The fat man went in and sat down with practiced ease. He looked around his office and then said, "This office is the first one upstairs, which implies that you like to handle everything, big or small, and that people should come to you first if there's anything."
The policeman listened with great interest, tossed him a cigarette, and said, "Anything else? Hurry up."
The fat man rolled his eyes, lit a cigarette, and said, "Besides, your office door is always open, and the main door is right in front of your desk. When someone comes in, before they even knock, you've already looked up at them like you're interrogating a criminal. That's why people generally don't want to come to your office."
The police officer seemed to be thinking to himself: "There are so many intricacies involved in such a small office."
The police officer then asked, "So, in your opinion, which one should I choose as my office?"
Without hesitation, the fat man replied, "The innermost room."
"Why?"
"Because if your office is at the very end of the corridor, if I want to come to you, I have to pass through at least four offices, and the doors of all those offices are open. It's very likely that as soon as I pass the first office, someone will come out and ask me, 'What do you want?' Wouldn't that unknowingly save you a lot of trouble?"
Police officers are not allowed to close their office doors during working hours, even in the dead of winter; it's a rule.
The fat man continued, "Also, having the office at the very back tells your subordinates that you don't have a strong desire for control, giving them a relaxed psychological suggestion. This way, your work can proceed more smoothly."
The police officer was impressed; no wonder this guy could do everything so well.
When leading the joint defense team, he was able to unite everyone into a cohesive force and develop combat capability in such a short time.
Later, he voluntarily resigned and went into business, eventually creating companies like "Where to Move" and Qilige.
The police officers had heard plenty of stories from Yu Shui about how relaxed the work environment was at their company.
Chen Yan only focuses on the big picture and ignores all the details. She doesn't blindly try to please customers, nor does she scold her workers indiscriminately.
Therefore, everyone under Chen Yan was willing to risk their lives for her.
"..."
The fat man sat with the policeman for a while and then left.
The police officer was very busy and preoccupied with moving offices, so he didn't have the extra energy to deal with him.
As expected, Yu Li had already gone to work when they got home, and Chen Mengqi had gone to school.
Fatty went to the backyard and saw that even Chen Yan had gone to work, which was unusual for her. Only Ben Lei Hu was left at home, coaxing Shi Tian Tian to go to preschool.
The fat man was immediately annoyed when he saw him, and couldn't help but reveal his capitalist face: "What time is it? You're still at home? Don't you want to quit?"
Benleihu glanced at him disdainfully: "My wife approved it, do you have a problem with that?"
The fat guy cursed "Damn it!" and then teased Shi Tiantian: "Why don't you want to go to school?"
Shi Tiantian twisted her little body like a pretzel: "No, school isn't fun! I can't play with toys, and I can't eat Bubu Star..."
Oh, Bu Bu Xing, that "big-nosed witch" printed on the bag makes Fatty miss it so much.
It's no exaggeration to say that this thing blows modern Leishi potato chips out of the water.
The bags also included small cards, which were very popular with students. This pioneered the card collecting trend.
The fat man deliberately tried to scare Shi Tiantian: "But if you don't go to school, you won't be educated, and without education, you can't become a scientist in the future..."
Shi Tiantian protested in her childish voice, "I don't want to be a scientist!"
Before the fat man could speak, Thunder Tiger exclaimed impatiently, "You kid, why don't you want to be a scientist?"
The fat man smacked him: "Why are you getting so worked up? She's such a young child, what does she know about scientists?"
Benleihu also came to his senses. Yes, how could such a young child know what a scientist is?
The fat man said to him, "Isn't it strange? When we were kids, most of us dreamed of becoming science and technology workers, that is, scientists. Even though we didn't even know what a worker was, we all wanted to be one in college. Why didn't you want to be one? So, we all just thought about it without really knowing what it meant."
Benleihu chimed in, "Yeah, when I grew up, I realized that being a scientist isn't easy. I'm not cut out for it. My parents, who had high hopes for us when we were young, no longer push us to become scientists. Just getting a job in the factory is already a blessing."
The fat man affectionately patted Shi Tiantian's head: "So, she's so young, yet she already knows what she wants. Isn't that more promising than you and me?"
Benleihu's eyes lit up, and he quickly went up to his daughter and asked her in a strange uncle's tone, "Tiantian, tell Daddy, what do you want to be when you grow up?"
Shi Tiantian said very seriously, "I want to be an athlete, just like Aunt Zhang Qian!"
"..."
The three children in the yard all seem to be precocious.
Take Chen Mengqi for example. In 1981, the Yonghe Temple was officially opened to the public.
In the internet age, everyone says that wishes made at Yonghe Temple are effective, so Fatty took Yu Li, Chen Yan and the others there to burn incense and make wishes.
After everyone had made their wishes, Yu Li noticed that Chen Mengqi was the only one who hadn't made a wish yet. She quickly called her over and said, "My dear girl, you're the only one left. Come over here, kneel down, and make your wish."
But to everyone's surprise, Chen Mengqi shook her head: "I have no wishes, and I don't need to kneel."
This incident had a profound impact on the fat man.
He didn't think Chen Mengqi was wrong, and he certainly wouldn't make such sweeping judgments like those brainless people online, such as "How can this child be so selfish?", "She doesn't even know how to wish her parents good health", or "If all else fails, she can wish for world peace", and so on.
Her parents are in perfect health, and the fact that she has no desires at this age is the greatest compliment she can give to them!
Because without desires, there are no regrets.
※※※※※※
Since Yu Li had argued with him, Fatty didn't plan to go to Qili Pavilion today.
Being a chef is tough; this fat guy just wants to stay home and lie down all day.
Some people say that chefs earn a lot of money these days, and many people are desperate to become chefs.
It's true that they earned a lot; Lao Wang and Zhao Lao Er earned 2,000 yuan a month! How much did an average person earn in a month back then? Take Huaihua for example; before she was laid off, her monthly salary was only 40 yuan.
However, I get off work from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. every day, 12 hours a day, and I have to stay in the kitchen during my work hours.
They endured the high temperatures, noise, and the smoky atmosphere of the kitchen.
While others are resting, you're cooking; while your family is having a get-together, you're still cooking; while others are dating, shopping, or watching movies, you're still cooking.
