From Siheyuan to Hong Kong Island Tycoon

After Sha Zhu washed up at the pool in the central courtyard, he finally felt much more sober. Then he hurriedly rode his bicycle to the steel mill with Ma Hua.

After arriving at the steel mill, Sha Zhu went to the factory director's office first.

When Liu Feng saw Sha Zhu coming, he pretended to be angry and said to Sha Zhu: "You are so good, Sha Zhu. Now you dare to be late for work. It seems that I have been too indulgent to you recently."

Sha Zhu smiled and poured Liu Feng a cup of tea, then quickly apologized and said, "Director, I accidentally drank too much while having dinner with Wang Tianfeng and others last night. Please forgive me."

Liu Feng said: "Silly Zhu Shao, why are you smiling at me here? I will explain your problem later."

"The new machine was installed early this morning. I just had someone try it out. It works better than I thought."

“Not only does it take up little space, the machine is also very efficient.”

"We must thank Wang Tianfeng very much this time. If Wang Tianfeng hadn't donated so much money to us, I would probably still be worried about this matter."

"So tomorrow morning I want you to help me invite him to the factory to visit the new machines, and also invite him to have a meal in the cafeteria."

After taking a sip of tea, Sha Zhu said with a smile: "Director, leave it to me. I will bring him to the factory tomorrow."

Liu Feng nodded and said: "Logically, I should go and invite him over in person. After all, he has helped our factory so much."

"But you also know that the new machine has just started running, and I have a lot of things to do here. Please express my apologies to Wang Tianfeng on my behalf."

Sha Zhu replied: "Tianfeng is not a stingy person. If there is nothing else, I will go to the cafeteria."

After leaving the factory director's office, Sha Zhu hummed a little tune and came to the cafeteria. As soon as he opened the curtain, he saw Xu Damao standing in the kitchen, anxiously waiting for him.

Sha Zhu looked at Xu Damao in confusion and asked, "Xu Damao, why are you running to the canteen kitchen instead of staying in the Propaganda Department?"

Seeing Sha Zhu coming, Xu Damao walked over with a smile on his face and said, "Brother Zhu, I have something to talk to you about. Let's talk at the door."

After saying that, Xu Damao dragged Sha Zhu to the back door of the cafeteria, then took out a cigarette and said, "Brother Zhu, I have something to ask you."

Sha Zhu said with a look of vigilance: "You actually offered me a cigarette today. I think you must be up to something bad."

Xu Damao smiled and said: "Look, you have misunderstood me again. Even if I have bad intentions, I cannot direct them at you."

Sha Zhu took the cigarette and said, "Xu Damao, what do you want to talk to me about? You'd better tell me quickly, otherwise I will feel uneasy."

Xu Damao said: "To be honest, this is also your fault. If you hadn't gotten me drunk yesterday, I would have been able to chat with Wang Tianfeng for a few more minutes."

"Wang Tianfeng has made a fortune in Hong Kong Island. The bottle of red wine he spent on dinner yesterday cost nearly three thousand dollars, which is almost as much as my salary for half a year."

"So can you talk to Tianfeng and bring your brothers along to get rich together?"

"You also know that I'm not in good health now, and I've been taking medicine for treatment. The expenses have been getting higher and higher recently, and I can't afford it anymore."

After saying these words, Xu Damao looked at Sha Zhu with expectation, and for a moment Sha Zhu was a little at a loss.

Sha Zhu and Xu Damao are like a pair of natural enemies. They always quarrel whenever they meet. If it weren't for Wang Tianfeng, Xu Damao would never bow his head and ask Sha Zhu for help.

However, Sha Zhu did not continue to bully Xu Damao, but agreed: "Xu Damao, this is the first time since you were a child that you have come to me for help. It would be unkind if I don't agree."

"But I can't make the decision on this matter. I can take you with me when I go to Tianfeng's house next time. How you tell him then is your business."

Xu Damao let out a long sigh and thanked Sha Zhu repeatedly: "Brother Sha Zhu, I knew that you are a reliable guy and will not watch your brothers suffer."

Sha Zhu laughed and scolded: "Xu Damao, when you asked me to do something just now, you called me Brother Zhu, but now that I agreed, why do you become Sha Zhu again?"

Xu Damao: "Okay, don't worry about those little details. I have to go to work. I'll treat you to a drink later."

After get off work in the evening, Sha Zhu rode his bicycle to Wang Tianfeng's courtyard and told Wang Tianfeng about Liu Feng's invitation.

Wang Tianfeng replied: "Okay, then Jimmy and I will get up early tomorrow morning, and then we'll have breakfast together and go to the factory."

At this time in the hospital ward, Yi Zhonghai looked at the steamed buns and cornmeal porridge in front of him, and said to Widow Bai in a somewhat unhappy mood: "Guizhi, I'm injured so badly, can't you go to the market to buy a chicken and make some chicken soup for me?"

Widow Bai glanced at Yi Zhonghai lying on the hospital bed, and said with some embarrassment: "Zhonghai, wait for two more days. Zhiyong and his two brothers all returned to Baocheng this morning."

"None of them have a proper job, so I paid for their train tickets back home."

After hearing what the White Widow said, Yi Zhonghai felt his blood boiling and he almost couldn't breathe.

I just gave her my salary a few days ago, and now she is crying poor and saying she has no money. Isn't she just treating me like a fool?

It's not like he hasn't been to Baocheng before, so he knows how much three train tickets would cost.

Looking at the selfish White Widow in front of him, Yi Zhonghai felt extremely regretful. At the same time, he missed the days when he lived with Aunt Cui Xiuyun very much.

Although the couple has not had any children for so many years, Auntie has always given in to him and has the final say on all major and minor matters in the family.

But now, not only does he have to pay the full monthly salary, but he also has to serve the White Widow like her third grandson.

Yi Zhonghai sighed in his heart, finally gaining a profound understanding of what it meant to shoot oneself in the foot and what it meant to bring disaster upon oneself.

The next morning, just as Wang Tianfeng and Jimmy were about to leave, He Yushui came over, dressed up beautifully.

Just as He Yushui was about to speak, Wang Tianfeng sternly refused: "Yushui, Jimmy and I are going to the steel mill. Why are you joining in the fun? Just stay at home and accompany your sister-in-law and the others."

He Yushui pulled Wang Tianfeng's arm and said coquettishly: "Brother, I want to go for a walk with you and Jimmy. Don't worry, I will listen to you when we get to the factory."

In the end, Wang Tianfeng had no choice but to agree to He Yushui's request, and told her not to cause trouble when the time comes.

Sha Zhu arrived at the agreed breakfast stall early. What Wang Tianfeng and the other two didn't expect was that Xu Damao also came with Sha Zhu.

Xu Damao said flatteringly: "Tianfeng, Jimmy and Yushui, what do you want to eat? I will go and order for you now."

Wang Tianfeng was not polite and said directly to Xu Damao: "Thank you for your hard work, Brother Damao. Just help us get six buns and three bowls of porridge."
