Siheyuan: Starting from the Old Society

He had to find a way to strike first and teach Xu Damao a lesson, letting him know that he was not someone to be trifled with!

Sha Zhu's eyes rolled and he immediately had an idea.

He decided to find the factory leaders and expose Xu Damao’s “crimes”!

......

The next morning, Sha Zhu found the factory director's office.

"Director, I have something important to report to you!" he said seriously.

The factory manager was reading a document. He looked up and said impatiently, "What's the matter? Tell me."

"Director, this is about Xu Damao. He...he is corrupt and accepts bribes!"

"What?!" The factory manager stood up suddenly and looked at Sha Zhu in shock, "You...what did you say?"

Seeing this, Sha Zhu knew that his plan had succeeded, and he exaggerated the matter and told the story of how Xu Damao took advantage of his position to accept bribes.

Of course, he made all these things up and he had no evidence at all.

"Director, you must do something for us workers!" He pretended to be heartbroken.

After hearing what he said, the factory manager's face became terribly gloomy.

Although he doubted the truthfulness of Sha Zhu's words, this matter was of great importance and he had to take it seriously.

"I know about this matter. You go back first. I will investigate it thoroughly."

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Sha Zhu tactfully left the office.

As soon as he left, the factory manager picked up the phone and dialed a number.

"Hello, is this the security department? Send someone to bring Xu Damao to me immediately!"

......

At this time, Xu Damao didn't know that he had been targeted by Sha Zhu. He was walking smugly on his way to work.

Suddenly, a jeep stopped in front of him.

Two uniformed security guards jumped out of the car and pushed Xu Damao to the ground without saying a word.

"What are you doing? Let me go! I'm Xu Damao, a buyer for the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill!"

However, no matter how he struggled or shouted, no one paid any attention to him.

He was roughly stuffed into a jeep and taken back to the factory.

......

Sha Zhu hid in the distance and watched Xu Damao being taken away by the security guard, with a smug smile on his face.

Xu Damao, you are still too young to fight with me!

He didn't know that his seemingly brilliant "strategy" had actually brought him even greater trouble...

Sha Zhu stood there in a daze, as if struck by lightning. Enemies often meet on narrow roads, and he happened to run into Xu Damao here!

Xu Damao also saw Sha Zhu, and with a teasing smile on his face, he walked over slowly. He looked Sha Zhu up and down, his eyes full of contempt and ridicule.

"Hey, isn't this Shazhu from our hospital? Why, are you here at the factory to do business as well?" Xu Damao said sarcastically, with undisguised pride in his tone.

Sha Zhu gritted his teeth and said nothing. He didn't want to have a conflict with Xu Damao. He just wanted to leave this dangerous place as soon as possible.

"What's wrong? Are you mute? Weren't you very talkative before?" Seeing that Sha Zhu didn't say anything, Xu Damao became even more excited. He deliberately raised his voice to make people around them pay attention to them.

The workers passing by looked at him sideways, pointed at him, and whispered to each other. Sha Zhu felt his face burning, and he wished he could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.

"I heard that you can't make it in the institute anymore. So, you want to find a job in the factory? With your little ability, you still want to work in the factory? Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself!" Xu Damao continued to mock, his tone extremely harsh.

Sha Zhu couldn't bear it any longer, he raised his head suddenly and glared at Xu Damao: "Xu Damao, don't go too far!"

"Hey, you dare to glare at me? What, you want to fight? Come on, who's afraid of who!" Xu Damao said, rolling up his sleeves, looking ready to fight.

Sha Zhu was so angry that he was shaking all over. He clenched his fists and really wanted to punch Xu Damao in the hateful face.

"What's the matter, Shazhu? You want to hit me? Come on, hit me here!" Xu Damao pointed at his own face and said arrogantly.

At this moment, a clear female voice sounded: "Stop! What are you doing?!"

Sha Zhu and Xu Damao turned around at the same time and saw a heroic female soldier in green military uniform standing behind them, her brows furrowed and her eyes full of anger.

This female soldier was none other than one of the girls who had followed Xu Damao before.

As soon as Xu Damao saw the female soldier, his original arrogance disappeared without a trace. He put on a flattering smile on his face and said with a nod: "Xiao Li, why are you here? I... I was just joking with Sha Zhu!"

"Are you kidding?!" The female soldier named Xiaoli raised her eyebrows and shouted angrily, "I think you are just bullying me! Who do you think you are? How dare you act wildly in the factory?!"

Xu Damao was scolded to death, but he didn't dare to refute a word. He could only smile and explain humbly: "Xiao Li, you misunderstood, I..."

"Misunderstanding? I saw you touching Shazhu with my own eyes, and you still want to quibble?" Xiaoli interrupted him mercilessly.

"I..." Xu Damao was speechless.

Xiaoli no longer paid attention to Xu Damao. She turned around and looked at Sha Zhu. She looked him up and down and asked, "Are you Sha Zhu?"

Sha Zhu was stunned for a moment and nodded subconsciously.

