Chapter 105 Preparing for a Date
Wang Tiezhu returned to the kitchen in a depressed mood.

"Director, what's wrong with you?" Li Shengli looked at Wang Tiezhu curiously. Why did he look as wilted as an eggplant hit by frost?
"Nothing. Director Xu also helped me apply for a project."

Li Shengli almost laughed out loud. You, Wang Tiezhu, were just helping someone sign up for a project in the kitchen. Now it’s your turn.

The workers in the workshop were also talking about the sports meeting. Although the prizes were not valuable, everyone was still happy to participate in the event.

As the working hours were approaching, other workers went home one after another. When Li Shunli got off work and returned to the courtyard, people in the courtyard were also discussing this matter.

We are all employees of the steel rolling mill and its affiliated units. It is not common to have a sports meet like this one that is held every few years.

"Xu Damao, which project did you sign up for?" Liu Guangtian, who lived in the backyard with Xu Damao, asked curiously.

"He, I think he is more suitable for skipping rope and shuttlecock kicking." After hearing what Liu Guangtian said, Sha Zhu looked down on Xu Damao.

"Why?" Liu Guangfu asked curiously.

"These are all played by women." Sha Zhu said with a laugh.

The others also laughed, but Xu Damao was very angry.

"Silly Zhu, who the hell are you talking about?"

"Why is what I said wrong? How about we try it together?" Sha Zhu stood up and pretended to walk towards Xu Damao.

"I won't argue with you." Xu Damao immediately became scared and hid behind.

"In fact, Xu Damao should participate in the sprint." said a young man from another factory.

"Oh? What's the reason?" Liu Guangtian didn't understand this time.

"Look how fast Xu Damao runs every time he is chased by Sha Zhu." The young man laughed first after he said this.

"Hahaha, yeah, that idiot Zhu can also participate." said someone who was joining in the fun.

Sha Zhu was not angry, but Xu Damao was angry, but no one cared.

In the following period of time, the workers in the steel rolling mill will practice on their own when they are free. Each workshop will also find retired soldiers from the security department who are familiar with them to guide them in the formation. Then they will enter the factory according to the workshop.

Li Shengli didn't practice too much and signed up for the long jump. He had tried it before and thought there should be no problem with his strength and long legs.

For the next period of time, when Li Shengli had nothing to do, he would visit Han Qiuyun's home. One Sunday, Li Shengli went out to take a private job, and when he came back, he sent the small cooking he brought to Han Qiuyun's home so that they could also taste his cooking skills.

During this period, Li Shengli often appeared in Han Qiuyun's courtyard. Han Qiuyun gradually got used to Li Shengli, and people in the courtyard of No. 36 Shuijing Hutong also knew who Li Shengli was.

Yan Bugui was still wondering why Li Shengli didn't bring home a lunch box from the private job he took on Sunday. He had been planning to go to Li Shengli's place for a meal.

The sports meet was about to open that day. After work, Li Shengli rode his bike to Han Qiuyun's house and found Han Qiuyun.

"Lee Seung-ri, what do you want to talk to me about?" Now that their relationship is established, meetings are no longer so awkward, and they start talking and laughing.

"I came to play with you. By the way, is your factory going to hold a sports meeting on May Day?" Li Shengli said with a smile, touching his head.

"Our factory won't hold it this year." Han Qiuyun shook his head. Not every factory will hold these activities.

"It's a pity that you have to go to work that day, otherwise you could come to our factory and have a look." Li Shengli said with some regret.

The two chatted for a while, and when Han Qiuyun was ready to go home, Li Shengli called Han Qiuyun. "The May Day holiday is coming soon, do you have anything to do that day?" Li Shengli only then said the purpose of his visit, "Let's go to the movies."

"Well..." Han Qiuyun hesitated.

"It's settled then. I'll come to see you that morning and bring your sister along." Li Shengli said before Han Qiuyun could answer.

"It's settled." Li Shengli looked at Han Qiuyun with a smile, fearing that Han Qiuyun would refuse.

Han Qiuyun didn't say anything, not knowing whether she should refuse.

"Then I'll go first." Li Shengli was delighted. After sending Han Qiuyun home, he rode his bicycle back to the courtyard.

"Qiuyun, what's wrong with you? What does Li Shengli want to see you about?" Old Mrs. Han Qiuyun remained silent and asked worriedly.

"He asked me out on May Day." Han Qiuyun said after thinking for a while.

"Then let's go. I want to go to the movies too." Before Mrs. Han could say anything, Han Qiuyu came over and heard what she said.

"By the way, let Qiuyu go with you." Old Lady Han wanted to see what kind of person Li Shengli was.
"I have inquired for you before, and his family situation is indeed as he said, but do you remember the newspaper a while ago?"

"What newspaper?" Han Qiuyu asked with a blink.

"There was a report about a rescue in the winter," Old Mrs. Han reminded.

"Is it the one who saved the child who fell into the water?" Han Qiuyun said after thinking for a while.

"Yes, that's the one." Old Mrs. Han nodded. "I heard that the one who saved the life was Li Shengli."

"It's really him, why didn't he say anything?" Han Qiuyu said in shock.

"Maybe he doesn't want to say it." Old Mrs. Han didn't know what Li Shengli was thinking.

After listening to what Old Lady Han said, Han Qiuyun thought about it in silence.

"It's okay, sister. I'll go with you that day. You two have only known each other for a short time." Han Qiuyu said, patting her chest.

"I think you want to go to the movies." Han Qiuyun rolled her eyes at her sister in annoyance.

Han Qiuyu just laughed.

"Let your sister go with you." Old Mrs. Han nodded and said, she was also worried about letting Han Qiuyun go out with Li Shengli alone.

"Okay." Han Qiuyun thought about it carefully and felt that her grandmother was right. After responding to her grandmother, she rolled her eyes at her sister.

If there is really no other choice, I will try to get along with Lee Seung-ri first. I don't hate Lee Seung-ri, and Lee Seung-ri also agreed to support my grandmother. I don't need to worry about my sister, as she will get married one day.

After making an appointment with Han Qiuyun, Li Shengli exclaimed in his heart, this relationship is progressing step by step, and it won't be long before they get married.

Humming a little tune, he returned to his home shaking his head, leaving behind everyone in the courtyard looking at Li Shengli's back with puzzled eyes. Yi Zhonghai also looked at Li Shengli thoughtfully.

Li Shengli didn't notice their looks. Anyway, Li Shengli planned not to let anyone in the compound know about Han Qiuyun's existence before he got married. Otherwise, someone might say bad things about him in front of Han Qiuyun.
