Chapter 799 Xia Weicheng has retired (6100-character chapter) 300 months
"Zekai, are you still working overtime?" Xia Zekai had just answered the phone when he heard his wife Luo Xiyun ask on the phone.
Xia Zekai shook his head back and forth in a circle, and when he moved his slightly numb neck, he heard a slight "click" sound. He said, "I'm too busy. I'll go back in a while."
"I haven't cooked yet, do you want to eat something?" Luo Xiyun asked him.
Xia Zekai didn't think about what to eat, so he said habitually: "Daughter-in-law, whatever you want, you can do it as you see fit!"
"You are so annoying. You tell me to do whatever I want." Luo Xiyun scolded him. This is the most annoying thing to say.
This put Xia Zekai in a dilemma. If he could think of something to eat, he would tell Luo Xiyun directly instead of just saying 'whatever'.
After thinking for a while, he said: "How about we stop doing this at home at night and go out to eat something."
Luo Xiyun refused directly: "Forget it, I'll do something myself and go out to eat every day. How clean do you think it is?"
There was nothing to say. After hanging up the phone, Xia Zekai pinched the base of his neck with both hands and pressed hard for a while to relieve the numbness caused by bowing his head for a long time. Then he packed up his desk and arranged the items neatly.
Went downstairs.
When he walked to the second floor, he discovered that the lights were still on in the main office area in the east, and many people were busy inside. He thought that all these employees knew that they had taken the initiative to work overtime, which was really good!
When I came out of the office building, as expected, Wang Yi and Cui Xiaofeng were already waiting below.
Xia Zekai said: "Xiao Wang, Xiao Cui, let's go back to the community."
Although we walked late today, there was an advantage. We had missed the peak traffic jam perfectly. Except for a few traffic lights where we had to stop, the rest of the road was smooth.
When we got back to Ziyu Garden Community, it only took a little over half an hour, which was much faster than usual.
After asking Wang Yi and Cui Xiaofeng to go back and rest early, Xia Zekai took the elevator directly upstairs.
When he opened the door, a smell of meaty smell hit his face. Xia Zekai swallowed subconsciously and shouted: "Daughter-in-law, make something delicious!"
"I made a pot of stew!" Luo Xiyun said.
She said: "I looked at the steaks, pork chops and a piece of venison that had been in the freezer for a while. If I didn't eat them anymore, they would become useless, so I just put them all in the pot to stew."
"No wonder, it smells pretty good!" Xia Zekai said.
"This tastes much better than seafood chowder."
"Dad, you didn't come to pick me up today, and mom didn't come to pick me up either. My sister and I came back with our second mother." As Tongtong spoke, tears of grievance flowed out.
Xia Zekai was stunned when he heard what his daughter said.
He was so busy that he forgot the time, and his wife also forgot the time when she was in love.
No wonder my tone was so aggressive when I called him just now, and no wonder I was cooking so late today.
At this time, Xia Zekai felt a little lucky that he and his second brother lived upstairs. Usually when the other brother had something to do, there would still be someone to help each other pick up and drop off the children.
"Daughter-in-law, you are too busy." Xia Zekai asked her.
Luo Xiyun said 'hmm' and said: "Our company has scheduled a move in these two days, and I was so busy that I forgot to call you to ask..."
After he finished speaking, the girl asked him angrily: "How come you forgot about it!"
This is a bit unreasonable!
Xia Zekai originally wanted to yell with her, but seeing that Tongtong was so wronged, he felt guilty and self-blame took over, and he didn't want to argue.
"Tongtong, this is Dad's fault. Dad apologizes to you and your sister. I promise that I will never be late again." Xia Zekai also raised his fingers and swore to the sky.
Tongtong believed it at that time, with a satisfied smile on her chubby little face: "Well, Dad, I forgive you, but... you have to buy toys for me and my sister."
"No problem, tell dad what toys you want and I will buy them for you." Xia Zekai confirmed by patting his chest.
