Only children in Siheyuan make choices. I want them all.

Zhang Jianjun nodded slightly to show his approval, then turned around and slowly walked out of the factory director's office. As he walked, he secretly thanked himself for not acting impulsively and directly mentioned the investment in the factory to the factory director.

If I had done that at the time, I would have found it difficult to maximize my benefits. Now, not only has he successfully achieved his goal, but he has also unexpectedly gained a favor. This is really killing two birds with one stone, the best of both worlds! Thinking of this, Zhang Jianjun couldn't help but secretly rejoice in his heart.

At this moment, Lawrence came up and asked with a bright smile on his face: "Master, you are back! How is the negotiation going?"

Zhang Jianjun raised his lips slightly, revealing a smug smile, and replied softly: "The situation is not bad, apprentice. The factory is currently facing serious economic difficulties and urgently needs 200,000 yuan in funds to tide over the difficulties. When you talk to them later, you can raise the conditions appropriately and try to get more benefits for us. As a shrewd businessman, I believe you understand what I mean, right?"

A hint of cunning flashed in Lawrence's eyes, and he smiled knowingly and responded, "I understand! Master, please rest assured, leave everything to me." After that, the two smiled at each other, and understood each other.

Then, they went to the factory director's office together. As soon as they entered, Zhang Jianjun pointed at Lawrence and introduced him to Director Yang: "This is my favorite disciple, from the famous Lawrence family. He will discuss the details of the cooperation with you in detail."

Upon seeing this, Director Yang stepped forward and shook hands enthusiastically, saying with a smile, "Hello, Mr. Lawrence! I have heard of you for a long time, and I am very happy to meet you. I am the director of this factory."

Lawrence also stretched out his hand and shook hands with Director Yang: "I heard from Master that your factory is in financial crisis. I wonder how much money you need?"

Director Yang immediately answered: "At least two hundred thousand. I wonder if Mr. Lawrence can invest in our factory?"

Lawrence smiled and shook his head when he heard this. Director Yang thought that he didn't want to invest, so he immediately said anxiously: "Mr. Lawrence, if you have any request, just let us know. We will never refuse anything we can do!"

It seems that Director Yang is really anxious and actually lets Lawrence set any conditions he wants. It seems that this breach of contract will be a devastating blow to the steel mill.

"No, no, no! I mean, is two hundred thousand enough? No, I'll invest three hundred thousand. After all, my master has spoken, and I have to give him some face." Lawrence explained with a smile.

"Enough! Absolutely enough! I wonder if Mr. Lawrence has any conditions?" Director Yang and Deputy Director Li asked with a smile.

"My conditions are very simple. I just want to be given a position in the factory and follow my master. And there's also the issue of shares!" Lawrence stated his conditions.

"No problem! I will arrange a sinecure for you, and give you the largest share and dividends. What do you think? If possible, we will sign the contract immediately." Director Yang patted his chest and promised.

"Okay! Let's do it!" Lawrence took out a check from his pocket, wrote the number of three hundred thousand on it and handed it to Director Yang.

"Mr. Li, you go and get the customization...I'll draft the contract myself." Director Yang put the check on the table and then went out to draft the contract.

Half an hour later, the two contracts were stamped with official seals, one for the factory and one for Lawrence. Zhang Jianjun and Lawrence read the contents of the contract and signed their names only after finding no problems.

After the contract was signed, both Lawrence and Director Yang breathed a sigh of relief, and both sides felt that they had gotten a good deal.

"Director Yang, if there's nothing else, I'll leave first!" Zhang Jianjun asked with a smile.

"It's okay! Thank you, Jianjun." Director Yang nodded and bowed to express his gratitude.

"This is what I should do." Zhang Jianjun also said a few polite words, and then took Lawrence out of the factory director's office.

"It's settled. From now on, you should study hard with me. By the way, please bring me some food from abroad recently. The more the better. I can pay you." Zhang Jianjun suddenly remembered something and whispered to Lawrence.

"Master, why do you want food? And what kind of food do you want?" Lawrence was very confused and didn't understand what Zhang Jianjun wanted to do.

"A natural disaster is about to come, so just listen to me. The main thing is that I don't have any other ways, otherwise I would get food here myself. Remember, the more food the better! We can now officially practice!" Zhang Jianjun was obviously unwilling to explain more.

"Yeah!" Lawrence nodded, indicating that he understood.

Soon a morning of training was over, and Lawrence felt obviously very hungry and needed a lot of high-protein food.

