"What are you saying? Does that mean the government should just pay their salaries for nothing? You can't have that kind of thinking!"
Director Yang started again, giving a lecture.
In his view, it's unacceptable for workers to receive wages every month but fail to achieve the performance they are supposed to.
Xu Xiangyang chose to remain silent in the face of such thoughts.
Fine, tell whoever you want.
I meant well and offered a friendly reminder. Whether they listen or not is up to them. If they don't want to listen, so be it.
When Director Yang saw that Xu Xiangyang was not speaking, he assumed that Xu Xiangyang had taken his words to heart.
He sighed and said, "You young people have no idea how we got by before. Now that living conditions are better, you've forgotten it all."
Xu Xiangyang thought to himself, "These days will be seen as hardship by people in later generations, but nobody cares about that. Everyone is just enjoying the present."
Of course, he wasn't saying that Director Yang's idea was wrong, but rather that during such a sensitive period, wouldn't it be better to just stay put?
Isn't it good to have food to eat?
After dropping Director Yang off at home, Xu Xiangyang breathed a sigh of relief.
It wasn't that he disliked Director Yang, but he was genuinely worried for him. He figured if he said anything more, someone would put up a big-character poster tomorrow and get him fired.
Of course, this has nothing to do with Xu Xiangyang.
When he got home, he noticed that the atmosphere was a bit off, so he asked, "What's wrong?"
Everyone was in low spirits and ate listlessly.
Mr. and Mrs. Wang Zhongshan clearly felt it was inappropriate to say that, so they remained silent.
Wang Xiumin glanced at Xu Guangtian, then sighed and said, "Your grandma came this morning and said that your dad should take care of you in your old age, and that you should give up your new house."
This can't be kept secret at all. What if they come tomorrow, and Xu Xiangyang comes home from get off work in the evening? They'll still see it, won't they?
Xu Xiangyang didn't find it strange, after all, Zhang Xiufen had come to cause trouble before and hadn't gotten any benefits.
If they were so quick to give up, would they still be considered exceptional?
He thought for a moment and said, "I'll see how she's staying here tomorrow. If my grandma comes, you don't need to worry about her. We'll talk about it when I get back tonight."
Although Zhang Xiufen was his grandmother, she did not do what a grandmother should do at all.
Leaving aside the issue of favoritism, even five fingers can be of different lengths, so favoritism is normal, but this is going too far.
That's showing favoritism to the extreme; they're not treating them like family at all.
Xu Guangtian looked up at his son. Since he started working in the city, he has become more and more successful.
His entire demeanor was different. He had never known what demeanor meant before; he learned it from the radio.
Now that he has such a good life, he's not going to be foolish enough to give it up to someone else.
“Xiangyang, it’s no use even if your grandma comes. I don’t agree to her staying here.” He explained his thoughts so that the child would understand.
He is on the side of his family.
Xu Xiangyang didn't expect him to say that. After all, they were his biological parents. If Xu Guangtian felt reluctant, he could understand.
Of course, understanding is one thing, but don't think about anything else.
"Okay, I understand." He nodded with a smile.
We'll have to wait and see what the specifics are.
None of the others slept well that night, but Xu Xiangyang slept soundly until he woke up naturally.
I ate breakfast and went to work, but my family couldn't even eat breakfast.
After Xu Xiangyang left, the others exchanged glances...
After seeing Director Yang off, Qian Wenqing arrived at the office just as everyone else was there. Since there wasn't much to do in the morning, Qian Wenqing pulled him aside to talk.
He asked in a low voice, "Brother Xu, did you bring anything back from your last business trip?"
Although Xu Xiangyang hadn't brought anything, he hesitated for a moment before nodding, "I did bring something, why?"
They didn't have any sales channels before, so they hadn't brought anything for a long time.
Upon hearing that he had brought it, Qian Wenqing said, "Brother Li is still selling things on the black market recently, you can ask him to help you sell them. However, he will take a cut now, and I'm not sure how much."
This way, the risk of selling things is eliminated, which is not bad at all.
However, Xu Xiangyang had a question: "You said you could lower the price of the goods, but what if he gets arrested? Who will compensate for the goods?"
It would be too much of a loss for the sellers to bear the cost, wouldn't it? After all, things are so tense right now, and there's nothing they can do about getting caught.
It wouldn't be appropriate to split the loss 50/50, would it? If we just say the items were confiscated, who knows if it's true or not?
If you can sell it for half the price and make double the profit, who wouldn't try something crooked?
Qian Wenqing seemed to have thought of something too, scratched his head and said, "I didn't ask for the specifics, I just heard it from the people who were selling things there before."
He also met that person last night, and they mentioned it casually during their conversation.
Xu Xiangyang nodded. If there was no risk, making some money was a good idea. "Then you can ask around. If it's possible, I have quite a lot of stuff. I can ask Brother Li to help me sell it."
The two talked for a while and then went inside. Although they didn't have anything to do right now, they couldn't just stay outside all the time, could they?
There's not much to do at work lately. Except for Xu Xiangyang, who has to pick up and drop off the director, everyone else just drives short distances around the city every day. It's just a short trip, and they're back in half a day at most.
At noon, Xu Xiangyang received a notice that he was to take Director Yang to a meeting.
He quickly went to eat lunch, then drove to wait next to the office building.
Not long after, Director Yang and Secretary Jin, whom they had met before, came out.
"To the municipal government." After getting into the car, Director Yang announced the destination and then told Secretary Jin about the meeting that would be held later.
Xu Xiangyang drove obediently, ignoring whatever the people behind him were saying.
However, he noticed that Director Yang's conversation sounded dangerous.
This is different from before. We're going to the municipal government soon, and the people there are very sensitive to these kinds of things.
Xu Xiangyang didn't remind him because he saw that Secretary Jin looked like she was enjoying the show.
Even if you speak up now, you'll be refuted by Director Yang just like last time, and he won't listen.
What's the point of saying anything? You might as well just mind your own business.
When they arrived at their destination, Xu Xiangyang waited for them in the parking space.
Director Yang and Secretary Jin went to the office building. Xu Xiangyang had never been inside before, and this was his first time there.
He stood by the car and lit a cigarette, just as another car drove by.
This is a designated parking area. There are other cars next to his car, but no one is inside.
There's a lounge not far from here; I guess everyone's there, which is why I haven't seen anyone here.
The car didn't have air conditioning at that time, so sitting inside was like sitting in a steam oven; the weather was too hot.
The car stopped next to Xu Xiangyang, and two people got out of the back seat after it was parked.
When he saw one of them, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