Buying toys was not a big deal, but his daughter wanted a plane and he would find a way to buy it for her.
He asked: "Tongtong, what toys do you and your sister want?"
"I...I don't know!" Tongtong thought for a while, but still couldn't figure it out.
She was not stupid, so she turned to her sister and asked her: "Sister, dad said he would buy us toys, what toys do you want?"
The girl hummed "Hmm", scratched her scalp with her little hands, winked and thought for a while, but couldn't think of anything.
Seeing this, Xia Zekai simply said: "Don't even think about it. Dad is going to the capital next month. I will take you there together. You can see if there are any toys you want to buy. Dad will buy them for you."
"Okay!" Yatou and Tongtong were both overjoyed.
The two of them held Xia Zekai's hand, raised their toes, stretched their heads upward and said, "Dad, I'll give you a kiss as a reward!"
When Xia Zekai heard this, he quickly squatted down and lowered his head.
"Bah"
"Bah!"
The two sisters kissed Xia Zekai on the face, then giggled, and Xia Zekai also laughed happily.
After waiting for another half an hour, Luo Xiyun finished the pot of stew. The smell became even more fragrant. Xia Zekai felt really hungry now, and he couldn't wait any longer.
Yatou and Tongtong were also hungry. They both shouted, "Dad, I'm so hungry!"
"You know you're hungry, but if you don't wash your hands quickly, you want to eat all the germs in your stomach." Xia Zekai said to the two of them.
Luo Xiyun also said with a straight face: "Look at your little black paws, wash them quickly, put some hand sanitizer and rub them well."
"Oh!" The two sisters hurriedly ran to wash their hands.
Luo Xiyun asked Xia Zekai, "Zekai, have the decorations in the villa been repaired?"
She was very busy these days, so she didn't go over to visit.
Xia Zekai nodded: "I took a look in the morning. The two sets of small-area ones have been finished and are being ventilated and dried. The set of 1,500 square meters has to wait, but there are only a few details left to deal with. Next time
I will definitely be able to finish my life by the beginning of the month."
"By the way, you should contact Boss Ren in the next few days and ask her how the furniture is being made. If it is done, please send it over sometime."
Luo Xiyun nodded in agreement, and she wondered: "How come the decoration is so far ahead of schedule?"
Xia Zekai was also puzzled as to which link had gone wrong as it was at least half a month ahead of schedule.
He asked after thinking about this. Luo Xiyun was suddenly stunned and said, "Zekai, I may know the reason."
"You know?" Xia Zekai was even more puzzled. Is it true or false?
Luo Xiyun told him something.
It turned out that when Luo Xiyun was renovating the office area of Kaiyun Investment, when Luo Xiyun went over to see the progress of the decoration, she told Zhang Guolong that if the decoration could be completed in advance with guaranteed quality, she would give them extra red envelopes.
"I also told Mr. Zhang at the time that if the villas finished their work ahead of schedule, they would also be given red envelopes. Could this be the reason?" Luo Xiyun said.
Xia Zekai understood everything. He said, "When you said that, it made sense to me. That's probably what happened."
Then he laughed: "Sure enough, money is the best motivation."
Luo Xiyun rolled her eyes at him and said: "I have promised, and they have indeed completed the work ahead of schedule. Don't forget to cash in the red envelope when the time comes."
"OK!" Xia Zekai took the chopsticks and took out a few pieces of good meat from Yatou and Tongtong's small bowls to dry.
Then he went to the kitchen to pour some vinegar and sesame oil, and ate it with the meat. He liked this bite.
"Dad, it's so sour." The girl smelled the vinegar and frowned.
Strangely enough, Xia Zekai could drink vinegar as water and nibble on ginger, but Yatou and Tongtong both missed this talent perfectly.
Xia Zekai also spared no effort to promote his hobby. He pushed the small bowl in front of the two girls and said, "Try some of it, it's really delicious."
