Chapter 121 One of the Three Great Illusions of Men: She Likes Me
Things have escalated to this point; the matter has really blown up!
The state-run restaurant immediately sent someone to the nearby police station.
Shortly after, the police arrived.
Shen Zhishou briefly explained the situation to the old policeman leading the team, and then handed over the guns, license plates, and pistols that he had seized.
"I suspect this guy might not be your average thug. I suggest you interrogate him thoroughly. I only mentioned that they were suspected of trying to disrupt social order, and he immediately threatened to use a gun!"
"What does this mean? You're professionals, you should know better than I do!"
"Thanks!"
Veteran police officer Li Mancang solemnly thanked Shen Zhishou.
He naturally understood what it meant for this guy to be carrying a gun.
When a bunch of thugs get together and drink too much, things can easily spiral out of control if you just lead them around. It could really cause some unrest.
"Comrade Shen, thank you so much this time!"
"Once the case is solved, our police station will issue a letter of commendation to your steel rolling mill!"
"You're too kind, it's nothing!"
After exchanging pleasantries with Li Mancang for a while, Li Mancang led his men away and took all the thugs away. However, the state-run restaurant did not forget to take money from those thugs to compensate for the lost dishes.
"Sorry to have kept you from your work!"
Once the restaurant quieted down, Shen Zhishou smiled and apologized to the fat chef.
The portly chef waved his hand magnanimously and said, "It's nothing. In fact, we should thank you. Otherwise, if those bad guys had done something, we might all be in trouble!"
"This dumpling meal is on us today!"
The chubby chef immediately made the decision to treat Shen Zhishou and Lan Ninghui to dumplings for free.
"Section Chief Lan, are you alright?"
"Thanks!"
Lan Ninghui gently shook her head, her gaze towards Shen Zhishou carrying a hint of ambiguity.
However, Shen Zhishou did not notice.
He felt that he had left a deep enough impression on Lan Ninghui this time.
The dumplings arrived shortly afterward.
Five bowls of dumplings!
Lan Ninghui had one bowl, and Shen Zhishou had four bowls!
However, Lan Ninghui didn't finish her bowl of dumplings; she left five or six uneaten.
She simply pushed the bowl in front of her towards Shen Zhishou and said, "Little Shen, I can't finish this. Do you mind?"
"I don't mind!"
dislike?
What kind of international joke is this!
In those days, even if meat dumplings fell on the ground, people would pick them up, blow on them, and eat them.
Besides, Lan Ninghui is such a beautiful woman, she's just eating leftovers!
People eat so politely and don't drool on the leftover dumplings, so what is Shen Zhishou complaining about?
After they ate the dumplings, the chubby chef brought each of them a small bowl of dumpling soup.
As the old saying goes, the original soup helps digest the original food!
Eat, sleep, and drink dumpling soup – perfect!
However, when she left, Lan Ninghui still put a one-yuan coin at the bottom of the bowl.
Although Shen Zhishou saw it, he didn't say anything.
This is a matter of principle for the leader. How could a mere worker like him advise someone not to be foolish?
Lan Ninghui is the head of the Materials Section. Although this is not an administrative rank, she enjoys the salary of a level 20 person, which is more than 70 yuan a month, much higher than Shen Zhishou's salary!
Restart the truck and head straight to the clothing factory.
Upon arriving at the clothing factory's warehouse area, Shen Zhishou was about to start working when Lan Ninghui stopped him.
"I just finished eating, let's rest for a bit, and then we can get back to work in half an hour!"
""
Shen Zhishou paused for a moment; he really hadn't realized that this older sister would talk about this.
However, since the leader has spoken, let's take a half-hour break.
Shen Zhishou didn't go back to the car. Instead, he found a spot by the warehouse, sat down on the cement ground, basked in the sun, and squinted his eyes.
Lan Ninghui then returned to the passenger seat.
The way she looked at Shen Zhishou had changed slightly; she seemed somewhat moved.
