The next morning, things turned out exactly as Huo Haocheng had expected. For the first time ever, he stayed in bed with her for a while, which lasted for half an hour. So by the time they finished getting ready and had breakfast, it was already past 9 o'clock.
When they drove to the factory to pick up Zheng Xuyang, he had just finished going over the accounts for the month with Lu Shuyan. He knew the couple quite well, and considering what Huo Haocheng had said yesterday, he arrived at the factory around 8 a.m. this morning. After having breakfast with Huo Haoshen and the others at the factory, he looked around the factory gate and, not seeing them, told the gatekeeper that they were looking for him and that he was waiting for them in his office.
So when the two of them finally arrived at the office late, they saw him and Lu Shuyan tidying up the bills they had checked and putting them into a file bag to seal them away.
"They're here." Seeing them arrive, Zheng Xuyang checked his watch. Good, they were 30 minutes late. Not bad.
"Are you done with work?" Ruan Ruan knew that being late was wrong, so even though she was the boss, she was being very careful.
"Okay, let's go then." Since so much time has already been wasted, any questions can be asked on the way. Perfect timing; after finishing his business at the charity, he still needs to go to the materials factory. The weather is nice now, and it's getting quite dark. Besides, the workers are all living on the construction site. Yesterday, he discussed it with several construction team leaders, and they all agreed to get off work late. Since that's the case, the previous quantity of materials won't be enough, so he needs to go and discuss increasing the quantity with them in person.
He had a pretty good idea of what Ruan Ruan was thinking, but he was really busy right now and didn't want to talk to them about why he was late. Anyway, he was working while they were late, so it wasn't a complete waste of time.
As the three drove into the city, Ruan Ruan said to him on the way, "Brother Xuyang, I asked you to come with me to the charity today for two reasons. First, I wanted you to get to know Uncle Kun and the others. Second, Uncle Kun and the others' original ideas differed from mine. So, I thought that in the future, if they are unsure about something and it's inconvenient for me, they can just contact you directly. For example, recently, because of my personal reasons, I couldn't leave the family compound, but Uncle Kun and the others were unsure about some things. Every time they called me, they would call back, but by the time they got back, they had other things to do. As a result, they couldn't communicate in a timely manner. So, I explained that you two should get to know each other first, so that if they are unsure about anything in the future, they can just ask you directly."
As she spoke, Ruan Ruan leaned against the back of the passenger seat, looking at Zheng Xuyang sitting in the back, unsure if he understood what she meant.
If he didn't understand, should I be even more direct? That wouldn't be good, Ruan Ruan thought to herself. But with Zheng Xuyang's clever mind, how could he not understand what she meant?
"What issues are there that Uncle Kun and the others can't make decisions about?" Based on Ruan Ruan's way of doing things and his understanding of her, once she has arranged the overall framework and details of the matter, she is completely hands-off. As long as things are done within this framework, she can make decisions on her own. He couldn't figure out what else he needed to consult her about.
"...Uh, about funding, and also about personnel arrangements." It would have been better if she hadn't asked, because once she did, Ruan Ruan felt that she and Uncle Kun and Uncle Du hadn't explained things clearly. She had told them to be fully responsible, but whether it was things that needed to be purchased for the office, or the job arrangements for the people Huo Haocheng had found for her, they would call her after discussing it, and only proceed after receiving her confirmation.
Ruan Ruan felt that such execution was too slow. During this period, she had been in the family compound, so it was easy to contact her. However, if she went out one day and did not have a phone with her, and they could not reach her for a while, would they just stop executing the plan?
This was completely different from her purpose in bringing them here. So, she had another purpose in bringing Zheng Xuyang along this time: to tell them through Zheng Xuyang that since she had handed over the power of the charity to them, as long as they did not break the law, they had absolute autonomy. They could decide whether or not to do something, and if they wanted to, they could just do it.
Hearing her say that, Zheng Xuyang understood. Putting aside the age gap between Uncle Kun and Uncle Du and the newcomers, even before, things were always arranged for them by others, and they only needed to carry them out. In their formal work, they had never made decisions and carried them out on their own, let alone had any contact or understanding with Ruan Ruan. Therefore, in their view, although they were nominally the heads of the charity, the real head was Ruan Ruan, and they were just executors, helping her manage the people below. So, when it came to issues involving funds and personnel arrangements, they naturally thought of reporting to their superiors first.
This contradicts Ruan Ruan's original intention, so he now understands why she came to him.
"Did you explain to them beforehand that the charity would be their responsibility, and that you wouldn't be involved in the minor details?" After understanding the situation, Zheng Xuyang was curious about what Ruan Ruan had told them. She had instructed them to report to her on everything, big or small, even if it was inconvenient to spend money on phone calls.
"I already said it!" Ruan Ruan looked at Zheng Xuyang's questioning gaze, then thought about it seriously, and looked at Huo Haocheng who was driving, hoping that he would say a few words for her. But seeing that he didn't want to get involved at all, she gave up and turned to look at Zheng Xuyang very seriously.
