Siheyuan: Happy Life of Jia Zhang Family

"They didn't make trouble earlier or later, but now they are making trouble. It seems they have something to rely on. Life here is a jungle of the jungle. You can't retreat. If you retreat one step, others will advance ten steps, leaving me with no way to retreat. So we can't be afraid of trouble. As long as someone comes to provoke us, we must launch a strong counterattack," Zhang Dabao said to Huang Xinsheng and Hu Yongjia.

"Brother, I will arrange people to arrest those who come to provoke us, or beat them to death directly," said Huang Xinsheng.

"This will not be effective. These are just superficial phenomena. Xinsheng, arrange for people to follow the monkeys that come to provoke us and see where their lair is. If they want to attack us, hit them there and hurt them. At most, his owner will come out and bark twice for the dog," Zhang Dabao said to Huang Xinsheng.

"Okay brother, I'll arrange it now." Huang Xinsheng is now doing things in a vigorous and decisive manner.

"Mr. Yan, let me report on the recent operations of several companies." Then Hu Yongjia reported on the affairs of the electronics factory, textile company, and real estate company one by one.

"Is there a small film company? Buy one. I feel that the people's cultural life is relatively scarce nowadays, and the entertainment industry should be able to make money," Zhang Dabao said to Hu Yongjia after listening to the report.

"Okay, Mr. Yan", a good professional manager has a good attitude towards work and strong execution. Just do what the leader arranges, and don't ask why. Because the boss's position is always different from that of the employee.

Zhang Dabao was the only one left in the office again. He went to the kitchen to check on Nan Yi and Feng Chunliu.

"Brother Nan, what's going on? Is my sister-in-law pregnant?" Zhang Dabao said, looking at Feng Chunliu's big belly.

"Yes, I'm so happy. I never thought that I, Nan Yi, would have the life I have today. It's even better than when I was a young master." Nan Yi was particularly grateful to Zhang Dabao.

"Brother Nan, times have changed. If you need anything, just tell us. We are all brothers. You left your hometowns and followed me here. It's hard enough. If you have any problems, you can't just tell me. I am usually very busy and sometimes I can't see you. If you have any problems, just tell Yu Li and she will call me," said Zhang Dabao.

"Mr. Yan, thank you so much. You are the big boss here and a high-ranking official over there. You think so highly of us and treat me, Nan Yi, as a human being. I will definitely work hard. I will tell you if there is anything," said Nan Yi.

"That's good. Our building will be completed soon. You can just live upstairs then. There are only a few of us, so we shouldn't need so many office buildings," said Zhang Dabao.

"That won't work. Public is public and private is private. It's an office building, the face of the company. No matter how good my relationship with that person is, I won't live there. How can a cook live there? I plan to buy a house with Chunliu, starting with a two-bedroom one. The salary you give us is very high, so we can save up enough money in a year or two," said Nan Yi.

"Don't wait, I'll pay the difference for you," said Zhang Dabao.

"That won't work. Brothers have to settle accounts clearly. I know you want to take care of me, but you can't do that with money. We have hands and feet, and the income you give us is not low. It's not appropriate to ask for your money again. Doesn't our company have several locations? I heard from Manager Huang and others that the prices for internal employees can be more favorable, so just give me the employee price then," said Nan Yi.

"That's no problem. I originally wanted to invite Xinsheng and Manager Hu to dinner, but they left after they were done. Tonight, you two and I, along with Yu Li, the four of us will have dinner together," said Zhang Dabao.

"It's great, but I'm a cook and I have to serve the guests first. We eat late," said Nan Yi.

"Good food is never too late. I'll be waiting for you. We have to cook better." Zhang Dabao exchanged a few words with Nan Yi and returned to the office.

After having dinner with Nan Yi and Yu Li at around nine o'clock in the evening, Zhang Dabao returned to his apartment. His body could still bear the running back and forth in the past few days, but he felt a little tired mentally. He decided to have a good sleep. This was not Beijing, and he had to go to work every day. After all, this was his own property.

When I arrived at the office early in the morning, Huang Xinsheng and Xiao Youbin were already waiting at the door.

"Is there something going on?" Zhang Dabao opened the door and let the two in.

"We found the monkeys' lair. They are in a manor by the sea. There are quite a few of them, at least several hundred, not counting the peripheral forces," said Huang Xinsheng.

"A manor by the sea? What kind of building? Are there any brothers here who can drive a boat? I'm going to get a British-made boat to hit them a few times. What do you think they will think?" Zhang Dabao said.

"They will think, why were we given bones before, but changed to cannonballs today? Did I do something wrong?" Xiao Youbin said.

"That makes sense. There are comrades who can drive a boat. Some of the comrades that Captain Wu has found have served in the navy. I'll ask them later if we still need to coordinate operations on land with those in the sea?" Huang Xinsheng asked.

"Of course we have to cooperate. Where are our mortars? Take them out and hit them a few times. Then rush up and shoot them with submachine guns. After we're done, we'll leave and the ship will explode," said Zhang Dabao.

"This way some fish will slip through the net," said Huang Xinsheng.

"What kind of trouble can a few small fish and shrimp cause? What we want is not to annihilate them completely, but to strike a psychological shadow in them, so that they will be afraid when they hear our name, and the master behind them will not dare to act rashly. His master needs to be investigated, and I will make arrangements after the investigation. He must be eliminated. We must learn from the old man and not seek fame and reputation by trying to get the skin of a tiger, let alone reputation," said Zhang Dabao.

"I understand, brother. We'll wait for your news. When do you think the time is suitable?" Huang Xinsheng asked.

"The tentative schedule is tomorrow night. You ask the brothers who can drive a boat to come here tomorrow night. I will personally lead them to steal the boat," said Zhang Dabao.

"Okay, let's go back and prepare." Huang Xinsheng and Xiao Youbin had been furious about the provocation of the monkeys for a long time. Now that they had received arrangements from their boss, they could finally retaliate and they were very excited.

Zhang Dabao dealt with things in the company for the whole morning. At around eleven o'clock, he asked Nan Yi to cook a few dishes and brought the dishes to the hotel opened by Yan Jing.

"Uncle, are you preparing to eat noodles?" When Zhang Zaibiao came, Yan Jingkai had just cooked the noodles.

"Xiao Ming, when did you come back? You should have told me before you came here. I don't have any decent dishes here." Yan Jingkai was very happy to see Zhang Dabao.

"I brought some dishes, made by the chef. He got back yesterday," Zhang Dabao placed the dishes he brought on the table.

"You came back yesterday? That means you spent the New Year at home. What's the situation at home now?" Yan Jing asked.
