Chapter 104 The Forgotten Protagonist
After hearing Li Huaide's words, Li Qin immediately understood what the other party meant;
He quickly said;
"Uncle Li, don't worry, I'll stay at the steel mill tomorrow night and make sure the meat is delivered before dawn."
Seeing that Li Qin understood his meaning, Li Huaide smiled with satisfaction.
However, Li Huaide then added:
"You have a lot to do tomorrow night, so you need to be mentally and physically prepared. Therefore, you can rest at home tomorrow and don't need to come to the steel mill."
I will inform the purchasing department to count my attendance as if I were out purchasing.
Come to the steel rolling mill again near the end of the workday in the afternoon. We can have lunch together in the small canteen, and I can introduce you to a few people while we're at it.
Li Qin was overjoyed to hear that he didn't have to come to the steel mill tomorrow.
That way, he can go do his own thing.
As for Li Huaide inviting him to have dinner together at the steel rolling mill after get off work, he smiled and nodded in agreement.
However, Li Qin was somewhat surprised by the other party's suggestion to introduce them.
He was also curious about who it could be.
However, I certainly can't ask directly. I'll find out when we eat tomorrow.
Li Qin still had that much patience.
At the same time, the loudspeaker announced the end of the workday.
"You must be tired after a long day, go home and get some rest."
Li Huaide was still quite humane. Knowing that Li Qin had made a trip today, he didn't keep him talking after finishing his business.
Instead, they told Li Qin to go back and rest early.
Li Qin did not refuse the other party's kindness.
After saying goodbye to the other party, he left Li Huaide's office.
He first went to the firearms department and returned the pistol he had previously received.
Since the ammunition was unused, returning it was very simple.
After finishing, Li Qin walked straight to the bike shed, intending to ride his bike back to the courtyard house.
But when he reached the bike shed, he suddenly stopped.
"I'll keep a low profile for the next few days and won't be riding my bicycle back for now."
Although the purchasing staff would distribute bicycles, those were all very old; Li Qin's was different.
If they were to ride back to the courtyard house, it would definitely cause quite a stir.
Li Qin wasn't afraid of people from courtyard houses; he just disliked trouble.
After a few days, once the meat business was over, he would have firmly established himself and accumulated some capital.
Then you can ride the bicycle back to the courtyard house, and there won't be any problem.
Furthermore, it can also grant a large amount of emotional power.
Thinking of this, Li Qin immediately turned around and left the shed, slowly walking towards the courtyard.
Because Li Qin left as soon as he heard the horn signaling the end of the workday, there weren't many other people leaving when he did.
I didn't encounter a single person working at the steel rolling mill in the courtyard.
After walking a distance, Li Qin turned around and crawled behind an obstacle next to him.
Many people around saw it, but they weren't surprised.
Just assume he's looking for a place to urinate.
This kind of thing happens far too often.
Li Qin was certainly not going to relieve himself. After avoiding the gaze of those around him, he immediately cast an illusion spell on himself.
Although he was preparing to return to the courtyard house, he did not intend for anyone to know.
Today is his first day at work, and tonight some people he doesn't want to see might come looking for him.
Li Qin really wasn't in the mood to deal with things today, so he decided to use Apparition to return to his room in the courtyard.
Then proceed directly to the planting area.
I'll reappear tomorrow.
He is now a formal purchasing agent and has a purchasing certificate issued by the steel rolling mill for going to the countryside. If anyone asks him...
He could easily say he went to the countryside yesterday and hasn't returned since.
This is the benefit of having a job.
Many things have been given explanations and cover-ups.
And it's the kind of thing where you don't have to worry about being exposed.
With a soft "snap" sound, Li Qin had returned to the courtyard house.
He first glanced around the room and found nothing amiss compared to when he left. Then he took out the magic suitcase, placed it in a corner, and went inside.
The box closed automatically after he entered.
Li Qin was not worried at all about someone breaking into the room and finding the box on the floor.
Because when this magic case was made, confusion runes were already engraved on it.
It can confuse ordinary people's perception of boxes.
Even if someone saw the box, they would subconsciously ignore it. While Li Qin was enjoying dinner in the space, Yi Zhonghai, Jia Dongxu, and other residents who also worked at the steel rolling mill returned to the courtyard one after another.
As Yi Zhonghai passed by the front yard, his eyes lingered on Li Qin's house for a long time.
Upon discovering that there were no lights on and no movement, a look of disappointment flashed across his face.
This made Jia Dongxu, who had been watching his reaction closely, frown.
However, she quickly put on a smile again.
Jia Dongxu hadn't forgotten the conversation at home last night, and now, no matter what Yi Zhonghai was thinking, he had to pretend he didn't know.
"Have I forgotten something?"
After finishing dinner and making himself a cup of tea, a look of doubt suddenly flashed across Li Qin's face.
For some reason, he felt as if he had forgotten something.
And it's not a small matter.
Li Qin immediately began to recall;
Suddenly, a look of embarrassment flashed across his face;
"Oh dear, I got so busy that I completely forgot about He Yuzhu, the main character."
Only then did Li Qin realize that he still hadn't been able to remove the several poison curses from He Yuzhu, whom he had dealt with yesterday.
"Fortunately, these minor poison curses are not very lethal, otherwise He Yuzhu might have already been poisoned."
Li Qin quickly lifted the curse on He Yuzhu remotely.
Although he felt a little embarrassed, Li Qin thought about how He Yuzhu had tried to ambush him yesterday, and how viciously he had done so.
The slight embarrassment he felt vanished instantly.
Having mastered immense power, Li Qin also worried that he might become addicted to it and lose his moral compass.
Living in a courtyard house, he didn't want to be a saint or a good person, but at the same time, he didn't want to be a bad person either.
His mindset was that he would not offend others unless they offended him.
If He Yuzhu hadn't tried to be ruthless towards him yesterday, he wouldn't have been punished by him.
Ultimately, He Yuzhu's misfortune was entirely of his own making.
After the curse was broken, Li Qin quickly forgot about He Yuzhu.
Just as Li Qin was breaking the spell, a pleasant sound suddenly came from He Yuzhu's house.
The one who made the sound was naturally He Yuzhu.
At this moment, He Yuzhu's image was rather pitiful, even terrifying and disgusting.
His entire body was covered with large, unsightly boils.
This is precisely the effect of the minor poison curse.
When these things first appeared on his body yesterday, He Yuzhu rushed to the hospital.
After examining He Yuzhu, the doctor only diagnosed it as a skin condition, prescribed some medication, and then let him leave.
After returning home, He Yuzhu realized that his condition had worsened, so he immediately took his medication and rested as prescribed by his doctor.
I thought my condition would be better the next day.
Unexpectedly, instead of getting better, it got even more serious, and even He Yuzhu himself was frightened.
So he asked others to help him ask for leave through the door, while he himself hid in the room and didn't dare to go out.
