Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

After arranging these things, He Yuzhu called Lou Xiao'e.

Lou Xiao'e complained, "You really are a master, treating me like a servant, aren't you?"

The things I was given a couple of days ago aren't even done yet, and now they've given me a whole bunch of other work.

He Yuzhu was a little embarrassed: "Isn't this a case of the capable doing more work?"

I haven't even asked you yet. Those three are different from other Hong Kong people; they're a bit too obedient.

Lou Xiao'e then explained the origins of the three of them.

Fang Zhigang had offended a gangster, and Lou Xiao'e happened to be there and saved his life.

As for the other two, their parents, wives, and daughters all work in the Lou family's company.

Since that's the case, He Yuzhu has nothing to worry about.

Lou Xiao'e then inquired about the next steps.

He Yuzhu told her to stay calm and not to rush. She could sell some of the stock if she needed funds, but she should not use the majority of the money lightly.

After hanging up the phone, He Yuzhu asked Ma Hua to come to his office.

The factory needed to find reliable people, so He Yuzhu thought of Ma Hua's wife and Wu Tiezhu's wife.

Both of them are reliable people. Especially MCA's wife, there's basically no need to doubt her.

"Master, you were looking for me?"

He Yuzhu asked him to sit down and then asked, "How are you? Are you comfortable staying in the courtyard house?"

Ma Hua looked somewhat troubled: "It's alright. It's just that the three old men in the courtyard are a bit restless. They're always looking for trouble."

It's not surprising that Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui are restless.

With Yan Bugui blocking the door every day, it's no wonder he can't behave himself.

As for Yi Zhonghai, he's even less likely to stay put. He's already 73, and his retirement plans are still undecided.

No wonder he can't sleep.

Even back when Sha Zhu was alive, Yi Zhonghai only felt truly at ease after the nursing home was officially established.

Before that, he had been living in constant fear, worried that Sha Zhu would run away with Lou Xiao'e.

In order to secure his retirement, he colluded with the people in the nursing home and used many methods against Sha Zhu.

Liu Haizhong's restless behavior was something He Yuzhu couldn't understand.

Liu Haizhong has made a lot of money, and his son has returned to his side. They are living a good life.

There's no need to associate with Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui.

After MCA explained the situation, He Yuzhu finally understood what had happened.

Liu Haizhong made money and was praised by Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui, so he became a little arrogant and all his old bad habits relapsed.

He thought he was superior to others and put on airs in the yard every day.

With the support of Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui, he became even more arrogant.

He Yuzhu suddenly sensed something was wrong: "Wasn't Yi Zhonghai having dinner with the Jia family?"

It sounds to me like he's hanging out with Liu Haizhong.

Ma Hua was taken aback, then said, "I'm not quite sure? Lately, it seems he often goes to the backyard with Yan Bugui to drink with Liu Haizhong."

Maybe the three of them were just bored.

He Yuzhu shook his head: "No, there's definitely something wrong. Think carefully, when did it start?"

He Yuzhu knew Yi Zhonghai all too well. He was the kind of person who needed someone to take care of him in his old age, and that person would have to beg him to do so.

That's how I always treated Sha Zhu.

He clearly wanted Sha Zhu to take care of him in his old age, but he still caused so much trouble, almost making Sha Zhu's family line end up without any offspring.

Yan Bugui might try to curry favor with Liu Haizhong for even the smallest benefit.

Yi Zhonghai wouldn't do that; he's too proud. He would never do something like living under someone else's roof.

Ma Hua said, "Even if there's a problem, I don't know why. I leave home in the morning and don't get back until 10 p.m. I simply don't have the energy to deal with anything at the hospital."

Besides, their little troubles are nothing more than matters of retirement; who wants to get involved?

Most of the young people in the compound have moved out; only the elderly remain. Let them have their own fun.

If only things were that simple. But He Yuzhu knew that things were far from simple.

Judging by the time, Li Huaide should be heading back to Beijing by now.

Only when Li Huaide's smuggling activities have squandered all their hard work will they behave themselves.

However, Xu Damao has changed a lot in this life, and it's unknown whether he will still resort to that trick.

Whether Xu Damao was setting them up or not, He Yuzhu didn't really care.

He also wanted to know how Yi Zhonghai would get Liu Haizhong into the elderly care group, given that Liu Haizhong had so much money.

They wouldn't be using Song Jiang's tricks, would they?

If that's the case, He Yuzhu should definitely lend a hand.

Seeing that He Yuzhu remained silent, Ma Hua immediately said, "I'll go back and ask my wife."

He Yuzhu said, "No need. I have something else to discuss with you."

You mentioned a while ago that your wife and Wu Tiezhu's wife wanted to come and work here?

Ma Hua said, "My children are all grown up now. My wife can't sit still when she sees other people making money."

"Master, if you don't agree, I'll tell her to give up on the idea."

He Yuzhu said, "You've misunderstood. You saw those three people from Hong Kong, didn't you?"

Ma Hua was well aware of how much Ho Yu-chu valued those three people in Hong Kong. He also knew that Ho Yu-chu's next focus would be on those three individuals.

"Master, please arrange whatever you need."

He Yuzhu said, "They're going to stay at the factory in a couple of days. I hope your wife and Wu Tiezhu's wife can go there to help out and take care of their daily needs."

MCA, you are my disciple. Heaven, Earth, Ruler, Parents, and Teacher, we are the closest people, we are one family.

I sent your wife over there for two reasons: first, to take care of them, and second, to keep an eye on them.

"Our future wealth will all depend on that factory over there."

These words moved MCA to tears.

He Yuzhu was a little confused: "What's wrong? Why are you crying all of a sudden?"

Ma Hua wiped away his tears: "Master, you don't need to say anything. I'll have my wife come over tomorrow and keep a close eye on them."

He Yuzhu said, "It hasn't come to that point yet. Having your wife keep an eye on them is just in case."

Next year, I plan to buy a few apartments, and I'll reserve one for you.

Ma Hua quickly waved his hand: "Master, no need. I'm perfectly fine living in a courtyard house."

Besides, I have money now. If buying and selling weren't prohibited, I would have bought a new house long ago.

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Just listen to me on this matter. It's not just for you; there are others who will get theirs sooner or later as long as they perform well."

In the kitchen, you shouldn't just focus on cooking; you need to learn how to manage.

"As our business grows, we can't rely on just this one restaurant."

Of the two apprentices, Ma Hua is the most honest; he does whatever he's asked to do diligently.

In terms of wit, she can't compare to Duan Zicong. Duan Zicong married Ran Qiuye, and in order to have common topics with Ran Qiuye, he studied hard.

When he's not busy in the kitchen, he also reads.

Lou Xiao'e brought back some management books from Hong Kong, and he read quite a few of them.

As for the MCA (Malaysian Chinese Association), they didn't seriously study cooking skills; they just spent their days figuring out how to cook.

MCA followed He Daqing and learned a lot of tricks from him.

"Master, you can ask Zicong about this. I'm okay at cooking, but I get a headache when I look at books."

Everyone has their own preferences.

He Yuzhu couldn't force him, so he could only say, "I'm not going to make you an expert, but just so you know some principles and won't be fooled."

Also, in the future, you, Zicong, and Liu Tao will all have to go out and stand on your own. You can't do it if you don't understand these things.”

Ma Hua gritted his teeth and said, "Then I'll learn from Zi Cong."

He Yuzhu found his expression somewhat amusing: "Try your best to learn. Oh, and don't forget to train more cooks; when other factories open, we'll need to set up canteens too." (End of Chapter)
