Driven out of her home by her biased parents and cruel older sister, Su Tao decided to cut ties with them completely, vowing to rather starve, freeze, and wander outside for a lifetime than ever re...
After a long wait, Su Tao still didn't agree. When she left, Sheng Yuqing looked at her eagerly.
Zhuang Wan was not surprised at all when she heard this:
"Every time Sheng Yulan goes home, she tells her parents and sister all the good things about Taoyang. She praises you to the highest standards. In their eyes, following you is the best career path. Even staying in the military region is a hassle."
Su Tao waved her hands: "It's not suitable, it's not suitable. You don't know Sheng Yuqing's ability. Shi Zijin has already agreed. Staying in the military area is her best way out. If she follows me, she will just eat, drink, defecate, urinate and sleep every day. It's a waste of talent. I feel sad just thinking about it."
Zhuang Wan said, "Then you have some advice. By the way, I just arranged for the new employees to complete their onboarding procedures. Can you come and hold a meeting with everyone someday? I know you're busy, so please squeeze in some time!"
Su Tao said, "Okay, since there's not enough room in Taohua Building, let the sales and seed managers go to the second and third floors of Taoli Building to work temporarily. It's hard for them to run back and forth."
Zhuang Wan smiled and said, "It's not that hard at all. When these new employees saw our Taoli Building, they were all dazzled. Especially the large conference rooms on the second and third floors, and the tea rooms and everything else."
Su Tao's eyebrows lit up: "When I have time, I will also renovate Taohua Building."
The old Su family.
Su Jianming frowned, his beard untidy, and asked his second son in a low voice:
"I heard that one of your classmates went to work in Taoyang? Which classmate? What did he do before? Why didn't you take him with you?"
Su Zhenglan looked dejected. "It's a warehouse management position. I was lucky enough to get the job after just one interview. They said the probationary salary was 10,000 yuan. It's not high, but with meals and various allowances, it's about 15,000 or 16,000 yuan. And after becoming a regular employee, they'll give priority to living in Taoyang, and you can bring your family with you."
"And these new employees get to move into the new office building right after they start. I heard it's very grand, with new tables and chairs, a tea room, and free instant noodles for overtime."
The most infuriating thing is that she came to talk to him specifically, obviously showing off and putting him down.
It's embarrassing to say, because he told everyone that his sister was in Taoyang, so he definitely had a say.
As a result, he went there several times but didn't even get to see her.
Su Jianming looks much older, with half of his hair turning white:
"The benefits are really good. No place can offer such good treatment these days. Zhenglan, you should work harder. Dad is getting old, and the family still depends on you."
Su Zhenglan felt a tightness in his chest:
"Dad, I tried so hard, but they wouldn't even let me through the door. What can I do? I can't get through to my little sister. I guess she's blocked us all. Don't you understand? She won't help us anymore!"
Hearing this, Li Ronglian ran out holding the sugar beans, and said with red eyes:
"Find someone from Taoyang to tell her I'm going to die. I don't believe she's so hard-hearted that she wouldn't even see her own mother for the last time!"
Tangdou is now four years old and can speak clearly. He waves his hands and says:
"My aunt has no conscience! No conscience!"
Upon hearing this, Su Zhenglan said to Su Jianming unhappily:
"Dad! Look at her. Tangdou is so young, who taught her to say such things? That's how my little sister was forced away by them!"
Li Ronglian raised her voice, "Isn't that right? Now that she's found a rich and powerful man and has become rich, she's living a life of luxury in Taoyang. She's completely forgotten about her family and doesn't even care about us. Is that what you call having a conscience?"
"I can't make ends meet anymore! In two days, we're going to run out of food! I have a miserable life. The man I married is useless, my stepson is unfilial, my eldest daughter is in the army, and my youngest daughter has no conscience."
Su Zhenglan felt that this stepmother was really crazy. When life was good before, she would just cry softly, but now she has completely disregarded her dignity and is being unreasonable and cursing.
He looked at his dilapidated home and so-called relatives in front of him, said nothing, and began to pack his luggage.
Su Jianming had a bad feeling and asked, "Zhenglan, what are you doing?"
Su Zhenglan said without raising his head:
"I'm so tired. This family is worse than nothing. From today on, we're going to draw a clear line. I'm going to go to my younger sister alone. You guys take care of yourselves."
Having said that, no one could stop him. He picked up a small bag and never looked back.
Behind him was Li Ronglian crying in despair and Su Jianming's staggering figure.
In the afternoon, as agreed, Pei Dong came to pick up Su Tao to select people.
Su Tao got on the car and turned around to find an acquaintance sitting in the back, Xing Shuyu.
It's been a long time since I last saw her, but I often see her parents. The old couple lives a happy life in Taoyang. From time to time, they visit Mr. Mei and Mr. Gu to chat and play chess, and live a happy old age.
Su Tao found it funny when she recalled that she was sent to Taoyang by her old leader to investigate.
But it also feels like a lifetime ago.
Before we knew it, Taoyang had been established for half a year.
Although they hadn't seen each other for a long time, Xing Shuyu didn't feel strange and started to complain to her:
"There were too many battles and not enough manpower, so I was temporarily transferred to the front line as a clerk. I just changed shifts yesterday, but I was taken away to entertain He Kang's group early this morning. My grandfather really doesn't treat me as his own child and wants to tire me to death."
"But Taozi, it's a shame you didn't see the expressions on Hekang and his group's faces. They looked at our guesthouse as if it were a palace. How ignorant!"
Su Tao was more concerned about how the old leader talked with them: "So, was the cooperation reached?"
Pei Dong was in a good mood, and it was obvious that the process was going smoothly. He nodded and smiled:
"It's done. Hekang has cotton and linen plantations and plastic factories. They will cooperate with us in the light industry. This will save the Dongyang enterprises."
Su Tao smiled: "That's good, the refrigerator full of drinks was not in vain."
Xing Shuyu yawned and said:
"The drinks played a huge role. Actually, they weren't very interested in cooperating at first, thinking Dongyang's industry was about to collapse, and they didn't want to take any risks. But when they saw all the drinks and brand new furniture, we didn't hide it and told them directly that it was your sponsorship."
"He Kang felt that Dongyang had such a powerful ally like Taoyang, so how could they be unreliable? He agreed without hesitation. They also wanted to come to Taoyang to take a look. We have not agreed yet and will come back to ask for your opinion."
Su Tao asked: "How many people are there?"
"Not many, five people, three men and two women."
Pei Dong added at the right moment: "They probably want to buy something from you. You can offer to exchange it for crystal cores. He Kang has hunted as many evolved zombies as we have. We can meet them."
Su Tao's eyes lit up immediately, and she leaned on the back of Pei Dong's seat and said with a smile:
"Sister Pei, you really understand me and always think of me."
Pei Dong pushed her face away with his long hand: "Don't be so annoying."
Xing Shuyu rubbed his arms, looked at Tao Yang who had completely changed, and asked:
"Taozi, where is my room? I'm so tired. I just want to go back and take a shower and sleep."
Su Tao spread her hands: "Go ask Zhuang Wan, I've forgotten where you live."
Xing Shuyu got out of the car angrily: "It was a mistake after all."
Su Tao looked at the personnel information in her hand. They were all young and promising talents, most of them were around 18 years old. Turning to the back, she saw Sheng Yuqing's name.