"Eh..." Tongtong said in a long voice, with a look of disgust on his face. People who didn't know better thought it was such an unpalatable thing.
Luo Xiyun said: "Hurry up and eat it by yourself."
"Dad, you are so disgusting. You actually ate something so disgusting, vomiting..." Tongtong stretched his little head forward and made a show of vomiting.
Xia Zekai raised his hand and was about to hit her little head, but the child reacted quickly and retracted immediately.
She stuck out her tongue proudly and shouted: "Dad, you can't hit me."
Luo Xiyun almost covered her face. She wondered, Tongtong, why are you deliberately looking for trouble?
After dinner, Xia Zekai went to clear away the dishes and chopsticks. Luo Xiyun, the girl, and Tongtong were doing questions with books. When they saw him coming out, Luo Xiyun asked him: "Have you really planted vegetables in the yard?"
Xia Zekai nodded: "We have to plant vegetables. I have cultivated a 200-square-meter small vegetable garden behind the villa and planted many kinds of vegetables."
Luo Xiyun nodded and said: "That's good. At least you can eat with confidence, but a 200-square-meter small vegetable garden is not enough."
Xia Zekai was speechless and said, "You really treat that little vegetable garden as a vegetable basket project."
However, he talked about the idea of fruit trees, and also said that he would take a look at it when he had time in two days, buy a few fruit trees, and bring them back.
"Dad, what is a fruit tree?" the girl asked curiously.
Xia Zekai gestured to her and said, "It's a tree that can grow fruit. We can grow apples, pears, figs, peaches, jujube trees, and many, many more."
Tongtong's eyes immediately lit up, and she said excitedly: "Dad, then we can secretly get the jujube tree from grandma's house."
She stretched out her hand and gestured: "When the time comes, you can eat a lot of dates. Grandma's dates are so sweet. I like them very much."
When Xia Zekai heard what she said, he couldn't help laughing on the spot.
Luo Xiyun also said a little funny: "Tongtong, I think your grandma loves you as a child in vain. Why are you always thinking about stealing your grandma's jujube tree?"
Tongtong was unhappy, and she said confidently: "Huh, I didn't steal it, I asked dad to take it."
Xia Zekai gave his daughter a like, I want it!
…
Early the next morning, when Xia Zekai sent them to kindergarten, Teacher Kaixin stopped him at the door of the kindergarten: "Mr. Xia, are you free this Saturday?"
"Are we going to rehearse?" Xia Zekai asked.
Seeing Teacher Kaixin nodding, he said, "Okay, I'll come over then. What time will it be?"
Teacher Kaixin said: "The time period is from nine to eleven in the morning."
"Teacher Kaixin, what song are you going to sing? It has to be rehearsed. Please tell me." Xia Zekai asked.
Teacher Kaixin looked a little apologetic, and she said: "We have just discussed it in the kindergarten. We will sing "Let's Swing the Oars". Mr. Xia, if you are free, you can practice it at home first and wait for the next week.
When the sixth day comes, we will go straight to the chorus rehearsal."
"Okay, no problem." Xia Zekai agreed happily.
On the way to the company, Xia Zekai called his wife and asked her to take some time to familiarize herself with the song "Let's Swing the Oars".
Luo Xiyun said confidently: "I learned this song when I was in school. Don't worry, I will be fine."
She said so, and Xia Zekai didn't say anything else. He closed his eyes and squinted for a while. When he opened them again, he had already arrived at the company.
…
On the other side, Luo Xiyun led the employees of Kaiyun Investment and they were also busy. They had originally planned to move in the next two days.
When she came here early this morning, she found that everyone had packed up their things. In this case, she might as well move the things there in advance.
The moving car was already downstairs, and eight people from the moving company came out, going up and down, quickly moving all kinds of desks, chairs, and electronic products.
"Xiao Sun, please watch more and tell everyone to slow down. Safety first."
"Xiao Wang, Xiao Jia, you two pack up the rest of the stationery and put it into boxes. When others come up later, go straight down to carry the boxes."
