Siheyuan: Starting to work in the street office

Lou Xiao'e's heart skipped a beat. She also felt something was wrong, but she didn't think much about it.

But after Qin Huairu said this, it is not impossible.

Otherwise, why would Boss Wu let them buy a house in the compound when he is doing well?

During this period, houses in slums were not a good choice for wealthy people. If Lou Xiao'e had not lived here for many years and had no one around her after returning to the old city, she would not have chosen to live here again.

Boss Wu didn't know anyone in the courtyard, and he suddenly moved here. No matter how you look at it, his purpose is not simple.

However, Lou Xiao'e was still a little suspicious.

"No way. I'm an old lady now. I've never had any contact with Boss Wu. I've never spoken to him. I don't think I have such great charm. I think Sister Qin might be a possibility."

Qin Huairu smiled when she heard this.

"Ezi, I'm not just saying this without any reason. When that person in the backyard passes by again, pay attention. His eyes are almost glued to you. It's obvious that he has other intentions."

Lou Xiao'e is not a little girl anymore, so she naturally wouldn't feel embarrassed, but after hearing Qin Huairu's words, she became cautious.

Then they talked about other things. Lou Xiao'e and Qin Huairu were not young anymore, and they had seen a lot, so they spoke without any scruples, which made Zhong Shan, who was standing by, feel a little uncomfortable to interrupt.

The two men were chatting happily, and Zhongshan did not interrupt, nor could he. The two men did not pay attention to Zhongshan either. They were there only because Zhongshan's house was bigger.

Zhong Shan ignored them and just watched TV while rolling walnuts in his hands.

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Several people in the room looked towards the door and saw the new neighbor, Boss Wu, who had just been mentioned.

When the man saw that the three people in the room were looking at him, he smiled what he thought was a gentle smile.

"Hi, how are you guys? I'm the new neighbor. My name is Wu Zongyuan. I saw there were so many of you here, so I came over to meet you all."

Although he was talking to three people, his eyes always fell on Lou Xiao'e intentionally or unintentionally.

You might not notice these things at ordinary times, but Qin Huairu just reminded Lou Xiaoe, and now the three people in the room are paying attention, so it is easy for them to discover this.

Zhong Shan also became interested. It seemed that this man was really coming for Lou Xiaoe?

But it was his house, and no matter what he was thinking, he couldn't just leave him here, so Zhong Shan stepped forward.

"Oh, is this Mr. Wu from Hong Kong Island? Please come in. I've heard that there's a Hong Kong compatriot restaurant in the backyard. But you speak Mandarin pretty well, not much worse than us."

Zhong Shan looked at Boss Wu's empty hands and the arrogance in his eyes and knew what kind of person he was. Moreover, he came to Zhong Shan's house, but after entering the house, he didn't even look at Zhong Shan, which was very telling.

What's more, Qin Huairu didn't hear anything wrong with his forced Hong Kong-style Mandarin, but Zhong Shan and Lou Xiao'e both found it rather awkward.

Even though the pronunciation is not standard, the articulation is very clear and one can tell that he speaks good Mandarin. But they try to add some accent to it, pretending that he is from Hong Kong Island and speaks bad Mandarin, which makes people lose the desire to know him.

But since he was a guest after all, Zhong Shan couldn't say much and could only give him a slight nod.

After hearing Zhong Shan's words, Wu Zongyuan was stunned for a moment, then laughed dryly twice.

"Haha, you're too kind, too kind. To be honest, I lived here for a while when I was a kid, but I've been in Hong Kong Island for too long, so I can't speak Mandarin very fluently anymore."

When Lou Xiao'e heard the tone, she couldn't help laughing, and Zhong Shan was also trying hard to hold back his laughter. Only Qin Huairu didn't know what the two were laughing at.

Zhong Shan held back for a moment and let Wu Zongyuan, who was still at the door, into the house.

"Wu, Wu Zongyuan, Boss Wu, right? Come in and sit down. Don't be polite. I've heard that a big boss from Hong Kong Island has come to the backyard, but I never had the chance to meet him."

Wu Zongyuan was not surprised to hear Zhongshan's words. He had heard too many similar words since he returned to Sijiu City. Of course, this was also related to his status and position.

With the identity of Boss Wu, the people he can come into contact with are all small bosses, similar to Liu Haizhong.

He cannot get in touch with those who are truly capable, but those small bosses will naturally be attracted by the title of Hong Kong businessman, and when they talk to him, they mostly try to please him.

So Wu Zongyuan heard this kind of words a lot.

After hearing Zhong Shan's words at this moment, Wu Zongyuan's arrogance became even more pronounced.

Originally Wu Zongyuan had some doubts about the relationship between Zhong Shan and Lou Xiao'e, but now he has no doubts at all.

In his opinion, Zhong Shan and they are completely different people. No matter how rich you are, you are just a small boss. He looked at Lou Xiao'e who was standing aside and didn't care. Sure enough, only this member of the Lou family was the same kind as him, and the others were not worth worrying about.

Thinking of this, Wu Zongyuan also relaxed.

"Well, I'm not a big boss. This is just a small business, not worth mentioning. We are all neighbors in the future. We can cooperate if there is a chance."

Wu Zongyuan was quite "modest", but perhaps he had really been away for too long and did not notice at all that he was the only one who introduced himself after entering the room, while Zhong Shan and the other three never introduced themselves from beginning to end.

The way he looked down on people made the three people in the room lose the desire to make friends with him, and they didn't even want to waste time introducing themselves.

Only Zhongshan had no choice. The person was at his house, so he couldn't just ignore him. Besides, he was free anyway, so it would be nice to tease him.

"Oh? So what kind of business does Boss Wu do? We'll be neighbors from now on, so please help us if you have the chance."

Boss Wu waved his hand.

"Hey! It's no problem. I'm in the business of trade. If you want to follow me, you can join me and we can all make money together."

It’s just that Wu Zongyuan came here for Lou Xiaoe, and he didn’t really want to get to know these neighbors.

But Lou Xiao'e didn't say anything, which made him a little unsure about how to start talking.

"Your last name is Zhong, right? I remember Brother Liu mentioned that you are the owner of Jufulou. The food in your restaurant is very authentic. If there is a chance, we can cooperate."

Zhong Shan then slapped his forehead, as if he had suddenly realized something.

"Oh, it's my fault. Boss Wu was so happy when he came in just now that he forgot to introduce himself. Yes, my last name is Zhong. I run a small restaurant and do a small business. Of course, I can't compare with you, Boss Wu. You run a big business. My small restaurant can't compare to you."
