Siheyuan: Domineering life

In the blink of an eye, it’s time to go to school.

The children went to school happily. They were like sparrows that had been locked in a cage for a long time and they couldn't wait to fly away from this family and leave Yang Jun's control and discipline. All children had this kind of thought. Once they had the opportunity to escape from their original family, they would never let it go.

Yang Chengdao, Yang Chengcai and other three people got married, so they no longer have to eat from the same big pot. They have their own small families and enjoy their own world. Although they are in college, they do not live on campus and have a special car to pick them up every day. On the contrary, the younger children, such as Yang Chengzhi, Yang Chenglan and Yang Chengyun, who live so close to home, choose to live on campus. Their purpose is to get away from their original families and not have to worry about their family members' opinions.

Yang Jun was well aware of this, as he had also gone through this rebellious age, so he naturally knew what they were thinking. He did not discipline them deliberately, as the children were still young and did not know the benefits of parents and family. When they grew up and had their own families, they would understand the difficulties of being parents.

This is how things are in the world. Sooner or later the young eagle will soar into the sky. You cannot lock it up, so it is only a matter of time before it leaves the nest.

After school started, the house seemed much quieter. Apart from the occasional crying of a few babies, there was almost no other noise.

The weather in September was unusually hot, and Yang Jun would never go out unless it was necessary. He spent most of his time in the air-conditioned room by the river. Even if there was work-related matter, his subordinates would come to him. Anyway, he now almost regarded the air-conditioned room as his temporary office.

In the morning, Yang Jun met with several subordinates and listened to their work reports. He wanted to take a break, but Tan Qin told him that there was one last person.

Yang Jun originally wanted to refuse, but when he heard that there was only one person left, he made an exception and accepted the meeting.

The person who came was Li Qingmiao.

"Good leader."

As soon as Li Qingmiao entered the room, he bent down and greeted Yang Jun.

"Ah, Qingmiao."

"Come in, it's hot outside."

Yang Jun didn't expect that the last person he met was Li Qingmiao. After a year, when he saw her again, Yang Jun was still a little happy.

"Thank you, great leader."

Li Qingmiao sat on a small bench opposite Yang Jun, sitting upright, like a primary school student ready to listen to the class.

After not seeing her for a year, Li Qingmiao has become much more mature. The childish air she had before is no longer there, and her every move is full of elegance. In addition, she is wearing blue pants and a white shirt today, which makes her look very capable.

"You are much more mature than before."

Looking at this proud subordinate, Yang Jun sighed sincerely.

"It's all the result of promotion and cultivation by the top leaders," Li Qingmiao said modestly.

"Hey, don't say that. Gold will shine sooner or later. You are a talent, and it is natural for you to make achievements." Yang Jun waved his hand.

"Gold is good, but if there is no one to discover it, it will not shine." Li Qingmiao.

"Girl, you're becoming more and more smooth." Yang Jun pointed at her with a smile.

"Well, I have to be smooth. I've run into obstacles everywhere this year, so of course my edges have been smoothed out."

At this point, Li Qingmiao paused for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said, "I used to stay in the classroom, protected from the wind and rain, carefree, and oblivious to the world outside. Only after entering society did I realize that life is much more difficult than I imagined."

"It's especially difficult to be an official. You have to be trembling with fear every day, afraid of making a mistake and betraying the trust of your superiors."

"It's so difficult."

After saying that, Li Qingmiao smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"From what you said...are you ready to back out?" Yang Jun looked at her with a smile.

"Of course not."

Li Qingmiao smiled and said, "When I see my old leader, do I want to complain and act like a spoiled child to you? Things still need to be done, and we must not back down."

At this time, Tan Qin said, "If you have any complaints, solve them yourself. Don't go to the big boss. The big boss is so busy, how can he have time to listen to your complaints?"

"Besides, don't forget the status of superiors and subordinates. Can you use the word coquettish?"

Li Qingmiao was about to apologize, but saw Yang Jun waving his hands.

"You don't have to be too harsh on Qingmiao. She treats me as her own, so she uses the word 'acting like a spoiled child'. It's a bit like a younger generation who has been wronged outside complaining to the elders."

"Yes, yes, that's what I think." Li Qingmiao said with a smile: "I have always regarded the big leader as an elder. He takes care of me like my father. I have an inexplicable dependence on him."

"That's not possible..." Tan Qin.

