After some sweet talk, the rural girl Qin Jingru instantly fell into a state of confusion.

They met at Donglaishun Restaurant.

"Eat, sister Jingru. I'm not bragging. If you are with me, I can take you to a restaurant to enjoy yourself every day." Xu Damao said confidently.

Qin Jingru was delighted when she heard this. From what she had just learned, she understood that Xu Damao's family was well-off, and what Xu Damao said was not an exaggeration.

The only concern was that Xu Damao already had a wife, but he had been persuaded to resolve this issue.

"It's so delicious." Qin Jingru's mouth was full of oil and her expression was filled with happiness.

"That's too ordinary. If I didn't have the roast duck coupons, I could take you to taste the food at Quanjude. The duck here is the best in Beijing and will leave you with an endless aftertaste." Xu Damao said with a smile, and suddenly changed the subject, "But I'm going to get a few coupons soon, so we can enjoy it again then, how about that?"

"Okay, Brother Mao, thank you!"

How could Qin Jingru not respond? She had been completely mesmerized by Xu Damao's sweet words.

Seeing her promise, Xu Damao smiled and said, "Jingru sister, I am not trying to break you up. The reason why I reminded you not to be with Shazhu is actually because of another hidden reason."

Qin Jingru was stunned, and looked at the smiling Xu Damao in confusion and asked: "Isn't it because you have a grudge against Big Brother He? I saw him slap you yesterday!"

Hearing this, Xu Damao's eyes flashed with disgust, but he immediately concealed it and said in a serious and slightly worried tone: "The real reason is related to your sister.

You don't know that your sister and Sha Zhu have already fallen in love with each other, and everyone in the factory can see clearly that they have an ambiguous relationship.

Your sister introduced you to He Yuzhu simply because she was worried that the spread of rumors would affect her reputation.

Do you know how hard it is for a single mother? If she really marries a fool, how many people will gossip about her?

Then again, Sha Zhu was so good to her, and anyone watching could feel that they were in love, but why was she unwilling to marry Sha Zhu? This was obviously a move to deceive people.

So, sister Jingru, if you marry Shazhu, wouldn't that be like dragging yourself into a quagmire?"

After hearing this, Qin Jingru began to agree with Xu Damao's point of view. The explanation in the morning made her more inclined to Xu Damao's statement today.

Listening to this now, her resentment towards He Yuzhu deepened.

"Don't you have your brother Mao now? Why do you want to marry Sha Zhu? When you divorce Lou Xiao'e, I will marry you immediately and give birth to a pair of healthy sons for you. How about that?"

Hearing Qin Jingru's words, the smile on Xu Damao's face became even more intense.

He couldn't wait and said excitedly, "Okay, eat quickly, and then we'll go to the department store and I'll buy you a new set of clothes.

When we get married in the future, I will buy you a better dowry."

"Thank you, Brother Damao."

When Qin Jingru heard this, she didn't hesitate at all and immediately sped up her eating.

Soon, the two of them set off towards the department store together.

In the canteen of the steel rolling mill, He Yuzhu was concentrating on teaching Ma Hua cooking skills, having no idea that this girl named Qin Jingru had been easily persuaded by Xu Damao and had not even lasted a day or an hour.

Even if he knew the truth, he wouldn't mind.

If Qin Jingru is really unable to stick to her original intention under the influence of Xu Damao as he expected, then it is not a problem for them to be together. After all, love and marriage can be carried out one after the other.

"Watch the heat!"

Looking at Ma Hua who was concentrating on cooking, He Yuzhu noticed that the fire was a little big and hurriedly reminded him.

Upon hearing this, Ma Hua immediately adjusted the cooking utensils to reduce the contact area between the pot and the flame.

Ma Hua is not very talented, but she works very hard. As long as she keeps working hard, she will be able to become a qualified chef one day, right?

After the dish was finished, He Yuzhu inspected it and commented: "The heat is not good enough. Cooking focuses on the perfection of color, aroma and taste. If the taste is good but the appearance is not good, it will not make people hungry at first sight."

After taking a bite, he gave his feedback: "Well, barely edible.

The inappropriate seasoning ratio will affect the overall taste and needs to be improved next time. "

"Yes, master."

Ma Hua is well aware that He Yuzhu has very high requirements for cooking, and getting a barely acceptable evaluation is already very good feedback.

"Okay, let's practice a few more times and try to master the steps of this dish as soon as possible."

Because it was lunch time and he didn't need to take care of it himself, after teaching a few words, He Yuzhu picked up the teacup and sat down to rest.

At this time, Liu Lan came over and saw that he looked relaxed and contented. She smiled and joked, "Hey, Master He, it seems that you are the most relaxed person in our cafeteria!"

He Yuzhu opened his eyes and looked at Liu Lan. Seeing that she was smiling and her tone was not unfriendly, he was not sure whether she was praising or being sarcastic, so he also smiled and said, "Sister Lan, you have worked hard. Come over and sit for a while?"

"No, there's still a lot of work waiting for me, just continue to enjoy your leisure time!"

