Chapter 383 A random bit of mandarin duck music
Lou Xiao'e came to the transport team excitedly to find Li Kailang.
"Where are the people? Where did they go?"
Lou Xiao'e walked around the two teams for a long time but still couldn't find Li Kailang.
Lou Xiao'e's arrival was really unfortunate. The first few days of the month were the busiest time for the transport team, as everyone was rushing to complete tasks. Naturally, there were not many masters staying in the transport team.
"Who is that person?" The apprentice at the side looked at Lou Xiao'e curiously as she was looking for someone.
"How should I know? Stop looking and get back to work. You have a lot to do today. Do you still want to get off work?"
"Why are you in such a hurry? It won't take long. This girl is pretty. I wonder whose daughter she is. Does she have a boyfriend?"
Seeing his companions so interested, he was speechless. No matter whose daughter this was, it was not something they could lay their eyes on.
Looking at the new clothes and the fabric, you can tell that she is either rich or noble. How dare you get to know her?
However, that girl is really pretty, and I don’t know whose daughter she is. I’ll go and ask around after get off work, maybe I can help her?
"Hey, stop looking and do your job. Do you know who that person is? Just look over there!" the master on the side shouted.
"Master, do you know?"
"Of course I know? Why? You have a crush on her, so give up now. She is not someone you can fancy," the master shouted.
The apprentice wanted to say something, but the master shouted, "Hurry up and work. There are a lot of things to do today. Do you want to work overtime?"
Hearing this, the apprentice immediately lowered his head to deal with the work at hand, but he was still calculating in his mind.
"Seeing you like that, I'll tell you who this girl is?"
"Look! This is the daughter of the former boss of our steel mill, you know? Her daughter eats and drinks well, do you think you can be interested in her?"
With just a few words, the disciple's inappropriate desire was extinguished.
Even though it is now a public-private partnership, Lou Zhenhua is no longer their boss nor their superior.
But the girl lives a life of luxury and it is not something that they, from such a small family, can bring home. It would be like marrying a living ancestor.
At this time, an old maintenance worker asked carefully, "Miss, who are you looking for?"
"I'm here to look for Master Li Kailang, why isn't he here?" Lou Xiao'e asked.
"You mean Master Li? He's out on a mission."
"Is that so? Then when will he be back?"
"I'm not sure about that. Their master is very busy at the beginning of the month, so I don't know exactly when he will be back. But he should be back at noon, after all, he needs to eat."
"Noon? Sure, thank you."
"You're welcome, Miss. If you have anything to do, just let me know. If you don't have anything to do, I'll get busy first."
"Ah."
The old master bowed slightly and left.
The younger generation could not recognize Lou Xiao'e, but the older generation could recognize her. Before the public-private partnership, they worked under Lou Zhenhua. How could they not know her?
If you bump into her, the lightest punishment would be expulsion from the steel mill, and the worst punishment is obvious.
If it weren't for the public-private partnership, they would have called her "Miss" before. It was only after the partnership that they called her "Miss" again.
Seeing this, Lou Xiao'e waited for Li Kailang to come back in the lounge.
"Work? It's so troublesome." Lou Xiao'e sat there bored, swinging her legs casually to kill time.
"It's really beautiful. Look at this chubby face. I wonder what it feels like to touch it?"
"Okay, stop dreaming. Didn't you hear what Master said? We can't afford her."
"So what? If you can't marry her, can't you just think about it? I don't know how Master Li did it, but he actually let Miss Lou wait here. It's amazing!"
A group of apprentices were whispering to one another, and even the masters were talking among themselves.
"This little Li is really good. He quietly got together with Director Lou's daughter. It's really fucking awesome!"
"Yeah, I don't know what tricks Xiao Li used to make Miss wait for him here so early in the morning. If I had this trick, it wouldn't have been so hard for me to date your sister-in-law."
"Yes." When they heard about getting married, everyone couldn't help but sigh. Comparing yourself with others will only make you angry.
Although the beginning of the month is busy, it is the end of the year after all, so it won’t be as busy as the beginning or middle of the year.
Lou Xiao'e didn't have to wait long before Li Kailang completed his task and returned to the steel mill.
Some masters also returned to the transport team, and when they saw Lou Xiao'e sitting in the lounge, none of them dared to go in and sit down.
The entire lounge was empty, without a trace of smoke.
Everyone was staying outside or sitting in their cars. Fortunately, the weather was cooler and the sun was still out.
Everyone prefers to stay outside where it’s warmer.
Li Kailang saw everyone like this as soon as he got off the car, and couldn't help but ask in confusion, "What's wrong with you?"
"Xiao Li, you're finally back. Someone is waiting for you inside?" A master kindly pointed to the lounge.
"Wait for me? Who?" Li Kailang was confused and guessed who they were. Director Yang, Secretary Wan, Deputy Director Li, Secretary Wen?
These people are not the kind of people who like to make a fuss. They won't drive everyone out to bask in the sun, nor will they wait here on purpose.
"You'll know if you go and see for yourself." The masters deliberately hid the secret and deliberately didn't say anything.
"What's there to hide?" Li Kailang walked into the lounge confused.
