Siheyuan: Start with a Truck Driver

"Stupid column!"

"Old man, have you forgotten that you found a job as a private chef for Sha Zhu through your apprentice Xiao Liu? He has been paid for several months and must have money. He should lend it to you."

Just when Liu Haizhong was at a loss, Second Aunt suddenly had an idea and thought of Sha Zhu.

Liu Haizhong's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw, but he couldn't help cursing in his heart: This guy Shazhu is such a piece of shit. He works as a chef for Boss Huang and makes so much money, but he doesn't even treat me to a drink. It's really not nice of him.

So, when night fell and it got dark, Liu Haizhong hurried to Sha Zhu's house.

At this time, Sha Zhu had been busy all day and was preparing to take off his clothes and rest.

Hearing a knock on the door, he opened it and saw it was Liu Haizhong. He not only frowned, but also showed a somewhat unhappy look on his face.

Liu Haizhong didn't care whether Sha Zhu was happy or not, and he didn't want to be polite to him. He said straight to the point: "Sha Zhu, I won't beat around the bush with you. Lend me two hundred and fifty-four yuan."

When Sha Zhu heard this, his eyes widened as if he had heard something out of the ordinary, and he was completely stunned.

More than two hundred yuan is not a small amount of money. Many people work hard all their lives but cannot save that much money.

He couldn't help but yelled angrily: "Liu Haizhong, are you dreaming? Two hundred and fifty-four yuan, why don't you go and rob it!"

When Liu Haizhong heard what Sha Zhu said, he immediately flew into a rage, his face flushed red, and he pointed at Sha Zhu's nose and cursed, "You heartless thing!

If my apprentice Xiao Liu hadn't introduced you to the job of private chef, you wouldn't know where to starve now! Now I'm asking you to borrow some money, and you're like this?"

Shazhu also feels wronged

He told Jia Zhang about Liu Guangqi and Liu Guangtian's escape, but he didn't expect that the blame would fall on him in the end.

Sha Zhu continued angrily, "Besides, I really don't have any money. Don't you see how I live? I'm already living a tight life, and I have to help Qin Huairu's family from time to time.

Where can I get you two hundred and fifty-four dollars? Get out of here and stop bothering me!"

Seeing that Sha Zhu refused to listen to his words, Liu Haizhong immediately became angry and humiliated. A hint of viciousness appeared on his face and he threatened, "Sha Zhu, you better think about it!

If you don't lend me the money, I will tell Mr. Huang about your theft. Tell me, if Mr. Huang knows that you are such a dishonest person, will he still keep you there as a cook?

How can a canteen hire a cook who steals? You will have to pack up and leave when the time comes!"

When Sha Zhu heard this, he was immediately furious. His eyes were red and veins popped out on his forehead. He took a step forward, raised his fist, and shouted, "Liu Haizhong, how dare you! Don't spit bloody words at me here. When did I steal anything? If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will beat you up today!"

Seeing this, Liu Haizhong showed no weakness and quickly clenched his fists, ready to fight with Sha Zhu, and said viciously: "Just try! Do you think I'm afraid of you? If you don't take out the money today, I'll keep my word!"

Sha Zhu looked at Liu Haizhong's sturdy body and knew in his heart that he was no match for him.

He was so angry that his whole body was shaking and his fists were cracking, but he could do nothing.

After a stalemate, Sha Zhu had no choice but to give up, put down his fist helplessly, and said with a gasp: "Liu Haizhong, don't push me too far! It's not that I don't want to lend you the money, I just really can't come up with so much money!

Seeing that Sha Zhu was determined not to lend the money, Liu Haizhong rolled his eyes and came up with another plan, saying, "Sha Zhu, I also know that you gave all the money to that bitch Qin Huairu.

How about this, you go to Mr. Huang's cafeteria and steal the meat, oil, etc. You can sell them on the black market for a lot of money, so you can lend them to me."

When Sha Zhu heard this, his eyes widened and he quickly waved his hand to refuse: "Liu Haizhong, what nonsense are you talking about!

I have finally found this job, how can I do such a sneaky thing? If I get caught, my life will be ruined! "

Seeing that Sha Zhu still refused to give in, Liu Haizhong changed the subject and asked, "Don't play dumb with me. How much do you earn every month?"

After hearing this, Sha Zhu suddenly fell silent, with a trace of helplessness and frustration flashing across his face.

Although Mr. Huang promised to give him 35 yuan a month, he was just like Huang Shiren, and he would find ways to deduct his salary every month.

