It's already the 21st century, and I just found the imperial seal

April was a busy, incredibly busy month for Su Yu.

From work to life, I'm constantly on the go.

Zhou Xiaoqiang and his group went to Africa and began a difficult life there, striving for themselves and their descendants.

As the boss in China, Su Yu can't offer much, mainly financial assistance.

They need to rely on themselves to truly gain a foothold.

Fortunately, he is also continuously recruiting veterans.

Those who are reliable and willing to risk their lives will be sent to African gold mines to hone their skills.

Su Yu's goal wasn't high; he just wanted to support a thousand people at that base.

Of course, these thousand people are not ordinary thousand people; each one is trained according to the qualities of a junior officer.

After some time, he will find two retired military academy instructors to provide them with more systematic training.

Let them understand the cruelty of war, hone their execution skills, and then wait for an opportunity to build a real military base.

At this point, these people will come in handy.

One person represents one team.

A thousand people make up a thousand teams.

……

Before we knew it, it was already mid-May.

Under the scorching sun, Su Yu led his men to inspect the construction site of Furong Peach Blossom Spring.

At this time, the original Flower and Fruit Mountain had been greatly changed after being excavated by a large amount of machinery.

The site was divided into sections, and the workers were busy working in their respective areas!
The workers in China are among the most hardworking people.

Behind every child is a family with high hopes. As parents, they want to save more money for their children.

Used to buy a house and a car, to get married and have children.

Lacking education but wanting to earn a high salary, one can only do these incredibly hard jobs.

Behind their hard work lies an incredibly beautiful wish.

If you've suffered, then your children shouldn't suffer too.

May our descendants never suffer again!

This is a curse etched into the blood and genes of the vast majority of people in the Dragon Kingdom, and it is also a constraint imposed on ordinary people like them by morality and law!
You'll never get rich making money on construction sites.

Children who lack discipline are likely to amount to nothing.

But they don't understand these things.

As long as the money is there, they will be motivated.

With enthusiasm, the project will naturally progress rapidly.

In addition, Su Yu's perfect blueprints ensured that every piece of data was accurate.

As long as the project manager and construction workers strictly adhere to his standards, there's no need to worry about rework.

Having spent many years navigating the complexities of the construction industry, Su Yu knew the tricks of the trade on construction sites, where the thickness of the bribe was a measure of error.

So he simply made his own statement.

Every month, someone will be sent to inspect the current construction progress. If there are any errors in the data, the person responsible will be held accountable and sent to prison.

When he gets serious, no one dares to fool him.

After all, his connections are there; if you want to fool him, you'd better think twice.

Of course, this is only the early stage of the project, and everyone is still quite self-disciplined.

Later on, some people naturally relaxed.

When the time comes, he will make an example of someone to scare others, and he won't be polite at all.

Xin County was his territory; he had plenty of ways to get people in using the most formal procedures.

After walking around for a while, the weather was unbearably hot.

Han Zhiyi followed behind, dressed in a neat work uniform and holding a parasol. "President Su, would you like some water?"

Su Yu took the water handed to him by his English teacher and took a big gulp.

Luo Cheng is the security manager for this project and also Su Yu's confidant. "President Su, it's too hot. Let's go back to the office first!"

"We're hot, but the workers are even hotter!"

With one hand on his hip, Su Yu looked around and asked, "Have you all finished their work on cooling them down?"

"President Su, I've made the arrangements."

The site manager immediately stepped forward and said, "You can drink as much ice water as you like, as well as chilled watermelon and Huoxiang Zhengqi Water (a traditional Chinese medicine for heatstroke)."

"If the temperature on the construction site exceeds 38 degrees Celsius, I will arrange for them to rest."

"The construction site needs to meet the deadline, so we can work at night."

Su Yu nodded, "Just make sure to coordinate your work hours."

It's not the hottest time of the year yet.

These workers have been exposed to wind, sun, and rain outdoors for long periods of time, and have adapted to various harsh environments. Their rough skin has a strong resistance to these conditions.

For ordinary people like Su Yu, the heat under the sun was unbearable, but it was nothing out of the ordinary for them.

It wasn't until July and August that the heat became unbearable.

The working hours will be from 6 a.m. to start the day early and finish get off work as soon as the sun is up.

We take a five- or six-hour break at noon, and then go back to work around four or five in the afternoon when the sun is about to set. Even at night, we keep working to finish all the work we didn't do during the day.

Although Su Yu felt sympathy for these people, he did not offer them any special conditions.

As a boss, he is already a good boss if he doesn't lower their wages and settles their salaries on time.

