Siheyuan: Pretend to be a Pig and Eat the Tiger

Liu Haizhong thought it over and over and it seemed more and more feasible. He Yuzhu wasn't that rich anymore, so wasn't it only right to help the neighbors? Not helping would be considered being rich but heartless, and that's how it's always been since ancient times.

However, persuading Yan Bugui is a problem. This guy is best at seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages. He Yuzhu is at the height of his power and may not be willing to participate. Relying on myself alone is definitely not enough!

"Old Liu, we not only need to persuade Yan Bugui, but also the others. Whether we can get through this crisis depends on He Yuzhu!"

Liu Qianshi seemed to have everything under control. Based on her previous experience playing Dou Dizhu, if He Yuzhu didn't help, he would be considered a jerk and would be despised!
It's a pity that Yi Zhonghai is dead, otherwise He Yuzhu would have been even more helpless, because he was a master of moral blackmail!

"Yes, tomorrow I'm going to talk to Lao Yan. We've suffered heavy losses, and Lao Yan is in the same boat. He has a chance to make a comeback, and Yan Bugui has no reason to refuse!"

Yan Family
"Dad, you have to help us! This time, all the money we siblings and I had saved by selling everything we owned has been confiscated. If you don't help us, we won't be able to survive!"

After Yan Bugui finished venting, Yan Jiecheng glanced at him cautiously, full of anticipation!

"Help? How can I help? I've given you all my money, and the little I have left is for my retirement. Where am I going to get money to give you?"

Yan Bugui revealed an expression of "I knew it!" These guys had once again set their sights on him; they really never got enough of taking advantage of him!

"You two are taking care of your retirement, Dad. Now it's about how we siblings can turn things around. Besides, this TV show was only made possible on the premise that you succeeded."
In other words, you also bear responsibility for this television transaction. Now that the televisions were smuggled in and have all been seized, we're all in such a terrible state, how can you bear to do nothing?"

Yan Jiefang was furious. "So you're just sitting around with the money and not helping your children? Is there any father like you in the world?"
"I contacted the boss. I didn't want to get involved, but I gave you 50,000 yuan to help you start your business because I saw your good intentions. Now that it has failed, you're blaming me for everything?"
You ungrateful wretch! You're useless, can't earn any money, and you curse society when you go out and curse your parents when you come home. Get out! Get out!

Yan Jiefang's words thoroughly enraged Yan Bugui. "He Yuzhu is about your age, and he doesn't have parents to help him. Look at what he's accomplished! Even government leaders treat him with utmost respect."
Look at you guys, you're nothing. You blame everyone and everything when you fail. If you can't be rich, go work in a factory. At least you still have jobs, unlike Old Liu's family, who all quit their jobs!
"Dad, that's not what Jiefang meant. He was just anxious. Please calm down!"

In Yan Jiecheng's heart, it would be best if his other younger siblings fell out with Yan Bugui, so that everything Yan Bugui owned would be his. Why not?

However, the business had just failed, and he couldn't handle Yan Bugui on his own. He needed the help of his younger siblings, so it wasn't the right time to fall out!

“All of you have jobs. Starting tomorrow, you’ll all go back to work at the factory. I’ve figured it out; doing business also depends on talent.”
As for the eldest brother, since you don't have a job, the old man can give you one. I've converted your little restaurant into a hot pot restaurant.

Your mom manages the kitchen, and I manage the cashier. Business is pretty good. You can work as a waiter, and I'll do the work. I guarantee you'll have an income.
Alright, that's settled then. You can all go home and find your own wives. The Beggars' Sect has already done their part, so don't get any funny ideas!

The next day, after finishing breakfast, Liu Haizhong leisurely arrived at Yan Bugui's gate, only to find it locked. He exclaimed, "Old woman, do you know what Yang Ruihua is busy with? It's normal for Old Yan not to be home, but why isn't Yang Ruihua here either? This is the first time in all these years I've seen the Yan family's gate locked!"

Liu Haizhong was puzzled. Yan Bugui was the one who went to buy groceries for the Yan family. Yang Ruihua rarely went out, or at least rarely left the compound. Therefore, it was a rare occurrence for the Yan family to lock their doors all these years!
"It seems that after Yan Jiecheng's restaurant was taken over by Yan Bugui, it was turned into a hot pot restaurant. Yan Bugui and his wife are busy with this every day!"

"What? Yan Bugui opened a hot pot restaurant?"

"Yes, he opened a hot pot restaurant. I heard that Yan Jiecheng's business was getting worse and worse and he wasn't making much money, so Yan Bugui bought it for five thousand yuan and turned it into a hot pot restaurant!"

"So that's how it is. No wonder Yan Bugui didn't participate in this transaction. He opened a restaurant and wanted to live a comfortable life!"

Liu Haizhong sneered. Yan Bugui was only good for nothing, always scheming for small money. Unlike him, he didn't care about small money at all!
"This is in line with Yan Bugui's character. Let's look for him again tonight!"

When Liu Haizhong said that Yan Bugui wanted to live a simple life of modest wealth, Liu Qianshi's heart sank. The chances of persuading him were slim!
At this moment, He Yuzhu finally got the paperwork he had been waiting for, and it was time to go to Hong Kong Island!
"Qiuyue, those people in the compound should move out by now. Let Chunming urge them to leave. Chunming is in charge of restoring the courtyard to its original state, so it's reasonable for him to urge them to move out according to the agreement!"

"Understood. I'll stay in the office for a while and won't be going back!"

It would seem a bit heartless to urge them to leave after living in the compound for so long. However, the house has already been bought, and these people have no choice but to let the construction team move in. If they had any sense, they would definitely move out on their own initiative!

"Yes, it's best not to go back, to avoid causing any more trouble. The courtyard house will be restored to its original state, and we'll start when Chunming returns!"

He Yuzhu, still feeling uneasy, gave a final instruction: No. 95 Nanluoguxiang is going to be the He family's ancestral home, so of course it must be restored to its original state to a high standard!
"Don't worry, putting aside other aspects for now, when it comes to old-fashioned items, Han Chunming's requirements will only be higher than ours, not lower!"

Qiuyue rolled her eyes. "Restoring ancient buildings? Chunming is the real expert. What are you worrying about? The key thing is this trip to Hong Kong Island."
I heard that the security there is not very good. I hope He Yuzhu can achieve his goal this time. As time goes by, the He family's business is getting bigger and bigger. Although it has not been integrated, it is already a relatively large group.
The He family restaurant's layout in Jinshi has already begun. The storefront has been purchased and is just waiting to open. The supermarket under the trading company is under renovation. Not to mention, the He family owns 70% of Han Chunming's construction company, but the management rights are in Han Chunming's hands.

Looking back now, without He Yuzhu's decisive resignation, the He family might not have reached its current scale even in ten years. Therefore, Cai Qiuyue had a kind of blind trust in He Yuzhu.

I always felt that He Yuzhu could accomplish anything he set his mind to, but this trip to Hong Kong Island is different. There, money is everything, and gangs and triads are rampant. He wants to open an entertainment company, so it's clear that the difficulty is extraordinary!
"Brother Zhu, be careful. If things get too difficult, come back. Don't force it!" (End of Chapter)
