That night at home, when he was talking about the expansion of his family restaurant, his son Li Xiuyuan said this to stop him. He listened and believed it, but now he is deeply touched.
When the couple runs the store, it's okay for customers from the neighborhood to come and support us, but we still have to provide them with the services they deserve. This is considered taking care of your business.
But now that his son Li Xiuyuan has come to the store in person, everyone’s attitude has changed again. This is the reality.
Having lived for most of his life, Li Jianguo once again realized how realistic reality is.
Li Xiuyuan worked hard in the restaurant until it closed at night before going out with his parents. Even though his parents seemed to have relaxed, for Li Xiuyuan, running a restaurant was still tiring.
At the end of the day, even a young man would feel tired, let alone his parents of this age.
"Mom and Dad, when the money I put in the stocks makes a profit, you can relax a little and close this small restaurant. You can grow flowers, go fishing, etc. when you have nothing to do, and retire early with ease." Li Xiuyuan couldn't help but speak as he watched his father holding his waist and gently pounding it.
Li Jianguo didn't take it seriously. He smiled and nodded, saying, "Okay, that's great. I'll play cards and tend to the flowers in the future so your mother can have a good rest."
Li Xiuyuan nodded and said, it will be soon, it will only take two days at most.
At seven o'clock on Monday morning, Li Xiuyuan was ready to get up, pack up and go to work. The good thing about being light is that he felt refreshed after waking up from a good sleep. He didn't feel like the middle-aged man who woke up with a slumber but still felt tired and confused.
When I arrived at the company, Mr. Zhu was already there and was cleaning the office.
"Brother Zhu, I'm coming, I'm coming."
"Well, it's all the same. It feels like moving to a new office. I got up early this morning and was thinking about coming here." Old Zhu said with a smile. He didn't say this to flatter Li Xiuyuan, he was really thinking about it in his heart. With the tables and chairs replaced and their positions changed, the government office comprehensive department where he had worked for more than ten days felt like a new unit, with a sense of freshness.
"Haha, it seems our efforts were not in vain." Li Xiuyuan said.
The smile on Old Zhu's face became even wider. This is the art of language. If Li Xiuyuan said "My efforts were not in vain", it would be equivalent to thinking that all the credit was his. However, the word "we" made Old Zhu feel a sense of participation and a sense of honor.
Soon after, Wang Zhitao, Li Boyang, and Yang Shaoshen all arrived. They all came earlier than usual. Although they had arranged it on Saturday and I already knew what it would look like, I still felt surprised when I arrived on Monday.
Huang Wei and Sister Zhang arrived one after the other. When they arrived, it was already past seven fifty and they were about to go to work. Both of them had a vague resistance to coming to work today.
The moment they pushed open the door of the General Affairs Department's office, the two of them were stunned, their eyes wide open. Huang Wei even looked up at the sign on the office door that read "General Affairs Department". If it weren't for this sign and the people in the General Affairs Department, they would have almost thought they were in the wrong place.
Compared to the office style that seems to be from the 1990s, the modern comprehensive department has a completely modern style.
The entrance opens to a greenery area. The few pots of greenery aren't particularly lush, but they're still pleasant to the eye. In the corner, there's an L-shaped display case containing certificates, medals, and trophies awarded for various scientific disciplines. Two pots of green radish sit nearby...
Next up are the uniformly walnut-colored desks and chairs, arranged side by side. At first glance, the lines are sharp, creating a sense of order, with each item in its proper place. The empty aisle in the middle makes the entire office appear even more spacious and bright.
The last part is divided into two areas by eight 1.2-meter-high white metal cabinets. One is the office area with printers, copiers and other equipment, and the other is a tea room with a water dispenser. A4 transparent document boxes of uniform specifications are placed on the top of the white metal cabinets, and some banners are hung above them.
The entire comprehensive subject feels like it’s from a completely different era compared to before.
