Siheyuan: Relieve stress and relieve worries

Chapter 309 Recruiting Wang Qiang
When Yan Jiekuang brought Shi Li back to his mother's house, he saw Yang Ruiping walking outside with the two children. Yan Jiekuang asked, "Why are the children making a fuss?"

Yang Ruiping said: "No, there are a few heavy smokers in the house. I can't do anything about it. Take the children back quickly."

Yan Jiekuang asked curiously, "Who is it?"

"Who else could it be? Lao Yi, Lao Liu and your dad. They are drinking at home. I don't know what they are thinking, but they are together again. You go back. I'll go to Shi Xiaoya's room to clean up."

Yan Jiekuang pushed the stroller and took Shi Li back to Yuer Hutong. All the way Yan Jiekuang kept thinking that these three old men were always cheated, always had no memory, always had quarrels, and always stayed together. It was true that birds of a feather flock together.

When Shi Li came home, she came in hopping. Ji Lian saw the father and daughter entering the middle courtyard and asked, "I heard from Sister Tian that you didn't eat at home at noon?"

Shi Li happily ran to Ji Lian and said, "Yes, Mom, Dad took me to eat hot pot. It was delicious, and there was also fried tripe."

As soon as he finished speaking, three figures rushed out of the study, looking at Yan Jiekuang with resentment. Yan Jiekuang chuckled and said, "I came back to look for you, but you're not here. If you don't believe me, ask Auntie Tian."

The three boys looked at Tian Guixiang suspiciously. Tian Guixiang nodded and said, "I came back to find you. You guys went out to play."

The three boys went to the study room dejectedly. Yan Jiekuang said, "Okay, I'll take you there the day after tomorrow. But school is about to start. Have you finished your homework?"

Shi Lei said: "The four of us have already finished writing, you must keep your word."

"When did I ever go back on my word?" Yan Jiekuang said. The three children went to the study happily, followed by Shi Li. Ji Lian took the stroller and pushed it to the backyard. Yan Jiekuang went to his own study by himself.

On March 12, Sun Daming brought a man to Yuer Hutong. The man was in his thirties, with a weathered face but sharp eyes.

This was how Yan Jiekuang felt when he saw it. Yan Jiekuang didn't say much to the man. He asked Sun Daming to find a guest room in the front yard to accommodate him and take him to take a bath and have a meal.

The next day, Yan Jiekuang began a formal conversation with this person in the study. The middle-aged man first introduced himself. His name was Wang Qiang. He had just retired from the army. His home was in the countryside of Shijiazhuang. He was formerly the company commander of a reconnaissance company. His family was poor and his parents still made a living by farming in the village.

Yan Jiekuang looked at Wang Qiang and said, "My company is going to set up a security department. This unit is independent of all other departments, so the requirements are very strict. I have some information. You can take it back and read it first. We can talk after you finish reading it. If you don't agree, then there is no need to talk. What I want is a security director who is absolutely obedient."

Wang Qiang was not a child, but a man who had experienced life and death. He didn't say anything, just turned around and left with the information.

Yan Jiekuang had a preliminary understanding of Wang Qiang. He was a person who did not make promises easily, but once he made a promise, he would definitely carry it out seriously. Yan Jiekuang was very patient with such a person.

Wang Qiang stayed in the front yard, and Sun Daming was very happy. In the evening, Yan Jiekuang prepared a table of wine and food, and everyone gathered together, drinking and chatting, talking about all sorts of things, but no one mentioned anything on the battlefield.

Wang Qiang read the information for three days and then found Yan Jiekuang. His only difficulty now is his parents. He had served the country before and there was no other way, but it is different now. He has recovered and it would be unjustifiable for him not to take care of his parents.

Yan Jiekuang thought for a moment and said, "I have two suggestions for you. First, you go to Shenzhen to build your team. When you are mature, you can be transferred back to Sijiucheng. Then you can take care of your parents. Second, you can also take your parents to Shenzhen. There is a house allocated to you there. You don't have to worry. You also know the treatment. You can afford it."

Wang Qiang thought for a while and said, "It's hard to leave my hometown. My parents won't go to the south. I'd better choose the first option. Director Yan, are you sure I can be transferred back in one or two years?"

Yan Jiekuang laughed and said, "I am sure that this will be the company's headquarters in the future. If you don't transfer back, where will you go?"

Wang Qiang untied the last knot in his heart and successfully signed the labor contract. Yan Jiekuang said: "I am still in the initial stage and the funds are limited. For now, the security guards will get 500 yuan, the team leader will get 800 yuan, and you will get the same yuan as my middle-level cadres. You need to select all the team members."

