Siheyuan: After traveling through time, who can still be an honest person?

"Silly Zhu, I don't want to waste time talking to you. Get busy right now. I'll come back to check later. If there's any problem, I'll hold you responsible."

The canteen director was contradicted by Sha Zhu in public and was too embarrassed to stay. He said a few polite words and left angrily.

Sha Zhu walked slowly to the prepared ingredients, checked them carefully, then turned to look at a middle-aged chef.

"Master Chen, you and Ma Hua will come and help me later."

"Okay." The middle-aged chef who was steaming buns agreed casually.

"Master, why do you look unwell? Are you sick?" Ma Hua walked over and asked.

Liu Lan, who was standing by, looked at him carefully and suddenly said with a sly smile, "Silly Zhu, you weren't beaten up by that Cao Yue from your courtyard again, were you?"

"Bullshit, if they have the guts, I...I..."

Sha Zhu retorted subconsciously, but when he thought about how he was slapped in the face the last time he lied, and how Liu Lan laughed at him for a long time afterwards, he felt completely embarrassed.

This time he was afraid of repeating the same mistake, so he said only two sentences and couldn't continue.

When Liu Lan saw Sha Zhu's expression, she immediately knew that she had guessed right and was extremely happy.

"Silly Zhu, I guessed it right, didn't I? I was wondering why you walked so strangely today, like an old lady with bound feet. Turns out you got beaten."

Sha Zhu knew that the more he quarreled with Liu Lan, the more excited she would become, so he simply ignored her.

Liu Lan didn't intend to let Sha Zhu go. She looked at Sha Zhu and said jokingly:

"Shazhu, let me tell you, the leader who came today is very important. Deputy Director Li takes it very seriously. If you make the slightest mistake, no one can save you."

"If you want to blame someone, blame Cao Yue. He knew that the factory was going to entertain important leaders today, but he still beat me up. Do you think he did it on purpose?"

"Liu Lan, I heard that Deputy Director Li was in charge of receiving the leaders this time. It seems that Cao Yue has ulterior motives for doing this."

Sha Zhu obviously wanted Liu Lan to pass the message to Deputy Director Li, and then let Deputy Director Li deal with Cao Yue.

Liu Lan was not stupid. She sneered and said, "Silly Zhu, do you think I have no brains? You want to use me as a gun? No way."

The voice just fell.

Speak of the devil, and he will appear. Deputy Director Li entered the kitchen.

"Master He, it's already time, why haven't you started yet?" Deputy Director Li said seriously.

When Sha Zhu saw the real boss coming, he immediately complained: "Director Li, I was maliciously beaten. I'm afraid I can't cook today."

"What? Are you kidding me? The leaders are here." Deputy Director Li said anxiously.

Sha Zhu directly opened his cotton coat and sighed heavily:

"Director Li, you are a respected factory leader. You are the only one making fun of us. How dare we talk nonsense with you? If you don't believe me, just watch for yourself."

Deputy Director Li looked down and saw that there was indeed a large black bruise on Sha Zhu's lower abdomen.

"Hiss~" Liu Lan came over and took a breath, then laughed with gloating, "Silly Zhu, you were beaten so badly."

Deputy Director Li glanced at Liu Lan, telling her to shut up, and said angrily: "Master He, who did it? Tell me, I will punish him. This is simply lawless!"

"It's Cao Yue, the officer of the security department. He lives in the same courtyard as me. Director, you don't know that this guy is mean and mean. Yesterday, he bullied an old lady in the courtyard for no reason. I stepped forward to stop him with good intentions, but he beat me up."

Sha Zhu was saying bad things about Cao Yue, but he didn't notice that when Deputy Director Li heard Cao Yue's name, the anger on his face disappeared, and instead he stared at him with suspicion.

"Director Li, why are you looking at me like that..." Sha Zhu finally realized something was wrong.

Deputy Factory Director Li said coldly, "Shazhu, don't put the blame on others."

"I know Comrade Cao Yue well. He is honest and sincere. Would he beat someone up for no reason?"

"You must have provoked him first, and he couldn't stand it anymore, so he taught you a lesson."

"I didn't expect that you still don't repent now. You are trying to sow discord in front of me and confuse right and wrong. You need to reflect on yourself."

"I'm warning you, if anything goes wrong at today's banquet, I won't let you off easily!"

