Siheyuan: Pretend to be a Pig and Eat the Tiger

Fan Jinyou chuckled self-deprecatingly. Wasn't Tao Wei now just like he used to be? Back when he met He Yuzhu, this guy was already the cafeteria director, but he still thought of him as just a cook and looked down on him!

It was his arrogance and ignorance that ruined his future. He'd spent so many years in a border province, still holding a cadre position, but how could that compare to life in the capital? Heh...

Tao Wei is so similar to him back then. With this kind of mentality, he is destined to fail when facing the powerful He Yuzhu!
Since they knew Tao Wei couldn't beat He Yuzhu, why did they continue to sleep on his sinking, broken bed? Were they stupid?
“Fan Jinyou, I was originally a cook, and I’ve never felt there was anything wrong with being a cook. Tao Wei comes from a prominent family, so it’s normal for him to look down on me, but that’s not a reason!”

He Yuzhu didn't want to hear what Tao Wei thought of him; that wasn't important. What mattered was why Fan Jinyou had asked him to meet!
That's right. In his mind, what matters is Fan Jinyou's original intention in inviting him to meet. Tao Wei's past prowess is all in the past. Now he's just a skeleton in his house. Haha!
"Heh... The once-prominent eldest son of the Tao family has become insignificant in your eyes. Tao Wei has his eye on the Lou family's businesses and also knows that your daughter He Qian has been in contact with the Lou family, so he asked me to keep an eye on you!"

"I just want to go back to Beijing and live a normal life. I don't want to die with Tao Wei. I can be an inside man. Whatever signal you want to send to Tao Wei, I can help you!"

"After this is done, you'll let me return to Beijing without anyone noticing. From now on, we'll go our separate ways. You can be your General Manager He, and I'll be an ordinary citizen. How about that?"

Fan Jinyou reiterated his idea: this is the only chance to cooperate with He Yuzhu. If he misses this opportunity, he will be destined to become a laughingstock after Tao Wei's failure!
"Why? I need a reason. Why should I believe you want to betray Tao Wei? What if you want to become Jiang Gan? Fan Jinyou, we're all adults. Going back to Beijing is no problem, but you need to give me a reason that I can believe, right?"

He Yuzhu looked at the aged Fan Jinyou with great interest. He had to admit that this kid was indeed a talent and could complement Xu Damao to some extent. Unfortunately, they were not the same in the end. He had a rebellious streak and dared not use him!

"The reason is that Tao Wei is no match for you and will eventually lose. I don't want to become the second Bang Geng. I don't want to be a sacrifice between you. I just want to live out the rest of my life safely. I admit defeat!"

Fan Jinyou suddenly became agitated, gripping the table with both hands and shouting loudly, even startling the waiters outside the private room!

Chen Xueru waved the waiter away with a cold laugh. If only he had known this would happen, why did he do it in the first place? Fan Jinyou's current predicament is entirely his own fault. They never targeted him, they didn't even take him seriously. It was you who kept stirring things up. Why did Vlamikil change his mind at the last minute? Wasn't it your doing?
"Very well, I can give you a chance. After it's done, I'll send you safely back to the capital. To be honest, there are too many ways to make you disappear. I could do it when we were polar bears. But I've never taken a piece of trash like you seriously!"

"Fan Jinyou, I hope you don't try anything funny, otherwise you'll discover what real fear is. Give your number to Xue Ru and follow instructions. I'm leaving!"

He Yuzhu suddenly lost interest. It seems that Fan Jinyou was driven to the brink of collapse by the experience of being a stick-ghost. Wouldn't it be better to just be an ordinary person?
"By the way, Polar Bear has some good news: your Avengers Stick Terrier is eating peanuts! The reason is that he's smuggling large quantities of light industrial goods and disrupting the Polar Bear market!"

"Of course, Tao Wei is the beneficiary of all this. However, 80% of the profits from Polar Bear went into He's Trading Company's account, and 20% were confiscated by the authorities. Heh... just a scapegoat!"

"Fan Jinyou, I must say you have a good eye, because Tao Wei has prepared you as the scapegoat for the Hong Kong authorities. This guy actually dared to get involved in the heroin business!"

"All those so-called core members of the gang you've been in contact with are involved in this kind of business. What Tao Wei asked you to bring to those core members wasn't gifts, but heroin, haha."

"How pathetic that a nobody like you would try to take revenge by relying on your family's scions. You're just pitiful wretches that Tao Wei is ready to step down and take the blame at any time. Bang Geng is a piece of trash, and you're a little smarter, but not by much!" "I can kill Tao Wei in an instant, but I don't want him to just disappear like that. He still has a sum of money in a Swiss bank. I want to make sure he loses everything and then throw him in jail!"

"Dare to make a move on my daughter, huh... Tao Wei's idea months ago was to seek his own death. Therefore, Fan Jinyou, I must say you're a smart man!"

Before leaving, He Yuzhu dealt Fan Jinyou a fatal blow, which could also be considered a warning. Trying to play tricks? I'll make sure you end up eating cornbread too. If you know what's good for you, then behave yourself!

Fan Jinyou stared at He Yuzhu's retreating figure with a heart full of despair. He never expected that he would do so much for Tao Wei without realizing it, and that He Yuzhu would even have all the evidence!

He suddenly felt very fortunate. He Yuzhu had been eyeing Tao Wei for quite some time. If he hadn't taken the initiative to defect this time, he might have been in trouble soon!

“Zhu Zi, why did you tell Fan Jinyou so much? This man is untrustworthy; what if he turns around and sells you out?”

Chen Xueru looked at He Yuzhu, completely puzzled. Fan Jinyou was no kind person. What if he told Tao Wei? Wouldn't all these schemes fall through? This didn't fit He Yuzhu's cunning and calculating nature!

"Hehe, Fan Jinyou knew all this and still informed Tao Wei, then I must have misjudged him. I can notify the Royal Police to launch a manhunt for Tao Wei at any time. The evidence has already been secured by Song Cheng, so it's no problem!"

"On the other hand, if Fan Jinyou knows the truth, he will be even less likely to tell Tao Wei, and he will probably do his best, which will help the smooth implementation of our plan!"

"Xue Ru, in the business world, there are no permanent enemies or permanent friends, only permanent interests. Let's just treat this as making use of waste, hehe..."

That's right. Although a series of arrangements were made, things can't always go as planned. Tao Wei arranged for Fan Jinyou to keep watch, and this person was naturally not to be underestimated in this matter!

Think about it, Tao Wei got the wrong information and conclusions. Once he fell into the trap, it would be extremely difficult to get out. Tao Wei's death knell has already sounded. He Yuzhu is also testing the waters to see if Zhao Long or Young Master Li will make any moves!

"I see. I hope your judgment is correct. No, this isn't the way back. Do we have to go somewhere else?"

Chen Xueru realized the route was wrong; how did they end up in the suburbs?
"Hehe, weren't you itching for something? This time I'll definitely give you a different experience. Let's go up the mountain and talk about it!" (End of Chapter)
