Golden Color Xiangjiang: A Young Man's Dream in a Siheyuan

Ever since Xu Fugui and his wife were arrested, Zhou Jin was like a bird that had broken free from its fetters. He no longer had to worry about external security and devoted himself to the side hustle business he had planned for a long time.

Zhou Jin used his spatial power to search those uninhabited houses, and then moved away all the valuable things hidden inside.

Moreover, Zhou Jin had the map with the empty courtyards in Sijiu City that Long Yi and his team had marked before, so there was no such thing as running around like a headless fly. He always went out with a purpose.

Zhou Jin usually went out in the middle of the night to avoid being discovered. After all, there was no Skynet now, and there was no nightlife like in later generations. Everyone basically went to bed when it got dark.

When Zhou Jin came out in the middle of the night, he would basically not meet anyone except those who went to the black market to buy food.

Zhou Jin didn't think about searching all the empty houses in a day or two. Of course, this was unrealistic, so Zhou Jin made the following arrangements for himself.

If the empty house is nearby, you can visit two or three a night. If it is farther away, you can only visit one a night. Never be greedy and go home when you are done.

The days ahead are long and there is plenty of time.

You know what, Zhou Jin has gotten a lot of good things in just this week. Sijiu City is indeed an ancient capital, and those who were able to live in the courtyard houses before were definitely not simple people.

Basically, every courtyard house that Zhou Jin visited had a lot of good things hidden in it, the most common of which were gold and antiques.

But there was basically no gain from ordinary houses.

That morning, the sun shone through the mist onto the streets and alleys of Old Beijing, casting a soft glow on this ancient city.

Zhou Jin went to work at the steel mill as usual. He walked with steady steps, moving among the bustling crowd.

The moment he stepped into the office, Ryuji's anxious voice came into his mind.

"Brother, I just received news that Xu Fugui was sentenced to death yesterday, and his wife was sentenced to three years." Long Er's voice was particularly clear.

Zhou Jin was slightly stunned, and then just responded calmly: "I know."

There was not much expression on his face, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.

To be honest, in Zhou Jin's heart, the one who had a grudge against him was Xu Damao, not Xu Fugui and his wife.

If they had not been bent on revenge against him, he would never have taken any action against them.

After all, he is not the kind of person who would take revenge and bring harm to his family.

However, Xu Fugui and his men chose the wrong path. They actually found more than a dozen thugs at once, obviously wanting to kill him.

This behavior undoubtedly touched Zhou Jin's bottom line. In this era full of challenges and opportunities, everyone is working hard for their own lives.

Zhou Jin is no exception. He just wants to live his life peacefully and does not want to be troubled by unnecessary troubles. But since Xu Fugui and his wife took the initiative to provoke the dispute, they must pay the price for their actions.

The current outcome may be what Xu Fugui and his wife deserve, but they were blinded by hatred and made the wrong decision.

Zhou Jin, while protecting himself, also added some reasonable information so that the law would give them the punishment they deserved.

Zhou Jin then regained his composure and began to deal with the documents on the table.

In fact, there is really nothing important happening in the purchasing department right now, so when Zhou Jin comes to work, he basically just shows up, signs a few signatures, and leaves.

But it’s not possible today. I have to go to a meeting later. They said there is something important to notify you. This was notified a few days ago. Otherwise, Zhou Jin would not come to work today.

Zhou Jin stayed in the office for an hour, then looked at the time, thought it was about time, and got up to go to the meeting room.

Find your seat, sit down, and wait for the meeting to start.

Ten minutes later, the conference room was full of people, but there were three empty seats on the podium, and they were in the middle, which made Zhou Jin feel a little puzzled.

Because he saw Li Huaide was already on the stage. Logically speaking, he was now in charge of the steel rolling mill, so he should sit in the middle seat.

But he was sitting next to him, and Zhou Jin noticed that Li Huaide's expression seemed a little lonely, and he looked a little tired.

Zhou Jin immediately realized that perhaps today's meeting was related to the position of factory director, and Li Huaide might not have been able to make the further progress he wished.

While Zhou Jin was still thinking, the door of the conference room opened again, and three people walked in. One of them was someone Zhou Jin knew. He was Secretary Li, who had not been seen in the steel mill for a long time.

Secretary Li is old, and coupled with the injuries he suffered during the war, he has been recuperating all year round and rarely takes care of the specific affairs of the steel mill. Zhou Jin has only met him a few times.

Zhou Jin didn't recognize the two people next to him. If his guess was correct, one of them should be the new director of the steel rolling mill, and the other one was most likely the leader of the Ministry of Industry who put him in office.

Sure enough, the three men walked straight to the podium without hesitation, and then sat down in the three empty seats in the middle without any hesitation.

At this moment, Zhou Jin keenly noticed that Li Huaide suddenly turned his head and stared closely at the youngest of the three.

His eyes were filled with deep resentment and unwillingness, but he had to hide his emotions.

However, when Secretary Li suddenly looked at Li Huaide, Li Huaide immediately put on a flattering smile as if by magic, as if nothing had happened.

This scene left Zhou Jin dumbfounded; he could hardly believe his eyes.

This skill of changing face instantly, seamlessly and without any flaws is truly amazing. He is a true master!

At this moment, all the people have arrived and the conference is about to officially begin.

Zhou Jin noticed that Li Huaide slowly stood up, apparently preparing to preside over the meeting.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Zhou Jin couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Li Huaide struggled for this position for such a long time, and put in countless efforts and hard work, but in the end he gave the fruits of victory to others.

What's even more ridiculous is that he now has to personally preside over the inauguration ceremony for the person who stole his achievements. This is undoubtedly the biggest irony to him and is simply a murder.

I don't know who arranged this, it's really too much, it's not even the New Year yet and they're already thinking about slaughtering the pig.

Li Huaide was wearing a neat Zhongshan suit, but his face was a little gloomy. His heart was like a surging wave, filled with endless bitterness and resentment.