This is why the Chinese people have always said that the poor are good at literature and the rich are good at martial arts. There were more than 490 emperors in my country, more than 600 top scholars in literature, but only more than 290 top scholars in martial arts. It can be seen how rare the top scholar in martial arts is.

"Master, I'm so hungry! Let's go to the cafeteria to eat!" Lawrence said with a bitter face.

"Why are you so sad? Are you too tired from the practice this morning? Let's go and have a meal, continue practicing in the afternoon, and go back to take a medicinal bath in the evening." Zhang Jianjun has already made clear arrangements for Lawrence.

Lawrence nodded and followed Zhang Jianjun reluctantly to the cafeteria to get food, where he happened to meet Yu Haitang.

"Brother Jianjun! What a coincidence that Lawrence is here? Are you here to get food too?" Yu Haitang asked with a smile.

"Haitang, aren't you married? Why are you still coming to work? Didn't the factory give you marriage leave?" Zhang Jianjun touched his head, a little confused about the situation.

"I plan to take leave during my wedding. After all, the wedding leave is not long, only fifteen days!" Yu Haitang explained.

"Okay!" Zhang Jianjun nodded. Now that Yu Haitang is married, it is necessary to keep a certain distance, whether it is to avoid suspicion or for other reasons.

When it was Zhang Jianjun's turn to get food, Lawrence took a look at the big pot of food and said with some dissatisfaction: "Why is there no meat? All five dishes are vegetarian!"

When Liu Lan saw that the person asking the question was a blond foreigner, she immediately replied with a smile: "The factory hasn't bought any meat recently, so you can just make do with what you have!"

Seeing this, Zhang Jianjun took Lawrence's lunch box and said to Liu Lan with a smile, "Let's have vegetarian dishes! Give me a cabbage stew with vermicelli, stir-fried shredded potatoes, five large steamed buns and a pound of rice."

Liu Lan was surprised when she heard this: "Can you two finish it? Do you need a lot of help?"

Zhang Jianjun said unhappily, "Hurry up and fight after you finish eating!"

Liu Lan pouted helplessly and could only do as she was told. Lawrence took the lunch box and sighed helplessly: "Hey! Master, let's find a seat!"

Zhang Jianjun shook his head: "Come with me back to the office, we won't eat in the cafeteria."

Lawrence understood immediately! Zhang Jianjun was going to give them a snack, so he didn't say a word and followed Zhang Jianjun happily.

Seeing Zhang Jianjun leave, Liu Lan couldn't help but complain, "Tsk! What a bastard! He's just a good-for-nothing!"

Soon Zhang Jianjun and Lawrence arrived at the office. After Zhang Jianjun closed the door, he took out three meat dishes from the space, including shredded pork with fish flavor, braised pork, and beef stewed with tomatoes.

"Wow! I knew that Master loves me." Lawrence looked at the three full boxes of meat and vegetables in front of him, his eyes wide open, as if he wanted to swallow them all into his stomach, and the saliva in his mouth flowed uncontrollably.

"Eat quickly! I still have more if it's not enough. It's just that we don't have much staple food, so we come to the cafeteria to get food." Zhang Jianjun explained with a smile.

"Hmm!" Lawrence was completely immersed in the world of food at this time, and had no time to care about anything else. He quickly grabbed a big steamed bun, opened his mouth and took a big bite, and finished the whole bun in just three bites.

"Eat slowly! If it's not enough, there's more!" Zhang Jianjun couldn't help but smile helplessly when he saw Lawrence wolfing down his food, and secretly sighed in his heart that this foreigner's physical fitness was really good.

However, at this moment, someone suddenly knocked on the office door, and then Yu Haitang opened the door and walked in.

"Brother Jianjun, when you left just now, that bitch Liu Lan actually cursed you behind your back, saying what a nobody you are and that you are just a good-for-nothing!" Yu Haitang said angrily.

Hearing this, Zhang Jianjun just smiled and replied nonchalantly: "Don't pay attention to her. Liu Lan likes to gossip and gossip everywhere. There is no need for us to be angry with such people. By the way, Haitang, how are your wedding preparations going?"

After hearing this, Yu Haitang smiled happily and said, "Sha Zhu has invited his master and fellow apprentices to help. Everything has been arranged. Don't worry!"

Zhang Jianjun nodded, showing his satisfaction. Then, he turned his head and looked at Lawrence who was eating, with a slight smile on his face...

