The Great Era of Siheyuan

When Li Wenqiang walked downstairs, the people at the door quickly started to gather after seeing him. It was obvious that they were keeping an eye on him, just like the workers who came to the factory to screw screws and wait for work assignment.

"Everyone, don't be so nervous. This is not the army. Be casual. From now on, you can call me boss or Brother Qiang. Come with me. Um, your name is Zhou Wenting, right? Get in the car. I have something to tell you."

Li Wenqiang called the girl who looked very heroic to come up. To be honest, this girl is pretty. If her face was a little whiter, she would probably be two or three times prettier than Qin Huairu!

"Yes!"

After Zhou Wenting gave a brief response, she was about to go to the back, but Li Wenqiang stopped her.

"There's no place to sit in the back, come to the front!"

Zhou Wenting looked at the small seat in front of her with a confused look on her face, wondering if he was deliberately trying to take advantage of her.

Once she sat down on this seat, the two of them would probably be pressed tightly against each other. Thinking of this, her face turned red, but her face was dark and Li Wenqiang didn't notice it.

As if he could see what she was thinking, Li Wenqiang said speechlessly.

"Don't think too much. My wife is much prettier than you. You don't have to worry about what I will do to you. If you feel it's inconvenient, then you can squat in the back!"

Li Wenqiang didn't really think too much about it. He just thought that he would have to tell her something later, so it would be more convenient for them to talk in the front.

"It's okay, I'll sit behind you!"

Zhou Wenting said this as she carefully straddled it, holding on tightly to the iron frame next to her with both hands.

"Okay, I'll drive slowly in front, you just follow me!"

Li Wenqiang started the car and drove slowly at a jogging pace. The actual distance from here to Houyuanen Temple and Fuxue Hutong Siheyuan is about the same, at most four kilometers, and it can be reached in 40 minutes if you walk fast, and at most half an hour if you jog.

Zhou Wenting sat in the back of the car, smelling the sunny masculine scent of Li Wenqiang, looking at his handsome profile, and leaning forward involuntarily. Although she wanted to avoid physical contact before, the space in the front cockpit was too small, and even if she wanted to avoid physical contact, it was impossible. After a while, her body was tightly pressed against Li Wenqiang.

"What did you do before? I know there is a confidentiality policy in your army, so you don't need to go into too much detail. Just give me a brief description and I'll see if you're suitable for this job!"

Li Wenqiang asked calmly while driving the car while checking the follow-up of the people behind him.

"I've been in the top three in the women's tournament."

Zhou Wenting said proudly.

"So you're good at fighting?"

Li Wenqiang asked with a smile.

"Of course, under normal circumstances, beating four or five people is not a problem."

Although Zhou Wenting spoke casually, her tone was very affirmative.

"That would be great! Where do you live now?"

"Jiuxian Bridge!"

"Jiuxian Bridge?"

Li Wenqiang asked doubtfully. This place was not very close to him. It would take at least two hours to walk there, and at least an hour and a half at a faster pace.

"Ok!"

Zhou Wenting replied expressionlessly.

"How many brothers and sisters do you have? What do your parents do?"

To be honest, when Li Wenqiang asked this question, he already wanted to reject her in his heart, because he wanted someone who could protect his wife closely. Her traveling such a long distance back and forth every day obviously did not meet his requirements.

Although she might be able to catch up in time, Li Wenqiang was a little reluctant to accept it. The reason he asked this was just to give her another chance. If her family was in financial difficulty, he wouldn't mind helping her. After all, it wasn't common to find a girl who was both pretty and capable.

When he asked this question, Zhou Wenting was stunned for a moment and was obviously reluctant to speak.

Poverty is never something to brag about. Those who cry about being poor are mostly rich people, because the truly poor people can't even make a sound.

After hesitating for a while, Zhou Wenting decided to tell her because she really needed this job.

"I have two older brothers and five younger siblings! My father and two older brothers do odd jobs every day, and my younger siblings are still in school."

Zhou Wenting didn't say much, but Li Wenqiang could guess from her words that her family situation must not be very good. Not to mention whether she could find work every day, even if she did, she would only make a few dollars a day, which was probably not enough to feed herself.

After all, they were a poor family specially picked out by Wang Jianjun, so it would be strange if their family situation was good.

Li Wenqiang thought for a moment, then spoke slowly.

"I give you two choices. The first one is that I will hire you normally. You will receive 20 yuan a month, 30 kilograms of food, and four days off a month. You must wait at my door on time at 7 o'clock every morning, because my wife often goes out at 7 or 8 o'clock, so you must prepare in advance and visit my wife after get off work. You can leave work when she gets off work and escort her back.

Generally speaking, nothing will happen. You just need to accompany her to read books every day. The second option is that I will give you 100 yuan and 300 kilograms of food a month. You can ask for anything you want. What you have to do is to protect my wife's personal safety at all costs..."

Before Li Wenqiang finished speaking, Zhou Wenting couldn't wait to speak.

"I choose the second one!"

"Don't rush to choose, think it over before answering! If you choose the second one, you will be mine from now on. You will do whatever I ask you to do. Even if I ask you to go to bed with me, you must agree. Can you do it?"

Li Wenqiang looked into her eyes and reminded her.

"I am willing!"

Zhou Wenting chose the second option without hesitation. Compared with her poor family and her bedridden mother, her personal gains and losses were nothing. Sacrificing herself for the happiness of her family was a good deal no matter how you looked at it.

"Very good, since you agree, I will give you your next month's salary in advance and you can settle your family well. I will arrange accommodation for you and take you to see my wife!"

Li Wenqiang said casually, otherwise he was worried that Director Cui would do something desperate, so he didn't want to be impatient and arrange a personal bodyguard for Liu Yuhua.

It is better to be prepared than to be unprepared. There is no harm in being prepared. At most, it will only cost you some money.

Zhou Wenting seemed a little silent. Although she gritted her teeth and sold herself out, she couldn't accept it so quickly.

"We're here, wait outside!"

Li Wenqiang brought them to the courtyard house in Fuxue Hutong, parked the car at the door, and spoke to the crowd who were running out of breath.

Listening to their heavy breathing, Li Wenqiang opened the door and entered the yard first. He walked to the room where Old Man Wu lived, took out more than a dozen bags of rice weighing more than a thousand kilograms from the space, then carried nine bags of rice to the yard and called everyone to the middle yard.

"I know that everyone follows me because they want to change their family environment and solve their survival problems. In simple terms, they want to make money. From now on, I will give you 20 yuan and kilograms of food every month. I can also exchange food for you at one yuan per kilogram. It's up to you whether you want money or food."

After Li Wenqiang finished speaking, he took out a bundle of money from his pocket and started distributing two ten-yuan bills to each person.

"I~I want rice!"

After sending it to two people, a thin young man said seriously.

"Okay, Zhou Wenting, you can give them rice later. Each bag here is 100 kilograms. Let the three of them take a bag and divide it among themselves. You can give it to those who don't want money but want rice. Let them bring their own bags in the future."

Li Wenqiang glanced at him and said casually to Zhou Wenting.

"Yes!"

Zhou Wenting responded seriously.
