I didn't work overtime at night, but there was a business bureau, which meant I still worked overtime. It was already past nine o'clock when I finished. The driver drove to take Jiang Qinghuai back first, and then took Mr. Wei home.
"I'm leaving~"
Jiang Qinghuai also drank some wine and his face turned red. After getting off the car, he waved to Wei Qingfan and said goodbye to the driver before turning around and leaving.
"Qingqing~"
With her thoughts on her mind, she walked forward for a while when she suddenly heard someone shouting from behind. She turned around and saw Cao Ze and Xie Yao walking hand in hand under the street lamp.
"You just came back?"
Jiang Qinghuai stood still and asked with a smile after they came closer.
"Um."
Xie Yao nodded and asked again: "Did you just get off work?"
"That's right."
Jiang Qinghuai smiled and said, "In the evening, at the Commerce Bureau, Linjiangxian will be on sale soon. Let the channel dealers have dinner together..."
"No wonder."
Cao Ze laughed and said, "I just said that the Mercedes-Benz just looked familiar. Did Wei Qingfan send it to you?"
The two of them are relatively familiar with Jiang Qinghuai and have a good relationship, but emotionally they are naturally more inclined to Li Miaoyu, and are somewhat wary of Jiang Qinghuai, especially after knowing each other for so many years, they gradually discovered that Li Miaoyu is underneath Li Miaoyu's cold appearance.
Because of her innocence, she was even more worried that she would suffer a loss in the "house fight".
Jiang Qinghuai was aware of this, but didn't care. Zhou Li and the others were still worried about her all day long, but now they are against it. In the future, they will most likely make suggestions for their own "house fights".
"Probably, he just left."
Jiang Qinghuai smiled and explained, "It's probably quite dark, so I didn't see you in the car."
"Um."
Naturally, Cao Ze and Xie Yao didn't care about this. They came over and the three of them walked back together. They lived in the next building and were very close to each other.
"Has your new home been packed up?"
"That's almost it... Hey, how much does your utility bill cost per month?"
"The electricity bill is around 100, the water bill is over 20, and the gas bill is around 20..."
The two girls discussed their daily lives, and Cao Zecai finally had the opportunity to ask: "How is the purchasing situation in Linjiangxian?"
“It’s a little bit underwhelming.”
Jiang Qinghuai sighed, "The first batch of stocks is 10 million units, but there are not that many in stock. Everyone is rushing to grab the first batch. We are still noisy at dinner at night."
Cao Zedao: "Isn't it like this every year, but the popularity of Linjiang Immortal seems to be even higher than last year."
"Um……"
The three chatted for a few words and separated in front of the unit door. Jiang Qinghuai returned home and saw it was dark inside. Knowing that Zhou Li had not returned yet, he turned on the light himself.
She sent a message to Zhou Li, and then went to take a shower, washing her body in the steaming water while thinking about various complicated things in her mind.
After coming out of the bathroom, the living room was still empty. She stood there for a moment and felt that it was necessary to get a pet. Dogs were too troublesome, but cats were more troublesome.
She couldn't make a decision right away, so she just thought about it, then went back to the room, dried her hair, and looked at the time, it was almost ten o'clock.
She hesitated for a moment, then sent a voice message to her father: "Dad, are you sleeping?"
Jiang Qifeng quickly replied, although it has been a long time since he learned to use a smartphone, but perhaps because of the habits left over from the first time he used it, when he speaks, it always gives people an unnatural feeling of being too serious.
:
"Ah, I haven't slept yet."
"You haven't slept yet, what's wrong?"
Jiang Qinghuai thought for a while and dialed a video call directly. After a few rings, the call was connected. Jiang Qifeng showed half of his head on the screen.
——When he opened the video, he only looked at others, not himself, and did not pay attention to the angle of the camera in front of him.
"Hey, Dad."
Jiang Qinghuai waved his hand, and a smile appeared on half of Jiang Qifeng's face, saying, "Hey, why are you still up so late?"
"It's not too late."
Jiang Qinghuai said angrily, "You didn't sleep either?"
"I'm reading a book. I'm so busy every day that I can only read a book at night."
Jiang Qifeng said with a smile, "But it's almost time to go to bed. Going to bed late is not good for your health."
"It's strange that you can go to bed early."
Jiang Qinghuai rolled his eyes, "I go to bed very early every day, and Zhou Li is still working overtime. When she comes back, we will all be ready to go to bed."
"I'll go to bed early too..."
Jiang Qifeng coughed and asked: "How are you doing recently? There are quite a lot of people in your company, right? There should be quite a lot of young people. Don't be too picky if you find the right ones. The people we can come into contact with are ordinary people, and we are ordinary people too."
People have to choose with ordinary people’s eyes..."
"Oh, why are you talking about this again!"
Jiang Qinghuai was a little helpless and changed the topic: "Let me tell you something..."
She originally wanted to talk about Liu Yubing, but after thinking about it, she felt it was too abrupt, so she asked instead: "How is your work?"
"That's good. Your dad is so old, why do you still need to worry about him?"
Jiang Qifeng smiled and said, "Don't worry, don't always think that your dad is unconventional. I know it well."
Of course he knew it, and he knew very well that he could no longer work in the newspaper office.
On the one hand, the performance of newspapers is really sluggish. With the popularization of smart phones, the sales of newspapers have further declined. Moreover, it is not a big newspaper, and there is no way to make a news app like those big newspapers. There is something to say, and I am planning to make one.
What kind of public account should I try... Overall, it's very difficult.
