Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

In Xu Damao's house in the backyard, the three of them slowly drank wine.

The three of them talked about recent events, mainly about smuggling.

"Brother Da Mao, is there any news from You Fengxia?"

Xu Damao put down his wine glass and took a bite of food: "Why are you in such a hurry?"
Want to collaborate with him?

"Yes. His business is profitable. Just one transaction can earn him more profit than doing construction projects."

"The key is that it hasn't been long yet," Liu Guangtian said.

Xu Damao has been secretly pondering this matter for the past few days.

He was an adventurous person and was inclined to cooperate with Li Huaide.

"Did your dad agree?"

“My dad saw that you were also planning to do it, so he agreed,” Liu Guangfu said quickly.

Xu Damao picked up his wine glass and drank it all in one gulp: "Since you're willing, I'll contact You Fengxia tomorrow."

But let me make it clear first, smuggling is risky.

If anything goes wrong, don't blame me.

Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu exchanged a glance: "Don't worry. We know that there are gains and losses in business."

We believe there won't be any problems this time.

The three of them then discussed how to cooperate and how to distribute the profits.

After they had discussed it, Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu went back to report to Liu Haizhong.

After hearing this, Liu Haizhong said, "How much money do you pay, and how many shares do you get?"

"How can Xu Damao be so generous?"

Liu Guangtian said, "He's not generous at all. Didn't he still charge us a 1% handling fee?"

Liu Guangfu said, "He originally wanted five percent. It was my brother and I who spoke to him, and we also know Li Huaide."

He only relented after that.

Upon hearing this, Liu Haizhong found the explanation reasonable. He had once been a key general under Li Huaide, and had helped Li Huaide accomplish many great things.

He felt that if he really went to his old leader Li Huaide to plead for him, Li Huaide would definitely give him face.

"That's settled then. You two need to be careful. Don't let Li Huaide and Xu Damao trick you."

Liu Guangtian said, "Don't worry, my brother and I will definitely be on guard against them."

By the way, Dad, could you please stop letting the hamster follow us?

We're going to negotiate with You Fengxia in the next couple of days. He's an outsider going with us; what if he leaks the information?

Liu Haizhong was a little embarrassed.

He had already patted his chest in front of Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui, saying that he would bring the baton.

If he goes back on his word, how will he ever be able to meet with Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui again?

He knew it wouldn't be good to have Banggeng along, but for the sake of his pride, he still wouldn't budge.

Xu Damao contacted You Fengxia and expressed his intention to cooperate.

You Fengxia smiled and said, "It's not convenient over the phone, how about we find a place to talk in detail?"

I was just about to have a chat with you.

“No problem. How about we go to Chaoyang Hotel? It’s safer there,” Xu Damao suggested.

You Fengxia didn't want He Yuzhu to know about this business, so she refused to go to Chaoyang Hotel.

"Let's go somewhere else. I'm afraid if we run into He Yuzhu, he'll become suspicious."

You didn't tell He Yuzhu about this, did you?

“I definitely didn’t tell him. He’s not involved in this kind of thing, why would I tell him?” Xu Damao said with a smile.

You Fengxia smiled and said, "It's right that you didn't say anything. He's a big shot; he wouldn't care about such a small business."

Director Li told me that He Yuzhu is a big shot and doesn't care about this kind of business.

Telling him about this kind of business would only put him in a difficult position.

You said he knows, should we call the police or not?

If we call the police, we'll be letting down our old friends; if we don't, we'll be letting down the country.

If his father-in-law's enemies find out, the Lin family will also be in trouble.

Therefore, not telling him is for his own good.

We're friends with him after all; we can't be disloyal.

Xu Damao laughed heartily: "I didn't expect Director Li to have considered things so clearly. Don't worry, I've remembered everything."

Then it's settled. I'll take Guangtian and Guangfu with me now.

They also wanted to participate in this business.

You Fengxia did not refuse, arranged a time with Xu Damao, and then hung up the phone.

Xu Damao called Liu Guangtian and his brother to go out together, but suddenly saw Banggeng following them.

"Why is the stick-like creature following along?"

Liu Guangtian looked helpless: "Didn't my dad tell me to bring the stick?"

They said they wanted us to teach the pheasant how to do business.

Banggeng quickly said, "Uncle Xu, please take me with you. I've lost all of my mother's savings."

She's pressuring me to pay back the money.

Xu Damao laughed: "Your mother has never been willing to hit you even once since you were little."

Can he force you to pay back the money?
Didn't your grandma scold her?

Banggeng looked embarrassed: "I lost my grandma's money too. I..."

Xu Damao still didn't want to involve Banggeng. This was a smuggling business; the less people knew, the safer it would be.

He made up an excuse to get the stick away.

"If you want to come with me, you'd better wear something decent."

The three of you are dressed in rags, how can anyone respect you?

"Hurry up and change your clothes."

Banggeng thought Xu Damao had agreed, so he hurriedly ran home to change his clothes.

Xu Damao pulled Liu Guangtian and the other man into his house.

"What's wrong with you two? Did you tell him about the smuggling?"

"No. We're not stupid, why would we tell him? Isn't it because my dad was bewitched by my first and third uncles that he insists we take the sticks with us?"

Xu Damao said, "How come Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui are involved here?"

Those two are no good. Isn't your dad afraid of leaking information and getting arrested?

"Brother Xu, we have no other choice. If we don't take him with us, those three old men will gang up on us and beat us up," Liu Guangfu pleaded.

“If that’s how you put it, then forget it. I don’t trust Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui,” Xu Damao threatened the two.

Liu Guangtian quickly said, "No, we've already discussed it."

Don't worry, I asked my dad. He didn't tell either of my uncles.

They brought the sticks along because they wanted to make money with us.

How about this: after we get out, we'll find a reason to have Guangfu take Banggeng somewhere else.

Let's meet You Fengxia privately, just the two of us.

Xu Damao thought about it and realized that this was the only option. He had arranged to meet You Fengxia and couldn't break his promise.

"Alright then. You two, change into something decent. Don't dress like street thugs."

Liu Guangfu quickly replied, "Don't worry, we've prepared all the clothes."

The day after we got back that day, we went to the department store and bought a suit and a tie.

"Let's go change our clothes now."

Xu Damao waved his hand, telling them to go change their clothes first. He himself was pondering Bang Geng's purpose, but he had no clue.

When Banggeng entered the house, he said, "Yanling, where's the suit I wore when we got married?"

Qin Huairu asked, "Why do you need those clothes?"

Banggeng excitedly said, "Xu Damao is taking Liu Guangtian and another person to discuss business, and he wants me to come along."

He thought my clothes were too shabby and told me to change.

Qin Huairu's eyes lit up: "Is it that business deal?"

Banggeng shook his head: "It's not clear yet. He didn't say. No matter what kind of business it is, if he tells us to dress properly, it must mean we're meeting a big client."

Qin Huairu thought it made sense. Dressed so formally, there must be a big occasion.

She instructed Banggeng: "Go with us, observe more, speak less, and don't give anyone a hard time."

To make money, you have to lower your stance.

Did you hear that? (End of Chapter)
