Chapter 3 Eating too much soft rice is easy to jam your teeth
Walking directly north from the community, there are several private factories at the north end of Qicheng High-tech Zone. One of them is a company called Sanmu, where Xia Zekai works. However, these factories are surrounded by scattered farmland.
The crop fields in February were all bare.
Xia Zekai looked at the familiar and unfamiliar place in front of him, and his thoughts stopped: "In five or six years, there will be no crop fields here. By then, there will be either communities or factories, and most of the people will be
I fought for that reinforced concrete matchbox."
After sighing, Xia Zekai was not a savior. He continued to drive more than 200 meters and arrived at the company.
"Miki Group" is written on the wall at the door. It looks quite bright, and people who don't know it are really frightened by it.
Xia Zekai arrived at the gate of the factory, put down the car glass and stuck his head out, pressed the horn twice more, a "beep" sound sounded, and the factory's electric retractable door opened.
"Manager Xia, make a fortune!" Old Chen, who was on duty at the door, looked up with a smile.
Xia Zekai smiled: "I'm just a shitty manager. Whoever works in sales is not a manager."
After saying that, he threw away the half-packed box of cigarettes in the car and said, "Old man Chen, just smoke it, I won't come here anymore."
"Ah! Manager Xia is resigning and has found a good job?" Old Man Chen was shocked!
Xia Zekai waved his hand: "No, my wife has found a job with an annual salary of 200,000 yuan. She has to go to work to support us and let me take care of the children at home. There is no other way. We will be comfortable at home for a few years. Lao Chen,
It depends on fate if we meet again in the future."
"Uh!" Old Chen was shocked.
"My mother, Manager Xia, are you going to be taken care of by a woman at such a young age?"
"Haha, I'm envious. I have no choice. I'm lucky. Who helped me find a capable wife!" After saying that, he smiled smugly for a while, waved to the stunned old man Chen, and drove from the right.
The road bypassed the artificial lake in front of the office building and parked the car behind the office building.
There are only a dozen cars here, and the best one is the 2007 Mercedes-Benz R350 owned by the boss of Miki Group, which he bought last year.
It was said that it cost more than 1 million, but Xia Zekai knew that his boss Li Lin was a face-conscious person.
He parked his car, locked the door, and entered through the back door of the office building.
This office building has a total of 4 floors and was built just 2 years ago. Everything looks brand new.
Xia Zekai works in the West District Chase Room on the second floor, which is the sales department office area of Aolin Chemical Additives, a subsidiary of Sanmu Group.
Pushing the door open and going in, there are two large red-lacquered desks against the wall, occupied by two women facing each other. One of them, with short hair and a dashing look, is called Sun Hongli.
Another woman with long hair shawl but a black mole on the corner of her mouth is named Wang Yun.
They are all in their thirties, much older than Xia Zekai.
"Sister Sun, Sister Wang, good morning." Xia Zekai was in a very good mood for some reason and greeted him warmly.
Then he saw three other people in the Chase Room: "Hey, Brother Yu, Brother Wang, Brother Li, good morning."
"Oh, Xiaoxia looks different this morning. What's going on? He was moisturized by his wife last night?" Wang Liang is a greasy uncle in his mid-thirties, with a round beer belly, and he speaks without any words.
scruples.
Li Jinchuan was about the same age and also chubby. He also said: "Old Wang, this is wrong. Xiaoxia is so young. What's wrong with doing something with my wife? She has to be as soft as you, an old guy."
You are so helpless."
This is also an old man who is not shy.
Sun Hongli, the logistics director at the door, couldn't stand listening anymore: "Lao Wang, Lao Li, you two should show some respect. You can make fun of Xiao Xia so early in the morning without blushing."
Yu Bo, the only one left, sighed in admiration: "Xiao Xia, do you see that our sister Sun feels sorry for you?"
He is a rather unique person. He looks fair and fair, speaks softly and gently, and has a faint scent of perfume all year round. Without looking at his ID card, you really can't tell that he is over forty.
