Siheyuan: Cao Liang's rise

"Yes Yes."

Looking at the girl in front of him cheering, Cao Liang really couldn't bear to tell the truth and could only nod perfunctorily.

Seeing that Cao Liang also agreed with her opinion, the girl became even happier.

"Comrade, you look quite young. Where do you go to school?"

Cao Liang answered honestly, "I'm not going to school anymore. My family is poor. I'm working at the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill now."

"I know that place. My father used to be a shareholder there."

The girl was surprised and said, "You look less than 20 years old! I didn't expect you're already working."

"Your last name is Lou?"

Cao Liang looked at her in shock.

He had already guessed the identity of the girl in front of him.

Could she be...

The girl nodded and said, "My name is Lou Xiao'e."

really.

Cao Liang didn't expect to meet her. Judging from her age, she is at most twenty years old.

That’s right, Xu Damao is only 22 years old and is not married yet.

"It's Miss Lou. Nice to meet you."

Cao Liang smiled faintly and said, "I have something else to do, so I'll leave first. You can take your time to read it."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Lou Xiao'e was immediately unhappy. She stopped in front of Cao Liang and asked, "Hey, what do you mean? Your attitude changed when you heard my name. Do you also despise my identity?"

Lou Xiao'e's eyes were red when she spoke.

She knew that her family background was not good, but this was not something she could choose. What could she do?

She finally met someone with the same hobbies as her, but she didn't expect that the other party would despise her identity. She felt very aggrieved.

Cao Liang shook his head. "Don't get me wrong. I really have something to do. I'm a purchaser for the steel mill. I'll be busy going to the countryside to make purchases later."

It's not that I dislike her, I'm just too lazy to associate with her.

Others might think that her family is rich and well connected, and that it would be a good thing to establish a relationship with them, but Cao Liang doesn't think so.

Because in a few years, her family will be liquidated, and she will have no choice but to leave.

By then, even if you just become friends with her, you might be implicated.

Therefore, there is no need for knowledge at all.

"Really? What's your name then?"

Lou Xiao'e was a little skeptical.

"My name is Cao Liang."

"Okay, since you have something to do, I'll treat you to a meal some other day."

When Cao Liang said her name, Lou Xiao'e finally believed it and said happily.

"No need to eat. I'm usually very busy."

Cao Liang shook his head to refuse, and was about to turn around and leave.

"and many more!"

Cao Liang turned back impatiently, only to hear Lou Xiaoe say, "I think I've seen you before."

Cao Liang raised his eyebrows.

I thought, she must have never seen me?

That day in the department store, he just took a look from a distance and didn't go over at all.

"I remembered."

Lou Xiao'e suddenly screamed.

It immediately attracted the attention of people reading around.

"Feel sorry."

Lou Xiao'e hurriedly bowed to everyone and apologized.

Then he looked at Cao Liang and said, "I remember now, you are the friend of that little gangster. I saw you with him in the department store that day."

Is it really a department store?

However, this little hooligan seems to be a suitable term to describe Wang Dong.

Who told this guy to chat up girls so often?

Cao Liang nodded helplessly and said jokingly: "Yes, his name is Wang Dong, he is my buddy, and he also said that he wants to marry you."

"That little brat?"

Lou Xiao'e curled her lips and said, "If I hadn't seen that he was young and just said a few words without taking any action, I would have asked the bodyguards to arrest him."

Cao Liang was ashamed.

He was not surprised at all that Lou Xiao'e was surrounded by bodyguards.

In other words, Wang Dong was almost arrested for flirting with someone? He was even about to be handed over to the police?

"Then I have to thank you for your generosity."

Cao Liang said, glanced at his watch, and apologized: "Sorry, I really have something to do, so I'll leave first. Goodbye."

After saying that, Cao Liang just slipped away. Lou Xiaoe had no choice but to stamp her feet in frustration.

As soon as Cao Liang came out of the library, he rode away on his bike.

I originally planned to come to the library to kill time, but I didn't expect to meet Lou Xiao'e.

It was so embarrassing that I was recognized.

It’s all Wang Dong’s fault. I was implicated by him.

But he doesn't want to go to work or go home now. Those guys are probably still sleeping.

After thinking about it, Cao Liang decided to go see his master.

It has been a while since I last visited my old master.

...

Came to the master's private courtyard.

Cao Liang grabbed a chicken from the space, took out a bottle of wine, and then went forward and knocked on the door.

As soon as the door opened, a joyful voice was heard.

"Brother Liangzi?"

Looking at the beautiful and youthful Liu Lili, Cao Liang nodded and said, "It's Lili! Are you here to see your grandfather again?"

"You're still saying that!"

Liu Lili said dissatisfiedly: "I have been living at grandpa's place since the holiday, but you have never come once. You are really unfilial. I was thinking of looking for you to play."

Cao Liang felt a little ashamed.

All these unfilial people have come out.

Did you not check the almanac today? Why am I so unlucky?

First, he was recognized by Lou Xiaoe, and now Liu Lili said this to him.

He spread his hands helplessly and explained: "I can't help it. You should know that I'm at work now and I'm usually busy with work."

"Yes, I met Dongzi and Mosquito last time, and they told me."

Liu Lili nodded and said, "I saw them some time ago and asked them to tell you to come and play with me. Didn't they tell you?"

"No! I moved yesterday and they went to warm up my house, but I didn't hear them mention it."

Cao Liang shook his head.

I mourn for both of them in my heart.

Sure enough, seeing that Cao Liang really didn't know, Liu Lili said angrily: "Great! How dare you treat me like that? The next time I see them, I'm going to beat them up."

Bro, I'm sorry.

I have no other choice but to let my friend die rather than myself.

Liu Lili is very cruel. I'm sure Dongzi and Mosquito will be in great trouble.

Cao Liang asked, "Is the master at home?"

Liu Lili nodded, "Yes, Senior Brother Chi is here too."

Oh.

Cao Liang responded and walked in.

I saw Master Liu Zhen instructing Chi Hu in practicing Kung Fu, and Chi Hu was pounding a wooden stake with great difficulty.

Hearing the noise, Chi Hu turned around and saw that it was Cao Liang, and hurriedly gave him a look for help.

I guess he was severely tortured by his master.

Cao Liang pretended not to see it, and smiled at Liu Zhen, "Master, I brought the ingredients, and Chef Lily is here too, shall we have a couple of drinks at noon?"

Chi Hu used to envy himself as his last disciple.

Now that he is being trained so rigorously, he should be happy, right?

As for the bitter expression on Chi Hu's face, Cao Liang just thought he was too happy.

"Okay! It's rare that a busy man like you still remembers an old man like me, so I must give you face."

Liu Zhen joked with a smile.

Cao Liang was ashamed.

This is because I visit him too seldom.

Seeing Cao Liang like this, Liu Zhen laughed and said, "Okay, I know you are busy with work. I will be very happy as long as you come to visit me when you are free."