Wang Qiang said, "Don't worry. I have read your management methods carefully and I know what to do. There are quite a few retired soldiers in our batch. I will definitely train a strong team for you."

Yan Jiekuang said: "I believe you, otherwise I wouldn't have recognized you at first sight."

On March 1st, Xizhimen Sichuan Restaurant opened. Ji Lian attended the opening ceremony as the president of WeiDa Catering Group. Zhao Yuan is the manager of the new store. The general manager of WeiDa Group is Yang Lifen. Fang Yuan is the development manager and chef of the Sichuan Restaurant. Yu Zhenqing attended the ribbon-cutting ceremony as a guest.

Yan Jiekuang only brought his children and Wang Qiang to attend the ceremony, mainly to taste Sichuan cuisine. After a grand feast, it also meant the start of the Wei Da Catering Group. Yan Jiekuang did not disturb Ji Lian who was greeting people from all walks of life, and left with the children alone. Wang Qiang stayed behind, and Yan Jiekuang asked him to stay in the store to look after it.

Yan Jiekuang took the children and drove the van to his mother's place. He had sent his two youngest children there early in the morning. When they arrived at the entrance of the alley of No. 95 Courtyard, Yan Jiekuang parked the car and walked into the alley with the children. He saw his father walking out with a bag in his hand.

Yan Jiekuang came forward and greeted them, and the children also greeted them. Yan Bugui responded casually, and Yan Jiekuang asked, "Dad, where are you going?"

Yan Bugui said, "Your sister hasn't been home for a long time, so I'm going to her workplace to see her. Okay, you go in, I'm going to get busy." After that, he walked out of the alley.

Yan Jiekuang brought the children to his mother's house and said, "Mom, what did you do to impress my dad and make him look for my little sister so actively?"

Yang Ruiping said: "What else can move me? The set of jade jewelry your wife gave me."

Yan Jiekuang slapped his forehead and said, "Oh my god, you are so willing to give it away. You know it belonged to the royal family of the Ming Dynasty and is very valuable. Why don't you just give him a gold necklace?"

Yang Ruiping shook his head and said, "I tried, but he refused. He has been eyeing this set of jewelry for more than a day or two. If I don't give it to him today, he will be thinking about it sooner or later."

Yan Jiekuang said: "My father's vision has improved a lot. He knows that it is a good thing. But, Mom, you have to remind him that it is from the Ming Dynasty and belongs to the royal family. Otherwise, I am afraid that he will sell it at a low price one day."

Yang Ruiping nodded, and Shi Lei ran over and said, "Grandma, why don't you live with us?" Yang Ruiping smiled and responded, "I'll go in two days. It's still a little cold now. I'll go in the spring."

Yang Ruiping looked at Yan Jiekuang and said, "You are just taking care of the children at home now. Don't you have anything to do?" Yan Jiekuang said, "My wife is busy outside. I have to go to the south in a while. I am also busy."

The mother and son chatted in the house, and the children went to find Yongchang and Yongxin.

Yan Jiekuang said, "It's quite peaceful in this courtyard. Why have they changed their tempers? I think even He Yuzhu has stopped going to work at the restaurant."

"What do you know? He Yuzhu is planning to open a second store. He is now the richest man in the yard." Yang Ruiping said.

Yan Jiekuang really didn't know about this. He probably had been educated by the senior leader. Yan Jiekuang said, "That's good. It won't always put our family in the spotlight. My dad saved a lot of money in the past few years. Didn't he think of doing something?"

Yang Ruiping said: "I heard him say that he wanted to open a store in Liulichang. Now he has nothing to do so he goes to Liulichang and Dazhalan for a stroll."

Yan Jiekuang smiled bitterly and said, "Of the 360 ​​trades, he had to choose the one with the highest risk. You have to persuade him. That shop is not run by ordinary people."

Yang Ruiping said: "It's useless to say it. Now Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong's words are more effective than mine. I don't care so much anymore. I just need to take good care of my grandson and granddaughter and worry less."

The mother and son drank tea, chatted, and took care of Xiaohai and Xixi.

When it was almost evening, Yan Jiekuang went to the kitchen to make noodles with soybean paste. The mother and son, together with Shi Xiaoya and the children, sat around the table eating noodles with soybean paste. At this time, Yan Bugui came back. Shi Xiaoya stood up and said to Yan Bugui, "Dad, I'll go get you some noodles. Please wait a moment."

