Chapter 497: Contradictions and Going in Opposite Directions

Du Fei helped Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e clean up the house briefly.

In fact, there is not much work left. The couple came back this afternoon.

Xu Damao took special leave and has been busy for a long time.

When Du Fei gets off work, all that's left is to finish.

Waiting for the quilts to be dried and the things brought back from the Lou family to be packed into the house.

Lou Xiao'e came back from the Central Court early and went to the deaf old lady's house to sit for a while.

As for Xu Damao, he had already prepared for Du Fei to have a drink.

In addition to lunch meat and sausages, the family also prepares a roast chicken and two fried vegetables, which are enough to go with wine.

After the vegetables were cooked, Lou Xiao'e also came back from the deaf old lady's house, holding a pair of very beautiful tiger-head shoes in her hand.

As soon as he entered the room, he showed off, "Look, this is what the old lady made for the puppy! Doesn't it look good~"

"Good-looking, good-looking." Xu Damao chuckled. Now as long as it involves children, he has nothing wrong with him.

Du Fei also glanced at his neck.

Don't tell me, the deaf old lady's needlework is really good!

If it weren't for the fact that I'm older now and my eyesight isn't working so well, it would have been better when I was young.

After putting away the little tiger-head shoes, Lou Xiao'e sat down carefully.

Xu Damao was waiting on the side and handed over a bowl of white rice.

Then he winked with Du Fei and said, "Brother, let's have some meat and potatoes today." He then took a bottle of foreign brand wine from the side and said, "I got the white wine from my father-in-law... Ezi" "What's the point?"

"Brandy~" Lou Xiao'e rolled her eyes at him and said to Du Fei, "Xiao Du, this is Martell Cognac. My dad has been putting it away for many years and he is not willing to drink it."

Although Dufy didn't pay any special attention to brandy, Martell Cognac knew about it.

It is estimated that Lou Hongyi is going to have physical pain.

Xu Damao hurriedly followed, "Yes, it's brandy."

As he spoke, he unscrewed the bottle cap, and the cork attached to the bottom of the bottle cap was pulled out with a "pop" sound.

Then Du Fei saw this guy and poured valuable Martell wine into two small enamel tea jars.

He handed a cup to Du Fei, picked up a cup himself, raised it and said, "Brother, come on, one of us brothers will go!"

As he spoke, he raised his neck and started to do it first as a sign of respect.

After Du Fei clinked the glasses, he looked at them and smelled the so-called aroma of the wine.

But it didn't smell anything special.

Because brandy is distilled from wine, it is said to have a special fruity aroma.

But compared with various types of Chinese liquors, foreign wines are inferior in terms of aroma.

Then Du Fei also finished it in one gulp.

The enamel jar was not big, so Xu Damao didn't pour much, only about one or two.

After taking a sip, there is indeed some grape aroma, as well as a smell of oak barrels and smoke, and finally a light bitter taste.

Overall, it's not bad to drink, but it's not that great either.

At least Du Fei felt that it was far inferior to Fenjiu and Xifeng. Even the Lingchuan he drank at Chen Zhongyuan's house earlier was better than this.

Moreover, Du Fei also drank some brands of cognac before traveling through time.

It is said that as Lou Hongyi is a follower, his bottle of Martell must be of good quality.

But when it comes to the mouths of Du Fei and Xu Damao, they are eating peonies.

Not only did Du Fei not drink well, but Xu Damao also looked sad and stuck out his tongue, "Oh~ what the hell is this! It's not as good as Erguotou~"

Du Fei chuckled and said, "Then I'll buy you a bottle of Erguotou. Do you want to change it?"

Xu Damao curled his lips and said, "You are just thinking about good things. Who will follow you?"

Change. Regardless of whether it tastes good or not, this guy is expensive! "

The two chatted and drank.

After a while, Lou Xiao'e got off the table after finishing her meal and went up to the inner room to rest.

Du Fei and Xu Damao were left, talking about the current situation, and Xu Damao expressed concern.

And asked Du Fei how far it would go.

Although Du Fei's halo in Xu Damao's heart faded somewhat after leaving the courtyard during this period, the omnipotent golden body he had established earlier was still there.

And Du Fei estimated that Xu Damao would be able to bring out the fine wine his father-in-law had collected during this meal, and the Lou family would also like to hear his side of the story.

Du Fei was not busy talking, he put down his cup and took out his cigarette.

He didn't have the nerve to smoke since Lou Xiao'e was here just now, and he had just eaten and drank, so he didn't have time to smoke.

Now that I have had three rounds of wine and five tastes of food, I have some free time.

