Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

He Yuzhu didn't say much, only simply stating, "The ingredients are a bit worse than before."

Upon hearing this, Gu Niantang chimed in, "You've noticed it too. I feel the food here doesn't taste as good as it did a few years ago."

Unfortunately, Chef Ma resigned. His apprentice was also good, but the taste was ultimately far inferior to Chef Ma's.

He Yuzhu had never eaten food cooked by Ma Hua in his life, so he couldn't comment and didn't say anything.

However, judging from Gu Niantang's words, He Yuzhu could also see that if the Jia family continued to run the restaurant this way, it would eventually go out of business.

Anyone who eats at the restaurant can tell.

In Sha Zhu's memory, the lobby was always packed with guests at mealtimes.

Back in the 90s, not many people were willing to spend money on restaurants.

It's 08 now, there are more wealthy people, but fewer people are coming to eat.

These are not things that He Yuzhu should worry about, so let's not talk about them.

The group didn't get along very well, and after chatting for a while, they ran out of things to talk about.

He Yuzhu was about to pay the bill when he saw Sha Zhu and Xu Damao leading a group of people in.

When the waiter in the restaurant saw Sha Zhu, he looked surprised, but he still quickly went up to greet him.

Sha Zhu didn't make things difficult for the waiter and simply said, "Make me a good meal."

"Master He..." the waiter hesitated.

Sha Zhu said, disgruntled, "What's wrong? Can't I eat at a restaurant?"

"No. It's because Mr. Jia said that if people from your compound want to come to the restaurant, we have to get her permission," the waiter quickly explained.

This rule was established after the restaurant was taken over from Lou Xiao'e.

After robbing the restaurant, the people in the courtyard all felt they had done something right, so they brought their own people to the restaurant to eat.

At first it was fine, but when no one stopped him, he became even more outrageous.

There was no other way, so Qin Huairu approached Yi Zhonghai, and that's how this rule came about.

Sha Zhu used to be quite supportive of this rule.

Well now.

"Bullshit. Just remember this, this restaurant is mine. As the owner, I can't even eat at my own restaurant?" Sha Zhu said, dissatisfied.

The waiter hesitated, "Master He, why don't you ask General Manager Jia?"

Sha Zhu spat and said, "What are you asking? I'm just asking you, can I eat this?"

The waiter was at his wit's end and was almost in tears.

An older waiter came over and said, "Master He, you can have whatever you want to eat."

Sha Zhu was finally satisfied: "Tell the people in the kitchen to make me some good dishes. Hurry up."

"Okay. Let me show you to a place to sit down."

When they arrived at the dining area, they saw He Yuzhu.

"Xiao He, you're eating here too?"

He Yuzhu stood up: "Uncle He, Uncle Xu, I ran into my college classmate."

Sha Zhu glanced at the table and, knowing they had finished eating, said to the waiter, "Put their meal on my tab."

Now, even the waiter was scratching his head.

Unfortunately, the Jia family's stingy nature didn't improve just because they became rich.

On the contrary, the wealthier the Jia family was, the stingier they became.

The restaurant belongs to Lou Xiao'e, and Xiao Dang and Xiao Huaihua treat the restaurant staff quite well.

Once the restaurant became Qin Huairu's property, the two men immediately changed their attitude and resorted to countless ways to deduct money from the restaurant's budget.

Xu Damao said, "Don't forget, Sha Zhu is your boss."

Do as I say.

The waiter still didn't dare to agree: "Master He, if I agree, Mr. Jia will deduct my salary."

Sha Zhu snorted: "She can deduct your salary, but I can't?"

"If I tell you to go, then go. If you have any complaints, let them come to me."

Zhou Wenpeng saw the problem and stepped forward: "Gentlemen, since they don't agree, then let's just forget about it."

We'll pay for it ourselves.

"Who is he?" Xu Damao asked He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu said, "He's my classmate's senior, I don't know him well." Xu Damao was particularly knowledgeable about women. After a quick glance, he guessed most of it.

"Kid, this is none of your business."

Zhou Wenpeng was also a coward; seeing the four bodyguards behind Xu Damao, he wisely chose to keep quiet.

Xu Damao looked at him, then at Zhou Wenpeng, and felt that the two were somewhat similar.

"Did you hear that? From now on, when we come to eat here, the meal will be on the house for free."

If Qin Huai is still not satisfied, let her come find us. Xiao He, you and your men can leave now.

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Then I'll be going."

He walked straight outside, and Zhou Wenpeng, seeing that the person who had hosted the dinner had left, didn't dare to stay any longer.

This meal cost seven or eight hundred yuan in total.

He couldn't possibly come up with that much money.

"Nian Tang, let's go too."

Gu Niantang was filled with doubts, so she quickly caught up with He Yuzhu.

What's going on inside?

He Yuzhu explained, "That person just now was the restaurant owner."

The hotel manager is his stepdaughter.

They're having a family argument.

Gu Niantang was taken aback: "They're having a family conflict. Wouldn't what we're doing be adding fuel to the fire?"

"It's nothing." He Yuzhu didn't want to tell her too much, so he said, "I'll go back and check on things later. It's getting late, you should go back to school."

Having no other choice, Gu Niantang could only leave with Zhou Wenpeng.

He Yuzhu turned around and went back to the hotel, where he sat down with Sha Zhu and Xu Damao, asking them about what had happened in the past two days.

On the other side, Zhou Wenpeng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that He Yuzhu was not following.

"Nian Tang, what's wrong with your classmate? If he doesn't want to treat us, then he shouldn't treat us."

I've never seen anyone take advantage of a conflict within someone else's business to gain an unfair advantage before.

Gu Niantang didn't want to hear this, and her expression showed impatience.

"We can't interfere in other people's business."

Seeing that Gu Niantang was unhappy, Zhou Wenpeng tried to coax her.

Back at the restaurant, Xu Damao asked curiously, "What's your relationship with that woman?"

"We're university alumni; we met in the student union," He Yuzhu explained simply.

Xu Damao said "Oh," and then added, "What about the guy? I thought the way he looked at your female classmate was a bit ambiguous."

"I'm not too sure either. I just met him at the computer mall. Maybe he's one of that female classmate's suitors," He Yuzhu said casually.

Xu Damao glanced at Sha Zhu: "Let me remind you. You'd better watch carefully. Don't let yourself be fooled."

The example of Sha Zhu is right before our eyes.

Sha Zhu said with dissatisfaction, "Xu Damao, can you please stop bringing this up?"

"No," Xu Damao said seriously. "I brought this up so you would remember the lessons of the past and not make the same mistake again."

Seeing that the two were about to start arguing, He Yuzhu interrupted them.

"With such a big fuss, why haven't any members of the Jia family come out?"

Xu Damao chuckled: "They didn't come to the restaurant. Let me tell you, that idiot Zhu is even more cunning than me."

He summoned the scrap collector to the courtyard gate and sold Qin Huairu's treasures as junk.

Qin Huai and a few others stayed home, afraid that if they went out, Sha Zhu would sell everything.

The scrap collectors in that area all hang around the courtyard house.

He Yuzhu couldn't help but laugh after hearing this. These two are really cunning; they can actually come up with such elaborate schemes.

Xu Damao suddenly remembered Xiao Dang: "By the way, I think Xiao Dang went to Shanghai."

It must be her foreign boyfriend in Shanghai.

This is serious business.

He Yuzhu said, "If they go back to Beijing, let me know."

Xu Damao patted his chest and said, "No problem." (End of this chapter)
