Ye Fan explained while signing: "The director has a lot of experience. I was coaxed to the point where I almost transferred the house. Fortunately, I was busy with work and needed to go on a business trip. I was separated from his partner for a few days to gain more experience outside and stop the loss in time." .”
"I heard he has a good relationship with Team Leader Liang. Does Team Leader Liang not know about this?"
Ye Fan said: "Team Leader Liang may think that if he doesn't find someone who likes to spend money and dress up, he won't encounter this kind of thing."
Geng Zhiye was amused: "Naive! But I'm curious, are all the people upstairs so naive, or are he and the director just an exception?"
"Half and half. But the salary is high. Both men and women are confident at home. Their families don't dare to cause trouble. There aren't many things to worry about." Although Ye Fan didn't ask everyone one by one, she often went upstairs and could tell something about the employees' mental outlook. .
Geng Zhiye nodded: "For example, in our family, your mother has always felt that I am not good enough for you."
"Come on." Ye Fan glared at him, "Don't blame my mother for everything. My mother doesn't owe you anything. Also, go back in two days and replace all the TVs and refrigerators at home."
Geng Zhiye: "Why don't you keep Ye Qian's money?"
Ye Fan: "I am filial. Do you have any questions?"
"Then it's time to change ours." Geng Zhiye said.
Ye Fan nodded: "Change. Take Aunt Yu with you and let her choose."
"What about the old one?"
Ye Fan: "Ask Uncle Yu who needs to be sold at a discount. It's not worth selling to the scrap collection station. A refrigerator costs ten yuan."
"So cheap?" Geng Zhiye wondered if he had been in the army for a long time.
Ye Fan raised his eyebrows and looked at him with a look like "How expensive do you think it is?"
Geng Zhiye tutted: "Sure enough, second-hand ones are worthless."
Ye Fan suspected that he was actually teasing Team Leader Liang when he mentioned the refrigerator. Ye Fan had a lot of things to do and was too lazy to argue with him.
Geng Zhiye replaced two electrical appliances, stayed at home for another day, and then returned to the army.
Ye Fan originally thought that because of Team Leader Liang's temperament, he might regret it before the divorce. Probably both of them were angry, no one tried to persuade them to calm down, and the director even made noises, so the divorce certificate was issued very quickly. However, his ex-wife was not polite and accepted 50,000 yuan.
Considering what happened to his brother-in-law, Ye Fan felt that his ex-wife's family might regret it, so he told the security guards to keep an eye on them.
When wages were paid at the beginning of June, Ye Fan gave the front desk and security guards three extra days of salary, which was the hard work paid for the days when Team Leader Liang's ex-wife came to see someone. The security guards and front desk staff were very motivated after receiving the money, as if they were checking for spies every day.
More than half a month later, Ye Fan saw the "Taiwan Strait" news on the news and realized that Geng Zhiye had not told the truth that day. Why did he speak a foreign language?
Ye Fan guessed that Geng Zhiye didn't have time to come back recently, and it wasn't suitable for her to go there. Sure enough, the call couldn't be made, and Geng Zhiye seemed to have disappeared. After being a military subordinate for many years, Ye Fan is used to it, and he can be busy as he pleases.
On the last day of June, a sign was hung on the empty office on the seventh floor - Mingguang Software.
The employee asked Team Leader Liang: "Isn't this our company's office? Why are we renting it out?"
After the words fell, the director came out of the office: "Use the company's office and water and electricity to calculate our initial investment, and we will be a brother unit from now on."
Team leader Liang heard the director say something: "I seem to have heard the word Mingguang somewhere before?"
Director: "From Hangzhou University, he created a software and sold it for hundreds of thousands before he even graduated from college."
Team leader Liang suddenly realized: "Chu Guangming? Isn't he in a scientific research unit?"
"No freedom." The director saw that everything was fine and waited for someone to come over. "There are more than ten people in his team. Except for him, they are all fresh graduates. Don't bully others."
Team leader Liang smiled and said: "How can it be possible? But what are you studying?"
