Siheyuan: A Very Happy Era

Chapter 610 Everyone Wants to Cling to a Powerful Figure
"By the way, Qiangzi, look at all the things I've said to you, why don't you have any reaction?" After a while, Xu Damao suddenly stopped and asked, somewhat annoyed.

"Ha! What are you saying? What kind of reaction do you expect me to have?" Li Guoqiang chuckled inwardly, then asked with amusement.

"No, I made 5000 yuan in one go, which is seven or eight years' wages for those workers! Don't you have any thoughts about this?" Xu Damao was getting anxious.

"Why should I have any ideas?" Li Guoqiang raised an eyebrow and asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"You and me..." Xu Damao was at a loss for words when he saw Li Guoqiang's expression.

He had originally thought he could show off in front of Li Guoqiang, but to his surprise, Li Guoqiang didn't show any envy at all.

"Alright, I know you've made a lot of money and are very capable, okay?" Li Guoqiang waved his hand and said somewhat irritably.

"No, then why aren't you surprised at all?" Xu Damao asked, his face full of confusion.

As far as he knew, Li Guoqiang was just a junior manager sent by Qiangsheng Company to Beijing to assist with some domestic affairs, earning only a few hundred yuan a month.

Although this salary is already quite high compared to other ordinary workers.

But compared to the money he made in business, it was nothing.

Therefore, Li Guoqiang's reaction seemed abnormal to him no matter how he looked at it.

"Why should I be surprised? Do you know how much this outfit of mine would cost in Hong Kong?" Seeing that Xu Damao was still somewhat unwilling, Li Guoqiang couldn't help but ask impatiently.

"How much?" Xu Damao was immediately stunned when he heard this.

That being said, he hadn't really thought about this issue before.

"At least 2000 yuan!" Li Guoqiang held up two fingers.

"What? You're saying your outfit is only worth 2000 yuan? You're not kidding me, are you?" Xu Damao was dumbfounded.

"Do you think I need to joke with you?" Li Guoqiang glanced at Xu Damao, then asked in a somewhat annoyed tone.

"No, I just think it's a bit too exaggerated!" Xu Damao waved his hand and then explained incredulously.

After he finished speaking, he carefully examined Li Guoqiang's clothes, trying to see if there was anything special about them.

However, no matter how he looked at it, he couldn't see it. He just thought the workmanship was good, the fabric was also very nice, and it was quite elegant and appropriate.

"Is that an exaggeration? I have even more outrageous ones! Do you want to see them?" Li Guoqiang raised an eyebrow and asked with a hint of mockery.

"I want to!" Xu Damao immediately became curious upon hearing this.

"Then open your eyes wide and take a good look." Li Guoqiang smirked, reached out and picked up the leather bag next to the sofa, then threw it directly into Xu Damao's arms.

"What is this?" Xu Damao asked with some confusion as he opened the zipper.

Then, when he saw the stacks of banknotes in the bag, he was instantly stunned.

After a long while, he looked up in shock and asked, "Where did you get so much money?"

"Heh! Where else could this have come from? I took it out of the bank!" Li Guoqiang chuckled, then said with a serious expression.

"No, I mean, how did you make so much money?" Xu Damao was slightly taken aback, then hurriedly asked.

You should know that there's at least several hundred thousand yuan in that bag.

Let alone ordinary workers, even if he, a newly established businessman, were to save up, it would probably take him more than ten years.

Moreover, this would require him to earn several thousand yuan every time, just like last time.

"Don't you know? This is all a reward from the company for the work I did!" Li Guoqiang replied seriously.

"What? This is all a reward from your company?" Xu Damao's face couldn't help but show a look of envy.

"Yes! Besides the money, the company also gave me a car as a reward. It's parked right next to the gate of the company. Didn't you see it?" Li Guoqiang nodded calmly.

Upon hearing this, Xu Damao felt a pang of heartache.

He even wanted to show off in front of Li Guoqiang!

It turns out he himself was the arrogant clown who didn't know his own limitations.

