On the battlefield, one advances by the inch and gains tenfold in gold.

  Gao Zong is indeed Gao Zong, his acting skills are absolutely top-notch. He stuffed the black material into Bai Qi Chang's arms and instructed him: "Sit here and don't move." Then he quickly adjusted his collar, pushed open the door and went out.

  "Director Li, Little Liu, what a coincidence!" Gao Jinbao's face was full of surprise as he quickly walked up to them.

  Li Niang was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said: "You are Gao Jinbao from the first period, right?"

  "It's me, it's me! President Li, your memory is really too good!" General Gao was overjoyed, waving his hands and dancing with excitement.

  "Alright, you guys chat, I have something else to attend to." Li Ni smiled and headed back to her office.

  "Manager Li is walking slowly, Manager Li goodbye." Gao Jinbao's face still had a happy smile on it. After waiting for Manager Li's figure to disappear at the end of the corridor, he turned around and solemnly patted Liu Ziguang's shoulder, saying: "Little Liu, from now on our branch company will rely entirely on you."

  Liu Ziguang was holding his arms and watching Gao's joke, he chuckled: "Where, our place, is still your home."

  "What's with you and me, aren't we like brothers? If I say this again, I'll turn against you." General Gao's face changed suddenly, hearing Liu Ziguang and him being distant, he had a righteous expression, but quickly put on a smile and said: "Little Liu, there are still several empty positions in our place, if your family has any idle relatives or friends, give me a shout, brother will help you arrange it, absolutely a matter of one word."

  "Then I'll thank General Gao first." Liu Ziguo said with a smile.

  "Look at you, still calling me boss, shouting 'brother', 'older brother'." Boss Gao said with a pat on his chest.

  ……

  After returning to the company, the appointment letter from the headquarters HR department also arrived. Liu Ziguang officially took office as the deputy manager of the first branch company, still in charge of the security department, and was also responsible for collecting property fees. The customer service department was also assigned to him for management. Those customer service girls were overjoyed when they found out.

  As the deputy manager, he had more power in his hands, with certain personnel and financial powers. At least for the security department and customer service department, Liu Ziguang was in charge of personnel appointments and removals. Usually, buying office supplies or working overtime to eat a meal, signing could be reimbursed.

  After Liu Ziguang took office, the first thing he did was to help Wang Zhijun get a suspended salary and keep his job, so that he could go home and take care of his sand field business without worrying about his work.

  Then he helped the security guards to purchase new uniforms and badges. The original security uniform of Zhicheng Property was black and gray, with a traditional style and synthetic fabric. Even people who were originally in good spirits looked dull when they wore it, and it was not aesthetically pleasing. Except for when they were on duty, everyone would hurry to take it off as soon as they got off work, and no one wanted to wear it.

  Liu Ziguang ordered high imitation 5.11 jackets and tactical pants from Taobao, as well as customized baseball caps online, and also found a small workshop that makes badge emblems to order a batch of magic sticker badges and metal badges.

  After his redesign of the security uniform, it completely overturned everyone's understanding of property security. On their heads, they wore baseball caps with the abbreviation of the property company, and the degree of curvature of the hat brim was just right. The upper body was a black 5.11 jacket, with a metal badge on the chest bearing the logo of Zhicheng Property. The sleeve patch had a Tibetan Mastiff head pattern, which was to commemorate the security guards' Longyang Battle.

  Here is the translation:

  Below are khaki tactical pants and high imitation Oakley desert combat boots, with a strong light flashlight and night market wholesale baton hanging from the tactical belt, thirty yuan per stick, hitting people as painful as several thousand yuan ASP, the original communication tool was Beifeng 5118 walkie-talkie, slightly inferior in conversation distance, adding a few Motorola high-power machines.

  These lines added up, actually didn't amount to much money, so they were reimbursed under the name of replacing uniforms. From then on, the security guards at Zhicheng Phase I became the most unique among several branch companies of Zhicheng Property, even their uniforms were different from others.

