Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

Chapter 2513

Sha Zhu hesitated for a moment, then said, "If that's what you're saying, then we really shouldn't have stopped you."

So you mean you want to agree to his proposal?

He Yuzhu said, "Whether his proposal will work or not is not something we can decide."

However, I just heard from you that Mike said Lou Xiao'e is in trouble.

Sha Zhu hummed in agreement: "I don't know if what he said is true or false."

Could you help me find out?

If... if they really run into trouble, please help them if you can.

He Yuzhu agreed without hesitation.

"Don't worry, I'll help if I can. Don't you want to contact them?"

Sha Zhu fell silent, not saying a word.

He wanted to contact her, but he didn't have the courage. He owed Lou Xiao'e too much.

"I'm just unlucky. Everyone I'm close to has met a bad end. I'm afraid of dragging them down with me."

Sha Zhu was scared.

Because of his kindness, he was targeted by a deaf old lady, which led to He Daqing being schemed against and forced to leave Beijing.

It was because of his kindness that he was targeted by Yi Zhonghai, who tricked him into taking care of the Jia family, causing He Yushui to suffer in his childhood.

Ultimately, because of his overly kind heart, he was deceived by the people in the courtyard and helped them to seize Lou Xiao'e's family property.

The heartbroken Sha Zhu looked up and saw Xu Damao, which made him even more heartbroken.

Xu Damao was also resented by Yi Zhonghai because he was close to him, and Yi Zhonghai even ordered him to beat Xu Damao.

He Yuzhu didn't know what Sha Zhu was thinking, so he didn't say anything.

After hanging up the phone, he sighed.

He asked Sha Zhu to contact Lou Xiao'e because he also wanted to see Lou Xiao'e.

Of those old friends, very few are still alive.

He had secretly inquired about the Lin family, but he couldn't find out anything.

He didn't even know if Lin Zhijie existed in this world.

Even if he had found out, it wouldn't have been of any use, so He Yuzhu gave up.

Han Yue quietly took the account book to his colleague and handed it to him.

"what is this?"

"evidence?"

"Impressive. You've only been in the courtyard house for less than a day, and you've already found the evidence?"

Han Yue realized he had misunderstood, so he quickly explained.

"These are all the account books of the old man in the courtyard."

The text contains some records about Jin Jichuan, and also raises suspicions about the Jia family's sudden wealth.

The man glanced through the contents Han Yue had found but couldn't make heads or tails of it.

"This evidence can only prove that they know Kim Je-cheon."

It cannot be said that the Jia family was involved in espionage.

Han Yue said, "Take the ledger and check if the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology had any problems at that time."

And, didn't you see that?

How did the Jia family suddenly become rich?

You've also seen the Jia family's information; they're not particularly capable, so how did they manage to make so much money?

The man thought about it seriously and said, "It can't be said that their family has no ability."

They're quite adept at exploiting people.

Good grief, all he does is cry and play the victim.

He went from being penniless and unable to afford food to becoming a multi-millionaire.

I don't even dare to think about it.

Han Yue said, "Then don't even think about it. Do you think everyone can run into Sha Zhu?"

The man sighed regretfully: "It's true that you won't meet someone like that. I've seen plenty of fools, but someone as foolish as Sha Zhu is truly rare."

By the way, have you met Qin Huairu?

Is she really that attractive?

Han Yue said irritably, "What can I possibly see from an old woman?"

Aren't you following Mike?

I've never seen Qin Huairu's daughter before.

"I've seen them, but I just can't understand what kind of woman could have such great charm."

Han Yue ignored his gossipy colleague: "Stop chatting. Hurry up and send the ledgers up; I need to go back to the courtyard house too."

If I don't go back, people will easily become suspicious.

The man was taken aback: "You've been exposed? That spy named Mike figured out your identity?"

Han Yue sighed helplessly: "It's not Mike. It's Yan's two sons. They didn't learn the good stuff, but they've mastered the 'slant-handling' skill quite well."

They hated their father for being stingy, but at the same time, they learned his skill of blocking the door.

I was afraid that if I went back too late, those two would bother me.

The man was speechless.

Those who participated in the operation had naturally all read the information about the courtyard house.

They were no strangers to the people living in the courtyard house.

As Han Yue was about to leave, he suddenly remembered his earlier thought and spoke it aloud.

"That Mike wanted to get closer to He Yuzhu through cooperation."

Therefore, they secretly targeted Lou Xiao'e.

I'm thinking of turning the tables on you; you should report this idea to the leadership.

The man asked in confusion, "Why are they making things so complicated?"

According to the habits of those spies, to deal with He Yuzhu, they would either bribe him with money or seduce him with their beauty.

Why do we have to go through such a long detour?

Han Yue hadn't noticed this until a colleague pointed it out, and it did seem suspicious.

"There might be a bigger conspiracy. Report it up as soon as possible."

"understood."

Han Yue clutched his stomach and walked towards the courtyard.

As soon as he entered, he was stopped by the Yan brothers: "Where have you been?"

"I ate too much, and my stomach feels uncomfortable," Han Yue said casually.

Yan Jiefang stopped him: "Did Sha Zhu really invite you here to seize control of the restaurant?"

“Yes,” Han Yue said. “They said it’s too much trouble to ask Qin Huai for money. Every time, it’s a huge fuss.”

He was thinking of taking over the restaurant's operating rights so he wouldn't have to ask Qin Huairu for money anymore.

Yan Jiefang and his brother knew very well how difficult it was to get money from Qin Huai.

They didn't doubt this claim either.

Yan Jiekuang asked curiously, "Do you really have a way to get the restaurant's operating rights back?"

Han Yue said, "What's so difficult about that? The chefs at the restaurant are all Uncle He's apprentices and grand-apprentices."

Those people wouldn't dare disobey him, would they?

Yan Jiekuang thought he had some brilliant idea, but when he heard that this was the only method, he immediately became very disdainful.

"If his disciples and followers really listened to him, they wouldn't have worked so diligently for Qin Huairu."

Even if they were willing to listen to Sha Zhu, they still had to consider the livelihood of their families.

Aren't they afraid that Qin Huairu will fire them and find other chefs?

These days it's not like before, where you can't find a good cook.

Now you can find a cook as long as you pay.

"You're not trying to fool Sha Zhu, are you?"

Han Yue said with a smile, "They are obedient because there is no leader. If they cause trouble, they will not make any money."

I am different.

I can manage it.

They can earn more money by following me than by following the Jia family.

Do you think they would disobey Uncle He?

Yan Jiekuang was taken aback, unsure how to refute.

Sha Zhu lost his say in the restaurant because he didn't know how to run it.

Apart from the chefs, most of the restaurant's employees were recruited by Lou Xiao'e.

Lou Xiao'e was not very clear-headed when it came to dealing with Sha Zhu, but she was quite good at doing business.

Not particularly generous, but not bad either.

Compared to how Qin Huai treats its employees, this is much better.

When Lou Xiao'e left, many people voluntarily left with her.

Those people are the backbone of the restaurant. Without them, Sha Zhu simply couldn't run the restaurant.

Taking advantage of the situation, the Jia family seized all the positions in the restaurant.

The restaurant was able to keep operating thanks to them.

Sha Zhu lost his say in the restaurant and was later tied up in the courtyard by Yi Zhonghai.

The restaurant became completely part of Qin Huairu's household, and Sha Zhu could no longer interfere. (End of Chapter)
