Not long after, the security guard of Zhang Jingye's Nanshan Villa was hospitalized because his wife, who had stayed in his hometown, was sick. There was no one to take care of the children and the elderly at home. His father called and asked him to go home immediately. However, this job offered a high salary, good treatment, and was not too busy. He really did not want to give up, so he explained the situation to Zhang Jingye and asked for a month's leave. He said that once the leave was over, regardless of his wife's illness, he would come back to work on time. Zhang Jingye felt that it was too long and was afraid that something would happen to the villa, so he only allowed him a week's leave. The security guard said that it was too far away from home, and it would take a week to go back and forth. He did not know how his wife's condition was and when she would be discharged from the hospital. He said that it would take at least twenty days to go back and forth. Zhang Jingye firmly refused. He said that the South Hill Villa was located in the suburbs and was in a remote location. After he left, Auntie Li would be the only one left. Moreover, she was a woman. If anything happened, the consequences would be unimaginable. Zhang Jingye was telling the truth. However, other than these reasons, there was another reason. He already had a new candidate for the villa's security guard in mind, so he flatly rejected the security guard's request. The security guard had no choice but to resign.
The security guard at the entrance had left. Auntie Li was the only one left to manage the affairs of the huge South Hill Villa. She was really in charge! She had no choice but to lock the inner door and leave Xiao Mei alone inside. She moved to the guard room outside the gate in an empty garden and a quiet building. She was afraid that Xiao Mei would be lonely and afraid, so she said to her,"Don't be afraid. This is only temporary. Mr. Stanley said that he has already found a new security guard. The new security guard will arrive in a few days. At that time, I will still move back and take care of your daily life. For the next few days, you'll have to suffer a little."
Xiao Mei didn't care. She said," Don't worry about me. Just move to the guard room outside. You can stay as long as you want." I feel more at ease being alone. I'm already used to the life here, and I don't feel lonely or scared anymore. I'll take care of my own life, so you don't have to worry. And this is even better. I have new food to eat on Sunday. I don't have to eat leftovers anymore.”
"You wish! You have new meals and new dishes to eat, but I have no rest time. I can't go home to visit my husband and son on Sunday. In addition, the responsibility is even greater. If a bad person barges in, how can a woman like me deal with it?。After a long time, even if you're willing, I'm not!”
"Look at what you're saying. Can a living person die from holding their pee? If you miss your husband and son, feel free to go back and see them. Just don't forget to bring me food. Don't worry, go and come back quickly. I'll keep my mouth shut and definitely won't tell Mr. Stanley.”
"Don't harm me! This method simply wouldn't work. "Think about it. I don't know when, but if Mr. Stanley comes and I'm not around, no one will open the door for him. Wouldn't I be exposed?”
"Didn't you say that Mr. Stanley has the keys to both doors? As long as he can come in, you're not here, but I'm here, right? I told you that you went to buy something for me.”
Auntie Li waved her hand." No, no, Mr. Stanley is smarter than a monkey. I went to buy you something, but I came back empty-handed. I'll still be exposed.”
" It's easy to call it a secret. When I saw that you were empty-handed, the first thing I asked you was: Auntie Li, where are the socks you bought for me? Just say that the stockings you want are out of stock and you can buy them in the future.”
"It still won't work! This kind of trick could fool children, but in front of Chairman Zhang, it was like playing a big knife in front of Master Guan. It could not be hidden at all. Also, if you climb over the wall and run while I'm home, I'll be completely finished!”
"It's really difficult to be a good person. Since you suspect that I have ill intentions, then fine, just bear with it. You will guard the two gates day and night. Don't sleep either. You will clean the two courtyards twice a day. I originally wanted to help, but he didn't want to, so I had no choice but to give up. Anyway, there's a new meal and new dishes to eat on Sunday. We can't care about anything else. Why worry about others for nothing?”Xiao Mei looked as if it had nothing to do with her and was hanging on high.