However, this is not surprising, given that Li Guoqiang possesses the amazing ability to fly and disappear into the ground!

Thinking of this, Xu Damao suddenly realized a question and hurriedly asked, "Qiangzi, tell me the truth, how much money do you have right now?"

"Well, I'm not entirely sure of the exact amount, but it should be at least tens of millions." Li Guoqiang paused for a moment, then spoke earnestly.

"Tens of millions!" Xu Damao was dumbfounded.

This number is something he wouldn't even dare to dream about!

"Are you alright?" Li Guoqiang frowned when he saw Xu Damao suddenly standing there blankly, then kicked Xu Damao.

"No, I'm fine!" Xu Damao came to his senses and shook his head in shock.

Then, he opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but for a moment he didn't know how to say it.

No matter how he thought about it, he never imagined that Li Guoqiang would be so rich.

Do not!
This isn't just being rich, it's practically owning a gold mine!

One of the simplest examples is to put this money in a bank for a fixed deposit, and then receive at least millions in interest every year.

Thinking of this, Xu Damao's heart suddenly trembled, and then he knelt down on the ground with a thud and grabbed Li Guoqiang's leg.

"Qiangzi, you're really amazing! Can I follow you from now on?"

"Hey, don't pull this on me! I already told you before that my business isn't suitable for you, and I even pointed you in the right direction: become a contractor. If you can stick with it, you'll definitely make a fortune in the future." Li Guoqiang frowned and said somewhat irritably. "But, but I work so hard every month, and after deducting all the labor and costs, I only earn a few hundred or a thousand yuan. When will I ever earn as much money as you?" Xu Damao said pitifully.

"Look at what you're saying. Haven't you found a new way and made 5000 yuan right away?" Li Guoqiang was secretly pleased to hear this, and then chuckled as he reminded him.

"How can these be the same?" Xu Damao was still somewhat unwilling to give up.

After all, the business he was doing with Li Huaide and You Fengxia was not only very risky, but also had a share limit, so he couldn't just earn as much as he wanted.

Moreover, he had long wanted to go to Hong Kong to see the sights, but Li Guoqiang had always been unwilling to take him there.

Now that he knows Li Guoqiang is actually making so much money in Hong Kong, how can he possibly resist?

"Alright, I've already made myself perfectly clear. Instead of wasting your time, you should be thinking about how to expand your construction team, take on more projects, and make more money!" Li Guoqiang's face turned cold.

In fact, if Xu Damao hadn't always treated him with utmost respect, he wouldn't have had the time or inclination to guide Xu Damao on the path to becoming a contractor!
If Xu Damao can listen to him and work diligently to run the construction team well, then in ten or twenty years, he should be able to amass a fortune of at least hundreds of millions.

If Xu Damao continues to seek quick money and associates with shady characters like Li Huaide and You Fengxia, he will eventually be swindled into poverty and follow the same path as in the original drama.

How to choose is up to Xu Damao's own fate.

Not long after, Xu Damao, having pleaded in vain, dared not pursue the matter any further. He simply returned home, drinking alone and pondering what to do next.
We listened to Li Guoqiang and worked diligently to get the construction team running smoothly.
Or should we continue to increase investment and do business with Li Huaide and You Fengxia?

Just as he was getting a headache from thinking about it, on the other side, Sha Zhu had already drunk himself into a stupor and collapsed on the dining table.

Qin Huairu had completely forgotten about Sha Zhu and went to sleep early, preparing to get up early the next morning to make breakfast for Li Guoqiang.

As for Bang Geng, he went out to hang out with his friends for most of the afternoon and didn't come back until after dinner, looking drunk. Now he's sleeping like a log.

After confirming that Jia Zhangshi was fast asleep, Xiao Dang and Huaihua, the two sisters, suddenly tiptoed out of their house and headed straight for Li Guoqiang's house.

"Sister, wait a minute, I'm a little scared!" Huaihua saw Xiaodang about to push the door open and quickly reached out to stop her.

