Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

Yan Jiekuang's upbringing included instilling in him the habit of looking down on He Yuzhu.

Not only the Yan family, but the entire courtyard was filled with contempt for He Yuzhu.

This was deliberately orchestrated by Yi Zhonghai to suppress He Yuzhu and force He Yuzhu to beg him for help.

No matter what He Yuzhu becomes, this kind of education at his core has not changed.

But Yan Jiekuang changed after seeing the breakfast at He Yuzhu's house.

He hadn't expected that He Yuzhu's family would have such a lavish breakfast.

Liu Haizhong's family only had eggs for him to eat, while the He family gave one to each person, and even gave him one.

"Brother Zhu, the food at your house is really good."

He Yuzhu said with a smile, "If you work hard and earn money, you can eat like this too."

Let me tell you, if you want to live well, you can't rely on saving money. How much money can you really save by trying to save?

To make money, you must know how to spend it.

Look at Xu Damao and me, we spend quite a bit of money every month, don't we?

But the more money we spend, the more money we can make.

Look at your dad, all he ever does is try to save money.

Even if you didn't eat every day, how much could you save?

Yan Jiekuang complained, "My dad is the kind of person who will try to save even a single penny."

Don't expect him to ever spend money in his life.

He Yuzhu and Yan Jiekuang chatted about this and that all morning.

After finishing the meal, Yan Jiekuang conscientiously went to wash the dishes.

Lin Jinghan said, "Why did you tell him those things?"

He Yuzhu said, "He's not like Jie Di; he won't change his ways. If I don't tell him some ways to make money, he'll turn his attention to me."

It's just nonsense, don't worry.

Lin Jinghan shook her head and went to do other things.

Yan Jiekuang washed the dishes, put them away, and then went out.

Yan Bugui had been waiting for him at the door. When he saw him coming, he took him home.

Yan Jiekuang reluctantly followed him into the house: "Why are you stopping me? Let me make this clear first, I don't have a single penny in my pocket."

Yan Bugui laughed; that was exactly what he wanted—for him to be penniless. The less money he had, the more successful his plan would be.

"I have a way to make money, do you want to hear about it?"

Yan Jiekuang was no longer a three-year-old child; he simply couldn't believe that Yan Bugui would think of him if he had a way to make money.

"Dad, if you want to make money, go find someone else. Don't try to cheat me."

Yan Jiekuang got up to leave, but was stopped by Yan Bugui.

Yan Bugui said, "I'm your father, would I cheat you?"

Yan Jiekuang remained silent, simply staring at Yan Bugui.

Yan Bugui knew his words were unreliable, so he gave an awkward laugh before saying, "Don't worry, I definitely won't cheat you this time."

Yan Jiekuang had no choice but to sit there and listen, as he couldn't leave.

Yan Bugui said, "Yesterday, your uncle discussed with me and plans to spend six hundred yuan to buy the job spot you have."

Yan Jiekuang immediately became agitated: "Why? This is my job, and I won't sell it to anyone."

If you want to make money off him, then figure out a way yourself.

If I sell my job opportunity to him, how am I supposed to get back to the city?

Yan Bugui said, "Don't be in such a hurry. Do you think I'd let you suffer a loss?"

I'm telling you, your sister and Sha Zhu are close.

Go find Jie Di and ask her to beg Sha Zhu to get you a job at the steel rolling mill.

That way you can still return to the city and make money.

Going back to the city will allow me to balance work and personal life. If you weren't my son, I wouldn't have even mentioned this to you.

Yan Jiekuang felt a fleeting moment of attraction, but he did not lose his reason.

He didn't know if He Yuzhu could get a job, but he knew that He Yuzhu would basically not help them.

Why don't you just go find Brother Zhu?

Yan Bugui said helplessly, "I would like to help him get rich, but he has to talk to me first."

"Does he think he can talk to me just because he ignores you?" Yan Jiekuang said irritably.

