Rebirth in 1958: Getting rich starts from Nanluoguxiang

Chapter 1340 A Balance of Kindness and Strictness is Essential to Win Hearts and Minds

Da Bao and Zuo Mingyue quickly put their second and third daughters back into the stroller. They then transformed into two fawning little people, starting to flatter Niu Niu and Nuan Nuan.

After much coaxing and countless unequal agreements, Nuannuan and Niuniu reluctantly agreed not to tell their parents what happened today.

The Lou family's business is now very successful. With Guo Yingnan's support, no gang dares to mess with them. As a result, Lou Bancheng became very close to Guo Yingnan. He learned from Guo Yingnan that Da Bao had returned and had been appointed as the head of the Security Bureau.

So she asked Guo Yingnan and Da Bao to contact them and get their consent before visiting the Qin family. Lu Xiu'e didn't know Lou Bancheng, but Qin Qingyou knew him very well; he was his former employer.

Meeting an old friend in a foreign land, Qin Qingyou and Lou Bancheng became friends under Lou Bancheng's deliberate arrangement. The two were very close. Today, Lou Wancheng invited Qin Qingyou and Lu Xiu'e to his home. They were probably very happy and had not returned yet.

Da Bao misses Xiao Erduo and Lian Hu, but they've already gone to Haojiang on behalf of Dongxing and Guo Yingnan, so Da Bao won't be able to see them until the day after tomorrow.

Just as the family was enjoying a happy time together, Piggy stumbled in, looking exhausted. He slumped onto the sofa, then froze, his big, bright eyes meeting his gaze...

Piggy rubbed his eyes hard, confirming that the eyes were on a white tiger's head. He jumped up in fright and hurriedly hugged Niu Niu and Nuan Nuan, saying repeatedly.

“Baby, don’t be afraid. Uncle Piggy is fat enough to feed this tiger. Tiger, you can eat me and that’s fine, but don’t eat my two babies.”

Da Bao and Zuo Mingyue were dumbfounded. Da Bao couldn't help but poke his chubby face with his finger.

"You may have enough for the tiger to eat, but what about the other animal? Why should you feed the tiger and not the other animal?"

Piggy then remembered Da Bao and Zuo Mingyue. He was about to call out to the young master and young mistress to run when he noticed a tall white wolf standing next to him. The wolf rolled its eyes at him, then opened its mouth wide, revealing its fangs. There was a piece of chicken stuck between its teeth, making it feel a little uncomfortable.

The white wolf made gurgling noises in its throat, and Piglet inexplicably understood what it was saying. It seemed to be saying, "Do me a favor and remove the stuff stuck in your teeth, or I won't mind eating you."

Piggy looked around and found a fruit knife used for peeling apples. He used the knife to remove the piece of chicken. White Wolf mumbled a few words, yawned, and lay down at Da Bao's feet.

Piggy was terrified and broke out in a cold sweat. He pointed at the little tiger and the white wolf, his lips trembling. Just then, a low growl came from behind him. He turned around and saw a big black bear leading a red horse in.

Piggy couldn't hold on any longer, his eyes rolled back and he fainted. He didn't know how much time had passed when he felt something soft patting his face, and something wet licking his face.

Piggy barely opened his eyes, intending to sit up, but instantly froze. He saw a red horse licking his face with its tongue, and then felt something pat his face—a bear paw bigger than his own.

Seeing that Piggy had woken up, Little Bear turned his head and growled twice at Da Bao, who was playing cards. Da Bao waved his hand impatiently.

"Oh, I know, I know, can't you see I'm losing?"

The tiger cub had just poked its head over, ready to lick the little pig fat, when the bear cub slapped it away. The tiger's tongue had barbs, and if it had licked the little pig fat, it would have needed plastic surgery.

The little tiger growled a few times at the little bear cub. Da Bao, who was playing cards with Zuo Mingyue and Niu Niu, said impatiently.

"Isn't that obvious? Niu Niu, Nuan Nuan and the children can't lick it, and neither can this fat uncle. If you were to lick it, half your face would be gone!"

Enraged, the little tiger jumped over and headbutted Da Bao. Da Bao's face was covered in paper slips. He slapped the little tiger aside, saying, "You little brat, don't you know your place? Can't you see that you're losing all the time?"

Without using any cheat codes, Da Bao was terrible at cards, yet he kept asking for more. This led to Niu Niu and Zuo Mingyue bombarding him with questions, but neither of them got a single note in their faces. Only the white wolf next to him looked aggrieved and wanted to cry, its eyes covered by the notes.

As for Nuannuan, she had already gone to sleep with the triplets. Babies need to sleep for more than ten hours a day, so of course the older sister had to stay with them.

The little bear cub brought a glass of water to the little piglet, who then hugged the red tile's neck and went outside. Like the little red horse, it couldn't sleep inside.

Piggy, holding a cup of water, called out to the little bear cub's retreating figure, "Thank you!" The little bear cub waved its paw and walked away without looking back.

Da Bao knocked all the notes off his face and patted Niu Niu's bottom.

"Go to bed with your sister-in-law right away. Kids shouldn't stay up late."

Zuo Mingyue knew that Da Bao had something to say to Zhu Youzai, so she pulled the reluctant Niu Niu upstairs.

Xiao Dao came over to tidy up the notes and playing cards, while Uncle Qing brought over two bowls of wontons and walked over quietly.

Piggy was starving, so he picked up a bowl of wontons and started eating. It wasn't until the third one that he started to enjoy the taste. The wontons were filled with shrimp and pork, and they were really delicious.

He finished the wontons in a few bites, still wanting more. Da Bao waved, and Uncle Qing brought over another bowl, which Zhu Youzai then ate with relish.

"Eat slowly. This is the chef at home. He recreated the exquisite wontons of Emperor Qianlong. We've been having this for supper for a while now. If you like it, we'll have it whenever you come over."

Piggy chuckled and replied, "Yes." He'd discovered recently that interacting with the young master didn't actually involve as many rules, and he didn't need to be so careful with his words.

Lei Luo is a thoughtful person, or in other words, a suspicious person. He will think about every word others say three times. Piggy knows him well, so he is always very careful when speaking in front of him.

On the contrary, he found it very pleasant to get along with the young master. He could say whatever came to mind, and even if he said something wrong, Da Bao would not get angry. Only then did Zhu Youzai realize that this was the true demeanor of a person in a high position, and being with him was like a gentle breeze.

"You must be exhausted these past few days, right? Being a godfather isn't about helping them plan their gangs, but about helping them solve problems. Don't micromanage everything. Every gang has its strengths and weaknesses in its formation and development. Your job is to control. If you feel that any gang is veering out of your control, then wipe it out completely."

A balance of kindness and severity is necessary, but most of the time, small favors are used to win people over, while greater authority is needed to control them.