"What are you afraid of? Just do whatever I do!" Xiao Dang said confidently, trying to reassure him.

"What if he kicks us out?" Huaihua was worried that Li Guoqiang wouldn't like them.

"It's okay, we're both so pretty, he would never refuse us." Xiao Dang's face was full of confidence.

In comparison, she was more worried about whether Li Guoqiang would take responsibility afterward. Would he give them money every month, like he did with Qin Huairu?
If they take advantage of you and then deny everything, they'll be at a huge loss.

"Alright then! You'll have to help me later!" Seeing how confident Xiao Dang was, Huaihua suddenly felt much more at ease, and then nodded gently in agreement.

"Don't worry! Just follow me." Xiao Dang patted her chest vigorously, looking like a big sister.

Then, she took Huaihua's hand, walked forward, and gently pushed open the door to Li Guoqiang's house.

Immediately afterwards, they looked around the living room for a moment, and then slowly walked into the bedroom, where they saw Li Guoqiang lying quietly asleep on the bed.

"Sister, he's asleep. What do we do now?" Huaihua gently tugged at Xiaodang's pajamas and asked timidly.

"Hey, listen to me, we're going to each go in from one side and then hug him tight." Xiao Dang looked at Li Guoqiang's handsome face under the night light and tried to remain calm as she gave the instructions.

In fact, she had absolutely no experience with night raids; she simply relied on her yearning for a better life, dragged Huaihua along, and gritted her teeth to do it.

"Alright, alright!" Huaihua's voice trembled slightly, and her cheeks were faintly flushed.

After saying that, she and Xiao Dang moved towards Li Guoqiang, one on each side.

With a soft sound, they soon slipped into bed and hugged Li Guoqiang tightly.

"Hey, sis, why isn't he awake yet?" Huaihua was relieved but also a little puzzled that such a commotion hadn't woken Li Guoqiang.

"Yeah! Why hasn't he woken up yet?" Xiao Dang couldn't help but feel puzzled and anxious upon hearing this.

In her original plan, she was to wait for Li Guoqiang to wake up, then take the opportunity to pester him and express her feelings, and then go with the flow to make things happen.

Unexpectedly, even at this point, Li Guoqiang was still asleep.

This situation left her completely at a loss, unsure of what to do next.
Little did they know that Li Guoqiang had already woken up from his sleep just as they reached the doorway.

Then, using the perspective of the small world, he could easily see that it was Xiao Dang and Huaihua, the two sisters, who were wearing some cute, thin pajamas.

This immediately aroused his curiosity, so he decided to play along and pretend to continue sleeping, ready to see what the two sisters were up to.

"Huaihua, why don't we do it ourselves?" Xiao Dang thought for a while and suddenly came up with an idea.

"But...but I don't know how!" Huaihua paused for a moment, then lowered her head somewhat embarrassed.

"It's okay, you just watch from the side, I'll demonstrate for you!" Xiao Dang immediately braced himself and reassured him.

Although she had no experience in these matters, as the saying goes, even if you haven't eaten pork, you've at least seen pigs run!
When she was in school, she read quite a few storybooks, and she learned some lessons from them.

Next, it's time for hands-on practice.

"..." Hearing Xiao Dang's confidence, Huaihua's heart jumped into her throat. She then tried to open her eyes wide and watch carefully from the side.

Just as Xiao Dang was clumsily digging into the ground, Li Guoqiang couldn't hold back any longer. He opened his eyes and asked with a grin:
"Hey, what are you guys doing?"

"Ah, you're awake!" Xiao Dang froze for a moment, then asked somewhat awkwardly.

Huaihua didn't say a word, and simply buried her head in the quilt, pretending to be an ostrich.

“Yes! I’m awake. Now can you tell me what you’re doing?” Li Guoqiang nodded, then reached out and pinched Xiao Dang’s chin, a slightly amused look on his face.

"This..." Xiao Dang hesitated for a moment before saying it.
