Siheyuan: I am the Smart Pillar

Looking at the burly workers around him, Jia Dongxu knew they were looking for trouble. But he didn't dare to offend them. However, he was being watched by other workers around him. If he didn't say a few harsh words, they would think he, Jia Dongxu, was easy to bully.

He said with a dark face, "What do you want to do? Do you want to beat me in the Red Star Steel Mill? I tell you, if you dare to beat me, I will never let you go." Liu Chi smiled coldly and didn't say anything more. He took his group of apprentices and went to line up on the other side.

Jia Dongxu was very happy to see that he had just driven these people away with just a few words. Yi Zhonghai frowned and said, "Be careful when you get off work at night. I feel that Liu Chi will definitely find trouble with you."

Jia Dongxu was also very scared, but he still said, "He dares. If he dares to bully me, I will find someone from the police station." Yi Zhonghai looked at his apprentice speechlessly, smiled bitterly and said, "Dongxu, if I really cover you with a sack and beat you up, do you think the police in the police station will take care of you?"

Jia Dongxu also became afraid. He looked at his master and said, "Master, what should I do? I am a weak disciple, so I am definitely no match for those people. Can you help me? I don't want to be beaten by them. Otherwise, I will apologize to Liu Chi and the others and ask them to forgive me."

Yi Zhonghai grabbed the somewhat uneasy Jia Dongxu, and he looked down upon this boy more and more. Why did he lose his mind and choose him as his old man? But now that things have come to this, what can he do? After thinking for a while, he said, "You bullied someone's daughter, and you think you can get over this matter with a simple apology."

Jia Dongxu said with a dark face, "Then what should we do, Master?" Yi Zhonghai thought for a while and said, "Recently, you should go home quickly after get off work every day, and try not to go home alone. I will have a good talk with Liu Chi in a while, and then you can compensate him with some money."

Jia Dongxu said unhappily, "Pay compensation? Why should the master pay compensation?" Yi Zhonghai said with a dark face, "Oh, you feel bad. You don't have to pay, but you will have to bear Liu Chi's revenge! I have known him for many years. Before liberation, this old man knew a lot of ruffians. When the time comes, he can break one of your arms or legs with just a little money. If you don't want to spend money, you can just lose an arm or a leg yourself."

Yi Zhonghai knew Liu Chi quite well. He knew that he was always vindictive. When the Japanese invaders were there, those ruffians and traitors did not dare to bully him. Not to mention Jia Dongxu now, who would definitely be subdued by Liu Chi.

Jia Dongxu smiled and said, "No, Master, I'll listen to you. It's just a little money to keep safe, it's worth it." Yi Zhonghai nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile, "That's right, okay, let's go buy some food first, and then go back and have a good rest after eating, and work hard in the afternoon."

In the purchasing department, Qin Huairu was sitting in the office eating, and Ma Haiyan came over with a smile. Ma Haiyan looked at Qin Huairu, who felt a little puzzled and said to Ma Haiyan, "Sister Yan, is there anything strange about me? Why are you looking at me like that?"

Ma Haiyan pursed her lips and said, "I didn't expect that such a delicate little beauty like you would dare to fight with others on the street. You can't judge a book by its cover." Since Qin Huairu joined the purchasing department, she has undoubtedly become the flower of the purchasing department.

Qin Huairu's face turned red. Seeing that there was no one around, she said, "Sister Ma, how did you know that I had a fight with someone else? Could this be..." Ma Haiyan raised her middle finger and said, "Shh, don't worry. Apart from your man, only Section Chief Gao and I know about this. We won't tell anyone. After the people from Red Star Primary School called me this morning, I was also in Section Chief Gao's office. What happened? I always feel that you are very kind. What's going on..."

Qin Huairu had no choice but to tell the story again. Ma Haiyan nodded and said, "It seems that your old classmate is envious of you! But your old classmate's mind is not pure. If the false accusation is successful, you will at least have to go to jail. Chief Gao didn't say much about you, did he?"

Qin Huairu shook her head and said, "Chief Gao didn't say much, he just said it wouldn't happen again. My classmate used to be jealous of me, and her relationship with me was quite distant. I didn't expect that after so many years of not seeing each other, this would be the scene when we met again. It really feels like it's fate. My classmate is about the same age as me, but I didn't expect her to marry an old man."

Ma Haiyan smiled. She felt that this situation was very common. In this day and age, as long as you have the ability, a 50-year-old man can still marry an 18-year-old delicate girl? As long as you can have enough food, it doesn't matter whether the person you marry is an old man or a young man. In this day and age, having enough food is the most important thing.

"Sister Qin, why are you here?" Lou Xiao'e and her daughter and Section Chief Gao walked in, ready to take a look around the purchasing department. Unexpectedly, they saw Qin Huairu and Ma Haiyan who were eating.

Qin Huairu was naturally familiar with Lou Xiaoe. She had even cooked at Lou's house with He Yuzhu. The two girls were not very old, so they had a lot to talk about. Qin Huairu said with a smile, "Lou, Miss Lou, how come you have time to come to the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill today? Hello, Director Lou!"

Lou Bancheng nodded with a smile, and Lou Xiao'e said with a smile, "I followed my father to collect our family's dividends today, and just wandered around the steel mill. I didn't expect that I would see Sister Qin. Is Sister Qin working in the steel mill now? I also work in the steel mill."

Qin Huairu smiled very sweetly and said, "I have just been working at the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill for a short time. I am a clerk in the purchasing department. Miss Lou, where do you work? I haven't seen you for a while."

Lou Xiao'e smiled and said, "Sister Qin, there's no need to be so formal. Just call me Xiao'e. I'm a clerk in the Personnel Department now. I really didn't expect that Sister Qin also works here, otherwise I would have come to play with Sister Qin a long time ago."

Lou Bancheng coughed in the back and said, "Xiao'e, don't be so careless. How can you use the word 'play' when you work in a steel mill? Comrade Qin, hello. I really didn't expect to see you here. You and Zhuzi haven't been to our house for a long time. My wife wants to try Zhuzi's cooking again!"
