My happy life in a courtyard house with triplets.

Chapter 199: Factory Director Yang Pleads for Mercy

After leaving the courtyard house, Xu's father took Xu's mother straight to the Lou family's house.

As soon as they arrived at the Lou family's door, before they could even knock, they were stopped by the bodyguards at the entrance.

Mr. Xu quickly put on a smiling face and said, "Brother, please inform him that Xu Fugui requests an audience with Master Lou, as he has urgent business to ask."

The bodyguard sized them up and down. Seeing that the two were simply dressed and didn't seem like they were there to cause trouble, he nodded and said, "Wait here."

After saying that, he turned and went into the courtyard.

Lou Bancheng soon learned from the bodyguard about the arrival of Xu's parents.

Thinking of how many years Xu Fugui had worked for his family, Lou Bancheng nodded and said to the bodyguard, "Let them in."

Soon, Mr. and Mrs. Xu, led by bodyguards, arrived in front of Lou Bancheng.

Lou Bancheng glanced at them and said in a calm tone, "Xu Fugui, what brings you here?"

Mr. Xu rushed forward, his voice trembling with tears, and said, "Master Lou, please help me, please save my son, Da Mao!"

Then, Xu's father recounted in detail the grudges and affections between Xu Damao and He Yuzhu, as well as the matter of Xu Damao's arrest.

Lou Bancheng frowned after hearing this and said, "This is a private matter between your two families, and it's not appropriate for me to interfere. Besides, what your son did was too heinous. Although there were reasons for it, it has now escalated to the police station, and it's not appropriate for me to get involved."

Hearing Lou Bancheng say this, Xu's father's heart sank completely. He said with a bitter smile, "Since even Master Lou can't do anything, let's think of other ways."

Lou Bancheng waved his hand and said to the butler, "Give them a hundred yuan."

"One hundred yuan?" Mr. and Mrs. Xu were stunned for a moment, clearly not understanding what Lou Bancheng meant.

The housekeeper handed the two a hundred yuan to them. Xu's parents took the money and left the Lou family home, looking dejected.

After leaving the Lou family's gate, Xu's mother looked at Xu's father and asked, puzzled, "Old Xu, what does Lou Bancheng mean by this?"

Looking at the hundred yuan in his hand, Mr. Xu said with a grim expression, "He's using this hundred yuan to sever ties with us!"

Mrs. Xu was still puzzled, and asked with a frown, "What do you mean by severing ties? Haven't we been working for their family all this time?"

Mr. Xu sighed, lowering his voice even further: "What I mean is, we shouldn't use past favors to ask him for favors anymore. This hundred yuan is a one-time settlement of all the goodwill we've accumulated over the years."

He gave a wry smile: "We've served him for so many years, and in the end, all we get is a hundred dollars."

Xu's mother's eyes reddened as she listened, but she dared not cry out loud.

Father Xu gritted his teeth and muttered under his breath, "The Lou family won't have a good end either!"

After saying that, he kept his head down and quickly left the Lou family home with his wife.

Along the way, Xu's mother couldn't help but sigh, her mind in turmoil, not knowing how to rescue Xu Damao.

In the courtyard of the siheyuan, He Daqing had just finished packing his things and was preparing to go to the hospital with He Yushui to visit He Yuzhu when he suddenly heard someone calling him.

He Daqing frowned, wondering who it was. When he opened the door, he saw Yang Ying standing there.

He Daqing paused for a moment, then looked her up and down: "You are...?"

Yang Ying smiled slightly and said, "I am the director of the steel rolling mill. You can just call me Director Yang."

"Yes, Director Yang, please come in quickly." He Daqing hurriedly stepped aside to let her into the room.

Factory Director Yang handed the things in his hand to He Daqing and said, "I heard that Zhu Zi was injured, so I came to see him."

He Daqing took the items and quickly expressed his gratitude: "Thank you, Director Yang, for such a good leader. It's truly an honor for Zhuzi to have a leader like you."

Factory Director Yang waved his hand and said, "Comrade Zhu is a good comrade, down-to-earth and hardworking. Now that the canteen is not as good as it used to be without him."

He Daqing laughed and said, "He can only cook big pot dishes; his other cooking is nothing special. Don't praise him too much."

At this moment, Director Yang glanced at He Daqing and changed the subject: "Uncle He, I heard you're also a cook. I wonder if you have any plans lately? We're currently looking for a deputy director position in the canteen. Would you be interested?"

Hearing this, He Daqing was overjoyed. He had been worried about finding a job, but unexpectedly, one came knocking on his door.

He Daqing quickly said, "If you could make me the deputy director of the cafeteria, I guarantee I could raise the quality of our food to a whole new level!"

Seeing that He Daqing agreed so readily, Factory Director Yang nodded: "Okay, but..."

Upon hearing the word "however," He Daqing's heart skipped a beat. He frowned and quickly asked, "Director Yang, however what?"

Factory Director Yang looked at He Daqing and slowly said, "However, our factory needs to process a batch of parts recently, which requires senior technicians. I heard that you and Yi Zhonghai have some conflicts. I wonder if you could lend a hand and ask Yi Zhonghai to get out of the police station and help the factory finish processing these parts?"

Upon hearing this, He Daqing's smile instantly froze on his face.

He suddenly raised his head and met Director Yang's sharp gaze.

The air seemed to freeze at that moment. A storm raged within He Daqing's heart; he never imagined that Director Yang's visit was for that old bastard, Yi Zhonghai!

He Daqing narrowed his eyes, his fingers gripping the hem of his clothes tightly, suppressing his anger as he asked in a deep voice, "Director Yang, what do you mean by this? Yi Zhonghai committed a crime; he was arrested by the police. How can I possibly say he can be released just like that?"

Factory Director Yang looked at He Daqing and said sincerely, "I know what happened between you two, but aren't Sha Zhu and He Yushui both fine now? They haven't suffered any real harm. If you're willing to be lenient, I guarantee you'll be the deputy director of the canteen. If you have any other requests, feel free to make them."

Hearing this, He Daqing frowned, even more shocked. He hadn't expected that old man Yi Zhonghai had such powerful connections that he could get the director of the steel rolling mill to come and plead for him personally.

He Daqing shook his head and said firmly, "Director Yang, since you've come to plead for leniency, I'll tell you the truth. My daughter and son have suffered for so many years; it can't be forgiven with just a few words."

As he spoke, He Daqing handed back the gift that Factory Director Yang had brought.

Factory Director Yang's expression changed slightly as he watched He Daqing's actions, and he asked, "Is there really no room for compromise?"

He Daqing shook his head and said coldly, "I will accept whatever the court decides. As for forgiving Yi Zhonghai, that's impossible."

Factory Director Yang glanced at He Daqing and immediately knew there was no hope. He couldn't help but feel a little angry and said, "Fine, fine, the He family is indeed stubborn. I've just been offered a warm welcome but received a cold shoulder."

With that, he picked up the gift he had brought and slammed the door shut as he left.

Seeing this scene, He Daqing was not angry at all; instead, he sneered.
