Two brand-new blue trucks drove into the company compound, and immediately all the employees ran out of the building.
"Look, the boss bought a car."
"Wow! That's right. Our company has its own trucks now."
Ge Qiuqin also came out and, seeing Xia Enruo get out of the car, asked happily:
"Enruo, you're really something. You bought this truck without hesitation."
"Sister-in-law, there's a car show being held in Yongning these past few days. Shaoxuan and I went to take a look, and we thought it was suitable, so we bought it. We were going to buy one sooner or later anyway."
Ge Qiuqin walked around the car.
"Great! I think the ones from the sugar factory aren't as good as ours."
"Sister-in-law, the staff said that our truck is the latest model, which is of course better than the old one."
Having a car makes things much more convenient. We can go home whenever we want by car, instead of living at the company.
Oh, by the way, sister-in-law, you also need to learn to drive and get your driver's license; you'll need it later.
Upon hearing this, Ge Qiuqin pointed to herself.
"Xia, you're saying I drive? Don't tease your sister-in-law. These are things only men can do. I'm a woman, I can't handle them."
"Sister-in-law, who says women can't drive? Even car dealers wouldn't dare say that. Don't worry, there will be plenty of girls driving all over the place in the future. Just listen to me."
"Once Minghui gets his driver's license, you should also go learn. I'm planning to learn after I give birth too."
"It's your sister-in-law. There's no rule that says women can't take a driver's license test."
Gu Shaoxuan came over and spoke up for Xia Enruo.
“If it’s like you say, then I’ll go learn. I’ve even gone to night school, so of course I can go to driving school too.”
"That's right!"
Xia Enruo had Gu Shaoxuan drive her around to various shops that evening to collect the bills.
Having a car really makes things faster; a task that usually takes two hours can now be completed in just one hour.
When Zhao Minghui saw the newly purchased truck, he excitedly jumped on it and fiddled with it for a while.
"Boss Xia, can I open one in the future?"
Zhao Minghui's voice trembled slightly as he spoke.
"Of course, there's another one parked in the company yard. Once you get your driver's license, you can drive one to haul goods, and another employee can drive the other. This will make it much more convenient for our various shops and the company to deliver clothes and groceries."
Zhao Minghui's heart nearly jumped out of his chest when he heard this; he wished he could get his driver's license tomorrow.
"Boss Xia, I'm sure I won't be able to sleep tonight, I'm just too excited."
Xia Enruo burst out laughing when she heard Zhao Minghui's words; he was really funny.
That evening, Gu Shaoxuan took Xia Enruo home.
The roar of the car engine shocked the entire residential compound.
The neighbors all came out to see what was new.
"Chief of Staff Gu, your family has really struck it rich. Now you even drive big trucks."
"Absolutely! Your family is the richest in the entire army right now. You own a restaurant and you've bought a car. We're so envious."
Gu Shaoxuan jumped out of the car and said.
"This is all money that Enruo earned."
Xia Enruo also got out of the car and said:
"Sisters, I plan to open a home for military spouses. If any of you are interested in employment, you can participate in the training. After passing the training, you can be hired by the company. However, these companies are not state-owned enterprises, but privately owned businesses."
Xia Enruo's words immediately caused an uproar among the neighbors.
"Xia, is there such a good thing? That's great! I'd like to find some work, but I don't know what to do?"
"Yes, yes, the key is that I have never been to school, I can't read, and no one would want me anywhere."
“Me too. When I first came here, I asked several places, but they all rejected me as soon as they heard that I hadn’t even finished elementary school, saying that I couldn’t do the work because I was illiterate.”
"What can state-owned enterprises do now? What can individual businesses do? As long as you can make money, you can do it anywhere."
"That's right. If I could earn money like Xia, I'd be happy to shovel manure."
"Sister Qiuqin and Sister Xiuli work at Xia's shop. I heard they earn a lot. Their clothes are much more fashionable than before."
The military wives surrounded Xia Enruo, chatting non-stop. Gu Shaoxuan stood to the side, feeling proud of the good idea his wife had come up with.
She always comes up with such great ideas; her abilities are good enough to make her a political commissar in the army.
"Okay, okay, sisters. It seems we all share the same idea of making money. No rush, take it slow. I'm contacting a few companies now, and we'll reach an agreement once we've reached a deal."
Our military spouses' home can be established. At that time, any military spouse who is willing to work can apply. You don't need to worry about education or age.
"I can definitely solve this for you, don't worry. As long as we have a stable income, the men will feel more at ease working in the military, right?"
Xia Enruo's generous words stirred the hearts of the military wives, who had never been so valued before.
I always thought that coming up with the army meant becoming a housewife and taking care of the family's daily needs.
It now seems that military spouses can also have their own careers.
During dinner, Gu Shaoxuan asked Xia Enruo:
"Enruo, does the military spouses' home also have to be located within the company?"
"Of course not, it's located in the family compound."
"The family compound? Is there any room left in our compound?"
Xia Enruo pointed to the house.
“Isn’t this our place? I’ve already planned it out. We’ll move out and buy a bigger house in the future.”
The place is too small now, and the conditions aren't good. Even going to the bathroom isn't as convenient as it is in the shop.
After we move out, I plan to transform our home into a military spouses' home. This way, it will be close to everyone and convenient, and it will also be helpful for your work.
"You're the chief of staff, and although you're in charge of the troops' combat training, you should at least consider the needs of the soldiers' families. It shows you, as their leader, care about your subordinates."
Gu Shaoxuan was a little surprised that Xia Enruo had considered things so thoroughly for him.
"Honey, I suddenly feel like you're a person."
Alone? Xia Enruo was rather curious.
Who does he look like?
“You’re just like Dad. The way you were thinking and considering things just now is just like Dad. When I was at home, Dad always thought of me like that.”
Xia Enruo almost spat out her food.
"Pfft... You're hilarious. How could I possibly look like Dad? Dad's a man, I'm a woman."
"I'm talking about mindset, about considering things thoroughly."
"Well, I should say I think about things more comprehensively. You really don't know how to praise people. I'm your wife, of course I have to think about you. How could I not think about others? You really don't know how lucky you are."
Xia Enruo tapped Gu Shaoxuan on the head with her chopsticks.
