Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

He Yuzhu looked at the car in front of him with a surprised expression.

"Sir, who are you? This car..."

Xu Damao laughed heartily: "You're making a fuss over nothing. What's so special about this car?"

Stop standing there, open the car door.

When you're out and about, you need to be quick-witted, you know?

"You're so blank and dazed, I really don't know what He Yuzhu saw in you."

He Yuzhu ignored Xu Damao's prank and instead answered the phone.

The call was from a high-ranking leader.

The big boss should have passed away a few years ago, in Sha Zhu's lifetime.

The wife of the high-ranking leader passed away earlier this year.

These two are Sha Zhu's greatest benefactors.

With the help of a high-ranking leader's letter of introduction, Bang Geng got a job as a driver in a ministry, which finally made him agree to let Sha Zhu marry Qin Huairu.

It was thanks to the support of the top leader that Lou Xiao'e had so much patience with Sha Zhu.

Unfortunately, Sha Zhu squandered a winning hand.

Lou Xiao'e may not be entirely sincere towards Sha Zhu, but she would never treat him as a tool to be used and discarded.

Sha Zhu always treated Lou Xiao'e as an outsider. Apart from a few collaborations, he never took Lou Xiao'e to see any high-ranking leaders.

He treasured Qin Huairu and praised her to the skies in front of the high-ranking leaders.

The high-ranking leader and his wife treated Qin Huairu very well, out of respect for Sha Zhu.

When Lou Xiao'e and Qin Huairu fell out, the top leader didn't speak openly, but his actual intention was to subtly favor Qin Huairu.

The results of it?
After the high-ranking leader passed away, Qin Huairu's attitude towards the leader's wife changed.

Because she felt that the wife of a high-ranking leader had never worked and didn't have the same influence as the leader, so she couldn't help their family.

Bang Geng was harassed by others at work, which Qin Huairu used as evidence.

As a result, they became even more estranged from the top leader's family.

When the leader's wife was sick, she wanted to eat the dishes cooked by Sha Zhu, but Qin Huairu refused.

Later, when the wife of the high-ranking leader passed away, Sha Zhu went to pay his respects, but was kicked out by the leader's son.

It was only then that Sha Zhu learned the truth.

But it's no use.

Under Qin Huairu's weeping and Yi Zhonghai's lecturing, Sha Zhu quickly forgot.

They portrayed the sons of high-ranking officials as privileged second-generation officials who looked down on ordinary people.

As it happens, Sha Zhu has always looked down on people like that, and has completely broken ties with the big boss and his family.

Without the protection of the high-ranking leader and his wife, Sha Zhu was no longer of any use to the Jia family.

Throughout his life, He Yuzhu maintained a good relationship with high-ranking leaders.

Thanks to his magical spring water, the big leader lived several more years.

However, the top leader is getting old after all.

"Why did you call me? Do you want some of my cooking? I'll make it for you tomorrow."

The higher-ups heard He Yuzhu's voice and were visibly relieved.

"Then it's settled. I'll be waiting for you at home tomorrow. But I called you today not about dinner."

I heard you went missing?
What happened?

He Yuzhu asked with a smile, "How did this news get to you?"

“Your wife called my wife to ask if you were at my house, and I overheard it.”

"Zhu Zi, what exactly happened?" The senior leader's tone was somewhat stern.

He Yuzhu quickly explained, "I just came out for a walk. My phone was on silent."

Don't worry.

After hanging up, He Yuzhu answered several more calls and explained the situation.

After hanging up the phone, I arrived at my destination.

This is a courtyard house owned by He Yuzhu, which he usually uses to receive friends.

"How did you get here?"

Xu Damao said irritably, "If we don't come here, where else can we go?"

I'm so old, and I went through all that trouble to find you. Shouldn't you cook me something to treat me?

"Don't just stand there, hurry up and prepare the dishes. He Yuzhu will be cooking himself in a bit."

