Siheyuan: Pushing Huairu, the Prime Minister admits defeat

In order to dispel his doubts and the anxiety brought about by his uneasiness, Li Huaide went straight to the duty room to find the person in charge of registration, and asked him carefully in an extremely serious tone about the whole story.

The young man on duty saw that the deputy director had a bad look on his face. Although he was panicked, he still managed to remain calm and told him everything in detail.

"Deputy Director Li, I heard from your wife that when she came to Shanghai to visit her relatives, she had received support from her family. It seems that she is determined to divorce you. She asked you to prepare in advance and provide your household registration booklet, marriage certificate, etc."

After the young man said this tremblingly, he stared at Li Huaide, who had a gloomy face, with some fear, fearing that this moody leader would take his anger out on him.

"How dare this bitch!"

Li Huaide was furious, and his years of energy-cultivation skills were instantly broken at this moment. After swearing with gritted teeth, he did not vent his resentment on the young man. Instead, he immediately ordered the person on duty to quickly call over.

He wanted to ask in person to find out what was wrong with this rich girl who was used to being bossy all the time.

Why don't you just live a peaceful life and get a divorce certificate?

As expected, the call to Hu Hai was quickly connected. Li Huaide tried his best to suppress his inner anger and said angrily, "Jiang Xifeng, what's wrong with you? Are you crazy? You're living a good life and you're asking for a divorce certificate!"

However, before he could finish his words, he heard an unusually majestic voice on the other end of the line: "Is that Xiao Li? I'm, you're Chief Jiang."

"Oh no, it's Old Tarzan!"

Li Huaide's heart skipped a beat, and he realized that he had lost his composure in front of his father-in-law. He immediately became confused, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, and hurriedly explained: "Dad, there is some misunderstanding here. Don't take what I said just now too seriously. Just ignore it."

Li Huaide was already in a state of confusion at this moment. He had been in the steel rolling mill for so many years and had become extremely sensitive to some details and such names.

According to past practice, Lao Taishan always called himself "Dad", as the saying goes, a son-in-law is half a son, but for some reason today, he actually called himself the leader.

It may seem like an insignificant title, but what it reveals about the responsibilities is intriguing.

Could it be that the old Taishan whom he relied on would also intervene and support his daughter in getting a divorce?

Li Huaide was nervous and looked embarrassed. He kept wiping the sweat off his face with a handkerchief. The flesh on his cheeks kept shaking, showing that he was quite uneasy inside.

The reason why he was able to climb up the ladder quickly in the steel rolling mill over the years was because he relied on the power of the Jiang family, especially the connections of comrades-in-arms that Lao Taishan had accumulated over the years, which gave Li Huaide the green light all the way.

He is close to being a director at a young age, and holds a powerful position in a profit-making department. Correspondingly, he has made many enemies over the years.

They have been lurking and enduring, and the reason they haven't jumped out is that they are afraid of Lao Taishan's power. If Jiang Xifeng divorces him, those enemies will definitely take advantage of the situation and beat him up.

Thinking of that horrifying ending, Li Huaide felt a chill down his spine.

Father Jiang's tone on the other end of the phone was still calm, with an unquestionable domineering tone: "I've told you so many times, when you're at work, you should refer to your position. Don't always bring your relatives into work. This is not a good habit. You just can't tell the difference between the important and the unimportant."

"Okay Jiang Zhiwu, ah, no, Chief Jiang, it's me who can't put priorities right."

Li Huaide was stunned for a moment, then blurted out the word "jiang zhiwu". He wanted to slap himself in the face and said hastily to make amends: "Commander Jiang, I have been busy with official business recently and have not had time to report my thoughts to you. I have just prepared some local specialties, especially the best Pu'er tea. I asked my friends to search for it for a long time and finally got the top-quality tea. I will take an express train to deliver it to Shanghai in person in the next two days. Can you taste it?"

Li Huaide felt that his tone was extremely flattering at the moment, but there was nothing he could do. Those who could reach his level and grade must be top-notch people.

