The Great Era of Siheyuan

Xu Damao and Sha Zhu had no grudges against each other. It was just some conflicts between children when they were young.

However, the deaf old lady and the three uncles took sides and spread rumors behind his back, which ruined his reputation.

Today he just heard that Sha Zhu came to work and wanted to mock him, but he didn't expect that the target of the mockery was himself, which made him very angry.

Time passed quickly, and when it was time to get off work, Xu Damao waited for a long time at the factory gate but no one showed up. Xu Damao stood in a corner near the steel mill with a gloomy face, glancing at the factory gate from time to time. The hooligans he called were hiding in the shadows not far away, rubbing their hands and waiting for Sha Zhu to appear.

Xu Damao was filled with resentment, thinking that he must make Sha Zhu suffer a great loss this time. As time passed, fewer and fewer people came, but Sha Zhu did not show up.

Xu Damao began to become anxious and restless, pacing back and forth and cursing under his breath.

"This stupid Zhu, why doesn't he come out yet?"

The thugs gradually lost their patience, and one of them said.

"Brother Mao, we've been waiting for a long time, are you coming or not?"

Xu Damao glared at him fiercely.

"What's the hurry? Wait a minute!"

After a long while, the sky gradually darkened, all the employees at the factory gate had left, but there was still no sign of Sha Zhu.

Xu Damao's face became more and more ugly, and he wondered if Sha Zhu had received some news.

Finally, Xu Damao waved his hand helplessly and said to those thugs.

"This kid is lucky. I'll retreat today and come find you next time!"

"Brother Mao, we have been waiting for more than an hour. We can't wait in vain, right?"

The thugs grumbled and complained that they had waited for so long in vain and demanded money from Xu Damao.

"Go away, do you think I can earn some money from you? Here, take it, one dollar each, don't say that I, Xu Damao, am stingy!"

After Xu Damao finished speaking, he took out some change from his pocket, gave one dollar to each of them and sent them away.

"No, this idiot must not have left! He should still be inside. No, I have to go check it out!"

Xu Damao was talking about tonight and was walking inside. As soon as he reached the door, he was stopped by someone from the security department.

"It's time to get off work, Xu Damao, what are you doing?"

"Oh~! I came to see if Shazhu had left. As you know, Shazhu was injured and couldn't move around easily. We live in the same yard, so I have to help him, right?"

After seeing the people, Xu Damao said with a smile.

"Silly Zhu? Didn't he say that he had difficulty walking and would stay in the small warehouse behind the cafeteria for the time being? I just saw him while on patrol, and you don't know about this from someone in the same courtyard?"

The person from the security department asked curiously.

"Oh~! Is that so? He didn't tell me! Never mind. Since he lives in the factory, I don't have to worry about him! You go ahead and do your work. I'll go back first."

After hearing this, Xu Damao realized that Sha Zhu had settled down in the factory, no wonder he couldn't be seen.

"Bah, you're lucky! Don't let me catch you next time, or I'll make you pay!"

The current Xu Damao has changed a lot under Li Wenqiang's teaching. If it were in the past, he would definitely not do this, but after chatting with Li Wenqiang several times, he awakened.

What a stupid Zhu and those shitty uncles, go to hell with them all. I won't offend anyone unless they offend me. But if someone offends me, I will find a chance to kill him!

Xu Damao had no choice but to go back first, but then he thought of something good. Since Sha Zhu was not here, couldn't he practice dual cultivation happily with Qin Huairu peacefully?

Thinking of this, he became excited again.

Zhu Ling was a little dazed all day today. She had been like this since she talked to Li Wenqiang. She returned home in a daze and sat in the house, wondering whether she should tell her father about this.

After waiting for a long time for her father to come back, Zhu Ling seemed to want to say something but stopped herself several times at the dinner table. Her strange behavior soon attracted the attention of her family.

"Xiaoling, what's wrong with you? Is the food not to your liking? Or are you having difficulties at work? Tell us about it!"

The mother was the first to notice that something was wrong with her daughter, and then Zhu Jianguo also noticed the situation and asked with concern.

"Your mom is right. If you have anything to say, you can tell us. Don't keep it in your heart. It will make you sick!"

"Dad, Mom, I'm not in trouble. I just don't know whether I should tell you about this. I don't know if it's true, so I'm a little confused. So, I'll just tell you this as a joke! Don't mind if I'm wrong!"

Zhu Ling said hesitantly.

"I thought it was something else! Tell me, what is it that is bothering you so much? Tell me, we are a family, and we won't blame you even if you are wrong!"

Zhu Jianguo said encouragingly, not caring at all about what she was going to say next. In his opinion, no matter what happened to his daughter, he could easily solve it.

"Well, I told you, today when I went to work, the boss said he had something that could earn 100 million US dollars a year. He knew our family was relatively well-off, so he asked me to come back and ask you if you were interested in this matter. If you were, I'd like to talk to you about it!"

Zhu Ling said embarrassedly that such a thing sounded a bit far-fetched and she was embarrassed to say it out loud because she herself didn't believe it, let alone others.

"One hundred million US dollars? Who? How shameless! How much is our country's foreign exchange reserves now? Last year, it was only 46 million US dollars. You think he can make 100 million US dollars a year? How does he plan to make it?"

After hearing this outrageous remark, Zhu Guoqiang shook his head, obviously disappointed. He thought it was something very embarrassing, but he didn't expect it to be a madman's speech.

"Ceramic squat toilet, a thing used for going to the toilet!"

Zhu Ling blushed a little when she said this. After all, this thing was a bit too embarrassing and it wouldn't sound good to say it out loud.

"Things for the toilet? Even building a toilet from start to finish costs less than a hundred dollars. How many toilets does he plan to build with 100 million dollars?"

After hearing this, Zhu Ling's mother also shook her head, saying that this thing was unreliable.

After being scolded by her parents twice in a row, Zhu Ling felt a little disappointed and spoke to her parents embarrassedly.

"I shouldn't have told you this. I also feel it's a little too unbelievable. I'm so sorry! I'll reject him tomorrow!"

"Hey~! That's not necessary. Who is your boss? What's his name? How old is he? What does he do?"

Zhu Guoqiang asked a series of questions directly. He was very curious about what someone who earns 100 million US dollars a year looks like.

"His name is Li Wenqiang. He is the buyer of the steel mill who gave our family the things last time. But he recently set up a construction team, specifically recruiting veterans. He has already recruited 30 people."

Zhu Ling did not hide anything and told everything she knew.

"Really? It's him! Isn't he in charge of purchasing? Why is he doing this again? Isn't he doing that job anymore?"

Zhu Ling's mother asked curiously.

"I don't know either, but the treatment there is pretty good now, and they even provide a meal every day at noon, which is pretty good!"

After saying this, Zhu Lin recalled the meal she had at Li Wenqiang's house at noon. It was so delicious. The vegetables were fried with peanut oil and a few drops of sesame oil. It was so luxurious.

"Next time, find a chance to bring him back for dinner so I can see what this young man looks like! I'm curious about what kind of young man can say that he makes $100 million a year."

Zhu Guoqiang is now also aroused by Li Wenqiang's curiosity.

"Okay, I'll ask him tomorrow!"

Hearing her father's agreement, Zhu Ling didn't know whether to be happy or not, but she felt a little delighted in her heart.
