Before leaving, Second Aunt Gao Qin kept talking to her mother Xu Lan, mainly asking questions about children's education. At the end, she also said that relatives should visit each other more often and have frequent contact in the future, so that their children can learn more from Cheng Ran.
After seeing Li Yunhan off, Gao Shijin glanced at Cheng Ran and said to Xu Lan, "Sister-in-law, you bought out your job and you don't have a job in Rongcheng, right? How about this? You can come to my shop. Food is provided. I'll give you 500 per month. Go back and discuss it with Feiyang."
Although it was a discussion, there was an unquestionable meaning in the words.
Gao Qin and Gao Shichong pricked up their ears and looked towards Gao Shijin. Gao Shijin had complained to them last time that hiring workers was getting more and more expensive, and even if they were offered 700 yuan, they would still have to negotiate various conditions.
Xu Lan said, "Let's talk about it later."
Gao Shijin was a little surprised that Xu Lan seemed to be in a bad mood and not happy. She probably felt that the salary was a bit low. After all, they came from Shanhai. The salary for this recruitment in Rongcheng might be the lowest level, but it was definitely in the middle level in Shanhai. If Xu Lan thought it was too low, she might think that he should give her a little more because of their relationship. For some reason, Gao Shijin felt inexplicably annoyed. His eyebrows on his smooth forehead slightly frowned, and he said, "Then tell me when you have thought it over."
Cheng Feiyang came to Rongcheng for work. The rent, living expenses, and living standards in Rongcheng are all higher than those in Shanhai. Can Cheng Feiyang handle it alone? Gao Shijin thought that after a while, Cheng Feiyang would let Xu Lan come to find his cousin. When he arrived in Rongcheng, he still had to listen to his arrangements.
During this interval, Gao Shaoning asked Cheng Ran curiously, "What did you talk about with Sister Hanhan just now?"
Cheng Ran glanced at this cousin and said, "Oh... She said she would protect me when the time comes."
Gao Shaoning opened his mouth in surprise, then smiled and asked, "How did you get into No. 10 Middle School?"
“My grades have always been good.”
"..." Gao Shaoning looked embarrassed. That was strange. Could it be that the rumors he had heard since childhood were false
"Then let's go out and play if we have a chance, sing or something..." Gao Shijin was about to leave, and Gao Shaoning said to Cheng Ran, "I will also go to No. 10 Middle School when I have time. When the time comes, I will ask Sister Hanhan to introduce some friends to you. They are all very good..."
Cheng Ran nodded, "Okay."
Gao Shijin drove out his Passat and asked if Cheng Ran and Xu Lan wanted to give them a ride. Xu Lan said no, it was not on the way and it was not far and they could just catch the bus back. The two of them could also get familiar with the streets of Chengdu. Gao Shijin nodded, and the four families over there drove away in a Passat, a Santana and a Suzuki sedan.
In the Passat, Gao Shaoning's mother expressed her surprise, "Cheng Ran actually came to study at No. 10 Middle School. Our Ningning couldn't even get in..."
Gao Shijin frowned and said, "In addition to good academic performance, many families in No. 10 Middle School are rich and powerful, and the competition has become very serious in recent years... It may not be a good thing for Cheng Ran to study there. He is the head of a chicken and not the tail of a phoenix. In Shanhai, at least his grades are top-notch. After entering No. 10 Middle School, I am afraid that the confidence he has cultivated will soon be worn away..."
Gao Shijin's wife said, "You are such a person. You don't even want to ask for anything good. After all, he is your nephew..."
Gao Shijin was scolded by his wife and smiled awkwardly, "I just said that. It's not impossible. Haha..."
…
After having dinner with Gao Shijin that day, he returned to the hotel outside the company. Cheng Feiyang came back in the evening. The reason why he did not go to Gao Shijin's place for dinner in the afternoon was that he was actually attending a meeting in the provincial government.
In fact, the scale of Fulong Company is not that big. The reason why the government pays attention to it is actually because of the launch and application of the disaster prevention and early warning system, and the role it plays in flood control at this time. The province plans to apply for project support for Fulong and hold a procurement meeting for meteorological units in the province. It will use Sichuan Province as a base to fully promote the disaster prevention and early warning system.
At this time, the battle against floods and disaster relief was gradually coming to an end, but the subsequent impact was far-reaching. The disaster exposed some shocking malpractices, such as corruption, and began to pursue and punish them. On the contrary, the collectives and individuals who made outstanding contributions in this regard should also be commended. Fulong was also included in this scope and was to be honored in Beijing and the province when he returned.
When Cheng Feiyang mentioned that he was going to Beijing, Xu Lan was stunned... Then she was surprised and excited. She was so happy that Cheng Feiyang was obviously too excited, but at this time he was still very proud. He looked at Cheng Ran with a look of "Is your father powerful?" Cheng Ran gave him a thumbs up, and Cheng Feiyang let him go with satisfaction.
