Comfortable life in Siheyuan

Xu Damao and his second uncle's building materials company made real money, but the good times didn't last long. Relying solely on the second uncle's favor was not a long-term solution. After a few months, the approvals that the second uncle could get became fewer and fewer, so Xu Damao began to find his own way.

That day, the second uncle came to the office of Director Lan of the Third Factory again and clearly felt the changes.

"Master, you're here! Come and sit down! I'll chat with you after I finish the things on hand!" Director Lan didn't even stand up. He just sat at his desk and started reading documents.

"Just do your thing, no need to be polite to Master!"

Liu Haizhong was also a little embarrassed. He had come here several times this month but didn't get any approval slip. Instead, Xu Damao used his connections to get a batch of steel from somewhere.

Liu Haizhong sat there for more than half an hour before Director Lan raised his head!

"Master, I'm sorry, these documents are urgent, I have to deal with them quickly!" Director Lan explained with a smile and walked to the sofa.

"It's okay, your business is more important! I can do this little thing anytime!"

Liu Haizhong felt the change in his status and identity. The way Director Lan spoke and acted was no longer the same as before.

"Master is really understanding. The factory has a lot of tasks to do during this period, and the output is seriously insufficient. I'm worried about this!" Director Lan's words implied that he was distancing himself and making excuses.

"Xiao Lan, my building materials company has just started, and I have invested all my assets in it. Please help Master again!"

When Director Lan heard the name "Xiao Lan", his brows furrowed unconsciously. He was so disgusted that he almost cursed out loud.

How could Director Lan not know what was going on in Liu Haizhong's company? He not only knew how much money Liu Haizhong made, but also knew what kind of person his master was.

"Master, you have helped me a lot in the past, and I am a person who cherishes old friendships. But I really can't give you this approval document anymore. The higher-ups are already investigating this matter strictly. If I give you another favor, both of us will have to go to jail!"

Director Lan picked up the kettle and poured a glass of water for Liu Haizhong. The glass was so full that it was about to overflow.

"Enough, enough, any more will overflow!" Liu Haizhong's hand was burned and he said hurriedly.

"Master, you see this teacup also knows that it will overflow when it is full!" Director Lan looked at Liu Haizhong with a smile, with the teapot in his hand still placed on the cup.

"Xiao Lan, is there really no other way? I..."

At this time, there were several knocks on the door. Director Lan put down the teapot, sat down at the desk, and adjusted his glasses!

"Please come in!"

"Director, the meeting will start in 10 minutes!" A man wearing glasses came in and spoke very respectfully!

"Okay, I'll be there in a minute!"

After everyone left, Liu Haizhong also stood up.

"Xiao Lan, since you are busy today, Master will leave first!" Liu Haizhong smiled reluctantly, and his words were somewhat insincere.

"Master Liu, you are so old now. It would be good for you to play chess at home and take care of the children. Don't bother yourself if you have nothing to do. Don't exhaust yourself!"

Director Lan walked up to Liu Haizhong and patted his shoulder with a smile.

"Hey! Master understands. I'll go back now!"

After Liu Haizhong left the office, the man came over again. Director Lan whispered, "Tell the security guards at the door not to let this man in again."

Liu Haizhong returned home feeling a bit depressed. He sat there alone drinking and muttering to himself that Director Lan was ungrateful and an ungrateful person. He sat there cursing for quite a while.

In the evening, Xu Damao came back a little late, still smelling of alcohol. As soon as he entered the backyard, he went to the second uncle's house first.

"Second uncle, how are you today? Did you get the approval slip back? I met a new boss tonight. He said that as long as he sees the approval slip, he will pay us directly and we don't even need to transport the goods."

Xu Damao was talking excitedly, and after a while the second uncle got as drunk as he did.

"Second Aunt, what happened to Second Uncle today? Why is he so happy and drunk?"

Xu Damao thought that the second uncle was so happy that he drank too much. The second aunt didn't know how to explain it.

"Da Mao, you've drunk quite a bit of wine. Why don't you go back first and talk about it tomorrow!" Second Aunt persuaded in a low voice.

"Okay, I'll come over tomorrow, you guys should go to bed early too!" Xu Damao staggered back home, still in high spirits. He just touched his wife Sun Xiaoyan's hands that had been working all year round, turned over and fell asleep.

The next day, Xu Damao went to bed a little late, and it was almost ten o'clock when he finished washing up.

Xu Damao took a steamed bun from the pot and ate it while walking towards his second uncle's house.

Second uncle Liu Haizhong went to bed late today, and was eating breakfast when Xu Damao came over!

"Da Mao is here, come and have something to eat together?" Liu Haizhong's smile was a little stiff. Second Aunt had told him everything about what Xu Damao wanted to talk to him about yesterday.

"That's great. My damn wife left me a steamed bun, and I almost choked when I ate it!" Xu Damao sat down with a smile, picked up the corn porridge and took a sip.

"Uncle, I found a big boss yesterday. He wants a large quantity and the price is 10% higher than the market price. We must seize the opportunity!" Xu Damao looked at Liu Haizhong and told him about yesterday's achievements.

Liu Haizhong didn't know what to say for a moment, so he just quietly lowered his head and ate his breakfast.

"Why aren't you talking? How did your visit to Director Lan go yesterday? Did you get things done?" Xu Damao asked.

Liu Haizhong was forced to do nothing, and sighed, "Hey! The relationship with Director Lan is over! This little Lan is such an ungrateful person!"

Xu Damao was so shocked by these words that his jaw almost dropped. He didn't even notice that the steamed bun in his hand had fallen onto the table.

After a long time, he raised his head and asked with red eyes: "This Director Lan is our God of Wealth. You have been the one who has been in charge of it. We are a partnership, and I only took 40%. Didn't you give away the extra 20%?"

Liu Haizhong is just a idiot, how could he understand the twists and turns here! Besides, he always felt that the relationship between him and Director Lan didn't need all those nonsense!

"Director Lan was my apprentice in the factory back then, and I sponsored him to go to college! I didn't think it was necessary to be like this between him and me!"

After hearing the fierce words from Liu Hai, Xu Damao felt a blackness in front of his eyes.

This great opportunity was ruined by this loser Liu Haizhong. His career to make money was just starting, but it was strangled. He now wanted to strangle Liu Haizhong to death.

"You are a loser. You have such a good relationship. If you keep making connections, it will be a long-term way to make money. How much have we earned in this period of time? You are so stingy and only know how to eat for yourself.

You still want to get rich? What a pipe dream! I will withdraw all the money in a moment, and you can leave this crappy company to yourself!"

Xu Damao now wanted to throw the bowl of corn porridge in his hand onto his forehead. He couldn’t use his brain anyway!