Yang Jun waved his hands and said, "If you're talking about being unruly, you're no better than Qing Miao. Look at how you usually act in front of me. How do you behave like a subordinate?"

"That's because you spoil me." Tan Qin said with a smile.

She kept a smile on her face, but she felt a little uneasy in her heart.

In the past, this exclusive favor belonged to her alone, but now there is someone competing with her for favor, and Yang Jun values ​​​​Li Qingmiao very much. She is really afraid that her position will be taken away.

After all, she had been in the industry for so many years to get to her current position. No one would be willing to give up. She already had a sense of crisis in her heart.

Yang Jun sat there with a smile. He could clearly feel the sour smell in the air. He was very familiar with this situation. He never expressed his opinion at such times. He was even willing to create this kind of atmosphere to make the people below feel the danger so that they could keep up with his pace.

This relationship is called the catfish effect.

"Have you got your diploma?" Yang Jun asked.

When Li Qingmiao started working, she had not yet graduated from university. Now, a year has passed, and she should have received her university diploma.

"I've got it. Thank you for your concern, leader." Li Qingmiao replied with a smile.

"It's good to get it."

After a slight pause, Yang Jun continued, "What are your plans for the future? Will you go straight to work or continue to receive higher education?"

"Yes, I'm fine with that. I'll follow the boss's instructions."

Li Qingmiao smiled and said, "I am a brick of the big leader. I will go wherever you need me."

"hehe!"

Yang Jun laughed when he heard this.

"Do you really think so?"

"Of course it's true. I assure you that every word I said is from my heart." Li Qingmiao straightened his back.

"Okay, since you want to hear my opinion, I'll tell you."

Yang Jun paused for a moment, then continued, "Here's what I'm thinking. You can work while receiving continuing education. Do you think this arrangement is okay?"

Li Qingmiao was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then nodded and said, "Okay, I'll listen to the leader."

"You graduated from Renmin University, so your diploma is not low, but..." Yang Jun said this, and then said solemnly: "But the times are changing. Your diploma is enough now, but it may not be enough in a few years. If you want to go further on this path, you must receive continuing education."

"Do you understand what I said?"

"I understand. Everything is arranged by the leader."

Li Qingmiao was very excited when she heard that Yang Jun had planned a future for her. She could clearly feel that Yang Jun trusted and valued her, and was willing to spend time promoting and cultivating her. She was very moved by the feeling of being cared for and loved.

"Thank you, great leader."

Li Qingmiao's eyes were covered with a layer of translucent substance.

This scene made Tan Qin even more upset.

She has been with Yang Jun for more than ten years, but she has never seen him think so much about her. Li Qingmiao has only been with Yang Jun for a year, but she has won his appreciation and attention. She feels jealous.

"Oh, how pitiful! Why don't I get this treatment?" Tan Qin sighed. "If you want, I can also arrange for you to go to university for further education." Yang Jun rolled his eyes at her.

"No, I don't have the time."

Tan Qin waved her hands quickly and said, "At my age, I have elderly parents and young children to take care of, so I can't be away from home. Besides, you have given me so much work that I don't have time to go to college."

"Then what are you complaining about?" Yang Jun glared at her.

"Isn't it okay for me to complain?" Tan Qin stuck out her tongue mischievously.

Li Qingmiao smiled and said, "I envy Sister Tan Qin very much. She has been able to follow the big boss since she started working. Not everyone has this honor."

"If you say so, I really feel a little better."

Tan Qin smiled and said, "I am indeed honored to have followed the great leader all the way. This trust and honor is not something that everyone has."

Yang Jun also interjected: "You should just complain less in the future."

"Yes, great leader."

After saying that, Tan Qin laughed, and Li Qingmiao also laughed.

Afterwards, Li Qingmiao reported to Yang Jun and gave him a detailed account of the work situation in the past year. He also shared any difficulties encountered or any insights and experiences gained in the work.

After listening to the work report, Yang Jun was very satisfied with Li Qingmiao's work and achievements in the past year. He immediately decided to add some burden to her shoulders so that she could better accept the training and tempering.

At noon, Yang Jun asked his servants to bring wine and food to the air-conditioned room, and asked Li Qingmiao and Tan Qin to accompany him for a simple meal.

In the afternoon, Yang Jun no longer met anyone. This was his leisure time and no one could disturb him.