After talking about this important matter, Cheng Feiyang asked about the whole process of their meal today.
When Cheng Feiyang heard that Gao Shijin offered Xu Lan a salary of 500 yuan to work in his shop, he shook his head and smiled at Cheng Ran, "Your cousin Gao... who wants him to make arrangements there?"
After listening to it, Cheng Feiyang picked up the Nokia phone and walked towards the bathroom, "Okay... Let's invite them back another day. I'll call your great uncle in Shanhai..."
Xu Lan curled her lips at his back and said to Cheng Ran, "Your father is eager to show off!"
Cheng Ran thought about what happened today and had a serious question, "Mom, you must be busy since you are here. Have you ever thought about doing something?"
Cheng Ran knew that Xu Lan was a person who could not sit still. She was actually very ambitious. Last year, when Cheng Feiyang's business was on the rise, she still went to get off work on time every day, without any awareness of being the wife of the Fulong CEO. She had never thought about taking a position in Fulong Company. She did not understand Cheng Feiyang's telecommunications and electronics stuff, and she was not interested in it.
But if Xu Lan really stayed in Rongcheng to take care of them, Cheng Ran felt that even if Xu Lan agreed verbally, she would not be willing to do so. The heir of the state-owned hotel offered to give her shares so that she could stay, but for Cheng Feiyang's career and Cheng Ran's studies, she still made sacrifices.
Although she never said it verbally, her mother must have felt bad when Gao Shijin asked her to work in his shop today.
So Cheng Ran just made it clear.
Xu Lan was stunned for a moment, then shook her head, "What can I do?... Times are changing fast now, what can I do in Chengdu? Can I really work for your uncle? I definitely won't do it for 500 yuan. When I was at Shanhai Hotel, I could get 700 yuan after all the miscellaneous expenses. And I have to take care of you two masters."
"My dad doesn't need you to take care of him. He works day and night and is often on business trips. Besides, the construction of the cafeteria at the headquarters will be an important part of the corporate culture construction. By then, everyone in the cafeteria will eat better than you."
Xu Lan raised her hand and hit him, "You think my cooking is not tasty, right?"
Cheng Ran rubbed his hands and smiled, "Haha, I'm old enough now, so I don't need you to take care of me. I can probably have lunch at school, just one meal in the afternoon, no need to bother at all. You'll have plenty of free time then, so are you going to enjoy your retirement life in advance?"
Xu Lan was touched at her soft spot, and said, "I don't want to do that either, but what can I do..."
My mother is on to something.
Cheng Ran smiled mysteriously, "It's not complicated, actually. I'll introduce you to an easy one. All you need is vision and courage. The country's policy this year is to open up the commodity housing economy. There may be some profit in real estate... Anyway, you're just sitting around doing nothing. My dad keeps making money, and you don't have much to do. Why don't you convert his money into real estate... Speculating in real estate is over."
Xu Lan rolled her eyes and said, "You know it again! This is the government releasing favorable policies, and the housing prices will rise. But when the favorable policies are over, the value of the houses will fall again!"
"Whether it will fall or not, why don't you give it a try? Anyway, we are settling down here, so we should buy a house. The company wants to build welfare housing, which won't take up much of our own funds. It's okay to treat this as a business and give it a try."
Xu Lan thought about it, and finally looked at Cheng Ran. Thinking of the influence and results of Cheng Ran's suggestions over the past year on Cheng Feiyang, she nodded, "Okay, you are very smart and have your own ideas. Anyway, I don't know what to do, so I'll give it a try when I have time..."
As she said this, Xu Lan inexplicably became excited, "Hey, you have to give me some advice when the time comes!"
This is my mother. She is always in the limelight. She is full of energy when talking about her business projects. However, this kind of character, which is a giant in both thought and action, is also quite troublesome. After she was laid off in her previous life, she believed everything she heard. She would do whatever others said was profitable. She would often join the last batch of leeks when she joined. Swish! Swish! Swish! She was harvested by others in no time...
In this life, my mother just happened to have nothing to do after arriving in Chengdu, so she could give full play to her strong career ambition. The earliest batch of real estate speculators in Chengdu have all become wealthy, and the good families have all built their own real estate groups… Cheng Ran never thought about how big his mother's business would be. It was good enough for her to speculate in real estate and follow the trend of the real estate industry.
As for him giving advice...
In fact, no advice is needed at all.
Three words... buy, buy, buy. Just buy whatever you want.
In this peaceful life that determines the future, time passes by bit by bit, sweeping across the country, and the annual epic disaster film "School Opening" is about to be staged.
I got out and I jumped back in.
Throw the ticket at me.
