Zheng Ya spent half a day at the Sun family's medical clinic with his master and mistress, discussing medical techniques and collecting all the Chinese medicinal herbs before driving home.
The jeep drove directly to the planting base. As soon as Zheng Ya opened the door and got out of the car, he was greeted by Yan Fugui's complaints: "Little Zheng, hurry up and finalize the matter of the number of work positions at the planting base."
Otherwise, I'll be driven crazy by everyone in the compound!
"Six catties of meat, ten yuan. Why didn't you tell me you made money?" Zheng Ya exposed his shortcomings to his face, not wanting him to feel good.
Yan Fugui, who is notoriously stingy, deserves a beating. He dared to collude with Qin Huairu for personal gain, which is unforgivable.
Although Zheng Ya had no objection to the harm done to Jia Zhangshi and her son, he did not want his subordinates to be dishonest.
There's no problem in dealing with Jia Zhangshi and her son; it could have been done openly and honestly.
This collaboration with Qin Huairu to scheme against others is tantamount to Qin Huairu gaining leverage over Yan Fugui, while Yan Fugui, foolishly happy to make a small fortune, is completely unaware that he has been manipulated by Qin Huairu.
You might call Yan Fugui stupid, but he's incredibly shrewd and a master at making money.
But even such a shrewd person fell into Qin Huairu's trap.
Upon hearing this, Yan Fugui blushed with embarrassment and apologized profusely: "Ahem, Xiao Zheng, I, I won't do it again next time!"
"Come on, you've made bad habits into habits, no wonder you can't change them."
"I'll just tell you one thing: if you can't find a job for the ten positions in the department, you're fired." Zheng Ya planned to flatter Yan Fugui to the point of ruin, so that Yan Fugui wouldn't settle down and do his job properly unless he experienced hardship.
If you're so capable, go and steal the money from people's bribes to secure your job quota.
The people in the courtyard could eat Yan Fugui alive.
Zheng Ya looked forward to it, while Yan Fugui gave a wry smile, his scalp tingling: "Ah, Xiao Zheng, are you making me provoke public outrage?"
"That's your problem. As the only person in charge of the compound, how can you not manage the people here? How can you be so shameless?" Zheng Ya waved his hand to shoo him away and walked towards Old Yuan, who was strolling around the base looking at the scenery.
Yan Fugui, his face dark with misery, pushed up his black-rimmed glasses and watched his departing figure, saying, "Alright, I'll try my best to handle this matter well, sigh!"
"If you find it difficult, I can talk to the principal of Hongxing Elementary School and ask him to reinstate your teacher position," Zheng Ya said without turning his head. "Can't handle you?"
Upon hearing this, Yan Fugui jumped up and said, "No, no need, Xiao Zheng, I promise to handle this matter well!"
"Haha, why are you bullying a shrewd bastard like him?" Old Yuan had come specifically to see him after hearing that he had driven back, to discuss some private matters.
Zheng Ya had long sensed that he had come on purpose, and walked up to him as they strolled through the pine forest, saying, "I can't compare to a master like you."
Soaring high and low, flying freely!
If I want to run a business and build a family, I need to learn how to manage people. Managing Yan Fugui well is equivalent to managing the planting base. So, if I don't make things difficult for him, who else should I make things difficult for?"
"Don't try to play innocent after getting a good deal. Tell me, are you in trouble and need my help?" Old Yuan negotiated with him, and the profits increased many times over once he got the leverage.
Zheng Ya was taken aback and said in surprise, "You know about the trouble I was in that someone came to my door?"
"Truly a master, impressive!"
"You're asking a question you already know the answer to, just making conversation out of nothing. That's not like your straightforward style at all!" Old Yuan was very dissatisfied with his pretentious attitude. You're still too green to play psychological games.
Zheng Ya shook his head and chuckled: "Old Yuan, I know what you're thinking."
I'm not the kind of person who would bite you off without spitting out the bones. I'm just giving you face by letting you speak first.
Why did you make me spell it out? Isn't it embarrassing?
"You brat, fine, I won't hold it against you. Who told me to owe the Zheng family this? I admit defeat and won't hold it against you." Old Yuan was furious. His privacy had been completely violated, and he couldn't even vent his anger on the other person. How infuriating!
Zheng Ya walked to the west end of the pine forest, leaned against a pine tree trunk, and looked at the setting sun in the west, enjoying the warmth of the sunlight. He said, "Old Yuan, don't be angry. This person has his own talent, right?"
"I'm so talented, you can't blame me for invading your privacy..."
"You brat, are you never going to shut up?" Old Yuan was furious. What are you so smug about? If I didn't owe the Zheng family a favor, I would have crippled you. How dare you!
Zheng Ya laughed without the slightest fear, "Old Yuan, you need my help. Even if I make you so angry you vomit blood, you won't dare lay a finger on me..."
"Damn it, shut up! The last time Hu Donglai caused trouble for you, he was assisting enemy agents in plotting to kill you, but you managed to retaliate and break his leg, ending up in the hospital."
He is a returnee from overseas and a professor at the Academy of Agricultural Sciences.
"So if someone's causing you trouble today, it's because he's secretly instigating everyone at the Academy of Agricultural Sciences to target you, understand?" Old Yuan didn't want to waste time arguing with him and get angry, so he directly explained the details of the case he had uncovered.
In fact, Hu Donglai had not committed any major crimes, either openly or secretly. At most, he was just a gossip who would talk nonsense to people.
Furthermore, since the military and police had not found any evidence of Hu Donglai's crimes, they kept him under surveillance and pursued him, waiting for him to contact enemy agents before launching an arrest operation.
According to the intelligence Lao Yuan found, Hu Dong had been frequenting high-end places since returning from the United States.
It wasn't a big deal in itself. It's normal for Hu Donglai to have money and tickets to frequent high-end places. After all, he's a returnee from overseas and has money.
Enjoying a superior life is not a big deal for these returnees.
However, the reality of the country is that it is extravagant and wasteful, corrupt, and out of touch with the working masses.
Old Yuan shared this view, so he followed Hu Donglai and discovered that Hu Donglai was secretly contacting Americans, and he wondered what they were plotting.
The collective outcry from the people at the Academy of Agricultural Sciences to cause trouble for Zheng Ya was a dirty trick instigated by Hu Donglai, with ulterior motives that remain unclear.
This situation surprised Zheng Ya: "Hu Donglai was also one of those who coveted the Muchen Pearl Gold Foil."
At the very least, he was an unofficial employee.
So, besides plotting to obtain the Muchen Pearl and Gold Foil, could it be that they're also interested in the grain seeds I've cultivated?
"Hmm, that's accurate. Grain seeds are strategic resources for the country. You'd better be careful and don't let foreigners steal the seed technology." Old Yuan was very patriotic and hated traitors.
If Yuan Shikai hadn't failed to uncover evidence of Hu Donglai's treason and crimes, he would have sent Hu Donglai back to his hometown long ago.
Zheng Ya understood why the Academy of Agricultural Sciences was causing trouble, and sneered, "Ha, they're coveting the fruits of my labor. I'm afraid they won't live to enjoy them."
Okay, tell me about your situation.
"Kid, take good care of Wei'er for me..."
"Tch, you can say that to your Wei'er, not to me."
"You brat, she's already been conquered by you, didn't you realize?" Old Yuan didn't want to admit it, but it was the truth.
However, Wu Wei, the person involved, will never admit it, and will instead set Zheng Ya as her goal to pursue and surpass...
