In fact, I know in my heart that Yu Min's biggest problem now is her lack of experience and lack of confidence. But she has one advantage. Her heart is full of desire to make money. This is her biggest motivation at present.
I thought about it and then said to her: "Yu Min, let me tell you a story."
"I like to listen to stories the most. It can't be pornographic, right?" she laughed.
I didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Be serious. I'm going to tell you something serious."
So she stopped talking. Then I continued: "A Swedish doctor who has a special liking for desert exploration. When he was young, he tried to cross the Sahara Desert in Africa. On the night when he entered the hinterland, there was an overwhelming storm.
He lost everything: the guide disappeared, the camels loaded with water and food disappeared without a trace, and even the bottle of champagne that had been opened to celebrate his thirty-sixth birthday was spilled. Death
Fear came from all directions, and his hand nervously reached into his pocket. Apple, I have another apple! He woke up from despair. A few days later, he was rescued by the local indigenous people who were dying. They were greatly confused.
What was puzzling was that the unconscious man was holding an apple that was complete but too shriveled to look like. It was held so tightly that no one could take it out of his hand. At the beginning of the last century, this life
A legendary old man passed away. When he was dying, he wrote this epitaph for himself: I still have an apple."
She asked me: "Apple? Why doesn't he eat it?"
I think she is a bit stupid, "If he had eaten it, he might have died long ago, because after eating that apple, he would have no hope. I don't know what other people think of this apple. There is no doubt that it can
It is regarded as the embodiment of faith, but I prefer this understanding more wishfully: when God puts you in a desperate situation, he will definitely give you a life-saving apple, which is hidden in a certain pocket of your body.
.Therefore, there is no need for you to complain that you are not good at anything. You should spend your sighing time looking for this apple. As long as you can find it, you will be able to walk out of the desert of life easily and happily. That apple, in fact,
That's your strength. Yu Min, do you understand what I mean?"
"I understand, you are my apple." She said.
I couldn't laugh or cry again, but then I smiled bitterly, because I found that she was not actually that stupid.
During dinner, I called home. After learning that everything was fine at home, I went out to have a meal with Yu Min. I also gave her a set of keys to my villa.
"Every time I go, I will call you." I said to her when we parted after dinner.
When I got home, I had an indescribable feeling in my heart when I looked at Chen Yuan who still looked the same as before. Now, I no longer have sadness or self-blame, and the only thing left is pity.
.I looked at her sleeping soundly in front of me and said, "Chen Yuan, are you prepared to spend your life like this? Can you bear to keep sleeping like this without getting up to see your son?"
My words were like speaking to the air. I sighed and left. To be honest, I am a little afraid to go back to this home now because I don't want to see her like this.
The child is really cute. He started to giggle when he saw me, and clear saliva flowed from the corner of his mouth. I went to pick him up from the nanny, and his little hand touched my cheek, which made me feel comfortable.
Awesome. To be honest, in my life now, the only thing that can bring me real happiness is my children.
Suddenly I remembered something and hurriedly handed the child over to the nanny, then hid in the study to make a phone call.
First, call Sun Lulu, "How is the situation? That project in my hometown?"
"I just had contact with County Magistrate Long once, and the county is very supportive. Now I am preparing for the design bidding. This matter is a bit troublesome, because the county has requirements. First, it must be in line with their overall plan, and second, we are required to find a
A well-known design company. This will definitely increase the cost," she said.
"This is necessary. Don't be afraid of increasing costs. In the future, if the entire county is renovated to be beautiful, housing prices will go up," I said.
"People in many departments in the county are a little bit resistant. They work both ways. Every time County Magistrate Long is present, all departments agree to it, but after he comes down, they all put off doing things. I invited them to dinner, but it had no effect," she said.
Said again.
"These people are just tough little brats. Buy them some cigarettes, alcohol or something." I said. I know the people below, and the look of the director of Radio, Film and Television that day still makes me feel uncomfortable.
"As a gift, each person received two strips of soft Chinese medicine and two bottles of Wuliangye. It didn't work," she said.
I sneered, "They are eager to give it to them one by one. Have you told County Magistrate Long about these things?"
"No. I don't think I can tell Magistrate Long. If I do that, those people will feel that I often accuse them behind their backs. These people are very troublesome, and they are all very greasy. Now I have a headache. Brother Feng, your hometown
This place is too poor, and the officials have very backward ideas. They always feel that companies come here purely to make money, so they always seem to get some benefit from it. It is completely different with Secretary Lin. The officials there regard us as the God of Wealth.