Yan Bugui nodded, put the bag aside, sat down next to Yang Ruiping, and said, "Your daughter has found a partner and is busy with her marriage. She has no time to come back. By the way, her company has also allocated her a house."

"You can't not go home, didn't you try to persuade him?" Yang Ruiping was a little unhappy.

Yan Bugui said: "I can persuade her. She has always had a positive mindset since she was young. Okay, I guess she will come back naturally after she decides to get married."

At this time, Shi Xiaoya put the noodles in front of Yan Bugui. Yan Bugui picked up the bowl, put some sauce in it first, mixed it well, then started to add vegetables, continued to mix, and then started to eat with big mouthfuls.

After eating, Yan Jiekuang said goodbye to his parents and took his children home. He did not remind Yan Bugui because the more he reminded him, the less Yan Bugui would listen to him. Sometimes, it seemed that his father and he were not compatible.

When they got home, it was already dark. Tian Guixiang asked Yan Jiekuang if he had eaten. Yan Jiekuang said that he and the children had already eaten. At this time, Sun Daming shyly found Yan Jiekuang in the middle courtyard. Yan Jiekuang asked, "Brother Sun, do you have something to say? If you have something to say, just tell me. Let's not be so polite."

Sun Daming said, "Captain Wang, is Wang Qiang going to Shenzhen?"

"Yes, but he needs to find some help here before he can go there." Yan Jiekuang said.

Sun Daming said: "I want to go with him too, after all, he earns more."

Yan Jiekuang asked, "Sister Tian can agree, have you discussed it?"

Sun Daming said: "I told my wife and she agreed. If Wang Qiang wants to take me with him, he needs your consent."

Yan Jiekuang laughed and said, "No need. If you want to go, go ahead. It will be a training for you, and you can get together with your comrades again. It's okay. You will be back in a year or so, and Wang Qiang will have to come back too. Go ahead and tell them that I agree."

When Sun Daming heard this, he was overjoyed and went to report it to his wife happily.

Yan Jiekuang accompanied the children in reading. It was almost nine o'clock when Ji Lian came back, dragging her tired body. It was Wang Qiang who drove Ji Lian back, and the Crown was also driven back.

Yan Jiekuang immediately served tea and water and asked Ji Lian to sit on a chair. Yan Jiekuang massaged her shoulders and said, "You are so tired. Don't solve everything by yourself. You should learn to manage your subordinates."

Ji Lian rolled her eyes at him and said, "Today is special. Too many people came. I had to take care of everyone. In the evening, these people came with their relatives and friends. I couldn't do anything. In the end, even Mr. Yu came down to cook. Fang Yuan was simply too busy to handle it."

Yan Jiekuang didn't expect that it would become so popular on the first day. After thinking about it carefully, Yan Jiekuang knew the problem. It was mainly because the name Yu Zhenqing was too legendary. He was the master of Sichuan cuisine.

Yan Jiekuang asked, "Have you eaten?"

"I've finished eating. I'm too tired. I'll just take a shower and go to bed." Ji Lian said.

Yan Jiekuang went out to fetch water for Ji Lian, bringing two thermoses of hot water with him. After pouring the water for Ji Lian, he waited by the side, and then went to mix water for washing feet, which moved Ji Lian deeply.

After taking a shower, Ji Lian went to bed and fell asleep in a few minutes. Yan Jiekuang went upstairs to check on the children, covered them with quilts, and then returned to the bedroom to sleep.

A few days later, Wang Qiang and Sun Daming went to Shenzhen together. Before going to Shenzhen, Yan Jiekuang called Wang Qing and told him the arrangements for Wang Qiang and Sun Daming. They would report directly to the general manager, and asked Wang Qing to cooperate with Wang Qiang to select the dormitory and office space for the security department. After the team was built, Wang Qiang would first send people to the construction site to do a good job of security at the construction site.

Yan Jiekuang also called Lou Xiao'e to communicate his plans for this year with her, and planned to register a Keda Investment Co., Ltd. in Hong Kong Island to prepare for acquiring BJ's land.

Lou Xiao'e told him that Rui'er had changed Keda Construction Development Co., Ltd. to Keda International Investment Co., Ltd., and changed its registered place to the Cayman Islands. Was it necessary to register another company in Hong Kong Island? Yan Jiekuang thought about it and thought that if he really needed to acquire land, he could just use this company to register in the city, so he gave up the idea.

Lou Xiao'e asked him when they would meet in Shenzhen. Yan Jiekuang thought for a while and said maybe after May Day, as the office building should have been topped out by then.
