Courtyard House: I'm surrounded by celestial beauties on either side.

As they left the restaurant, the two were still holding hands.

Fang Chengxuan asked with a smile, "What do you want to ask?"

"You and Guo Xiangming..."

"He wanted to make a move, but unfortunately he was too bad at it." Fang Chengxuan chuckled. "I trained with veterans in my younger days."

Although this person is domineering, he is very intelligent and actually not difficult to get along with.

Rong Xinrui was surprised: "You're the first person to say he's easy to get along with."

"If he really had a problem, your older brother would have stopped him long ago," Fang Chengxuan said calmly.

Rong Xinrui nodded thoughtfully.

"You just said I'm your boyfriend..." Fang Chengxuan suddenly stopped and stared into her eyes: "I'm serious."

Would you be willing to be my serious boyfriend/girlfriend?

Rong Xinrui lowered her eyes, staring at the tips of her shoes, her voice barely a whisper: "I already said yes, why ask if you're willing or not..."

"Then I should go visit your parents." Fang Chengxuan's eyes were filled with tenderness. "This is my first time dating, so if I do anything wrong, please tell me."

"Okay, I'll let my family know first." Rong Xinrui smiled sweetly.

She felt cherished like never before, and this feeling of being held in the palm of someone's hand made her feel sweet inside.

The bus slowly pulled into the station.

Rong Xinrui nudged him: "I'll come see you tomorrow!"

"Let me pick you up. What time do you get off work?"

"I get off work early, so I can come find you." She smiled brightly, and after breaking the ice, they felt more comfortable with each other.

After watching him get into the car, Rong Xinrui turned to leave, but bumped into her brother Rong Wenyao standing behind her.

"Big brother! When did you get here?"

"I've been here since Guo Xiangming made his move." Rong Wenyao watched the departing bus. "You really have your eye on him?"

Rong Xinrui blinked obediently: "You heard everything?"

"I heard you." Rong Wenyao walked beside her. "Wasn't it just a momentary impulse?"

Rong Xinrui raised her head, her gaze meeting her elder brother's, a faint smile playing on her lips: "Brother, in your eyes, am I really that easily swayed by a few words?"

"I am indeed somewhat attracted to him."

She has never lacked suitors since she was a child, so how could she not understand Fang Chengxuan's feelings?

"It was Shu Qianxue's relentless pressure that put me in a dilemma, but if it were someone else, I might not have compromised like this."

"Although that moment was brief, I thought about a lot of things."

"Big brother, I'm sure I like Fang Chengxuan, otherwise I wouldn't be worried that explaining it would make him misunderstand."

Growing up in a family where her parents were always busy, Rong Xinrui trusted her eldest brother the most.

"I feel very comfortable with him, that feeling... is just like the feeling you give me, it's..."

"The feeling of being pampered!"

Her eyes suddenly lit up as she found the perfect description.

"Yes, he's just like you, Grandpa, and Mom and Dad, always taking good care of me."

"Moreover, I can feel his respect. He will fully support me in doing whatever I truly want to do."

"Brother, maybe he's just a country boy, but marriage shouldn't be based solely on social status."

"Only when I'm with him can I feel as relaxed and comfortable as I would at home."

That's the real reason she acted impulsively today.

Rong Wenyao watched his sister's eyes light up and her sweet smile as she talked about Fang Chengxuan, and gently shook his head.

A daughter is like a tree that grows up and cannot be kept at home.

"You decide your own affairs. If you don't do well, your older brother will support you for life." Thinking of the information he had investigated, he accepted his brother-in-law.

Rong Xinrui smiled radiantly: "Thank you, brother, you're the best."

After returning home, Rong Xinrui announced to everyone: "Grandpa, Grandma, Dad, Mom, I'm in love. My boyfriend is Fang Chengxuan, the one who gave Grandpa the bait."

"oh."

"Um."

The people at the table reacted indifferently.

Rong Xinrui asked in surprise, "Don't you have anything to say?"

"Ever since you first asked him for bait, and then came back happily with bait every time, Grandma knew her granddaughter had grown up," Grandma Rong joked.

The other family members nodded in agreement.

Rong Xinrui said coquettishly, "No way!"

After dinner, the Rong family summoned Rong Wenyao to their study: "Tell me the details?"

