Siheyuan: If you ruin the reputation of the whole courtyard, I will move out

Zhang Xueer felt a surge of warmth in her heart when she heard this. She looked at the person in front of her with gratitude. Even the security guard at the gate felt uncomfortable and wondered whether he should let her avoid disturbing others. "Go home quickly! Call us if you have any questions." Zhang Yu waved to Zhang Xueer and took the lead to walk to the car parked nearby.

Not long after walking, I heard Zhang Xueer shouting, "Thank you, Brother Peng!"

Zhang Yu waved back, indicating that Zhang Xueer should leave quickly.

After returning home, Zhang Xueer handed the mask disinfectant in her hand to her mother, "Yan Peng is very thoughtful. In this special period, he took the risk to deliver the masks." Zhang's mother took the things with her eyes full of emotion.

"Mom, put them away quickly. These are hard to get now, and there's nowhere to buy them even if you have money." Zhang's mother nodded and quickly put them away.

The date originally planned for reunion at the Yan family on the third day of the Chinese New Year seems to have become unpredictable. "It seems that it is unclear how long the lockdown of the community will last." Father Zhang said anxiously in front of the TV.

Zhang Xueer was worried: "I just received a notice from the school that the start of school has been postponed, and the specific new date is still uncertain."

While the Zhang family was worried, Zhang Yu drove home and went straight to Yan's father's residence. "Dad, the factory still has some masks, let's donate them to Hubei!" he suggested.

Father Yan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he praised repeatedly: "Your suggestion is very good. I have been wondering why you suddenly stockpiled so many masks, and now they really come in handy."

Zhang Yu then added: "Not only masks, we can also provide supplies to the frontline in the name of Yan's Furniture."

Father Yan waved his hand proudly: "Then leave it to you. It's no problem to give some money to help others."

Zhang Yu nodded and agreed: "I have planned to donate 10 million."

Yan's father was slightly startled, surprised that his son asked for such a large sum at the beginning. Although the family was wealthy, exceeding 500 million (including real estate assets), the money that could be mobilized was estimated to be only tens of millions. "Ten million is ten million, but you have to remember that I need you to supervise this batch of materials yourself and not let others get involved. Do you understand what I mean?" Yan's father solemnly warned.

"Don't worry, I will watch it from beginning to end, and every penny will be spent wisely." Zhang Yu responded firmly.

Immediately, Yan's father took out his mobile phone and began to call old friends to inquire about their willingness. "I will also contact a few acquaintances to see if they have any intention to donate, and how to distribute the supplies."

At the same time, Zhang Yu was also busy, contacting people to buy supplies and stabilizing the factory staff, working until late at night. He thought the time had come and was about to rest when he received a call from Tian Yulan: "Yan Peng, Uncle Nan is dying."

Zhang Yu's heart was shocked: Nan Jianlong left at a really bad time!

He tried to calm the other person down: "Don't be nervous, I'll be there soon."

Tian Yulan advised: "Don't go to the hospital yet. The current prevention and control is very strict and it is difficult to get in and out."

"What should we do? Does the hospital have any arrangements?" Zhang Yu asked about the details.

"The hospital said that after Uncle Nan passes away, his body will be placed in the morgue first, and the crematorium will be notified to handle it after the situation eases a little."

Frowning, Zhang Yu asked about Uncle Nan's situation: "Is Uncle Nan gone?"

Tian Yulan replied: "Not yet, but the hospital has stopped all efforts to save the baby. Mom is very sad."

"Okay, got it. If there is any progress, let me know immediately." After leaving the instructions, Zhang Yu hung up the phone. He thought about it and finally decided to call Nan Li. Unexpectedly, it was Xia Huanhuan who answered the phone, not Nan Li as expected: "Uncle, Mom has fainted and is now unconscious." She said anxiously.

Zhang Yu's heart tightened. It was really adding insult to injury. Nan Li was seriously ill at this time. "Huanhuan, don't worry, I'll go to your house right away." He packed up and prepared to go out, but then he remembered that there was still Yan's father. So he called his father who was beside the bed: "Dad, you come with us to see Huanhuan. You can't bring the child to the hospital."