Having determined the project schedule and identified potential safety hazards at the construction sites, Su Yu issued instructions, assigning the responsibility of rectifying these issues to the project managers at each site.

Finally, he called Luo Cheng aside and kept him alone.

Su Yu smiled and tossed him a cigarette. "How's the construction site?"

Luo Cheng was sincerely grateful for his boss's recognition and support. "President Su, I take people around to explore whenever I have free time, and there are no problems so far."

Although he was just a security manager, he had a heavy responsibility, unlike other security guards at construction sites who just loafed around and wasted their time.

He was responsible for maintaining order at the construction site and overseeing operational safety.

Su Yu already had a basic understanding of the situation at the construction site. After saying a few words, he asked with a smile, "Have you heard about what happened with Zhou Xiaoqiang?"

Luo Cheng nodded with a smile, "I've heard some things."

He didn't have much contact with Zhou Xiaoqiang. Although they were on WeChat, they didn't chat much.

Su Yu said, "He called me the day before yesterday, saying that he had a fight with another mine and killed four people!"

Luo Cheng was startled. "Someone died over there. Will Brother Qiang and the others be in trouble?"

"The laws there are inadequate, and human life is cheap."

Su Yu shook his head. "For the loss of a life, all that's needed is to give the local government 200,000 yuan."

Luo Cheng clicked his tongue in amazement, "That human life is really worthless."

"The area is rich in minerals, including various gold and gemstone mines."

Su Yu asked, "Are you interested in coming over for a visit?"

Luo Cheng licked his lips lightly, his eyes gleaming with undisguised ambition. "President Su, I've wanted to go for a long time, but I was afraid I wasn't qualified!"

His own family knows his own affairs.

This time, his decision to take charge of the construction site on his own has already caused dissatisfaction among some people, who have made sarcastic and mocking remarks about him on several occasions.

If only we could develop our careers abroad like Zhou Xiaoqiang.

Those people will definitely have something to say.

"hehe--"

What does "qualification" mean?

Su Yu smiled and patted the other man on the shoulder, "You've been working under me for a while now, and you're quite capable in all aspects."

"If you keep a close eye on the construction site and there are no problems by the end of the year, that will be a great achievement."

"Next year, I'll buy a few more mines over there, and you can go and take charge of one of them!"

He paused for a moment, then continued, "I give every one of my subordinates a chance."

"But even if they are given the opportunity, it also depends on their individual abilities."

"The capable rise, the incompetent fall!"

“I have seen your ability and loyalty.”

"If I say you're qualified, then you're qualified!"

Luo Cheng looked grateful. "Thank you for your trust, President Su!"

"Just work hard."

Su Yu laughed, "It won't be so easy abroad!"

After a busy day, Su Yu finished work and returned home with Han Zhiyi.

By April, the English teacher would be thirty-five years old.

A few days ago, Han's mother had a serious talk with him about their marriage.

Su Yu also told Han's mother about his current situation.

If Han's mother doesn't mind, he can hold a wedding with Han Zhiyi at any time.

Han's mother already knew some of her son-in-law's situation from her daughter, and said that as long as Su Yu treated her daughter well in the future, there would be no problem.

Su Yu actually knew that Han's mother was asking him on behalf of the English teacher.

Han Zhiyi knew about his situation, but she didn't care.

If a man is capable, it doesn't matter if he has more sisters or brothers.

She really loved this man.

She believed that the man loved her very much.

"Xiaoyu!"

At the dinner table, Han's mother smiled and said, "I went to someone to choose an auspicious date today, and July 13th is a good day. What do you think?"

Su Yu smiled and said, "Mom, you can arrange my marriage with Zhiyi!"

"That's fine."

Han's mother smiled and nodded, "I checked. July 13th is the eighth day of the sixth lunar month, a Saturday, so everyone has time."

Su Yu looked at his English teacher and asked, "When are we going to take our wedding photos?"

Han Zhiyi was pleasantly surprised, "You want to take wedding photos with me?"

Su Yu smiled and grabbed the woman's hand, "I'm going to marry you, so we definitely have to take wedding photos together!"

Han Zhiyi looked at her mother, "Mom, could you go and ask for me?"

Han's mother smiled and nodded, "No problem."

At the dinner table, Mr. Han had a somber face and didn't say a word the entire time.

Although he liked his son-in-law Su Yu, his son-in-law was too capable and had too many women around him.

He wanted to oppose the marriage, but his family status wasn't high enough for him to say those words.

His daughter likes it, his wife likes it, what can a man like him do?
According to his thinking, a man should be devoted to one woman for life and do his best to treat her well.

