Siheyuan: Starting to work in the street office

Li Huaide saw that Zhong Shan didn't look like he was joking. He thought about what he had just said, but still couldn't figure it out.

"Brother, just be frank. With our relationship over the years, we can say that we share the same fate, but if we suffer together, we can also share the same fate. If I don't help you, who else can I help?"

Zhong Shan adjusted his sitting position and stared at Li Huaide for a while.

"Brother Li, I have some evidence that I have had a close relationship with the guards in the study class for many years. I have sent rice, flour, grain and oil to their homes for a long time, changed the location of their children's work in the countryside, provided convenience, and even expressed my grievances for them in letters to their children. Brother Li, if you give me these things, do you dare to go to our committee to arrest people?"

Li Huaide was shocked when he heard this. What does this mean? Gather the materials for yourself.

But soon Li Huaide understood that Zhong Shan was betting with himself. He was betting that these people would be cleared of charges soon, and his position would change from the chairman of the committee to being in the same group with these people.

"Brother, I am willing to help. You can rest assured that I am here. However, it is a bit against the rules for me to go to your committee to arrest someone, and I am a deputy director at that. I can only manage the people in the steel mill, not yours."

Zhong Shan knew all this, but there was really nothing he could do. He was really worried about others trying to arrest him.

"Brother Li, when did we care about someone's identity when we arrested him? You have evidence in your hand, doesn't that constitute a condition? Besides, we are all in the same street, and your rank is higher than ours. It's not impossible for you to intervene in this matter if you insist."

Zhong Shan paused here, then seeing Li Huaide had a thoughtful expression, he continued.

"And it won't take long. After you capture me, someone will ask you for my release. You can just hand me over. I don't want to be locked up here for a few years. From now on, I will become a loser."

Hearing this, Li Huaide roughly knew Zhong Shan's plan. In fact, the matter was very simple. The difficulty was that he had been preparing for a long time. It was not too easy to collect his own evidence. However, if it was done well, the effect would be better. He could also learn from it.

Moreover, as Zhong Shan said, if it fell into the hands of others, he would also feel uneasy. What if someone wanted to dig out something else from him and involve himself in it, it would be troublesome.

"Oh, I didn't expect it to come to this. Okay, hurry up and send me the materials so I can deal with you as soon as possible. I have to think of a solution later. I can learn from your idea and use a nesting doll. Although the effect may not be very good, as long as it can jump out, it's fine."

After the two of them finished talking, they stopped talking about this topic and started talking about other things. Li Huaide looked at Zhong Shan and asked.

"Brother, what are your plans for the future? You are still young. Since this road has come to an end, you should always try another one!"

Zhong Shan shook his head.

"Old Li, what can a person like me who has been demoted and has problems do? Just stay at home quietly for two years. The most difficult time is over. Once the wind turns, those businessmen who have fled abroad will come back. We can't just let them come back to retire. There will always be room for people to do business. We can think of a solution then."

Li Huaide nodded after hearing this. Both of them were well-informed people and naturally knew that the wind was changing, otherwise they would not have resorted to such a desperate measure.

Once the merchants who have fled abroad come back, they will definitely be properly settled. They will not really be asked to come back to live in retirement. However, who knows what will happen in the future? All this is just speculation.

Of course, he didn't know that Zhong Shan's guesses were not all his. Zhong Shan even knew the specific time when reform and opening up allowed businesses to do business, but he just couldn't say it.

"Brother, you have a lot to wait for. So many years have passed. I don't know how many more years you have to wait before you can do business. Maybe by then, we will all be old men."

"Then I can retire early, but I can't wait that long. I have to prepare first. Brother Li, what do you think about me opening a restaurant?"

Li Huaide was stunned when he heard this. Why did they suddenly talk about opening a restaurant?

"Oh, no, brother, we haven't even started yet, how can you talk about opening a restaurant? And have you ever run one? As for getting some supplies, brother, you do have the ability, but opening a restaurant is not that simple. Just the first step, where are you going to find a good chef?"

At this point, Li Huaide also reacted.

"Well, Zhongshan, you want to poach our steel mill's employees, right? Are you targeting Master He?"

"How can this be considered poaching? Besides, Brother Li, you don't even know how many years you can stay in the steel mill. Why do you care so much? When you are no longer in the steel mill, I will really poach Master He and open a restaurant. Then you can eat this food anytime you want. Otherwise, you won't have the chance to eat it after you leave.

Besides, Master He may not agree. Who would give up their job as a worker to become a cook in a private restaurant these days? If he doesn't want to, he will have to find another cook."

Li Huaide thought about it and it was true. How could he not know how many years he could stay in the steel mill? It seemed as if I was going to lose my job soon.

However, Li Huaide already had the idea, but it had not been put on the agenda yet. But after hearing Zhong Shan’s plan today, he was ready to do it. It seems that he has to hurry up and can’t be attached to the location of the factory anymore. Safety is the most important thing.

This is also the reason why Li Huaide trusts Zhong Shan very much, or rather, he trusts Zhong Shan very much. In his opinion, Zhong Shan can make such a decisive decision, it must be that he got some news from Zhong Shan's father-in-law, otherwise he would not let him go for no reason.

This decision also allowed him to prepare in advance, so that he would not suffer serious injuries like in the original drama, and even end up committing fraud.

"Brother Li, you know a lot of people. Do you know where there are shops on the street? A big place to open a big restaurant. Also, the property rights must be clear. Don't return the properties you seized. It's a waste of time."

When Li Huaide heard this, he thought, you are so anxious, I haven't caught you yet, but you are already preparing the seat in the restaurant.

"Why are you in such a hurry? We don't know when we can start a business. Why are you looking for a house so early? If you have to wait another ten or twenty years, why bother looking for a house? Just live there in your old age."

Having said that, since Zhong Shan has said so, we still have to do it.

"I'll keep an eye on it, but why are you looking for it so early? I'm about to catch you, and you're still doing this? Be careful, don't buy a house recently, it will attract too much attention. Don't bring up the past again, or you'll end up making things worse."