Auntie Li smiled and said,"Don't be too smug. Your life isn't much better than mine." Half a year has passed, and your stomach is still flat. There's no news at all. Don't blame me, just continue to endure it! If you stay in this garden, don't even think about leaving. I'm afraid you'll live longer than me.”
This sentence touched Xiao Mei's sore spot. She said angrily,"How can you blame me for this? As the saying goes, good seeds produce good seedlings. Without good seeds, how could good seedlings grow? Sigh! Forget about the good seedlings and the bad seedlings. I've already completed my mission even if you grow one. If you don't grow one, don't you think it's infuriating?”
"Let's not complain anymore. We're being controlled by others for the time being. I think that there will be a day when things get out of hand.”
Although Auntie Li said that, she was actually more anxious than anyone else. She had to do all the work in and out of the villa by herself. She worked hard day and night, but she was afraid that something would happen. If she had to bear the responsibility alone, she would be exhausted. She repeatedly told Zhang Jingye that she was too busy to handle it alone. If something happened, the responsibility would be heavy and it would be difficult to bear. Zhang Jingye told her that he had already found a new security guard and that he would be there soon.
On this day, Dasheng was delivering goods in the warehouse. The manager in charge of the warehouse brought a new storekeeper to the warehouse and said to him,"After you deliver this batch of goods, hand over the work here to him. Chairman Zhang wants you to go to his office. He probably wants to change your job.”"I'm doing well here, and I didn't make any mistakes. Why did you change my job?"”The manager said,"Chairman Zhang didn't say. I don't know either. You'll know when you go." Previously, Mr. Zhang asked me how your work was. I said that you had done well recently and that your results were remarkable. Mr. Zhang was very happy to hear that. He probably wants to change you to a better job.”
Dasheng thanked the warehouse manager. He thought to himself, Why am I being transferred? Be his secretary? Didn't they say that Mr. Stanley's secretaries were all women? On second thought, although the secretary's job has a good reputation, it's not a good thing for me. I'm trapped in the office all day long. How can I come out and look for Xiao Mei? He might as well be a warehouse keeper here so that he could ask for news about Xiao Mei when he met someone. So he said to the manager,"Go and talk to Chairman Zhang. Tell him that the warehouse needs me. I like this job too. Don't transfer me."”"I don't dare to say that," said the manager. Perhaps Mr. Stanley's transfer of your work is more important. It's useless even if I say it.”Seeing that the warehouse manager was unwilling to help, Da Sheng could only agree to listen to the transfer.
After Da Sheng finished the delivery, he went through the handover procedures with the person who came. He came to Zhang Jingye's office in confusion and asked,"Chairman Zhang, you were looking for me?"
"Yes, I am. How's work recently?"
"It's alright."
"It's not that it's okay, it's that you're doing very well! I've heard about it. He's very conscientious in his work. The accounts and the physical items match perfectly. There are no mistakes. The cleanliness of the warehouse is also good. His results are remarkable. I'm most satisfied with the fact that you speak the truth and don't lie.”
"It's only right to be loyal to the king.”
Dasheng still said the same old words. He thought that he had asked me to be a storekeeper to test me. Fortunately, nothing went wrong.
"I promised you that if you do a good job as a storekeeper, I have more important work for you to do. Your salary will increase by another 1,000 yuan, and your monthly salary will be 4,000 yuan.”
The university student was a little puzzled,"How can you raise your salary in just two months?" A thousand yuan all at once? Wasn't this too fast and too much? He looked at Zhang Jingye blankly.
Zhang Jingye saw the confusion in Dasheng's eyes and said,""A high salary means that the work is important and the responsibility is heavy.”Da Sheng nodded blankly again.
Zhang Jingye called Dasheng over and said,""I have a wife who lives in the southern mountain villa in the suburbs. The scenery there is beautiful and the conditions are excellent. It's just that the place is remote and I need a loyal and reliable security personnel. In view of your outstanding character, you risked your life to retrieve my hat from the river. And now, you've done such a good job at the warehouse, you've done a remarkable job, and you're honest and trustworthy, so I'm sending you. How about it? Are you willing to do it?"
