Chapter 2208
Harming others without benefiting oneself, just for a bit of fun.
In fact, most of Xiao Lan's current situation was caused by He Yuzhu.
He originally had a chance
When we first started reform and opening up, Xiao Lan helped several collective factories negotiate purchases with foreign businesses.
They performed very well.
If nothing unexpected happens, the next development will be that Xiao Lan becomes an authority in foreign procurement negotiations.
He might even become a consultant for the city government's industrial sector.
However, He Yuzhu's opinion of Lao Lu was not high.
This means that He Yuzhu's words blocked Xiao Lan's path to regain power.
Of course, the biggest reason is that his own background is not clean.
Even if He Yuzhu doesn't say anything, given the messes he's made in the past, Lao Lu wouldn't recommend him for a high position.
In the past year or two, with the deepening of reform and opening up, many insightful people from abroad have chosen to return to China to develop their careers.
Those of our family members who went abroad for further studies in previous years are now gradually returning.
And they were given important responsibilities.
Regardless of whether other people are more capable than Xiao Lan.
At least those people have impeccable political backgrounds and impressive resumes.
It's not comparable to someone like Xiao Lan, who has a tainted reputation.
For example, his position as a training instructor for the collective factory at that school was taken by a returnee from overseas.
Seeing that Xiao Lan had already managed to get a menial job at school, his new wife was becoming increasingly impatient with him.
If Xiao Lan doesn't come up with a way out soon, she'll really be finished.
What solutions could he possibly come up with?
The connections he had in Beijing, the leaders of those collective factories, were enough to get him to eat and drink.
But it's impossible to elevate him to any position.
He also went to see Lao Lu, who laughed it off a few times, let him stay at his workplace for a few meals, and then ignored him.
So after thinking it over, he could only keep his eyes on Ran Qiuye and He Yuzhu.
Xiao Lan felt that He Yuzhu shouldn't know him, but he did know He Yuzhu.
In his position, he couldn't access matters at the highest levels.
Therefore, he believed that He Yuzhu and Lou Xiao'e's affair should still be a secret in Beijing.
He wasn't thinking of making threats.
He had carefully observed He Yuzhu's movements and eyes when he slaughtered the pig.
He was ruthless and decisive, his movements swift and efficient, his eyes gleaming with a chilling light...
He really didn't dare offend someone like that.
But his original idea was that it would be okay to get closer to He Yuzhu.
He didn't ask for much; at most, he just hoped that He Yuzhu could smooth things over between him and the Ran family, and that would be enough.
Alternatively, he could showcase his talent, and He Yuzhu could transfer him to the CNC School, which would also be a good arrangement.
I heard that the School of CNC has two school-run factories, and they are currently short of management personnel.
Xiao Lan believes that he is quite capable in management.
Unexpectedly, He Yuzhu didn't give him a chance to introduce himself at all.
How is he supposed to play?
He Yuzhu found a tap and washed himself.
Damn, there's blood on my clothes too. I'm going to get yelled at by my wife when I get home.
He watched as Little Blue walked towards him again.
He Yuzhu didn't have time to think about it and ran out of the academy.
He had originally planned to take charge of the cooking himself, so that the teachers from other schools could taste his culinary skills.
That won't work now.
He Yuzhu staggered to the Ran family's house in the dormitory area.
Hearing the melodious harmonica music coming from inside the house, He Yuzhu knocked on the door.
When Ran's mother opened the door, He Yuzhu couldn't help but marvel.
Damn, cultured people really know how to live. The elderly couple, the father sitting on a stool playing the harmonica, and the mother turning him into the protagonist of an oil painting.
This comparison made He Yuzhu feel a little sad.
When he was at home with Liu Ting, he would be the one holding the yarn while Liu Ting would be winding the ball.
Where can you find such an elegant collaboration?
"Did you two smell something?"
"You deliberately didn't go to school?" He Yuzhu didn't bother with formalities with the Ran family and started complaining directly.
The elderly couple were taken aback by the question, and their questioning gazes turned to him.
"That person is coming."
"Their school has a joint program with ours," He Yuzhu explained.
Upon hearing this, Ran's father's face darkened, and he said to He Yuzhu in an annoyed tone, "Little He, are you here to help smooth things over?"
"I don't have the time for that. I just came to remind you two that I don't think this person is very good."
"Maybe they've set their sights on Teacher Ran again..." He Yuzhu explained, but all he was saying was that Ran Qiuye had recently been featured in the Beijing newspaper.
This is He Yuzhu's mindset; it's never been very broad.
He hates someone so much that he wants to imagine that person as the worst person in the world.
"Oh... I'm sorry!" Ran's father apologized to He Yuzhu abruptly.
Ran's mother smiled and explained, "We saw Qiuye in the south this time. When Old Ran saw the scar on Qiuye's face, he couldn't stop crying on the way back..."
He can't stand hearing that person's name right now.
My outburst just now wasn't directed at you.
Principal He, please forgive me.
He Yuzhu waved his hand and laughed, "I won't talk about this with you two, that would be too formal."
When Ranran comes back later, tell her not to go to school for meals anymore; I'll save some for her.
"Xiao He, are you saying that bastard has been eyeing my Qiu Ye again recently?" At this moment, Ran's father had returned to normal. He made He Yuzhu a cup of tea as an apology.
He Yuzhu said seriously, "I don't know, I ignored that person."
However, you two should know my temperament.
For someone I dislike, I'll never be faithful again, not even once.
From what I understand, that person's situation isn't very good.
His new wife still refuses to have children for him.
The requirement is that we should only consider having children after we go abroad.
He spends money like water. That man earns a little over a hundred a month, while his wife has no income and frequently visits overseas Chinese stores; she's quite vain…
He Yuzhu was also very enthusiastic when talking about other people's gossip.
These are all observations made by Lao Lu and his colleagues.
He Yuzhu thought the elderly couple would like to hear this.
"Personally, I think you two should write a letter to Teacher Ran and give her some advice."
Don't be too soft-hearted.
Some people shouldn't even be given the chance to scheme against each other. He Yuzhu's concern is quite practical.
As for whether his concern for Ran Qiuye was influenced by feelings from a past life, he guessed it wasn't.
He simply disliked Xiao Lan.
Yes, it is like that.
He Yuzhu picked up the cup of flower tea in front of him, drank it all in one gulp, and then stood up and laughed heartily, "Alright, I'm leaving."
I've already spoken to the security guards in this dormitory area; no outsiders are allowed in. ..."
This is what it means to do something 'bad', completely blocking any possible ideas Xiao Lan might have.
This is called harming others without benefiting oneself, just for the sake of having fun. (End of Chapter)
