Siheyuan works as a nanny for Shazhu

Now, Jiang Feng spends his days cooking and walking around the neighborhood. Sometimes he goes to sit at Uncle Huang's place, but most of the time he sits at home. He is thinking that the backyard is now ready, and he can move there when the time comes. He will get a lock and lock the door, and then it will be his own small yard.

When Zhao Xuelin came back in the evening, Jiang Feng told her about Xu Damao's house in the backyard. Zhao Xuelin also knew that Jiang Feng had been busy collecting the houses during this period, and there were only a few families left in the whole yard. Anyway, Jiang Feng would take care of these things. She was now concentrating on the factory and had no time to take care of these things.

After coming back, she ate something in a hurry, then went into the house with the information she brought back. Jiang Feng did not expect that she would be so serious when asked to do something. Now that she was home, she didn't even have time to say a few words. After watching Shishi and Weiguo finish their meal, he urged them to do their homework quickly, and then Jiang Feng cleaned up the dishes and went to wash them.

After the kitchen was cleaned up, Jiang Feng entered the house. Zhao Xuelin was looking at some documents with the desk lamp on. Jiang Feng turned on the headlight and said, "Don't think about saving electricity. Be careful not to damage your eyes."

"Yeah, I can see. It's okay."

"Xiaoxue, I think I need to have a good talk with you."

"Well, wait, let me finish reading these first."

Jiang Feng shook his head and took the information. Zhao Xuelin looked at Jiang Feng and said, "Work is work, family is family. I want to make three rules for you. You are not allowed to bring things from the factory back to do. You have to learn to let go and do everything yourself. The factory will get bigger and bigger in the future. Can you manage it alone?"

"Didn't you ask me to take care of it? Then I must do it well. Even if I am not worse than Xiao'e, I should be about the same as her. I feel that I am still lacking. How can I not hurry up?"

"You are the factory director. Management requires you to learn how to use people. Just let go of small matters and grasp the personnel and financial power. Doesn't the factory still have a production manager? You don't need to know the process of these production matters, you just need the results. Let them do it. As long as the results are good, the factory will operate normally."

Zhao Xuelin lowered her head and said nothing. Jiang Feng stepped forward, grabbed her hand and said, "This factory will become bigger and bigger in the future. How can you handle it by yourself? You have to learn to let them take care of it. Otherwise, I can mobilize the board of directors to remove you from the position of executive director."

Zhao Xuelin knew Jiang Feng was joking. At that time, three people formed a board of directors at home. The other two directors were Jiang Feng and Lou Xiaoe. She smiled and said, "Alright, alright, I can't argue with you. I won't pay attention to these things in the future. I'll just do as you said and focus on the big ones and let go of the small ones. Just keep an eye on the few people below."

"By the way, just manage the people who are responsible for you. If there is a problem, hold them accountable. Go to the workshop from time to time. Anyway, some of the directors and workers below don't know you. If there is a problem, they will naturally come to you."

"Well, I'll listen to you. It's hard to do anything now. You have to take care of everything. So many people depend on you for food, and you're worried that business will be bad and you won't even be able to pay their salaries."

"You're kidding. Do you think I'm here to do nothing? We are only in the inner city now. In the future, our stores will be all over the country. Will you still be able to manage it by then? My plan is to build a large factory in the south and the central region within five years. This one is only for the north, and we will also transform to sell other types of clothes in the future."

Jiang Feng was thinking about the cold weather in the north, and planned to design a down jacket next year. Now the main problem was the lack of raw materials. Where could he collect so much duck down? He had to wait for the development of the breeding industry. Could he push it through in a year?

The spirit whispered in Zhao Xuelin's ear: "Go check on the children. Go to bed early today. I will punish you well tonight."

Zhao Xuelin blushed and said unconvincedly: "Humph, it seems that Sister Xiao'e didn't feed you enough. Let's see who begs for mercy first tonight."

After saying that, he stood up, pushed Jiang Feng, and went out. He went to the two children and watched them do their homework. One is in junior high school and the other is in elementary school. Their academic performance is just average. According to Jiang Feng, it is not as good as the best but better than the worst. It doesn't matter much. If they can study hard, they can be sent to study outside.

For example, He Xiao is now learning management and how to manage people in several restaurants. Jiang Feng just asked him to learn and did not say what he would do in the future. However, Jiang Feng already has an idea. If he relies on the mountain, he will eat from the mountain; if he relies on the water, he will eat from the water. Of course, the one he relies on is He Yuzhu's cooking skills. He will just follow this path in the future.

If your children are capable in the future, you can leave the property to them. If they are not capable, you can hire someone else to take care of it. At least you can still look after it for another ten or twenty years, and you can live a life without worries about food and clothing and live in peace.

The next day, Jiang Feng prepared 3000 yuan, enough for two rooms, and went directly to Xu Fugui's house. Xu Fugui was also a very presentable person. He had written the agreement and bought the house at the market price of 2600 yuan. He went to the street office that day to find someone to handle the formalities. Jiang Feng said hello and went upstairs.

