Siheyuan: My name is Cao Xing, and I have a strong background

After giving instructions, Cao Xing asked, "Has that big Mao left?"

Su Lie smiled bitterly and said, "With your healing medicine, he would have recovered in half a month. Now he refuses to leave and wants to work in the warehouse."

Cao Xing couldn't help but ask: "He is a thief, will you keep him?"

You have to know that Su Lie is famous for his strictness and he can't tolerate any sand in his eyes.

Damao's bad behavior of stealing has been registered with Su Lie, so it is basically impossible for him to stay here.

But Su Lie said, "This kid is very quick-witted. When he saw that I disagreed, he built good relationships with others and helped them with laundry, cooking, and cleaning. In short, he did whatever work was available. He made them all speak well of him. Sometimes I even wonder if I am too strict."

Cao Xing burst into laughter when he heard this.

"Mr. Su, it seems that young people today are smarter than you were back then."

Su Lie smiled bitterly, waved his hands and said, "I think this kid is not a bad person. He begged me many times, saying that he would have nothing to do if he got out of the house, and he couldn't help his mother. It would be better for him to work here. Although he doesn't get paid, at least he can have enough food to eat and he doesn't have to burden his family."

"So what do you think? Do you want to keep him?"

"Hey, that kid's mother is also a miserable person, raising four children alone. What the kid said is not an exaggeration. What I mean is that you should stay and see for now. Of course, you are the one who makes the final decision."

Cao Xing laughed and said, "How old is that kid now? What he needs now is learning, not work."

"I have also communicated with the boy's mother, but his mother is powerless. She once tried to find a school for him, but the boy skipped classes every few days and had no interest in studying at all."

"Haha, I think this kid deserves to be punished. I'll go take a look."

After that, the two of them walked towards the cafeteria.

Now is the time for lunch.

As soon as Cao Xing came in, everyone looked surprised and greeted him.

"Xiaoxing is here, come and sit down."

"Brother Xing is here, Brother Xing is here!"

"Xiaoxing, what do you want to eat? Uncle will make it for you."

A group of people showed excited expressions, which shows how high Cao Xing's status is in their hearts!

Cao Xing waved his hand, asking everyone to continue eating. His eyes searched the cafeteria and finally stopped at a figure huddled in the corner.

He pointed and said, "Da Mao, come here."

When Damao saw Cao Xing, he was so scared that he hid himself immediately, trembling in a corner.

There was no way. Cao Xing’s ferocity would remain in his mind for the rest of his life.

Thinking of Cao Xing's methods and the pain he felt at that time, he couldn't help but shiver.

His heart was filled with fear, and he had no intention of seeking revenge.

There's nothing else to it, he just doesn't dare.

Now when he heard Cao Xing calling his name, he curled up in the corner and didn't dare to look at him.

Cao Xing chuckled and said, "Am I that scary?"

Su Lie said: "Your behavior that day is enough for him to remember for the rest of his life. I guess he will never dare to ask for your help again."

Cao Xing walked towards Damao.

The sound of the footsteps seemed to knock on Damao's heart, making him extremely scared.

"You, don't come over here! I didn't steal anything!"

Seeing that he was so afraid of him, Cao Xing immediately said, "You bastard, now you are afraid. I don't want to keep useless people here. You should finish this meal and leave immediately, okay?"

When Damao heard this, he felt a surge of courage in his heart and spoke loudly.

"I'm not useless. I can do a lot of things. I can do what others can do, and I can also do what others can't do!"

"Oh, I do believe that. After all, people here don't steal things. You are better than them in this respect."

"I, I have changed and will never steal again."

"Now that you've changed, you can go."

“Can I stay here and work?”

Damao has been here for so long that he already knows that Cao Xing is the most powerful person here, and all these people depend on him for support.

"This unit doesn't accept people with criminal records. Finish your meal and leave immediately. Don't force me to do anything."

Cao Xing's ruthless words hit him hard in the heart.

Damao suddenly felt disheartened and secretly hated his past.

However, Damao was tenacious and still asked.

“What do I have to do to stay here?”

No one dared to interrupt, but Su Lie said, "Xiao Xing, this kid has developed feelings for the people here. If you can give him a chance, give him one."

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded and looked at Cao Xing expectantly.

Cao Xing had long intended to accept Damao, and he was just trying to scare him just now. After all, he was determined to get the beautiful Liang Ladi.

After hearing this, he pretended to think for a moment before speaking.

"Since so many people are begging you, I'll give you a chance."

Damao instantly perked up and his heart was filled with hope, but Cao Xing's next words made him feel depressed.

"I will arrange a school for you. After you graduate, as long as you rank in the middle of the class, I will make an exception and accept you."

"Ah? I feel sleepy when I see a book. Can you change the test?"

Cao Xing sneered: "Do you think I'll be so easy to talk to? If you're a man, just say whether you agree or not."

Su Lie also advised: "Da Mao, you should be in the sixth grade. There is still half a year left. You must grit your teeth and study hard for the sake of your family so that others will no longer look down on you."

Damao thought about it, hardened his heart and nodded, "Grandpa Su is right, I agree."

Cao Xing smiled and said, "I'll give you ten yuan. You can buy some clothes and school supplies and pay tuition. The rest is your pocket money."

"I don't want your money. From now on, every penny I spend must be earned through my own hard work."

Cao Xing couldn't help but praise him: "Okay, you have ambition. Go ahead. You just wait at home for the next two days. Someone will come to your house and give you the letter."

Damao got up from the ground and walked out. Halfway through, he turned back and said, "I will definitely meet your requirements!"

"I am a man of my word, and so many people have witnessed it. If you can do it, not only can you come here to work, but you will also be paid the same as others."

"Really?"

Damao was quite surprised.

You should know that the lowest income here is 50 yuan, with meat for every meal and free food and accommodation.

Compared to working outside, this place is like heaven, and that's why he wants to stay here.

"I'll stick to my words. If your grades are up to standard, you can directly ask Grandpa Su to help you with the job application without my consent."

Cao Xing doesn't care whether child labor is used or not. He calls this a job, but it's simply an orphanage.

When Damao heard Cao Xing say this, he immediately encouraged himself even more.

You must learn something to prove yourself!

Looking at Damao walking out with his head held high, Cao Xing smiled knowingly.

Others also looked at Cao Xing with admiration.

They could all see that from the very beginning Cao Xing had no intention of severely punishing Damao, otherwise if Damao was caught stealing, Cao Xing would not even do anything and would directly throw him into the police station.

They could all see Cao Xing's character, and every little thing he did contained deep meaning.