Deputy Director Li finally gave Sha Zhu a warning look and turned to leave the kitchen.

Shazhu was completely confused and didn't know why Deputy Director Li changed his expression so quickly.

"Shazhu, you are in trouble. I think you will have to go to the workshop to screw screws tomorrow." Liu Lan said with a smile.

"What's going on?"

Sha Zhu didn't want to argue, so he looked at Liu Lan and asked.

"Silly Zhu, silly Zhu, you are really stupid."

Liu Lanwu explained: "Don't you know? It was Deputy Director Li who approved a bicycle ticket for Cao Yue last week."

"Just think about how valuable bicycle tickets are! How many people can only watch helplessly!"

"Deputy Director Li thinks highly of Cao Yue, yet you speak ill of him in front of him and stir up trouble. Aren't you asking for trouble?"

Deputy Director Li is very tight-lipped. Although he has an affair with Liu Lan, he did not tell her about Cao Yue's background.

Liu Lan thought that Deputy Director Li wanted to win over Cao Yue and use him for his own purposes.

Sha Zhu couldn't believe it: "Deputy Director Li thinks highly of Cao Yue? What ability does that guy have that's worth winning over?"

"Who said no!" Liu Lan said with a smile: "I don't know about other things, but the fact that I defeated you shows that I am really capable."

"I..." Sha Zhu's face immediately turned red.

……

At noon, Cao Yue went to the canteen to get steamed buns.

Although Sha Zhu was not seen getting food from the window today, Cao Yue still ordered ten steamed buns.

Liu Lan filled a steamed bun for Cao Yue and said earnestly, "Secretary Cao, you can't just eat steamed buns every day. You need to eat more vegetables to get more nutrition."

Cao Yue smiled and shook his head without explaining anything.

Liu Lan was mesmerized by Cao Yue's brilliant and handsome smile, and asked excitedly, "Secretary Cao, I heard that you beat up Sha Zhu again."

"You have to be careful. Today, Sha Zhu tried to put up a fuss with you in front of Deputy Director Li, trying to sow discord between you and your boss."

"Thanks to Deputy Director Li's keen observation and my presence to explain for you, otherwise Sha Zhu would have succeeded."

Cao Yue now does have a huge killing power on women.

He has a handsome and tall appearance, a sunny and elegant temperament, and a very fair complexion.

Liu Lan looked at him unscrupulously, with stars in her eyes.

Only by having a relationship with a man like Cao Yue can one’s life as a woman be worthwhile.

Unfortunately, she is not Cao Yue's type.

Moreover, Cao Yue knew the relationship between Liu Lan and Deputy Director Li and did not want to have anything to do with her. After packing the steamed buns, he hurriedly left the cafeteria.

After getting off work in the evening, Cao Yue rode his bicycle directly to the grocery store and bought half a pound of fruit candy and half a pound of White Rabbit milk candy.

Then he entered an empty alley, and when he came out a while later, there was a sack on the back seat of the bicycle.

Ten minutes later, Cao Yue rode his bicycle to a courtyard.

Ma Weijun lives here.

As soon as Cao Yue entered the room, his master's wife Wen Qing stared at him.

"Are you Xiao Yue?"

Wen Qing's eyes widened. She really couldn't believe that the skinny and introverted boy half a year ago had become so handsome.

Ma Weijun laughed: "I thought you would be shocked if we met, what's wrong, don't you recognize me?"

Cao Yue smiled and said, "Master's Wife, I am Cao Yue."

Wen Qing still felt incredible: "Xiao Yue, what on earth did you eat? I haven't seen you for half a year. Not only have you become more handsome, your skin has become whiter, and you are taller. Tsk tsk, if I had known you would become like this, I would have told you about my sister."

"You are just messing around, it's ridiculous!"

Ma Weijun laughed and scolded: "You are his master's wife. According to seniority, the sister-in-law is his aunt. There is a big generation difference."

Wen Qing smiled and said, "That's not a big deal. The two of us are not related by blood. We can each discuss our own affairs. It would be better if we can become closer relatives."

Ma Weijun saw that his wife didn't seem to be joking, so he quickly stopped her: "Don't do anything stupid, Cao Yue is already engaged."

"I know he and Su Rong were engaged as children."

Wen Qing smiled and said, "But I remember Xiao Yue didn't seem to like this marriage. If he and Su Rong fail, then Wen Ping would have a chance."
