Walking the Heavens, Becoming a God in Troubled Times

As the undisputed boss among everyone present, Yi Zhonghai spoke first.

Hearing his greeting, Wang Taiyi didn't hesitate and sat directly on the empty seat they had reserved.

"Ladies and gentlemen, if you have anything to say, just speak up!"

"Those who know what you are doing will think there is something to discuss, while those who don't will think it is a three-court trial!"

Hearing those harsh words coming out of Mrs. Wang's mouth, Sha Zhu, who had a bad temper, was the first to lose control...

"Hey, kid, can you please listen carefully when the gentlemen are talking to you?"

You act like you've eaten explosives right from the start. Who provokes you?

“Hehe, who provokes me?”

"Isn't it obvious? I was at home getting ready for bed and you asked me to come over."

This looks like a big deal!

Then he turned his gaze to Yi Zhonghai and said, "If you have anything to say, just tell me directly. There is no need to beat around the bush here."

"I'm a young man, but I can't stand your way!"

After hearing Wang Taiyi's words, everyone present looked at Wang Taiyi except Xu Damao who nodded in agreement.

"Taiyi, you know that everyone's life has been difficult recently."

"And you are a purchasing agent in the factory. I have also heard from the head of the purchasing department that you will be promoted to deputy head in a few days. This proves that you are capable."

"And I've heard about the year-end benefits distributed in the factory. They were purchased by you."

"So I was thinking, since you are so capable, I wonder if you could buy some supplies for the New Year for the people in our compound?"

"And food is in short supply these days. Can you buy some more food? Just consider it as helping the people in Siheyuan. What do you think?"

Hearing those words coming out of Yi Zhonghai's mouth, Wang Taiyi, who had a bad temper, refuted them directly on the spot...

"Haha, uncle, you think too highly of me. I am at best just a small purchasing clerk in the factory."

I don't know where you heard this from, but I'm going to be promoted to deputy section chief. If you have any connections, please tell me so I can help. Maybe I'll really be promoted to deputy section chief by the end of the year.

I will thank you very much then...

"As for purchasing supplies?"

"Haha, although I can purchase so many supplies, I have to pay with favors. Purchasing supplies for the steel mill is related to whether tens of thousands of employees can have enough food. I have no choice but to do it."

"But can the people in the courtyard no longer survive?"

Do you still want me to purchase supplies specifically for them? If I remember correctly, as an eighth-level fitter in the steel rolling mill, your electricity supply was not cut when others were cutting it.

Because you are a laborer doing heavy manual labor, the factory will not let you, its precious child, starve.

You just need to take some out of your quota to support those who really need it in the compound. I believe they will be very grateful to you...

"Wang Taiyi, what do you mean?"

"If you don't want to help, just say so. There's no need to point fingers at an old man and scold him!"

Jia Dongxu, who was sitting behind Yi Zhonghai, couldn't help but stand up and yelled at Wang Taiyi...

"Haha, Jia Dongxu, stop making such noises here. Who do you think you are? You are almost 30 years old, and you still have to rely on your master to support your family!"

"Why? Do you want more disciples?"

Hearing this, everyone was stunned for a moment, and no one reacted...

But the next second, Xu Damao's laughter came over, "Haha..."

Seeing Xu Damao laughing, everyone looked at him with puzzled eyes, and Xu Damao quickly covered his mouth, as if to say, "I don't know, I don't understand, don't ask me..."

However, Yi Zhonghai, who was sitting in the first seat, had a dark face at this time.

He was stunned for a moment, and then he understood what Wang Taiyi meant.

"Wang Taiyi, what do you mean?"

"If you don't want to help, you can just say so. There's no need to slander me and Qin Huairu."

After hearing this, everyone finally reacted. The third uncle lowered his head, but you could still see his shoulders shaking slightly!

Jia Dongxu was like a lobster, his face was red with anger, he immediately stood up, raised his fist, and wanted to hit Wang Taiyi...

"Just try and see if you dare to move. Then you'll see if I dare to send you to the hospital..."

Hearing this, Jia Dongxu, who was originally extremely angry, calmed down instantly.

When everyone present saw Jia Dongxu like this, they all cursed in their hearts, "Coward..."

Just as these people were arguing and preparing to fight, the deaf old lady sitting nearby spoke up...

"Taiyi, do you mind if I call you old lady?"

Hearing the words of the deaf old lady, Wang Taiyi said with a fake smile...

"Old lady, you are the elder of the courtyard, what is allowed or not allowed?"

If you like me, you can call me Taiyi. If you don’t like me, you can call me a bastard. I have no objection!

Hearing this, the deaf old lady didn't say much. With decades of experience, she had seen everything in the world.

"Taiyi, the whole courtyard is considered a big family. Since we all live in it, we are also considered a family. As a family, I think if my family members are in trouble, I would like you to help them. That should be okay, right?"

"And don't worry, asking for your help is not free, we will pay you..."

"oh"!

Hearing what Old Lady Ying said, Wang Taiyi was stunned for a moment. After all, he had seen such a good example before him. Yi Zhonghai's tone of moral blackmail and wanting Wang Taiyi to help him for free really made him unhappy.

And what the old lady said later did make him feel a little relieved.

Even though he doesn't get along with the old lady, he would be a bastard if he doesn't make money, right?

What's more, it was the money of this group of people, and Wang Taiyi was very happy to make it.

But he continued...

"Old lady, purchasing supplies is not a problem for me. If the people in the courtyard want my help, that's no problem either."

But I just couldn’t get used to the old man’s self-righteous tone. Although we lived in the same courtyard, no one ever helped me when I was in trouble before.

If you want my help, you have to pay a price. I am not a kind-hearted person. After all, in this world, kind-hearted people basically don't live long.

Want me to buy supplies...

"Can"

“Twice the price…”

After hearing what Wang Taiyi said before, everyone was surprised at first.

When he heard the following words about double the price, his face instantly darkened again.

Among them, Sha Zhu and Xu Damao are the least concerned.

And people who care about these material things are not as careless as these two.

"Taiyi, isn't twice a bit too high?"

Can you give Second Uncle some face and give him less?

At this time, the "heavyweight" figure in the courtyard, the second uncle Liu Haizhong, appeared...

Hearing what he said, Wang Taiyi couldn't help laughing.

"Second uncle, I should give you this honor, but the situation does not allow it!"
