The Red Era: The Crowd in the Siheyuan

Chapter 544: Their respective partners

Seeing Yan Bugui turned around and went home without saying anything, Liu Haizhong didn't say much and went back to think about the matter of the reverse approval document.

He Yuzhu also went out to do his own thing.

As soon as he got home, Yan Bugui couldn't wait to share the news with his wife.
"My dear, guess what I just heard?"

Seeing Yan Bugui was keeping the secret at this time, Aunt Yan looked at him in surprise, and then asked very cooperatively,
"I can't guess. What did you hear?"

"Zhuzi and Xiao'e opened a restaurant in Dazhalan two years ago. It was the one owned by Erqiangzi and Juanzi from Gui Chef's family on Yandaixie Street. I just found out that it was Zhuzi who funded them to open the restaurant.

You can see how well Zhuzi and his wife kept it a secret. They haven't revealed anything for two years.

If He Yuejin hadn’t gotten married this time, we wouldn’t have known about it until now.”

"If you hadn't told me, I would have thought that was your chef's restaurant.
If this is from the pillar, then it is well hidden.

But Zhuzi's identity is there, if he does it openly, the impact will be a bit big, which is understandable."

"Hehe, Zhuzi said the same thing. He also said that things will become more and more open in the future. He is not afraid of others knowing about it. What do you think, should we open a restaurant and earn some money for retirement?"

When Aunt Yi heard Yan Bugui said he wanted to open a restaurant, she didn't agree or disagree, and she didn't have any opinion.
"Old Yan, please think carefully.

Let's not talk about whether it's tiring or not. It will cost at least 1,000 to 2,000 yuan to rent a storefront, hire a chef, and buy tables, chairs, and benches to open a restaurant.
For people like us, we don’t know how long it will take to get our money back.”

"Of course I've thought about it. We have more than 10,000 or 20,000 yuan in hand, so paying 1,000 or 2,000 yuan is not a big deal.
But the key is who will be in charge of the business. We are not pillars, and we cannot find reliable juniors to help us. If we do it ourselves, I am afraid we will be exhausted. "

Seeing Yan Bugui worrying about this matter, Aunt Yan thought for a moment and then said,
"How about Jie Cheng and Yu Li run the business?"

"shit,
I know you are a mother and you are willing to think about your son.
But you don't know what kind of person your son is. If you let them run the business, they will definitely kick us out in less than two months after they get used to it.

By then, let alone making money, even if we don’t lose money, it will be a great loss for our Yan family’s ancestors.”

Aunt Yan thought so too. None of the children she and her husband had raised were easy-going. As long as they could really make money, they would never allow others to share in it, even if they were their parents.

Then Aunt Yan thought about the neighbors in the courtyard again.

From the brothers Xu Damao and Liu Guangqi in the backyard, to Qin Huairu's family in the middle yard, they finally set their sights on He Yuzhu.

"Old Yan, why don't we team up with Zhuzi? We watched him grow up, and he's a senior official. Xiao'e got a share of money from Director Lou, so he definitely won't ruin his reputation for a little money from our family.
Besides, the He family has been a chef family for generations, and they have many connections, so they are definitely much better than us working alone."

Seeing that his wife was planning to date He Yuzhu, Yan Bugui couldn't help but shook his head.
"You're thinking well.

But I'm afraid Zhuzi doesn't think highly of this business.

How many people near Shichahai envy Erqiangzi and Juanzi for their booming business? Some even report them. But do you think Zhuzi cares?

If he really cared, he would definitely go to the restaurant more often, and then he wouldn’t be able to hide it.”

At this point, Yan Bugui pondered for a moment, then laughed cunningly.

"It's just a small restaurant. I don't think it's worth Zhuzi's attention. Instead of asking Zhuzi, we might as well ask Jianguo. If we form a partnership with Jianguo, and something happens to the restaurant, can Zhuzi just watch and do nothing?"

Hearing this, Aunt Yan clapped her hands and nodded happily.
"That's right. Although Jianguo's cooking skills are far inferior to Zhuzi's, he is still the canteen director of the steel mill. He is more than capable of running a small restaurant.
We just pay the money and check the accounts when we have nothing to do. At worst, we can just take less.

It’s better than leaving it to Jie Cheng and them.”

Seeing that his wife began to dislike their eldest son, Yan Bugui did not pay much attention to it.

"That's settled then. I'll go talk to He Daqing later to see what he thinks."

"Okay, then go quickly!"

When Yan Bugui went to look for He Daqing, Liu Haizhong returned to the backyard and met Xu Damao who was about to go out. Seeing that Liu Haizhong looked absent-minded, Xu Damao smiled and asked,
Xu Damao was not surprised to learn that He Yuzhu had opened a small restaurant a few years ago. With his understanding of He Yuzhu, nothing he did was surprising.
It's not that the profiteer didn't care, but he was very interested in Liu Haizhong's attempt to make money by reselling approval documents.

"Uncle Liu, speaking of trading approval documents, now is the right time. The price system reform has entered the second stage. Those who traded grain and pork have made a fortune. Now it's our turn.

You've worked in a steel mill all your life, and you don't have any connections you can use?"

"If you ask me to explain, I really can't. The main reason is that I have been in the trading room for so many years, and I don't know who will believe me."

"What's the big deal? I took the initiative to come to your door. It's about making money. Even if others spit on me, so what?
It's better than having to watch their faces sullenly at home every day!"

As the old saying goes, the one who is close to the water gets the moon first. The two families lived next door to each other. Xu Damao had seen what Liu Haizhong had been going through recently, and this hit him right in the nick of time.

When Liu Haizhong heard Xu Damao mention the rebellious sons in his family, he immediately made up his mind.

"That's fine, Uncle Liu will listen to you. It's no big deal to be ridiculed by those old colleagues. It's better than being bullied by my son and daughter-in-law at home every day.

When I have money, I will see how I deal with them."

Xu Damao still wanted Liu Haizhong to guide him at this time, so he naturally continued speaking.

"That's right. How can a father look at his son's face? This is simply going against the will of Heaven. We must deal with Liu Guangqi and the others, otherwise there will be more chaos in the future."

"Humph! Now the world has turned upside down.

Damao, please stop talking nonsense. You are the head of the Propaganda Department and you must be very familiar with the factory. Please introduce the factory to me.

I'll see who can be of use, and I'll do it in a targeted way."

"Of course. You can't be a headless fly. Otherwise, you might offend people just by the order of things. Your life is already difficult, and you can't make any more mistakes.

Come on, Uncle Liu, let’s go to my house first, and we can discuss this slowly.”

After saying that, Xu Damao stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation, inviting Liu Haizhong into his home, giving Liu Haizhong enough face.
