Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

Many people at the steel rolling mill hated Li Huaide, but many were also grateful to him.

After he left, Yang Peishan wanted to settle scores with him and encouraged people in the factory to expose Li Huaide's crimes.

Not many people have come forward to report Li Huaide. Not many have reported Yang Peishan back then.

the reason is simple.

Li Huaide was not a good person, but he was good to his subordinates.

Like Liu Haizhong, although he was dismissed by Li Huaide, he was actually still very grateful to Li Huaide.

Because Li Huaide was the only person who allowed him to become an official.

Xu Damao was no exception.

Because of his relationship with He Yuzhu, he could be considered one of Li Huaide's close associates.

Li Huaide treated him well as well as he did.

Xu Damao was overjoyed to see Li Huaide.

Seeing Xu Damao's attitude, Li Huaide was in a good mood: "Xu Damao, you're doing well."

After Xu Damao became rich, he immediately bought himself several suits, a big gold chain, and a designer watch.

Every time I go to the construction site, if I see someone wearing a suit, it's definitely Xu Damao.

"I'm just trying to make a living. I never expected to meet you today."

Director Li, I'll go back and tell the people inside. Let's have a few drinks tonight.

Li Huaide nodded: "Sure, it's on you."

"No need, I can't let you treat me. I'll treat you," Xu Damao quickly said.

Liu Lan said from the side, "Stop arguing. If Director Li has to pay for his meal at Chaoyang Hotel, He Yuzhu will be furious with me when he gets back."

This meal is on the house. I'll go and arrange some good dishes for Director Li.

Director Li, the usual stuff?

Seeing that the two of them were so accommodating, Li Huaide was even happier: "The same as always."

Liu Lan said, "Please go to that private room over there. I'll go to the kitchen to make the arrangements for you."

Xu Damao said, "You go ahead, I'll tell them and then I'll go."

Li Huaide then led You Fengxia into the private room.

You Fengxia said in surprise, "I didn't expect you to have so much influence."

Li Huaide looked completely unconcerned: "What's the big deal?"

He Yuzhu and I have been brothers for decades. He was only seventeen when we met.

You Fengxia had heard this kind of talk many times, and today it has finally been proven true.

“He Yuzhu isn’t here, why are you drinking with Xu Damao? He looks like a nouveau riche.”

Li Huaide glanced at the door to make sure no one was there before whispering, "It's good to be a nouveau riche."

Since we're doing business in Beijing, we'll definitely need to find a few people to help us.

Xu Damao is rich and has connections; he's exactly the person we're looking for.

After thinking about it, You Fengxia realized that Li Huaide was right.

Their goods have arrived, and they'll definitely need to find a market. They'll probably have to handle it themselves; that would be too risky.

“Xu Damao and He Yuzhu are on good terms. Aren’t you afraid that he will tell He Yuzhu?”
"You said it yourself, He Yuzhu wouldn't be interested in our kind of business."

Li Huaide laughed and said, "That's because you don't understand the two of them."

He Yuzhu is the kind of person who never speaks carelessly.

As for Xu Damao, it's true that he and He Yuzhu have a good relationship.

But he prefers to take shortcuts.

Xu Damao has no bottom line; he'll get involved as long as it makes money.

He knew He Yuzhu would stop him, so he wouldn't tell He Yuzhu.

You Fengxia trusted Li Huaide quite a bit. After hearing Li Huaide's words, she had no further objections.

Xu Damao then entered the private room.

Tang Yanling asked curiously, "What does Aunt Liu want with you?"

Xu Damao said, "A friend of mine is here. You guys have lunch, I'm going to keep my friend company."

After you finish eating, you can go back now. You're free this afternoon.

"What kind of friend?" Chai Ning asked.

Xu Damao felt there was nothing to hide about Li Huaide's affairs, so he said, "It's Director Li from the steel rolling mill who's back. I'm going to have a drink with him."

