Siheyuan: Domineering life

The celebration came to an end and the once lively life returned to peace.

The higher a person's social status, the greater his relative freedom. Yang Jun, who is in a high position, has more free time than before. He hardly goes out and stays at home every day. As long as he opens his mouth, someone will help him get things done.

After Diaoyutai was built, it almost became his office. He received hundreds of subordinates here every day, and almost all decisions were made here. It was like a platform for him to command generals.

"Boss, congratulations."

That day, Tan Qin came home to report on her work and congratulated Yang Jun as soon as they met.

She was wearing a black professional suit today, which made her look particularly capable. Her face was full of smiles, and the smile on her lips never stopped.

"Haha, are you congratulating me or am I congratulating you?" Yang Jun said with a smile: "It can be seen that you are happier than me."

"Hehe, the rising tide lifts all boats. You are the boat and I am the oar. Everything depends on you." Tan Qin.

"Oh, you think highly of yourself. You compare yourself to a paddle, which means my left and right hands, right?"

"Boss, you're making fun of me again. I'm just making an analogy. Do you have to call it a fact?"

After that, Tan Qin tilted her head, pouted and complained: "Over the years, I have worked hard by your side and never complained about anything. It's not an exaggeration to say that I am your right-hand man, right?"

“Not at all.”

Yang Jun smiled and said, "To be fair, the reason why I can achieve what I have today is inseparable from your hardworking assistant. You can say that you are my right-hand man."

"That's more like it." Tan Qin smiled.

Afterwards, Tan Qin sat on a small bench next to her and began to report on her work.

"Boss, you set those three fires very well. All the weeds were burned cleanly. Now these people are people we can trust."

After saying that, he took out a list from his bag and handed it over.

"These are the people who are going to be sent out for training. Take a look. If you have no objection, I will send them out."

Yang Jun took the list, took a look at it, and then threw it back to her.

"Well, just issue it as you proposed."

"Boss, you trust me so much now, and you don't have any opinions or anything?" Tan Qin looked at him playfully.

"Oh, will you betray me?" Yang Jun narrowed his eyes and looked at her.

"Of course I won't."

Tan Qin shouted, "Since the day I met you, we have been in the same boat. We share the same fate. What good would it be for me to betray you?"

"Since you won't betray me, why should I not trust you?" Yang Jun looked at her with a smile.

He still trusts Tan Qin. Not to mention that Tan Qin's parents and Yang Jun are allies, let's talk about Tan Qin. She has been following him since she graduated. If you count carefully, it has been almost twenty years. Twenty years have proved that Tan Qin is not only a trustworthy person but also a capable assistant. Tan Qin has made an indelible contribution to his achievements today.

"Hey, thank you, boss."

"Tan Qin, that's it... The people on the list alone are far from enough. You should send the people from the secretariat out as well and let them gain some experience."

"Secretariat?"

Tan Qin: "If they leave, who will do the work in the future? You can't just leave everything to me, right?"

"Are you stupid? If there's no one left, we can always hire someone else." Yang Jun pointed at the table and said, "They are all my secretaries. They will bear my name, Yang Jun, for the rest of their lives."

"You are so nice to them." said Tan Qin.

"If you want to go out, I can let you go."

"No, I won't leave. I will stay by your side and go wherever you go." Tan Qin.

"Since you don't want to leave, then stop saying such sour words in the future."

"Hey, I'm just saying."

After saying that, Tan Qin moved closer to Yang Jun and said with a smile, "Boss, my old Qian wants to move to a new place. Can you find him a new place?"

In fact, with Tan Qin's ability, she could have arranged a better place for her husband Qian Hai. After all, as Yang Jun's first secretary, she still had this ability. But she did not do so. Instead, she asked Yang Jun directly, not for anything else, but to show that she had selfish motives but not towards Yang Jun. She did not want to leave him the impression that she was doing something behind the scenes, and that path would not last long.

"Go wherever you want to go. Let your husband Qian write the report." Yang Jun waved his hand.