He is only paid less than ten yuan a month, which is not even as good as a temporary worker.

Seeing that Sha Zhu's attitude had softened, Liu Haizhong continued to persuade him, "Sha Zhu, just do it with confidence!

Mr. Huang's cafeteria is private, which is not in compliance with the rules. If something was stolen, he would not dare to report it to the police station, otherwise he would be in trouble.

As long as we do it cleanly, you can continue to be a chef there, and I guarantee that Mr. Huang won't notice it at all."

After listening to Liu Haizhong's words, Sha Zhu was indeed a little tempted. He was short of money now, and Liu Haizhong had no choice but to do it. This seemed to be a "shortcut" to solve the problem.

However, he was still a little worried, and frowned as he said, "Even if I can steal it, those things are not easy to sell. If I get caught, I will still be sued."

Liu Haizhong patted his chest and said confidently: "Don't worry about this, I have a way.

You, just try to get Mr. Huang to buy more oil and meat. When there are more, we can get more when we steal. When we sell them, we will make money. Leave this to me. There will be no problems. "

Sha Zhu hesitated for a while, thinking about his current predicament, and thinking that what Liu Haizhong said seemed to make some sense, he gritted his teeth and finally agreed: "Okay, then I'll try. But I'll be frank with you, if something goes wrong, don't give me away."

Seeing that Sha Zhu finally agreed, Liu Haizhong showed a smug smile on his face and said, "Don't worry, Sha Zhu, we are friends, I will definitely not harm you.

Just prepare yourself and when the time is right, we will take action."

The next day, before it was fully light, Sha Zhu got up early and came to the cafeteria with sleepy eyes as usual.

Not long after, Boss Huang began to patrol the cafeteria as usual, with his hands behind his back and walking in square steps.

As soon as he saw Sha Zhu, his face suddenly darkened and he scolded him angrily: "Sha Zhu, what's wrong with you recently? You use too much oil when cooking. Don't you know how much it costs? Also, I suspect you are stealing food from the cafeteria. Don't think I can't see it!"

Sha Zhu felt so aggrieved. If it were in the past, he would have rolled up his sleeves and started arguing with Boss Huang.

But today was different. He was still thinking about his plan with Liu Haizhong, so he suppressed his anger and said with a smile, "Boss Huang, you are right. I will definitely correct my mistakes in the future and I promise not to make the same mistake again."

Seeing that Sha Zhu didn't talk back this time, Boss Huang nodded with satisfaction and turned around to leave.

At this moment, Sha Zhu seemed to suddenly remember something and said to Boss Huang in a mysterious tone, "Boss Huang, let me tell you something. I was chatting with a few friends yesterday, and they said that the authorities are going to tighten the control of supplies. You don't know that the prices of grain, meat, and oil in the pigeon market are rising, and I heard that they will rise even more in the future."

When Boss Huang heard this, his heart skipped a beat.

His private canteen has no official supply channels, and usually relies on the pigeon market to purchase ingredients. Now that he heard that the control of materials was going to be tightened and prices were going to rise, he suddenly became nervous.

He stared at Sha Zhu and asked anxiously, "Sha Zhu, is what you said true? Don't make fun of me!"

Sha Zhu patted his chest loudly and assured with a confident look: "Boss Huang, how dare I lie to you! My friends all work in the logistics department, and the information is absolutely reliable. If you don't believe me, go and ask around."

When Boss Huang heard that Sha Zhu's friend was in the supplies department, he became even more worried.

He thought about it for a moment and felt that it was better to believe it than not. He did not care about much else and said to Sha Zhu, "Sha Zhu, you have done a great job this time!" After saying that, he turned around in a hurry and trotted all the way to the pigeon market.

When he arrived at the pigeon market, Mr. Huang was afraid that if he was a step late, the prices of those materials would go up again. Without blinking an eye, he bought four or five hundred yuan worth of materials in one go, including meat, oil, and various grains. Afterwards, he hurried back to the canteen with these materials, put them all into the warehouse, and locked them up carefully, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

On the other side, Liu Haizhong also hurried to the pigeon market. He paced back and forth among the bustling stalls, his eyes rolling around, carefully observing each stall and stall owner.

I spent half an hour at the stall.

Finally, he seemed to have found his target and walked straight to a middle-aged man.

He greeted her with a big smile on his face: "Old Chen, look at your business now, it's booming, you must be making a lot of money."

When Lao Chen heard someone calling him, he looked up at Liu Haizhong, only to find that the person in front of him looked a little unfamiliar and he couldn't remember who it was for a moment.

