Seeing his daughter deep in thought, the fat man finally answered her question, saying, "So you see, management is an art. It encompasses a vast amount of knowledge that parents don't know, teachers don't teach, and no one would dare entrust a company to you to manage directly..."
Chen Mengqi's eyes were practically covered in mosquito coil circles: "What should we do?"
"What else can we do? We have to learn! As the saying goes, if you understand one method, you can understand all methods. Knowledge is something that can be applied to other areas. Girl, remember this: a high level of education does not necessarily mean outstanding ability, but a rough and uneducated person certainly cannot manage a large company. For example, Sha Zhu, it is because he is uneducated that he dares not go out on his own and can only work as a cook in Yan Jiecheng's restaurant."
"..."
When you say "Silly Pillar," Silly Pillar arrives.
No sooner had the fat man finished speaking than he heard the guy outside knocking on the door: "Fatty, Fatty!"
Just as they were talking about him, Sha Zhu showed up. The fat man coughed twice and said to Chen Mengqi, "Go open the door."
Chen Mengqi made a face at him before gleefully running to open the door.
She smiled as soon as the door opened.
What happened? She saw Sha Zhu holding a dozen bottles of chilled cola in his arms. As soon as he saw her, he beamed and said, "Girl, this is perfect. Quickly, grab two bottles!"
Chen Mengqi smiled and took out a bottle: "Is this for He Sui's younger brother?"
Sha Zhu's lips twitched. How did he become your younger brother? Isn't he older than you?
At this moment, Fatty also came out, looked at Silly Pillar and said, "Wow, good heavens, but what about it?"
Sure enough, this silly guy was holding a can of Coke in his arms, and there was a bag tied to his waistband, which was full of snacks.
Upon seeing him, Sha Zhu immediately wiggled his butt and said, "Quick, grab a handful for your daughter."
What kind of outrageous words are these? The fat man's temples throbbed as he said to him, "Alright, alright, Chen Mengqi doesn't like snacks. You'd better take them back to your son. If you delay any longer, the cola won't cool down."
Upon hearing this, Sha Zhu quickly replied, "Okay, then I'll head over first. I'll borrow your car tomorrow; I also want to take my wife and kids to the Summer Palace for a stroll..."
Fatty knew that Sha Zhu was the type who wouldn't come to the temple without a reason; when he did, it was never anything good.
He cursed impatiently, "Get out of here. I'll have Yu Qian be your driver tomorrow."
In the parallel world, Bang Geng didn't have the chance to learn to drive; on the contrary, Yu Qian learned to drive from Director Wang's driver, Master Zhou, early on. He can drive trucks and vans, and now he has been promoted to Chen Yan's personal driver!
That evening, the fat man once again used his supernatural ability to hear everything.
Seeing him with his ears perked up, Yu Li knew perfectly well that his wicked sense of humor had kicked in again.
She pinched his ear in an annoyed tone: "Why are you so gossipy?"
The fat man chuckled, "Don't you want to know if Sha Zhu and Ran Qiuye slept together tonight?"
Yu Li chuckled, and Li Ma became radiant: "It's not just me, I'm afraid everyone in the whole courtyard won't be able to sleep well tonight."
That's for sure! I don't know if other people can sleep, but Qin Huairu, who lives across the street from Sha Zhu, definitely can't sleep!
Qin Huairu lay on the kang (a heated brick bed), turning over and over while making pancakes.
The more laughter and chatter filled Sha Zhu's room, the more "three people in one room," the more it seemed to be mocking Qin Huairu. She was a joke back then, going so far as to report Sha Zhu for having illicit relationships and drive Ran Qiuye away. She had planned everything and blocked all of Sha Zhu's escape routes, but she missed the last one, Bang Geng.
Xu Damao ruined all her chances of remarrying Sha Zhu with just 20 yuan! A mere 20 yuan!
Qin Huairu watched as the light in Sha Zhu's room went out, and then the light in He Yushui's room came on—needless to say, the couple were sleeping together, and the child had gone to sleep in that room.
This is more like a slap in the face to Qin Huairu. The scene from back then is playing out again right under her nose. Sha Zhu is just short of hanging a banner at the door: "Welcome Comrade Qin Huairu to eavesdrop."
So, what a humiliation!
The third uncle's family couldn't sleep either. They drank his fake liquor, which was one jin of liquor mixed with nine liang of water, and kept cursing, "What kind of behavior is this? What kind of behavior is this!"
His third aunt said impatiently, "What does it have to do with you what those two silly couple's business is? You're really meddling in other people's business!"
The third uncle grew angrier the more he thought about it: "What do you know! If Sha Zhu were still that stinking cook from the Red Star Factory, how could Ran Qiuye be with him? He's been taking advantage of our family! Good heavens, 2,000 yuan a month! That's 2,000!"
This is the family tradition of the Third Uncle's family. The Third Aunt couldn't sit still when she heard this: "That's right! If it weren't for us, would Sha Zhu be so successful now? Would Ran Qiuye be able to bring her son back to acknowledge him?"
The third uncle couldn't sit still any longer: "Go and fetch the eldest brother for me!"
The third aunt immediately threw on her clothes and shoes and went up to the back room. Standing at the door of Yan Jiecheng's house, she called out, "Eldest brother, eldest brother! Get up quickly, come here, your dad has something to say to you!"
There was no sound from inside the house, which made the third aunt so angry that she started banging on the door.
After a while, an impatient voice finally came: "What are you doing? What time is it? Can't a person get some sleep? I'm not going!"
The three women were furious: "Boss, get up right now!"
"Stop bothering me, let's talk about it tomorrow!" After saying that, he muttered, "How annoying."
How could the third aunt not realize that it was her daughter-in-law speaking from beginning to end? Her eldest son, Yan Jiecheng, the eldest son of the Yan family, hadn't responded at all.
The third aunt went back into the house grumbling, and the third uncle, seeing this, quickly asked her, "Has the eldest son arrived?"
"What the hell! People think I'm annoying!"
Now, the third uncle was even more unable to sleep...
Meanwhile, at the Intermediate People's Court, an elderly man was also tossing and turning in bed.
The room was empty, and the bedside was still cold even in summer. Yi Zhonghai really wanted to burst into song: "I haven't been the eldest brother for many years..."
Alas, morale has collapsed, and the team is unmanageable!
All his years of planning have come to naught, and in the end, it's all for naught!
Sha Zhu, Sha Zhu suddenly has a son; Qin Huairu, Qin Huairu is unreliable; as for Bang Geng, don't even mention him, that kid is like a bloodsucking centipede, all he does is suck blood, lest he drain his family fortune and then kick him out!
Yi Zhonghai was filled with regret. All he ever thought about was face, face, face, how much does face cost per pound?
If he had followed Xu Damao's example earlier and brought someone back from the countryside to raise while the old lady was still alive, even if it was a daughter, she could at least take care of him in his old age.
Since Chen Mengqi, Xu Xiyue, and Shi Tiantian came to live in this courtyard, who still says daughters are a money-losing burden? They're doing just fine!
Xu Damao bluntly stated: "What's the use of having a son? Just like Liu Guangtian, Liu Guangfu, Yan Jiefang, Yan Jiekuang, and Banggeng, they squandered their families to death, and even mountains of gold and silver would be lost in the end; but our Xiyue is different. In the future, I will find her a son-in-law who will live with me and stay by my side to take care of me in my old age and see me off when I die!"
