Chapter 62 Xu Damao Flirts with Ding Qiunan

"Brother Zhao, what day is it today? Why are there so many workers from other factories coming over?"
As soon as Xu Damao arrived at work, he saw workers from other plants entering the Red Star Rolling Mill. Driven by curiosity, he approached the security guard to ask.
"These are workers from the affiliated factories under the Red Star Rolling Mill who are here to study. You, don't you go entertaining any wild thoughts."
Zhao Zhiyong chuckled and teased.
Xu Damao was notorious in the Red Star Rolling Mill; how could Zhao Zhiyong not know what was on Xu Damao's mind? He must have set his sights on one of the female workers among them.
"Hey, Brother Zhao, am I that kind of person? I'm just curious about who they are."
With that, Xu Damao walked into the rolling mill with a greenish glint in his eyes, rubbing his hands together as he left, a lewd smile plastered across his face.
"That young chick is truly not bad at all. No, I must have a good time with her this time. If that fellow Wang Lin sees her, she'll definitely end up in his harem again," Xu Damao thought to himself, sneakingly following behind them.
Li Huaide was also quite idle right now. He had grown bored of playing with all the pretty women in the factory. Learning that people from the subordinate plants were coming to study today, he had also run out to secretly hunt for targets.
As for a girl like Ding Qiunan, Li Huaide wasn't all that interested; he would much rather send her straight to Wang Lin's bed.
With just a woman like Ding Qiunan, he might even be able to secure a promotion.
Among the workers from these subordinate plants, the one he fancied the most was the pretty widow Liang Ladi.
"Not bad, not bad, this chick has a lot of flavor," Li Huaide muttered to himself as he walked toward workshop number one.
In workshop number one, Liu Haizhong was leading the visiting workers from the branch factory and showing them around.
"This is our workshop's eighth-grade locksmith, Yi Zhonghai, Master Yi. Master Yi's technical skill is top-notch throughout the entire Four Nine City, so you must all study hard under him."
Just as Liu Haizhong was high-spiritedly pointing out the landscape and giving instructions, Li Huaide arrived.
Seeing Li Huaide, Liu Haizhong quickly stopped his grand lecturing and trotted over to Li Huaide's side.
"Director Li, how is it that you have time to come over?"
Li Huaide smiled, nodded, and said to Liu Haizhong, "Director Liu, carry on with your work. I just came by to take a look."
"Understood, Director Li."
After returning to his spot, Liu Haizhong didn't immediately resume his guidance; instead, he began to introduce Li Huaide first.
"This is our Red Star Rolling Mill's vice-factory director and concurrently director of the revolutionary committee, Director Li Huaide."
"Hello, Director Li."
Li Huaide was quite pleased with Liu Haizhong. He had come over precisely to put on airs and show off; otherwise, how could he attract Liang Ladi's attention?
Li Huaide had no idea that the new bride he had reserved for Wang Lin had already caught the eye of Xu Damao.
Meanwhile, at the Red Star Rolling Mill's clinic, Xu Damao blocked Ding Qiunan's path, flashing what he considered to be an extremely handsome smile and locking eyes with her with a gaze he believed to be deeply affectionate.
"Hello, I'm Xu Damao, a projectionist from the rolling mill's propaganda department. May I ask what your name is, comrade?"
Ding Qiunan frowned, a wave of disgust rising in her heart, and replied coldly, "Move aside, or else I'm going to shout that someone is harassing me."
Although Ding Qiunan longed for a perfect romance, to protect herself, she had always used an icy demeanor to keep everything at bay. Otherwise, given her looks, she would have been driven crazy by all the men pursuing her.
Moreover, she had already developed a slight fondness for someone—the chef of their factory, Nan Yi.
Xu Damao's expression stiffened. He never imagined that he, a seasoned expert at claiming first times, could actually suffer an unfavorable start today.
"Comrade, do you like watching movies? I can take you to the projection room to watch a movie, you know!"
