Bai Zhenzhu hesitated to speak.

“Brother, don’t be rash. How many times have your promotion opportunities been ruined by your hot temper? I even met that powerful Pan San-ge you mentioned before. Even someone as capable as him couldn’t stay at his workplace.”

It was clear that in a workplace, courage alone wasn’t enough – one needed strategy.

Courage easily leads to impulsiveness, and impulsiveness could destroy one’s future.

Lacking strategy wasn’t a serious problem – one could follow smart people. Bai Zhenzhu trusted Xia Xiaolan because Xiaolan was leading her in a positive direction. She hoped her brother would also trust Team Leader Zhou and not waste the help he offered.

“What do you mean?”

If Zhenzhu had said she didn’t care, Bai Zhiyong would have been very disappointed.

Fortunately, Bai Zhenzhu didn’t disappoint him. She pointed at the group of martial brothers outside: “Without the martial arts school, we’re just scattered sand. Many of our martial brothers aren’t doing well. I can help some find work, but I can’t take care of everyone.

I’m the Bai family’s daughter, and my martial arts aren’t as good as my brother’s. How can all the martial brothers submit to me?

When the martial arts school was still open, thugs like Ke Yixiong wouldn’t dare provoke us. I want to bring the school’s people back together, find work for everyone, improve their living conditions, and not let others trample on our dignity anymore. Brother, will you help me?”

Bai Zhenzhu didn’t think of herself as just a woman, but others saw her that way.

She needed Bai Zhiyong to step up and help her gather their martial brothers.

With Li Dongliang and Ge Jian’s examples, the martial brothers should see the situation. She still could settle them well.

Everything was ready, waiting only for the right moment.

The catalyst was Ke Yixiong’s arrogance at the wedding banquet, and also Bai Zhiyong’s approval!

Her brother would develop his career at his workplace – he couldn’t engage in fights with Ke Yixiong. She would handle such matters. Bai Zhenzhu’s eyes shone brightly as Bai Zhiyong slammed the table:

“Tell me, what do you want to do?”

Bai Zhenzhu had already planned it out. “I’ve been working with Xiaolan for a long time, always learning from her. She often says the era of violence is over, everything needs to be done with brains…

Fighting Ke Yixiong’s men won’t achieve much. He doesn’t want to be a gang leader anymore; he wants to make money in Pengcheng. The businesses he’s doing now – which one can’t our Bai family martial brothers do?”

Not to mention contracting construction sites, transporting construction waste, and operating sand quarries – weren’t all these businesses secured by Ke Yixiong’s men through force?

Ke Yixiong might have more men, but the Bai family martial school valued quality over quantity. Even their least skilled brothers could each handle several opponents.

Like Li Dongliang and Ge Jian, who were highly skilled – unless firearms were involved, ordinary grown men couldn’t beat them.

Few people learn real martial arts nowadays. If Bai Zhenzhu led these capable martial brothers to Pengcheng, she was confident they could compete with Ke Yixiong for territory – Ke Yixiong had gone too far, and Bai Zhenzhu had endured him for too long!

Not only would they compete for territory, but also provide a livelihood for their martial brothers.

While others were studying and learning technical skills, these men were practicing martial arts. Others could work in factories and organizations, but now these martial brothers could only find odd jobs.

Before the Reform and Opening Up, nobody had much money, but now that it had arrived, some clever and bold people were already getting rich. The people from the Bai family martial school were falling behind, and Bai Zhenzhu feared some might turn to the wrong paths, unable to bear the disparity.

Leading people to compete with Ke Yixiong for business wasn’t exactly the righteous path, but at least she could keep an eye on her martial brothers.

Bai Zhiyong hadn’t expected his sister to have such ambitions, but once Bai Zhenzhu explained, he listened carefully.

Others might have criticized Bai Zhenzhu for being unrealistic and worried about her marriage prospects. Bai Zhiyong had no such concerns – his sister could earn money and fight, so why couldn’t she get married? When she wanted to marry, she could go on arranged dates like him, and people would help introduce candidates.

If necessary, they could even find an age-appropriate young man from one of the elder martial brothers’ families to marry his sister!

Bai Zhiyong patted his sister’s shoulder:

“Come on, brother will help you!”

He walked with Bai Zhenzhu to face the remaining martial brothers, all of whom were particularly close to the Bai family. Li Dongliang and Ge Jian had already found their paths, but most others weren’t doing well.

Bai Zhiyong cupped his hands:

“Thank you all for honoring us today. Ke Yixiong’s provocation has filled us all with righteous anger. Now Zhenzhu has a proposal – would you brothers like to hear it?”

Bai Zhiyong briefly explained Bai Zhenzhu’s idea, leaving everyone stunned.

Reunite the Bai family martial school people, go to Pengcheng to do business, and deal with Ke Yixiong!

If Bai Zhiyong had proposed this, it would have seemed natural, but surprisingly, it came from Bai Zhenzhu.

Bai Zhenzhu stood quietly, less imposing than her brother, but dressed in men’s clothes, her movements were not effeminate. Only her voice retained some feminine quality – if she didn’t speak, who would take her for a woman?

A martial brother couldn’t help asking: “Sister Zhenzhu, we hear your business in Pengcheng is doing well. Have you thought this through?”

Bai Zhenzhu nodded, “Should I enjoy prosperity alone while watching our brothers live in hardship? I’ve thought it through – we’ll make money together. Even if not everyone becomes extremely wealthy, becoming a ten-thousand-yuan household isn’t difficult!”

Li Dongliang and Ge Jian had already become ten-thousand-yuan households.

Bai Zhenzhu was willing to accept lower profits to reunite the Bai family martial school!

The brothers knew about Li Dongliang and Ge Jian’s current situation, and finally, someone spoke up:

“Since Zhiyong has spoken, Sister represents the Bai family’s banner. Whatever Sister says, I’ll follow!”

Once someone broke the silence, others didn’t hesitate long.

Scattered sand was always bullied; their former glory was gone. Following their young sister might be a new path.

Bai Zhenzhu showed a satisfied smile.

She hadn’t expected to have the chance to pick up the Bai family martial school’s banner again.

Xiaolan was right – one needed the capability to take care of others. Her previous gesture of giving the fruit stand to her martial brother showed loyalty but wasn’t smart enough!

Ke Yixiong could never have imagined that his attempt to trample on the Bai family’s dignity would allow Bai Zhenzhu to revitalize the family.

Look down on women?

Women could inherit family businesses too.

Women could even transform and expand their ancestral business – Ke Yixiong had brought this upon himself, creating his competitor. Bai Zhenzhu gathered helpers to live better lives, with one slogan being to stand tall and not be bullied – naturally, making Ke Yixiong their target.

First step: compete with Ke Yixiong’s business – whatever he did, she would lead people to do the same.

A transport team? If Ke Yixiong could do it, so could she.

If they couldn’t afford transport vehicles, they didn’t necessarily need to buy them – couldn’t they rent? Couldn’t they buy used vehicles? There were always alternative solutions – a living person wouldn’t die from holding their urine!
