The Great Era of Siheyuan

Chapter 172: You Can’t Take the Things, I’ll Give You the Money

This morning, Zhu Ling and Li Huaide came to the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill early. But after waiting for a long time, no one came. After finding Li Huaide to ask for clarification, she could only wait helplessly.

When Li Wenqiang arrived at the meeting room, Zhu Ling was already in a daze out of boredom. She didn't even notice that Li Wenqiang had arrived. Her white women's shirt made her look particularly neat and tidy.

"Why are you here? I heard from Director Li that you have something to talk to me about?"

Li Wenqiang walked in and asked with a smile.

Zhu Ling came to her senses when she heard Li Wenqiang's voice, and immediately took out a small stack of bills from her pocket and handed it to Li Wenqiang with a stern face.

"Hello, we can't take your things. There are too many things for me to carry. Just consider those things as my purchases from you. Here is the money for you. Also, my dad asked me to ask you, where did you get those things?"

"Why are you being so polite? It's just a small gift from me. As for those things, I got them through some channels. Don't worry, there is absolutely no problem. It can't be considered as bribery."

Li Wenqiang almost couldn't help laughing when he saw her asking seriously.

Zhu Ling frowned and looked at him.

"Li Wenqiang, I don't care how you got them, just consider those things as what I bought. You take the money, I don't know if it's enough, take a look, if it's not enough, I'll give you more!"

Li Wenqiang was helpless. Why was this woman so stubborn?

"I really don't mean anything else, I just want to thank you."

"Li Wenqiang, I know you may not have any bad intentions, but our family situation is a bit special, and we can't just accept things from others. I appreciate your kindness, but you should just take the money!"

Zhu Ling said seriously.

"Well, if you're going to give it to me, why not donate it to those in need? There are still many people out there who can't afford to eat. How about we donate the money together?"

Li Wenqiang proposed a compromise suggestion.

"This……"

Zhu Ling hesitated a little, not knowing whether she should agree to him. She bit her lip, thought for a moment, and finally nodded.

"Okay, I'll listen to you and donate the money. But you have to tell me where all your things come from!"

Zhu Ling said.

A smile appeared on Li Wenqiang's face.

"That's right. This is also a good thing. As for the thing, let me show you something."

Li Wenqiang said this and took out a work ID from behind.

Zhu Ling was surprised after seeing it clearly.

"Are you a Soviet foreign trade representative?"

"Haha, hush, don't tell anyone about it, it's a secret, I'm telling you this for your sake, no one else knows it!"

Li Wenqiang said with a smile.

As the two were talking, the door of the conference room was suddenly pushed open and Li Huaide walked in.

"You two seem to be having a great time chatting. Zhu Ling, do you have any plans for later? I can't leave right now and don't have time to entertain you. How about I ask Li Wenqiang to take you out for dinner later?"

Li Huaide looked at the two of them and smiled.

"Director Li, we didn't talk about anything. Don't bother with that. It'll only take a moment, then we'll go back."

Zhu Ling blushed slightly and said a little embarrassedly.

Li Wenqiang greeted Li Huaide with a smile.

"Hello, Director Li."

Li Huaide walked up to them with a meaningful look in his eyes.

"Wen Qiang, you have to treat this female comrade well later. If you fail to treat her well, I will not forgive you. Okay, I won't get involved in your affairs, young people, just chat slowly!"

Li Huaide left after he finished speaking. Li Wenqiang looked at her back and kept thinking about the purpose of his coming over. He didn't know what the meaning of this guy running over was. Did he want to show his goodwill in front of Zhu Ling?

This shows that her family background is not simple. Li Wenqiang would not be so narcissistic as to think that everything Li Huaide did just now was to help him pick up girls. For someone at his level, everything is based on interests first.

Zhu Ling seemed a little embarrassed after Li Huaide came in. Seeing this, Li Wenqiang smiled at her directly.

"Let's go, let's go to the security department at the gate first! I just asked the chief there to compile a list of families in need, so we can go over and visit them to see if it's true."

Li Wenqiang asked her to go out, and Zhu Ling hurriedly followed.

"Zhu Ling, what major are you studying? Are you still studying now?"

While walking on the road, Li Wenqiang asked curiously.

"Dance, from the art troupe!"

Zhu Ling said simply, and seemed not to want to talk more about this topic.

Li Wenqiang did not ask any more questions, and the two of them soon arrived at the security department. When he opened the door of the security room, Wang Jianjun was still concentrating on calculating.

Li Wenqiang asked directly.

"Brother Wang, have you finished the list? If not, give me a list of those who are in particularly difficult situations. I will go over and see their situation and then consider how to allocate supplies to them."

"How can it be so fast? I've only calculated less than half of it!"

Wang Jianjun smiled bitterly.

At first he carefully calculated which people needed help, but later he found that more than half of them were in need. The more he calculated, the more frightened he became, as the number of people exceeded his budget.

"Then just give me a few lists and I'll go over and see what's going on!"

Li Wenqiang said casually.

Since he wants to help others, he must see whether the person really needs help. He doesn't want to give things to people who don't need help and waste them.

"Okay, I'll give you a few nearby addresses. You can go check them out. I guarantee that everything I tell you is true!"

After Wang Jianjun finished speaking, he wrote down a few addresses and handed them to him. Li Wenqiang took a look and thought, "Oh, they are on Gulou Street. That area is not a good place. Compared with Nanluoguxiang, it is like heaven and earth."

"Okay, let's go!"

After getting the address, Li Wenqiang didn't want to continue chatting with him. He called Zhu Ling and walked out.

"Did you come here by bike or by car today?"

Li Wenqiang asked Zhu Ling.

"I followed Director Li here today."

After Zhu Ling finished speaking, she looked at him curiously and felt that he was becoming more and more mysterious.

"Then how are you going to get home today? Forget it, I'll take you home after we're done! Come on, get in the car!"

After saying this, Li Wenqiang sat astride the bicycle, patted his back and said to Zhu Ling.

Zhu Ling sat on it shyly, looking very embarrassed. Fortunately, she was not wearing a skirt today, otherwise it would be really uncomfortable to sit.

In fact, Zhu Ling felt a little regretful at this time. Why did she agree to donate the money to him? Why not just give him the money and leave? Now the two of them sitting in the same car seemed too intimate, which made her feel a little embarrassed.

Li Wenqiang didn't flirt with her on purpose today. He was a married man and her father was an official. What if he got angry and her father asked the guards to kill him?

If I haven't got the marriage certificate yet, I will have to force this meal into my stomach even if I have to.