The following words were addressed to the people in the courtyard house.

They don't usually come here; they only leave a few people to guard the place.

Although He Yuzhu was too lazy to cook, he still agreed. Today is indeed a day worth commemorating.

Seeing that He Yuzhu was going to cook himself, He Yuzhu quickly said, "Uncle He, let me do it."

Xu Damao stopped him: "This is none of your business, let him do it."

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "It's alright, go inside and sit for a while, it'll be ready soon."

He Yuzhu didn't have to do many of the chores; he only needed to move his hands when putting the food in the pot.

The meal was ready quickly.

When He Yuzhu entered the house, he saw Xu Damao holding a bottle of Lingquan wine and pouring himself a drink.

"You really don't consider yourself an outsider."

Xu Damao said nonchalantly, "We're not strangers to begin with. Why should we distinguish between 'yours' and 'mine'?"

He Yuzhu gestured for He Yuzhu to sit down: "Can you drink?"

He Yuzhu nodded, and Xu Damao poured him a glass.

"Try it. So many people want to drink this wine, but they can't get their hands on it."

He Yuzhu asked curiously, "Isn't this Moutai?"

“Kid, not all Moutai is the same. I’ll show you today,” Xu Damao said with a smile.

The wine is, of course, good wine.

After drinking a cup, He Yuzhu understood why Xu Damao had said that.

Xu Damao then began to inquire about He Yuzhu's situation.

Listening to He Yuzhu's introduction, he looked at He Yuzhu several times with a questioning look in his eyes.

He Yuzhu's resume was nothing special, and he only graduated from a second-tier university. He really couldn't understand why He Yuzhu valued this person so much.

He Yuzhu naturally couldn't explain the reason to him, and simply used the phrase "we get along well" to stop him.

Once he reaches his position, nothing else matters; only happiness is the most important thing.

The three of them were drinking there when Lin Jinghan and Zhang Yan arrived shortly afterward.

Seeing that it was medicinal wine, they didn't stop them.

However, Lin Jinghan still kept asking He Yuzhu questions.

He Yuzhu had no choice but to explain again.

Zhang Yan said to He Yuzhu, "You guys are getting more and more troublesome as you get older."

My son, Da Mao, is such a worry! Brother Zhu, why are you resorting to this "running away from home" tactic too?

He Yuzhu quickly distanced himself from the comparison: "Don't compare me to Xu Damao."

He's a leopard can't change its spots. This was an accident.

Xu Damao retorted defiantly, "That's slander."

Lin Jinghan stopped the two of them when she saw that He Yuzhu was also an outsider.

"Stop arguing. Xu Damao, I'm asking you, how did you find Zhuzi?"

Xu Damao said smugly, "Who do you think I am? I know what He Yuzhu is going to say the moment he opens his mouth."

After you called me, I guessed where he was going.

“Tell me the truth.” Zhang Yan glared at him.

This statement is utterly unbelievable.

None of the people present believed Xu Damao's words.

Xu Damao stubbornly insisted, "I'm just telling the truth. That's called a man's seventh sense."

He Yuzhu didn't know why Xu Damao was able to find him so accurately, and could only attribute it to blind luck.

He Yuzhu didn't want to bring up the issue again, so he said, "If you can't get an answer from them, then don't ask anymore."

Even without him, I will contact you soon.

I was about to leave at that time.

"If you don't believe me, ask this young man."

He Yuzhu naturally told the truth, and with his testimony, Lin Jinghan's doubts were dispelled.

After saying all that, it was getting late.

He Yuzhu got up, preparing to go home with Lin Jinghan.

Before leaving, He Yuzhu said to He Yuzhu, "You can stay here tonight."

I'm going to quit my job tomorrow, and then I'll drive for you.

By the way, you can drive, right?

"Yes. When I was in college, I worked part-time at a driving school near the school and got my driver's license back then." (End of Chapter)
