Chapter 77 Thanks
"Hu Tao, don't listen to him. I'm helping you only because I trust Lao Yi. There's no need to thank him."

"If you really don't want to drink, forget it. I didn't plan to drink today anyway."

As soon as Li Huaide finished speaking, Yi Zhonghai immediately responded:

"Old classmate, you can never enjoy life without alcohol. Forget it, since Hu Tao doesn't want to drink, then I'll drink with you."

"Forget it, forget it. Either drink all or don't drink. Otherwise it will be weird."

Li Huaide kept saying forget it. Although he was smiling the whole time, anyone with a discerning eye could see that he was a little disappointed.

If he and Yi Zhonghai forced Xiao Hutao to drink, given Xiao Hutao's temper, it might backfire. If they really pushed her too far, she might not want the job and wouldn't drink with them.

But Li Huaide did the opposite, acting like he would rather resist drinking himself than force Xiao Hutao, which made Xiao Hutao feel very guilty.

From this we can see how well Li Huaide understands women.

He had just met Little Walnut and he had already figured out her character.

At this moment, Little Walnut was very conflicted. Li Huaide was so considerate of her, which made her not want to spoil his fun, so she picked up the wine glass again and said:
"Okay then, I'll drink a little more."

"That's right."

When Yi Zhonghai saw her pick up the wine glass again, he and Li Huaide looked at each other and laughed.

It is most difficult to persuade someone to drink at the beginning. Once they have taken the first sip, it will be much easier to persuade them later. If you wait until the other person is half drunk, there is no need for you to persuade him/her, he/she will just pick up the wine and drink it by himself.

Little Walnut didn't realize that he had fallen into a trap.

Li Huaide behaved very gentlemanly. Every time Yi Zhonghai urged him to drink, he would block the wine for Hu Tao.

This is completely the opposite of what Yi Zhonghai said before, that Li Huaide would toast and he would help block the wine.

Outside the box.

He Daqing finally waited for the waiter to come out, and immediately asked, "Miss, what's going on inside?"

The waiter glanced at the shopkeeper, and seeing that he didn't say anything special, he said directly: "Master He, the three people inside are eating and drinking, but, in my opinion, the two chefs are trying to get that woman drunk. The woman can't drink much, and she's almost drunk now."

"Damn it, so this is what Yi Zhonghai came up with."

When He Daqing heard the words "get drunk", he immediately guessed what Yi Zhonghai was going to do.

Two grown men persuaded a woman to get drunk. Is there anything else I need to say?
He Daqing cursed and was about to go into the box to pick up Yi Zhonghai and demand an explanation.

The shopkeeper saw that he was about to fight, so he rushed over to stop him:
"Master He, now is the time when customers are coming. If you want to ask for an explanation, you can wait until they leave our store. They can't do anything in the store anyway, right?"

He Daqing didn't care about that. He pushed him away and shouted, "Get out of my way. If you know they are up to no good, why are you still waiting?"

Having said that, he rushed into the private room.

At this moment, Little Walnut was a little drunk.

She was obviously very reserved, but was still persuaded to drink two glasses of wine.

It wasn't much, but she could drink even less.

Seeing that she was about to die, Li Huaide and Yi Zhonghai poured her another glass.

Then, Yi Zhonghai said:

"Hu Tao, when you go to the steel mill, you will still need Director Li's support. How about we toast Director Li one last time?"

"No, no... I really can't drink any more."

Little Walnut was already dizzy and felt like the whole world was spinning.

Yi Zhonghai didn't say anything and directly put the wine glass into her hand and said,

"You said from the beginning that you couldn't drink, but now you've had two cups. It's nothing. It's rare to find a good leader like Director Li. Hu Tao, you must not disappoint the leader."

After drinking so much, Li Huaide no longer pretended.

Then Yi Zhonghai continued to say to Xiao Hutao,

"Yes, Hu Tao, you look like an honest person, but how come you are not honest at all? You can drink so much, but you still say you don't know how to drink. You must drink this glass, otherwise you are looking down on me."

"I'll fuck you, uncle."

As soon as Li Huaide finished speaking, he heard an angry curse coming from the door of the box.

Then, a tall and rugged man rushed in.

Seeing that Xiao Hutao was almost drunk, Li Huaide was about to give her one last drink.

He Daqing rushed in and overturned the table on the spot.

Wow!

The wine, food, and dishes on the table fell to the ground, and there was a sound of porcelain breaking.

When Yi Zhonghai saw that it was He Daqing, he was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that he was being followed.

As his back felt a chill, his brain was working rapidly.

Mustering up the courage to cry thief:
"He Daqing, what are you doing? Xiao Hutao and I are thanking our leaders for their support. Are you sick of seeing others living well and are you deliberately trying to sabotage them?"

Yi Zhonghai had just said half of his words when he was slapped hard in the face.

