Xia Zekai didn't know when he came over with a plate of fruit. He looked at his younger brother who had a sweet expression on his face and called him: "Zejiang, stop chatting and come here to taste the grapes I just bought."
, sweeter than your falling in love!"
Xia Zejiang really didn't want to talk to him. He was wondering why I fell in love with such an unscrupulous brother like you. It was hopeless!
When I was a kid, it was okay to fight and grab my food, but now you are causing trouble for me. You must have done it intentionally.
"Eat your grapes quickly. I called your sister-in-law. When she comes back from get off work later, let's go out to have some food. I'll take you to the factory tomorrow." Xia Zekai reached out and grabbed a bunch of grapes from the fruit plate. He grabbed them both, stuffed one into the mouths of Yatou and Tongtong, and said, "You two should try it too, it's really sweet."
After saying that, he threw two more grapes into his mouth, bit his lips and teeth, and spit out the grape skins and seeds.
The girl didn't eat the grape skin either. She chewed the pulp and swallowed it. Then she walked to the garbage basket with her mouth pouted and spit out the skin and seeds.
At this point, Xia Zekai and Luo Xiyun are very relieved about their boss. There is no need to worry about her swallowing foreign objects that cannot be chewed, such as chicken bones and fish bones.
But Tongtong failed. She chewed hard for a few times and all the seeds went down.
Xia Zekai was also impressed by the dick's ability to chew and digest, which was completely unlike a kid less than four years old.
When Luo Xiyun entered the house, Xia Zejiang was sitting on the sponge mat on the floor, playing with Yatou and Tongtong, two little kids, building blocks.
The girl was still shouting: "Uncle, I want to build a castle, and the princess will live in it. I will be the princess."
Tongtong quit: "I am the princess!"
"You two are both princesses, and I am the bad guy. I want to capture the princess." Xia Zejiang raised his hands, spread his fingers, and opened his mouth wide, revealing a set of teeth that were not neat. It looked like that.
Yatou and Tongtong seemed to be immersed in the game. Their eyes widened and they quickly backed away in fear. As they backed away, they shouted: "Help, help, the bad guy is going to capture the princess."
"Mom, help me!" Tongtong saw Luo Xiyun entering the door. He stood up and ran towards the door without even wearing his shoes.
Xia Zejiang suddenly heard his niece calling the word "Mom". He was a little embarrassed. When he looked back, he saw that his sister-in-law was really back: "Sister-in-law, you are back."
"Zejiang, it's a holiday!" Luo Xiyun asked him.
Xia Zejiang said 'hmm': "Sister-in-law, I'm on holiday and I have nothing to do. I'll take advantage of the summer vacation to work and earn some money."
"You are so sensible. I didn't know how to work during the summer vacation. I heard your brother said that he was too lazy at that time. He would just go home and stay at home during the vacation and not go anywhere." Luo Xiyun.
Such self-deprecation.
Xia Zekai was lying in the bedroom. When he heard her talking about him, he muttered: "Daughter-in-law, it's almost over. Why isn't it over yet?"
"You're just incredibly lazy. You've been lying in bed during the day. Get up quickly and go eat first." Luo Xiyun criticized him again.
Five people, three large, two small, came out of the house and walked to the barbecue restaurant on the south street.
I ordered a wave of meat and some stir-fried vegetables.
"Do Zejiang drink?" Luo Xiyun asked him.
She said: "Anyway, I have nothing to do tonight, why don't you two have some drinks?"
"Then let's drink beer. I don't drink well, so my brother drinks more." Xia Zejiang said. He really doesn't drink well. He blushes when he drinks and gets sick after two bottles.
"Boss, let's talk about the iced Green Lansha again." Xia Zekai shouted.
While eating barbecue, he asked about interesting things about his younger brother at school. It can be seen from his words and demeanor that Xia Zejiang is quite active and is not the kind of person who just studies.
To be honest, Xia Zekai was quite happy for his brother.
"Go to the factory with me tomorrow. Then you can follow your brother Zhang to work on the Taobao store, study hard, and accept more new things." This is how Xia Zekai considered it.
