Siheyuan: Pretend to be a Pig and Eat the Tiger

Thinking about all this, Xu Damao felt somewhat frustrated. They had grown up together since childhood, and he was a film projectionist, which was much better than being a cook, right?
However, throughout his life, He Yuzhu has always been ahead of him. He hadn't realized it before, but since He's Restaurant opened, the gap has been widening every day, to the point of despair.
Now, nobody knows how much money they have; all they know is that the restaurant makes a fortune every day. And him? To put it nicely, he's a partner; to put it bluntly, he's just an employee, making money for others.

However, it must be admitted that the old man was right. Only by following He Yuzhu could one see his back. Otherwise, a few years later, one would not even have the right to appear in front of him. Reality is just that cruel!

The next day, Liu Haizhong personally took his two sons and the four children of the Yan family to the outskirts of the city to receive a new batch of televisions.
"Dad, if it's a deal, why not in the yard like last time, but in the suburbs? Will there be any problems with this batch of goods?"
"We can't possibly open and inspect all 300,000 yuan worth of goods; it's related to our brothers living in apartment buildings, we can't afford any mistakes!"

Looking at the desolate wilderness, Liu Guangtian couldn't help but feel worried. An ominous premonition lingered in his heart, as if something bad was about to happen!
"What could possibly go wrong? Didn't You Fengxia say that this transaction involves a large number of vehicles, with ten cars involved, and that the transaction can only take place in the suburbs? Our cars are ready, and we'll pick them up and sell them tonight. What could possibly go wrong?"

Liu Haizhong looked at his son with disappointment. This kid had been doing business with him for so long and still acted like this. Looking at He Yuzhu and then at his bratty son, he couldn't help but think of the line from the play: "If you're going to have a son, be like He Yuzhu!"

"Director Lan's car is ready, and the money that needs to be paid has been paid. However, looking at the desolate wilderness, I still feel uneasy!"

"Yes, Uncle Liu, it's one thing to be in the middle of nowhere, but why is the transaction scheduled for the evening? I hope something bad will happen here."

Yan Jiecheng also sensed something was wrong. It was still too late to regret it now; at least the money was still in his hands. If he handed it over to Li Huaide and then there were problems with these televisions, the trouble would be much bigger!

"Young people, you're not steady at all. If everyone were as timid as you, would we trust you with our business? It's only because Old Yan is so bold; I wouldn't be so daring!"

When Liu Haizhong scoffed, he didn't even notice the two people following him. Xu Damao looked at the group who had stopped to rest and his lips curled up slightly.
The voices of the group were not quiet and were particularly clear in the desolate wilderness at dusk. Now that they knew the location of the transaction, they naturally wouldn't stay here; he had to go back to take care of his business!

"Cousin, you keep an eye on things for now. After tonight's business is over, you can go south. I heard a small fishing village is doing quite well. Boss He has a construction site there. Go hide there for a while!"

"Cousin, I don't want to leave!"

The capital is so great! Who would travel thousands of miles to the south? Isn't that just asking for trouble?

"You have to leave whether you like it or not. After tonight, the Beijing Administration for Industry and Commerce will definitely be looking for you. If you get caught, we're both finished. You'll have to stay in the south for a few years before you come back, understand?"

"I got it, brother!"

"Yes, Mr. He's apprentice just went south today. When he gets there, go directly to Han Chunming. Remember, his name is Han Chunming. Tell him you are my cousin and go directly to Jinshi to take a boat!"

"Okay, cousin!"

He received tens of thousands of yuan last time, and with the South being so popular lately, he wanted to go and see for himself. His refusal earlier was also an attempt to get more benefits, but seeing Xu Damao's intention, it was impossible. Since that was the case, he had no choice but to agree! That evening, Li Huaide and You Fengxia personally arrived at the transaction site with their car!

"Old Liu, where's the money?"

"Director Li, friendship is friendship, and business is business. Let's inspect the goods first!"

After Liu Haizhong finished speaking, he gave his son a wink. The group then took out the tools they had prepared beforehand and began to open and inspect the boxes one by one. Li Huaide's men unloaded the goods, while Liu Haizhong's men opened the boxes. As a result, the transaction progressed much slower!

"Hey Lao Liu, was there a problem with our last shipment?"

Li Huaide glanced at his watch in the light of a flashlight, then looked at the group of people inspecting the goods in the distance, and frowned slightly. This transaction was extremely risky.

With the added uncertainty of Xu Damao, Li Huaide wanted to complete the transaction as soon as possible and head south without stopping.
However, Liu Haizhong wasn't in a hurry. Sampling and inspecting the goods was fine, but this bastard insisted on inspecting each one individually, which was too time-consuming!

"Director Li, just because the goods were fine last time doesn't mean there won't be any problems this time. We should check them in person to make sure. After all, you're not someone to be trifled with, and I'm like someone who's been bitten once and is now extremely wary. What if I get tricked again?"

Liu Haizhong sneered. He had never trusted Li Huaide from beginning to end. If it weren't for the huge profits, he really wouldn't want to cooperate!
"Alright, alright, take your time with the examination!"

Li Huaide glanced at the sack in front of Liu Haizhong, frowned slightly, and felt increasingly uneasy, as if something was going to happen tonight.
You Fengxia had the same feeling, and felt her heart pounding. After thinking for a moment, she whispered something in Li Huaide's ear and turned to leave.

She only said she was going to the toilet, but after leaving the scene, she found a secluded place to secretly watch the transaction. It's not easy for a woman to survive in Hong Kong, let alone successfully hook up with an old fox like Li Huaide. She has her own set of survival rules and has great faith in her sixth sense.

Sure enough, just as the two sides finished counting the money, a group of people suddenly rushed out and caught both sides red-handed. Li Huaide was successfully captured!
"Xu Damao, you despicable scoundrel, get out here! You think you can escape this? You dog, just you wait!"

Li Huaide's first suspect was Xu Damao, who had served as his deputy director for several years, so he knew Xu's personality very well.

When Li Huaide was extorting You Fengxia, he suspected that she might be up to something, which is why he agreed to give her 20,000 yuan. Now he regrets it, thinking that if he had known what would happen today, he would have agreed to give her 50,000 yuan.
In fact, he had no idea that Xu Damao's real purpose was to get him imprisoned. When he was the captain of the disciplinary team, Xu Damao hated Li Huaide. Why should he offend people and end up giving most of the benefits to this person?

Later, after Liu Haizhong was abandoned and he became the deputy director, he was treated like a dog by Li Huaide, and his dissatisfaction began to accumulate.
After the last transaction was completed, Xu Damao began to investigate the legality of Li Huaide's documents. He Yuzhu helped with this, but Xu Damao was unaware that He Yuzhu was also involved.

After handing over his brother's leave, Xu Damao rode his bicycle along a side road to Beijing, found a small shop, and called the Industry and Commerce Bureau to report the matter.
If Li Huaide knew the source of Xu Damao's hatred, perhaps he would regret having been tempted by Xu Damao's benefits to become the head of the disciplinary inspection team? (End of this chapter)