When Li Kailang saw Lou Xiao'e, he was immediately surprised, "Why are you here?"
As soon as she saw Li Kailang, Lou Xiaoe immediately stood up and came to his side, "Li Kailang, you finally come back. I've been waiting for you for a long time."
"Wait for me? What are you waiting for me for?"
"Of course I'm looking for you to play with!"
"Looking to me to play? What's fun about me? Stop joking. I'm still working. How can I play with you?" Li Kailang said helplessly.
"It's just a job. You can let someone else do it. There are so many people here, and you won't make a difference." Lou Xiao'e said as a matter of course.
She really wanted to play with Li Kailang, otherwise she wouldn't have said such things. It was a rare opportunity for her to get out, and she would be unhappy if she didn't have fun.
"This Master Li is really amazing. He actually knows Miss Lou and asked her to wait here. Could they be dating?"
A group of masters and apprentices lay at the door, watching the fun secretly.
"Of course, Master Li is really amazing. He actually managed to win over Miss Lou. He is indeed a very capable person."
"Damn it!" A group of apprentices gnashed their teeth and rubbed their collars in hatred. They were of similar age, but others became drivers.
Now he is actually dating Director Lou’s daughter. This is really infuriating.
When Li Kailang heard Lou Xiao'e's words, he couldn't help but feel ashamed. After all, she was Director Lou's daughter. If something could be solved with money, it would not be a problem.
"No, that won't do. This is my own business. I won't bother other masters." Li Kailang changed the subject and said, "By the way, don't you have to go to school today?"
As expected, Lou Xiaoe was diverted from the topic. "I have to go to school!"
"Then why didn't you go to school? Why are you here?"
"I don't want to go to school today, so I followed my dad to the steel mill to play with you."
"You're awesome!" Li Kailang pointed speechlessly and gave a thumbs up. Just because he didn't want to go to school, he didn't go to school.
If this happens in an ordinary family, if anyone dares to say that he doesn't want to play, he will be directly punished for mixed doubles.
"What about the studies you've fallen behind on?"
"Of course, I'll find a teacher for extra lessons. That's not difficult at all." Lou Xiao'e said as a matter of course.
As the daughter of Lou Zhenhua, Lou Xiao'e's academic performance was naturally good, ranking among the top in the class. Whenever she encountered any questions she didn't understand, she would ask the teacher to help her solve them.
The teachers were all happy to help her solve her problems. On the one hand, Lou Xiao'e had good grades, and on the other hand, Lou Zhenhua would give her some tuition fees every time she came to the Lou family.
One tutoring session can earn you a month’s salary, who wouldn’t want that?
"Forget it, I'm too lazy to talk anymore. It's just that you want to play with me, but I'm not free right now. I'm working now. If you want to play, come find me on the weekend."
"Ah, the weekend, that's still a long time away, can't I take a leave today?" Lou Xiao'e said unwillingly.
Li Kailang spread his hands and said, "I can't ask for leave. You know that the transportation team is busy at the beginning of every month. If I ask for leave today, other drivers will have to work overtime."
"You can't bear to watch other masters work overtime to complete the task. Besides, you don't have to play today. There will be plenty of time in the future."
"That's true." Lou Xiao'e nodded. What Li Kailang said made sense, but it was a rare opportunity for her to come out, and it would be a pity not to have fun.
Suddenly, a very loud sound was heard.
"I heard that someone is waiting for my apprentice. It seems that he has taken a fancy to my apprentice. Let me see whose daughter she is!"
Zhang Jinwu shouted in a loud voice, finally, his disciple finally got it and was finally going to have a relationship.
The two looked in the direction of the sound and saw that the crowd lying at the door watching the excitement had parted to form a path.
But I saw Zhang Jinwu and Lu Wenjiang walking towards me with their heads held high.
"Miss!" Zhang Jinwu shuddered involuntarily when he saw Lou Xiao'e. He wondered what he was talking about just now.
"Miss." Lu Wenjiang also shouted.
"Hello." Lou Xiao'e nodded. She had seen Zhang Jinwu before, but was not familiar with him. However, she had no impression of Lu Wenjiang.
"Master, Senior Brother." Li Kailang called out, and then introduced Lou Xiaoe:
"Xiao E, this is my master Zhang Jinwu, and the one behind is my senior brother Lu Wenjiang."
"Master Zhang, Master Lu." After Li Kailang's introduction, Lou Xiao'e's attitude became better.
At first, I thought they were strangers, so naturally my attitude was not that good. But since they were Li Kailang’s master and senior brother, I naturally had to be more enthusiastic.
Zhang Jinwu said carefully, "Miss, why are you here? We are all grown men. You are not wronged, are you? Did this brat offend you? I will teach him a lesson for you."
It's not Zhang Jinwu's fault. After all, he has worked in the steel rolling mill for more than ten years and has received a lot of favors from Lou Zhenhua. Naturally, he is more respectful to Lou Xiao'e.
Not only him, but all the old people in the steel rolling mill were very respectful to Lou Xiao'e. On the one hand, it was because of Lou Zhenhua, and on the other hand, it was because Lou Xiao'e was a girl.
