Chapter 820

Red Star Rolling Mill

The week-long comprehensive audit ended, and the ministry's investigators returned disappointed. Li Li Huaide and the others survived the ordeal without incident. After sending off the investigators, they immediately set up a banquet at the guesthouse to thank Cao Cao Weiguo for his righteous help.

After a bout of gluttony, Cao Cao Weiguo got dead drunk and was eventually sent home by Song Ying and Song Hu, which made Song Song Yulan very annoyed, and she pinched Cao Cao Weiguo several times.

The next day, Cao Cao Zhiqiang took his introduction letter and successfully joined the procurement section, making the neighbors of the Red Star Sihe Academy green with envy. Seeing Shazhu even shouted that he wanted to report Cao Cao Weiguo for abusing his power and using privileges to arrange jobs for relatives, which scared Jin Jin Lian into kicking Seeing Shazhu hard.

Jin Jin Lian said anxiously: "Are you crazy? If this reaches Cao Cao Weiguo's ears, do you still want to stay at the rolling mill?"

Yi Zhang Dama also nervously advised from the side: "Sha Zhuzi, you can't be foolish. Cao Cao Weiguo has great abilities, and the leaders of your factory are in cahoots with him. You can't fight him; you must not look for trouble where there is none."

Jin Jin Lian said: "Exactly. Cao Cao Weiguo can solve jobs for his relatives; that's his ability. How does it concern you? Don't look for trouble, or you'll end up offending everyone and getting nothing."

Yi Yi Zhonghai slammed the table with a dark face: "Bold and lawless! This Cao Cao Weiguo treats the Red Star Rolling Mill like his family's vegetable garden. Will his family's dog also go to the rolling mill to watch the gate and hold an iron rice bowl in the future?"

Deaf Old Lady sighed: "Yi Zhonghai, Cao Cao Weiguo and the rolling mill's affairs have nothing to do with you, so don't worry about it blindly. Let Cao Cao Weiguo toss as he pleases; God will keep a record of it, and sooner or later, he will settle the score with him. You just need to take care of your own business now; you must never provoke that Cao Cao Weiguo. He is an official, and you are a commoner; commoners don't fight with officials."

Seeing Shazhu said with anger filling his chest: "Then just watch Cao Cao Weiguo do whatever he wants? It's a new society now, and the people are the masters. His bureaucratic style should be extinguished, and he should be judged by the people."

Jin Jin Lian kicked Seeing Shazhu again: "What nonsense are you spouting? Have you eaten too much lard lately? Are you full and bored? Are you stupid? Cao Cao Weiguo hasn't eaten your family's food or grabbed your family's grain. He's helping his relatives with his own ability; what does it have to do with you? Why are you yelling? Who do you think you are? Are you the factory director or the director? You're just a dung-scooper. If these words are heard by Cao Cao Weiguo, do you believe you won't even be able to keep your dung-scooping job? You won't even have a place to cry when you regret it. I'm telling you, if you lose your job, my mother will never agree to our marriage. You figure it out yourself; don't go out and cause trouble without a brain."

"Bang!"

"Ah ah ah... I'm so angry!"

Jin Jin Lian's words made Seeing Shazhu feel suffocated, as if a big rock was blocking his chest, almost killing him. In his anger, he slammed the table and screamed like a madman.

Jin Jin Lian looked at the foolish Seeing Shazhu with disdain. You have no ability yourself, yet you are jealous of others. What are you pretending to be a big wolf for? If you had the ability, you would arrange for your relatives to hold an iron rice bowl too. If you had the ability, you would make Cao Cao Weiguo bow and scrape to you. Why are you yelling here? Incompetent barking, losing face.

Looking at the mad Seeing Shazhu, and then comparing him to Cao Cao Weiguo, whom she had only met a few times, it was like heaven and earth, a difference of a hundred thousand miles. If she could sleep in the same bed as Cao Cao Weiguo, how good would that be? Then she could also arrange an iron rice bowl for her younger brother, and her family would never have to worry about food and drink again, and she wouldn't have to endure this idiot Seeing Shazhu anymore.

Seeing Shazhu was not only useless but also unhygienic, sloppy, and wouldn't take a bath for ten days or half a month. He was full of sweat and urine smell, and you had to hold your breath from far away; one breath could suffocate someone.

If it weren't for using Seeing Shazhu to take private jobs to make money to subsidize the family, Jin Jin Lian would rather go on a date with Xu Xu Damao than say a word to Seeing Shazhu.

Although they were caught in the act by Seeing Shazhu last time, Jin Jin Lian and Xu Xu Damao still secretly associated, occasionally going out to eat and stroll in the park together. Holding hands, kissing—except for not sleeping together, they had done everything they could... If Jin Jin Lian didn't have high aspirations and look down on the down-and-out Xu Xu Damao, they would probably already be sleeping in the same bed.

Seeing Shazhu didn't know that his head was already green like a prairie, and he was still single-mindedly thinking about marrying Jin Jin Lian, working hard to take private jobs, holding his breath to save for the bride price, and looking forward to the beautiful life of a wife, children, and a warm bed.

Jin Jin Lian scolded with a cold face: "Alright, stop yelling. Save your energy for cooking for the Sun family; cook the dishes better so you can take more private jobs in the future. Otherwise, when will you save enough for the bride price? I don't want to keep waiting."

Seeing Shazhu, who had already treated Jin Jin Lian as his wife, immediately wilted, like a frost-bitten eggplant, becoming listless: "I know, I will work hard to save money."

Jin Jin Lian snorted coldly: "What's the use of just knowing? You have to take actual action. I'm telling you, you can't show off your broken style outside anymore. Put away your stinking temper and control your stinking mouth. If you offend the host again, don't think about taking jobs in the future. If I hadn't lowered myself to apologize to them, would the host have spared you?"

Seeing Shazhu was used to being self-righteous. Relying on his cooking skills, he loved to show off when taking private jobs. He would sit by the stove, drinking tea and smoking, directing Ma Hua and Fatty to cook. When the host saw this and said a few words, he would explode on the spot, cursing the host from head to toe.

How could the host, who spent money, endure this anger? They argued with Seeing Shazhu on the spot, and when the argument got heated, they started fighting. During the fight, they knocked over the steamer, and more than a dozen steamed bowls were overturned.

Steamed bowls were a famous dish with both color and flavor, made with pork, dried beans, garlic sprouts, soy sauce, sesame oil, etc. In this era, it was a rare finale dish.

More than a dozen steamed bowls were overturned, and the host suffered heavy losses, which made the host furious. A group of relatives rushed up and almost beat Seeing Shazhu to death.

Fortunately, Jin Jin Lian was present at the time, constantly apologizing to the host and paying money to calm everyone's anger. Otherwise, Seeing Shazhu would either be in the crematorium or the hospital now.

After being scolded by Jin Jin Lian, Seeing Shazhu lowered his head in shame, making Yi Yi Zhonghai and the Deaf Old Lady shake their heads. With this useless look, even if he married Jin Jin Lian, he would still be henpecked. When Jin Jin Lian manages the family, would they, the godparents, still be able to benefit?

Sigh!

Regretting that I was blind at the beginning and chose such a useless thing as Seeing Shazhu. It would be better if he were as ambitious and capable as Xu Xu Damao. At the very least, Xu Xu Damao can be the master of the house and won't be manipulated by a woman to the point of not daring to fart.
