Chapter 351 Parents' Meeting
"Let's not be polite. The company is doing very well now. If we keep it up, we will be able to turn things around soon."
Du Shaojie waved his hand, unwilling to take credit.
He had contributed very little to the development of [Shuweixiang Old Hotpot], so naturally he had nothing to complain about. He found that Pang Weidong had an advantage. When the facts were in front of him, he was very willing to listen to advice.
People who listen to advice generally don't fall into big trouble. The detours they have taken are just tuition fees.
After dinner, it was still early, so Du Shaojie drove to Qi Yan's residence alone. During this period, he was basically with his family and only met her a few times. Fortunately, Qi Yan was not so stingy, otherwise there would be quarrels.
"I just need to complete my job and not get involved in anything else."
Qi Yan gradually became a maverick in school. She didn't fight for anything, but her quality of life was higher than that of most of her colleagues.
Anyway, she was not included in the evaluation of advanced people, nor was she promoted or given a salary increase. Who was she showing off to?
"This is also a problem. Why don't you transfer to another unit? I'll help you find a solution later."
There are many reasons why Qi Yan was isolated. Among them, the tragic end of a male colleague who harassed her aroused the vigilance of many people.
Objectively speaking, the psychology of most people is like this. If you meet a strong colleague, can't you avoid him? And Qi Yan can't lower herself to please them, so she will become more and more alienated from most colleagues.
In fact, every unit has people like Qi Yan, who comes to work on time and leaves after work. Don't come to me for things beyond the scope of my job, it won't work even if the leader comes.
Du Shaojie felt sorry for the other party, so he discussed with the other party whether to transfer to another unit.
"No! I think this is good, and I have more time to spend. Shaojie, you don't have to worry about work, but I haven't gotten married, so it's inevitable that there will be rumors."
Qi Yan said very politely, but in fact, there have been rumors circulating in the school.
A single woman, the quality of life is not low, and there is no good family background that is obvious. It would be strange if no one said anything.
This is another reason why Qi Yan has a bad relationship with most of her colleagues.
"Yanzi, I'm sorry for you. I will think about this matter carefully, and I will give you an explanation after I think it through."
Du Shaojie could no longer pretend to be deaf and dumb, but he was not mentally prepared yet and needed a buffer period to think it through.
Qi Yan leaned on his shoulder and whispered:
"It's not that I want to force you. I really want a name and a lovely child. However, this matter is not so urgent. You can think about it slowly. Also, even if we get married, I will not tie you to my side. You should do what you want."
Du Shaojie nodded silently and said nothing more.
Time flies.
Xiaoya and Shen Rui went to Shanghai to report, and the work was settled.
Du Shaojie discussed with his mother and decided to go to Shanghai on the way back to meet Shen Rui's family.
Xiaomei also wanted to go, but she didn't have time, so she had to give up.
Du Shaojie went to Shanghai with Wang Yuxiu, and went directly to Du Shaojie's old villa after getting off the plane.
The utilization rate of this house is not high, mainly because Du Shaojie rarely comes here. Fortunately, there are special people to maintain and clean the house, otherwise it will be impossible to live in it for a long time.
"Your child is not in a hurry to get married, but you have bought a lot of houses."
Wang Yuxiu has seen her son's hobbies. The other party has such spacious houses in Guangzhou, Beijing and Shanghai.
She walked around upstairs and downstairs and felt that this house was also very good, but in comparison, she liked the courtyard house in Beijing more.
"Mom, it stands to reason that Shen Rui and his family should come to our house to propose marriage, but we have more free time and we also have a place to live in Shanghai. Let them come here when the time comes."
Du Shaojie went into the house and made a pot of tea first, and took Wang Yuxiu to sit on the balcony to chat.
Wang Yongli went to [Xichuan Restaurant] as he instructed, and later brought back some ready-made food.
"That's right, as long as we don't come to the door first, we can wait for them here."
Wang Yuxiu was also easy to talk to, and didn't care about some details.
Du Shaojie then stood up and arranged a lunch with Wang Yongli.
"Boss Du, the store only has one ordinary Santana car, which is occasionally used to serve big customers."
Wang Yongli went to [Xichuan Restaurant] and drove the store's only sedan over.
He didn't know whether the car would satisfy the boss, so he asked a question.
"It doesn't matter, it's just a means of transportation, let's take it."
Du Shaojie didn't mean to show off this time, but he couldn't let others look down on him. This Santana is just right.
Now it's not like the later generations. Ordinary people don't have small cars at home. Santana is a luxury in the eyes of many people.
In the afternoon, he called Xiaoya's unit and finally talked to his sister. He didn't say anything else, just asked the other party to come directly after work.
Xiaoya had come to Shanghai to play before and could find the old villa.
Du Xiaoya was naturally very happy to know that her mother and brother were coming, and she ran over after work.
"Brother, I'm still in internship. When you called me today, I was a little reluctant to call me. But I don't care. The phone is public, not his, right?"