"It seems that Fang Chengxuan is a good match for his sister."

I just don't know if he can protect her.

These words surprised the family.

"You speak highly of him." Mr. Rong raised an eyebrow.

Rong Wenyao said calmly, "We still need to observe further."

That kid is smart; as for his protective abilities, I'll test him further.

Leave this to me.

"Okay, then you'll be in charge of the quality control."

The Rong family all had a good impression of this young man who did not curry favor with the powerful and wealthy.

If Rong Xinrui hadn't taken the initiative, he probably wouldn't have even known her.

At this time, Fang Chengxuan had just returned to the courtyard house and knew nothing about what had happened to the Rong family.

Being able to be with Rong Xinrui made him overjoyed, and he couldn't hide the smile on his face.

As they passed the Intermediate People's Court, Qin Huairu, who was washing clothes, subconsciously straightened up and looked at him.

Fang Chengxuan immediately stopped smiling, and his eyes turned cold.

This Qin Huairu needs to be taught a lesson.

The next day at work, Liu Lan approached him hesitantly and said, "Manager Fang, Factory Director Li wants you to see him when you have time."

Fang Chengxuan nodded knowingly: "I understand."

"You look after the kitchen for now, I'm going to see Director Yang."

When he arrived at the factory manager's office, he saw three young men in their early twenties.

Factory Director Yang greeted them warmly: "You've come at the perfect time. These are my three nephews."

After exchanging pleasantries, Fang Chengxuan said seriously, "Director Yang, there's something that's been bothering me."

"What's wrong? Having trouble at work?"

"It's not work." Fang Chengxuan glanced at the three people.

After they left, he whispered, "Qin Huairu from the workshop seems to have her eye on me."

I'm worried she'll use the fact that you arranged a job for my nephew as an excuse to make trouble.

"Qin Huairu? That widow who replaced Jia Dongxu?" Factory Director Yang's face darkened.

"Exactly."

I don't understand why she's targeting me, so I'm guessing it's because I was promoted by you, and she's really targeting you?

"Qin Huairu and He Yuzhu from our compound are close. If it weren't for Director Yang, it would probably be because of my becoming the kitchen manager."

"Director Yang, Qin Huairu is a widow and lives in the same compound as me. If she intends to do something, it might implicate you."

"Let me introduce myself first. I'll take your three nephews to arrange their jobs later."

Fang Chengxuan pursed his lips, took a deep breath, and looked up at Director Yang with a worried expression.

"Perhaps I'm overthinking it."

"Director Yang, I'll be going now."

Fang Chengxuan set a fire at Director Yang's place, then got up and left.

He walked out the door, where Director Yang's three nephews were waiting. Seeing him come out, they cleverly stepped forward to greet him: "Manager Fang."

"Okay, come with me."

Fang Chengxuan nodded, stepped forward, and led the three of them toward Director Li's office.

Director Li's office is not far away, but he is often away from home and rarely in the factory, so major factory matters are usually handled by Director Yang.

Fang Chengxuan walked to the door of Director Li's office, knocked on the door, and then pushed it open and entered.

"Manager Fang, you're here."

Factory Director Li waved to him, his attitude seemingly gentle, yet revealing a sense of distance.

"Please wait outside for a moment."

Fang Chengxuan gave a few instructions to Director Yang's three nephews, then went into the office and saw two other people in the room. He raised an eyebrow slightly.

Factory Director Li smiled and said, "I'm sorry you had to see this. It's just some useless relatives of mine."

relative?

Is he, like Liu Lan, the younger brother of some lover?

Fang Chengxuan nodded: "Let him wait outside for a while. Director Li, I have something to say."

Factory Director Li responded, and the young man in the room immediately left.

"Director Li, let's not beat around the bush. Qin Huairu has offended me, and I hope she can get out of the steel rolling mill."

Fang Chengxuan was straightforward.

He and Director Li had already dealt with each other several times because of Liu Lan's matter, and they both knew each other very well.

"This is a difficult matter. Once a worker's job is assigned, it becomes personal property and can be bought and sold."

Factory Director Li looked troubled.

Fang Chengxuan chuckled: "It's difficult for Director Yang, but it shouldn't be difficult for Director Li."

"I believe in Director Li."

