Xu Damao's Thirty-Six Stratagems in Siheyuan

Xu Damao practiced at Jiufeng Mountain in Haidian for a night. The severe cold did not affect him. Instead, he felt full of spiritual energy. He went down the mountain early in the morning, had breakfast at a nearby breakfast stall, and then drove to Yancun Town.

As soon as Yun Hao saw Xu Damao, he quickly pulled him to the office.

"Da Mao, where have you been? I went to the hotel to look for you yesterday, and you said you were gone. Something big happened yesterday. The mayor was arrested, and now there are rumors flying everywhere, saying that he had affairs in the office, and that he was corrupt. Anyway, Mayor Yan was taken away by the county commission for discipline inspection yesterday, and it seems that his son was also taken away by the county public security bureau. Today, the entire town government has an investigation team stationed in to investigate."

"Ah? Oh, that's good. He fell without us doing anything, and we didn't have to worry about it. Evildoers will be punished by God. It's not that there is no retribution, it's just that the time has not come. When the time comes, everything will be repaid. This is a good thing. My brother-in-law has to treat me to a big dinner at noon today."

"Please, please, how about we go to Shidu to eat wild game today? There are many wild game delicacies there. How about that?"

"Then brother-in-law, please pay for it. Go and call your elder sister and the key members of the factory to have a meal together. We should celebrate this good thing!"

"Da Mao, this really wasn't planned by you?"

"How could that be? I didn't do anything. I went to Haidian yesterday, climbed Jiufeng Mountain and stayed there for a night. I just came down the mountain early this morning."

Yunze looked at the serious Xu Damao and shook his fingers, "Hey, you, you, it's not you. Let's go, call someone and go to Shidu. The scenery there is not bad. We can have some fun if we go early."

Two cars from Haida Factory drove out of the gate together and headed towards Shidu.

The next day, Xu Damao finally got accurate information. Yan was arrested yesterday, and the deputy county chief and Haida Company were also implicated. At noon, Yunze was called by the town committee to take a statement.

Yan Moumou's son was formally arrested on suspicion of extortion, hooliganism, involvement in organized crime and gambling.

Although there is no information about the specific figures, Xu Damao has been in the system, and he knows that Yan has completely collapsed, and it may also affect his second son in the army, who is estimated to have to be discharged from the army. Xu Damao fully knows that there is such a large amount of unknown property involved during this period, and it is definitely not enough for Yan to drink ten pots.

"Brother-in-law, elder sister, you have worked hard here, I will go back now. I have old people and young children at home, I really can't sit still."

Fang Airu knew in her heart that the events in Yancun Town must be related to Xu Damao, but Xu Damao must have his reasons for not saying anything.

"Da Mao, go back and tell Xiao Ru that my family has reserved three houses in Fengtai and the payment must be made before the end of the month. Let Xiao Ru supervise it."

"Okay, I'll definitely tell you, then I'll be back."

At noon, Xu Damao returned to his home on Dongsishitiao.

Gu Meifang was the only one at home, drinking wine by herself.

"Hey, Meifang, you look so comfortable, I haven't eaten yet?"

"Wait, I'll get you a cup and cut some pork head. Have you finished with the matter in Fangshan?"

Xu Damao poured hot water from the thermos and washed his face. Then he went to the table, pinched a piece of pork head with his fingers and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Hmm, the one from Dahongmen? It's authentic and delicious."

"You're the only one who knows how to eat. That's true. I'll go buy some braised pork elbows from Tianfuhao in a few days. The two kids from the Lou family really like them. Our Tiaotiao likes them too."

"Who doesn't like Tianfuhao's braised pork elbow? Well, buy some braised beef too, I love it."

The couple drank together until 1:30 in the afternoon, then they put away the dishes and Xu Damao went to take a warm nap on the kang.

In the evening, Xu Damao was having dinner with a group of children when Zhang Lingyun came over in a hurry.

"Second brother, have you eaten?"

"No, I'm just going to ask you for money. Sister-in-law, OK."

