Siheyuan: Struggle Begins in the 1950s

"I didn't expect to see you here, Director Li. I knew it was you from a distance."

Xu Damao quickly stepped forward and shook hands with Li Huaide.

"Hey, I'm not the head of the steel mill now. Don't call me Director Li."

Li Huaide was also a little surprised.

He hasn't been in touch with anyone he used to know since he got out of prison.

I didn't expect to meet Xu Damao when I went out for dinner today.

However, there is no conflict between him and Xu Damao.

The reason I went in wasn't because of Xu Damao.

Even at that time, Xu Damao and Cui Dake were his right-hand men.

Moreover, although Xu Damao's current clothes look unremarkable, I think he should be doing well.

"Looking at your outfit, you must be rich now, right?"

Li Huaide just smiled without explaining.

He did have some adventures.

So even though his relationship with his ex-father-in-law has been severed, he is still doing well again.

It was the woman next to Li Huaide who spoke up to explain for him:

"Director Li is now the chairman of the Crystal Trading Company."

Xu Damao had never heard of this company.

But it sounds high-end.

Xu Damao also flattered Li Huaide a few times with a fawning mentality.

Li Huaide found these words very useful.

She then introduced the woman next to her to Xu Damao.

"This is my partner, Manager You Fengxia."

Xu Damao didn't know You Fengxia.

Because when You Fengxia went to work at the steel rolling mill, Xu Damao was in prison.

After the incident with Yang Weimin, You Fengxia left the steel mill.

During this period, she went through several twists and turns and finally hooked up with Li Huaide.

After seeing the world with Li Huaide.

Her horizons were also opened.

Plus, because she is carefully dressed up, she looks very attractive.

For some reason, when Xu Damao looked at You Fengxia, Wang always felt that the girl in front of him looked very familiar.

But he immediately put the matter behind him.

As long as the other person is pretty, that's enough.

"Let me introduce myself, Xu Damao. I used to be Director Li's subordinate."

As Xu Damao spoke, he held You Fengxia's hand and touched it without leaving a trace.

You Fengxia's heart trembled, and when she looked at Xu Damao again, there was a hint of coldness in her eyes.

Li Huaide immediately invited Xu Damao to come in for dinner.

The two of them sighed when they talked about the days when they worked in the steel mill.

"By the way, Damao, why are you here too?"

"I just happened to finish a business meeting with a client and was about to go back when I ran into you. By the way, you also know the owner of this shop. He's the cook Shazhu from our steel mill."

When he heard that it was Sha Zhu, Li Huaide suddenly realized.

"I was wondering why this dish tasted so familiar, it turned out to be He Yuzhu."

At that time, He Yuzhu could be considered his full-time chef.

I didn't expect that I would have the chance to eat his cooking now.

"By the way, Director Li, what exactly does your crystal trading company do?"

Xu Damao is now trying to find ways to make money from other channels.

If I can follow Li Huaide's path, I will have one more way.

Li Huaide took the opportunity to secretly glance at Xu Damao while drinking tea, then smiled and said:

"Hey, it's not a big business. I just make some electrical appliances from abroad and sell them in China. What's up, Damao, are you interested?"

Xu Damao said with shining eyes:

"Of course. You may not know that more and more people are starting to do my rebar business. I just want to change the way to make money. If it is suitable, I still want to continue working under you, Director Li. I just don't know where you, Director Li, got this."

Li Huaide smiled proudly and said:

"Da Mao, have you heard of Galaxy Technology in Hong Kong?"

Xu Damao shook his head. He knew nothing about what was happening outside. But Wang Jianjun's wife seemed to be doing business in Hong Kong.

"It's a very big company in Hong Kong. It is said that the electrical appliances they produce are now exported overseas. I had to use a lot of connections to open a channel through the customs. Their electrical appliances are very popular in China. As long as they can be imported, they will have no problem selling them."

The more Xu Damao listened, the more surprised he became. He couldn't help but ask curiously:

"Director Li, isn't this smuggling?"

Li Huaide said with a smile:

"As long as you have connections, whether or not you are smuggling is just a matter of words. Damao, things have changed. We need to open our eyes. In this era, you can make as much money as you dare."

Li Huaide's words made Xu Damao fall into deep thought.

To be honest, Xu Damao was actually a little moved.

He is a man with a flexible bottom line.

It's not like he hasn't done something illegal before.

The only hesitation is whether Li Huaide’s project is reliable.

It would be very troublesome if you were caught selling smuggled goods.

Some time ago, Yan Da shot and executed quite a few people.

Xu Damao was also afraid that he might lose his life by accident.

Seeing Xu Damao hesitate.

Li Huaide smiled indifferently and said:

"Da Mao, actually your current rebar business is pretty good. My business is too big, I'm afraid you won't be able to make it if you get involved."

Li Huaide's words made Xu Damao make a decision.

He looked at Li Huaide and said:

"Director Li, please let me go back and think about this. I'll come back to see you in a few days."

Although Xu Damao had already decided to form a partnership with Li Huaide, the investment in this business was not small after all.

He had to go back and think about whether there were any traps waiting for him in this matter.

"Okay, there's no rush. I'm in Sijiu City now anyway. If you've made up your mind, come find me. Here's my address."

Li Huaide copied the address where he lived to Xu Damao.

Xu Damao then toasted the two of them with a glass of wine and left.

After Xu Damao left, You Fengxia immediately changed her expression and looked at Li Huaide with some dissatisfaction and said:

"This former subordinate of yours is really shameless. He just held my hand and took advantage of me. And he didn't look at me in the right way."

"Hey, he's that kind of guy. And if a man isn't shy, is he still a man?"

Li Huaide smiled and waved his hand indifferently.

Having known Xu Damao for so long, Li Huaide also knows what kind of person Xu Damao is.

"But you wouldn't really cooperate with that kind of person, would you? I don't think he is an honest person."

"Why not cooperate? He is now a successful businessman. People like him can make money for us."

Hearing this, You Fengxia's eyes lit up.

She immediately guessed what Li Huaide was thinking.

"Are you going to use the old method this time?"

Li Huaide waved his hand and said:

"Let me think about it for a moment. Although this guy is not a good person, he is very smart. It is not easy for him to be hooked by ordinary methods. If we want to catch this big fish, we fishermen have to be patient."

After hearing what Li Huaide said, You Fengxia smiled charmingly and said:

"My brother Li is really the best. Even if Xu Damao is smart, he can't escape your calculations."

Li Huaide smiled complacently.

When he looked at You Fengxia, he couldn't help but raised his eyebrows and said:

"Go get me some kidneys and whips for tonight. I tell you, the fried kidneys made by this idiot are the best."
