Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

Liu Haizhong was overjoyed to have outmaneuvered Xu Damao.

He glanced smugly at Xu Damao, then followed Yan Bugui away.

Xu Damao was furious and wanted to settle accounts with Yan Bugui.

At this moment, Xu Xiaoling rode back on her bicycle: "Brother, what are you doing here?"

When Xu Damao saw that it was his younger sister, he suppressed his anger: "You came back by yourself. Where are Dad and Mom?"

Xu Xiaoling said, "Dad told me to tell you and Brother Zhu that you can come over the day after tomorrow when you have a day off."

We'll have lunch, and after lunch he and Mom can go home. Otherwise, there's nowhere for them to stay.

Xu Damao agreed. He only had two beds at home, so there definitely wasn't enough room for everyone.

Xu Xiaoling has grown up; she can't just be stuffed anywhere like before.

"That's fine."

He Yuzhu leisurely rode his bicycle back, and upon learning the news, he didn't seem to care.

He helped Xu Xiaoling find a job because he saw that Xu Xiaoling was promising; it had nothing to do with Xu Fugui.

These girls grew up with He Yushui and have a good relationship with her; they'll be a helper in the future.

The group then went into the courtyard together.

Yan Bugui glanced outside and asked in a low voice, "Old Liu, I heard Xu Damao has become the team leader?"

Liu Haizhong was immediately frustrated again: "Director Li made him do it, what can I do?"

Yan Bugui asked doubtfully, "Is Xu Damao really that close to your Director Li? I thought he was just bragging before."

Liu Haizhong said dismissively, "He used to be a braggart. When the factory showed a movie, the leaders saw that he hadn't eaten and felt sorry for him, so they let him sit at the table and eat."

It wasn't even an invitation to dinner.

Yan Bugui said "Oh": "Then why did you make Director Li the team leader when he was perfectly fine?"

Liu Haizhong doesn't know.

Yan Bugui knew he didn't know. His goal was still to sow discord between Liu Haizhong and Xu Damao.

The two fought like dogs, and Xu Damao had no chance to cause him any trouble.

"I have a feeling something's not right. Do you think Director Li made him the team leader so he could replace you?"

Liu Hai was startled, then flew into a rage: "What right does Xu Damao have to replace me? I am Director Li's confidant."

Yan Bugui countered, "Then why did he suddenly promote Xu Damao to be the group leader?"

You didn't receive any prior notice.

Liu Haizhong felt a little uncertain after what Yan Bugui said: "Old Yan, you have a lot of bad ideas, help me think of a solution."

Yan Bugui's eyes lit up, and he immediately thought of a way to take advantage of the situation.

"This is a bit tricky. I don't know much about your factory."

"How about this, you call Lao Yi, and we can eat and chat."

Upon hearing this, Liu Haizhong immediately agreed. He was now a leader, and a leader who held the power of life and death; many people offered him gifts.

Inviting these two people to dinner was a piece of cake for him.

Fearing that Liu Haizhong might change his mind, Yan Bugui followed him to the backyard.

"Old Yi, come to my house for a drink."

Upon arriving at the Intermediate People's Court, the two greeted Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai was a shrewd man; he glanced at Yan Bugui and immediately understood what he meant.

That just so happens, he was also feeling a bit hungry.

Dining with Qin Huairu allows you to enjoy retirement life ahead of time.

This was his dream.

However, there is one downside: it costs too much money and the food is terrible.

Qin Huairu is very good at serving people, but she just doesn't know how to make money.

He has to pay for all the expenses.

Yi Zhonghai was reluctant. He wanted to save money so that he could rely on his parents when they became old and unable to move.

To save money, he could only eat cornbread and pickled vegetables with the Jia family.

I dare not buy meat.

Jia Zhangshi has a huge appetite; if she buys a pound of meat, he'll only taste the broth at most.

Yi Zhonghai followed them into the backyard.

Qin Huairu stood up: "An old man."

Yi Zhonghai immediately understood what it meant, pretended not to see it, and followed them to the backyard.

