Zhu Dayou, seeing Bufan doing well, stretched his ferocious old face into a blossom. Unconsciously, he even seemed to have grown kinder by three parts.
A chubby young man standing behind, seeing Zhu Dayou in a good mood, finally mustered the courage to step forward and grab Bufan's hand, saying, "Brother Bufan, you're really amazing! Just half a year in Ark City and you've got a house, car, and a girl. My mom said I should follow you, and you've got to take good care of me!"
"Of course, of course, we're brothers; don't worry, Er Dan, I'll arrange a good position for you!" Bufan said with a pat on his shoulder and a cheerful laugh.
Behind him, Du Yujia's pretty face slightly changed. She wanted to come forward and scold Bufan, but she held back and couldn't speak. The company isn't making much profit yet, what are you doing bringing a whole bunch of freeloaders here? Are you trying to make me feed these loafers for nothing?
The expression on Du Yujia's face was fleeting, but it didn't escape Zhu Dayou's sharp eyes.
This guy, not taking things seriously, flirted with Du Yujia: "This lady must be single, right? I don't know if you're available now, but I was thinking..."
"I want to kill you, you old rascal!" Zhao Juan burst out angrily, grabbing Zhu Dayou's ear and scolding fiercely, "Are you scheming something again? Tell me."
"No, no," Zhu Dayou struggled to say, "I really didn't mean anything by it. Yujia is Bufan's consultant, busy working for him day and night. What's wrong with inviting her to meal?"
"Hmph, fine, you have a point, but if there's a treat, it should be me, as his mother, who hosts it. You just go back and mind the store for Bufan. If you say any more nonsense, I'll break those old bones of yours."
"Yes, yes, yes," Zhu Dayou, despite his fierce appearance, was utterly submissive to Zhao Juan, a petite woman, nodding and agreeing without stop.
This scene looked extremely discordant, but it brought Du Yujia to tears, sobbing uncontrollably. The rough and fearsome man across her, though appearing quite scary, indeed seemed like a good man, much better than the man Du Yujia had left.
Seeing Du Yujia's teary eyes, Zhao Juan actually raised her hand and slapped Zhu Dayou's face, sternly scolding, "What are you standing there for? Hurry and go apologize to Yujia."
"Let's leave it, we're all family here, no harm done. Let's head back, we can talk more about it when we get back. Get in the car." Du Yujia quickly adjusted her mood and called everyone to the car.
It wasn't the place for talking, so everyone hurriedly boarded the cars.
Zhu Dayou and Zhao Juan took a few young women in a small car, while Bufan and his group of brothers boarded a large bus. In this moment, his sense of identity seemed to have been tossed to the clouds.
Besides the two "veterans" Zhu Dayou and Zhao Juan, there were in total 29 people who came, 18 male and 11 female. All of them were from Bufan's village, naturally close with Er Dan and the few others, with the rest mostly hitching a ride.
Although Zhu Dayou was a bit fierce, he still had considerable prestige locally. He openly declared that Bufan had started a large company in Ark City with assets worth billions, and was extremely impressive. Anyone wanting a future could come along with him.
Guaranteed that everyone has arrangements! My son is the CEO, that's how awesome he is.
In Chunjiang New Village, although the company's paperwork and various affairs were ready and houses were even sold, it had not officially been registered. Du Yujiao had been working her heart out for her daughters' business, shamelessly contacting various friends for help. She even asked Zhan Yucheng to assist in roping in people.
The couple has quite a reputable background in Fangzhou City, and now that they've put aside their pride to recruit people, the results are astonishing. Over the past several days, they've managed to recruit over 30 "customers" willing to buy houses in Chunjiang New Village.
However, these people are just friends helping out, not truly intending to live in the houses. Since it's all just for show, they need to choose the most appropriate moment.
These friendly customers all plan to buy the houses on the day of the sales ceremony.
Zhu Bufan, leading this group of "workers" back home, really made Du Yujiao frown, especially when she saw the fierce look on Zhu Dayou's face, which made her shake her head repeatedly. It's hard to imagine Little Huang living daily with these people. How could she manage?
However, seeing Zhao Juan relatively close to Zhan Feihuang without minding the girl's "stubborn" issue, Du Yujiao felt a bit relieved. Warned by Zhao Juan, Zhu Dayou had now shut up and played dumb, saying nothing.
Zhao Juan, holding one hand of Zhu Bufan and the other of Zhan Feihuang, approached Du Yujiao and politely said, "Have you settled the matters between the Qin Family's two kids yet? If not, hurry them up, I am waiting to see my grandchildren!"
Du Yujiao felt a surge of irritation but couldn't help responding politely, "Fei Huang is still in school. We can arrange the marriage after she graduates." This statement wasn't a discussion but an announcement.
This is my decision, no question about it!
Zhan Feihuang quickly added, "Don't worry, Auntie, we're already family now. The paperwork can be done anytime."
Du Yujiao felt overwhelmingly irritated, thinking how hard it is to keep a grown daughter at home. When did this stubborn girl become so eager to get married?
Du Yujiao had other matters to attend to, and while she was making a phone call, Zhao Juan didn't want to disturb her. She then walked with Zhu Bufan out of the hall and into the courtyard.
"Little Yi, all of Chunjiang New Village belongs to you?" Zhao Juan asked with great enthusiasm.
Zhu Bufan hurriedly explained, "These are all owned by the company."
"You are the CEO, the top dog, right?" Seeing Zhu Bufan nod, she continued, "Isn't it all up to you in the company?"
"That's true," Zhu Bufan reluctantly nodded.
Although he doesn't have much actual power in the company, as it's always Du Yujia messing around, she still respects him as the CEO. Everything is done in his name, and that's enough.
Zhao Juan leaned in close and whispered, "Didn't you say before that the company is worth several hundred million?"
In a low voice, Zhu Bufan replied, "The company has expanded, now it's worth more than 20 billion."
"So much!" Zhao Juan said excitedly, "Bufan, quickly give me that 20 billion, let Mama keep it safe for you. We can save it in the bank and live off the interest for a lifetime!"
Zhu Bufan didn't reject immediately but instead took a card from his pocket and handed it to Zhao Juan, saying, "Mom, here's 1 million. Use it first. We can't touch the company's money right now."
