Chapter 60 Completed Jinjiang exclusive
"Pfft, my aunt and uncle are so happy that my cousin is back!"
Wang Changjiang couldn't help laughing when he saw her like this.
"Humph, that's too much."
Zhang Mengyu was angry for a moment, but soon she started laughing again.
"Haha, great, my brother is back. Cousin, let's go to Taibailou to order food."
Zhang Mengyu's cooking skills are good now, but they are far from her brother's level. Her brother is finally back, so she has to make some delicious food for him. Taibailou is her own restaurant and can be trusted.
People nowadays are becoming less and less sophisticated in doing business. It is considered okay to pass inferior goods off as good ones. Many restaurants even use rotten ingredients and seasonings.
"No need, we can just eat something at home, no need to go to Taibailou."
Zhang Mengzhi quickly spoke after hearing what his sister said, and patted his mother on the back to comfort them.
"Mom and Dad, I won't leave again. Even if I go on a business trip, I won't be away for too long. Don't worry!" Zhang Mengzhi's words made Zhang's father and mother feel at ease, and they no longer held on to their son.
"Really? Brother, you are not lying to us, right?"
The first person to jump out and confirm was Zhang Mengyu. Even though she is working now, she still looks like a child in front of her brother.
"Really? From now on, I will personally go to the local area to inspect the location of the new store. I don't have to worry about the rest."
Zhang Mengzhi smiled and nodded. He also had a backer, and the country was his father. As long as he didn't evade taxes or do other illegal things, the country would be his backer, and he would never have to worry about being bullied.
A true boss should know how to let go appropriately and give the people below them the opportunity to display their talents. Of course, he should also supervise what needs to be supervised, especially hygiene and food ingredients.
"Very good."
Zhang Mengyu jumped up and looked extremely excited.
"Cousin, welcome back. We all missed you."
Wang Changjiang, who was finally able to hug his cousin, walked over, hugged his cousin gently and said.
"Thank you cousin for your hard work over the years. I'm back."
Zhang Mengzhi looked at Wang Changjiang, who was in good spirits. She didn't expect that he had grown a lot in the past few years when she was away.
There were no young and strong people in the family, and there were several elderly people to take care of. As the only young and strong man in the family, Wang Changjiang took on the responsibility of taking care of his aunt and uncle, and keeping an eye on his cousin's love affair to prevent her from being deceived by bad men.
The first part is easy to explain, but the second part is a bit difficult to explain. Maybe Zhang Mengyu's identity is no secret in school, so many men who approach her have ulterior motives.
Zhang Mengyu is young and can’t tell, but Wang Changjiang is an experienced person and he knows that the look of love in the eyes when one truly likes someone will be fake no matter how hard one acts.
So when these people came to find Zhang Mengyu again, Wang Changjiang remembered his cousin's words and beat them away without saying a word.
My cousin is right, a broom is really useful. It can hit people painfully without hurting them, and you don’t have to pay compensation if you hit too hard.
So far, Zhang Mengyu’s relationship has never lasted more than half a month.
Even though it was the 1990s, many people still thought it was not good for a girl in her twenties to not get married. But the Zhang family was different from other families. Even if Zhang Mengyu didn't get married, her parents could still support her. Not to mention that she was still a college student and was now studying for a doctorate. She would be the most educated person in the Zhang family. Even her brother didn't have as high an education as her.
Therefore, the Zhang family didn't want her to get married, because then she would belong to someone else's family. So in this awkward situation, none of the Zhang family's elders came out to urge her to get married.
As for Zhang Mengzhi, everyone already knew that he had his own ideas and would not be persuaded by just a few words of persuasion, so everyone simply stopped bothering him.
What they didn't know was that even if they came to Zhang Mengzhi to discuss marriage, the person pretending to be Zhang Mengzhi would not agree. Otherwise, who would be the wife when they got married?
Besides, he and Zhang Mengzhi both have their own tasks, and the result will only affect their ability to do things. Moreover, Zhang Mengzhi is not too old. Even if a few years have passed, he is only in his early thirties. As long as he wants to marry, there are plenty of excellent girls for him to choose from.
