Chapter 764 Tongtong's Little Secret (6100-character chapter) 1300
"Old Sun, who are you talking about? What are you talking about?" Shi Rui was looking for something and didn't hear clearly what Sun Xu said.
Sun Xu said: "Nothing, I'm going to take a dip for a while."
"Okay, you go over first. I'll get something from the bedroom and I'll be there in a moment." Litmus said.
Litmus adjusted the temperature of the water in the bathtub to just right. The bathtub itself was still at a constant temperature. There were many granular and rounded small protrusions with holes on the bottom. When you sit in it, these small rounded protrusions squeeze against the skin and adhere to the skin.
It also has the effect of massaging acupoints and eliminating fatigue.
The small holes on the small protrusions also keep blowing bubbles upwards. The bubbles sprayed up are very gentle and make people feel more comfortable when they wrap around the body.
Litui entered the bathroom with two bath towels. She gently rubbed Sun Xu's back with her hands. The water vapor gradually began to evaporate, and the bathroom became a little warmer.
Sun Xu leaned against the wall of the bathtub, squinting his eyes, his muscles relaxed, and he looked like he was enjoying himself.
Litmus bit her lip with her teeth, as if after a fierce mental struggle, she whispered: "Old Sun, I have taken a fancy to a house. It is a 200-square-meter four-bedroom apartment over there at Golden International.
, the price is not expensive, only 4,300 per square meter…”
Before she finished speaking, Sun Xu suddenly opened his eyes, turned his head and looked directly at Li Rui, and said, "Isn't it nice for you to live here?"
"But this house is for rent. I want to buy a house of my own." Shi Rui turned her head and her eyes fell on other places, not daring to look directly at him.
Sun Xu stared at her for a while, then turned his head again and closed his eyes again: "Xiao Rui, the company has been spending too much recently, and I have invested my money in it. When I calm down, I will
Let’s talk about it after we take out the money we invested this time.”
There was a hint of sadness in Litmus's eyes, and she fell silent: "..."
She worked with Sun Xu as a secretary all year round and knew very well that for Sun Xu, buying a house of 200 square meters for less than 1 million was as easy as picking something out of a bag, but he didn't agree.
Look at the reason. The company's expenses are too big. No matter how big it is, can it still afford her a house?
She didn't believe it at all, which meant that Sun Xu might not have planned to buy her a house from the beginning.
This made her feel very frustrated, and she felt that all her youth spent with him had been wasted.
There was a silent silence next, with the occasional sound of stirring water, and neither of them spoke.
This night was no different than usual, but for some people, their thoughts had quietly changed.
…
Early the next morning, Xia Zekai didn't go to exercise anymore. He took Tongtong, who also got up early, to have breakfast. He also bought one for his wife and his boss, and then he came back and started packing.
"Dad, you are so lazy, I don't like you anymore." Kirigiri Madoka's face was full of unhappiness.
She thought her father took her down to run and practice kung fu, but who knew that after he came down from upstairs, he took her directly to the fast food restaurant opposite the community for breakfast.
On the way back, Tongtong still pouted and refused to go home.
Xia Zekai had a headache. Other children at this age like to sleep in the most. Why did their family have such a weird child?
If we were to be like this in ancient times, with such diligence and extraordinary talent, would we be able to become a master in the end?
"Tongtong, you were born in the wrong era, you know," Xia Zekai said.
Tongtong was stunned for a moment, scratching her head and ears: "Dad, what are you talking about? I don't understand."
"It's okay. Come home quickly. We will go to your grandma's house after packing up. Do you want to go?" Xia Zekai asked her.
"I want to!" Tongtong happily agreed, but it wasn't over yet. She said, "When I see grandma, I'll tell grandma, Dad, you are too lazy now."
"..." Xia Zekai was so angry that his stomach ached. How could this girl catch on to something? It's not over yet.
This kid looks very careless, he doesn't know how much he weighs, and he will suffer a loss sooner or later.
