"How is it? How many job letters have you got now?" In the Shanju Villa, Zhou Yang, who had just returned to the study, found that Yue Feng had already been sitting in front of the computer to check the information.

"Hey, it still doesn't work. After a few days, there were only fifteen in total, including ten for security, five for teachers, and none for medical." A somewhat dejected Yue Feng said about the establishment that was about to be established.

Difficulties in the welfare home.

"It is indeed a problem..." Zhou Yang frowned, and the salary issue was always at the top of his list. It did not mean that he was unwilling to increase the salary of his staff.

It's just that this is a welfare home, and it is impossible to generate income except for investment. According to the previous budget, the staff needs to be at least close to a hundred, maybe more, and this does not include volunteers.

Mainly, no one can estimate how many orphans this orphanage will take in in the future.

Some time ago, Zhou Yang collected a lot of information and learned that there are at least close to 20,000 orphans in Jiangnan Province, but there are only 14 orphanages, and the largest orphanage only takes in more than 500 orphans.

This means that there may be no less than 10,000 orphans living in homeless places.

As for the annual living expenses required by each orphan, according to the welfare home of the Jiang family, I am afraid it is no more than 10,000 to 20,000 yuan.

Every extra penny spent on personnel is squeezed out of the living expenses of future orphans.

Either don't do it, or do it the best you can. This is Zhou Yang's consistent style, so in his vision, his welfare home must be the best in all aspects.

While the two were thinking hard, a phone rang.

Looking at the caller number, Zhou Yang looked confused, Zhao Hanya? What do you want to see him for at this time?

"Hello, Teacher Zhao." Zhou Yang answered the phone.

After the call lasted only three minutes, Zhou Yang gradually showed a look of ecstasy. It was actually Zhao Hanya who had brought him a piece of great news.

"Okay, that's it. Even if I don't have time after the new year, I will ask Brother Jiang to come forward and meet them. Thank you, Teacher Zhao." Zhou Yang hung up the phone in joy.

Zhao Hanya's phone call helped Zhou Yang as much as anything else.

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Yang didn't waste any time and immediately called Jiang Tianming.

"Brother Jiang, Teacher Zhao just gave me good news. She helped us find a group of retired teachers, about thirty or forty people..."

Yue Feng looked at Zhou Yang on the phone, and was also shocked by the sudden good news. According to this, the early teachers' staff was almost ready at once.

"Hey, okay, okay..."

"Okay, let's do this for now..." After hanging up the phone, Zhou Yang felt a sense of relief. The most important part of the staff, the teacher, had been finalized.

He also didn't expect that at this juncture, Zhao Hanya would be able to recommend so many teachers to him like help in times of need. Although they were all retired teachers, those people didn't care about the salary issue at all, they just wanted to use their remaining talents while they still had some ability.

Next, we just need to find a way to find medical staff and security.

Even though the land has not been purchased yet, construction will start very quickly once everything is finalized. During this period, people need to be arranged to go out to search for orphans, so time is still quite tight.

Zhou Yang hopes that he can get a few major things done before joining Beijing.

Spend the morning peacefully.

Zhou Yang, who had just returned to the Zhou family's ancestral home in the afternoon, received another call from Mu Ming before he could say a few words to the old man.

Zhou Yang expected that he could successfully buy the land, but he didn't expect Mu Ming to move so quickly. Although he didn't know how to operate it, he could tell from Mu Ming's words, which saved a lot of tedious work.

step.

He doesn't understand anything about bidding, land resources, or transfer procedures.

After successfully agreeing on the signing time with Mu Ming, Zhou Yang called Jiang Tianming again. Basically, he didn't have to worry about the rest. He only needed to transfer the money from the account to the Jiang family. All the trivial processes were handled by the Jiang family.

Follow up with professionals.

It was the first time that such a large sum of money was handled by Zhou Yang. He didn't feel distressed, but instead felt relieved after completing something great.

After all the busy work, one day passed before I knew it.

In the next two days, Zhou Yang was not idle for a moment. In addition to helping Yue Feng continue to recruit people, he also began to try to make use of his few connections.

For example, he had never thought about martial arts before. After the news about the orphanage was released, Geng Weihai quickly contacted him.

The other party even spread the news on his behalf throughout the Southern Continent martial arts community.

However, in just half a morning, Zhou Yang received calls from more than a dozen martial arts schools, large and small, in Nanzhou, each claiming that they were willing to provide Zhou Yang with free security services, but there was a condition.

They just need Zhou Yang to provide a place where they usually use for teaching.

Regarding the condition they proposed, Zhou Yang thought it could not be simpler. The orphanage itself had plans to build a sports venue, and it was nothing more than setting aside a piece of land for them to use.

This is probably the first time that a security team composed entirely of warriors has been used in welfare homes across the country.

Zhou Yang could understand the meaning of what the other party did. For those martial arts masters, changing their teaching venue would not have any impact. In an era when martial arts is declining, there are no martial arts schools that are willing to pay expensive rent to open in a busy city.

district?

As for the apprentices, they all paid tuition. They can collect money and get free rent. The master has no loss, and he can also gain face by selling a martial arts master like Zhou Yang, so why not do it.

This investment alone can save the welfare home from investing at least millions of dollars every year. However, Zhou Yang also considered that most of the apprentices in martial arts gyms rarely stay in the martial arts gym full time, and they basically do it for hobbies.

If you really count, there are no more than one hand of martial artists from each family stationed in the martial arts hall.

I'm afraid it's impossible to fully maintain the security of the orphanage with these personnel.