Zhang Yu also used his connections to get Yan's father to arrange a bed in the hospital. When the two arrived at Nan Li's residence, they were stopped by the security guard. After much persuasion, they were finally allowed to enter. After entering the door, Xia Huanhuan immediately ran into Zhang Yu's arms and said in a panic, "Uncle, Mom is not moving."

Hearing this, Zhang Yu's face changed, and he rushed into the room. He saw Nan Li lying on the bed, her face red as if she had a fever, and she had fallen into a coma. He didn't waste time, and directly covered Nan Li with the quilt and picked her up. He confirmed the situation in the hospital with Yan's father: "I have informed Director Yang, and he will make proper arrangements. Remember to do a comprehensive examination when you arrive at the hospital to make sure there is no infection, otherwise you can't leave."

At this time, Father Yan understood the urgency of the situation and said only a few necessary things without further ado. Zhang Yu carried Nan Li in his arms and hurried downstairs, ready to drive there.

At the hospital, a group of people in protective clothing came forward and took away Nan Li, a guest who needed special care due to high fever. Zhang Yu was isolated and after a series of examinations, it took about an hour for him to calm down.

Ultimately, we have to wait for the results to be known before we can make the next plan.

At this moment, Zhang Yu found an opportunity to call Xia Junshan. Xia Junshan on the other end of the phone was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a while after hearing the news. He asked Nan Li with concern: "Is Lili okay?"

"The doctor has started treatment and has taken preliminary emergency measures. We are waiting for the test report. Once it is confirmed that there is no virus, she will be out of danger." Zhang Yu had watched some medical dramas and understood that Nan Li just had a common cold and a high fever, so he was not nervous.

However, to Xia Junshan, who was unaware of the situation, the situation seemed critical. "I will try to get back to Jiangzhou City immediately," he said firmly.

Zhang Yu stopped her, "Calm down. Nan Li is in the hospital now. It will be useless if you come back. Wait until the epidemic is over and the city is open to traffic again before going back. Huan Huan will be taken care of by my parents for the time being. They will take good care of her."

Hearing Zhang Yu's kindness, Xia Junshan said, "I really appreciate it. I will reward you well after returning to Jiangzhou." Faced with frequent thanks, Zhang Yu smiled and said, "Our two families have a deep friendship, so there is no need to say more polite words."

Then came the agreement, "When I return to Jiangzhou, I will definitely treat you to a meal as a reward," he said.

"Just give me a big meal, I can handle it!" Zhang Yu said jokingly.

Xia Junshan replied: "As long as you can eat it, just order it."

After the two exchanged greetings for a while, Zhang Yu advised Xia Junshan not to rush back and to wait until the situation stabilized and traffic was unblocked.

After a tiring day, Zhang Yu took a nap on a chair in the hospital. In the morning, the doctor woke him up and told him that the test results were out and both of them were fine. Nan Li's fever subsided after the drip, and she only needed to be observed for a few more hours before she could go home.

There was no one at Nan Li's house, so Zhang Yu had to take her back to his own home first. Fortunately, the guest room at home was still empty.

Although Nan Li no longer had a high fever, she still looked very weak. Zhang Yu asked Yan's mother to help take care of her, after all, everyone was at home and had nothing to do.

Zhao Na, who originally wanted to take Nan Li and Xia Huanhuan away, gave up the idea at Zhang Yu's suggestion because she was worried that she would not be able to take care of the patients and children as the eldest princess.

Xia Huanhuan lives with Yan Ziyou in the Yan Mansion. With the company of the Yan brothers, life is not lonely. The addition of a child to the family also makes the two old people very happy.

In addition to the donation activities and remote online classes, Zhang Yu did not forget to take time and resources to tutor Xia Huanhuan. Yan Ziyu's joining has significantly improved her learning efficiency.

Nan Li was able to recuperate at Yan's house with peace of mind, silently grateful for their help but not saying it out loud.

Nan Jianlong eventually passed away on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year. Cai Juying and Tian Yulan were both very sad.

Nan Li and Xia Huanhuan spent a whole month at the Yan family, and returned to their home together when the lockdown was lifted.

