Siheyuan: Revenge of the Stupid Pillar

Lin Zongwei said straightforwardly: "Brother, tell me what you want. I will never refuse anything I can do!"

Yan Bugui said with shame on his face, "I hope you don't tell Jiefang about our deal. I'm afraid he'll hate me."

Lin Zongwei said sincerely, "Brother, I guarantee with my party spirit that this matter is known to heaven and earth, you and I, and I won't even tell my wife."

Yan Bugui burst into tears and said, "Thank you!"

After the matter was settled, Lin Zongwei couldn't wait to leave the ward. He really didn't want to see Yan Bugui's tears, which made him feel guilty.

As soon as Lin Zongwei left, Yan Bugui wiped away her tears and a smile as bright as the stars appeared on her face.

Yan Bugui is the most shrewd and calculating person. His mind is as big as a lotus root, full of holes. How can a straightforward person like Lin Zongwei deal with him?

Yan Bugui's performance not only earned him the money he wanted, but also made Lin Zongwei feel guilty about him, killing two birds with one stone.

As soon as Lin Zongwei walked out of the clinic, Yan Jiefang and Lin Haiyan immediately surrounded him.

"Dad, how was your talk?" Lin Haiyan asked impatiently.

Lin Zongwei raised the corner of his mouth, and said with a hint of pride: "It's been settled. Your father-in-law has agreed not to pursue the matter of you hurting him, and he no longer opposes you being together."

Hearing this, Lin Haiyan said happily, "That's great!"

Yan Jiefang, however, was filled with surprise, muttering to himself, "This shouldn't be the case. How could my stubborn father compromise so quickly?"

Lin Zongwei said earnestly, "Jiefang, your father still loves you very much. You must take good care of him during this period. Once he leaves, you don't know when you will see him again."

"Haiyan, you should stay and help Jiefang take care of him. He is your father-in-law, your elder. If you dare to disrespect him again, I will show you how I will deal with you."

Lin Haiyan pursed her lips and said, "I know!"

……

Steel Rolling Mill, Logistics Director's Office.

He Yuzhu was reading a book leisurely when there was a knock on the door.

"Please come in!"

With a creaking sound, the door was pushed open from the outside and an extremely beautiful woman walked in.

This woman has a graceful figure, fair skin, and a pair of charming eyes that are as bright as stars and can make people involuntarily fall in love with them.

Fortunately, He Yuzhu's wife and ex-wife were both beauties picked from thousands, so he was not deceived by this woman.

He Yuzhu seemed to have seen this woman somewhere, but he couldn't remember where he had seen her. He frowned and said:

"you are?"

"Hello, Director He, I'm You Fengxia, Director Li's new secretary."

He Yuzhu suddenly understood. Why did this woman give him a familiar feeling? It turned out that this woman was Li Huaide’s lover in his previous life, You Fengxia!

Some things cannot be changed by just a butterfly flapping its wings. Li Huaide's lover in his previous life is still involved with him in this life.

He Yuzhu smiled gently and said, "Hello, Secretary You, is Director Li looking for me for something?"

You Fengxia smiled sweetly: "Director Li asked you to go to his office."

He Yuzhu nodded slightly: "Okay, I'll go now!"

Li Huaide saw He Yuzhu and said enthusiastically, "Zhuzi, come and sit down!"

"Xiao You, quickly pour Director He a cup of tea."

Upon hearing this, You Fengxia immediately made tea for He Yuzhu and handed it to him respectfully.

"Director He, please have some tea!"

"Thank you!"

"You're welcome!"

After You Fengxia finished speaking, she hunched over and left the room, closing the door behind her.

He Yuzhu looked at Li Huaide and said jokingly, "Brother Li, you have good taste!"

Li Huaide's eyes paused slightly, and he said seriously: "Don't talk nonsense, kid. Xiao You is just my secretary."

He Yuzhu said with a lewd look on his face: "I understand. If there is something to do, the secretary will do it. If there is nothing to do, the secretary will do it!"

"puff!"

Li Huaide, who was drinking tea, sprayed the tea in his mouth when he heard He Yuzhu's words. Fortunately, He Yuzhu dodged quickly, otherwise he would have been sprayed in the face.

Li Huaide wiped the water stains from the corner of his mouth and said with a dark face:

"He Yuzhu, don't say that. I, Li Huaide, am a righteous man and have never made any mistakes in my lifestyle."

He Yuzhu was disdainful in his heart, but smiled flatteringly on his face: "I understand! I understand! I was just joking with you."

Li Huaide glared and said, "He Yuzhu, you are becoming more and more unruly. You even dare to make fun of me."

"Sorry! Sorry! I overstepped my bounds!"

While apologizing, He Yuzhu picked up the towel behind the door and wiped the tea on the desk.

"Okay, let my secretary handle these things later!"

Li Huaide took out a cigarette and handed it to He Yuzhu. He Yuzhu didn't hesitate. He threw away the towel in his hand and took the cigarette from Li Huaide.

“Sizzle?!”

He Yuzhu lit a match, lit Li Huaide's cigarette first, and then lit his own.

Li Huaide took a deep breath, exhaled some smoke rings, and said casually:

"Zhu Zi, I heard you moved to the staff housing complex?"

He Yuzhu nodded and said, "Yes, I moved into the apartment in the staff housing complex last weekend."

"Why didn't you have a housewarming party?"

"There's a food shortage across the country right now, and the country is advocating frugality. I wouldn't dare commit a crime against the will of the government."

Li Huaide smiled faintly and said, "It's not as serious as you say. But it's better if you don't hold a banquet. I can save the money for the gift."

He Yuzhu said with a smile: "Brother Li, if you really want to give me a share of the money, I can accept it."

Li Huaide laughed and scolded, "Get lost! By the way, are you used to living in the apartment?"

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "How can I not be used to this? I'm very used to it!"

"The courtyard house where I used to live was a mixed crowd, with people of all kinds often arguing over trivial matters, which was very annoying."

"Nowadays, the residents of the family compound are all factory leaders or technical backbones. They are all of high quality and very rational. They won't argue over trivial matters."

"But because of this, the family compound is less homely than the courtyard house I lived in before."

Li Huaide said unhappily, "I've listened to you for so long. Do you like the current family compound or the old quadrangle?"

He Yuzhu sighed, "It's strange, I was quite excited when I first moved into the family compound, but after a few days, I started to miss the days in the courtyard."

"Although the neighbors in the courtyards often fight, it's still lively. Although there aren't as many quarrels in the family compound, it seems deserted and lacks vitality."

"This is probably what the book says: people outside the city want to come in, and people inside the city want to leave!"

Li Huaide raised his eyebrows and said, "People outside the city want to get in, and people inside the city want to get out. It's a very philosophical saying. Where did you see this in a book?"

He Yuzhu was unsure, "I think I saw it in a book called Fortress Besieged. The original words were: Marriage is a fortress besieged. People outside the fortress want to get in, and people inside the fortress want to get out."
