Courtyard houses: Those who are capable are rewarded, and many children bring many blessings.

"Old Gun, don't always have such a stern face. We're comrades who've been through thick and thin together. I know what kind of person you are. You'll suffer in civilian life after you leave the military."

Learn to see the situation clearly, instead of constantly finding fault with this and that.

"Dude, I think you're wasting your breath. We've talked to him so many times, but he hasn't improved at all."

"I'm slow-witted, but you guys are quick-witted. After I leave the military, I'll stay home and farm. If you become successful, just give me a hand."

"Damn! Bro, this guy's got us cornered..."

Five days passed in the blink of an eye. Niu Dazhuang also took the women in Yanjing, including the Zhang Bingqian sisters who had been deeply involved in the textile industry chain in Zhili, to that place.

This time, the relationship between the four of them has improved somewhat.

After dealing with Guan Jiahui, who had driven over, Niu Dazhuang, wearing only a white bath towel, went into the house across the street belonging to Zhang Bingqian and Zhang Bingshan.

This time, Niu Dazhuang didn't rush to get down to business. Instead, he lay in bed and asked about work.

"Land and imported advanced machinery are all fine, but we've expanded too quickly and don't have enough skilled workers. The varying skill levels of the workers have severely impacted efficiency and yield," Zhang Bingqian replied earnestly.

"At the beginning, as long as you don't lose money, that's fine."

"Currently, we are definitely not losing money on paper, and we should be making a profit in a few months."

"What about the factory land?"

"Let's rent it out. The lease term is 20 years, and the rent is basically fixed every year. Given the current growth rate of the textile industry, we'll recoup all our initial investment in five years at most, and the rest will be pure profit. Pretty good, right?" Zhang Bingshan said proudly.

"That's quite good, thank you for your hard work. I came here to let you know that I'm going to visit Xiao Rizi's family for at least six months."

"Oh, then you'll have to make it up to us these next couple of days."

"Absolutely."

It was impossible to achieve the desired result in one step; Niu Dazhuang had already tried many times at the Yanjing Hotel, so he had to find another way.

The next morning, Zhang Bingqian and Zhang Bingshan were supposed to go to the factory together, but Niu Dazhuang insisted on stopping Zhang Bingshan from going. "What's wrong? You had a good time last night, so even if I stayed, I wouldn't be able to keep you company."

"Fine, I'll let you watch TV with me, okay?"

"Isn't Ah Hui there?"

"Ah Hui is Ah Hui, and you are you."

"Alright, alright, you stay here, I'll go by myself."

After Zhang Bingqian left.

"Speak, what exactly do you want?"

What do you think?

"You haven't given up yet. I've already tried to talk my sister out of it, but she won't agree. What can I do?"

"I know, today, let's start by making a small inroad on your side."

"As long as Ah Hui is willing, I don't care..."

Niu Dazhuang called Guan Meinu over and they started watching TV. Gradually, Niu Dazhuang's hands began to wander.

"Ah Hui, what are you so shy about? The examples of Lam Wing-mui and Lam Ah-ha in Hong Kong Island are already right in front of you, how come you still can't see through it!"

"Auntie, actually I was mentally prepared, but I'm just embarrassed..."

Next, it's time to buy plane tickets and wait for the flight.

Three days later, Niu Dazhuang and his group of seven were picked up by Shao Fuzi's friend in Tokyo at Narita International Airport.

"Hey, Mr. Niu, how are you?" This guy's Mandarin is so bad. Luckily, Niu Dazhuang and Guan Meinu are also very familiar with Cantonese, so the communication is very smooth.

"Boss Qian, okay?"

"No, no, the house has been rented according to your requirements. Let me take you to see it first."

Boss Qian drove up in a car. Niu Dazhuang and Guan Meinu sat in the back, and a young man with short, blond hair sat in the passenger seat.

There were no seats left for Lao Tie and his five friends.

"Boss Qian, get two taxis for my brothers to follow behind us."

"No problem!"

This guy is quite talkative; I don't know if he's always like this, or if he's just happy that Niu Dazhuang is Chinese too.

Once they got in the car, their mouths never stopped, going from Mr. Shao on Hong Kong Island to their hometown in Southern Fujian...

"Old Niu, you're really lucky! Miss Guan is prettier than all the actresses at Shaofu Company."

Niu Dazhuang glanced at the young man in the passenger seat, then at Boss Qian driving; he was being a little too enthusiastic.

"Boss Qian, since Master Shao trusts you, then we are friends. If there's anything I can do to help you, please let me know."

"Old Niu, you've achieved what you have today because you have exceptional abilities. You've seen all of that!"

"Alright, stop flattering me. Just tell me. I prefer things to be straightforward."

"I know this is a bit abrupt, but I have no other choice. This brat is always causing me trouble, and I can hardly protect him anymore."

I told him to go back to Hong Kong Island, but he won't. I want this brat to follow you around, so when you leave, take him back with you. If he doesn't listen, just leave him alive!

"How's your Japanese, son?"

"My Japanese is definitely no problem. I speak Japanese better than Mandarin."

"We've only just met, and you're already entrusting your precious son to me?"

"Master Shao and I have a life-or-death bond. He specifically instructed me to do so, so I completely trust you."

"If your son doesn't listen to me, I might really hit him."

"In the past, whether it was studying or learning a trade, even if it was a family tradition, people would still hand their sons over to a master to learn from, because they just couldn't bring themselves to do it to their own flesh and blood. Don't worry, I'm not that kind of foolish person. Now that I've entrusted it to you, I feel at ease."

Well, on my very first day after getting off the plane, I got burned.

Since that's what they said, and there will be many things in Tokyo that I'll need Lao Qian's help with, it won't make a difference if he's another one to eat. So Niu Dazhuang agreed.

The rented apartment is located in Chiyoda Ward, right next to the financial district. The Tokyo Stock Exchange Center is just a short distance to the east of the apartment building. To the west are the Tokyo branches of major international banks.

Niu Dazhuang and Guan Meinu shared a room, while the six of them shared three rooms.

After settling them in and leaving Niu Dazhuang a phone number, Boss Qian left.

After politely seeing him downstairs, Niu Dazhuang returned with a changed expression: "Old buddy, loosen up this kid's muscles first. We haven't even asked his name yet, we need to teach him a lesson."

"You, how can you be so unreasonable? My father said that if I misbehave, you can hit me. I haven't done anything wrong, so why are you hitting me?"

"Stop making noise, stop him from making any more sounds."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Old Gun darted in front of the kid, lifted his chin with one hand, and removed it from his jaw.

"Give them a beating first, then interrogate them..." Note the wording: interrogate!
