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

The nephew racked his brains, then suddenly his eyes lit up: "Let's go find Manager Fang! He's sure to have a solution for the problems we're struggling with."

"Now we'll bring a wedding gift to his door, saying it's to congratulate him on his marriage."

If he's willing to help, wouldn't that prove his innocence?

"Don't forget, I only got this job because of you!"

Finally, with nowhere else to turn, Director Yang arrived at the courtyard house carrying two bottles of wine.

As soon as I entered the front yard, I was surrounded by workers.

"Director Yang, what's going on?" Xu Damao asked, his face full of surprise.

"Let's see how Xiao Fang's wedding preparations are going." Factory Director Yang forced a smile.

Xu Damao exclaimed, "Didn't you fire him?"

"What nonsense are you spouting!" Factory Director Yang said sternly. "How could my specially approved wedding leave be spread like this?"

In front of the stone table in the backyard, Fang Chengxuan was discussing the wedding banquet menu with Ying and others.

Upon seeing Director Yang's visit, everyone quickly stood up.

After the others had left, the nephew spoke up: "Manager Fang, to be honest, my uncle has been threatened by Wang Xingfa."

"They falsely accused my uncle of bullying Wang Xingyi and forcing him to fire you..."

Fang Chengxuan tapped his fingertips lightly on the table, then suddenly chuckled, "Director Yang has been kind to me, so I'm determined to take care of this matter."

"Rest assured, I guarantee the Wang family will never dare to cause trouble again."

Factory Director Yang asked urgently, "How exactly do we do it?"

Fang Chengxuan lowered his eyes—was he supposed to expose such underhanded tactics to his face?

The balance between Director Yang and Director Li was broken, and the situation became tricky. He didn't want to get involved.

"Please rest assured, I, Fang Chengxuan, am not an ungrateful person. I will always remember your kindness to me."

"Three days from now, I guarantee that the Wang family will not only be unable to threaten you, but if you wish, you can even turn the tables and control them."

Fang Chengxuan remained calm and composed.

Director Yang felt a little relieved. There was no other way at the moment, so he could only give it a try.

Thinking about his misunderstandings and suspicions towards Fang Chengxuan, he couldn't help but feel guilty.

He pulled a red envelope from his pocket: "This is a wedding gift for you."

Fang Chengxuan accepted it with a smile: "Thank you, Factory Director."

After seeing the two off, he saw Guan Chi guarding the door.

"Brother Fang, you're absolutely right! Wang Xingyi and Wu Haoguang were caught red-handed, and both families are now at the law enforcement office. What should we do next?"

"Getting married is just a matter of getting a marriage certificate, why make such a fuss!"

"Go to the steel mill's residential compound tonight and tell Director Yang about this. You don't need to worry about anything else," Fang Chengxuan instructed casually.

Guan Chi readily agreed, "Okay, Brother Fang."

After returning to the courtyard, Guan Chi went home first, where several companions were waiting for him.

"Guan Chi, has Brother Fang arranged for you to get a job at the steel rolling mill?" a young man asked expectantly.

Guan Chi glanced at everyone: "It's not that easy. Yang Yuande only got a job at the factory by paying Jia Zhangshi five yuan a month."

Upon hearing this, everyone's faces betrayed their disappointment.

"So we're just going to wait here like this?" someone asked dejectedly.

Guan Chi said seriously, "Brother Fang is no ordinary person."

Since you've decided to follow him, you need to adjust your attitude.

In front of intelligent people, one's little schemes simply cannot be hidden.

As night fell, Guan Chi arrived at the steel rolling mill's residential compound.

"Director Yang, Brother Fang asked me to tell you..." He reported the Wang family's affairs in detail.

Upon hearing this, Factory Director Yang flew into a rage: "That Wang family! How dare they scheme against me!"

"Brother Fang said that to completely resolve this matter, you have to go to the Wang family in person," Guan Chi added.

"That's right, I should go and meet them!" A fierce glint flashed in Director Yang's eyes.

The next morning, two cars were parked at the entrance of the courtyard house.

Guo Xiangming and his men jumped out of the car, shouting, "Fang Chengxuan, your brothers are here to help you propose marriage!"

The courtyard suddenly became lively.

After everyone had breakfast, they loaded the "three turns and one sound" (a set of three watches, one radio, and one television) tied with red ribbons onto the car.

Fang Chengxuan distributed wedding candies along the way, nervously clutching the box containing the watch.

The convoy arrived at the Xuanfang Road compound, where firecrackers were set off in a deafening roar.

The Rong family had already made preparations. After everyone had joked around for a while, Fang Chengxuan said gently to Rong Xinrui, "I'll come to pick you up tomorrow to get our marriage certificate."

Rong Xinrui nodded, blushing.

