Siheyuan: Domineering life

After dinner.

The children went to the living room to watch TV. Recently, Journey to the West was playing, and they watched TV on time. Even a group of women sat there and watched TV while eating melon seeds with great interest.

"If we are destined to meet, we will meet even though we are thousands of miles apart; if we are not destined to meet, we will not meet even though we are face to face..."

“La la la… la la la… la la la la la…”

This popular old song is loved by people of all ages, especially when the interlude is played from time to time in the middle, which leads everyone to sing along.

Yang Jun did not join in the fun. Having become accustomed to all kinds of high-tech in his later life, he had no interest in watching TV at all. After sitting there and watching for ten minutes, he felt bored and stood up to go back.

Just when I was halfway there, I heard the sound of big feet behind me.

Yang Jun looked back and saw Nalan Qingmeng chasing after him.

"Please be busy. You are pregnant." Yang Jun stood there waiting for her.

"Hey, it's okay, I just got pregnant."

Nalan Qingmeng put her arm around Yang Jun's arm and said coquettishly.

"You don't want to watch such a good TV?" Yang Jun asked.

Nalan Qingmeng blushed slightly and said shyly, "No matter how good the TV is, it's not as good-looking as you."

Hearing this, Yang Jun said with a straight face, "You are getting more and more frivolous. You are not feeling well right now, so don't do anything stupid."

Nalan Qingmeng: "I didn't do anything wrong. Anyway, I don't care. It's my turn today. You stay with me."

Yang Jun put his arm around her waist and said, "Okay, just keep me company, don't do anything stupid."

"OK."

Afterwards, the two went to Nalan Qingmeng's yard.

After arriving, the first thing Nalan Qingmeng did was to run water for Yang Jun to take a bath.

Then, he followed in.

It is impossible to put a piece of fresh meat in front of a hungry wolf and expect it to be obedient.

……

The next day, after breakfast.

Aunt Guo and Ding Qiunan came.

They have been coming quite frequently recently, and each time they bring large and small bags of gifts, saying that they are here to see Yang Chengzhi.

Yang Chengzhi was not as pretty as imagined, nor was she the most obedient. The main reason was that she was the daughter of Yang Jun, and others looked up to her. The Guo family also counted on Yang Chengzhi to maintain their reputation, so they did their best to curry favor with the Yang family.

Since the engagement, the Guo family's situation has improved. Old friends who didn't often visit each other before have started to visit each other, and those who they didn't know have started to take the initiative to interact with them. In a word, the Guo family has regained its former glory.

All of this was brought by Yang Chengzhi, so they were very grateful to this daughter-in-law and came to visit her every now and then.

"Aunt Guo, Qiunan, please sit down. I'm going fishing."

Yang Jun chatted for a while and then went to the river to fish.

A group of women were chatting, repeating the same things over and over again, saying how sensible your children are, how beautiful you are, how well brought up you are, and so on. It was all commercial flattery. Yang Jun couldn't stand it any more, so he had to leave.

Besides, Aunt Guo and Ding Qiunan had come here more than once or twice, and he couldn’t always accompany them.

"Go ahead, Jun'er, let's just chat as women and you go about your business." Aunt Guo said.

"Brother-in-law, go and do your own thing. You don't have to accompany us." Ding Qiunan.

Yang Jun smiled and nodded, then went to the river.

When he arrived at the river, someone was already waiting for him there.

At this moment, the man was sitting there, looking at the chessboard, playing chess with himself.

"Sorry for the long wait." Yang Jun said.

After saying that, he sat directly on the other side of the chessboard.

The person who came was none other than Ma Juzi, and he came here to report on his work.

"I just got here a while ago."

Ma Juzi smiled, then squinted at Yang Jun and said, "A kill?"

"no problem."

Yang Jun waved his hand, motioning him to go first.

Seeing this, Ma Juzi smiled, then took the chess piece and made the first move.

Given Yang Jun's poor chess skills, you still dare to let him go first. I don't know where he got the confidence from.

"Brother, I just came back from Hainan, and business there is pretty good."

The two of them were playing chess and chatting at the same time.

Since the death of Ma Zhanshan, no one has been taking care of the business in Hainan, so Yang Jun can only hand over the business to Ma Juzi.

During this period, Ma Juzi had been managing business in Hainan and had just come back after sorting out the business in various places.

"Tell me about it."

Yang Jun said, staring at the chessboard.

