Siheyuan: Domineering life

Yang Jun has been very busy recently and stays at work every day.

He seldom takes care of household affairs, as Yi Qiu Shui is the only one who handles everything.

On this day, he was on a business trip and inspected the Shanghai Shipyard. A group of leaders of the shipyard accompanied him on the inspection.

The shipyard is huge, so huge that it seems boundless. Especially when you see that huge steel beast, you will sigh at the insignificance of human beings.

The workers were wearing coarse work clothes, with simple and joyful smiles on their faces. They either swung hammers or held electric welds, leaving traces of ingenuity on the hard steel. Amidst the flying sparks, one steel behemoth after another came into being.

On a whim, Yang Jun decided to go on board for inspection.

When they arrived at the deck which was more than ten stories high, they looked around and saw that the ship was full of workers working densely. They were busy and paid no attention to the inspection team at all.

A young craftsman was concentrating on polishing the side of the ship, sweat dripping down his forehead, but she seemed unaware. Her hands were covered with iron filings and sweat, but her eyes revealed pride and expectation for this ship and this career. The master next to her was carefully inspecting the production industry. The towering hull carried the fate of all of them, as well as the sweat and hope of the workers.

"Gao Jie?"

Yang Jun looked at the young female craftsman and seemed to think that she was Gao Jie.

Gao Jie is the daughter of Gao Jingtao. Gao Jingtao was originally a tutor hired by Gao Jingtao, who taught in his home for five or six years. He died of cancer ten years ago, leaving behind only this daughter.

Gao Jie had worked as his secretary for a period of time at the steel rolling mill. Later, when he was transferred to the Institute of Science and Technology, the two separated and had less contact afterwards.

However, Yang Jun vaguely remembered that she was married and had children, and it seemed that her husband was still in the system, and her work and family were pretty good.

"Boss, do you know this worker?"

The person who accompanied him on the inspection asked immediately.

"Like an old friend." Yang Jun said lightly.

However, this kind of occasion is not suitable for small talk. He has a special status and cannot make friends casually. His every move is related to everyone's fate and even determines the development direction of the shipyard. Therefore, he has always been very cautious in this regard.

"Boss, do you want me to call him over to you?" the accompanying staff asked flatteringly.

"Need not."

Yang Jun waved his hand and said, "Don't disturb them while they are working. Maybe I made a mistake."

After that, Yang Jun continued: "Let's go down."

"Okay, big boss."

The accompanying personnel had disappointed expressions on their faces.

After getting off the boat, Yang Jun refused the factory leaders' invitation to dinner and went back to the hotel alone.

Yang Jun took off his Zhongshan suit and prepared to take a shower to relax. At this time, someone came to report that the factory leader wanted to see him.

Yang Jun was immediately unhappy when he heard this.

He was somewhat displeased when someone came after him just after he left the shipyard. However, he was also worried that the factory leader might come after him at this time and might have something important to report. So, he dressed neatly again and received the factory leader in the living room.

Unexpectedly, the factory leaders did not wait for him, but waited for Gao Jie.

At this moment, Gao Jie took off her work clothes and changed into casual clothes. She looked completely different from her appearance in the shipyard. If she was a boat worker in the shipyard, then at this moment she looked like a modern girl. Her natural charm showed the maturity of her age, just like a ripe peach that was juicy and delicious.

She stood there with a nervous look on her face, lowering her head and fiddling with the corner of her clothes. It was obvious that she was very reluctant to see me.

"Gao Jie." Yang Jun called out.

Hearing the familiar voice, Gao Jie looked up, then his brows relaxed and he asked with a happy expression, "Big leader?"

"Big boss, why is it you?"

Gao Jie walked quickly to Yang Jun and looked at him nervously and happily.

The factory leader only told her to meet a leader, but did not tell her that the person she was going to meet was Yang Jun. She originally wanted to refuse, but she had to do something against her will for the sake of work.

What she didn't expect was that the leader she met was Yang Jun.

"Why can't it be me?"

After Yang Jun finished speaking, he turned around and glanced behind her: "Where are your factory leaders?"

Gao Jie blushed when he heard this, and then whispered, "It's just me."

"The factory leader sent me here and then left."

Upon hearing this, Yang Jun immediately understood what was going on.

The people below must have done this to curry favor with him. He is no longer surprised by such behavior.

"Don't worry about your leader. Since you are here, just accompany me for dinner. It's time for dinner." Yang Jun said.

"Okay, boss." Gao Jie was ecstatic when he heard this.

