Chapter 154 The 154th Day of Not Running Away The First Day of Not Running Away...

Beijing is a place where news is never in short supply.

Even so, the extortion by the Yang family still sparked several days of discussion.

The common people are the most kind-hearted. They were so angry at Chen Bozheng and his ilk for their lack of morality before, and now they hate the Yang family for their lack of conscience.

Chen Bozheng was still being interviewed on television.

He has a dignified appearance, wearing a suit and trousers, and his spirit is evident even through the screen.

Speaking to reporters, he calmly stated, "We will accept the court's decision. Furthermore, this incident serves as a wake-up call. During the construction of the Jingyang residential complex, we will definitely prioritize worker safety and strengthen protective measures..."

"At the same time, regarding building materials, if anyone finds that the materials we use are of poor quality, they can report it to us. For each instance, we will reward them with 10,000 yuan!"

Watching TV, Wen Chan smiled and turned to look at Chen Bozheng, who was tidying up documents. "How did you come up with this idea? It's a good one."

Chen Bo smiled and turned to look at her: "Now that something like this has happened, we certainly can't let ourselves suffer undeserved misfortune. We definitely have to find a way to turn things around. Jingyang Community already had a bad reputation, so taking this opportunity to completely change everyone's opinion of it is a good idea. I just don't know if it will work?"

Wen Chan thought for a moment and said, "It will definitely have some effect compared to not doing anything."

Wen Chan was right.

These days, ordinary people are honest and trusting. They all feel that if Chen Bozheng dares to make such a guarantee, then Jingyang Community must be trustworthy.

Within a few days, many people came to Jingyang Community to look at houses. Of course, they couldn't see the houses in that area; they could only look at the houses in Jingyun Community.

Upon seeing Jingyun Residential Area, everyone was immediately drawn to it.

The quality and design of this house are impeccable. The walls are made of solid bricks and are thick. Once the bedroom door is closed, no sound can get in from outside.

Noise is never a minor issue.

Whether it's a tenement courtyard or an apartment building, it's incredibly noisy. Neighbors often fall out over the noise, arguing and even fighting, and quite a few become enemies.

A truck driver entered the bedroom, opening and closing the door repeatedly, clearly pleased with himself, and asked, "Is it really not noisy here?"

Chen Bozheng laughed and said, "If you're not comfortable with that, you can come inside. We'll turn the TV up to the maximum outside, and you can try it out."

The truck driver actually tried it.

Chen Bozheng not only turned the TV up to its maximum, but also had someone chop it on the kitchen cutting board with a knife.

After a while, the truck driver came out and said, "There really wasn't much noise just now!"

His wife said, "I think this one is great. You need to sleep during the day and you're afraid of noise. If we buy this house, you can sleep well."

Truck drivers are different from those in other industries. Long-distance truck drivers inevitably have to drive at night. When they get home, other family members have to go to work, cook, and so on. Even if they are extra careful, they can't help but make noise.

Not to mention the neighbors, nobody has the time to worry about you sleeping during the day.

The truck driver said, "I think it's a good deal. You're charging 1600 per square meter, right? I'll take two units. Do you offer a discount?"

Truck drivers are rich; they can earn several hundred yuan per trip. If they happen to smuggle some goods on the side, they can earn even more.

Chen Bozheng said, "This place is 1600, but it's already sold out. The Jingyang Community area is also 1600 right now. We can guarantee that the quality there is absolutely no worse than this place."

The truck driver hesitated for a moment, but ultimately decided to buy the property because he valued the quality of the development.

Over the next few days, several apartments in Jingyang residential area were sold one after another.

This is a good start.

In the past few days, Wang Jianquan finally managed to find a few reliable comrades for Wen Chan to come over.

Wang Jianquan had made a special selection process, choosing comrades who were already married and had honest character.

Chen Bozheng screened it and found no problems before recommending it to Wen Chan.

Wen Chan trusted the two of them, so she took all four bodyguards.

On the first day they met, Wen Chan gave them a red envelope containing 1,000 yuan each. In addition, she rented two rooms for them to stay in next to the courtyard.

Good things come in pairs.

The car that Zhang Yurong arranged for Wen Chan was shipped back to China.

Two brand-new Rolls-Royces, both with genuine leather sofas inside, featuring massage and heated cushions.

When the two trucks arrived at the tenement, the four bodyguards stared in disbelief.

Wen Chan smiled and tossed the keys to them, "Old Xi, Old Wen, get in and try it out, see if you're used to it?"

Men love cars. Lao Xi and Lao Wen used to drive in the army, and after they left, they were assigned to drive for their superiors.

But for some reason, the two of them stopped working, which is why Wang Jianquan introduced them to Wen Chan.

Without any hesitation, the two got into the car. The alley wasn't big, but the two were very skilled drivers and didn't make a single scratch. Fatty and the others all wanted to get in and try it out.

This is a Rolls-Royce; you can count on one hand how many there are in the whole country.

Wen Chan told them all to try it out, and even the children who were just watching got to ride around in a car.

Liu Yan came over, carrying a basket of peaches. Seeing the children cheering and laughing around the car, she smiled at Wen Chan and said, "Those kids will have something to brag about when they go out."

When Wen Chan saw it was her, she smiled and said dismissively, "Kids are all like that."