Ye Fan told the director. The director also felt that there was no need to hide it since they were all his own: "Anti-virus software. It has a different focus than ours. But don't be stingy if you need your help. If his company's profits are good, our company will get dividends. The boss's hand is as loose as a The old lady’s cotton waistband, she may prepare something for us in the next few years when she has money.”
A newly hired employee asked: "Is it possible it's a car?"
"Luxury car? I can't even think about it! A three-legged man with a cloak is just about the same," the director said angrily.
New employee: "That's fine. It won't be affected by the wind or the rain. I heard that not all luxury cars are good. There are many that are raining heavily outside and light raining inside."
The director thought to himself, what nonsense are you talking about?
"In two years' time, I will suggest to the boss to prepare a few three-wheelers." The director was too lazy to talk to the employees about such trivial matters. It was like Ye Fan was too lazy to talk nonsense to him about trivial matters. The director wiped his hands and prepared to go downstairs.
Team Leader Liang stopped him: "He only does this kind of software?"
"Speak directly."
Team leader Liang: "If we also study it, is it a waste of resources?"
The director didn't expect this when he was chatting with Ye Fan. He asked Ye Fan to think differently and see what else the software team could do. Ye Fan mentioned chat tools and professional forums, hoping that computers would no longer be computers, but an online world with everything.
The director told everyone on the seventh floor about this.
Before he could finish speaking, one of the employees looked "whimsical". The director took out his mobile phone from his pocket: "Do you dare to think about this ten years ago? Do you dare to think about the city bureau asking us to cooperate ten years ago?"
Team leader Liang didn't dare to think about it, but it actually came true. After hearing this, he said: "We can try. But how can one computer install so many softwares."
Director: "Then find the research institute and engineering team to update the motherboard and add memory modules. Why does the company invest so much money every year?"
Everyone in the software team suddenly realized.
In the early morning of July 1st, the director came out of the tea room and saw a female employee running upstairs: "What happened upstairs?"
His assistant said: "I didn't expect Chu Guangming to be the same Chu Guangming. He is much more handsome than in the TV commercials. Before you came, I blamed you for deliberately concealing it."
Chu Guangming had been to the company with Dabao several times before. In the past few years, the director had stayed in the capital for the New Year and visited Ye Fan's house to pay New Year greetings. He was used to seeing him. The director didn't think the boy was so handsome that it was worth keeping something secret.
Director: "Brother-in-law is not ugly either."
"Who dares to look at the chief?" the assistant whispered, "Besides, he is not a celebrity, and he doesn't know celebrities."
Director: "Isn't Dabao better looking than him?"
"That's the young master's house, it's different."
The director couldn't understand: "No -" suddenly thought of something, "Don't they all want Chu Guangming to help them chase stars?"
The assistant shrugged.
The director shook his head: "This aspect really has nothing to do with academic qualifications and age!"
Chu Guangming thought that everyone would have objections when he intervened, but he didn't expect that he was so popular. When someone gives him face, he can't help but express it. In the afternoon, he drove to buy a lot of food and drinks to serve as afternoon tea to everyone on the seventh floor.
With such a good knowledge of things, they can be considered as one family after all, so the two families quickly chatted together. After digging a little deeper, Chu Guangming's employees discovered that they were all juniors and juniors of everyone in the software team.
We really became a family now.
However, no matter how much fun they had, they stayed in the tea lounge area. Chu Guangming's people did not enter the software team's office, and the software team employees did not linger at the door of his company's office. When the two groups of people realized this day, they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, and added, "Who cares!"
Ye Fan learned from the director that the situation upstairs was good. She stayed at home for a few more days and then went south with a few employees.
After arriving in Yongcheng, Ma Jianhua, the owner of the injection molding factory, invited Ye Fan to dinner. Since the two had known each other for many years, there was nothing to do during the dinner. Apart from work, they just chatted about home affairs. When the yellow croaker was served, Ma Jianhua said casually, "The seafood is not very good these days. It is all caught offshore. This time I will eat some. If there are good ones later, I will ask the employees who are on a business trip to the capital to bring them over."
