Chapter 172 Ding Yi Comes to Shanghai
Two months later, Ding Yi came to Shanghai with all the brothers who voluntarily followed him. Zhang Shiye was very happy. He knew Ding Yi's ability. With Ding Yi around, he could be a hands-off boss.
When we bought the small villa, we bought four houses together. Two of them were relatively far away, so we could arrange for everyone to live in those two places. However, these people had some family assets, so the next day after they arrived, Xia Wanyang took everyone to the department store, and everyone bought a bicycle.
With the help of Ding Yi and his ten men, the work was much easier. Yuan Hong's parents and Aunt Cai's two families also moved in. Zhang Heping and Qiao Shuyun finally had a place to visit, so they stopped going to the construction site and went to the cave gate whenever they had time.
Zhang Shiye prepared a large table of dishes at home to entertain these people and assigned tasks to each person. When these people were in Beijing, they often gave gifts to their superiors, so running around for these tasks was extremely easy for them.
Ding Yi handed Xia Wanyang a passbook, "Sister-in-law, I rented out the courtyard house, including the warehouse. The rent will be regularly remitted to this account every month. Please keep it safe. The rent is 15 to 25 yuan per room. We have 28 rooms in total. Xiaojiu said it's about 580 yuan a month. Please check it."
Xia Wanyang happily put away the passbook and praised: "You and Xiaojiu are really reliable. Sorry for the trouble!"
Zhang Shiye was in a good mood seeing his wife happy. "When the restaurant opens, Xiaojiu will be the accountant. I will recruit a few college students to help you. Then I will hand over everything to you. Don't trust anyone. All the accounts must be reviewed by you!"
Ding Yi went to the construction site yesterday and knew the scale of the restaurant Zhang Shiye was talking about. He quickly said, "Boss, although Xiaojiu is good at arithmetic, she is not a college student after all. She can't manage such a big business..."
Zhang Shiye interrupted him, "You have been working with me for several years, I trust you, what's wrong with being a college student? It's just a different degree. Education does not represent character, and high education does not necessarily make me trust you. That's it, I'll arrange for you to be a manager, and I still need you to help me keep an eye on everything when I'm not around!"
Ding Yi was so moved that he didn't know what to say. Since he was a child, Zhang Shiye was the first person who trusted him absolutely, no matter in Beijing or Shanghai. When he was in Beijing, he had the final say in such a huge black market. Zhang Shiye only went there once every one or two months or three or four months to collect the money, and he hardly ever looked at the account book. This sense of trust made him feel very comfortable.
"Boss, since you trust us so much, I won't say anything. Don't worry, as long as you give us a place to live and a hot meal, we will work hard for you all our lives!"
Zhang Shiye smiled, "That's serious. Trust your employees. Don't doubt them. I believe you are not someone who repays kindness with enmity. I will leave all these brothers to you. After the restaurant opens, you can arrange the places for each person according to their personality. Just let me know!"
The host and guests enjoyed the meal very much, and Ding Yi and his group settled down in Shanghai.
Ding Yichang is tall and strong, and when he stands there he looks like a small mountain. It is more useful to have him guarding the construction site than for Zhang Shiye to guard it alone.
Zhang Shiye took some free time to resume his studies. He had less than a year left until graduation, and he wanted to experience college life better in this year.
Xia Wanyang returned to the Xia family that day. Xia Shuqian's daughter and Xia Shuhan's son had been sent to the red education class, and only Xia's mother was at home.
"Mom, come to the room, I have something to tell you!"
The mother and daughter came to Xia Wanyang's room, and the next second she brought Xia's mother into the space.
"Mom, these are the things you left with me. I used some of them when I went to the south a few years ago, and later I made up for them with the money I earned. A total of 820,000 yuan, and there are also some antique jewelry, which I didn't touch. Do you think you can give them some of them and give them to my eldest brother and second brother?"
Mother Xia touched Xia Wanyang's head and said, "The antiques and jewelry are for you. They are the heirlooms of the Gu family left to their daughters. As for the money, give your eldest brother and second brother 150,000 each, and leave 50,000 for mom and dad. The rest is all yours. Only mom and dad know about this money. Your two brothers are men, and men cannot always covet the family's property, otherwise they will lose their fighting spirit.
Also, even if I give you money, it won’t be now, and it won’t be in cash. I’ve been looking for a house recently. Going abroad is very popular now, and many people are selling their houses. I also plan to learn from you and stock up more houses. The value of houses will not shrink in the future. Even if you live on rent, you three siblings won’t have a bad life!"
Xia Wanyang nodded, "Okay, I'm not busy at the moment, I'll accompany you to look at houses, and we'll buy the ones that are suitable, and we'll buy them directly in the names of my eldest and second brothers!"
After the discussion, Xia Wanyang took her mother to tour the space again. The space now was much more prosperous than it was then. The fields were full of various crops, the mountains were full of fruit trees, and the supplies in the warehouse were almost the same.
Dazhuang, Cuihua and Hutou live happily in the mountains every day. Xia Wanyang allows them to take a bath anytime when she is not in the space. Hutou has grown into an adult tiger, and Cuihua is pregnant with her second child.
The white cat March has been living a very comfortable life since being thrown into the space. He sleeps on trees, catches fish in rivers, and plays with monkeys when he is bored. The mountain is full of small pits scratched by him.
Mother Xia was so fond of the shiny and sleek Sanyue that she held her in her arms and kept saying, "Oh, where did you get such a cute cat? Look at its eyes, they are all different colors, it's so beautiful!"
Xia Wanyang stroked Sanyue's fur on her back and said, "I picked it up. Its previous owner abused it. When Zhang Shiye brought it home, it was covered in wounds. It took me several years to raise it to this good condition. Mom, do you like it? How about I give it to you?"
March got furious when he heard this. Although he liked the smell of his owner's mother very much, he didn't want to leave this little world. There was no wind or rain here, and except for being lonely without a partner, it was extremely comfortable all the time.
Mother Xia looked at Sanyue's resistance and shook her head. "It's used to being here. Your nephew and niece are in school, and I feel a little lonely. How about this? Let's go buy another cat this afternoon and choose a companion for Sanyue!"
March's eyes lit up. What a good mate! From now on, those stinky monkeys will never dare to laugh at it and call it a pitiful creature again.
Both mother and daughter are action-oriented. They went to buy three cats and four dogs in the afternoon. The dogs were what Xia Wanyang wanted, and she planned to give one to each family and tie it in the yard. They can guard the house and play with the children at the same time, killing two birds with one stone!
Mother Xia left behind two cats, one male and one female, two beautiful cats with heterochromia.
The remaining Xia Wanyang was received into the space. Sanyue loved it so much that she wanted to take it back to its territory to have cubs.
