"Boss, the renovation work for Jinyun Villa is too complicated, and I dare not give a random price.

If we report too low, it's fine. At most, we'll just lose some labor compensation. But if we report too high, it would be a betrayal of the trust of our leaders."

If it were still the old society, if Yang Baiyi was just an ordinary wealthy family, Boss Liu would definitely not be polite.

The two sides battled wits and courage until they reached a price acceptable to both parties.

"Okay then. 1.5 yuan a day for skilled workers and 1 yuan a day for unskilled workers. No matter how many people you have, I hope to finish the project in about a month. Is that possible?"

The salary offered by Yang Baiyi can be said to be quite sincere. In this era when the general salary is more than 30 yuan, Yang Baiyi directly offered the craftsmen a daily wage of 1.5 yuan.

"Leader, we don't need so much."

Boss Liu was not sure whether this young leader really did not understand or was testing them.

"That's it, just do your job well."

The reason why Yang Baiyi is willing to offer such a salary is naturally not because he is stupid and has a lot of money, but because he has his own purpose.

"Please rest assured, Boss. We will definitely be worthy of the wages you pay us and do the work with guaranteed quality and quantity."

There will always be brave men when there is a big reward.

The three Liu brothers quickly patted their chests and promised that they would use all their skills to perfectly restore the former splendor of Jinyun Villa.

The next day, the three Liu brothers arrived as scheduled, bringing with them a dozen people of different ages.

"Leader, these older guys are all old buddies who used to work with us, and their skills are absolutely impeccable.

Although these young people have no experience in gardening, they are very strong and can handle a lot of renovation work."

As soon as Liu Dayi saw Yang Baiyi, he hurried to explain, fearing that Yang Baiyi would misunderstand.

"It's okay. I told you yesterday that you're experts in this area. Just figure out how to do it. I'm only here to get the materials list."

Yang Baiyi waved his hand, indicating that they could just take care of the arrangements.

"Leader, this is the list I wrote. Because there are so many categories, there may be omissions."

Liu Da quickly took out the list of materials from his pocket.

"Okay, tell me if there's anything I'm missing and I'll buy it."

Yang Baiyi just took a quick look and put the list of materials into his bag.

A lot of materials require approval, but Yang Baiyi doesn't want to bother with that and just hand it over to Xia Dong.

"Leader, we don't have any materials today. Our main tasks are to plant flowers and trees, clean up, and demolish the severely damaged areas."

Liu Da reported today's work arrangements to Yang Baiyi.

"Okay, you're an expert, just look after the arrangements."

Yang Baiyi stood aside and watched Liu Da assign the work. Everyone took the tools they brought and got busy.

"Master Liu, let everyone be busy first. I have something to discuss with you."

After Liu Da put down his tools, Yang Baiyi took him a few steps away, away from the busy crowd.

"Master Liu, do you have any stable job now?" Yang Baiyi asked kindly.

"Boss, I live in the suburbs, and there aren't enough jobs for people in the city.

After we stopped gardening, we had nothing to do. We just built houses and fixed roofs, and we could barely make a living."

Liu Da answered truthfully.

"Master Liu, I see that you are hardworking and have certain management skills. How about letting you manage Jinyun Villa from now on?

You don't need to do anything during normal times, just come over and look around. When the flowers and trees need to be trimmed, or when something needs maintenance, you'll be responsible for arranging someone to come over."

Yang Baiyi had this idea when he offered high salaries to Brother Liu and others.

Such a large villa is very troublesome to take care of in the later stage, and all kinds of things are very tedious, but Yang Baiyi is the person who hates trouble the most.

"Leader, isn't this just a housekeeper? This is a new society now, we don't dare to do this."

Liu Da looked around nervously and spoke in a low voice.

Now, not only the bourgeoisie is being attacked, but those who actively serve the bourgeoisie are also being attacked.

"Master Liu, what are you thinking? Didn't your son tell you that Jinyun Villa is going to be requisitioned by the government?

As for what unit it is, due to confidentiality regulations, I cannot tell you.

After Jinyun Villa is tidied up, I will live and work here to cover up the confidentiality of the work.

Being responsible for the daily maintenance of Jinyun Villa is not like being a housekeeper in feudal society, but a serious job.

In the first year, I received a monthly salary of 30 yuan. In the second year, I became a regular employee and could earn 45 yuan per month.

You think about it, if you really don't want to I won't force you."

Yang Baiyi wasn't lying completely. After all, he was the deputy director of the National Security Bureau, which was indeed a confidential unit.

"Leader, I do. I do."

My son is a policeman and only makes 36 yuan a month, but I can get 30 yuan as soon as I start working, and 45 yuan next year. Only a fool would not do this.

"Boss, the courtyard is so big, I'm afraid I can't handle it!"

After the excitement, Liu Da became worried again, fearing that he would disappoint his leader's trust.

"Who asked you to do it alone? Didn't I just tell you that if there's anything that needs to be done, you're responsible for coordinating and arranging people. Our unit has funding."

Liu Da did not let his work and salary get to his head and make rash promises, which made Yang Baiyi feel more at ease.

“Then I can definitely do it.”

Yang Baiyi's words made Liu Da completely relieved, and he smiled so hard that his back teeth were exposed.

Responsible for the daily maintenance of the entire unit, does that make me a leader?

Life is so unpredictable. I never thought that I would have such an encounter when I am in my fifties.

After accepting Yang Baiyi's appointment, Liu Da immediately felt like a master and directed everyone to work more attentively.

Yang Baiyi solved a problem and happily took the list of materials to the government office to find Xia Dong.

After reading the list of materials, Xia Dong indicated that there was no problem, asked Xiao Qingyang for leave, and went to allocate the materials.

With Liu Da keeping an eye on Jinyun Villa, Yang Baiyi will have nothing to do next.

Yang Baiyi went home, said hello to Lin Wanru, and drove to Jinling City.

It’s not a big deal to drive the agency car every day, so Yang Baiyi plans to apply for his own car.

When he arrived at Yaxiang Jinling, Lu Kai happened to be there. Yang Baiyi first collected his salary for the year, and then explained the purpose of his visit.

"Director Yang, this is easy. With your rank, it's no problem to get a car.

You can take one of the branch's cars first, and I'll arrange for someone to deliver your new car when it arrives."

There were three jeeps and a Hongqi car parked in Yaxiang Jinling's yard.
