Chapter 703: Ask Tiedan to enter the kitchen

Ran Qiuye frowned thoughtfully, looked at Gu Nan and said, "You mean, Dad is afraid that we will be delayed by them? Afraid that some family background issues will affect us?"

Gu Nan nodded affirmatively, holding Ran Qiuye's hand, and said seriously: "Dad does think so. But don't worry, I have a way to deal with it. It's just that this matter can't be rushed, and we need to think about it in the long run. Don't worry, I will never let Dad suffer in this matter, I will definitely handle it well."

Ran Qiuye frowned slightly, with a trace of worry in her eyes, and looked at Gu Nan and asked: "I believe you, but can Mom live here peacefully forever? I'm still a little worried that something might happen."

Gu Nan gently held Ran Qiuye's hand, nodded affirmatively, and said, "Just put your mind at ease. Even if there is any trouble, it can't reach our house. Have you forgotten Heizi? With it guarding, ordinary people can't get in. Heizi is so smart, nothing will go wrong."

After hearing what Gu Nan said, Ran Qiuye's worries were slightly relieved. She nodded slightly, and the matter came to a temporary end.

At night, when it was time to go to bed, Gu Nan lay on the bed, looking at the deep night sky outside the window, thinking silently in his heart. He whispered to himself: "Even if trouble is really coming, it's no big deal. I can slowly find a chance to explain it to Lou Xiao'e, she should be able to understand." Gu Nan knew the situation of Lou Xiao'e's family very well. Now the situation has changed, and Sijiu City may not be able to spend money in the future. As a family with a certain foundation, if the Lou family can get their help, it may be more secure in this complicated situation.

The next morning, the sun shone softly into the room through the cracks in the window, and Gu Nan and Ran Qiuye got up early. Gu Nan looked at Ran Qiuye, his eyes full of concern and thoughtfulness, and said, "Qiuye, after you quit your job, stay at home and stay with mom. Don't worry about the livelihood of the family, I'm here, I can definitely support our family."

At this moment, Lou Xiao'e happened to push the door open and walked in. After hearing what Gu Nan said, she couldn't help but ask curiously, "Ran Qiuye, why do you want to resign? Isn't teaching good?"

Ran Qiuye smiled gently and explained, "Since I had a child, I feel my brain has been slowing down and I am unable to handle many things. Teaching is a job that requires a high degree of concentration. I really feel that I am no longer competent, so I plan to resign."

Lou Xiao'e tilted her head slightly, as if she didn't quite understand, but she didn't ask any more questions. She just said, "Okay, then I'll go play with Shiwan first. You guys chat." After that, she turned and left.

Gu Nan looked at Lou Xiao'e's departing back, then turned to Ran Qiuye and said, "When you come back, find a suitable opportunity to have a good talk with Lou Xiao'e and tell her that I can help her with that matter. After all, Xu Damao will be back soon, and she will definitely be worried about this."

Although Ran Qiuye was full of doubts and didn't understand why Gu Nan seemed to know everything, she knew that Gu Nan always had his own considerations and plans, so she said, "Okay, I know. Don't worry about it. Go to work quickly and don't be late."

Gu Nan nodded, said goodbye to Ran Qiuye, and came to the steel mill. He went straight to the back kitchen, and as soon as he entered the back kitchen door, he shouted loudly: "Zhong Yi, come out for a moment, I have something to tell you."

When Zhong Yi heard his master's call, he quickly put down his work, walked out of the kitchen obediently, and asked respectfully, "Master, what's the matter?"

Gu Nan looked behind him warily, and after making sure that there was no one else, he lowered his voice and said, "Okay, there is a child in our courtyard. I told you about his situation before. Let him become your apprentice tomorrow. I made this arrangement because I'm afraid that outsiders will think that I don't trust you. You should spend more time teaching him."

Zhong Yi nodded quickly and said, "I understand, Master. Don't worry, I will definitely teach him well."

Gu Nan saw someone in the kitchen seeming to be eavesdropping from the corner of his eye, so he deliberately raised his voice and pretended to be angry and said, "You have to investigate Zhong Yi's matter carefully. If you fail, you will get out of here. Do you understand?"

Zhong Yi was somewhat bewildered by his master's sudden anger, and stood there not knowing what to say. After all, he was just a chef, and was somewhat confused by the complicated arrangements made by his master.

Those who were eavesdropping in the kitchen were also frightened by Gu Nan's sudden outburst of anger. No one dared to move and could only stand there and listen.

After venting his anger, Gu Nan turned around and returned to his office. He sat at his desk, thinking that when Tiedan came to work at the steel mill, Banggeng would also go to the countryside. Banggeng was always causing trouble in the courtyard, and he was a nuisance. Going to the countryside might be a good destination for him, and it would also make the courtyard quieter.

In this way, a day passed quietly in the busyness. In the evening, Gu Nan returned to the courtyard and went straight to Tiedan's house, telling Tiedan that he would go to work in the steel mill tomorrow. When Tiedan heard this, an excited smile suddenly appeared on his face. He was so happy to have such an opportunity.

Gu Nan returned home and found that Lou Xiao'e had not left yet. Seeing Gu Nan coming back, Lou Xiao'e looked at him with a hint of inquiry and said, "Gu Nan, do you know something? It seems that you seem to know a lot of things recently."

Gu Nan smiled slightly and did not answer directly. Instead, he said, "I won't say much about why you married Xu Damao. But you have to understand the current situation. The situation is unpredictable now. I believe your family must be having a hard time."

Lou Xiao'e looked at Gu Nan: "My father said a lot after I went back, but he didn't have any ideas. After I returned to the courtyard, I didn't expect to hear Ran Qiuye say that she was going to resign. Is something going to happen?"

Gu Nan knew that these things could not be easily said, after all, he was just an engineer, but he still looked at Lou Xiaoe and Ran Qiuye: "I couldn't have said these things, after all, I heard about them when I went to the leader's house once, but it was very bad for you, so I reminded you."

Ran Qiuye still didn't understand, but Lou Xiaoe understood everything. She looked at Gu Nan and said, "Then what do you think our family should do?"

Gu Nan took a sip of water and said, "Your family is a landlord, and Xu Damao has been cruel to you now, especially since you didn't even ask for favors from Xu Damao in this matter."
