Courtyard House: A Prosperous and Joyful Life

Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li returned to the courtyard house, and Yu Li began to pack her things.

The blankets and similar items had been used for over ten years; they were worn and old, and as hard as rocks in winter, so Yu Li didn't plan to keep them. She was packing her own clothes and some small items like cosmetics.

When Aunt San returned from selling melon seeds, she saw Yu Li packing her things and sensed something was wrong. She quickly said, "Yu Li, it's the middle of the day, and you're packing up all your clothes. Are you going back to your parents' house?"

Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li divorced very quickly; Yan Bugui and Aunt San are still unaware of it.

Yu Li knew in her heart that divorce was something that needed to be discussed clearly.

Yu Li said, "Yan Jiecheng and I are divorced. I'm taking my things now and I'm not coming back."

When Aunt San heard this, it was as if she had been struck by lightning; she was completely stunned. She never expected that her son and Yu Li would divorce.

Aunt San was so anxious she jumped up and down, saying, "You two have always been fine, why do you want a divorce? What's going on?"

Divorce is a huge deal. Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li did it without saying a word, which infuriated Aunt San.

Yu Li said, "Yan Jiecheng and I had no feelings for each other anymore, and we didn't have any children, so we got divorced. You should ask Yan Jiecheng for details."

Aunt San listened in silence. She was well aware of her son's problem. It seemed that a marriage without children was destined to fail.

Yu Li packed her clothes and other belongings into two large bags, then hailed a tricycle to transport them back to the hot pot restaurant. She hadn't found a place to stay yet, so she had to stay at the restaurant temporarily. Fortunately, there was a small cubicle inside, which was fine for sleeping.

After Yu Li left, Yan Bugui and Aunt San called Yan Jiecheng over.

Yan Bugui glared at his son and said, "Why didn't you tell us about such a big thing as divorce? This is too hasty! It's simply ridiculous!"

Aunt San nodded repeatedly and said, "You'll regret this later!"

In Aunt San's eyes, Yu Li was a wonderful woman—beautiful, capable, and of impeccable character. The fact that Yan Jiecheng divorced such a good woman left Aunt San speechless.

Now that Yan Jiecheng had money, he became bolder and said, "Dad, Mom, I won't regret it. I've had enough of Yu Li's mistreatment for the past ten years. I feel so relieved to be divorced. Now that I have money, I'm planning to open a hot pot restaurant. Soon I'll be my own boss, so you don't need to worry about me."

Yan Bugui and Aunt San were even more worried after hearing this. They knew their son very well; he was simply not cut out to be a boss.

Yan Bugui then said, "Jiecheng, you really need to be careful about opening a hot pot restaurant. I don't think you're cut out to be a boss. If you throw your money in, you might lose everything."

Yan Jiecheng was indignant and said, "Dad, you're looking down on me. I've learned a lot lately, and opening my own hot pot restaurant is no problem at all. Just you wait and see."

Yan Bugui said a few words, but seeing that Yan Jiecheng didn't want to listen, he stopped talking. Anyway, he didn't expect his son to support him in his old age, so why bother saying so much?

Although no one mentioned that Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li had left, the people in the courtyard had already guessed it when they saw Yu Li packing her things and leaving.

"Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li have divorced!"

"I never imagined that Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li would get divorced."

"That Yan Jiecheng, Yu Li is so beautiful, how could he get a divorce? What was he thinking?"

"yes."

"I think couples without children will eventually divorce. If a couple doesn't have children, it definitely means there's a problem."

"That makes sense."

"Between Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li, whose fault is it?"

"I don't know about that. Personally, I think Yu Li has a large bottom, so she should be easy to bear children with. The person with problems is probably Yan Jiecheng."

"I think so too. Yu Li's field is quite fertile, but the crops haven't sprouted yet, which is clearly a problem with the seeds. It's definitely Yan Jiecheng's fault."

In the house in the front yard, Yan Jiecheng listened to the discussion, his face darkening.

