On the morning of Labor Day, Ye Fan went to the army with food and supplies.
In the afternoon, Ye Fan came back with large and small bags. There was one more person in the car, and it was Geng Zhiye.
Ye Fan wanted to curse when he talked about this. When he called him last night, Geng Zhiye said that she could come over and that he was not going anywhere in the capital recently.
He arrived at the unit at around 11 o'clock, had dinner at 12 o'clock, woke up from a nap, packed his luggage, and left before 3 o'clock. He did not stay for four hours in total.
Ye Fan was confused.
After getting in the car, I asked him where he was going. Geng Zhiye suppressed a smile and replied: "Go home." Then he added that it was finally his turn to take a vacation.
If he wasn't driving, Ye Fan would have given him a beating.
After a while, Ye Fan remembered something that Chang Guangrong mentioned first: "Can you retire?"
Geng Zhiye looked regretful: "My level can reach sixty-three."
Ye Fan was shocked: "You're not a full-time military official, why does it have to be so late?!"
"Regular job number sixty-five!" Geng Zhiye said.
Ye Fan looked at his mental state: "You don't want to work for another ten years, do you?"
"Now that you are retired and have nothing to do at home, I will take you to and from get off work every day? What should I do while you work?" Geng Zhiye said without waiting for her to answer, "Men should also have their own careers!"
Ye Fan thought he would work for another five years at most, but he didn't expect that he really planned to work for ten years: "Can we not be poor?"
"I'm not poor, just drive well." Geng Zhiye said honestly, "Actually, the chief was surprised when he saw my age that I was over fifty. Between asking me to retire or to work for a few more years, they did not hesitate to choose the latter. At first, I really thought I looked younger.”
Ye Fan: "Is it because you are in good health?"
"More than that, because I'm good at foreign languages. I have to thank Erbao for talking about this. She didn't memorize vocabulary every day, and asked me to ask her to write down the words. I had forgotten it." There are some tasks that require personal analysis and verification by Geng Zhiye, plus the previous In the past few days, other departments have conducted exercises, as well as joint naval, land and air military exercises. It seems that they have to prepare for major events and are not suitable for changes, so it is impossible to ask Geng Zhiye to retire at this time. But this cannot be told to Ye Fan. Geng Zhiye stopped at the red light and asked Ye Fan, "Hey, do you think I should go to the military academy for a few years? I will retire at sixty. If I can re-employ with more salary, I will have something to do. Otherwise, I will retire in a few years. We can only eat and wait to die!”
Ye Fanxin said that he obviously didn't want to retire, so he was talking nonsense.
"It won't happen one day." Ye Fan said, "If you retire in the next two years, come to get off work with me. I'll go to the company, you go to the sales office, contact your soldiers and ask them if they want a computer."
Geng Zhiye opened his mouth in disbelief: "You, you, you, you want me to be your salesperson?"
Ye Fan nodded: "It must be higher than your salary in the army!"
Geng Zhiye didn't want to pay attention to her.
"There is no high or low profession." Ye Fan said leisurely.
Geng Zhiye was deafened.
Ye Fan laughed: "What if I retire in a few years? I am on a business trip for work and you are traveling locally?"
"That's pretty much it!" Geng Zhiye was reluctantly satisfied, "Please hire a bodyguard for me."
Ye Fan said without hesitation: "I have to book a hotel for you."
"Then the year after tomorrow."
"Why?"
"In the general election at the end of next year, many positions will be changed. I am sure many people are eager for me to go there. It will be easier to apply for approval at that time."
Ye Fan didn't want to complain, but he thought beautifully. For Geng Zhihua's sake, his brother will not be asked to retire early. Geng Zhiye was greedy for money, had been warned, punished, or was physically incapable of doing so. This is another matter.
Because he agreed to allow the army to do business, some messy things have happened in the past few years. It is rare to have a good image, and he is neither fighting nor grabbing. It would be strange if the superiors did not squeeze him dry.
Ye Fan smiled and nodded: "Okay, I'll wait for you for two years."
Geng Zhiye calculated: "One year and ten months."
A sentence came to Ye Fan's mind instantly - plans cannot keep up with changes.
Since it is a change, it is unpredictable. There is no point in talking about it now. Ye Fan swallowed it back and asked: "Where to play?"
"Going on a trip?" Geng Zhiye asked.
Ye Fan: "You don't need a physical examination? Have you not had a physical examination this year?"
