Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

At the Intermediate Court, Qin Huairu was about to discuss things with Yi Zhonghai when Yan Bugui came over.

The two exchanged a glance and immediately understood each other's thoughts.

"Old Yan, don't you think Xu Damao's idea is good?"

Yan Bugui said, "That's right. Xu Damao isn't a very good person, but he's quick-witted."

Look at him, he's stopped doing rebar business, but he's still found ways to make money.

This guy goes to restaurants every day and eats beef like it's a snack.

Putting everything else aside, he's still better at making money than we are.

Qin Huai glanced at the He family with a complicated expression, then turned to look in the direction of Xu Damao's house in the backyard.

She once thought Jia Dongxu was the most promising person in the hospital.

But reality told him that Jia Dongxu was the most useless person in the courtyard.

None of the younger people in the compound were worse off than him.

Even the children from the Liu and Yan families are more capable than him.

The two entered Yi Zhonghai's room and found him sulking.

When things aren't going well, there's not a trace of a smile on Yi Zhonghai's face.

He always exuded an aura that kept strangers at bay.

Only Yan Bugui and a few others didn't sense this aura; the others were unwilling to get close to him.

"Old Yi, don't be angry. Huai Ru and I discussed it and came up with a solution."

They knew that Yi Zhonghai disliked Xu Damao. No matter what Xu Damao did, it was never to Yi Zhonghai's liking.

Fearing that Yi Zhonghai would not accept Xu Damao's idea, the two said that they had come up with it themselves.

Qin Huairu then said, "Zhonghai, I've discussed it with Lao Yan."

Old Yuan's family made their fortune selling steamed buns.

Before the reform and opening up, he was in a joint private enterprise with the street office. After the reform and opening up, the street office returned the steamed bun shop to him.

The couple made a lot of money selling steamed buns. If they can make money, we're no worse off than them.

Yi Zhonghai heard what the two said and thought it made sense.

If opening a restaurant doesn't work out, you can sell breakfast. So many breakfast vendors outside are making money, and they're no worse off than those people.

Most importantly, he was reluctant to part with the money he invested in the restaurant, as it was all his retirement savings.

"Then let's sell steamed buns."

Seeing that Yi Zhonghai agreed, Yan Bugui and Qin Huairu also breathed a sigh of relief.

Yan Bugui said, "We can not only sell steamed buns, but also soy milk and fried dough sticks..."

Now that everyone has more money, more people are going out for breakfast. I've calculated it; as long as things are normal, you can earn quite a bit.

Qin Huairu shouted ambitiously, "We're going to make this the best breakfast shop in the alley!"

Her purpose in opening the restaurant was to help Bang Geng get married. Small-scale operations couldn't satisfy her desire.

If Bang Geng doesn't get married soon, he'll have no choice but to go find a widow. As a widow herself, Qin Huai Ru knows widows all too well.

She absolutely could not allow Bang Geng to marry a widow.

Xu Damao had no idea that his words would actually make Qin Huairu accept them.

At that moment, Xu Damao was drinking at Wu Tiezhu's house. He had come to Wu Tiezhu with some gifts, wanting Wu Tiezhu to resign and help him.

The project that He Yuzhu introduced to him has been confirmed, and the land leveling work has now begun.

However, that project was quite far from He Yuzhu's factory, and he couldn't manage to get there by himself.

He just wanted to find someone who could help him. After counting and counting, Wu Tiezhu was the only person he could trust.

Wu Tiezhu was somewhat surprised when he heard his words: "Everyone outside is saying that you and Liu Haizhong have separated. It seems to be true."

Xu Damao said, "It's not really a separation. As you know, there's a shortage of various supplies right now. The rebar mill's output is limited."

Liu Haizhong and I were only able to get our share because of Director Lan's connections.

Although Director Lan is the factory director, those who can get their hands on notes all have powerful backers.

We only get a limited share. Our monthly earnings are finite. I can't rely on just one business.

Liu Haizhong was willing to manage it, so I simply handed the business over to him and just collect a share of the profits each month.

Wu Tiezhu worked at the steel rolling mill and knew its output very well.

The sales of rebar were very good, and Lan Jianyun repeatedly expressed his desire to expand the scale.

However, it has not been approved by the higher authorities.

"You'd better be careful. Before Liu Haizhong made his demands to you, he was very close to Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui."

Xu Damao said nonchalantly, "Don't be afraid. If he dares to play tricks on me, I have plenty of ways to deal with them."

"Brother Tiezhu, just tell me, will you agree or not? I'm really short-handed here."

Wu Tiezhu hesitated for a moment: "I won't lie to you, your sister-in-law wants me to work with Zhuzi."

Miao Jianye, who works in the front yard, works for Zhu Zi. Zhu Zi pays him quite well.

Not long after Bi Xiufeng joined He Yuzhu's factory, she discovered that He Yuzhu's treatment was exceptionally good, so she persuaded Miao Jianye to resign and work for He Yuzhu instead.

Miao Jianye works in the same place as Xu Damao, representing He Yuzhu to check on the construction progress at the factory.

Xu Damao wanted to pull him along, but Miao Jianye disagreed.

“I know, one of my construction sites is there. Brother Tiezhu, these days, if you want to make money, you still have to be your own boss.”

To be honest with you, Brother Zhu's factory is going to start construction next year.

He has already promised me that he will give me at least two workshops.

I started a construction company with some people, and we're going to work there together.

But I'm afraid that person will cheat me, so I want to find a few trustworthy people to help me.

In our hospital, you're the only person I can turn to.

Don't worry, I will definitely not treat you unfairly.

"Once my company is on track, if you don't want to work here anymore, you can come to Brother Zhu's company."

Seeing his sincerity, Wu Tiezhu felt embarrassed to refuse. Deep down, he was also considering giving it a try.

Wu Tiezhu couldn't sit still any longer; all the brothers he used to drink with had become rich.

"Okay, give me two days, I'll think about it carefully."

"By the way, how many people do you need?"

Xu Damao said, "We can never have too many people. There's construction everywhere right now, and Brother Zhu also said that construction is very profitable."

I'm short-staffed right now. Can you help me find some?

Wu Tiezhu really does have a lot of connections. His best friend at the steel rolling mill, Xu Yongkun, has recently become restless after seeing others making money.

Besides the steel rolling mill, he also has many relatives in his hometown, including his wife Chen Xiaofang.

Upon hearing this, Xu Damao immediately said, "If they're willing to work for me, I'll take them all. When Brother Zhu's factory starts operating next year, I'll have them all come to me."

Wu Tiezhu said, "Then when we go back to our hometown for the New Year, your sister-in-law and I will help you find someone."

Xu Damao raised his glass: "I won't say anything more, I'll toast you."

The two clinked glasses, and Wu Tiezhu asked, "Da Mao, how are things going between you and your wife?"

Your daughter isn't young anymore; as her father, you shouldn't act like a child.

Xu Damao sighed: "I know. But Zhang Yan is in a better position than me now. I don't want people to say I'm a gigolo."

I want to start a company, and after I make money, I'll talk about this.

I, Xu Damao, only have this one daughter, and I'm determined to give her a good life.

In Brother Zhu's words, it's about raising sons frugally and daughters lavishly.

Okay, let's not talk about this anymore, let's drink.

The two drank until midnight before Wu Tiezhu finally took the drunken Xu Damao home.

Back inside, Wu Tiezhu told Chen Xiaofang about Xu Damao's suggestion.

Chen Xiaofang didn't know which method was better, so she let him choose for himself. (End of Chapter)
