Chapter 815 He Yuzhu does not participate
Deputy Director Li was secretly worried when he saw Gu Nan being so "naive," but he also felt that Gu Nan was too smart not to understand what he meant. He simply stopped beating around the bush and said directly, "Deputy Director Gu, you should be aware of the current situation in the factory. Director Yang's position in the factory is no longer as high as before, and it is difficult for him to control the overall situation. And I have strong support behind me. Only by cooperating with me and working together can we achieve greater success in this factory and strive for better development for the future of the steel rolling mill." Deputy Director Li finally revealed his true intentions and tried to win over Gu Nan.
Gu Nan was slightly stunned and pretended to be hesitant. He said, "This... Deputy Director Li, this is not a trivial matter. I have to think about it carefully." Gu Nan knew in his heart that Deputy Director Li must have had no good intentions. The so-called cooperation was just to use him to achieve his ulterior motives.
Deputy Director Li noticed Gu Nan's hesitation. He knew their relationship wasn't close enough to discuss cooperation directly; after all, Gu Nan was wary of him. So, he immediately put on a friendly smile and said, "Okay, okay, I was planning to treat you to dinner today, so we can spend some quality time together. This isn't the time to discuss this specifically. Let's eat first and talk while we eat. I've heard your cooking is great, but why don't you try some of the food here today? You might find something surprising." Deputy Director Li tried to ease the atmosphere and allay Gu Nan's concerns.
Gu Nan knew that Deputy Director Li's sudden change of subject meant he had ulterior motives. Either the wine or the food was faulty. But he decided to play the bait, smiling and saying, "Since Deputy Director Li has so graciously invited me to dinner, I'll naturally obey. It's a blessing to have the opportunity to sample the delicious food here." Gu Nan appeared to accept with pleasure, but inwardly, he was wary.
Deputy Director Li nodded with satisfaction and said, "The dishes will be here soon. By the way, a friend is coming today. Why don't you guess who it is?" Deputy Director Li said mysteriously, trying to arouse Gu Nan's curiosity, let him relax his vigilance, and fall into the trap he set.
Gu Nan raised his eyebrows slightly, with a faint smile on his lips, and asked, "Who is it?" He was secretly wondering who the person that Deputy Director Li was talking about was.
Deputy Director Li wore a mysterious smile and slowly said, "This person has a grudge against you. I'm here today to resolve the issue. How about that? Let's put aside our differences and make peace. From now on, we'll see each other every day and get along well."
When Gu Nan heard this, several people flashed through his mind. The first person he thought of was Liu Haizhong, who always had a bad impression of him and always looked like he couldn't stand him. At the very least, it could be Yi Zhonghai, the elder of the Siheyuan who had been targeting him for various trivial matters.
Gu Nan even thought it might be He Yuzhu. After all, in the small circle of Siheyuan, he had made quite a few enemies and had grudges against many people. So, Gu Nan didn't think much about it and thought it was just one of these people.
Just as Gu Nan was pondering, the door to the private room opened, and in walked Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu. Gu Nan suddenly realized what Deputy Director Li was up to. He turned to look at Deputy Director Li and said with a hint of sarcasm, "Deputy Director Li, this is your so-called favored friend?"
Deputy Director Li smiled and nodded, patted Gu Nan on the shoulder, and said, "You all live in the same courtyard. You see each other every day. There's no need to become enemies over such a small matter. Let's talk it out and resolve the conflict. We can still be good neighbors in the future."
Gu Nan frowned and looked at Deputy Director Li with a hint of doubt in his tone: "Do you know what happened between us? Things are not as simple as you think."
Deputy Director Li nodded again, still wearing a confident smile, and said, "Alright, I understand. In my opinion, these are just trivial matters, no need to dwell on them. How about just letting this matter go? Today we're here to drink, relax, and not talk about those unpleasant things."
In fact, Deputy Director Li had been meticulously planning to invite He Yuzhu over today, hoping for a "reconciliation" between the enemies in the courtyard. But yesterday afternoon, Deputy Director Li specifically approached Qin Huairu and asked her to invite He Yuzhu to a dinner. After Qin Huairu explained her intentions to He Yuzhu, He Yuzhu, with a look of impatience, refused outright.
He Yuzhu was already harried by trivial matters and had no mood to attend this so-called "reconciliation dinner." He felt that Deputy Director Li's actions were baffling, and that the conflict between him and Gu Nan could not be resolved over a single meal. Therefore, Deputy Director Li's plan fell through, and he could only reluctantly accept that only Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu were present.
Deputy Director Li looked at Gu Nan, Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu, and secretly prayed in his heart that the dinner would go smoothly. At least it would ease the conflict between Gu Nan, Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu, which would be a good thing for him.
He Yuzhu was concentrating on the kitchen affairs. When he looked up and saw Qin Huairu walk in, he couldn't help but frowned and said with a hint of impatience, "Qin Huairu, this is the kitchen, what are you doing here?"
Qin Huairu hadn't expected He Yuzhu to treat her this way. She recalled how He Yuzhu had always been so caring and helpful to her, whether at the courtyard or at the steel mill. But now, it was like He Yuzhu had become a different person, no longer willing to help her.
This caused the food quality of her family to plummet, and she had to eat and drink poorly every day, and her quality of life dropped sharply. She knew in her heart that she had to pull He Yuzhu back to her side. If she could get He Yuzhu and Yi Zhonghai to stand on the same front with her, then her family's life might be able to improve.
So, Qin Huairu said to He Yuzhu with a flattering smile, "Zhuzi, look, you don't even have a capable helper around you right now. Why don't you join us? Let's work together to find a solution. Maybe we can change the current situation."
He Yuzhu looked at Qin Huairu coldly and said disdainfully, "I know you and Gu Nan are rivals, but with someone like you... how should I put it, someone with no ability, oh, and Yi Zhonghai, the two of you combined are no match for Gu Nan. I won't mess around with you."
