Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

Yan Bugui was still standing at the door so late, specifically waiting for someone.

Upon seeing Ma Hua and his wife enter, Yan Bugui immediately went to greet them.

“Mahua, where is your master usually? I can’t find him.”

After that day, MCA kept trying to find out what Yan Bugui's purpose was.

Only three people, including Yi Zhonghai, knew about this, so he couldn't find out anything about it.

When Yan Bugui stepped forward, MCA wanted to ask him, "What do you want with my master?"

Yan Bugui was unwilling to say, "I have something important to discuss with him. Just tell me where he is."

MCA was also unwilling to tell him about Ho Yu Chu's whereabouts.

"I don't know. My master has been very busy lately, and I haven't seen him for a long time."

Yan Bugui was somewhat skeptical, but there was nothing he could do about the MCA.

"I have something really important to discuss with him. When you go to work tomorrow, please tell him."

Or you can tell me where he lives, and I'll go find him myself.

MCA suspects that Yan Bugui's purpose is to find out where He Yuzhu lives.

“Even if I told you, you still can’t get in. If there’s anything you need, just tell me, and I’ll talk to my master.”

Yan Bugui said, "This matter is of great importance and I cannot tell you."

When you see your master, tell him to come to the courtyard house.

Ma Hua snorted: "Fine, don't talk about it if you don't want to. My master doesn't have time to come to the courtyard house."

Yan Bugui grabbed him, not letting him leave: "Let me tell you, this matter is very serious."

If you delay Zhu Zi's important business, you'll be in deep trouble.

Ma Hua curled his lip: "What important business could you possibly have?"

The next day, he told He Yuzhu what he had said.

He Yuzhu simply told him to ignore it. He didn't think that a few old men with no way out could have any important business.

Even if there's something important to do, it's this trivial matter of retirement.

Retirement is a huge deal to them, but to He Yuzhu it's a joke.

He Yuzhu was already being lenient by not kicking them when they were down; there was no way he would offer them any help.

Now, let Qin Huai squeeze every last bit of value out of Yi Zhonghai, then be kicked out and die a gruesome death.

He Yuzhu estimated that Yi Zhonghai would soon be unable to continue living comfortably.

Liu Haizhong offended Xu Damao, so it's no wonder Xu Damao won't let him off the hook.

On Yu Li's side, quite a few people came to the restaurant, all of them chefs and waiters from Yan Jiecheng's restaurant.

"Stop arguing. Hao Min doesn't want you, so what's the point of you coming to me?"

This is a hot pot restaurant; we don't need many chefs.

"Boss Yu, we know we were wrong, please take us in."

We only left the steel mill with you because of you.

Yu Li snorted: "That's right, I was the one who asked you to come out in the first place."

But what did you do afterward?

You two secretly followed Hao Min for a pittance.

Didn't I look for you when I left?

You've forgotten what you said.

Those people showed shame on their faces. In this respect, they were much better than the people in the courtyard house.

Under Yi Zhonghai's leadership, the courtyard houses all became a flock of crows unable to see their own darkness.

"We're at our wits' end. Yan Jiecheng is closing the restaurant, so we have no choice but to beg you."

"Yes."

Li Zhenjiang slammed his fist on the table in anger: "Where were you all before? Our restaurant is already full of staff. What would we do if we let you in?"

If you're unemployed, go find Yan Jiecheng. If that doesn't work, you can try asking around outside.

They're hiring everywhere right now. As long as you work honestly, you won't have to worry about finding a job.

The group fell silent.

Everyone knows about the job openings outside. The problem is, those jobs don't pay well and are extremely tiring.

They've gotten used to their high incomes, so how could they bear to live a hard life?

Yu Haitang walked in with a smile: "Sister, brother-in-law, it's not even lunchtime yet, why is your restaurant so lively?" Yu Li was too lazy to pay attention to these people and got up to greet Yu Haitang.

These people had no choice but to return to Yan Jiecheng's restaurant.

Yu Haitang looked at those people curiously: "Who are they?"

Yu Li said, "Yan Jiecheng said he's not planning to open his restaurant anymore. Those people came looking for work."

Yu Haitang's eyes lit up: "Sister, is Yan Jiecheng really not planning to continue?"

Yu Li turned to look at him: "Why are you asking this?"

Yu Haitang said excitedly, "He quit, but I want to do it! You know, I'm currently doing a small business with my classmates, working myself to the bone every month, and I only earn so little money. I've wanted to open a restaurant for a long time."

Yu Li knew exactly what she was thinking. After all, she was her own younger sister, and Yu Li didn't want Yu Haitang to be taken advantage of.

"Stop making a fuss. Those people have all been spoiled by Yan Jie."

They're not very good at their jobs, but they demand high wages.

"Why do you think Yan Jiecheng is unwilling to work? It's because they can't afford to pay his wages."

Li Zhenjiang also sat down and helped persuade Yu Haitang.

Even though Yu Haitang is over thirty, her personality hasn't changed at all; she's just as boisterous as before.

He wouldn't have reminded anyone else. But Yu Haitang was his sister-in-law.

Yu Haitang was also unwilling to be taken advantage of, and said helplessly, "I just want to find a career, why is it so difficult?"

Sister, brother-in-law, have you heard of Fragrant Fried Chicken?

What do you guys think? Should I open a fried chicken shop with my friends?

Li Zhenjiang asked, "Can you handle working as a fried chicken chef?"

Yu Haitang rolled her eyes at him: "Who said I was going to do it myself?"

"I can't just open a store like theirs."

Li Zhenjiang said, "Forget about it. Do you have their fried chicken recipe?"
Also, do you own a shop? Do you know how much a shop costs?

Yu Haitang smiled and said, "Brother-in-law, I've thought it all out. I won't open such a big one; I'll just open a smaller shop."

"Can you lend me some money..."

"Come on," Yu Li interrupted her fantasy. "How much money do you think we make? Summer is coming soon. Business isn't good here."

I have many expenses here.

Yu Li is no longer as stingy as before, but she hasn't become much more generous either.

She looked down on Yan Bugui as a person, but she still agreed with many of his theories.

For example, you have to pay interest when you borrow money.

Even though Yu Haitang is his own sister, he can't let her off the hook.

In the end, Yu Haitang left Yu Li's restaurant in a huff.

At this moment, she was filled with regret.

He and He Yushui were classmates, and she was the prettiest among them.

Because they didn't get into university, the gap between them has only widened.

He Yushui and the others are now all officials, their families are not short of money, and they live a very happy life.

Then look at her, her family life is troubled, and her career is not going well. No matter how much she tries, she can never catch up with more people.

Yu Haitang is too ashamed to even approach He Yushui and the others now.

Looking at Yu Haitang's retreating figure, Li Zhenjiang said worriedly, "Why don't you go and take a look?"

Yu Li said nonchalantly, "No need. She'll just be angry for a couple of days at most, and she'll be fine after that."

You tell me, Yan Jiecheng was doing just fine, why did he quit?

Li Zhenjiang felt there was definitely something wrong, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what it was.

"They may have found a new way to make money."

Yu Li pondered for a long time but couldn't figure it out, so she simply gave up.

"So, what are we going to do in the summer? Keep opening the hot pot restaurant?"

Li Zhenjiang shook his head: "On such a hot day, how many people would come to eat hot pot?"

I asked Xu Damao, and he came up with an idea: let's install more air conditioners.

It's cooler inside, so more people are eating there. (End of Chapter)