Soon, five dishes, three meat dishes and two vegetable dishes, plus a pound of rice and five steamed buns, were all gone. Lawrence touched his stomach and said with a sense of unfulfilled desire, "Master, I'm still a little hungry!"

Yu Haitang said in surprise: "You guys are such big eaters! You're still not full after eating one pound of rice and five steamed buns? Isn't this too much?"

Zhang Jianjun had no choice but to say with his lips: "Let's talk about it later! Let's talk about it after Haitang leaves!"

Lawrence understood and nodded.

"Haitang, aren't you going home to rest at noon? We are going to rest!" Zhang Jianjun said tactfully, preparing to let Yu Haitang leave.

"Oh, okay! Then I'll go back first." Yu Haitang nodded obediently, turned and left.

When Zhang Jianjun saw Yu Haitang leaving, he took out a large pile of food from the space, which made Lawrence's eyes go green and he was so envious that he almost couldn't stand it.

"Master! Can you make me a magic storage device? Yours is so convenient!" Lawrence asked enviously.

"No! This was given to me by my master. He has now ascended to become an immortal. I only have this one." Zhang Jianjun began to lie with his eyes open.

"Okay!" Lawrence could only shake his head helplessly and found a place to lie down and rest.

In this way, Zhang Jianjun practiced martial arts with Lawrence during the day, and took a medicinal bath at home at night, and in the blink of an eye, it was Friday night.

On this day, Zhang Jianjun prepared the medicine for Lawrence as usual. Lawrence took off his clothes skillfully and lay directly into the big wooden barrel.

"Well! Good! Lawrence, you have made great progress. I estimate that in another month, you will be able to reach the first level of skin refining. By then, your skin will be extremely hard, and it will be difficult for ordinary cold weapons to hurt you!" Zhang Jianjun nodded in praise.

"Thank you, Master! I can also feel that I am getting stronger." Lawrence said excitedly.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Zhang Jianjun asked, "Who is it? It's late at night! The door is not locked. Come in."

Sha Zhu pushed the door open and said to Zhang Jianjun with a smile, "Brother Jianjun, I'm getting married tomorrow. Can you drive me to pick up Yu Haitang?"

Zhang Jianjun thought about it, then nodded in agreement: "Okay! What time tomorrow? I'll take you to pick up Yu Haitang."

"Just get to Siheyuan before the dinner starts at noon tomorrow. That's all I ask! I wonder if Brother Jianjun can do it." Sha Zhu asked worriedly.

"No problem! Remember to call me when you pick up the bride tomorrow. Is there anything else?" Zhang Jianjun asked with a smile.

"It's okay! I won't disturb you for now. My master and others will prepare a banquet at 8 o'clock tomorrow night! I'm leaving first!" After saying hello, Sha Zhu left the room.

"Disciple, how do you feel now? Has your skin absorbed the medicine?" Zhang Jianjun asked.

"Yes! Same as usual." Lawrence nodded.

"Okay! Just soak in it and remember to soak for at least three hours. I won't disturb you." Zhang Jianjun turned and left Lawrence's room. Coincidentally, Qin Jingru was washing clothes in the yard at that time.

"Honey, I'm not feeling well lately. Can you help me take care of it?" Qin Jingru asked in a coquettish and cute manner.

"Are you feeling unwell? Let me take your pulse." Zhang Jianjun smiled and felt Qin Jingru's pulse.

"Huh?! You're pregnant, Jingru, but how long has it been since you got pregnant? This is a bit unscientific!" Zhang Jianjun touched his head, puzzled.

"Really? I'm going to be a mother, and brother Jianjun, you're going to be a father too!" Qin Jingru excitedly threw herself into Zhang Jianjun's arms immediately.

"It's true, Sister Jingru! You don't have to do heavy work in the future. If you don't have time, I'll hire Sister Yu Li to help you with cooking and housework." Zhang Jianjun touched Qin Jingru's head lovingly.

"Oh! There's no need to be so troublesome. Pregnant women in our countryside still have to do farm work every day!" Qin Jingru rolled her eyes, indicating that she was not that delicate.

"Be good! Jingru, just listen to me. It won't cost much money. Your health is the most important thing." Zhang Jianjun said with a serious face.

"Okay, Brother Jianjun, I'll listen to you!" Qin Jingru nodded shyly, and then the two of them held hands and went to the bedroom together...

At eight o'clock in the morning, Sha Zhu's retired master, as well as Ma Hua, Fatty, Liu Lan and others from the cafeteria's kitchen all came. They came to help Sha Zhu hold the wedding.