Liu Lan waved her hand to refuse, but He Yuzhu didn't take it to heart. He knew that his predecessor's personality was inevitably disliked by others, and Liu Lan was one of them.

As someone who is well versed in the plot, he knows that Liu Lan is the lover of Deputy Director Li, who is not yet in power.

However, it won't be long before Factory Director Yang will be transferred from his post, and Liu Lan's power will increase significantly.

He Yuzhu actually has some appreciation for Liu Lan, even though she lives an immoral life, but it depends on the situation.

Her family background is similar to Qin Huairu's, or even better. She was lured by Deputy Director Li due to financial difficulties. If not, her choice might have been different from Qin Huairu's.

“It’s not easy for everyone.”

With a sigh, He Yuzhu continued to rest.

In workshop number one,

When Qin Huairu completed the last step, other colleagues had already taken a short break.

Although she has worked here for a long time, her education level is low because she has only taken literacy courses.

She is always the slowest at understanding drawings and her operations are relatively slow, which slows down the production progress of the entire workshop.

But she still gritted her teeth and persevered because this job was related to her family's livelihood.

She could barely maintain her family's daily expenses by shuttling between men and sacrificing a little self-esteem in exchange for some food.

"Hey, Sister Chen is back?"

Sister Chen has worked in the steel plant for more than ten years, and her family's situation is not very good.

I took a leave this morning to avoid missing out on salary in the afternoon, and now I'm rushing back to work.

Because their workstations were very close, and Qin Huairu had been guided by Sister Chen on many things, she greeted her warmly the moment she saw Sister Chen.

"I'm back, Xiao Qin, do you know who I met today?"

Sister Chen asked in a low voice with some mystery.

"Who did you meet?"

Qin Huairu became curious.

"Oh, Xu Damao, the projectionist at our factory.

He accompanied a little girl shopping in the department store today and bought her new clothes. He was really generous.

I think this guy must be a freeloader outside, it's a pity that he squandered the money from the cinema.

Women, as a group, love this kind of gossip and small talk the most, and they can't help but say a few words about family affairs and national affairs.

Qin Huairu was stunned for a moment, and a bad feeling arose in her heart.

Listening to Sister Chen's words: "I looked at the girl carefully. She is pretty and looks like she just came from the countryside. I don't know how Xu Damao got her?"

Qin Huairu's face turned gloomy. She could almost guess who the girl was.

Who else could it be other than the worrying Qin Jingru?

"Well, let them be, Xu Damao is just like that anyway.

I hope he can't harm us.

By the way, Sister Chen, I would like to take half an hour off this afternoon. Please tell the workshop director.

Qin Huairu put down her tools and left in a hurry without waiting for Sister Chen to answer. It was obvious that she had something important to deal with.

Sister Chen felt a little strange and thought: Why is this girl in such a hurry? What's the matter?

After leaving the factory, I went straight home, and Qin Huairu was not there.

It was dinner time and Qin Huairu never came home at this time.

"Why are you back so early?"

Jia Zhang was puzzled, this was not the usual Qin Huairu.

"Mom, where's Jingru?"

Qin Huairu's face was as cold as ice, and she asked bluntly.

"What? She's not with you? She disappeared this morning and I thought she went to the factory to find you." Jia Zhang asked, not knowing what was going on.

When Qin Huairu heard this, her face turned pale and anger surged in her heart.

“Mom, didn’t I tell you to look after Jingru when I came downstairs this morning? She doesn’t know anything and has been to the city so rarely.

Forget it, I'll go look outside, this crazy girl is always wandering around.

Qin Huairu was extremely anxious. If Xu Damao really harmed Qin Jingru, she would not be able to explain to Sha Zhu.

More importantly, she originally planned that after Qin Jingru married Sha Zhu, she could also ask Sha Zhu to help support their family.

Qin Huairu hurriedly arrived at Jia Zhang's house, left the courtyard and went straight to the department store.

However, as fate would have it, when she arrived at the department store, Xu Damao and Qin Jingru were no longer there.

She searched for a long time and asked the clothing lady, only to find out that Xu Damao spent dozens of dollars to buy Qin Jingru new clothes from head to toe.

This made Qin Huairu even more anxious.

"Damn Xu Damao, why did you have to hurt Qin Jingru, such a stupid girl? If you really ruin her marriage with Sha Zhu, I will make you pay the price!" While cursing in her heart, she searched many places nearby but still couldn't find them, and finally went home in frustration.

Qin Huairu returned home in a dazed state.

Seeing her like this, Jia Zhang was sure that Qin Jingru had not been found.

But thinking that this was not the first time Qin Jingru came here, and that such a big person could not be missing, he comforted her, "Forget it, you don't have to worry so much.

She's an adult, there's no way she could just disappear."

The public security in the city is good and nothing serious usually happens during the day.

Hearing her mother's comfort, Qin Huairu sighed and said softly: "Mom, I'm afraid Qin Jingru was lured out by Xu Damao.

I just heard Sister Chen mention that in the factory, she saw Xu Damao changing the clothes of a rural girl in the department store.
