Chapter 452: The embarrassment of not being able to recruit anyone
The summer of 1986 had just passed, and the autumn tiger was still there.
Luo Yuzhu was more than four months pregnant, but when she walked, she had already started to walk with her belly bulging out.
From a distance, he looks like a victorious general.
When several dogs in the courtyard saw Luo Yuzhu, they would walk around her cautiously, for fear of provoking her and causing a fit of scolding.
As Luo Yuzhu's cousin, Luo Yuyan had to say hello to her cousin:
"Sister, the hot and sour noodles are ready. Should you eat them in the kitchen or in the yard?"
"It's so hot in the house, let's eat outside."
When Luo Yuzhu heard that her 'afternoon tea' was ready, she automatically came to sit under the grape trellis.
After a while, Luo Yuyan brought the hot and sour noodles, and the aroma that hit her nostrils made Luo Yuzhu salivate.
However, Luo Yuzhu found that her cousin only brought one bowl, and couldn't help but ask:
"Xiaoyan, just the next one? You don't want to eat?"
"Sister, we just had lunch, it's not even two hours old, and I don't have a baby in my belly competing with me for food. You can eat by yourself. I'm not hungry."
Luo Yuyan actually smelled the aroma of hot and sour noodles, and her stomach was full of greed.
But she is a girl and she needs to control her mouth, otherwise she will become fatter and fatter and have a waist like her cousin, which will not be beautiful.
"Then I'll eat it myself."
Luo Yuzhu would not be polite to her sister, so she picked up the kuaizi and was about to eat.
At this moment, a crisp voice suddenly came from next door:
"Sister-in-law, what delicious food did you cook again that made our eldest and second child hungry?"
After Luo Yuzhu heard this, she immediately became happy and responded at the top of her voice:
"Qiaogu, I asked Xiaoyan to cook hot and sour noodles. Can you bring the child over?"
"Okay, sister-in-law, I'll be right away."
Qiaogu took a nap at noon because the weather was sultry and she didn't eat anything.
Now that she was awakened by the noise of her two children, she felt empty in her stomach. When she heard Luo Yuzhu's invitation, she naturally would not be so polite.
Within a few minutes, Qiaogu came to the door with two children with tears in their eyes.
Luo Yuyan ordered another bowl of hot and sour noodles, but because it was for children, she did not add chili oil.
As soon as Qiaogu entered the yard, she smelled the hot and sour noodles and couldn't help but smile:
"Sister-in-law, you eat spicy food and sour food. Could it be that you are pregnant with twins?"
"How could I know this?"
Luo Yuzhu laughed and said:
"However, the belly of this baby is much bigger than when I was pregnant with Yize. At that time, I was more than five months pregnant, and it was not so obvious yet."
After Qiaogu sat down, she fed the children a few mouthfuls of hot and sour noodles. Her two children had already had lunch. After eating a few mouthfuls of hot and sour noodles, they started running around the yard.
The eldest child is just over two years old, and the second child is a little over one year old. Neither of them can walk fast.
The three women looked at their children and chatted in their native dialect.
It wasn't until about five o'clock in the afternoon.
When Su Mingzhe came back from get off work, the women suddenly realized that another day had passed before they knew it.
"Qiaogu is here too. Just in time, a friend of mine sent me two boxes of prawns. I called Jiang He over and ate them in the evening."
"Thank you, brother. I'll call Jiang He."
Qiaogu has been a bit greedy since she gave birth to a child. When she heard there were prawns to eat, she immediately took out her mobile phone.
[By the way, the best app for reading and listening to books is Yeguo Reading, www.yeguoyuedu.com to install the latest version.]
The mobile phones on the market today are no longer big. Thanks to the hard work of Weilong Communications, small and exquisite mobile phones now occupy most of the market.
Qiaogu uses the latest mobile phone, which has an LCD screen and can send text messages, take pictures, record sounds and other functions.
Soon, Chen Jianghe, who received a call from his wife, rushed over from home. When he saw his wife and children, he did not forget to complain:
"I said why is there no one at home? Come to my eldest brother's house and tell me something."
"Didn't I forget the time while chatting?"
The way Qiaogu and Chen Jianghe get along is very different from a normal couple like Su Mingzhe and Luo Yuzhu. They are like brother and sister, like a couple, and even like a couple.
Su Mingzhe carried the prawns into the kitchen and decided to cook himself today.
When Chen Jianghe saw it, he quickly went in to help his elder brother.
The three women had nothing to do, so they continued chatting.
After a while, the nanny came back from school with Su Yize.
Not long after, Luo Tianbao also came back from school.
With more children, the yard will naturally become more lively.
After dinner in the evening, Chen Jianghe and Qiao Gu left with a child in their arms.
Luo Tianbao also took his nephew back to sleep and rest.
Su Mingzhe and Luo Yuzhu started talking about work.
"There are now more than 300 pieces of land under the Golden Dragon Group. Although the external promotion is launched at the same time, each place has different situations, and the final opening time will definitely come first."
Su Mingzhe opened his notebook, and a nationwide project distribution map was displayed in front of Luo Yuzhu:
"Due to the weather, the construction time in the north will definitely be longer than in the south. I plan to travel across the country in the second half of the year to ensure that the project is safely implemented, so as to prevent anyone from violating the project, or shoddy work, and end up with a shoddy project."
"How many people are you going to take?"
Luo Yuzhu was a little worried. Local protectionism has become stronger in recent years. Su Mingzhe's travel across the country is actually equivalent to destroying some people's jobs, which is very hated by others.
"I will bring enough people."