Xia Zekai paid attention and thought that he should teach her well.
Perhaps because she had the motivation to go back to her parents' house today, Luo Xiyun also got up early. When Xia Zekai brought Tongtong into the house, she had already started braiding her boss's hair.
Seeing Xia Zekai and his second child coming back, Luo Xiyun said: "Zekai, everything has been packed away."
"Just wait until you two get up and have dinner." Xia Zekai specially emphasized.
Luo Xiyun wanted to bite him.
After she and the girl finished eating, Xia Zekai had already called Wang Yi and Cui Xiaofeng to put the things they wanted to take back into the Alpha.
"You should call our mother. Don't wait until there is no one at home." Xia Zekai said.
Luo Xiyun was too lazy to talk to him.
The white Alfa left the Ziyu Garden Community and traveled smoothly. After two hours of high-speed driving, the car got off at the intersection of Yicheng Expressway.
It only took ten minutes to get from here to home.
When the car turned south from the avenue into a small alley, the girl suddenly broke away from her mother's arms and stood up. She excitedly pointed at a rickety-looking figure not far in front of her and said, "Grandma, mother
Look, that’s grandma.”
As soon as she finished shouting, Tongtong also shouted: "Grandma, grandma, I see you are here."
Xia Zekai also said to the two of them: "Girl, Tongtong, you two sit down, or I will throw you two down."
The girl turned back and stuck out her little tongue at her father, pulled her eyelids and mouth with her hands, made a face, and shouted: "Huh, grandma will protect me, I'm not afraid of you."
This girl has found a new supporter, and she started to swell unconsciously.
When the car stopped, mother-in-law Liu Chunhua had already come to greet her: "Girl, Tongtong, you two come down quickly."
The electric door slid open, and Yatou and Tongtong broke free from their parents' hands and rushed towards their grandma Liu Chunhua.
It was difficult for the old lady to hold one person, let alone two people. In addition, Tongtong rushed forward fiercely and had great inertia. Liu Chunhua almost lost her hold and let Tongtong rush down.
This frightened the old lady all of a sudden. She hugged the girl hard with one hand to avoid any further accidents.
The other hand grasped Tongtong's clothes tightly, and Xia Zekai reached out and grabbed the clothes behind Tongtong, so that she didn't fall into pieces.
But just like this, Tongtong was startled. Her eyes flickered, and she looked a little out of breath. It took a while before she came back to her senses.
"Dad!" Tongtong already had tears in his eyes, as if they were about to fall at any time.
Luo Xiyun was also frightened, and she even muttered: "Tongtong, will you still be naughty in the future?"
Wang Yi and Cui Xiaofeng, who were in the driver's seat and passenger seat, were also shocked. They did not expect such an accident to happen.
Fortunately, it was just a false alarm, otherwise neither of them would be able to forgive themselves no matter what they said today.
The old lady Liu Chunhua is the most scared. If her granddaughter falls into trouble, she doesn't know how to explain it to her daughter and son-in-law.
"You kid, you scared grandma just now. Don't be so naughty in the future, you know." Liu Chunhua's eyes were red.
Xia Zekai had a headache seeing this.
Luo Xiyun quickly said: "Mom, please stop messing around."
"Try saying something again."
Liu Chunhua glared at her daughter, and then asked: "What are you doing back today?"
Her daughter called her last night, but she didn't explain clearly on the phone.
"Isn't this just a three-day holiday to catch up with the Qingming Festival and come back to see you? No," Luo Xiyun said.
"If you don't let us stay, we will leave."
Liu Chunhua wished that her daughter would always be by her side, but she also knew that was unrealistic.
When she heard her daughter say this, she nodded hurriedly: "Okay, you can live at home for a year. Come quickly to the house, I've stewed a pot of ribs."
Wang Yi and Cui Xiaofeng helped Xia Zekai carry down the nutritional supplements, wine, and fruits he had brought.
