The next day, when Sun Zhengguo came to work at the research institute, Li Chunwang saw a person in the distance looking around by the gate.
"Cousin, isn't that Chef He from Uncle's courtyard? Is there another banquet today? Should we let him in?"
Reminded by his cousin, Sun Zhengguo looked up and saw He Daqing.
What is he doing here?
Sun Zhengguo seemed to remember that there was no banquet today, but out of politeness, he still gestured for his cousin to park the car first.
When He Daqing saw the car stop, he quickly ran over.
Good morning, Director Sun.
"Good morning, Uncle He. What are you up to this morning?"
Hearing Sun Zhengguo's teasing, He Daqing smiled sheepishly.
"Director Sun, I'm so sorry, but I have some personal matters to discuss with you today. Would it be convenient for you to speak with me?"
"What's inconvenient about this? Let's go inside and talk about it."
Sun Zhengguo did not refuse, and waved to the sentries, signaling them to let him pass.
Upon seeing this, He Daqing quickly and happily followed, without even needing to register.
Because the sentry at the gate already knew his identity information, he only needed to fill it out himself.
Soon, the two arrived at the office. Sun Zhengguo went to pour tea, but He Daqing refused.
If it doesn't collapse, it doesn't collapse!
Seeing that He Daqing was very reserved, Sun Zhengguo asked him questions after he sat down.
"Uncle He, it's just the two of us in the office now, so please just say what you need to say."
"I…?"
When the time came, He Daqing hesitated. After all, this was not a glorious matter. What if...?
"Just tell me straight! You've helped me a lot over the years, do you think I'd sell you out?"
Sun Zhengguo sensed that he had something difficult to say and was quite curious, wondering if the old man had done something wrong.
"Ouch!"
Whether he sticks his neck out or not, he'll get stabbed anyway. Thinking about the money he'd earned during this time, He Daqing ultimately couldn't resist the temptation.
"Director Sun, some time ago I saw some people doing some small business, but no one was managing it, so I followed suit and sold some sunflower seeds and popcorn at the movie theater."
Although I made a little money, as you know, it was all hard-earned.
"Well, now someone's got their eye on me, wanting me to work for them for free. Damn it, how could I agree to that? So I wanted to ask you, is this even possible?"
After hearing He Daqing's description, Sun Zhengguo couldn't help but sigh inwardly, it seems that not everyone in this courtyard is a rat.
He Daqing is a talented individual who can keenly seize business opportunities and accurately position himself.
However, none of this concerned him, because he didn't want to do business.
"Uncle He, don't worry. The policy has been relaxed now, so it's no problem to do some small business. If you wait another year or two, you can even open a restaurant."
"Alright! I'm relieved to hear that." He Daqing was overjoyed.
Now he no longer has to worry about being extorted by Yan Laokou, and he can enjoy the pleasure of counting money again.
However, that old bastard Yan Bugui dared to extort me. I'll see how I deal with him when I get back.
Seeing He Daqing's expression change from surprise to ruthlessness, Sun Zhengguo seemed to have guessed something.
"Uncle He, you're not thinking of taking revenge on Yan Bugui right now, are you?"
Upon hearing this, He Daqing looked utterly surprised.
It's worth noting that he hasn't mentioned Yan Bugui at all since he entered the room, so how did Sun Zhengguo know about him?
"Don't be surprised. I know all the people in this courtyard, what kind of people they are. Let me give you a piece of advice: a gentleman takes revenge even after ten years."
"Thank you, Director Sun. I understand. I won't keep you any longer. You go ahead with your work. I'll head back now. If you ever need my help, I'll be there whenever you call."
"Okay! Take care then."
...
As He Daqing left the research institute, he recalled what had just happened and broke out in a cold sweat.
He really understood after hearing their conversation!
No wonder Yan Bugui has had so much bad luck over the years. First he lost his job, then he lost his position as manager, and finally he lost his house.
I should have realized it long ago; the only people in this courtyard with this ability are from the Sun family.
Fortunately, my family didn't offend anyone, otherwise, given their social standing, they wouldn't even know how they died.
"That stingy Yan deserves it. I'll let you have your fun for a while, pshaw!"
After cursing under his breath, He Daqing pushed his bicycle and headed towards the neighborhood office...
In the afternoon, the aroma of popcorn wafted through the courtyard again, drawing another round of criticism from the neighbors.
This time, however, He Daqing didn't hide anything; instead, he did it openly and honestly.
When Yan Bugui saw this, he was puzzled and didn't know what He Daqing meant.
Is he really not going to continue? Does he want to cook these things and eat them himself?
With these questions in mind, Yan Bugui feigned concern and went to the He family's house.
"Zhu Zi's wife, are you busy at home?"
When Li Xiuxiu saw the old man coming over, she ignored him completely, picked up the freshly roasted melon seeds, and walked out as if no one else was around.
Yan Bugui was rebuffed and just smiled awkwardly before finding He Daqing, who was busy at work.
"Old He, your cooking skills are truly amazing. I can smell the delicious aroma from far away. I wonder if you could help my family out?"
He Daqing never expected that this old bastard would abandon all shame in order to make money.
You should know that today he not only went to see Sun Zhengguo, but also went to the neighborhood office.
The street office official, Zhang, has clearly told him that these small businesses are now within the scope of policy, and he can do them with confidence.
With these two safeguards in place, it's no wonder He Daqing would treat Yan Bugui with disdain.
"Hehe! It smells good, doesn't it? But there's none for you. Go find somewhere cool and don't bother me while I'm working."
"you…?"
Yan Bugui hadn't expected He Daqing to be so stubborn. Was he preparing for a fight to the death?
"Old He, don't you consider the consequences? Or do you treat national policies as a joke? I'm doing this for your own good."
"Consequences, huh? Policies, huh? It's for my own good, huh? Get the hell out of here, you old bastard, I'll fucking beat you to death."
He Daqing's fiery temper was instantly ignited, and he grabbed a large shovel and started hitting Yan Bugui.
"Oh! You're being unreasonable. Let's see how long you can be so smug. We'll see."
After being hit several times with a shovel, Yan Bugui uttered a harsh threat and fled in disarray.
He Daqing originally wanted to chase after them, but Li Xiuxiu, seeing this, was afraid that things would escalate, so she quickly ran over to persuade them.
"Dad, let it go. Don't beat him up and make him suffer, or he'll try to extort money from our family."
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. Consider this a little interest. If he dares to bastard again, I'll break his legs."
Seeing that her father-in-law understood everything, Li Xiuxiu stopped talking and went back to work.
However, did this matter simply end there? The answer is no.
Because He Daqing kept in mind the saying, "A gentleman takes revenge even after ten years."