"Liang Tongshun, you guys went over to move the computers, and walk slowly when you go downstairs."
"..."
Downstairs, three trucks with the words 'Move with confidence' written on them were parked at the door, and eight young men in camouflage T-shirts were carrying things up and down.
Most of them are office supplies. These things are already assembled and are not easy to disassemble. They are also difficult to use when moving, so two people have to carry them.
It still takes up space when placed in the car, but Luo Xiyun couldn't bear the extra money given by Luo Xiyun, so it was easy to negotiate.
They had been busy for two hours. After loading most of the things into the car, Sun Yuping followed the car first.
Liang Tongshun, Song Jinpeng and several other men also drove over behind to see if they could help.
Guan Yuqing and Li Jing saw the moving company's car packed with office supplies and walked away, so they approached Luo Xiyun.
"Mr. Luo, shall we go there too?" Li Jing asked.
Luo Xiyun smiled and said: "Look, you are so anxious that you can't wait any longer?"
"Mr. Luo, to be honest, I can't wait any longer. I just want to see what our new company looks like." Li Jing said eagerly.
Luo Xiyun said: "It's not like you haven't seen it before, and there haven't been any big changes."
"Mr. Luo, that's different. It hadn't been renovated before, and the new company hadn't been cleaned up. Now..."
"Then hurry up and leave. Hurry up." Luo Xiyun went out first. She couldn't wait to go to the new office location.
As soon as she left, Li Jing, Guan Yuqing, and two administrative clerks also followed downstairs.
There are still two employees staying here waiting for the moving company to come again and take the remaining things.
Li Jing and Guan Yuqing were not polite and rushed to sit on Luo Xiyun's car. However, this car could only accommodate three people at most. Wang Fang and Jia Cui, the two administrative clerks, were a little disappointed, but they didn't show it. They took other seats in the company.
The person's car has left.
Over at the small building with two floors and a single floor of more than 200 square meters that Luo Xiyun bought, the "Reassured Moving" truck has arrived, and several people are unloading things. Liang Tongshun and the other men are also helping.
At that time, everyone was very motivated and felt that their future work was finally solid and headed forward.
The place Luo Xiyun rented for a short time before was very good in terms of location and decoration, but after all, it was not the company's own place, and there was always a feeling of "drifting".
In total, it's not a big place, but it's enough for them to use, even if they recruit another ten or twenty people.
After Luo Xiyun found a place to park the car, she walked over with Li Jing and Guan Yuqing.
Seeing that there was already a lot of work going on here, she was not idle and went to help.
After all this busy work, Luo Xiyun began to sweat again. Luo Xiyun quickly asked someone to turn on the central air conditioner first, which made him feel much more comfortable.
Finally finished her work, Luo Xiyun found a chair and sat down. She said to the others: "You guys also have a rest, and we will bring the rest of the things over later. After our people are all here, I will invite everyone to go."
Find a good restaurant outside and have lunch."
"Mr. Luo, it's true, then I have to hurry up and finish it before taking a rest," Sun Yuping said.
Luo Xiyun waved his hand: "Don't be in a hurry to work, you should take a rest first."
After all the work was done, it was past one o'clock in the afternoon. While Luo Xiyun and the others were waiting for the second moving company's car to arrive, they first laid out all the office supplies and assembled all the computers. Several people had already
Started busy cleaning.
Sun Yuping couldn't help shouting: "Mr. Luo, I don't know why, but I think it's more pleasing to the eye in our company's own place."
"Why don't I find it pleasing to the eye? This place is too small." Luo Xiyun said.
She said: "When we make money from our investment, the first thing I will do is to find a larger office area, at least one of 1,000 square meters."
A group of people feel happy just thinking about it.
The company is strong, and they feel confident when they go out and tell their friends, classmates, and relatives about the place where they work.
I just don’t know when the company will be able to move to a larger office area.
