Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

Despite his anger, Yan Bugui wouldn't let go of any advantage he could get.

He would wait at his doorstep, even if he needed to pee urgently, he would hold it in there.

I was afraid that I would miss Liu Guangqi giving me a gift while I was in the restroom.

At the same time, he kept an eye on Yi Zhonghai's house to see if Liu Guangqi would go there.

Liu Guangqi didn't think that much about it.

He wouldn't have given Li Dagen a gift if he hadn't wanted to ask Li Pan for help.

He carried the things home and gave them to Liu Lu.

"This is good. I'll take it and give it to our factory manager later."

He meant he didn't want any hair left in his bangs.

Liu Haizhong didn't intend to take these things. At his age, with money at home, he didn't have a high need for material possessions.

"What did Old Li say?"

Liu Guangqi sighed: "What Uncle Li said made sense, but he didn't agree."

Liu Haizhong frowned: "This old Li is really disrespectful."

I'll talk about him when I have time.

"No way." Liu Guangqi dared not let Liu Haizhong show up.

He knew all too well what kind of people the three old men were.

Even if Liu Haizhong could have gotten things done, things still couldn't be accomplished.

Seeing Liu Haizhong looking over, Liu Guangqi quickly made up an excuse.

"You're getting old, you can just stay home and enjoy your retirement. I can manage on my own."

Upon hearing that his son cared about him, Liu Haizhong gave up his idea of ​​taking the lead.

Auntie Er asked, puzzled, "Is his Li Pan really that successful?"

Liu Guangqi said enviously, "She is a college graduate from Tsinghua University and has worked for so many years."

Given her qualifications and abilities, she should have been promoted long ago.

You wouldn't believe it, there's some inside information going around.

She'll be a deputy director-level official after the New Year.

The second aunt didn't understand these things, so she asked, "What level is a deputy director-general?"

Liu Guangqi thought for a moment and said, "The director of the steel rolling mill is equivalent to a deputy director-general."

Upon hearing this, Aunt Er understood. She didn't know what other deputy directors were like, but she knew what the director of the steel rolling mill was like.

Wow, that's amazing?

Liu Guangqi said with envy, "Not only Li Pan, but Xu Xiaoling from the Xu family will also become a deputy director after the New Year."

Auntie Er said in surprise, "Wow, they're amazing! Those two must be the most successful people in our neighborhood."

Liu Guangqi shook his head: "The most promising one is Yushui. Yushui became a deputy director-general level official at the beginning of this year."

Aunt Er counted on her fingers and said, "In our courtyard, how come only the girls are successful?"

These words made Liu Guangqi feel somewhat embarrassed.

He's been out there causing trouble for so many years, but not many of the younger girls have achieved anything like him.

At the same time, Liu Guangqi's obsession with becoming an official deepened.

The second aunt realized she had said the wrong thing and quickly said, "I'll go cook right away. What would you like to eat?"

Liu Guangqi didn't dare to have a falling out with his family.

He needs financial support to get promoted.

This requires the support of Liu Haizhong and his wife.

Do you have any beef at home?

"Yes. Your brother brought back ten jin a couple of days ago, I'll cook it right away."

Auntie Er felt much better when she saw that her son wasn't angry.

Yan Bugui was in a bad mood.

He waited outside for almost an hour, nearly wetting his pants, but Liu Guangqi still hadn't brought him a gift.

Now Yan Bugui understood that Liu Guangqi had no intention of giving him a gift.

How can this be done?

Why should we give it to Li Dagen instead of him?

This is absolutely unacceptable.

Yan Bugui stormed into Yi Zhonghai's room.

"Old Yi, do you know what Liu Guangqi just did?"

Yan Bugui's original intention was to add some mystery and provoke Yi Zhonghai.

Little did he know that Yi Zhonghai was lying in the room, still angry with him.

Liu Guangqi first gave gifts to Yan Bugui, and Yi Zhonghai tolerated it.

Thinking that I would be spending my old age with Yan Bugui, there was no need to fuss over such a small matter.

