Siheyuan: tomb robbing? I am serious about hunting.

Chapter 619 Waiting for the opportunity

Chu Tian was curious and quietly approached the utility room. He looked inside through the crack in the door and was shocked by the scene in front of him - Liu Lan and Li Huaide were having an affair inside! Liu Lan was also an employee of the factory cafeteria. She was usually close to Li Huaide, but she didn't expect that they had such a relationship. Chu Tian subconsciously wanted to turn around and leave, but he felt that this was a rare opportunity. He knew that if this secret was spread, Li Huaide's reputation and status would be ruined. And he might be able to use this secret to gain some benefits for himself. Just as Chu Tian was about to leave quietly, he accidentally touched the broom next to him. With a "clang", the sound of the broom falling to the ground was particularly harsh in the quiet corridor. The two people in the utility room heard the sound and immediately panicked. Li Huaide hurriedly tidied up his clothes and opened the door, just in time to see Chu Tian standing at the door. His face turned pale in an instant, and his eyes were full of fear and panic. "Chu... Chu Tian, ​​why are you here?" Li Huaide asked stutteringly, with a tremor in his voice. Chu Tian smiled pretending to be calm and said, "Master Li, I'm so sorry. I came to see you for something and accidentally heard something I shouldn't have heard." When Li Huaide heard this, his heart skipped a beat. He knew that the matter could no longer be concealed. He quickly pulled Chu Tian into the utility room, while Liu Lan hid aside, lowering her head, not daring to look at Chu Tian. "Chu Tian, ​​please, don't tell anyone about this." Li Huaide begged bitterly, "If it gets out, my life will be over." Chu Tian looked at Li Huaide's embarrassed look, and was secretly proud of himself, but he pretended to be embarrassed on his face: "Master Li, you make this very difficult for me. If this matter is known to others, I will not be able to escape the responsibility." "I know, I know." Li Huaide said quickly, "As long as you don't tell anyone, you have any requirements, just mention it, and I will definitely satisfy you." Chu Tian had already made up his mind, and he smiled "Master Li, I don't want to embarrass you. I just arrived at the factory and I'm not familiar with the work. Can you take care of me at work?" "Okay, no problem!" Li Huaide agreed without thinking, "If you have any problems at work in the future, just come to me and I will definitely help." "What else?" Chu Tian said slowly, "I heard that there is a promotion opportunity in the factory recently. Do you think you can..." "This..." Li Huaide hesitated a little. Promotion is not a trivial matter. Although he has some power, he can't decide casually. "Master Li, if you feel embarrassed, forget it. But this matter..." Chu Tian deliberately dragged out his voice, revealing a hint of threat in his eyes. Li Huaide gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I will try my best to help you. But you must promise me that this matter must not be told to anyone." "Don't worry, Master Li, I Chu Tian keeps my word." Chu Tian patted his chest and said confidently. After coming out of the utility room, Chu Tian showed a barely perceptible smile on his face. He knew that his plan was half successful. Next, what he had to do was to wait for the opportunity and let Li Huaide act according to his plan step by step. Back at work, Chu Tian still worked hard as usual and got along well with his colleagues. But in his heart, he was always thinking about how to use this secret to make Li Huaide work for him. After a few days, the factory really began to discuss promotion. Chu Tian was very active in front of the leader and put forward some constructive opinions on the work according to what he had discussed with Li Huaide in advance. And Li Huaide also spoke well of him behind his back and helped him get opportunities. With the help of Li Huaide, Chu Tian successfully got the opportunity to be promoted. He was so happy in his heart, but on the surface he was still grateful to Li Huaide. "Master Li, thanks to you this time, if it weren't for your help, how could I have this opportunity." Chu Tian said to Li Huaide with a smile. "You're welcome, it's all the result of your own efforts." Although Li Huaide was a little reluctant in his heart, he could only smile. He knew that he had been controlled by Chu Tian and could only obey. However, Chu Tian was not satisfied with this. He felt that Li Huaide had greater value. One day, he found Li Huaide and said, "Master Li, my family has been in trouble recently and I am a little short of money. Can you..." When Li Huaide heard this, he understood. Although he was very reluctant, he did not dare to refuse, so he could only take out some money from his savings and give it to Chu Tian. "Chu Tian, ​​this is my last savings, please don't embarrass me anymore." Li Huaide said helplessly. "Don't worry, Master Li, I won't bother you anymore." Chu Tian took the money and said with a smile. But he was thinking in his heart that this was just the beginning, and there would be more benefits waiting for him in the future. As time went on, Chu Tian's calculations on Li Huaide became deeper and deeper. Not only did he let Li Huaide pave the way for him at work, but he also constantly asked for benefits from Li Huaide in life. And Li Huaide, in order to keep his secrets, could only compromise again and again. Finally, one day, Li Huaide could no longer bear such a life. He felt like a puppet controlled by Chu Tian, ​​losing his freedom and dignity. He decided to find a way to get rid of Chu Tian's control. Li Huaide began to secretly investigate Chu Tian, ​​trying to find something to hold against him so that he could threaten him. After some effort, he finally discovered a secret of Chu Tian - Chu Tian had made some mistakes in his previous work. Although they were not discovered, if they were exposed, his career would be over. Li Huaide took this handle and found Chu Tian, ​​saying, "Chu Tian, ​​don't go too far. If you force me like this again, I will tell your secrets." Chu Tian was shocked when he heard this, but he quickly calmed down. He smiled and said, "Master Li, why are you doing this? We have been cooperating well, why do we have to break up?" "Cooperation? You are using me!" Li Huaide said angrily, "From today on, our deal is over, and you don't want to get any benefits from me anymore." Chu Tian looked at Li Huaide and knew that he was really angry this time. He was also thinking about whether to continue fighting with Li Huaide or just give up. After some thinking, Chu Tian decided to quit while he was ahead. He smiled and said to Li Huaide: "Master Li, since you said so, I won't force it. Let's just pretend that this incident never happened and we will still be good colleagues in the future." Li Huaide looked at Chu Tian and said half-doubtfully: "Will you really let me go so easily?"