There is also Wang Changjiang, who has not married due to his different sexual orientation. So such a strange phenomenon appeared: none of the three adult children of the Zhang family got married.
It's not that no one gossips, but they don't dare to say it in front of the Zhang family. Since they don't dare to say it in front of them, the Zhang family won't get angry because of a few gossips.
Today's meal was prepared by the whole family. Zhang Mengzhi was responsible for frying, Zhang Mengyu was responsible for cutting, and Wang Changjiang was responsible for washing vegetables. Zhang's father and mother were responsible for lighting the fire and serving the dishes. Everyone had their own work to do.
By the time all the dishes were served, the kitchen was cleaned up with everyone's efforts.
"Where's my aunt? Why don't I see her?"
It was during the meal that Zhang Mengzhi remembered Aunt Zhang. It was not his fault. It was normal for him not to remember her for a while after not seeing her for several years.
Not only was his aunt gone, but his grandparents, grandparents, and grandparents were also gone. He was not worried about the four elderly people, and there was no sadness on the faces of his family members. They might have returned to the countryside and the small building.
"Your aunt is old, and it's not safe for her to go out every day. Plus, your dad is retired, so I asked her not to come. And your cousin got married and had children, so she's busy taking care of her grandchildren every day."
Mother Zhang picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs and put it in her son's bowl, and said softly.
"I see. That's fine."
Zhang Mengzhi had no objection after hearing this. He had originally asked Aunt Zhang to come to the Zhang family to work so that she could accompany his mother. Now that his mother was accompanied by his father, it didn't matter whether his cousin came or not. And what Zhang's mother said was right. Aunt Zhang was old now, and it was not appropriate for her to take such a long car to come to the courtyard every day. It would be bad if something happened.
Besides, she has a grandson now and is too busy taking care of him every day. How can she have the time to come to the courtyard to accompany her sister-in-law!
"By the way, brother, I'm dating someone new. Can you help me screen them? Don't be like my cousin and kick the person out as soon as you meet him."
Zhang Mengyu said to her brother while holding the chopsticks.
"Did I hit you wrong? It's obviously because you have poor vision. You only found ugly things. I even thought I didn't hit you enough."
Wang Changjiang didn't give his cousin any face in this matter. It was because she always chose the wrong people when she fell in love. It's okay to be poor, but a person's character can't be bad, right?
They all had their minds written on their faces about wanting to be a Phoenix man and eat gigolo rice. Do they think that the gigolo rice of the Zhang family is so delicious? They didn't even think about what kind of family the Zhang family was.
Especially Zhang Mengzhi, who was a legend in their Guocheng. Even a three-year-old child knew about Zhang Mengzhi, and those people's acting skills were no match for him. Even Wang Changjiang couldn't be fooled, so it would be even harder to fool Zhang Mengzhi.
"How can I say my taste is bad? I have good taste! Every one of them is very good-looking!"
Zhang Mengyu said this with a sense of righteousness.
"Oh my god, cousin, are you dating them just because he's good-looking?"
Wang Changjiang was shocked.
Having lived with his cousin for several years, he never thought that his cousin was actually obsessed with looks! He never noticed it before!
"Of course, if a man is not good-looking, he will not arouse my interest. I am not bad-looking and my family background is not bad, so why can't I choose a man who is pleasing to the eye?"
Zhang Mengyu raised her chin and said seriously. She knew that it was not good for her to choose a partner like this. After all, character and ability were more important than appearance.
Keren is a visual animal. She has to work and study, so she has no time to find a partner. If no man pursues her, she doesn't even remember that she should fall in love.
The so-called love at first sight is often just based on lust. She first became attracted to their faces and then accepted their pursuit. Unfortunately, none of the men pursuing her were sincere, they were all after her family's money.
Thinking of this, Zhang Mengyu couldn't help but touch her face. She was a beauty, with a high education and a good family background, so why didn't anyone really like her?
"Brother, why can't I meet a good man?"
Zhang Mengyu asked her brother unconvinced.