But he just has the ability to call Sun Hongli, who is seven years younger than him, "Sister Sun" naturally.
"Yu Bo, get out of here!" Sun Hongli scolded him angrily with a straight face.
A few people were joking as usual.
Xia Zekai talked with a few of them for a while, and after reminiscing about old times, he walked to Sun Hongli's desk, pulled up a chair and sat down: "Sister Sun, I want to resign."
Wang Liang and the other three were playing on a computer over there, muttering to themselves about what they were looking at.
Suddenly they heard that Xia Zekai said that he was resigning. They were shocked. The three of them stopped working and gathered around them. They said in a hurry: "Xia Zekai, you have done a good job. Why are you suddenly resigning? Is it your brother's fault?"
We were just kidding you, and I’m telling you, it’s all a joke, don’t take it seriously.”
Wang Yun, who has a gentle personality, also nodded: "That's right, Xiaoxia, if something happened at home, tell me slowly, let's not mention the resignation for now."
"Let me tell you, your commission last month was more than 5,000. Plus the basic salary, it was nearly 7,000. You can get almost the same amount this month. Where can you find such a good job outside!" Wang Yuncong
I explained the stakes in terms of income and advised him.
Xia Zekai shook his head slightly and told his wife about going to work. After finishing speaking, he shrugged slightly: "Sister Wang, you see, my income is far less than that of my wife now. There is no way.
I can only retire and look after the children at home, letting her support our three fathers."
"Let me go, Xiaoxia, you are still a man, and you want your wife to support you?" Li Jinchuan looked disdainful.
"Xiaoxia, what's wrong with you at such a young age? You have to learn to eat soft food from your brother Yu. Let me tell you, if you eat too much soft food, your teeth will get clogged easily." Wang Liang still spoke without hesitation.
Yu Bo angrily scolded him: "You surnamed Wang, get out of here!"
"Okay, isn't this just to persuade Brother Xia!"
"Besides, it's really a secret that you live with a rich girl in Guangcheng. I don't care to hear about it."
Normally, this matter would have triggered a discussion, but not today.
Sun Hongli pondered for a while and persuaded him: "Xiao Xia, I think you should consider this matter again. You are not going to work at a young age. After all, it is not a long-term solution."
"I make a lot of money every year, but my family, like you, Brother Lin, is doing his own business outside. It doesn't matter how much money you have, but if you keep a man at home, it will be really useless. Then there may be something wrong with the family."
It’s a contradiction.”
"It's a good thing that your wife goes out to find a job. Earning more is definitely a good thing. But you also earned more than 90,000 yuan last year. The chemical raw material market this year is good. Our factory has been selling well since January. You
This year’s income should be no less than last year, so it would be a pity to just throw it away.”
"Don't you think about asking your parents to come over and look after your children? According to you, if you both work, you can earn less than 300,000 yuan a year, and you can buy a big bungalow after two years of work."
Sun Hongli followed the instructions from various aspects such as her own examples, husband and wife relationship, interests and other aspects.
This is a master. Xia Zekai has always known that she has strong business ability and is good at grasping the key points.
But nothing is perfect.
"Sister Sun, my grandfather is not in good health, and my parents are at home taking care of him. He really cannot live without people. My mother-in-law also has a brother-in-law, and they have to earn and save money to buy a house."
Xia Zekai said: "I will take care of the children at home for a few years. After a few years when they go to elementary school, I will go out to work. Then you can't let me go."
"Xiaoxia, you've really decided!" Wang Yun asked him again.
Xia Zekai nodded: "It's decided. Besides, I also want to spend more time with Yatou and Tongtong while they are still young."
Li Jinchuan pursed his lips, tapped his fingers on the table and thought for a while, and finally said: "Okay, okay, brother Xia has his own difficulties, and we won't force him, but we just want to meet each other. I'll treat you to something good today at noon."
of."
Just a moment ago, he despised Xia Zekai, but now he took the initiative to invite guests to see him off. This is a person who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside.
