Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

He Yuzhu had already learned about Liu Guangtian's meeting with You Fengxia.

He realized that Xu Damao didn't know, so he decided to give Xu Damao a heads-up.

He Yuzhu called Xu Damao over for drinks.

Xu Damao came to Chaoyang Hotel alone: ​​"Why did you suddenly decide to invite me for drinks?"

He Yuzhu explained, "It's nothing, I just wanted to ask what you've been busy with lately. I haven't seen you around."

Xu Damao said, "You're the one who's really busy. I just wander around aimlessly every day."

"Are you still bringing Liu Guangtian and the other two?" He Yuzhu asked casually.

Xu Damao shook his head: "No, they've been busy lately and haven't been with me."

He Yuzhu feigned curiosity: "What could possibly happen to them? Qin Huairu has lost so much money, can he just let it go like that?"

Xu Damao also looked puzzled: "I also feel that something is not right."

Given Qin Huairu's personality, she certainly wouldn't let it go so easily.

But besides having Banggeng follow Guangtian and Guangfu, she did nothing else.

Could it be that Yi Zhonghai secretly compensated her?

He Yuzhu shook his head: "Definitely not. What kind of person is Yi Zhonghai? He would never compensate her."

Even if Yi Zhonghai compensates her, she won't stop. She's long considered Yi Zhonghai's money as her own.

Even if you compensate her with her own money, she won't be happy to receive the compensation.

Xu Damao knew He Yuzhu was right, so he kept this question in mind.

He Yuzhu then asked Liu Guangtian, "What kind of business do they run?"

Xu Damao explained, "It's probably to find a burial site for Liu Haizhong. Liu Haizhong is getting old, it's time to make preparations."

He Yuzhu thought of Sha Zhu's memories and burst out laughing.

"This is impossible."

"Why is it impossible? Liu Haizhong is almost eighty years old and his health is not good. It's not wrong to prepare in advance."

That's true, but it wouldn't apply to Liu Haizhong.

When Sha Zhu was buying burial plots for some old folks in the courtyard, Yi Zhonghai insisted on buying plots right next to each other.

His aim was that when other people's children paid their respects, they would also pay their respects to him.

Liu Haizhong didn't object, but he insisted that his grave be as close to Beijing as possible.

The reason is also ridiculous: there are many officials in Beijing, and being close to Beijing means you can absorb their influence.

He became somewhat confused in his old age, but his obsession with being an official only deepened.

He Yuzhu didn't believe that Liu Haizhong would be happy to be buried in his hometown.

"Think about it, Liu Haizhong is obsessed with officialdom. Would he be willing to leave Beijing?"
Don't forget, if he were buried in his hometown, would his three sons still be able to visit his grave?

After He Yuzhu reminded him, Xu Damao also noticed something was wrong.

"Then tell me, what are Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu doing behind my back?"

He Yuzhu knew that the sex scene was coming, so he said, "How would I know?"

They follow you because they want to make money with you.

The only thing that will make them give up is a more lucrative opportunity.

"It wasn't one of your friends who got stolen away, was it?"

Xu Damao's expression changed, as if he had thought of something: "I'm not drinking anymore, I have something to do."

He Yuzhu asked, "What is it?"

"Don't worry about it, I can handle it myself." Xu Damao walked away without looking back.

He Yuzhu called someone to secretly follow Xu Damao.

After leaving He Yuzhu's office, Xu Damao called You Fengxia.

You Fengxia's attitude on the phone seemed somewhat perfunctory.

Xu Damao's suspicions deepened: "Miss You, is Director Li with you?"
I'd like to treat him to a meal.

You Fengxia covered the microphone and turned to look at Li Huaide.

Li Huaide thought for a moment and then shook his head.

Knowing that Li Huaide didn't want to see Xu Damao, You Fengxia smiled and said, "What a coincidence. Director Li went to Tianjin. When he comes back, I'll tell him to treat you to drinks."

We'll invite He Yuzhu then.

He really misses He Yuzhu's cooking.

Xu Damao's suspicions deepened, but he didn't show it: "He's not in Beijing. Then, Miss You, would you do me the honor of coming?" Li Huaide gestured for You Fengxia to agree.

You Fengxia then arranged a time with Xu Damao.

"You've already decided not to cooperate with Xu Damao, so why are you still meeting with him?"

Li Huaide said, "I'm just not cooperating with him this time, I didn't say I wouldn't cooperate with him in the future."

No matter what, He Yuzhu is always behind him.

He Yuzhu's energy far exceeds your imagination.

You Fengxia said, "I know. His father-in-law is Lin Zhijie. Although Lin Zhijie has retired, who would dare not give him face?"

Li Huaide shook his head: "You're still too superficial. You really think he's just relying on his father-in-law?"

He made many friends by relying on the medicinal wine in his hand.

Regardless of which faction he belongs to, everyone has to give him face.

The fact that we were able to make things so easy in Beijing is also thanks to his influence.

Don't ask any more questions. Just tell Xu Damao that we have found other partners.

We can't take him on this business trip; let him wait until next time.

You Fengxia met with Xu Damao, and they chatted idly without mentioning anything about business.

Xu Damao's heart sank to the bottom: "What did Director Li say about the business?"

You Fengxia said with a smile, "Your price is too high, we won't make any profit."

So this time, we found other partners.

If you're willing to cooperate with us, then let's do it next time. We'll definitely cooperate with you next time.

Xu Damao looked at her with a half-smile: "Does Director Li know about this?"

“This is what he told me to tell you,” You Fengxia said without changing her expression.

Xu Damao nodded: "Alright, the old leader has spoken, so I have to give him face."

I will not get involved in this matter.

Let's work together again next time.

Xu Damao paid the bill directly and left.

You Fengxia curled her lip in disdain and muttered, "His escape route has been cut off, and he's still kept in the dark. What a useless piece of trash."

Xu Damao was unaware of You Fengxia's thoughts, but he had already decided to take revenge, and had even figured out how to do so.

He bought a bunch of things outside and went into the courtyard house.

Yan Bugui, who would usually be the first to rush up, didn't try to take advantage this time.

When Tang Yanling entered the Intermediate People's Court, she saw him but only greeted him briefly.

All of this demonstrates that they are emboldened and fearless, which is why they treat him this way.

Xu Damao has already determined the attitudes of Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui; the next step is to determine the attitude of the Liu family.

"Guangtian, Guangfu, I'll treat you to drinks."

Liu Guangtian asked with a smile, "You seem so happy, did something good happen?"

Xu Damao said, "It's really good news. I'm telling you, I've talked to He Yuzhu. There's a big job in Shenzhen that will take two months."

If you do a good job, you can earn 100,000.

I thought of you.

"How about it, come with me to Shenzhen?"

Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu exchanged a glance and quickly shook their heads.

"Brother Da Mao, this time it really won't work. My wife won't let me go out of town."

"Me too. She's afraid I'll do what I did last time when I went to Shanghai and never come back."

Xu Damao's expression changed: "You're not even willing to help me with such a small matter?"

If you come with me, we'll split the 100,000 we earn.

After we finish our work, I'll take you to Hong Kong for a visit. Don't you want to see the movie stars from He Yuzhu's company?

I will grant your wish this time.

Even with such conditions offered, the Liu brothers still found reasons to refuse.

Xu Damao then realized that the three old men had teamed up again. (End of Chapter)
