I became a poor little sophora japonica in the courtyard

As the year is coming to an end, Jingyi held an annual meeting and gave the company's employees a Spring Festival holiday in advance, leaving only staff on duty in each department. The security staff on duty focused on warning fire and theft prevention!

Last year, the profits of entertainment companies began to grow. Among the three major websites, the literature website and the music website are both on the rise, while the film and television website is still in the trend of pouring money into it.

It will take at least another ten years for this video website to become popular. Let’s lay a solid foundation first!

Jingyi also felt that it was too early to develop a video website, and she was a bit too blind. It would be better to develop an instant messaging social software like Penguin, or a multimedia social platform like Weibo.

But now that the film and television website has been developed and a lot of resources have been invested in it, giving up halfway is not her style.

She was not familiar with the Internet industry, but she took advantage of the fact that she had foresight. After the New Year, she planned to hire a network expert to take charge of the website and re-plan the development of the website.

The company had given a holiday early, leaving only a few employees on duty. Xu Damao was also idle, so he borrowed a bicycle from the security guard on duty, put a few oil-paper bags and a bottle of wine in the basket, and rode towards Sanlitun.

He now lives a fulfilling life. Most of the people in Lou Jingyi's company are young and energetic. Handsome men and beautiful women call him "Uncle Xu" when they see him. When he is among them, he feels that his mentality has become much younger.

He was very grateful to Lou Jingyi for taking him in and giving him a place to stay. The job of a security guard was also very easy, with a generous monthly salary and three meals a day provided free of charge.

Since Lou Jingyi took him in, it was not a long-term solution for him to live in the gatehouse lounge. The back houses on both sides of the quadrangle still retained the function of the gatehouse.

So Lou Jingyi let him move into the gatehouse of No. 95 Siheyuan, and from then on he had a home where he could be alone. His only wish now was that Lou Jingyi's company would prosper forever and prevent him from being homeless again!

He is now 62 years old, and recalling his competitive spirit in his youth, he can't help but find it a little ridiculous. He hasn't seen his lifelong enemy Sha Zhu for many years, but he still misses him a lot.

When he found out about Sha Zhu's recent situation and current address, he took some food and wine and went to Xingfu Village 2 in Sanlitun.

Shazhu had just come back from get off work at a small restaurant. He poured out the leftovers from the restaurant from his lunch box, put them on the gas stove to heat them up, and planned to pour himself a couple of drinks to relieve his fatigue. Suddenly, he heard a knock on the door!

Apart from his apprentice Ma Hua, few people come to his house now.

Sha Zhu turned on a low fire on the gas stove, agreed, walked quickly over to open the door, but suddenly froze in place.

"What? You don't welcome me as a guest?" Xu Damao asked him with a smile.

"What are you doing here? If you have something to say, say it quickly. If you have to fart, fart quickly." When Sha Zhu saw that it was Xu Damao, he immediately became furious. He frowned impatiently and said.

"We haven't seen each other for eight years. Today I came here specially to have a drink with you." Xu Damao held the oil paper bag and the wine bottle in both hands, and his posture was extremely humble.

"How can I have the face to drink with a big boss like you? If you have nothing else to do, please go back! Goodbye."

Sha Zhu said something rude to him and was about to close the door, but Xu Damao stopped him with his foot.

"I'm working as a doorman in Lou Jingyi's company. I'm not a big boss. You and I are both old, and the grudges we had when we were young should have been resolved long ago. Let's talk openly when we meet today. Even if you beat me up today, I'll accept it."

Seeing his sincere attitude, Sha Zhu hesitated for a moment and then moved away to let Xu Damao come in.

Xu Damao placed the wine and food in his hands on the dining table in the main hall and began to look around Sha Zhu's two-bedroom apartment.

"Xu Damao, what you did before was really a jerk! I have never heard of anyone doing such a thing. By the way, there is another good joke. You two are a pair of unfilial descendants who only know how to betray your own parents." After not seeing each other for eight years, Sha Zhu's mouth is still as mean as ever.

"I admit that it was the thing I regret most in my life. I will never forgive myself. I heard that my mother's funeral was handled by you old neighbors. He Yuzhu, I, Xu Damao, would like to express my sincere gratitude to you."

Xu Damao fell to his knees with a thud, which frightened Sha Zhu. He quickly went over and forcibly pulled him up!

