In 1992, a small village owner became the richest man in the village by owning a car.

Chapter 310 Going to the construction site where my second uncle works
“However, this matter needs to be considered carefully.” Yu Dawei crossed his arms and thought for a while. “The difficulty of this matter is just like liking the boss’s wife but not daring to tell her.”

"What kind of weird analogy is that? Besides, would I like her? She's as fat as a little sow." Manager Chang rolled his eyes at Yu Dawei, quite certain that he had absolutely no interest in the noodle shop owner.

Most importantly, even if I were interested, it seems like she's already married. Could I possibly steal her away?!
"Squeak." Just then, the door to the private room opened again, and the proprietress walked in carrying a tray with an icy expression.

Yu Dawei thought to himself, "Good heavens, Lao Chang is really unlucky. He's been caught twice for talking badly about people behind their backs."

He's now just hoping the soundproofing in the private room is top-notch, otherwise, even Jesus couldn't save him.

"Gentlemen, your dishes are ready. The noodles are in the pot and will be served shortly." After placing a few dishes down, the proprietress turned and left without stopping.

Old Chang was a little embarrassed. He opened his mouth to explain, but then hesitated. What could he explain? Was he that familiar with the other person?

Yu Dawei observed the reactions of both of them, and some immature thoughts began to form in his mind.

Not long after, two bowls of noodles arrived. This time, the person delivering the food to the second floor was different; it was an elderly woman wearing a white apron.

The old man had gray hair and wore a blue coat with two pure white sleeves over his hands. The veins on the back of his hands bulged as he picked up the bowl of noodles, and then he placed it in front of the two people with two "slap" sounds.

"The dishes are all ready, please enjoy your meal." The old man gave a brief instruction, then turned and closed the door to the private room before heading downstairs.

"Eat quickly, and leave as soon as you're done. I don't want to stay in this awful place for even a second longer." Chang Bin had just finished speaking when the door opened again!
The person who came in this time was an old man, holding two cloves of garlic in his hand. He had heard what the other person said clearly as he stood at the door.

He gritted his teeth and finally, suppressing his anger, placed the two heads of garlic on the table. "Garlic."

After saying that, the old man turned and left.

"That's it, I really don't need to come here again next time." Chang Bin ate a mouthful of noodles with tears in his eyes.

Ouch, so spicy!

"Hey, take your time eating, I'll go get some more water." Yu Dawei put down his chopsticks, picked up the kettle, and headed downstairs.

When Yu Dawei met the proprietress, he found her angrily fiddling with the abacus, her grip so strong it looked like the abacus beads were in excruciating pain.

"Boss lady, could you please pour me another pot of water?" Yu Dawei placed the small silver water pot on the counter.

It was getting late, and the area downstairs was gradually becoming more lively and noisy.

"Wait a moment." The proprietress brought over the teapot, turned around and picked up the thermos on the ground, pouring hot water into the teapot.

Yu Dawei seized the opportunity and chatted casually with the other party for a few minutes, perhaps because he was quite familiar with the person.

Even when someone next to her was urging her to take her things, the proprietress pretended not to hear and spoke a few more words to Yu Dawei.

Yu Dawei heard what he wanted to hear, then carried the teapot upstairs, sat down opposite Lao Chang without making a sound, and continued slurping noodles.

"Old Chang, I do have an idea about Xu Huang's matter, but you have to cover for me." Yu Dawei asked while slurping noodles, "When you had a meeting with Xu Huang before, I heard that he seemed to have a lot of resistance towards the contractors."

"Of course. The reason there are conservatives and reformers is all about the contracting of certain projects. The leaders, led by General Manager Huang, are in favor of a reform that emphasizes efficiency over asset-light operations, while the conservatives are the opposite; they want to take a slice of the pie for themselves." Manager Chang had a deep understanding of the company's internal conflicts.

He stood firmly by General Manager Huang's side from the beginning, and even when conservatives tried to win him over, he refused.

At that time, he only knew that Mr. Huang was like a mentor to him, the one who guided him into the industry. He might not have any great skills, but he was still grateful.

Upon hearing Lao Chang's words, Yu Dawei stopped eating his noodles, his brows furrowed as he fell into deep thought.

There are some things that Lao Chang, standing on a higher level, simply cannot do, but now he is standing on the level below Xu Huang. If he removes two wooden pillars, the whole building will tilt.

For him, things that Chang Bin might not be able to do, he could do with ease.

But this matter can't be rushed. In fact, we'll have to consult my third uncle sometime. When it comes to understanding human nature, a hundred Yu Daweis can't compare to one third uncle.

If you want Xu Huang to submit obediently, you have to use some tricks.

Yu Da was really going all out for that Ackerman excavator.