Xiaoya ate the food made by her brother, her eyes full of stars.
She had just started working and was ordered around every day, but she didn't have many ideas. Every new employee went through this, and it would be much better when she became a regular employee.
She wanted to ask her brother when he planned to meet Shen Rui's family, but she was a little embarrassed.
Wang Yuxiu sat there and ate quietly. Her son had always been in charge of family affairs, and she had long been accustomed to it.
"Wait two days, and then tell Shen Rui that mom and I have arrived. As for when his family will come, you can ask him to go back and discuss it. Just give him a heads up in advance after the discussion."
Du Shaojie was not in a hurry. His mother had just arrived, and he wanted to take her around more.
Xiaoya understood immediately after hearing it.
"Okay, I know."
After talking about business, Wang Yuxiu took his daughter to ask questions, and the mother and daughter seemed to have endless things to say.
After dinner, Xiaoya did not go back, but stayed at home. Although there are dormitories in the unit, the conditions are very ordinary, and it is not as comfortable as living at home.
The next day.
Du Shaojie accompanied his mother around the city. Anyway, they had a car and Wang Yongli was quite familiar with the roads, so it was convenient to go anywhere.
At noon, they had a Western meal. Wang Yuxiu was not used to it at all. In the end, she went out to eat a bowl of small wontons, and she was full.
In the evening.
Wang Yongli drove Du Shaojie and Wang Yuxiu to the Statistics Bureau. After picking up Xiaoya, they went directly to [Xichuan Restaurant].
For their family of three, they are more accustomed to heavy-tasting meals.
"Brother, I'm busy these two days. I won't see Shen Rui until the day after tomorrow."
Xiaoya ate happily. Now that she is working, she is naturally embarrassed to ask her family for money. She dare not go out to eat and drink with that little salary. She usually eats in the company cafeteria.
After dinner, when they returned home, Du Shaojie took out 10,000 yuan and stuffed it into his sister.
"Take some time to buy some clothes these two days, preferably formal clothes. You should pay attention to work."
Xiaoya wanted to refuse, but seeing her brother's expression, she nodded and said nothing more.
Du Shaojie has been a bit busy recently, and he has neglected Xiaoya's problem of lack of money when she just started working, and he feels a little guilty. But this is just a small matter. Others can get by on their salary, so Xiaoya can naturally get by.
He didn't think much about it, put down the money and walked out of his sister's room. Two days
later.
When Xiaoya and Shen Rui were dating, they told each other that their mother and brother had arrived in Shanghai.
Shen Rui didn't dare to neglect it, and went home to discuss it with his parents.
His parents had met Xiaoya and were very satisfied with Xiaoya's conditions in all aspects.
They decided to visit her at the weekend, but the time was a bit rushed. Not only did they need to prepare suitable gifts, but they also had to book a restaurant in advance. Shen Rui's parents simply took a day off and took the time to get these things done.
Weekend.
Du Shaojie and Wang Yuxiu got up early and cleaned the house spotlessly.
At 9:30 in the morning, Shen Rui accompanied his parents into the small villa.
Mr. and Mrs. Shen were both ordinary employees, and they couldn't help but look at each other after entering the door.
Xiaoya's family conditions don't seem to be what her son said. Her mother has no job and her brother opened a restaurant in Yangcheng. If that's the case, how could she own such a beautiful small western-style building in Shanghai?
The two of them were a little nervous.
"Uncle Shen, Auntie, please come in!"
At this time, Du Shaojie and Xiaoya came out and invited Shen Rui's family of three into the house.
Wang Yuxiu took the initiative to greet the future in-laws, and then the host and guest sat down and started chatting about some trivial matters.
Du Shaojie looked at Shen Rui's father. Old Shen was in his forties and less than fifty years old. At first glance, he was a small cadre working in a government agency. The other party didn't say much and always kept a polite smile.
Shen Rui's mother, probably because of her job, talked a lot, and her personality seemed to be stronger than Old Shen.
"Xiao Du, I heard that you are a chef? That's amazing. You have already achieved success at such a young age. Lao Shen and I have worked hard all our lives, but we are afraid that we can't catch up with you."
"Auntie, look at what you said. I was just lucky and caught up with a good year. My cooking skills are not bad, and my business is so-so. After all, I am not a self-employed person. Unlike uncle and aunt
, they are state cadres with different status and position." "What's wrong with being a self-employed person? Not to mention that the current trend has changed, you have the ability to open a restaurant, which is incomparable to ordinary people. Xiao Rui often mentions you to us, and he admires you very much."
Lao Shen's family status is obviously lower. It was Shen Rui's mother who talked for so long.
The same is true for Du Shaojie. Wang Yuxiu didn't say much, and it was clear who was in charge.
Later, Xiaoya came in with cut fruits and invited Shen Rui's family to eat fruits.
Lao Shen glanced at his wife, meaning that it was time to get to the point, right?