These middle-aged women gossip so much that they have absolutely no sense of decency; the things they say make him so frustrated he could vomit blood.

However, Yan Jiecheng had to admit that these old women had a pretty good eye; they actually figured out that it was his problem.

"Looks like I need to go to the hospital to get my health checked out before opening a hot pot restaurant. I didn't have the money before, so I was afraid to go. Now that I have the money, I have to take care of my health so these old women won't have anything to say!"

Yan Jiecheng made up his mind to go to the most famous hospital in the capital to get his health checked out.

……

Wang Jun also heard the news of Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li's divorce, but he was not surprised.

Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li are a couple. Yan Jiecheng is not very capable and has a weak personality, always acting according to Yu Li's wishes. Yu Li, on the other hand, is the complete opposite, so it's no wonder they're inseparable.

These days, everyone makes a little money, and if things don't work out, they get divorced; that's normal. In the courtyard house, Xu Damao and Qin Jingru also divorced, they just didn't announce it.

Wang Jun wasn't interested in other people's divorces and continued reading the letter.

Wang Jun's Huanyu Garment Factory and Huanyu Cannery are doing increasingly well, keeping Lü Guangrong and You Fengxia extremely busy. During this time, Wang Jun has been constantly reading letters, hoping to find suitable management talent from them.

In addition, Wang Jun also plans to open a cosmetics factory to produce skin care products, which will also require management talent.

Wang Jun has already identified several talented individuals and sent them letters, but he doesn't know when those letters will arrive.

Five days have passed in the blink of an eye.

Wang Jun had just gotten up when Huaihua came over, looking delighted.

Wang Jun glanced at the girl and said, "Huaihua, you look so happy. What's making you so happy? Tell me."

Huaihua said with a grin, "Brother Jun, the two bottles of skincare toner you gave me are amazing! I've used them for a few days, and my skin feels so much better, look!"

As she spoke, Huaihua came closer and showed Wang Jun her skin.

Wang Jun took a look and it was true; Huaihua's skin tone looked much better, and her overall appearance had improved.

The effect is quite amazing, even better than SK-II Facial Treatment Essence.

However, Wang Jun knew that he needed to use this skincare toner consistently to maintain his skin tone. Otherwise, after a while, his skin tone would revert to its original state.

Wang Jun looked at it for a while, then smiled and said, "Not bad, not bad. You look much prettier after using this skincare lotion."

The locust flower was so happy to hear the praise that it almost jumped for joy.

Huaihua said, "Brother Jun, where did you buy this skincare toner? I want to buy two bottles to continue using it after I finish this one."

Normally, Huaihua is not very willing to spend money, but in order to make herself more beautiful, she became generous and prepared to spend money on skin care water.

Wang Jun said, "This skincare toner is something I made myself; you can't buy it right now. However, I'll be opening a factory soon specifically to produce this skincare toner."

Upon hearing this, Huaihua exclaimed in amazement, "Such a magical skincare toner! Brother Jun, you're amazing! You're so knowledgeable!"

At that moment, Huaihua felt that she had to become Jun Ge's woman so that she could use this magical skin care water.

Wang Jun chatted with Huaihua for a few moments, checked the time, and said, "I have good news for you. The courtyard house next to the cannery is finished. Let's go take a look now."

"Is the renovation complete?"

"Very good!"

Let's set off right away!

Upon hearing this, Huaihua immediately became excited and urged Wang Jun to set off.

Soon, the two arrived outside a courtyard house. Huaihua already had the key, so she ran over, took out the key, opened the courtyard house gate, and her eyes lit up.

The walls had been freshly painted white, and the doors and windows had been replaced, looking brand new. The courtyard was paved with tiles and looked spotless, without a speck of dust. In the middle of the courtyard was a stone table and several stone benches. In front of the main house, two crabapple trees had sprouted tender leaves, looking very lush and green.

A courtyard house cannot be without trees, because a courtyard house is like the Chinese character for "mouth" (口), and if you add a person inside, it becomes the character for "prisoner" (囚); but you can't just plant one tree, because that would become the character for "trapped" (困).