"Maybe it's not that you can't meet a good man, but that the good men's looks are generally not to your liking. From the beginning, your goal has been on good-looking men. Even if there are good men around you, you have never looked at them with a woman's eyes!"
“…”
Zhang Mengyu was speechless after hearing what her brother said.
It has to be said that Zhang Mengzhi is worthy of being a brother, and he knows his sister very well. He also doesn't believe that there is no outstanding person around his sister, but she has excluded the other party from the beginning, so how can she discover their goodness?
"So if you want to find a capable man, don't keep looking at good-looking men. It's not that I have a prejudice against good-looking men. After all, I am not bad looking myself, and my cousin is also good-looking. But Xiaoyu, you should also know that there are not so many good-looking people. The fact that there are always good-looking men around you is itself abnormal."
Zhang Mengzhi reminded her sister.
"I understand bro."
Zhang Mengyu nodded, indicating that she had listened to her brother's words. Maybe she should really shift her focus away from those good-looking men. After all, people who only pursue good looks but have no substance will become boring after a long time.
"Okay, let's eat! The food will get cold if you don't eat it now."
Father Zhang reminded everyone that it was not long after the Chinese New Year and the weather in Shu Province was still quite cold.
"yes."
Everyone stopped talking and had a reunion dinner in peace.
After dinner, Zhang Mengzhi and Wang Changjiang were driven out of the kitchen by Zhang's mother and others.
"You guys won't be needed to wash the dishes. You brothers haven't seen each other for a long time. Go out and talk!" After pushing her son and nephew out, Zhang's mother washed the dishes with her husband. There was a washing machine at home, so there was no need to boil water. She filled half a pool with water, put all the dishes in it, and added a few handfuls of grass fire on the plate.
The Zhang family never uses the chemical products used today to wash oil stains. They always wash them with hot water first, then wipe the pots and pans with wood ash, and then rinse them with hot water again.
The tableware prepared in this way not only has no oil stains, but also there is no need to worry about chemical residues on the pots and pans.
"Cousin, tell me!"
Mother Zhang deliberately pushed him and his cousin out to talk, obviously because she needed her help with Wang Changjiang's affairs.
"I shouldn't have bothered you with this matter, but I really have no other way to deal with them."
Wang Changjiang and Zhang Mengzhi were sitting in the greenhouse and drinking tea. Zhang's family didn't know why Zhang Mengzhi built a greenhouse, but now everyone knows. The greenhouse is full of vegetables and flowers, so that even in winter they can eat vegetables that are only available in summer, and at the same time enjoy the flowers.
Zhang Mengzhi also placed a set of tea sets here, so that she could drink tea while appreciating the flowers, and also check out what vegetables were edible and pick them later.
The greenhouse is much smaller than the main room and the wing room. Because it is small, the heater is always on and it is very warm. Unlike other rooms, you have to wear two more layers when the heater is on.
It’s different in the greenhouse. You have to take off your clothes as soon as you enter the door. You just need to put on a coat or sweater over your underwear.
"Since only I can solve it, then cousin, please talk to me and see if I can solve it for you." Zhang Mengzhi
Pour a cup of brewed Pu'er tea into the cup in front of him.
"Someone from the United States contacted me. Can you guess why they contacted me suddenly?"
Wang Changjiang's handsome eyebrows were furrowed into a knot, and it was obvious that this matter was very troubling to him.
"Well, if you show your kindness for no reason, you are either a traitor or a thief."
Zhang Mengzhi immediately revealed the other party's intention.
"That's right. They told me they wanted to return to China to develop their business. Business in the United States is getting harder and harder, and there are a lot of restrictions on non-white people."
Wang Changjiang had no intention of hiding anything for them and told them the truth directly.
"So why are they so shameless to ask you for help? You were kicked out of the Wang family and returned to China. What can you do to help them?"
Zhang Mengzhi had a bad feeling in his heart.
"They want to use me to get Zhang's company."
Wang Changjiang smiled bitterly. He didn't expect his father and brother to be so cruel.
