People are watching American TV shows, and they are also watching American-style iaido.

Janet was both amused and exasperated. "If you keep going like this, you'll soon be at the top of the FBI's most wanted list."

Ding Ze laughed, "Isn't that an achievement too?"

Janet shook her head helplessly. "You're really crazy."

“Indeed,” Ding Ze readily admitted, then, thinking of what they had discussed yesterday, he smiled and said, “I will resolve this lockdown issue as soon as possible, and you can come over then, don’t rush.”

Janet: "...When did I say I was going over there?"

"No? Haha," Ding Ze laughed. "Then we'll talk about it later. I need to catch up on my sleep."

“Go ahead…” Janet responded, then added after a moment’s thought, “Don’t die. Someone as interesting as you would be a loss to this boring world if you died.”

"Don't worry, you won't die."

After hanging up the phone, Ding Ze was too lazy to watch TV anymore, so he turned it off and went back to sleep.

The sky is big and the earth is big, sleeping is the biggest.

No matter how chaotic things are outside, we have to wait until he wakes up before we talk about it.

And so, I slept until noon.

Ding Ze woke up, washed up, and then invited Mickey to come downstairs for lunch.

Mickey had already seen the news and knew how big the commotion was, so he couldn't help but ask, "Boss, what are you planning to do next?"

Ding Ze thought for a moment.

I need to go to the car wash, hang out with Old White, and get him to bring Skyler over… If possible, I should find a chance to have dinner at Old White's house, attend his family dinner, and meet Hank…

Besides.

This trip to Albuquerque seems to have accomplished nothing except for wreaking havoc and forcing Liddell Eaton to lift the lockdown.

"Let's go check out the car wash I bought first," Ding Ze replied.

This answer was quite unexpected for Mickey. Mickey was surprised. "Boss, is that Walter White, like that Jesse Pinkman, very special?"

Speaking of Jesse Pinkman…..

Ding Ze had an idea. "Mickey, you know that police officers like to play the good cop/bad cop game, right?"

Mickey was a little confused by Ding Ze's train of thought and nodded blankly, "I know."

“Here’s a task for you today. Go find Jesse Pinkman, play the bad cop, and have some fun with him… I must have scared him pretty badly yesterday. Try to calm him down, comfort him, and become friends with him,” Ding Ze said. “He and his friends are all drug addicts. Go back to your room later and get a bag of flour to take with you. Get to know them; it shouldn’t be too difficult.”

“Okay…” Mickey agreed, understanding the implication. Then, after a moment’s thought, he asked, “What is my purpose in befriending him?”

“Guide him onto the right path. If he can’t understand what I want him to do, you can indirectly tell him that I want him to continue making rock candy, just like before,” Ding Ze replied. “Then remind him that he has taken my money, so I am his investor and will come back to collect the returns at some point in the future.”

Mickey roughly understood that Ding Ze was investing in Jesse Pinkman's future for some reason.

Then, upon further reflection, he realized that Ding Ze was also investing in Walter White's future.

What is there to invest in about that old man and that young man?

Mickey was very curious and couldn't help but feel more motivated about today's task.

"no problem."

The matter was settled, and the two finished their meal.

Mickey went back to his room to get flour, and then went to rent a car with Ding Ze.

After renting the car, the two went their separate ways.

*********

On the way to the car wash.

Because of the mess Bazard caused yesterday, Ding Ze could no longer use the same approach he had with Walter, so he had no choice but to call Walter.

“Walter, this is Jason Freeman,” Ding Ze said as the call connected. “I have some urgent business to attend to and have left Albuquerque. I don’t expect to be back anytime soon. I’ve sent an employee named Will Anderson to temporarily manage the car wash. He should be here soon.”

Today is Sunday, and Walter doesn't have to go to school. He arrived at the car wash early and is boldly implementing the plan he came up with yesterday to reform the car wash.

Upon hearing this, Walter's first reaction was some worry, fearing that Will Anderson might cause trouble if he came. "Okay... then, boss, is the car wash still the same as we agreed, no changes?"

