Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

He Yuzhu ate lunch at the construction site, and Qin Jingru cooked for him.

Qin Jingru and her husband had been working on the construction site with Xu Damao.

Xu Damao set up a canteen on the construction site, cooking for the workers and also preparing a special meal for himself. Qin Jingru was the head chef of this special meal.

Qin Jingru brought over a plate of fish and placed it on the table.

"Brother Zhu, please forgive me for my poor cooking skills."

He Yuzhu took a bite and thought it was alright. It was far from being as good as a professional chef's, but it wasn't bad either.

"Great, Jingru, your skills have improved."

Qin Jingru smiled and said, "This is all thanks to your guidance. Well, you guys eat first, I'll go to the kitchen to tidy up."

After he left, He Yuzhu stared at Xu Damao for a while.

He discovered that Xu Damao and Qin Jingru really had no relationship. That put his mind at ease.

Think about it too.

Qin Jingru is indeed greedy and ungrateful, but she did not make any mistakes in her relationships with women.

Whether Xu Damao was at the height of his fame, down on his luck, or after their divorce.

There have never been any rumors or gossip about Qin Jingru's relationships with women.

Unlike Qin Huairu, who enjoys being surrounded by men, especially Yi Zhonghai, the two seem unable to get by without exchanging a few whispered words every day.

Back when Sha Zhu was alive, the people in the courtyard had all been whispering about these things.

They incited Shazhu to beat up the people who were gossiping.

As a result, nobody talked about Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu; everyone was talking about Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu.

Sha Zhu, far from being ashamed, was actually proud of it. The more others said that, the happier he became.

Xu Damao didn't know what He Yuzhu was looking at; he was still thinking about what happened that morning.

"Brother Zhu, you're being too harsh. Nothing's happened at the construction site. Why are you deducting their bonuses?"

He Yuzhu explained, "Xu Damao, you must remember, making money is important, but safety is even more important."

If you want to grow your company, you must pay attention to this. If something really goes wrong, how much money do you have to pay in compensation?

This time, we'll teach Sun Fuqiang a lesson.

Also, I warn you, don't use your tricks to win over and corrupt my workers.

If I find out again, I won't let you off the hook.

Xu Damao said helplessly, "Fine, I won't say anything more, okay? You're just making a mountain out of a molehill, it's not that serious."

"You still said."

"I'm not saying anything more. Let's drink." Xu Damao picked up the bottle and was about to pour wine for He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu waved his hand in refusal. "Don't drink and drive."

He Yuzhu drove here today, so he won't be drinking.

When Xu Damao saw that He Yuzhu wasn't drinking, he said, "If you're not going to drink, I'll drink it myself."

"I have something to tell you. Qin Huairu is going to open a fried chicken shop."

"Let her open it. Can I watch her and stop her from doing business?" He Yuzhu said indifferently.

He Yuzhu had no intention of keeping the recipe for fried chicken a secret. He had heard that there were already several fried chicken shops in other places.

Those shops wanted to emulate the city's renowned aroma, but found they couldn't. They could only transform into ordinary individual stores.

You can make money this way, but it's impossible to make a lot of money at once.

The Qin Huai shop, like that one, can only follow this model.

Just be.

Those people are definitely not content with doing such a small business.

If one's abilities cannot keep up with their ambitions, then Qin Huairu's business will definitely not last long.

Xu Damao laughed and said, "That's not what I meant. I just mean, they're really good at causing trouble."

In less than a year, their shop changed several times. It went from a restaurant to a steamed bun shop, and then to a braised meat shop.

Now, they're opening a fried chicken shop.

"If they don't make trouble, are they still the same people? Have they forgotten what happened before?"

"How could I forget? I suffered greatly from it back then. If the Jia family farted, Yi Zhonghai would be so eager to hold a meeting to buy them a pair of pants."

That's not wrong. Yi Zhonghai was genuinely dedicated to helping the Jia family. He showed them great care and concern, even more so than he would his own father.

It was precisely because of his dedication that he nurtured the Jia family's heart.

The Jia family's appetite grew larger and larger, and Yi Zhonghai, who was stingy to begin with, soon couldn't stand it anymore.

Sha Zhu became his chosen backup.

He Yuzhu asked curiously, "Does Yi Zhonghai work with Qin Huairu every day now?"

During the same period, Yi Zhonghai didn't have to do anything.

He doesn't have to spend a penny on meals; Qin Huairu will bring him food at mealtimes.

All Yi Zhonghai needed to do was brainwash Sha Zhu and keep him away from Lou Xiao'e and He Xiao.

Xu Damao took a nice sip of wine: "He doesn't want to do it, but Qin Huairu is unwilling."

I heard from Aunt Li that Qin Huairu would go to wake him up on time every morning.

Every time Yi Zhonghai went out, he had a dark face, as if someone owed him eight million.

He should learn from Yan Bugui; Yan Bugui is always cheerful when he goes out.

"As long as Yan Bugui makes money, how could he not be happy? By the way, how is Liu Haizhong?" Speaking of the three old men, one cannot forget Liu Haizhong.

The things Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui are doing are annoying, annoying every single day.

Bangs can be annoying, but they don't bother people every day.

Normally, my bangs don't cause trouble, but when they do, it's a big deal.

Xu Damao said with a disdainful look, "He just stays at home all day doing nothing."

That old bastard started a company behind my back and doesn't want to share the profits with me.

I'll make sure he doesn't earn a single penny.

Let me tell you, in the last two months, he sold ten tons of rebar.

That idiot still doesn't understand what's going on.

He Yuzhu thought to himself, "Xu Damao is quite shrewd to resort to such underhanded tactics."

At its peak, Liu Haizhong could sell 2,000 tons a month.

"It must have been you who played this trick."

Xu Damao chuckled.

He Yuzhu asked in confusion, "Didn't I tell you to transfer Lan Jianyun away?"
"You can't do it?"

It's impossible that it can't be done.

Xu Xiaoling is in charge of this area at the Industry Bureau. If she were to intervene and find Lan Jianyun a different job, it shouldn't be too much of a problem.

Xu Damao whispered, "I didn't go to see Xiaoling. Liu Haizhong had a falling out with a boss. He agreed to deliver the goods, but then the price went up when they arrived."

The boss hated him, so he wrote a letter of complaint.

After Lan Jianyun was reprimanded by the factory, he hardly pays any attention to Liu Haizhong anymore.

Without a doubt, the boss who dared to write the whistleblower letter must have been instigated by Xu Damao.

However, it wouldn't be bad if Lan Jianyun broke off his relationship with Liu Hai.

If things continue as in the original story, he will continue to take care of Liu Haizhong. But once Liu Haizhong gets involved in a smuggling case, Lan Jianyun will be in trouble.

To be honest, Xu Damao is doing quite well now. His construction company's business is picking up, but whether he'll still be involved in smuggling is another matter.

The method was indeed effective, but He Yuzhu did not agree with doing it.

In business, you can use tricks, but such underhanded methods will make it difficult to do business in the future.

"Xu Damao, stop using such methods. If people find out, no one will want to cooperate with you."

Xu Damao said nonchalantly, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

He drank another glass of wine.

This guy got drunk before he even finished eating.

Qin Jingru came over to pack her things, and seeing him like this, she wasn't surprised at all.

"Brother Zhu, Xu Damao has drunk too much again. I'll call someone to take him back to his dorm right away."

A short while later, Qin Jingru walked in with a middle-aged man.

This man is Yu Shunan, Qin Jingru's husband. He's of average appearance, but reliable and hardworking. He treats Qin Jingru very well. (End of Chapter)
