Chapter 359: Teacher Ran: He Yuzhu, I Won't Let You Run Wild

After Shazhu left, Yi Zhonghai smiled, looked at Jia Zhangshi and asked:

"How's this move of mine?"

Jia Zhangshi gave Yi Zhonghai a thumbs-up and praised:

"High, really high, too high!"

"I never expected he'd actually take it."

Outside.

Qin Huairu was chopping vegetables when Shazhu walked over.

She glanced at Shazhu, and her face grew even darker.

Shazhu felt very displeased.

He quietly took a deep breath, trying to suppress his hot temper, and said:

"Well, I'm moving back to Houyuan tonight."

"Houyuan?"

"Good, then his big house can first let Bang Geng stay."

Qin Huairu let out a muffled grunt and said:

"It's none of my business; do whatever you want."

Shazhu: "No, although we have no relationship yet, I'd say I'm still a benefactor of your family."

"You're going to treat me like this?"

Qin Huairu coldly asked: "What attitude? What attitude do you want from me?"

"Precisely because we have no relationship, I'll treat you this way."

Shazhu thought a moment and asked: "Do you really want to get a marriage certificate with me?"

Hearing this, Qin Huairu froze.

She certainly had thought of that.

But she guessed Shazhu was just testing her.

Because she felt Shazhu still wasn't over Teacher Ran.

After thinking, she glanced at Shazhu, shook her head, and said:

"You misunderstood; I don't think that way now."

"At this age."

Shazhu: "You're serious? You're not pressuring me?"

Qin Huairu said nothing.

Shazhu: "If you don't speak, I'll take it as your consent."

"As long as you don't pressure me, I'll thank you."

After saying that, Shazhu put his hands in his pockets and walked away.

After walking a few steps, he inadvertently glanced over and saw Xiao Dang standing at his own doorstep.

He stopped, looked at Xiao Dang, and asked:

"Xiao Dang, why don't you say anything when you see Sha Shu?"

Xiao Dang didn't speak, but waved at him.

He glanced at Qin Huairu, then walked over to Xiao Dang.

"What's up? Are you out of money again?"

Upon entering the house, Shazhu immediately asked:

"Yeah, you just gave me two thousand, and I gave it all to my mom."

Upon hearing that, Shazhu felt a bit displeased and asked:

"How come your mom still treats me like this?"

"Neither yin nor yang, just annoying to look at."

"You said your family went into business, but behind my back you dealt with the Second Elder on that unreliable venture, losing all my money."

"I didn't say a word, yet I borrowed twenty thousand for you guys."

"You guys, in a blink, lent it all out."

Xiao Dang: "My mom is just like that."

"She's like this because she thinks you won't get a marriage certificate with her."

"If you get the certificate with her, I guarantee she'll smile at you every day."

Shazhu frowned and said: "Don't bring this up with me."

"I've said it—I can't turn this around quickly; it's too sudden."

"Before, I was the one begging your mom to get the certificate and marry, but she kept using your brother as an excuse and refused."

"Now it's fine—suddenly she turned around and begged me, and I'm still not used to it."

Xiao Dang: "Sha Shu, just tell me straight—are you still not used to it, or are you still hung up on Teacher Ran?"

Shazhu: "Adult matters, kids shouldn't be mixed in."

Xiao Dang: "Alright, then I know."

"However, if you don't marry my mom and still treat us as before, I respect your choice."

Shazhu chuckled: "That's right, don't worry."

"I won't forget you."

"Whatever I should help you with, I will definitely help."

Who let me always treat you as a maiden?

Xiao Dang: "Right, Sha Shu, you said Second Grandfather, my mom can help."

What about Third Grandfather's house?

Those few kids of theirs are all rich, each and every one.

Shazhu chuckled and said, "Useless, silly girl, these are the kids your Third Grandfather raised."

Money is money; it has nothing to do with virtue, conscience, or familial affection.

If you don't believe me, have your Third Grandfather and Third Grandmother go out and try to get a meal; see for yourself.

Those few kids of theirs all came out, saying, "Don't go, we'll take care of your meals; we're doing this out of kindness, so don't go out and embarrass us."

Just that.

Xiao Dang laughed and said, "All right, straight to the point."

Shazhu nodded and stood up.

Xiao Dang, seeing that, also hurriedly stood up and asked:

"Sha Shu, what are you up to?"

Shazhu: "Anything else?"

Xiao Dang thought for a moment and asked, "Do you really keep your word?"

Shazhu: "What words?"

Xiao Dang: "If you're with Teacher Ran, you won't forget us, will you?"

Shazhu: "Silly girl, of course I keep my word, rest assured."

I won't forget you.

Xiao Dang happily said, "Then that's good; otherwise, don't blame me and Huaihua for ignoring you."

Shazhu nodded and walked out.

Shazhu returned to the restaurant, thought for a moment, and headed toward Teacher Ran's office.

Anything?

Teacher Ran was looking at the ledger; seeing him come in, she didn't knock and felt somewhat displeased.

"Um, boss, I have something to discuss."

Shazhu walked up to Teacher Ran, hesitated a moment, and said.

"Speak up if you have something."

Teacher Ran didn't even lift her head.

Shazhu let out a soft sigh and said.

"I got an advance of two thousand yuan from the accounting department."

Teacher Ran nodded and said.

"The manager already told me about this."

"This time I'll let it slide, but don't make a habit of it."

Saying this, seeing Shazhu's dark expression, Teacher Ran continued.

"Oh, what I mean is that if you want an advance on your salary, you must get my approval."

Shazhu said somewhat glumly.

"Well, then I'm telling you now—could you give me another advance on my salary?"

"There's been a lot going on in our compound, and we're urgently in need of money."

Teacher Ran asked, "How much of an advance are you planning to take?"

Shazhu: "Thirty thousand isn't too little, fifty thousand isn't too much."

Teacher Ran frowned and asked, "He Yuzhu, I heard you just borrowed twenty thousand yuan together with your disciples and Liu Lan—is that true?"

Shazhu snapped, "Which bastard snitched?"

"Is it Liu Lan?"

"She doesn't want to work anymore, right?"

"She only borrowed three thousand from me."

Teacher Ran frowned again and said.

"He Yuzhu, when will you ever fix that temper of yours?"

"It wasn't Liu Lan who said it."

"I'll tell you once more: public is public, private is private; you can't settle private scores through public means."

"Just like last time, because the security guard listened to us and wouldn't let those people from the Siheyuan in, you retaliated by trying to get him fired—that's not allowed."

"Of course, you're the head of the back kitchen, but hiring and firing staff must be discussed with me."

"We can't let you run roughshod."

"Otherwise, everyone will feel insecure, and how can we work properly?"
