From Siheyuan to Hong Kong Island Tycoon

Time passed by minute by minute, but no one saw Shazhu, Xu Damao and others.

Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui, the three managers, looked at the direction of the gate with anxious faces, and cursed Sha Zhu and Xu Damao in their hearts.

Yan Bugui narrowed his eyes and asked Liang Ladi who was sitting in the crowd: "Liang Ladi, where is your Nan Yi? Why doesn't he go home after get off work?"

"It's totally disorganized and undisciplined. You should come out and explain things to everyone."

Liang Ladi took out a handful of melon seeds from her pocket, and then said calmly: "He is a living person, how would I know where he went."

"Maybe someone invited you to dinner, or maybe you were busy working overtime. Do you think everyone is doing nothing all day like you?"

Hearing Liang Ladi's answer, Yan Bugui felt angry: "Why do you provoke her for no reason? You are really asking for trouble.

About twenty minutes later, just when Yan Bugui was about to dismiss the whole school meeting, the hearty laughter of Sha Zhu, Xu Damao and Nan Yi was heard from the gate.

"Shazhu and Nanyi, you two are so rude. I invited you two brothers to dinner with good intentions, but you ended up eating and taking things at the same time," Xu Damao said in pretended anger.

Sha Zhu scratched his head and responded with a smile: "I was wondering if you were so stingy with your salary just now. Besides, didn’t you pack one for yourself?"

The three of them quickly walked to the central courtyard, and each of them was holding a square oil-paper bag in their hands. It was obvious that it was the braised pork that the three of them had packed back.

Smelling the meaty aroma in the air, many people wiped their mouth corners unconsciously, and Jia Zhang was so greedy that her saliva was dripping all over the floor.

Seeing this, Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui looked at each other and had some ideas in mind.

Just as the two of them were about to speak, Liu Haizhong on the side spoke first: "Shazhu, Xu Damao, Nan Yi, where have you been?"

"Why did you come back at this time? Don't you know that today is the day for the whole hospital meeting? Didn't Old Yan and I notify you three families early in the morning?"

Liu Haizhong asked three questions in a row as soon as he came up. He tried to use this method to intimidate Sha Zhu and the other three.

Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui gave Liu Haizhong a thumbs up in their hearts. They didn't expect that Liu Haizhong, who had always been a fool, also knew how to take the initiative.

Facing Liu Haizhong's questioning, Xu Damao raised his wrist to glance at his watch, then said nonchalantly, "Second Uncle, Third Uncle, didn't you tell me this morning that there would be a full hospital meeting at 6:30?"

"It's only 6:25 now, and we're five minutes early."

Sha Zhu and Nan Yi on the side also followed suit: "That's right, you two managers clearly told us that the meeting would start at 6:30 pm, why is it moved forward now?"

Xu Damao pretended to be sad and said: "Oh, I understand. It turns out that the second uncle and the third uncle didn't regard us three brothers as fellow villagers at all."

"Second uncle, third uncle, even if you look down on us three brothers, you shouldn't do this. You are too immoral."

Sha Zhu also nodded and agreed: "That's right, how can you do things like this? If you don't want us to attend the whole school meeting, just say it directly. We don't have to attend anyway."

Nan Yi: "Da Mao, Zhuzi, since the second uncle and the third uncle don't like us so much, let's go back to my house and have a drink."

"It just so happens that I didn't enjoy my drink very much just now."

After hearing the three people's reply, many neighbors began to whisper: "Could it be that the second and third uncles really got the time wrong, causing us to wait for so long?"

Faced with Xu Damao and the other two's attempt to turn the tables, Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong were so angry that their faces turned red and their necks became thick.

Liu Haizhong was so angry that he couldn't even utter a complete sentence. He kept repeating: "It's not me, I didn't, I clearly did."

Yi Zhonghai glared at Liu Haizhong fiercely, then said: "Everyone stop arguing. Now that you three are back, let's hurry up and have the meeting so as not to take up everyone's time."

"As for whether the notification was given at 6 o'clock or 6:30, let's not discuss this matter anymore."

Xu Damao waved his hand and said impatiently: "Then let's hurry up and hold the meeting. I also want to know why the whole institute meeting is being held today."

Yi Zhonghai cleared his throat and then shouted in a loud voice: "Now that everyone in the institute is here, I declare the general meeting of the institute officially convened."

The sound of clapping from the birds in the yard suddenly rang out, and everyone looked at Yi Zhonghai with burning eyes.

Yi Zhonghai couldn't help but feel a little elated, as if he had suddenly returned to the glorious moment when he presided over the whole institute meeting.

Although Liu Haizhong was somewhat unwilling to see Yi Zhonghai steal the show, he could only feel helpless and furious in his heart. It was his fault that he failed to suppress those three troublemakers just now.

Yi Zhonghai cleared his throat and continued: "First of all, I would like to thank you all for taking the time to attend this hospital-wide meeting hosted by our three stewards. I am also very sorry for wasting your time for some reasons."

"As everyone knows, our compound has always been a big family of unity, friendship and mutual help. We have received awards and praises from the street office many times before."

"For so many years, I have always advocated that when one side is in trouble, all sides should support it. Only in this way can everyone overcome the difficulties together, instead of being selfish and only caring about the interests of their own family."

Having said that, Yi Zhonghai glanced at Xu Damao, Sha Zhu and Nan Yi intentionally or unintentionally, the deep meaning of which was self-evident.

Sha Zhu also understood Yi Zhonghai's eyes, and was so angry that he was about to stand up and argue with him, but was stopped by Xu Damao who was quick-eyed and quick-handed.

Yi Zhonghai continued: "A very bad thing happened in our hospital some time ago. Everyone's savings were cheated away by a villain named Li Nan."

"This has caused everyone's lives to suddenly fall into unprecedented distress and difficulties."

"Of course, there are a small number of people in our hospital who were not cheated and were very lucky to escape."

"Shazhu, Xu Damao and Nan Yi, is that right?" Yi Zhonghai asked the three of them in a sarcastic tone.

Xu Damao replied with a smile: "Uncle, what you said is true, but if you say that we three brothers are lucky, we don't admit it."

"To put it bluntly, it's all because of his greed. If he wasn't greedy, how could he be deceived? Don't you agree?"

After hearing Xu Damao's question, except for Sha Zhu, Nan Yi and Liang Ladi who agreed with "yes", everyone looked at Xu Damao with gritted teeth, including Yi Zhonghai who was slumped in a chair presiding over the meeting.