"Well, in the past half month, I have sorted out the business in Hainan. There are 18 three-star hotels, 23 large beach amusement parks, 35 restaurants, swimming pools, gyms, sanatoriums... etc. In total, there are more than 200 businesses, and I have sorted them out."

"Master Sun, your business is doing pretty well. So far, I haven't found a single loss-making company. I took a quick look and it seems that your companies have a total of more than 70 billion in assets."

After saying that, he took a list and handed it to Yang Jun.

Yang Jun took it, took a quick look at it, and put it aside.

"I trust you to do the job. Thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard. It's my duty to do things for you."

Yang Jun: "Give this bill to your sister-in-law later."

"I know, brother."

Yi Qiu Shui is in charge of the family business. He has no time to do such trivial matters. Except for the steel plant, he doesn't care about anything else. Even the steel plant, he gave full authority to Shang Tielong and didn't ask how it was run.

"Brother, there is something else I want to tell you."

Ma Juzi hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to tell Yang Jun the truth.

Yang Jun was stunned for a moment when he heard this.

"You said."

"It's like this... This time when I went to sort out the business, I found that a lot of funds didn't match. It seemed like someone had tampered with it."

When Yang Jun heard this, his men paused for a moment, then asked, "Do you know who it is?"

Ma Juzi hesitated for a moment, then uttered a few words: "I suspect it was Sun Zhaofu."

"sure?"

This Sun Zhaofu is Sun Zhaocai's younger brother, and the oldest child in the Sun family besides Sun Zhaocai and Sun Zhaodi. When his father died some time ago, Yang Jun met him. To be honest, Yang Jun did not have a good impression of him. This man seemed to be honest, but in fact he had a lot of bad intentions.

This guy is in the system and helps Sun Dashan run the business when he has nothing to do. I guess it was at that time that he did something.

"Sure and sure."

Ma Juzi said: "I have secretly investigated and visited the place, and I am sure that he was the one who did it."

When Yang Jun heard this, he hesitated.

"How many?"

"Well, about 10 million or so."

Yang Jun frowned when he heard this. Fortunately, it wasn't too much.

No matter what, Sun Zhaofu is Sun Dashan's son and his junior. If anyone dares to take his cheese, he will at least break his hands and feet. But Sun Zhaofu can't do that. No matter for the sake of Sun Dashan's face, or for the sake of Sun Zhaocai and Sun Zhaodi, he can't do anything.

Fortunately, it was discovered early and the loss was only more than 10 million, which was not too much.

Yang Jun pondered for a moment and said, "Let him spit it out. If he doesn't cooperate, send him inside."

Upon hearing this, Ma Juzi opened his mouth a few times.

He glanced at Sun Zhaocai who was gnawing on chicken feet not far behind him, and finally said nothing.

"I know, brother."

After that, Ma Juzi said, "Brother, I'm a little busy at the mine. Can the business in Hainan be handed over to someone else? Or can you see if there is any suitable candidate from my sister-in-law's side?"

When Yang Jun heard this, he rolled his eyes at him.

"What, are you scared?"

"No, there's nothing I'm afraid of. I'm just too busy and can't take care of it." Ma Juzi explained in a panic.

"Humph!"

Hearing this, Yang Jun snorted coldly and said, "Don't think you are innocent. I just don't care about you."

"Brother, you are wrongly accusing me. I am a clean person and have never touched your money. I swear to God." Ma Juzi said anxiously.

"Oh, really? Why is this year's entertainment expense 200 million more than last year?"

"I... if we entertain more guests, the funding will naturally increase." Ma Juzi looked panicked.

When Yang Jun heard this, he just smiled.

"Juzi, unless you don't reach out, you will definitely leave a trace if you do."

"The reason why I didn't touch you is not because I couldn't bear to do that, but because you are still very loyal to me. Compared to that little bit of money, I think loyalty is more important."

When Ma Juzi heard this, sweat kept flowing down his forehead and the clothes on his back were soaked.

He stood up involuntarily and stood straight in front of Yang Jun, waiting for the punishment of fate like an elementary school student waiting to be scolded.

"Brother, I was wrong."

Yang Jun just smiled after hearing this.

"Juzi, I've said before that the main reason I didn't touch you is because you are quite loyal to me. You can always complete the tasks I ask you to do. That little bit of money is my reward to you."

"but……"

Speaking of this, Yang Jun paused.

"Brother, I know. If there is a next time, even if you don't punish me, I will bring my head to you."

"I'll make up the money later."

Yang Jun waved his hand and said, "Not really. I told you, that little bit of money is a reward for you."

"Remember, this is the last time. Don't let me down again."

