Yan Fugui took over the compensation issue, and Zheng Ya went home.
Although facing a courtyard full of beasts aroused their hatred and caused them to continuously offer him unfaithful points, Zheng Ya was not used to being a monkey.
Making money and generating income should be a steady, gradual process; just let things take their natural course.
Cultivating one's mind amidst worldly affairs has become a priority.
Zheng Ya, who wanted to follow her heart and not force herself, felt out of place when she returned home.
The house, which was only about 30 square meters, was empty and exuded a sense of decay and coldness, which he found hard to accept.
Of all my past lives, this one was the worst.
Despite his displeasure, Zheng Ya still wanted to live a new life for tomorrow. He went to the stove to add coal, opened the lid, and made the coal burn brighter, warming the room and warming his heart.
Incidentally, he also tried using his mental power to dissect a wild rabbit in the special ability space to train his mental control and lay the foundation for truly using his planning ability.
This is a tedious training process.
There are basically no shortcuts!
Unless one has exceptionally high comprehension, it's easier to grasp and utilize superpowers more quickly.
Zheng Ya had only been exposed to superpowers for less than a day. Based on his knowledge from the Qian Yuan Continent, he felt like a toddler learning to walk when it came to cultivating superpowers. He was ignorant and found it quite difficult to comprehend his abilities!
After about an hour of training, the results were not obvious.
They did manage to dissect and clean up all the dozens of wild rabbits in the space.
"Knock knock," Yan Fugui knocked on the door. Zheng Ya nodded and let him in: "You guys are really taking your time, discussing for an hour?"
"Ahem, I'm just trying to gain more benefits, aren't I?"
"Besides, you know who those people are. If I don't explain the debt agreement to them clearly, they'll try to renege on their debt!" Yan Fugui wasn't lying; Old Lady Long and the others were indeed trying to default on their debt.
Actually, if Zheng Ya hadn't taken Grandma Long's money and jewelry, even just one bracelet would have been enough to pay off the 20,000 yuan compensation.
Three bracelets, six pairs of jewelry, two agate thumb rings, one box of 36 large yellow croakers, and three boxes of 108 small yellow croakers.
She also had over 1,300 yuan, along with some food coupons, meat coupons, and other receipts—she was quite the rich woman.
This shows that Granny Long is definitely not the orphan of a martyr.
Grandma Long would occasionally take out some money and have Sha Zhu's father, He Daqing, buy high-end ingredients to prepare for her meals.
After He Daqing ran off with the widow, it was Sha Zhu's turn to serve her food and drink.
Ostensibly, it was said that they were cooking for a high-ranking leader, and the leader gave them a return gift.
Zheng Ya knew that Old Lady Long had a craving for food. After taking her money, he realized that Old Lady Long was no ordinary person.
Liu Haizhong's family had eighteen yellow croakers of various sizes, and Xu Damao's family had twenty-four yellow croakers of various sizes. The two families had less than three hundred yuan in total, along with some receipts, and that was all.
Their two families couldn't even come close to Old Madam Long's wealth, which was just a drop in the ocean.
All together, it amounts to a considerable fortune, so Zheng Ya didn't care much about the 20,000 yuan compensation!
What's funny is that Yan Fugui went to such lengths to scheme for 20,000 yuan.
Yan Fugui handed over a little over a thousand yuan in cash and said, "They only have this thirteen hundred yuan on hand. They said they'll go to the bank tomorrow to withdraw eight thousand seven hundred yuan, making it ten thousand yuan."
The remaining ten thousand yuan will be repaid in monthly installments of one hundred yuan until it is fully paid off. Interest will be settled annually. Are you satisfied with this arrangement?
"Well, money isn't important; what's important is our sincerity in cooperating."
"Since you trust me and are doing things for me, you can keep this money and distribute it." Zheng Ya waved his hand, telling him to put the money away, without even taking the IOU.