Su Mingzhe also knew that this kind of investigation was extremely hateful, so he decided to take action personally.
Otherwise, he is afraid that all kinds of problems will occur before his 300 pieces of land are completed, which would be disgusting.
Seeing that the man had made up his mind, Luo Yuzhu said nothing more.
Su Mingzhe went into battle to solve the problem personally because he had no available people.
The number of domestic university graduates is too small, and companies cannot hire many useful talents even if they hire them with high salaries.
Among the generals he has now, in addition to more than thirty management talents from Xiangjiang, only one Chen Jianghe is left as the backbone.
The problem is, Chen Jianghe is too soft-hearted and too gullible.
Su Mingzhe was also afraid that Chen Jianghe would be deceived by others' words.
In order not to waste time due to accidents, Su Mingzhe decided to make the trip himself.
Soon, September passed and the golden autumn arrived in October.
Su Mingzhe rushed to Guangdong Province, which is very close to Xiangjiang.
Su Mingzhe acquired more than thirty pieces of land here, accounting for one-tenth of the total investment.
When Jinlong Supermarket is developing in full swing, other groups are not idle either.
Many groups have begun to take shortcuts and directly ‘acquire’ or ‘contract’ department stores that are still profitable.
Many private companies have made a fortune quickly through this method.
Su Mingzhe naturally heard about the practices of these groups.
However, Su Mingzhe did not express any opinion on this and was not prepared to join in.
I don’t lack that little money, let alone that little time, so there is really no need to take that shortcut.
It was not until New Year's Day, that is, Christmas, that Su Mingzhe confirmed the implementation status of projects in various places one by one and returned to Yanjing.
After New Year's Day, it will be 1987.
Luo Tianbao is already thirteen years old and has grown into a big boy. He is a member of the basketball team of their junior high school.
Su Yize is now in kindergarten. After breakfast every day, he asks the nanny to take him to school. He doesn't miss home at all.
After Su Mingzhe came back, he had dinner with everyone, took a bath himself, and then came to the bedroom.
Luo Yuzhu is pregnant with twins. Her belly is much larger than when she was pregnant with her first child. There are stretch marks on her belly. She has not been able to walk much recently.
"The due date will be next month. I have reserved a bed in the hospital and will go there after New Year's Day."
"It's okay. I feel like the two little guys in my belly are making a lot of noise when I walk these days, and they are getting more and more naughty."
Luo Yuzhu also didn't expect that being pregnant with this second child would be even more painful than the first.
If I had known this was the case, it would be better not to have this second child.
Su Mingzhe asked the woman to sit down beside the bed and stretched out his hands to stretch her muscles.
If a woman does not take good care of herself during pregnancy, it is indeed easy for her to develop diseases in the future.
After New Year's Day, Su Mingzhe sent Luo Yuzhu to the hospital to wait for delivery.
Because the Chinese New Year is approaching, there is still a shortage of beds in the hospital.
Su Mingzhe also spent a lot of money and even found some connections to get a single room.
In these days, if you have money but no power, it is not very easy to use in public hospitals.
In more than ten years, when foreign-funded and private hospitals become popular, these problems will no longer be a problem.
When Luo Yuzhu saw that the man had completed the hospitalization procedures, he did not leave. Instead, he opened his briefcase as if he wanted to continue accompanying him. She couldn't help but feel moved and said:
"You're not going to the company today?"
"Mingzhu Technology is a high-tech company, so we still work here."
As Su Mingzhe spoke, he opened the video conferencing function on his laptop and connected it to the company's ongoing executive meeting.
Luo Yuzhu looked quite strange.
I have heard of conference calls before, but I didn’t expect to see it with my own eyes today.
The advertising slogan of Mingzhu Technology is really right:
"Technology changes life."
In fact, this kind of laptop video conferencing existed abroad in the 1980s and 1990s.
However, China is somewhat lagging behind in the development of the Internet, which makes this particularly rare.
Su Mingzhe remotely controlled the computer and held a senior management meeting, which covered commonplace issues.
After the meeting, Su Mingzhe walked around the hospital with Luo Yuzhu for a while, and then continued working when Luo Yuzhu was tired.
At noon, Luo Yuyan cooked a meal at home and delivered it to her.
Luo Tianbao and Su Yize stayed at home and came over to see them after school in the afternoon.
After lunch, Luo Yuzhu took a nap.
When she woke up, her cousin Luo Yuyan was beside her.
Luo Yuyan had a good eye, so she took the initiative and said without waiting for her cousin to ask:
"Sister, there is an emergency at the company, and my brother-in-law has gone back to the company."
"What's the emergency?"
"I didn't hear clearly. It seems something happened to the factory over there in my hometown. I want to ask Mingzhu Technology to borrow some money to help with it first."
When Luo Yuzhu heard that it was not a matter of her own company, she didn't care much.
On the other side, Su Mingzhe returned to the company with a headache and called Pujiang to ask about the cause of the accident and the solution.
The person who answered the phone was the manager sent by Mingzhu Technology. His surname was Chen. He was usually a relatively calm person. At this time, he explained with aggrieved tone:
"Boss, the education level of the workers here is too low. The new machines you sent are different from the old machines. Sometimes the employees are used to operating according to the old machines..."
Su Mingzhe became angry when he heard this:
"I have repeatedly emphasized that new machines must be recruited and new employees must be onboarded. For example, can the new employees be qualified only after passing the operation training? How come this kind of thing still happens?"
Manager Chen felt even more aggrieved when he heard his boss's angry words:
"Boss, I also want to recruit new employees here, but I can't find anyone..."
