Siheyuan: Qin Huai Ru, Dong Xu Qing You

"This kid is so mean and doesn't take us working class seriously at all. We need to teach him a lesson!" a waiter shouted while holding a rolling pin.

"That's right, everyone slap him!"

"He got a bargain?"

"Then let him have a good time. Line up and have them smoked one by one!"

More than a dozen waiters from the 303 State-owned Hotel shouted, and everyone wanted to slap Xu Damao.

If one hit per person, that would be thirteen hits.

Xu Damao's face turned blue with fright.

He wanted to explain and just opened his mouth.

The dozen or so waiters waved rolling pins, kitchen knives, brooms, spatulas, and stools in their hands, trying to deal with Xu Damao.

Xu Damao was so scared that he was like an ostrich, holding his head and hiding behind Li Huaide.

Li Huaide also frowned.

He didn't expect things to turn out like this.

"Masters, how about we accept the penalty and each of us will compensate you one dollar, how about that?" Of course, Li Huaide would not really pay the money. Even if he paid for it himself, it would still be charged to Xu Damao in the end.

"One dollar each? You look so well dressed, but you can't even come up with a dollar? How about this, if you don't want to get beaten, give each of you five dollars.

There were thirteen of us, five dollars each, three times five equals fifteen, two times five equals ten, a total of sixty dollars.

Hurry up and take out the money, then you three can leave."

"Yes, pay! Otherwise, none of you three can leave!"

This state-owned restaurant is doing very badly now.

The hotel staff have not been paid for three months.

The street office issued a notice that the hotel must be rented out or sold starting next month.

It is also recommended that employees of state-owned restaurants give priority to renting or buying.

But who can do this?

They had worked in state-owned restaurants for many years and knew what the consequences would be.

There are no guests coming.

Forget about making money, I’m almost starving to death!

To be honest, not to mention the rent for a hotel, buying one would cost a fortune...

Even if it is free, no one is willing to do it.

That's why these employees value money so much.

I'm really scared of being hungry.

Some families eat dry and hard-to-swallow steamed buns every day.

The children were crying because they were hungry.

"Five dollars is nothing, comrades.

Have you ever wondered why business is not doing well?"

Li Huaide was a very mean person. When he saw these employees clamoring for money, he knew that they were having a hard time.

He remembered the anger he had just suffered from Lou Xiaoe and Qin Huairu.

The boy's eyes turned and he came up with an idea.

"It's because I don't have money. Who would come to eat if they have money?"

Some employees curled their lips.

"No, comrades.

Have you seen the new restaurant at the corner of the street? Go and see how popular it is?"

More than a dozen employees of the state-owned restaurant stared across at each other.

The new restaurant across the street is completely different from this one.

opposite.

There was already a long line in front of the restaurant.

At this time, the waiter inside brought small stools and kindly asked them to sit down and wait.

I also made tea for them and handed them some melon seeds, fearing that they would be anxious waiting.

"Hmph, what's the point of all this nonsense? It's all the same! How can they compare with us? We're state-owned."

"Yes, sooner or later we will deal with them and bring them down!"

"In my opinion, I shouldn't have gone back to running this lousy restaurant! It's such a waste of time!"

"Damn it, if it were my turn, we'd just rush over and smash up those stores right now!"

Some agitated state-owned restaurant employees began to grumble.

A burly waiter even threatened to smash up Lou Xiaoe's newly opened restaurant.

This hit Li Huaide's heart.

Li Huaide chuckled secretly, he had been waiting for this moment.

He also wanted to instigate the waiters in these state-owned restaurants to cause trouble.

So he started fanning the flames.

"Comrade, you are absolutely right.

These private restaurants shouldn't even exist! It's a step backward.

You may not know, I just came from over there, we are not going to eat, we are going to teach them a lesson."

"Hey, guess what? That private store over there actually hired security guards and wanted them to beat us up!"

"Is this true? Damn, these bastards are too arrogant! Brothers, let's go smash their store right now!"

It will be easier if someone takes the lead.

Some people just can't stand seeing others do better than them.

This is exactly the mentality of the dozen or so employees of state-owned restaurants.

