Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

Li Zhenjiang drank two glasses of wine, and when the time came, she rode her electric bicycle to pick up Yu Li.

Sitting on the electric bicycle, Yu Li exclaimed, "This bicycle is really nice. When we have time, we'll buy one for our family too."

Behind them were Yan Jiecheng and Hao Min, who looked on with envy. They could only ride their bicycles slowly home.

Once they were away from the two, Yu Li's expression changed.

"Damn Yan Jiecheng, I knew he wasn't a good person."

Li Zhenjiang asked, "What happened? Did Yan Jiecheng offend you?"

Yu Li said, "The Yan family is not trustworthy. He and Hao Min are secretly trying to win over the restaurant workers and squeeze me out."

Li Zhenjiang slammed on the brakes, nearly throwing them both off.

Yu Li said, "What are you doing?"

Li Zhenjiang said, "I'm worried about you. What exactly happened?"

"Didn't you sign an agreement before opening the restaurant? Why are they trying to recruit the chefs?"

Yu Li's expression softened, and she said, "What's the point of signing an agreement?"

Who are the Yan family?

If you have breasts, you are a mother.

They saw the restaurant was making money and started to complain that I was taking too much. They wanted to kick me out.

Li Zhenjiang said angrily, "They dare! I'll teach Yan Jiecheng a lesson when I get back."

Yu Li said, "No, there's no need. Anyway, I have a contract. They can only dream of kicking me out."

Don't make a fuss, and don't argue with Yan Jiecheng. That will affect my business."

Li Zhenjiang said, "What time is it? You're still thinking about doing business."

Yu Li said, "Nothing can interfere with my business. Don't worry, those two combined are no match for me."

Yu Li told Li Zhenjiang about this to vent her frustration.

She certainly didn't intend for Li Zhenjiang to teach Yan Jiecheng a lesson.

She was the one who set up the restaurant, and she was confident that she could manage it.

When he got home, Li Zhenjiang told his family about the news.

Li Dagen cautioned, "Yu Li, don't let your guard down. The Yan family isn't so easy to deal with."

Yu Li said confidently, "It's alright, everything is under my control."

Seeing her like this, Li Dagen didn't say much.

On the other side, Hao Min and Yan Jiecheng were also discussing this matter.

“We’ve already won over most of the people. I think we should find a time to talk to Yu Li and ask her to withdraw.”

Yan Jiecheng said, "I think we should let her quit sooner rather than later. However, she is definitely not willing to quit just like that."

Hao Min said, "At worst, we can just give her some compensation. As long as we get the restaurant, we can earn it all back quickly."

Yan Jiecheng felt a pang of regret: "That's what they say, but I'm still afraid she'll ask for an exorbitant amount."

Hao Min thought for a moment and said, "Don't be afraid. At worst, we'll make a scene with him, ruin the restaurant, and fight to the death."

If she doesn't want to suffer any losses, she has to talk to us.

"Okay, let's do it."

The couple had one last trump card: raising the rent.

They believed that once they used this killer move, Yu Li would definitely not dare to cause any more trouble with them.

The two quickly returned to the courtyard house. Yan Jiecheng glanced at the electric bicycle and looked on with some envy.

Before he saw an electric bicycle, he wanted to buy a motorcycle.

But the motorcycle costs several thousand dollars, which he simply can't afford.

Now that he has seen affordable electric bicycles, Yan Jiecheng is indeed quite tempted.

When Yan Bugui saw him coming, he walked to his side and said, "Jiecheng, what have you thought about what I told you the other day?"

Yan Jiecheng snapped out of his daze and chuckled, "What's wrong, Dad? My business has just gotten on track."

This is the time to make money, so please don't give me any bad advice.

"Alright, it's getting late, I need to go rest too." Watching Yan Jiecheng's departing figure, Yan Bugui went home in a huff.

When he got home, he immediately instructed his third aunt: "Keep an eye on Xu Damao for me tomorrow."

The three women asked, puzzled, "Why are you staring at him?"

"He's going to ask Sha Zhu for an electric bicycle tomorrow. Sha Zhu gave away ten bicycles to others, so Xu Damao has a good chance of getting one."

"If I go with you, how can Sha Zhu not give it to me?"

The three women thought it made sense; they should go together, and they couldn't just give it to one person.

She knew that Yan Bugui wouldn't be able to get anything by going alone, so she could only try to take advantage of Xu Damao.

To avoid missing the opportunity, the couple went to bed early. Before dawn, Auntie San had already prepared breakfast. After eating breakfast, Yan Bugui sat at the door, waiting for Xu Damao.

Xu Damao slept until ten o'clock before getting out of bed.

He lives alone now, and Liu Haizhong takes care of the business, so he doesn't have to worry about it much.

Aside from visiting Xu Zhenbao, he usually gets up around this time.

After getting up, Xu Damao asked Liu Haizhong's housekeeper to help tidy up the house.

He partnered with Liu Haizhong in business and also partnered with him to hire a nanny.

This nanny usually works for both families. Since they pay her well and live right next to each other, she naturally wouldn't refuse.

Xu Damao went into Liu Haizhong's room and told him what he needed to do that day.

"Uncle Liu, these are my two new clients, and they have cash on hand."

You must tell Guangtian and Guangfu to prioritize their care.

Liu Haizhong then instructed Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangtian to take good care of these two clients.

"Da Mao, Director Lan's side gives us that much rebar every month."

Our business has been unable to expand, and I think we need to find a way to do something else.

Xu Damao had been secretly running other businesses for a long time, but he hadn't told Liu Haizhong.

He also discovered that the Liu brothers were secretly running their own businesses.

Xu Damao did not expose this, but said, "I sought out these two clients because I wanted to expand my business."

They build steel structures, which requires a lot of steel plates.

"Later, we'll try to bring the steel plate business over as well."

After giving his instructions, Xu Damao leisurely left the house. It was already eleven o'clock.

Since he had been to He Yuzhu's restaurant, he naturally had to have a meal there, so he went right at mealtime.

Yan Bugui was waiting anxiously in the front yard. When he saw Xu Damao come out, he immediately stood up.

"Da Mao, why are you only just leaving the house?"

Xu Damao looked at him, puzzled: "What time I leave the house is none of your business."

Yan Bugui said awkwardly, "That's not what I meant. I was just asking casually."

Where are you going?

Xu Damao casually said, "I'm going to check on Brother Zhu's restaurant. You can continue working at home. I'm leaving."

Yan Bugui grabbed his arm: "No, wait. Are you looking for the electric scooter from Zhuzi? I'll go with you to check."

Xu Damao was a shrewd man. He glanced at Yan Bugui and guessed his purpose.

He laughed and said, "You really know how to think of good things? What does it have to do with you that Brother Zhu is giving bicycles to his employees?"

Don't you even consider your relationship with him? You expect Brother Zhu to give you an electric scooter?

I'd rather slap you; stop dreaming.

"If you want an electric scooter, go by yourself. Don't follow me."

His voice was loud enough to attract the attention of people nearby.

Yan Bugui blushed and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? I just want to go with you to Sha Zhu's restaurant."

His restaurant has been open for so long, but he's never treated his neighbors in the courtyard to a meal.

Xu Damao said, "The restaurant is right there. Just take the money and go whenever you want. Don't follow me." (End of Chapter)
