Siheyuan: The Ambition of Sanzang

Chapter 387. 65. Enemies are not friends, friends are not enemies

Seeing Sanzang's enthusiastic actions, Dou Zhishan felt a sense of being trusted and valued spontaneously, and said with a big smile, "You're welcome, you're all real relatives, and one family doesn't talk about two families. I want to ask How big is your woodcarving factory going to be?"

"Hmm... how big is the scale? I don't have a very real concept, but now I can get 400 square meters of logs a month, and the first batch of logs will arrive in about two months." Sanzang let go of Dou Zhishan big hands.

"I see, what are the specifications of this Buddha statue and Buddhist altar? What is the style?" Dou Zhishan said while motioning his wife to bring a pen and paper.

"Uncle, I'm sorry, I'll have to go to Dongwa in a few days to get these things." Sanzang spread his hands.

"Okay." Dou Zhishan took the pen and paper from his wife, and smiled wryly, "Then where is your woodcarving factory going to be located?"

"How about Pingchang District? I also have a communication equipment company there." Sanzang put his hand on the dining table and tapped lightly.

"Well, it's a little far away." Dou Zhishan frowned inadvertently.

"I understand what you mean. When the factory is completed, I will build a batch of staff dormitories, and at the same time give the workers a bus subsidy every month." Sanzang picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip.

"Your idea is very good, but it seems that I can only contact some people who want to work for the time being, and I can't do any substantive work." Dou Zhishan pondered for a while, and said with a wry smile.

"Haha, that's true. I have something to do when I come back from Dongwa. I came to you today mainly to deliver a letter to you, and I will check your tone by the way." Sanzang gently put down the teacup in his hand.

"What about me? Do I still have to go to work in a hardwood furniture factory?" Dou Xiaogu asked weakly.

"Hold on for a few more days, and by the way, help me investigate who are skilled workers among the temporary workers, and ask them if they have any thoughts on changing jobs.

When I come back from Dongwa, you will come and run errands for me, and the wages will be paid at the standard of 50 yuan before the woodcarving factory starts work. Sanzang said gently.

"Okay, thank you, brother." Dou Xiaogu clasped his fists and saluted Sanzang.

"No, they are all relatives." Sanzang waved his hands, stood up and said to Dou Zhishan and Dou's mother, "Uncle, aunt, it's getting late, I'll go back first, and I'll come to see you in a few days. "

"Go back now? It's not too late to leave after dinner." Dou Zhishan hurriedly stood up and asked to stay.

"That's right, my preparations are almost done." Mother Dou wiped her apron with her hands.

"No need, the children are about to leave school, I have to pick them up." Sanzang waved his hand and declined.

"Okay, this is an important matter, then I'll see you off." Dou Zhishan hurried to the front to open the door.

Sanzang drove away from Jinyu Alley, and didn't mention it since he went to pick up the children from school.

The next day, at 9 a.m., Sanzang was sitting in the office of the HSZ building to handle business. He picked up the phone at hand and dialed a number, "Zhiyuan, come here right away."

"Ok."

After a while, Han Zhiyuan came in from the next room with a folder in his hands. Before he could get to him, he could smell the fragrance, "Boss, you are looking for me."

"Well, I have two envelopes here. You put them in the security room on the first floor. A man named Liu Guangtian and a man named Yan Jiefang will come to find me later.
You tell the security master, just hand over the two envelopes to them separately, and I will disappear. Sanzang ignored Han Zhiyuan's winking eyes and said coolly.

"Oh, what's inside? It can't be money, right?" Han Zhiyuan took the envelope with both hands and squeezed it.

"That's right, an envelope costs 500 yuan." Sanzang snapped his fingers, looked her up and down, and said, "Today's clothes are not bad, but the smell of perfume is too strong. Also, don't tell your boss winking."

"Hey." Han Zhiyuan smiled softly, turned around and walked away with brisk and elegant steps.

Sanzang looked at Han Zhiyuan's little daughter with a smile and shook his head, picked up the phone at hand and dialed another number, "Xiao Yue, come here."

"Eh."

After a while, Gao Yue, who looked heroic in a black suit and a white shirt, walked in with a folder, "Boss, are you looking for me?"

Sanzang looked at Gao Yue in front of him who was already looking like a strong professional woman, and nodded in satisfaction, "First of all, I would like to express my verbal commendation to you for completing the tasks I gave you in just a few days, haha."

"No need, these are all within the scope of my work." Gao Yue waved his hand modestly.

"Okay, no kidding, did your brother come to see me these days?" Sanzang thought of a person who might become an "academic master".

"No, why did he come to you as a teacher of philosophy?" Gao Yue asked suspiciously.

"Oh, it's nothing, has anyone come to see me these days?" Sanzang picked up the Longjing tea in front of him and took a sip.

"Yes, I wrote it down for you." Gao Key opened the folder in his hand, "The day before yesterday, a person from the City Chess Academy came to send an invitation card, inviting our chess club to participate in an amateur tournament."

"Do you think we should join? It seems that the strength of our chess club is very bad. It's so strange that there are no masters to join with such good conditions?" Sanzang felt that his painstaking efforts were a bit in vain.

"Of course I have to participate. What are you afraid of if you lose? We happened to go to the scene to advertise, distribute leaflets and so on. If the masters know about it, they might come to join us.

Since we distributed leaflets on Xiushui Street, the number of foreigners visiting the tea restaurant on the third floor has suddenly increased, and Manager Qin is grinning from ear to ear every day. "

"Okay, then you can lead the team, your boss, I can't afford to lose this person."

"Okay, I'm just a nobody, it doesn't matter, what name will we use then?"

"How's the Gathering Friends Restaurant?"

"Not good. After losing chess, others will say that we are idiots. Why don't we just call us friends."

"Well, whatever you want, who else has come to see me?" Sanzang sat on the boss's chair and turned left and right.

"Well, it's similar to this matter. The Municipal Fencing Association wants to hold a public exhibition match in our kendo hall. Our venue is the best and suitable for TV shooting."

"Okay, promise them, is there anyone else looking for me?" Sanzang waved his hand.

"Several students said they were your classmates, and thanked you for installing the phone for them. There is also the principal Tian of your school who asked you to go to the school when you are free. He has something to ask you.

Several others are factory directors or something. They didn’t meet you, so they all left a phone number and asked you to call them when you come back. Well, I’ll write it down for you. "Gao Yue handed Sanzang the folder in his hand.

"Hey, there are so many, I don't know many of them." Sanzang scratched his head as he looked at the list above.

"I think those people are all well-connected people, they all ride in small cars, and they don't even blink their eyes when ordering food in our restaurant."

"Of course, the factory they manage is several times or even ten times that of our communication company. They are not easy to mess with."

"Then why are they looking for us? Are they messing things up?"

"Some are here to make trouble, and some are here to sincerely talk about cooperation. They are friends rather than enemies, and enemies are not friends." Sanzang sighed.

"What do you mean?" Gao Yue was confused.

　thank you very much!
