Siheyuan: Learning to be the sixth

"Liu Yang, what's going on? This shouldn't happen considering Yu Li's shrewdness."

"Brother Zhuzi, the bad thing is that you are too smart."

"I just found out about this. Ever since Jie Cheng and his wife came to Shanghai, they were unfamiliar with the place and were quite friendly with me at first. But later, perhaps after seeing the prosperity of the foreign land, they gradually had other ideas."

"At first, they opened a restaurant, but the chef they hired was not good enough, so the restaurant didn't last more than three months."

When He Yuzhu heard this, he thought that the chef might be his replacement. Anyway, he didn't know whether it was true or not. Many fan fictions said that his original self had cheated Yan Jiecheng and his wife.

"It seems that this is their fate."

"Brother Zhuzi, what is the robbery?"

"It's okay, Liu Yang, please continue..."

"Brother Zhuzi, where was I?"

"You said they failed to come to the restaurant..."

"Yes, after the restaurant closed down, they probably lost a lot of money, so they stopped working for a while and focused their energy on the clothing store. Brother Zhuzi said that our clothing store was well-recognized in the market, and that there would be customers as long as we opened the store in Shanghai. Later, the couple came to me and wanted to get the agency rights in several places right away. You said that I would agree if you paid according to the market price, but if you just wanted to make a profit, then I would definitely not give it to you. So gradually, their relationship with me faded."

"Liu Yang, you didn't withhold the supply of goods from his two stores, did you?"

"Brother Zhuzi, you don't know me well enough. I would never do such a shameless thing."

At some point Lou Xiaoe also arrived at the construction site. When he heard that it was about Yan Jiecheng and his wife, he pricked up his ears and listened for a while.

He Yuzhu knew that his wife's curiosity was aroused again, so he motioned for her to move a stool and sit next to him to listen, and put the receiver on the table.

"Liu Yang, what happened next?"

"Brother Zhuzi, I get angry when I talk about this. You know that the clothing industry is relatively developed in the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai areas, so after being rejected by me, the couple decided to start a new business."

"They first rented a small workshop and made some money at first, so they became more and more arrogant. Later, they even imitated our clothes and sold them privately. Brother Zhuzi, I told you last time that you said that imitation cannot be stopped. As long as they are not too excessive, it is okay to let them make some money, so I turned a blind eye."

"I never thought that two bosses would suddenly come to me today and ask me if there was a problem with our company's cooperation with those two stores. I was very puzzled at the time. Maybe the two new bosses were worried that I would not cooperate with them, so they told me the details of the whole matter."

"It turns out that after their small workshop made money, the couple gradually became more ambitious and even dared to copy a large number of foreign brands, seriously disrupting their markets in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia."

"Originally, they couldn't be blamed. Who would have thought that they would buy a whole line from the previous dealer without knowing anything about it? They didn't think twice. If they didn't have any reason, would the dealer sell it to them at such a low price? What's more, they used the most money they could afford."

"It was really unlucky for them. They happened to encounter our government discussing joining the WTO with a bunch of foreigners. They knew us well, so they picked out the couple as their target."

"They have been caught as an example. Even if the authorities want to protect them, our people can't say anything in the face of the mountains of finished products. In addition, everyone on the line insists that they are the bosses."

"So, in order not to affect the overall situation, the couple had no choice but to be fined a huge amount and prepare to sell the two flagship stores."

After hearing this, He Yuzhu understood what was going on.

"So, Yan Jiecheng came back to raise money this time, not to get rich, but just to fill a hole?"

"Brother Zhuzi, I guess that's what happened, but the couple didn't come to me. Maybe they were afraid that I would tell you. But they didn't expect that they would cash out. The owner of their store is not stupid either, so he came to me first to test the waters."

"Liu Yang, send someone to ask around. Although the couple is a little bit dishonest, Yan Jiecheng has helped me a lot in the past. Just ensure the safety of his family, and we can deal with the rest later."

"Brother Zhuzi, I know you are kind and righteous, so I secretly sent a few of our people to keep an eye on you. Even though we are liberated now, there are still gangs in the underground of Shanghai, and I am afraid that the foreigners will kill you."

"Well, Liu Yang, you are right. These foreigners are really ruthless. They say that capital is a bloody bun. You should also let our people be careful."

"Brother Zhuzi, don't worry, I know what's going on."

"Liu Yang, that's it. Call me anytime if you have anything."

After hanging up the phone, I wanted to laugh when I saw my wife listening with great interest.

"Wife, why did you decide to come to the construction site?"

"Come and see if you can do anything wrong?"

"Wife, you really know how to joke. Who would come to the construction site if their man is having an affair?"

Lou Xiaoe rolled her eyes at He Yuzhu and said, "Who knows? I heard from Sister Lu that in Tianfu, it's even less safe for men to go out on the streets than for women."

He Yuzhu: "Uh..."

"Wife, please get down to business. I feel a chill down my spine from what you're saying."

"Sister Lu, you know, her husband opened a small plastic factory and wanted to supply your Huawei. He came to me for help. I am here to ask you."

He Yuzhu never asked much about Lou Xiaoe's circle of wives. He only knew that this Lu family had some connections with food hygiene, but he didn't ask much about the specific situation of the family.

"Wife, are you very close?"

"The relationship is pretty good. The Zhenchi Dessert House was once targeted by a competitor, and it was Sister Lu's family who helped us out. Since then, we have played mahjong and drank tea together whenever we have time, and the relationship is pretty good."

He Yuzhu understood as soon as he heard it.

"Wife, since they have done us a favor, we should also have a conscience. How about this, you go back and tell Sister Lu to ask her husband to take the samples to the research center to find Lao Ren. As long as they pass the inspection, they will give us some orders."

"Okay, I'll go back and give her an answer right away. Sister Lu is still waiting in my store."

"Wife, let's have a fight tonight."

"Okay, just don't fail at the critical moment."

After He Yuzhu personally sent Lou Xiaoe out of the construction site, he put on his safety helmet and patrolled the construction site.
