Siheyuan: I am Banggeng's uncle

Chapter 958 Daoist Treasure Yu Qian!

Considering there were other people at home, Jia Dongming finished dinner at Lin Yuemei's house and then, using the excuse that he had to work overtime, drove away from Lin Yuemei's house, leaving her with a reluctant farewell.

Half an hour later, the jeep stopped in front of a small courtyard. Jia Dongming took out a television set and an antenna device from the system and placed them on the back seat of the jeep. Then he opened the car door and shouted into the courtyard, "Anbang! Quiet! You two come out and help me with these things."

Jia Anjing, who had just finished dinner and was about to go back to her room to read, heard a faint shout coming from outside the yard. Her face lit up with joy, and she quickly asked Jia Anbang, "Brother! Listen carefully, is Dad calling us from outside?"

Upon hearing his sister's question, Jia Anbang hurried to the door of the main room. When he heard shouts coming from outside the courtyard, he happily called out to Yu Li and Yu Haitang, who were tidying up, "Mom! Aunt! My dad's here!"

As he spoke, Jia Anbang quickly walked to the gate of the courtyard, opened it, and saw Jia Dongming standing in front of the jeep. He asked Jia Dongming with a happy expression, "Dad! Why are you here so late?"

When Jia Dongming saw his son running out of the yard, he smiled and said to him, "Anbang! Didn't Xiaojing keep saying she wanted a TV? So Dad pulled some strings and bought one for her."

"Dad! Are you serious? You really bought me a TV?" Jia Anjing, who was following closely behind, heard what Jia Dongming said to Jia Anbang and her face immediately lit up with joy. She then ran to the Jeep, and when she saw the box on the back seat in the dim light, she hugged Jia Dongming tightly and said happily, "Dad! I love you to death!"

Hearing his daughter's words and sensing her excitement, Jia Dongming chuckled and teased her, "Xiaojing! Dad bought you a TV, and you love Dad to death. If Dad hadn't fulfilled your wish, would you not love Dad anymore?"

At this moment, Yu Li and Yu Haitang, the two sisters, also came out of the yard. When Yu Li saw the box that Jia Anbang was carrying and heard the conversation between Jia Dongming and Jia Anjing, she said to Jia Dongming in an annoyed tone, "Brother Dongming! Xiaojing said she wanted a TV, so you bought her a TV. If you keep spoiling her like this, one day she'll become too arrogant!"

Hearing Yu Li's complaints and seeing his daughter completely dependent on him, Jia Dongming smiled and replied, "A daughter is a father's little cotton-padded jacket. If I don't spoil her, who will?"

As Jia Dongming finished speaking, he noticed Yu Haitang standing next to Yu Li and asked her with some surprise, "Haitang! What are you doing here again? Did you have another fight with your Tsinghua family?"

Upon hearing Jia Dongming's words, Yu Haitang was not embarrassed at all. Instead, she asked him indignantly, "Brother-in-law! I don't want to live like this anymore. I want to divorce that bastard Zhang Qinghua, but my parents and my sister don't support me. Will you support me, brother-in-law?"

Yu Haitang is extremely proud and confident. Her pride leads her to demand not only material satisfaction but also emotional fulfillment. This excessive confidence, however, causes her to make poor decisions, lack depth in emotional investment, and is self-centered. She will abandon you without hesitation if things don't go her way. When Jia Dongming learned that Yu Haitang wanted a divorce, he wasn't surprised at all. He first handed his briefcase to his daughter, then turned and took the antenna from the back seat. Only after he entered the yard did he solemnly advise Yu Haitang, "Haitang! The reason your sister divorced Yan Jiecheng was not only because the Yan family was too scheming, but more importantly, because she saw no hope in him."

After saying this, Jia Dongming paused slightly, thinking about Yu Haitang's husband's character, and then asked Yu Haitang, "Haitang! Although Zhang Qinghua is just an ordinary clerk, he is honest and reliable, and he is very obedient to you. Are you sure that after you divorce Zhang Qinghua, you can find a better partner than Zhang Qinghua?"

When Yu Haitang heard Jia Dongming mention Zhang Qinghua's personality, her face immediately showed a look of disappointment and frustration. She said to Jia Dongming, "Brother-in-law! Zhang Qinghua is just too honest. He has worked for so many years and is still just an ordinary clerk. If he had even a third of your ability, I wouldn't have mentioned divorce to him."

When Jia Dongming heard Yu Haitang compare Zhang Qinghua to himself, he finally understood Yu Haitang's true thoughts. Thinking of Zhang Qinghua's character, Jia Dongming earnestly advised Yu Haitang: "Haitang! Everything has two sides. Over the years, I have indeed had many opportunities to be promoted to the department level, but do you know why I would rather not be promoted and stay in the security department of the steel rolling mill?"

Upon hearing Jia Dongming's words, Yu Haitang recalled what Jia Dongming had said in the past and blurted out to Jia Dongming, "Brother-in-law! Didn't you say that ten deputy heads are not as good as one head, which is why you are unwilling to be transferred to other units?"

Upon hearing Yu Haitang's words, Jia Dongming smiled and said to her, "Haitang! You really believe what I'm saying? Let me tell you the truth! The reason I'm unwilling to transfer to another unit is not because I want to be a deputy, but because the current situation doesn't allow me to transfer to the security department of the steel rolling mill."

Upon hearing Jia Dongming's answer, Yu Haitang's face immediately showed a puzzled expression. Curious, she asked Jia Dongming, "Brother-in-law! What exactly do you mean by that? What kind of environment prevents you from being transferred from the steel rolling mill's security department?"

Upon hearing Yu Haitang's question, Jia Dongming, recalling the events of the past few years, smiled and asked Yu Haitang, "Haitang! If I remember correctly, you've been working for six years, haven't you? Don't you know how many people in your unit have fallen ill during these years?"

Jia Dongming paused slightly after saying this, and then said to Haitang, "Haitang! I am the head of the security department of the steel rolling mill. The entire security department is under my control. If anyone tries to cause trouble during this period, I can easily suppress them. Out of a desire to protect myself, I have chosen to keep a firm grip on the security department of the steel rolling mill."

“Your Zhang Qinghua, although just a clerk, has managed to keep himself out of the storm because of his honest nature. In your eyes, he may seem cowardly, but in my eyes, Zhang Qinghua is a man of humility and wisdom. As the saying goes, bowing one's head is not cowardice, and concealing one's wings and sharpness is a sign of foresight! After the storm passes, Zhang Qinghua may be able to soar to great heights.”
