Chapter 72: This is definitely hooliganism—quick, cuff him!

Huh?

Everyone was a bit dazed.

These factory leaders are rarely seen usually.

Besides, the Forging Bureau even has a cadres' canteen inside.

These people usually eat at the cadres' small canteen, where the dishes are far more refined than what ordinary workers get here, and they even have meat every meal.

These people normally would never come here.

While everyone looked dazed, those leaders also spotted Lu Yuan.

Upon seeing Lu Yuan, the leaders' eyes lit up, and they quickly walked over to him.

Liu Jie and her group were a bit dazed.

This Lu Yuan……could it be that he's referring to these people??

After the leaders arrived, they first greeted Liu Jie, saying:

"Hey Xiao Liu, you're eating."

Liu Jie raised her head, glanced at those leaders, and nodded somewhat dazedly.

The factory director, deputy factory director, production director, and discipline director of Bing Jia Chang—all these various named big leaders—had all shown up.

After greeting Liu Jie, they then came over to Lu Yuan.

After they arrived, they sat opposite Lu Yuan and Su Liyan, smiling.

"Hey Xiao Lu, you're holding a wedding banquet—why didn't you invite us? You're not being proper about this."

Lu Yuan had long expected this kind of thing from them, and he immediately grinned.

"It's not that I was afraid you leaders were busy, so I didn't invite you."

Immediately, the factory director Li of Bing Jia Chang laughed and said:

"Tomorrow's Sunday—what's there to be busy about? Even if you were busy, you wouldn't miss a meal."

Lu Yuan nodded solemnly, then said somewhat awkwardly:

"But, Director… the tables for the banquet are already set; I just invited the coworkers, and there's no room left."

The leaders blinked, looking at each other, and then the factory director Li raised his eyebrows and said:

"Why not just add another table?"

Lu Yuan again put on a look of difficulty and said:

"Director, you don't know—our banquet isn't actually hosted by my family; it's funded by the neighbors of our Siheyuan. The food and liquor costs aren't paid by my family."

"If we suddenly add another table… the extra cost for that table of food and drink…"

Instantly, the leaders understood what he meant.

The next second, the factory director Li curled his lips and said:

"Hey, I thought it was something else—we're not refusing to give you a gift; we'll just add another table. If that's not enough, we'll give a bit more in gifts—problem solved."

"We're really not after your food; we just want to share in the joy."

The surrounding deputy factory directors and directors also nodded repeatedly and said:

"Yeah, yeah—if we just give a bit more in gifts, that'll work."

Lu Yuan looked at those leaders and wanted to laugh inside, thinking, 'You're not after the joy; you really just want to go drink with Director Xu.'

But this is exactly what Lu Yuan wants; otherwise, why would he go to all the trouble to build that hand‑cranked thresher?

Finally, Lu Yuan pretended to be troubled and nodded.

"Alright, since a few big leaders have come, it's giving face; since they're giving face, I definitely have to accommodate them."

Hearing this, those few leaders finally showed satisfied smiles and nodded.

"You little brat, you're clearly capable and promising—this is settled; tomorrow we're coming to your house for the wedding wine!"

Having said that, the leaders then happily left.

After the leaders left, Liu Jie, the group of female workers, and Su Liyan all stared at Lu Yuan, looking dazed.

No……

What does this even mean??

I just can't figure it out at all??

How come the big leaders from the factory are rushing and hurrying to go to Lu Yuan's house for the banquet??

"Lu Yuan!! What the heck is going on!!"

Immediately, a female worker, dazed, hurriedly spoke up to ask:

But Lu Yuan just gave a proud smile and said:

"It's a secret—you'll find out soon."

If I mentioned Director Xu, these people would surely ask why Director Xu wants to come to my house for the banquet.

Explaining why Director Xu is coming would then require explaining the hand‑cranked thresher, and explaining that would lead to……

Anyway, it's just a hassle.

We're eating—why say all that?

Meanwhile, the female workers, looking at Lu Yuan like that, couldn't help but roll their eyes and say:

"Hey, look at your attitude—we don't even want to know anymore!"

Lu Yuan gave a hehe laugh, then didn't bother talking to them, but looked off to the side.

At that moment he saw his wife looking at him with a face full of admiration.

Instantly, Lu Yuan also felt a little proud and said:

"How about it, isn't your man awesome?"

Su Liyan, like a chick pecking at grain, kept nodding with an admiring look and said:

"Brother, you're amazing~"

Then Lu Yuan directly opened his mouth and said:

"Then why don't you feed your man a bite of vegetables."

Su Liyan blinked, then quickly gave her man a bite of vegetables with a happy smile, feeding it into Lu Yuan's mouth.

The group of female workers led by Sister Liu beside them couldn't help but express disdain and say:

"Ew~~ You two are so mushy!!"

"Exactly, it's unsanitary!"

"Unsanitary?"

Lu Yuan immediately raised his eyebrows and said:

"Is it unsanitary for me to eat a bite of vegetables with my wife's chopsticks?"

"My wife's saliva is sweet."

At once a female worker couldn't hold back, immediately pouting and saying:

"Pfft, whose saliva is sweet!"

Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows, deadpan, and said:

"You haven't even tried it, how do you know it's not sweet?"

The next second, Lu Yuan suddenly turned and kissed Su Liyan, then looked at the dumbfounded group of female workers and seriously nodded, saying:

"See, it's sweet."

At this moment, Su Liyan's face was flushed with shyness, and she dared not lift her head to look at anyone.

Those female workers, meanwhile, made sounds of disdain while waving their hands, no longer looking at Lu Yuan.

On the surface, everyone seemed to be full of disdain.

But deep down, they actually felt that Lu Yuan was really different from other men...

He can talk, he can be funny, and he even dares to kiss his wife in public.

Although it's a bit embarrassing, it still feels sweet...

Meanwhile, the male workers queuing for meals in the distance couldn't help but watch this scene.

Usually everyone likes to sneak glances at Su Liyan during meal times.

Although they know Su Liyan is married, they just can't help wanting to turn and look.

Su Liyan is so pretty; taking an extra look means you'll get to eat an extra bite later.

But seeing this scene today...

"Holy shit!! This guy is shameless, kissing in public—this absolutely constitutes hooliganism, damn it, hurry up and cuff him!!"

One person angrily cursed.

Meanwhile, the person beside him grabbed the agitated individual and helplessly said:

"Oh give it a rest—Su Liyan is his wife, kissing his own wife isn't hooliganism, hurry up and get your meal!!"
