Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

Inside the hotel, after two performances, the first round of the lucky draw began.

Before the lottery draw, Lou Zhenheng gave a speech on stage.

Apart from a few waiters, most of the staff and their families were seated in the audience.

Some of them were drinking beverages provided by the restaurant, while others were eating food provided by the restaurant.

In the corridor next door, a group of children were lining up to receive fried chicken.

This fresh food attracted the attention of all the children.

Among these children were two tall figures, the Liu brothers, Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangtian.

He Yuzhu let the two in, but did not give them invitations.

The invitations were prepared in advance, and it's too late to make them now.

No invitation means no eligibility for the prize draw.

Liu Guangtian and his companion didn't believe He Yuzhu could give them anything good; besides watching the show, they just came over to eat fried chicken.

"Brother, how did you fry this? It tastes even better than what we make at home."

Liu Guangtian said, "You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask? I didn't expect Sha Zhu to be so generous, using so much fried chicken to entertain his guests."

"If I had known, I should have brought your sister-in-law along."

Liu Guangfu turned to look at the front row of the venue: "Come on. Sha Zhu doesn't want us to come. If you bring your whole family, he might kick us out."

"Congratulations to Xia Cuian for winning a color TV. Please come up to the stage to receive your prize."

As the two were talking, they suddenly heard that someone had won a color TV and, without even eating, immediately ran back.

On the stage, a woman dressed in a cleaning uniform excitedly accepted a sign that was one meter long and fifty centimeters wide, which read "One color TV".

Seeing this, the two men looked at each other in bewilderment. He had seen the woman receiving the award before, when he went to the restroom.

That was a sanitation worker who cleaned toilets.

To their surprise, the color TV was actually given to a cleaning worker.

According to their plan, the color TV should have been ordered long ago, either to be given to He Yuzhu's relatives or to his apprentices.

After the performance, another prize was drawn, which was a refrigerator.

This time, it was obtained by one of MCA's apprentices.

After that, I drew several more times, and the worst one was a bag of rice.

Xu Damao was lucky enough to get a camera, which he then casually gave to his beloved daughter.

This left the Liu brothers dumbfounded. They couldn't understand why He Yuzhu would spend so much money for nothing.

"Brother, has Sha Zhu really gone mad? Why is he spending so much money on others?"

Liu Guangtian was filled with regret. If he had received the news sooner and gotten an invitation, he would have been a winner of the prize.

"You ask me, I'll ask who goes."

Soon, the show came to its finale. After the performance, waiters brought in a cart full of supplies.

He Yuzhu walked onto the stage and said to the people below, "This is our company's first annual meeting, but it will definitely not be the next one."

Next year, we will hold an even grander annual meeting.

It's getting late, everyone please come and collect your benefits according to the list.

After receiving their benefits, everyone could go home.

After the show ended, Tao Shuyu stood up to say goodbye to He Yuzhu.

He was holding a camera, which he had won in a lottery.

"Mr. He, thank you for your hospitality today. We're heading back now."

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Director Tao, please wait a moment. Our restaurant has prepared a gift for the performers who are coming to perform."

It's not too late to leave after everyone has received their gifts.

"Oh, there's one for us too? We don't need that." Tao Shuyu was genuinely surprised.

These actors didn't come for free; He Yuzhu had already paid for their performances and even gave them a lot of extra gifts.

He Yuzhu said, "We can't let everyone's efforts go to waste."

There wasn't much food: ten catties of meat, a bag of rice, and a can of oil per person.

These supplies were the same as those for the employees of He Yuzhu's restaurant. However, the employees received substantial bonuses in advance, while the actors didn't receive any.

The actors who received the supplies all showed expressions of surprise and delight.

Today is the Little New Year, and these people were originally unwilling to come out and perform.

However, since the leader had made the arrangement, they had to agree because they didn't want to be retaliated against.

Those who are assigned here are basically honest people from the unit. They don't think of them when there are benefits; they always do the hardest and most tiring work.

These people, carrying their belongings, expressed their sincere gratitude to He Yuzhu as they passed by.

The two Liu brothers watched these things with envy, and could only vent their anger on the fried chicken on the table.

Xu Damao walked over to the two of them and said, "Still eating? You two ate quite a lot tonight."

Liu Guangtian asked, "Brother Da Mao, how much did Sha Zhu spend today?"

"I don't know, but there's a lot. Why are you asking?" Xu Damao replied casually, and then picked up a piece of chicken breast to eat.

Liu Guangfu said, "Shazhu gave them to everyone else, why are we the only two who didn't?"

Xu Damao looked at the two of them coldly: "Just based on how you address him, he shouldn't have been given to you."

The two brothers, remembering how they kept calling him "Silly Zhu," dared not mention it again.

They were afraid that if Xu Damao told He Yuzhu, He Yuzhu would punish them.

"Dad, Mom and I are going home." Xu Zhenbao ran over.

Xu Damao ignored them and said to Xu Zhenbao, "I won't see you off. By the way, there's still a lot of fried chicken left here, do you want to take it back and eat it?"

Xu Zhenbao glanced at it and said, "I don't want it. These things won't taste good when they get cold."

You should eat less too; it's not good to eat too much oily food at night.

Xu Damao is a typical doting father to his daughter. If Xu Zhenbao says that eating too much oily food is not good, he will not eat it.

The Liu brothers were already used to Xu Damao's behavior.

The two of them didn't care about anything else. They picked up the drinks next to them, drank one, and then continued eating.

MCA and his team came over to pack up the belongings, taking many plastic bags to distribute to those who wanted to take them.

His own son hadn't had enough to eat either, and followed behind him, intending to take some home.

Soon everything was packed up, and everyone was ready to go home.

He Yuzhu said to Ma Hua, "Don't worry about the rest. The security guards will take care of it in a bit."

We'll clean it up when the kitchen staff arrives tomorrow.

"I understand, master."

The Liu brothers, fearing that He Yuzhu would cause trouble, hid behind Xu Damao.

He Yuzhu didn't bother arguing with them. After making the arrangements, he got into his car and left.

These people went back together; they were from courtyard number 95, along with Duan Zicong's family.

Everyone was in high spirits throughout the journey.

Soon, they returned to courtyard number 95.

Now that Yan Bugui is getting old and has never been able to gain any advantage, he no longer takes charge of the gate.

At night, whoever goes out of the No. 95 courtyard is responsible for closing the gate.

Because Yan Bugui also wanted to do business, he hadn't been waiting at the door for a long time.

Today, Yan Bugui waited patiently, and when he heard the commotion of these people returning, he came out.

"Da Mao, you're back. I heard you went to the annual meeting at Zhuzi Restaurant."

Upon seeing Ma Hua's figure, Yan Bugui did not dare to call him by his nickname "Silly Zhu".

Xu Damao immediately guessed what he was thinking and vividly described the grand occasion of the annual meeting.

Hearing that so many people had won big prizes, Yan Bugui's eyes lit up with envy.

"Why didn't Sha Zhu call me?"

Xu Damao chuckled and left the front yard. (End of Chapter)