He had no intention of letting his brother go to the workshop to do baking operations, nor did he plan to let him do packaging.
Finance is too professional and does not match what he studied.
Regarding human resources, I couldn't learn anything in two months. I could only do odd jobs in the past.
"Is a Taobao store just what Taobao Mall sells?" Xia Zejiang is not a good-for-nothing person.
He was also familiar with Taobao shopping in school, but he didn't expect his brother to do this.
Xia Zekai said: "Yeah, I have a Taobao store and it's pretty good. If you can write articles, if you can, I'll teach you some tricks later."
This is his unique skill. If you learn it well, he will dare to brag to his younger brother, and you will have no worries about food and drink for the rest of your life.
In this regard, Xia Zekai really spared no effort to his younger brother, but Xia Zejiang felt miserable as soon as he was told to write an article. He shook his head with a look on his face and said: "What bothers me the most is writing papers. Brother, I'd better forget about writing articles."
"What's wrong!" Xia Zekai looked down upon him and said, "Then let's learn from your brother Zhang first, and let him teach you other computer applications."
Xia Zejiang didn't say anything else this time. The two brothers finished 6 bottles of cold beer. Xia Zekai was still thinking about getting a few more bottles, but his brother's face turned red from drinking.
Luo Xiyun didn't dare to let him drink anymore: "Zekai, the wine is almost enough. You two need to eat more barbecue. You have ordered so much and you can't even eat it."
Xia Zekai was quite smooth: "If you can't eat it, just take it back and use it for cooking."
Luo Xiyun had no idea what to do with him. As she was talking, Xia Zekai asked her: "Daughter-in-law, Xincheng's side should also be on holiday, right? Why is there no movement?"
Luo Xiyun came over and said, "It's already vacation. My mother said that he didn't tell anyone and secretly followed his classmates to do machining in Jiangsu Province."
When talking about this matter, Luo Xiyun became a little irritable. She said, "Just go and leave him alone."
Xia Zekai nodded and said nothing more.
Young people, everyone has their own ambitions, and they can't do it reluctantly.
…
The weather on Thursday was very good, the sky was as clear as blue and as blue as clean sea water.
The temperature is just too high. The highest temperature once again broke this year's high temperature record, reaching 37 degrees. The Qicheng City Party Committee and Municipal Government ordered the suspension of all outdoor high-altitude operations to avoid high temperature heatstroke and falling accidents.
When he woke up in the morning and read the notice while having breakfast, Xia Zekai said disdainfully: "The notice is well written, but it's a pity that no one will listen if there is no accident."
"Just take care of yourself." Luo Xiyun was annoyed the most by him nagging about this and wanting to take care of that all the time. Who do you think he is? He has a lot of problems.
Xia Zejiang saw his brother being trained so hard that he didn't dare to reply a word, and he couldn't help but despise him in his heart: "You have tracheitis, but you still have the nerve to talk to me."
Life is so dramatic.
In the morning, after driving Yatou and Tongtong to the kindergarten, and saying hello to Teacher Shi Rui and old security guard Wang Deshun, Xia Zekai continued to drive with his younger brother Xia Zejiang to Jingtong Food Factory.
They came early today. When they came over, Li Mumu was holding a morning meeting for his employees. When they saw the boss driving a young man over, they were still wondering, is this young man a relative of the boss?
But if you look carefully, you'll see that he looks quite similar to the boss.
After Xia Zejiang got out of the car, he looked at the place carefully. Looking at the plaque of 'Jingtong Food Factory', he couldn't help but despise it. This name was really poorly chosen.
However, the factory building is not small and can accommodate many people working there.
Xia Zekai didn't have time to play charades with them. He took his younger brother and waited aside. After Li Mumu finished the meeting and everyone dispersed to work, Xia Zekai called out to Zhang San: "Xiao Zhang, this is
My brother just got off for the summer vacation. Let him work with you for two months. Don’t let him go. If he needs to work overtime, he will work overtime, and if he needs to be scolded, he will be scolded. "
"Uh!" Xia Zejiang was dumbfounded. He suddenly regretted his decision. He thought it would be better to find a summer job in Qicheng or Zhoucheng. If he came to his brother's place, would he be entering a wolf's den?