During the quarantine period, Zhang Yu did not do nothing. He opened online courses and earned money. In contrast, Zhong Yi's situation was extremely miserable. Not only did he suffer heavy losses, he was also heavily in debt. In despair, he even wanted to commit suicide. In the end, it was Zhang Yu and Dai Sisi who dissuaded him from his crazy behavior in time.

After Zhang Yu brought Zhong Yi back to the company, Dai Sisi always held his hand to prevent him from making stupid decisions.

"Don't worry, I won't do anything stupid again. I just don't have the courage now." Zhong Yi patted the back of Dai Sisi's hand gently and said comfortingly.

Dai Sisi cried, "I was really scared just now. I was afraid of losing you. Fortunately, Brother Yan came in time."

Zhong Yi lowered his head in guilt: "I didn't expect Brother Yan to come to save me."

Dai Sisi held his hand tightly: "Can Brother Yan really help us?"

Zhong Yi replied evasively: "I don't know, but now for me, there is nothing I cannot give up except you."

Dai Sisi said firmly: "I will not leave you, please rest assured."

"You are so stupid. I am burdened with so much debt. You will not have a good life following me." Zhong Yi sighed.

"As long as you are here, every day is beautiful for me." Dai Sisi responded.

"Brother, do you know? I have actually admired you for a long time. I was the top scorer in the college entrance examination and I could choose any university, but I chose Jiangzhou just to be closer to you." She spoke her true feelings.

Zhong Yi opened his mouth in shock: "How could you be so stupid? You actually gave up your future just for me?"

"My future lies in you," Dai Sisi said decisively.

"When I found out you already had a girlfriend, I no longer liked you. But when you needed my help to start your own company, we had a chance to get closer again." Dai Sisi murmured, "You know what? I didn't mean to be with you before, but I couldn't help missing you after being with you day and night."

"I don't deserve your love." Zhong Yi said apologetically.

The truth is, his feelings for Zhang Xueer are much deeper than those for Dai Sisi. He was with Dai Sisi more out of impulse than true love.

"I know you like Sister Xueer. At the beginning, I was even willing to secretly be your lifelong mistress." Dai Sisi confided her feelings in a foolish manner.

Zhong Yi looked at her with pity: "I'm really sorry, I'm not qualified."

"As long as you think it's worth it." Dai Sisi said firmly: "No matter what I become, don't even think about letting me leave."

Seeing her smile, Zhong Yi was deeply moved: "Okay, as long as you don't hate me, I will always be by your side."

At this moment, Zhang Xueer and Zhang Yu were standing by the door, and they heard their conversation clearly. Zhang Xueer came here after being persuaded by Zhang Yu, and her original intention was to persuade Zhong Yi to give up the idea, but she happened to encounter such affectionate words.

Despite the breakup, Zhang Xueer still has some emotional entanglements with Zhong Yi due to their years of love. Now, after listening to Dai Sisi's affectionate confession, she finally realized that her feelings were far inferior to Dai Sisi's. In Zhang Xueer's opinion, Dai Sisi was the one who was truly suitable to spend her life with Zhong Yi.

Zhang Xueer turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Zhang Yu.

"Don't you want to see Zhong Yi again?" Zhang Yu asked with concern.

"No, he won't seek death again as long as she is around." Zhang Xueer suddenly said with relief.

Zhang Yu asked, "Do you want me to go home with you?"

"Okay." Zhang Xueer did not resist.

The two walked out of the building side by side. On the way, Zhang Xueer suddenly asked Zhang Yu: "Brother Yan, why did you help Zhong Yi? He treated you like that."

"As a friend, I have no reason to be resentful or sad no matter whether his situation is good or bad. Besides, his crime does not deserve the death penalty," Zhang Yu replied.

Zhang Xueer sighed: "You are such a good person."

Zhang Yu shook his head, refusing to accept the praise. In fact, he had no desire for good deeds. How could he be considered a good person if he had spared no expense to remove Qin Huairu's unborn fetus?

But in the reincarnation, he understood the most basic respect for life and the bottom line of justice. Although Zhang Yu knew that Zhong Yi's consequences today were his own fault and did not directly hurt him, he did not want him to go astray in his heart.

Zhang Xueer got in the car and suddenly turned to Zhang Yu and asked, "My mom asked me to ask you, come to my house for dinner when you have time."

