Chapter 426: Li Huaide Seeks Help

As soon as she entered the kitchen, Qin Jingru busied herself cooking for the men.

Wu Jingru was somewhat embarrassed because the stove here was too outdated, and he didn't know how to help.

There was nothing else Xu Damao could do but arrange for her to sit aside and chat with them.

When Li Huaide saw this, he was incredibly envious!

This guy, so young, has already married two wives. Everyone's so envious!

Li Huaide took out the dishes he had prepared from his bag and politely handed them to Qin Jingru.

Finally, they brought out two bottles of Moutai and two cartons of Huazi cigarettes.

In this day and age, bringing something like this to someone's door is definitely a sign of great respect.

"Come on, Damao, let's drink this today."

Li Huaide said magnanimously.

"Haha, okay, drink this then. It's rare for a friend to come see me when I'm back. Brother, I'll remember you."

Xu Damao also spoke frankly. To be honest, if it weren't for Li Huaide's help, he wouldn't have been able to go to Hong Kong.

As human beings, we should know how to be grateful.

Although they accepted the gold, they also genuinely helped.

Xu Damao is truly a grateful person.

The two started drinking, starting with the peanuts that were served first.

Wu Jingru watched from the sidelines, speechless. In Hong Kong, men don't drink like that.

After the two had drunk for a while, Li Huaide began to think about getting down to business.

He knew Xu Damao's character; if he drank any more, Xu Damao would crawl under the table.

Therefore, it's best to say something important at this time.

"Brother!"

Li Huaide said with emotion, "Don't be fooled by my current position as factory director, which may seem prestigious. In reality, I walk on thin ice every single day! It's so difficult, incredibly difficult."

Xu Damao laughed without a care in the world.

"Brother, are you kidding me? You're a steel mill manager, complaining to a nobody like me? Aren't you disgusting?"

When the wine is right, the emotions are right; when the emotions are right, conversation becomes more casual.

Li Huaide said with a bitter face, "I'm not complaining. Brother, let me tell you, I'm feeling more and more pressure. Don't be fooled by my seemingly strong appearance, I'm really about to break down."

Xu Damao frowned as he saw how serious he was talking.

"Dude, what do you mean?"

Li Huaide took out the small yellow croaker that Xu Damao had given him, along with several other pieces, and placed them on the table.

He said sincerely, "Brother, I'm serious, please help me out."

Xu Damao's eyes widened in surprise. "No way, you, a factory director, want to come to Hong Kong with me?"

"Pee..."

Li Huaide gestured for him to speak softly and said in a low voice, "Brother, let me give you a heads-up! The pressure is getting heavier and heavier, and I'm really afraid that when you come back, you won't be able to see me again."

So, considering I helped you before, please help me out!

Xu Damao was stunned and just stared at Li Huaide in silence.

Li Huaide also looked at him quietly, their eyes meeting and staring intently at each other.

"Are you really leaving?"

Xu Damao finally spoke.

Li Huaide nodded: "Yes, that's right, we really have to go."

Xu Damao nodded and said, "Okay. In fact, I could get you out of here with just a word. But you know I can't do that."

So, if you really want to leave, go directly to Hong Kong. Then call me, or take a taxi to find me.

There was no other way; Xu Damao simply sent the man to Hong Kong, which would cause him a lot of trouble later. Someone like Li Huaide, once he ran away, would become a traitor.

Li Huaide also knew that Xu Damao couldn't help him directly. If he did, people would come after Xu Damao to demand the person back.

It seems I need to learn Cantonese and English.

The two whispered about the details, such as telling Li Huaide the address and phone number. These couldn't be written down; he had to memorize them.

Just as the two were enjoying their drinks, something happened at Zhongyuan Shazhu's place.

In the Intermediate People's Court, someone was banging loudly on the door of Sha Zhu's house.

It's already dinnertime, and everyone who was supposed to leave work has already done so.

An old man, along with that Jia family bastard and a few other young men, stormed into the door.

There was nothing they could do; the Jia family had suffered a huge loss this time. Not only did they lose their house, but they also had their members arrested.

They came directly to Sha Zhu, demanding that he write a letter of understanding in order to rescue his mother and wife.

When Sha Zhu opened the door, he saw several people standing outside and was speechless.

"What do you want to do?"

Although there were many of them, Sha Zhu was not afraid.

The old man standing at the front, with a sanctimonious air, said, "Hello, Master He, let me introduce myself. I am Yi Nanfeng, an old man from this courtyard."

Sha Zhu was speechless. So you really are surnamed Yi?

He nodded dumbfounded and asked, "And then?"

Yi Nanfeng said, "The reason I came here today is mainly to help mediate the matter between you and the Jia family."

Sha Zhu interrupted him directly, saying, "I don't need your mediation, thank you!"

After Sha Zhu finished speaking, he gestured for them to leave.

Gaa...

Yi Nanfeng, I'm numb.

Why doesn't this person play by the rules?

I heard I'm an old man, you should at least give me some face, right? But this silly Zhu didn't give me any face at all.

Jia Dongxi, who was standing next to him, got angry.

"Silly Zhu, we've already given the house back to you, what more do you want? Do you really want to torture someone to death?"

Jia Dongxi roared loudly.

"Quiet down, quiet down."

Yi Nanfeng loudly interrupted their argument, saying, "Listen to me, Comrade He Yuzhu, how about this? We'll spend money, we'll spend a hundred yuan to buy you a letter of understanding, is that alright?"

Yi Nanfeng thought it was absolutely feasible; that was a hundred yuan! That was three months' wages for a normal worker. Who wouldn't be tempted?

Unexpectedly, Sha Zhu shook his head and said, "Sorry, even if you gave me a hundred yuan, or even a thousand yuan, I still wouldn't write this letter of understanding. Get lost!"

So there's nothing left to discuss?

Jia Dongxi got carried away immediately.

"You bastard, brothers, kill him! If you don't give me the letter of understanding today, I'll cripple you."

Jia Dongxi shouted loudly.

Five people surrounded Sha Zhu, ready to beat him up. However, Sha Zhu was no pushover either.

Sha Zhu was one against five, and a fight broke out.

This immediately made the whole hospital lively.

"Haha, there's a fight at the Intermediate People's Court! Let's go check it out!"

"Oh dear, Sha Zhu's back and he's gotten into another fight! Hurry over there!"

Suddenly, chaos erupted throughout the entire courtyard, alarming even the neighboring courtyards.
