Chapter 174: You brothers don't look like good people at all!

Watching Wang Yingna happily run into the office, Li Jiaci shook his head and followed.

Along the way he kept picking up the red envelopes she dropped.

He closed the door.

Wang Yingna then spread out those red envelopes on the coffee table.

At first glance there were quite a few.

She rubbed her hands and did some useless warm-up motions.

Staring at those red envelopes, her eyes shone.

Just like a little money-grubber.

Li Jiaci let her be.

He lit a cigarette and threw the picked-up red envelopes onto the coffee table.

Wang Yingna rolled up her sleeves and pointed with her finger like a commander assigning troops.

"It's you!"

She picked up a red envelope and happily tore it open.

The smile at the corner of her mouth instantly stiffened.

"What the hell, only 20 bucks?"

Wang Yingna disdainfully shoved the 20 dollars aside and picked up another red envelope to open.

"This one's even less, only 5 bucks!"

"I don't believe it!"

"You can't get a 100 out of these!"

Wang Yingna's speed of opening red envelopes got faster and faster.

However, the amounts inside the red envelopes were ridiculously small.

Before long, they were all opened.

Even the largest denomination was no more than 50 dollars.

Wang Yingna said angrily: "These petty traders are too stingy, even giving coins—I've never seen such miserly red envelopes!"

In contrast, Li Jiaci was very calm.

He exhaled a puff of smoke and said with a smile: "It's not the size of the red envelope that matters, but the thought!"

"Can a few dollars' worth of coins really be called thought?"

"Brother Jiaci, you're really broad-minded!"

Wang Yingna complained in an unhappy tone.

She had just seen those petty traders' fawning faces and thought she'd better curry favor with Li Jiaci, but it turned out they were just blowing hot air!

Only Li Jiaci is easy to talk to.

If it were her brother Wang Zhen, anyone who dared give such a miserly red envelope would get beaten until they defecated.

The more Wang Yingna thought about it, the angrier she felt.

She picked up the cigarette box Li Jiaci had placed on the coffee table, took out a stick and held it in her mouth.

Before she could light it, Li Jiaci snatched the cigarette from her mouth.

"What's the problem? I'm just smoking a cigarette."

Wang Yingna reached out to grab it back.

Li Jiaci pressed one hand on her head, used the other to snap the cigarette, crumpled it into bits and threw it into the trash can.

"Don't smoke anymore from now on!"

"If you can quit drugs, quitting smoking isn't hard for you!"

"What girl goes around with a cigarette all day?"

"What's the difference between you and those thugs outside?"

Hearing that,

Wang Yingna glared and said: "Even my brother doesn't care if I smoke, yet you're meddling!"

"If you want to stay here, you have to obey me!"

"Otherwise pack your bags now and go back to your brother!"

"When you go back, smoke as much as you want!"

"Even if you smoke yourself to death, I won't care!"

Li Jiaci knew her weak point.

This trick never fails.

Sure enough, when Wang Yingna heard that she stopped fussing.

She resentfully pursed her lips and said: "Fine fine fine, who let me rely on others? If I don't smoke, I don't smoke!"

"That's more like it!"

Li Jiaci ruffled her hair, smiling smugly.

In the blink of an eye, the next day arrived.

The Furniture Factory opened for business.

When the sky was just beginning to lighten, Li Jiaci, fully dressed, stood in the courtyard.

Not long after, the dormitory doors opened one by one.

Zhao Chen and the others yawned and came out one after another.

Wang Yingna also put on beautiful makeup, dressed nicely, and came to stand before Li Jiaci.

The steaming hot buns came out of the pot.

Li Jiaci lifted the pot lid and said to everyone, "Eat a bit more; there are still several hours until lunch!"

"Brother, you eat too!"

Zhang Chuqiang picked up a meat bun and stuffed it into his mouth.

The buns kept steaming, and Li Jiaci's lips were about to get scalded.

Seeing this, Zhang Chuqiang quickly reached out to catch it.

But Li Jiaci shook his head at him, gritted his teeth, and chewed the scalding bun before swallowing it.

"Hey!"

"My brother is really manly!"

Zhang Chuqiang gave a thumbs up.

At that moment, two bicycles rode into the lumber mill.

Hong Bo came with his wife and child.

"Boss, how did you know we haven't had breakfast?"

"From far away I could smell the aroma of your buns!"

"I pedaled so hard my bike chain was practically sparking!"

Hong Bo leaned his bike to the side.

He said cheerfully.

His wife, Zhou Ju, was no stranger to the lumber mill either; she was familiar with everyone.

Zhou Ju held the child, pulled out a red envelope from her pocket, smiling, and slipped it into Li Jiaci's hand.

"Boss Li, congratulations!"

"Business is getting bigger and better!"

"Having Lao Hong work for you is a blessing for our whole family!"

Li Jiaci did not decline.

He directly accepted the red envelope and said, "Sister-in-law, hurry and eat a few buns while they're hot!"

"Good, good, good!"

Zhou Ju wiped her hands clean, took a bun, and fed it to the child.

The child looked about four or five years old, a bit timid, and shyly hid in Zhou Ju's embrace.

Li Jiaci smiled and said, "Brother Hong, bring the kid over to play more often; once he sees the world, he won't be so shy."

Hong Bo blew on the bun's heat and suddenly said, "It's not the child's fault for being timid; blame your few brothers—they just don't look like good people!"

"What?"

Li Yihu came over.

The child let out a wail and started crying.

"No, why are you crying?"

"I'm really that scary? No way!"

"I look pretty handsome in the mirror!"

Li Yihu touched his own face.

He said, utterly incredulous.

Wang Yingna ate the steaming bun and retorted, "You can't just rely on your own opinion; you need to listen to what the crowd says!"

"Na Jie, you..."

"Hahaha!"

"Huzi, forget it, forget it!"

"With our looks, we shouldn't be competing with anyone!"

Zhao Chen poked Li Yihu a few times.

Everyone had finished breakfast.

They then drove separately to the various workshops to prepare for the opening ceremony.

The opening ceremony procedure is very simple.

Li Jiaci led the guests past the workshop doors, then the brothers guarding inside set off firecrackers and fireworks, and finally everyone went together to the main hall of the furniture factory to cut the ribbon.

The main hall is the first workshop Li Jiaci looked at.

Because there was a ready-made processing room, the first batch of lumber had already been transported there, and Hong Jiafu was stationed in charge.

It arrived at ten o'clock in the morning.

The first batch of guests arrived.

Wang Zhen and Wang Li brought a handful of lackeys from the Song and Dance Hall to congratulate the opening.

That guy, that scene.

A full eight small cars were parked at the workshop entrance.

Each car's trunk was stuffed full of congratulatory gifts.

And that's not all.

Wang Zhen took two thick red envelopes and gave one each to Li Jiaci and Wang Yingna.

Their weighty heft was exhilarating.

"Brother, you said you'd just come, why prepare all this stuff?!"

"It's really embarrassing!"

Wang Yingna smiled, eyes crinkling as she fingered the red envelope in her hand, feigning bashfulness as she spoke.

How could Wang Zhen not know her?

He immediately flicked her forehead.

"Just go ahead and show off!"

Wang Li said from the side, "Our brother is here to back you up; he prepared all this for a whole week!"