Yan Fugui, flattered and overwhelmed, clutched the more than one thousand yuan and the IOU, trembling as he said, "This, this isn't appropriate, is it?"
"Alright, since you're cooperating with me, I'm going to set three rules for you." Zheng Ya directly reached out and stuffed the money and IOU into his shirt pocket to establish the rules.
Moved to tears, Yan Fugui made a promise: "Okay, from now on, you will be my boss."
No, that won't work now. You're the boss, and I'll work for you and earn wages.
But if you give me any instructions, I guarantee I'll handle it smoothly. Please accept my request!
"Okay, it's good that you're thoughtful!"
The first rule is that saving and cutting back on expenses is acceptable; it's a way to make money in business. But you can't make money by going against your conscience.
For example, it is acceptable to deduct workers' wages for being late, but it is unacceptable to deduct workers' hard-earned money in order to earn more money.
Withholding money earned through violations and using it as a bonus to reward outstanding workers.
There are many similar situations; we'll deal with them when we encounter them at work in the future.
The second rule is to treat others with honesty and integrity. I won't elaborate on this one; you understand.
"We'll decide on the third point later. Do you have anything to say?" Zheng Ya wanted to test his abilities and see what kind of business to do next.
After all, they had seized three properties and a dozen or so tons of food and supplies from enemy agents, which they urgently needed to sell.
Goods that cannot be stored for long periods and require human management cannot be stored for an extended period if they are not sold.
Even if Zheng Ya reports to the steel rolling mill as a purchasing agent tomorrow, it's impossible for him to procure a large amount of grain and supplies, which would arouse suspicion.
Therefore, the only option left was to sell the supplies they had at the pigeon market; there was no other choice.
This required finding a reliable person to manage the business and also developing manpower to sell the goods. Zheng Ya planned to be a hands-off manager, so he set his sights on Yan Fugui, a shrewd businessman.
Yan Fugui nodded repeatedly, overjoyed, "Okay, I'll follow your arrangements."
"Alright, then you can go to the school and resign tomorrow..." Zheng Ya said something shocking, stopping halfway through his sentence.
I caught a glimpse of Yan Fugui's face, which became quite a sight to behold. Surprise, confusion, annoyance, resentment, and other emotions played out in succession, making for a truly fascinating scene.
Zheng Ya didn't rush him, giving Yan Fugui more than three minutes to process before Yan Fugui finally spoke: "Fine, I'll risk my life for you?"
"Haha, don't worry about teachers' workstations or their meager pensions."
Take the example of me giving you half of the compensation, 10,000 yuan. How many years of your salary and retirement pension could that be equivalent to?
"Besides, if you cooperate with me and work for me, you'll offend Granny Long and her gang to death. They won't let you off easily, understand?" Zheng Ya was certain that Granny Long would retaliate, so it was necessary to make arrangements for Yan Fugui in advance.
Teachers are very prestigious these days.
But things got tougher after 1965.
The ten years of turmoil had the greatest impact on the teaching profession, so it's not a bad thing to get out of it sooner.
Yan Fugui also understood and nodded, saying, "You're right. Just before leaving, Old Lady Long said something nonsensical to me: 'Taking advantage won't amount to anything!'"
"Hmm, she's giving you an ultimatum!" Zheng Ya sneered repeatedly. Old Madam Long and the others were indeed not ones to be taken advantage of.
They felt they had to get revenge for what they had suffered, and Yan Fugui became their first target for retaliation.
Yan Fugui smiled knowingly and said, "It's a pity they miscalculated; you've completely foiled their plan."
"Alright, go back and take care of your teaching position. I'll arrange for you to start work in a few days. The salary is in the three figures. Go!" Zheng Ya waved her away.
Yan Fugui thanked him with delight, "Thank you so much, please have some peace and quiet!"
Does Zhengde's value increase by 100?
Wow, it actually works! Zheng Ya's eyes lit up, and he was overjoyed...
