Love in the Courtyard: Starting with Engineers

The next day, Li Yu went to the steel rolling mill as usual.

Li Yu had barely arrived at the office when Zhou Qiming pressed her for answers:

"Director Li, I heard that you and Bai Ling were kidnapped yesterday?"

"Tell me what happened quickly."

Upon hearing Zhou Qiming's question, Li Yu asked in confusion, "How did you know?"

"Hey! I heard that my family lives in the same compound as Bai Xiaoling's family."

"How are you? You weren't hurt yesterday!"

Seeing Zhou Qiming's expectant look, Li Yu knew that if he didn't finish talking to him today, Zhou Qiming would torment Li Yu all day.

So he picked out the things he could say and told them to Zhou Qiming.

Then Li Yu remembered Bai Ling's instructions to him and quickly told Zhou Qiming not to go out and talk nonsense.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Qiming said, "I dare not talk about Bai Ling's matter. She almost beat me to death when she got back from what happened in the office last time."

Li Yu didn't expect Bai Ling to go to Zhou Qiming later. It seems that this kid is quite afraid of Bai Ling.

For the rest of the day, Li Yu's office was constantly visited by various leaders who were on good terms with him, all of whom were concerned about whether he was injured.

Because he broke into Yang Weimin's house at night, the whole family compound knew about it.

In particular, Li Jianshe and his wife were so worried that they didn't sleep well all night. As soon as Zhou Qiming left, Li Jianshe came to see Li Ming.

He asked Li Ming to come to his house today, but Li Yu declined because he planned to finish drawing the blueprints for the top and bottom blown converter as soon as possible.

Later, Li Huaide arrived, and Li Yu asked him if he was going to become the director of the steel rolling mill.

Unexpectedly, Li Huaide said that he was not punished this time only because Li Yu was not in trouble; otherwise, he might not have been able to keep his position as deputy factory director.

Everyone who ate with him yesterday received a demerit; Li Yu never expected this outcome.

Although Yang Weimin's incident caused a stir at the steel rolling mill in the first few days, it didn't last long and was gradually forgotten by everyone.

Almost a month passed in Li Yu's busy schedule.

As usual, Li Yu rode his bicycle back to the courtyard house after get off work, and as soon as he entered, he met Yan Bugui, who was "guarding the gate".

At first, Yan Bugui always tried to take advantage of Li Yu whenever he met him. However, after being dealt with by Li Yu several times, he not only failed to gain any advantage but also had two pots of well-maintained orchids taken away by Li Yu.

From then on, he dared not have any thoughts when he saw Li Yu return.

"Hey, Brother Li is back."

"Hmm, Teacher Yan didn't tend to your potted plants today?"

When Yan Bugui heard that Li Yu was eyeing his flowers again, he quickly said, "No more! No more! They've all been given away."

Actually, he just covered the chickens with a cage.

Li Yu was just teasing him and didn't intend to take it, because he didn't like any of the rest.

Just as Li Yu was about to open the door, he found it had already been opened.

As soon as Li Yu opened the door, he smelled the delicious aroma coming from the kitchen.

Bai Ling came out wearing an apron and carrying a bowl of soup.

Li Yu said in surprise, "I thought you weren't coming."

Previously, when Li Yu called Zhao Tiezhu to ask about Bai Ling, Zhao Tiezhu told him to ask Dong Aiguo.

Li Yu found Dong Aiguo, who told him that Bai Ling had gone on a mission and refused to say anything else.

I never expected Bai Ling to come back today.

Seeing Li Yu's surprised expression, Bai Ling said with a smile, "If I hadn't come back, you probably wouldn't have eaten all day. Look, the rice jar at home is empty."

What Bai Ling didn't know was that Li Yu's daily meals were stored in the system space.

Because Li Yu discovered that Bang Geng had his eye on his house and was constantly looking at it.

Li Yu smiled awkwardly: "I just haven't had time."

While Li Yu and Bai Ling were having dinner, Li Yu asked, "What missions have you been on lately?"

Bai Ling replied while eating, "I went to the South."

As soon as Li Yu heard that they were going to the "South," he knew exactly where they were going.

"What are you going over there for?"

Bai Ling, with a mouthful of rice in her mouth, said, "It can't be just them coming, we can go too."

"This is called 'it is impolite not to reciprocate.'"

Next, Bai Ling told Li Yu the whole story. Bai Ling's trip almost paralyzed the opposing intelligence agency, and most of its high-ranking leaders were executed.

From now on, the mere mention of a mission in Beijing will likely send chills down the spines of those on the other side.

That day, Li Yu had just arrived at the steel rolling mill when Li Huaide called him to his office.

Li Huaide frowned and said to Li Yu, "The director of the steel rolling mill has been arranged."

Li Yu raised an eyebrow and said casually, "Oh?"

Seeing his nonchalant attitude, Li Huaide said, "This time, a big shot has arrived! We'll probably have to be careful of this guy from now on."

Li Yu became curious upon hearing Li Huaide's words. What kind of background could make Li Huaide, who had a vice minister father-in-law, so cautious?

Li Huaide continued, "The person who came is my classmate from university, Zheng Qiushi."

"His father is the Executive Vice Minister of the Organization Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. Even the Minister of Industry has to give his father some face."

"Not only that, but he studied in Russia for several years and only returned this year."

Upon hearing this, Li Yu realized why Li Huaide was so cautious; this man not only had a powerful background but also an excellent resume.

Li Yu said nonchalantly, "Regardless of his background, we should just do our own thing."

"Anyway, my little corner of the world has to listen to me."

Unexpectedly, Li Huaide said, "It's difficult! Because my old classmate is not only tough and extremely controlling, but also holds grudges."

"He'll probably be at the steel rolling mill soon, let's go pick him up!"

"Alright! Let's see what kind of person he really is."

Two groups of people, led by Li Huaide, stood at the main gate of the steel rolling mill.

Li Yu and Li Huaide stood at the front of the crowd, watching a jeep approaching from afar.

Sitting in the car were Zheng Qiushi, who had come to report on his work, and his secretary, Ma Wude.

The jeep pulled up in front of everyone. A thin man with glasses and triangular eyes got out of the passenger seat first and jogged over to open the door for the people in the back.

A man dressed in a Zhongshan suit, carrying a briefcase and with his hair neatly combed, slowly walked up to the crowd. He handed the briefcase to the man wearing glasses, who bent down slightly to take it.

Li Huaide smiled and said to the visitor, "Welcome, Director Zheng!"

"Haha! You're too kind, old classmate," Zheng Qiushi said, patting Li Huaide on the shoulder.

Li Huaide turned to the crowd and said, "This is Zheng Qiushi, the future director of our steel rolling mill! Please welcome him!"

Everyone applauded Zheng Qiushi in welcome.
