Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

As for Banggeng, he went to the factory in the morning and then immediately took leave.

He will be one of the owners of Yuefeng Restaurant from now on.

Why should I work in this lousy factory?

He went directly to Tang Yanling.

"Yanling, I have some good news to tell you."

Tang Yanling asked kindly, "What good news?"

Banggeng asked excitedly, "You know Yuefeng Restaurant, right?"

"You want to invite me to Yuefeng Restaurant for dinner? I've been to Yuefeng Restaurant before."

I've eaten all the food there.

If you want to treat me to a meal, why don't you take me to Chaoyang Hotel?

My friend told me that the food there is exceptionally delicious.

A flash of resentment crossed Bang Geng's eyes, but it vanished in an instant.

“I’m not talking about the meal. Yuefeng Restaurant is my neighbor’s, and my family will soon be one of the shareholders of Yuefeng Restaurant.”

Tang Yanling blinked, and her attitude towards Bang Geng immediately became friendly.

"Are you telling the truth? What's going on?"

Banggeng felt particularly satisfied and patiently explained, "The owner of Yuefeng Restaurant is our neighbor in the courtyard."

They recently had a falling out and are going to split up.

My family, along with one of the shareholders, is going to take over the restaurant.

Many people know that the owners of Yuefeng Restaurant had a fight.

Tang Yanling had naturally heard of it as well.

She believed what Bang Geng said was true.

Yuefeng Restaurant is considered a very popular restaurant in the area, and many people are envious of its business.

Tang Yanling never imagined that Bang Geng would become a shareholder of Yuefeng Hotel.

Thinking about how much money Bang Geng would make in the future, his attitude towards Bang Geng improved even more.

Under her flattery, Bang Geng became somewhat carried away.

"Don't worry, it's Yuefeng Hotel now, and I will become the owner of Chaoyang Hotel in the future."

Tang Yanling asked curiously, "Do you know the owner of Chaoyang Hotel?"

Banggeng said with disdain, "Of course I know them. Their boss is called He Yuzhu, nicknamed 'Silly Zhu'."

"They used to live in the same courtyard as my family..."

He didn't say that the Jia family and He Yuzhu had a bad relationship; he only said that He Yuzhu had asked his family for money, but they hadn't lent it to him.

Tang Yanling was unaware of all this, and her gaze towards Bang Geng was filled with lightning.

Bang Geng was even more satisfied and took Tang Yanling out to play all day.

At 5:30 p.m., Yi Zhonghai and two others sat down in the Intermediate Court, preparing to hold a plenary meeting.

Yi Zhonghai's dining table was right in the courtyard, saving the three of them the time of moving the table.

They sat down at the table early, but the courtyard was empty.

Apart from those three families, not a single person came to watch the commotion. Everyone stayed at home and showed no intention of coming out.

You can imagine how the three people felt.

They sat outside for more than half an hour, while the people inside the courtyard seemed to have no need to go out and didn't show their faces at all.

Liu Haizhong said with a dark face, "You shameless bastard."

He wanted to go back, but Yi Zhonghai was unwilling and told him to stay: "It's their loss if they don't come. Let's keep going."

Before long, Yan Jiecheng and his wife returned. They were chatting and laughing, clearly in a good mood.

As soon as they entered the courtyard, Qin Huairu stopped them and led them to the middle courtyard.

Yan Jiecheng understood what was going on as soon as he saw the situation.

"Oh, so this is going to be a joint trial?"

Liu Hai, having nowhere to vent his anger, took it out on Yan Jiecheng.

"Stop grinning at me. I'm asking you, why are you so unfilial to your parents?"

Yan Jiecheng said, "Second Uncle, whose lies have you been listening to again?"

My dad taught me this from a young age.

The greatest act of filial impiety is when children cannot support themselves.

"I'm earning my own living now, how can you say I'm unfilial?" These words shut Liu Haizhong down.