Xiaoli looked up and down at Shazhu, and a barely perceptible hint of...admiration flashed across her eyes?

Sha Zhu looked at Xu Damao in a suit and tie in front of him, and was a little dazed for a moment. How come this guy has been reborn after being away for a few years?

"Hey, isn't this Shazhu? After not seeing you for a few years, you're still so... simple!" Xu Damao said with a forced smile, but his eyes seemed to be looking at the garbage on the ground.

Sha Zhu was already furious, and Xu Damao's words ignited his anger even more: "Xu Damao, stop being so sarcastic! What are you doing back here?"

Xu Damao smiled contemptuously, adjusted the tie on his suit, and said slowly: "Is it not okay for me to come back and take a look? I have lived in this courtyard for more than 20 years!" As he spoke, he deliberately glanced in the direction of Qin Huairu.

Qin Huairu felt Xu Damao's gaze and subconsciously stepped back and hid behind Jia Zhang.

"Stop pretending here! If you don't have any bad intentions, would I believe you?" Sha Zhu didn't believe Xu Damao's nonsense. This guy used to like bullying people in the yard. Now that he's rich, he's going to bully him, right?

"Shazhu, what you said is wrong. I, Xu Damao, am now a purchasing agent for the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill. My monthly salary is more than what you earn in a year. Is it worth it for me to be against you?" Xu Damao had a proud look on his face and his tone was full of boasting.

"You!" Sha Zhu was choked and speechless, his face flushed red.

"Brother, don't be angry..." He Yushui pulled the corner of Sha Zhu's clothes, signaling him not to be impulsive.

Xu Damao felt happy when he saw Sha Zhu's frustrated look. He was about to make a few more sarcastic remarks when suddenly, his eyes fell on a figure behind Sha Zhu.

"Oh, isn't this Sister Yushui? I haven't seen you for a few years. You are getting more and more beautiful!" Xu Damao's eyes lit up and his tone instantly became frivolous.

He walked a few steps to He Yushui, looked her up and down, his eyes full of undisguised desire.

He Yushui felt uncomfortable when Xu Damao looked at her. She subconsciously took a step back and hid behind Sha Zhu.

"Xu Damao, you..." Sha Zhu was about to get angry but was pushed away by Xu Damao.

"Get out of the way!" Xu Damao grabbed He Yushui's arm and pulled hard, trying to pull her to his side.

"Let me go!" He Yushui screamed and struggled desperately.

"No woman I like can escape!" Xu Damao grinned grimly and exerted even more force with his hands.

"Stop!" Seeing this, Sha Zhu became furious and punched Xu Damao in the face.

"boom!"

With a dull thud, Sha Zhu's fist hit Xu Damao's face hard.

Xu Damao staggered after being hit, let go of He Yushui, and took a few steps back while covering his nose.

"You dare to hit me?" He looked at Sha Zhu in disbelief, blood from his nose flowing down between his fingers.

"I'm going to hit you!" Sha Zhu roared, rushed forward and punched and kicked Xu Damao again.

"Ah! Stop hitting me! Stop hitting me!" Xu Damao held his head, rolled on the ground and wailed.

Everyone around was stunned by this sudden change. They stood there in a daze, not knowing what to do.

"Sha Zhu, are you crazy! How dare you hit buyer Xu!" Yan Bugui was the first to react and rushed forward to pull Sha Zhu away.

"Get out of here!" Sha Zhu pushed Yan Bugui away and continued to punch and kick Xu Damao.

"Stop! Stop it all!"

Just then, an angry shout came from outside the crowd.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw an old man named Yi Zhonghai walking towards them with a dark face.

Sha Zhu thought to himself, what you fear is bound to come true!

He steeled himself and smiled: "Hey, isn't this Damao? I haven't seen you for a few years. You've become richer!"

Xu Damao looked Sha Zhu up and down, with a scornful smile on his face: "Hey, isn't this Sha Zhu, the chef in our courtyard? Why are you still wearing these tattered clothes? I remember you said that when I became rich, you would clean the toilet for me for three months. Why don't you keep your promise?"

There was a burst of laughter all around.

Sha Zhu's face flushed red, he suppressed his anger and said with a smile: "Da Mao, please stop joking with me, I just... haven't found a chance to clean the toilet yet?"

"Opportunities? There are plenty of opportunities. It depends on whether you are aware of it!" Xu Damao said, taking out a banknote from his pocket and patting it on Sha Zhu's chest. "Take it and buy me a pack of cigarettes. The best ones!"

Sha Zhu looked down and saw that it was actually a ten-dollar bill!

These days, the average worker only earns more than 30 yuan a month, and 10 yuan can buy two packs of good cigarettes!

Xu Damao was deliberately humiliating him!

Sha Zhu clenched his fists, wishing he could punch Xu Damao’s smug face.

"Why, you don't want to?" Xu Damao looked at him provocatively. "That's right, you are the chef of the factory now, how can you do such a menial thing?"