Zhang is my cousin's hard work. The Wang family has always been sorry for my aunt's family, but my father and brother don't care about blood ties at all and want to attack my aunt's family.
"Ah?" Zhang Mengzhi was stunned. He hadn't contacted them for decades. If it weren't for Wang Changjiang's appearance, he would have thought that the Wang family would be extinct. As a result, he finally contacted Huaxia, but they were targeting Zhang's family.
"Yes, cousin, you heard it right, they want Zhang."
Wang Changjiang did not cover up for his father and brother at all, and told Zhang Mengzhi his father and brother's plan without hesitation.
"No wonder they contacted you! So this is what they were planning. I really underestimated them."
Zhang Mengzhi sneered, the usual smile on his face was gone, only anger and indifference.
"Don't worry, cousin. I won't agree to that."
If Wang Changjiang really wanted to help his father and brother, he would not have told the Zhang family about this, especially Zhang Mengzhi.
The other members of the Zhang family thought that the Wang family was looking for Wang Changjiang to repair their relationship. After all, blood ties cannot be severed.
Little did they know that they had great ambitions and wanted to take over Zhang's. Perhaps in the eyes of Wang's father and brother, Zhang's was developed with the gold bars left by Mr. Wang, so it should belong to the Wang family.
Facing such shameless and cruel parents, Wang Changjiang almost didn't have the face to see the Zhang family, especially his cousin Zhang Mengzhi. If it wasn't for his cousin who took him in, Wang Changjiang couldn't imagine whether he would be alive now.
"In fact, even if you agree to help, it's useless, because Zhang's is no longer the Zhang's of a few years ago. Cousin, guess how many people in Zhang's are arranged by the state now?"
Zhang Mengzhi turned around and picked the peppers from the flowerpot. The Zhang family was willing to use fertilizer, especially distiller's grains, to grow vegetables. Even in winter, the pepper trees in the greenhouse would bear many fruits.
Peppers are perennial plants, and they are moved into the greenhouse at the end of summer. After proper cultivation, they will continue to produce peppers. In this way, the Zhang family will not lack fresh peppers to eat all year round.
"Ah, then they will get nothing?"
After hearing this, Wang Changjiang said with a gloating look that he would be happy as long as their plan failed.
"If they dare to have bad intentions, I'm afraid they won't even be able to enter China's customs."
Zhang Mengzhi flicked the pepper flowers lightly with her fingers. There was no wind or bees in the greenhouse, so artificial pollination was needed, otherwise there would be no fruit. Every day, the Zhang family would come to the greenhouse to artificially pollinate the fruits inside, just like pinching the branches of the pepper trees and shaking them, so that the flowers that bloomed could be pollinated and bear fruit.
"That's great. I don't want to see them at all. There's only my mother. I hope she can take good care of herself! If she wants, I will also provide for her in her old age."
The only affection Wang Changjiang has for the Wang family is for his mother.
"Don't worry, cousin. They are nothing to worry about."
Zhang Mengzhi shook his head. No matter what the father and son from the Wang family planned, they would not succeed.
"Hey, that's good."
The heavy stone in his heart was removed, and Wang Changjiang's mood immediately improved.
"By the way, cousin, haven't you met someone you like in these years?"
Zhang Mengzhi began to care about her cousin's love life. Although there are few people who like the same sex, it does not mean that there are none.
"I'm fine being alone, forget about relationships."
Wang Changjiang mentioned this lightly and said that the love affair in the United States almost cost him half his life, and he already had a psychological trauma. He can only accept homosexuality, but it does not mean that he must have a lover!
It’s good not to get married and not to have a relationship. Just look at my cousin and you will know. He has been away for several years. How free he is without a wife and children!
"When the weather gets warmer, I want to take a spontaneous trip to see the beautiful mountains and rivers of our country, which will be very beneficial to my creation."
Wang Changjiang talked about his other plan. He had become less autistic in the Zhang family in the past few years. He had several properties of his own, all of which were rented out. Two of the storefronts could bring him a lot of rent every year, so Wang Changjiang was not short of money.