They haven't received their salary for three months, and the restaurant is out of even vegetables, rice, or noodles.

But these employees still stick here and have no intention of changing.

I can only blame God and myself for being unlucky.

Now that Li Huaide has instigated them, they think that it is because of the opening of private restaurants like Lou Xiaoe that they are in this situation.

Instigated by Li Huaide, these state-owned restaurant employees rushed towards Lou Xiaoe's restaurant with tools such as spatulas, kitchen knives, rolling pins, stools, and iron pots.

Lou Xiao'e and Qin Huairu were already very busy.

Originally, Lou Xiao'e thought that hiring ten waiters would be enough, but once the restaurant opened, the business became even more popular than she had imagined.

Ten waiters are not enough.

"Xiao'e, this won't work.

How about I go back and ask Huizhen to send more people to help."

Qin Huairu saw that if they continued to be so busy, she felt that even if she split the two of them into four people, they would not be able to cope.

So she thought of asking Xu Huizhen for help.

Lou Xiao'e felt that what Qin Huairu said made sense.

Huairu, please come back soon.

I can't hold on here for much longer. Please talk to Huizhen and ask her to send me some of the food prepared by the hotel. I'm afraid it won't be enough.

Lou Xiao'e never expected the restaurant to become so popular.

Huairu agreed and went to find Xu Huizhen for help.

Not long after she left, a dozen waiters from the state-owned restaurant across the street rushed over with weapons in hand.

Lou Xiao'e was busy and felt dizzy when the group of waiters from the opposite side rushed in aggressively.

As soon as the gang arrived they tried to storm into the restaurant.

At this time, the people waiting in line for food saw that they had kitchen knives, iron pots, spatulas and other things in their hands, and thought they were here to help, so they let them in.

"You guys came so quickly? Sister Huizhen knows that business is good here. That's great! You guys should go to the kitchen and help out. Each of you will be paid fifty yuan today.

Come in quickly."

Lou Xiao'e was busy running around when she suddenly saw more than a dozen people, some holding kitchen knives, some holding iron pots, some holding spatulas, and some of them were wearing white aprons.

She thought it was a helper sent by Xu Huizhen and was very happy.

She immediately arranged all these people.

"You two go help in the kitchen, you two maintain order, you two clear the table, you two go wash the dishes in the kitchen..."

Lou Xiao'e skillfully assigned the dozen or so waiters from the state-owned restaurant across the street.

In fact, these dozen people originally planned to enter the store and smash things, but Lou Xiaoe said that she would give each of them fifty yuan after they were done.

After some trouble, they were assigned to work in groups of two.

Even if they wanted to cause trouble, they were separated by Lou Xiaoe. How could they cause any trouble?

For the sake of money, the waiters in the state-owned restaurant also started working obediently.

With the help of more than a dozen people, the pressure on Lou Xiaoe was suddenly much less.

Lou Xiao'e also breathed a sigh of relief.

Diagonally opposite.

At the entrance of the state-owned restaurant, Li Huaide and Xu Damao stood on tiptoe and looked towards Lou Xiaoe's restaurant.

"It's in! Great! Now it's going to be smashed. Let's see how that bitch Lou Xiaoe can keep running the shop!"

Xu Damao was extremely excited.

He waved his fists, wishing he could go up and smash Lou Xiaoe's shop to pieces.

"Da Mao, you have to use your brain for everything.

In this day and age, recklessness is useless; we need wisdom!"

Li Huaide teaches Xu Damao.

“Yes, yes.

Director Li, you are so awesome.

From now on I will follow you. If you tell me to go east, I will never go west."

Xu Damao flattered him as much as he could.

You Fengxia frowned and wanted to tell Yang Lei about this.

But Li Huaide stopped her.

You Fengxia had to find an excuse to stay.

"Mr. Li, I suddenly remembered that my mother asked me to go home. I almost forgot."

"Secretary You, you can't do personal things during working hours."

Li Huaide spoke slowly, holding a toothpick in his mouth.

"Oh."

You Fengxia could only nod in agreement.

If this excuse doesn't work, forget about any other excuses.

"Secretary You, I'll go back with you tonight.
