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

After two weeks of indulging in naked desires, Niu Dazhuang returned to Tokyo and wanted to try something more sensual.

Even if Niu Dazhuang wanted to come directly, he wouldn't have the chance this time, because her husband had returned.

In the semi-open corridor, I ran into the couple. They seemed quite affectionate. Yang Shu was carrying a basket in one hand and supporting a middle-aged man with a very shiny forehead, who had developed a receding hairline.

"This must be your husband. When did he get back?" Niu Dazhuang greeted him.

The two stopped in their tracks and stepped aside to make way for Niu Dazhuang to pass first.

"Boss Niu, yes, my husband is Inomoto Hikaru, we run a small business."

Niu Dazhuang greeted him politely on the surface, but in his heart he thought, "How can a name like that make a lot of money? He's lost all his capital, what kind of business is he going to do?"

Niu Dazhuang politely extended his right hand: "Hello, Mr. Yi Neng, I just moved here. Please take care of me in the future."

"My wife has heard about you. She said our neighbor is also Chinese, and she's very happy about that. Please take good care of us!"

Niu Dazhuang didn't have the habit of eavesdropping at night. He went out after dinner and didn't come back to stay the night.

Going to Shinjuku Tower is the perfect way to pick up girls and make money at the same time.

The next day, all the part-time international students who came to work at the company were gathered together for a short meeting.

"It's fate that we can work together in a foreign land. I'll definitely not let you down once I make money. I won't say much more about the useless flowers. We need to speed up the process of acquiring these properties. It's been over twenty days, and you've only acquired less than a hundred units. Can we get a little extra to go?"

The same applies to selling houses. We do the math; if the company can make a net profit of 10% or 8%, we'll sell. Our main strategy is quick in and quick out, avoiding tying up too many houses… What difficulties have you encountered at work that you need me to help you with?”

This was Niu Dazhuang's first time holding an employee meeting like this, and he was actually a little nervous!

"Boss, I think it's more efficient for two people to work together than for one person to run a business alone. I suggest that two people work together, so that when you're contacting buyers, you can help each other out and the conversion rate will be higher."

"This is a great suggestion. Those who want to team up are free to do so, and those who don't are free to come alone. The company doesn't force anyone..."

It was just a makeshift operation; after a period of chaos, everyone had to go their separate ways.

Niu Dazhuang started thinking again. There were still too few people around. He had money but couldn't spend it. He needed to find more people. He also wanted to have a deep discussion about his life ideals with his old flame, Yu Beibei...

Due to Niu Dazhuang's deliberate actions, he still had a large amount of money in his hands, and in 1986, Tokyo's housing prices had increased by 50% compared to the middle of the year...

It wasn't that Niu Dazhuang had stopped thinking about Yang Shu; he was waiting for her daughter to come back. If he stole Yang Shu first and her daughter found out, it would be much more difficult to steal her daughter later.

Conversely, Niu Dazhuang's task would be much easier; I don't know how he came up with this theory.

It was the end of 86, and New Year's Day of 87 was just around the corner.

The results, which we've been waiting for for more than half a year, are about to be revealed.

Yang Shu has been in a good mood these past two days, even humming a little tune while cooking.

"Yang, you've been so happy these past few days. What's the good news? Tell me so I can share in your joy." Having been neighbors for half a year, the two were quite familiar with each other and would occasionally exchange a little joke.

On the entire floor, only the two of them spoke Chinese, which naturally added a sense of intimacy. In addition, Niu Dazhuang deliberately approached them, so the two of them naturally became close.

"My daughter has been signed by an entertainment company in my hometown, Frog Island. She's coming to see me tomorrow. She might become even more famous than I was back then."

"Oh, so you were a signed artist back then?"

"Exactly, I didn't have a sugar daddy backing me, and I wasn't willing to go all out for this guy, so I remained stagnant, and in the end, I was blind enough to marry a jerk..."

The two of them chatted in Chinese, not worried about being overheard by the other neighbors.

"Oh, you had that past experience, and that's how you ended up with this Japanese man?"

"Yes, I married her because I saw that she was genuinely good to my daughter. Her father's family is too sexist. Ever since I gave birth to my daughter, they've been so hostile... Now that my daughter is successful, they should regret it." Today, Ms. Yang was happy and recounted all the unpleasant things from the past.

When she got emotional, Yang Shu even shed a few tears.

She gently wiped away the tears on her cheeks: "I'm sorry you had to see this."

"We're all family here. It'll make me feel better to talk about the grievances I've kept bottled up for years."

"I feel much better now. There are some things I really can't say even to my bedmate, Brother Niu... but I feel like you're lying to me?"

Niu Dazhuang was also stunned; the change was too fast. She was just crying and sobbing a moment ago, how could she suddenly accuse me of lying to her?

"What would I lie to you about?"

"Age," Yang Shu said seriously.

"Age? Sister, your reaction time is way too slow. I've been calling you 'brother' for months, and you're only just realizing it now."

"I knew it! How could you possibly be older than me? You have thick, black hair and no health problems whatsoever. Even young men aren't as healthy as you."

"I really am fifty years old. I'll show you my passport."

"No need. The household registration system in mainland China isn't that strict. You look to be in your thirties, not fifty. Do you really think I'm easy to fool?"

"You're not even forty yet, we're about the same age, calling you 'brother' won't hurt you. When your daughter comes back, I'll treat you all to a meal."

"Forget about the meal, I don't want you to spend money. Brother Niu, do you have any other vacant houses outside?"

Niu Dazhuang glanced at their house and said directly, "Is it because your daughter is back and it's inconvenient for you to stay here?"

"I could have managed in the dead of winter without you, but it's all thanks to your kind neighbor!"

This woman is really cunning. Otherwise, how could she have managed to coax her Japanese husband and provide for her and her daughter so well? They've been married for so many years, yet she hasn't given him a single child.

The key point is that the other party is willing to do it.

"Actually, we can't stay for many days, maybe two or three."

Now that things have come to this point, Niu Dazhuang needs to maintain his image as a good person, otherwise the past six months of pretense will have been for nothing.

"Okay, I'll move out again when your daughter is back."

"Thank you so much, Brother Niu. I'll be back tomorrow."

"My room is a bit messy, you see..." Six months ago, Niu Dazhuang offered to pay her to clean, but she didn't agree in the end. She didn't explicitly refuse, but nothing came of it.

"I'll tidy up for you right away." This was Yang Shu's first time entering Niu Dazhuang's room.
