Siheyuan: Relieve stress and relieve worries

Chapter 884 Dongxu informs
Sha Zhu came to Wang Zhan's gate and knocked on the copper ring on the gate. He Yushui's voice came from inside. Sha Zhu answered. He Yushui was very surprised that his brother came over. He asked, "Brother, why are you here? Aren't you drinking at home?"

"I have something to do with Wang Zhan. What is he doing?" Sha Zhu asked as he walked in.

"What can he do? He's reading in the study. You go ahead. I'll take Lili out to play for a while and come over later." He Yushui pulled Wang Li and walked towards Dayu and Xiaoyu's nest.

Sha Zhu went straight to the study in the west wing, knocked on the door, and then pushed it open. Wang Zhan was at the desk. When he saw that it was Sha Zhu who came in, he greeted him and asked him to pour the tea himself.

Wang Zhan sorted out the books, then looked at Sha Zhu and asked, "Why is the discussion not going well?"

Sha Zhu nodded and said, "I was interrupted by the front yard halfway. Yi Zhonghai didn't say anything. You said that my dinner was in vain."

Wang Zhan laughed and said, "I could guess that, but I didn't expect that the old man didn't say anything. This is very surprising. I thought he had already found a reason to defend himself."

Sha Zhu said depressedly: "If he said something, it would be fine. I would have a rough idea in my mind, but I didn't expect him to say nothing and didn't defend himself. This really makes me confused."

Wang Zhan looked up at Sha Zhu and said, "What's so confusing? It means he is hiding something from you and he is afraid that he might let it slip."

Sha Zhu looked at Wang Zhan in confusion and asked, "What else could it be? Isn't it just the matter of Jia Zhang? If we talk about it, it will become clear. If he is wrong, he is wrong. If he admits it, what can I do to him?"

Wang Zhan pondered for a while, and suddenly asked: "Brother Zhuzi, how is your work going?"

When Sha Zhu heard Wang Zhan asking about his job, his expression became unnatural and he said, "What else can I do? I'm still a level nine chef, and I make 27.5 yuan a month. I can make do with Huabei."

Wang Zhan then asked, "So your level is at this level? Or is it higher, but there is no chance to upgrade?"

When Sha Zhu heard what Wang Zhan said, he was unhappy and said, "Of course not. No matter what I say, you have seen my cooking level. I am at least a level 7 chef. If I work hard, it is not impossible for me to be a level 6 chef."

Wang Zhan said, "Then why haven't you taken the exam yet?"

"I offended someone, the canteen director. He has been blocking me from taking the exam. How come you could have guessed this?" Sha Zhu looked at Wang Zhan and asked.

Wang Zhan smiled and said nothing for a long time before he said, "Do you feel that there is something else that affects your relationship with the canteen director?"

Sha Zhu took out a cigarette. He knew Wang Zhan was still young and didn't smoke at all, so he lit it up by himself and pondered over the work problems. After a long time, he suddenly looked up at Wang Zhan and said uncertainly: "Xiao Zhan, you mean someone is behind this, and that person is Yi Zhonghai. Is this bastard really him?"

Wang Zhan nodded and said, "It's possible. It will affect your promotion. In fact, it's not a good thing for the canteen director. His subordinates can't be promoted, which has a great impact on him. But as long as there is enough benefit, he can still do this."

Sha Zhu guessed it almost exactly, that is, Yi Zhonghai secretly bribed the canteen director to block Sha Zhu's promotion.

Sha Zhu was furious. If Wang Zhan hadn't persuaded him, he would have run back to the yard to fight with Yi Zhonghai. At the same time, at the deaf old lady's house, Yi Zhonghai confessed what he had done. The deaf old lady frowned as she listened. In her heart, Sha Zhu was still very important, but she didn't expect that another person she cared about would trip up Sha Zhu.

The deaf old lady bowed her head and said nothing. After Yi Zhonghai finished speaking, he remained silent. The deaf old lady looked at Yi Zhonghai and asked, "Why are you doing this? If Sha Zhu knew about this, he would hate you, wouldn't he? Do you want him to take care of you in your old age, or not?"

Yi Zhonghai sighed and said, "This silly Zhu is too self-centered and always does what he wants. If he gets promoted and earns more, I'm worried that he will get out of my control, so I resorted to some tricks."

After listening to this, the deaf old lady said, "Zhong Hai, you are good in every way, but your desire for control is too strong. However, things go against your wishes. Look at the mother and son of the Jia family. Do you control them?"

Yi Zhonghai shook his head and said, "His family is his family. I have other means. I am now worried that Sha Zhu will turn against me. If this matter is exposed, I will not be able to stay in the compound. Old lady, do you have any way to let Sha Zhu let this matter go?"

The deaf old lady thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll go and mediate. After this is over, you should just be quiet and stop bothering Sha Zhu. Let him get married and live his life properly."

The deaf old lady put forward her request. When Yi Zhonghai heard it, he frowned a little, but still agreed and said that he would not plot against Sha Zhu again.

After calming down, Sha Zhu left Wang Zhan's east courtyard. He planned to go to work tomorrow, so he went to the canteen director to test the water. As soon as he turned the corner, he saw Jia Dongxu standing in the alley looking around.

Sha Zhu asked: "Brother Dongxu, what are you doing standing here?"

When Jia Dongxu saw Sha Zhu, he came over and pulled him out of the alley. As he walked, he said, "Come on, smoke a cigarette with me. I have something to tell you."

Sha Zhu was pulled by Jia Dongxu into the alley outside, and the two of them lit up cigarettes and started smoking.

"Shazhu, let me say sorry to you first. I have caused you a lot of trouble because of my mother's matter. It was not right for my family to handle this matter. I am sorry." Jia Dongxu looked at Shazhu and said.

Sha Zhu waved his hands and said, "Brother Dongxu, this matter is in the past, let's not mention it again, but you have to tell your mother not to cause me trouble again. I won't let you off so easily next time."

Jia Dongxu nodded, then lowered his voice and said, "You know my mother. She's a money-grubber. Do you think my mother would hire someone to make trouble for you? Have you ever thought about it carefully?"

Sha Zhu frowned. He had originally suspected that Yi Zhonghai was behind this. Jia Zhang was just a hired hand, and the person behind the scenes was most likely Yi Zhonghai. But he never knew why they did this and what they were trying to achieve.
Looking at Sha Zhu, Jia Dongxu lowered his voice and said, "It seems that you have guessed it. The one who hired my mother is my master, your uncle Yi Zhonghai. If you want to know the reason, it is actually very simple. There are two main purposes for this matter. One is to ruin your reputation. The other purpose is that when you are most desperate, he will jump out to save you. This is called showing favor. If you are saved by him, will you be grateful to him from then on? Will you get closer to him? You are a loyal person. You may even agree to support him in his old age."

Sha Zhu's frown deepened. He didn't expect that Yi Zhonghai had this purpose. But Sha Zhu turned around and asked Jia Dongxu, "Brother Dongxu, you are the disciple of the master, and you kowtowed to him. Why are you telling me this? Let me tell you, I don't have any money. All my money is with my sister."

Jia Dongxu was amused, patted Sha Zhu on the shoulder and said, "I really can't bear to watch this anymore, so I'm reminding you for the sake of our long-standing friendship. It's good that you know it. It's too late, go in."
