"Yes, eat quickly.

We can't let our little darling starve.

I feel uncomfortable watching that fat boy He Qing gaining weight. "

The old man pinched Xu Shaochen's cheeks, and the family's laughter and joy, along with the aroma of food, warmed the entire courtyard.

At the dinner table, Zhu Zirui faced the delicacies that had made him salivate in the past, but unexpectedly found them difficult to swallow.

His eyes moved between his godfather, Xu Damao, and Lou Xiaoe, who was carefully peeling shrimp for Xu Shaochen. He muttered to himself, "These two are really generous and fat. They don't talk about business, but only care about enjoying the peace in front of them.

Well, someone has to steer the conversation back to business, but everyone is just acting like nothing happened."

As time passed, the atmosphere at the table remained calm.

It seemed as if the changes in the outside world had nothing to do with them.

Zhu Zirui finally couldn't hold back any longer, and turned to Xu Shaochen with concern, "Chenchen, it's not peaceful outside right now, you mustn't run around, just stay at home and play, okay?"

Xu Shaochen's mouth was full of food, but he still nodded obediently and agreed: "Uncle, I remember, I won't run around."

Seeing that no one responded, Zhu Zirui could only smile bitterly and praised: "Chenchen is so well behaved and the most sensible."

Then, he raised the wine glass in his hand, turned to the old man and said, "Godfather, I toast you. Today in the factory, I witnessed your demeanor with my own eyes. You are really strong even at old age. One person can defeat thousands of troops!"

Hearing this, the old man slowly raised his small and exquisite wine cup and drank it all in one gulp, appearing calm and unhurried.

Seeing this, Zhu Zirui thought to himself that the old man was using a small wine cup, but Xu Damao and the others were using two-liang wine glasses.

If you take a sip of this, you will be completely confused.

His eyes rolled, and he came up with a plan. He turned to Xu Damao and said with a smile: "Brother-in-law, I'm toasting to my godfather, shouldn't you also show some appreciation and sponsor something?"

Xu Damao was busy picking up food for his wife. He looked up when he heard this, and said in confusion: "What am I sponsoring? This is the wine you toasted me with."

Before he finished speaking, Xu Shaochen, the clever boy, patted Xu Damao's arm with his little hand. There were still food residues on his greasy little hand. He blinked his big eyes and said, "Dad, can't you see? Uncle wants you to say a few words!"

Xu Damao smiled disdainfully, wiping his sleeves soiled by his son with a tissue, and scolded him, "You're everywhere, and you eat like a rice pear flower."

If you dare to mess up your clothes, I will teach you a lesson."

After being scolded by his father, Xu Shaochen remained silent, thinking to himself: "Uncle, I have repaid the eight dollars, and you have to figure out what to do next."

The little one patted his round belly and announced in a childish voice, "Mom, I'm full." Lou Xiao'e gently wiped the corners of his mouth and said, "Son, go play on the sofa."

As soon as she finished speaking, her godmother stood up and said with a smile: "Come, my dear grandson, grandma is full too. I'll take you to the house to hunt for treasure." When Xu Shaochen heard this, his eyes lit up and he excitedly followed his grandmother into the house.

After eating a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs, Lou Xiao'e put down her chopsticks, her expression became serious, and she looked at the old man sitting opposite her and said, "Godfather, can you tell us what happened today?"

The old man did not respond directly. Instead, he glared at Zhu Zirui, who was giving Lou Xiaoe a thumbs-up but looking embarrassed, and angrily shouted, "Fuck you, you ran around for two miles because of a word.

It was like squeezing toothpaste, not even a complete fart came out!"

Zhu Zirui quickly suppressed his smile and said with a wry smile: "Can I not go around? Who knows if you will scold me again."

Before he finished speaking, the old man slammed his chopsticks on the table with a "bang", causing the dishes to tremble slightly.

"Then I asked you, and now you've been scolded by me before you even ask the question. Could there be a worse outcome than this?"

Zhu Zirui shook his head helplessly.

"Okay! Since this is the worst possible outcome, why are you still so afraid of everything?

Either don't even think about it, or if you do think about it you must have the courage to not fear death.

When you can't solve a problem yourself and have nowhere to turn to for help, the right thing to do is to move forward courageously.

Look at you, you've been procrastinating for a long time and wasting time.

If you had asked directly at the beginning, you might have the answer by now.

To put it another way, even if I didn’t tell you and still scolded you, what did you lose?

It's just a little more frustrating, but it's better than being indecisive like now!"

These words left Zhu Zirui speechless, but also made him wake up from his dream.

Indecision only wastes time and opportunities.

In contrast, Sister E's decisiveness and directness, like a mirror, reflects his own hesitation and powerlessness when facing problems.

He stood up, paced back and forth for a few steps, sat back in his chair, chuckled, patted his thigh and said, "Godfather, you taught me the right lesson.

I was afraid of everything, but in the end I got nothing and was just scolded.

Sister E’s is straightforward and direct.

Compared with my procrastination, haha, I understood it immediately.

From now on, I have to learn to be as crunchy as Sister E.

No matter what it is, just do it first!

Whether it succeeds or not, at least I won’t regret it.”

After Zhu Zirui expressed his determination, he immediately asked, "No, godfather, then tell me, what happened today?"

After saying that, he stared at the old man with a questioning look on his face.

It was as if all previous hesitation and doubt had been swept away in one go.

Xu Damao was amused when he saw his expression and gave him a thumbs up: “Ruizi, you are really this.

A real man is like tofu, he can bend and stretch as needed.

That’s the style you have to have.”

"Brother-in-law, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you should learn more from me in the future.

There is no harm in specifying it.”

The old man looked at Zhu Zirui, who had become heartless again, and said, "You can't even play with someone's son, and you still flatter him and dare to say anything."

"Godfather, please stop bullying me and get to the point.

My curiosity is about to explode." Zhu Zirui urged.

Xu Damao cleared his throat, leaned forward, and said in a low voice, "I'm going to the meeting on behalf of the director today.

At the meeting, Deputy Director Li was really angry.

I got really angry..."

"What?" Zhu Zirui was so shocked that he almost fell off his chair.

"No way? You're not mistaken, are you?"

Xu Damao rolled his eyes at him and said, "Can you please stop being so startled?"

Zhu Zirui looked incredulous: "No way?

How could someone deliberately target our steel mill?"

He suddenly thought of something, "Could it be that he is targeting Li Huaide? Has he offended someone?"

Xu Damao shrugged: "I don't know about that.

That was all that was said at the meeting.”

Zhu Zirui frowned and muttered to himself, "Could it be that Li Huaide's romantic debt is causing trouble again?"
