Chapter 701

Fatty admitted his mistake actively with a timid face.

Cao Weiguo said with a fake smile:

"Don't!"

"You didn't do anything wrong!"

"It's my fault!"

"I shouldn't have delayed you from making big money."

"However, my greatest strength is that I can correct my mistakes."

"From now on, I will never hinder your path to wealth again."

"You can let go and do a big job."

Fatty's face turned pale as he widened his eyes:

"Director! What do you mean by that?"

Cao Weiguo sneered: "It means I'm no longer your leader."

"I've already reported your situation to Factory Director Li."

"Given that our staff cafeteria is too small to hold a big Buddha like you,"

"Factory Director Li has specifically approved your transfer out of the staff cafeteria."

"You should go report to the casting workshop now."

"What!"

Hearing that he had been transferred to the casting workshop,

Fatty was stunned.

The work in the casting workshop was not only tiring but also very dangerous.

In the casting workshop, one had to deal with molding sand all day long.

And also hold the molten iron ladle, scoop molten iron...

Once molten iron splashed on you, even just a little bit, it was no joke.

Thinking about having to do that tiring, bitter, dirty, and dangerous work,

Fatty felt like he had fallen from heaven into hell.

"Pack up and go report quickly."

"Director Ding Yizhen of the casting workshop is waiting for a great talent like you!"

"You should have heard of his temper."

"Don't keep Director Ding waiting too long."

"Cao Weiguo, you're ruthless!"

"The wheel of fortune turns, we'll see!"

An arm couldn't twist a thigh.

Fatty being kicked out of the cafeteria was a foregone conclusion.

However, before leaving, Fatty showed a rare bit of masculinity.

He took off his apron, threw it on the table, and left the cafeteria after leaving a harsh threat.

Cao Weiguo looked at Fatty's back and sneered disdainfully:

"You little punk! We'll see?"

"Are you worthy?"

The people in the cafeteria saw Fatty being kicked out.

Everyone became extra careful.

Especially Fatty's fellow apprentices.

They kept their heads down and tails tucked, afraid of being implicated.

Cao Weiguo ignored them.

He found Li Dong, Ma Liang, and others to arrange some work.

Then he took the introduction letter and swaggered out of the factory area.

Under the guise of going out for procurement, he ran out to have a secret meeting with Yu Li.

Yu Li had successfully started her job as a salesperson at the supply and marketing cooperative.

After her job was settled, she moved out of the Yu family home.

She rented a room near her workplace.

"Comrade! Help me get a pack of Da Qianmen!"

Cao Weiguo walked into the supply and marketing cooperative and headed straight for the counter where Yu Li was.

"Ticket!"

Yu Li smiled, reaching out her hand prettily.

"Here!"

Cao Weiguo smiled and took out the ticket and money.

Yu Li put away the money and ticket, turned around, and took a pack of Da Qianmen.

"Comrade, here's your cigarette!"

Cao Weiguo took the Da Qianmen from Yu Li's hand.

He held the cigarette and tapped the back of the pack.

"Thank you, Comrade!"

Receiving the secret signal they had agreed upon,

Yu Li's heart couldn't help but race.

Cao Weiguo left the supply and marketing cooperative as if nothing had happened.

He rode his bicycle straight to Yu Li's residence.

The room Yu Li rented was located in Lingjing Hutong, in a two-courtyard Sihe Academy.

The owner was a typical old Beijing aunt whose husband's ancestors were Bannermen who lived off the state.

Nowadays, she worked as a kitchen helper in a public-private partnership restaurant, and life was tight.

This two-courtyard Sihe Academy was her husband's ancestral property.

Although houses in this era were not allowed to be bought or sold, they could be rented.

From the late 1950s to the 1960s, the state launched a "rented housing" movement, where surplus private houses were temporarily managed and rented out by the state, and the owners were given a certain amount of rent.

Yu Li rented a room in the courtyard through her workplace and the neighborhood office.

The monthly rent was three yuan, and her workplace provided a housing allowance.

After becoming a regular employee, as long as she met the conditions, her workplace would also allocate housing.

Of course, as for what conditions, when it would be allocated, and what kind of house...

Back to the topic.

The room Yu Li rented was a guest room in the second courtyard.

Cao Weiguo arrived at the place familiarly.

The owner's husband had passed away, and her son worked in the Great Northern Wilderness.

Now, only the owner and Yu Li lived in the courtyard.

At this time, the aunt was at work.

The courtyard was empty and unusually quiet.

As for why the main gate wasn't locked.

How should I put it!

The social customs in this era were simple...

People were good.

Thieves were few.

Families were poor.

Even if a thief came, they would have to leave crying.

"You guy!"

"Making me ask for leave again!" ===== CHAPTER 703 =====
