Chapter 755: Position is Important

In the early morning, a faint mist drifted slowly, and leaves fell gracefully in the chill of autumn.

Cao Cao Weiguo got up, dressed, and washed. Song Song Yulan was too tired to get up, lying under the covers and complaining coquettishly: "It’s all your fault. I have no strength left, and my bones feel like they’ve fallen apart."

Cao Cao Weiguo held Song Song Yulan’s hand, leaned over, and kissed her rosy cheek: "It’s my fault, my good wife. Who knew that medicine would be so potent? Just rest at home today; I’ll ask for leave for you at the factory, and I’ll stew some pig trotters for you when I get back tonight."

Sigh!

Yesterday, he had signed in and received a pill of Eighteen-Flavor Rehmannia. After Cao Cao Weiguo ate it, he felt heat surging through his whole body, as if he were burning, with endless strength and a skyrocketing demand for that sort of thing...

This had been hard on Song Song Yulan, keeping her tossing and turning for most of the night.

"Morning, Sister Juan."

Carrying a washbasin out of the room, he ran into Song Cousin Yujuan, who was holding a broom.

"Morning."

Seeing Cao Cao Weiguo, Song Cousin Yujuan couldn't help but blush deeply, burying her head low, her hair hanging down, her ears turning red; she looked as shy as a child.

Seeing this, Cao Cao Weiguo was stunned for a moment, and a sentence suddenly popped into his mind.

A woman bows her head and cannot see her own toes!

Cao Cao Weiguo suppressed the palpitations in his heart and asked suspiciously, "Sister Juan, what’s wrong with you?"

"Ah, I’m fine. I’ve already made breakfast; go eat quickly. I’m going to sweep the courtyard."

Song Cousin Yujuan shook her head, her face bright red, and then left as if fleeing.

"What’s going on?"

Cao Cao Weiguo shook his head, confused, and carried the basin to the faucet to get water.

Hiding behind a poplar tree, Song Cousin Yujuan’s heart was pounding. She stole a glance at Cao Cao Weiguo, and her face felt like it was on fire. Her mind uncontrollably replayed the scene from last night.

Last night, she might have drunk too much water and got up in the middle of the night to use the restroom. Who would have thought that in the courtyard, she saw the lights still on in Cao Cao Weiguo and Song Song Yulan’s bedroom? Through the curtains, she could see two figures entangled together, the figures moving up and down... and along with the movements came continuous, high-pitched sounds. Just hearing those sounds made one blush and feel weak in the legs.

Song Cousin Yujuan was married and an experienced woman; she knew what those sounds were, but these sounds were vastly different, making her heart chaotic and her body burning from the inside out.

Her feet seemed rooted to the ground; she stood in the courtyard, listening to those sounds without moving.

Ten minutes!

Twenty minutes!

Thirty minutes!

The sounds rose and fell, undulating, lingering, and endless... A full hour passed, and the sounds had become somewhat hoarse but still continued...

This is too long!

Song Yulan is truly happy!

Recalling her own marriage, not only was life difficult, but their intimate life was also hard to speak of.

Every night, it would end hastily in three or five minutes.

At first, she thought that was normal, but during the busy farming season, she heard the women chatting and realized it wasn't normal. What normal man would be done after one in-and-out?

But Cao Cao Weiguo?

Once he started, it would last for most of the night!

How could anyone stand that!

She returned to her room with weak legs, and even lying in bed, the sounds of movement and the lingering noises kept appearing in her mind. Gradually, she fell asleep, and in her dreams, she...

When she got up the next day, she was so ashamed she wanted to crawl into a crack in the ground. She hurriedly changed the sheets and quilt covers, so much so that every time she saw Cao Cao Weiguo, her heart would race, and the inescapable nightmare in her mind would resurface.

Cao Cao Weiguo left for work, and only then did Song Cousin Yujuan breathe a sigh of relief. She patted her racing heart and hurriedly returned to her room to take out the changed sheets and quilt covers, secretly putting them into a washbasin to scrub.

Arriving at the Red Star Rolling Mill, Cao Cao Weiguo first brewed a cup of Biluochun tea, then took the latest issue of the newspaper and sat on the sofa, leisurely following current events, keeping up with the times, and insisting on not falling behind. Just before lunch, Cao Cao Weiguo received a phone call, put down the newspaper, and walked into Vice Factory Manager Nie’s office.

Vice Factory Manager Nie pointed to the sofa: "Sit. Cao Weiguo, I attended a meeting at the Ministry yesterday, and the higher-ups conveyed some new instructions, one of which is closely related to your work. Nowadays, the whole country is criticizing the ideology of the bourgeoisie and all exploiting classes, reforming all superstructure that does not adapt to the socialist economic base, consolidating and developing socialism... safeguarding the interests of the state and the people. This movement is bottom-up and requires the participation of the broad masses and the broad proletariat, especially our working class, who are the masters of the country and the main force of the revolution... Therefore, logistics work during the movement is crucial. Logistics departments of all units must hold firm to their positions, fully guarantee logistics services, ensure the workers have no worries, strengthen unity among comrades, and not do anything detrimental to unity... Cao Weiguo, your position is very important. I don't know how many eyes are watching you; you must be more cautious and diligent in your actions."

Listening to Vice Factory Manager Nie’s earnest teachings, Cao Cao Weiguo felt no ripples in his heart. Regarding logistics work, he considered himself to have performed his duties faithfully, never damaging the factory’s interests in the slightest, and even subsidizing quite a bit from his own pocket. Otherwise, looking across all of Jingcheng, how many units could guarantee meat every week?

Don't know how many eyes are watching me?

Cao Cao Weiguo secretly despised him. Who didn't know that the second uncle of Gao Zhiyuan, the section chief of the Fifth Workshop, had entered the Ministry to work? He felt his backbone had stiffened and set his sights on the position of Logistics Department Chief. He would run to your house for no reason; those who knew thought he was giving you gifts, and those who didn't thought he was having an affair with your wife.

Even with a belly full of complaints, Cao Cao Weiguo was very polite on the surface: "Please rest assured, leader. I guarantee I will do the logistics work well and serve the people and comrades wholeheartedly."

Factory Manager Li glanced at the document, his face gloomy as he sneered: "This Nie Nie Chengfeng is showing off to us. Hmph, he really thinks that by hugging the thigh of a Ministry leader, he can arm-wrestle with me! A grasshopper trying to carry a big tree—overestimating his own strength. Cao Weiguo, don't pay attention to him. Just let him jump around; I want to see what kind of waves he can stir up."

Cao Cao Weiguo offered a compliment: "Leader, you have great spirit. My admiration for you is like the water of the Yellow River, endless and continuous. I believe that under your leadership, the Red Star Rolling Mill will surely become an advanced collective and a benchmark for all production units in Jingcheng."

Li Li Huaide laughed heartily, his face glowing: "Hahaha, Cao Weiguo, you flatter me. I’m just doing the duty of a leader. I’m just a servant of the people, wanting to contribute a meager amount of strength to the country’s prosperity and development."

Cao Cao Weiguo said with full reverence: "I want to learn from you, leader. In future work, I hope you will provide more guidance."

Li Li Huaide laughed: "Cao Weiguo, I highly approve of your work ability and attitude. You handled the task assigned by Director Wen not long ago very well. Director Wen praised you quite a bit. Keep working hard, maintain it, and your future will be limitless."

Cao Cao Weiguo said excitedly: "It’s all thanks to your cultivation, leader!"
