He tossed the cigarette butt on the ground, strolled a few more steps with his father-in-law, and said, "So far, we haven't discovered any problems with Sun Chenzhou. He has access to the underlying technology of some of DaMi's software. The external forces that sent Hou Qian to contact Sun Chenzhou haven't revealed their specific motives yet, and I can't just stop Sun Chenzhou's work arbitrarily. We're in a very passive position and can only deal with things as they come and see what happens."
“Based on what you’ve said, I feel it’s not as simple as it seems on the surface. The methods are varied and cunning. Keep a close eye on things. Our team encountered a similar situation back then, and it was extremely dangerous. I can’t go into details about what’s involved. I hope you understand.” The father-in-law said, then quickly shut up when he saw someone approaching, and greeted the newcomer.
The newcomer greeted him with a smile: "Old Su! It's been a while! And this is Mr. Xing, hello! I'm Ji Hongxue from the Bureau of Justice."
Xing Baohua was recognized, so he could only shake hands with the other person and greet them politely. His father-in-law then mentioned the other person's position: Director Ji.
Not far after Director Ji left, he turned back to look at Xing Baohua and Lao Su, seemed to be thinking for a while, and then left.
"It's not easy to talk to Hou Qian about your aunt, but I can convey any questions or issues through her," the father-in-law said.
"Okay, then I'll trouble you."
The father-in-law waved his hand and said, "Putting aside our own family, her problem will involve many people. Your aunt and I don't care, we'll be retiring in a few years. But then it will be a big problem for Su Ya's maternal grandfather's family. They have many children working in the system there, which will have a significant impact."
"Hou Qian now understands the stakes. I've already had someone investigate her life in the US; we might find something wrong. Now it depends on her performance and whether she can make a contribution. If not, I'll try my best to help her, since she hasn't caused me any substantial losses yet," Xing Baohua said nonchalantly.
"No loss is because it was discovered early. If there had been losses, the impact would have been much greater. The nature of the situation is different. When you get back, try to speak as little as possible. Their family might make some demands, just ignore them."
Xing Baohua nodded, knowing that they knew his identity and that he had many children at home; he wondered if they could send a few of them in.
Of course, her conditions are different from Hou Qian's. Hou Qian is a high-achieving student who returned from studying in the United States, and good companies are vying for her. She insisted on coming to Da Mi herself.
For those kids who couldn't even get into a shabby workplace, rice was the best workplace in their eyes.
So when they catch Xing Baohua, the boss, they'll definitely make this request or that request.
With his father-in-law's advice, Xing Baohua understood the situation.
After the two returned home, dishes were laid out, waiting for them to sit down. A family dinner with many people would be cramped, but this also made it easier for everyone to chat and listen together.
After Xing Baohua and his father-in-law sat down, they drank and toasted each other three times. Just as his father-in-law had said, Hou Qian's family started talking about how a certain young man in their family was good, but his job was not good and he wanted to be transferred to a different company.
The provincial capital is more than 100 kilometers away from central Shandong. Even if the train is slow, it only takes three or four hours. I can make it home after get off work in the evening, stay overnight, and come back to work the next day.
They mentioned several good young men, all capable and talented, but they were missing a few girls present; otherwise, they could have easily arranged a marriage.
Xing Baohua chuckled and said, "I really can't make that decision. If you don't believe me, ask Hou Qian. It's all done through formal procedures, including exams and interviews from the personnel department."
“You’re such a big boss, it’s just a matter of a word. The rice is your own too, it’s always better to use your own people than outsiders.”
Xing Baohua was speechless upon hearing this, and Hou Qian's expression changed slightly; her current position was sensitive. She was practically one of their own, practically ready to sell the rice.
"Mom, don't talk nonsense. The bigger the company, the more formal it is. Haven't you seen that DaMi uses a lot of advanced management concepts? My cousins and his brothers have no education or technical skills. DaMi also has multiple departments such as factories and research. They can only go to the factory. When they go to the factory, they don't need to talk to General Manager Xing. They just need to register and wait for the assessment. Without the assessment record, no one can help. That's DaMi's union that makes the checks."
Hou Qian finished speaking in one breath, which surprised Xing Baohua. She had only been here for a few days, yet she had already thoroughly studied the entire rice system.
Xing Baohua used management systems from Motorola and IBM in his rice business, which was reported in the news. Many companies wanted to learn from this advanced technology. Unfortunately, the cost was too high, and virtually no factories or public institutions dared to spend the money.
"How dare you talk like that? With President Xing around, do you think your brothers would suffer any losses?" Hou Qian's mother glanced at her daughter and said with great dissatisfaction.
Hou Qian didn't respond. Perhaps her words were meant for Xing Baohua, but she needed to make her stance clear.
As luck would have it, Xing Baohua's phone rang. He apologized, got up, and left to answer it.
Shortly after Xing Baohua left, Hou Qian's mother whispered to her daughter, "What's wrong with you? Why didn't you say a word in support of them when such a good opportunity was available? If your brothers could get rice, you wouldn't be all alone, and you'd have someone to help you out."
"Mom, don't bother. They can't get in. Even if they report to the workers, it might not work. It would be even more embarrassing then."
"It's all because of his word! Saying that is disrespectful to us, and to your aunt and uncle," Hou Qian's mother said angrily, raising her voice slightly.
At this moment, Su Ya's mother also understood the implication and said with a smile, "Old Su and I have no face. Don't drag our family into this. A few years ago, when the rice was still a small factory, we could still say a few words because of face, but now no one can do anything about it."