Luo Xiyun didn't know what they were thinking. She had already started planning the company's first business.
On the 24th, the day she just came back from abroad, while having dinner with her second brother in the evening, her husband casually said something about investing in "Yixing" and "Today's Toutiao". This is a capital venture investment. Luo Xiyun thought of Wang Qiong's investment.
She was fascinated by Yixing's high-spirited appearance during the financing round, and felt that it was her role model. Now, she is steadily moving in that direction.
The money on hand is only 100 million, which is nothing compared to investments that can easily cost tens of millions or hundreds of millions.
Today’s ‘Kayun Investment’ is still a young seedling in the investment world.
But precisely because of this, it has infinite plasticity. As long as the development direction is correct, the future can be expected.
…
Xiazhuang, after Xia Weicheng said something to his wife Zhou Yinghong, he drove away again.
The webmaster was not here yesterday and the formalities were not completed. I will continue to go through the retirement formalities today.
After all, he has worked in the electric power department for more than 30 years, and he can be regarded as leaving it here for the rest of his life.
Although they didn't earn much money and the salary they got was not high, they bought pension insurance and provident fund here. If they go over and sign the contract today, starting from next month, they can get it every month without having to work.
Pension.
I heard them say that the pension is higher than the salary.
Tsk tsk!
Obviously, it's not as good as the previous ones, but it's more than enough.
To be honest, Xia Weicheng couldn't wait any longer.
When he arrived at the rural power supply company, Xia Weicheng parked his car in the company compound and went directly to the office of the station manager Tang Fangyou.
They have been together for at least twenty years. Xia Weicheng has retired this time, and it will be his turn in a few years.
"Lao Xia, why don't you find a place to have a drink?" Tang Fangyou asked him.
Xia Weicheng said with a smile: "Drinking won't delay us, but we need to sign the signature first and hand over all the maintenance tools. Then we can talk about drinking."
"You've finally come to the end. I heard that you are going to Qicheng. Is it true?" Tang Fangyou asked him.
Xia Weicheng nodded: "If it's early, we'll be there at the end of next month. My son has already prepared a place to live. I'm thinking that since I'm retired anyway, and there's nothing to do in my hometown, it would be nice to go over and help take care of my granddaughter.
"
He has already begun to long for the life after arriving in Qicheng.
Following his wife's wishes, his son also prepared a separate villa for them to live in. To be honest, he, an ordinary power grid worker, is really satisfied with this job.
Tang Fangyou was very envious of him, but still completed the retirement procedures with Xia Weicheng according to the regulations.
When signing the final letter, Xia Weicheng suddenly couldn't put down his pen.
The thumb and index finger of his right hand pinched the pen in his hand hard, and the knuckles of his fingers began to turn white due to the excessive force.
"Lao Xia, hurry up and sign. Retirement is a good thing. What do you have to hesitate about?" Tang Fangyou urged him.
He said: "Don't you want to treat me? Don't worry. I'm here to practice it for you at noon today and I won't let you spend a penny."
"Old Tang, tell me, I have been working here all my life, thirty years. After today, do I have nothing to do with this place?" Xia Weicheng began to murmur.
He looked like a sentimental little old man. The vitality on his face had weakened a lot, as if he had no support.
Tang Fangyou felt a little sad when he heard what he said.
But he still said: "If you withdraw today, I, Lao Zhao, and Lao Fu will all withdraw tomorrow."
"We have reached our age, and next is the age of young people. What do you want to do if you still dominate the place?" Tang Fangyou said to him.
Upon hearing this, Xia Weicheng was so angry that he signed his name on the paper several times.
Tang Fangyou read it over and said, "Lao Xia, you are so good at signing. You haven't practiced it well even when you retire. I'm really blushing for you."
"When you get to Qicheng, don't teach your granddaughter how to write. It will be a waste of time for other people's children." Tang Fangyou dared to say anything.
Xia Weicheng thought, if I were a few years younger, I would have to give you a hard time and let you mock me again.
