Siheyuan: Qin Huairu relies on me

“Actually, there’s no festival…”

Zhao Xiyan recounted what had happened, causing Director Zhang and Captain Chen to frown at the same time.

"You are kidding me. Do you want to save someone at the cost of yourself?"

"Director, what do you want me to do?"

Zhao Xiyan said helplessly, "I'm the head of the Propaganda Department, and he's the deputy factory director... The situation is so critical, there's nothing I can do."

"Well."

Director Zhang fell silent.

She knew a little about Li Weimin's affairs, but it had nothing to do with her and she had no say in it.

"According to what you said, only Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong were present at the time? I'm afraid they won't testify for you." Captain Chen said seriously.

"I didn't want them to testify."

Zhao Xiyan curled his lips and said, "Besides, Li Weimin was just warning me... He didn't intend to kill me."

"Oh, what do you mean?" Director Zhang asked in surprise.

"If he really wanted to kill me, then the people who came today must be from the Ministry of Industry... at least they are from the security department of the steel mill. Is it necessary for him to report me to the street office?" Zhao Xiyan scolded with a smile, "He is asking you to warn me and let me know my position."

He knew very well that Li Weimin wanted to recruit him as his younger brother to fight against Yang Jianguo and others.

"So what are you going to do?" Captain Chen asked with interest.

"What can be done?"

Zhao Xiyan laughed and scolded, "He said that Liu Lan and I sneaked into the warehouse? I also said that his wife and I sneaked into the warehouse... There must be evidence for this, right?"

"It's not a good idea to refuse to admit it," Director Zhang scolded with a smile, "You are still young, and if the news of your bad work style gets out... it will have a great impact on your promotion."

"What about promotion? The leaders above have clearly told me not to think about promotion in the next five to ten years. Just stay here quietly." Zhao Xiyan chuckled, "If Li Weimin wants to have fun, then let him have fun."

"Ok?"

Director Zhang and Captain Chen looked at him, feeling quite surprised.

But I'm not too worried. This kid can make a living in the countryside, so the steel mill won't be a big problem.

"time to eat."

After Qin Huairu called out, Zhang Youyi hurriedly got up to help serve the dishes.

An Xin and Lin Lu have already set the table.

Zhao Xiyan invited Captain Chen and Director Zhang to join them, and both of them were amazed at the dishes on the table.

"He is a great writer after all. He has a lot of money."

"That's not true. His monthly royalties are equivalent to several years' salary for us..." Director Zhang scolded with a smile.

Zhao Xiyan opened a bottle of Moutai and poured it for the two of them personally.

"This cup is dedicated to the two of you, my parents. My family has been safe and sound during the two years I have been in the countryside... Thank you for your care."

"Look at what you said. What do you think our street is? A bandit's den, right?" Director Zhang said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"That's not the case. This cup should be yours."

Captain Chen laughed and scolded, "The women in your yard are law-abiding... Our streets are peaceful, so naturally there is nothing wrong. You are exaggerating."

"Okay, I'll drink three cups as punishment."

After Zhao Xiyan drank three cups of wine, he turned the mouth of the cup outwards.

"it is good."

Director Zhang and Captain Chen immediately applauded.

"Then let's go as friends."

Zhao Xiyan picked up the wine glass again.

"This cup should be drunk."

Director Zhang smiled and said, "It is our honor to be friends with the factory director."

"Isn't that right?"

Captain Chen also sighed, "At first, this guy refused to go to work... Now, he is ahead of us, a deputy director-level cadre. Wow, I don't know if I can reach this level in my lifetime."

"Everything depends on human efforts. Let's go." Zhao Xiyan said with a smile.

"cheers."

Everyone raised their glasses.

Ruan Baoer looked at the high-spirited Zhao Xiyan and her face suddenly blushed.

It's still the weekend after all.

Director Zhang and Captain Chen also drank a lot, about one and a half pounds each, before they stopped.

Zhang Youyi served hot tea and the few of them chatted for a while.

Director Zhang and Captain Chen said goodbye and left.

……

Zhao Xiyan sent the two of them to the door, and when he turned back, a group of girls were chattering.

"Xi Yan, are you okay?" An Xin asked worriedly.

"fine."

Zhao Xiyan shook his head and called Qin Huairu. After whispering a few words in her ear, Qin Huairu hurried towards the back door.

Yu Li and Yu Haitang wanted to talk to him, but when they saw that he was thinking about something, they gave up.

After all, a man’s work comes first, and other things can be discussed later.

That night.

Zhao Xiyan ignored Xu Damao and the others' shouting and went to bed early.

But when I was half asleep, a soft body crawled into the quilt.

"Brother, are you asleep?"

"Sleep."

Zhao Xiyan said with his eyes closed.

"You're lying! How can you talk when you're asleep?" Ruan Baoer said angrily.

"You already know, why are you asking?"

Zhao Xiyan turned his head and looked at Ruan Baoer.

He admitted that he was not a good man, but to be more hypocritical, he already had enough female confidants around him.

"Brother, I know you don't like me, but... we just met." Ruan Baoer hugged him gently, "I'm very good, I will listen to you and not cause you any trouble in the future."

"Bao'er, do you think it's worth it?" Zhao Xiyan said with a wry smile, "This is not the old society. You can find a clean family to marry. I can even introduce you to a cadre."

After he said these words, he blushed a little.

Bah, what a scumbag!

"Brother, Baoer is not that kind of person."

Ruan Baoer said seriously, "We are engaged... Then I will be a member of your Zhao family for the rest of my life. Even if I die, I will still be a ghost of your Zhao family."

"Don't you regret it?"

Zhao Xiyan combed her hair back.

"I regret not coming to you earlier."

Ruan Baoer's eyes suddenly turned red. "If I was by your side when Mom left...you wouldn't be so sad."

Even Zhao Xiyan, who had seen a lot of the world, was deeply touched by these words.

"Brother, I know you are worried about me..." Ruan Baoer said softly, "But since I came to see you, I have made preparations for you to get married. However...even if you get married, I still want to be with you."

"But what if you come here... and find out that I'm someone like Shazhu?" Zhao Xiyan asked suddenly.

"I……"

Ruan Baoer hesitated for a moment, took a deep breath and said, "That is my fate, I have to accept it, but I am lucky that I came here and met you."

Phew!

Zhao Xiyan couldn't help laughing.

"Silly Zhu, you admit it too? Really?"

“Recognize…recognize.”

Ruan Baoer said helplessly, "God didn't favor me and let me meet such a person. What can I do? We have an engagement, so we must abide by it."

"Silly girl."

Zhao Xiyan hugged her, but his hands became unclean.