"Good lad, you've married the prettiest girl in our compound!" Guo Xiangming's comrades teased. "We're going to get you drunk today!"

To everyone's surprise, Fang Chengxuan, who could drink a thousand cups without getting drunk, ended up getting everyone drunk.

Guo Xiangming, slurring his words, said, "Wait...wait until I get married...you just wait!"

Fang Chengxuan smiled and arranged for everyone to settle in. The neighbors in the courtyard watched this scene with different thoughts.

"Fang Chengxuan's wedding was quite a grand affair, with a three-turn-one-sound system, a television, and two cars."

Someone said sarcastically, "Who knows if Fang Chengxuan borrowed that car or if the woman's family brought it? I think he's just a spineless coward who lives off women."

The people in the courtyard were gossiping amongst themselves.

Yan Shuzhai, leaning on his cane, poked his head out and sneered, "You ill-mannered wretch! You don't even know to invite the elders in the courtyard when you hold a banquet!"

Inside the Yi family's house, Qin Huairu stared at the commotion in the courtyard, biting her lip and tugging at her clothes, saying sourly, "It's just getting a marriage certificate, who are they showing off to?"

She suddenly turned and confronted Yi Zhonghai: "I married you and didn't even get a decent set of belongings! Now that I'm pregnant with your child, you have to make up for it with a 'three turns and one sound' (referring to a set of three watches, one ring, and one watch)!"

Yi Zhonghai's face darkened: "Where am I supposed to get these things for you?"

"I don't care!"

Qin Huairu twisted her body and threw a tantrum, "If you don't have anything, give me cash instead!"

Seeing that her husband didn't respond, she suddenly clutched her stomach and cried out, "Yi Zhonghai, have you lost your conscience?"

Yi Zhonghai hurriedly helped her up, suppressing his anger as he coaxed, "Here, here, I've prepared everything for you!"

From the corner, Xu Damao cursed with a dark expression, "Fang Chengxuan, you bastard!"

"With you showing off like this, where am I going to borrow a car to marry Shu Qianxue in the future?"

He stared at the Jeep outside the yard, then suddenly grinned maliciously: "Serves you right for showing off. We'll see how you pay for that tire tomorrow!"

late at night.

A dark figure crouched low and slipped to the jeep. Just as the cleaver touched the tire, a loud shout erupted from the wall: "Xu Damao, you're asking for death! You dare touch a **?"

"It wasn't me!"

Xu Damao shuddered in fright.

Leng Si rushed out and unleashed a flurry of punches and kicks: "Brother Fang was right, there really were scumbags causing trouble!"

Xu Damao covered his head and begged for mercy, "I was wrong! I'll never do it again!"

"Consider yourself lucky!"

Leng Si kicked him away, "If Brother Fang were guarding this place, you'd be hanging out with He Yuzhu by now!"

The next morning.

After Fang Chengxuan and Rong Xinrui got their marriage certificate, they returned to the hospital and held a simple wedding banquet.

After the guests had all left, he gently stroked his wife's flushed cheeks and said, "I'm sorry you had to go through all this trouble; the wedding was too simple."

"It's enough to have the intention."

Rong Xinrui lowered her head and twisted the hem of her clothes.

As the red candles flickered, the two figures gradually overlapped.

As dawn broke, Fang Chengxuan gazed at his sleeping wife in his arms and quietly got up.

Aunt Chen had already prepared everything: "Breakfast is warming on the stove. Shall we eat it inside or...?"

"Serve me some first."

He patted his sister's head and said, "Sister-in-law is tired. Be good, Lianyun, play by yourself for a while."

Arriving at Bali Shun Hutong carrying the gift box, Ran Xiaohua frowned as soon as she opened the door: "Why are you here now that everything's settled?"

"Thank you, Sister Xie Ran, for saving me."

Fang Chengxuan pushed his younger sister forward, "Call her aunt."

The little girl called out crisply, and Ran Xiaohua's expression softened slightly: "You want your child to get into the affiliated primary school?"

"Sister Ran, you are wise."

Fang Chengxuan laughed and said, "Although Lianyun is young, she can already recite the Thousand Character Classic."

Ran Xiaohua handed over the teacup, then suddenly lowered her voice: "You've caused such a huge mess, aren't you afraid of those desperados...?"

Fang Chengxuan smiled slightly: "Sister Ran has always been intelligent, so she would never do anything foolish. I have great confidence in Sister Ran."

"Facts have proven that Sister Ran is indeed trustworthy and a person worth befriending."

Ran Xiaohua glanced at Fang Lianyun, whose wariness of Fang Chengxuan lessened somewhat, and calmly said, "Bring this child to school to see me on September 1st."