"Brother, I get it. There won't be a next time." Ma Juzi felt as if he had been pardoned.

"Okay, sit down and play this game with me." Yang Jun raised his hand, motioning him to sit down.

Ma Juzi looked at Yang Jun nervously, then slowly sat down.

His back was straight, no longer as relaxed as before, his whole body was tense and his mind was highly concentrated.

Next, he nervously accompanied Yang Jun to finish the game.

Naturally, Yang Jun won this round because Ma Juzi was completely out of shape.

"It's boring."

Yang Jun threw the chess piece onto the chessboard and said dully, "It's boring to play chess like this."

It's over, waved.

"Go away, and don't let me get away with it next time."

Ma Juzi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

"Brother, then I'll go back first."

Yang Jun waved his hand.

The foal ran away as if it had been pardoned.

After he left, Yang Jun couldn't help but sigh.

The world is changing, people's hearts are changing, and the foal is changing too.

Not only has he changed, but many people around him have also changed. In the environment of rapid economic development, everyone's eyes are fixed on money, and life is just about making money!

Yang Jun could understand this kind of behavior. No matter who was holding such a big piece of cake, it would be hard not to be tempted.

If you're tempted, you're tempted. You can't just beat someone to death with one blow. Even if you change to another person, can you guarantee that he won't be tempted? There are too few people like Shang Tielong in this world. You can't expect everyone to be as selfless as him, right?

Shang Tielong is a career-oriented person. He values ​​his career more than anything else. For the sake of his career, he neglects his family and his son. There are not many people with such a single-minded mind.

Ma Juzi is one of his own. In the eyes of someone of Yang Jun's stature, these are minor flaws that are harmless. As long as he is loyal to him, it doesn't matter if he is a little greedy. Just give him a warning and that will be enough. Yang Jun is a man who does big things, so naturally he would not fuss over such small matters. If he is narrow-minded, who would be willing to follow him?

This is the national condition. Confucianism has been deeply rooted in people's hearts for thousands of years and it cannot be changed all at once. Yang Jun does not have any original ideas and can only blend in with the crowd.

After dinner, Yang Jun went to Yi Qiu Shui's yard to rest.

Recently, several women have become pregnant, and he has no choice but to choose between Yi Qiu Shui and Nini and the others. The main reason is that he has something to say to Qiu Shui tonight.

"Honey, I've read the financial statements that Juzi sent me. The businesses in Hainan are doing pretty well. I plan to continue investing in a few similar businesses."

In the evening, after the two finished playing poker, Yi Qiu Shui snuggled in Yang Jun's arms.

"Well, I don't understand business matters. You can handle it yourself."

In fact, it’s not that Yang Jun doesn’t understand business, but he never gets involved in such trivial matters. He must cultivate his own character and learn to focus on the big picture and let go of the small details. He shouldn’t focus all his attention on trivial matters and neglect the big ones, thus ending up losing the big ones for the small ones.

“Well, I’ll invest then.”

Yi Qiu Shui has been managing the family business over the years and has a very unique perspective on things, especially in investment, where he has never failed.

However, this is an age when gold is everywhere. As long as you have money, you will not lose money and you can do any business.

Yang Jun had a cigarette in his mouth. Yi Qiu Shui put one hand on his chest. After he took a puff, she immediately put the cigarette aside, flicked off the ash and put it back into Yang Jun's mouth.

Yang Jun is now learning to enjoy life more and more, and this time of time is always the most relaxing moment for him.

"By the way, Juzi also gave me a check for 230 million. Husband, do you know what happened?" Yi Qiu Shui suddenly asked.

After hearing this, Yang Jun was moved.

He thought to himself that this Ma Juzi was not stupid enough. If he really dared to embezzle the two hundred million and not return it, then Yang Jun would never trust him again.

"You take what he gives you."

Yang Jun did not tell her the reason. He was not a gossiper and would not gossip everywhere. A man who wanted to do great things must know how to control his emotions and temperament. He should not be like women who are so narrow-minded.

"Why would he give...Oh, I understand."

Yi Qiu Shui nodded, not quite understanding.

"It's okay as long as you know it in your mind. I've already pointed it out to him during the day. Just pretend you don't know about it." Yang Jun said.

"Well, I see."

Yi Qiushui put the cigarette in Yang Jun's mouth and said, "Don't smoke after this puff. Let's play another round of poker."

Hearing this, Yang Jun's face darkened: "I've lost everything, and you still won't let me go?"

"What do you want that thing for? It's in the way!" (End of this chapter)