When Liu Chunhua saw it, she nabbed them again: "What are you doing with so much stuff? Your dad and I can't eat much. You leave two boxes of fruit and take the rest back to me when you leave."
"Mom, my dad, are you still at work today?" Luo Xiyun entered the house and saw no one.
After hearing this, Liu Chunhua said: "He is working shifts with others and will have the day off tomorrow."
"Mom, the wedding in Xincheng is only a few days away. How are you preparing for it?" Luo Xiyun leaned over and asked.
Liu Chunhua shouted: "What else is there to prepare? We can get married over there in Qicheng, and just invite our neighbors here."
"Your brother called me and said that they had already booked a hotel, a master of ceremonies, and a fleet of vehicles. They had taken care of everything themselves, and I didn't have to do anything else," Liu Chunhua said.
.
Hearing what his mother-in-law said, Xia Zekai was quite satisfied with his brother-in-law's performance. He took care of everything by himself, which was not easy.
However, he has been very busy recently, so he didn't bother to ask his brother-in-law, and he felt a little apologetic.
As soon as they entered the room and sat down, mother-in-law Liu Chunhua said: "I'm going to bring over the stewed ribs. I also put some soybean sprouts in it. The stew is really rotten."
As soon as Yatou and Tongtong heard that there was meat to eat, they kept pestering grandma to eat meat.
Xia Zekai didn't feel hungry at all. He said, "You guys eat first. I just took this opportunity to go around the factory."
Knowing that her son-in-law was very busy, Liu Chunhua still said: "Zekai, don't worry about it for a while. You can eat a bowl of pork ribs before you leave."
"Mom, I'm not hungry, so I won't eat for now. I'll come back with my dad for dinner in the evening." Xia Zekai said and went out.
Tongtong wanted to go with him, but Xia Zekai was really busy today, and he might not be able to take care of her then.
He finally said to the second child: "Tongtong, please be obedient at home and play with grandma for a while. You will go back to Qicheng tomorrow and dad will buy you new toys."
In this way, Tongtong was coaxed.
After Xia Zekai came out of the house, he said to Wang Yi and Cui Xiaofeng: "Xiao Cui, please stay and take care of me."
"Xiao Wang, let's go around the company."
Wang Yi and Cui Xiaofeng immediately followed Xia Zekai's instructions.
It is not very far from here to the Yicheng Third Branch of Jingtong Development Co., Ltd., a total of more than 20 kilometers.
After leaving home, we took the main road and arrived at the factory in less than forty minutes.
Before Xia Zekai got out of the car, he saw his father-in-law Luo Qing coming out of the security room.
"Xiao Wang, you stop the car first and I'll get out." Xia Zekai said to Wang Yi.
After Wang Yi parked the car, he opened the sliding door and Xia Zekai got out of the car.
Luo Qing didn't expect that his son-in-law would get out of the car he just stopped: "Zekai, why are you here?"
"Dad, I just came from home, why don't you have a day off today?" Xia Zekai asked him.
Luo Qing nodded and said: "A few of us work shifts, and it happens to be my turn to work today."
"Dad, how are you doing here? Are you doing well?" Xia Zekai asked him.
Luo Qing was particularly satisfied.
He said: "What's wrong with this? I don't have to work here. The most I can do is go out and walk around a few times, which is just for exercise."
"It's not like when I was on the construction site before, where I really worked hard and put in a lot of effort."
"The salary given to me here is not low and stable. It is much better than when I worked on the construction site." Luo Qing was particularly satisfied.
When he was on the construction site, he earned 80 to 100 yuan a day, but working here, he earned 2,500 yuan a month.
When he used to work on construction sites, he often moved bricks, made sand, mixed cement, etc. These tasks were all heavy physical labor, requiring frequent bending and no protection.
As time passed, his waist and knees suffered varying degrees of damage.
I also sucked in a lot of dust into my lungs, which made me feel suffocated after working for a long time.
However, after arriving here, Luo Qing clearly felt that his body was slowly recovering. His waist and knees that had been aching a lot no longer hurt, and his breathing was normal.
