Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

He Yuzhu didn't leave much of an impression on Bang Geng, except that he was ruthless and good at fighting.

Yi Zhonghai was practically a local tyrant in the courtyard. Even such a formidable man couldn't be easily outmaneuvered by He Yuzhu.

On several occasions, Bang Geng witnessed Yi Zhonghai being slapped by He Yuzhu.

After being slapped, Yi Zhonghai didn't dare utter a single word.

Bang Geng hates He Yuzhu, but he doesn't dare to cause trouble for He Yuzhu. The reason is that he is frightened.

Tang Yanling, however, did not believe Bang Geng's words. She had been beautiful since childhood, and almost every man fawned over her.

She was confident that no man would have the heart to speak harshly to her, let alone hit her.

"Hey, no offense, but can't you show some respect to Uncle He?"

You keep calling him "Silly Zhu," no wonder he beats you up.

Who is he? A big boss. There aren't many people in Beijing who are richer than him.

He's such a big boss, and you call him by his nickname? No wonder he'd beat you up.

I'm warning you, if you don't come with me, we're going to the Civil Affairs Bureau right now to get a divorce.

Bang Geng had no choice but to grit his teeth and continue walking with Tang Yanling toward Chaoyang Hotel.

As soon as the two arrived at Chaoyang Hotel, Bang Geng saw He Yuzhu coming out of the store, and he immediately stopped in his tracks.

Tang Yanling was furious when she saw that he wasn't leaving again.

Are you leaving or not?

Banggeng quickly explained, "Look over there, that's He Yuzhu."

Fearing that Tang Yanling would be angry, Bang Geng changed how he addressed He Yuzhu.

Upon hearing this, Tang Yanling forgot about being angry with Bang Geng and quickly looked in the direction Bang Geng was pointing.

She saw He Yuzhu get into a car.

Upon seeing He Yuzhu's face clearly, Tang Yanling was immediately puzzled.

He Yuzhu clearly saw her that day, so why did he still hide his identity?

She quickly came to her senses and grabbed the stick, ready to go forward.

Unfortunately, it was too late; He Yuzhu had already left in his car.

Tang Yanling called out twice from behind, but the car didn't stop.

He Yuzhu actually saw the two of them, but did not ask the driver to stop.

The matter of the courtyard house was over for him. Now he only needed to wait for Yi Zhonghai's final, tragic end.

This can be considered his explanation to Sha Zhu.
Watching the car drive away, Tang Yanling had no choice but to stop.

"It's all your fault. Does your family have no manners? He Yuzhu is such a big boss, and you don't even know how to curry favor with him. Instead, you've offended him."

Bang Geng was afraid that Tang Yanling would be angry with him, so he quickly shirked responsibility.

"It's really not my fault. It's all the fault of the elders in my family."

Don't be angry with me. Since we're at Chaoyang Hotel, how about we go have a meal there?

"What's there to eat? You've made me so angry I'm full. I'm warning you, if you don't resolve my job issue soon..."

"Don't blame me for turning against you." Tang Yanling glared angrily at Bang Geng.

She wants a job; trying to get rid of her with a meal is a pipe dream.

Banggeng panicked and quickly racked his brains to find a solution.

Soon, an idea came to him.

That's what Qin Huairu was talking about last night.

If it were true that those who get rich first could help those who are still poor, then their families would have money.

"Don't go, I have something very important to tell you."

Tang Yanling looked at him with disdain: "What important things could you possibly have to say?"

Okay, stop bothering me.

"Instead of wasting that time, you'd be better off going back and thinking about how to get me a job at the Chaoyang Hotel."

Banggeng asked helplessly, "There are so many organizations in Beijing, why do you insist on working at the Chaoyang Hotel?"

I promised you, I will definitely get you a job at Chaoyang Hotel.

You have to give me some time.

Tang Yanling said matter-of-factly, "Why do you say that?"
Do you know that the Chinese New Year is just around the corner? Their company said last year that they were going to hold an annual party.

