"The headquarters of the Army Ant Company is fully completed."
Zhao Min contacted Chen Mo.
Today is the fourth day of the Lunar New Year. In the past few days, Chen Mo has been free to play with his parents. The holiday is about to end.
Now that Zhao Min contacted him, there was no surprise.
"I asked people to work overtime years ago and it has been completed. I should have informed you earlier, but you and Xiaoyu had already left the company at that time. In order not to disturb you, I didn't miss the next few days, so I told you now." Zhao Min said.
"Well, I will go back with Xiaoyu tomorrow." Chen Mo replied.
"It's not convenient to talk on the phone. When you come back, I will talk to you in detail about settling in. Happy New Year." Zhao Min said.
"Happy New Year."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Mo looked at his mother who was teasing the puppy. It was a little golden retriever, and it was Xiaoyu's idea to buy this pet.
After they go to work, there is no one at home to accompany their parents. Having a pet will at least make their parents feel less lonely. When you have free time at home, play with your pets, go out for a walk, or take your dog for a walk.
Chen Mo asked them to move to Binhai City, but they were unwilling to go there. I have been in this city since I was a child and have never left it in my life. If they leave without friends or relatives to talk to, they will only be more uncomfortable.
He didn't force it. Anyway, it would only be a few hours before he came back. It’s okay to have a meal with your family and chat.
"Mom, I'm going back to the company tomorrow afternoon."
As soon as Chen Mo spoke, Chen's mother's smile faded, her hand teasing the puppy stopped, and reluctance flashed in her eyes. Only then did I feel like I was leaving again not long after I came back.
My son has a career and it is impossible to be with him all the time.
"Yes." Mother Chen nodded and looked at Xiaoyu: "Xiaoyu, go there and take good care of Xiaomo. Xiaomo doesn't pay attention to his daily life. Mom can rest assured that you are here."
"I got it, Mom." Xiaoyu nodded with a smile. Now she was gradually getting used to the identity of this soon-to-be daughter-in-law: "We will come back often on weekends or holidays in the future."
"Hey, good." Mother Chen had a smile on her face.
"Xiao Mo, your uncle came to see us yesterday." Father Chen hesitated and spoke at the side. Both of them looked at Chen Mo. Now that their son was in charge of the family, it would be very bad for them to hide some things.
"Your cousin is short of funds for his business and wants to borrow 500,000 yuan." Mother Chen also said. I didn’t say whether it was lent out or not.
Chen Mo, who was sitting on the sofa, looked calm and nodded gently: "Then borrow it."
"Hey, okay." Mother Chen's face showed a smile. She was afraid that her son would mind. After all, Chen Mo remembered the unpleasantness that happened back then.
"Your dad and I will go to bed first, and we will prepare breakfast for you tomorrow." Mother Chen handed the little golden retriever to Xiao Yu: "You guys should go to bed early after watching TV. We have to be on the road tomorrow."
Chen Mo leaned on the sofa when he saw his parents walking into the room.
"What's wrong?" Xiaoyu asked.
"Eighteen years ago, the boss of my father's workplace went abroad to raise money, and the arrears of wages were not paid. My father was unemployed and had no place to live. I asked my uncle to borrow 20,000 yuan to go back to my hometown and build a small flat building to tide over the difficulties.
My dad's job hasn't been settled yet, so he works part-time. During the Chinese New Year, my eldest aunt was afraid that my family would not be able to pay back the money, so she forced my mother to pay back the money in front of many relatives. That was the first time I saw my mother cry. She really had no money and couldn't come up with any money to pay back. "
Chen Mo's voice was calm and there was no big mood swing. It happened more than ten years ago, and he was only a few years old at the time.
"At that time, my uncle made some money from the fishing boat and lent it to my family to pay back. My family and my uncle's family were at loggerheads and we haven't had any contact for more than ten years. I didn't expect to be in contact now."
Xiaoyu sat quietly, being a listener.
"My uncle is a good person, but my aunt is not in a good mood. With my mother's character, I'm afraid she would have loaned out the money long ago. No matter what, my uncle helped our family get through the most difficult period. And He is also mom’s brother, blood is thicker than water.”
Chen Mo didn't object because he didn't want to make things difficult for his mother. After all, they are relatives. They have been at loggerheads for more than ten years, and now there is a chance to get back together. If Chen Mo objects, my mother will not be happy.
After so many years, my parents are relieved, and Chen Mo can't even talk about being resentful.
"Don't think about this." Xiaoyu said, "Go back to bed, we have to get up early tomorrow."
The next morning, Chen's mother prepared luggage for Chen Mo. It was all food, for fear that he would be hungry.
This was the case every time he went to school before, but this time Chen Mo didn't refuse and put all the things he had prepared in the car.
"Mom and Dad, please go back. There is no need to send you off."
After saying goodbye to his parents, Chen Mo asked Wang Hai to drive away to Binhai City.
Wang Hai came over to take over the position of Black Hawk's bodyguard and driver after the New Year. Black Hawk also took two days off to go home to visit his family.
Zhao Min was wearing smart business attire, and her high heels hit the floor, making regular sounds. Entering Chen Mo's office, he put the information in his hand on Chen Mo's desk.
"During the Chinese New Year period, orders for seismographs increased by 38 units, from the Philippines and Iran, as well as orders from Nepal." Zhao Min sat opposite Chen Mo and spoke leisurely.
"The harvest is good."
Chen Mo opened the file.
The first is an order for seismometers, and the second is cost statistics for the company's headquarters.
"Due to the rush for construction, the cost of constructing the headquarters is relatively high," Zhao Min said.
The construction cost of the entire headquarters park exceeds 7 billion. This cost is already very high, but fortunately the company has money.
It is now fully completed and ready to move in at any time.
Their current office headquarters is rented, and they urgently need a real headquarters. Since the beginning of the headquarters construction plan, the construction party has been forced to meet the construction deadline, and with the ordering of various high-end experimental equipment, the cost is also relatively high.
"Find a time to move in. It's best to move in within this week, in the new year, just in time to move in to the new headquarters." Chen Mo said.
His time is more important than money. To him now, money is just a number, so he makes people rush to meet the construction deadline of the headquarters. The company headquarters is completed and settled in as soon as possible.
The equipment in the headquarters laboratory is more complete, and those equipment and laboratories are needed for chip manufacturing, superconducting computer research and other technical research topics.
The new laboratory is more confidential and has a larger space, so he can freely conduct research. The technology development cycle will become shorter.
According to the normal development speed, it would be impossible to complete all the technologies in the Science and Technology Library in ten lifetimes. To achieve qualitative improvement, technical productivity must be liberated.
His goal is to take control of the entire library's technology.
"Okay." Zhao Min agreed: "Let's do it next Monday. It has been prepared there and can be moved in at any time. I will inform the company about the relocation of the headquarters. This is the first major event in the new year."
The news that it is about to move into the headquarters makes the employees who have just returned to the company burst with joy. With the headquarters, they have a real place to belong.
Nowadays on the Internet, the employees of the Marching Ant Company are called Ant-men. They are Ant-men, and the headquarters is the ant nest that belongs to them. Now that we can finally settle in the ant nest, it is a great joy.
On Monday, the vigorous move-in ceremony is also in progress.