He handed one to Xu Damao, then lit it and took a deep breath, but instead of answering, he asked, "Brother Mao, is this what Director Lou wants to ask?"

Xu Damao didn't hide it and nodded immediately.

Du Fei said, "Then I don't understand. It's now this time. Could it be that Director Lou still can't understand? Why are you still holding on to any luck?"

Xu Damao's expression changed slightly.

Du Fei's words have already shown that the situation may be worse than they expected.

Xu Damao couldn't help but vomit, "Is it really that serious?"

Du Fei said "Hmm" "You don't know what's going on outside, but you still don't know what's going on in the factory?"

Xu Damao fell silent.

Du Fei was a little curious, "By the way, what did Director Lou think? Didn't you think of going out to avoid it?"

Xu Damao sighed, "~You don't know, before liberation, my father-in-law offended many people. Moreover, Hong Kong was also trying to break the bones and suck out the marrow. Even if all the Lou family's wealth is given away, it's hard to say whether they can keep the whole family safe."

Du Fei suddenly realized.

It turns out that it wasn't that Lou Hongyi couldn't see that the situation was critical, but that he was in a dilemma inside and outside.

Although Xu Damao didn't say who it was, the person the Lou family offended must be extremely difficult to offend...

Early the next morning.

Du Fei once again woke up from the dream with his chest broken.

Looking at Xiaowu lying on his body depressedly, he began to think about finding a rope to tie this guy up when he went to bed at night.

Last night, at Xu Damao's house, we drank until nine o'clock.

One bottle of Martell drained most of the bottle.

It was rare for Xu Damao not to be too drunk.

He has indeed grown a lot in the past few months.

Putting it aside, in this situation, Xu Damao had to drink and lie down.

Now I know when enough is enough, and I have initially gained the ability to control myself.

But yesterday Xu Damao revealed the situation.

The current situation of the Lou family is not very good.

It's hard to leave, but it's hard to stay.

If there is no way to deal with it, or if they find a strong enough backer, Lou Hongyi and his wife may be doomed.

On the contrary, Lou Xiao'e's problem is not difficult to solve.

Although the composition of the Lou family is not good, Lou Xiao'e married Xu Damao, who was from the Xu family and was still a pregnant woman.

As long as he made it clear that he had drawn a clear line with his family, it would not be difficult to keep Lou Xiao'e with Xu Damao's current relationship with Li Mingfei.

But to protect Lou’s father and Lou’s mother,

Far beyond his capabilities.

Like Lou Hongyi, a famous big capitalist before liberation, not to mention Xu Damao, even Li Mingfei didn't dare to say that he could keep it, so he had to speak from the top.

Du Fei packed up and came to the unit.

After holding it in for three days, Aunt Zheng finally couldn't hold it in any longer. As soon as she came in the morning, she started cooing with a few old ladies in the office.

Du Fei entered the room and listened.

It seems to be saying that something happened again yesterday at Yanda.

It is said that the leader seems to be a student named Kang...

When Du Fei heard this, he immediately thought of Kang Dazhong in Chen Fangshi's mouth.

But Aunt Zheng only heard about this, no matter how much more she didn't know.

And Section Chief Qian arrived soon, and the ladies quickly returned to their seats.

Section Chief Qian didn't say anything and went into the small office by himself.

After tidying up a few times inside, I called outside, "Xiao Du, come here."

Du Fei responded, quickly stood up and went over, calling "Uncle".

If it was a particularly formal matter, Section Chief Qian would call Du Fei directly instead of Xiao Du.

But now there is no one else in the room, so it is mostly a private matter.

Section Chief Qian said, "I remember to hear you say that the third uncle in your hospital is named Yan and he is a teacher at Hongxing Primary School, right?"

Du Fei was stunned for a moment and replied, "Ah~ yes, he recently became the logistics director of their school."

Section Chief Qian narrowed his eyes and said, "That's right, it's him."

Du Fei said, "Did he recruit you?"

Section Chief Qian snorted, "I found a guy from the housing management office, and he just wanted to take over the house on our street. He's quite calculating."

Du Fei immediately knew what was going on.

The third uncle also mentioned this matter to him last time, but it was related to Section Chief Qian and was rejected by Du Fei.

Unexpectedly, the third uncle didn't give up and actually approached someone from the housing management office.

Du Fei said, "Uncle, do you want to..."

Section Chief Qian waved his hand and interrupted, "You are not needed. This is a grudge between me and Principal Zhang. You don't need to get involved. This is Yan. Do you know who he is?"