  People rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles. This sentence is not false at all. When the security guards, who are refreshed from head to toe, walk up to their posts, they look completely different from before. Each one of them exudes a heroic and capable aura. The security guards standing at attention salute with an even more elegant and handsome posture. Those on patrol have their hands hooked on their belts, and under the black sunglasses, their eyes scan around, making thieves tremble with fear and owners feel at ease.

  Such a trendy outfit, young men also like to wear it in their daily lives, and they don't even take it off after work, wearing it on the street to show off, this very fashionable dress is eye-catching wherever you go, and the effect of attracting girls is not bad either.

  Liu Ziguang's prestige is rising, and he can now rival Gao in terms of power. Meanwhile, poor Bai, the captain, still holds his original position, staring at the prospect of promotion with no hope, having to swallow his anger and continue to punch in and out on time every day.

  The old dad and mom were overjoyed to hear that their son had been promoted again. In fact, the old couple didn't care about the raise in salary, but rather that their son was making progress and doing well. This way, the gap between him and Fang's nurse would get smaller and smaller, and when it came time to propose, her parents would also look up to them.

  In addition, Liu Ziguang also received an unexpected friendship. At noon that day, Cao Dahua, the head of security at headquarters, came to find Liu Ziguang and said, "Brother, I owe you a great favor. If there's anything I can help with in the future, just say the word!"

  Liu Ziguang smiled and politely sent Cao Dahua away. The position of head of security at headquarters was not something he wanted to do, but for Cao Dahua it was very important. Having many friends and connections can be helpful; why not lend a hand? Most people in this world are sensible and know how to repay kindness.

  ……

  The business on the sandy field progressed rapidly, with the support of Fang Fei's 500,000 funds, all equipment arrived quickly, and new sand dredgers, sand washing and drying machines were delivered to Zhu Wangzhuang. Wang Zhijun recruited a dozen villagers who had experience in sand dredging, let Cui Cui be the accountant, and everyone worked hard with great enthusiasm.

  The two dredgers are the latest models, each with 20 buckets, capable of producing 100 cubic meters of sand per hour. This output is not low, and after selection and drying, it can be directly loaded onto ships for transportation.

  The sand excavation site is located on the banks of the Dasaha River, with very convenient transportation conditions. Wang Zhijun contacted several boat owners to help him transport the sand, which was a flat-bottomed boat commonly seen on the canal, although it was slow but won in low price and large quantity, most suitable for transporting building materials.

  A flat-bottomed boat transported sand from the sand pit, traveled along the Dashagang River into the Huai River. Since there was no cargo dock in the city, it could only unload at the Shiliupu Dock in the southern suburbs, where Liu Ziguang's fleet happened to be waiting to receive the goods.

  Apart from the two Dongfeng trucks, the boss of the garage, Xuanzi, also managed to get three more trucks, and Liu Ziguo found seven or eight dump trucks through connections, forming a fleet to deliver sand to various construction sites.

  Nan Tai River sand is famous all over the world, and now it's also the hottest period for real estate development. Construction sites are blooming everywhere, building materials prices are rising day by day, and the business of sand yards is booming. The payment is settled daily, never delayed. The production capacity of the sand yard is very high, producing 2,000 cubic meters of coarse sand every day. After filtering, selecting, drying, 800 cubic meters of sand are transported out every day.

  The current market price of sand is 100 yuan per cubic meter, and the gross profit of 800 cubic meters of sand is 800,000 yuan. After deducting the wages of the sand field workers, equipment depreciation, contract fees, transportation costs, and kickbacks to the construction site managers, there is still a net profit of 50,000 yuan per day, which is simply a huge profit!

  Within three days of starting work, there were already hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash on the books. Wang Zhi-jun brought the financial reports to show Liu Zi-guang, and both of them beamed with joy. At this rate, all their problems would be easily solved. Zhi-jun's family could build a house, Liu Zi-guang's family could improve their living conditions, they could help Mao Hai-niang get medical treatment, buy a house, get married, and fulfill their parents' wishes. These things that were once distant dreams suddenly became within reach, almost tangible.

