Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

Back to Yi Zhonghai and his group, they left the courtyard and boarded a bus.

The journey was smooth, and we arrived at Chaoyang Hotel quickly.

Outside the Chaoyang Hotel, there were several signs announcing that the hotel would be closed tonight.

To prevent customers from making a wasted trip, the restaurant put up this sign, which has been up for several days now.

Basically, I know everything I need to know.

At this moment, employees from He Yuzhu's company were walking towards the restaurant one after another.

They were wearing brand new clothes and greeting people they knew with smiles.

The Liu brothers, Guangtian and Guangtian, had already tried, but were stopped at the entrance by security guards.

The two did not leave because they wanted to wait for He Yuzhu outside. They hoped to follow He Yuzhu and enter the restaurant by scanning his face.

Just as the two were staring at the restaurant out of boredom, several acquaintances got off the bus.

"Brother, Dad and Uncle are here."

"What nonsense are you talking about? What would they be doing here? Given Brother Zhu's relationship with them, no one would invite them."

Liu Guangtian didn't even turn his head, continuing to stare at the restaurant entrance.

Liu Guangfu nudged him with his elbow: "Turn around and look, they're holding red paper in their hands."

Do you think it might be an invitation?

"Hey Liu Guangfu, can you stop causing trouble..." Liu Guangtian turned around impatiently, intending to teach Liu Guangfu a lesson.

Then he saw Liu Haizhong and several others walk up to them, each holding an invitation.

"Dad, what brings you here?"

Upon seeing the two people, Liu Haizhong snorted, "If you can come, why can't I?"

"Why are you two sitting outside instead of coming in?"

Fearing that Liu Haizhong would be unhappy, Liu Guangtian quickly explained, "It's not that we don't want to go in."

Look at the entrance of the restaurant, there's a checkpoint set up there.

People without invitations are not allowed in.

"If I can get in, I'll go home and call you."

Liu Guangfu added, "Yes. My brother and I are discussing what to do. If we can get in, we'll go home and call you."

Liu Haizhong said smugly, "No need. I have an invitation."

As he spoke, he shook the invitation a few times.

The Liu brothers immediately showed expressions of disbelief.

The relationship between He Yuzhu and Liu Haizhong and his group is common knowledge. They absolutely do not believe that He Yuzhu would send invitations to Liu Haizhong and his group.

Seeing the expressions on their faces, Liu Haizhong immediately became very angry.

"Open your dog eyes and take a good look."

The Liu brothers, while inwardly grumbling, took the invitation and began to read it.

The two had just tried to go in, following the workers in line. They had seen the invitation before.

Judging from its appearance, the invitation is indeed from He Yuzhu's company.

Upon opening it, I found it also mentioned attending tonight's annual meeting.

The two were surprised to learn that Liu Haizhong was a forger, and immediately believed him.

"You all have invitations? Even Uncle Yi and Sister Qin have them?"

Hearing that he was specifically mentioned, Yi Zhonghai became very angry.

Each of them was holding an invitation; why were they asking him individually?

"What do you two mean? Shouldn't Sha Zhu have sent me an invitation?"

Not receiving an invitation made Yi Zhonghai very angry.

He had already decided that once he entered the restaurant and met He Yuzhu, he would definitely ask him a lot of questions.

He had never seen such a heartless neighbor.

In the past, those landlords and wealthy people would greet their fellow villagers.

He Yuzhu, this neighbor, did something even worse than the landlord.

I haven't seen them since they moved away.

"What do you two mean? Can't we have invitations?"

The Liu brothers, Guangtian and Guangtian, harbor a deep fear of Yi Zhonghai. This fear is etched into their hearts from childhood. Although Yi Zhonghai is now old, Liu Haizhong has a good relationship with him and is particularly obedient to him.

Therefore, neither of them dared to offend Yi Zhonghai.

No matter how much dissatisfaction they felt, they dared not voice it.

"Uncle, we don't mean anything by it. It's just that Brother Zhu is wondering why he didn't send us an invitation."

"Yes. We have a good relationship with Brother Zhu. He shouldn't have missed us."

This was a question that Yi Zhonghai and the others couldn't answer.

They were too embarrassed to admit that the invitations they had were fake.

Tang Yanling spoke up at this moment: "Bang Geng, it's quite cold outside, let's not stand outside."

Banggeng quickly and carefully said, "I'll help you to the restaurant. Be careful when you walk."

Bang Geng and the other man left, and Qin Huairu followed them. Tang Yanling was carrying her grandson, and he had to go and see him.

Jia Zhangshi naturally followed along.

The remaining few, including Yi Zhonghai, also headed towards the restaurant.

Only Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu remained where they were, at a loss.

"Brother, what should we do? I really can't understand why Brother Zhu sent them invitations."

Liu Guangtian said irritably, "You don't understand? I don't understand either."

Have you ever seen an invitation at home?

"No. Mom didn't tell me either. By the way, even Jia Zhangshi and Third Aunt came, why didn't Mom come?"

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

The two brothers exchanged a helpless glance and followed the restaurant.

The two wanted to see if Yi Zhonghai and the others could get in.

I also wanted to see if I could sneak in.

He Yuzhu received a call from Li Dagen, informing him that Yi Zhonghai and the others had come to Chaoyang Hotel.

After hanging up the phone, He Yuzhu walked to the window and looked down.

Just then, he spotted Yi Zhonghai and a few others queuing up behind him.

The people queuing below were all workers from He Yuzhu's company. They were all wearing uniforms issued by their respective factories, and the styles were very similar.

Only Yi Zhonghai and a few others, dressed in a disheveled manner, were easily recognizable.

"They actually came."

Xu Damao walked over: "What did you say? Yi Zhonghai and the others really came?"

He walked to the window and looked down.

"Have someone stop them. If we don't stop them, they'll definitely cause trouble if they come in."

He Yuzhu called Liu Lan over and pointed at Yi Zhonghai and the others: "Go down and take some men to the door and stop them."

Liu Lan glanced out the window and said with a disdainful look, "Those old bastards are still so shameless. Don't worry, I'll find some workers from the steel mill to stop them."

Liu Lan quickly led her people to the restaurant entrance.

Yi Zhonghai and the others also saw Liu Lan, and their hearts pounded with apprehension.

However, the group gritted their teeth and followed the group forward.

Tang Yanling, who was at the front of the line, saw Liu Lan and greeted her with a big smile: "Aunt Liu, what brings you to the door?"

Liu Lan didn't expose her for the time being, and spoke to her with a smile.

"I'm the lobby manager, this is my job. I heard you're pregnant, how many months along are you?"

Tang Yanling didn't dare offend Liu Lan, so she chatted with Liu Lan, and Qin Huairu also tried to build a relationship with her.

Liu Lan stood at the entrance of the passage, blocking the way, so the others couldn't get in.

Yi Zhonghai and the others followed nervously behind, feeling extremely anxious but unable to show it.

Their attention was focused on Liu Lan, and they didn't notice that the workers behind them had gone to other passages and entered through other doors.

Qin Huairu became anxious when she saw that all the other teams had entered while she couldn't.

"Liu Lan, it's quite cold outside. Yanling is pregnant. Can you let us in first so we can talk?"

Liu Lan feigned confusion: "Go in? Didn't you see our notice board?"
The restaurant is closed to the public today. (End of Chapter)