He waited at home for almost two hours, but Liu Guangqi still didn't come to give him a gift. He couldn't tolerate that.

When Yan Bugui said that, Yi Zhonghai assumed that Yan Bugui was there to show off.

"Old Yan, what he's doing has nothing to do with me."

I know you got a good deal, so there's no need for you to come over and brag to me.

Yan Bugui felt extremely wronged. When had he ever taken advantage of him?

If he had really gotten a good deal, he would have been secretly gloating at home long ago.

"Old Yi, what are you talking about? When did I ever brag to you?"

Yi Zhonghai said, "You're not here to show off, what are you here for?"

Don't think I don't know, Liu Guangqi took the things to the front yard.

Yan Bugui now understood that Yi Zhonghai shared the same idea as him.

He quickly explained, "You've misunderstood me. Liu Guangqi didn't even go to my house."

"If I didn't go to your house, whose house did I go to?"

In Yi Zhonghai's view, there were only two people in the entire courtyard who were worthy of Liu Guangqi's gifts.

One is him, and the other is Yan Bugui.

Liu Guangqi went to the front yard, clearly to deliver a gift to Yan Bugui.

Yan Bugui said, "He went to Li Dagen's house."

"Whose house?" Yi Zhonghai looked at Yan Bugui in shock, still suspecting that Yan Bugui was lying.

Yan Bugui said, "Li Dagen. I saw him carrying things to Li Dagen's house with my own eyes."

We talked for a while at Li Dagen's house.

As for Li Dagen's return gift, Yan Bugui felt there was no need to mention it.

That's not important at all.

Yi Zhonghai stared at Yan Bugui for a long time before he believed that Yan Bugui was not lying.

"Why would he give Li Dagen a gift when he's doing this for no reason?"

Yan Bugui shook his head: "I don't know, I thought he gave it to you."

Yi Zhonghai snorted: "What gift? When have you ever seen him give me a gift?"

Yan Bugui had indeed never met him.

In my entire life, I have never seen anyone give Yi Zhonghai a gift.

"Tell me what's going on here? Old Liu is perfectly fine, why did he let Liu Guangqi give Old Li a gift?"

Yi Zhonghai asked, "How do you know it was Lao Liu who asked him to deliver it?"

Yan Bugui said, "Isn't it obvious? We all saw it when Liu Guangqi came."

He bought some fruit and didn't bring anything else.

Those things must have been prepared by Lao Liu.

"It wasn't Lao Liu who asked him to deliver them, so why would Lao Liu prepare those things?"

Yi Zhonghai thought about it and realized it made sense. Yan Bugui guarded the door every day, and no one could hide anything from him when they bought something.

"Old Liu is acting strange. I think we should go check on him."

"I think we really should go and take a look."

The two of them went to the backyard together.

Aunt Erda was stewing potatoes when Yan Bugui thought to himself that it's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early.

"Old Liu, Old Yi and I have come to see you."

Liu Haizhong was in a good mood at the moment, and when he saw Liang Reni, he warmly invited the two of them in.

Yan Bugui was very polite in order to get free food and drinks.

Yi Zhonghai's attitude was not good; he acted as if someone owed him millions.

Liu Haizhong didn't notice anything amiss and even poured Yi Zhonghai a cup of tea.

Yi Zhonghai picked up his teacup and drank it all in one gulp.

"Old Liu, I heard from others that you had Guangqi deliver a gift to Old Li."

Is something wrong at home?

If you need any help, just tell me or Lao Yan. We definitely won't stand idly by.

Yan Bugui added, "Yes, we've been old buddies for many years."

If you have any problems, just let me know.

Liu Haizhong said carelessly, "It's nothing. It's just that Guang Qi wants a promotion and wants to ask Old Li's daughter for help."

Liu Haizhong didn't think wanting to become an official was a bad thing, and he didn't hide it.

Before Liu Guangqi could stop him, Liu Haizhong blurted it out, and Liu Guangqi's face immediately turned ugly.

Liu Guangqi could foresee that after today, the people in the courtyard would definitely call him a power-hungry official. (End of Chapter)