Through some minor differences in the way they addressed him, he had keenly noticed Jiang Xifeng's father's dissatisfaction with him. Although he didn't know what exactly happened during that time, there was no doubt that he had to do his best to remedy the situation.

However, the voice on the other end of the phone made Li Huaide despair. He only heard Father Jiang hesitate for a moment, as if making a decision, and then conveyed the order quite solemnly.

"Little Li, I have been thinking about a lot of things these days. Your father blocked a bullet for me on the battlefield, and I am grateful. He has also taken good care of your Li family over the years. You are not a wolf, and I believe you understand. But Xifeng is my daughter. I made a wrong move in your marriage. Now I want to withdraw this move. You should prepare the marriage certificate and household registration booklet in the next two days. I will go to the capital in person in a few days to settle this matter as soon as possible."

After saying this, as if he felt that this sentence was not strong enough, Father Jiang coughed and said without question: "This matter must be implemented quickly and without delay. If you have nothing else, hang up the phone. I need to rest now."

Li Huaide in Beijing didn't have time to answer the call because the phone was disconnected.

Li Huaide felt dizzy at the moment. He felt dizzy and his feet were as soft as if he was stepping on cotton.

One of them lost his balance and nearly hit his head, mumbling incoherently, "This shouldn't be happening, this shouldn't be happening, how could this be possible, what went wrong?"

"Director Li, Director Li, don't be like this, this matter may still be salvageable,"

Seeing Li Huaide's dazed look like a zombie, the senior officials and staff on duty standing by couldn't help feeling sad, but they didn't have much sympathy or pity for Li Huaide. It was more of a feeling of sympathy for his own kind and grief over the death of a rabbit.

After all, no one is very clean and it is hard to make a living these days.

No one knows when bad luck will befall them. Maybe Li Huaide is unlucky today, but tomorrow it will be someone else's turn. This uncertainty fills everyone's heart with anxiety and fear.

At this moment, Li Huaide's experience is like a mirror, reflecting their truest thoughts deep in their hearts - confusion about the future, helplessness about fate, and worry about their own situation.

However, despite their deep feelings, they could only remain silent on the surface, because in this complex official environment, saying one more word might bring them unexpected trouble.

Therefore, they could only watch Li Huaide silently, hoping that this deputy factory director who treated his subordinates well could come up with a response plan and avert danger in time. At the same time, they also secretly prayed that they would not follow in his footsteps.

Li Huaide has been at the peak of his career in recent years, and the status of his minions has naturally risen as well. Seeing that Li Huaide is about to drive Director Yang out, good days are about to come.

How did Li Huaide suddenly get into this trouble? Although he won't be immediately eliminated from the position of deputy factory director, he probably won't be able to hold on for long.

When Li Huaide was successful, Director Yang was often bullied by Li Huaide. Now Li Huaide is soaked, and it is hard to say whether he can withstand Director Yang's revenge.

Li Huaide's ship is about to sink. It seems that I must find a new backer as soon as possible. I can't fall into the abyss with Li Huaide.

How could Li Huaide, an old fox, not know the inner thoughts of Officer Gao? But at this time, Li Huaide had no time to care about these trivial matters.

"Get out of the way, I want to be alone!"

He was so confused that he walked back to his room with slow steps. His mistress was watching TV and eating melon seeds with great interest.

Seeing that her beloved Li Huaide had returned, she hurried forward and opened her arms to welcome him: "Director Li, you are back. You don't know how much I have missed you during this period of time. Can you see how much I have missed you?"

As he spoke, he pulled Li Huaide to test the salinity of the soil.

Under normal circumstances, Li Huaide would naturally enjoy this matter, but at this moment, after suffering a critical blow, he just wanted to be quiet for a moment and think about what went wrong?

So she waved her hands in annoyance and said unhappily, "You are a woman with long hair and short knowledge. You think about these things all day long. Can you take care of your man? Turn off the TV. I want to be quiet."