He Daqing slapped Yi Zhonghai under the table, pointed at him and cursed him,
"Fuck you Yi Zhonghai, what the hell are you holding back on? Do you think I don't know? Do you need to get Hu Tao drunk to thank your leader? I don't think you have good intentions at all."

Li Huaide didn't know He Daqing.

Although he had eaten the dishes he cooked when he was working at the steel mill, the two had never had face-to-face contact.

Seeing that the other party was so fierce, Li Huaide was a little scared.

Quickly backed away.

"Master, this is none of my business. They invited me to dinner."

He Daqing glared at him fiercely: "It's none of your business? I saw you were very happy to persuade me to drink just now. If I don't drink, I won't give you face. If I get drunk, I will be bullied by you. Come on, let me see how much face you have."

As He Daqing spoke, he moved closer to Li Huaide, scaring Li Huaide so much that he stepped back repeatedly.

He had just drunk a lot of wine, and seeing He Daqing approaching, it was too late for Li Huaide to run away.

He Daqing grabbed him by the collar, lifted him up, and threw him to the ground.

"Ouch! My arm."

Li Huaide covered his arm and grimaced in pain. His pampered little body could not withstand such a torture.

Yi Zhonghai shouted from the side:

"He Daqing, do you know who he is? He is Director Li of the independent equipment R&D team. Even Director Yang has to respect him. You dare to hit him. Do you want to quit your job?"

"Director Li, right? I'm hitting the officials."

He Daqing has a bad temper. Will he care whether you are an official or not?
The more Yi Zhonghai said this, the harder he wanted to hit him. Then, he kicked Li Huaide several times, making Li Huaide scream.

Then, he turned around and picked up Yi Zhonghai, and hit Yi Zhonghai in the stomach twice with his sandbag-sized fists.

He threw out all the food and wine that Yi Zhonghai had just eaten and vomited them all over the floor.

Ma Huan ran in and saw this scene and almost cried.

"Master He, please stop using your magical powers. Let the boss know that I helped you deal with the customer. Then I, the shopkeeper, will have to pack up and leave."

Although He Daqing is reckless, he is also reasonable.

Just now, it was indeed Ma Huan who asked the waiter to help him keep an eye on Yi Zhonghai and the others.

So, although He Daqing was very angry now, he decided to give him this face.

So, he carried Yi Zhonghai in one hand and Li Huaide in the other, and dragged them both downstairs.

Then, they walked out of Shunde Building and dumped the two people on the street.

There were many people on the street on the second day of the Chinese New Year, some were watching the lanterns and some were setting off firecrackers. Suddenly, they saw a fight at the entrance of Shunde Building, and they all put down their entertainment and ran over to watch the fun.

Li Jiandong and Sha Zhu arrived just in time. Seeing a lot of people gathered in front of the entrance of Shunde Building, they guessed that it might be He Daqing who captured Yi Zhonghai.

After stopping, Cazi and Shazhu ran over and saw He Daqing scolding and beating up the two of them in the crowd.

Seeing Yi Zhonghai and Li Huaide with bruised faces.

Li Jiandong felt very comfortable. This kind of thing had to be left to He Daqing. If it were him, he would definitely not be able to do such a cruel thing.

"Zhu Zi, it's your turn now. Capture Yi Zhonghai and Li Huaide and interrogate them thoroughly. Remember not to mention my name."

Li Jiandong said this mainly because he didn't want Li Huaide to know that it was he who hired someone to ruin his good deeds.

It’s not that Li Jiandong is afraid of him, but it’s better to have less trouble than more.

After all, Li Huaide has not yet gone against Director Yang, and Director Yang also attaches great importance to independent research and development of equipment.

If people knew at this time that he was the one who hired someone to arrest Li Huaide, wouldn't that cause trouble for the factory?
"Master, I understand. I'll go get the person first."

When Sha Zhu saw Li Jiandong nod, he trotted towards the crowd.

He had just got off work and was still in his police uniform. When he saw the police coming, everyone around him made way.

Li Jiandong also took the opportunity to squeeze to the door of Shunde Building and walked inside.

With such a big commotion happening outside, the diners in Shunde Building also ran out to watch the fun.

Li Jiandong stopped a waiter and asked, "Which room are those people fighting outside from?"

The waiter shook his head: "It seems to be on the second floor, you are..."

Before he could even ask, Li Jiandong said, "Thank you."

They quickly found the private room booked by Yi Zhonghai. Ma Huan was so sad that he could not even cry when he saw the mess on the floor.

The waiter was taking care of the drunk Little Walnut.

He asked Ma Huan, "Boss, what should we do if this woman is drunk?"

"Just leave her to me."

Li Jiandong just walked in and answered the waiter's question directly.