Du Fei frowned and said, "What does he have? He is just an ordinary teacher, his family conditions are average, and he is famous for being stingy in our college. Just recently, for some reason, he actually got the idea. He probably used the relationship of their principal to become the logistics master. "

Section Chief Qian nodded and rolled his eyes a few times, "Okay, I understand, you can leave this matter alone."

Du Fei said "hmm" and didn't ask any more questions.

Since Section Chief Qian said this, he must have his own reasons.

Wait until noon.

Du Fei finished his meal in the canteen and went to the trust store while he still had time.

Last time, Xiao Zhang from the police station mentioned to him that the salesperson of the trust store had harmed the man who sold the royal family cards.

Du Fei made a plan and went over there to ask Wei Sanye and Yang Weiguo.

She originally wanted to go on Sunday, but Zhu Ting also said she wanted to go boating in Beihai Park on Sunday.

Du Fei simply took the time to go there at noon.

If you still have time, go to the grain station to see Chu Cheng and see if this guy is happy in his newlywed life.

It's a little cloudy today.

But instead of feeling cool, it felt sultry and muggy, probably holding back the rain.

Du Fei rode his bicycle north along Andingmen Street, and soon arrived at the trust store of the Fire Temple.

r> He had already come here and was already familiar with the road. He had stored his bicycle at the door and was about to walk inside when someone behind him called out, "Brother Du, is that you?"

Du Fei turned around and saw Yang Weiguo running down the street. When he came up to him, he smiled and said, "Brother Du, it's really you! I looked just like you from the other side."

Du Fei said, "Are you going out to eat?"

Yang Weiguo scratched his head and said, "It's a bit confusing, let's talk about it inside."

As he said this, he was about to take Du Fei into the store.

However, Du Fei grabbed him and said, "Don't rush in and go in. Let's go up and ask you something."

Yang Weiguo was stunned for a moment, then followed Du Fei to the corner of the trust store where there was no one around. "Brother Du, if you have anything to do, just ask me."

Du Fei said, "Something happened in your unit a few days ago?"

Yang Weiguo was also smart and reacted immediately, "What are you talking about Zhang Jian?"

"Zhang Jian?" Du Fei had never heard of this name.

Yang Weiguo explained, "Zhang Jian is a salesperson in our store. He was originally responsible for selling old clothes. Two days ago, he was suddenly taken away by the police station. They said he killed someone. Is this the case?"

Du Fei confirmed that "the victim's surname is Zhou."

"That's it!" Yang Weiguo immediately said, "By the way, I remember you were here that time. The man sold a sign. The store offered 30 yuan, but he insisted on selling it for 100 yuan. He also made a big fuss and finally alarmed the police."

Du Fei nodded and asked, "How much do you know about this matter? Tell me everything."

"This..." Yang Weiguo hesitated slightly, looked around, and whispered, "Brother Du, this is not the place to talk. Come upstairs with me."

Du Fei's heart moved. Seeing Yang Weiguo like this, he should know something.

After a while, Du Fei followed Yang Weiguo into the trust store and went up to the second floor to find an empty office.

Yang Weiguo closed the door with his backhand and whispered, "Brother Du, why are you asking this?"

Du Fei certainly didn't need to explain to him, and said in a deep voice, "What? Is there a problem?"

Yang Weiguo said, "It's not that there is a problem, right... Zhang Jian is from our store after all, and the victim was selling things in the store. If this matter really gets out, who knows how it will be made up! Therefore, our director ordered early on that this matter cannot be spread. If anyone spreads it, it will be considered as rumor-mongering and incitement, and will be directly fired and sent to the police station."

Du Fei can understand this warning.

Supposedly, this matter has nothing to do with the trust store. If Zhang Jian is not a salesperson, he is just a customer who visits the store and encounters the situation at the beginning.

If he targets the sign of Prince Qing's Mansion, he will still drug and steal.

But he happens to be a store employee, which inevitably arouses many speculations, and it is easy for people to think whether there is any shady dealings in the trust store.

But understanding is understanding, but the questions should still be asked.

Du Fei said, "Just say what you want to say. If you really want to fire me, I'll find a place for you."

In fact, it's called firing, but at this time, it's really not easy to fire a worker.

Yang Weiguo hurriedly said, "Brother Du, that's not what I meant. I just told you, you must not spread it."

"You don't have to say it~" Du Fei said unhappily, "Hurry up, don't talk nonsense."

Yang Weiguo heard Du Fei scolding him, he smiled, and hurriedly said, "Actually~ This is the case..."

Du Fei listened carefully at the side, but couldn't help frowning.

Because Yang Weiguo's words were different from what he heard from Xiao Zhang at the police station in many places. In some places, they were even contradictory and went in opposite directions!
