The conspiracy of the courtyard

Chapter 154 Complaining about Life

Lu Zixuan was also very confident in Cheng Xiaoman's method. Although his strategy was similar to hers, it was definitely not as good as Cheng Xiaoman's.

Not only does she know how to take advantage of people's weaknesses, she can also seize on the resentment of women who are unemployed at home. Perhaps she also wants to change men's prejudice against women through her own efforts.

"Xuanxuan, there is a big sister in Zhuzi's cafeteria, her name is Liu Lan. I have heard about her story and I feel very sorry for her.

Let me tell you about her situation. Do you think there is any way to help her out of this predicament?"

On the way home, Cheng Xiaoman mentioned Liu Lan, with whom she had had some interactions.

According to Cheng Xiaoman, Liu Lan took over her father-in-law's job and went to work at the steel rolling mill, doing odd jobs in the cafeteria.

She only received an apprentice's salary, but had to support a family of four. Moreover, her husband would spend money on drinking from time to time, and he never brought a penny for the family.

Although Liu Lan was never beaten or scolded, the cold violence of being ignored was even more torturous.

After hearing Cheng Xiaoman mention it, Lu Zixuan began to recall the plot, but the only information in his mind was that she was Deputy Director Li's mistress, and he got nothing else.

I can only ask He Yuzhu.

"Uncle, can you tell me more specifically?"

"I'm not familiar with her. She's just a handyman, steaming buns at the counter, and serving food and running errands when there's a reception.

The family conditions were indeed not that good. I saw her secretly bringing steamed bread home.

But those people in the cafeteria had leftover steamed bread, which they left for her out of pity for her.

Even so, the boss found out about this, and all the people in the cafeteria came forward to testify and give guarantees, so he was not fired.

Your aunt saw her secretly wiping away tears, so she mentioned it to you. Don’t worry too much about other people’s affairs, just take care of yourself.”

Lu Zixuan understood the meaning of He Yuzhu's words, and was also influenced by Chen Ping's teachings. He had no sympathy or compassion for anyone outside his family.

But in Lu Zixuan's impression, he seemed to have helped He Yuzhu in the original plot, which aroused his curiosity.

"Tell me about her personality and character. After all, she is your colleague. You never know when you might need her."

Seeing that Lu Zixuan insisted, He Yuzhu could only make a comment.

"She strikes me as someone who is quite righteous, eloquent, and familiar with the people in the factory.

She especially likes to ask about things, and she can tell everything clearly from the factory manager to the temporary worker.

Don't tell me, it might be useful to you. If you want to know something about the factory, ask her, she will definitely give you the answer."

He Yuzhu's words aroused his interest even more. He was in need of this kind of person who could inquire about things, so he immediately decided to find out more details and suggested going to the factory with He Yuzhu to take a look.

"Auntie, I heard from my uncle that you are a know-it-all in the factory. There is nothing in the factory that you don't know, right?"

During lunch time, Lu Zixuan had become familiar with Liu Lan and started to ask Liu Lan for information.

Liu Lan was somewhat dissatisfied when she heard He Yuzhu's evaluation of herself, but she was unable to suppress the gossip factor in her body.

"Don't listen to Chef He's nonsense, I just heard that when I was serving food to someone.

What? You want to know something? About whom? About the workshop or the cafeteria? I don't know much about office affairs. "

Lu Zixuan immediately denied it and guided him.

"No, I don't want to ask anything, I just think you are too wasteful.

I charge money for finding out things for others or passing on information, so I have to ask your price first before I dare to open my mouth. "

Liu Lan was confused. This was the first time she heard that asking questions could earn money. She asked Lu Zixuan to explain in detail.

Seeing that it worked so quickly, Lu Zixuan offered an idea:

"You don't know? That would be a waste of money.

You see, when women inquire about their men’s affairs at the factory, they usually suspect that they are having affairs outside;

When men ask about women, they usually want to have something happen with them;

If a leader asks about his subordinates' affairs, such as about their work mistakes or daily life details, he is looking for trouble.

If you just ask your subordinates about their attitude towards work, there is a possibility of promotion.

For example, if someone asks you about my uncle's personal preferences, cooking skills, personality, and family situation, this proves that someone wants to become your apprentice.

You can use these speculations to make money and make money on both ends. Do you think it makes sense?

When people ask you for news, they either do it for fun. In that case, there is no point in telling them and it will do you no good. You will only get the reputation of a gossip girl.

Either they want to get the information in exchange for some benefits, such as a meal, a cigarette, or to curry favor with the leader, all of these count.

But selling information is different. First of all, those who listen for fun mostly like to spread gossip. They won’t spend money, and you won’t have a bad reputation.

But it’s a different story for those who are willing to pay for information.

First of all, this information is more important, and secondly, the purchased information is more reliable.

Please think about it again, am I right?"

Liu Lan was stunned by Lu Zixuan's nonsense. After a long while, he slapped the table and said:

"So I wasted a lot of money. No wonder those matchmakers always come to ask me about the character of those people in the workshop. It's a big loss."

Liu Lan was so excited that it took a long time for her to calm down.

"No wonder Chef He always brags to me in the cafeteria that he has a wise guy at home.

I think you are not only a wise man, but also a god of wealth.

You should have heard about my family, right? Is there any way to make my lazy boss turn over a new leaf?

I felt a little unhappy. I had to work like a donkey every day to earn money, and then when I got home I had to serve them three sons.

He's a damn bastard. He doesn't even look at me.

When I was on a blind date, my father-in-law said that he could transfer his job to me. I agreed on impulse.

I was so happy at the time that I didn't ask about the situation clearly.

Later I found out that he was ill and could no longer work here, and his son was not doing well, so he didn't dare to hand over the job to him, so he let me do it.

In fact, I could have bought his job with some money. I was working as a temporary worker at the time and had some savings.

Now, she has sold herself and lost all her savings, leaving behind a paralyzed father-in-law, a husband who doesn't care about anything, and a child who knows nothing.

Why am I destined to be like this? Those lousy fortune tellers used to say that I was destined to be rich and noble. Whose destiny is this? Sigh…

Forget it, I'll just complain to you, but I still have to move on.

But the method you mentioned of selling information is really good. I will do that from now on.

From the matchmaker's perspective, I should make at least ten yuan a month, which is half a month's salary for me.

When auntie makes money, I will treat you to a meal."

After Liu Lan finished her complaints, she felt much more relieved.
