Siheyuan: Fighting against Japanese Aggression in Beijing

Chapter 171 The Miserable Qin Huairu

The next day, Li Kangri went to Li Huaide's office as soon as he got to work. When he arrived at the office, Li Huaide asked with a smile, "Brother Li, why are you so free today?"

"Haha, Brother Li, your memory is so bad! Have you forgotten what I told you last time?"

"Oh, sorry, sorry, I was so busy and forgot. I'll arrange it right away."

Li Huaide picked up the phone and dialed a number. "Hello, is this Lao Guo? This is Li Huaide. Please come to my office. I have something to talk to you about."

"Okay, Lao Li, I'll be right over."

……

"Haha, look, I'll do it for you right now." Li Huaide hung up the phone and said, "This widow, why would I bother you for no reason? How many times has this happened?"

"Haha, who said it wasn't true! They were causing trouble for me as soon as I entered the yard. I thought it was Zhuzi who was backing me up! Now Zhuzi has been brought here and they are causing trouble again. It's really annoying." Li Kangri said.

"Haha, it's okay. Let's teach her a lesson first. If she causes trouble for you again, I will find a way to get her out of her house." Li Huaide said.

"Haha, thank you Brother Li. By the way, Director Guo is coming. How about I step aside?" Li Kangri said.

"No need, we are all brothers. Lao Guo and I have a very good relationship, we are all family."

"Is that so? Fine then, I'll just drink some tea. I have nothing to do now anyway." As he said that, Li Kangri started to make tea for himself.

After a while, Director Guo arrived at the office. Seeing Li Kangri there, he greeted him, "Hey, Section Chief Li is here too! What do you want to talk to Director Li about?"

"Hello Director Guo, I'm fine, just coming over for a walk." Li Kangri said politely.

"Old Guo, we are all brothers, don't be so formal, come and sit down and talk." Li Huaide said with a smile.

"Okay," Director Guo sat down and said, "Director Li, tell me what you want. I'm still busy!"

"Okay, we are all brothers, so I'll get straight to the point," Li Huaide said, "Is there someone named Qin Huairu in your workshop?"

When Director Guo heard Li Huaide mention Qin Huairu, he looked at Li Huaide in confusion, then looked at Li Kangri, thinking, "Could it be that one of these two has taken a fancy to Qin Huairu? This is mine, and I haven't gotten her yet?"

"Old Guo, what are you staring at? I'm asking you a question." Li Huaide shouted.

"Yes, there is such a person, but why are you asking this?" Director Guo asked.

"Haha, look at the look in your eyes. It's not what you think. The situation is this. Qin Huairu has offended my brother Li, so I came to ask you if she is serious about her work. If not, she will be transferred to the sand casting workshop." Li Huaide said bluntly.

"Ah! This..." Director Guo looked at Li Kangri and said, "Chief Li, how did she offend you?"

"Old Guo, is this what you should ask? Just tell me if it's okay or not?" Li Huaide said with a grim expression.

"This... is a bit difficult. She usually does a good job at work!" Director Guo said.

"Director Guo, are you... hehe," Li Kangri said with a smile, "As far as I know, Qin Huairu's scrap rate is quite high. She has basically never successfully processed a single part, and her reputation in the workshop is not that good, right?"

"She just came in not long ago, and she hasn't learned this yet!" Director Guo explained, "As for word of mouth, what aspect are you talking about?"

"Old Guo, why do I feel like there's something wrong with you today?" Li Huaide asked angrily, "Are you attracted to her?"

After hearing Li Huaide reveal his thoughts, Director Guo's face instantly turned red, "That's not true."

"Lao Guo, you are my brother, one of us. Whether you have noticed or not, I remind you that the widow is not a good person. Don't set your sights on her. Just tell me if you can do it. If not, I'll find someone else to do it." Li Huaide said angrily.

"Yes, of course. I'll do it right away." Director Guo replied quickly.

He understood the meaning of Li Huaide's words. If he couldn't do it, he could replace him. Although Li Huaide was not his immediate superior, he knew that it would be easy for Li Huaide to replace him.

"That's right! She's just a widow, and she's a difficult one. Can't you tell the difference?" Li Huaide said, "Go do it now!"

"Okay, Director Li, I'll go right away." After saying that, Director Guo left the office.

"I think this Old Guo has his eyes on that widow," Li Huaide explained.

"Haha, Brother Li, you haven't seen it. That widow is very seductive. You'd better remind Director Guo that Widow Qin should not be touched, otherwise you will be dead. That widow looks like she will bring bad luck to her husband. Whoever touches her will die." Li Kangri said.

"If you say so, then so be it. I will remind him," said Li Huaide.

On the other side, in the fitter workshop, after some ideological struggle, Director Guo decided that keeping his job was the most important thing, so he walked directly to Qin Huairu's workstation, only to find that there was no one there.

"Where is Qin Huairu? Has anyone seen her?" Director Guo asked the female worker next to him.

"She's been out for a while. Director, you know she's always like this, right?" the female worker said unhappily.

"It's lawless, absolutely lawless. I think she doesn't want to work here anymore. When she comes back, tell her to come to me. I think I'll transfer her to the sand casting workshop for some training. Otherwise, she won't know what hardship is." Director Guo pretended.

"Director Guo, really? Can you bear with it?" the female worker asked.

"What are you thinking? Why can't I let her go? I gave her a chance before. It's not easy for an orphan and a widow. I didn't expect that she would be so... I can't say anything. That's it. Remember to come back and let her know."

After saying that, Director Guo went straight back to his office.