He naturally knew what Tan Qin's intention was, and he was willing to help her. Tan Qin had been working diligently beside him for so many years, so he also wanted to help her. Besides, if Qian Hai became successful, he would still be his.

"Oh, the boss is still straightforward." Tan Qin gave him a thumbs up and said, "I would like to thank you on behalf of my family's old money."

"Tell your old Qian that I promoted him for your sake. Let him be more respectful to you." Yang Jun said with a smile.

"Of course I have to," Tan Qin said exaggeratedly, "I have to let him know that it is because of me that he was able to be reused and promoted. I have to make him appreciate my kindness."

"Haha, you have mastered the ways of the world." Yang Jun said with a smile.

"Haha, it's all thanks to the boss's good teaching."

Afterwards, the two chatted about work for a while before Tan Qin left.

After she left, Yang Jun met with some more people.

Most of these people came to congratulate under the guise of reporting work. They are all family members, and of course they are happy that their boss has been promoted.

Yang Jun also took time to deal with them. After all, he would have to rely on them in the future, and he couldn't just act superior.

In the next few days, Yang Jun kept meeting with his subordinates. He also vigorously promoted those who followed him. After all, there were so many vacant positions that needed to be filled.

……

That day, Yang Chengdao came to Diaoyutai to find him.

"dad."

After Yang Chengdao sat down, he lit a cigarette for Yang Jun and also lit one for himself.

Yang Jun frowned when he saw this.

"Cigarettes are not good things. If you can avoid them, then don't do it."

After hearing this, Yang Chengdao smiled bitterly and said, "I also know that cigarettes are not good things, but... this thing can relieve my worries."

Yang Jun listened without saying anything, but in his heart he agreed with this statement.

"If you don't run a household, you don't know how heavy the burden is. Since I took over the family business, I finally understood how hard my mother worked. I don't know how she persisted for so many years."

Yang Jun listened and smiled: "You can say that, which shows that you have grown up and matured, but..."

"However, your mother is more hardworking than you think. Not only is she busy with the family business, but she is also in charge of the huge household and she is also the one who worries about interpersonal relationships. She is the great contributor to this family."

"Yes, my mother, a gentle woman, was forced by you to become a tomboy." Yang Chengdao.

Hearing this, Yang Jun rolled his eyes at him and said, "Don't be so sarcastic. Your mother and I have a clear division of labor. She is in charge of the interior and I am in charge of the exterior. Do you think my job is easy?"

"I don't know whether it's easy or not, but I see him drinking tea and fishing here every day." Yang Chengdao muttered.

"So I meet with people from below at home every day and you keep silent about it?"

Yang Jun glared at him. If this kid hadn't already started a family and a career, he would have beaten him.

"You came here today just to piss me off?" "How dare I."

Yang Chengdao smiled bitterly and said, "I came to ask my mother for advice on business matters. I didn't expect her to be away from home, so I came to see you."

"Your mother went to your grandmother's house and will be back later."

After saying that, Yang Jun realized something, rolled his eyes and said, "You said you came to see me by chance?"

"Did I say that?" Yang Cheng said.

"you said so."

"I did not say."

Yang Jun was too lazy to argue with him and just handed him a large sum of money.

"Dad, I already have a son, why do you still hit me?" Yang Chengdao said, covering his head.

"Even if you have a grandson, I will still beat you."

"Overbearing and unreasonable."

This was a bloodline suppression, and he had no choice but to give in.

"Don't focus on business all the time, you're going to be a government official in the future, don't let small things ruin your future."

Yang Jun held his forehead and said, "You can leave the business matters to Bai He and let her try to manage the business. She will assist you in the future. These matters are hers."

"Dad, I know. I don't plan to do business. I just want to sort out the family business before handing it over to her. Besides, I'm only a sophomore now. When I graduate from college, I will hand over the business to Bai He. Besides, the child is still young, and Bai He's main focus is..."