Shen Zhishou remained completely unaware of all this.
He had plenty of energy; he only ate half a meal at noon and could still work without any problems. But since he could rest, he decided to take a break.
The autumn sun shines on me, warm and comfortable.
Shen Zhishou only took a short nap, and when he estimated that it was about time, he got busy.
However, Lan Ninghui fell asleep in the passenger seat.
After seeing that Lan Ninghui had fallen asleep, Shen Zhishou did not throw the stacks of clothes onto the car as he had done before. Instead, he handled them gently so as not to wake Lan Ninghui who was sleeping in front.
Lan Ninghui didn't wake up until Shen Zhishou finished loading the truck and was securing it with ropes. She checked the time and realized she had overslept. Just as she was about to call Shen Zhishou, she found him opening the driver's side door and sitting in the driver's seat.
"Section Chief Lan, hold on tight!"
After Shen Zhishou started the car, Lan Ninghui looked back and saw that the truck bed was already full of clothes.
"you----?"
Lan Ninghui didn't know how to ask.
She was certain that Shen Zhishou's loading of the truck was not the same as it was in the morning; otherwise, she would have been woken up long ago.
Shen Zhishou simply smiled and said, "I saw you were sleeping soundly, so I didn't wake you!"
"Thanks!"
Lan Ninghui felt as if a thousand pounds were pressing down on her heart, and her gaze ahead became increasingly unfathomable.
Shen Zhishou didn't know the other party well, but he knew that Lan Ninghui's condition was a bit off, because the pleasant navigation voice was gone on the way back.
When the truck returned to the steel rolling mill, Shen Zhishou was the first to unload the goods.
Lan Ninghui still followed the car back.
But there were still no navigation prompts.
However, when Shen Zhishou was working, Lan Ninghui's gaze would follow him, and once Shen Zhishou finished, she would fall silent again.
"What's going on?"
Shen Zhishou felt very uncomfortable.
One of the three great illusions of men, "She likes me," enveloped Shen Zhishou at this moment.
"impossible!"
When Shen Zhishou went to relieve himself, he shook his head vigorously to shake the thought out of his mind.
Who is Lan Ninghui?
Pretty!
The background is very deep!
So aloof!
Moreover, at her age, she must already be married.
Shen Zhishou calmed himself down and focused on his work.
Finally, at the end of the workday, the last transport job was completed.
However, the logistics department workers responsible for moving the work clothes have not yet finished putting them into the warehouse. After all, all the clothes must be counted by the materials department to confirm that the quantity is correct before they can be put into the warehouse.
But this has nothing to do with Shen Zhishou anymore.
He drove the car back to the transportation department and parked it in the garage.
When Wang Chenggong saw Shen Zhishou return, he gave him a thumbs up and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Don't worry, the allowance will definitely not be less!"
"Section Chief, did you know that working at the clothing factory also meant doing manual labor?"
Shen Zhishou looked at Wang Chenggong with eager eyes.
Wang Chenggong chuckled and said, "Well, that's just a guess I had; I'm not sure!"
"Section Chief, please don't trick us like that next time!"
"Don't worry, I'll see how it goes next time!"
Wang Chenggong laughed heartily, raised his hand and patted Shen Zhishou on the shoulder, "You were capable enough to do more today, but I really feel a little sorry for you!"
"How about this, tomorrow at noon, it's on me at the cafeteria, okay?"
"Then I'll have to make sure you get a good meal!"
Shen Zhishou wasn't really blaming Wang Chenggong, after all, it was an unexpected situation.
Besides, he didn't lose out today.
I had a stunningly beautiful woman with me all day, but she was a bit too cold.
However, one should not be too greedy.
After exchanging a few casual words with Wang Chenggong, Shen Zhishou waved and left, but Wang Chenggong couldn't leave yet because there were still some vehicles from the transportation department that hadn't returned, so he had to wait.
On his way back to the courtyard house, Shen Zhishou unexpectedly ran into Sha Zhu and Yi Zhonghai.
