Chapter 95 Children's Day Gift for Xiaoye

In the evening, after Xia Tian sent Ye Ningyu home.

He rode his bike non-stop to the bicycle shop closest to his home.

Xia Tian plans to buy Ye Ningyu a new bicycle on Children's Day tomorrow.

Because her bicycle was too old.

A few days ago, Xia Tian accidentally learned about it from Xiao Ye Zi.

The bicycle she rides now is a second-hand bicycle that her father bought from someone else when their family first moved to Bei'an.

So when it came to Xiaoye, no one knew how many years the previous owner had ridden it.

The brake pads alone were worn out and Xia Tian was worried that something dangerous might happen if she continued riding.

It was Children's Day, so I bought her a new one.

In addition, Xia Tian bought her a small pink bag last week.

Girls like to carry a small bag when they go out, but Xiao Ye often carries a white canvas bag that looks like it was sewn by her mother.

When I arrived at the bicycle shop, the owner was just about to close the shop.

"Don't worry, boss. I want to buy a bicycle!"

"We're closed tonight. Come back tomorrow if you want to buy."

When the boss heard that the customer wanted to buy a car, he was very happy, thinking that he could sell another one before closing the shop.

But when I turned around, I found that it was a high school student in school uniform, and I immediately lost interest.

It's obvious that this guy just wants to come and see the car in advance, and then persuade his parents on Children's Day tomorrow.

Whether you can buy it in the end is another matter.

So I immediately became impatient.

However, Xia Tian saw the change in his boss and immediately said, "No, boss, I've brought the money and can't wait until tomorrow. It's urgent!"

"Hmm? You've brought the money? Oh, come in, come in... It would be a shame to buy it tomorrow. Buy it today and ride it on Children's Day. You'll be the coolest kid in your school!"

The boss, who was smiling happily in the summer, couldn't help but twitch his eyes.

Damn, dogs change their expressions faster than women...

When Xia Tian walked into the store and just took a look around, his eyes were immediately attracted by the pink bicycle at the back.

He immediately pointed at the car and said to the boss: "Boss, this is the one we want. Please inflate the tires for me."

"Oh, young man, you have good taste. This just arrived in our store yesterday. The entire body is made of carbon fiber. It's super light and feels great. But you know the price. Carbon fiber is not cheap."

"It's okay, cheer yourself up and swipe your card."

Xia Tian waved his hand. He didn't care much about the price.

"Huh?! Are you sure, this car is 1399!"

"Yes, swipe the card."

Xia Tian said calmly, taking out a bank card from his pocket and handing it to the boss.

The boss' eyes widened.

Wow, it turns out he’s a kid from a wealthy family. I almost missed a big business deal just now!

......

After paying the money in the summer, I asked the boss to inflate the tires.

He rode his own bike in one hand and pulled the new bike he bought for Xiaoye with the other, and slowly returned home.

As soon as I parked the car and walked to the front door of my house and was about to open it, I heard a sound coming from the house.

"Brother Xia, the layoff list was sent directly from the factory director's office. We might really..."

"We are all experienced and skilled employees of the factory. Even if they want to lay us off, how could we be on the first list? How is this possible!"

"Alas... To be honest, the higher-ups don't care whether we are old employees or not. They only care whether we can create more benefits for them. Many people on the list have gone to Director Qiao's home to give gifts, hoping that their names can be replaced, because the list now published is only a preliminary layoff list, and there are still two days to fight for it."

"Guan Yi, let's not play this game between our two families. To put it nicely, it's called giving gifts, but to put it bluntly, it's just giving money... You have a good relationship with our old Xia, so just tell us how much money you have to give."

"This...will cost at least fifty thousand."

Then, the three people in the room fell silent.

Xia Tian heard these conversations outside the door and his brows immediately frowned.

I know Guan Yi Xia Tian who is talking to my parents in the video.

In his previous life, after Old Xia died of lung cancer, Guan Yi helped a lot at the funeral. Xia Tian also helped Guan Yi's son find a job with a good annual salary as a way to thank Guan Yi for his help to their family over the years.

But the biggest question now is, why would Guan Yi say that he and Lao Xia are on the first batch of layoff lists?

What is going on?

In the previous life, it was clear that only Guan Yi was on the first batch of layoffs list, but why is Lao Xia also on the first batch of list this time?

While Xia Tian was thinking, Xia Zhengguo, who was silent in the room, sighed heavily.