"Okay, as long as you know what's going on." Yang Jun interrupted.

"By the way, how is your sister doing lately?"

"Chengzhi?" Yang Chengdao said, "She's fine. She eats and drinks as usual. I see she's fatter than before."

The two of them went to the same university, and Yang Jun asked him to take care of his sister.

"Is this what I'm talking about?" Yang Jun stared.

"You're talking about Xiao Huan. They're both fine, and they didn't do anything excessive. What you're worried about won't happen."

"Are you so sure?" Yang Jun glared and said, "I'm telling you, brat, if your sister and Xiao Huan do anything out of line, you'll be the first one I'll punish."

"Dad, you can't blame me for everything. My sister is an adult now, and she has her own ideas. It's not my place to interfere. Besides, they're already engaged, so even if..."

Yang Chengdao wanted to continue speaking, but when he saw Yang Jun's murderous look, he quickly shut up.

"Dad, um...don't worry, I will definitely take good care of my sister."

"You'd better keep your word, or I'll skin you alive."

"Oh, it's so difficult for me." Yang Chengdao held his forehead with his hand.

"No matter how hard it is, you have to stick with me. You are my brother after all."

"Dad, I have a suggestion."

"You said."

Yang Chengdao stood up, walked away from him, and said, "Can you please stop having children? As the eldest son, I can hardly take care of my younger brothers and sisters."

"What did you say? Say it to me again if you can."

When Yang Jun heard this, he took off his shoes and was about to beat him.

"You know what I mean."

Upon seeing this, Yang Chengdao ran away and disappeared in a flash.

Yang Chengdao ran away and Sun Zhaocai came in shortly afterwards.

"Uncle Yang, Peng Li is here."

"Peng Li?"

Yang Jun was dazed for a moment before he remembered who Peng Li was.

Peng Li was none other than the woman Yang Huai kept outside. This Peng Li had come to see him some time ago. Her main purpose at that time was to help solve the problem of her child's schooling.

When Yang Jun heard that Peng Li was coming, he had a bad thought in his mind.

You have to know that Peng Li doesn't come here often, and when she does, there must be something wrong.

After a while, Peng Li came.

She came alone and without her child.

"Mr. Yang."

Peng Li stood there and called out timidly.

"sit down."

Yang Jun pointed at the small stool.

Peng Li hesitated for a moment, but finally sat down.

"Mr. Yang, this time I'm here..."

Peng Li hesitated for a moment, frowning, not knowing how to start.

"Just say whatever you want to say. You can say anything without being shy." Yang Jun said.

He didn't have a good impression of Peng Li, and even had some hostility towards her. If she hadn't seduced Yang Huai, Yang Huai wouldn't have made such a big mistake. The reason why he helped solve the child's schooling problem last time was actually because of the child's face. After all, the child had the blood of their Yang family flowing in his body.

After receiving Yang Jun's encouragement, Peng Li mustered up the courage to say,
"I... I've fallen in love with someone recently. That person is very nice to me. I think..."

When Yang Jun heard it, he immediately understood.

"Two choices."

Before Peng Li could finish her words, she was interrupted by Yang Jun.

Yang Jun didn't care about the way she looked at him. He just raised two fingers and said, "Either you remarry and send the child back to the Yang family, or you live with the child, and I will send you money and help regularly."

"There are only these two choices. There is no third way for you to choose."

The reason why Yang Jun did this was that he didn't want the children of the Yang family to change their surnames. He had to keep Yang Huai's bloodline.

Peng Li seemed to have expected Yang Jun's answer.

“I choose the first path.”

She also knew that she didn't have many options, and it was impossible to remarry with the Yang family's child. But she was still so young and didn't want to waste her life, so she made up her mind before coming to find Yang Jun.

"Very good." Yang Jun didn't say anything, waved his hand and said, "You can leave now."

After hearing this, Peng Li slowly stood up, bowed to Yang Jun and said, "Thank you, boss. I'll leave the child to you from now on." (End of this chapter)