I want to participate too.

Bang Geng simply couldn't understand Tang Yanling's thoughts. But there was nothing he could do; after all, he liked Tang Yanling.

"I understand. I promise you, I can definitely get you a job at Chaoyang Hotel before the end of the year. Is that alright?"

Perhaps it was Bang Geng's overconfidence that made Tang Yanling, who originally wanted to leave, stop in her tracks.

"You really have a way."

Bang Geng said, "I definitely won't lie to you. Not only will your job be solved, but our family will also have a large sum of money."

Although Tang Yanling still had doubts, she wanted to find out more, so she didn't continue to make a scene and leave.

Bang Geng thought of what his friend had said: you can't be stingy when it comes to women.

He said, "Let's go to Chaoyang Hotel for dinner first, and chat while we eat."

Maybe we can still wait for He Yuzhu to come back.

Tang Yanling thought that since she had nothing else to do, she might as well go in and wait.

It would be best if I could get He Yuzhu, but it's okay if I can't.

The two then entered the restaurant.

"Aunt Liu, we're here again."

Liu Lan looked at Tang Yanling and the other woman with a puzzled expression.

If she remembers correctly, when Tang Yanling came over yesterday, she was arguing with Bang Geng, acting like Shi Si wanted a divorce.

They've only been apart for a day, and they've already made up?

Liu Lan wasn't concerned about whether the two had reconciled, but rather she couldn't understand how Tang Yanling could tolerate a mother-in-law like Qin Huairu.

"Yanling, why are you here again? I already told you, Mr. He isn't here."

Tang Yanling complained, "Don't lie to me. We just saw Uncle He leave in his car."

Liu Lan showed no embarrassment at being exposed.

"If he's gone, he's gone. Even if he were in the restaurant, he wouldn't see you."

Don't waste your time.

Tang Yanling asked, puzzled, "Why is that?"
I've looked into it, and the Jia family and Uncle He don't seem to have much of a grudge.

It's just a cellar at most.

If Uncle He wants it, I can have Bang Geng return the cellar to him.

"Such a big boss as Uncle He, can't he forgive the Jia family?"

Liu Lan smiled and shook her head. This isn't just about a cellar.

Liu Lan was quite familiar with the Jia family and knew them very well.

The Jia family may not be very capable, but they have enormous ambitions. In particular, the two widows in the Jia family are both incredibly ambitious.

The Jia family got involved, and this restaurant couldn't satisfy the appetites of those two widows.

"Don't worry about these things. There's nothing else I can tell you. All I can say is that the restaurant won't take you in."

There are plenty of other jobs available, why are you fixated on Chaoyang Hotel?

Tang Yanling said enviously, "The Chaoyang Hotel has high salaries and good benefits."

Who wouldn't be envious?

Aunt Liu, please, have some compassion and say a few good words for me.

Liu Lan quickly waved her hand in refusal.

Everything else can be discussed with He Yuzhu, but when it comes to matters involving Qin Huairu and a few others, there's absolutely no room for discussion.

Liu Lan didn't want to offend He Yuzhu: "No, I'm about to retire, I don't have the guts to get involved in your affairs."

You'd better not contact me anymore.

Your mother-in-law is very shrewd; you should go find her.

Liu Lan immediately called a waitress to serve Tang Yanling and the other woman, while she slipped away to the kitchen.

Duan Zicong is now the head of the kitchen. When he saw Liu Lan come in, he stopped her.

"Sister Lan, why are you running to the kitchen again? Aren't you afraid the chef will find out?"

Liu Lan said, "I have important business in the kitchen."

"What's the matter?"

"Banggeng brought his wife to the restaurant for dinner again."

Duan Zicong was speechless: "What kind of serious business is this? Let them come to eat, they're practically giving our restaurant money, how can we refuse?"

Liu Lan knew this reason was unconvincing, so she could only turn and leave. (End of Chapter)
