The walls in the courtyard are thin, so the sound insulation is not good to begin with.

After practicing various martial arts, Chen Jianming's hearing became far superior to before, allowing him to hear everything happening in the front yard clearly, which made him secretly delighted.

"One, two, three, and it's already stopped? Haha, that's a bit fast indeed. If Western medicine doesn't work, then we'll have to try traditional Chinese medicine."

No wonder Zhang Lu is usually so restless!

It's not fair to blame her for being so sensual. In her thirties, she was at the peak of her sexual desires, and Liu the carpenter was so weak that he couldn't satisfy her at all. Living a life of widowhood year after year would be unbearable for anyone.

After a while, the commotion in the front yard gradually subsided and became completely quiet, and he regained his composure.

Lying in bed, he entered the space with his consciousness, waiting for items to fall from the crack. Ever since the last time a special pork order fell, he had been looking forward to the next one.

That special pork order also brought him a lot of confusion.

How does that thing directly notify people to deliver pork? Could it be that the spatial dimension can directly affect reality?

If that's true, it's absolutely incredible.

After waiting for a while, a movement finally came from the crack. Just like last time, another piece of paper floated down!

Again?

Chen Jianming's eyes lit up. Last time, a pork order could affect reality. What could it be this time?

He stepped forward, reached out and caught it, and after examining it closely, he was instantly stunned, his eyes burning with desire.

This is actually a state-owned enterprise work permit!

The paper looked very neat, with a large, eye-catching red stamp at the bottom.

However, unlike last time, the job title field is empty and has not been filled in.

"Does this mean I can just fill in anything?"

Chen Jianming pondered to himself, having received the pork order last time, he was now a little unsure.

If it's true, then it's come at just the right time!

Since returning to the city, I've been idle with nothing to do. Even though I don't have to worry about money, I'm still unemployed.

Staying cooped up at home all the time isn't a good thing, and now the young wives in the neighborhood have their eyes on him.

Moreover, before the real reform and opening up, there will be a crackdown, specifically targeting social drifters and idle people, because they can't do without a job.

This work pass is a godsend!

"What should I fill in? Railway train attendant? Train police officer? Or a purchasing agent for a supply and marketing cooperative?"

Several job positions came to mind.

Forget about the train police officer; he was the first one to reject the idea.

If you really want to be a train police officer, you don't need a work permit at all. When he was catching pickpockets on the train back to the city, the old train police officer kept urging him to stay.

Railway train attendants and police officers are not much different; they have to accompany trains for long periods of time, which is tiring and exhausting. They are away for a long time at a time and don't even know if their wives are stolen.

The purchasing staff at the supply and marketing cooperative are quite good.

"Bang bang bang—"

Just as I was hesitating, there was a sudden, loud knocking on the door.

"Who is it? So late at night?"

He raised an eyebrow, somewhat suspicious.

Could it be that Zhang Lu, that woman, couldn't stand the loneliness again and wanted to pounce on him? He heard it very clearly just now; Liu the carpenter only lasted for a dozen seconds at most!

They couldn't even last a minute!

"Bang bang—"

No one answered from outside, but the banging on the door grew louder and louder.

He had no choice but to open the door, only to find the drunken carpenter Liu standing angrily in front of it.

He frowned, somewhat surprised. "Brother Liu, what's the matter so late at night?"

"Let's go inside and talk."

With a gloomy face, Liu the carpenter walked into the house and closed the door behind him.

What are they trying to do?

Chen Jianming was a little confused, thinking that he had no connection with the other party.

Carpenter Liu glared at her, looking very angry, and said in a furious voice, "I know about what happened between you and my wife. You have to give me an explanation!"

"What do you mean? What could possibly be going on between me and Sister Zhang?"

Chen Jianming was speechless.

He hadn't done anything; at most, he had listened to the young woman's troubles, but that wasn't something he had done voluntarily.

Even at the last moment, he held his nerve and refused Zhang Lu.

He felt more wronged than Dou E, and if he had known it would turn out this way, he would have preferred to do something real.

"Brother Liu, is there some misunderstanding?"

"Stop pretending, I know everything. Just tell me what you're going to do!"

Carpenter Liu spoke with a lisp, his voice booming as if he wanted the whole world to know.

Chen Jianming frowned. Were they trying to extort him? Were these two playing a trick on him?

If flirting doesn't work, is he resorting to force now?

Seeing that Liu the carpenter was getting a little tipsy and wanted to shout something, he asked directly, "What do you want?"

Judging from their attitude, they clearly have ulterior motives; otherwise, they probably would have already taken action.

Of course, he's not afraid of a real fight. He could take on ten carpenters like Liu without any problem.

Since they lived in the same courtyard, he didn't want things to get too tense.

Carpenter Liu, who had drunk quite a bit and was swaying unsteadily, finally explained his purpose: "You touched my wife, so you have to give me some compensation and help me find a good job! Otherwise, this isn't over!"

Did this guy arrive right on time?

Chen Jianming was speechless. Why were these two like this? They always talked about working. Did they really think he was a capitalist?

However, upon closer reflection, given his current wealth, calling him a capitalist wouldn't be an exaggeration.

But capitalists aren't obligated to help them find jobs!

He glanced at the other person and said, "Brother Liu, there's been a misunderstanding. You're drunk. Let's talk about it another day."

The police have been cracking down hard lately, and he doesn't want to get into any major conflicts with them unless there's something wrong.

In the past, I would have kicked him out long ago! Does he really think he's easy to bully?

"Another day? What? I'm telling you, you have to give me an explanation today! Otherwise, I'm not leaving!"

Carpenter Liu got more and more excited as he talked, and finally pulled over a chair and plopped down on it.

Chen Jianming's eyes turned slightly cold. This guy doesn't know what's good for him!

Just as the two were at an impasse, the door was pushed open again, and Zhang Lu stormed in, wearing a coat on.

Upon getting closer, she grabbed Liu the carpenter by the ear: "You think you're so great just because you've had a few drinks? What are you doing causing trouble at Xiao Chen's house? Aren't you ashamed? Get your ass back home right now!"

"Ouch, ouch, honey, it hurts!"

Liu the carpenter was a big, strong man, but when he saw Zhang Lu, he was like a mouse seeing a cat, not daring to utter a sound or resist at all.

Zhang Lu glared at Liu the carpenter, then turned to Chen Jianming awkwardly: "Little Chen, I'm really sorry to have troubled you. Your brother Liu had too much to drink, please don't take it to heart."

"It's alright, Sister Zhang, you take him back." Chen Jianming waved his hand.

If Zhang Lu hadn't arrived in time, he would have already been kicked out by the other party.

"Sorry to bother you, you should get some rest!"

Zhang Lu grabbed Liu the carpenter by the ear and dragged him away like a dead pig.

Watching the couple leave, Chen Jianming was speechless with frustration.

What kind of nonsense is this!

I didn't do anything, but I'm being blamed!

It's true that he just got a work permit, but he has no intention of letting anyone else use it.

He himself hasn't found a job yet!

Besides, jobs are so hard to find these days. If this really starts, won't everyone in the neighborhood be sending their wives to their own homes?

"Hmm! But if that's the case, it doesn't seem so bad!"