Gu Meifang quickly prepared a washbasin with hot water and asked Zhang Lingyun to wipe his face. Xu Damao had already filled the glass with wine.

"Come on, Damao, sister-in-law, let's have a drink together." Zhang Lingyun raised the wine glass and drank it directly. "Great." He filled the bottle with wine.

"Da Mao, my brother asked me to ask you, when will the filling line be delivered? The factory has basically finished it, and we are just waiting for the machines to arrive."

"Brother, are you feeling stressed? Want to make money quickly? Are you short of money?"

"Not really. I am full of passion and energy. Hehe, I never thought that I would run my own factory. A few years ago, I didn't even dare to think about it. I saw the spacious factory building was built, but I didn't know where to put my energy."

"Brother, I don't think you will say that in the second half of the year. You will be exhausted. After the water is filled, you will be busy running to the truck station, the dock, and the scenic spot to deliver the goods. Hurry up and learn to drive. You can also find deliverymen. Once the bottling line arrives and our Ecowater natural mineral water is on the market, you will be so busy that you can't stop. Also, the factory should buy four small trucks."

"Brother has contacted Second Automobile Works and he said three cars would be enough."

"Listen to me. Order four small trucks and a tool truck. I think the Yangcheng Peugeot is pretty good. It can carry both cargo and people. The style is nice too. Buy two, one for you and one for your brother. It will be convenient for you to discuss business and attract customers in the future."

"Da Mao, how much does this cost?"

"Money is earned, not saved. Don't worry, it's enough, spend it as you like. In the future, our Lingyun Beverage Company will be a big company, and we need to have a party. When we make money, we can buy a car."

Zhang Lingyun enjoyed the dinner to the extreme, and his vision for the future became even more enthusiastic.

Xu Damao stopped a taxi and took Zhang Lingyun back. He was drunk today and couldn't drive himself. It was really convenient to have a taxi.

In the evening, after Xu Damao finished his homework, Gu Meifang leaned against Xu Damao and asked, "Boss, don't tell me, those who have a good relationship with you will all make a fortune in the future."

"Of course, I have to. The Zhang family has also been very kind to me, especially Ling Yun. All my martial arts were taught by Ling Yun. He is actually my real senior brother who taught me martial arts. I must repay him. Otherwise, how can I feel at ease?"

“So, I am lucky.”

"Meifang, you're welcome. My Xu family, I, Xu Damao, want to thank you for my whole life. You gave birth to such a good child for my Xu family. It is my luck to meet you and marry you."

Gu Meifang was immediately excited again, "Boss, let's be good and spend the rest of our lives together. I will definitely intensify my training and strive to be with you for a few more years."

"Meifang, I'm here. We'll all live long. We'll watch our children get married, start careers, and travel around the world. We don't have to worry about the next generation anymore."

"Well, okay, I'll listen to you."

The bedroom was filled with a charming atmosphere again...

Xu Damao was really busy. The next day, after sending his children to school, he took Gu Meifang to Nanshi and Dongzhimen vegetable market, bought enough fruits, grains, rice, oil, vegetables and meat, and went to Beiqijiajia to visit the three elderly people there.

"Mom, are you comfortable living here?"

Tan Yali was very happy. "Da Mao, the air here is very good, and the living space is spacious. Your parents also take good care of me. It's very comfortable. Don't worry. When Xiao'e comes back, you can pick me up. I just miss Bo Xu a little. Are Wenting and her brother okay?"

"They are fine. Wenting and Wenming speak Beijing dialect and have fully integrated into the new environment in Kyoto. They are also doing well in school. Don't worry. If you miss them, you can call me and I will pick you up in the city, or I can bring them here."

"It's okay. Wenting and her sister are grown up now. Let them study hard and develop the ability to live independently. I can rest assured that they may return to Hong Kong or study abroad in the future."

"Don't worry, Mom. Just be at ease and take care of your health. Is the food cooked by the auntie to your taste?"

"It's fine, don't worry. Your parents and I are all good."

"I can rest assured that."
