In September, Xu Damao unexpectedly met Li Huaide, the "benefactor" in his life, while dining out.
This enigmatic man, after disappearing for several years, has made a triumphant return. Not only is he still as charming as ever, but he also seems to be as womanizing as ever.
Looking at the youthful and beautiful You Fengxia with her charming face, Xu Damao was instantly awestruck.
"Director Li, may I ask who this beautiful lady is...?"
"Hahaha!" Li Huaide laughed loudly, "Da Mao, you're still the same as before, you're not immune to beautiful women. Let me introduce you, this is Manager You Fengxia, you two get to know each other, maybe there will be opportunities to cooperate in the future."
"Manager You, hello, it's an honor to meet you."
Xu Damao tried his best to act like a gentleman, extending his hand and smiling as he spoke.
You Fengxia was quite obliging, extending her slender hand for a light handshake between them.
"Mr. Xu, you're too kind. Just call me Fengxia."
After exchanging greetings, Li Huaide invited Xu Damao to sit down and have a detailed discussion.
After only a few minutes of conversation, Xu Damao couldn't hold back and revealed all his secrets.
Upon learning that he was doing quite well, Li Huaide nodded in satisfaction.
“Da Mao, if that’s the case, then Liu Haizhong is doing quite well now. Why don’t you invite him out sometime and we can sit down and have a good chat? After all, we used to be old friends.”
"Don't worry, Director Li, I will definitely help you arrange to meet him." Xu Damao nodded and bowed, smiling obsequiously, looking every bit the servile servant.
You Fengxia, who was accompanying them, couldn't help but reveal a hint of disdain in her eyes.
Suddenly, Li Huaide heard a series of beeping sounds from his waist. He took out his pager and looked at it.
"Excuse me, Damao, I have some business to attend to and need to go out to return a call."
"Of course, of course, Director Li, please go ahead."
"Okay." Li Huaide stood up and said with a smile, "Manager You, then you can keep Xu Damao company."
“No problem, Mr. Li. Your friend is my friend, You Fengxia. I will definitely make him satisfied.”
Upon hearing You Fengxia mention the word "friend," Xu Damao's mind began to wander.
After Li Huaide left, he shamelessly sat down next to You Fengxia.
"Manager You, where is Director Li making his fortune these days? He seems quite busy."
Upon hearing this, You Fengxia pretended to be casual and smiled faintly, "President Li has his own import and export trading company, and it's quite large, probably worth one or two million!"
"What?"
Xu Damao stared in surprise, realizing he had been complacent about making a little money every day.
Compared to Li Huaide, he was like the moon in the sky, while I was just a pitiful firefly.
"Manager You, I wonder if you could put in a good word for me with General Manager Li and ask him to help me make a little money?"
"No problem, no problem, Mr. Xu, why are you being so polite? Aren't we friends?"
Alright! With just a few words, You Fengxia had Xu Damao trapped in her clutches.
It must be said that women have a unique advantage in the business world.
No wonder many companies hire female public relations staff.
Not long after Li Huaide finished his phone call and returned, he saw You Fengxia's expression and understood everything.
However, fishing can't be rushed; you have to eat one bite at a time and do things one step at a time. So he made an excuse that he had to leave.
Xu Damao naturally had no suspicions and politely escorted the person to the front door.
He just didn't expect that Li Huaide and his companion would leave in a car.
Watching the car drive away, and then looking at his own motorcycle, Xu Damao suddenly felt it wasn't so appealing anymore.
At the same time, he secretly cheered himself up, determined to get on Li Huaide's good side.
Upon returning, Xu Damao immediately found Liu Haizhong and told him what he had seen and heard that day.
Liu Haizhong has probably had too much luck lately and has been blinded by money, so he's completely unprepared.
After hearing Xu Damao's description, he expressed his willingness to meet him. The two hit it off immediately and went to Li Huaide's trading company the next day.
After friendly negotiations, Liu Haizhong and Xu Damao finally agreed to the deal, each deciding to put in 5,000 yuan to test the waters first.
Of course, Li Huaide was a cunning old fox; he wouldn't even look at this little bit of money. He planned to play the long game and catch a big fish, so he gave the two of them a little taste of the sweetness first.
A few days later, the first batch of televisions arrived. Since these were smuggled goods and in high demand, there was no worry about selling them.
As a result, after the goods were sold, the two people's initial investment of 5,000 yuan suddenly increased to 10,000 yuan.
Looking at the real gold and silver in his hands, Liu Haizhong felt as if he were in a dream.
"Da Mao, pinch me quickly, is this real?"
"Second Uncle, this is nothing. From now on, if we follow Director Li, we'll never have to worry about not making a fortune."
Xu Damao was equally delighted, waving a stack of banknotes back and forth in his hand, fantasizing that one day he could get his hands on You Fengxia.
Although Liu Haizhong didn't have such filthy thoughts at the moment, some ulterior motives were brewing in his mind.
For example, if I invest more money next time, will I be able to earn more?
Or, bring a few more sons along and let them see their abilities; they still treat them like emperors.
That evening, Xu Damao invited Liu Haizhong to his home for drinks, but just as the two raised their glasses, an uninvited guest arrived.
Yan Bugui walked in through the door with a smile, carrying a bottle of Erguotou (a type of Chinese liquor).
"You two, having a drink! Would you mind if I joined you?"
Because he was a guest, Liu Haizhong had no right to speak and instead looked at Xu Damao.
Although Xu Damao was displeased, he still greeted people with a smile.
"Uncle Yan, since you're here, please have a seat!"
"Oh, thank you, Damao."
After Yan Bugui sat down, to show his sincerity, he immediately opened the Erguotou liquor he had brought.
What was unexpected was that Yan Laokou, who always liked to take advantage of others, actually brought a bottle of undiluted wine today.
After drinking, Xu Damao smiled and said, "It's rare to see you here today, Uncle Yan. Is there something you need?"
"Hehe!" Yan Bugui laughed awkwardly, "It's nothing else, I just want you guys to help me make money."
Upon hearing this, Liu and Xu exchanged a glance, and it was clear that Liu was somewhat displeased.
He was about to politely decline, but to his surprise, Xu Damao agreed.
“Sure! Uncle Yan, we’re all from the same compound. As long as you have the skills, we’re willing to take you on.”
"Alright, alright, I have the capital, Da Mao! I knew I hadn't misjudged you. You've always been kind-hearted since you were little. Don't worry, once I make money, I'll definitely treat you all to a meal..."
Faced with Yan Laokou's flattering words, Xu Damao didn't believe a single punctuation mark.
He must have had his own reasons for agreeing to help Yan Bugui get rich.
Liu Haizhong, however, was unaware of this, and therefore, he didn't give the banquet a pleasant look until the end.