"Master Yi, Master He, what a coincidence!"
Shen Zhishou greeted the two of them.
The two of them smiled and waved when they saw Shen Zhishou.
"Xiao Shen, your transportation department must be pretty busy today. I didn't see a single person from the transportation department go to the cafeteria for lunch!"
"I'm quite busy!"
"I made seven trips back and forth today, carrying 20 to 30 tons of work clothes!"
"Being a driver is really not an easy job!"
Shen Zhishou immediately launched into a tirade of criticism.
Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu stared wide-eyed.
Yi Zhonghai, in particular, was extremely surprised, saying, "The driver has to do the moving? When we transport materials and parts to our factory, the drivers don't move an inch!"
"Master Yi, what's the situation right now?"
Shen Zhishou pointed towards the southwestern snow-capped mountains, "There's a war going on over there, everyone's busy, we can't come here as slowly as before!"
"That's true, the bigger picture should always come first!"
Yi Zhonghai wholeheartedly agreed.
Sha Zhu sighed and said, "Little Shen, if that's the case, you'd be better off as a fitter in the workshop than a driver!"
"no the same!"
Shen Zhishou chuckled, "Being a driver allows you to travel and see the world, but being a fitter means staying in the workshop all day long, and you can't appreciate the beautiful landscapes of our motherland!"
'
Upon hearing Shen Zhishou's words, Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu were at a loss for words.
Especially Sha Zhu, although he didn't understand the meaning of what Shen Zhishou was saying, he just felt that it was pretty impressive.
The three walked and talked, rambling on about this and that.
During the conversation, the topic of Shen Zhishou's move inevitably came up again. Shen Zhishou briefly explained his situation with the Yan family. Although the two families were not currently embroiled in any disputes, it was hard to say what might happen in the long run.
"If Yan Jiecheng gets married in the future, and someone brings up these old, trivial matters with his wife, there will inevitably be trouble. So, it's best to move out now while you can!"
Neither Yi Zhonghai nor Sha Zhu could offer any rebuttal to Shen Zhishou's theory.
Because what Shen Zhishou described is indeed very likely to happen.
When the three of them returned to the courtyard, they saw Yan Bugui again at the gate.
"Uncle, are you on guard duty again?"
Sha Zhu chuckled and spoke up, completely disregarding whether his words would embarrass Yan Bugui.
"Zhu Zi, how dare you talk like that? You have no manners!"
Yi Zhonghai scolded Sha Zhu directly, then looked at Yan Bugui and said, "Old Yan, don't take it to heart. You've watched Zhu grow up, he's just a smart aleck. I'll have a good talk with him later!"
Yan Bugui waved his hand dismissively and said, "Old Yi, what are you saying? As an elder, how could I possibly argue with a junior?"
"But, Sha Zhu, I have to say something to you!"
"There are only two stewards in our courtyard now, and I'm the second steward. You always call me the third steward, are you unhappy with my position as the second steward?"
"Third Uncle, oh no, Second Uncle, I'm just used to it!"
"I've been calling you 'Third Uncle' for so many years, and now that you've suddenly become 'Second Uncle,' I really haven't gotten used to it yet. Please forgive me, I'll definitely change next time!"
Sha Zhu spoke with a grin, then waved and entered the courtyard.
Shen Zhishou simply nodded to Yan Bugui and entered the courtyard.
The door to the rear room is already open.
"I'm back!"
Shen Zhishou entered the house and called out towards the kitchen.
As it turned out, not only Yu Li was there, but Lou Xiao'e was too.
"Sister Xiao'e, you're here too!"
Shen Zhishou closed the door behind him and greeted Lou Xiao'e.
"There's not much water left in the tank. Go and fetch two buckets of water!"
Yu Li's voice followed, ordering Shen Zhishou around to do the work.
Shen Zhishou agreed and went to fetch two buckets of water, heading straight for the central courtyard.