Already?
Zhang San was also paralyzed after hearing what his boss said. He felt that he could not grasp this standard. If he was drilled too hard, would his boss settle the score?
"Boss, what exactly do you want Xiaoxia to do?" Zhang San asked bravely.
He thought it would be better to ask in advance.
Xia Zekai looked up at him and said, "Didn't you tell me last time that you were short of people? Let him work for you first. It won't be a problem."
This made it clear. Zhang San nodded and took Xia Zejiang to their office area.
The computers have been configured in advance, and we just need to wait for Wang Yewei to recruit all the people.
But now that Xiaoxia has come to help, he feels that he can temporarily postpone the recruitment plan.
But he was also worried about whether this kid would listen to instructions. If he thought he was the boss's brother and worked with five people and six people, and if he didn't obey instructions, then his work would be very passive.
Fortunately, all his worries were unnecessary. Xia Zejiang was very obedient and did whatever he was told. If he didn't understand something, he just asked. He got started very quickly.
Even Liang Wenxiao and Li Qianqian, who did not know Xia Zejiang's identity, felt great pressure and threats.
The two of them were still thinking in their hearts, who is this guy and what is his relationship with the boss? His ability to work and study is really strong.
After sending his younger brother away and following Zhang San to learn how to operate a Taobao store, Xia Zekai calmed down and began to think about the next development path.
The simple product of Rongdou is obviously too simple, so which one is better to make next?
Having said that, I need to buy some more equipment. There should be more advanced baking equipment, right?
Xia Zekai wrote this down in his notebook and thought about asking Meng Jie about it later.
"Well, should we consider buying this workshop? Or find a place in advance to build our own factory?
Otherwise, it will always be leasing, which is unstable and not suitable for long-term development." This is also something Xia Zekai is considering.
Although Rongdou is a single product, it has successfully made a name for itself with its excellent product quality, good market reputation, and continuous Internet traffic.
In Taobao Mall, a brand has been completely erected for children's snacks such as Rongdou.
This also brings a steady stream of cash flow to myself.
It would be too wasteful to simply take this money out and deposit it in the bank.
As for houses, there are already three of them, two of which are waiting to be delivered and renovated. They are enough to live in. If there is demand later, it will not be too late to buy again.
Thinking of this, he picked up the landline phone on the table and dialed.
Li Mumu, Zhang San, Wang Yewei and old accountant Sun Guoqiang all received calls from Xia Zekai.
Several people came to Xia Zekai's office one after another. After they all arrived, Xia Zekai didn't hide anything and directly expressed his thoughts straight to the point.
"Everyone, if Jingtong Food Factory wants to develop next, it can't just have one main product. We have to continue to develop new products. Let's discuss it today. Do you have anything better to pay attention to?" Xia Zekai asked them.
Several people looked at me and I looked at you, and they were all a little dumbfounded.
No one expected that the boss would ask them this.
Li Mumu had already thought about this problem. When the boss asked, he said: "Boss, I'm thinking about making bread or cakes. What do you think?"
Xia Zekai shook his head directly. He couldn't say that this suggestion was not feasible, but it was inappropriate.
Zhang San said: "Boss, let's make biscuits, milk biscuits, or sandwich biscuits. I see that the sales on the market are quite hot recently."
Xia Zekai thought for a while and said, "This can be used as an alternative. How many more should we consider?"
After all, Sun Guoqiang is an old guy. He hasn't been out much, and he really doesn't have much experience in new things.
He couldn't tell a single thing.
Wang Yewei asked: "Boss, should we make food next? Have you ever considered opening up another path while making food?"
Wang Yewei's suggestion is very good, and it is also a direction that Xia Zekai is subconsciously considering.
Even if a biscuit is added in the next step, it is still in the category of food and there is not much difference.
