After Zhang Jun left, Zhao Xiyan was planning to take a nap, but he didn't expect the bell to ring.

He had no choice but to get up and open the office door.

"Minister, are you going to eat?" Li Li joked.

"If you have nothing to say, don't be polite. What else can you do if you don't go to eat in the middle of the day?" Zhao Xiyan laughed and scolded.

"Hahaha."

Everyone laughed.

"How do you think the manuscript is?" Zhao Xiyan asked.

"Not bad, someone wrote a novel... I plan to take the manuscript to the newspaper office to have a look in the afternoon." Li Li said seriously, "After all, we are also editors for the first time, and our level is limited..."

"This is the attitude towards work."

Zhao Xiyan nodded with a smile, "Go out to borrow a car from the car team, and write a note to my office to stamp it."

"Thank you, Minister."

Li Li was overjoyed. It was too hard to ride a bike in this hot day.

"Okay, let's work hard."

Zhao Xiyan smiled and walked downstairs.

When he arrived at the cafeteria, it was already crowded.

"Xiao Zhao..."

Someone suddenly shouted, attracting the attention of many people.

Zhao Xiyan looked sideways and found that it was Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong. He couldn't help but laugh. What tricks did these two old guys come up with?

"Xiao Zhao, come out with us. I want to tell you something."

The two pulled him out of the cafeteria.

"No, what's so mysterious?"

Zhao Xiyan took out two cigarettes and handed them over.

"Xiao Zhao, you are a cadre. If there is something wrong in the factory, will you take care of it?" Yi Zhonghai said seriously.

"It depends on what the matter is." Zhao Xiyan spread his hands and said, "I'm just the Minister of Propaganda, not the Minister of Industry."

"Don't be so joking."

Liu Haizhong said seriously, "If a cadre behaves improperly, will you take care of it?"

"What the hell?"

Zhao Xiyan was surprised, "The cadre in this factory behaves improperly, you don't go to the factory director, you come to me?"

"We went there, but the factory director was not in the factory, so I came to you." Yi Zhonghai whispered, "Xiao Zhao, if you are afraid, just pretend I didn't say anything..."

"Don't provoke me."

Zhao Xiyan laughed and scolded, "Tell me, who behaved improperly?"

"Director Li, do you dare to take care of it?" Liu Haizhong raised his eyebrows.

"Li Weimin?"

Zhao Xiyan frowned, "What did he do?"

"Tell me first if you dare to take care of it." Yi Zhonghai said seriously, "If you don't dare to take care of it, it's useless to talk about it, and it will bring you trouble..."

These two old guys.

Zhao Xiyan laughed in silence. If the factory director is not here, there are still several deputy factory directors. If the deputy factory director is not here, there are still the heads of various departments. They came to see him, most likely with bad intentions.

"Xiao Zhao, you scolded this and that in the yard... It turns out that he is also a coward. Well, we have misjudged him." Liu Haizhong said indignantly.

"Don't use this trick."

Zhao Xiyan shook his head and said, "Tell me, why did Director Li behave improperly?"

"What do you care about this?"

Yi Zhonghai's eyes lit up.

"If you don't tell me, I will go and tell Director Li that you reported him..." Zhao Xiyan pouted.

Damn, this beast.

The two cursed inwardly, and they knew that this beast would not be a human being.

"Speak or not?" Zhao Xiyan said patiently.

"Speak, speak, speak..."

Yi Zhonghai came over and quietly told the story.

It turned out that when the two came to eat, they found Li Weimin sneaking towards the warehouse behind the factory. They didn't know what was wrong with them, but they actually followed him.

As a result, they saw Li Weimin threatening Liu Lan, saying that if Liu Lan didn't obey him, he would make Liu Lan unable to get along in the factory. The two also agreed to meet at the warehouse at one o'clock.

Zhao Xiyan was about to speak, but saw a small car driving towards the administrative building, and couldn't help but exclaimed, "Hurry up, the factory director is back..."

"Factory director?"

Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong were stunned at first, and then they were furious, "Zhao Xiyan, you are such a coward, I look down on you..."

"No, the factory director is back, you hurry to find the factory director, if the factory director catches Li in the act, you will have done a great deed, right?" Zhao Xiyan said with a smile.

"You..."

The two were so angry that their faces turned blue, and they turned into the cafeteria, too lazy to pay attention to him.

Zhao Xiyan didn't care and followed the two of them.

He looked up at Liu Lan who was getting her meal and shook his head.

Li Weimin had good taste. Liu Lan was actually very beautiful.

She had an oval face, willow-shaped eyebrows, and two braids of black hair. She was in her twenties, her face was full of collagen, and her whole body was full of youth.

Zhao Xiyan got her meal without a word., found a seat in the cafeteria and started eating.

Liu Lan had been standing at the food window, her eyebrows furrowed, and she looked a little absent-minded.

When it was almost one o'clock, she took off her apron, said a few words to the cafeteria director, and then went into the cafeteria.

Zhao Xiyan also stood up slowly and walked out the door.

Liu Lan was still very alert. Before she reached the warehouse, she saw Zhao Xiyan following her.

"Minister Zhao, where are you going?" She asked with a red face.

"Someone is about to fall into the fire pit. I'll see if there is any hope." Zhao Xiyan joked.

"Into the fire pit?"

Liu Lan was slightly stunned, and then took a step back in fear, "Minister Zhao, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand?"

"Liu Lan, it doesn't matter whether you understand or not." Zhao Xiyan shook his head and said, "If you just say that you are willing... I will pretend that I have never been here today."

"You..."

Liu Lan's eyes were red in an instant, and then she lowered her head and began to wipe her tears.

"Liu Lan, there is only one chance. If you don't want to take that step, I can help you..." Zhao Xiyan said seriously.

"You help me? What can you do to help me?" Liu Lan cried, "Li Weimin, that beast, said that if I don't obey her, she will say that I stole something... and will fire me from the factory."

"Are you married?" Zhao Xiyan asked.

"If we hadn't gotten married, I would have fought him."

Teardrops as big as beans fell from Liu Lan's eyes, "My husband doesn't have a job, he's out gambling every day... He doesn't give me and the child money when he wins, and he beats people when he loses. If I don't have a job, my child and I will starve to death."

"Ah."

Zhao Xiyan sighed, "If you don't want to have anything to do with Li Weimin, I can help you... If you want to rely on him to move up, then just pretend I'm not here."

Liu Lan was stunned for a moment when she heard this.

She stared at Zhao Xiyan in a daze, her heart was in turmoil.

Li Weimin's blackmailing her was not a way out for her, was it?

If it could give the child a bite of meat to eat, it was not impossible.

After all, she had given up on her man.

Zhao Xiyan saw this, shook his head, turned around and left.

Everyone has their own choices. If Liu Lan chooses Li Weimin, it may not be that she is born to like doing this kind of thing. Who is not bent by life?