The mistress had never seen Li Huaide so angry before. She pouted and glared at him fiercely: "What? You called me your little darling when you left during the day, but how come you start to dislike me so quickly? You men are really bad. You get tired of the old and fall in love with the new very quickly."

At this moment, Li Huaide was in no mood to waste time talking to this woman. After sending her away, his brain was working rapidly, and he kept figuring out what had happened.

You have to know that his marriage with Jiang Xifeng, which was in name only, lasted for many years without any problems. They just played their own games and lived in peace.

How come it didn't take long? He just went to Shanghai to visit his relatives, and now he's asking for a divorce?

Could it be that Jiang Xifeng did something shameful during this trip to Shanghai?

This shouldn't be the case. If I'm not mistaken, Jiang Xifeng shouldn't be attracted to men, and this situation wouldn't happen anyway. The more Li Huaide thought about it, the more confused he became. He decided to prepare the documents as his father-in-law had asked and wait until he arrived in the capital.

It is easier said than done.

What made Li Huaide toss and turn was that he couldn't sleep all night because of this knot in his heart. He was anxious and uneasy. He wanted to die with a clear conscience, so he was torn between conscience and desire for a while.

In the end, Li Huaide could no longer suppress his inner panic and shamelessly called Shanghai again. Fortunately, Jiang's father was in the study handling matters at that moment.

After confirming that the call was connected, Li Huaide respectfully handed him the documents and asked carefully, "Chief Jiang, what did I do wrong? After so many years of love, Xifeng and I have been inseparable. There must be a reason for this. You can't just ask for a divorce certificate. It's a bit too hasty."

Father Jiang hesitated for a moment, as if thinking about something, then he sighed and said earnestly: "Li Huaide, you have been married to Xifeng for all these years, ask yourself, how much have you cared for Xifeng over these years? What she wants is a husband who loves her and cherishes her, not someone who only knows how to use her family's power to climb up. This time in Shanghai, she met someone who really understands her. I think you should let go."

"What the hell, someone who really understands her?"

Li Huaide was struck by lightning after hearing this, but he still did not forget to protest for himself: "Commander, I have diligently served and taken care of Jiang Xifeng over the years. Even if I have no merit, I have worked hard. Besides, this time it was Jiang Xifeng who cheated on her, and I was tolerant and generous by not blaming her. Why is she still acting like a child? I'm sorry that I can't comply with your order regarding the divorce certificate!"

Seeing that Li Huaide was still making excuses and looking like he would not cry until he saw the coffin, Father Jiang could not control his temper.

He snorted coldly and scolded, "Li Huaide, I originally wanted to part ways amicably and give you some face. You retreated in the face of difficulties and cooperated honestly to get a divorce certificate. But you turned out to be dishonest. Don't think I don't know that you have been philandering in the steel mill over the years. I'm afraid your work style problems are quite serious."

This immediately made Li Huaide silent. He instantly realized that the shameful things he had done in the steel mill over the years had been exposed. He could only explain helplessly, "Chief Jiang, those are just rumors spread by outsiders. Don't take them seriously."

However, Jiang's father had obviously made up his mind. He hung up the phone without saying anything, leaving Li Huaide alone listening to the blank sound on the other end, in a daze.

The ups and downs of life really caught him off guard.

Recalling the dinner, he was still in high spirits and drinking and chatting happily with the cadres from the brother factories. He was full of heroic spirit in the toasting and clinking of glasses, as if he was the only one better than him in the steel rolling mill.

However, just one phone call made the situation completely irreversible and out of control.

Lou Xifeng, this bitch, is really an ungrateful person who is not well-fed. No wonder she is in such a hurry to visit her relatives in Shanghai. It turns out that she has prepared a backup plan and wants to file a complaint in Shanghai.

Li Huaide did not go to the place where his beautiful woman was hidden to seek pleasure with his mistress in the kitchen. Instead, he asked Officer Gao to drive him home and he returned home in a daze. Looking at the empty room, without a trace of smoke and fire, it seemed desolate and deserted. Li Huaide felt more miserable.
