Chapter 162 The final arrangement
The young couple heard their father's voice and answered at the same time: "Okay, Dad, you go to sleep too!"
The young couple said nothing more and got under the quilt.
They had not had the opportunity to spend time together alone for a long time, and the joy of reunion made them talk eagerly. They told each other about their thoughts and the trivialities of their recent lives.
Mu Chunhua buried her head in Hou Yinghui's chest, feeling his warm breath and strong heartbeat.
Hou Jie would gently stroke Chunhua's hair. After the two of them tossed and turned for a while, they gradually felt sleepy and finally fell asleep peacefully in each other's arms.
When we returned to the vegetable market, Zhang Dalong seemed very excited when he saw me. He walked towards me quickly, his face full of concern and worry.
Before Zhang Dalong could stand up completely, he couldn't wait to speak:
"Boss, where have you been all this time? You scared me so much! You know, since the day you disappeared, I haven't heard from you for half a month. I was so worried, afraid that something had happened to you."
Zhang Dalong's life during this period can be described as sitting on pins and needles, and he was always worried. In the past, he had Hou Jie as his solid backing and backbone. Although Hou Jie was often busy, in Zhang Dalong's mind, as long as the boss was there, all problems could be solved. Therefore, during those days, although Zhang Dalong's life was busy, he did not feel too much pressure and anxiety.
However, ever since Hou Jie suddenly disappeared for more than half a month, as if he had evaporated from the face of the earth, Zhang Dalong began to become panicked.
He began to doubt whether he could cope with the challenges in life alone. Every daily decision had to be made by him personally. Without Hou Jie's guidance and support, he felt like he had lost his sense of direction.
During this period, Zhang Dalong was no longer as steady and calm as before. Instead, he became flustered and even a little confused.
This change was particularly evident when he heard the news of Hou Jie's return. When he heard the news of Hou Jie's return, he immediately rushed to Hou Jie excitedly.
When he saw Hou Jie standing in front of him safe and sound, his heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down, as if he had found the support he had lost for many years.
Hou Jie looked at Zhang Dalong in front of him, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes, but with his usual calmness and composure. He still maintained his leisurely attitude and said to Zhang Dalong:
"Dalong, you need to stay calm when facing big things. You look so irritable now, you are nothing like your old self."
Zhang Dalong felt very aggrieved and looked at Hou Jie eagerly.
"Boss, aren't we used to your presence? Isn't it normal that I'm a little flustered when you suddenly leave?"
Hou Jie also knew his difficulties. After all, he was still a kid with little experience and couldn't take on any responsibilities. So he didn't make things difficult for him. He let him sit down and chat slowly.
"Dalong, how are you doing lately? Are things going well?"
Zhang Dalong gave him a detailed report on recent events, everything went smoothly and according to plan.
Hou Jie smiled and slowly expressed his thoughts, his eyes flashing with determination and expectation:
"By the way, I recently successfully purchased a considerable amount of seafood."
He paused for a moment, then continued, "In order to properly store these catches, I need you to arrange for the construction or renovation of a large cold storage as soon as possible. Once it's ready, you can start selling it right away."
After hearing this, Zhang Dalong immediately became serious, as he knew this would be an important task.
He quickly took out a small and exquisite notebook from his pocket and began to carefully record every instruction from Hou Jie, writing every word with extra effort, fearing that he would miss an important detail.
Hou Jie looked at Zhang Dalong's serious expression and a helpless smile appeared on his face.
He muttered to himself: "Do you have to be so serious? I didn't say anything."
Although he thought so in his heart, he didn't say anything, but just nodded slightly.
Hou Jie's tone revealed a seriousness that could not be ignored. He continued:
"There is one more important thing I need to tell you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Dalong couldn't help but look up and meet Hou Jie's eyes, his face full of concentration and sincerity. He knew the importance of this task, so he decided to listen attentively to ensure that every word and every sentence could be deeply understood and properly implemented.
"It's like this. We've been too high-profile recently and have been targeted by the Nationalist government's secret service. For the sake of future safety, Dalong, we have to speed up the implementation of our plan. After the staff dormitory is completed, we can let our guys spread rumors.
"Let's say our Yongchang Grain Store is not doing well, and we have started to build a large number of factories. We are short of funds and are on the verge of bankruptcy."
Zhang Dalong added, "Yes, Boss, I've checked it out. The staff dormitory will be finished in about a month. After all, there are so many people working on it, so it will be fast."
Hou Jie nodded, very satisfied.
"Very good. As for food, I will gradually stop providing it after two months. You must prepare in advance."
"Except for necessary schools and orphanages, I will continue to provide supplies as usual, and I will not care about other things."
"From collecting grain to selling it, just try to balance income and expenditure. I will rely on you in the future. I will slowly withdraw from the public eye and live in seclusion behind the scenes. From now on, Yongchang will no longer have a young master. You are the real owner of Yongchang Grain Store, so you must keep it stable."
"For the next few years, you just hold on and wait for my arrangements. If you feel it's dangerous, you can let go. Safety comes first, understand?"
"Got it, Boss. I will wake up."
Although Zhang Dalong was well prepared, he was still a little flustered. But after thinking about it, he gritted his teeth and agreed.
"I'm just an employee anyway, so I can just come back to find the boss!"
Hou Jie continued to instruct, "Da Long, use the money from the sale to set aside for operating funds. Give the rest to Niu Jizu. I have already told him what to do, so don't worry about his character. If you want to find me, tell Wu Laoqi, and he will pass on the news to us. If you have any difficulties, come to me again."
Hou Jie summoned several key personnel one by one, and patiently and meticulously assigned tasks one by one, ensuring that every detail was properly arranged. When all matters were properly handled, he left quietly, as if a breeze had blown by, leaving no trace.
Hou Jie considered the complexity of the people in the courtyard and decided to take precautions to avoid possible disputes and troubles in the future. This not only provides them with more living space, but also guarantees safety.
Then, he called Wu Laoqi,
He ordered, "Seventh Brother, buy me a house in the backyard of No. 96 next door. You can take care of the decoration. The people here are too chaotic. If you don't have enough money, go to Dalong to withdraw it."
After Wu Laoqi heard this, he became excited and decided to perform well this time.
"Okay, young master, just wait and see! I will make sure it's done beautifully for you this time."
After that, he went about his business. He no longer paid attention to the situation here.
