Siheyuan: Big City, Small Love

"Brother, it's so difficult to get a B, how about a C?" Wu'er lay on He Lai and begged with a sigh.

"Don't ask me, ask mom. If mom agrees, I'll have no objection."

He Lai laughed directly.

When Wu'er heard Wu Juan being asked, she immediately stopped talking. After all, there was no way Wu Juan would agree. She wished she could study at home every day.

"Wu'er, I'm telling you, if you don't get a B on this semester's final exam, I won't take you to Grandpa Zhou's house at the next Canton Fair."

Wu Juan said.

When Wu'er heard this, she immediately felt very aggrieved and kept pulling He Lai, hoping that he would come out and say something.

He Lai had no time to take care of her. He was holding He Tong and teasing He Xin in Yu Shui's arms. He really had no energy to take care of Wu'er.

When Wu'er saw that He Lai was indifferent, she knew that she had to work hard and do well in the exam, so she could only go back to her room and read.

"Xiao Laizi, you stay at home every day, so you don't have to take care of the factory?"

Wu Juan asked.

"Ah? It's okay. Zixuan is helping to manage the factory. I don't have to worry about anything."

He Lai replied directly.

"Then why does your father go to work every day? I feel like your factory will go bankrupt without him," said Wu Juan.

"Uh... well, that might be because Dad just joined the factory and wants to learn more about it. I guess it will be fine after a while."

He Lai could only explain.

"After a while, after a while, Xiao Laizi, you said the same thing last time."

Wu Juan gave He Lai a blank look.

"Haha, is that so?" He Lai smiled awkwardly, and then said, "Mom, He Tong has fallen asleep, carry her back to the room and lie down for a while."

Wu Juan was speechless, but still took the sleeping He Tong and went upstairs.

Seeing this, Yu Shui chuckled and said, "Brother Lai, talk to Dad and ask him to stop staying in the industrial park every day and pay more attention to Mom, or even take Mom to the industrial park for a walk."

He Lai smacked his lips and nodded in agreement. His father was really a workaholic. He Lai even regretted letting him manage the security company.

After lunch, He Lai went to He Zhan's security company. Since everyone knew He Lai, no one stopped him or notified He Zhan, so He Lai went straight to He Zhan's office.

At this time, He Zhan was still learning English. There was no other way. These people from all over the world basically spoke English. Only some Chinese or overseas Chinese knew a little Chinese.

As the head of a security company, he naturally couldn't ask his assistant to translate every time, so learning English was very necessary for him.

"Dad, I'm still learning!" He Lai said with a smile.

"Well, how come you have time to come here?" He Zhan looked up at him and continued reading his English book.

"Dad, I'm here to tell you something." He Lai coughed and said.

"What's the matter? If it's something unimportant, don't talk about it. I'm busy." He Zhan said without raising his head.

He Lai sighed helplessly, "Dad, can you stop being so busy and spend more time with mom? You spend all day here just learning English. You can learn English anywhere, even at home."

As soon as He Zhan heard it, he knew what He Lai meant, and could only nod awkwardly to show that he understood.

"What's the use of just knowing? So, Dad, I'll ask Zixuan to send someone to the security company to help you take care of it first. As for you, just stay at home and accompany mom. It would be great to learn English with mom!"

He Lai suggested.

"Good boy, your father has worked hard for half a year to build this company that belongs to me, and you come to pick peaches with just one word!"

He Zhan was so angry that he almost laughed at He Lai's words.

"Hey, Dad, what's yours and mine? I'm your son, it's the same.

Besides, it is mother who is angry now. She is the eldest in the family. If she is unhappy, she will have a hard time in the future. You should also take on the responsibility of a husband. "He Lai said with a smile.

He Zhan was silent for a while, then slowly said: "Okay, then I'll go back to accompany Juanzi, but don't send anyone from the company. I think Xiao Zhang is a good person. Let him take charge of the company first, and I'll feel at ease."

"OK, no problem. I'll call a meeting and announce this now."

After He finished speaking, he walked out.

"Hey, hey, hey, you..." He Zhan was so sad that he could not even cry. He could only curse in his heart.

Things were done very quickly. Since the big boss He Lai had spoken, no employee dared to object.

"Xiao Zhang, work hard and don't let my father down." He Lai patted Assistant Zhang on the shoulder and said with a smile.

"Get out of here, you little brat! You're not even as old as the others, yet you dare to call them Xiao Zhang Xiao Zhang."

He Zhan pushed He Lai aside and turned to Assistant Zhang and said, "Xiao Zhang, thank you for your hard work during this period. If you have any problems, remember to call me."

"Got it, Brother Zhan. I will definitely help you manage the company and will never embarrass you." Assistant Zhang said and saluted He Zhan.

"Okay, then go and get busy."

"Yes!"

……

After solving the security company's problem, He Lai took He Zhan to a jewelry store and bought a pearl necklace for Wu Juan.

There was no way. Wu Juan didn't want to wear the gold necklace, but she could barely accept the pearl one.

When Wu Juan returned to the villa, she saw He Zhan coming back with her. Her eyes flickered for a moment, but were quickly suppressed.

"Mom, how is your son? Is he reliable? I have fired your father. From now on, I can stay at home with you every day. Are you happy?"

He Lai sat next to Wu Juan and said flatteringly.

"Really?" Wu Juan asked doubtfully.

"Dad, you tell me yourself." After He said that, he walked to the rain to look at his son.

He Zhan could only stuff the gift box in his hand into Wu Juan's hands and take He Tong from Wu Juan's arms.

"Well, I'll stay at home with you from now on."

When Wu Juan heard what He Zhan said, she looked at the gift box in her hand and her smile gradually became unstoppable.

……

In this way, the atmosphere of fireworks in the house became much stronger, and there was laughter and joy every day, it was very lively.

At He Lai's reminder, He Zhan would take Wu Juan out to play and stroll from time to time.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye we have arrived at the era of reform and opening up.

Over the years, Hong Kong has undergone considerable changes. The Independent Commission Against Corruption was established to thoroughly investigate corruption.

The era of detectives also came to an end during this period. A number of detectives including Lei Luo fled overseas, and many assets that could not be taken away were seized.

Because of He Lai, Bo Hao no longer sold drugs, which naturally led to fewer dirty things.

During this period, He Lai also cooperated with the shipping tycoon Pao Yue-Kong to develop maritime trade, involving everything from oil, electrical appliances, to coal.

He Lai also went to many Western countries and stole a lot of money from banks, but these banks did not dare to make it public, as if nothing had happened.

He Lai also figured it out. Banks are about security. If word gets out that the money has been stolen, who would keep money in a bank?

In addition, many of China's national treasures that had been lost abroad are now in He Lai's hands, including those from Taiwan Island, all of which were taken by He Lai.

The worst thing is their daily life. The Yasukuni Shrine was directly destroyed by He Lai.

There was no other way. He Lai realized that it was faster to use spatial abilities to steal things than to do business honestly.

He Lai also bought several islands in Southeast Asia and converted them into his own private islands.