Factory Director Li stared at Fang Chengxuan for a long while before sighing, "You kid, no wonder you said you could help me; so this is what you were waiting for."

"Wouldn't that make Director Li feel more at ease with me?"

Fang Chengxuan smiled slightly.

Factory Director Li nodded: "I understand about Qin Huairu's matter. You can go now."

"Thank you, Director Li. I'll take my leave now."

Fang Chengxuan thanked him and got up to leave the office.

With Director Li's abilities, he can definitely handle Qin Huairu's matter.

Qin Huairu —

You'd better get out of the steel rolling mill!

Fang Chengxuan walked out of the office in a cheerful mood and saw four people standing outside, clearly divided into two groups.

"Let's go."

He said something casually, without introducing the four people, and led them directly away from the steel rolling mill to the state-run restaurant.

At the state-run restaurant, the six suppliers immediately stood up to greet Fang Chengxuan as he entered: "Manager Fang, please have a seat!"

"You four sit over there."

Fang Chengxuan pointed to the seat next to him, then sat down at the supplier's table and said with a smile, "Everyone's issues have been resolved, and I can give you an answer today."

"Those three over there are Director Yang's nephews, and the other one is Director Li's brother-in-law. The steel rolling mill is currently short of positions, and we've heard that you have a lot of connections. We'd like to ask if you could help us find some work?"

Several business owners glanced at the four of them, and one of them immediately spoke up: "I'm short-staffed."

"I also have a vacancy here."

"Exactly, why go anywhere else? Just come here."

Several bosses expressed their opinions.

"Manager Fang, there are only four people, not enough to go around. Do you have any other people?"

"A boss asked with a smile."

Fang Chengxuan smiled and said, "I was adopted and don't have any relatives. If the factory director hadn't promoted me, I wouldn't have taken on this troublesome task."

"How about this, let them follow the four bosses and learn some skills."

Fang Chengxuan waved, and the four of them immediately came over and stood in a row.

"The four of you will each follow one of these four bosses."

The four men immediately bowed to their respective bosses: "Hello, boss!"

"Yeah, you're new here and not familiar with things yet. I'll give you thirty yuan a month for now. Once you get the hang of it, there will be extra benefits."

"Thank you, boss!"

After the four people expressed their gratitude, they looked at Fang Chengxuan and said, "Thank you, Manager Fang."

Fang Chengxuan nodded calmly, then took out the prepared contract and handed it to the six bosses: "The contract is here. If there are no problems, please sign it."

The six people accepted the contract. Although the price was slightly lower than what they had previously supplied to the steel rolling mill, it was still within a reasonable market range.

They were prepared and quickly signed the papers.

At the dinner table, Fang Cheng claimed that he couldn't hold his liquor, ate a simple meal, and then said to the four of them, "You'll be following the boss today."

"I have something to attend to, so I'll take my leave now."

Fang Chengxuan got up to leave, and the bosses assured him, "Manager Fang, don't worry, we will take good care of them."

"With several bosses around, I naturally feel at ease."

As Fang Chengxuan walked out of the state-run hotel, several restaurant owners asked the four of them curiously, "What is your relationship with Fang Chengxuan?"

"It doesn't matter. My uncle is Director Yang of the steel rolling mill, and my brother-in-law is Director Li."

The four men introduced themselves, and the six business owners raised their eyebrows.

"Fang Chengxuan was promoted by my uncle; otherwise, he would just be an ordinary purchasing agent."

He was grateful for my uncle's appreciation and took the initiative to help us solve our employment problems.

The six people exchanged glances and made up their minds.

Director Yang's three nephews and Director Li's brother-in-law exchanged glances.

Of the six bosses, Fang Chengxuan only brought four people, and none of them were related to him.

If you say he's greedy, he wasn't tempted at all by such a good opportunity to arrange things for his own people; if you say he's not greedy, he accepted their gifts.

"Fang Chengxuan is no simple man. Right now, the relationship between those two at the steel mill is stable. As long as we don't offend this manager like we used to, the supply channels can be maintained."

"He's definitely got some skills."

Although they received benefits, they also planted four people in, which actually made their supply relationship more stable.

"If you can't manage these four people, you might as well hand them over to me!"

"Exactly, if you don't understand the situation, don't drag everyone down with you."

"Ha, you think you're so clever!"
