Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

Having too many ideas for making money can also be a headache.

He Yuzhu was afraid that his mind would be in turmoil, so he dared not continue the discussion.

Lou Xiao'e trusted He Yuzhu implicitly, and then arranged for people in Hong Kong to handle these matters.

Their most important thing right now is the company's annual meeting.

Tao Shuyu replied, agreeing to the performance request. However, it was only a promise; organizations without performance commitments could freely apply.

In the end, Tao Shuyu gave He Yuzhu a list.

He Yuzhu studied for a long time but couldn't find a familiar name.

It's possible that these people weren't famous, or perhaps they had already retired by the time He Yuzhu was in the industry.

Fame and fame are not important.

Tao Shuyu assured He Yuzhu that these people's abilities were beyond question.

Even without this guarantee, He Yuzhu wouldn't mind. His company isn't very large to begin with, and he doesn't expect to hire famous actors.

He Yuzhu sent several invitations to Tao Shuyu, asking him to deliver them.

The day before the Lunar New Year arrived quickly, and the restaurant became especially lively from noon onwards.

The actors who signed up took turns performing in the hall, attracting a lot of people.

At noon, the restaurant was extremely busy.

After noon, the restaurant became less lively. After finishing their work, everyone started setting up the venue for the annual meeting.

Inside the courtyard, the families who received invitations all put on new clothes, ready to go to the restaurant for the annual meeting.

Yi Zhonghai and his friends still run a braised meat shop at the street corner. The more holidays there are, the better their business gets.

A few greedy old men, of course, were unwilling to give up the opportunity to make money.

Xu Damao, dressed in a brand-new suit, knocked on Wu Tiezhu's door.

"Wu Tiezhu, are you done yet? You're dawdling like a woman."

The door opened, and Wu Tiezhu walked out, his face flushed. He was also wearing a suit, but it looked a little awkward on him.

"Do I really need to wear this? I feel really awkward about it."

Xu Damao laughed out loud when he saw his expression: "Look at what you're wearing. It's just a suit, isn't it? You'll get used to it after you wear it for a while."

Stand still, let me tie your tie. You've turned a perfectly good tie into a dog leash.

Wu Tiezhu's outfit was bought for him by Xu Damao.

After that day, Wu Tiezhu agreed to help Xu Damao with his work. With Wu Tiezhu's help, Xu Damao's job became much easier.

To express his gratitude to Wu Tiezhu, Xu Damao made a set of clothes for Wu Tiezhu when he was making his own.

Wu Tiezhu wasn't used to wearing it, so he never wore it.

Today, He Yuzhu is holding his annual meeting, and Xu Damao told him to dress more formally, forcing him to wear a suit.

After Xu Damao finished tidying up, Wu Tiezhu's image improved considerably.

Wu Tiezhu was strong and imposing; in a suit, he looked even more imposing than Xu Damao.

Xu Damao felt a little sour.

Liu Guangtian came out of the house and, seeing the two of them, asked, "Aren't you two cold wearing this in such cold weather?"

Xu Damao quickly said, "You should go back and put on your cotton-padded coat. We're leaving too."

Liu Guangtian sensed something was wrong and walked over curiously: "Where are you two going, all dressed up like that?"

Xu Damao proudly boasted, "He Yuzhu's restaurant is holding its annual meeting tonight and has invited us to attend."

"Hold an annual meeting?" Liu Guangtian asked, somewhat puzzled.

Xu Damao said, "It's just a celebration meeting. Don't steel rolling mills hold meetings at the end of each year?"

This meeting refers to the year-end commendation meeting. Every year at the end of the year, the steel rolling mill holds such a meeting to commend outstanding employees.

Not only steel rolling mills, but many factories hold such conferences.

After this explanation, Liu Guangtian understood, and felt a little disdainful: "How many people does Brother Zhu's restaurant have? Does he really need to hold an awards ceremony?"

Xu Damao said, "What do you know? His commendation ceremony is quite different from the one at the steel rolling mill."

It's not just about recognition; it's also about providing benefits to the workers.

As he spoke, he pulled an invitation from his pocket and pointed to a string of numbers on it. "See this? Each invitation has a unique number."

At the annual meeting, you can draw a prize using this number.

Let me tell you, there are tons of prizes inside: color TVs, refrigerators, cameras, watches…”

Liu Guangtian's initial disdain turned into longing: "Then why didn't they send an invitation to our family?"

Xu Damao chuckled: "What's your relationship with him? Why would he give you something?"

Just then, Wu Tiezhu came out, and Xu Damao finished showing off, so the two prepared to leave together.

Chu Yurong, along with her son and daughter-in-law, also came out dressed in new clothes.

When Liu Guangtian saw them with Xu Damao, he guessed that they were also going to attend the annual meeting of He Yuzhu's restaurant.

This made him somewhat resentful, feeling that He Yuzhu had done something wrong.

Liu Guang went home in a huff.

Liu Guangfu asked curiously, "What's wrong with you?"

Liu Guangtian then recounted Xu Damao's boasting and the affairs of Chu Yurong's family.

"Tell me, isn't Sha Zhu heartless? Why did he invite the Hu family but not ours?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Haizhong was furious. He was an elder in the courtyard, a prominent figure there.

He Yuzhu invited the Hu family to his annual party, but didn't invite him. Isn't that looking down on him?

"Who did Sha Zhu invite to his annual party?"

Liu Guangtian said, "I don't know. But Xu Damao said that Shazhu invited several actors to come and perform in the show."

Liu Hai slammed his hand on the table and stood up angrily. He Yuzhu's disrespectful behavior towards elders and superiors must be taught a lesson.

He habitually wanted to consult with Yi Zhonghai, completely forgetting that He Yuzhu would never listen to Yi Zhonghai.

After Liu Haizhong left, Liu Guangfu spoke up: "Brother, why don't we go to Shazhu's annual party and see what's going on?"

Liu Guangtian said with displeasure, "What are you looking at? Do you have an invitation?"

Liu Guangfu replied, "So what if we don't have an invitation? We're not some kind of big shot."

They don't get along with Sha Zhu, so they'll be kicked out if they go there.

Our relationship with Sha Zhu isn't great, but it's not bad either.

I refuse to believe he can kick us out.

Liu Guangtian said, "So what? Didn't you hear what Xu Damao said?"
That invitation is also your entry ticket for the raffle; without it, you can't participate.

Liu Guangfu chuckled: "You're listening to Xu Damao's nonsense."

According to his logic, how much money will Sha Zhu spend tonight?

Even 100,000 yuan wouldn't be enough.

His restaurant has only been open for six months; how much money can he possibly make?

I don't believe he can take out all the money and give it away in a lottery.

I suspect there weren't many good things, and they were all pre-arranged.

The others were just there for the fun of it.

Our family is wealthy now, so we don't care about that.

I just wanted to go and see what was going on, and maybe have a meal at his place.

If you don't go, I'll go by myself.

Liu Guangtian thought about it and realized he was right. If it were him, he wouldn't even hold an annual party, let alone buy so many prizes.

Xu Damao has always liked to boast, and he might be boasting again this time.

He doesn't care about prizes or anything like that; he can go see a performance and eat something.

"Who said I'm not going?"

The two went out together and ran into Liu Haizhong, who was returning home.

Yi Zhonghai and a few others were still selling braised meat, but Liu Haizhong couldn't find anyone.

It was too cold outside, and he didn't want to go out, so he had no choice but to come back. (End of Chapter)