Yan Bugui said, "You may not have that kind of face, but your sister does. You haven't lived in the courtyard house for years, so you don't know the relationship between your sister and his family."

"If your sister goes and talks to him, Sha Zhu will definitely agree."

Yan Jiekuang hesitated. He wasn't quite sure about it and didn't dare to agree on the spot.

"Let me think about it."

Yan Bugui said hastily, "What's there to think about? A job that doesn't cost any money, and you can earn six hundred yuan."

We'll split the profits 50/50 then...

Yan Jiekuang stared at him: "What do you mean, a 50/50 split? What does this have to do with you?"

Yan Bugui said, "What you call me has nothing to do with me. If it weren't for me, could you have earned this six hundred yuan?"

Old Yi only agreed to give so much money because of me.

If you go, and he gives you three hundred, then you're really something."

Yan Jiekuang snorted: "I'd rather not sell than suffer this loss."

While Yan Bugui was still in a daze, he got up and left the house.

He was younger then and no match for Yan Bugui, so he could only suffer losses.

Now that I'm old, why should I still be exploited by Yan Bugui?

Yan Jiekuang thought about what He Yuzhu had said that morning and realized he really should make more money.

Reselling job openings is a good idea.

There were several wealthy and powerful people living near where he was assigned to work.

Selling the job openings to them is much better than selling them to Yi Zhonghai.

He wouldn't let Yan Bugui profit from this deal.

Yan Jiekuang went out to find Yan Jiedi. This business couldn't succeed without Yan Jiedi.

Qin Huairu was anxious. Seeing Yan Jiekuang leave, he went to find Yi Zhonghai and urged him to go find Yan Bugui.

Yi Zhonghai also wanted to know the result, so he came to Yan Bugui's house.

"Old Yan, how did it go? Did Jie Kuang agree?"

Yan Bugui had not given up yet and planned to drag Yi Zhonghai along.

"Old Yi, I know you're anxious, but don't rush."

This job was something Jie Kuang had worked very hard to get. I offered him a thousand yuan, but he wasn't willing to agree.

I'm trying to figure out how to persuade him.

Yi Zhonghai knew Yan Bugui's personality all too well.

Yan Bugui was not only someone who would pluck feathers from a passing goose, but someone who would pluck everything.

This time, it must have been because his asking price was too high that Yan Jiekuang didn't agree.

"How much benefit are you planning to get from Jie Kuang?"

Yan Bugui knew that Yi Zhonghai had seen through him, so he quickly lied: "I didn't ask for much. I introduced him to this channel, so asking him for 20% of the profits isn't unreasonable, is it?"

Yi Zhonghai frowned; there were far too many benefits. If it were twenty or thirty, he would have given it directly to Yan Bugui.

But this is two hundred, which is not a small amount.

"Isn't that too much?"

Yan Bugui explained in a serious tone: "This is not much. I'm asking for an exorbitant price; he can try to negotiate it down."

If I ask for too little, he can bargain and then it will be gone. Won't I lose out?
"If you promise to compensate me, I won't take a single penny of benefit."

Yi Zhonghai isn't stupid; he won't agree to that condition.

"Can't you just not want it?"

Yan Bugui said very seriously, "No. You won't get poor from eating or wearing clothes, but you will get poor if you don't plan ahead."

Our whole family depends on me for support.

If I didn't have to be careful, how could I possibly make a living?

Old Yi, I'm warning you. Don't even think about bypassing me to talk to Jie Kuang.

If I find out, don't blame me for ruining it.

Yi Zhonghai stared coldly at Yan Bugui for a while before leaving.

He comforted himself, thinking that it was Yan Bugui's own fault for having a son, since no one would take care of him in his old age.

Qin Huairu was waiting for him: "Zhonghai, how's it going? When will Jie Kuang give the job quota to Bang Geng?"

Yi Zhonghai said, "Let's wait a bit. He said he needs to think about it." (End of Chapter)
