Before the new factory manager could say anything more, his father, who was standing next to him, interrupted him.
"Alright, your uncle and aunt aren't outsiders. Just support them with your clothing in the future, right, big brother and sister?"
Mr. Mu smiled and said, "Yes, if you encounter any difficulties in the future, come to us. We will definitely help you with anything we can."
After saying that, the three adults ignored the still hesitant young man and sat down to chat and laugh.
The new factory manager, Dongfeng, looked at the three of them with mixed feelings. For the first time, he questioned his own beliefs. A garment factory could be corporatized, but relationships between people are built through interaction, not by binding them together with interests.
When her parents went back, they told Lin Chuchu about it, Lin Chuchu said.
"Mom, if the garment factory needs anything, you can let me know anytime, and I'll work on some garment design drafts."
She couldn't stand by and watch the garment factory go wrong, and she hoped she could help in some way to reduce the unemployment rate among some workers.
"Okay, I understand. That factory manager is quite good. I heard he's a top student who graduated from university and even studied abroad for two years. He's not married yet. I'd like to introduce him to your sister."
Mother Mu mentioned it briefly. Although in her opinion, the two children were not mature and steady enough, people can be trained. In a few years, they might become seasoned veterans.
"Old hand" isn't a nice word, but someone who's experienced and seasoned should be able to become a qualified leader.
Lin Chuchu didn't want to get into this topic; she always felt that Liu Xiaonuan wouldn't easily agree to a blind date.
"Your dad and I are really getting old. We can't keep up with the thinking of young people. The future still depends on you young people."
Mother Mu sighed.
Lin Chuchu hugged her arm and said, "Mom, where are you old? I think none of us young people have as much energy as you. Don't say you're old anymore, we're still young."
Mother Mu laughed uncontrollably, "I'm already 60. In a few more years, I won't be able to work anymore. What do you think will happen to the clothing store then?"
She was worried. Mu Chen was a police officer and had no time to manage the clothing store. Lin Chuchu was a researcher and was already busy enough every day, so where would she find the time?
Lin Chuchu had also thought about this question, but she always felt that there was still plenty of time and her parents were still young.
Looking at my mother now, her hair has turned quite gray, and even when she is dressed elegantly and beautifully, it cannot hide the fact that she is getting old.
Everyone gets old, but she wishes time could slow down.
Lin Chuchu lowered her head to hide her heartache.
"Mom, why don't you and Dad quit your jobs? You've earned so much money before, you can use it to travel around now. The policies are getting more and more relaxed. I heard that in two years, you can travel freely without needing a letter of introduction."
"You mean it? That's great! Now we can go and take a look at the houses in the south of the city whenever we want."
"Then I can visit your eldest uncle's house. I've never been there before," Mu's mother said excitedly.
"However, let's wait a few years. We're still young and can work for a few more years."
Lin Chuchu wanted to say a few more words of advice, but her mother interrupted her.
"Don't try to persuade us to retire. You don't know, but our old neighbors have actually gotten worse and worse in health because they suddenly had too much free time."
"When you get older, what you fear most is becoming useless. As long as you have something to do, you won't become a failure."
Okay, Mom is right, but we should also think about the future.
Lin Chuchu returned, and when Mu Chen saw her like this, he thought something had happened.
Lin Chuchu recounted her conversation with her mother.
"Mom is right. They've been busy for so long, and they'll definitely feel uneasy when they suddenly have free time. However, there are some things that should be prepared for earlier."
He hesitated for a moment, then asked, "What do you think about handing the family shop over to Xiaonuan?"
Lin Chuchu's eyes lit up. Liu Xiaonuan was indeed a good choice, but...
“I’m afraid Liu Xiaonuan won’t consider settling down even after marriage. If I continue to be my bodyguard, she won’t be suitable to manage the shop.”
"Back then, Comrade Xiao Lu said he wanted to come back to work for you, but he's still staying at home now, hasn't he?"
Originally, Xiao Lu had planned to become someone's bodyguard, but later, for some unknown reason, he did not continue to work as someone's bodyguard.
According to Fu Bo, Xiao Lu wants to switch to behind-the-scenes work and is currently going through the formalities.
Xiao Lu had been holding a military post, and after giving birth, she had been on leave. Since her original leave was insufficient, she made up for all the leave she hadn't taken before.
Lin Chuchu felt a pang of regret; who could have imagined that Xiao Lu would end up like this?
“If Xiaonuan doesn’t plan to take over the shop in the future, it’s actually easy to handle. You can ask Team Leader Qin. Every year, someone from their team retires, and there will definitely be some people they trust. Why don’t you let your parents train them?”
"When they become the manager of the clothing store in the future, I believe they will be happy to receive a share of the profits each year."
Since people can't be completely trusting, it's better to tie them to the pirate ship with interests. When they're unwilling to leave, they naturally want to earn as much as possible.
Lin Chuchu's eyes lit up; this was indeed a good idea.
"I'll ask Captain Qin first and ask him to find someone he trusts to be his parents' assistant."
"We'll see what Xiaonuan thinks. If she's willing to take over, that would be great. If not, we'll have to use the second method."
Having solved a major problem, Lin Chuchu felt relieved.
The two lay on the bed, talking in hushed tones.
Over the years, the two of them have been busy with their own things, and the time they can spend together in such a relaxed manner is very short.
The time the two of them spent chatting was even shorter.
It wasn't until very late that I finally fell into a deep sleep.
The next morning, when Lin Chuchu woke up, her family members were either at work or out, and even the children had gone out to play.
Lin Chuchu's habit of sleeping in late hasn't changed over the years; she won't get up too early whenever she's on vacation.
After finishing her meal, Lin Chuchu decided to visit her friend's house.
When they arrived at Du Lingling's house, Du Lingling was not home, and there was a commotion coming from next door.
It happened to be at Grandma Hou's house. Fearing something might happen to her, Lin Chuchu quickly led Liu Xiaonuan and Team Leader Qin over.
When we arrived, we saw Researcher Hou holding the child and protecting the grandmother by leaning against the side.
The child trembled and clung to his father's arms.
Du Lingling was arguing with a woman whom Lin Chuchu did not recognize.
Seeing that the two were getting into a heated argument, Lin Chuchu quickly went to Du Lingling's side.
"What's going on? Who are you? Why are you arguing in someone else's house?"
