Chapter 144: Be a "God Assist", Not a "Pig Teammate"
Su Hong looked at him wilting in an instant, and her anger subsided a lot.
She reached out and patted the back of his hand: "It's right to want your daughter to be well, but you have to use the right method."
Su Hong continued earnestly, "Nian Nian and Si Yan are just getting along, not competing to see who has more money. If you keep flaunting your wealth by transferring money so crudely, it's easy to embarrass others and might even put Si Yan under pressure and make him think you look down on him. The fact is, in another field, our son-in-law is also a social elite and a leader!"
Chen Ran held the unpeeled orange in his hand, his fingertips rubbing against the white threads on the orange segments. He whispered, "I just... haven't been by her side for so many years, and I'm always worried that she's been wronged. I want to give her more, so that she can stand up more firmly."
He feels like a "ruthless money-making machine" and is being despised.
"Has she been wronged by the Si family?" Su Hong sighed, her tone softening. "At this critical juncture, my daughter has suddenly proposed to go abroad. She just called me to tell me that the Si family not only agrees, but is also very supportive, even considering the birth and childbirth. You don't see many in-laws like this!"
Su Hong hopes Chen Ran can understand that what her daughter needs now is not money, but her parents staying by her side safely and not causing trouble for her. "We should be 'god assists', not 'idiot teammates'."
Chen Ran nodded silently, handed the peeled orange to Su Hong's mouth, and said in a flattering voice: "I learned it, wife."
Su Hong glanced at him sideways, took a bite of the orange, and the sweet juice spread in her mouth.
The young couple in Jinghuayuan had no idea that their parents had talked about all this for them. Si Yan was giving Su Nian a trial English listening lesson at this time.
Si Yan knew that his father-in-law had amazing execution ability, so he had to urge his daughter-in-law to prepare well.
At work on Monday, Su Nian continued to work hard on the homework assigned by his father - to analyze the company's strategic plan for the next year and write a report.
It's like asking a person who has just learned to swim to cross the Yangtze River and catch a fish for dinner.
Last week's report was stuck on the "market expansion strategy" section, and she was still a little hesitant, not knowing how to balance the company's existing resources with the development costs of new markets.
I took out my father's WeChat and wanted to go to the top floor to ask for his opinion. I typed and deleted in the input box, but finally gave up.
Perhaps, she should look for the company's market research data again to see if she can find a breakthrough from past expansion cases.
She turned on her computer again and searched for keywords in the company's internal database. A summary report on the company's attempt to enter the second-tier city market last year caught her attention.
The report recorded in detail the market feedback at the time, the problems encountered, and the input-output ratio. This information was like a key that instantly opened Su Nian's mind.
She immediately added content to the report framework, combined with current industry trends, and proposed a market expansion proposal of "piloting in different regions and advancing step by step", and also attached a preliminary cost budget and expected profit analysis.
When she finally finished the first draft of the report, she felt a little excited, as it was the result of her hard work.
Su Nian saved the document, stood up and stretched his stiff body. Looking at the screen full of text, the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose up.
Although this report consumed a lot of her time and energy, in the process she gained a deeper understanding of the company's business layout. The sense of accomplishment brought by this growth was no less than that of completing an excellent design plan.
As usual, she attended the department heads' meeting on Monday afternoon, but this time, she was an unknown presence and no one asked her to speak suddenly. It was just right that she could learn the speaking skills of these department leaders.
Watching the directors talking, she silently took notes: "It turns out that this is the most elegant way to pass on the blame", "This is the way to grab the credit without leaving any trace".
The entire meeting went smoothly. Su Nian maintained a well-behaved expression that said, "I'm just here to learn," but he was taking notes frantically in his heart: this sect, that trick, there is knowledge everywhere in the world.
After the meeting, Su Nian took the morning's report to the top floor. When Chen Ran saw the first draft of his daughter Wu Xian's analysis report, his eyes lit up. It was much better than he expected.
He had originally wanted to ask Assistant Fang to compile some information and send it to his daughter, but he didn't expect that she could analyze it so well without any external help.
It feels like thinking that your child is still playing with mud, but someone else has already made the statue of David out of mud.
Although the writing style of this report seems immature, there is a sense of seriousness between the lines.
In particular, the suggestion of "piloting in different regions and advancing step by step" accurately avoided the risks that might be brought about by blind expansion, and also conducted a cost-benefit analysis based on past cases. This was much more comprehensive than he expected.
Chen Ran put the report down and looked up at his daughter standing at the table, his eyes filled with unconcealed surprise. "Nian Nian, you put a lot of thought into this report, didn't you? You were able to find breakthroughs from the company's past expansion cases and also considered the issue of resource balance. It's much better than my first analysis. Back then, I was almost blind to it."
Su Nian felt a little embarrassed by her father's praise, and she grasped the corner of her clothes with both hands and shook them gently.
Chen Ran reached into the drawer, pulled out a pen, and circled a few points on the report. "Look here. The cost budget breaks down labor costs very finely, and the expected revenue takes into account regional consumption differences. These are all very practical points. However, there's one area that could be improved—the selection criteria for the pilot areas. You only mentioned market size. You could also include local policy support and the layout of competitors. This would make the proposal more convincing."
Su Nian quickly took out her notebook and wrote down the key points her father had mentioned, her pen gliding across the paper. "I understand! I'll go back and look up the policy documents of each candidate pilot city, sort out the information about our competitors, and add this part."
Looking at his daughter's serious expression, Chen Ran felt a warm feeling in his heart.
I used to be afraid that she would lose her way in an unfamiliar field, but now it seems that my daughter can not only adapt quickly, but also take the initiative to study and think. This resilience is more precious than anything else.
He pushed the report back to Su Nian, his tone softening considerably. "It's already very good that the first draft is written like this. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. First, fill in the selection criteria for the pilot areas according to what I just said, and then show it to me tomorrow. We can polish the details together and try to get this report mentioned at the executive meeting next week."
"Really?" Su Nian's eyes suddenly lit up, and her originally somewhat uneasy heart instantly settled down. "Thank you, Dad! I will definitely change it!"
Chen Ran looked at his daughter's excited back and couldn't help but smile.
