Chapter 712 Director Li threatens Gu Nan
Director Li was almost mad at Gu Nan's cold attitude, but he could do nothing about it. After all, without Gu Nan's food, he couldn't discuss his important business. He could only suppress his anger and said, "Director Gu, it's really a good thing that I came to you. It will definitely be good for you."
Gu Nan still looked at him with a vigilant expression and said, "What good news? Let me be frank with you. I won't beg for mercy for you. Don't even think about it."
Director Li was so angry that his face turned red. He actually didn't care about the meager salary of the steel mill at all. What he cared about most now was where Gu Nan got the vegetables from. He gritted his teeth and said, "Gu Nan, this is really a rare opportunity. As long as you are willing to listen to me..."
Gu Nan interrupted him without waiting for him to finish, saying, "I'm sorry, I don't believe you. I really can't trust people like you." After saying that, he left without looking back.
Director Li looked at Gu Nan's departing back, stamped his feet in anger, and said with gritted teeth: "Gu Nan, you really don't know what's good for you! Let's wait and see how I deal with you!"
As Gu Nan walked, he thought to himself that he basically had no enemies in the steel mill now. What he didn't expect was that He Yuzhu also wanted to get involved in this matter. It seemed that he had to teach He Yuzhu a lesson sometime to let him know that there were some things he couldn't just interfere with.
Gu Nan didn't take Director Li's dirty tricks seriously at all. In his opinion, Director Li had already reached such a state, and instead of trying to find a way to deal with the mistakes he had made, he actually had the time to threaten him, which was really ridiculous.
In the evening, Gu Nan ended the dispute in the factory and returned home exhausted but with a sense of victory. As soon as he entered the door, Ran Qiuye came up to him and said with a faint smile on her face: "Tomorrow is the weekend. I think you should go to Sister Xiao'e's parents' house alone."
Gu Nan was slightly stunned, then smiled and joked: "It's not right for a grown man like me to go to Lou Xiao'e's house alone. If you don't want to go, then I won't go either. Besides, we're going to the restaurant tomorrow, and I'm a married man now. It would be embarrassing if I went to meet Lou Xiao'e's parents with her."
Ran Qiuye smiled and said, "How can I not trust you? It's just that I'm afraid to take the child with me. What if the child cries or something happens and people laugh at me?"
Gu Nan smiled and touched Ran Qiuye's head, saying, "Our child is naturally smart. Besides, we can't let the child stay at home all day long. We have to take him out to meet different people and broaden his horizons."
Ran Qiuye was speechless after hearing what Gu Nan said. She smiled helplessly and said, "Okay. By the way, what interesting things happened in the steel mill today? Tell me about it. I've been at home all day and I'm really bored."
Gu Nan then told Ran Qiuye everything that happened at the steel mill, from Director Li's conspiracy to Ma Hua's betrayal, and how he exposed Director Li's evil deeds. Ran Qiuye's eyes widened and he said angrily, "I didn't expect Director Li to be such a jerk. He obviously stole the vegetables himself, but not only did he not admit it, he even dared to threaten you. It's really too much!"
Gu Nan gently patted Ran Qiuye's hand and consoled her with a smile, "Okay, a bad guy wouldn't admit he's a bad guy. But now, let's see what tricks he can come up with. I want to see what else he can do."
At the same time, He Yuzhu also heard about what happened in the steel mill. He really didn't expect that Ma Hua, who seemed honest on weekdays, had been acting. At first, he wanted to find Ma Hua to find out what was going on, but then he thought that Ma Hua was Gu Nan's man now, and if he rashly went to find him, he might not get any good results. For a moment, he didn't know what to do.
He Yuzhu was now filled with worry, and what he feared most was that Gu Nan would retaliate against him. After all, although he was not directly involved in this matter, he was the one who introduced Ma Hua to Director Li. Now that such a big thing had happened, Ma Hua would definitely expose him. In this case, Gu Nan would definitely put the blame on him.
The more He Yuzhu thought about it, the more flustered he became. He had originally planned to live a peaceful life, but he never thought that he would be dragged into this matter. Now, Director Li has been dismissed and sent home, but he is still deeply involved in it and doesn't know how to get out.
He Yuzhu was walking home in a daze, and was spotted by Lu Jia. Seeing that he looked unhappy, Lu Jia walked up to him and asked with concern, "Brother Zhuzi, what's wrong with you? You don't look well."
He Yuzhu forced a smile and said, "It's nothing. I'm just going home to cook for you."
Lu Jiake didn't believe him, shook her head and said, "Brother Zhuzi, don't hide it from me. I can see that you are in a bad mood. Let's eat outside today and have a drink. You can tell me what happened. Maybe you will feel better after you tell me."
He Yuzhu hesitated for a moment, finally nodded and said, "Okay, then let's go for a good stroll, eat something delicious, and drink some wine." He Yuzhu thought to himself, anyway, what has been done is done, and the matter is settled. Even if Gu Nan wants to cause trouble for him, he can't do anything to him casually.
He Yuzhu and Lu Jia were having a lot of fun playing outside. Lu Jia was lively and cheerful, and she kept making witty remarks along the way, making He Yuzhu laugh constantly. The troubles about Gu Nan were gradually forgotten in the laughter. The two of them shuttled through the streets and alleys, sometimes stopping to appreciate the small gadgets on the street, and sometimes tasting special snacks, enjoying this pleasant time.
When He Yuzhu and Lu Jia returned to the courtyard, night had already fallen quietly, and the courtyard was filled with a quiet and peaceful atmosphere. Coincidentally, they happened to meet the deaf old lady.
He Yuzhu couldn't understand why the deaf old lady was always unfriendly to Lu Jia. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he didn't want them to have too much contact, so he quickly said to Lu Jia: "Lu Jia, you should go back and rest first. You are tired from playing today."
Lu Jia was so smart that she understood what He Yuzhu meant immediately. In fact, she herself was not very willing to deal with this deaf old lady, so she nodded gently and said obediently: "Okay, Brother Zhuzi, I'll go back first." After that, she walked straight to her residence.
He Yuzhu looked at Lu Jia's back until she disappeared from his sight, then he turned to look at the deaf old lady, and asked with a hint of confusion and concern on his face: "Old lady, it's so late, what are you doing?"
