Chapter 361 Time Flies 4
With the help of Zheng Hongtao and Zhao Youfu, Zhao Peng's construction company developed rapidly and became the most famous construction company in Rongcheng in more than two years.
Zhao Yi also felt relieved to hand over all the work in his hands to Zhao Peng.
He took Zhang Jing to settle down in Kyoto, planning to spend his retirement as a landlord in Kyoto.
Zhang Jing bought two courtyard houses in Kyoto. She rented out the larger one to others to cook private dishes, and lived in the smaller one with Zhang Jing.
I also bought quite a few floors in Kyoto, with twenty properties in total.
You don’t have to do anything, and the money you collect from rent in a year is enough for you to travel around the country.
"You advised me to retire to my hometown, but you came to Kyoto instead."
Zhao Yi came to the residence of Mr. Tang and Mr. Zheng with gifts. The two were playing chess when they were notified of Zhao Yi's visit. After getting permission, Zhao Yi was led to the pavilion where the two were playing chess.
"What Mr. Tang said is true. I am here to visit you two elders. When you move back this year, I will move back with you."
Zhao Yi smiled.
"Are you willing to leave?"
Mr. Zheng joked.
"By the way, how is the retirement home going? Has it been built according to my requirements? There must be space around my yard so I can grow some vegetables, preferably peppers."
Mr. Zheng looked at Zhao Yi and asked.
“It’s natural.”
Zhao Yi nodded. These old cadres all like to do some side jobs after retirement. Some like to farm, some like to grow flowers and plants, and some like to raise birds.
Hujia Village is located between mountains and waters, and has very beautiful scenery. Without destroying the scenery, more than 40 small courtyards were built, the river dam of Hujia Village was raised to form a small lake, and an activity center for veteran cadres was built around the lake.
Next to it is the Retirement Home Hospital, which is also open to members of Hujia Village and provides them with free physical examinations and medical treatment.
Zhao Yi has been there once. These constructions have not destroyed the original scenery, but the transportation has become very convenient, whether going to Rongcheng or Pingyang City.
"It just so happens that they have asked us to live there, so you can come back with us."
Mr. Tang looked at Zhao Yi and smiled.
"I have something else to do here and can't leave. I will definitely come to visit you in person during the Chinese New Year."
Zhao Yi waved his hands quickly.
"I said this kid was reluctant to leave."
Mr. Zheng laughed.
After leaving the retirement home, Zhao Yi returned to the Siheyuan Hutong.
At this time, Zhang Jing was busy in the shop she bought.
"Didn't I tell you that your family is not short of money, and you even started a small business."
Zhao Yi looked at Zhang Jing and said helplessly.
"I just cook some noodles. You see, those who work outside are reluctant to eat and wear in order to save a little money. The shop is ours. We sell food at a cheaper price to feed ourselves, which is also a good thing."
Zhang Jing looked at Zhao Yi and said.
"You can do it if you want. I won't be your free cook."
Zhao Yi did not stop Zhang Jing from doing such things, but he did not want to be busy with these things now.
"I don't do it myself, I hire someone to do it."
Zhang Jing smiled.
“It’s a thankless job.”
Zhao Yi glanced at Zhang Jing and walked back to the courtyard. There was a pond in the courtyard, which contained many fish that Zhao Yi bought from the vegetable market. He would go fishing when he was bored.
I usually go to the park to have some tea.
As soon as I got home, the phone rang.
"Hello."
Zhao Yi picked up the phone and asked.
"Dad, are you coming back with my mom? The work here has been completed and we can invite the old cadres back. I have Uncle Fu's idea for you to come back as well."
Zhao Peng's voice came over the phone.
"Why would I go back? I'm annoyed just seeing them."
Zhao Yi refused.
Now Zhao Peng has become successful, while Zhao Gang has been laid off. Zhao Xiaoxiao is still a clerk, and Zhao Yong is about the same. Apart from Zhao Gang, the two of them are living an acceptable life.
Only Zhao Gang was young and had lost his stable job. When Zhao Yi was in Shanyang County, he often went to the riverside to find Zhao Yi. When Zhao Yi was in Pingyang City, he often came to the department store to find Zhao Yi.
Zhao Yi was frightened by his shameless behavior.
There was no way to avoid it. Li Daju came to Zhao Yi every day to plead for help, hoping that Zhao Yi could help arrange a job for her, whether it was a garment factory, a restaurant, or Zhao Peng's construction company.
How dare Zhao Yi employ such an ungrateful person? He refused without a second thought.
As for Zhao Xiaoxiao and Zhao Yong, although they did not come as often as Zhao Gang, they also asked Zhao Yi for help every now and then, hoping that Zhao Yi would use his connections to help them get a rating, hoping to get a full-time section chief level position.
Zhao Yi is not a fool, how could he possibly help them do these things? In the end it will all be his own efforts. Even if he doesn't help, it is certain that they will take the position they want.
Out of sight, out of mind.
"Okay, I'll tell Uncle Youfu."
Zhao Peng nodded, understanding what his father was worried about, which was that he didn't want to see his uncle and aunt.
Sheng Ding Hotel.
The original small restaurant has become a five-story hotel with guest rooms in the back. It is considered a relatively high-end hotel in Pingyang City. It has always been run by Chen Fen and Zhang Xiang, and the two families split the profits 50-50.
"What did your dad say?"
Li Daju looked at her eldest grandson and asked.
Now Zhao Gang can only do some temporary work in the city. Zhao Peng dare not hire Zhao Gang unless Zhao Yi agrees. Although he doesn't know what the conflict between them is, Zhao Peng still respects Zhao Yi's words.
"My dad said he can't come back."
Zhao Peng shook his head.
Zhao Gang's face turned very ugly when he heard this. He had only done one thing to let Zhao Yi down at the beginning, which was to secretly go to the street office to report Zhao Yi for tampering with televisions.
That was after Zhao Yi stopped associating with his family. He had never done anything to let Zhao Yi down before.
If the factory had gone bankrupt, he wouldn't have had to come to Zhao Yi and beg him to apologize. He had done everything, but Zhao Yi just wouldn't give in. Now he has gone to Kyoto and refused to meet his old general.
"If mom can't do it, forget it. Big brother doesn't like me anyway."
Zhao Gang has given up, and Zhao Yi is determined not to have any contact with them anymore, so there is no point in begging him further.
"Uncle, I don't think you have to ask my dad for help. There are many jobs in the city now, and you don't have to be stable to have a future. My dad not giving you a job doesn't mean that the wholesale mall won't wholesale goods to you.
You see, Aunt Linzhi didn't just make her fortune by introducing clients. You can try a small business. Didn't my second uncle's family make their fortune by selling a grocery store? ”
Zhao Peng doesn't have a bad impression of Zhao Gang, Zhao Yong and Zhao Xiaoxiao. It's just that his father doesn't allow him to help, so he can still offer some advice.
"Okay, I'll give it a try then."
Zhao Gang nodded.
At first I thought doing business had no future and if I did it again I might get implicated. But now it seems that doing business is a very good thing. Lin Zhi's family has built two houses in front of the station, and the hotel business is particularly good.