“You have such a good temper, you even let them sit here,” Liu Yan said. “A few days ago, a BMW was parked here, blocking the alley. The kids were curious and went over to touch it, and the driver yelled at them like crazy.”

Wen Chan invited her inside to sit down.

The weather in Beijing has turned cooler and colder now; the wind blowing in the alleyways is biting.

Liu Yan carried the peaches inside with her, washed her hands and peeled them for her. Wen Chan had just finished preparing the flower tea when she saw her carrying chopped peaches out of the kitchen. "You even went to cut peaches? That's too much trouble for you."

Liu Yan smiled and put down the fruit plate. "No trouble at all, it's just something I did for you. By the way, how are your bodyguards?"

Wen Chan said, "I'm adapting fairly well. What, do you want to hire a bodyguard?"

She put the kettle on to boil water.

Liu Yan thought for a moment and shook her head: "I'd better not. I'm not used to being followed. Besides, I don't have much money. I'm not worth being targeted."

She patted her clothes and said, "Look at me dressed like this, I don't look like a rich person at all."

Wen Chan glanced at Liu Yan, who was dressed very simply in a cotton-padded jacket and trousers, the clothes of which had faded from washing.

She was both amused and exasperated: "You don't usually dress like this when you go out."

Liu Yan smiled and said, "I don't usually dress up much when I go to the factory, so hiring a bodyguard would be a bit of a waste of talent."

As they were talking, the monk and Wen Qunshu walked in.

Wen Qunshu spoke first: "Mr. Wen, are those two flashy luxury cars outside yours?"

The monk nudged Wen Qunshu with his elbow.

Wen Qunshu clutched his chest, looking at him with confusion. "Why did you hit me? I was just asking a question."

The monk was helpless.

When Wen Chan saw them come in, she brought out two more teacups. "They're from the company, but you didn't flaunt them, did you?"

Wen Qunshu noticed their teacups and scurried over to sit down, grinning as he said, "Isn't this just showing off? Those cars are the kind you only see in Hong Kong movies. Goodness, you can tell they're valuable from a distance. You two can't park here, or someone will definitely try to steal them in the middle of the night."

Wen Qunshu's words really reminded Wen Chan.

Wen Chan slapped her forehead, "I've been so busy I forgot about parking."

She was used to having someone take care of these trivial matters, and never expected this.

The monk said, "It's alright. Brother Zheng has rented a small courtyard nearby. You can park your car there. He has hired someone to watch over it, so nothing will happen."

"Really?" Wen Chan asked in surprise, "How come I didn't know about this?"

She was used to Chen Bozheng picking her up and dropping her off in his car, and she hadn't thought about where Chen Bozheng's car would be parked.

Liu Yan smiled and said, "You've been so busy lately, how could you have thought of these things? But it's right to leave these things to A-Zheng; he can arrange everything perfectly."

When the monk saw Liu Yan speak, he looked at her and asked, "Sister Yan, you just mentioned bodyguards. Are you also looking for bodyguards?"

Liu Yan was stunned.

Because the monk didn't talk much, she was genuinely flattered by his concern.

Liu Yan said, "I don't need that, thank you for your concern."

The monk said, "It's almost the end of the year, be careful."

Liu Yan exclaimed "Ah!" and glanced at the monk. The monk lowered his head to eat a peach. Liu Yan hesitated for a moment and then nodded, "I understand."

"Oh, so that's why I couldn't find you at Wen Qunshu's house. Turns out you're back."

The monk's mother suddenly appeared.

His opening remarks startled everyone.

Wen Chan even spilled the herbal tea.

"Mom?" The monk frowned, stood up, and looked somewhat surprised, just like five years ago.

Monk's mother nodded to Wen Chan and the others, then came over and pulled Monk out, saying, "You always say you're busy, but I've finally caught you today. You have to come home with me to change your clothes."

The monk tried to break free, but it wouldn't look good to be arguing with his mother in public, so he said, "I'll go with you, just don't hit me."

His mother rolled her eyes, and seeing the monk's displeased expression, she let go of him, crossed her arms, and walked behind him, saying, "Come on, I've finally caught you today!"

The monk and his mother left.

Neither Wen Chan nor Liu Yan reacted.

Liu Yan looked at Wen Qunshu, who was drinking tea. These days, Wen Qunshu and the monk were inseparable. If there was anything, asking him would definitely be the right thing to do.

She asked, "What's wrong? Why is the monk's mother looking for him?"

Wen Qunshu chuckled and said, "Why even ask? It's a blind date."

"Blind date?!" Wen Chan was taken aback. "A monk this young, and he still needs to go on blind dates?"

Wen Qunshu said, "You all know that Monk's mother has been a widow for many years, and the two of them have depended on each other for survival. His mother has been hoping that he would get married and have children for a long time. These past few years, Monk has been making money and is rarely home, so his mother is even more eager for him to find someone to marry so that the house will be lively. Because of this, Monk has been staying with me for a while now."

After finishing his tea, Wen Qunshu unceremoniously started eating peaches, praising their sweetness as he ate.

Half of the large plate of peaches ended up in his mouth.

Wen Chan and Liu Yan really didn't know about this.

Wen Chan often saw the monk and Wen Qunshu coming and going, but she didn't think much of it, assuming they just met on the road and came together.

Who would have thought that they would all end up living together?
