Siheyuan: Relieve stress and relieve worries

Chapter 402 Good deeds and evil deeds are rewarded
On July 30, 1993, Yan Jiekuang made breakfast for the children in the morning. After the children finished eating and Yan Jiekuang cleaned up, he went back to the bedroom. When he came out again, the children exclaimed.

Yan Jiekuang was wearing a navy blue suit, a white shirt, a dark tie, his hair was neatly combed, and he was wearing a pair of brand new leather shoes. He had a gold watch on his wrist, sunglasses on his face, and a briefcase in his hand.

The children had never seen their father dressed like this before, and they felt like a big boss. Shi Lei smiled and said, "Dad, you look so handsome today."

"Your dad is always handsome, he just doesn't like to dress up. Let's go." Yan Jiekuang walked out of the yard, attracting the neighbors' sidelong glances.

Yan Jiekuang drove the car straight to the headquarters, put the Grand Cherokee into the garage, and drove his own Mercedes-Benz over and parked it in front of the lobby door.

Yan Jiekuang got on the elevator and went straight to his office on the top floor.

As soon as he arrived at the office, Ji Lian got the news and came to see him with Wang Qing.

When Ji Lian entered the office, her eyes lit up. It was the first time she saw her husband in formal attire. When Wang Qing saw Yan Jiekuang, he asked, "What are you doing? Are you going on a blind date?"

This sentence made Yan Jiekuang very angry, and he said, "My wife is still beside me. Come and sit down quickly when you say this."

Ji Lian used the phone on Yan Jiekuang's desk to call her assistant and asked her to send a pot of tea to the chairman's office and to notify Jia Huaihua to come over as well. Yan Jiekuang interrupted and asked Wang Qiang to come up as well.

After a while, both of them arrived, and Yan Jiekuang said to Ji Lian's assistant, "Move a chair and sit at my door so that no one can disturb us."

Then, several people held a small meeting. The meeting was not long, but after Yan Jiekuang finished talking about the plan, he began to assign work and emphasized that this matter should be completed as soon as possible because there were too many variables outside.

After listening to Yan Jiekuang's plan, several people gave him a thumbs up, saying that this plan was great.

After the meeting, Wang Qiang acted as the driver, and Yan Jiekuang took Jia Huaihua out in the Mercedes-Benz and headed straight to a very famous local newspaper.

I negotiated with the president for a long time and reached a few big advertising contracts, and then I said goodbye.

The days that followed were Jia Huaihua's busiest time, and he could hardly be seen in the company at all.

Just a few days later, the local newspaper's front page headline had a huge headline, "Kodak Real Estate, caring about the disaster area! -- Kodak Group's charity donation ceremony held in Beijing." Below it was a photo of Ji Lian and Wang Qing standing on each side, holding a check sign with 15 million RMB clearly marked on it.

In the following days, all major newspapers, magazines and TV stations reprinted the news, and the TV station even interviewed General Manager Wang Qing. Suddenly, the public opinion on the streets and alleys suddenly changed, and people praised Keda Company everywhere. A crisis was dispelled in the spring breeze. After that, newspapers, magazines and TV stations successively ran advertisements for Fangshan Farm, "Keda Farm is for health, green vegetables!" "Keda pigs are for safe meat!"

Kodak Group has improved its reputation, resolved the current rumors and overcome difficulties. After that, the agricultural products of Fangshan Farm became popular throughout the north, and were sold as far as East China, which brought the overall revenue of Kodak Group to a higher level. The farm branch in Fangshan took advantage of the victory and gave back to the society at the first opportunity, donating 5 million to the Hope Project and building 20 Hope Primary Schools in remote areas, which again caused a positive response in the society.

After this series of combined efforts, Kodak Group has completely become a conscientious enterprise in the eyes of the people, and Wang Qing has successfully acquired two plots of land. At the same time, investment promotion departments from Shanghai and Hangzhou also came to Kodak Group for inspection, which made the company's development prospects suddenly clear.

In mid-August, Yan Jiekuang and his family began the Yan family's journey to East China. The most talked about thing in the streets and alleys of Nanluoguxiang now is the wife of the third son of the Yan family. As the president of Kodak Group, she is very popular in the city and has become a role model among other people's wives.

In a villa in Regent Garden in the old city of Sijiu, a sixty-year-old man threw a cup hard to the ground. Next to him stood a man in his thirties with a bitter look on his face.

"Dad, don't be angry. We can still wait for another opportunity. Next time, we will not fail easily." said the standing man.

"Next time, and next time. Do you know how much I lost this time?" the old man shouted loudly.

"It was supposed to be foolproof, but we didn't expect them to respond this way. We didn't expect this. They also donated a lot of money," said the middle-aged man.

The old man said angrily: "It's all that Xiao Jin's fault. He vowed that he would be able to control Kodak's investment projects in the future. I agreed to this plan because of his lies. Find him and ask him to compensate me for my lost money." said the old man.