When He Yuzhu saw this scene, he knew that the three old scoundrels had gotten together again. This was exactly what he expected.

He turned to his family and said, "Be careful these days."

He Yushui said with dissatisfaction, "Can't those three old bastards just shut up for a bit?"
I just don't understand, what do we owe them? Why are they keeping such a close eye on us?

He Yuzhu laughed and said, "Alright. Why are you still angry? Don't worry, it won't be long before Liu Haizhong steps down."

He Yushui said, "No, I'll talk to Xu Damao later and ask him to get Liu Haizhong off the stage as soon as possible."

The reputation of No. 95 Courtyard was already bad. It got even worse after he became the leader of the workers' picket team.

People in the neighborhood are all avoiding our yard.

"Brother, you and Brother Li are such good friends, can't you just tell him to remove your bangs?"

He Yuzhu explained, "If only things were as simple as you think."

My relationship with Li Huaide is good, provided that I can help him and not interfere with his affairs.

If I delay his business, he will turn his back on me just the same way.

To control the steel rolling mill, he needed to suppress the dishonest people in the factory.

Using bangs is just to make someone take the blame.

He Yushui knew this principle, but she couldn't understand why there was no need to use that idiot Liu Haizhong.

He Yuzhu then explained it to her.

This girl is smart, but she doesn't have much social experience.

To offend someone, you definitely need to find a fool. Only a fool wouldn't have so much cunning.

Otherwise, why would Li Huaide appoint Liu Haizhong to an official position after only one meeting?

Li Huaide must know Liu Haizhong and understand his personality.

He Yushui felt a headache coming on after hearing these words: "It's so complicated."

He Yuzhu said, "This is nothing complicated. Diplomatic work is the most complicated."

Every word and action must be carefully considered to avoid making mistakes.

"Study hard in your new ministry."

He Yushui nodded: "I understand, I will learn from you very well. Brother, can you make me some more chili sauce when you have time?"

"You come home for dinner almost every day, why are you craving chili sauce?" He Yuzhu asked, puzzled.

"It's not that I want to eat it, it's that my colleagues think it's delicious."

This is for building good relationships with colleagues.

He Yuzhu naturally wouldn't refuse and promised to make it for her in the next two days.

His chili sauce contains cured pork, and more importantly, it's infused with a few drops of spring water, so the taste is naturally exceptional.

Xu Damao knocked on the door and came in: "Those three old guys, getting together, can't be anything good."

He Yushui said, "Brother Da Mao, it all depends on you. You'd better get Liu Haizhong off the stage as soon as possible."

Xu Damao laughed heartily: "Don't worry. Liu Haizhong won't be bouncing around for many more days."

I'll deal with him as soon as possible.

He Yushui stood by and encouraged Xu Damao.

He Yuzhu was afraid that she would go too far and cause Xu Damao to resort to any means necessary.

He quickly stopped her, saying, "Alright. You don't need to worry about dealing with Liu Haizhong's situation. You should go help Yuqing cook."

Xu Damao whispered, "Brother Zhu, you have to help me."

"Yi Zhonghai and his two old buddies have teamed up; I'm afraid I can't fight them all."

He Yuzhu didn't care about that. The combined forces of Yi Zhonghai and his two companions were naturally difficult to deal with.

But now is not their most powerful time.

Because the one leading the group was Liu Haizhong.

Liu Haizhong's adaptability is poor, far inferior to Xu Damao's.

The most frightening aspect of the three of them was when Yi Zhonghai was in charge.

Yi Zhonghai is good at sophistry, ruthless, and audacious. His only flaw is that he has no descendants, which makes him speak with a lack of confidence.

As long as Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui wholeheartedly support him, He Yuzhu will have a hard time dealing with them.

"Don't worry, as long as you don't make any mistakes, Director Li will protect you."

You should be careful around Qin Huairu; I'm afraid they might send her to be a spy for you.

Xu Damao was taken aback, then said he would remember. (End of Chapter)
