Comfortable life in Siheyuan

"Brother Li, do you know who owns this Shabu Shabu House?"

Li Huaide didn't pay much attention and asked casually: "Who is it? Do I know him?"

"You must know him! He is the former Section Chief Liu of the Technical Department of the Steel Rolling Mill, Liu Qingshan. He opened several shabu-shabu restaurants in this city!" Xu Damao said excitedly.

"Chief Liu, is he not working in the factory now?" Li Huaide's hand holding the chopsticks paused for a moment, then he asked pretending to be indifferent.

You Fengxia, who was standing by, also pricked up her ears, wanting to know more carefully.

"He hasn't worked in the steel mill for a long time. He went to the Iron and Steel Institute to teach and do research. He has been there for many years. But his business is getting bigger and bigger." Xu Damao's face was full of sighs, and his envy was almost overflowing!

"Are all his stores doing so well?" You Fengxia asked with a curious look on her face.

"That's right, business in his stores is pretty good. Where is Miss You from? Your accent doesn't sound like ours!" When Xu Damao saw You Fengxia talking, he simply turned around and started chatting with her.

"I'm from the south. I accompanied Boss Li back to find another partner." You Fengxia turned her head and smiled at Xu Damao.

"How about a partner? Do you think I'm suitable? Your brother Xu likes to do business with others the most." Xu Damao was a little drunk, and his words became more and more blunt.

"We can talk about the partnership matter later at another time. We've finished our meal today, so we'll leave first." Li Huaide put down his chopsticks and left with You Fengxia.

Xu Damao looked at You Fengxia's back with a lewd smile on his face.

Li Huaide went to the counter, but his eyes were looking around. He also saw Qin Huairu coming in to serve the dishes. However, looking at the old and ugly Qin Huairu, he pretended not to know her.

"I'll pay the bill. I'll pay the bill. Don't be polite with me, Brother Li." Xu Damao ran down from upstairs quickly and leaned next to You Fengxia naturally.

You Fengxia frowned unconsciously, then put on a smiling face.

"That's embarrassing. I'm eating by myself, how can I let you pay the bill?" Just as Li Huaide finished speaking, You Fengxia took out her wallet.

Seeing this, Xu Damao took action directly.

He reached out and pressed down on You Fengxia's hand, preventing her from taking the money out of her wallet.

"Qingshan, this table is mine, you can't take their money!"

Originally Liu Qingshan wanted to pretend that he knew nothing about it, but now he was pulled out by Xu Damao to be a shield.

"Brother Liu is here too? I am Li Huaide. It has been more than ten years since we last saw each other in the island city." Li Huaide's eyes lit up instantly when he saw Liu Qingshan sitting next to him.

"Deputy Director Li, have you been transferred back?" Liu Qingshan asked knowingly.

"I have been out of the system for a long time. Now I am my own boss and run a small business." Li Huaide said with a smile.

"It's good this way. I can be my own boss and have more freedom in terms of time." Liu Qingshan didn't say much and didn't want to have a deep conversation with him.

"Yes, I have worked in the factory for a long time, so I want to do something that I want to do."

"You've got what you wanted!"

"Okay, it's getting late. I have to send my partner back. I'll talk to you next time when I'm free."

Li Huaide was not in a hurry. He knew that this was their first meeting and they couldn't talk too deeply, so he took You Fengxia away first.

Xu Damao stood at the door, his eyes still fixed on You Fengxia's back.

The Liu family members couldn't help but look down on Xu Damao for his stupid behavior.

Liu Qingshan returned to the table and sat down, ready to continue eating.

Xu Damao sat down again at this time.

"Why don't you go back?" Liu Qingshan joked with a smile.

"Why are you in such a hurry? It's a rare opportunity for me to run into you guys, so I came over to chat with you!" Xu Damao dragged the stool towards Liu Qingshan.

"What were you talking about just now?" Liu Qingshan asked curiously.

"We didn't talk about anything, just asked Li Huaide what he was doing now. Oh, by the way! He also asked about Sha Zhu, and he still talks about Sha Zhu's craftsmanship."

Li Huaide is indeed a foodie, and he always thinks about his hobby wherever he goes.

"This is the only hobby he has!" Liu Qingshan said with a smile.

"What business is he doing now?" Liu's father, who was sitting opposite, also asked.

"I don't understand either. The woman just now was in partnership with him. She said they were dealing in some supplies, but I don't know the details."

Xu Damao hadn't discussed this issue with anyone yet, and when he said he wanted to form a partnership, it was all about the woman.

"You said you talked for a long time but didn't get anything out of me?" Liu Qingshan was speechless. Xu Damao's brain must be full of sponges.

"I've already drunk quite a bit of wine, so I don't have time to worry about that!"

Qin Huairu walked behind Xu Damao at some point and poured him a glass of water in a teacup.

Xu Damao didn't see who the person was, and his mouth was dry, so he picked up the teacup and took a big sip.

"Cough! Cough cough!" Xu Damao started coughing as soon as he drank the liquid.

Liu Qingshan looked at Qin Huairu who was hiding aside, and he understood what was going on.

There must be something fishy about the cup of tea that Qin Huairu brought to Xu Damao.

"It's so salty, who is it? Pour a glass of salt water." Xu Damao turned around and saw Qin Huairu who was in a leisurely mood.

"I wondered who it was! What's wrong with Sister Qin? She poured me a glass of salt water for no reason. What does that mean?" Xu Damao looked at Qin Huairu with a smile.

"Aren't I just helping you sober up? Don't be polite with Sister Qin!" Qin Huairu said this and went to the kitchen to help serve the dishes, ignoring him directly.

Seeing this, Xu Damao also felt a little bored, so he chatted for a while and then left.

As soon as Li Huaide and You Fengxia arrived at the hotel, they sat down on the bed.

"What's the situation with Xu Damao? What are his conditions?" You Fengxia asked after thinking for a while.

"He should have some money! I'm not familiar with him, so I'll find two people to help me get some information these days!" Li Huaide said with a smile!

"Okay, let's just leave it at that! Xu Damao is easy to deal with. He's obviously a sex-hungry ghost. When the time comes, I'll give him some advice and there will be basically no problem."

When You Fengxia mentioned Xu Damao, her eyes were full of contempt, and it was obvious that she did not take this man seriously.

"Well! This guy is so deceptive! I'm now thinking about that Liu Qingshan. This guy owns several restaurants and should have quite a bit of wealth. Such a person is suitable for either partnership or taking the blame." Li Huaide looked at the window with deep eyes and said lightly.

"If it's hard to deal with, just deal with it slowly. We are also in a hurry for now."

Liu Qingshan didn't know at this time that he had been targeted.