, thinking that our investment is to promote their local economy, so the service is very good and very enthusiastic," she said.
I can imagine her smiling bitterly now. I also sighed, "Yes, that's the difference. In fact, this is also a vicious cycle. Lulu, so be it, I'm going to make time to come here recently. See if you can think of it
Is there any way to solve this problem? I think you are right, don’t tell County Magistrate Long about these things for the time being. The relationships in small places are complicated, and the quality of officials is also uneven. Let’s talk about it after I come back. You
Prepare the design bidding first. It is best to invite several well-known design units and select the best plan from them. This matter must be done in accordance with the local requirements. That place is my hometown, and I don’t want it to happen in the future.
My hometown elders poked me in the back. My principle is, first of all, make my hometown beautiful, and the design must be forward-thinking. The second thing is to make money. Do you understand?"
"Okay. When will you come?" she asked me.
"I'll ask for leave from the hospital. By the way, don't tell outsiders that the company is mine after I come down. I can only operate some things secretly behind my back." I immediately warned.
"Everyone wants to return home in fine clothes, but you like to walk in fine clothes at night. Haha! I understand." She smiled.
I thought about it for a long time, but still couldn't think of any good way to solve the problems that Sun Lulu just mentioned. Let's talk about it after we get back. I thought to myself. Then I called Dean Zhang, "Dean Zhang, I want to ask you
Please take a leave. I am going to go back to my hometown. I will go back to see my parents and take the children back for them to see."
"How long will it take?" he asked.
"A week at most." I said.
"Well, your situation is special, I will grant you half a month's leave. If you need to extend it, you can just call me at any time." He said.
I was very grateful, couldn't help but thank you, and then said to him: "Did my father-in-law tell you? They have promised to help with your matter. But I need to prepare something."
"I already know. It's not convenient for me to talk about the specific situation on the phone. Xiao Feng, let's discuss such matters in person from now on. Okay?" he said.
I found that I had made another mistake while being grateful, because the phone call said that such things are very easy to cause problems, and it is very taboo for others. So I hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, I will pay attention to it in the future."
"You are the director of the department, so don't worry about the details of the department. You can go back after arranging the department's affairs. It's okay. By the way, you can write a note to me tomorrow and I will sign it for you so that no one else can worry about it in the future.
Gossip." He said.
I found that he was indeed considerate of the problem, so I thanked him again.
Then I called Lin Yi.
"I'm downstairs. I was about to come up. Are you at home?" he asked.
"Here. I'll make tea for you right away." I said, I didn't expect such a coincidence.
He came up quickly, and Shi Yanni was with him.
After entering the house, Shi Yanni went directly to the bedroom. Lin Yi said to me: "Let's go to the study."
I hurriedly brought the teapot and teacup into the study. He took out a cigarette and lit it. I looked at him in surprise, "You don't seem to have smoked before, right?"
"I've been feeling upset recently, so I started smoking. This stuff is really good. It not only relieves fatigue, but also eliminates worries." He said to me with a smile.
I shook my head and said: "Cigarettes are not good at all. Drinking in moderation is good for cardiovascular disease. So you'd better not learn this thing."
"Everything is like this. It should be viewed in two parts. Although cigarettes are harmful to the body, they can always help us do the things we are doing right now. Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. What are you going to say to me when you call me?
matter?"
So I told him about the phone call I had just had with Dean Zhang, and by the way, I also told him about my plans to go home.
"You should go back." He nodded, and then asked me: "How is the situation of the project? Did you encounter any trouble?"
I had to admit his sensitivity and wisdom, and then nodded and said: "Yes, we are indeed encountering some problems at the moment." So I told him the situation that Sun Lulu told me.
He immediately laughed and said, "This matter is easy to handle."
I looked at him in surprise, "It's easy to handle? What can I do?"
"You are really a fan of the authorities. You have such a suitable person to help you do this job, why didn't you think of it?" He said with a smile.
I was even more surprised, "Who is it? Why can't I remember?"
"Your father." He said with a smile, and then threw the cigarette butt into the trash can next to him, and then poured some tea into it. The trash can made a slight "squeak" sound. I hurriedly said: "I'm sorry.
, I don’t smoke, so I didn’t prepare an ashtray. I’ll get you a bowl.” (To be continued)
