Chapter 821 Xiao Lei is willing
Everyone was silent after hearing this. After all, no one wanted to go to jail for such a small sum of money. At this time, a young man stood up. His name was Xiao Lei. With a firm look in his eyes, he said, "I am willing to do this, but I need money. My mother is sick and needs money for surgery. I really have no other choice."
The leader looked at Xiao Lei with a wave of emotion. He knew Xiao Lei's family situation: his mother was ill and bedridden, and their family had long been destitute. If it weren't for his mother's medical treatment, Xiao Lei wouldn't have easily accepted this difficult task.
So, the leader took out fifty yuan from the hundred yuan bill, handed it to Xiao Lei, and said, "Xiao Lei, you have to handle this matter well. Your mother's illness is serious, so use this money to treat her first. After that, I will find a way to send you to prison. Just follow the plan."
Xiao Lei looked at the money in his hand, tears welling in his eyes. He knew this was his mother's life-saving money. He clutched the money tightly and said excitedly, "Don't worry, Boss, I will definitely take care of this for you. I will not let you down, nor will I betray Miss Lou's trust." At this moment, in Xiao Lei's heart, his mother's life and this promise had become his driving force.
The leader nodded slightly, a look of satisfaction on his face, and then fell silent. In his mind, Xiao Lei was the perfect person to handle this matter. After all, Xiao Lei was no ordinary person. He had been practicing martial arts since childhood, and his skills were truly remarkable. Among their group, Xiao Lei's strength was undeniable. Sending Xiao Lei out, the leader felt that the matter would most likely be resolved smoothly.
Lou Xiao'e was in high spirits, her face beaming with joy as she happily prepared to return home. However, she knew she couldn't stay at Gu Nan's house forever; it wasn't a long-term solution. After a moment's deliberation, she decided to head to her other residence. It was a quiet little courtyard. While not as spacious and comfortable as Gu Nan's, it was warm and cozy, offering a peaceful escape from her busy schedule.
The night passed quietly in silence, and in the blink of an eye, the morning sun shone through the cracks in the window and onto Gu Nan's face. Gu Nan slowly woke up, stood up and walked to the window, looking at the sky outside. He frowned slightly and said, "The weather looks a bit gloomy today, but it doesn't affect my good mood."
Ran Qiuye had just finished washing up and walked into the room. When she heard Gu Nan's words, she couldn't help but ask curiously, "What's wrong? What happened to make you so happy?"
Gu Nan turned his head and looked at Ran Qiuye with a smug smile on his face: "There's nothing special, it's just that I am now the deputy factory director. This is a new starting point. Since I have a new identity, I naturally can't slack off and can't be late. I'll go first." After that, he kissed Ran Qiuye lightly on the cheek and hurried out to work.
Ran Qiuye looked at Gu Nan's departing back, a gentle smile appeared on her face. She didn't say anything more, but was silently happy for him.
Qin Huairu went out as usual and happened to see Gu Nan at the entrance of the alley. She was moved, remembering that she had offended Deputy Director Li and her future was uncertain, so she wondered if she could find a way out from Gu Nan. So, she quickly quickened her pace, stepped forward, stopped Gu Nan, and said with a flattering smile, "Gu Nan, I know I was wrong about what I did before. Since you are so magnanimous, could you please give me a chance? I promise to listen to you from now on and I will definitely be your man."
Gu Nan stopped and just looked at Qin Huairu quietly, his heart full of surprise. He really didn't expect that Qin Huairu was so shameless. After doing such a thing, she could still come to him so shamelessly to beg him.
Seeing that Gu Nan didn't respond immediately, Qin Huairu thought he was hesitating and hurriedly continued, "Gu Nan, look, although I'm only a first-level fitter and my skills aren't great, Uncle Yi Zhonghai is different. He's now a fifth-level fitter. You've just become deputy factory director, and there will definitely be a lot of things to do in the factory. You'll need help, and Uncle Yi is very experienced in technology. If he can be of use to you, he'll definitely be of great help."
Gu Nan had never imagined that Qin Huairu was actually threatening him in disguise. He had originally not intended to dwell on it, but Qin Huairu's words changed his mind. It seemed necessary to teach some people a lesson, to let them know that there were certain things they couldn't do recklessly.
Gu Nan sneered twice, looked at Qin Huairu, and said disdainfully: "You are a first-level fitter, and there is Yi Zhonghai, hehe..." The two "hehe" were full of endless sarcasm. After that, he walked straight forward and did not take Qin Huairu's words to heart at all. After all, in his opinion, this had little to do with him.
Qin Huairu wanted to catch up and say something, but at that moment, He Yuzhu and Lu Jia came out from the side, also preparing to go to work. Qin Huairu saw this and forced a smile on her face. Just as she was about to speak, He Yuzhu just glanced at her lightly, and then left with Lu Jia without looking back. He Yuzhu had already made up his mind to draw a clear line with the Jia family and no longer wanted to have anything to do with them.
Qin Huairu watched He Yuzhu's departing figure, her heart aching with anger. She hadn't expected He Yuzhu to become so heartless and simply ignore her. She knew in her heart that today was not going to be easy.
Yi Zhonghai was also feeling depressed at the time. As he was leaving, he happened to see Qin Huairu standing there with a frustrated look on her face. Something in his mind struck him, and he walked towards her, frowning and saying, "Qin Huairu, tell me, how are you going to explain this to Deputy Director Li today? This is really not going to be easy."
Qin Huairu was full of helplessness. She looked at Yi Zhonghai and said with forced calmness, "Uncle Yi, Deputy Director Li is still a deputy director after all. He shouldn't be angry with us over such a small matter. Maybe he will calm down and not pursue it." But she was actually not sure in her heart, she just held on to a glimmer of luck.
Yi Zhonghai carefully considered what Qin Huairu said and felt that it made sense. He couldn't think of a better response for a moment, so he said nothing more. The two of them packed up and went to work at the steel mill together.
Meanwhile, Gu Nan came to his office and sat at his desk, lost in thought. After a moment, an idea flashed in his mind, and a plan came into being.