He turned his head and looked at Yan Bugui with a hint of reproach. Why bother with so many family rules?

Yi Zhonghai glanced at Liu Haizhong and cursed him in his heart for being useless before speaking: "Jiecheng, I've called you here today to talk to you about the restaurant."

Your dad wants to invest in the restaurant, but I heard you're not interested.

Yan Jiecheng was still somewhat intimidated by Yi Zhonghai.

Hao Min stepped forward and said to Yan Bugui, "Dad, you're really something. If we can't win an argument, we'll just ask for outside help."

Yan Bugui looked slightly embarrassed; after all, he had broken the Yan family rules.

Yi Zhonghai was starting to dislike the family rules that Yan Bugui had come up with; there were just too many of them.

"What outside help? We are the managers of the compound; we are in charge of everything in the compound."

Liu Haizhong added, "That's right. The three of us aren't dead yet, so we should be the ones calling the shots in this courtyard."

Yan Jiecheng deflated upon seeing the two men speak.

Hao Min, however, was not afraid and asked Liu Haizhong directly: "Second Uncle, whether our restaurant needs shareholders is our own business."

"If you say this matter is under the jurisdiction of the institute, then fine, you'll also want us to invest in your own business."

Upon hearing this, Qin Huairu's eyes lit up.

Restaurants also have costs to operate.

Liu Haizhong's business has absolutely no cost.

With Lan Jianyun's note, you can make money by simply reselling it.

Investing in Liu Haizhong's business would be more worthwhile than investing in a restaurant.

His eyes lit up just like those of the Third Aunt and Jia Zhangshi.

Liu Guangtian was worried that Liu Haizhong might be confused, so he immediately said, "Why should I? My father's business was built through his hard work."

Why should we let you invest?

Liu Haizhong wasn't stupid; naturally, he wouldn't be willing to share his money with others.

“You’re right. Why would I let you invest in my own business?”

Hao Min said, "If you don't want others to invest, why should we be the ones to invest?"

At this point, Liu Haizhong fell silent. Ignoring Yi Zhonghai's attempts to stop him, he went straight home.

Yan Jiecheng became bolder when he saw Liu Haizhong retreat.

Among the three old men, Liu Hai is the least intelligent, but also the most important.

Liu Haizhong himself is wealthy, and his two sons are exceptionally obedient.

Compared to him, Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui are nothing, one is childless and the other is cowardly as a mouse.

"Uncle, times have changed. Your so-called 'manager' was just something you guys did for fun."

We used to be unwilling to argue with you and just played along.

Now that we've all entered a period of reform and opening up, everyone's busy making money and doesn't have time to play house with you.

If you want to open a restaurant, you can find a place to open it yourself.

I didn't stop you from driving. Why are you staring at me?

Hao Min said, "He's the big boss in charge, the supreme ruler of No. 95 Courtyard. He doesn't care whether you live or die."

No matter how much you say, it's all nonsense.

We have only one thing to say: you want our restaurant? Dream on. If you disagree, let's go to the police station and have a word with them.

Yan Jiecheng is leaving. Business hasn't been good these past two days; we'll have to figure something out tomorrow.

After the two of them left, only a few people remained who couldn't accept this fact.

Yi Zhonghai slammed his fist on the table angrily: "This is outrageous!"

Yan Bugui sighed and muttered, "What a misfortune for our family."

While they were chatting, many people hid out of sight and eavesdropped.

The news spread quickly. Many people despised Yan Bugui for not even sparing his own son.

Yi Zhonghai's desire to acquire shares remained undiscovered, so not many people gossiped about him behind his back.

Banggeng replied excitedly, "Grandma, I've already talked to Yanling. She'll be coming to visit you in a few days."

She also asked me what percentage of the shares we own in the Yuefeng Hotel.

Xiao Dang, standing to the side, pouted and said, "What shares? They didn't even agree." (End of Chapter)
