Siheyuan: Pretend to be a Pig and Eat the Tiger

After discovering the secret, Xu Damao began making preparations. Now that Yan Jiecheng has come to his door to play the good guy, he certainly can't admit it. He's thinking about how to clear his name.
"No, Damao, what you're doing...;"

Now it was Yan Jiecheng's turn to be confused. You think good deeds go unrecognized? How interesting.
Shouldn't you be praising your benefactor from this point on? Or at the very least, pretend you don't care?
He didn't believe that Xu Damao was a person who did good deeds anonymously. They grew up in the same compound; everyone knew each other. There must be something wrong here!

"Alright, Jiecheng, I'm tired after a long day. I'm not in the mood for your stories. If you don't have anything else, go back now. I'm going to sleep!"

Xu Damao didn't care what Yan Jiecheng was thinking and stood up to see the guest out!

Yan Jiecheng really wanted to figure out why Xu Damao was acting this way, but seeing the current situation, there was nothing he could do but go back.
"Da Mao, what you've done..."

Yu Li looked at Xu Damao with suspicion. She knew about the television business, and the Liu and Yan families had made their fortunes thanks to Xu Damao.
But why are they denying it now? Especially seeing the Liu family's drastically changed attitude, it's impossible for Yu Li not to be angry!
“Honey, here’s the thing… I’m worried there’s an even bigger problem here. We’ve already made a profit, so we’re not going to get involved anymore. Once the relevant departments discover the smuggling, they’ll definitely get involved. And then, hehe…”
Next, we need to focus on Brother Zhu. I hadn't realized it before, but now it seems he's been leading the way. Hopefully, he can come up with some good ideas!

Yu Li was always very opinionated, and Xu Damao wasn't afraid of leaking his findings, so he briefly described his new discoveries!
"What? Fake? That's illegal! If you're caught, you..."

Yu Li's face changed. Smuggling is no joke. If caught, not only will she be fined, but she might also be sent to work on a sewing machine.
"It's alright. Right now, the focus is on economic development. It's unlikely that they'll be running sewing machines, but a fine is certain. On the other hand, the Yan family's shares are being sold in the capital. Hehe, do you think the higher-ups haven't noticed?"

Xu Damao sneered. Brother Zhu was right. The higher-ups would definitely notice. Although the amount wasn't very large, it wouldn't even make a ripple compared to Beijing, a city with a population of over a million. But it was impossible for them not to notice.
It is highly likely that the higher-ups have already begun an investigation, and may have even investigated the Yan family. The reason they haven't taken action yet is that they are preparing to play the long game and catch big fish. Xu Damao deeply agrees with this.
Actually, they were overthinking it. The higher-ups really didn't notice. Now, there are countless products and plenty of people doing business. Yan Bugui is cautious and doesn't act as ostentatiously as Liu Haizhong, so he's quite prudent.
However, Liu Haizhong's sales area is the surrounding counties. There is no problem with Yan Bugui's side, but Liu Haizhong's son is being targeted!

"Thank goodness we investigated. I knew it. How could Li Huaide give you such a good thing? After all, you two were just using each other for the past ten years. It wasn't a good relationship."

"Da Mao, what if the Liu or Yan family is discovered? Won't you be implicated? After all, you were the one who contacted them from beginning to end, and you signed the contract!"

Yu Li suddenly thought of the contract issue. Xu Damao had signed contracts with Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui, and Li Huaide also had one. If these people were discovered, how could she clear herself?
"Hehe, I was prepared. However, I can't leave the money for the TV at home. I need to find a chance to hide it in a safe place!"

Xu Damao sneered. As long as the money wasn't discovered, he could get away with it. However, Liu Haizhong must have had You Fengxia involved if he wanted to clear himself of the truth. Otherwise, Liu Haizhong wouldn't have dared to do that.
The next day, Liu Guangtian and his brother met with Yan Jiecheng and Yan Jiefang to arrange a meeting with You Fengxia. Since the decision had been made, they naturally notified the other party to ship the goods.
The group left the compound and headed to He's Restaurant for dinner. Xu Damao followed behind. These people didn't want to go to He's Restaurant, fearing they'd run into He Yuzhu. However, You Fengxia liked the food there and had reserved a table in advance! "Ms. You Fengxia, these are the eldest and second eldest sons of the Yan family, our partners this time. We've already pooled together 300,000 yuan; you can now notify them to ship the goods!"

In this negotiation, Liu Guangtian was the leader, while Yan Jiecheng, who didn't understand these things, had been observing his partner the whole time!

It has to be said that You Fengxia is a remarkable person. In Yan Jiecheng's opinion, among all the women he knows, only Cai Qiuyue can easily defeat You Fengxia; the others are not worth mentioning.
This woman has both elegance and beauty, and of course, compared to Cai Qiuyue's aloofness, she is more charming!
"Very good, the goods are ready and will arrive within a week. Please have cash ready in advance. Cash on delivery, no delays!"

You Fengxia elegantly drank a glass of wine, looking at the four people with a half-smile. To be honest, none of the four people combined could put as much pressure on her as Xu Damao, let alone He Yuzhu!
These days, she had tried to meet up with He Yuzhu. She thought that with her looks and the refined demeanor she had cultivated in Hong Kong, a country bumpkin like He Yuzhu would definitely fall for her.
As a result, every invitation they sent went unanswered. They couldn't even get a meeting with He Yuzhu, let alone win him over.

As for Xu Damao, this guy is quite cunning, and I always feel like I can't see through him. You could say he's a womanizer.

The second collaboration never materialized, even after he subtly hinted that he could meet all the requirements;
He wasn't exactly a lecher, was he? Every time they met, his eyes were filled with lust, as if he wanted to devour her whole. She felt a sense of defeat.
After discussing some details, the group parted ways. You Fengxia watched their retreating figures, smiled disdainfully, and was about to grab her clothes and leave when Xu Damao suddenly burst in!

"You Fengxia, you're quite the schemer. I was the one who facilitated the first deal, and now a few of you have conspired to kick me out as the middleman."

Where is your integrity? Or is this the style of you, You Fengxia or Li Huaide? Give me an explanation, I'm listening!

Xu Damao pinned You Fengxia against the wall, lecherously eyeing the woman from Jian Sishui. If it weren't for the inappropriate occasion, he would really want to taste this woman!
"Xu Damao, how dare you say that? How many times have I approached you about this deal? Every time you said you'd consider it, and every time there was no result. I haven't even gotten angry yet, and you're already turning around and blaming me. Do you think my time is worthless?"

You Fengxia didn't expect Xu Damao to suddenly barge in. She wanted to get rid of Xu Damao and keep the secret. What a bunch of useless people, how do they do their jobs?
"Hehe, you know the details. Now let's talk about compensation!" (End of Chapter)
