Chapter 287: What gives? She didn't marry Shazhu again!

Hearing Xu Damao's words, Liu Haizhong nodded.

He wished Xu Damao would get to the point quickly.

This time he came to find Xu Damao precisely to discuss the matter.

He certainly didn't want to listen to Xu Damao lecturing him.

If it weren't for considering that he wanted to cooperate with Xu Damao to do business and make money, he wouldn't have come to see Xu Damao at all.

Seeing Liu Haizhong nod, Xu Damao smiled and then said:

"This time, I plan to invest a total of fifty thousand yuan."

"What share are you planning to take?"

Liu Haizhong thought for a moment and asked:

"You, you first tell me, has this business license been obtained?"

Xu Damao: "I'm in the process of handling it."

"But the name is mine alone."

"But it's fine, ah, if you want to get involved."

"I'll go to the bureau of industry and commerce again and withdraw the form."

"We'll just fill out a new one, right?"

Liu Haizhong nodded, thought again, raised three fingers, and said:

"I'll contribute thirty percent."

Upon hearing that, Xu Damao frowned involuntarily.

Liu Haizhong continued:

"That's all."

"This is my retirement money."

Xu Damao nodded and said:

"Alright, then I'll take seventy percent and you thirty percent."

"Let's settle it like that."

Liu Haizhong hesitated a moment and said:

"We'll split the profits fifty-fifty."

Xu Damao smiled and said:

"Second Elder, you're being a bit unreasonable."

Liu Haizhong: "How is that unreasonable?"

"I haven't finished speaking yet."

"Wait until I finish, then you'll surely agree."

Xu Damao frowned and said:

"Then please go on."

Liu Haizhong: "My apprentice, who is a college student, is now the factory director of the branch factory."

"This threaded steel is a hot commodity."

"Right?"

Xu Damao: "Is the factory director of the third sub-factory, Lan, your apprentice?"

Liu Haizhong said with a proud, smug expression:

"I taught him hands-on."

"When he was in college, I helped pay his tuition."

"He remembers my kindness."

"Just tell me if my conditions are sufficient."

Xu Damao happily said:

"More than enough!"

"Let's settle on that, fifty-fifty."

Liu Haizhong nodded and said:

"Besides, let's hire a cook."

"We'll have our own mess."

"I just don't believe it—if I leave Old Yi, I'll have nothing to eat."

As it turns out, a couple of days ago Liu Haizhong argued with Yi Zhonghai.

In anger, he decided not to eat at Qin Huairu's place anymore.

Because it was Yi Zhonghai who originally persuaded him to go there.

Xu Damao smiled, nodded, and said:

"No problem."

"I don't believe it either."

"I just can't anger that Shazhu to death!"

Liu Haizhong laughed: "Exactly, exactly, we're now in the same trench."

"Just tell me honestly, will Yu Haitang come back after leaving this time?"

Xu Damao: "How would I know?"

Liu Haizhong: "Then, have you and she completed the divorce procedures?"

Xu Damao shook his head.

Liu Haizhong asked again, "Are you thinking of getting a divorce?"

Xu Damao: "Let's talk about it later."

"Anyway, I won't take the initiative to call her back."

"Whether she comes back or not is up to her."

"Once I have money, what kind of person can't I find?"

"I'll make them kneel and look for me."

Liu Haizhong slapped his thigh, stood up, and said:

"Alright, I'm heading back first."

Xu Damao nodded and said:

"Okay, take your time."

Xu Damao warmly saw Liu Haizhong to the door, saying, "Take it easy, Second Elder."

Liu Haizhong let out an "ai".

Xu Damao kept staring at his back until he disappeared from view and the door closed, then he couldn't help but spit on the ground.

Afterwards, he muttered to himself:

"This old bastard actually tried to extort me."

"If I were to split fifty-fifty with you,"

"I would be your grandson."

Evening.

Shazhu lay alone on the bed.

As soon as he came back, he lay there without taking off his clothes.

Not long after.

Qin Huairu walked in carrying a basin of water.

"Get up, wash your face and feet."

Upon hearing that, Shazhu couldn't help but frown.

When did Qin Huairu become so nice?

She actually brought him foot-washing water?

Could it be that she's afraid of being with Ran Laoshi?

That must be it.

So Qin Huairu's kindness is fake.

Shazhu let out a soft sigh and got up from the bed.

Qin Huairu asked, "You didn't go to work this afternoon?"

Shazhu: "I'm not feeling well."

Qin Huairu snorted and said:

"Ran Laoshi is single now, and you're single too."

"There's nothing to worry about anymore."

Shazhu frowned and said impatiently:

"What are you thinking?"

"Besides, even if we were together, no one could control us."

"Because we're both single."

Qin Huairu angrily said, "Exactly, that's why I said there's nothing to worry about."

"Go ahead and enjoy yourself."

Shazhu: "We're not as petty as you imagine!"

Qin Huairu: "Alright, don't say any more."

"Wash your face and feet, then go to sleep."

After saying that, Qin Huairu turned and left.

She returned home.

Jia Zhangshi asked, "Huairu, what's up with your Second Elder?"

Qin Huairu let out a long sigh, sat opposite Jia Zhangshi, and said:

"I heard this from Second Aunt as well."

"Second Elder wants to go into business with Xu Damao."

"Just do business, start a company."

Xiao Dang exclaimed in surprise, "How old are they? Seventy, right?"

Qin Huairu snorted and said:

"You don't understand him; he's old in body but young at heart."

"He'll seize any opportunity to do something big."

Huaihua: "Let him do what he wants."

"Mom, I never agreed to you taking care of them."

"This time it's better; he left on his own."

"We can relax now."

Qin Huairu: "That won't do."

"If we don't look after him, who will?"

"On the other side."

"Chunfeng Fandian."

"Yu Li sat there, wearing a worried, frown-filled expression."

"Yan Jiecheng walked in, saw only one table of guests, then glanced at Yu Li's expression, let out a soft sigh, walked up to her, and asked:"

"Still not possible today?"

"Yu Li lifted her head, glanced at Yan Jiecheng, and said nothing."

"Yan Jiecheng let out another soft sigh, pulled over the chair opposite Yu Li, and sat down."

"Yu Li let out a long sigh and said:"

"I'm worried to death right now."

"You say, how did Teacher Ran suddenly come back?"

"He's back, that's all."

"He still wants to open a restaurant."

"He also wants to partner with Shazhu to open it."

"Doesn't she know I want Shazhu to put out the fire right now?"

"Yan Jiecheng: 'But isn't that the case?'"

"That's really too unlucky."

"However, it seems we now have an opportunity."

"Upon hearing that, Yu Li instantly became interested: 'What opportunity?'"

"Yan Jiecheng: 'Just now, Qin Huairu's mother-in-law told my mom that Shazhu's restaurant can't open.'"

"Yu Li exclaimed: 'No way? Why?'"

"Yan Jiecheng: 'Because Qin Huairu doesn't want Shazhu to give up his iron rice bowl.'"

"Yu Li frowned and asked: 'No, what right does she have?'"

"'She hasn't even married Shazhu.'"
