"Hurry up, hurry up, Qin Huairu, you are truly shameless!"
Zhao Feiyan had finally lost her patience.
She strode forward, grabbed Qin Huairu's arm, and forcibly dragged her out of the room.
Qin Huairu was still hoping that Liu Kai Xuan and his wife would give Bang Geng an opportunity. What a pipe dream.
What kind of person was that Bang Geng?
At such a young age, he had already been to jail three times. Moreover, the boy had sticky fingers, known throughout the courtyard as the "Thief Saint."
If such a person were recruited into one's own company,
it would likely be brought down in a matter of days.
Unless Liu Kai Xuan and his wife were out of their minds,
they would absolutely not make such a rookie mistake.
"So annoying!"
Although Qin Huairu had been kicked out, Zhao Feiyan's indignation could not be calmed for a long time.
"If I had known this peculiar family was in the courtyard, I wouldn't have come back today. What bad luck!"
"Alright, alright!"
Liu Kai Xuan waved his hand, signaling: "It's not that big of a deal!"
"We don't fancy Bang Geng, so we just won't hire him!"
"We'll rest here tonight and leave tomorrow morning!"
With Liu Kai Xuan himself at home, Zhao Feiyan wasn't worried about Bang Geng causing trouble.
However, the grudges between the two families had accumulated too deeply.
Now, seeing Qin Huairu and Bang Geng made Zhao Feiyan feel extremely upset.
Qin Huairu's plan failed, and she secretly shed tears after returning home.
"Mom, I told you long ago that our family has a deep-seated feud with that Liu Kai Xuan kid. Why are you still trying to curry favor with them?"
"Don't worry, when I start my own business in the future, I'll definitely make a lot of money!"
"When I have money, I'll let you live in a spacious house and eat delicacies every day!"
"Sigh!"
Qin Huairu couldn't feel optimistic at all at this moment.
"Alright, Bang Geng, I know you mean well!"
"But Mom doesn't have the capital to help you start a business right now!"
"Listen to me, find a proper job first. Work for about half a year to a year!"
"Once you've accumulated some capital, we can consider investing in a business."
All the words Qin Huairu spoke now sounded like useless nonsense to Bang Geng.
Bang Geng was a proud and arrogant individual.
He was a hundred percent unwilling to humble himself and work for others.
Not to mention, Bang Geng had tried to find a job before and had been rejected too many times.
He had been so discouraged that he began to doubt his own life.
Now, asking Bang Geng to find a job and work diligently, he had no inclination for it at all.
Bang Geng now only wanted to sell his house and take a gamble!
If he won, he would enjoy wealth and honor for a lifetime.
If he continued to study, he might as well just muddle through life.
Anyway, Bang Geng was currently following his elder brother around as a hooligan, living a life of debauchery, which he found quite enjoyable.
Unfortunately, Bang Geng knew that Qin Huairu would absolutely not agree to sell their house.
Since he knew this, there was no point in arguing with Qin Huairu about it.
For Bang Geng, there were many ways to make quick money.
While the house couldn't be sold, there were other things at home that could be exchanged for money.
...
The majority of the people in the courtyard were sycophants.
Since Liu Kai Xuan moved to the villa, he hadn't returned for a long time.
This time, Liu Kai Xuan was home for a rare visit, and the neighbors who wanted to curry favor with him finally got their chance.
Like moths to a flame, they rushed into Liu Kai Xuan's house.
In one evening, more than a dozen neighbors visited.
Some asked Liu Kai Xuan to look after their children, while others asked him to arrange jobs for them.
It was impossible to permanently avoid social connections in this world.
Now that Liu Kai Xuan was successful, the sheer number of people trying to curry favor with him was not unusual for him.
For most of the neighbors who meant no harm, Liu Kai Xuan gave them some attention based on their circumstances.
However, when it came to arranging jobs, Liu Kai Xuan had his own set of principles.
He would never help those families who had previously been his enemies.
People like Yi Zhong Hai, Liu Hai Zhong, Yan Bu Gui, and Sha Zhu would never receive any consideration from Liu Kai Xuan in this lifetime.
The next morning, around eight o'clock, Liu Kai Xuan drove his family away.
Many neighbors who came later to seek Liu Kai Xuan's help,
unfortunately, found that he was gone and returned disappointed.
At the same time, a young hoodlum with dyed yellow hair approached Bang Geng.
"Why are you here?" Bang Geng's expression changed slightly upon seeing the person.
"Didn't I tell you, don't come to me when my mom is home!"
The young hoodlum leaned into Bang Geng's ear and whispered, "Brother, Brother Mao has a big job for us!"
"Are you interested in this job?"
"If you are, we can do this big job together, and you'll get a substantial sum of money afterward!"
"If you're not interested, I'll find someone else!"
"Big job..."
Bang Geng frowned. He naturally knew what kind of "big job" Brother Mao's was referring to.
Hooligans, of course, engaged in thievery and other illicit activities.
A moment later, Bang Geng asked, "Just how big is this job? You're being so mysterious!"
The young hoodlum said gravely, "Brother Mao has recently set his sights on a batch of goods!"
"They are all imported high-end goods. The value of this batch alone is at least seventy to eighty thousand!"
"When we brothers get our hands on it, we'll each get at least four to five thousand yuan!"
"If we're lucky and sell them at a good price, we might even get more!"
"Heh, this is indeed a big business!"
The young hoodlum's words made Bang Geng's emotions immediately become excited.
After all, Bang Geng was desperately in need of money.
If this big deal could bring in five thousand yuan, Bang Geng would have the capital to start his restaurant.
