Zhang Qinghua handled things smoothly in Hongqi Village, and when everything was almost settled, he prepared to leave.
Furthermore, since Zhang Qinghua and the others left, Song Lili has been spending all her time at home with Song Yongren, chatting and talking with him.
She hadn't sat down and had a proper conversation with Song Yongren like this for several years. This time, she had the opportunity, and the two of them suddenly started talking as soon as they sat down together.
Surprisingly, it felt great. We were both happy and willing to have a deeper conversation, so we had a good discussion about our feelings.
She took Song Yongren to a hot pot restaurant so that he could fully understand her business.
She also took Song Yongren to the garment factory to put his mind at ease and tell him that she was doing well and that he didn't need to worry about her.
This approach worked, and Song Yongren was completely relieved.
Seeing that the hot pot restaurant was doing very well and the garment factory was also thriving, Song Yongren was completely relieved.
Moreover, his son-in-law works in a garment factory, which is a pretty good job, so Song Yongren's worries about Song Lili and her sister disappeared.
With the weight lifted from his heart, Song Yongren naturally felt more relaxed, and he smiled much more often.
When he had nothing to do each day, he would follow Zhang Shengtian to the shop to help out and observe life in the capital. He lived a comfortable life.
It's just that I'm not used to it, and I can't visit other people's homes like I would in a village.
However, these minor setbacks are only slight. Spending each day with my grandson naturally brings me joy.
After spending a few days with Song Yongren, Song Lili also had to get busy.
Her previous collaboration with Paul is about to begin, and they are already preparing to renovate the shop, so they need Song Lili's opinions.
Song Lili didn't simply copy everything from the hot pot restaurant; instead, she suggested that Paul renovate the shop to suit the local conditions.
Finally, they came up with a design plan that satisfied Paul before starting the renovations. Meanwhile, Song Lili began selecting the people who needed to be sent out.
However, at this time, people were still reluctant to go out, and some even had a negative attitude.
After all, many people with overseas connections did not escape unscathed during the previous decade, so people still have a lingering shadow in their hearts and subconsciously refuse to participate.
Although the situation is different now, I still don't want to get involved and choose to refuse.
Song Lili had a headache, so she called over the three store managers and said, "Go to the store and ask around to see if anyone is willing to go."
Such matters can only be based on the principle of voluntariness; they cannot be forced, otherwise, there would be a lot of trouble.
"Tell them that the treatment they receive if they voluntarily go abroad will be better than it is now, and that I will bring them back once things are on the right track over there."
"We won't let them stay there permanently, of course. If they want to stay, that's a different story."
"You three should go back and do some serious persuasion." Sigh, it's a headache; nobody's volunteering these days.
Hopefully, this mobilization will be effective.
The three store managers nodded, but they were also feeling miserable. No one was going. They had only mentioned it once before, and everyone just lowered their heads and acted like cowards, afraid of being dragged out.
That's why they told Song Lili to figure out a solution.
What good ideas could Song Lili come up with? She couldn't force others to go if they didn't want to, could she? She could only increase the compensation and see if anyone would be willing to go.
The three store managers nodded, "Okay, we'll go back and ask again," but in their hearts, they didn't have much hope, guessing that there probably weren't many people.
However, since Song Lili has already arranged the work, I might as well do it with a smile.
After the three store managers returned, Song Lili was also extremely troubled. How could she get everyone to be willing to go out?
It seems she needs to think of a good solution.
When he got home, Zhang Shengtian and Song Yongren were already there.
"Lily's back?"
"Yeah. Why are you back so early today?" It shouldn't be time to leave work yet.
"We didn't go today; we took Xinyi out to play," Zhang Shengtian said with a smile.
Since Song Yongren arrived, he has rarely gone to work at the hot pot restaurant, only going occasionally.
I was also thinking to myself, "Should I quit?"
He knew that Song Lili's hot pot restaurant was already quite well-managed, but it was no longer appropriate for him to be there.
He would occasionally skip work but still receive a salary, which made many people uncomfortable.
Since he still gets paid even when he doesn't come to work, the employees are naturally unhappy and resentful.
Although everyone knows he is Song Lili's father-in-law and family, there are still complaints.
He had overheard people saying this several times in secret.
Therefore, in order to make Song Lili's shop easier to manage, Zhang Shengtian felt that he should retire and stay at home to take care of the children all day, which would be a good choice.
Therefore, during the time Song Yongren was there, Zhang Shengtian deliberately reduced the time he spent in the store, so that it would be easier to talk about it later.
Song Lili hadn't expected Zhang Shengtian to have such thoughts; she simply assumed he didn't want to go today, so she didn't go.
This job was originally assigned to Zhang Shengtian to prevent him from getting bored, so Song Lili really didn't care whether Zhang Shengtian went or not.
As for the rumors circulating in the store, she could probably guess what they were, but she didn't care.
That's her own shop, and the salary is her own money. What do other people have to be resentful about?
So she didn't care.
"What are we having for dinner tonight?" Song Lili nodded and asked her two fathers.
"You decide what to do. Anyway, you've done a pretty good job. Look at that kid, Daming, he's looking forward to it every day."
Wang Daming genuinely enjoys Song Lili's cooking. Whenever she doesn't cook for a while, he keeps asking her to make it, saying he's craving it.
Zhang Shengtian even mocked Wang Daming for this, but Wang Daming still did what he wanted.
"Let me see, I'll make whatever I have at home." She didn't go grocery shopping today and didn't know if she had any vegetables at home.
"I bought the groceries this morning; they have all the things we usually eat. You can decide what to do with them," Zhang Shengtian said, and sat down to chat with Song Yongren in the courtyard.
The two old men have been getting along quite well lately, and they seem to enjoy spending time with the child every day.
Song Lili went to the kitchen, looked at the fresh meat and vegetables, and already had an idea in mind, knowing what to make for dinner tonight.
Having made up his mind, he came out and sat down next to the two of them. "Big Brother, I might be busy lately, so you'll be taking care of the child for the next few days."
Her collaboration with Paul has begun, and she has a lot to do, so she spends less time at home.
I might not be able to take care of the child, so I'll have to trouble Zhang Shengtian to put in the effort.