I'm not going to be rich, but at least I'm not short of money.
"Okay, but no matter where you go, you must contact your family. Don't go missing."
Zhang Mengzhi had no objection to her cousin traveling, but she also reminded him to keep in touch with his family to relieve everyone's worries.
"Okay, I'll remember that."
Wang Changjiang did remember this, and from then on, no matter where he went, he would contact Zhang Mengzhi and the others. If there was a phone, he would call them; if there was no phone, he would write postcards.
In order to let everyone appreciate the beauty of nature, he even took up photography and recorded all the beautiful scenery he encountered.
Not to mention that the painter's sense of beauty is indeed better than ordinary people. Under his lens, many landscapes are breathtakingly beautiful. Even Zhang's mother and others were moved by the sight and wanted to travel with him.
Therefore, as soon as the weather got warmer, Wang Changjiang went out for a long journey without the care of his family.
"Remember to contact your family and keep your phone number with you. Don't lose it."
Outside the train station, the Zhang family not only saw him off but also kept giving him instructions.
"Remember, don't worry!"
Wang Changjiang was in the sleeper car. He stuck his head out and waved to everyone.
"Don't worry, cousin. I will take care of them."
Zhang Mengzhi finally reassured Wang Changjiang.
"I understand. I believe you can handle them, cousin."
When talking about his parents, Wang Changjiang spoke without any emotion.
Woo~clang clang, the train started moving, slowly at the beginning and then speeding up, with a short interval in between, and gradually it was out of everyone's sight.
"Now that my cousin is gone, our family has lost another person."
Zhang Mengyu hugged his mother, looking reluctant. In the past few years, everyone was used to his presence, and everyone felt very sad when he left.
"Okay, Changjiang has his own life too. We can't keep him trapped in Guocheng forever. And I'm glad that he's willing to go out for a walk."
Mother Zhang advised her daughter.
"Mom, I know what you mean. I just can't bear to part with it!"
Zhang Mengyu also understood this truth. In the past, her cousin was a little autistic and didn't want to interact with people. Now that he has finally recovered, everyone naturally doesn't want him to stay in Guocheng forever.
Traveling is a big deal. If Zhang Mengyu hadn't had work, she would have wanted to go with her cousin. Fortunately, Wang Changjiang would send photos and postcards back from every place he went, so that everyone could see the scenery of other places.
Although the Zhang family lost one person, everyone's life was still the same as usual. Zhang Mengzhi was checking the accounts in the courtyard that day. He had been away for the past few years and was not familiar with all the restaurants and hotels. He had to get familiar with them again. However, before he sat down for half an hour, he heard the doorbell ring.
The courtyard is quite large, and if someone shouts outside, the people inside may not be able to hear it, so Zhang Mengzhi specially installed a doorbell for guests to call out.
"Who is it? Here you are."
He walked out of the study, went to the front door, opened the small door on top and looked out.
"We are Wang Changjiang's family. Does he live here?"
A middle-aged man stood outside and asked. Although he used honorifics, his attitude and tone were very stiff and he looked reluctant.
"No, you got the wrong person."
After Zhang Mengzhi denied it, he closed the small door directly. His attitude stunned the people outside.
Originally they wanted to give the Zhang family a warning, but now they were given a warning before they even got through the door.
"Zhang Mengzhi, come out. Not only did you not invite the guests in, you even refused to see them. Is this how you treat your uncle and cousin? Is this the upbringing of the Zhang family?"
The Wang family father and son shouted angrily towards the gate.
"The Wang family doesn't need to question our Zhang family's upbringing. What's more, you are an uncle who came to rob your nephew's property. I am very well-mannered by not breaking your legs and throwing you on the street."
Zhang Mengzhi smiled when he heard someone questioning his upbringing. How was the upbringing of the Zhang family? It was not the place for someone who was planning to rob his nephew's (cousin's) property to criticize it.
What a joke! No matter how poor the Zhang family's upbringing was, they never taught them to rob their relatives' property, so what qualifications did the Wang family father and son have to blame themselves?