Ding Ze immediately understood Walter's meaning and smiled, "Same here. Will is just going to take a look and won't interfere. Just do what you need to do."

Walter heard this and breathed a sigh of relief. "Okay."

“That’s settled then,” Ding Ze hung up the phone, then used his voice-changing skill to slightly alter his voice.

Walter is a very clever fellow; if the voice didn't change at all, Walter would definitely become suspicious.

After changing his voice, Ding Ze felt the effect was acceptable. He lit a cigarette and looked out of the car.

To be honest, the scenery outside the car was almost no different from yesterday and the day before.

Cars and people come and go, seemingly unaffected.

Most ordinary people continue to live their lives as usual.

This is a very interesting phenomenon.

Ding Ze thought to himself, not paying much attention.

It didn't take too long.

We arrived at the car wash.

Because of that phone call, Ding Ze was able to make contact with Walter very smoothly.

After a brief introduction, in the boss's office, Walter immediately took the initiative to tell Ding Ze about his plans for the car wash. After speaking, he confidently added, "I believe that within a month at most, the turnover will definitely see a significant increase."

"Very good," Ding Ze praised. "Keep it up. If you can do a good job here, the boss might want to collaborate with you on other projects in the future."

Walter was pleased that his abilities had been recognized.

As for other collaborations, Walter didn't seem to care much.

For Walter, proving his abilities was the most important thing.

“Okay, I will,” Walter nodded, then tentatively asked, “Mr. Anderson, did the boss mention to you that he asked me to help introduce an accountant the other day?”

Ding Ze was just waiting for this, and he was secretly pleased. "To tell you, the main reason the boss asked me to come here this time is for this matter."

"What? You've already found it?"

Walter nodded decisively, "Yes, the person I found is very suitable, but there is one small problem."

“Mr. Anderson, I must emphasize to you first that I have absolutely no ulterior motives in recommending this person.”

"I am a teacher, and I would never do anything illegal, so please rest assured."

Walter spoke in succession, his expression extremely serious.

Ding Ze was all too familiar with Walter's behavior.

In the original series, Walter always used this method to persuade others whenever he encountered a problem.

Then…..

I will never do anything illegal.

Please.

Soon you will be the famous Heisenberg!

Ding Ze smiled and said, "After all you've said, is the accountant you hired related to you?"

Walter was slightly surprised, not expecting Ding Ze to see through it so easily. His expression panicked for a moment, but the panic was fleeting.

“Actually, she’s not a relative, she’s my wife,” Walter replied, and then, without giving Ding Ze a chance to speak, began to persuade him again.

“My wife is a professional accountant. I know that our joint work here might cause you and the boss some concern, but please rest assured, we are both law-abiding citizens who have never broken the law in our lives. We would never be foolish enough to put ourselves in jail for a little money, I promise.”

This kind of forceful persuasion technique is actually quite interesting.

What's even more interesting is that Walter seemed convinced that doing so would convince the other party.

Ding Ze didn't rush to say anything. He smiled and realized that this was an opportunity. "It's not really appropriate for you to be the manager and your wife to be the accountant."

"However, the boss told me before that he thought I was a talented person and that I shouldn't be too rigid."

"How about this..."

“It’s not impossible for you to have your wife as the accountant here. However, I need to meet your wife first, get to know her, and see what kind of person she is.”

"How about this: invite me to your house for dinner. Don't tell your wife anything beforehand; just say I was your former student."

"This will make it easier for me to observe what your wife is really like."

Walter was a smart man and immediately understood. Without hesitation, he said, "Okay, tonight then. Are you available?"

Success.

"convenient."

"How about 7 PM tonight?"

"Sure, by the way, how many people are in your family?" Ding Ze asked casually.

“Three people: me, my wife, and my son,” Walter answered truthfully, without suspicion.

"Okay, let's set off together from here tonight. You can go ahead and get busy."
