Get something in the courtyard

Sha Zhu was able to leave in style, but Yi Zhonghai was at a loss.

If Banggeng could work in a steel mill, he would have done it long ago and would not be still hanging around outside.

As for Yan Jiecheng’s restaurant?

There is no possibility at all.

His first reaction was to leave quickly to avoid this trouble.

Obviously, he was a step slow in reacting.

Qin Huairu was right beside him and immediately grabbed his sleeve: "Uncle, as long as Banggeng goes to work at Yan Jiecheng's restaurant, Shazhu will have no chance to regret it. You must help Banggeng. Banggeng is... but Dongxu's child."

But there was a deliberate pause afterwards to remind Yi Zhonghai that Banggeng's identity was not ordinary.

Yi Zhonghai stood there, stunned for a long time, and then said in an uncertain tone: "Huai Ru, let me give it a try! Yan Jiecheng will not allow your third uncle to work in the company, so it is unlikely that he will agree. Don't hold out too much hope."

He wanted to give Qin Huairu a heads-up in advance.

Qin Huairu didn't want it at all, and pretended not to hear his warning. She smiled and said, "Uncle, Banggeng and I both believe in you. If you come forward, Yan Jiecheng will definitely give you face."

Yi Zhonghai's face immediately fell, this was putting him on the fire. But he was already in a difficult situation and had to agree to Qin Huairu's request.

Qin Huairu knew that Yi Zhonghai was unhappy, so he raised the standard of today's meals to please Yi Zhonghai.

However, no matter how delicious the food was, it could not comfort Yi Zhonghai's heart.

He knew very well that the entire courtyard was out of his control since Wang Kun entered it. More and more people no longer took him, the master, seriously.

When the deaf old lady was alive, she had the advantage of age. People in the hospital did not want to be bothered by her and listened to her on the surface.

Ever since the deaf old lady passed away, he had less and less say in the courtyard.

The only chance to turn the situation around was during the earthquake, but unfortunately that opportunity was also ruined by Wang Kun.

Over the years, he usually didn't dare to target others because he was worried that no one would take him seriously.

He wanted to target people in the courtyard, that is, those he had offended. He did not dare to control everyone in the courtyard as he did before.

The Liu family's children were unfilial, so he didn't stand up for them. The Yan family's children were unfilial, so he didn't stand up for them either, all because he was afraid of being humiliated by a few people.

What will be the consequences for him when he goes against Yan Jiecheng this time?

But he couldn't say no.

He needs to rely on Banggeng for support in his old age. No matter whether Banggeng is his son or not, Banggeng is the only one he can rely on.

If Banggeng is out of work, how can he still rely on Banggeng?

No one paid attention to Yi Zhonghai's thoughts, and everyone continued to do what they were supposed to do. He Yuzhu's money-making behavior made them envious and stimulated them, and they all thought about how to make more money.

Some people thought of opening a restaurant, some thought of doing other things. In short, in everyone's heart, the collective weight of the Siheyuan was becoming less and less.

This change actually happened a long time ago, but a few people led by Yi Zhonghai never paid attention to it.

Wang Kun was also a little confused at this time.

The reform and opening up that he had been looking forward to for many years has arrived, but he doesn't know what to choose.

Should I continue on the path of organization, or jump out of organization and pursue other options?

If he chooses the path of being a staff, he has a background and a network of contacts that he has built over the years, so his future development will not be too bad. If he jumps out of the system and is free from constraints, he can also lead the trend.

There is another benefit of escaping the system, that is, more freedom. Many of the things in his hands are not allowed to be seen in public. The higher the position, the more people will pay attention to it.

Choice became the issue he thought about the most during this period.

Ran Qiuye saw that he was thinking, so she asked, "What's wrong with you recently?"

Wang Kun said: "Nothing, I'm just a little tired from work recently."

"Why does your Public Security Bureau have so many things going on?" Ran Qiuye asked with some confusion.

Wang Kun explained: "There are too many people and too few jobs. In addition, many people have become rich, and the gap between the rich and the poor has begun to widen. Many people have started to have small ideas. When you go out, you should also be careful not to let the two children run around."

Ran Qiuye nodded: "Don't worry, I will take good care of them. If you are too busy, can't you hire some people?"

"It's not that simple. We have a regular staff, unlike the factory. If the factory has more people, they can add more production lines, but we can't do that. Forget it, let's not talk about this. When Xue'er goes home, give these to her."

"what is this?"

"Foreign medical journals contain some of the most cutting-edge research from abroad. Didn't she ask for them last time? So I found them for her."

Ran Qiuye flipped through some of the magazines, all of which were foreign-language magazines, and then put them aside.

When it was time for dinner, the two did not want to cook at home, so they took their two children out to eat. They had received good grades in the exams two days ago, so Wang Kun agreed to let them go to KFC.

In the courtyard, Sha Zhu came back with a lunch box again. Seeing Yi Zhonghai and others eating in the yard, he went home straight away without even saying hello.

Several people looked at Sha Zhu's lunch box and were immediately very angry. Soon, the smell of food came from Sha Zhu's house, making them lose their appetite.

Liu Haizhong exchanged glances with the second aunt several times, and then shook his head. Their family conditions were obviously good, but they were fooled by Yi Zhonghai and had to eat noodles with Qin Huairu every day.

Qin Huairu sighed as she looked at Sha Zhu's back. If she had married Sha Zhu back then, all of Sha Zhu's lunch boxes would be hers, and Sha Zhu's salary would also be hers. Five hundred yuan a month, she wouldn't even dare to dream of that much money.

Regret.

How could she have imagined that there would really be someone who would fall in love with Sha Zhu and be willing to have a child for him?

"Uncle, Shazhu is back, and Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li will be here soon. Let's not delay any more."

Yi Zhonghai sighed, picked up the wine glass and took a sip, then said, "Old Liu, let's go find Yan Jiecheng and ask her to help Huairu."

Liu Haizhong couldn't save face, so he had to follow him to find Yan Jiecheng.

As soon as the couple entered the door, they were stopped by Yi Zhonghai: "Uncle One, Uncle Two, you are still awake."

Yi Zhonghai said with a stiff face: "Xie Cheng, Yu Li, we are all neighbors in the same courtyard. I have always emphasized that we should help each other..."

When Yan Jiecheng and his wife heard this, they knew that Yi Zhonghai was plotting against them, and they quickly said, "Uncle, we are insignificant and cannot do anything. You should save these words for Sha Zhu!"

Although Yi Zhonghai guessed it, he still felt very uncomfortable.

Qin Huairu was afraid of a quarrel, so she quickly said, "This is what happened. This morning, we went to Sha Zhu and wanted him to take Bang Geng as his apprentice. Sha Zhu agreed, but there was no place for Bang Geng to practice. So we wanted to ask if we could let Bang Geng go to your restaurant and learn cooking from Sha Zhu.

If Bang Geng can learn it, it will be good for your restaurant."

Yan Jiecheng said quickly: "No, no, we are a small business, how can we hire someone who knows nothing? If we hire Bang Geng, we will have to fire someone. This will delay our business."

Yu Li also said: "Qin Huairu, it's not that we don't want to help, we are just powerless. How about this, as long as Banggeng learns it, I will agree to let him work in our hotel?
We have to get up early, so we won’t chat with you guys anymore.” (End of this chapter)
