"Do you know that this television set is worth several hundred yuan!"
"It cost almost two months' salary for me to buy this thing!"
"Hehehe!"
Zhang Damei said with a smile, "No matter what, this is Kai Xuan's heartfelt gesture towards you!"
"Back then, you were his teacher, and he even got married with our help!"
"Now that Kai Xuan has made a fortune, it's not too much for us to benefit a little, is it?"
"Alas, I really don't know what to say to you!"
Liu Dakui glared at Zhang Damei and said, "You can't be so greedy for small gains in the future!"
"Xiao Long and Qian Qian are doing quite well under Kai Xuan!"
"If you do this, it might affect their future, do you understand?"
"I understand!"
Zhang Damei pouted and replied, "From now on, I won't be greedy for these small gains, alright?"
"You old man, nagging all day long, you're really troublesome!"
Liu Dakui knew that Zhang Damei was all talk and no real malice.
He just nodded and didn't linger on the matter.
...
An hour later, Liu Dakui and Zhang Damei, the couple, left in satisfaction.
Liu Yuqian immediately found Liu Kai Xuan. The events of today made her feel quite embarrassed.
"Kai Xuan..."
"My mother likes to take advantage of small gains, please don't take it to heart!"
"The money for that television set, please deduct it from my salary next month. We can't let the company lose money for nothing!"
"Hehe..."
Liu Kai Xuan said with a faint smile, "Alright, Liu Yuqian!"
"I'm already very happy that you have this intention now!"
"As for the television set, you don't need to worry about it!"
"Actually, it doesn't cost much to buy this thing from abroad. I can afford to give this little thing!"
"Moreover, Master also had the grace of teaching me back then. Giving him this little thing is also a bit of my filial piety!"
Liu Kai Xuan's words at this moment made Liu Yuqian couldn't help but grin.
The words "grace of teaching" were spoken by Zhang Damei.
In reality, Liu Kai Xuan's achievements had long surpassed Liu Dakui.
With Liu Dakui's skill, he couldn't teach Liu Kai Xuan much.
Furthermore, Liu Kai Xuan had already resigned from Hong Xing Steel Rolling Mill and completely left the mechanical engineering industry.
Topics like master-disciple affection and the grace of teaching were all empty words for Liu Kai Xuan now.
Giving such valuable items to the Liu Dakui couple could only be said to show Liu Kai Xuan's loyalty.
...
After more than ten days of investigation and trial regarding the collusion between Bang Geng and Yi Zhonghai to extort Liu Kai Xuan,
The court finally gave its verdict after half a month.
Bang Geng, due to his confession, received some leniency and was sentenced to six months in prison!
Yi Zhonghai, as the mastermind of this incident, had a more serious case and was sentenced to one year in prison.
During this period, Liu Kai Xuan's family had already moved out of the courtyard.
The new home was spacious, elegant, and comfortable, a very nice place.
The only inconvenience was that it was a bit far from the children's school.
Liu Xin Xue and Liu Xin Hu, the two little ones, had to walk a long distance to school every day.
According to Liu Kai Xuan's wishes, he wanted to transfer the two children to a different school.
However, even if they transferred schools, they had to finish the current semester's courses first.
Transferring schools in the middle of a semester would have an adverse effect on their studies.
Therefore, when they moved, Liu Kai Xuan only took some clothes from home.
Most of the furniture and other daily necessities were left behind.
This way, when Liu Kai Xuan and his wife were too busy with work,
They could also temporarily return to the old house to live for a period of time. The distance to the school was closer, and they would have more time.
The courtyard, Sha Zhu's house.
Last time, after Sha Zhu personally cooked a meal for Liu Kai Xuan's family, Zhao Feiyan rehired Sha Zhu.
However, Sha Zhu no longer worked at Feiyan Restaurant but was assigned to Feiyu Restaurant.
Before, when Sha Zhu worked at Feiyan Restaurant, he was the head chef.
But now, after moving to Feiyu Restaurant, he was demoted to an ordinary cook.
Although Zhao Feiyan generously maintained his original salary and benefits,
The significant drop in his status made Sha Zhu feel very unhappy.
Not only Sha Zhu was unhappy, but Qin Jingru was also unhappy.
One evening, Qin Jingru's complaints began again.
"Sha Zhu, you've been working at Zhao Feiyan's restaurant for so many days, and you still haven't been promoted!"
"What is Zhao Feiyan thinking?"
"How should I know what she's thinking?"
Sha Zhu grinned and replied, "Alright, Jingru, stop complaining!"
"Actually, I'm quite satisfied with this job now!"
"Let's stabilize for a while and then talk about it!"
"Satisfied, my foot!"
Qin Jingru said angrily, "If you were truly content, would you have a black face all day long?"
"Uh, this..."
Being spoken to like that by Qin Jingru, Sha Zhu was momentarily speechless.
"What else can I do?"
Sha Zhu replied with a bitter smile, "Zhao Feiyan is the big boss now, why would she bother with trivial matters with a nobody like me?"
"I don't even have a chance to see her every day, alas..."
Actually, according to the original plan of Sha Zhu and Qin Jingru,
They wanted to use their neighborly relationship to get Liu Kai Xuan and his wife to help them out.
Unfortunately, Liu Kai Xuan's family had already moved away.
Sha Zhu and his wife hadn't seen Liu Kai Xuan and his wife in the courtyard for a long time.
Sha Zhu was eagerly awaiting a promotion and raise from Zhao Feiyan, but now he couldn't even see her, which was simply a joke.
"No, I must go to the villa tomorrow and have a good talk with Zhao Feiyan!"
Qin Jingru said indignantly, "No matter what, you must be reinstated and continue to be the head chef!"
"Stop, stop!"
Sha Zhu repeatedly shook his head and waved his hands, "Qin Jingru, please calm down!"
"My current job, although not particularly satisfactory, at least has a good salary!"
"If you go and make trouble with Zhao Feiyan now and anger her, I could lose my job and become a beggar in minutes!"
"Sha Zhu, you..."
Qin Jingru's lips curled slightly, and she wanted to say something more.
But after a long period of rummaging in her throat, she was ultimately unable to utter the words.
