Siheyuan: Revenge of the Stupid Pillar

Liu Fangchun glanced at He Yuzhu and said unhappily:

"Don't forget, Lao Xu also went to your model worker commendation meeting. Besides, I read the newspaper, too."

Hearing this, He Yuzhu smiled innocently and touched the back of his head.

"Aunt Liu, we can talk about small things after dinner. Business is more important. You haven't told me how spicy you want it."

“It’s hot, so medium spicy is fine!”

"okay!"

After the conversation, He Yuzhu started to cook. He was already very familiar with Sichuan cuisine, and with the support of the master's cooking skills, he cooked not only quickly but also beautifully.

Liu Fangchun was amazed at what he saw and felt for the first time what speed meant.

An hour later, four meat dishes, three vegetable dishes and a soup were ready. He Yuzhu had completed his mission. He sat in the kitchen, took out the novel he had prepared in advance, and began to read it leisurely.

As He Yuzhu opened the novel, Liu Fangchun came back and said in a gentle voice:

"Zhu Zi, dinner is ready, why are you still sitting in the kitchen?"

He Yuzhu was stunned for a moment, then smiled suddenly:

"Aunt Liu, I'm just a cook. If the big boss is treating me to a meal, I won't join in the fun."

Liu Fangchun smiled and said, "Zhu Zi, the person Lao Xu invited today is his fellow villager, not a colleague from the company, so we won't talk about work..."

He Yuzhu declined again, "Aunt Liu, from what you said, the big boss is inviting relatives and friends to the banquet, so it's even more inappropriate for me, an outsider, to go."

Liu Fangchun said dissatisfiedly: "Zhu Zi, why are you not suitable to go? Old Xu and I have never treated you as an outsider."

At this time, the big boss also came to the kitchen and said peacefully:

"Zhu Zi, your aunt is right. We have never treated you as an outsider. Come with us. We are waiting for you alone."

He Yuzhu was quite moved and said, "Big Boss, Aunt Liu, thank you very much for thinking highly of me, but it is really not appropriate for me to go."

The big boss said with a straight face: "Zhu Zi, if you keep being so distant with me, I will get angry."

Seeing this, He Yuzhu could only smile bitterly and said, "Since you think so highly of me, it would be a bit ungrateful if I refuse."

Upon hearing this, the leader laughed heartily and said, "That's right!"

"Also, you call my wife Aunt Liu, but you call me the big boss. Isn't that a little inappropriate?"

Hearing this, He Yuzhu immediately climbed up the pole and called out affectionately, "Uncle Xu!"

The big boss patted He Yuzhu on the shoulder and laughed, "Good nephew."

When they arrived at the living room, the leader introduced today's guests to He Yuzhu.

The people at the table were indeed fellow villagers of the big leader, and one of them was his cousin from the next room.

After He Yuzhu exchanged greetings with everyone, he began to lower his posture and pour wine for everyone.

Seeing this, the leader nodded with satisfaction.

The big leader was satisfied, and He Yuzhu was even more satisfied. The big leader was a founding father of the country, and being able to eat at the same table with him was a blessing he had earned in eight lifetimes.

Moreover, the big boss treated him equally, unlike Xu Damao who had to be humble and submissive when he went to have dinner with the boss. To put it bluntly, he was just a tool called by the boss to drink with him.

However, Xu Damao is also a talented person. Every time he entertains guests for drinks, if the leader drinks one glass, he drinks three glasses, making the guests happy.

The leader was happy, but he got drunk, and the key point was that he enjoyed it.

To put it bluntly, he tried so hard to please his boss just to get promoted.

But he didn't know that since the day he married Lou Xiao'e, it would be difficult for him to get promoted.

Everyone recognized He Yuzhu's craftsmanship and praised him endlessly. He Yuzhu accepted the praises with humility on his face. He seemed neither arrogant nor humble, and his attitude was just right.

After lunch, the leader’s relatives and friends left soon after. Seeing this, He Yuzhu also said goodbye.

The big boss asked, "Zhu Zi, do you have anything else to do this afternoon?"

He Yuzhu shook his head and said, "It's nothing serious!"

"In that case, play a few games of chess with me."

"Will this disturb your rest?"

"No, playing chess is like taking a break for me."

"Then I'd rather be respectful than obey your orders!"

The big boss nodded slightly and led He Yuzhu to the study.

As soon as He Yuzhu stepped into the study, Liu Fangchun brought him hot tea.

"Aunt Liu, how can I ask you to make tea for me?" He Yuzhu looked flattered.

Liu Fangchun complained: "Zhu Zi, you are good in every way except that you are too polite."

"You call me aunt, isn't it my duty to make you a cup of tea? What's more, you prepared such a large table of delicious food for us."

The big boss echoed, "Zhu Zi, when you come to my uncle's house, just treat it as your own home. Don't be polite."

He Yuzhu half-jokingly said, "Uncle, aunt, if you say so, then I will take it seriously."

"I'm just afraid you're not sincere. Zhuzi, you're the red flag, you go first."

"Then I won't hesitate to join the border troops."

"Bian Bing, what's your trick? You're the first to attack."

"I'll be the first to take the lead!"

"Eat your middle soldier, checkmate!"

"I'll eat the middle soldier too, checkmate!"

"Vault!"

"Get out of the car!"

"Zhu Zi, what's your trick? Are you giving me a car to eat?"

"Just worried that you wouldn't dare to eat it?"

"What am I afraid of eating? Cannonballs."

"Haha, Uncle Xu, you lose, Double Cannon General."

The big boss was stunned for a moment, and he was checked in just five moves.

He learned this routine from others in his previous life. It was a five-step strategy to kill the opponent. The key was to catch the opponent by surprise. As long as the opponent was a little calm, they would not be fooled.

The big boss said angrily: "Zhu Zi, you are so mean. You actually set a trap for me."

He Yuzhu said with a smile: "Uncle Xu, you are too greedy. If you don't eat my car, I won't kill you."

"No, I was deceived by you, I want to regret my move."

"There is no reason to regret a move."

"I'm older, so you're going to let me regret a move, right?"

"No, there is no reason to regret a move. Next game."

He Yuzhu said this while messing up the chessboard.

Seeing this, the big boss glared at He Yuzhu fiercely and scolded him with a smile: "You kid don't know how to respect the elderly and love the young at all."

He Yuzhu said with a smile: "When playing chess, you have to play it seriously. What's the point of giving in?"

"Don't be so arrogant, kid. I'm serious now. Don't even think about taking advantage of me again."

"See the real chapter under my hands!"

"We'll see what happens when we ride on a donkey to find a horse!"

As the leader kept on crying, more and more cold sweat formed on his forehead, because He Yuzhu had too many strange tricks, and if he wasn't careful, he would fall into the trap set by He Yuzhu.

The big boss lost three games in a row and said angrily, "Where do you get so many weird tricks from?"

He Yuzhu said with a smug look on his face: "Uncle Xu, don't worry about how weird my routine is, as long as it works."

He Yuzhu originally liked chess, so he had read a lot of chess manuals in his previous life. It would be strange if the big leader could handle it.

The big boss was so angry that he said, "Come on again, I don't believe I can't beat you once."