The speaker has no intention, the listener has intention. Ye Fan once again confirmed that the coast was not peaceful this year. In her previous life, there had been no major changes in the mainland since she was born. It can be seen that although the danger is dangerous, the danger will eventually be averted.
Ye Fan felt at ease and thought about tasting delicious food: "I heard from the employees in Hangzhou that your parents and family are there?"
Ma Jianhua is Ye Fan's partner in Hong Kong City. His parents are from mainland China. When he was a child, his family's living customs were the same as those in the mainland, and he had talked about those memories with Ye Fan. That was why Ye Fan dared to persuade him to come back and invest.
Ma Jianhua's parents once said that if they wanted to return to the mainland, they would go back to their hometown. However, there were no relatives in his hometown, and there was no homestead for them in the village. His hometown felt like a foreign country, so Ma Jianhua persuaded his parents to move to Jiangnan.
The investment environment in Jiangnan is good, but it is not as humid and hot as Lingnan. The life is about the same. There is rice, seafood, bamboo shoots, sausages, etc. on the table, and you don’t have to worry about being bullied when you move here.
The Ma family's parents stayed in Hangzhou for a week, got to know each other thoroughly, and decided to listen to their son.
At first, Ma Jianhua's father-in-law's family did not agree, and his sisters and brothers strongly opposed it.
When Hong Kong City returns next year, some wealthy people in Hong Kong City are worried that private companies will be classified as state-owned enterprises, and they have been busy transferring assets in the past two years. Ma Jianhua's wife told her family that it would be better to live in a foreign country where the local government is not familiar with her. It would be better to go to the mainland and have the protection of the local government than to go abroad.
His father-in-law's family thought it was reasonable and agreed that his daughter would move back. Ma Jianhua's explanation to his family was that he didn't want a cent of the money his parents moved and sold the house. His sister was worried about the money and was the first to agree. Ma Jianhua was in Yongcheng the day his parents and wife arrived in Hangzhou. It was raining heavily and windy in Yongcheng, and the train was delayed. He called Ye Fan's employees and asked them to help him pick up his family. So Ma Jianhua was not surprised that Ye Fan knew about this.
Ma Jianhua nodded: "My parents' house was disposed of a few days ago. Originally, I wanted to dispose of my properties, but there is no sign of prices falling, so I plan to wait."
Ye Fan: "Let's wait until the Spring Festival. The water will overflow when it is full, but you don't know when the water will be full. Maybe the Spring Festival will be at its peak. Maybe it will only be eight points full. Even if it is seven points, you can still make a lot of money."
Ma Jianhua stretched out three fingers to express three times the net profit.
Seeing this, Ye Fan said: "It's quite a lot." He paused and said, "I don't understand the economy of the port city, but there will definitely be fluctuations before and after the return. We are not gamblers, and we shouldn't use our chips to fight at that time."
Ma Jianhua: "Yes!"
"What about your company in Hong Kong City?"
Ma Jianhua said: "My brother-in-law used to be my assistant, and now he takes over. He always believed that eggs should not be put in one basket, and suggested that I transfer my assets overseas. Later, when he learned that I knew the leaders of the governments of Yongcheng and Hangzhou, he changed his mind and let me I moved part of my assets to the mainland. I plan to keep only one apartment and the office building on the company floor. My parents-in-law are in Hong Kong, and my wife and I go back several times a year.”
Ye Fan nodded: "It's safe to live in your own home. Where is your child?"
Ma Jianhua sighed: "I am abroad. I don't want to come back. But the class structure there is very serious. I don't like it, and my wife doesn't like it either. When we go to visit them, the way foreigners look at them makes us feel inferior." Suddenly he remembered something, " I almost forgot, my wife heard me say that you also have a clothing business, and she asked me if you would mind telling her the source of the goods.”
Ye Fan couldn't help but ask: "Your wife wants to open a clothing store?"
"There is a wholesale market in Hangzhou. It is said that one store can make millions a year. She wants to try it."
Ye Fan opened his bag, took out a notepad and pen, wrote down a few addresses, then tore it up and gave it to Ma Jianhua. Ma Jianhua and his assistant were both stunned, looking like "Why are you so straightforward?"