"Then let's have a physical examination first." Geng Zhiye wanted to go out early, so he went to the hospital with Ye Fan early the next morning. Ye Fan didn't have a physical examination last year and must make up for it this year.
Also with them was Yu Wentao. In her old age, Yu Wentao was worried about finding out something, so she was very resistant and complained from beginning to end. The doctor who was doing the physical examination looked fine, and she only calmed down on the way back.
It’s similar to the Ye family. Chen Xiaohui's advice to her parents to get a physical examination is more laborious than giving her daughter an injection. Chen Xiaohui wanted to yell several times. Whenever this happens, she admires Ye Fan. After all these years, she has never lost her temper. How stable her inner core is.
There were many viruses in the hospital, so Ye Fan didn't go to the hospital to get the results of the physical examination. On his day off, Sun Laifu called home before getting off work and went straight to Ye Fan's house with the medical examination form.
Ye Fan's house had a room for him and Geng Zhiqin, and Sun Laifu went to catch up on his sleep after having something to eat. Geng Zhiqin brought his daughter over after class, and the family of three had lunch at Ye Fan's house before going back.
Yu Wentao only had some minor problems, and she just needed to pay attention to them. She did not need to take medicine and be hospitalized. Yu Wentao was very happy and personally made a sweet and sour pot-wrapped pork dish for her granddaughter.
But half of this dish went into Sun Laifu's stomach.
If you were in someone else's house, you would definitely think that Sun Laifu's hairy son-in-law was ignorant.
In the first few years of Sun Laifu and Geng Zhiqin's marriage, Ye Fan and Yu Wentao were very kind to him, and he didn't dare to stay at home. Dabao didn't even shout "Laifu", he just put his arm around his shoulders and called him brother, and Ye Fan pretended not to notice. Such a relaxed atmosphere allowed Sun Laifu to let go of his guard. When he heard Yu Wentao say, "Eat more if you like it," he ate more.
At first, Sun Laifu was afraid of being with Geng Zhiye. He heard from his brother-in-law that Geng Zhiye had been a border guard for more than ten years and might have had something on his hands. Later, he discovered that Geng Zhiye was serious and had nothing to say to him. He and Ye Fan talked a lot together. Although Sun Laifu was amazed, he didn't feel scary at the same time.
After the meal, Sun Laifu went back with the dumplings given by his mother-in-law, while Ye Fan and Geng Zhiye went to the company.
Less than ten minutes after arriving at the company, the director knocked on the door and came in.
The director and Ye Fan were college classmates, but Ye Fan was more than ten years older than him. There was no psychological burden for the director to call her sister, so when she saw Geng Zhiye, she blurted out: "Brother-in-law is here too?"
Those who don't know the truth will think that Fanhua Company is a family workshop when they hear this name. In fact, there is only one sister in the company, Ye Fan.
Geng Zhiye stood up: "Is something wrong? Then I'll go upstairs and take a look."
Ye Fan gave his card to Geng Zhiye. Geng Zhiye was surprised: “You still need to swipe your card?”
"I didn't have good technology before, so I couldn't swipe my card. Now I have to swipe my card to get in." Ye Fan asked the director, "Shall we build a few more passages at the elevator entrance on the first floor like those for entering the subway?"
The director asked: "You need to swipe your card to get to the elevator? Yes. There are so many companies upstairs and downstairs, and the staff is too mixed."
Geng Zhiye was about to close the door when he heard this and couldn't help but said: "If you don't know, you would think you are a member of the National Security Bureau here."
The director was stunned, and after reacting, he looked at Ye Fan at a loss. Ye Fan chuckled: "Maybe in two years the national security will need our help."
The director opened his eyes wide in shock, looking like how do you know.
Geng Zhiye saw this and came to the door: "Is this why you came to Ye Fan?"
On the contrary, Ye Fan didn't understand and asked: "What's the matter?"
The director whispered: "Isn't our company very experienced in resisting intrusions? The Capital City Bureau wants us to select a few people to pass on our experience and provide some technical support."
Ye Fan understood now, but she couldn't figure it out. The capital was not a remote town: "No, why didn't they go to the top?"
“It seems that the higher-ups are too busy and don’t have time to go over there and stay for a few days.”
Ye Fan: "You can find a college."
Geng Zhiye said: "I didn't listen to what he said, experience! Who has nothing to do to attack university office computers?"
Ye Fan suddenly realized: "Yes! Then you can arrange it. You know everyone better than me."
Director: "I thought this was the first time the city had approached us for cooperation. I hoped that the leader of the software team would lead the team and select three more employees. But once he left, the group was leaderless."