He asked Wang Yewei: "Do you have any better ideas? Tell me."
Wang Yewei said directly: "I'm not very familiar with this area, but I can see from the boss's entrepreneurial trajectory that he mainly wants to do the children's business. In this case, we can actually narrow this scope.
"
"Children's business is actually very easy to define, such as snacks, toys, children's clothing, and auxiliary supplies!"
Wang Yewei's thinking was very clear, and Xia Zekai praised him, and what he said was indeed accurate.
"Keep talking." Xia Zekai carefully wrote down all the aspects he just said.
Wang Yewei added: "It would be easy to do this if we refine these paths."
"The melted beans we are making now, or the biscuits we are considering making in the future, can be classified as snacks."
"So, has the boss considered toys, children's clothing or other auxiliary equipment?" Wang Yewei looked at Xia Zekai.
Xia Zekai listened to Wang Yewei's suggestion and was a little lost in thought while thinking seriously.
The five people brainstormed for more than an hour, but in the end they still couldn't come up with a result.
Everyone still had their own things to do, so Li Mumu and the four of them went back first.
Xia Zekai continued to rub his chin and consider the suggestion Wang Yewei just made.
The idea of carving out a new path besides food made Xia Zekai take it to heart.
But this can't be figured out just by talking. There are many blurred fragments in Xia Zekai's mind. He didn't think about it for the time being, so he turned on the computer and logged into QQ space to think of something to write.
As soon as I entered the QQ space, there was a comment posted by an account with a yellow diamond glow.
Xia Zekai was stunned after seeing what he said.
It was sent by Pan Qin. She wrote: "I will be entering the operating room in two hours. I don't know what the outcome will be. Friends, please bless me!"
The various blessing messages below all have more than 4,000 likes in such a short period of time. At this time, it is obvious that Sister Pan has a fan base.
Xia Zekai was quite nervous. He took out his mobile phone and thought about calling Pan Qin to say some words of comfort. He also thought that she might have to go into the operating room at this point.
In the end, Xia Zekai sent her a text message: "Sister Pan, I wish everything goes well. I will treat you to dinner when you are discharged from the hospital."
It's that simple.
In the following time, Xia Zekai was not in the mood to write in his diary. He thought about going out for a walk and quieting his mind.
…
In Qicheng Central Hospital, Pan Qin was doing preparations before the operation. This was a major operation and there was no room for sloppiness.
A bright smile appeared on Pan Qin's face, looking at her husband Qu Liangping, son Qu Fanchao, and her parents who came from their hometown.
The two elders are already quite old, but Pan Qin is not short of money and doesn't treat them badly, so he doesn't look that old on his face.
The old lady kept complaining: "You damn girl, you have this disease, and you didn't even know to tell your mother in advance. You only made me worried."
"Mom, it's okay, it's just a cut. It'll be fine when I wake up." She said simply.
Qu Liangping couldn't help but turn around and wiped the tears from his eyes.
Qu Fanchao didn't know what his mother was going to do, but he could feel that the atmosphere in the ward was not cheerful. Instead of being as naughty as usual, he looked very sensible and asked Pan Qin: "Mom, when will you come again?"
Come play with me."
"Good boy, Chaochao, listen to your father, grandma, and grandpa. Mom will play with you in a few days." Pan Qin raised her hand to touch her son's head tiredly and said to him.
Qu Fanchao said ‘hmm’ and nodded: “Then I’ll wait for you.”
At this moment, Pan Qin's cell phone rang. It was a text message ringtone. She said, "Liangping, please take your phone over and take a look."
"What time of year, I still have my phone hanging up." Qu Liangping still nagged her a few words, but still handed the phone over to her.
Pan Qin opened it and smiled. She said to her husband: "It was a text message from Brother Xia. He wished me a smooth operation and said that he would treat us to dinner when I am discharged from the hospital."
Listening to what his wife said, Qu Liangping felt uncomfortable and said to her: "The doctor also said that this is not a serious illness and the operation is very simple. You will be fine soon. Then we will treat him to a meal."
