Siheyuan: Relieve stress and relieve worries

Chapter 502: Pillars Disrupt the Situation
After He Yuzhu finished his work and returned home, he became angrier the more he thought about it. He really couldn't stand Xu Damao's arrogant look, but in the past year, he really didn't know what Xu Damao was busy with. He Yuzhu made himself two side dishes and drank some wine, but he couldn't drink any more and turned around to find Ma Hua.

When he found Ma Hua, he was directing his apprentice to work in the store. When he heard someone calling him, he turned around, ran over and asked, "Master, why are you here?"

He Yuzhu said unhappily: "Why can't I come over? Why are you not welcome?"

When Ma Hua heard this, he knew that his master was in a bad mood today, so he immediately said with a playful smile: "How dare I? I wish I could serve you every day, but you won't let me."

Ma Hua's disciples were all shocked. They didn't expect their master to have such a side. At this time, He Yuzhu said, "Come on, let's go outside. I have something to tell you."

Ma Hua was just about to follow the master out when he realized that the kitchen was very quiet. Turning around, he saw everyone in the kitchen looking at him. Ma Hua shouted, "What are you looking at? Get back to work." Then he turned around and chased after the master.

In a private room, Ma Hua stood there pouring tea for He Yuzhu. He Yuzhu smoked a cigarette and said, "Ma Hua, do you know what Xu Damao is doing?"

Ma Hua sat down next to He Yuzhu and said, "Master, I actually know that he has opened three real estate agencies, and I heard that he is about to open a fourth one. Just two days ago, he brought his men here to eat. I am not familiar with him, so I ignored him. I heard it from the lobby manager."

He Yuzhu was very satisfied with Ma Hua's attitude towards Xu Damao, and then said: "Well, how about you help me find out what else he did, the more specific the better, okay?"

"Okay, it's just a small matter, you can just give me a phone call, why come here in person?" Ma Hua said.

He Yuzhu said, "I had a few words with that horse-faced guy today. I couldn't stay at home, so I took a walk. Now, get busy. The sooner this is done, the better."

He Yuzhu walked out of the hotel with his hands behind his back. This was the first store he opened and he had feelings for it, otherwise he would not have allowed his eldest apprentice to be in charge here.

He Yuzhu returned home and continued drinking, thinking about Xu Damao. After thinking it over, he felt that he could not put all his hopes on his apprentice. He had to go and see what Xu Damao was doing tomorrow.

At this time, Xu Damao was bragging to his wife and children, saying that he had taken on a secret public security mission and that he also wanted to make a contribution. Although Guilan knew that her husband was always bragging, she still believed her husband in this matter, so she went to the kitchen and cooked two delicious dishes to reward her husband.

Xu Damao was extremely happy. The respect and support he received at home made him a role model of positive progress outside, which made him very satisfied.

The original plan was to have Xu Damao dress up as a wealthy man and go to Liulichang to make himself familiar, especially to the street vendors, and go up to each one to take a look. Then the stall owner dressed as the investigator would perform a double act with him, portraying Xu Damao as a person who doesn't know the goods and is a fool with a lot of money. Finally, he would go to the stall of one of the gang members to be arrested and take the initiative to hook up. The investigator would then follow the clues to find out who are the members of the gang, and then proceed to the next step of arresting them.

The plan went awry on the first day. As planned, Xu Damao put on his Pierre Cardin suit, a big gold chain, and a cell phone the next day, and drove the Mercedes-Benz provided by the police and headed straight to Liulichang.

But what he didn't know was that a man wearing sunglasses driving a Lada was quietly following him behind him. That man was He Yuzhu. Xu Damao wandered back and forth in Liulichang as planned, with a big bag under his arm. As agreed, he came to a small stall where investigators put on makeup.

You know what, Xu Damao really has a talent for being an actor. He picked up this, looked at it, then put it down, picked up that, looked at it, and then put it down again. At this time, he saw a bronze Buddha statue, looked at it for a long time and asked, "Brother, how much is this?"