Zhang Mengzhi didn't want to meet them because he didn't like them. Their intentions were very clear, and to be honest, it was a bit disgusting to get along with such people.
So the Wang family was left outside. They looked at the closed door, not knowing what to do. Wang Changhai looked at his father.
"Father, what should I do?"
Zhang Mengzhi’s unyielding attitude is completely different from what they thought when they were in the United States!
Obviously, everyone said that Zhang Mengzhi was a well-educated and even good-tempered person. Why did he have such a bad attitude towards his uncle and cousin?
"Let's go back."
The king's father said with a sullen face.
"Father, have you forgotten the purpose of our return?"
Wang Changhai asked hurriedly, if he left now, wouldn’t it be a wasted trip?
"Why are you staying here if you don't want to go back? Didn't you hear what he just said? Our plan is clear to everyone. Your brother is an ungrateful person. He doesn't help his family but helps outsiders."
After all, Wang's father had decades more life experience, and he immediately realized that Wang Changjiang had betrayed them, and told the Zhang family all their plans.
The Zhang family members all knew the reason for their return to China and had already made preparations, so how could they plot against the Zhang family?
"But……"
Wang Changhai looked at the courtyard house which was even more imposing than the one they had in the United States, and he was reluctant to give up this property!
"No buts. Even if we say that Zhang Corporation was established with the gold bars left by your grandfather, it is useless. Those gold bars can only be exchanged for a little money at most. It is Zhang Mengzhi's credit that Zhang Corporation has developed to its current scale. Let's go, don't stay."
After all, Wang's father had eaten for decades, and he knew that the purpose of their trip could not be achieved, so he wanted to leave as soon as possible. Guocheng was the territory of the Zhang family. The mud-legged serfs who were once looked down upon by them had risen up and were singing. After returning, the Wang family actually had to look at the Zhang family's face.
Of course, it was hard for Wang's father to accept it, but he knew better than his son what it meant that a powerful dragon could not defeat a local snake. The Wang family had left Guocheng for decades and had no influence in the local area. Many people even forgot that the Wang family was once the most famous silk merchant in Guocheng, and most of the silk industry belonged to the Wang family.
In order to avoid being sniped by Zhang in Guocheng, the father and son left Guocheng as quickly as possible. That night, they took a plane from the provincial capital to leave Shu Province, and then transferred to another plane to leave China.
The Wang family was surprisingly easy to deal with, and Zhang Mengzhi didn't even have to meet them formally.
Zhang Mengzhi was very satisfied with the Wang father and son's timely performance, so he didn't need to take action against them.
No one disturbed Zhang Mengzhi as he spent a week sorting out the situations of various hotels and restaurants. He had no doubt that there must be no problem with the account books.
"Boss."
Big Yellow Hair and Little Yellow Hair came to the door.
"Boss Huang, how come you have time to come to my place today? Please sit down. What would you like to drink?"
Zhang Mengzhi invited the two to sit down, and he turned on the stove to boil water and make tea.
"Just do as you see fit, Boss."
The two of them couldn't taste the flavor of the tea, so they drank whatever they wanted.
"Then drink green tea!"
Zhang Mengxiao took out a box of Longjing tea, opened it, and scooped a little out into the cup with a tea spoon.
"Boss, we are here today to bring you good news."
The little yellow-haired boy confessed without waiting for Zhang Mengzhi.
"?"
Zhang Mengzhi paused and looked at him in confusion.
"Hehe, a few years ago you suddenly told us to let Gu Yan's family go and stop monitoring them. But my brother and I always felt that the guy was insidious and we couldn't just leave him alone. So my brother and I sent people to keep an eye on Gu Yan from time to time to prevent him from doing anything bad. I didn't expect to receive news today that Gu Yan was in jail and will be in prison for several years!"
The news brought by the little yellow-haired boy was indeed a surprise.
"What's going on?"
Zhang Mengzhi took the boiling water off the stove and put it aside to cool for a while. The temperature for brewing green tea should not be too high, generally above 80 degrees is enough, so the boiling water needs to be cooled for a while before brewing tea.