Yang Jun asked Luo Xiaojun to deliver the food to the room, and then he sat on the sofa and chatted with Gao Jie.

"How come you are working in a shipyard? When I met you today, I thought I was seeing things." Yang Jun said.

Gao Jie blushed in embarrassment when he heard this.

After a moment of hesitation, he said, "I have been working in the shipyard for three years, and now I am..."

After that, he mustered up the courage to say, "I'm divorced and don't want to stay in Beijing, so I came here to find a job. But I only have a high school diploma, no education and no work experience, so I can only be an ordinary worker in the shipyard."

"Are you divorced?"

Yang Jun was surprised when he heard this.

He remembered that Gao Jie and his wife had a very good relationship and were a good match for each other. In everyone's eyes, they were the epitome of a loving couple.

"Yes."

Gao Jie blushed and said, "Because I can't have children, so..."

"Just because of this, he wants to divorce you?" Yang Jun said.

"As a man, there are three main types of unfilial behavior: not having descendants and not having the greatest filial piety. I can understand why he did this." Gao Jie said with a wry smile.

"This is not grounds for divorce. It's irresponsible of a man to do this."

"Boss, I don't blame him at all. If I hadn't gotten divorced, I wouldn't have been able to see the outside world."

"Even if you are divorced, why did you quit your job and come here to be an ordinary boatman?" Yang Jun said, "If it really doesn't work, you can also come to me."

"I...have been bothering you, boss, and I feel bad about it. I don't want to cause you any more trouble."

"It's no trouble at all. It's no problem for me to find you a decent job." Yang Jun said.

Yang Jun smoked a cigarette and was silent for a while. He turned around and said to Luo Xiaojun who was standing beside him: "Go, teach that man a lesson."

"Yes, uncle."

Luo Xiaojun took the order and left.

"Big boss, that's not necessary."

Seeing this, Gao Jie stopped him and said, "Actually, I can understand why he did this. I don't hate him at all."

"You can forgive him, but I can't." Yang Jun said.

Yang Jun waved his hand and Luo Xiaojun left.

Seeing this, Gao Jie knew that he could not persuade Yang Jun and had to give up.

In fact, she also wanted to teach that man a lesson, but women are tolerant and forgiving by nature, which prevented her from hating her ex-husband. Today, Yang Jun wanted to teach that man a lesson. Although she refused, she was eager for Yang Jun to teach him a lesson.

"Hey, girl, Teacher Gao asked me to take care of you when he was dying, I...ah."

Yang Jun didn't know what to say. He could still remember the earnest look in Teacher Gao's eyes before he died. Yang Jun felt a little guilty towards him.

"Boss, I don't blame you. It's my own fault. I didn't handle my family relationships well. I have ended up like this. It's all my own fault," said Gao Jie.

"Don't tell me that." Yang Jun said, "I'll be here from now on, and I won't suffer any of this bullshit."

Gao Jie didn't say anything when he heard this, but his eyes were filled with tears of gratitude. Ever since his parents passed away, no one had treated him as well as they had. At this moment, he felt the long-lost warmth. Although this person was not his relative, he was better than a relative.

"Thank you, great leader."

Just then, the hotel waiter brought the meal over.

"Let's talk while we eat." Yang Jun stood up, took off his Mao suit, revealing the white shirt underneath, and sat down at the dining table with his sleeves rolled up.

Gao Jie is not someone else, there is no need for him to pretend, just do whatever makes him comfortable.

Gao Jie was also very observant. He took his coat and hung it on the hanger behind the door.

"I just ordered a few dishes at random. I don't know if you like them or not. Just make do with them." Yang Jun said.

"No, no, no, it's already very rich. I'm not picky about food."

Gao Jie sat down and the two of them ate face to face.

Then they ate and talked.

They started talking about how they first met, and when they were happy, they would laugh from time to time. Sometimes they would be in deep thought, lamenting the cruelty of fate.

"Don't go back to the shipyard. I will find you a new job in Sijiu City." Yang Jun said.

"I...I don't want to see him." Gao Jie stammered.

"Just because you don't want to see him, you don't want to go back to Sijiu City?"

Hearing this, Yang Jun relaxed for a moment, then said, "If you don't want to see him, then don't see him. I'll have him and his family driven out of the city."

"Why should I let you suffer this injustice?"

Upon hearing this, Gao Jie was so moved that he burst into tears and sobbed continuously.

"Thank you, boss. I...no one has said this to me for many years. I miss my father a little bit."