"Forget it. Fifty thousand yuan is equivalent to our annual salary. If we give this gift away, wouldn't it mean that all our work for the next year will be in vain?"

"Hey, Brother Xia, I think if we can give this gift, we should give it. Now that we are unemployed at our age, it is really troublesome to find a job. And even if we can find one, we may not be able to find a more satisfactory and stable job."

After Guan Yi finished speaking, Xia Tian heard him move the chair away, and then Guan Yi walked out the door: "Brother Xia, Sister Chen, I'm leaving first, you guys think about this."

Xia Tian was startled and wanted to go downstairs immediately.

But Guan Yi opened the door so quickly that he had no time to get down.

Just like that, after Guan Yi opened the door, he saw Xia Tian lying at the door and eavesdropping.

Guan Yi's face was filled with astonishment. Chen Meijuan and Xia Zhengguo also looked at Xia Tian in surprise.

Seeing this, Xia Tian could only scratch his head and greet Guan Yi: "Guan, Uncle Guan, are you planning to go back...?"

"Xiao, Xiaotian, you are done with school."

Guan Yi's face was filled with embarrassment.

Xia Tian's action clearly showed that he had heard all their conversations.

Guan Yi's face changed, and he immediately comforted him: "Xiaotian, don't think too much about your father being laid off. You are about to take the college entrance examination, so focus on the exam!"

"I know Uncle Guan."

"You, I... Hey, Sister Chen and Brother Xia, since Xiaotian knows everything, you should stop hiding it from him."

Guan Yi shook his head, hunched over, and hurried downstairs.

At this time, Chen Meijuan finally reacted and looked at Xia Tian with some blame: "Kid, when did you learn to eavesdrop on adults' conversations?"

Then, he said in a comforting tone, "Since you heard it, I won't hide it from you. Your father's company has released a list of layoffs, and he is on the first batch of layoffs."

"But it's not a big problem. With your father's skills, he will definitely find a new job soon. I will support you and your son during this period!"

Chen Meijuan patted her chest and looked as if to say, "It's all my responsibility."

Xia Zhengguo was sitting on the sofa smoking a cigarette. He wanted to say something, but after opening his mouth several times, no words came out.

Perhaps the helplessness of an adult is that he is hesitant to speak.

"Mom, the responsibility of supporting the family during this period will be entirely yours. I will be responsible for studying, and my dad will be the head of the family!"

"Dad, don't be too discouraged. If you are laid off, then so be it. Anyway, the working environment in your company is not good. Being a spray painter is too harmful to your lungs. It's a good time to take a break and change jobs."

Xia Tian smiled, without showing any strange expression on her face.

This made Chen Meijuan and Xia Zhengguo look at him in surprise.

They thought Xia Tian would be very worried about this matter and it would affect his studies.

But I didn’t expect Xia Tian to accept it so easily?

"Son, you..."

"Oh, it's just a job, it's not that serious."

Xia Tian waved his hands and looked indifferent.

"Oh, by the way, Dad, is your factory manager called Qiao Wu?"

Xia Zhengguo was stunned for a moment and said, "Yes."

Xia Tian nodded, narrowed his eyes, and then said: "Okay, then I'll go back to my room to do my homework. You two don't have to be so sad. If you lose your job, just find another one."

Under the surprised looks of Chen Meijuan and Xia Zhengguo, Xia Tian returned to his room with his schoolbag.

But the smile on his face also disappeared.

Only then did he understand what Qiao Shaoxuan meant by what he said in the afternoon.

It turns out that Qiao Shaoxuan's father is the director of Lao Xia's factory, and the layoffs in this life are different from those in the previous life.

It is likely that Xia Tian threw Qiao Shaoxuan out of the Museum of Broken Relationships a few days ago, causing Qiao Shaoxuan to hold a grudge against him.

This caused a butterfly effect, causing Lao Xia to be laid off early.

After all, Xia Tian had no conflict with Qiao Shaoxuan in his previous life, so naturally there would be no case of Qiao Shaoxuan interfering with the factory's layoffs.

Thinking of this, a hint of ferocity appeared in Xia Tian's eyes.

"Although it is inevitable that Lao Xia will be laid off, it is another matter if you, Qiao Shaoxuan, are behind this..."

Before long, Xia Tian quickly figured out how to help Lao Xia solve the problem of early unemployment.

He opened the address book.

He paused for a moment on Jiang Jianwei's column and finally dialed it.
