Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

Ma Hua treated He Yuzhu's words as gospel and told his wife about them when he got home.

Upon hearing this, Meng Na immediately retorted, "What's this? Our master treats us so well; we'll do anything he asks."

Isn't it just about serving people?
We're not exactly noble people to begin with.

Besides, this is helping my master.

I heard you say a couple of days ago that your mentor has repeatedly emphasized the importance of talent.

Those three people from Hong Kong, since they were invited by the master, must be quite capable.

If our master is taking it so seriously, we should too.

Ma Hua felt particularly pleased to see that his daughter-in-law was so understanding.

He whispered to Mengna, "My mentor told me that the electric vehicle industry can earn tens or hundreds of billions in the future."

Mengna covered her mouth in surprise: "So much money!"

Ma Hua nodded very solemnly.

Mengna's enthusiasm grew even stronger, and she couldn't wait to go to work in the factory.

"Okay, I'll go and discuss it with Chen Xiaofang right away."

A short while later, Meng Na returned: "Chen Xiaofang agreed; she will go to the factory to resign tomorrow."

After resigning, I went to work in the factory.

Ma Hua said, "That's good. By the way, I have a question for you: when did Yi Zhonghai start hanging out with Liu Haizhong?"

Mengna said, "It's been a while. I don't really know the specifics."

As you know, none of them have likable personalities.

Yi Zhonghai, in particular, never stopped talking about filial piety.

I just don't understand, what does being filial or not have to do with him?

"We have no relation to him, so why should we be filial to him?"

Ma Hua said, "I just want to ask one question: why are you saying so much?"

Forget it if you don’t know.

The master also said that if we can avoid contact with them, we should avoid contact with them.

Few people who have a good relationship with them have a good life.

Those who didn't get along with them were all living increasingly prosperous lives.

Meng Na nodded: "That's true. They say Xu Damao is a scoundrel every day, but Xu Damao lives a very comfortable life."

Li Zhenjiang and Yan Jiecheng are also doing quite well.

The two families he described as living well were actually not doing so well at the moment.

Yu Li and Hao Min almost completely fell out. They were openly and secretly fighting each other in the restaurant.

Hao Min and her husband, having been prepared, caught Yu Li completely off guard.

When Yu Li returned home, she sat down angrily. Li Zhenjiang followed her in, also looking furious.

Zhou Sujuan asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Did you two have a fight?"

Li Zhenjiang looked up and said, "Mom, how can Yu Li and I quarrel?"

We're angry because of Yan Jiecheng and his wife. The restaurant hasn't been open for very long, and they're already trying to separate from us.

Zhou Sujuan was puzzled: "Why is the restaurant splitting up? What's going on?"

Li Zhenjiang then recounted what Yan Jiecheng and Hao Min had been doing recently.

Zhou Sujuan was also very angry after hearing this: "How come the Yan family keeps producing people like this?"

Li Dagen said, "Alright, all of you, stop being angry. Don't you already know what kind of people the Yan family are?"

I remember Zhu Zi reminded you to be wary of the Yan family.

Li Zhenjiang said, "Who would have thought that they would secretly approach the landlord and ask for a rent increase?"

We were caught completely off guard.

Zhou Sujuan exclaimed in shock, "The Yan family is so stingy, yet they're willing to raise the rent on their own initiative?"

Li Zhenjiang said, "They want to drive us out. Once we leave, they'll get all the shares and still make a profit in the end."

Li Dagen said, "Actually, it's fine to separate from them. I didn't agree with you joining forces with them in the first place."

Break up with them, find a new place, and open another restaurant.

If I don't have any money, I'll go find Zhu Zi and borrow some from him.

Li Zhenjiang said helplessly, "You make it sound so easy. The location is easy to find, but what about the chefs? Most of the chefs in the restaurant have been won over by them."

"We can't find a chef, how can we open a restaurant?"

The importance of a good chef to a restaurant is self-evident.

Yan Jiecheng and his wife did a lot of research in private, promising to raise the wages of the chefs.

Those cooks used to work with Yu Li in the steel mill canteen.

Everyone's status was similar, and Yu Li was even inferior to those people.

But now.

They did make a lot of money by following Yu Li out.

The problem is that those who didn't come out with the MCA later made even more money.

They felt resentful after hearing the news.

In addition, Yu Li was not a very generous person, so their imbalance turned into resentment.

So when Yan Jiecheng promised them a raise, they agreed to stay.

With their support, and with Yan Jiecheng and his wife finding a landlord, they had ample reason to turn against Yu Li.

Yu Li's calculations were indeed quite good, but she overlooked the issue of human nature.

She never imagined that her colleagues, with whom she had worked for over a decade, would betray her.

Li Zhenjiang was so angry because of this. He originally wanted to teach Yan Jiecheng a lesson, but Yu Li dragged him back.

Hearing Yan Jiecheng's voice from outside, Li Zhenjiang felt unsatisfied and wanted to go out and beat Yan Jiecheng up.

Yu Li quickly stopped him: "Don't make things worse. If you hit him today, he'll turn around and call the police."

If you get arrested, should we save you or not?

"If we save you, they'll definitely demand an exorbitant price. We won't even get our money back."

Li Zhenjiang sat down weakly.

He knew very well that once he beat up Yan Jiecheng, what Yu Li had said would definitely come true.

The Yan family is so cunning; they might just be waiting for him to make a move.

That is indeed the case.

Yan Jiecheng and his wife wanted the restaurant but didn't want to refund Yu Li's money.

They devised this plan. When dividing the family property, Yan Jiecheng deliberately provoked Li Zhenjiang, hoping to get Li Zhenjiang to take action.

Although Yan Jiecheng was afraid of pain, he was even more afraid of spending money. In order to save money, he gritted his teeth and agreed.

Their plan almost succeeded, but Yu Li stopped them at the last moment.

In terms of scheming skills, Yan Jiecheng and his wife combined cannot compare to Yu Li alone.

Yu Li had a feeling that something was wrong. Even though she was in charge of the restaurant, Yan Jiecheng kept targeting Li Zhenjiang.

She might not have suspected anyone else, but this person was Yan Jiecheng.

The Yan family members are all timid and tend to back down when faced with trouble.

The Li family and the Yan family have clashed countless times over the years. Whenever trouble arises, Yan Jiefang charges forward while Yan Jiecheng retreats.

So Yu Li decisively took Li Zhenjiang home.

Yan Jiecheng and his wife returned home, constantly expressing their regret.

"If it weren't for Yu Li, our plan would have succeeded. What a pity..."

"Honey, the plan didn't work out, what do we do now?"

Hao Min sat to the side, feeling a headache coming on: "You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask?"

If I let you provoke him, you won't make a big scene.

"If you hurry, Yu Li won't be able to stop Li Zhenjiang."

Yan Jiecheng said, "I was just afraid that Li Zhenjiang would be too ruthless."
If I get injured, our family will have to spend money on medical treatment.

Hao Min said irritably, "It only costs a few dollars to see a doctor. It's much less than buying the shares from Yu Li."

"Now we're going to have to pay a hefty price."

Yan Jiecheng scratched his head, somewhat regretting his earlier hesitation. But there was nothing he could do; Li Zhenjiang was quite a formidable fighter in the courtyard.

He was genuinely afraid that Li Zhenjiang would beat him badly.

"How about we try again tomorrow?" (End of Chapter)