Even though Su Yu was about to marry his daughter, he would still say, "You're not a proper man!"

Of course, I only said it in my heart.

"dad!"

"mom!"

"husband!"

Han Zhiyi took a deep breath, her eyes revealing a hint of excitement. "Actually, there's something I haven't told you."

Mr. and Mrs. Han looked at their daughter. "What is it?"

Han Zhiyi touched her belly and said, "I'm pregnant!"

"what?"

Mr. and Mrs. Han looked on with surprise and delight, "You're pregnant?"

Han Zhiyi nodded slightly. "I found out a few days ago when I went to the hospital for a checkup."

Su Yu smiled and grabbed his wife's hand, "Why didn't you tell me?"

He actually knew all along, but since his English teacher didn't say anything, he pretended not to know.

Han Zhiyi said, "I've seen how busy you've been with work lately, so I thought I'd wait until we're all together as a family before we talk about it."

She didn't care whether she got married or not, as long as the two of them were together.

But she missed her period a few days ago, and when she went to the hospital for a checkup, she found out she was pregnant.

She doesn't care about being with a man without any status or recognition.

But now that she's pregnant, she can't continue like this, so she can't just stay in such a muddle.

Even without a marriage certificate, a wedding ceremony should still be held.

At least she was the woman a man properly married.

She served her parents-in-law a cup of tea as a sign of respect and addressed them as "Dad" and "Mom."

When the baby in my belly is born, I can openly call them grandpa and grandma!
But she didn't want to use the child in her belly to blackmail a man into marrying her.

So I told my mom that I wanted to get married and asked her to talk to Su Yu.

Now that the couple has set a wedding date, they're going to take wedding photos.

Once she tells everyone she's pregnant, everything will be fine.

When his daughter became pregnant, Mr. Han sighed helplessly. Just as he was about to speak, he heard a knock on the door.

"Boom boom boom——"

He got up to open the door, only to find two people standing outside who surprised him. The words that were on the tip of his tongue escaped his lips: "What are you doing here?"

"Who?"

Sensing something amiss in her husband's words, Han's mother also got up and went over.

When she saw the two people outside the door, she was also somewhat surprised, "What are you doing here?"

At this moment, the two people outside the door finally spoke.

"Old Han, Second Sister!"

"We were wrong before. Please, kind adults, have mercy on us and let us go."

Upon hearing the familiar voices, Han Zhiyi immediately whispered to the man, "My dad's former boss and his wife."

Su Yu suddenly realized, "Your third cousin's wife!"

Han Zhiyi nodded. "It's them."

Looking at the two people carrying gifts outside the door, Han's mother was a little confused. "My husband was fired by you last year. You must have the wrong people."

"Old Han has resigned."

Wu Sanyu gave an awkward laugh, "But don't I still owe him a breach of contract fee?"

"More than half a year has passed, and we haven't asked you for any penalty for breach of contract."

Han's mother said impatiently, "You should leave now. You are not welcome in our home."

It's only because her husband has a good personality and temper; if it were her, she would have reported him to the labor bureau long ago.

Wu Sanyu glanced at his wife, signaling her to say something quickly.

"Zhiyi's mom, I was wrong last time. I spoke too impulsively and without thinking."

Wang Chunhua forced a smile, "You're so kind, please have mercy on us and let us live."

Han's mother said coldly, "Zhiyi's father didn't cause you any trouble because of our past relationship. What are you talking about?"

Wu Sanyu was also somewhat surprised, "You didn't know about the accident at my factory?"

Han's mother shook her head. "I don't know."

Han's father asked, "What happened at the factory?"

Seeing that the two of them really didn't know, Wu Sanyu sighed, "Last week, the city cracked down on pollution, and our factory was used as a typical example. It has been shut down for several days now."

He glanced into the house and continued, "I knew Zhiyi's boyfriend was very capable, so I assumed..."

"Why?"

Han's mother glared at her and interrupted her, "Our Xiaoyu doesn't have time to deal with you."

"It's only because Zhiyi's father still cares about our past relationship that he would have shut your factory down long ago."

"Yes Yes Yes!"

Wu Sanyu smiled apologetically, "We know we were wrong. This is my company's breach of contract penalty to Lao Han."

“He worked in our factory for 32 years. If we calculate it according to N+1, it will be exactly 400,000.”

"Plus the penalty for breach of contract, which has been delayed for so long, it comes to 600,000!"

As he spoke, he took out six thick stacks of red banknotes from the bag he was carrying.

Han's mother frowned. "What do you mean?"

Wu Sanyu smiled and said, "About my factory..."

"No time!"

Han's mother slammed the door shut with a loud "bang!"
