Chapter 2374
Three Shakes and Light Laughter
He Yuzhu's words were full of an old-fashioned air.
However, Xu Damao didn't dare to utter a single sarcastic remark.
He was used to hanging out with He Yuzhu.
Forgot about He Yuzhu's low-ranking position at the factory; a section chief-level director is really no match for He Yuzhu.
Even if that Zhang guy is from the business administration system,
Those of them who are in business usually treat that person like royalty when they see him.
But in front of He Yuzhu, he probably wouldn't even have the right to sit.
This society is just so unfair.
"That's not right!"
"Brother Zhu, last time that Boss Zhang lost his temper with you, why didn't you mention that you knew his father?" Xu Damao asked again, surprised.
Last time He Yuzhu treated those bosses to tea, he changed his mind at the last minute, saying that the market would restrict everyone's business projects, which led to him being scolded by several bosses.
This included the one surnamed Zhang.
He Yuzhu shook his head and chuckled, "Business is business. The time I invited everyone for tea, we were discussing business matters."
It's normal for people to turn against me if I bring it up without prior notice.
If we don't talk about business, just look at your friends, their personalities.
Each of them had a little money in their hands and acted like they owned the place.
If I argue with them, wouldn't that be putting myself on their level?
To put it bluntly, getting rich first doesn't mean you're truly rich. These people will eventually run into a tough opponent.
I'm not his father, why should I lecture him?
He Yuzhu's words were not only an explanation of the previous problem to Xu Damao, but also a way of giving Xu Damao a warning.
Xu Damao had always behaved quite well in front of him, knowing his place and being polite.
But that doesn't mean Xu Damao behaves the same way in front of others.
Those who got rich first all had somewhat arrogant personalities.
Thinking they had a little money in their pocket, maybe five or six figures...
There are a few small backers behind him.
They thought they were the biggest in Beijing.
Last time, even though she knew He Yuzhu was the principal of the CNC Academy, she still dared to yell at him in public.
In He Yuzhu's eyes, that kind of person would die sooner or later without even knowing how.
The money they earn now is merely being held temporarily in someone else's purse.
After He Yuzhu finished speaking, he saw Xu Damao looking at him with surprise and a hint of fear in his eyes.
He couldn't help but laugh and said, "Don't worry, I don't have that kind of free time."
Fighting with that kind of person would only tarnish my reputation.
But I also want to remind you, Jiefang, to avoid getting too close to those people.
It's not beneficial.
To put it bluntly, given my current position, I have to maintain a respectful demeanor when I go out, and I dare not use my power to intimidate others.
What gives you the right?
Based on the little money you've made in the last two years that you can't see in the light of day?
"Da Mao, you've been through the corporate world, you should understand these things."
He Yuzhu spoke casually, chatting with Xu Damao in a normal tone.
But it gave Xu Damao goosebumps all over.
He couldn't help but shudder, his mind racing as he wondered if he had ever said anything inappropriate when he was hanging out with those people.
He Yuzhu's reminder was for no other reason than because of something that the man surnamed Zhang had said last time.
According to Zhang, if he had the same temperament he had when he was in the pigeon market, and encountered someone like He Yuzhu who went back on his word, he would have sent him to the Yongding River to feed the turtles long ago.
He Yuzhu was all smiles at the time, not even blushing.
But in my heart, I had already sentenced that person to death.
Of course, he didn't need to lift a finger.
He was certain that the man surnamed Zhang wouldn't have acted so arrogantly in front of him alone, but he must have threatened him in front of others.
So in two years, this kind of person will either die or be severely injured.
If He Yuzhu is petty, he can ask someone to pass on a message to him about who should be feeding the turtles in the Yongding River.
Of course, he most likely wouldn't do something so pointless.
Whether that man surnamed Zhang will live to see two years later is another matter entirely.
Of course, now that we've brought this up, we need to figure out how to extricate Xu Damao and his son from this situation.
Although Xu Damao had safely passed through the 1980s in his previous life.
But in his previous life, Xu Damao didn't make a fortune for long after the reform and opening up, nor did he live a life of arrogance for long.
That was completely different from my previous life.
"Brother Zhu, are you saying that the higher-ups might be targeting us..." Xu Damao became increasingly alarmed as he thought about it, and couldn't help but ask He Yuzhu.
He Yuzhu waved his hand, giving him a look as if he were an idiot, and said, "How would I know about what's going on up there?"
I'm just telling you the simplest way to conduct yourself in society.
We've been through thick and thin together.
Have you ever seen someone who can't even hold two ounces of sesame oil in their belly, yet can still be smug their whole life?
Not all of them are arrogant, wishing they were the best in the world.
Once their moment in the spotlight fades, they won't even be able to hope for a good outcome.
So, we still need to be careful about what we need to be careful about.
Don't think that just because things have changed, we can act with impunity.
The world cannot change!
When He Yuzhu said these words, a faint smile played on his lips. This air of strategic brilliance was something he could only display in front of Xu Damao.
Otherwise, why would he like Xu Damao, this pathetic bastard full of flaws?
It's precisely because he can put on such a show of bravado in front of Xu Damao that he can do so so well.
Showing off in front of childhood friends or arch-enemies to gain a sense of accomplishment is one of the perverse pleasures of adults.
It's like when you were a child, standing with your friends under the willow trees by the river, taking out your toy guns, and shooting down a dragonfly that was resting on a willow branch that was swaying gently in the wind, sending it into the water.
Xu Damao's expression was very complex, a mixture of conflict and unease.
He Yuzhu didn't urge him on, and even though he was blocking the middle of the school gate, he didn't think about moving aside to make way.
He's the only one in the school qualified to drive a car to and from get off work; all the other teachers ride bicycles. Who does he need to give way to?
This is true understated flaunting.
Even if it were Zhang's immediate supervisor who parked his car in the middle of the gate of the CNC Academy at this time, security guards would have already come over to ask him to leave.
"Brother Zhu, does that mean that after I get to Shengli, I should have less contact with those people?" Xu Damao couldn't quite grasp the situation, so he still asked He Yuzhu.
He Yuzhu also understood why these people had gotten together; to put it bluntly, it was because they shared resources.
For example, if someone surnamed Zhang encounters someone who wants to buy roller skates, he can take them to Xu Damao's stall and benefit from both sides.
vice versa.
It's fair to say that a large portion of their wholesale and retail business comes from referrals from competitors who don't even sell the same product category.
This is probably what Xu Damao is worried about.
He was afraid that if he really stopped talking to those people, his future business would be affected.
He Yuzhu shook his head and chuckled for the third time today, "Business is fine, let's not talk about brotherly affection." (End of Chapter)