"Thank you very much, Sister Ran. If you need any help in the future, please don't hesitate to ask," Fang Chengxuan replied with a smile.

Ran Xiaohua glanced at him, did not refuse, and nodded slightly.

Just then, a rhythmic knocking came from the courtyard gate.

Fang Chengxuan remained calm and leisurely sipped his tea.

Ran Xiaohua felt that he seemed to have already anticipated who was outside the door.

She got up and opened the door, and a tall, refined-looking middle-aged man in his early forties walked in.

"De Shuang, this is Fang Chengxuan, whom I often mention," Ran Xiaohua introduced, linking arms with Li De Shuang.

"Fang Chengxuan, I don't need to introduce him, right?"

Fang Chengxuan and Li Deshuang nodded in greeting, calmly meeting the scrutinizing gaze of the other party, their expressions composed and neither humble nor arrogant.

After Li Deshuang sat down, his gaze suddenly sharpened, and he said with a half-smile, "Fang Chengxuan, you have quite the nerve."

Knowing my secret, aren't you afraid I'll silence you? You're just an outsider in Beijing; no one will care if you die."

Fang Chengxuan's eyelashes fluttered slightly, and a faint smile appeared on his lips: "If I die, it will be like smashing a rough porcelain bowl."

But if something happens to some people, it's like a priceless treasure being shattered.

Li Deshuang's pupils contracted, his face darkened, and his aura suddenly became fierce.

Fang Chengxuan, however, seemed oblivious. Holding the trembling Fang Lianyun, he said gently, "Even a nobody like me gets trouble in this courtyard. I wonder how many enemies those big shots have hoping for their downfall?"

"Does my brother-in-law think it's better to make more friends or more mortal enemies?"

Their eyes met, and the air seemed to hold the glint of swords.

Feeling his younger sister trembling in his arms, Fang Chengxuan was the first to restrain his imposing manner and said softly, "Brother-in-law, you scared my sister."

Li Deshuang glanced at Fang Lianyun and snorted coldly, "You've got some nerve."

"I've investigated your background. If I hadn't confirmed it, I would have suspected that you were planted here by someone."

"There are always some hermits in the world. If you don't provoke them, you'll live in peace." Fang Chengxuan stuffed a piece of milk candy into his sister's mouth and patted her head reassuringly.

"Do you know how to play chess? How about a game?" Li Deshuang suddenly suggested.

"I know a little bit," Fang Chengxuan replied calmly.

In the game, Fang Chengxuan's white pieces appeared gentle, but in reality, they concealed a sharp edge.

Li Deshuang's black pieces were menacing, but were countered at the crucial moment.

"What a brilliant move to overcome strength with softness," Li Deshuang sighed, staring at the chessboard.

As he was leaving, Li Deshuang suddenly asked, "What brings you to see your cousin today?"

"My younger sister is about to start school, and I'd like to ask Sister Ran for help getting her into the Peking University Affiliated Primary School," Fang Chengxuan replied.

After leaving the courtyard, Fang Chengxuan carried his younger sister home and ran into an acquaintance on the way.

"Manager Fang, Factory Director Li sent me to deliver a wedding gift." The visitor said solicitously, "The factory director said that if I can advance further, he will never forget your help."

Fang Chengxuan smiled calmly: "I'm just a cook, how could I possibly be worthy of any favorable wind?"

A hint of surprise flashed in the visitor's eyes, but seeing that Fang Chengxuan remained calm and composed, he could only awkwardly take his leave.

"I understand what Manager Fang means. I'll take my leave now."

"If you have time, could you please ask your boss if he would be willing to bring one more person?"

If it's convenient, I'll have that person report for duty another day.

Fang Chengxuan had already planned to send Guan Chi to the supplier to learn, and this was a good opportunity to deliver a message.

Given the shrewdness of the other party's boss, he would naturally understand his intentions.

The man paused for a moment, then forced a smile: "Okay, I'll definitely pass it on."

Watching Fang Chengxuan carry Fang Lianyun in one arm and gifts in the other as he walked into the courtyard, the man frowned, filled with doubt.

"What does Fang Chengxuan mean by this?"

He wondered to himself, "Is it because they're dissatisfied with Factory Director Li, or are they targeting me? Are they deliberately planting someone near the boss to warn me?"

Unable to understand the reason, he left with a gloomy face.

The backyard of a traditional courtyard house.

When Fang Chengxuan returned, Rong Xinrui had already woken up and was chatting with the deaf old lady in the courtyard.

"Chengxuan, you're back."

Rong Xinrui smiled brightly as soon as she saw him and quickly stepped forward to take the things from his hands.

"Where did you go?"

"Lianyun is five years old and it's time for her to go to school."

I contacted the Peking University Affiliated Primary School, and everything is arranged. I'll report directly on September 1st.