When Da Sheng heard that he was sent to the South Hill Villa as a security guard, the scene of the South Hill Villa immediately appeared in his mind. He had been there before. It was in the southeast of Guangzhou City, with beautiful mountains and rivers and beautiful scenery. It was a residential area for nobles. Many rich people in Guangzhou City bought houses or built houses there to stay away from the hustle and bustle of the city and enjoy peace. He guessed that Zhao Zifeng lived in that area and Xiao Mei was his nanny. However, the security there was strict and outsiders were not allowed to enter, so he could not enter the villa to ask for news about Xiao Mei. Now that Zhang Jingye had asked him to be a security guard there, he was naturally more than happy to do so, so he said,"I'm willing to serve Mr. Stanley. I'm a foreigner, and I don't have any relatives or friends in the city. I didn't care about being in the city or outside the city. I just wanted to work and earn money. Chairman Zhang trusts me so much and pays me such a high salary. I'm naturally willing to go. I guarantee that I'll do a better job.”"That's good," said Zhang Jingye. I hope you can satisfy me as a security guard as well as a storekeeper.”
Zhang Jingye immediately asked the chauffeur to prepare the car and sent Dasheng back to the warehouse to pack his things. Then, he went to Nanshan Villa with him and started work on the same day.
Dasheng followed Zhang Jingye to the front of the villa. The driver honked the car horn. Auntie Li heard it and opened the door. Seeing that it was Zhang Jingye, she quickly bowed and greeted him."Hello, Chairman Zhang!" Zhang Jingye nodded and pointed at the student.""His name is Wang Dasheng. He used to be the storekeeper of the Binjiang warehouse. He is responsible, loyal, and reliable, so I transferred him to the villa to be a security guard.”
Auntie Li saw that Dasheng was tall and handsome. He looked a little like her husband when he was young. She was very satisfied and smiled at Zhang Jingye."Thank God, there's finally a reliable guard on duty. I can finally be free!”Zhang Jingye said," You've worked hard these few days. I'll calculate the salary for two people if you work for two people."”"She's Auntie Li, the manager of the villa. She's in charge of your work here." In the future, if the security guards lacked anything or had any requests, just let her know. She would handle it properly.”"Hello, Manager Li!" Dasheng said to Auntie Li. Please give me your guidance in the future." "You're welcome," said Auntie Li. In such a big garden, the two of us are actually the ones who do the work. Let's help each other.”
Zhang Jingye led Da Sheng into the guard room and said to him," This room was divided into two rooms. The outside was the duty room and there was an internal phone. If there was anything that could not be handled, he could ask Auntie Li in time. Inside is your bedroom. Everything you need is there. This is your post. You must guard it 24 hours a day and not leave without permission. The restaurant will send someone to deliver the three meals a day on time, both inside and outside. After you receive it, call Auntie Li to pick it up. Da Sheng thought,'I can't leave without permission for 24 hours. Isn't this trapping me to death?' How can I go out and check on Xiao Mei? Being a security guard here was not as free as being a storekeeper in the warehouse.
Zhang Jingye brought Dasheng to the courtyard and pointed to the inner courtyard. Madam and Auntie Li live inside. That place is a restricted area. You and all outsiders are not allowed to enter, and you are not allowed to ask about any information inside. This was the villa's rule and could not be violated. Da Sheng thought to himself that there was no need to explain this. Since the inner courtyard is where your wife and Auntie Li live, and it's all women, why should I go in? Their matters have nothing to do with me, so why should I ask about them?
