My happy life in a courtyard house with triplets.

Chapter 268: Sha Zhu Beats Up Cui Dake

A few days passed in the blink of an eye. Frustrated, Nan Yi went to the purchasing department again and asked someone there, "Excuse me, has Zhang Lei from your purchasing department come to work yet?"

The man looked at Nanjing University of the Arts and asked hesitantly, "Who is Zhang Lei?"

Nanjing University of the Arts said speechlessly, "Zhang Lei? You're from the purchasing department, don't you know him?"

Just then, someone stepped forward and said, "Oh, you mean Zhang Lei? He's not here. What happened?"

Listening to what another colleague said, Nan Yi asked in confusion, "Isn't Zhang Lei from your purchasing department? Why hasn't he come to work yet after all these days?"

The first person from Nanjing University of the Arts to be asked looked at the other person with a puzzled expression and said, "Old Li, is Zhang Lei really from your group?"

The man called Old Li nodded and said, "Old Zhao, don't you remember Zhang Lei? He's that young lad from the Zhang family who sacrificed his life. You mentioned him before."

Hearing Old Li say this, Old Zhao suddenly realized and said, "You mean him?"

At this moment, Nan Yi, seeing the two chatting and seemingly forgetting about herself, interjected, "Hey you two, could you tell me when Zhang Lei is starting work?"

At this moment, Lao Li and Lao Zhao looked at Nan Yi with suspicion and asked, "What exactly do you want with Zhang Lei?"

Nan Yi was speechless for a moment. He actually wanted to find Zhang Lei to ask about Ding Qiunan.

At this moment, Old Li noticed that Nan Yi remained silent, so he said, "Comrade, you shouldn't keep looking for Zhang Lei every day. He rarely comes to the factory. If you really want to see him, go to his house."

The student from Nanjing University of the Arts said, somewhat speechless, "What's wrong with your purchasing department? This guy never comes to work! What does he think this factory is? His own home? He comes and goes as he pleases?"

Hearing Nan Yi's complaints, the two looked at him with suspicion and said, "Hey comrade, that's just how we purchasing staff are; we only come a few days a week. Why are you so upset?"

Upon hearing their conversation, Nan Yi realized she had lost her composure and said, "No, I just have something urgent to discuss with Zhang Lei."

Then, Nanjing University of the Arts looked at the two of them and said, "Didn't you two come to the factory too? Zhang Lei, how come I've never seen him come even once?"

Old Zhao looked at Nan Yi and said, "Our job is to do purchasing. As long as we complete the purchasing tasks, there's nothing else to do. We don't need to come to the factory every day. If you really have something to do, go to Zhang Lei's house. Don't keep running to the purchasing department."

The student from Nanjing University of the Arts said, somewhat speechless, "Then what are you doing inside the factory?"

Old Zhao said directly, "That's because we didn't complete the mission..."

Just then, Old Zhao glared at Nan Yi and said, "Hey, comrade, what are you asking around for? What business is it of yours whether we come or not? If you're looking for someone, go to their house, don't come to our purchasing department, honestly."

Seeing Old Zhao's angry expression, Old Li quickly advised him, "Alright, alright, this comrade clearly doesn't understand our purchasing department." Then, looking at Nan Yi, he said, "Alright, comrade, stop asking about our purchasing department. Zhang Lei completes his monthly purchasing quota with special approval from the department head, so he rarely comes to the factory. If you really need anything, just go to his house. If he's not home, his wife will be."

Hearing what Old Li said, Nan Yi was stunned for a moment. He thought about going to Zhang Lei's house, but he still didn't know how to face Ding Qiunan's situation. He just wanted to find Zhang Lei to get some answers, since he felt this was a matter between men.

Unable to find out that Zhang Lei had come to the factory, Nanjing University of the Arts had no choice but to return to the canteen dejectedly.

It was lunchtime in the workshop. Liang Ladi looked at the lunch Cui Dake handed her, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Cui Dake, why did you bring me lunch again? Didn't I say I already ate?"

Cui Dake looked at Liang Ladi and said, "Comrade Liang Ladi, we're all here from the same factory to learn, so we should help each other. Look, I got some food from the canteen today, including braised pork. Here, have a taste."

Liang Ladi looked at Cui Dake and said, "Alright, this is the last time. Don't bring me food anymore. I can buy it myself."

Cui Dake watched Liang Ladi take the food, then patted her shoulder with a smile and said, "Liang Ladi, look how many of my lunchboxes you've eaten. What do you think, should we take our relationship to the next level?"

Looking at Cui Dake's lewd appearance, Liang Ladi said, "What do you want to do? I'm warning you, if you dare to mess around, I won't let you off the hook."

Upon hearing Liang Ladi's words, Cui Dake angrily retorted, "Liang Ladi, you've eaten so many of my lunchboxes, what's wrong with me touching them?"

Liang Ladi immediately flew into a rage, throwing the lunchbox at Cui Dake and saying, "Cui Dake, you're a toad lusting after a swan! You think I'll like you just because you give me a few lunchboxes? Dream on! I wouldn't like someone like you, no matter who I like."

Upon hearing Liang Ladi's words, Cui Dake was instantly enraged and said, "What? You don't like me? You don't like me, yet you accepted my lunchbox? You bitch, no way! If you eat my lunchbox, you're mine!" With that, he grabbed Liang Ladi's hand.

When Liang Ladi saw that Cui Dake was taking a hard line, she was furious. She tried to grab her tools, but they were too far from the worktable to reach, and she panicked.

Seeing Liang Ladi's somewhat frightened expression, Cui Dake grew bolder and said, "Liang Ladi, I don't want much, just let me kiss you." As he spoke, he was about to become violent towards Liang Ladi.

Just then, a loud shout rang out: "Hey! You little brat, what are you doing?"

Upon hearing the sound, Cui Dake and Liang Ladi quickly looked in that direction and saw Sha Zhu suddenly rush over and kick Cui Dake directly, sending Cui Dake flying a meter or two away.

When Liang Ladi saw that the person who came was Sha Zhu, she heard Sha Zhu say, "Hey! You little brat, she already said she doesn't like you, and you dare to force yourself on me? Do you think women are easy to bully?" As he spoke, he kicked Cui Dake in the groin, causing Cui Dake to bend over like a shrimp in pain.

Seeing Cui Dake's expression, Sha Zhu laughed loudly, "How about that? Now you know how powerful Grandpa is, right?" As he spoke, he kicked Cui Dake again.

Liang Ladi quickly grabbed Sha Zhu and said, "Sha Zhu, Sha Zhu, that's enough. If you keep hitting him, someone will die." She was afraid that Sha Zhu would act impulsively and hurt someone.

When Sha Zhu heard Liang Ladi say that, he scolded, "You little brat, get up and get out of here right now."

Upon hearing Sha Zhu's words, Cui Dake quickly clutched his stomach, got up, and ran away.