When she heard that Li Kailang was going to be taught a lesson, Lou Xiaoe waved her hands and explained, "No, no, I'm here to play with Li Kailang."
"Play?" Everyone couldn't help but wonder, why would a young lady find an ordinary boy to play with? What's fun in that?
For a moment, everyone's imaginations ran wild, and it became more certain that the two were dating.
"This Li Kailang is a capable man. He actually made Miss Lou specially invite him to play. It seems that we can't offend him casually, otherwise..."
This child cannot be kept!
No, if we want to be close friends with this guy, we can’t offend him.
Of course, these thoughts were just jokes. The atmosphere in the transport team was still very harmonious, and there was no deep hatred or grudges.
"Miss." Before they could think for long, the driver, Uncle Zhang, came up and said, "The master wants to go back."
"Okay, I got it." Hearing that they had to go back, Lou Xiao'e felt quite disappointed. She hadn't even played yet and was going to go back. "Li Kailang, I'll come and play with you this weekend."
"Okay, see you this weekend."
"Let's go. Bye." After saying hello, Lou Xiao'e followed the driver Uncle Zhang back.
After Lou Xiao'e walked away, everyone couldn't help but give Li Kailang a thumbs up.
"Master Li, you are awesome. When did you start dating Miss Lou?"
"There's nowhere to go, we're just ordinary friends." Li Kailang explained.
"Master Li, please don't lie to us. If we were just ordinary friends, why would Miss Lou go out of her way to find you and come to see you early this morning?"
"Yes, Master Li, stop pretending and tell us how you met."
"We are just ordinary friends, don't think too much about it." Li Kailang explained again.
But the more Li Kailang explained, the less people believed him. "Master Li, isn't it just a relationship? There's no need to be so secretive. We all understand."
"Yes, Master Li, don't be shy. You are already an adult, and it is time for you to get married. It is not shabby."
"Yes, Master Li, what have you and Miss Lou discussed so far? When are you getting married? We can go to the wedding!"
"Correct!"
Suddenly, everyone started to make a noise, clamoring to drink Li Kailang's wedding wine.
"Our Master Li is really amazing. He is a college student and he was able to marry Miss Lou. He is able to start a family and a career at the same time."
Li Kailang was helpless about everyone's random matchmaking. He tried to explain for a long time but everyone ignored it. He was too lazy to refute and just let everyone think whatever they wanted.
"Oh, by the way, Master Li, how did you and Miss Lou meet? Can you tell us about it so that the younger generation can find a partner."
"Yes, Master Li, I am not a child anymore, you have to teach me." The apprentices started to make a fuss again.
Looking at the mess, Zhang Jinwu noticed Li Kailang's helplessness and shouted:
"Alright, alright, just a few jokes, you really took it seriously, Miss Lou is the one you can talk to, why don't you go to work."
After Zhang Jinwu spoke, everyone immediately stopped wanting to play and left.
"Xiao Li, go to the office and explain in detail."
The three of them came to the office. Zhang Jinwu said, "Xiao Li, what's going on? How did you and Miss Lou know each other?"
Li Kailang then explained: "Master, Lou Xiao'e and I met by chance. We were camping at the beginning, and I gave them a few roast chickens."
Li Kailang explained how they met one by one, but omitted the fact that Xu Damao followed Lou Xiao'e and some other things.
Hearing this, Lu Wenjiang said, "So, you really just met her by chance. Don't you have any idea about targeting Miss Lou? She is Director Lou's daughter."
Li Kailang said unhappily, "What do you think? What is Miss Lou's status? What is my status? Can I get close to her?"
"Besides, she is not only a minor, but also someone who has vowed to go to college. How can I be in a relationship with her? We are just ordinary friends."
"Brother, are you also trying to arrange a marriage?"
"No, no." Lu Wenjiang waved his hand.
Zhang Jinwu looked at Li Kailang with no thoughts in his eyes and understood what Li Kailang really thought.
"Alas, what a pity! I thought you and Miss Lou were getting along. I was thinking about getting a disciple as soon as possible."
Hearing this, Li Kailang rolled his eyes.
"Master, you don't need me to hold your grandson. My sister-in-law will be able to give birth in half a year. It's too late for me to rush."
Zhang Jinwu: "That's true, Xiao Lu, you have to pay more attention to Xiao Luo. She should have everything she needs to eat and drink."
"Don't worry, Master. Now the whole family loves Xiao Luo. Whenever she is at home, my mother won't let her do anything. I even wanted her to take maternity leave, but she refused to listen."
Luo Ruiyun started to be pregnant in May. She is now 5 months pregnant. She will probably give birth in March next year, so it is still a long way off for now.
Seeing the topic being changed, Li Kailang breathed a sigh of relief.
But it was obvious that Zhang Jinwu was not as good as he expected.
"Xiao Li, forget about Miss Lou's matter, but you have to hurry up and find a wife. You are not a child anymore, you can't delay."
"I got it." Li Kailang replied helplessly. They had agreed before that he didn't need to find a partner during school, but now she is urging him to do so.
Zhang Jinwu waved his hand and said, "Okay, if you have nothing else, you two can go out."