"Then you should treat me as your real brother from now on. As long as I am around, no one will dare to bully you." Yang Jun said.

"Ah."

Afterwards, the two of them ate and chatted.

After the meal, it was dark. After the waiter cleared the food away, Yang Jun and Gao Jie were the only ones left in the room.

The sky was getting darker and darker, and Gao Jie showed no intention of going back.

She first locked the door and then went to the bathroom.

After a while, the sound of water being released was heard.

"Boss, you've been tired all day, take a bath and relax."

When Yang Jun heard this, he relaxed for a moment.

He did not refuse, but followed her to the bathroom as if possessed.

Gao Jie undressed him with a red face. She was so familiar with him that it was like treating her own man. It didn't feel awkward at all.

Neither of them said anything, and they both seemed to agree.

When Yang Jun was sitting in the bathtub, Gao Jie followed him in.

The two of them still didn't speak, and seemed to be silently doing what a couple should do.

Yang Jun felt strange about his own behavior, but he couldn't bear to refuse.

If it were in the past, he would never have had anything to do with a married woman, but today, for some reason, he didn't reject Gao Jie at all, and didn't care at all that she had been married before.

The two of them had a tacit understanding like a couple who had been married for many years and didn't feel awkward at all.

Gao Jie catered to him as gently and considerately as possible...

……

the next day.

Yang Jun got up and touched the pillow with his hand, but Gao Jie was gone.

I got up and dressed, and found a note left on the coffee table.

"I'm going back first. I'm going to accept your kindness and go back to work in Sijiu City. You have a special status, and I can't cause you any trouble. I'll go back and wait for you first."

It’s over, and there’s a heart pattern at the end.

Yang Jun smiled bitterly, then tore the paper into pieces and threw it into the toilet.

While eating breakfast, Luo Xiaojun stood respectfully aside and reported on his work.

"Uncle Master, I have arranged for someone to send Miss Gao back."

"Ah."

Yang Jun hummed softly and continued eating breakfast.

"That man has learned his lesson. I have had him fired. I have also told Xiaowu to have his men take good care of him and have him leave Sijiu City as soon as possible..."

"Well, I see."

Yang Jun said: "Cancel all my trips for me."

"Yes, uncle."

"Miss Gao's matter..."

"Uncle Master, I understand. I have issued a gag order."

"Well, I can rest assured that you will do the work."

Last night, he was carefree and did whatever he wanted, but after the passion, he immediately calmed down. In fact, he was not worried about the consequences of bringing Gao Jie back home, but he didn't want people to know that he had found a married woman, which was a bit inconsistent with his style.

However, he couldn't help but recall the intelligence and maturity of Gao Jie, a feeling that Yi Qiu Shui and the others did not possess, and he liked that feeling very much.

"Choose a quiet yard for her, and provide her with a nanny, driver and so on." Yang Jun instructed.

"Uncle Master, I have asked someone to prepare it."

Yang Jun was very satisfied with Luo Xiaojun's efficiency. He was the only one who could get things done ahead of what he wanted.

Sometimes, it doesn’t matter whether a person is capable or not. What matters is whether this person suits your taste. If he only considers you in everything, there is no reason not to use him.

After finishing the meal, Yang Jun and his party went back home.

After returning to Yanjing, he did not go to find Gao Jie, but went straight home.

He likes this feeling of being close yet distant. It would be boring if two people were to be together every day.

When I got home, my family was having lunch.

Yang Jun washed his hands and sat down to eat together.

Today is Sunday and the children are not in class, so they are all at home.

He first glanced at the children's table and found that Yang Chengdao was not there.

"Lanlan, do you know where your brother has gone?" Yang Jun asked.

"do not know."

Yang Chenglan said, "I haven't seen him all day. Besides, how could my brother tell me his whereabouts?"

Hearing this, Yang Jun glared at her, then asked Yang Chengzhi, "Zhizhi, do you know where your elder brother went?"

"Hey, Dad, you're asking even though you already know the answer." Yang Chengzhi rolled his eyes.

"How can I ask when I already know the answer?" Yang Jun said.

Yang Chengzhi rolled her eyes and said, "My eldest brother must have gone to see his sister-in-law by now. You are asking even though you already know the answer."

Yang Jun snorted coldly when he heard this.

"He married a wife and forgot about his father. What an ungrateful person."

"Haha, this is just the beginning. It's just an engagement now. If I really marry her, I will probably cut off all ties with you."

Yang Jun: "You are also an ungrateful person, not much better than your elder brother."

"At least I'm not yet." (End of this chapter)
