Siheyuan: Starting from the Old Society

Time flew by like a train, and in the blink of an eye it was already three months later.

Today is a big day—an auspicious day for Amway to pay salaries!

Look at this name, it fits my name Lin Sian so well, making money quietly, safe and beautiful.

Pure British tycoon bloodline!

The atmosphere in the modern office is lively.

"Brother Lin, look at your grin, it's almost reaching your ears. Do you need to put your bonus in a sack this month?"

Hao Meili, her name suits her.

She is as beautiful as a painting, quiet yet a bit Western. With her permed hair and professional LO-style women's clothing, she looks like a fashionable white-collar worker who has traveled through time to the future!

Lin Sian glanced at her, then waved his hand and announced to his colleagues in the office:

"Okay, I'll treat you tonight. Let's meet at the Sichuan Restaurant. Twice-cooked pork is served to you!"

"Wow, Brother Lin is awesome!"

When the friends heard there was a free dinner, they jumped for joy.

Some of them even had a gleam in their eyes of "Look, this is the rich guy I just met today."

In this joyful atmosphere, discordant notes quietly arrived.

"Hey, we're going to a Sichuan restaurant for a gathering with colleagues. Brother Lin, are you being a bit stingy?"

As soon as Yao Hongwen's sarcastic voice sounded, the atmosphere in the office instantly became subtle.

"That's what I mean. We have to go to Quanjude no matter what. That's what we call having face!"

Liu Kun also joined in the fun, his little eyes rolling around and his round chin trembling. He was in his forties, but he still loved to join in the fun like a child.

Oh my god, Quanjude?! You two are so wicked!

Lin Sian was so speechless that he almost wanted to sing Zhou Xuan's "Silver Flowers Flying" to himself.

But who is our Brother Lin?

He was a man who had seen a lot of things. He still had his signature smile on his face, and was secretly thinking about how to teach these two a lesson...

There are several theories about the origin of the name "Quanjude".

One of the reasons is that the boss Yang Quanren wanted to gather people's virtues and show that he was a moral person in business. At the same time, his name also contains the word "Quan", so he named the store "Quanjude".

Another theory is that the name was chosen under the guidance of a Feng Shui master, implying auspiciousness and prosperity.

But the legend is true, sows all climb trees.

A meal at Quanjude Restaurant would cost you a month's salary. It's so painful!

Today, Lin Sian earns 60 dollars a month, plus bonuses from sales commissions, so he lives a comfortable life.

But if you go to Quanjude Restaurant for a good time, you'll have to sell everything you have, at least a hundred dollars, and the pain index will skyrocket!

Lin Sian usually gets along well with his colleagues and they are as close as a family.

But recently, Hao Meili has become closer to him.

Yao Hongwen, who failed in his pursuit of Hao Meili, felt like he had eaten a fly and was very upset with Lin Sian.

Look at Liu Kun, this old fox, a typical money-grubber and greedy person.

I heard that as soon as his brother died, he immediately took over the family property.

He not only sold his brother's wife to brothels, but even spared his eight-year-old nephew. It's simply a tragedy!

In the eyes of Lin Sian, a modern person who traveled through time and space, this kind of behavior is simply insane and intolerable!

But then again, this kind of thing was not new in the Republic of China.

It is very common in wealthy families. Everyone is used to it and doesn't think it's strange.

But Lin Sian is no pushover, and he came prepared for today's dinner.

Facing the provocation of Yao Hongwen and Liu Kun's "Quanjude Restaurant", he directly launched a "boomerang":

"Quanjude Restaurant? That's for the wealthy only. I can't afford it as a small business owner.

"Let's be economical and eat twice-cooked pork!

"If you two insist on going to Quanjude, then you have to pay for it yourself. I won't play with you."

After saying that, he snorted arrogantly. That expression was speechless!

"Lin Sian is a recognized handsome man, but I didn't expect that he is actually a stingy person in private!"

Yao Hongwen deliberately teased, trying to provoke the opponent.

"I'm just stingy, so what? What can you do to me?"

Lin Sian raised the corner of his mouth and replied nonchalantly, his eyes clearly saying "come and bite me".

"you you…"

Yao Hongwen was so angry that his face turned red and his fingers trembled, but he couldn't explain what was going on.

Now you dig a hole and jump into it yourself, admitting to biting someone? That's like a dog!

Just when Yao Hongwen was so embarrassed that he wanted to dig a hole, Hao Meili stood up at the right time:

"Brother Lin, ignore him, he just likes to make trouble." Her words were full of favoritism towards Lin Sian.

She also revealed her love for Sichuan cuisine, which was obviously an attempt to give Lin Sian a way out and also secretly convey her attitude to Yao Hongwen.

Lin Sian comes from the modern era, and her unique temperament naturally attracts the attention of women of the new era, and Hao Meili is no exception.

Her approach made Lin Sian's days in the foreign company more colorful, but also made Yao Hongwen jealous, and he confronted him everywhere.

"Did you hear that? Meili loves Sichuan cuisine. It was she who suggested this dinner. If you don't like it, you don't have to come!"

Lin Sian smiled at Yao Hongwen, with a hint of provocation in that smile, which also cleverly shut up the others.

Yao Hongwen angrily said "Who cares?" and left angrily.

Lin Sian was secretly delighted. He was just worrying that he would never have the chance to deal with you. Now look what happened. You asked for it.

As night fell, Lin Sian led his colleagues to the Sichuan Restaurant.

This time-honored brand has high-quality products and low prices, and is very popular.

Stir-fried twice-cooked pork, mapo tofu, and hotpot pork lung slices... my colleagues all started eating and raved about the dishes.

During the meal, Lin Sian found an excuse to slip out.

An avatar with a similar figure to Yao Hongwen quietly appeared out of everyone's sight.

This clone is Lin Sian's secret weapon, used to deal with various difficult situations.

He deliberately did not make his clone exactly like Yao Hongwen in order to avoid unnecessary trouble.

After all, in this day and age, anything out of the ordinary could attract unwanted attention.

The clone blinked at Lin Sian and left silently.

Lin Sian, on the other hand, was thinking about the next plan in his mind.

How to make Yao Hongwen fall flat on his face, and how to gain a firm foothold in the foreign company?

All of this will be revealed in the coming days.
