Xu Dong was going to report to the project department in Hancheng, while Dad Xu was going to inspect the bread branch. The hotel provided a transportation car, which saved a lot of trouble.
He first sent his father to the bread factory, and then came to the head office's Nanchao branch.
That is Hancheng City Electric Power Company.
Basically, all the electricity supply in the entire Chaodong Peninsula is under the responsibility of Daxia Power Grid, and as the situation on the peninsula gradually improves, the head office has added a large market out of thin air.
There is hope that it will rival Yanjing Electric Power Company in the future.
Therefore, the office buildings here are very grandly built, with tall foyers and doors, round arched windows and stone masonry at the corners, which look both solemn and romantic.
Xu Dong couldn't help but secretly cursed the nouveau riche.
After registering his identity, he quickly met a vice president of Hancheng Electric Power Company and a project manager assigned by Yanjing Electric Power Company.
Yanjing Electric Power Company and Hancheng Electric Power Company formed a "one-on-one" assistance cooperation a few years ago. Many construction projects in Hancheng were assisted by Yanjing Electric Power Company.
"Director Xu, we meet again!"
When Xu Dong saw the person in front of him, he was actually an old acquaintance and a former competitor.
Director Cao’s favorite protégé: Li Wei.
"Li Ke...cough, Manager Li, why is it you?"
Li Wei smiled and explained: "I was transferred here last year. Ever since I knew that Director Xu was coming, I have been looking forward to it for a long time."
"Is this considered meeting an old friend in a foreign land?" Xu Dong said with a smile.
"Count it, why doesn't it count?"
After some pleasantries, Li Wei led Xu Dong to an office.
Xu Dong got straight to the point:
"Manager Li, I am here mainly to express my condolences to everyone on behalf of the company. You can do whatever you are supposed to do and don't have to be influenced by me."
It was said to be a condolence, but in fact it was of the same nature as a trip at public expense. When he applied to Mr. Fei, the other party was well aware of it and conveniently arranged such a casual position for him.
"I understand, Director Xu, this is your office. If you need anything, you can tell me."
Li Wei pointed to the office and introduced.
Xu Dong glanced at it and waved his hand directly:
"I won't be able to stay here for long. I don't need to arrange such a good office. I can just get a small office."
Since you are trying to fish, you should have the awareness to fish. Such a luxurious office is both conspicuous and wasteful, and it is easy to teach people the truth.
Besides, he had no intention of staying in the office.
He could just come over every now and then to "check in", but at other times, he wanted to spend more time with his family!
"Director Xu, don't make it difficult for me?"
Li Wei smiled bitterly.
He was afraid that the other party might actually come over for another purpose.
After all, Hancheng is high in the sky and the emperor is far away. It is understandable that the head office wants to send people over to inspect it. No one, including him, dares to neglect the "imperial envoy".
Besides, this person himself is considered a senior executive of the company.
No matter what the purpose is, everyone must take it seriously and be careful not to make a big mistake.
"Manager Li, let me tell you the truth, it's really not necessary, just do as I tell you!"
No matter what the other party thinks, Xu Dong has already made up his mind to keep a low profile on this business trip.
Seeing that the other party was resolute, Li Wei could only let it go: "Well, there is a small single room at the end of the corridor. Can I take you to see it?"
Xu Dong happily accepted: "Okay!"
…
On the other side, Xu's mother brought her whole family to her in-laws' house. Since she came to Hancheng, she had to pay her a visit in person no matter what.
"Bang bang bang...Grandma, we are here to see you."
Lele knocked on the door loudly.
Mother Yang was cooking mung bean soup in the kitchen. She heard a knock on the door and ran over to open the door.
The son and daughter-in-law went to work.
She is the only one in the family.
"Hello, grandma!" the children said all at once.
"Okay, do you miss grandma?"
"Think about it."
Coco and Lele, one on the left and the other on the right, held their grandmother's arms.
With a smile on her face, Mother Yang touched her grandchildren one by one, and then looked at Mother Xu:
"My mother-in-law, why did you come so early? I thought it would be nine or ten o'clock?"
Xu Ma smiled and replied:
"It's better to go out early, the temperature will rise later."
"That's right. I don't dare to go out after nine o'clock for fear that I won't be able to come back."
Mother Yang agreed.
Immediately afterwards, Ma Lingling and his wife took the initiative to say hello: "Hello, mother-in-law."
Mother Yang took Ma Lingling's hand and said, "Mom, this is our beautiful bride, right? She has become a big girl in the blink of an eye."
"It's her, and next to her is Yang Shuo."
"Hello, mother-in-law!"
"As expected, the man is talented and the woman is beautiful, a perfect match."
Mother Yang smiled and praised.
After entering the house, Yang Lina walked around and didn't find her younger brother and sister-in-law. She couldn't help but curiously said:
"Mom, where are my brother and his wife?"
It stands to reason that when guests come to the house, at least one person from the couple should stay at home.
"They both went to work. Your father-in-law is going to inspect the bakery today. It's not easy for them to ask for leave."
Mother Yang replied.
Yang Lina couldn't laugh or cry. She didn't expect that after going around and around, she would actually get involved in her own family.
"Where are Yang Ge and Yang Zhen? Why aren't they at home?"
"The two of them went to summer camp and won't be back until the end of the month."
"Summer camp? Aren't you afraid of heat stroke on a hot day?"
Mother Yang explained while pouring the mung bean soup: "The summer camp is organized by the school. They said they were going back to China to visit the summer palace and there were other experience activities. They just started yesterday."
"Want money?"
Yang Lina asked curiously.
My children have never participated in any summer camps since they were young, and I have never heard of similar activities in other schools.
"It's considered free. Room and board are included, but food is not included."
"so good?"
"I don't quite understand what kind of exchange activity it is. Anyway, it's a good thing."
After pouring the mung bean soup, Mother Yang began to invite everyone to come over and drink the soup. There was nothing more refreshing than mung bean soup at the moment.
Xu Ma took a sip of mung bean soup and then said with concern:
"My mother-in-law, are you still used to being here?"
"Get used to it." Mother Yang nodded, "Let me tell you, here is much better than my hometown. As long as you are willing to spend money, there is nothing you can't buy, even a big meal of fish and meat."
“Are things expensive?”
"It's hard to say. Generally, daily necessities are a bit expensive, especially those imported from China. Of course, there are also cheap ones. For example, hiring a nanny is very cheap. It only costs more than 1,000 yuan a month."
Yang Lina took the opportunity to persuade: "Mom, since hiring a nanny is so cheap, why not ask Bangxiang to find a nanny? You are getting older, so you should rest more often."
"What kind of nanny should I hire? It's a waste of money. There aren't many houseworks at home anyway. Mom can do it."
Mother Yang speaks the truth.
Life in Hancheng is much more comfortable than in Porcelain City.