"Alright, stop asking. Order whatever you want. I'll pay the bill later."

After Xu Damao left, he didn't go straight to the private room, but went to He Yuzhu's office. He found Fu Wen, the hotel's office manager: "Could you open He Yuzhu's office for me?"

Fu Wen and Xu Damao were acquaintances, so she asked, "Why are you opening the office door?"

"I'll take a bottle of wine," Xu Damao said.

Upon hearing this, Fu Wen immediately became alert.

The wine in He Yuzhu's office was all brought back by He Yuzhu.

Those wines are all high-quality wines; they're only served to very important guests.

"You invited just a few people, did you really need to use such good wine?"

Clearly, she also knew who Xu Damao was having dinner with.

Xu Damao scoffed: "Do you really need to use good wine to invite those people?"

The person I invited today is no ordinary person; he's He Yuzhu's former buddy.

Hurry up.

Fu Wen didn't believe Xu Damao's words: "President He specifically instructed that the wine in his room should not be touched casually."

"If you want good wine, I'll get you a bottle of Moutai."

Xu Damao said, "Don't worry. If He Yuzhu were here, he would definitely offer to serve the wine."

If you don't believe me, you can ask Liu Lan or Duan Zicong.

"Ask them, if Director Li comes over, would He Yuzhu have the nerve to serve him those cheap wines?"

Xu Damao himself is nothing special.

But he also has another identity: the ex-husband of Zhang Yan, a shareholder of the hotel.

Everyone who knows the situation understands that the couple will remarry sooner or later.

Fu Wen didn't want to offend Xu Damao, so she called Liu Lan over.

After Liu Lan arrived, she glared at Xu Damao and said, "All you ever think about is He Yuzhu's little bit of wine."

Xu Damao denied it: "What do you mean I'm thinking about it? I just don't believe that when Director Li comes, he won't bring out some good wine."

I'm here to entertain Director Li on his behalf.

Liu Lan pursed her lips and said to Fu Wen, "You should still give it to him."

He Yuzhu and Director Li used to have a very good relationship.

Seeing that Liu Lan had said so, Fu Wen had no choice but to open He Yuzhu's office.

Xu Damao didn't stand on ceremony at all, took a bottle of special-supply Moutai, and was about to leave.

Fu Wen stopped her again. That was a special supply of Moutai; there were very few people who could drink it.

"Xu Damao, why don't you change to another bottle?"

Xu Damao said, "No need to exchange it. This thing is very precious to others."

For He Yuzhu, it meant nothing. He had a whole bunch of stuff at home.

Liu Lan pointed at Xu Damao: "Just wait until He Yuzhu comes back and settles accounts with you."

"Alright, let him take it. Don't worry about this."

Fu Wen had no choice but to let Xu Damao go and locked He Yuzhu's office again.

"Liu Lan, you agreed to this. Now that President He is back, I will tell you the truth."

Liu Lan didn't care at all: "Just tell me. This thing is precious to us, but it's nothing to him."

Fu Wen felt a pang of jealousy.

One by one, they all said the wine was nothing special.

He had the key to He Yuzhu's office, but he hadn't even tried it yet.

But there was nothing he could do; these were all He Yuzhu's old colleagues.

"You make it sound so easy. That wine is only brought out when Mr. He's close friends, or when high-ranking leaders, come over."

Liu Lan, being the kind of person she was, sensed the jealousy in her tone and said with a smile, "If you want a drink, just wait for him to come back, and I'll get you a bottle."

Little girl, how long have you been working at the restaurant?

"Work hard. He Yuzhu is the kind of person who won't mistreat his subordinates."

Liu Lan is a senior figure, and few people in the restaurant dare to offend him.

Fu Wen could only listen to her words and dared not say anything back.

However, when she returned to her office, she still wrote down everything that had happened that day.

When He Yuzhu returns, I need to tell him. (End of Chapter)