Ye Fan raised his hand: "The software team does not need a team leader at the moment. As far as I know, each one is more diligent than the other. If I don't have time to spend with my girlfriend, I bring my girlfriend to the company to work overtime with them."
The director's face changed drastically: "When did it happen? How can outsiders be allowed into the office?"
Ye Fan was negligent: "You shouldn't make such a low-level mistake, right?"
The director thought about those employees. They were all from key universities. There were no fools. Each one of them had signed a confidentiality contract, so they should not bring anyone in.
But what if.
"I'll go up and ask," the director said.
Ye Fan: "Wait a minute. Team Leader Liang wants to transfer. I have no problem with him leading the team, but you ask him if he wants to go. Passive strike is not okay when you get there."
The director had a complicated look on his face and seemed to want to say "You know", but he hesitated for a moment and said nothing.
Geng Zhiye was confused: "What happened to him?"
"I guess I saw that Team Leader Liang wanted to transfer, but I didn't expect him to give up the project bonus and mention this to me."
Geng Zhiye was surprised: "Is there anyone who has a grudge against money? Are your employees so aware?"
"You are so weird." Ye Fan said, "The team members are off work every day, and he is too embarrassed to play at home. Maybe his partner is not happy with the extra three days a week, so he can only take a step back for the sake of family harmony. But this is not a small amount of money. From now on. His children and elderly people are sick, or he wants to buy a good car or buy a villa, but he can't afford that much money. He feels angry. If his wife complains about his low salary, she will definitely leave. A few days ago, she told me to transfer her job. I advised him. He thought I was provoking the divorce.”
Geng Zhiye said in his heart, isn't it?
"Newly married?"
Ye Fan couldn't remember clearly. The gift was prepared by the secretary, who asked Geng Sensen to reimburse it. Geng Sensen had Ye Fan's private account. It happened that she was not in the capital, and there was something that could not be handled by the company. For example, if someone from a scientific research unit got married, who would handle it in the city government? It was a happy event, so Geng Sensen withdrew the money and went there on behalf of Ye Fan.
There were so many people in the company that Ye Fan couldn't even remember who was getting married.
Ye Fan said: "I haven't heard that he has children. The old man is not yet old enough to need their care. He has a house, money and savings. His life is prosperous. He is a newlywed every day."
Geng Zhiye couldn't understand: "You are young and don't want to fight but want to enjoy?" "Everyone has his own way of living." Ye Fan turned on the phone and asked: "Are you still going up?"
Geng Zhiye sat down next to her: "He has said everything he wants to say, there is no need for me to avoid him."
After staring at the computer for a few minutes, Geng Zhiye felt dizzy, got up, touched a book, and lay on the sofa to kill time.
When the director came in again and saw one lying down and the other sitting, he felt an indescribable sense of dissonance. He sat down opposite Ye Fan and suddenly remembered that the TV showed men working and women playing, but here it was just the opposite. No wonder he found it strange.
When he thought about the heroines on TV who were fair-skinned, beautiful and virtuous, who could make money no matter what their specialties were, and didn't need to rely on the male protagonists, he understood why he didn't like this kind of urban drama, because he didn't like looking at breasts. A useless protagonist with no ambitions.
Ye Fan asked: "Are you sure?"
The director nodded: "The employees' families have never been there. They are all at the reception desk on the first floor. Some of them are busy reading and working, and some are chatting with the front desk. There are refreshments at the reception desk, and they are very happy on the first floor. Let's go together when we get off work."
Ye Fan felt relieved: "Where is Team Leader Liang?"
"Lao Liang is willing to go." The director frowned slightly, a little worried, "But he can't contact the outside world these days. If he needs to be busy for a week, his wife will be anxious and will most likely come to the company to ask for someone."< br>
Ye Fan: "I'm not the aunt of the neighborhood committee. You come to me for everything."
The director said: "Should I lead the team myself?"
"No need."
Ye Fan has two receptionists, one is smart, careful and thoughtful, and the other is very beautiful. Many customers have to go to the rest area on the first floor to stay for a while just passing by. But her temper is like the chicken coop head she used to be. There is a thorn in the sentence before it is finished.
Ye Fan heard Han Dawei's wife mention that other company employees didn't know that she had a boyfriend who wanted to pursue her. She said that she had a boyfriend. When the other party heard that he was a salesperson, he told her to break up with her boyfriend and follow him. The girl first scolded the person for being stinky and shameless, and then slapped him with a slap. Fortunately, the security guard had quick eyesight and quick hands to stop him, otherwise Ye Fan would have had to go to the police station to arrest him.
