Shen Qingqing had a different idea and said to Li Huifen, "Aunt Huifen, we also want things to be better for you. So, if those people continue to come looking for you, could you ask Brother Manyu to tell us?"
Li Huifen was taken aback for a moment. Although she didn't understand what Shen Qingqing wanted to do, she didn't refuse: "Okay, I'll have Manyu come to you then."
That evening, just as Li Xunli and Shen Qingqing were preparing to take Shen Yangyang to the Li family to pick up Shen Hong, Shen Rongzhou returned in high spirits.
"Qingqing!" As soon as Shen Rongzhou returned, he saw Shen Qingqing standing at the door, ready to leave, and immediately picked her up.
"Ah!" Shen Qingqing was startled, but breathed a sigh of relief after realizing it was her father. She relaxed and let him lift her up. "Dad, what are you doing!"
"Dad's exam results for this semester are out. Thanks to you studying English with me every day, I got first place!" Shen Rongzhou was so happy that his face turned a little red.
During his student days, Shen Rongzhou had never been number one in any exam. He never expected that he would receive such an honor in middle age. This feeling made him feel a little lightheaded.
This is all thanks to Shen Qingqing's help!
His scores in Chinese and Math weren't much higher than the others in the class, only seven or eight points higher. But his English score was over 90, while the others were only in the fifties or sixties, which made the difference quite obvious.
This group of people are all around the same age, born in the late 1970s and early 1980s. They all grew up in rural areas with few resources. For them, Chinese and math were enough, but English was practically unheard of.
People who have reached junior high school may still have a chance to come across some of it, but so many years have passed that they can't remember much of it.
So learning English is basically like starting from scratch.
Both starting from scratch, Shen Rongzhou not only learns from teachers at school, but also has one-on-one tutoring at home with Shen Qingqing, so his progress is definitely more obvious than others.
When he received his results today, his colleagues from the other two departments came over to discuss them with him. Before long, the whole factory knew that Shen Rongzhou had gotten first place after just one semester of high school, and everyone was congratulating him.
Zhang Zeqin was also very pleased and specifically sought out Shen Rongzhou for a private conversation.
Thinking of what Zhang Zeqin had told him, Shen Rongzhou felt a surge of excitement in his heart.
The sense of accomplishment from academic achievements, coupled with the rosy promises made by Zhang Zeqin, invigorated Shen Rongzhou.
Shen Qingqing hadn't expected her dad to win first place. After realizing what was happening, she immediately patted Shen Rongzhou on the shoulder: "Dad! Hurry up and study! If you learn quickly, who knows, one day when you finish learning, Uncle Zhang might promote you, give you a raise, and let you do some other high-end business!"
Shen Rongzhou paused, his hand holding Shen Qingqing, and looked at her in shock: "Qingqing, how did you know?"
Shen Qingqing was also taken aback: "What? How would I know?"
"How did you know that President Zhang wanted me to do other high-end business?" The conversation between Shen Rongzhou and Zhang Zeqin was so secretive that only the two of them were involved.
One of the most frequently mentioned things was that Zhang Zeqin planned to establish a transportation company specifically for overseas markets, and the team would be selected from the personnel sent to adult high schools each year.
Shen Rongzhou is the first person selected from this team so far.
If Shen Rongzhou continues to perform like this and reaches a point where he can help Zhang Zeqin secure overseas orders, he will be considered to have entered the management team.
However, these words were all spoken by Zhang Zeqin to him, so it can be said that no one else knew about them except for the two of them.
How did he find out about his eldest child?
Shen Qingqing blinked innocently: "It's easy to guess. In 2001, our country joined the WTO, and we have been integrated into the global economy. We can no longer just look at the domestic market, but also need to communicate more with the international market. English has become a very important way of communication."
"Doesn't Uncle Zhang's company also have overseas transactions? Now he wants you to go to school, so he must want to keep up with the country's pace."
"Dad, you got first place! That means you learn really fast! If Uncle Zhang doesn't pay more attention to you and nurture your talent, I'll think he's gone crazy!"
Shen Rongzhou was in a daze after hearing Shen Qingqing's words.
Why did he feel that he, a grown man in his thirties, was not as smart as his eight-year-old daughter?
He only knew his boss's intentions after the boss made himself clear, while his daughter guessed everything just from one of the boss's actions...
Shen Rongzhou paused for a moment, then asked, "Qingqing, what do you think Dad should strive to do now?"
When Shen Qingqing heard her father ask her this, her curved eyes blinked rapidly. What did her father mean by this?
"Go into management, Dad. Let's ask Uncle to help us find some books on management from university departments. Uncle Zhang wants to train you, but he won't teach you everything step by step. You'll have to learn on your own."
"Take what Uncle Zhang taught you, the theoretical knowledge in the book, and what you observed in the company, and understand and master them one by one. Then show them to Uncle Zhang that opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared."
Shen Qingqing suddenly felt a surge of pleasure.
This was something her dad used to say to her, but now it's the other way around!
Shen Rongzhou thought about it for a moment, gritted his teeth and agreed. Anyway, he was already in class, so what was a little more reading?
"Let's go then, it's a good opportunity to pick up Xiaohong." Li Xunli had been listening to the father and daughter talking for a while and had already understood what they were saying.
The family closed the door, got on Shen Rongzhou's motorcycle, and headed to the Li family's house.
Shen Qingqing, as always, pushed open the Li family's gate and walked in with practiced ease. "Grandpa and Grandma, Uncle and Aunt, Chun Chun, we're here again!"
Li Xunjin and his family were sitting in the living room watching a live table tennis match on CCTV-5.
As soon as Shen Qingqing entered, she greeted everyone and went straight to Li Xunjin. She sat down next to him with a "thud," placed the contract she had been holding on his lap, and opened it: "Uncle! Take a look and see if you recognize this company? Mom said she felt like she had heard of it, but she couldn't remember."
Li Xunjin was suddenly handed a contract and subconsciously looked at it. "Li Rong?"
After hearing the name aloud once, a sense of familiarity arose; where had I heard it before...?
“Isn’t this the family that said they wanted to buy that porcelain kiln in our village last year?” Just as Li Xunjin was pondering, Zhang Mingfang suddenly said.