On the other hand, he has offended too many people, and they have begun to put pressure on the newspaper to get out.
And the reason why he hasn't left yet is largely due to the contradictory nature of human beings - at least the Chinese people. Because of what he does, most people would be disgusted with him, and they don't like to talk to him.
But at this critical moment, no one made trouble, not one!
Even many colleagues who were originally hateful actually defended him intentionally or unintentionally. This kind of protection was very subtle and weak. No one spoke up, but the pressure from above was shared by everyone's collective subtle attitude, intentionally or unintentionally.
Come down.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! So much so that he himself did not feel much direct pressure.
If we use one word to describe it, it can probably be called "shirk". But in the past, everyone used to shirk some responsibilities that should be shouldered, but now they shirk his accountability.
Thanks to this kind of cohesion that seems to be only shown at critical moments, Jiang Qifeng's work in the newspaper office can continue.
However, he has already made a decision and plans to resign after the peasant incident at hand is over. He does not want to cause trouble to everyone, and he also knows very well that this kind of "passing the buck" cannot protect him for much time.
Of course, there is no need to tell his daughter these things. He is already old. In any case, it is not a problem to support himself. It is impossible to cause trouble to his daughter and make her worry about her own affairs.
"I'm not worried."
Jiang Qinghuai said helplessly, "Don't be so anxious. As the saying goes, 'the development period must be solved by development.' There are so many people in China, how many things can you manage? The most important thing is not to be so intense,
Give people some mercy..."
"Hey, hey, I know."
Perhaps Jiang Qinghuai was already working and had been away from each other more in the past few years. The father and daughter did not spend much time together, but they became closer. Jiang Qifeng did not refute and nodded to deal with it. Although there was not much sincerity, it was extremely rare for him.
"..."
Jiang Qinghuai knew that it was useless to say anything. He knew that his personality could not be changed all at once after half his life. He knew that this was not what he was talking about today, but he still couldn't hold it back.
She took a deep breath and said, "Dad, are you interested in changing your job?"
"What job should I change and why should I change it?"
Jiang Qifeng showed an attitude of "I'm doing a good job now" and said, "I'm doing fine now, there's no need to change."
"Just listen to me."
Jiang Qinghuai said angrily, "Don't our company also have branches in the provincial capital? Now we are planning to increase our business there..."
"That won't work!"
Jiang Qifeng didn't wait for his daughter to speak and immediately refused, "Isn't the branch your company? I don't want to work for that kid... I would rather beg for food than work for him!"
Although there is no evidence at the moment, he still feels that Wei Qingfan is plotting evil against his daughter. If he takes his salary, he will be "short-tongued and soft-handed", and he will not be able to enjoy scolding him.
"Listen to what I have to say!"
Jiang Qinghuai didn't expect her father to be so prejudiced against Wei Qingfan. She was a little confused and found it funny. She knew what her father was most concerned about, so she said first: "The business we plan to increase this time is charity funds, mainly student funds.
"Don't you always say that education is the first priority in a century-old plan? Are you not interested in the scholarship fund either?"
"..."
Jiang Qifeng obviously did not expect that a mobile phone seller from Gushici Company, who was not good at selling mobile phones, would suddenly start a student fund. He was obviously stunned and was silent for two seconds before saying: "Is the news true? How could your company do this?
"
"If Wei Qingfan said it himself, how can it be false?"
Jiang Qinghuai became a little proud and said with a smile: "When their company's executives have meetings, I am responsible for recording the meetings. It will definitely be held this year, but now the company needs to spend too much money, and many people in the core management are opposed to it.
.”
"Short-sighted!"
Jiang Qifeng sneered, "The most important thing for a commercial company is fame and reputation. Investing in public welfare benefits the country and the people, and investing in education is even more so. In this way, while making money, you can also gain a good reputation, and you can also cultivate potential talents for yourself."
Loyal customers……
"This Wei Qingfan, I didn't expect that he has some structure and vision!"
He had a bad impression of Wei Qingfan, and it was rare for him to say such a thing.
Jiang Qinghuai was happy in his heart and said on his face: "Everyone understands the truth, but how many are willing to do it? And on what scale, how long will it take to see the return?"
This was the truth, and Jiang Qifeng did not refute it.
Jiang Qinghuai continued: "Wei Qingfan also said that education comes first, and when the company makes money, it has to give back to the society and assume its due social responsibilities...
"Through his efforts, the company has basically agreed to the charity fund. However, the company currently spends too much money in various aspects and is short of money, so the initial investment will not be too large."
Jiang Qifeng said: "Don't your company make tens of billions a year?"
"Why make tens of billions!"
Jiang Qinghuai said amusingly, "If he had earned that much, Wei Qingfan would have been the richest man in the country long ago. His revenue is tens of billions, his profit is only over two billion, and his profit margin is very low."
Jiang Qifeng said dissatisfiedly: "You are a part-time worker with a salary of several thousand yuan. You think your boss's monthly salary of hundreds of millions is still insufficient, right?"
"I'm telling the truth."
Jiang Qinghuai muttered softly and added: "The first project is free lunch. Actually, I didn't plan to start a charity fund so early. I originally planned to wait for at least two or three years, but some time ago, one of my senior's juniors went to teach...
…”
She introduced the reason and content of the company's "free lunch" charity project, and Jiang Qifeng fell silent for a while.
Although he has been working hard to do various things of "drawing a sword to help when there is an injustice on the road" and has seen a lot of darkness and poverty in society, after all, he has always lived in a provincial capital and it is a big city.
This situation was also beyond his knowledge and imagination.