Xu Damao was unwilling to give up just like that and continued to tempt Ding Qiunan with the prospect of movies.
Seeing Xu Damao's relentless badgering only made Ding Qiunan despise him even more.
"Sorry, I don't like watching movies. Please step aside."
Internal rage boiled inside Xu Damao. Ding Qiunan's utter imperviousness to soft and hard tactics left him feeling extremely aggrieved. If not for the presence of so many people around, he definitely would have pushed Ding Qiunan down right then and there.
"Hey, Xu Damao, Qiunan is not someone you can just harass."
At that moment, Liu Yiwan walked over.
Liu Yiwan directly ignored Xu Damao; his gaze never left Ding Qiunan's face.
"Hehehe, today is truly my lucky day. My very first day at work and I get to meet such a pretty young girl."
Imagining the scenario of pinning Ding Qiunan beneath him, Liu Yiwan unconsciously licked the corner of his mouth.
Ding Qiunan looked coldly at Liu Yiwan. The moment their eyes met, her mind drifted into a brief trance. However, because it lasted only a split second, she didn't pay it much mind, assuming it was simply the result of not getting enough rest.
"Liu Yiwan, are you trying to snatch a woman from me?"
Xu Damao glared at Liu Yiwan with burning anger. He had already grown to loathe Liu Yiwan and had decided to retaliate against him later.
Liu Yiwan glanced at Xu Damao with utter disdain and said indifferently, "So what if I snatched her? What kind of thing are you? Don't forget, the clinic is my territory."
A smile surfaced on Liu Yiwan's face as he walked up to Ding Qiunan and flashed a charming grin.
"Comrade, do you believe in love at first sight? I like you."
Looking at Liu Yiwan, who thought himself utterly charming, Ding Qiunan felt a wave of nausea and replied coldly, "Sorry, I am spoken for."
Liu Yiwan was just about to speak further when Xu Damao could no longer hold back.
"Damn it, how dare you try to snatch the woman I've set my sights on right in front of me! I'll beat you to death."
Consumed by blinding rage, Xu Damao threw a direct punch at Liu Yiwan.
Faced with Xu Damao's attack, Liu Yiwan smiled contemptuously, easily dodging the fist. Following closely after, Xu Damao inexplicably tripped and fell flat on the ground.
"Such a good-for-nothing. I didn't even touch you and you fell down. You wouldn't be trying to shake me down for money, would you?"
Because he was accustomed to being bullied back in the courtyard, Xu Damao hadn't initially thought of shaking Liu Yiwan down, but he couldn't resist when Liu Yiwan literally put the idea in his head.
"Aiyo! Liu Yiwan is hitting people! Where are the security guards? Are you people just going to stand by and do nothing?"
Knowing he was no match for Liu Yiwan, Xu Damao could only find a way to attract the security department to come and preside over justice for him.
He believed that based on the favors and items he had given them in the past, the security guards would definitely side with him. When that happened, he would extort a hefty sum of money from Liu Yiwan.
Watching Xu Damao start to howl and wail, Ding Qiunan looked at him with even greater disgust, while simultaneously feeling profoundly grateful that she hadn't agreed to give him the time of day.
Seeing Xu Damao start making a groundless scene and creating a nuisance, Liu Yiwan began to grow impatient.
"Ouch! What the hell just bit my precious treasure?"
Suddenly, Xu Damao, who had been howling to win sympathy, felt a sharp pain in his most precious treasure. The pain made him cry out in shock; he bounced straight up into the air, entirely forgetting to continue his wailing and extortion attempt against Liu Yiwan. Without a second thought, he hastily pulled down his pants to inspect his prized asset.
Xu Damao was truly terrified now. This precious treasure of his had only just recovered with great difficulty. If it were to be injured and rendered impotent again, the mere thought made his flesh ache—that meant a fortune in money.
As a seasoned pro at seduction, having Xu Damao spend money to chase women was fine, but asking him to spend money on medical treatments? Forget about it.