The man also stretched out a sleeve in a very formal manner. This is the rule here, and the price is negotiated secretly. Xu Damao actually knew it, but he wanted to portray a rich man who was stupid and had a lot of money and knew nothing, so he shouted directly: "I'm not buying a sleeve, why are you giving it to me? I'm asking you, how much is this?"

The stall owner secretly admired Xu Damao's acting skills. With just this shout, a bunch of people gathered around, including the cheating hawker. The stall owner said, "It seems that this is your first time here, and you don't know the rules here. Well, then I will just bid directly, five thousand." Everyone saw the Buddha statue, which was a replica. Several stalls were selling it, and the most expensive one was only thirty or fifty yuan. They didn't expect the stall owner to ask for such a high price. But the place has its own rules, and they knew it. They couldn't make trouble, so they just stood there looking at Xu Damao to see how he would bargain.

Xu Damao fiddled with it in his hand and said, "It's a bit expensive. How about this, four thousand. I'll take it."

The stall owner seemed to be in a dilemma and said, "You've already marked out a thousand dollars. How about this, I don't want five thousand, and you don't want four thousand, how about four and a half thousand?"

Some of the onlookers understood, while others didn't. But no matter whether they understood or not, they all knew that this thing was not worth so much money. Xu Damao was about to open his mouth to agree when he heard someone interrupt and say, "Brother, think about it carefully."

The investigator looked in the direction of the voice and was delighted to find that the person who spoke was the swindler vendor, but with an angry look on his face. He turned around and said, "Are there any rules? This is Liulichang." The other people nearby also looked at the vendor angrily. When the vendor saw that he had angered everyone, he immediately backed away.

Xu Damao paid the money happily and said, "Okay, why make things difficult for me? I want the Buddha statue." After that, he opened the bag he was holding and counted out four thousand five and gave it to the investigator and the stall owner.

Xu Damao continued to shop with the Buddha statue box in his hand. At this time, the vendor came over and asked, "Brother, you really spent too much."

Xu Damao smiled and said, "It's okay, brother. I just want money. I just like these things. But thank you."

The vendor looked around and saw that no one was paying attention, so he said, "Brother, I have a few pieces of porcelain from the official kiln. Do you want them? They are all left by the old people."

"Really? If it's true, I'll take it. I have a lot of money. Where is it?" Xu Damao asked in surprise.

The vendor said, "I'll take you there. Come on, it's in the alley over there."

"Wait a minute, I also want to see if it's possible. I have as much money as him." Suddenly a voice came from behind the vendor, which scared the vendor.

Xu Damao was sweating coldly. He looked up and saw that it was He Yuzhu wearing sunglasses. Xu Damao was so angry that his teeth were itching. This liar took the bait immediately. Why did he jump out? But Xu Damao reacted quickly and said, "Who are you? We are brothers. What does it have to do with you if it's between brothers?"

When He Yuzhu heard Xu Damao pretending not to know him, he immediately realized that this old man was doing a task, but then he thought, if you can do it, so can I, so he said, "It's none of your business, as long as the goods are good, I'll take them all. Brother, let me go and see them too, okay?" As he said that, he turned around and looked at the vendor.

The vendor was shocked at first, but after hearing what He Yuzhu said, he knew that this was another sucker. That was good, there were two suckers, and he would make money no matter who he sold to. So he nodded and said, "Okay, just a few pieces, you guys take a look, and we agreed that I will sell to whoever pays the most."

The peddler led the two men to the alley. The investigators nearby were all dumbfounded. What was going on? Was he an accomplice of the peddler or a real buyer? At this time, one of the investigators' phones rang. When he picked up the phone, he heard Yan Jiefang's exasperated voice, saying, "That's Xu Damao's neighbor. We've been teasing him since childhood. Let's wait and see what happens. If things go wrong, call Xu Damao and ask him to evacuate first."

At this time, Xu Damao didn't dare to make any unnecessary movements, because he didn't know if any of the hawker's accomplices were watching them. He could only go on with his performance. He Yuzhu wore sunglasses and looked arrogant, looking very stylish. However, he himself didn't know how many people wanted to pin him to the ground and beat him up.
