Xu Damao's Thirty-Six Stratagems in Siheyuan

"Dad, the 14K gang came to the company today and voluntarily returned the hundreds of thousands of protection fees they took away."

Zeng Zixuan went home to report the matter at noon, feeling a little nervous.

"It's okay. From now on, you can decide for yourself and give the club 10,000 or 20,000 yuan as tea money every month. It's okay. Last night, I went to the club and talked to the boss Zhai for a long time. He felt that I was right. So, he may think that he was wrong before. But since they have given us face, let's give them some face. It's worth spending a little money if we can live in peace."

"Oh, oh." Zeng Zixuan was really unsure.

"Xiao Zeng, don't worry, you will be right to listen to me. Go ahead, if you have any problems, just come to me directly for help."

Boss Zhai was really scared yesterday. He couldn't explain how a person could rub a pistol into a lump of iron. How could a person cause a person's brain blood vessels to burst silently? This was simply inhuman. How could he feel at ease if he didn't take action to show his sincerity?

After Zeng Zixuan returned to the real estate company in the afternoon, she still followed Xu Damao's instructions and transferred 14 yuan in cash to the 24K club. She also took the initiative to ask the club to go to the real estate company to collect yuan in tea money every month. In particular, she emphasized that it was the boss behind the real estate company who said this. The club also accepted it with trepidation.

The Lou Wenting incident quickly disappeared from daily conversations.

However, Xu Damao still discovered the fear deep in Lou Wenting's heart.

"Xiao'e, I have something to tell you."

"Da Mao, what's the matter?"

"I've noticed these days that your daughter Wen Ting is still haunted by what happened last time. You should take the initiative to talk to her tonight. Either let her go to Huo Huo's school, or let her and her brother go to Kyoto to study. In fact, the mainland may be safer. Try to guide her. She may be traumatized by what happened a few days ago."

"Da Mao, you are really careful. But Damao, Bai Laoer suddenly died. Was it you who caused it? I heard that he had a cerebral hemorrhage at home and died."

"Ezi, you have to believe in science. The hospital has confirmed that she has a cerebral hemorrhage, and you are still rushing to take on the job. Right? Don't worry, if you have an agreement with Wenting in a few days, we will accompany her to where she wants to go."

That night, Lou Xiao'e and Lou Wenting had a good discussion. The next day, Lou Wenting took the initiative to say, "Mommy, Wenming and I will go to Kyoto together. Grandma is still there, and so is my elder sister. Please help me transfer to Kyoto."

Xu Damao really didn't expect that Lou Wenting and her brother would choose Kyoto instead of the United States. But it was fine this way, and it was very easy to arrange.

I called Hu Wanxi that night.

"Pu Ju, have you eaten? I have something to ask Wan Xi."

"Brother Mao, what are you busy with? Wan Xi is taking a shower. Is there something wrong?"

"I'm still in Hong Kong. Now, something has happened. There are two children who want to go to Kyoto to attend middle school, a 16-year-old girl and a 14-year-old boy. I want Wan Xi to arrange for them to go to their school. Is it difficult?"

"That should be possible, right?"

"Pu Ju, have you been paying attention to the relationship between Wan Xi's nephew and my daughter recently? We have known each other for half a year, but I haven't heard of any progress?"

"Hey, I really don't know about this. You have to ask Wanxi. Her family is concerned about this matter now. Wait a minute, Wanxi is coming. Wanxi, Brother Damao is calling internationally."

"Why make an international call? It costs so much. Hey, Brother Damao, you are abroad? What's the matter?"

"I'm in Hong Kong. There are two kids here who want to enroll in your school. I'll ask their older sister to sponsor some instant noodles for your school. Is that ok?"

"Ah? Xu Nian's brother and sister? There will be no problem with this little thing. You can ask the two children to bring a copy of their school records. The school is on summer vacation now, so they can come to school in late August to process their admission. I will talk to our principal tomorrow, and I promise to get this done. Don't worry about letting them come. It's best for them to practice Mandarin more during the summer vacation, otherwise there will be language barriers."

"The two kids are good at Mandarin. I'll go and handle the transfer procedures. I'll come to visit you in Kyoto in a few days. Is there anything you need me to bring? I'll bring it back for you."

"Really, Damao? Then I really want you to bring it. My son Puju wants a camera, preferably a high-end one. It's too expensive in Kyoto."

"Okay, bring him a Nikon. I think he wants to use it to take pictures of antiques. You tell him and I'll bring it to him. 7 Just ask her to give my Xu Nian a good lesson on cultural relics. I won't say much, I'll go back and find you guys."

"Is everything arranged? Damao."

"It's a small matter. You can ask Hu Wanxi or Xiaoru's sister-in-law. Wanxi is now the director of the Academic Affairs Office and has more power. I'm still thinking about finding a partner for Xu Nian and her nephew."

"Da Mao, aren't you being a little wishful about this? You didn't even ask Xu Nian if he was willing or not, and you just pushed forward."

"Xiao'e, Hu Suian is a really good guy. He has a good family background, education, good looks, and is enterprising. He has a bright future. Of course, in comparison, our Panpan is better. Haha, my daughter is definitely the best."

Xu Damao really didn't worry. At this moment, Xu Nian was still making an appointment with Hu Suian.

The two of them met by chance today. It was just a chance encounter. Fate is so strange.

They were all in a hurry to go home, so they all rode bicycles.

It was really incredible that the two of them met. They had never met before, but they ran into each other.

During the Spring Festival, Hu Suian helped Xu Nian negotiate the cooperation with the Second Kyoto Flour Factory, but they didn't contact each other again. Both of them were busy. Xu Nian also went to Shanghai during this period and set up an instant noodle factory for a short period of time. She was busy enough and had no time to contact him.

Today, I met a stranger and a familiar person around the corner.

"What a coincidence, Xu Nian, how about I treat you to a meal today? You're not in a hurry to go home, are you?"

"Uh, okay... Then I'll call home, otherwise it wouldn't be nice for Aunt Fang to wait for me for dinner."

"Okay. I'll go with you. There's a pay phone over there."

They both called home.

"Xu Nian, are you afraid of spicy food? There aren't many Cantonese dishes in Kyoto, and most of them are heavy flavors. I know there's a Hunan restaurant not far away, how about I treat you to spicy Hunan dishes today? Hunan dishes go well with beer, and the taste is pretty good."

"Well, don't make it too spicy, then just walk."

At Quyuan Restaurant, Hu Suian ordered four dishes: Dong'an chicken, baked fish with chili and black bean sauce, Hunan white loofah, Tujia bacon, a takeaway hot and sour soup, and a box of 2 bottles of Qingdao Sapphire. The two of them ate with great relish.

"Are you okay? Can you ride the bike? If not, leave the bike here and I'll take you back?"

"No problem, but I'm not familiar with the road this evening, so I'd really like to trouble you to take me to Dongsishitiao. Today is the first time I've drunk so much beer, and it tastes really good. I'll treat you again in a few days. My mother has invested in a Sichuan restaurant in Fuxingmen, and the chef there is an old neighbor of ours, and his cooking skills are also very good."

"Okay, if a beautiful girl like you invites me to dinner, I will go no matter how far away it is."

"That's settled then. Leave me your home phone number so I can call you if you need anything."

Hu Suian sent Xu Nian home before riding back to Zhuanta Hutong alone. On the way, he recalled every detail of Xu Nian's meal and couldn't help but laugh: This girl is really good, it's really worth marrying her.