Ye Fan smiled and said: "I don't have a clothing business in Hangzhou, so there is no need to be so stingy."
Ma Jianhua took it and thanked him.
"You're welcome. I appreciate people who are willing to work." Ye Fan wrote down another number, "If your wife doesn't understand anything, you can contact this person. We had dinner together, Zhang Xiaoming."
Ma Jianhua: "Yes, you said that he is in charge of the foreign trade company? Now he is still doing foreign trade business?"
"He's working on it. But he doesn't go out to do business. Foreigners often go to Xiushui Market to ask him to contact the manufacturer." What I didn't say is that Zhang Xiaoming came to Ye Fan for some things when he had no way out. Ye Fan contacted the state-owned enterprise. Ye Fan did not want the commission from the state-owned enterprise and asked Zhang Xiaoming to ask a foreigner for it.
Because he often troubled Ye Fan, Zhang Xiaoming disagreed when Ye Fan mentioned withdrawing his shares last year. Although Ye Fan no longer had this option, he could still find his brother-in-law. But Zhang Xiaoming was afraid of being disliked by his brother-in-law, so he might as well share the money with Ye Fan to save worry, and he didn't have to look at his brother-in-law's face when he went to his father-in-law's house during the holidays.
If his brother-in-law talks to him in a weird way and he doesn't dare to refute it, Dong Ying will be able to respond confidently. On the contrary, his brother-in-law can only say what he wants.
Zhang Xiaoming is used to being nagged by his family members and is not afraid of them. He does not want his wife and daughter to suffer injustice along with him.
Having said that, Yongcheng is on the right track, and Ma Jianhua is building another factory in Hangcheng. He is usually in Hangzhou and comes to Yongcheng several times a month. Fortunately, it is close and has convenient transportation.
Ye Fan stayed in Yongcheng for two days and then went to Hangzhou with Ma Jianhua. Ma Jianhua's wife went to pick them up. In the past, Ma Jianhua's wife always felt that Ye Fan was too powerful and she was not the same person, and she once thought that Ye Fan didn't know how to enjoy his blessings. Later, Ma Jianhua's business expanded and she was required to accompany Ma Jianhua to attend events. The rich wife could help her husband chat with his business partners. She only knew how to dress up and cook and make soup, but she felt inferior.
After several visits in a row, she also wanted to join the company. However, Ma Jianhua's company specializes in electronic products. She can't even get a signal from the TV and can't figure out whether her phone bill is in arrears. She doesn't know much about computers.
When I first heard that Ye Fan knew the owner of the clothing factory in Hangzhou, she was very good at dressing up, and I felt that my opportunity had come. So she saw that Ye Fan was very enthusiastic and asked Ye Fan to come to her house for dinner.
When we got home, Ma Jianhua's parents just finished cooking. Ma Jianhua's wife personally served Ye Fan soup. There was dessert after the meal, and Ye Fan was asked to stay at her house.
Ye Fan didn't like staying at other people's houses, so she said it was far away from her company office and she needed to go to the office for a meeting early tomorrow morning. Ma Jianhua's wife gave him a wink. Ye Fan saw it and said, "Lao Ma said that my sister-in-law wants to open a clothing store? I plan to go to the wholesale market after finishing the work in the store. When will you have time?"
Ma Jianhua's wife was very excited and blurted out: "Any time!"
Ye Fan: "Then you stay at home and wait for my call?"
Mrs. Ma nodded repeatedly and sent Ye Fan downstairs to watch the staff pick her up before going upstairs: "Mrs. Ye is quite nice."
Ma Jianhua sighed: "Bad habit!" He thought of something and said, "Her lover's surname is Geng. I don't call her Mr. Ye because she takes her husband's surname of Ye. Her surname is Ye."
"Huh? She doesn't take her husband's surname?"
Ma Jianhua: "There is no such rule in mainland China. She was called Ye Fan before she got married, and she was also called Ye Fan after she got married."
"——I thought it was her husband and her last name. Ye is the leaf of the leaf, and fan is the fan of the pear flower."
