Spring Thunder Chapter 0155: The Evil, the Evil Comes to Grind
"Hey, Dad, why is there mud on the car?"
When Nan Yi returned to Dangdao from the New Territories, he went to pick up Nan Ruoyin and Fan Hongdou. As soon as Nan Ruoyin got in the car, she stepped on the mud.
"Oh, Dad bought a piece of land and I just went to see it." Nan Yi answered Nan Ruoyin, and then said to Fan Hongdou: "Hongdou, are you adapting well in school?"
"Godfather, it's fine. My classmates are all very nice to me."
"Dad, no one dares to bully Sister Hongdou while I'm here." Nan Ruoyin said arrogantly.
"Huh? Our Ruoyin is still the school bully?"
"No, I'm cute and everyone likes me."
"Haha, you are so shameless."
“Lululu!”
Nan Ruoyin made a face at Nan Yi, and started playing cat's tuck with Fan Hongdou.
During dinner, Nan Yi asked the two little girls at the table, "Ruoyin, Hongdou, what musical instruments do you like? "
"piano."
"violin."
"Do you want to learn?"
"I want to." The two children said in unison.
"Learning a musical instrument is a very difficult thing. I'll give you two days to think about it. Once you decide to learn it, you must persevere and not give up halfway."
"Dad, so serious?"
"Yes, it's serious."
"Then I have to think about it carefully." Nan Ruoyin pouted and said, "Dad, the price of fried cypress has increased by five cents."
"so what?"
Nan Yi looked at Nan Ruoyin with a smile on his face, waiting to see what tricks she would play.
"Shouldn't our wages for washing dishes also increase?"
"A pay raise? Forget it. The day before yesterday, you broke a basin, but dad didn't deduct your money, did he? The day before yesterday, you broke the faucet, and water was spraying everywhere. I checked the water meter, and more than a ton of water flowed out. There was also the repair fee, but I didn't deduct your money, did I?"
"Dad, that's nonsense. How could a ton of water leak out? I immediately turned off the main valve. Only a little water leaked out at most."
"What about the repair costs?"
"Okay, if you don't want to raise the price, then don't raise it, you fool." Nan Ruoyin muttered.
"I'll reward you with two Liu Wencai." Nan Yi smiled and put down the chopsticks in his hand. "I'm done eating . You two can eat slowly. Hongdou, after washing the dishes, go to the second floor balcony to find your godfather. I'll pay you last month's wages."
"Uh-huh."
Fan Hongdou said in a muffled voice while picking at her rice.
Fang Mengyin went to Yangcheng, and Xianghe followed her. Now there is not a single servant in the three villas.
Nan Yi is responsible for cooking; the bodyguards take turns cooking. No one cleans the room or does the laundry. This may be okay for a short period of time, but it definitely won't work for a long time.
After going up to the balcony, Nan Yi started to think about whether he should hire a few servants.
There are two people who cook, one who is responsible for cleaning and washing clothes. With Xianghe who also comes back, the three of us can basically handle the process.
Nan Yi was deep in thought when a soft hand appeared in his eyes.
"Nansheng, have some tea."
"Have you eaten yet?"
“I ate it on the way back.”
Nan Yi hummed lightly and waited for Liang Huiwen's next words.
Liang Huiwen now plays a role similar to that of a housekeeper, and she also lives here.
"Both factories are very good. I have signed the acquisition agreement. All the original workers, except for the cronies of the former boss, are willing to stay."
“How long will it take to rectify this?”
"One week."
“Is there anyone suitable to be the factory manager?”
"It's been too short and I don't know much about it, so it's hard to say for now."
"Then follow them and try to recruit from within. If there is not enough, recruit from outside. Pick one or two chickens from each factory to kill. After the chickens are killed, give the remaining monkeys a 5% salary increase."
"Nansheng, why don't you go and see for yourself?"
"No, these two factories will be your internship assignments. If you do well, you will be rewarded with shares. If you don't do well, your year-end bonus will be deducted."
"clear."
"Go." Nan Yi waved his hand and let Liang Huiwen leave.
Not long after Liang Huiwen left, Fan Hongdou, who had just finished washing the dishes, came to Nan Yi to settle her salary.
"You washed dishes 13 times last month, and I helped you twice. For those two times, I can only give you half of the wages. So how much should you get?"
"Godfather, it's 84 dollars in total."
"By the way, the calculation is very fast." Nan Yi took out a 100 Hong Kong dollar note and handed it to Fan Hongdou, "Give me 16 dollars in change."
"Godfather, I don't have any change. I put it all in the piggy bank." Fan Hongdou took the money and stuffed it into her pocket before speaking.
"Then remember it and deduct it from this month."
As Nan Yi spoke, he tore off a page from the notebook on the table and drew a withdrawal slip on it. After that, he put the pen back into his jacket pocket, then pulled out another pen from his pocket and drew a pay slip.
He tore the paper in half and handed half of the pay slip to Fan Hongdou. He pointed at the withdrawal slip and said, "Here, keep the pay slip and sign here."
Fan Hongdou took the pay slip, looked at it carefully, then looked down at the withdrawal slip before picking up a pen and signing her name in the signature area.
