Siheyuan: The beauty Xueru Huizhen, the birds are jealous

Yang Ming smiled and said, "Mr. Guan, you are too kind. I just like playing chess."

"Forget it, forget it." Mr. Guan sighed, stood up, and walked away. He was a man who cared about his reputation and could not stand such ridicule and failure.

At this time, a middle-aged man in a long gown walked into Grandpa Guan's courtyard. His name was Yang Ming10, and he was Grandpa Guan's chess friend, but his purpose today was not to play chess.

"Mr. Guan, how are you?" Yang Ming greeted him with a smile, but his eyes could not help but scan every corner of the courtyard. He knew that this was where Mr. Guan's lifelong collection - those priceless antiques - were hidden.

Master Guan glanced at Yang Ming and said calmly, "You came at the right time. I was just looking for someone to play chess with."

Yang Ming's heart moved, knowing that this was an opportunity. However, he did not directly ask to see the antiques, but chose a roundabout strategy.

"Master Guan, do you know that I recently accepted a disciple named Han Chunming?" Yang Ming asked tentatively. Master Guan nodded and said, "I have heard a little about him. He is a good kid."

"Yes, he is very talented." Yang Ming took the opportunity to say, "I want him to learn more from you. After all, you are the master in this field."

Master Guan was silent for a while and did not answer directly. He knew Yang Ming’s intention, but he did not refuse. After all, Han Chunming was his apprentice, and he naturally hoped that he could achieve something.

Yang Ming was delighted when he saw this. He knew that he had taken the first step towards success. Next, he planned to cultivate Han Chunming and let him become a bridge for him to get in touch with antiques.

At the same time, Yang Ming did not forget about other characters. He knew that although Cheng Jianjun was a villain, his self-taught and versatile characteristics were also a treasure for him. He planned to use Cheng Jianjun's abilities to gain more benefits for himself.

As for Guan Xiaoguan, the granddaughter of Grandpa Guan, Yang Ming paid more attention to her identity and background. He knew that Guan Xiaoguan was one of the people that Grandpa Guan loved the most. If he could establish a good relationship with her, his status in the antique world would also rise.

Therefore, in the following days, Yang Ming began to frequently go in and out of Grandpa Guan's courtyard. Sometimes he played chess and drank tea with Grandpa Guan, and sometimes he discussed antique knowledge with Han Chunming.

He used his wisdom and charm to gradually win the trust of Mr. Guan and Han Chunming.

That day, Yang Ming returned to the courtyard. As soon as he entered, he saw people sitting together in the courtyard, concentrating on watching a black and white TV. It turned out that Yan Bugui controlled the screening rights and was broadcasting a popular TV series.

"Hey, Director Yang is back!" Seeing Yang Ming, the residents greeted him enthusiastically. Yang Ming smiled and nodded in response. His return made the small courtyard more lively.

"Director Yang, you are so generous to bring out such a good TV for everyone to watch." A resident praised.

Yang Ming waved his hand and said, "We are all neighbors, don't be polite. I am happy if everyone enjoys watching it."

However, the TV was not free. Yan Bugui, Liu Guangtian and others voluntarily defended Yang Ming's reputation. Whenever someone complained about the charges, they would come forward to explain and persuade them. In this way, Yang Ming's reputation was not only not damaged, but was even more respected and loved by everyone.

"Liu Guangtian, come here." Yang Ming noticed Liu Guangtian who was busy all the time and called him over. Liu Guangtian hurried over and said respectfully, "Director Yang, what do you want?"

"It's nothing serious, I just want to ask you, when will your brother Guangfu come back?" Yang Ming asked.

When Liu Guangtian heard that it was about his brother, he immediately became excited: "Director Yang, don't worry, I will tell you as soon as my brother comes back. He is working in another place now, and he will come back as soon as he has time."

Yang Ming nodded, expressing his satisfaction. He knew that Liu Guangtian was a reliable person and would definitely get this done.

"By the way, I heard that you were recently transferred to the Security Department?" Yang Ming suddenly asked about Liu Guangtian's work situation.

Liu Guangtian smiled awkwardly: "Yes, the workers' picket team was cancelled, and I was transferred to the security department. But it doesn't matter, I will do my best."

Yang Ming patted Liu Guangtian on the shoulder and encouraged him, "I believe in your ability. Work hard in the security department, and you will definitely have a bright future."

Liu Guangtian nodded gratefully, his heart full of gratitude to Yang Ming. He knew that without Yang Ming's promotion and help, he would not have achieved what he has today.

As the night deepened, the lights in the courtyard gradually went out. Yang Ming sat in his room, thinking about what happened today.

Things.

"Guangtian, what's wrong with you?" Yang Ming's voice broke the silence. Liu Guangtian looked up, a glimmer of expectation flashed in his eyes, but then dimmed. He knew that Yang Ming was now the leader of the steel mill, and he was just an ordinary worker.

"It's okay, I just feel a little uncomfortable." Liu Guangtian answered in a low voice, his voice full of helplessness.

Yang Ming smiled slightly and sat next to Liu Guangtian.

"Guangtian, I know you're not happy. But you have to understand that the world is changing, and people have to learn to adapt." He paused and continued, "I might resign from the steel mill and try my luck out there. If you're willing, I can take you with me."

When Liu Guangtian heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He knew that this was Yang Ming's promise to him and also his hope.

"Really? Brother Yang Ming, I do!" he said excitedly.

Yang Ming nodded and mentioned Liu Guangtian's younger brother Liu Guangfu.

"Guangfu has been working outside these years and has suffered a lot. But he is very hardworking and is doing well now. When he comes back, you can come to me directly (Nuo De Zhao)."

Liu Guangtian felt mixed emotions after hearing this. He envied his brother for being valued by Yang Ming, but he also regretted that he did not choose to go to the countryside and missed the opportunity to work more closely with Yang Ming. But now that things have come to this, he can only hope for the future.

At this moment, Director Bi walked in from outside. He was wearing a dark suit. Although the years had left traces on his face, his majesty was still there. Seeing this, Yang Ming quickly stood up to greet him.

"Director Bi, you're back!" Yang Ming said respectfully. Director Bi nodded, his eyes stayed on Liu Guangtian for a moment, and then turned to Yang Ming.

"Yang Ming, let's play a game of chess."

Yang Ming was delighted, knowing that this was Director Bi's appreciation for him. The two quickly set up the chessboard and started playing. This game was different from the previous ones, as the two players were equally skilled and it was hard to tell who was better. The black and white pieces on the chessboard were interlaced, as if the two were having a silent contest.