"Don't give me that! I didn't help much at the beginning, it was Aunt Tan who took care of everything. It's all thanks to her that your mother can live in the courtyard house. Look at how Aunt Tan treats your family, but how did you treat Lou Xiao'e before? I'm ashamed for you! Now you still have the nerve to stay in Jingyi Company as a doorman?" Sha Zhu angrily scolded Xu Damao.

"It was all my fault in the past! I was arrogant and conceited when I was young, and only wanted to pursue power. Now that I think about it, I was really stupid and pitiful. But how can I regret it?" Xu Damao was so emotional that tears were already streaming down his face.

Sha Zhu pushed the limp Xu Damao onto a chair. He took out a plate from the cupboard and poured the pork head, peanuts, and roast chicken that Xu Damao had brought onto the plate. He also brought up the dishes he had heated up and opened the bottle of wine to pour in the wine.

"Enough! You're already so old and still talking nonsense. Based on my previous temper, I would definitely beat you up. Come, let's drink a cup first, and we can talk slowly later." Sha Zhu put the wine cup in front of Xu Damao and gestured with the cup.

Xu Damao picked up the wine cup and drank it all in one gulp. He drank it a little quickly and couldn't help choking and coughing.

"Hey! Slow down, kid. With your limited alcohol tolerance, you dare to drink with your uncle He? I can still remember all the embarrassing moments when you got drunk before."

"There was nothing I could do before! How could I not listen to the boss' orders when I was drinking with him?"

"Needless to say, at that time, you were like a thief in front of the factory leaders."

"You're no better than me, idiot! You just follow orders. Think back to the past...!"

As the two of them drank their glasses, they started talking and became closer. As they got older, they began to like nostalgia, and the competitive spirit they had when they were young was gone.

Xu Damao also told his subsequent events. He had been in prison for eight years, and he did not hide it from Sha Zhu. How did he meet Lou Jingyi in Nanluoguxiang, and how did he become the company's doorman?

"Jingyi is kindhearted, that's why she took someone like you in. But I have always had a question in my mind, why does she, who is so rich and powerful, and so beautiful and kind-hearted, dislike the Jia family at all? Especially Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu and her son."

This question has been on Sha Zhu's mind for many years. He had asked Qin Huairu before if she had done anything that made her hate Huaihua when she was a child.

But Qin Huairu's answer was that she despised the poor and loved the rich without conscience. But this didn't make sense at all! Didn't she take Xiaodang to Xiangjiang? Didn't she also take over Banggeng's daughter Honghong without saying a word?

"I seem to have heard Lou Xiao'e say before that Jingyi was very pitiful when she was a child. Her first full meal was actually given by Lou Xiao'e. You brought lunch boxes to the Jia family every day before, but this little girl never got a bite." Xu Damao thought for a moment and replied.

"How can she remember so clearly what happened before she was four or five years old? I think there must be something else. Forget it, it's all in the past. Let's continue drinking." Sha Zhu shook his head and stopped thinking about it.

"Have you been back to Nanluoguxiang in recent years? The courtyards there are really pleasing to the eye now! I heard from people in the company that Jingyi spent 100 million from construction to decoration." Xu Damao changed the subject and talked about their old house.

"I passed by several times when it was still being renovated. I never went in to see what had changed inside. Could she have spent 100 million to renovate a house?" Sha Zhu didn't quite believe it.

"What renovated houses! They were all demolished and rebuilt, and now they are all two-story buildings. The courtyard at No. 93 has been converted into a big garden. One hundred million RMB is nothing, her current net worth is over billion US dollars. Isn't it amazing? She is a world-class celebrity." When talking about Lou Jingyi, Xu Damao was immediately full of admiration.

"I've only heard that she was very amazing, but I didn't expect her to be this amazing. I heard that she hasn't gotten married yet? What's the use of having so much money without children?" Sha Zhu also sighed.

"With her current net worth, which man can be worthy of her? She is still so young and beautiful. Those who are trying to show their affection to her now all have bad intentions. By the way, what's the point of you working in a small restaurant now? Why not just come to Jingyi's company?" Xu Damao suggested.

"Does Jingyi's company still need a chef?" Sha Zhu asked curiously.

"There is an employee cafeteria in the company, providing three free meals a day. But they are still short of staff now. I will talk to them for you after the Spring Festival holiday." Xu Damao promised, patting his chest.

"Tsk! I want you to tell her? Don't forget that she and I are related."

Sha Zhu curled his lips! This guy is just a doorman, how dare he say such big words? The relationship between me and Jingyi is comparable to yours?
