Siheyuan: Killing the gods against the will of heaven, causing great suffering to all living beings

They discussed together, constantly improved and adjusted the plan. Everyone was full of passion and expectation, and they believed that through joint efforts, the courtyard would surely usher in a better future.

...

As time went by, the cultural activities in the courtyard became more and more colorful. Well-known artists, writers and musicians came to participate, and the courtyard became a highly-regarded cultural gathering place in the city. Xu Damao and several other young people felt extremely gratified and satisfied that their efforts were recognized and appreciated.

Xu Damao has always been concerned about Ran Qiuye's safety, especially the news that she is pregnant makes him even more worried. One night, he decided to go to see her under the pretext that Ran Qiuye returned to Hong Kong for a prenatal checkup to learn about her recent situation.

He drove to where Ran Qiuye lived, feeling uneasy. He had been busy with the affairs of the courtyard for some time and had little time to care about Ran Qiuye's situation. Thinking about it now, he felt a little guilty.

There was a knock on the door, and after a moment, the door opened. Ran Qiuye stood at the door and smiled when she saw Xu Damao. "Brother Mao, you're here. What's the matter?"

Xu Damao's heart tightened. He took a deep breath and tried to stay calm. "Sister Ran, I heard that you came back for a prenatal checkup, so I came to see you and show my concern."

Ran Qiuye smiled and invited Xu Damao in. "Come in and sit down. I'm just sorting things out." She took Xu Damao to the living room and sorted out the documents on the table.

Xu Damao sat down and looked at Ran Qiuye, feeling a little complicated. "Sister Ran, is everything okay recently? How is your health?"

Ran Qiuye put down the documents in her hand and sat opposite Xu Damao. "Thank you for your concern. Everything is fine. I have had a very peaceful time recently, and there are no major problems with the prenatal checkup."

Xu Damao breathed a sigh of relief, but still said with concern: "You are here alone, is there anything you need help with? My affairs in the yard are going smoothly now, so I can help you share some of the burden."

Ran Qiuye smiled and shook his head. "Thank you, Brother Mao. Everything is fine here. My friends are taking care of me. What about you? You should be busy with the affairs in the courtyard, right?"

Xu Damao nodded. "Yes, there are more and more cultural activities in the courtyard recently. We are considering expanding the influence and attracting more people to participate."

Ran Qiuye looked at Xu Damao with a smile. "It sounds great. The atmosphere in the courtyard is always good."

Xu Damao paused, made up his mind and said, "Actually, I came to you because I have something else to discuss with you."

Ran Qiuye looked at him with a little curiosity. "What's the matter? Tell me about it."

Xu Damao looked at Ran Qiuye seriously, his tone firm. "I want to discuss with you our future. Although the development of the courtyard is good now, I think we need more planning and efforts."

Ran Qiuye was slightly startled, then nodded. "Yes, future plans are very important. Do you have any specific ideas?"

Xu Damao took a deep breath. "I want to expand the influence of the courtyard and attract more people to participate in our cultural activities. For example, I want to invite some well-known artists and cultural celebrities to perform and communicate here, so that the courtyard can become a real cultural gathering place."

After listening to this, Ran Qiuye's eyes flashed with approval. "This is a good idea. The potential of the yard has not been fully tapped. We can make it more unique and attractive through continuous efforts."

Xu Damao looked at Ran Qiuye, and a feeling of gratitude welled up in his heart. "Thank you for your support, Sister Ran. I think we can work together to develop a detailed plan and gradually promote the development of the courtyard."

Ran Qiuye smiled and nodded. "Of course, Brother Mao. We will definitely work hard to make the yard better."

They communicated together and discussed the future development direction and strategy of the courtyard. Xu Damao felt extremely relieved and grateful. He knew that he was not alone in his efforts. Ran Qiuye's support and encouragement made him more determined to move forward.

Xu Damao and Ran Qiuye worked out a detailed development plan and decided to expand the influence and popularity of the courtyard by inviting well-known artists and cultural figures and holding special events. They began to implement these plans and prepare for future cultural activities.

Meanwhile, while busy in the courtyard, Xu Damao had another matter to deal with. He received a business proposal for a Beijing project from his friend Liu Lan in Beijing. The project was about the development of a cultural and art center involving art exhibitions, music performances, and cultural exchanges.

Xu Damao's mind moved, and he realized that this project might help the development of the courtyard and bring more resources and opportunities to the courtyard. So he decided to have a detailed discussion with Liu Lan.

