1959Siheyuan, a Turnaround

Li Weiguo hid in a corner not far away and watched all this quietly.

His purpose was to get a hold of Bang Geng's bad deeds so that he could find an opportunity to teach him a lesson later, rather than taking action at this time.

There was a slight noise coming from the yard. Not long after, Bang Geng took out a package and handed it to Fu Haibo and Xiao Baoliang outside the wall.

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps coming from afar. The footsteps came closer and closer, and were particularly clear in the quiet alley.

Wang Jiancheng and Liu Hongguang's faces changed suddenly, and Wang Jiancheng hurriedly blew the whistle.

The sharp whistle instantly broke the tranquility of the alley, making the already tense atmosphere even more solemn and suffocating.

When Bangteng heard the whistle, he panicked and tried to climb out of the yard.

His feet slipped and he almost fell to the ground. He finally climbed up to the top of the wall and jumped down.

His face was full of fear, and although this was not the first time he had done something bad, his heart was still pounding with nervousness.

"Hurry up, someone is coming!"

Someone shouted softly, and everyone fled in panic in the opposite direction.

Li Weiguo looked at their fleeing backs, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a barely perceptible sneer.

I'm afraid this kid Banggeng is almost scared out of his wits.

It's so bold that he is so timid and yet dares to do bad things.

In the quiet and secluded courtyard near the steel mill, the surrounding walls are like silent guardians, quietly isolating everything inside the house from the outside world.

Inside the house, the dim light cast on the messy bed, and the panting sound had not yet completely subsided.

Li Huaide lay on his back contentedly, with the afterglow of passion still lingering on his face. His hair was a little messy and fine beads of sweat were oozing out of his forehead, sparkling under the light.

The Zhongshan suit had already been casually thrown on a chair beside him, and the collar of his shirt was open, revealing his strong chest.

At this moment, his heart was filled with complacency, thinking that in this small world, he could not only control the affairs of the factory, but also play with the woman in front of him at his will. The feeling of power and desire intertwined made him intoxicated.

Qin Huairu lay on her side beside him, with a dazed and absent-minded look in her eyes, and a few strands of hair stuck to her slightly flushed cheeks.

The floral shirt she was wearing half-covered, leaving faint marks on her exposed skin.

She had mixed feelings. On the one hand, she felt ashamed of her indulgence just now. On the other hand, the family's difficulties were like a mountain, weighing heavily on her heart, forcing her to continue testing the dangerous edge.

After a moment of silence, Li Huaide was the first to break the silence.

He turned sideways, his fingers gently slid across Qin Huairu's shoulders, a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he asked with a hint of teasing and pride: "Tell me, why are you in such a hurry to find me? Is there something wrong? Are you not satisfied with me sleeping with you four times a month? Hmm? Women's hearts are really unpredictable."

His voice was a little hoarse, but still had unquestionable majesty.

Qin Huairu's body stiffened slightly, and her thoughts were instantly brought back to reality.

She bit her lower lip, hesitated for a moment, and slowly said, "Director Li, I want to ask if the salary increase has been settled?"

There was a hint of urgency in her voice, and her eyes were full of anticipation and anxiety.

She prayed silently in her heart, hoping that Li Huaide would give her a positive answer for the sake of their relationship. Even if it was just a glimmer of hope, it would allow her to see a little light in this difficult life.

Li Huaide frowned slightly, the smile on his face gradually faded, he sat up, his expression became serious: "Didn't I tell you already? I will definitely think of you when I have the chance. Why are you still asking? Don't you believe me!"

There was obvious displeasure in his tone, and his eyes revealed the anger of being questioned.

He thought to himself, how could this woman be so ignorant of the rules? I have already given her many benefits, but she is still asking for more. She is so greedy.

Qin Huairu's heart tightened, and she quickly stood up and leaned towards Li Huaide, gently holding his arm with both hands, and said in a very gentle and pleading tone: "Director Li, please don't be angry. You also know the situation at home. The child is crying because of hunger, and I have to support my mother-in-law at home. I really have no other choice. My heart is extremely tormented and confused every day, so I can only bother you. Please be magnanimous, don't bother me."

Her eyes were red and tears were welling up in them, as if they would burst out at any second.

She felt like a drowning person, desperately grasping at the straw that might save her life, even though it was so fragile.

Li Huaide looked at her pitiful appearance, and the anger in his heart subsided a little.

He snorted softly: "I know about your situation, but the factory has its own rules. Your technical level is not up to standard, and you haven't been promoted yet. Even if there is a chance, it will be difficult for you to get a turn. Look at how you usually work, you are always clumsy, and your output and quality are not up to standard."

Although his words were still harsh, they were slightly softer than before, as if he was reprimanding an incompetent subordinate.

In fact, he was weighing the pros and cons in his heart. Although Qin Huairu was quite pretty, if he openly broke the factory rules for her, it would affect his reputation and status if the news got out. Qin Huairu was not worth his efforts.

Qin Huairu knew in her heart that what Li Huaide said was true, but how could she give up so easily.

She raised her head slightly, a hint of determination flashed in her eyes, and she once again exerted her charm.

She gently rubbed Li Huaide's chest and said in a tender voice: "Director Li, I know you love me the most. As long as you are willing to help me, I will definitely be able to become a regular employee. I will serve you well in the future, and I will do whatever you ask me to do and take care of you meticulously. Please show me a way forward."

Her voice became softer and softer, her eyes full of flattery and expectation.

She told herself in her heart that for the sake of her family and her children, she must fight for this opportunity no matter what, even if it means paying a higher price.

Li Huaide felt a little proud when he heard her words, but becoming a regular employee was not a trivial matter after all.

He gently pushed Qin Huairu away and said seriously, "I can't decide whether you can become a regular employee. You have to pass the assessment. You have to work hard to improve your skills. Don't always think of taking shortcuts by relying on me."

There was unquestionable authority in his eyes, as if he was setting boundaries for Qin Huairu.

He knew very well that he couldn't let go of this matter easily, otherwise there would be more trouble in the future.

Qin Huairu felt a chill in her heart when she saw this, but she still didn't want to give up this rare opportunity.

She suddenly approached Li Huaide again, put her arms around his neck, and gently threw him onto the bed, with a hint of determination and desire in her eyes.

She whispered in his ear, "Director Li, please help me. I know you have a way. As long as you help me this time, I am willing to do anything."

Her breathing was slightly rapid, and her warm breath sprayed against Li Huaide's ears.

She was no longer able to care about many things at this moment. There was only one thought in her mind, which was to make Li Huaide agree to her request, even if it meant using her own body as a bargaining chip.
