I am doing well in the Siheyuan

The main purpose of their trip was still for Ye Ming.

Lou Zhiren knew that since Xu Damao was unreliable, he had to find a suitable man for Lou Xiao'e.

And at this moment, Ye Ming is undoubtedly the best candidate.

However, Ye Ming didn't seem to have such intention.

Not long ago he brought another girl home.

Seeing that something that seemed almost certain to happen might fail, Lou Zhiren naturally became uneasy.

"He's been in a lot of trouble lately."

This kind of thing is difficult to conceal, and you can find out the details by asking anyone.

After hearing this, Lou Zhiren and Lou Xiaoe felt a tightness in their hearts.

"What happened to Ye Ming?"

"Mr. Lou, you don't have to worry too much. It's not a big deal. We just had a conflict with a family in their yard and beat someone up. Li Huaide was still making a fuss with me about it just now."

"Fighting with the people in their courtyard? It can't be that simple..."

Lou Zhiren frowned. Although he had not had much contact with Ye Ming, he had a general understanding of his personality.

This matter is by no means as simple as Director Yang said.

"Dad, I want to go to the kitchen."

Lou Xiao'e was worried about Ye Ming's situation and didn't care about the proper modesty a woman should have.

"Go ahead, just don't disturb them at work."

"Do not worry."

After Lou Xiao'e walked away, Director Yang suddenly sighed.

It’s such a pity, it was originally a good marriage.

If it weren't for the existence of that elementary school teacher, he would definitely try his best to bring the two together.

It is not a good thing for a man to have too much luck in love.

There will inevitably be conflicts between the two women, and I'm afraid Ye Ming will be overwhelmed to deal with them.

In the kitchen of a steel mill,

Seeing the girl suddenly appear, everyone stopped what they were doing.

"How did you come?"

I came to visit you with good intentions, but in the end I only got such a cold response.

Lou Xiao'e was very angry, but she could do nothing about Ye Ming.

After thinking for a moment, he could only puff out his cheeks and reply: "Why can't I come?"

Ye Ming was concentrating on cooking the dishes in the pot without even raising his head.

It's not that I'm deliberately being indifferent, I just don't think it's necessary.

Ye Ming could probably guess what the Lou family was thinking, but he was always focused and didn't care about other people.

"what ever."

"you!"

No matter where she is, she is used to being the center of attention, but Ye Ming is the only one who always remains indifferent.

Lou Xiao'e's pride was aroused, and she turned around and left the kitchen angrily, but in a moment, she pulled up the door curtain and stepped in again.

"You want to force me to leave, but I won't leave. I want to stay in this kitchen!"

The kitchen staff looked at each other in confusion. Lou Xiao'e was not a newcomer to the steel mill.

In the past, she was inseparable from Xu Damao, and I wonder how many male workers in the factory envied her.

Why are you entangled with Master Ye again?

"What are you looking at? You have nothing to do, right?"

As soon as Ye Ming opened his mouth, everyone in the kitchen immediately withdrew their gazes and lowered their heads to get busy.

"Xiao Ye, Miss Lou, Director Yang wants you to go to the reception room."

After the lunch was served, the two were called away from the kitchen by Director Li, and only then did everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

"Hey, hey, hey, what's going on between Master Ye and Miss Lou?"

"What else could it be? Didn't you all see what Miss Lou did just now?"

"This is not right. Doesn't Master Ye have a girlfriend? He even brought her home."

"Didn't the teacher visit last time? Who wouldn't be tempted by Miss Lou's conditions? Now she's taking the initiative to come to me, I don't believe Master Ye will remain indifferent."

"Hey, what's wrong with this world? We all have one head and two eyes, but why don't any girls look at me more?"

The fat man was shaking his fat body, feeling very aggrieved.

"Come on, take these buns to the cafeteria. We can't discuss this kind of thing."

Qin Huairu's words carried considerable weight in the kitchen.

This matter is very complicated and it may not end well if you get involved in it.

Because of the Xu Damao incident, the relationship between Li Huaide and Lou Zhiren became quite tense.

Lou Zhiren was not present at today's reception.

In public-private partnerships, those who actually hold power are still state officials.

The deputy factory director has far more power than a director.

It can even be said that the factory directors have no real power.

In addition, as domestic capital power is shrinking, Li Huaide is not afraid of Director Lou.

Instead of trying to curry favor with Lou Zhiren, it is better to go to the workshop and get close to the new Qin Jingru.

Without Xu Damao's interference, the reception went quite smoothly.

After the guests left, Ye Ming was also invited into the office by Director Yang.

"You should understand what Director Lou means, right?"

"What do you mean?"

"Hey, you are playing dumb! They are anxious to find a home for Miss Lou and want to recruit you as their son-in-law."

"You're going a little too far. It's not like Lou Xiao'e can't get married. Don't you know my situation?"

"It is clear, and that is why I asked you to give me a definite answer.

You are so lazy all day long, and you brought Miss Ran home without any status. You don't really want to learn Xu Damao's tricks, do you? "

Director Yang said seriously.

Ye Ming was stunned, realizing that he seemed to still be dealing with emotional issues with modern thinking.

In this era, society was far less tolerant of women than it is today.

Ran Qiuye was willing to go home with him, having already decided that he would be her lifelong partner.

The idea of ​​a home visit was just to give him a way out. The real pressure has always been on Ran Qiuye.

"Xiao Ye, you have to be careful about this matter. It's not a good idea to keep dragging it out.

I can help you communicate with Director Lou, but you have to let people see your attitude."

Ye Ming's frown gradually relaxed as if something suddenly occurred to him.

"I almost missed something important. Comrade Lao Yang, the organization has made note of this favor. It's all right, I'm leaving now."

"Hey, remember to close the door, kid."

Director Yang smiled and shook his head. Although the matter was tricky, he believed that Ye Ming was a smart man.

It's just a pity that a beautiful marriage was ruined.

Back in the kitchen, Ye was obviously a little uneasy.

Everyone was tactful and no one asked any further questions.

When the broadcast sounded, he rode his bicycle to Red Star Primary School.

The two figures, one big and one small, as always, gradually calmed Ye Ming's mood.

"Cinderella lost her crystal slipper. Did the prince find her in the end?"

Ran Qiuye widened his eyes, anxiously wanting to know the ending of the story.

Ye Ming's gaze fell on Xiao Xin. The girl lowered her head and looked a little lost.

“I fell asleep afterwards.”

Ye Ming smiled, looked intently at the girl in front of him, and said softly, "Found it."

Ran Qiuye's face flushed and she lowered her head.

"Get in the car and I'll take you home."

"Ah? No need."

"obedient!"

"..."

At 4:30 in the afternoon, Yanzhi Lane was bustling with people.

In this poor city, bicycles are a rare commodity.

Ran Qiuye was filled with nervousness.

The last time I came here, the sun was setting and there were few people on the road.

Things are different now.

"Just send it to the alley."

Still some distance away from the alley, Ran Qiuye's face was already flushed.

"Xiao Xin, are you thirsty?"

"I'm not thirsty."

"How about trying some apple-flavored candied haws? Can they quench your thirst?"

"Teacher Ran, Xiaoxin said she is thirsty. Can she go to your house to ask for some water?"