The salary hasn't dropped much yet, so he is quite satisfied.
Xia Zekai could tell from his father-in-law's expression that this was true, and he was very happy: "Dad, just do it as you wish."
As he spoke, he pointed to the ancient palace-style two-story office building not far away and said: "Dad, I'm going to go over there first and talk to Xiao Zhang about something. When I leave in the afternoon, I'll take you with me.
go back."
"I can just go back tomorrow." Luo Qing emphasized again.
But Xia Zekai didn't care about that, he walked to the office building.
When I arrived at Li Mumu's old office, I saw that the door was open and there was no one inside.
Xia Zekai was still confused, where could Zhang Xu go at this point?
Someone in the office building recognized him and saw the big boss coming, and everyone became more honest.
Some people came over to say hello to him. Xia Zekai asked one of them: "Where is your manager Zhang?"
At this moment, Zhang Xu has not yet been officially promoted, and is still holding on to his original position as manager, working as the director of production and operations.
It is pure selling of dog meat.
"Boss, Manager Zhang has gone to the workshop. If you have something urgent, I will call him right away." The employee in question said quickly.
Xia Zekai waved his hand and said, "No, you go ahead and do your work. I'll give him a call."
Zhang Xu was indeed inspecting the production workshop at the back at this time. This was a habit he formed after he officially completed the handover with Li Mumu.
He knows better than anyone that compared to Li Mumu, he has no advantage at all in managing this factory.
Li Mumu has been managing the original Qinghe Food Factory since it first acquired it, and he established prestige from the beginning.
But Zhang Xu didn’t.
Although he initially assisted Li Mumu in controlling the factory, the employees only recognized one person as the leader and not the others.
He now has to make the employees in the factory realize that he is the new leader.
How can we make employees realize it as quickly as possible?
After Zhang Xu thought about it, he first had to let his employees get to know him, otherwise they wouldn't even know who he was and it would be a waste of management.
After understanding this truth, Zhang Xu would spend one to two hours every day to walk around the factory and inspect everything.
Needless to say, this is really effective, especially after Zhang Xu caught two employees reading novels on their mobile phones during work and gave him a heavy fine, others started to 'respect' him.
It was also from that time that Zhang Xu had a deeper understanding of the four words "kindness does not control soldiers".
‘Kill decisively’ is the rule he set for himself.
He knew in his heart that if he wanted to really gain a foothold here as a person who had intervened halfway, simply borrowing the skin of being a "person sent from the head office" or a "person from the boss" would be of no use.
There are so many people who are cheating on others, so he must establish his prestige in a short time.
This is difficult, but Zhang Xu is now confident that he can do it.
When he moved to the fourth workshop today, Zhang Xu's cell phone rang in his trouser pocket. When he took it out, he saw that it was Xia Zekai calling him.
He quickly left the workshop, found a quiet place and answered the phone.
"boss."
"Xiao Zhang, where are you? I'm here in your office." Xia Zekai said.
Suddenly hearing Xia Zekai say that he was in his office, Zhang Xu was a little confused and said quickly: "Boss, I'm here in workshop No. 4, I'll go back right away."
"Well, I'll wait for you."
A few minutes later, Zhang Xu ran back to the office out of breath and saw Xia Zekai sitting on the small single sofa.
"Boss, why are you here?" Zhang Xu was surprised.
Xia Zekai smiled and said, "I'm not worried that you won't be able to eat well here alone. I came here to take a look today."
"How's it going? Are you still used to staying here?"
Hearing Xia Zekai's concern, Zhang Xu felt particularly motivated and quickly said: "Boss, I'm fine. Don't worry, everything is under control."
When Xia Zekai heard this, he laughed on the spot.
"Tell me, how did you control it?" Xia Zekai asked him.
Without thinking, Zhang Xu stretched out two fingers and said: "First, I take time to go around the company every day to let everyone in the company know me."