"Originally, our two families wanted to reunite during the Spring Festival, but we didn't expect to encounter the epidemic. We can go to a restaurant for dinner together on the weekend." Zhang Yu said nonchalantly.

"My mother specially invited you to have a meal alone at her house." Zhang Xueer said softly with her head down, her cheeks slightly flushed.

Hearing this, Zhang Yu was stunned for a moment, and soon realized that Zhang's mother might be trying to bring them together. "Then should I explain our relationship to my aunt?" he asked.

"Actually, I really hope you can come to my house for dinner." Zhang Xueer's eyes were cast towards the scenery outside the window. Her casual words contained strong expectations, and her rosy face looked like a ripe apple.

If Zhang Yu still didn't understand the meaning of Zhang Xueer's words, then he was really very slow.

To be honest, he made friends with Zhang Xueer more because he hoped that she could take better care of Yan Ziyou at school, and he had no intention of pursuing her. He had always regarded Zhang Xueer as a good friend.

It was just obvious that Zhang Xueer's feelings towards him had quietly changed.

"Okay, I'll find some time to come over." Since the other party had said it clearly, it would seem pretentious for him to hide it, not to mention that he had no ill will towards Zhang Xueer.

After sending Zhang Xueer back home, Zhang Yu went to find Zhong Yi. After Dai Sisi's counseling, Zhong Yi felt much better.

"Tell me about your situation in detail. How much money have you borrowed from outside? How much money is left in the company account? How many students have dropped out of the class?" Zhang Yu asked straight to the point.

Zhong Yi replied: "I borrowed 150,000 yuan to start a new company. Now the principal and interest are estimated to be around 3 million yuan. The company has long been unable to make ends meet. We can't even pay this month's salary, and most of the students have dropped out of class."

Hearing this, Zhang Yu asked again: "What about the Mathematics Academy you mentioned before? Don't they also have investments?"

The honest Zhong Yi replied: "The Mathematics School itself is also in turmoil, and it is even more difficult for them to continue."

After thinking for a while, Zhang Yu said, "Your situation is more serious than I thought, but it is not completely irreversible." This filled him with a glimmer of hope.

Hearing this, Zhong Yi asked anxiously: "Boss Yan, is there any way to solve this problem?"

After deep thought, Zhang Yu asked, "What is the guarantee for your loan?"

Zhong Yi confessed: "At that time, I borrowed money at high interest using the name of the Mathematics Academy, without any collateral."

So Zhang Yu said: "Such a high interest rate is obviously illegal. I can help you contact and resolve it. You may be able to pay less interest, but the principal must be paid off."

Then he said, "As for your office rental problem, I can help you take over. I am planning to expand the scale of business. This way you can reduce some of the rent and use it to repay the debt."

Zhong Yi expressed his gratitude and said sincerely: "Mr. Yan, I don't know how to express my gratitude."

Zhang Yu smiled and said, "Helping you is not unconditional."

This surprised Zhong Yi and he didn't know what it meant.

"First, you need to sell me the 10% of shares you got at the beginning, but I will give you a reasonable price," Zhang Yu added.

In response, Zhong Yi answered readily: "No problem, in fact, I feel a little guilty about these shares."

"Second, I can advance the money for you, but you need to work for me to repay the debt." Zhang Yu explained again.

Zhong Yi was in a dilemma: "If I don't give extra lessons to the students, what else can I do?"

Zhang Yu smiled and explained: "This double reduction is aimed at large-scale tutoring institutions, not all of them. There is still room for one-on-one private tutoring. Moreover, one-on-one teaching charges higher fees. If you can't do it, you can teach online. After all, there will always be work to do."

After hearing Zhang Yu's thorough analysis of the situation, Zhong Yi suddenly realized that he and Zhang Yu were indeed different. He used to focus only on academics but not much on policies. However, Zhang Yu had already made proper arrangements without realizing it, which was also the key to his ability to make money during the epidemic.

Zhong Yi made a promise: "Mr. Yan, from now on I will work harder and pay off the loan as soon as possible."

Dai Sisi also took the initiative to say: "I am also willing to repay it together with Brother Zhong."

Zhang Yu looked at them and smiled: "A friend in need is a friend indeed!"