Zhang Jingye then said to Auntie Li,"What other jobs does the security guard have? If you can't do it well, it's his responsibility. If you can't explain it, it's your responsibility.”Auntie Li agreed and pointed at the door." The door is normally closed. Unless Mr. Stanley comes in and out of the villa with me to do something, or if Mr. Stanley sends someone to come, don't worry about asking for directions, looking for people, selling things, whether it's official or private. You're not allowed to open the door. This way, the villa would be quiet and safe, and it would also reduce a lot of unnecessary trouble.”He then pointed to the courtyard and said," You're in charge of cleaning the outer courtyard. I'll be in charge of cleaning the inner courtyard. We'll do it twice a day. Also, hand your phone to me for safekeeping. If you need to contact the outside world, you must go through me. You are not allowed to contact the outside world privately. This was the villa's unified rule and could not be violated.”
Da Sheng could understand the other rules, but he felt that handing over the phone was too harsh. He looked at Zhang Jingye, unwilling to hand over his phone. Zhang Jingye said," This is the villa's unified rule. The purpose is to ensure the safety of the villa. It has been implemented like this for many years. It's not good to change the system because of you. Call your family or friends if you need anything. Tell Auntie Li that she will agree to any legitimate request.”Dasheng had no choice but to reluctantly hand the phone to Auntie Li.
From then on, Dasheng lived in the guard room of the villa. The work here was different from being a warehouse keeper. Although the system was strict, the work was very light. The door was closed every day, and no outsiders disturbed them. There was little work but it was regular. Mrs. Li would occasionally go out to do things, and Zhang Jingye would come once every two or three to five days, so he had to open the door. He also had to clean the courtyard twice a day. Although it was called cleaning, it was actually not difficult. He only had to sweep the leaves that occasionally fell from the trees. There was no other dust because there was almost no one else in the outer court who set foot in this place. He called Auntie Li three times a day to ask her to come and get food. Every time he dialed the number, Auntie Li would say,"Got it." The rest of the time, there was almost nothing to do. He was either sitting, lying down, or taking a walk in the courtyard. He silently missed Xiao Mei and planned how to find her.
The security guard soon discovered that although the villa's system was strict, it was not without loopholes. Usually, he was afraid of the rules and regulations, so he stuck to his post and did not dare to walk out of the door. However, on Sunday, Auntie Li went home to visit her husband and son, and Zhang Jingye went back to the city to accompany his wife. The door of the villa was locked all day, and Mrs. Zhang was locked inside and could not come out. No one came to control him. Other than receiving food from the restaurant for three meals a day, he could spend the rest of his time on his own. Hence, he slipped out of the villa and locked the door. He quietly went around to look for residents, businessmen, and passersby to inquire about Zhao Zifeng and Xiao Mei. However, even in the villa area, these two people were always unknown here, which made him very disappointed.
Unable to find anyone or find out the truth, he could only think about it repeatedly. Who was this Zhao Zifeng? What exactly did he do? Where did he live? How is Xiao Mei now? Why hasn't she contacted me for so long? Did she not miss Yu Lang? Don't you want to know if Yu Lang had surgery and what happened after the surgery? He was puzzled. Later, he remembered that Zhang Jingye had confiscated his phone when he arrived at the South Hill Villa. He suddenly understood. Xiao Mei must be like me, with her phone confiscated by Zhao Zifeng. She must be trapped in Zhao Zifeng's courtyard as a nanny, taking care of the old lady wholeheartedly and not going out. It seemed that she would only be able to contact him after she left the Zhao family three years later. If he couldn't find Xiao Mei, he would have to wait three years before meeting her and telling her about Yu Lang. He had searched almost all the houses around the villa, but he still found nothing. If he did not want to wait for a long time, he would have to resign, leave the villa, and leave Zhang Jingye. But if he left this place, where would he find Xiao Mei? He was certain that Zhao Zifeng also lived in the villa area, but he did not know which villa it was. He could only stay here and search slowly. He might find Xiao Mei one day. If he left Nanshan Villa and Zhang Jingye, who was such a good boss, without a job and salary, how could he continue looking for a job in Guangzhou? He was confused.