"He and Wang Lingya brought their family to Shenzhen and found two jobs there. They were doing well. Gu Yan and the factory director's daughter fell in love with each other and even had a big wedding. As a wife, Wang Lingya was not willing to suffer a loss when faced with a husband who suddenly abandoned her. So she brought her children to the wedding banquet and made a scene, letting everyone know that Gu Yan married another woman while he already had a wife. This was definitely bigamy! So, the factory director's family wanted to retaliate against Gu Yan for embarrassing them, so they put him in jail."
The little yellow-haired guy didn't try to hide his gloating at all. The big yellow-haired guy looked at him several times and seemed to be hesitant to say anything.
They are bosses now and have their own security company. When will this little brother become more stable?
"this……"
Zhang Mengzhi didn't expect that he would take the initiative to let the person go. Gu Yan and Wang Lingya could still live like this. He really overestimated them. However, he was not surprised that Gu Yan hooked up with the factory director's daughter. After all, the male protagonist's face could be cleaned up.
"Boss Zhang, you don't know that Wang Lingya is also a ruthless person. She abandoned several children and ran away. Our people felt sorry for the underage children, so they handed them over to the police and sent them to an orphanage."
The little yellow-haired boy sighed, thinking that those children must have sinned in their previous life to have such parents!
"Don't worry about them anymore. Just start your own security company!"
Zhang Mengzhi took out a check and filled in an amount on it.
"This is my way of thanking you for your help over the years. Don't refuse it, you deserve it."
He didn't say how much money was given, but looking at the yellow-haired guys grinning from ear to ear, you knew it was definitely a lot of money.
"No, no, Boss Zhang asked us to help keep an eye on people because he thinks highly of us. If you have anything to say, just tell me. If it weren't for you, we two brothers wouldn't know what would happen to our lives!"
Da Huangmao respected Zhang Mengzhi from the bottom of his heart. The amount on the check was one thing, but more importantly, Zhang Mengzhi pulled them back from the brink of crime.
Many of the street thugs like them were sent to prison during the crackdown, and some were even sentenced to death. Whenever he thought of this, a cold sweat broke out on the big yellow-haired man's back.
"Okay, I'll find you guys if I need anything."
Zhang Mengzhi did not refuse. After all, there were some things that were really inconvenient for him to deal with, and at this time he needed someone to help him.
The big and small yellow-haired men have also been trained over the years. The security company is not big, with only a few dozen people, but it means a lot to them.
It’s okay for the company to be small, it can just grow slowly in the future. The most important thing is that Zhang Mengzhi helped them when they were in the most difficult time.
"Brother, we are back."
Zhang Mengyu’s voice calling for help could be heard from far away, and behind her there was the sound of her parents talking and laughing.
"Welcome back, what would you like to eat tonight?"
Zhang Mengzhi stood up to greet his family.
That night, Zhang Mengzhi suddenly woke up in the middle of the night. He got up, poured himself a glass of warm water, and sat on the sofa in a daze.
"There's no such thing as time travel. It's just rebirth."
Zhang Mengzhi finally figured out why he hated his master so much. It turned out that he was himself, who was reborn in another world after dying unjustly in his first life. After knowing the story of the whole book, he traveled back and was reborn in his mother's belly.
So from beginning to end, there was only him, Zhang Mengzhi, who was killed by Gu Yan and others and still held a grudge, so he went to another world and came back.
If it weren't for the law, with the hatred in Zhang Mengzhi's soul, he might really kill those two bitches Gu Yan and Wang Lingya.
Fortunately, he did not do it and left room for maneuver, otherwise, after breaking the law, he would either be sentenced to life imprisonment or death.
Unable to fall asleep afterwards, Zhang Mengzhi simply went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for her family.
He soaked the soybeans and took out a piece of meat from the freezer. He planned to make dumplings today.
Well, let’s make steamed dumplings with braised pork and pork with green onions!
Although he didn't sleep for long, Zhang Mengzhi was in good spirits. When the Zhang family got up, they saw their son (brother) cooking soy milk with a smile on his face.