Ye Fan said: "Go and tell the front desk that the company has arranged for Team Leader Liang to go on a business trip. His wife knows about this. If she thinks Team Leader Liang has been away for too long and asks the company to hire someone, ask them to send him away."
The director couldn't help stroking his hands: "How could I forget them? Lao Liang's wife is not an employee of the company, and she can't pass the security check without a work permit."
Ye Fan: "If she acts like a shrew, call the police."
"That's not necessary, is it?"
Ye Fan is not joking, she is very serious: "There is no rule without rules!"
In the past, there were only a dozen people in the company, and the director could see them all at a glance. Now he doesn't even recognize the software team. If he doesn't need to be restrained by rules, something big will happen sooner or later.
Director: "I will remind Lao Liang and ask him to comfort his family."
Geng Zhiye sat up and said, "You two are talking as if I have nothing to do." He put down his book and said, "Who is free?" Seeing the director's "how do you know" look, Geng Zhiye was surprised, "You really don't have a job? A prestigious school. Can a high-achieving graduate tolerate his wife being a homeless person?”
"I used to have a job." The director and team leader Liang were also classmates, and they talked about each other's affairs during the dinner date. "Isn't he busy? His wife needs to worry about family matters. His wife's annual salary is not as much as his project bonus. It also depends on the leader. His face, so——" Give Geng Zhiye a look and let him understand.
Ye Fan asked: "You resigned this year, right? No wonder you have time to make trouble. You're free!"
The director also felt free, "Then I'll ask the front desk to come up?"
Ye Fan nodded slightly: "You make arrangements. I'm going out for a few days in a few days. If you can't handle it, just ask Accountant Geng."
"When Lao Liang comes back and wants to be transferred to another position, are we really going to let him transfer?" the director asked.
Ye Fan sneered: "Let's survive these few days." He thought of something, "Has no one in the company been divorced yet? No matter how low the divorce rate is these days, there won't be any."
The director didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He couldn't help but shake his head and laugh after closing the door.
Seeing this, the secretary asked quietly: "What are we talking about?"
Director: "The boss said that no one in our company has ever been divorced. I don't know who can be the first person."
The secretary blurted out: "Team Leader Liang!"
The director choked for a moment: "——Don't talk nonsense, as far as Lao Liang's conditions are concerned, his wife was so dizzy that she divorced him."
The secretary shrugged: "Forget it if you don't believe me!" He couldn't help but add a few words, "Team Leader Liang is not willing to let the possibility happen that his wife will look like the receptionist. She is not very good-looking, not considerate and gentle, and he doesn't have much money. , Why does Team Leader Liang stay here? He’s missing an ancestor.”
The director couldn't help but think that his partner's figure, appearance, patience, etc. were not as good as those of the two receptionists. But she is diligent, loves to cook and do housework, has a boring personality but is knowledgeable. She is a teacher during winter and summer vacations, and she doesn't mind living with her parents-in-law, so she should be very filial.
On the day of the blind date, the director asked her where she was going to go on vacation. It turned out that she was either hiking in the mountains, visiting the park, or going to the library or museum. The director wanted to stay away, but this was Ye Fan's plan and he had to give the boss some face. During the meal, she thought the food was flashy and tasted so-so. The director chimed in with a few words, making her mistakenly think she had met a close friend. Only then did the director discover her other advantages.
Team Leader Liang’s wife can also cook and do housework, but she only knows how to do it, not that she is good at it or likes it. Other aspects are not outstanding either. Generally speaking, they are just ordinary office workers.
Team leader Liang is from outside, and his target is from the capital. It's a pity that his wife is not an only child, and his father-in-law's house and savings have nothing to do with him.
Team leader Liang settled in the capital early and did not need to marry a capital person to stay here. There are no children involved, and divorce is as easy as getting a marriage certificate.
The more the director thought about it, the more he realized that what the secretary said made sense, "I would rather demolish ten temples than break up one marriage!"
The secretary laughed: "pedantic!"
The director waved his hand and said that he had nothing to say to her.
Ye Fan's office was well soundproofed and she couldn't hear anything outside. She didn't speak and it was extremely quiet in the office. It didn't take long for Geng Zhiye to fall asleep.
Ye Fan originally wanted to wake him up, but was worried that he wouldn't be sleepy at night. But when he thought that he was physically and mentally exhausted in the army and couldn't get enough sleep even after returning home, he was allowed to sleep until he woke up naturally.