  Wang Zhijun gave Liu Ziguo 50,000 yuan and asked him to take care of various aspects because it involved urban transportation issues. He had to deal with departments such as traffic police, public security, and city management, and all sorts of gods had to be appeased. In this regard, Wang Zhijun was completely clueless, and Liu Ziguo was also very reluctant.

  Someone has to take care of things, so Liu Ziguang took the money and put it on himself. Thinking that he still hadn't done what he promised Fang Fei, he called her out for dinner.

  "Fang Fei, are you free at noon? I'll treat you to lunch."

  "Free time, what's good to eat?"

  "Aren't you going to eat Pizza Hut? Come on."

  "You won't be rich, will you? Alright, I'll come right away."

  Pizza Hut restaurant, by the window seat, Liu Ziguang and Fang Fei sat opposite each other, on the table was a big pile of delicious pizza salad and so on, and a bunch of fragrant lily flowers. Fang Fei looked at all this with joy and asked Liu Ziguang: "Did you make a fortune?"

  "Yes, last time I borrowed 500,000 from you, I invested in a sand field and the business is going well, so I came to thank you specially."

  "Hum, you have a conscience after all. What about the silk factory? Don't you have many female textile workers under your command?" Fang Xi said with wide eyes.

  Liu Ziguang was laughing and crying at the same time, explaining: "It's not silk floss, but sand, yellow sand, a building material."

  "Whatever, as long as I'm making money, I'll just eat it."

  The two of them happily enjoyed a delicious meal, and after dinner, Fang Fei stretched out her hand: "Hand it over."

  "What?" Liu Ziguang was somewhat perplexed.

  "Interest, ah, borrowing money can't be without interest. According to the bank's loan interest rate, for 500,000 yuan with a one-year term, you'll have to pay me 2,500 yuan every month." Fang Fei stretched out his hand, with a completely businesslike expression.

  Liu Ziguang suddenly enlightened, took out a thick stack of money from his bag, and handed 2,500 yuan to Fang Fei.

  "Oh my, so much money! You're really rich, why don't you give a bit more?" Fang Fei blinked her big eyes and joked with Liu Ziguang.

  "You have to give me everything at once, otherwise what excuse will I use to ask you out for dinner next time?" Liu Ziguang also started joking with her.

  "I didn't know you were so glib, humph. Do you still need an excuse to ask me out for dinner? By the way, why are you still giving me lily flowers?" Fang Xi said with a pout, sniffing the fragrance of the lilies.

  "What's the gift? A basket of apples?" Liu Ziguang started playing dumb.

  "You're so stupid, you can't even give red roses." Fang Xi gave him a white eye.

  "And another thing, I'm asking you, what am I to you?" Fang Fei pressed on step by step.

  "Aren't you my girlfriend? What's there to question?" Liu Ziguang spread his hands.

  "This is pretty good, when are you going to formally invite me over to your place?"

  "Welcome anytime."

  Liu Ziguang's girlfriend made a big plan, and it was settled in Pizza Hut.

  ……

  When he got home, his parents were overjoyed to the point of tears. Their son, who was almost thirty years old, had finally found a girlfriend, and her job and family background were so good. Most importantly, she was kind, gentle, beautiful, and elegant. Such a daughter-in-law would be hard to find even with a lantern, his father said with a slap on the table. He immediately decided to invite Fang Wei home for dinner tomorrow night. His mother also mysteriously said that she had prepared precious gifts for her future daughter-in-law.

  A family was chatting and laughing, when Liu Ziguang's phone suddenly rang. He answered it, and it was Ma Chao calling to say that the convoy had been blocked by someone in the southern suburbs, who refused to let them pass.

  As expected, these businesses of earthwork and building materials are not something ordinary people can handle, accidents can happen at any time!
