Siheyuan: Pioneer in anti-corruption, fighting against evil!

When Lao Zhao heard Chen Ping's agreement, he was overjoyed: "Almost? What are the specific differences?"

Chen Ping lowered his voice and said, "The main reason is that the effect is not as significant as before."

Old Zhao understood instantly and became even happier. He needed this batch of wine to give to his elders, especially his family, and he was worried that someone would have a similar experience after drinking this kind of wine. Chen Ping's words were exactly what he wanted.

"That's great. I'll tell you the truth, I'm going to give it to an elder this time. He's old, and I'm worried that something might happen to him."

Chen Ping nodded to show his understanding.

Lao Zhao asked: "When can you bring it to me?"

Chen Ping didn't want to cause too much trouble, so he said, "I have two bottles in my car. I was going to give them to Director Zhang from the Street Office after get off work. Why don't I bring them to you first, and then go home and get two bottles after get off work."

Old Zhao nodded with satisfaction. Chen Ping returned to the tricycle and pretended to take two bottles of wine from the tricycle and sent them over.

This time, Lao Zhao naturally wanted to reward Chen Ping, and gave him a handful of tickets, including several valuable wine tickets.

Chen Ping was about to leave with the tickets when he unfortunately ran into Xiao Ming who came to work early and was stopped by him.

"Chen Ping, did you see it this morning? Brother Yi has really helped a lot of people. If you don't believe him, does that count?"

Chen Ping looked at Xiao Ming helplessly, feeling even more stupid than yesterday. Everyone in the hospital knew that Yi Zhonghai was obviously unwilling to help Sister Qin and even refused to lend money.

Why is this kid so stubborn?

"That's not called helping, that's called showing off."

"What? What?

"You..." The honest Liu Ming's face flushed, staring at Old Wu opposite him, "How can you be so cold-blooded! It's not easy for Sister Qin to serve Old Lady Jia alone, and take care of three children."

"People should be friendly to each other. Sister Qin is in trouble now, and you don't help her. When you encounter the same problem one day, don't expect us to lend a helping hand." Liu Ming said indignantly.

Old Wu laughed and shook his head, saying, "It would be a blessing if you guys would stop causing me trouble. Don't expect a bunch of selfish people to care about me. Well, I'm going back to the security department. Do you want to come with me?"

Liu Ming obviously didn't want to go to the security department with Old Wu, so he quickly made way for Old Wu. Old Wu got on his tricycle and drove away.

Liu Ming shouted at Old Wu's receding back, "You are the most selfish. There is no one more selfish than you in the steel mill!"

"Liu Ming, who are you scolding?" Li Lan stood not far away and smiled softly.

She had just gone to discuss the reception with Li Huaide, and was inevitably taken advantage of by Li Huaide. Li Huaide drank too much medicinal wine and wanted to drag her to try. Li Lan was worried about being discovered, so she hurriedly fled Li Huaide's office, but also promised to do as he wished when she was free.

When she came out of Li Huaide's office, she heard Liu Ming shouting, and her curiosity was aroused.

Liu Ming didn't care about that and complained to Li Lan: "Who else could it be? Of course it's Old Wu! Li Lan, you explain it..."

So Liu Ming recounted everything that happened in the morning. He hoped to help Yi Guohai establish a good image through Li Lan.

Unexpectedly, before Liu Ming finished speaking, Li Lan interrupted him and said, "This kind of gossip has already spread in the factory. I think what Old Wu said makes sense. If Yi Guohai really wanted to help Sister Qin, he could just lend her the money. He doesn't need this little money, so why would he pretend to lend it to you and spread it?"

---

Liu Ming was not unaware of this. It was indeed more direct for Yi Guohai to lend money directly to Qin Xiaohui. But in that case, he would lose the opportunity to contact Qin Xiaohui. Liu Ming knew this little calculation, but he would never say it out loud.

"Okay, you heartless people, I'm too lazy to talk to you. This gossip can be heard throughout the steel mill. Who is spreading it?"

Li Lan responded coldly: "As if we like talking to a fool like you."

Liu Ming was so angry at Li Lan. Although he was used to being called Liu Ming, he couldn't accept the word "idiot". "Say it again!"

Li Lan fought back fearlessly: "You are stupid, so what? Don't be fooled by others all day long."

Liu Ming knew that he had no way to deal with Li Lan, so he could only say helplessly: "Why don't you understand? Uncle Yi is willing to take care of the deaf old lady and Qin Xiaohui's family. Isn't this worthy of admiration? If Uncle Yi is a bad guy, would the deaf old lady follow him? She has always treated me like her own grandson."

"That deaf old lady you mentioned, didn't she treat Yi Guohai as her godson? Between a godson and a biological grandson, who can tell who is more important?"

Liu Ming had never thought about this question, nor did he want to delve into it. Li Lan didn't mind at all, and turned back to the kitchen of the cafeteria to continue spreading the gossip.

The news spread throughout the workshop, and everyone kept laughing at Liu Ming's behavior. They surrounded the people in the courtyard and teased Yi Guohai for not helping Liu Ming put on shoes.

Xu Dafa was not to be outdone: "Do you still need shoes? Let Liu Ming accompany the widow Qin Xiaohui every day, and never think of getting married in this life. Isn't this the biggest shoe?"

This was quickly spread to every corner of the steel mill's gossip group. The workers in the workshop were talking and pointing fingers.

Yi Guohai walked into the workshop and found that his plan had failed, and he was in a very bad mood. People were pointing and criticizing him, which made him even more angry.

He was a man who valued his reputation very much, but he disdained to argue with everyone, so he had to pretend not to hear.

Qin Xiaohui learned the reason and secretly told Yi Guohai. Yi Guohai became more and more angry. Although his reputation had been damaged by Wang Zhi's arrival, he still couldn't stand the ridicule of everyone.

In particular, why do everyone think that he is willing to give money to Qin Xiaohui for free every month? This is a ** * slander. Why should he give his money to others!

In a rage, Yi Guohai threw the tool in his hand heavily to the ground, hitting the steel plate beside him with a loud noise.

Su Qing narrowed her eyes and stared at Xu Damao, and said in a light tone: "Brother Xu, my life is really not easy. Can you treat me to a meal at noon? I will repay you with something good later."

Xu Damao was about to agree when he caught a glimpse of Zhao Wei standing beside him. Thinking of how Zhao Wei always admired Su Qing, Xu Damao decided to take this opportunity to "contact" Su Qing for free.

"Sister Su, it's not that I'm heartless. I've spent a lot to help you find out the truth, but you're asking me to pay for my meals. That's too much!"

Su Qing's face changed, and she secretly cursed Xu Damao for being ruthless and ungrateful: "Didn't we agree that I would give you a benefit? Besides, if my son had an easier life, he wouldn't come to you for help."

Xu Damao approached Su Qing and lowered his voice and said, "Sister Su, didn't Uncle Li give you thirty yuan this morning? Are you playing tricks on me by pretending to be pitiful? This won't work. I don't agree."