"What a delicious soy milk! Brother, I need to put sugar in my soy milk."
"good."
After serving the soy milk, Zhang Mengzhi added some sugar to her sister's bowl.
"Mengzhi, we just want the original flavor."
Mr. and Mrs. Zhang are old, and they need to control the amount of many foods, especially sweets and meat, which they cannot eat too much, otherwise they will suffer from high cholesterol, high blood sugar and high blood pressure.
"Okay mom and dad, wait a moment."
Zhang Mengzhi skillfully served the soy milk dumplings to the table. The kitchen of the courtyard was very large, so large that it was still very large even with a separate dining room. Only when there were guests would they be entertained in the main hall.
"Breakfast is ready, come and eat!"
Each person had a basket of xiaolongbao, each with two kinds of fillings.
"Here I come!"
Zhang Mengyu couldn't wait to pick up the soy milk and drink it.
"It tastes good. Brother's cooking skills are still so good."
"Well, the taste of soy milk is very different from other soy milks out there. It has a strong bean flavor. It's not like other soy milks except for the color. It tastes like water."
Mother Zhang took a sip and praised.
"If it tastes good, drink more. There's more in the pot."
Zhang Mengzhi cooked a big pot of soy milk, enough for them to drink as a beverage today.
"Come and eat the buns. The buns my son makes are delicious."
Father Zhang picked up a steamed dumpling with green onion and fresh meat flavor that Mother Zhang liked and put it on the plate in front of her.
"It's really delicious. I want to eat it again tomorrow."
Zhang Mengyu ate one steamed bun at a time and soon finished the whole basket.
"good."
Zhang Mengzhi would hardly refuse such a request from his sister. He even felt that it was a very happy thing to see his sister grow up and fall in love.
In his previous life, Zhang Mengyu didn’t have the chance to grow up, let alone fall in love with someone after he became an adult.
"By the way, Xiaoyu, remember to bring your boyfriend back to let me see him. If he's good, you can settle down."
Zhang Meng knew that her sister had a new boyfriend, but this time was different from the previous ones. He was Zhang Mengyu's classmate and colleague.
It is said that he has liked the younger sister for several years and has been silently by her side. If Zhang Mengzhi had not awakened his sister, she might not have realized that he was secretly in love with her until now.
Although he is not as good-looking as her previous boyfriend, he is still considered okay among ordinary people.
"Okay." Zhang Mengyu did not refuse. It was obvious that she and her brother had the same idea.
The other person has no problem with his character, he is educated and has a job, he is indeed a good person.
"Then we have to go to the countryside to pick up your grandparents. They were not used to living in the city before, so they returned to the countryside after living there for a short time. Xiaoyu, seeing your boyfriend is such an important matter, you can't forget them."
Father Zhang reminded his son.
"Okay, I'll drive to the countryside to pick up grandpa and grandma later."
Zhang Mengzhi agreed without thinking, as he hadn't seen them for several years. As for his grandparents, they were taken in by Zhang Mengyao to take care of them.
Although Zhang's mother and father are willing to take care of them all the time, for Zhang Mengyao, grandparents should not be just the responsibility of her aunt's family.
It should be the son's responsibility. He can't let his aunt and her family take care of her just because her father is gone. So Zhang Mengyao has to take the two elderly people to live with her for a period of time every month.
Several elderly people also knew that Zhang Mengzhi was not at home, but they were even more tight-lipped than the young people, and no one else could get the truth from them.
However, in the eyes of outsiders, the old people had just left the Zhang family, so Zhang Mengzhi could not go to pick them up during this period. He could only call them to tell them that he had returned safely.
This time Zhang Mengyu brought her boyfriend with her, and the reason was ready, so they could go and pick up the four elderly people and take them home.
In this new life, all his family members are alive by his side, and Zhang Mengzhi's life is finally complete.
Now, apart from his wish to open restaurants and hotels all over the country, he has no regrets.
Let him live his life slowly from now on. One day he will be able to open restaurants and hotels all over the country, or even abroad.
Come to think of it, the title of catering king sounds pretty good too!