Therefore, there is a reason for planting only two crabapple trees.

Huaihua walked into the courtyard and was delighted to see the ground. Such a clean and tidy ground was so much more comfortable to live on. In contrast, the ground in the old courtyard houses was full of potholes and became filthy after a rain.

Wang Jun said, "This courtyard house originally had three main rooms and two side rooms, making a total of five rooms. However, during the renovation, I converted the three main rooms into two separate rooms, each with its own bathroom and kitchen."

With that, Wang Jun pushed open the door and went inside. Huaihua followed him in, glanced inside, and was completely stunned.

The apartment is decorated in a typical modern style. Upon entering, you'll see a huge 20-inch TV, an oversized sofa with several cushions, and a large teddy bear. Above, a large chandelier casts a soft glow, making the entire room bright and comfortable.

"It's so beautiful."

"Just like the villas on TV."

Huaihua looked around, completely stunned. She was filled with surprise and excitement, and couldn't wait to jump onto the sofa.

Wang Jun led her to the bathroom, which had light blue floor tiles and looked very refreshing.

Wang Jun said, "We already have running water and gas installed here, as well as a large bathtub, so you can take a shower anytime. There's also a washing machine where you can wash your clothes."

Wang Jun said, "We already have running water and gas installed here, as well as a large bathtub, so you can take a shower anytime. There's also a washing machine where you can wash your clothes."

"Very good."

"That's so thoughtful."

"This bathtub is huge!"

Looking at the large bathtub, Huaihua felt a sense of anticipation, imagining herself and Jun-ge inside it...

Looking at the bathtub, images instantly flashed through Huaihua's mind, and her face turned red.

The kitchen wasn't very interesting, so Wang Jun led Huaihua into the bedroom. The bedroom was carpeted, making it feel much warmer. The modern, large bed in the center immediately caught Huaihua's eye. Having grown accustomed to old-fashioned wooden beds, this modern bed was very appealing.

Huaihua went up and pressed it, discovering that the mattress on the large bed was incredibly soft and comfortable. The brand-new quilt was clearly made of high-quality cotton; it would definitely be comfortable to sleep under.

Inside the bedroom, there was a wardrobe, a dressing table, and a large chandelier overhead, emitting a bright light that made the room feel warm and cozy.

Standing inside, looking at the large chandelier overhead, Huaihua felt as if she were dreaming.

Wang Jun said, "How is it? Do you like it?"

Huaihua nodded repeatedly; she loved it here.

Wang Jun said, "If you like it, you can live in this house. Find some time to move your belongings over."

Huaihua's heart pounded when she heard this. Such a nice house, and Brother Jun just let her stay there; he treated her like one of his own.

I just don't know when Brother Jun will take her.

After a while, Huaihua calmed down and said, "Brother Jun, I don't have much to take. Tonight, I'll just take my clothes, shoes, and a few small items. I don't need anything else."

Wang Jun nodded and said, "You handle it."

Wang Jun gave a few instructions and then prepared to leave.

Yesterday, the first batch of clothes went on sale in the United States and was very popular, even making it into foreign newspapers. This news reached China, and then television reporters visited the Huanyu Garment Factory, attracting widespread attention.

At this moment, Huaihua tugged at Wang Jun, her face flushed, and whispered, "Brother Jun, let's stay here for a while."

Lately, for some reason, there's been a lot of noise coming from Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu's side. The courtyard house isn't very soundproof, so Huaihua can't help but overhear. After listening to it so much, Huaihua became curious and started to get bolder.

Wang Jun understood the implications of the locust flowers. However, touching them now would easily attract Qin Huairu's attention. Therefore, he needed to wait.

Soon, Lou Xiao'e will return from the port city with her son. At that time, Qin Huairu's house will definitely be in chaos. This is the real opportunity.

Wang Jun patted Huaihua's head and said, "It's not the right time yet, let's do it another day."