From this point of view, Zhou Yang felt that at least two martial arts schools needed to be stationed at the same time to ensure the security of the orphanage. After half a day of consideration, Zhou Yang decided to invite two martial arts schools in Nanzhou City named Zhengdong Martial Arts School and Xianglong Martial Arts School.

The family moved into the welfare home at the same time.

As for how to cooperate between the two martial arts schools, Zhou Yang simply left it to Yue Feng to consider.

It's a coincidence that the masters of these two martial arts schools have a good relationship with Geng Weihai. They are from the same lineage. In terms of seniority, the masters of the two martial arts schools even call Geng Weihai "master uncle".

Although the master only has external strength, and the apprentices have not even reached external strength, they are more than enough as security personnel.

After the security personnel are confirmed, now only the medical personnel are left. I am afraid that there is no way to improve it before the year, and we can only wait until the next year to find a solution.

Time passes day by day, and in a blink of an eye, it is New Year's Eve, which is the New Year's Eve that Chinese people are eagerly looking forward to.

It was time for outsiders to go home, and the whole of Nanzhou seemed to be much quieter all of a sudden.

On this morning, Zhou Yang received news from Jiang Tianming that the land purchase had been completed and construction would start on the tenth day of the new year.

Zhou Yang had to lament the power of connections again. If the Jiang family hadn't intervened this time, even if the Zhou family had Zhou Weijin who was the secretary of the Jiawang District Party Committee, it would have been difficult to do what he wanted to do so quickly.

On the afternoon of New Year's Eve, Zhou Yang stayed at his ancestral home and never went out.

The Zhou family had been busy for a year and finally had a few days of leisure. According to the Chinese New Year custom, everyone except Zhou Weijin and Zhou Yang joined in the purchase of new year's goods.

In the evening, Ji Guangsheng and his daughter Ji Rumo also came to the ancestral home. Due to Ji Rumo's illness in the past few years, Ji Guangsheng spent almost all his savings and still owed a lot.

At first, those relatives knew about the situation of Ji Guangsheng's family and were afraid that the other party would borrow money from him. When the last few relatives saw him, they tried to hide away. It was only when he was desperate that Ji Guangsheng was willing to give up his old face and apply for that special bodyguard job.

.

It was also that bodyguard job that allowed him to get acquainted with Jiang Tianming and Zhou Yang, and at the same time changed his and his daughter's lives.

In the past two days, after the wages paid to him by the Jiang family were received, he has been staying in his hometown and paid off all the money he owed in the past, leaving tens of thousands of dollars left.

The middle-aged Ji Guangsheng was deeply moved by his fate, and after much thought, he decided to return to Zhou Yang to celebrate the New Year together.

In the evening, the Zhou family ancestral temple.

The so-called ancestral temple is just a separate wing in the southeast corner of the Zhou family's old house. In addition to enshrining Buddha statues, there are also memorial tablets for the ancestors of the Zhou family.

The tablets of Zhou Yang's adoptive parents are among them.

"From right to left, in order are Guanyin, Zao Lord, Manjusri, Zhong Kui, Well God..." Listening to the old man's words, Zhou Yang personally arranged the Bodhisattva statues folded with yellow paper on the incense table according to the old man's instructions.

Inviting Bodhisattvas is a big tradition for Nanzhou people. Of course, each family has its own different small traditions. Zhou Yang, who knew nothing about it, didn't want to do this at first, but he couldn't overcome the old man's persistence. In the other person's words, you will be the Zhou family from now on.

The head of the family, these things can only be done by the head of the family.

It seems that the old man is determined to make Zhou Yang the head of the Zhou family.

Zhou Weijin looked at the grandfather and grandson with a mix of envy and frustration. He understood these traditions. In the years when the old man was demented, he was also in charge, but now the old man said it without hesitation.

He is not qualified.

"Aguai, have you ever heard of these gods?" Zhou Yang, who was busy at work, suddenly asked the aguai in the sea of ​​consciousness with interest.

Combined with the passages about gods he had heard from myths and stories, Zhou Yang, who is a cultivator himself, believes that he will also have the methods of these gods in the future. So, according to this, he can also become a god in the future?

"I've never heard of it. Maybe these people are the earliest cultivators in this world, but that's not right. There are Taoists, Buddhists, and demon cultivators here. It's too confusing. I've seen a lot of people from other worlds.

, the belief over there is more specific." Aguai's words were babbling.

"When you reach the Tiantong realm, you will understand that the power of faith is also a method of cultivation." At this point, Aguai stopped talking and seemed not to be interested in this at all.

It took half an hour, and under the guidance of the old man, Zhou Yang finally made all the preparations for the sacrifice.

As the old man spoke, the Zhou family all entered the ancestral temple from the outside.

With the support of Zhou Yang, the old man worshiped in turn from right to left. After the old man finished worshiping, Zhou Yang continued to worship, and then it was the turn of the younger generations of the Zhou family.

"Remember these, you may have to do it alone in the future." Before leaving the ancestral temple, the old man looked behind him reluctantly and said to Zhou Yang.

At dinner, the Zhou family gathered together. This was the first time in five years that Zhou Yang "went home" to celebrate the New Year. There were not so many pretentious feelings, and everything was put aside with that annual meeting.

The old man ignored the dissuasion and drank a lot that night, constantly lamenting the uncertainty of the world. This year, because of Zhou Yang's participation, although the New Year's Eve dinner was not as lively as in previous years, for some reason, Zhou Weijin and the others felt more comfortable.

Late at night.

Nanzhou City is shrouded in splendor.