Geng Zhiye got up, the setting sun shone in, and he asked: "Is it dawn?"
Ye Fan laughed and said, "Did you sleep? You can't tell the difference between morning and evening just because the setting sun and rising sun are almost the same."
Geng Zhiye stood up and looked at the afterglow of the setting sun: "Why did I sleep for so long?"
Ye Fan looked at his watch: "How many hours have you slept? Are you still sleepy at night?"
"I still feel sleepy." Geng Zhiye actually wanted to take a nap, "I'm going to wash my face."
Ye Fan: "Then I'll turn off the computer."
While cooking in the evening, Ye Fan asked her mother-in-law if she wanted to go traveling.
"You two go ahead." Yu Wentao said without hesitation.
Ye Fan: "Ask Xiao Wang to accompany you. We will go there for five days, from Monday to Friday. Dabao and Erbao happen to be at work, and there is no one at home."
"Isn't Sensen a human?" Yu Wentao said angrily.
Ye Fan laughed and said, "Let him go back to the courtyard. My sister-in-law is usually bored at home alone, so let him take the opportunity to accompany her."
Yu Wentao: "Where are you going?"
"How about going to the grassland?" Ye Fan said, "It seems you've never been there?"
Yu Wentao was very curious and asked Xiao Wang if he wanted to go.
Xiao Wang nodded subconsciously and suddenly remembered something, "I don't know my partner yet."
Ye Fan: "Tell him later. Bring him a few kilograms of beef jerky when you come back. He will definitely be very happy."
"Yes. I can bring him a gift." Xiao Wang decided to go, "Grandma, let's go together. If you don't go, I will stay and take care of you."
Yu Wentao wants to say, you don't need to take care of me. But the nanny was originally hired for her. Ye Fan is usually very talkative, but sometimes he can be stubborn. Besides, even if Ye Fan agreed to take Xiao Wang with him, Geng Zhiye would not agree. Yu Wentao got to know Geng Zhiye and said, "Then let's go together."
"It might be colder over there than here, so bring two thick clothes." Ye Fan explained the matter and asked Geng Zhiye to find the thick clothes he had put away.
On the weekend, when the children came back, Ye Fan took the opportunity to tell Dabao and Erbao that she was going out.
Ye Fan was very busy in the past, and both Dabao and Erbao noticed it and didn't want their mother to have to work so hard all the time. They said "hmm" to indicate that they knew about it, and reminded them not to forget to bring them gifts.
The next morning, Erbao gave Ye Fan her Polaroid again: "Put in a few more pictures of scenery and cows, sheep and horses. Don't just take pictures of you and dad."
Geng Zhiye gave her a slap in the face.
Erbao drove her own car to work.
Geng Sensen now has a car, a birthday gift from Ye Fan. Geng Sensen drove to the company, and Ye Fan and his party also set off.
Since I was not in a hurry and had no intention of crossing the entire grassland, I stopped to rest when I was tired and went to the city to stay in a hotel at night. I was not tired after a few days. I ate a lot of local specialties and even tried horseback riding. Yu Wentao was very satisfied with this trip. On the way back, she couldn't help but tell Ye Fan that Huihui was not as good at arranging things as she was.
Ye Fan laughed and said: "Huihui had a big belly at that time, so she couldn't go to many places and couldn't eat many things."
"Yes. I forgot." Yu Wentao said, "I don't blame her."
Ye Fan: "Go to sleep. You'll be home as soon as you wake up."
After a while, there was no movement behind. Geng Zhiye looked back and saw that both of them were asleep, and whispered: "It's strange, they don't get motion sickness."
Ye Fan: "I drive steadily."
Geng Zhiye admitted this, and the irregular and congested traffic did not make Ye Fan brake suddenly. The car was so comfortable that Geng Zhiye fell asleep before leaving the city.
Ye Fan asked: "Is it interesting?"
"This trip?" Geng Zhiye liked it very much, especially riding a horse was more enjoyable than flying a helicopter. "It's interesting. Let's do it once a year when I retire."
Ye Fanxin said, the plan was really good.
"Okay." Ye Fan agreed happily. Geng Zhiye was very happy and smiled all the way.
After not being at home for a few days, there was a layer of dust in the house. Geng Zhiye helped clean it the next day, and Ye Fan went to the company.
Seeing him lying on the table in a daze the day before yesterday, Ye Fan walked over. The receptionist got up in a hurry and explained: "I'm not lazy, I just sat down."