Since I was already at the street office, it would be unreasonable not to go and see Uncle Huang. I went to the director's office, knocked on the door and went in. Huang Ming is old now, and his hair is almost white. He will probably retire in a few more years.

Seeing Jiang Feng coming, Huang Ming stood up and said, "Why are you free today? Are you here to do something?"

Jiang Feng handed over a cigarette and poured himself a glass of water: "Yes, my courtyard has taken over two more rooms, so I came here to handle the formalities. Since I'm here, it's a good opportunity to see you."

"Why are you buying so many houses now? Houses are for living in. It's enough if they are big enough for you to live in."

"Yes, you see, I have four children, at least I should give each of them a house, and leave one for myself, that's five houses, right? Uncle Huang, listen to me, if someone is selling your house, buy your yard as well, at least Xiaowei and Xiaoli will have a place to live when they come back."

Huang Ming nodded. What he said was true, but housing prices are still rising. Xiaoli is still in school. Although Xiaowei doesn’t need to be worried about, he is still in the army. He is old and has not yet married. Half of the couple’s hair has turned white because of this.

Jiang Feng looked at Huang Ming's embarrassment, slapped his thigh and said, "Look, Xiaowei has not written back yet. If he still doesn't change his job, ask him to come back quickly. I have something for him to do. Uncle Huang, don't worry, you can ask about the house. If you don't have the money, just tell me. Just think of it as Xiaowei asking me to borrow money, and he will be responsible for it in the future."

"You are still that scoundrel. You still have some money, but it's not enough to buy the whole yard. I guess it will cost at least 10,000 or 20,000 yuan."

"It's a small matter, don't think about it. Go back and tell Auntie and get ready to buy it. I'll send you 20,000 yuan tomorrow, and I'll deduct it from Xiaowei's salary. Uncle Huang, I want to ask you something. Do you think many veterans like Xiaowei can't find jobs?"

"It's hard to arrange. In the past, they were all state-owned enterprises. Some would be arranged, and some would go to the public security system. However, many of them were demobilized and returned home, so there weren't that many positions to arrange. And some of them were disabled, so it was even harder to arrange positions. But where did you get so much money?"

"Uncle Huang, you don't know that I opened a factory and I get annual dividends from Zhuzige's restaurant. Otherwise, where would I get so much money? I recently spent tens of thousands of dollars to buy a house in the yard."

"Well, it's good as long as it's earned legitimately, but I can't pay you back so much money in a short time."

"Look at what you said. This is what I think. Xiaowei should have a lot of comrades. When he comes back, I will talk to him. We can open a security company and recruit these veterans. Usually, some factories, mines, and companies can hire security companies to protect them. This is also their main business and reduces the burden on the country."

"Will this work? Is there anyone who will hire him? Xiaowei doesn't have the money to start a company, but you're the one who's going to pay, so you better be careful."

"Uncle Huang, no problem. I also need to hire someone to look after the factory under my own name. Don't worry, in the future, for some commercial exhibitions, we will hire someone to do security work. It can be used in any private business activities."

“Will it develop to that point in the future? Aren’t these businessmen capitalists? Why are they back again after so many years?”

"Uncle Huang, capital has to be operated in a certain way. Exploiting the working class is not okay, but without these people, where would the working class go to work? The country has run state-owned enterprises for so many years, but are all those factory managers good?"

Huang Ming lowered his head and pondered after hearing this. It had not been long since Liu and Zhang's lesson. It was normal to take things and eat them. Just like himself, Jiang Feng usually sent him some things, and he just accepted them directly. If Jiang Feng really needed help, could he refuse? In a society where favors are given, how could he stop these favors?

The two chatted for a while, and Jiang Feng also urged him to urge Xiaowei to retire from the army so that he could find him a wife when he came back, otherwise it would be useless to urge him as the emperor was far away. Huang Ming waved his hand, and Jiang Feng turned and left as he had to go back to cook.

After leaving the street office, Jiang Feng rode his bike back to the yard and started cooking in a hurry. When the two children came back and finished their meal, Jiang Feng urged them to take a rest at noon. He didn't even clean up his own dishes. He slowly went to the backyard and looked left and right. He thought he could install a door on the backyard corridor first, because the two families in front would never be able to come to the backyard in the future.

Jiang Feng watched the children go to school in the afternoon while he waited at home alone. At about two o'clock, he saw Damao's wife come back and found Jiang Feng and said, "Director Jiang, my father asked me to pack up first because the cart will be here later."

"Okay, go ahead. The door is still locked. Do you have the key?"

"Yes, I will go first."

Jiang Feng nodded. The country wife that Xu Damao found was an honest woman, but Xu Damao must have some leverage over her. With Xu Damao being such a smart man, he might have found such a woman on purpose.