The middle-aged man also hated Jin Jing and said, "I know, Dad. I'll do it right away."

Jin Jing is now looking for Xu Damao everywhere. Xu Damao has disappeared since the day the news about Koda appeared. Jin Jing mobilized all his friends to look for him everywhere, but they couldn't find him. Furious, he took people directly to find Xu Wood and his wife.

Xu Wude was frightened when he saw a group of people breaking into his house, but he quickly calmed down and said with a smile: "Xiao Jin, you are looking for our Damao. He is not at home. He went to the south." Jin Jing said coldly: "The monk cannot escape and the temple cannot escape. Now our business has failed and we have lost a lot of money, but the idea was proposed by Xu Damao. He doesn't take a penny. Isn't that unkind? Tell me, where is Xu Damao? Where is Li Huaide?"

Xu Wood looked at the aggressive Jin Jing, and a chill rose in his heart. He said, "I really don't know. Since I went to your company that day, I haven't seen him. I've been looking for him too. If you have any news, please tell me."

Jin Jing looked at the old man and sneered, "Old man, do you really not know or are you pretending not to know? I tell you, for this plan, Old Wang invested nearly one million, and I mortgaged our ancestral home and invested nearly half a million. Your Xu Damao didn't put in a penny. He wants to run away. If I can't survive, I will definitely not let him have an easy time. Just wait, I will catch him even if he runs to the horizon."

Xu Wude was shocked. He didn't expect that these people spent so much money to bribe people. But he couldn't do anything about it. He shook his head and said, "I really don't know where he went. It's no use for you to look for me."

Jin Jing said to the people he brought with him, "Tear this place down for me, old man. I'm being chased for debts, so don't even think about having an easy time. I'll come here to smash this place every two weeks. You can call the police until I find Xu Damao."

Xu's mother was stunned. A group of people rushed forward and started smashing things. Xu's father and mother cried and pulled these people, but it was useless. After Jin Jing and his men smashed things, they left. Xu's mother urged Xu Wude to call the police quickly.

Xu Wood shook his head and said, "This is all your son's fault. What's the point of calling the police?"

Xu Wude was so angry that he squatted on the ground wiping his tears, and Xu's mother cried heartbreakingly.

But what Xu Wude didn't expect was that since this time, Jin Jing never appeared again because he also ran away. He was even more sad because he received death threats. The Wang family told him that if he didn't make up the money within ten days, their entire family would be killed.

Jin Jing still has some abilities. Overnight, Jin Jing's family disappeared without a trace, as if they had evaporated from the face of the earth. This made the old man of the Wang family so angry that he smashed his own cup again.

The Wang family was not having an easy time either. With this loss, they lost all their family assets. The other younger generations in the family all distanced themselves from the old man. In the end, the old man was left with only this villa and nothing else. He could not even afford to hire a nanny. The middle-aged man had long since distanced himself from this retired old man.

In the teahouse in front of the west wing of Nanluoguxiang, an old lady was sitting at the counter, drinking tea leisurely. Liu Haizhong walked over with his hands behind his back, put the teacup on the counter, and said, "Old sister-in-law, come and pack some tea."

Jia Zhang took out a bag of scented tea from the counter and put it on the counter, saying, "Fifty cents."

Liu Haizhong said: "I don't have change, I'll give it to you next time."

Jia Zhang glanced at him and said, "Old Liu, you said the same thing yesterday. You're rich now, so you call a dollar small change?"

Liu Haizhong stood there awkwardly, and said a little embarrassedly: "I didn't bring any money. So, I'll tell you some news. Please give me a day."

Jia Zhang became interested and asked, "What news is this? Is it from Nanluoguxiang?"

Liu Haizhong said, "You don't live here, so you don't know that a house was smashed yesterday and the son ran away. Guess who it was?"

Jia Zhang said angrily: "There are so many families in Nanluo, how can I know who it is?"

Liu Haizhong was delighted and reminded, "You are very familiar with them. They are the neighbors of the original courtyard."

"Are you talking about Xu Damao's family? Haha, this is retribution. You have to tell me about this matter in detail. I won't charge you for tea these days." Jia Zhang said happily.

Liu Haizhong was embarrassed again. He knew very little and just heard it from others. So he said, "That's all I heard. You can ask others." After saying that, he turned and walked towards the kettle.

Jia Zhang was startled and said unhappily, "Useless thing." Then she walked towards a few old ladies who were chatting.

Not long after, the Xu family moved out of Nanluoguxiang and sold the house to a businessman. From then on, the old couple of the Xu family never appeared again. Some people said that they died of illness, some said that they went to live with their daughter, and some said that they went to the south to find their son.

Nanluoguxiang is becoming more and more commercial, with more and more outsiders coming here and opening shops. Except for some elderly people who are unwilling to leave, most young people have moved to the upper floors. Only in front of the Yan's Teahouse can the elderly who originally lived here gather.
