Chapter 464: Resigning and Going to Hong Kong 2 How about you leave the child in Yicheng? ...
These days, quitting your job is quite unconventional.
What's more, the job he quit was an assistant professor at a top domestic university, which was unexpected for Teacher He and others.
He specifically looked for Yao Zhizhi several times, asking about her well-being and wanting to know if she had any dissatisfaction with the school. Yao Zhizhi did not hide it from the teacher and frankly said that she wanted to do something interesting.
Her current teaching assistant job cannot satisfy her spiritual pursuits, and she is almost bored.
Although Mr. He valued talent, he also knew that no one could violate the current system. After much hesitation, he chose to be an understanding teacher and let go.
He warned, "While the outside world is exciting, it also carries its fair share of crises and risks. If you're unsure about something, feel free to call me. I may be just a teacher, but I do have some connections, and I might be able to get advance notice of specific policies and regulations, so I can alert you promptly."
What else could Yao Zhizhi say? The ancients always respected their teachers, and for good reason.
It is really lucky to meet such a teacher in life.
No amount of fancy words could describe this precious teacher-student relationship. Yao Zhizhi could only bow solemnly to the old god.
The weather was not very good on the day she left school, but Yao Zhizhi felt unprecedented relief.
Ever since she came back to this world, she has been constantly striving to move forward, upward. Although she has achieved a lot, she was always dancing with chains.
There were countless constraints, and she felt very uncomfortable, especially during the period after graduating from university.
Yao Zhizhi is not the kind of person who lives her life in a muddle. If she is confined to a position where she cannot shine for too long, she will become corrupt.
Leave early so that your life will not be in vain.
As for the crises and risks that Ms. He is worried about, she is not overly optimistic and thinks she is invincible, but she will show her best condition and the highest fighting spirit to face all challenges and storms.
She is a falcon belonging to the blue sky, not a sparrow trapped in a cage.
Standing at the school gate, she looked back deeply at this institution that millions of people yearn for. What was stirring in her heart was the history of struggle and hard work of countless pioneers in the glorious years, as well as the wave that she, a trend-setter, would set off in the future journey.
She is a lucky person standing on the shoulders of giants. She will cherish these rare years of peace and write a chapter in the new era.

After resigning, Yao Zhizhi felt free and planned to return to Yicheng to rest for a few days before going to Hong Kong to find her third brother.
The day I returned to Yicheng, the typhoon had just passed. The strong wind destroyed many trees on the roadside, and there was water everywhere on the ground. The whole city seemed to have just experienced a massive natural baptism.
The streets and alleys were filled with busy figures, clearing trees, replanting trees, repairing roads, and registering losses...
In short, a typhoon made everyone realize a problem - the staff dormitories and factory buildings in the city that were built in the early 1950s seemed a bit old and could not bear the weight.
A marathon of construction and reconstruction is about to begin on this land.
Yao Zhizhi had a hunch that although this marathon could revitalize the economy, promote technological progress and the development of the times, it would also inevitably bring some disadvantages.
When land can be traded and housing becomes a commodity, it is bound to breed the greediest side of human nature.
Although her personal abilities are limited and she can't do much, she can guarantee that all the staff dormitories in the food factory under her name will only be occupied and not sold.
In order to have no worries, she must have a good talk with Yao Taotao, Ye Sheng and others before going to Hong Kong.
Fortunately, her two partners strongly supported her decision. They were a group of people who sincerely wanted to do something practical. The three of them, as military advisors, formulated several major guidelines, which not only involved the issue of staff dormitories, but also the factory-run kindergartens, which would always be free. Female employees would be paid as usual during maternity leave, and their work arrangements could be adjusted appropriately. Maternity leave for female employees who had caesarean sections could be extended by about half a month to one month.
As for some women who gave up their jobs and returned to their families because of childbirth, Yao Zhizhi also expressed her understanding. After all, not every family has elders to help them.
However, she still suggested: "The factory cafeteria and the factory-run kindergarten could add a few more floating positions to facilitate the reintegration of women who want to work after returning to their families for a period of time."
In order to reintegrate into the group, doing some odd part-time jobs is a good choice.
For example, they can wash dishes and clean the canteen, or help prepare food or cook in the canteen...
In short, making every employee feel at home is probably the corporate culture of their Chaoyang Food Factory.
After the meeting, Yao Zhizhi rested for two days, then packed up and prepared to go to Hong Kong to make a living.
Before leaving, Tang Fengyuan earnestly advised her to think twice: "When you leave, you will definitely have to take your children with you. Can they adapt to the education model there? Can they understand the language there? How about you leave the children in Yicheng? Anyway, I'm about to retire, and I'll take them to school."
Yao Zhizhi smiled and refused her mother-in-law: "No, Mom, it's better for the child to stay with Mom and Dad. Besides, you've worked too hard in your life. When you really retire, don't think about anything else and just enjoy your old age. Just pretend that we are still in the capital. We will bring the child back every winter and summer vacation."
Tang Fengyuan was still reluctant. She always felt that the security in Hong Kong was a problem and her daughter-in-law was so rich. If some gangsters set their sights on the child, the consequences would be disastrous.