Seeing this, Liu Haizhong hurriedly introduced enthusiastically: "Me, Liu Haizhong, don't you remember me? We were apprentices together in that old factory. Have you forgotten?"

Old Chen suddenly realized what was going on and a hint of surprise appeared on his face. He finally recognized Liu Haizhong.

However, after all, they hadn't seen each other for decades, so Lao Chen was still very alert. He thought that Liu Haizhong must have bad intentions when he suddenly came to his door. Thinking of this, Lao Chen didn't want to continue setting up the stall. Without saying anything, he started to pack up his things and turned around to leave.

When Liu Haizhong saw this, he hurried forward to stop him, still smiling, and said anxiously: "Old Chen, don't go! I'm not here to cause you trouble this time, I'm here to bring you business.

Just listen to what I have to say first, and if you feel it is inappropriate, you can leave, okay?"

Old Chen hesitated for a moment, his eyes full of suspicion, but he still said patiently: "Then hurry up and tell me, don't dilly-dally."

Seeing that Lao Chen had loosened his grip, Liu Haizhong hurriedly moved closer and said in a low voice, "Lao Chen, I have a batch of supplies, including oil, meat, and everything else, which are worth hundreds of dollars. Considering our previous friendship, I will sell them to you at a lower price. I guarantee you will make a lot of money."

When Old Chen heard this, his face changed instantly. Without even thinking, he turned around and left.

He knew that the control of materials had been extremely strict in recent years, and how could an ordinary worker like Liu Haizhong have such a large amount of materials? In his opinion, Liu Haizhong was most likely a spy sent by the government to lure them into the trap.

Seeing this, Liu Haizhong became extremely anxious and was unwilling to give up just like that.

He quickly followed Lao Chen in small steps, explaining as he chased him: "Lao Chen, listen to me, this is reliable, I'm not trying to trick you. I had no choice but to come up with this trick because I needed the money urgently. If you miss it, you'll lose a lot."

Old Chen turned a deaf ear to him and walked faster, just wanting to get rid of Liu Haizhong as soon as possible. But Liu Haizhong was like a sticky candy, following him closely.

The two of them hurried out of the pigeon market, one in front of the other. Lao Chen turned around in the narrow alley, as if he was deliberately shaking off his bangs behind him.

Suddenly, Lao Chen stopped abruptly and turned around.

Liu Haizhong had been chasing closely, and when he saw Lao Chen stop, he thought that Lao Chen had changed his mind and was overjoyed.

He took two steps at a time and walked towards Lao Chen. But before he could reach Lao Chen, a gangster suddenly jumped out from a dark alley next to him.

This little gangster is actually Lao Chen’s “safety guarantee”.

In this mixed pigeon market, buying and selling controlled assets is a dangerous thing. If you are not careful, you may be "robbed by the black". So Lao Chen hired this gangster to protect himself at the critical moment.

The gangster looked at Liu Haizhong warily and asked Lao Chen: "What happened? Who is this person?"

Old Chen said confidently, "I think he is a spy sent by the government. He said he has supplies to sell to me. Who knows what his intentions are."

When the gangster heard this, he immediately became furious, his eyes glared, he rolled up his sleeves and rushed towards Liu Haizhong, cursing: "You dare to ruin our business, wait and see how I deal with you today!"

Liu Haizhong was startled by this sudden change and quickly waved his hands to explain: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding! I'm really not a spy, I just need money urgently and want to sell some supplies to make some money."

But the gangster didn't listen to him at all and punched directly at Liu Haizhong.

Seeing that explanation was useless, Liu Haizhong had no choice but to clench his fists.

Don't be fooled by this gangster's fierce appearance. When it comes to a real fight, he is no match for Liu Haizhong.

When Liu Haizhong was young, he was quite skilled in boxing and kicking. After a few rounds, the gangster was beaten back step by step.

"Well, you old man look like you can fight well."

The gangster was so angry that he thought he could easily teach Liu Haizhong a lesson, but he ended up suffering a loss.

He just reached out to his waist and pulled out a dagger, which flashed coldly in the sunlight, and then rushed towards Liu Hai viciously.

When Liu Haizhong saw the shining dagger, his heart skipped a beat and he immediately became scared.

The toughness just now disappeared without a trace in an instant. He subconsciously raised his hands and said in a trembling voice: "Don't... don't be impulsive, let's talk it over nicely!"

joke.

He was unarmed, so he was no match for this guy.
