Siheyuan: The Era of Struggle

Chapter 293 Liu Lan takes the first step
After getting rid of the tangle in his bangs, Sha Zhu returned to the cafeteria kitchen, picked up the teacup and was about to drink some water when he heard the sound of a woman talking beside him.

"Zhu Zi, are you okay?"

Hearing this, Sha Zhu turned his head to look at Liu Lan who was speaking, and said with a little doubt: "I am fine, what could happen?"

"Don't try to fool me. If you have nothing to do, you can just pull a face like someone owes you money. Tell me what's the matter and see if I can help you."

As she spoke, Liu Lan walked up to Sha Zhu and looked at him without blinking.

It was not only Sha Zhu who was confused by Liu Lan's inexplicable concern. Other people in the cafeteria also had all kinds of thoughts in their minds.

They always fight when they meet, but why are they doing this today? Is there something going on between them?

Liu Lan's man just ran off with someone else. Could it be that her family is in financial difficulty and wants to find Sha Zhu as a long-term meal ticket? This woman's reputation has not been very good recently.

It's easy for a man to chase a woman, and it's easy for a woman to chase a man. This initiative is so...

I heard that Shazhu's wife is pregnant. I'm afraid this newly married guy can't control that thing in his crotch, right?

……

"What is this woman after today?"

Sha Zhu was a little scared by the looks from everyone in the cafeteria, and after mumbling something in his mind, he quickly made up an excuse to explain to Liu Lan, "Oh my sister Liu, I'm really fine.

Isn't this making the shameless neighbor feel disgusted? "

Sha Zhu spoke in a loud voice and everyone in the cafeteria heard him, but there was no change in their expressions. They were all busy with their work while secretly talking to the two of them.

Liu Lan didn't care about the dirty thoughts of everyone in the cafeteria. She even hoped that everyone would misunderstand her!
"Tell me what disgusting things you have said, and let me learn something new."

After saying that, Liu Lan smiled and moved closer to Sha Zhu, deliberately putting on an ambiguous look.

There are always many gossips about a widow, not to mention that Liu Lan can be considered a beauty if she tidies up a little in the cafeteria.

There weren't many entertainment options these days, and now there was a scene of a pretty widow looking for a married man. The gossip flames in the hearts of everyone in the cafeteria suddenly ignited.

Even though Liu Lan's husband was not dead and she was not a widow, no one cared about it at the moment. Everyone just wanted to know whether the piece of meat in the cafeteria was really eaten by Sha Zhu as they guessed.

Don't be fooled by Shazhu's usual sweet talk, he is a coward when it comes to real action.

After taking two steps back and putting some distance between them and Liu Lan, Sha Zhu said with a red face, "Nothing...nothing serious. My neighbor asked me to get some...some food."

After saying that, he felt that this reason was a bit misunderstood, so Sha Zhu quickly made up for it: "I didn't agree, I rejected it directly, and I got angry after a few words."

Liu Lan heard this with a look of realization on her face and said, "Zhu Zi, I'm telling you that the factory is checking strictly now, so don't make mistakes just for the sake of being neighbors."

"Don't worry, Sister Liu. I can tell which is more important."

Seeing Sha Zhu's serious expression, Liu Lan felt that it was about time. She said with a smile, "You just know the plan," and turned back to the vegetable counter to continue cutting vegetables.

She thought about using her body to buy her brother a job, but without the confirmation, Liu Lan didn't want to really get herself involved.

He drank some water in a restless mood, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. He raised his hand to check the time, then Sha Zhu put down the teacup, stood up, and walked out of the cafeteria.

Sha Zhu could understand that Liu Haizhong was looking for a job for his son, but he couldn't understand why Liu Lan was doing such a weird thing.

If Liu Lan wanted to take advantage of him, no matter how narcissistic Sha Zhu was, he would never believe it. What could she want when he had no money and no power?

There must be something wrong when something is abnormal. If you can't figure it out yourself, find someone who can figure it out.

Thinking of this, Sha Zhu couldn't help but quicken his pace and rushed towards the steel plant's office building.

Arriving at the door of the security chief's office on the first floor of the factory office building, Sha Zhu raised his hand and knocked on the door while muttering that his second uncle must be there.

After knocking on the door, Sha Zhu saw that no one answered. He raised his hand and was about to knock again when he heard someone say, "Section Chief He is not here. What can I do for you, Zhuzi?"

Sha Zhu put down his hand that was about to knock on the door, turned his head and saw Officer Feng standing at the door of the Security Department.

"Secretary Feng."

After greeting him with a smile, Sha Zhu immediately asked, "Do you know when Section Chief He will be back?"

"I can't say for sure."

As soon as Secretary Feng finished speaking, the sound of He Yuanchao talking was heard in the corridor.

"Zhu Zi, why are you running to the security department instead of just going to work?"

"Second... Chief He, I'm here at the Security Department to talk to you... I want to talk to you about something."

Seeing his second uncle walking over with no smile on his face, Sha Zhu quickly changed the way he addressed him at home to the official name at the factory.

He Yuanchao never mentioned this matter, but Yu Li kept nagging about it when she was at home. Although Sha Zhu was a little reluctant, he finally nodded reluctantly for the sake of quieting his ears.

Seeing that the uncle and nephew had something to say, Secretary Feng nodded at them and tactfully returned to his office.

The uncle and nephew opened the door and entered the house. He Yuanchao picked up the thermos and poured a cup of hot water. Then he said to Sha Zhu, who was sitting at the desk, "Tell me, what do you want to see me at this time?"

Seeing that his uncle had a smile on his face, Sha Zhu opened his mouth and flattered, "Congratulations, uncle, for becoming a deputy director-level cadre..."

"Alright, alright."

Before Sha Zhu could finish his words, He Yuanchao interrupted him with a stern face, "If you have something to say, say it. If not, get back to work."

It’s not that He Yuanchao is unkind, but the steel plant had just been upgraded and there were a lot of things waiting to be done, so he had no time to chat.

After taking a look at He Yuanchao's expression and seeing that his second uncle was not really angry, Sha Zhu quickly told him about what happened between Liu Haizhong and Liu Lan.

After finishing the story, Sha Zhu took advantage of He Yuanchao drinking water to add another sentence.

"Uncle, I know what's going on with Liu Haizhong, but I really don't understand why Liu Lan did this."

After hearing what Sha Zhu said, He Yuanchao was so angry! What the hell is this?

Although he was angry, He Yuanchao still said patiently: "Whether it's Liu Haizhong or someone else who wants to use your connections to arrange a job, you just push it to me.

As for Liu Lan's matter, I won't say much. "

At this point, He Yuanchao put down the teacup in his hand and looked at Sha Zhu seriously and said, "If you don't live your life well, I will break your legs."

Sha Zhu was frightened by He Yuanchao's cold tone, and after calming down, he immediately said, "Uncle, don't worry, I will definitely live a good life.

If I had any unfaithful thoughts, you wouldn't have to break my legs, I would just find a puddle and choke to death."

After swearing and making a vow, Sha Zhu saw that He Yuanchao's face looked better and quickly said with a smile: "Second Uncle, I have finished talking about Liu Haizhong and Liu Lan.

I have something else you must help me with.”

Seeing Sha Zhu's solemn expression, He Yuanchao nodded and said, "What's the matter first?"
