Chapter 511 A Surprise Delivered to Your Door
It was already three in the afternoon when I got home. I caught up on some sleep and didn't get up until five. I had just washed my face when I got a call from Lao Xiao.
Lao Xiao said he had reported to General Manager Chen that the procurement of materials for the Tanhuali project did not require public bidding. They could just contact him on their own.
I said, "Then I will contact you."
Lao Xiao said, "There is one more important thing. We need to ask the master to choose a date for the foundation laying."
"April 4th is a good day to break ground. It also gives you plenty of time to prepare."
After discussing these two things, I talked to Lao Xiao about some measures to deal with the Black Tooth Dog. We chatted for half an hour before hanging up.
After sitting for a while, I called Xiang Sanqiu and told him that he could contact Mr. Xiao about the sand and pebbles. Sanqiu thanked me repeatedly on the phone.
I said, "Don't make it public after you sign the contract. After the groundbreaking ceremony, start delivering the materials. If the Black Fangs try to stop you, notify me before taking action. Don't act rashly on your own."
After making these two calls, I went for a walk by the lake. Halfway around the lake, the phone rang again. "Teacher Wan, this is Yu Fang. Mr. Fang introduced me to you. I came to you for advice on my mother-in-law-daughter-in-law relationship..."
"Well, don't explain, I know."
"Last time you gave me a good idea and didn't count the money. I have to trouble you again this time. I will definitely count the money. When are you free?"
I didn't comment. It's not okay to not count money every time, but I haven't set any rules here at Huaxi Lake, so it seems I need to set a price.
"I'm free tonight, come over."
I called Xiaolin and asked her to make a small sign for me that said: Consultation fee: 500 yuan per hour.
During dinner, Xiaolin brought the signs back. My mother said, "That's too many, isn't it?"
I laughed and said, "If it's less, people won't take what I say seriously."
My mother suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, how are Master and his wife doing?"
I explained it a bit. My dad said, "Right, it's best if you don't call. Life becomes dull as we age. We need some unexpected surprises in life."
My mother said, "Shanhong, if you want to accompany me back to visit your uncles, don't call them first."
I smiled and said, "You put your knowledge into practice right away, but we're quite busy right now. When we have time, we'll go back and we won't let Yifan know."
My mother was so happy that her face was full of smiles.
Xiao Lin said, "Don't believe him, old man. Yesterday, when I went to Master's house, I asked him to come to my house, but he refused to go."
My mother looked at me.
I said, "That doesn't fit the principle of surprise. We went there during Chinese New Year and then again a month later. Plus, there wasn't anything specific going on."
Xiaolin stared at me and said, "Quibbling."
My mother was not very happy and kept silent.
After dinner, Xiaolin and I went upstairs. We played with Xiaoyu while Guihua went downstairs to eat. Xiaolin said, "Your mother is unhappy."
I said, "She has very old-fashioned ideas. Don't be too affectionate or too presumptuous with me in front of her. She's still the hostess."
Xiaolin stuck out his tongue.
I said, "Let me be honest with you. I'm a little conflicted about going to your house."
"contradiction?"
"Yeah. If I said I was going to Master's house and visiting them, it would be a bit rude. I think in my mind, Master is more important than them.
If we were to make a special trip to see them, it would be our family of three. After all, your parents would rather see their daughter, grandson, and son-in-law having fun together.
Besides, if I went, why wouldn't you? You're not a government employee, you can manage your own time. This caused some misunderstandings between the two elders.
Therefore, the key to a long-term relationship is to celebrate traditional holidays and birthdays. Don't be hot and cold."
Xiao Lin said, "I can't argue with you. You're so good at talking."
"It's normal for relatives to visit each other. Don't be hot and cold. But people who are not related by blood should visit each other more often."
Xiao Lin said, "Master Wan, I surrender to you, okay?"
I laughed out loud: "I'm just kidding, but there's a saying that goes, every joke is half true."
At this time, the phone rang.
"Teacher Wan, are you free now?"
"Yes, come here."
I went downstairs and into the study. I placed the price list on the tea cabinet in the corner and made some tea. A moment later, Yu Fang came over.
I went out to see the sky, and then came back to see Yu Fang's expression. I noticed that her smile was a little unnatural, so I poured her a cup of tea and said,
"Did something unhappy happen at work?"
She smiled bitterly and said, "You can tell at a glance."
I stopped talking and just looked at her with a smile.
She said, "I want to resign, but I'm not sure if this is the right decision. I'd like you to give me a fortune telling."
I nodded and gave her a pen and paper.
She wrote the word "Ci".
I glanced at him and said, "Don't interrupt me when I'm talking. Don't speak until I want you to answer."
She nodded.
"When you wrote the word 'Ci', it didn't mean you really wanted to resign. It was just that you were criticized by your boss and were feeling very upset..."
She was about to speak, but felt it was inappropriate, so she picked up the cup and took a sip of tea.
"Why do I say this? Because the original meaning of the word 'ci' is not what we mean by resignation, farewell, or refusal. It means the suspect is writing a statement of defence.
That is to say, if the other party is certain that you have committed a crime, you, as a criminal, must appeal and refute each point one by one.
Of course, in your case, it's not that serious.
Analyzing from the original meaning of this word, it means that your leader or supervisor thinks that what you did is wrong, and you argue with him.
This is the current situation. Please tell me, is my inference correct?"
After listening to this, she let out a long sigh and said, "Teacher Wan, you are absolutely right. So do you think I should quit?"
"Because the word 'ci' is very special, I must understand the situation clearly before offering advice to others in order to be responsible."
I wrote the bronze inscription "Ci" on a piece of paper and pointed to it, saying that the character "Si" on the right side of the bronze inscription "Ci" refers to "Yousi" - in this case, representing a company.
I quit this company and joined that one. I want to see whether the company is wrong or you are wrong before I make a conclusion.
Yu Fang nodded and said, "I work in finance at Shu Yuanyan's company. It was very pleasant before, but after his daughter Shu Mei took over, things became unhappy."
I was shocked. I also wanted to know about the situation of "Yuanyan Brand Mineral Water". What's more, this was the internal situation? It was really a surprise delivered to my door.
Yuanyan brand mineral water is the only competitor of Dongli brand mineral water.
Although my heart was filled with emotion, I kept a calm expression and said, "I know. She's the owner of the largest mineral water brand in Upstate. Miss Shu."
Yu Fang asked, "Do you know him?"
"It doesn't matter whether you recognize me or not, just tell me."
Yu Fang said: "This is what happened..."
