Chapter 409: Yan Jiecheng Can't Bear It Anymore

In the end, Sha Zhu and Li Huaide became good partners at work. Together, they contributed to the prosperity of the factory canteen and made important contributions to the development of the factory. In this small factory canteen, they interpreted the meaning of cooperation and growth with their actions.

Yan Jiecheng has always dreamed of opening a restaurant, and this idea has become stronger recently. However, the lack of funds has become the biggest obstacle to his dream. After careful consideration, he decided to borrow money from the neighbors in the yard one by one.

Yan Jiecheng first came to the home of the eldest uncle Yi Zhonghai. He knocked on the door nervously, and Yi Zhonghai opened the door and saw that it was Yan Jiecheng, with a puzzled look on his face.

"Jie Cheng, is there anything wrong?" Yi Zhonghai asked.

Yan Jiecheng rubbed his hands and said a little embarrassedly: "Uncle, I want to discuss something with you. I plan to open a restaurant, but I don't have enough money. I want to borrow some money from you. When the restaurant opens and makes money, I will pay you back as soon as possible."

Yi Zhonghai frowned, thought for a while and said, "Xie Cheng, it's not that I don't want to help you, I just don't have much spare money. Besides, opening a restaurant is not small, you have to think it through."

Yan Jiecheng said quickly: "Uncle, I have thought it through. I am confident that I can run a good restaurant. Please help me. I will definitely not let you down."

Yi Zhonghai was still a little hesitant, but looking at Yan Jiecheng's expectant eyes, he finally softened his heart. "Okay, I can only lend you a little, but you must work hard." Yi Zhonghai said.

Yan Jiecheng nodded repeatedly in gratitude: "Thank you, uncle. Don't worry, I will work hard."

After leaving Yi Zhonghai's house, Yan Jiecheng went to his second uncle Liu Haizhong's house. When Liu Haizhong heard that Yan Jiecheng wanted to borrow money, he immediately put on airs.

"Jie Cheng, opening a restaurant is no small matter. I need to think about it." Liu Haizhong said.

Yan Jiecheng said hurriedly: "Second Uncle, I know that opening a restaurant is risky, but I am really confident. Please help me, and when I make money, I will definitely pay you back double."

Liu Haizhong thought for a moment and said, "Okay, but I can't lend you too much. If you lose money, my money will be wasted."

Yan Jiecheng quickly assured: "Second uncle, don't worry, I will definitely not pay for it."

Then, Yan Jiecheng went to the home of his third uncle Yan Bugui. When Yan Bugui heard that Yan Jiecheng wanted to borrow money, his eyes turned and he began to calculate.

"Jiecheng, it's not impossible for me to borrow money, but I have to pay interest," said Yan Bugui.

Yan Jiecheng was a little embarrassed: "Uncle, I just opened a restaurant and I don't know if I can make money yet. You want interest. This is a bit inappropriate."

Yan Bugui was unyielding: "No, I didn't get this money from the wind. I won't lend it to you without interest."

Yan Jiecheng had no choice but to agree to Yan Bugui's request. "Okay, Third Uncle, as long as you are willing to lend me the money, I will definitely pay the interest."

Afterwards, Yan Jiecheng went to other neighbors' homes. Some neighbors rejected him directly, while others said they could only lend him a small amount of money. Although Yan Jiecheng was a little disappointed, he was still grateful for their help.

After some efforts, Yan Jiecheng finally raised some funds. Although there was still a gap from his goal, he saw hope. He decided to think of other ways to open the restaurant.

While borrowing money from everywhere, Yan Jiecheng came to Xu Damao's house. He knocked on the door with a glimmer of hope. Xu Damao opened the door and saw that it was Yan Jiecheng, with a hint of impatience on his face.

"What are you doing here?" Xu Damao asked unhappily.

Yan Jiecheng smiled and said, "Xu Damao, I have something to discuss with you. I want to open a restaurant, but I don't have enough money. I want to borrow some money from you. I will pay you back as soon as the restaurant makes money."

When Xu Damao heard this, he immediately sneered: "You want to open a restaurant? Do you have the ability? I dare not lend you the money. Who can I turn to if I lose money?"

Yan Jiecheng said hurriedly: "Xu Damao, don't worry, I opened the restaurant only when I was sure of it. Just help me, I will be grateful to you."

Xu Damao was relentless: "Humph, what's the point of being grateful? I want my money back. You should go find someone else. I don't have any spare money to lend you."

Yan Jiecheng was irritated by Xu Damao's words, and his face turned ugly: "Xu Damao, don't be so heartless. We are all neighbors, and we should help each other."

Xu Damao crossed his arms over his chest and said sarcastically, "Oh, now you remember we're neighbors? I've never seen you treat me so well. I'm telling you, I just won't lend it to you, what can you do to me?"

Yan Jiecheng's anger was ignited all of a sudden. He pointed at Xu Damao and said, "Xu Damao, don't go too far. If you don't want to lend it, then don't lend it. Why are you saying these unpleasant words?"

Xu Damao was not to be outdone: "I am telling the truth. You want to open a restaurant when you have no skills. That is simply wishful thinking."

The two of them argued back and forth, and the argument became more and more intense. Yan Jiecheng was so angry that his face turned red, but Xu Damao refused to give in.

"Who do you think you are? You want to borrow money to open a restaurant, but you don't even know your own weight." Xu Damao continued to mock.

Yan Jiecheng could no longer bear it and rushed forward to hit Xu Damao. Seeing this, Xu Damao quickly stepped back, still cursing.

Just as the two were about to fight, the neighbors who heard the noise came over to try to stop them.

"Stop arguing, talk it over if you have anything to say."

"We are all neighbors, why make such a fuss?"

After everyone's persuasion, Yan Jiecheng and Xu Damao temporarily stopped arguing. But the conflict between them deepened, and the atmosphere in the whole courtyard became tense.

Yan Jiecheng left Xu Damao's house in anger, and vowed to himself that he would open a restaurant to show Xu Damao his ability. Xu Damao looked at Yan Jiecheng's back with a smug look on his face, thinking that he had the upper hand again.

Yan Jiecheng returned home angrily and sat down on a chair, his heart full of resentment towards Xu Damao. When his wife saw him like this, she hurriedly asked what happened.

Yan Jiecheng told his wife everything about what happened at Xu Damao's house, and his wife was very angry after hearing it. "This Xu Damao is too much! Not only did he not lend money, but he also said such nasty things."

Yan Jiecheng gritted his teeth and said, "Humph, just wait and see. Wait until my restaurant opens, and then we'll see what he has to say."

However, the funding problem had not yet been solved, and Yan Jiecheng was in distress again. He began to reconsider his plan, wondering if there were other ways to raise enough funds.
