Chapter 182 Preparation for Studying Abroad
Zhang Shiye looked at the foreman and said, "My construction site is a government-supported project, not a place for bullies to run wild. It's a good thing that you are capable, but you have to pay attention to the methods and ways. Physical violence is not recommended. This is not the first time, but I hope it will be the last time."
Then he looked at the new worker and said, "It's not easy to find a job. Are you so arrogant in other places? Are you here to work and make money or to mess up my place?"
The new worker said hastily, "No, I just can't stand his noisy appearance. If I could talk to him nicely, I wouldn't have a conflict with him!"
Zhang Shiye nodded, "Okay, let him apologize to you, and this won't happen again!"
After everyone left, Zhang Shiye brought Ding Yi to the temporary office.
Zhang Shiye sat in the office chair and said to Ding Yi: "Sit down, I have something to tell you."
After Ding Yi sat down, Zhang Shiye said, "I will go abroad to study in two months, which will take two years. This building will be ready in about fifteen months, and the remaining decoration will take another six months. It will be almost time for me to come back. You are capable, so I will leave it to you for the next two years. My eldest brother will take care of the chores on the construction site, and you just need to use your connections. Remember not to be stingy with what you should take care of, and don't lose the big picture for a little money."
Ding Yi looked at Zhang Shiye in shock, "Boss, you are going abroad?"
Zhang Shiye nodded, "Why can't you bear to leave me?"
Ding Yi was amused. "It's not that I'm reluctant, but I'm a little uncomfortable. How come you make such a decision so quickly? You said you want a black market, so you do a black market. You said you want to open a restaurant, so you build a building. Now you said you want to study abroad, and you're gone for two years. I've been with you for so many years, but I'm still a little uncomfortable!"
Zhang Shiye rolled his eyes at him with disdain, "What do you mean you've been with me for so many years? I have a wife and you have a wife too, why are you talking so ambiguously?"
Ding Yi shut up and didn't know how to respond. In his mind, Zhang Shiye was a mysterious man who was not only capable and courageous, but most importantly, he had a wife who could do anything and followed him around. Although he and Xiaojiu could be considered a couple, they were still not as good as the eldest brother and his wife.
Zhang Shiye continued, "It's not like I can't come back during the past two years. My wife and I will come back during holidays. I also opened a video hall and a clothing store. My parents and a few brothers and sisters-in-law help to manage them. But they are all from the countryside. If they take big steps, they will attract jealousy. You can send four people to keep an eye on them. The salary will be calculated based on the current rate. I will reconcile the accounts with Xiaojiu before I leave, and I will also keep a passbook. From now on, the salary will be left to you and Xiaojiu!"
Ding Yi nodded, "Don't worry, Boss. You have always trusted me and Xiaojiu over the years. We will never let you down. Just focus on your gilding. When you come back, I will definitely give you a satisfactory result."
Zhang Shiye nodded, explained some more things, and then got up to go to Xia's house to pick up his wife.
Xia Wanyang also told her mother about her plan to study abroad. Her mother supported them very much. She was relieved that the couple went out together. Besides, her daughter had a trump card to save her life. But when it came to food, she couldn't help but frowned, "Are you used to the food abroad? How about this? I will take the children to live in your house for a while and make some more food for you. You can put it in the space?"
Xia Wanyang lazily leaned on the sofa and refused: "Dad will not be used to it if you leave. Food can be prepared at any time. Before you leave, I will buy some more vegetables and meat and put them in the space. Zhang Shiye can cook anything. Yueyue likes to live with you. I promised her. My room is empty anyway, so let her live there."
Mother Xia curled her lips and said, "Did you see it? In the end, you are still concerned about your own children!"
Xia Wanyang heard the hidden meaning and quickly sat over to hug her mother's arm. "Oh, mom, although I can come back during the holidays, I will still be away for a long time. Xingxing and Yueyue are still so young. I can only entrust them to you and my parents-in-law. You will share the burden for me, right?"
Mother Xia patted her daughter's head and said, "Of course, don't worry about studying. Mom will take good care of the child for you. When I have nothing to do, I will take her to your parents-in-law's house. Just take care of yourself. Two years will pass quickly!"
After Zhang Shiye arrived, Xia's mother gave her many more instructions. Xia Wanyang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, as if she was leaving tomorrow.
The two went to the store again and gave the money for materials and the wages of the renovation workers to Old Man Yuan before leaving.
Finally, he went to the store and bought a lot of vegetable seeds. Zhang Shiye then used his relationship in the purchasing department to contact an old friend at the slaughterhouse and directly grabbed five piglets and threw them into the space.
In the next few days, Zhang Shiye didn't go anywhere. He locked himself in the kitchen and cooked one dish after another. He also asked Xia's mother to make a lot of dumplings and steamed buns.
You can do it there, and do some just in case.
Xia Wanyang moved the TV to her parents-in-law's place, as well as the VCR, bicycles, and some things that everyone could use. She also asked someone to bring the phone over so that when they called home there would be no one to answer.
The entire small western-style building was empty. The quilts and clothes were placed in the cabinets in the space, leaving only a bed in the bedroom. On the surface, the two of them packed a few large boxes, but the things inside were generally small and light items. The kitchen items were also moved to the mother-in-law's house, and they went there for meals during this period.
After a few more days, the store was finally completely renovated. After paying the final payment, Xia Wanyang and Zhang Shiye hung up all the clothes one by one under the cover of night.
The VCRs and televisions needed for the video room were also placed in appropriate locations. Everything was ready, just waiting to open. When decorating the room, Xia Wanyang ingeniously reserved a smaller room as a store, which was filled with all kinds of snacks, sodas, popcorn and other food.
The next day, Xia Wanyang brought the whole family to the store. Aunt Qiao was so amazed at the decoration inside and outside. She never thought that she could be a boss at an age when she could be a grandmother.
The final division of labor was that Yuan Hong and He Hua were responsible for selling clothes. The store was relatively large, so they hired three young girls as clerks. Eldest sister-in-law Su Man took Yang Yang to look after the store and sell goods. Aunt Qiao was responsible for selling tickets to the video hall and shouting to attract customers. Zhang Heping was responsible for screening and maintaining order, as well as cleaning.
Xia Wanyang placed two thousand videotapes on the shelf, and Old Man Yuan even made a ladder for easy access. There were glass doors on the shelf, so one could see at a glance what they wanted to watch.
Zhang Shifeng also moved the crib into the store so that little Yangyang could play by himself when he had nothing to do, and it would not interfere with Su Man's sales.
Ding Yi sent four tall and strong men to keep the situation under control. Zhang Shiye didn't need them to do anything. All they were asked to do was ensure everyone's safety and help Zhang Heping climb up to the top to get the belt.
Everything was ready and the formalities were completed on the same day. Zhang Shiye went to the printing factory to make a lot of posters and receipts, and also made two frames of the business procedures and hung them in a conspicuous place.
Xia Wanyang thought about it, ran to the space and took out a waist bag and a loudspeaker. When Aunt Qiao put on the bag and took the loudspeaker, it really looked like the real thing.