Huaihua blushed and nodded. Although she was a little disappointed, she was still very happy.

Wang Jun then said, "Huaihua, you don't need to go to work today. Go buy some groceries yourself. I have to go now."

When Wang Jun arrived at Huanyu Garment Factory, everyone in the factory was beaming with joy.

"Have you heard? The clothes produced by our garment factory are very popular in the United States; they've even been featured in foreign newspapers!"

"I heard! The TV station is even coming to interview them."

"This is wonderful news! We never imagined our garment factory's products would be so popular."

"Our clothes are so fashionable and beautiful that it's normal for them to be popular with foreigners."

"I hope our garment factory gets better and better, so that our wages can also increase."

"Our current wages are already high enough. Many people ask me when the garment factory will start hiring; they all want to work there."

"Yes, when I got home, all the relatives I didn't know before suddenly appeared, asking around, all wanting to get a job at the garment factory."

"Working in a garment factory is much more prestigious than working in a state-owned factory. I've heard that girls from the No. 2 Garment Factory in Beijing all want to come here."

"My God, the Beijing No. 2 Garment Factory! That's a guaranteed job! Why would they want to come here?"

"Our wages are high! One month's salary here is equivalent to four months' salary for them. Besides, our garment factory has prestige, so who wouldn't want to come?"

"yes."

In the boss's office at Huanyu Garment Factory, Lu Guangrong was beaming with joy.

Lu Guangrong said, "I just made a phone call to several foreign businessmen, and they said that clothes and canned goods are extremely popular. The clothes we produce are snapped up by women as soon as they arrive; I heard some women almost fought over a single piece of clothing."

"Our canned goods are also very popular. These foreigners who have tried them all think they are the most delicious canned goods ever, and they are very satisfied."

"Now, these foreign businessmen have placed orders and are continuing to purchase."

Meanwhile, the cannery also received a bunch of orders, totaling over 1800 million US dollars, more than the garment factory!

As a result, the order amount for Huanyu Garment Factory and Huanyu Cannery exceeded 3000 million US dollars.

Wang Jun was astonished when he saw the data, saying, "Foreigners really do have money. They just placed an order for 30 million in one go."

At this moment, Lü Guangrong's eyes gleamed with excitement. He said, "Boss, our products are incredibly popular! These foreigners are all scrambling to buy them. Right now, there are several large trucks parked outside the factory. As soon as the clothes and canned goods are produced, they're immediately shipped out. The finance department is overwhelmed with cash!"

"However, the output of our two factories is still too low. The garment factory is currently operating on two shifts, producing 4500 garments a day, but that's still far from enough. The cannery produces 350 tons of canned goods daily, but that's still too low, and customers are dissatisfied."

Wang Jun listened to the report and felt helpless. The garment factory currently only had one medium-sized production line, which was far too small, making it extremely difficult to increase production. The cannery was facing a similar problem.

There's only one way to increase production: expand the scale and hire more workers. However, this will take time.

This was a very troublesome task, and Wang Jun had no interest in doing it, so he left it to Lü Guangrong. Lü Guangrong earned 2,580 yuan a month, and with such a high salary, he was bound to do more work.

Wang Jun said, "Now, we need to purchase production lines to expand our scale. Director Lü, I'm leaving this matter to you."

Lu Guangrong was very happy to do so. Seeing the factory making money continuously, he felt a great sense of accomplishment while working.

Lu Guangrong said loudly, "Don't worry, boss, I'll immediately go and buy production lines to expand our scale. I plan to buy two garment production lines and two canning production lines. Then our output will double, and we can earn several million yuan a day!"

Earning millions a day was unthinkable before. But now both factories are thriving, and with expansion, earning millions a day is not impossible.

Seeing Lü Guangrong's high spirits, Wang Jun felt a surge of joy. A good subordinate is one who's so eager to make money.

Wang Jun patted Lü Guangrong on the shoulder and said, "Okay, I believe in you. Keep up the good work, and I'll give you a big bonus at the end of the year."
