The days of being a buyer in Siheyuan

After Li Huaide had an argument with Deputy Director Zhao in a meeting, the two are now in a big quarrel. Deputy Director Zhao, relying on the claim of seeking benefits for the workers, has been making trouble for Li Huaide all day long, making Li Huaide very anxious recently.

Now Li Huaide could only use his own connections to buy a lot of things for the steel mill. For example, he used his father-in-law's connections to send people to the grassland, which is a large base for animal husbandry in the country. What's more, he was able to purchase a lot of supplies. After all, the things that were lacking there were plentiful in Sijiu City.

Originally, Li Huaide wanted Liu Minghui to take action, but Liu Minghui refused and recommended Wang Wen and Sun Dawei. They have also worked diligently in the past two years, and it is just right that Liu Minghui can promote them after they come back.

Although Li Huaide has a good reputation in the steel rolling mill, he still doesn't have a good face towards Deputy Director Zhao and is trying to squeeze him out of the steel rolling mill. The two are now fighting on equal terms.

Li Huaide is in charge of the logistics, so logically he would not be weak to him. However, the other party has the support of Director Yang, which also lays the groundwork for Li Huaide to deal with Director Yang in the future.

After having lunch at Yu's house at noon, Liu Minghui took Yu Li away. The one who was most reluctant to see them leave was Yu's mother, as she still wanted to have a good time with her grandson.

In the afternoon, the two went to Chen Xueru's store. Chen Xueru was very happy about their arrival, and her eyes revealed her love for Liu Minghui. Fortunately, there were not many people in the store today, otherwise it would have been exposed.

"I suggest you close the store and move in with us, so he doesn't have to run around all the time."

Seeing this, Yu Li said to Chen Xueru with a smile.

"It's okay. It doesn't matter whether it's closed or not. I don't have the final say in the store now."

Chen Xueru rarely objected to Yu Li's suggestion, and instead looked lonely.

Could it be that someone who is difficult to get along with has come? Liu Minghui thought silently in his heart.

I plan to have a good talk with Chen Xueru later, otherwise it would be better to sell the store as soon as possible, as I won’t get much money every year if I keep it.

You should know that Chen Xueru's store mainly sells high-end products, and ordinary people basically won't come to buy them. Only those with relatively wealthy families can afford them.

"I won't say any more. I'll take you home."

Chen Xueru had no intention of taking the two into the inner room. Instead, she took them back to her courtyard. She usually lived here alone. Ever since the enemy spy next door was arrested, the house next door is still sealed off, and the street office has no intention of renting out this courtyard.

"Your place is so big. It's a bit of a waste for one person to live here, but it's quiet at least."

It was Yu Li's first time here, and she immediately thought this small courtyard was really nice. It sounded like she was saying that the place where they lived now was too noisy.

"Why don't you move here? I remember there's a courtyard house not far away that belongs to Minghui. Didn't he tell you about it?"

Liu Minghui felt bad when he heard this, because he had bought the courtyard house from Pianerye and had not yet told Yu Li, so he hurried to explain.

"Yes, I bought a courtyard house. I forgot to tell you."

Liu Minghui gritted his teeth and explained to Yu Li that he had originally planned to keep the house and move in later, but now he was definitely not going to move in, so he didn't want to tell Yu Li.

"Humph, maybe he was planning to keep a beautiful woman in a golden house from the beginning, right?"

Yu Li looked at Liu Minghui with a dark face and squinted eyes. Yu Li was very dissatisfied with this statement and felt that Liu Minghui had deceived her.

"No way, I forgot, what a pig brain I have."

Liu Minghui hurriedly explained and persuaded Yu Li to calm down, on the condition that he would never hide anything from her again.

Chen Xueru on the side did not speak up for Liu Minghui. Instead, she smiled secretly, looking heartless.

"Enough of laughing, hurry up and pour me some tea."

After Liu Minghui finished speaking, he found a place to sit down. He had been here several times and was very familiar with the place.

"Okay, Sister Yu Li, please sit down for a while. I'll go get some water."

After a while, the three of them started chatting in the room, with Chen Xueru mainly talking, and the two of them just listening quietly.

"My store, now Fan Jinyou is the official manager, I basically have no say, and..."

Chen Xueru stopped talking halfway through her speech. Yu Li, who was listening carefully at the side, became interested and started asking questions immediately.

"And what happened? Did he bully you?"

Liu Minghui also sat up straight, wanting to hear what Chen Xueru had to say. If Fan Jinyou had any ideas, he had come to the wrong person.

No matter what, Chen Xueru is his person, and she cannot be bullied for nothing.

Seeing the two people's anxious looks, Chen Xueru felt warm inside and couldn't help but laugh.

"What are you worried about? How dare he do that? It's just that he has been pursuing me recently, and I have rejected him several times."

Chen Xueru was also very distressed. To outsiders, she was just a divorced woman. Was Fan Jinyou interested in her or was she taking advantage of him? They totally didn't understand why Chen Xueru wanted to refuse.

After hearing this, Yu Li turned her gaze to Liu Minghui, wanting to see what he would say. Liu Minghui was of course furious. Someone was actually trying to steal his girl. This was unacceptable.

However, Chen Xueru's meaning was very clear. If she didn't get married, things like this would still happen. Even if there was no Fan Jinyou, there would be others. After all, in the eyes of outsiders, marrying Chen Xueru would save him many years of hard work.

"Well, I'm already working on it. Why don't you just hand over the silk shop? You don't need that little bit of money anyway."

Liu Minghui thought about it carefully before speaking. He was mainly afraid that Fan Jinyou would use some shady tactics and that Chen Xueru would suffer.

Chen Xueru was not very satisfied with this answer. She pouted and said, "How can this be possible? This is what my father left behind. I can't just throw it away."

Liu Minghui didn't know what to say about Chen Xueru's statement. He couldn't say that he would face the same choice in five or six years.

The only way to put it is to change it.

"Then you should let him go for a few months. It's obvious that Fan Jinyou is not cut out for business. If you let him run the business alone, things will get chaotic sooner or later, and the neighborhood office will definitely replace him."

This is the true story. In the original drama, after Fan Jinyou took over as the manager of the tavern, he messed up the tavern in just a few months. Even old customers didn't want to come. In the end, it was not until the neighborhood committee found out about it and asked Xu Huizhen to step in to restore the tavern's reputation.

Liu Minghui could believe that if Chen Xueru didn't take care of him for a few months, Fan Jinyou would still destroy himself.
