Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

Chapter 83: Digging Another Hole

At two o'clock in the afternoon, there were fewer guests coming to Emei Hotel for dinner, so the people in the kitchen were able to take a break.

Wu Bangming called Sha Zhu and Tang Jianze together to comment on their cooking. There were criticisms and praises. Wu Bangming did not discriminate. Both of them listened to Wu Bangming's comments obediently.

In the previous life, Wu Bangming also treated Sha Zhu in the same way. At that time, Sha Zhu's cooking skills were not good and he received a lot of criticism. At that time, he did not dare to argue with the chef, and went back to the courtyard to tell the deaf old lady and Yi Zhonghai.

Those two people were not good people. They said that Wu Bangming was doing this for his own good, while trying to provoke Sha Zhu's patience. As time went by, Sha Zhu became more and more dissatisfied with Wu Bangming. When he had almost learned the cooking skills, the deaf old lady and Yi Zhonghai tricked Sha Zhu into leaving Emei Hotel and working in the steel mill.

At that time, Yi Zhonghai said it well. With his face, Sha Zhu only needed to work as an apprentice for three months to become the head chef of the steel mill.

This temptation was very great for Sha Zhu, who owed a lot of favors and was short of money. After a conflict, Sha Zhu went to the steel mill to report without saying a word, completely losing Wu Bangming's face.

After Wu Bangming finished his comments, he said to Sha Zhu, "You should buy a bicycle. It will be more convenient for you to travel back and forth. If you don't have enough money, I can lend it to you."

He said these on purpose in front of Tang Jianze, probably because he didn't want the two brothers to have any grudges against each other.

This had never happened in the previous life. It might be because that Sha Zhu was rash and threw He Yushui directly into the yard.

Tang Jianze also knew about Sha Zhu's situation and advised, "Master is right. You are running back and forth in the rain every day. It is really too hard."

Sha Zhu smiled and said, "Master, there is no rush for the bicycle. I have something else I want to ask of you."

"What's the matter?" they asked curiously.

Sha Zhu said, "I just want to borrow the master's name. Didn't I buy the house with my father's money? I want to clean it up in a few days. The group of people in our courtyard are all hating others for having and laughing at others for not having.

They are now waiting for me to spend all the money and laugh at me when I can’t make ends meet.”

Tang Jianze said disdainfully: "Your current salary is over 400,000 yuan. How many of them can compare to you? What qualifications do they have to laugh at you?"

Sha Zhu said, "Isn't this the situation I'm in here? I never told them about it. They still think I'm an apprentice like before."

Tang Jianze suddenly laughed: "What kind of people are there in your courtyard? You can also say that I lent it to you."

What else could it be? A beast.

They have done all the evil things that ordinary people are capable of.

Wu Bangming asked: "What does this have to do with you buying a bicycle?"

Of course it was to trick Yi Zhonghai.

Soon, Jia Dongxu would plant white lotus in the courtyard. Not to mention how much trouble he would cause if he bought a bicycle, just bringing white lotus to the courtyard would make him sick to death.

He wanted to buy it after Yi Zhonghai bought a sewing machine for Jia Dongxu. At that time, he said that it was a gift from his master and he didn't want to return it.

At that time, Yi Zhonghai must have had a very happy look on his face as he asked to lend money to Jia Dongxu to buy a sewing machine.

This is not the point.

The point is, Sha Zhu's master can give Sha Zhu a bicycle for free. As Jia Dongxu's master, can Yi Zhonghai not give him a bicycle?

Yi Zhonghai helped Jia Dongxu buy a sewing machine, and he felt pain for several days. How could he buy a sewing machine for Jia Dongxu? He himself was reluctant to buy one.

Don’t say anything about buying a sewing machine for the Jia family.

Jia Zhang would never admit this. She had always wanted to find a city wife for her son, so that both the Jia family members could work and live a wonderful life. Jia Zhang looked down on Qin Huairu, and without Yi Zhonghai, the sewing machine, she would never give in.

At that time, Jia Zhang will be forcing him from behind and Jia Dongxu will be begging him from the front. Let's see how he can break the deadlock.

Of course, given Yi Zhonghai's personality, he would never buy a bicycle for Jia Dongxu. After all, Jia Zhang was Jia Dongxu's biological mother, and her influence on him was stronger than Yi Zhonghai's.

If Yi Zhonghai wants to compete for Jia Dongxu, he must seize the opportunity to fool Jia Dongxu. Every day on the way home from get off work is an important time for him to fool Jia Dongxu.

He wished the road from the courtyard to the steel mill was longer, as it would be impossible for Jia Dongxu to ride a bicycle.

These things haven't happened yet, so Sha Zhu can't say it now: "I don't want to get into trouble recently because of the bicycle. I will buy a bicycle after my father's departure is over."

Wu Bangming did not force it, and said, "Okay then. When the weather is bad, you and Yu Shui can stay at our house."

Sha Zhu thanked him: "Master, I understand."

Tang Jianze patted Sha Zhu on the shoulder and said, "If you encounter any trouble, be sure to tell us. Don't carry it alone."

Shazhu nodded.

In his previous life, Sha Zhu and Tang Jianze did not have a good relationship. After Tang Jianze learned that He Daqing had left, he even mocked Sha Zhu.

My bad breath has really offended too many people.

Soon the guests left and the kitchen helpers started to work. Sha Zhu was already at the stove and didn't need to do any of this. He and the other kitchen helpers went outside to rest.

Manager Zhao came over with a smile. The business of Emei Hotel was very good during this period, so it was no surprise that he was so happy.

"Zhu Zi, your cooking skills have improved a lot recently. Several regular customers have specifically requested your cooking."

Sha Zhu smiled and said, "It's my honor."

Manager Zhao smiled and said, "Do a good job. I heard that you usually have to take care of your sister, which is quite inconvenient. Now that the weather is warm, it's okay. It will be difficult when it gets cold. I have someone clean up a small room. You can live here with your sister."

Sha Zhu quickly stood up and thanked him.

Manager Zhao actually thought of this, and Sha Zhu was very touched. No wonder Wu Bangming worked in Emei Hotel all his life and never mentioned leaving.

At the steel mill, Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong both started to make trouble, and people in several nearby yards began to suffer. The workload increased, and they were assigned to heavy and dangerous positions.

Those people went to the workshop director and asked why.

The workshop director would not say anything, but someone would tell them: "You have offended Master Yi and Master Liu, and it is lucky that you were not fired."

Everyone looked at each other, thinking that Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong were sinister. Their yard was fine, why did they seal the door and go with you? Originally, merging with No. 95 Courtyard was nothing, the people in No. 95 Courtyard were all capable, and they would benefit from the merger.

But hasn’t the reputation of No. 95 Courtyard taken a sharp turn for the worse recently?
Especially Yi Zhonghai's rumors really made them feel uneasy. Even He Daqing was forced away by Yi Zhonghai, so they couldn't guarantee that they would be fine.

This was Xu Damao's contribution. Under his propaganda, Yi Zhonghai became a villain who plotted against the He family's property and used the beauty trap to force He Daqing away.

While everyone was still confused, Yi Zhonghai came over with Liu Haizhong. In front of them, he said to the workshop director: "Director, why are they saying that they have offended me and Lao Liu? This is a pure misunderstanding. Lao Liu and I are also doing this for the good of the factory. We want to train the factory workers, and they happen to live close to my home. We really have no problem."

The workshop director of course understood what was going on, and said, "So that's what happened. I thought they were disrespecting the master chefs in our factory."