It was too hot outside, like a steamer. If he hadn't been unbearable, he would have gone out to fish.

Towards evening, Yi Qiu Shui arrived.

She had just come back after running outside all day, looking extremely tired. Her clothes were soaked with sweat and stuck tightly to her body, revealing her plump figure.

Yang Jun stared at her with his eyes wide open, his eyes shining.

Yi Qiu Shui rolled her eyes at her, then sat down on the small stool next to her, picked up the iced watermelon on the coffee table and started eating.

"I'm too hot right now to think about it. You'd better control yourself."

When Yang Jun heard this, he laughed.

"It doesn't matter. It's going to be dark soon anyway."

"It's dark now and I don't have the mood to do anything. If you want, go find someone else." Yi Qiu Shui rolled her eyes at him unhappily.

After a slight pause, he continued, "You are so free, staying in the air-conditioned room all day long, and you don't care about the family affairs at all."

"Honey, thank you for your hard work."

At this time, you must not explain, let alone say anything else.

"Humph, you're just good at talking, but you can't help me with anything else."

"Hey, my dear wife, you have worked hard. I will help you relax tonight."

Yang Jun reached out and touched her, causing Yi Qiu Shui to roll her eyes.

"No need. I'm too tired. You'd better not come to me."

After saying this, he paused for a moment and continued, "I almost got a heat stroke that day. I was running around all the time and hadn't been idle for a moment. I just came back after arranging everything for the children."

"Are the children all settled?"

Today is the first day of school. Several older children have to live on campus. As the mother of the family, Yi Qiu Shui has to worry about all these matters.

To be honest, Yang Jun really loves her. Not only does she have to take care of business matters, but she also has to take care of all the big and small matters at home. She has more than a dozen children to take care of, and she is very exhausted.

"arranged."

After eating a piece of iced watermelon, Yi Qiu Shui took another piece because she was too hot.

"My sister Yani and I worked all day to arrange for Chengzhi, Chenglan, Chengyun and the others. We looked for beds, found the principal and teachers, and bought them daily necessities. My legs became thin from all the hard work."

"Oh, you went with Yani." Yang Jun asked thoughtfully.

"Well, why don't she go with me? Wouldn't it be tiring for her to just rely on me?"

At this point, Yi Qiushui sighed and continued, "She was also very tired, so she didn't come over and went back to the backyard to rest."

"Thank you for your hard work, my two wives." Yang Jun said with a smile.

"How can there be two wives when there is only one?" Yi Qiu Shui glared at him.

"Okay, okay, I only have one wife, and that wife is you. Yani doesn't count." Yang Jun didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Hmph, you know what's going on."

A piece of watermelon was quickly eaten, but Yi Qiu Shui seemed to be still thirsty. He looked at the table and saw that there was no iced watermelon left, so he could only sigh.

"It would be nice to have a bottle of iced soda."

Yang Jun's eyes lit up when he heard this.

"You can have this."

After saying that, he turned around and looked around. Seeing that there was no one around, he suddenly had an idea and a bottle of iced soda appeared in his hand.

The soda was icy cold, as if it had just been taken out of the refrigerator, and there was a layer of crystal water droplets hanging on the outside of the bottle.

Seeing this, Yi Qiu Shui's eyes lit up. He snatched the soda and looked around nervously.

"Oh, you're going to die, how can you just expose your superpowers so casually."

She really cared about Yang Jun and was afraid that others would know that Yang Jun had superpowers. She didn't want to expose Yang Jun's secret for a bottle of soda. After all, Yang Jun was the head of the family, her strongest support, and the only hope of the family. She naturally hoped that Yang Jun would be fine.

"Hey, isn't this all right?"

Yang Jun smiled and said, "It's okay, I've checked and there's no one."

"It will be too late if anything happens."

Yi Qiushui glared at him, then said coquettishly: "This won't happen again."

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you."

Yang Jun helped her open the cap of the soda bottle. Yi Qiu Shui pouted her cherry lips and took a sip. A chill went straight into her heart and she felt much cooler immediately.

"That would be nice if I could have iced soda anytime."

"That's fine. I'll be at your service anytime in the future." Yang Jun said with a smile.

"No, it's too dangerous."

Yi Qiushui rolled her eyes at him, then thought for a moment and said, "I'll have someone put a refrigerator here later."

"Okay, I'll listen to you." (End of this chapter)