After the two finished eating their noodles, Yu Dawei drove Lao Chang away from Huichun Noodle Shop. However, when Yu Dawei opened the door, he could clearly feel that the proprietress and Lao Chang were looking at each other without looking at each other, and when he looked at Lao Chang, Lao Chang was looking elsewhere, which made Yu Dawei feel very annoyed.

He dislikes this kind of ambiguous, back-and-forth relationship the most.

"Old Chang, I'm not trying to be mean, but if you really like her, just tell her. Why are you peeking at her?" Yu Dawei drove away from the Huichun Noodle Shop. "You know she's already married, and you're still secretly watching her. That's not very nice of you."

"She's married?"

"What did I go downstairs for just now? I was just helping you find out what was going on." Yu Dawei turned on his right turn signal, shifted gears, and stepped on the gas. "She just can't wait for you to go on blind dates and get married the year you did. She's not young anymore, she's twenty-six or twenty-seven and still doesn't have a partner. How can her parents not be anxious?"

“I think this is your fault. You always go to the noodle shop and flirt with people, wasting their time for two or three years.” Yu Dawei rolled his eyes at the other person.

"Oh." Old Chang looked dejected, staring blankly at the scenery outside the windshield, his eyes seemingly losing their sparkle.

"Hey, don't be sad." Seeing that the atmosphere was about right, Yu Dawei explained, "The man she married a couple of years ago abused her every day. This boss lady is not one to back down, so she chose to divorce him and go back to her parents' home without saying a word."

"After resting for more than a year, my eldest sister picked herself up and opened a new noodle shop here with my father." Yu Dawei turned his head with a grin. "This woman even took the divorce to court. The man was illiterate, so he took away a portion of the assets. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to open such a big noodle shop."

"Is that so?" Chang Bin's demeanor had clearly changed. His eyes not only lit up, but he also calmly gazed at everything outside the car window, as if he had taken control of the situation again.

Yu Dawei was speechless, but it was ultimately someone else's private life, so he could only say a few words indirectly: "Now that the other party is divorced, and you are divorced too, if you don't take the initiative, hehe... I can't really say anything to you, brother."

"We'll see, I'm too busy." Chang Bin's eyes showed hesitation and struggle again.

The main issue is that although they've known each other for three or four years, they've never spoken a word to each other. If he suddenly tells her he likes her, will she accept it?

Moreover, I was overheard saying bad things about someone several times today, even by their own father. It was so embarrassing.

"Sigh... whatever, whatever, it has nothing to do with me. It's just a matter of missing one wedding banquet." Yu Dawei was also helpless; he saw through Lao Chang's thoughts at a glance.

I like her, but I'm afraid of being rejected, so I don't dare to take the first step in communicating with her.

If we really want this to work out, we have to start with that fierce boss lady.

Afterwards, Yu Dawei first took Manager Chang to the Eighth Bureau Oil City Branch, and then drove to the construction site of his second uncle's project in the Development Zone.

My second uncle mentioned it to him after the New Year. The community isn't very big, just a dozen or so buildings, and it's called Xueyuan New District.

My impression is that it was not far from Dawn Lake, but that so-called "Dawn Lake" doesn't exist at all now.

It's just a slightly larger puddle in the oil town.

After driving for about thirty minutes, the road was bumpy, and Yu Dawei's little red car itself wasn't going very fast.

Fortunately, Yu Dawei spotted a large pond. He recognized the name Xueyuan New District; he had passed by it in his previous life when he rode his bicycle to take his eldest son to school.

Following his memory, which was long forgotten, Yu Dawei walked and stopped along the way, finally finding the construction site.

Coincidentally, the person directing the work at the construction site was none other than the bald man we hadn't seen in a long time. He was giving a speech to a worker wearing a yellow hard hat, and he was repeatedly tapping the worker's head with the manuscript in his hand.

"What's going on? Why are you being so generous?" Yu Dawei parked his car next to him and walked over.

"Boss Xiao Yu." Baldy Si saw a familiar figure at the sound of the voice, then angrily pointed at the person next to him and cursed, "That bastard, he didn't even know the people below were fighting, he was still in that corner calculating the construction period, what the hell!"

"Fourth Brother, I was wrong. I'll go see what's going on." The man was about the same age as the bald man, his head drooping, his yellow safety helmet crooked, and he didn't dare to straighten it.

"Use you? By then it'll be too late." The bald man couldn't help but scold again, "You must manage your men well! If anyone is disobedient to you, bring them to me directly. If you don't demonstrate your strength, no one in Lao Xiao will respect you. Even Second Brother will protect you, I'm telling you."

"clear."

"Alright, get lost, stop getting in my way." The bald man waved his hand, glancing at the other person with some disgust.

After seeing the other person turn and leave, the bald man turned back, smiling and quickly walked to Yu Dawei's side: "Boss Yu, what brings you here?"
