Chapter 2286

is already thinking about advertising.

The longer He Yuzhu was in the underworld, the more disappointed he became with most people's humanity.

In fact, he sometimes hates himself.

He's too sensitive.

They are unwilling to suffer losses in many things.

They always calculate gains and losses very clearly.

Aside from his children and the rain, it seems he never truly loved anyone in his life.

This refers to taking the initiative, meaning that in cultivating a relationship, it is always the other person who starts to make the first effort.

His relationships with Liu Ting and Lou Xiao'e were actually similar.

He was lucky to meet two wonderful women.

Otherwise, it's hard to say whether he'll ever find someone completely trustworthy in love in his lifetime.

Of course, when He Yuzhu truly felt that others were kind to him.

He will also bend down at the right time, willing to give more love and more kindness to the person who is good to him.

Just like He Yuzhu now, a dignified principal, after soaking his feet in the same foot basin with his wife.

Liu Ting lifted one of her delicate feet, while He Yuzhu picked up a towel from the side and carefully wiped his wife's feet.

Not just wiping.

After wiping her feet, he placed Liu Ting's delicate feet on his lap and pushed her trouser legs up with his large hand.

With his thumb like a file and his other four fingers like pincers, he began to massage his wife's taut calf muscles.

Judging from his movements, he must be quite skilled.

There's no way around it; the blame has to be placed on the MCA.

As the lobby manager, Yu Li often has to stand.

One time, Yu Li returned home and felt a cramp in her calf.

Ma Hua, who dotes on his wife, gave Yu Li a massage.

From then on, the routine of the couple massaging their wife's legs when they came home became a regular occurrence in the Ma family.

Yu Li told Liu Ting about it, and Liu Ting went home and told He Yuzhu about it as a joke.

He Yuzhu will always remember the undisguised envy in Liu Ting's eyes when she said how good Ma Hua was to Li.

He Yuzhu understood immediately.

She wanted everything that other women had.

What can He Yuzhu, this old man, do?
He could only use the strength he had for cooking large pots of vegetables to massage Liu Ting.

Over time, Liu Ting's initial embarrassment turned into a daily routine.

Including the time He Yuzhu went to the south, Liu Ting told him on the phone that even without He Yuzhu massaging her legs, she still felt her calves were swollen.

There were bound to be cracks in the couple's relationship, but neither of them gave up or chose to engage in a cold war.

Instead, they did their best, with great care and attention, to repair the crack.

"Phew... that force was finally broken."

No, I need to get a new one.

As people get older, they're never as good as they were when they were young. Liu Ting, having gotten the better deal, still acted innocent and stretched out her other leg as well.

At this time, He Yuzhu was definitely not just focused on working.

He casually mentioned Yan Jiekuang's matter.

Upon hearing this, Liu Ting chuckled and said, "I heard from Hua Ni that Teacher Yan and his wife now treat Yan Jiekuang like a thief."

"Hua Ni, what does she want from you?" He Yuzhu was taken aback when he heard the name Hua Ni.

After all, Ma Jiahua has not appeared in He Yuzhu's family life for a long time.

Some friends, as time goes by, feel uncomfortable and then gradually drift apart.

Like Huani and Liu Ting.

It turns out that when Huani's son, Gou Dan, was in a precarious position, Huani would frequently find opportunities to visit Liu Ting.

Later, Gou Dan's career in the neighborhood improved, and his family was indeed a bit less well-off than the He family. As a result, the relationship between the two families gradually cooled down.

There is no such thing as 'not needing people to face backwards'.

After all, He Yuzhu hadn't helped Gou Dan much.

But to say that I didn't help is debatable.

Putting everything else aside, Gou Dan is now highly valued by Director Chen at the Nanluoguxiang Subdistrict Office, not only because of his good abilities.

It was also because of Gou Dan's relationship with He Yuzhu.

This wasn't just He Yuzhu's wild guess; it was something that Director Chen had personally asked him about at the high-ranking leader's house.

The person was just asking casually if He Yuzhu knew someone named Ma Aiguo.

He Yuzhu was just saying it casually, that the child was his old neighbor and had always been very sensible since he was a child.

Then, not long after, Ma Aiguo was promoted one rank.

He became a deputy director of the Nanluoguxiang Business Management Office, specifically responsible for managing the transformation of factories, warehouses, and shops under the jurisdiction of the street office.

Of course, Director Chen gave Ma Aiguo a high position because Ma Aiguo is indeed the kind of talent the subdistrict office needs right now.

But while there are many talented horses, without a discerning eye to recognize their worth, few people are willing to pay a high price to buy them.

In any case, He Yuzhu did not believe that Ma Aiguo's promotion was due to his recommendation.

He no longer needs such small favors.

"...That's exactly what Huani was saying."

Teacher Yan's wife burst into tears shortly after returning from the Intermediate People's Court.

She let slip that when she got home, she saw Yan Jiekang rummaging through their bed and under the bed. While enjoying He Yuzhu's massage, Liu Ting casually mentioned two things to him.

One is a pastry shop owned by Ma Aiguo Food Factory, which is considering getting into He's Restaurant.

The goal wasn't to boost restaurant sales, but rather to create a promotional effect.

After all, those who could afford to eat at He's Restaurant were all wealthy people in Beijing.

If restaurants could offer their factory's pastries as desserts and snacks, making them a staple at some banquets...

The advertising effect was fantastic.

Ma Aiguo went to talk to them, but they couldn't reach an agreement at first.

Then there was the story of Huani seeking out Liu Ting to reminisce.

Another one is the matter of Yan Jiekuang stealing money from his parents.

Family scandals should not be aired in public.

Xu Damao might not know as much about this as Huani does.

However, He Yuzhu certainly wasn't satisfied with this story.

He couldn't help but ask, "Did Yan Jiekuang actually manage to steal it?"

Liu Ting rolled her eyes at him and said angrily, "How should I know?"

He Yuzhu flipped his wife's leg to the ground, and their friendship capsized in an instant.

Not only did he capsize the boat, but he also put his hand under his nose and sniffed it, saying disdainfully, "A pair of stinky feet."

These words infuriated Liu Ting, who retorted, "When you fall asleep, I'll shove it in your mouth..."

At the Yan family home, Yan Jiekuang looked embarrassed. He held a bowl of mixed grain rice in his hand, not having touched it, and explained with feigned helplessness, "Dad, I really haven't touched your money."

That day I was out of cigarettes, so I thought I'd go grab a pack and have a smoke.

Why do you all look at me like I'm a thief the moment I get home?

"Hmph..." Yan Bugui didn't think of answering, he just snorted coldly.

That was his answer.

He has three sons and one daughter, and from childhood to adulthood, there has never been a case of someone sneaking into their room alone.

So how can he believe it? (End of Chapter)