"Okay, let's go watch TV."
"Goodbye, godfather."
Fan Hongdou touched her pocket and left happily.
Nan Yi took a book and read quietly on the balcony.
Two hours later, the withdrawal slip on the table changed. The form drawn by Nan Yi and the words written by him disappeared, leaving only Fan Hongdou's signature.
Nan Yi put down the book and started writing on the "withdrawal slip" again, but the withdrawal slip was no longer called a withdrawal slip. Instead, it became a loan slip in which Fan Hongdou borrowed 1,000 Hong Kong dollars from Nan Yi.
After writing, Nan Yi put the loan form into his notebook.
When Fan Hongdou comes to collect her salary next month, Nan Yi will take out the loan note and educate her, letting her understand that there are some words that cannot be signed casually.
…
"Selling glutinous rice balls, selling glutinous rice balls. The glutinous rice balls made by the second brother are very round. A bowl of glutinous rice balls is very full. Three cents for a bowl. Selling glutinous rice balls, glutinous rice balls. They can also be eaten with tea and rice..."
April 19, Stanley Street, a very stylish teahouse.
The owner of this teahouse must be a nostalgic person. The walls are covered with pictures of popular female stars and actresses in Hong Kong in the 1950s and 1960s. The gramophone in one corner is playing "Selling Tangyuan" from the 1950s.
In an area set aside by the boss for his own private enjoyment, Nan Yi also saw many photos of the boss and actresses on the wall, most of which were taken in nightclubs.
"Boss, so you are from the Uncle's Group?"
Nan Yi withdrew his gaze from the wall and asked the boss who was preparing tea for him.
When the teahouse owner heard this, his hands trembled and the tea almost spilled out. He calmed himself down, put down the teapot, and said, "Young man, do you know Uncle Shaotuan?"
“I’ve heard a little bit about it.”
"Then do you know the Ritz Gardens?"
"It's from Li Caifa, right?"
"I used to hang out at the Ritz Garden all year round and was the head of a troupe of uncles and young men. At that time, I supported a female singer named Zhuzhu. On the craziest night, I spent 50,000 yuan on her."
"Boss, you are really sharp. You could spend 50,000 in the 1950s. Your family should have its own private jet fleet now, right? Do you have 50?"
Fifty thousand Hong Kong dollars in the 1950s had slightly less purchasing power than fifty thousand RMB today, but it was a tremendous amount of money.
"Oh, I lost. Otherwise, I wouldn't be opening a teahouse here and have to serve a young man like you."
"Haha, the Zhong family's tutoring is really good. Boss Zhong, you are only in your early forties this year. When the Ritz Garden was still standing, you were probably in your teens at most.
Uncle Shaotuan, spend 50,000. Next time, spend a little more time on making up stories. Don't think that I am a young man from the mainland and I don't know about the things in Hong Kong."
"Hahaha, it turns out you already knew who I am."
"Of course I know, otherwise, I wouldn't come to see you. Boss Zhong, Mr. Zhong Zhengwen, Mr. Chen Songqing's partner. Boss Zhong, let's get straight to the point."
"Okay, then I'll just be frank. What is your purpose in acquiring shares of Mei-Han Enterprise?"
"I am very optimistic about Mr. Chen and Mr. Zhong's business capabilities and would like to make some money with you."
"Who is Ms. Fang to you?"
"I'm the boss, I work for her."
"I……"
Zhong Zhengwen wanted to pounce on Nan Yi and bite him twice.
"Don't ask me. If you know the answer, don't ask me. If you can't find out the relationship between me and her, you have no right to sit here and talk to me."
"Okay!" Zhong Zhengwen took a breath and said, "You've already taken a big bite, and your grandmother said last time that it was over. What do you mean by sweeping up another 6.8 million shares?"
"I told you, I'll make some money by following you guys."
"Are you sure you want to be our enemy?"
Nan Yi laughed and said, "Not really. Let me put it this way. Last month I went to the stock exchange and looked at all the stocks. I found that Meihan Enterprises still had the most investment value.
I just plan to buy a little at a low price and then sell at a high price. I have no interest in your plan at all. This is purely a stock investment behavior.
Of course, in order not to hinder the implementation of your and Mr. Chen's plan, I will give you a heads-up before selling so that you have enough time to stabilize the stock price.
And I can sell it smoothly.”
"Is it that simple?" Zhong Zhengwen asked.
"It's that simple!" Nan Yi said, then changed the subject, "Of course, I'm just returning the favor, thanking you for not sending the dwarf mule to mess up my house."
Chen Songqing and Zhong Zhengwen did not send anyone to his villa to cause trouble, which made Nan Yigao look at them.
"Is it that simple?"
“It’s that simple.”
"Okay, tea please."
"please."
Both Chen Songqing and Zhong Zhengwen are capable people. Nan Yi admires .
It seems that external factors played a decisive role in Jianin's eventual downfall.
After leaving the teahouse, Nan Yi was thinking about his conversation with Zhong Zhengwen. No matter if Zhong Zhengwen was showing weakness or paralyzing him, Nan Yi would never relax his security.
Even if these two grandsons planned to wait until he relaxed before dealing with him, he would never give them the chance.
