Courtyard Houses: Starting as a Purchasing Agent

Grandpa Yi waved his hand, ready to leave.

Madam Jia disagreed!

"Wait a minute..." she said, holding the donation box and looking at the old man, "There's still someone who hasn't donated yet."

An old man asked, "Who didn't donate?"

Jia Zhangshi said, "Liu Aiguo... he's a big leader in the steel rolling mill now, and he's our superior at Huairu. If an employee has difficulties at home, shouldn't a big leader step in to help?"

"This……"

shuh...

All eyes turned to Liu Aiguo's direction.

That's right...

Just now, when Grandpa Yi called for a meeting, this grandson didn't give him any face and just stayed inside eating, not coming out at all.

Not to mention donating money.

hissing...

Grandpa Yi took a deep breath; he felt a little guilty when Liu Aiguo was mentioned.

"Maybe we should just forget about it..." said the old man. "If he didn't donate, he didn't donate. Fifty-odd yuan is a lot anyway!"

Yi Zhonghai simply didn't want to offend Liu Aiguo.

If something goes wrong, won't my prestige be ruined again?

But Madam Jia refused: "No...everyone else has donated, why shouldn't he?"

He absolutely must donate!

“Yes, yes, yes…” He Yuzhu chimed in, “Liu Aiguo has to donate. He’s a big leader at our steel rolling mill… How can he not donate?”

"You wait here, I'll go get him!"

He Yuzhu stomped up to Liu Aiguo's door, shouting and pulling him to the scene.

"What is this for?"

Liu Aiguo looked completely bewildered.

It wasn't that he didn't want to come; it's just that he had just used the system to take a trip to Hong Kong and had only just returned to the courtyard house when He Yuzhu dragged him out while he was cooking.

"Donate money, Brother Aiguo..." Xu Damao said with a smile, "Look, Uncle Yi said that the Jia family is struggling to make ends meet and he's asking everyone to donate money. Do you want to contribute some?"

"What are you saying?" Madam Jia rolled her eyes at Xu Damao. "What do you mean by 'whether you want some or not'? We're all from the same compound, you have to come..."

"Patriotism, you're Qin Huairu's boss and a big leader at the steel mill, you can't just stand by and watch someone die... You have to have a heart of righteousness, Uncle Yi just donated ten yuan!"

"Uncle Yi is just an ordinary worker in your steel rolling mill, and he donated ten yuan... You wouldn't just donate ten yuan too, would you?"

hissing...

Upon hearing Jia Zhangshi's words, everyone gasped in shock.

Good heavens... that's quite a boast! Damn it, ten dollars isn't enough to satisfy her?

Jia Zhangshi, carrying the donation box, walked up to Liu Aiguo.

Liu Aiguo thought for a moment and said, "Isn't donating money voluntary... Can I not donate?"

“How can that be?” said Madam Jia. “Everyone has donated, why shouldn’t you donate?”

"that is!"

Then Jia Dongxu said coldly, "Xu Damao just said he wouldn't donate... but in the end he did."

"Liu Aiguo... I'm giving you a piece of advice: donate some money to buy peace of mind... It'll benefit both of us... You're such a high-ranking leader, you don't need that little bit of money, do you?"

When Jia Dongxu spoke to Liu Aiguo, he had a completely condescending expression.

Liu Aiguo took a deep breath: Damn it... who is this person?

Putting aside the donation issue, Jia Dongxu, are you really that forgetful? I just saved your life...

Is this how you treat your savior?

"I...I won't donate!"

Liu Aiguo shook his head and was about to leave.

But the next moment... Madam Jia Zhang, holding a donation box, blocked Liu Aiguo's path: "Not donating?"

"Everyone in the compound donated, why shouldn't you?"

"Liu Aiguo...you're still a leader?"

You have to donate something today!

"If you don't donate, you're not leaving!"

Jia Zhangshi started acting like a rogue.

Having finally gotten a chance, she wouldn't give up until Liu Aiguo suffered a significant loss.

Liu Aiguo was truly disgusted by her.

“Fine…” Liu Aiguo said coldly, “I’ll donate to the donation box for me!”

He snatched the donation box from Jia Zhangshi's hand and then reached in to scoop it up.

He retrieved all the money that everyone had donated.

"What are you doing?" Jia Zhangshi sensed something was wrong and immediately went to stop her.

But it is already late.

Liu Aiguo gathered all the banknotes together, counted them, and said, "That's fifty-six yuan and fifty cents in total..."

"Okay... I'll donate forty-three yuan and fifty cents... let's round it up to one hundred!"

As he spoke, he put the fifty-odd yuan into his pocket.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Jia Zhangshi was also dumbfounded.

"Didn't you donate money? ...Why are you taking our money?"

Jia Zhangshi asked Liu Aiguo for money.

Liu Aiguo said, "Don't get excited... Listen to me first... Jia Zhangshi..."

“A few days ago, I helped your son, bringing him back from the brink of death… You haven’t paid me for the consultation yet…”

"The consultation fee was one hundred yuan... but today I only charged you fifty-six yuan and fifty cents..."

"The remaining forty-three yuan and fifty cents is what you owe me... Now, I declare that I don't want the remaining money... Consider it a donation from me..."

"That's it... Bye-bye..."

call out……

Liu Aiguo turned around and went back to his room.

boom……

Then he slammed the door shut.

The entire compound and all the neighbors were dumbfounded.

Jia Zhangshi, Jia Dongxu, and Qin Huairu were also stunned.

This……

What the hell...

Can you do this?

Although it seems like there's something wrong there, Liu Aiguo's argument seems to make a lot of sense.

"Wah..." Regardless of whether she was right or wrong, Jia Zhangshi burst into tears.

Chapter 102: Releasing the Dogs, Jia Dongxu Becomes a Father-in-Law.

"Wow...wow..."

"This is outrageous..."

"They're bullying people... Liu Aiguo is bullying people... The big boss is bullying people..."

Jia Zhangshi immediately sat down on the ground, heartbroken, and began to cry loudly.

but!

No one sympathized with her.

Instead, many people criticized her.

"Serves him right..."

"Greed knows no bounds! Look at this, now he doesn't even have his own money left!"
