The Great Era of Siheyuan

Li Wenqiang's words made Li Huaide stunned for a moment, and after he heard it clearly, he said with a polite smile.

"Of course, as a great contributor to our steel mill, if you have any questions, just let me know. I will do my best to help you as long as I can!"

Look at what he said, how well-spoken he was, trying his best, agreeing, but also it seems like he didn't agree. This leader is worthy of being a leader, his words are so well-spoken.

However, Li Wenqiang was mentally prepared.

"Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you. You know I have a construction team now. Not many people know about it at the beginning. My house will be built in a few days, and the workers will have to find other jobs. I want to put an advertisement on the bulletin board of our steel mill and tell them that I can build a house for them. What do you think?"

Li Wenqiang said with a smile.

"You've found the wrong person! Their houses are all owned by the steel mill. You might as well find me instead of them! I'll give you a job to renovate and maintain those dilapidated houses and build a few more rooms. Don't worry, I won't treat you unfairly!"

Li Huaide looked at him speechlessly. How could the employees have money? It was such a big factory manager, why didn’t he look for them?

"Really? Then thank you in advance! But it's not wrong for me to look for them, I will have to trouble you when the time comes!"

Li Wenqiang said with a chuckle, without elaborating.

At this moment, Wang Dawei brought Liu Lan over to serve the dishes.

"The boiled fish is here! Please enjoy it, leader!"

Wang Dawei nodded, bowed and smiled as he walked out. Liu Lan put down the twice-cooked pork in her hand, looked at Li Wenqiang, and then walked out.

"Come on, Sha Zhu's cooking skills are pretty good. Let's eat it while it's hot. Do you want to have a couple of drinks?"

Seeing that the dishes were served, Li Huaide didn't say much. He picked up the chopsticks and motioned him to eat.

"No more drinking at noon. I'll go find Director Cui later and get things settled as soon as possible! I don't know how much meat we need yet. Just give me an amount so I can arrange it!"

Li Wenqiang had no interest in wine and shook his head.

"Meat is three yuan a pound. I'll take as much as you can get!"

Li Huaide gave a number.

"It's too little. They're all five bucks out there now!"

Li Wenqiang shook his head. If it was in the past, meat worth two yuan would not be sold, but what was the situation now? In a time of famine, what was the use of three yuan?

"How about this, let's both take a step back. Four pieces, but I only want two thousand pounds!"

Li Huaide said with a smile, but the smile on his face was obviously a little stiff. He was obviously not satisfied with the price. This way he wouldn't make much money.

However, Li Wenqiang obviously would not indulge him. He would just give him the required amount. Three dollars was definitely not possible, but four dollars would be enough.

"Okay, four dollars is four dollars. I'm only doing it for your sake. Otherwise, I definitely wouldn't agree to it!"

After saying that, she ignored him, picked up her bowl and chopsticks and started eating.

After dinner, before leaving, Li Huaide specifically reminded him to remember to build a toilet in his house. Li Wenqiang said that he would have to wait a few days until the toilet was completed in his house.

After the two of them left, Sha Zhu ran into the canteen happily, and a smile appeared on his face when he saw that most of the food was still left.

"Pah, it's such a waste for two people to eat so much, let me eat it!"

After saying that, Sha Zhu took out his lunch box with a smile and started eating without any hesitation. If he was not allowed to take it back, he would just finish it here.

Before he could take a bite, Wang Dawei came in and patted him on the shoulder from behind with a bad look on his face.

"Silly, what are you doing?"

Sha Zhu was so frightened that he swallowed the chicken that had just entered his mouth. He choked and rolled his eyes.

"Ahem! Boss, I-I didn't do anything. I just saw they had finished eating so I wanted to come over and clean up!"

Sha Zhu hurriedly stood up to explain, but his greasy mouth was unconvincing.

"Clean up? I think you want to put it all into your stomach, right? Besides, I haven't eaten yet, what are you cleaning up? If you want to clean up, wait until I finish eating. You can get out first!"

Wang Dawei scolded Sha Zhu without any politeness.

Sha Zhu didn't dare to get angry after hearing this. If it were in the past, he would have cursed at the guy, but now he had a punishment on his shoulders, so he could only endure it.

Sha Zhu forced an ugly smile on his face and said.

"Then I'll go out first. Call me when you're done eating!"

After saying this, Sha Zhu picked up his lunch box and ran away dejectedly.

"Humph! You really can't tell the difference between big and small. You ate it before the leader did. I'll deal with you next time, humph!"

"Bah, you damn Wang Dawei! You're eating alone! Be careful or you'll die of overeating, you bastard!"

After Sha Zhu walked out, he became more and more unwilling to give in. He took out his lunch box and slammed it hard on the table. Liu Lan, who was walking towards the canteen with her lunch box, was startled by him and scolded him angrily.

"Silly Zhu, do you want to die? Why are you so mad? You can only show off in front of Ma Hua and Fatty, you are nothing but a bully!"

After saying this, Liu Lan walked away twisting her hips.

Seeing that Liu Lan, who was a mistress, dared to look at him, Sha Zhu's face turned black. He clenched his fists and said, "I will endure it!"

"Hey~! Silly Zhu, I heard that you came back to work, so it's true! Are you angry? There is still someone in this cafeteria who can make you angry, it seems that you are not doing well at all!"

At this time, a tall man with a short face and a smile on his face walked in from the cafeteria entrance.

"Xu Damao? Why are you here?"

Sha Zhu, leaning on his crutch, looked at him unfriendlyly.

Xu Damao chuckled, not caring at all about his bad mood, and walked over very lazily and casually.

"Didn't I just tell you? I heard that you came to work, so I came to see you. After all, we live in the same yard! Shouldn't I care about you?"

Xu Damao circled around Sha Zhu, making clicking sounds with his mouth.

"Silly Zhu, I see your leg isn't fully healed yet, how are you going to go to work in the future? Are you going to let an old man carry you to and from get off work every day?"

Xu Damao laughed sarcastically and said that there were many people helping him in the courtyard, but there would not be so many things to do in the steel mill.

"It's none of your business! Xu Damao, I'm warning you, if you're okay, get out of here right now, or I'll beat you up!"

Sha Zhu looked at Xu Damao with a lazy and nonchalant look as he watched the fun, and looked at him with an unfriendly expression.

"Silly Zhu, you still think you are the same as before? You hit me! I came to visit you because we are neighbors, but you took my kindness for granted. Not only did you not appreciate it, but you even wanted to hit me! Do you believe that I will break your legs again and make you use crutches for the rest of your life?"

Xu Damao originally just wanted to come and see the fun, but he didn't expect Sha Zhu's attitude to be so bad, and a surge of anger suddenly emerged in his heart.

"You? Xu Damao, I don't mean to look down on you. Even if I give you two more guts, you still wouldn't dare to do anything to me! You are a coward, get out of here right now, or I will beat you up!"

After saying this, Sha Zhu lay down on the seat with his crutches, not even bothering to look at him.

Xu Damao was so angry that his teeth were itching when he was looked down upon by Sha Zhu.

"You idiot, I don't dare to touch you, right? Fine, just wait for me! Wait until we get out and see how I deal with you!"

Xu Damao left with a sneer. Now he had plenty of money in his hands. He could just spend a few dozen dollars to call a dozen or twenty people to help him. They would not be able to beat him to death.

He decided to find someone to deal with Sha Zhu later, and see if he would still be so arrogant after get off work.
