Chapter 185: An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth!

That ambiguous fantasy image flashed by.

Li Jiaci shuddered all over, dispelling that evil thought.

He couldn't take advantage of someone's peril.

Anything he wants to do can wait until Wang Yingna leaves the hospital.

No need to rush for a while.

Since he came, Wang Yingna neither cried out in pain nor threw a tantrum.

She was as obedient as a little white rabbit.

The night was deep.

Li Jiaci tidied up the mess, then gently patted Wang Yingna's shoulder to lull her to sleep.

Looking at her gradually peaceful sleeping face, he felt immensely satisfied.

Had he known the outcome would be like this.

He wouldn't be stubborn.

Who wouldn't want to bring a beauty home?

Especially someone like Wang Yingna, who can be both a cool older sister and a sweet girl, sexy and chic, a great beauty!

Actually, if you look at it from another angle.

By taking this step first, it's like setting an example for his brothers.

Let them know what kind of woman is worth pursuing.

That way they can avoid many detours.

Li Jiaci waited until she fell asleep, then got up and moved about by the window.

Perhaps it's because his heart has settled into peace.

His thoughts are clearer than during the day.

The Furniture Factory is in the midst of a rapid expansion.

Everything that needs to be prepared is almost ready.

Once the office building is ready, he can go straight into operation.

Since they want to promote trendy furniture styles, the raw materials must be carefully selected.

Combine fashion, high-end, and comfort into one.

Leave customers with nothing to fault.

Just one glance will spark a strong desire to buy.

Speaking of raw materials, Li Jiaci suddenly remembered a place.

Three Sides Slope.

Saying that the timber quality there is second to none in the world is a bit of an exaggeration.

But as raw material for high-end furniture, it's more than sufficient.

Moreover, the timber business in Three Sides Slope has a complete development chain.

Even taking the international sales route is feasible.

Bei Bang Guo's timber is good, but due to geographical and climatic factors, it's still a bit inferior to that of Three Sides Slope.

Selling it to others is fine, but for making their own furniture they must use the best.

What's more, the two businesses don't interfere with each other.

With both approaches, whichever side yields profit.

By the window, mist lingered.

……

Dawn.

Wang Yingna woke up.

Before she even opened her eyes, she nervously felt around the bedside.

She felt a warm palm.

"Jiaci bro?"

"You haven't left yet, really..."

Wang Yingna blinked open her eyes with a smile, her words cut off.

The one sitting by the sickbed was not Li Jiaci.

It was Wang Zhen.

Wang Zhen frowned, displeased, and said: "Speak up, why aren't you speaking?"

"I'm catching up on sleep, don't bother me if it's nothing!"

Wang Yingna rolled her eyes.

She pulled the covers over her head.

Wang Zhen had already been angered by her to the point of being speechless.

He immediately snorted coldly and retorted: "The Jiaci bro you've been longing for thinks work is more important than women, so he left before dawn!"

From under the covers came Wang Yingna's intermittent laughter.

"Hehe..."

"That's just right!"

"The busier Jiaci bro gets, the more it shows his business is booming!"

"The more booming his business, the more money he's making!"

Men earn money, women spend!

In the future, all this money will still be mine!

Listening to Wang Yingna's proud tone.

Wang Zhen furrowed his brows even tighter.

He asked: "Don't I give you money to spend? Seventy percent of the Song and Dance Hall's income goes into your pocket—enough to last you several lifetimes. As for coveting Li Jiaci's trifling profits?"

Wang Yingna lifted a corner of the blanket.

Gazing at this older brother, she let out a deep sigh.

Alas!

I said, brother, can your business be the same as Jiaci brother's?

When you marry in the future, all the money will be under your wife's control!

If you keep giving me money, your future sister-in-law will surely be unhappy!

Likewise, once Jiaci brother marries me, his money will be mine!

Our two families living well is better than anything!

Wang Zhen had never considered marrying.

That was too far off for him.

He waved his hand, saying: "No one gets brother's money except you to spend!"

You're so single‑minded!

Is being good to you not enough?

I already have Jiaci brother; now it's you who hasn't found a home!

We are siblings, intending to stick together; your home is my home!

……

Wang Yingna was speechless.

I used to think Li Jiaci was a block of wood, but now even that block of wood has blossomed.

Wang Zhen is even more like a block of wood.

Waiting for Wang Zhen to open his mind, I don't know how long until the Year of the Monkey and Month of the Horse.

Wang Yingna often feels indebted.

Since childhood, she has taken too much from this older brother.

So much that she could never repay it in several lifetimes.

Yet this older brother remains single‑minded.

Even though he became the most dreaded presence in the underground city, any treasures would still be sent to her hands first, and even if she didn't want them they'd be forced upon her.

Because to Wang Zhen, she is the most precious person in the world.

Any temptation pales compared to a single hair of his precious sister, or even a leg hair.

Wang Yingna pulled the blanket over herself again.

Yet her eyes grew moist.

Wang Zhen did not see this scene.

He muttered to himself: "Don't think that having a man makes your wings hard enough to leave my control; I will control you for life!"

Understood.

……

Shiqiang Mu Cai Chang

Zhao Chen acted quickly.

In just one day he recruited dozens of young people who knew computers.

Seeing the bustling scene at the lumber factory's gate, these young people's eyes also filled with anticipation for the future.

Li Jiaci conducted interviews one by one.

In the end he weeded out a few impostors who were overambitious.

Most of those remaining signed employment contracts that same day.

All that's left is to tidy the office building, then they can start work immediately.

Li Jiaci introduced them to the furniture factory's operational direction and what they needed to do.

On site, based on these young people's work abilities, the work areas were divided, and then wages and benefits were discussed individually.

This went on until late.

Only then were these young people sent back by the car fleet.

Li Jiaci then summoned Zhao Chen, demanding he increase recruitment efforts and purchase a batch of computer equipment.

Zhao Chen, having lived this long, still didn't know what a computer was.

Just hearing about it made him envious and eager.

Seeing this, Li Jiaci generously waved his hand.

I knew you guys would want them!

When the time comes, install a computer in my office!

Install one in your dormitory!

Install one on Wang Lan's desk!

That's enough to make you smug!

Upon hearing this.

Zhao Chen was so excited he was about to jump up.

"Hey, bro, you really are my own brother!"

"Cut that out!"

Li Jiaci deliberately put on a stern face, waved his hand at him, and said: "Hurry up and get it done, don't dilly-dally!"

"I've got this covered!"

Zhao Chen eagerly patted his chest.

He happily left.

Li Jiaci shook his head helplessly.

"What's fun about computers these days?"

"In another ten or twenty years, computers will actually be fun!"