One day, Xu Damao and Liu Lan met in a cafe. Liu Lan is a shrewd and capable businessman who has a deep interest and experience in the field of culture and art.

"Brother Mao, long time no see! How is the development of the courtyard?" Liu Lan greeted enthusiastically.

Xu Damao smiled and said, "Brother Liu, the cultural activities in the courtyard have become more and more abundant recently, attracting a lot of attention. I want to talk to you about a proposal for a Beijing project."

Liu Lan showed interest. "Oh? Is it about the project of the cultural and arts center? I heard that you have made some progress in this regard."

Xu Damao nodded. "Yes, this project may be of great help to the development of the courtyard. I would like to hear your opinions and suggestions."

They ordered coffee and began to discuss the Beijing project in detail. Liu Lan introduced the background and potential of the project. He had a deep understanding of the cultural and art market and believed that the project was expected to cause a sensation in Beijing's cultural circle.

“Brother Mao, I think this project has great potential for development.” Liu Lan said, “We can build a unique cultural and art center in Beijing to attract more artists and cultural enthusiasts.”

Xu Damao listened with a sense of anticipation. "Yes, as an international metropolis, Beijing has huge potential in the cultural and art market. If we can successfully promote this project, it will be a great boost to the development of the courtyard."

Liu Lan continued, "I have had preliminary contact with some investors, and they are also very interested in this project. We can cooperate in development and jointly create an influential cultural and art center."

Xu Damao thought for a moment, then said: "I agree with you. I think we can further discuss the details of the cooperation and develop a feasible cooperation plan."

They discussed the details of the cooperation, including the investment scale, operation model and development strategy of the project. Xu Damao felt that this cooperation might open up a new path for the development of the courtyard and enable it to achieve greater success in the field of culture and art.

After the meeting, Xu Damao returned to the courtyard in a happy mood. He felt a new motivation and hope, and believed that through his own efforts and Liu Lan's support, the courtyard's future would be even better.

In the courtyard, he shared the results of the discussion on the Beijing project with Xiaoyun, Daming and Han Xiaodong. They showed great interest in the project and expressed their support and expectations.

"This project will definitely bring more opportunities and resources to the hospital," Xiaoyun said excitedly.

"Yes, we can further expand the influence of the institute through the Beijing project." Daming agreed.

Han Xiaodong pondered for a moment, then said: "I think this is a good opportunity. We can use this to increase the popularity of the courtyard and let more people know us."

After discussing the Beijing project with his partners at the courtyard, Xu Damao decided to further cooperate with Liu Lan to jointly promote the development of the cultural and art center. This decision filled him with expectations and motivation.

In the following days, Xu Damao and Liu Lan had intensive discussions and planning. Together, they worked out a detailed cooperation plan, including the project's investment plan, construction schedule, and art event arrangements. Liu Lan showed an excellent business acumen and a cautious attitude, which made Xu Damao full of confidence in the prospects of cooperation.

At a business meeting, Xu Damao introduced Liu Lan in detail the development history and cultural positioning of the courtyard. He hoped that through the Beijing project, the courtyard's influence would be further expanded and the courtyard would achieve greater success in the field of culture and art.

"Brother Liu, the cultural activities in the courtyard have been loved and followed by many people. We hope to create an influential cultural and art center through the Beijing project to attract more artists and cultural lovers," Xu Damao said passionately.

Liu Lan listened with a hint of appreciation in her eyes. "Brother Mao, I agree with the development of the courtyard. We can bring more resources and opportunities to the courtyard through the Beijing project."

They discussed various details of the project, including site selection, construction scale, art event planning, etc. Xu Damao admired Liu Lan's professionalism and perseverance, and he believed that through the cooperation between the two sides, this project would surely be a success.

After the meeting, Xu Damao returned to the courtyard in a happy mood. He felt a new motivation and hope, and believed that through his own efforts and Liu Lan's support, the courtyard's future would be even better.

As time went by, the progress of the Beijing project gradually made breakthroughs. Liu Lan held many talks with the investors and finally obtained the initial intention of cooperation. Xu Damao was very happy about this, and he realized that this project was of great significance to the development of the courtyard.

However, as the project progressed, Xu Damao found that the atmosphere in the courtyard began to change. Xiaoyun, Daming and Han Xiaodong seemed to have some reservations and doubts about his decision, especially about the cooperation with Liu Lan.