Ma Jianhua was shocked.
His wife was ashamed: "Well, you didn't say which Fan it was, or what her husband's surname was. You can't blame me."
Ma Jianhua took a deep breath: "Let me say it again, there is no one in the mainland who takes his husband's surname. Not in Lingnan, not in Jiangnan, not in the capital, not in the northeast, northwest, and southwest!"
"I know, I know." Mrs. Ma couldn't help but mutter: "I didn't expect it to be like this in the mainland."
Ma Jianhua: "It's always been like this! There are also some situations that are different from those in the mainland. In the future, you have to carefully observe the other person's expression when you hear words that are different from those in Hong Kong. Some women in Hong Kong think that it is good not to go out to work, but in the mainland it is just the opposite. Many women People in Hangzhou say they like their sons, but don’t think they don’t like their daughters. If you really follow their words and say something about your daughter, you will definitely offend someone, but one thing is, you can’t make enemies for me!”
The fact that Ye Fan's "Ye" was not her husband's surname had a great impact on her, so Mrs. Ma didn't dare not take it to heart, and solemnly expressed that she remembered it.
Ye Fan probably never dreamed that Mrs. Ma always thought her husband's surname was Ye.
Having said that, Ye Fan returned to the capital, and the employees recruited this year have also passed their internship period and officially stayed in the company.
Ye Fan walked around upstairs and downstairs, only missing the public relations department, and felt much more at ease.
Ye Fan was very satisfied with the company's achievements after twelve years of establishment. She gave herself a few days off after finishing the company's backlog.
Nothing happened in the evening, so Ye Fan went to pick up Erbao from get off work.
Seeing Er Bao coming out with several male and female colleagues, Ye Fan waited for her to get in the car and asked: "Er Bao, do you have anyone to talk to?"
"Mom!" Erbao was very unhappy: "Do you want me to hate you?"
Ye Fan glanced out the window: "That male colleague only asked because he liked your mother."
"You don't even know what my name is!" Erbao rolled his eyes.
Ye Fan nodded: "You can only tell that he likes you if you don't understand him well. It would be strange for your mother to notice that you are fooling around with your classmates and friends."
"Then, then, you can't say it."
Ye Fan: "You want mom to pretend to be blind? Erbao, mom is not urging the marriage."
"I know, falling in love does not mean getting married. Mom, can you forgive our generation for not being as open-minded as your generation?"
Ye Fan nodded: "We are catching up on getting rid of all kinds of old ideas and customs, but you are indeed not as enlightened as us." Tsk, "People of our generation pursue whoever they like directly. You think about it before and after -"
"You were not guilty of hooliganism at that time, but you are now!" Erbao interrupted, "I don't want to discuss this issue with you."
Ye Fan: "You love working and don't have time to find a partner. Mom respects you. This is the premise. It's not just because of the worldly view that you will get married once you're in a relationship, and you don't dare to find a partner because you're afraid of getting married."
"Am I that timid?"
Ye Fan said: "Then someone asks you to go out to play later, will you go?"
"If my classmates and friends invite me, I will go. If your business partners and the children of your father's comrades invite me, I won't go. I'm not familiar with them!"
Ye Fan stopped the car, waited for the red light, and touched his daughter's head.
Erbao opened it with one hand: "This trick is useless. Mom, if you are free, go and play with dad. Also, if you want to hold a grandson, go and play with brother."
"Your brother is an unfilial son. Who knows where he has gone." Ye Fan has not seen his son for several months. Which satellite launch base should he be at.
Erbao: “Where is my father?”
Ye Fan looked at her with a half-smile but not a smile: "You don't know?"
The diplomatic department has been very busy recently. Diplomats are in the front and the military is in the back. It is impossible for the front to be busy and the rear to have nothing to do. Erbao and his colleagues are chatting in front, and the rear must be well prepared.
Realizing this, Erbao thought that her father had no time to go home: "No wonder you are so busy making trouble for me!"
"Am I free to pick you up?"
Erbao likes it when her mother comes to pick her up, and she says, "I didn't ask you to pick me up!"
