Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

Faced with the unreasonable demands of Liu Guangtian and his three companions, Yi Zhonghai had no choice but to seek help from Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui.

"Old Liu, Old Yan, you two should do something about them."

Liu Haizhong's answer was quite straightforward: "I can't control it."

Yan Bugui's reply was a bit hesitant: "It's not that I'm unwilling to take care of it, it's just that what they said makes sense."

Everyone else is getting a raise, why is someone getting a pay cut? That doesn't make sense.

The two of them basically meant the same thing: they didn't want to get involved.

Neither of them were stupid, especially Yan Bugui, who was good at scheming.

Yan Bugui would always quibble over the passing manure cart.

Not to mention anything related to money.

Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiekuang had their salaries reduced, which meant that the Yan family's overall income decreased.

Yan Bugui was definitely not happy about it.

He had already reached an agreement with Liu Haizhong to fight for the benefits of his family.

Yi Zhonghai couldn't understand this, or rather, he had never thought about it.

In Yi Zhonghai's view, now that the nursing homes have all been established, everyone is in the same boat.

Since we are all in the same boat, we shouldn't be concerned about our own petty interests.

His theory is that one shouldn't be too selfish.

Everyone is preparing for retirement, so there's no need to worry about that little bit of salary.

"How can you say that? No, I propose we hold a general meeting of the entire college."

"Old Yi, what kind of meeting is this? Holding a meeting in the courtyard, aren't you just making a fool of yourself in front of the people He Guoqiang arranged?" Liu Haizhong stopped Yi Zhonghai.

Their power is limited to managing the elderly residents of No. 95 Courtyard.

The people He Guoqiang had arranged completely ignored them.

Every time they held a meeting, those people would sit on the sidelines and watch the spectacle.

That's like watching a monkey show on a pedestrian bridge.

If it were just for looking, that would be fine.

Even if you lose face, you should keep it to yourself.

The problem is, after people finish watching it, they'll go out and chat with other people.

What they were saying spread throughout the alley in less than half an hour.

As soon as they step outside, they are surrounded by their neighbors in the alley.

The neighbors looked at them as if they were watching a monkey show.

This has made Liu Haizhong less enthusiastic about meetings.

Yan Bugui was also reluctant to hold a meeting: "Old Liu is right. The root of this problem is still the issue of wages."

Why don't you go find Jin Qihao and ask him to raise the salaries of Guangtian and the others?

“I’ve already looked for it,” Yi Zhonghai said, dissatisfied.

He did indeed contact Jin Qihao.

But it didn't work.

Liu Guangtian and his group did some dirty work at the restaurant.

Moreover, the restaurant doesn't need them to operate, so Jin Qihao is unwilling to pay them such high salaries and support them for nothing.

Of course, there is another reason for this.

After the restaurant opened, they would eat there, and when they drank too much, they would talk nonsense.

When they talked about the old courtyard houses, they inevitably mentioned the deaf old lady.

Liu Guangtian and his companions didn't have a good impression of the deaf old lady, so naturally they couldn't say anything nice about her.

These words were overheard by Jin Qihao's men.

Those people told Jin Qihao, and it was already a good thing that Jin Qihao didn't fire them.

Jin Qihao tentatively asked Yi Zhonghai, but Yi Zhonghai naturally wouldn't mention the Liu and Yan families' lack of filial piety.

According to Yi Zhonghai, the Liu and Yan families were filial, but not as filial as he and Qin Huairu.

Upon seeing this, Jin Qihao simply made a decision without telling Yi Zhonghai the reason.

Yi Zhonghai genuinely didn't understand why Jin Qihao insisted on deducting the salaries of four people.

Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui viewed the matter differently.

They couldn't see their own problems; they only saw that the Jia family had benefited greatly, and they suspected that Yi Zhonghai was biased.

This is not a doubt.

Yi Zhonghai has never been fair.

No matter what it is, Yi Zhonghai will always let the Jia family benefit.

Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui didn't expect Yi Zhonghai to be absolutely fair; they could accept it as long as the difference wasn't too great. In reality, the gap far exceeded their acceptable limit.

Banggeng works as the deputy manager of the restaurant, while Tang Yanling, Xiaodang, and Huaihua each manage a fried chicken shop.

Even Tang Yanling's two best friends became managers of fried chicken shops.

Only their son received no benefit whatsoever.

Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui felt extremely unbalanced.

These are things that Yi Zhonghai was unaware of.

Since the nursing home was established, Yi Zhonghai has been inclined to enjoy life.

He wants to make up for all the hardships he has endured in his life.

He felt that it was enough for him to enjoy his life while Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui were with him.

Yi Zhonghai's current focus is on Qin Huairu, and he needs to ensure that Qin Huairu continues to be filial.

He didn't have the energy to pay attention to Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui's thoughts.

I'm too lazy to pay attention.

To put it bluntly, Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui were also his high-level tools.

The only difference is that these two people get to sit at the table and eat meat.

Does Yi Zhonghai have any thoughts on the need to pay attention to "tools" (personal assistants)?

No need.

Yi Zhonghai's behavior greatly displeased the Liu and Yan families.

Liu Guangtian and his three companions were constantly thinking about how to make money and then break free from Yi Zhonghai's control.

At this moment, Li Huaide appeared in the restaurant.

"Brother, look, isn't that Li Huaide?" Liu Guangfu saw Li Huaide walk in and felt that he looked somewhat familiar.

He wasn't quite sure and was afraid he'd mistaken someone for someone else, so he pulled Liu Guangtian along.

Liu Guangtian looked in the direction he pointed and immediately recognized Li Huaide and You Fengxia.

"Those two bastards. I'd recognize them even if they were reduced to ashes."

Yan Jiefang didn't recognize Li Huaide and looked at him curiously a few times: "Didn't they say that the police and customs were going to arrest him?"

How dare he come back?

Liu Guangtian said angrily, "The police and customs have already withdrawn the warrant for his arrest."

Yan Jiekuang asked, puzzled, "Why? He was involved in such a large-scale smuggling operation, why should it be revoked?"

Was it He Yuzhu who helped him?

Liu Guangtian shook his head: "It's not He Yuzhu. I asked Xu Damao, he's a friend of his from before."

Li Huaide has incriminating evidence against those people.

Liu Guangfu said, "Why say so much? Let's go find Li Huaide and settle the score."

They swindled so much money from us, don't think you can just let it go like that.

"Walk."

The group walked directly toward Li Huaide.

Li Huaide led You Fengxia directly to a private room upstairs.

They came here today to meet with Liu Guangtian and the others.

You Fengxia stood at the door of the private room, staring down the corridor: "Do you think they saw us?"
"Could it be that they didn't recognize me?"

Li Huaide laughed and said, "What's the rush? Let's wait here for a while. If they don't recognize them, we'll have the waiter find them."

You Fengxia said with a smile, "I just want to get He Yuzhu's matter settled as soon as possible."
I knew He Yuzhu was rich, but I didn't know he was that rich.

These past few days have felt like a dream.

A jewelry necklace worth hundreds of thousands can be worn casually.

Li Huaide said with a hint of envy, "Don't be so short-sighted."

At his level, money is actually the least important thing.

If he wants money, plenty of people will give it to him.

You Fengxia turned to look at Li Huaide: "Regret it? If you hadn't become that director, you wouldn't have had to resign."

"If you followed He Yuzhu now, you'd definitely be better off than Xu Damao."

Li Huaide's face darkened: "Are you deliberately trying to expose my shortcomings?"

You Fengxia laughed heartily: "I was just kidding. Don't be angry, go back and I'll keep you company."

They've arrived.

Upon seeing Liu Guangtian and the others, You Fengxia walked over and sat down next to Li Huaide. (End of Chapter)
