Siheyuan: I just came across and wanted to chase me away

Chapter 742 Threatening Liu Lan

Director Yang sighed helplessly and said, "Alas, some things cannot be explained in detail. You know, times have changed, and many things are beyond our control. Take Director Lou of our steel mill, for example. He was smart. He handed over all his assets early on and followed the trend. He ended up in a stable situation."

Director Yang didn't expect him to come back so soon.

Gu Nan knew that Director Yang was telling him this because he considered him his confidant. He looked at the director and said sincerely, "It's okay, Director. Justice is in the hearts of the people. No matter how the situation changes, we just need to have a clear conscience. In this case, I will go back first. If there is anything you need me to do, just let me know."

Director Yang looked at Gu Nan's departing back and opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but the words never came out. He knew very well that the current situation was complicated and changeable, and many things could only be done one step at a time.

As soon as Gu Nan walked out of the door, he ran into Director Li - no, he should be called Deputy Director Li now. Deputy Director Li had a smug smile on his face, deliberately stopped Gu Nan, and said provocatively: "How is it, Gu Nan? I am still working in the steel mill, not only that, I have also been promoted. Weren't you quite capable before? What can you do to me now?"

Gu Nan looked at Deputy Director Li calmly and said in a light tone: "Deputy Director, I still have to go to work, and time is tight. If you don't have anything particularly important, please let me go. Otherwise, it will delay the work, which is not good."

Gu Nan looked at Deputy Director Li in front of him, sneered in his heart, deliberately emphasized the tone of the word "deputy", and said slowly: "Deputy Director Li, there are some things you have to weigh." The tone was as if reminding the other party not to forget that he is just a deputy director now, and has nothing to be arrogant about.

Deputy Director Li's face darkened at Gu Nan's slightly sarcastic tone, and he was about to open his mouth to refute, but Gu Nan did not give him a chance and turned and walked away. This time, Gu Nan did not return to his office as usual, but hurriedly walked towards the kitchen.

As soon as Gu Nan entered the kitchen, he said to Zhong Yi who was busy with work in a serious manner: "Zhong Yi, go and ask Ma Hua and Liu Lan to come over. I have something important to tell them." When Zhong Yi heard Gu Nan's serious tone, he knew that something big must have happened. He did not dare to delay and immediately put down the work in his hands and hurried to find someone.

After a while, Ma Hua and Liu Lan hurried over under the leadership of Zhong Yi. Gu Nan looked at the three of them, his eyes lingering on each of their faces for a moment, and then said seriously: "I'll remind you that Director Li is back, and this time he is the deputy director of the steel rolling mill. From what I know about him, I guess he will come to you. When the time comes, no matter what happens, you can just tell me directly."

Gu Nan was not actually worried that Ma Hua and Zhong Yi would betray him, as they had been together for a long time and knew each other well. But Liu Lan's situation was a bit complicated, as no one knew how many secrets this Li had mastered about Liu Lan, and what means he would use to coerce or bribe her.

After hearing what Gu Nan said, Ma Hua immediately patted his chest and assured: "Master, you can rest assured. I, Ma Hua, will never betray you. My heart will always be with you." After saying that, he looked at Zhong Yi with determination in his eyes.

Then, everyone's eyes fell on Liu Lan. Liu Lan felt everyone's gaze, smiled, tried to make herself look calm, and said: "Director Gu, I understand what you mean. I also know that the surname Li is not a good person. I betrayed him last time, and he will definitely not believe me easily this time. Don't worry."

Gu Nan looked at Liu Lan. Although he was skeptical about what she said, there was really no other way at the moment. He had said everything he needed to say. As for what each of them would do, he could only wait and see.

After Gu Nan finished explaining the matter, he returned to his office. Liu Lan seemed listless and worried for the rest of the day. She felt like she had a rabbit in her heart, and she was very nervous because she really didn't know what Li's next plan would be and what kind of trouble it would bring her.

Liu Lan waited until the end of the workday, but Deputy Director Li did not come to see her. She was secretly relieved, thinking that the matter was over. However, as she was walking on the way home, a familiar figure suddenly walked out from the corner.

"Liu Lan, long time no see." Deputy Director Li said slowly with an unfathomable smile on his face.

Liu Lan was startled by the sudden voice and looked closely. It turned out to be Deputy Director Li. Her heart tightened, but she pretended to be calm and asked, "Deputy Director Li, I don't know why you are stopping me?"

Deputy Director Li smiled, and there seemed to be a subtle sinisterness hidden in that smile. He said, "Okay, Liu Lan, I don't mean to blame you this time. Think about it, although if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been withdrawn, but think about it from another perspective. If I hadn't experienced all that, I might not be the deputy director now."

Liu Lan was even more confused when she heard Deputy Director Li's strange remarks. Although she didn't know what he meant, she hurriedly said, "I don't have much status in the kitchen anymore, and I don't have many resources. I'm afraid I can't help you."

Deputy Factory Director Li smiled disapprovingly and said, "It's okay, you don't have to do anything now, just stay in the kitchen quietly. I tell you, although I am only a deputy factory director now, in a few days, the position of factory director will be mine. When I take the position of factory director, it will be time for me to deal with Gu Nan properly."

Liu Lan was shocked when she heard what Deputy Director Li said. She didn't expect him to be so confident this time. She looked at Deputy Director Li, hesitated for a moment, and then hurriedly said, "I know I was wrong, Deputy Director Li, I will definitely be your man in the future. No, you will be the director in the future, and I will definitely follow your lead." Deputy Director Li nodded with satisfaction and looked at Liu Lan, as if he had seen the moment when he successfully overthrew Gu Nan...

As soon as Liu Lan left, Deputy Director Li stood there, staring coldly in the direction of the steel mill, with a hint of sinisterness in his eyes, and whispered to himself: "Director Yang, humph, now is the perfect time to deal with you."