Qi Changxiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and advised: "Mom, your worry is not without reason, but are Zhizhi and I just decorations? Besides, Third Brother is still over there. If there is any risk, wouldn't he know about it? Don't worry about it. Just wait for retirement peacefully and enjoy life with Uncle Ning."
Tang Fengyuan had no choice but to give up.
But she was still worried and tossed and turned at night, unable to sleep.
Ning Zhengrong advised, "Why think so much? Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. Besides, it's been several years since the reform and opening up, and exchanges between the two places are becoming more and more frequent. It will become more and more convenient for children to travel between the mainland and Hong Kong. If you don't believe me, just wait and see. It won't be long before the focus of children's development will shift from Hong Kong to the Guangzhou area. By then, you will be retired, and if you want to see your children, you can just pack your bags and leave. Who can stop you?"
Tang Fengyuan was persuaded. He got up early the next day and went to the backyard to help prepare breakfast with a smile.
While eating, she asked Yao Jingzong, "Are my in-laws going too?"
"I'm not going. I'm going to help Weiguo take care of the children." Although Yao Jingzong has been retired for many years and has long been able to enter and leave the country, he does not want to go to Hong Kong.
Firstly, he and Xie Chunxing have been taking care of their two daughters for years, so it's time to visit their eldest son.
Secondly, Hong Kong is still the territory of the British. He would just feel uncomfortable going there. Why bother? He might as well go back to the Northeast, where he had fought and struggled, and his son, daughter-in-law, grandchildren were all there.
Tang Fengyuan sighed: "In this way, you and your mother-in-law will be separated again."
"What's the big deal? We are an old married couple. Do we still need romance? We live for our children. Anyway, we have a telephone at home and the train is convenient. It's no big deal." Yao Jingzong was very optimistic. He and Xie Chunxing were not young anymore, so why were they still so affectionate?
Besides, he and Xie Chunxing have been separated for the past few years while his youngest daughter was in college and working, so he has long been used to it.
So as soon as Yao Zhizhi left, the old man happily boarded the train heading north without even staying with his wife for a few days.
Tang Fengyuan came back from the station and said to Ning Zhengrong on the way, "In my opinion, my in-laws have been thinking about Weiguo all these years, but they are just too embarrassed to say they are leaving because they owe it to our Zhizhi."
Ning Zhengrong thought the same thing: "After all, Weiguo is his first child and grew up by his side. He must have a deeper affection for him than for our Zhizhi, right?"
"It's human nature." Tang Fengyuan didn't mean to blame Yao Jingzong, but he felt a little sorry for his daughter-in-law. She didn't grow up with her biological parents. She finally got a few years of companionship from her biological father, but they were separated again because of career setbacks.
But it's better this way, so that the child won't always feel guilty towards her eldest brother's family. Now that Old Yao is gone, the psychological burden is reduced.
Tang Fengyuan sighed: "Fortunately, my mother-in-law and the others are still here, otherwise, when we get home from work, it would be so lonely."
Ning Zhengrong smiled and asked, "How about we find some cats and dogs to keep to relieve our boredom?"
"Don't worry, let's wait until I retire." Tang Fengyuan estimated that he would not be promoted again before retirement, and this time he could really enjoy his retirement.
A few days later, she got heatstroke while on duty and was receiving an IV drip in the hospital. She happened to meet Yao Taotao and found out that she was pregnant.
Looking at her belly, she was still not showing any signs of pregnancy. Tang Fengyuan quickly asked about the due date and scolded her, "You kid, why didn't you tell Zhizhi about such a big thing? She'd be worried if she knew."
Yao Taotao didn't hide it on purpose. She had lost her appetite and felt nauseous these past few days. She thought it was summer heat, but after a checkup she found out she was pregnant.
She smiled and sat next to Tang Fengyuan, comforting him, "It's no big deal. She just got pregnant and won't give birth until next year. I'll tell her then."
Tang Fengyuan refused and urged, "Don't hide it, or Zhizhi will be angry with you. Hurry up and go back and call her. I'll write down the number for you."
Yao Taotao smiled and said, "I have the number, Aunt Tang. Zhizhi called me right after she got there."
Tang Fengyuan was relieved: "That's good. If you have no appetite these days, eat more fruits. Remember, you can't eat fruits like hawthorn that can promote blood circulation and dissipate blood stasis."
Yao Taotao smiled and wrote it down, but did not call Yao Zhizhi when she returned home.
She stroked her belly, sat in front of the electric fan, closed her eyes, and a long-lost face appeared in her mind.
The classmate who died in childbirth was a shadow in her life, so even though her relationship with Chao Risheng was stable, she never gave up using condoms.
I don’t know how she got pregnant this time. It’s probably because Chao Risheng did something tricky.
She also admitted that they were already quite old and wanted to have children sooner rather than later, otherwise, the risk of childbirth would increase with age.
But she still felt extremely depressed and scared.
What if? What if she, like her classmates, was unfortunately kissed by death?
Or just beat the child, Chao Risheng doesn’t know about it anyway.
