Lu Feng noticed a chubby little boy in the front row staring in his direction, clearly unhappy that his mother had asked him to come.
“We’ll talk to her about this in a bit. It would be best if the parents could handle it. If that doesn’t work, we can have the teacher assign a class to them!” Jiang Xiaoyan said.
"Is it possible that it's not my child's problem?" Lu Feng knew Duoduo quite well; that guy was a real scumbag, and there was no way he would be interested in that little boy.
"Isn't it your child's fault? Did you think my child would force money on me? Mr. Lu, you're a respectable person, this isn't how you talk!" the woman said, getting agitated.
"No, no, the issue I was referring to about puppy love is that both kids are willing. The problem with my Duoduo is that she has more suitors!" Lu Feng looked at her and said, "There's nothing we can do about children resembling their parents in appearance. My husband and I have had this problem before."
When the male student's parents heard Lu Feng praising their family of three in such a roundabout way, they probably would have started cursing him right now if it weren't for his wealth and power.
"Let the children handle their own affairs." Lu Feng looked for Duo Duo and waved to her.
Duoduo walked over and politely greeted Auntie, then told her about her relationship with her male classmate. She said she didn't like him at all, but the problem was that he kept stuffing gifts into her desk.
The boy's mother called him over and told him personally that she didn't like him and that he should focus on his studies.
Lu Feng could see the tears that the classmate was trying to hold back, and he seemed to hear the sound of a fragile heart breaking. The parents around him were also whispering among themselves, saying, "What kind of family wants to date that girl?"
After the welcome party ended, Lu Feng took Duo Duo to the cafeteria, reminding her to study hard along the way. Of course, Lu Feng had been through this age himself, and he knew that no matter how much he said these things, it was like talking to a fart in a child's ears.
Inside the staff canteen on the second floor of the school cafeteria, the principal hosted a dinner, accompanied by Duo Duo's homeroom teacher and two substitute teachers. Vice Mayor Liu also came over.
At the dinner table, both the principal and the teachers praised Duo Duo for being sensible. Lu Feng smiled but remained silent. He knew all too well whether his child was sensible or not.
"Regarding the school counselor, I'll have someone from my charity foundation contact you. It's just the salary of a few dozen people, not much money in a year. It's all for the child's growth." Lu Feng looked at the teacher, raised his glass, and said, "This kid is a bit mischievous, so you'll have to take good care of him. Thank you for your hard work."
"Mr. Lu, you're too kind!"
Several teachers stood up slightly, raised their glasses and clinked them with Lu Feng's. Vice Mayor Liu, who was standing to the side, said, "I also have to thank President Lu for creating dozens of jobs for the city."
“I’m doing this for the children! I just can’t spare the time. The children’s mother was planning to expand production at her company, but because she has no one to take care of them, she had to give up the expansion. No matter how much money you make, if your children are neglected, it’s all for naught.” Lu Feng glanced at Duo Duo beside him and sighed.
"Huasha is no longer operating its factory in Tianjin?" Vice Mayor Liu seemed to have grasped something.
"We've switched to OEM manufacturing. The market for daily chemical products is too competitive, so we're mainly focusing on cosmetics," Jiang Xiaoyan replied.
"Businesses need to develop, and families need to be taken care of too. If things aren't going well in Tianjin, we can develop in Shenzhen. Don't worry about the children, I'll take care of them!" Vice Mayor Liu patted his chest and said, "I pick her up from school every day and help her with her homework. If I can't help her, the government agencies can help her with everything."
Lu Feng was secretly alarmed when he heard this. He didn't know the current unemployment rate, but judging from Vice Mayor Liu's urgent manner, the situation on the mainland this year was very bad. Even Shenzhen was starting to snatch up businesses in this way.
Jiang Xiaoyan looked embarrassed. She couldn't keep her business afloat, and even if she moved back to Shenzhen to build a factory, she would still be no match for Libai, whose headquarters were in the south.
“I believe Vice Mayor Liu can take care of the child in Xiaoyan’s place, but you can’t give the child maternal love.” Lu Feng smiled and said, “No one can replace you. I’m also busy in Hong Kong. Is the job market not doing too well lately?”
"It's alright, but there's a shortage. Mr. Lu, could you arrange for some production facilities to be moved back here? The conditions will be extremely favorable, and you'll be treated like foreign-invested enterprises." Vice Mayor Liu said, smoking a cigarette. "It doesn't have to be semiconductors; clothing, footwear, toys, food, and small appliances are also fine!"
Lu Feng could tell that they wanted labor-intensive enterprises with low barriers to entry, making it easy to provide employment for a large number of workers. He wanted to help, but at this time, anyone who opened a business would go bankrupt. People couldn't find jobs, dared not spend money, and had no money to spend.
The economy has fallen into a vicious cycle. The only options are to rely on external forces, such as bringing in a large number of businesses to boost employment and attract capital inflows, or to engage in massive monetary easing!