"Second, for employees who encounter violations, they will be punished on the same day and the entire factory will be notified of criticism."
"Your idea is really good." Xia Zekai was very satisfied with his move.
"But you must also remember to pay equal attention to kindness and power."
Hearing the boss's praise, Zhang Xu smiled and followed Xia Zekai's habit of making tea first.
"Boss, are you here on a special trip? Do you have time to have some food together in the evening?" Zhang Xu asked.
Xia Zekai waved his hand: "Forget it tonight, let's have some lunch together later. I have to go to your sister-in-law's house in the evening."
Hearing what he said, Zhang Xu didn't force it anymore, it was business.
"Uncle Luo, please go back too." Zhang Xu asked.
He was quite considerate. Xia Zekai nodded, and Zhang Xu said, "I'll ask them to arrange for someone to cover the shift later."
"Yeah!" Xia Zekai is not pedantic. Besides, this is his factory, and there is a certain level of distinction between public and private matters.
Afterwards, the two of them asked and answered questions and talked about Zhang Xu's management experience in the factory here.
During this chat, Xia Zekai discovered that Zhang Xu's management style was completely beyond his expectation.
He himself also realized that asking Zhang Xu to take over Li Mumu's class was indeed the right arrangement.
…
Liu Chunhua heated up the pork ribs she had cooked in the morning and served a bowl to each of her daughter and two granddaughters.
"Xiyun, please hurry up and eat it while it's hot, I'll feed them both." Liu Chunhua said.
When Luo Xiyun heard what his mother said, he hurriedly said: "Mom, please stop feeding them. It took a lot of effort for them to develop the habit of eating by themselves. If you feed them, all your previous efforts will be wasted."
"It's okay. I'll just feed you. What else can you do?" Liu Chunhua was dissatisfied with her daughter's statement and wanted to fight for it.
But both Yatou and Tongtong consciously held the bowls in front of them. Yatou said: "Grandma, mother said, you can eat by yourself and don't let others feed you."
Tongtong also nodded: "Grandma, I have already eaten by myself. I am a big child."
Hearing what her two granddaughters said, Liu Chunhua didn't want to do anything anymore, so she simply didn't care.
While her daughter was eating, she asked, "Why are you back today?"
"Isn't this just in time for the Qingming Festival holiday? Besides, Xincheng is getting married in two weeks. I'm thinking of coming back to see how you are preparing."
At this point, she asked: "Mom, do you still have enough money there?"
"That's enough. I didn't spend any money on your brother's engagement."
Liu Chunhua couldn't explain how she felt. She said: "I heard from Xincheng that the money for the two of them to book the hotel was paid for by Xiaojing's father. Tell me why this child is like this."
"Oh, Mom, you are so lucky. You have found a good son-in-law and a good daughter-in-law. You will be happy in the future." Luo Xiyun said.
Liu Chunhua agreed with this statement. She nodded repeatedly and said, "That's true."
"Grandma, dad is too lazy now. He won't run today and won't let me run. You can beat him." Tongtong chewed a piece of pork ribs in his mouth and did not forget to complain.
When Liu Chunhua heard this, she was very happy: "You kid, why are you so naughty? I think your father will have to beat you up."
Tongtong was enjoying her meal when she heard her grandma say this. She was very dissatisfied: "Grandma, you have changed. You don't like me anymore, and I don't like you anymore."
Luo Xiyun raised his hand and gave her a slap, but Tongtong was a real person, and it didn't hurt her at all after being beaten, so she could still eat whatever she wanted.
She also said: "Mom, you beat me again, I will remember it."
"Tongtong will take revenge in the future." Liu Chunhua couldn't help laughing anymore.
The girl said at the right time: "Grandma, let me tell you a little secret."
Even Luo Xiyun was attracted, and he heard the girl say: "I saw that Tongtong had a small book, and the drawings on it were all fighting villains. She hid it very well, but I still saw it."
At this moment, the girl was so proud. Tongtong had no secrets in front of her.
