"I'll have someone come help you move your things upstairs.
I need to make some millet congee for Xiao Xi, so I won't be coming over," Guo Xuyang said.
"I'll do it. The things can stay in the car for now," Wu Jia replied.
"Can you?"
"I can handle both the parlor and the kitchen. Making congee is a piece of cake."
As Wu Jia spoke, she started towards the kitchen.
"Let me do it. You've just arrived and won't know where things are kept.
There's a saying, 'When you're new, you don't know where the stove is.'"
"Just tell me. We'll have to cook anyway when we get back," Wu Jia said quickly.
"Your kitchen is on the west side. The downstairs area is filled with rough guys, and they'll likely bother you when you return," Guo Xuyang said.
"Do we have to eat with them?" Wu Jia asked.
"No, you don't. But we won't object if you want to join us for meals."
"Let's skip that. I'm here to work, and I don't want to deal with those security guards," Wu Jia said.
"Wu Jia, don't underestimate these security guards. They are my brothers.
I won't go into detail about what they did before, but you'll get to know them as you spend more time together," Guo Xuyang said.
"No matter how capable they were before, they're just security guards now. How much can they achieve?"
Wu Jia clearly judged them by their appearance.
"Their annual salary is one million, not including bonuses," Guo Xuyang said.
He really couldn't stand Wu Jia's tone.
As human beings, who is inherently superior to another?
"One million? Mr. Guo, you're not joking, are you?" Wu Jia was stunned.
"There's no need for me to lie about this. You can ask them."
"What did they do to earn a million a year?"
"That's classified information, and I can't tell you."
"Aren't they just security guards? They watch surveillance cameras all day, prevent bad people from approaching and robbing, what else can they do?
This money is too easy to earn."
Yang Bin was also swayed by Wu Jia's words.
"I've noticed you both tend to judge people with prejudice, which isn't good.
There are reasons why they receive what they do," Guo Xuyang said.
"How about this, drive your car to the west gate. They'll help you carry your things upstairs.
I've already asked Brother Qi and the others to buy and set up your beds. They are bunk beds, see if they suit you.
If not, we'll exchange them."
"Thank you, Mr. Guo. For the congee, you might want to add some red dates to nourish the qi and blood.
They are good for pregnant women," Wu Jia said.
"I understand. You two go ahead first.
I'll call Brother Qi and have him send someone out to help you carry your things up."
Guo Xuyang then made a call.
"Brother Qi, Wu Jia and Yang Bin have arrived. Arrange for two people to help them carry their things upstairs."
"Okay, Yangzi. Sixzi and I will go help," Xiao Qi replied.
"Be united. You'll be together for a long time."
"I know, Yangzi. These brothers won't fight."
Wu Jia and Yang Bin exchanged confused glances, not understanding why Guo Xuyang said "you'll be together for a long time."
After greeting Guo Xuyang, the two drove their car into the west courtyard and saw two well-built men waiting for them outside.
"Yangzi asked us to wait for you. We'll carry any heavy items," Xiao Qi said.
"Thank you. There's nothing heavy, just two suitcases and some small items," Wu Jia replied.
"Give us the suitcases. You can carry the small items yourselves."
Xiao Qi stepped forward and took down the two suitcases.
"Give me one. You can carry the other one," Liu Zi quickly said.
"Here," Xiao Qi handed a slightly cartoonish suitcase to Liu Zi.
