.

Arriving at the residence, Bai Lijuan wanted to cook, but was interrupted by Cao Weiguo.

Disturbed, she simply dropped the kitchen knife and fought her way to the bedroom.

After being satisfied, Cao Weiguo didn't stay for dinner.

After lingering for a while, he rode his bike and left.

Just as he entered the courtyard, the Eldest Uncle pulled Cao Weiguo into his home.

He stir-fried four dishes and brought out good wine to treat him.

After the meal, he handed Cao Weiguo a thick envelope.

The Eldest Uncle said solemnly: "Weiguo, please put more effort into Jiecheng's job."

Cao Weiguo said with a red face: "Don't worry, Eldest Uncle, I will definitely do my best to handle this matter."

Getting Cao Weiguo's reply, Yan Jiecheng was overjoyed.

Returning home full of the smell of alcohol, Song Yulan said unhappily: "You went out drinking again."

Cao Weiguo said with a smile: "I was stopped by the Eldest Uncle as soon as I entered the courtyard; this wine was drunk at his house."

Song Yulan pointed to the food on the table: "Then what about these?"

Cao Weiguo said: "Eat them as breakfast tomorrow."

Just as he said this, Liu Guangtian ran over to invite Cao Weiguo to drink.

Cao Weiguo shook his head quickly: "I can't drink anymore, another day, let's drink another day."

Liu Guangtian returned home disappointed, and the Second Uncle asked with a cold face:

"You waste, how come you came back by yourself?"

Liu Guangtian said depressedly: "Cao Weiguo already drank at the Eldest Uncle's house."

The Second Aunt was surprised: "I said why would the Eldest Aunt be willing to stir-fry four dishes; it turns out she was treating Cao Weiguo to dinner!"

The Second Uncle frowned: "The sun rose from the west? Yan Lao Xi is willing to treat guests to dinner?"

The Second Aunt snorted coldly: "When have you ever seen Yan Lao Xi be generous? This meal definitely wasn't eaten for free; nine times out of ten, it was for Yan Jiecheng's job."

Yan Jiecheng has been working as a temporary worker since graduation; this is something everyone in the courtyard knows.

The Second Uncle said jealously: "No wonder! This Yan Lao Xi is good at currying favor, finding a way through Cao Weiguo."

He has always wanted to be a leader, but unfortunately, his luck is bad.

Mixing until now, he is just a worker.

On the contrary, Cao Weiguo, a younger generation, has come from behind.

Liu Guangtian asked: "Dad, didn't you take the cured meat to give as a gift? How was it?"

The Second Uncle said unhappily: "How could it be that easy? If you could become a leader just by relying on a little cured meat, then this leader would be too worthless."

The Second Aunt sighed: "Then wouldn't that cured meat be wasted!"

Thinking of the red and bright cured meat, the Second Aunt couldn't help but feel greedy and heartbroken.

The Second Uncle said with a straight face: "A woman's view, cured meat is a stepping stone; if you don't knock on the door, how can you move up."