Then, he said to Ma Huan: "He Daqing is my brother, and this lady is my family. I am sorry for disrupting your business. Please see how much compensation you need and I will pay it to you."

Seeing that someone was paying compensation, the shopkeeper didn't bother to care whether Li Jiandong and Xiao Hutao were really a family.

After a rough calculation, he said, "Master, we haven't paid for the meal yet. The total cost of the wine and the dishes is 4 yuan. In addition, the bowls, chopsticks, and dishes will cost another 7 or yuan. Master He and I are acquainted, so you can just give us a friendly price of yuan."

Li Jiandong took out some money, counted out seven yuan and handed it over, then picked up Xiao Hutao and walked downstairs.

People on the street looked at him sideways when they saw him holding a beautiful woman who was drunk and unconscious.

Li Jiandong didn't care at all. He carried the person out of the restaurant, put him on the sedan chair, and left first.

Back at the courtyard, Li Jiandong stopped the car and bent down to pick up Xiao Hutao.

I don’t know if it was the cold wind that woke him up, but the drunk Xiao Hutao suddenly stretched out his arms and hugged Li Jiandong.

He murmured, "Dawei, Dawei, don't go."

Li Jiandong guessed that Dawei should be her man's name and couldn't help but sigh.

In this world, if a woman lives without a man, not only is her life insecure.

If it weren't for him and He Daqing's help today, I'm afraid I would have been killed.

"Hu Tao, it's me, let go of my neck first, and I'll help you go home."

Li Jiandong was bending over, and Hu Tao was sitting in the truck bed with her arms wrapped around his neck, making it impossible for him to exert any strength and hold her.

Hearing Li Jiandong's voice, Xiao Hutao slowly opened his eyes.

"Uncle, why is it you?"

"You were tricked by Yi Zhonghai into going to Shunde Building and got drunk. I happened to see you and brought you back. Now that you are awake, let me go and I will help you... Hey? Why did you fall asleep again?"

Before Li Jiandong could finish his words, Little Walnut fell asleep again.

Fortunately, her arms were loosened, so Li Jiandong had to pick her up and prepare to send her home.

"Old Li, you're back?"

There was the sound of a door opening and Yan Bugui's voice.

Li Jiandong just walked to his door and said, "Old Yan, you've come just in time. Come with me to the middle courtyard and open the door to Hu Tao's house."

Yan Bugui didn't know what Li Jiandong was doing tonight. He was a little surprised to see little Hutao lying so soft in his arms.

"No, Lao Li, what are you doing?"

"Go open the door first, we'll talk later."

"okay."

Yan Bugui trotted to the central courtyard and pushed open the door of Xiao Hutao's house.

In the dark room, a little girl's voice came: "Who?"

"Xiao Xiaotao, I'm the eldest uncle. Your mother had a meal with her friends outside and drank too much. The third uncle and I brought her back."

Li Jiandong did not tell the child what happened. She was so young that she would not understand even if he told her.

When Little Walnut left, he had already told his daughter that he was going to treat everyone to a dinner.

So Xiao Xiaotao didn't doubt it, and Li Jiandong had a very tall image in the hearts of the children in the courtyard, so Xiao Xiaotao would not doubt what he said.

After putting Xiao Hutao on the kang, Li Jiandong gave Xiao Xiaotao a few instructions, asking her to take good care of her mother, and then left with Yan Bugui.
At this time, Xu Huizhen and Qin Huairu also came out of their homes.

"Brother Jiandong, what's going on?"

"Where is my Daqing? Why hasn't he come back?"

The two women love their own men, and the first thing they ask is about their men.

Li Jiandong said: "It's okay, Daqing and Zhuzi should be on the way now, they have to go to the police station later.

Huizhen, if you are tired, don't wait any longer. Daqing will probably be back quite late."

"Huai Ru, is the child asleep?"

Qin Huairu nodded: "I slept. I was quite tired after playing in my hometown today. I fell asleep as soon as I came back."

Li Jiandong said, "I won't come into the room if I fall asleep. Old Yan, go call Old Liu. I have something that needs to be discussed with the three of us."

Xu Huizhen said, "It's so cold outside, why don't you come to my house?"

Li Jiandong nodded: "That's fine."

Li Jiandong followed Xu Huizhen into He Daqing's house.

Qin Huairu also followed in, and soon Yan Bugui found Liu Haizhong.

"Uncle, what happened?"

When Li Jiandong saw that the three uncles were all present, he said, "I called you two here today because something happened in our hospital that is outrageous to both humans and gods. It is extremely bad in nature and extremely morally corrupt, so I want to hear your opinions on how to deal with it."

Li Jiandong told everything that had just happened.

Liu Haizhong, Yan Bugui, Qin Huairu, and Xu Huizhen were all very angry after hearing this.

They could never have imagined that Yi Zhonghai would be so despicable and simply not worthy of being a human being.
