Chapter 268: Adults Meet
Tang Zifeng stayed in Tengcun for a few days, learned about Tengji and all aspects of Tengcun City, and then left. Before leaving, he agreed on a plan with Zhou Heng, the basic idea is to continue to guide public opinion, put some pressure on Tengji's employees, and make them feel that only merging into Linyi is the way out for Tengji.
Tengji has more than 5,000 employees, and of course these people's thoughts cannot be completely consistent, some employees do not have much resistance to the merger of the enterprise, and some employees are completely unacceptable. What Tang Zifeng and Zhou Heng have to do is to let these two types of people fully collide, let the former convince the latter, or at least suppress the arrogance of the latter, so as to create a better atmosphere for future mergers.
In order to achieve this goal, Tang Zifeng also told Zhou Heng to weaken some efforts to open up the market, and even released some rumors, saying that he might have to leave Tengji. In doing so, Tengji's employees can feel that the future is worrying, so they will have the idea of looking for a life-saving straw.
The so-called arrogance or arrogance, in the final analysis, it has not reached the point of exhaustion. Everyone thinks that life can be passable, and they are naturally unwilling to be subservient. If Zhou Heng really left, Teng Ji slid to the brink of collapse again, and everyone would not be so hypocritical.
This kind of ideological change, of course, can not be completed overnight, and it is necessary to give Tengji employees enough time to discuss and think. Tang Zifeng believes that in the face of the cruel reality, they will definitely make the right choice.
Coming out of Teng Village, Tang Zifeng returned to the capital first. Now the capital is already a very important transit station for Tang Zifeng. His parents have settled in the capital, his girlfriend goes to school in the capital, and the Canglong Research Institute and the 20 Secretariat also have offices in the capital, not to mention that the Ministry of Machinery is also in the capital.
"How many days can I stay at home when I come back this time?"
At home in the capital, her mother Xu Guixiang asked while helping Tang Zifeng pack up the dirty clothes he brought back from a business trip.
"I can stay for three or four days, I have to go back to the department, and a few customers are going to visit as well. Tang Zifeng replied vaguely. His mouth was stuffed, and the bowl of the sea in front of him was filled with hot, fragrant chicken soup.
Hearing that he came back today, Xu Guixiang stewed an old hen waiting for him in advance, and what kind of codonopsis wolfberry was put in it, which was extremely nourishing. Although Tang Zifeng has no shortage of food wherever he goes, there is a kind of malnutrition, called Mom thinks you are malnourished, but whenever Tang Zifeng is at home, Xu Guixiang has to feed him with a lot of fish and meat, for fear that he will not eat well.
"Let's find a time to ask Wen Jun to come to the house for a meal? Xu Guixiang said with a smile.
In the eyes of outsiders and Tang Zifeng's parents, the relationship between Tang Zifeng and Xiao Wenjun is self-evident. When Tang Zifeng came to the capital, he would occasionally take Xiao Wenjun home for a meal. When Tang Zifeng didn't return to the capital for a long time, Xiao Wenjun would also take the initiative to come over and chat with his parents. In the minds of the old couple, they have long regarded this girl as their prospective daughter-in-law, and the only suspense is when the two plan to get the certificate and do things.
In fact, between Tang Zifeng and Xiao Wenjun, they have always maintained a state of imminent separation. According to Xiao Wenjun's roommates Liu Yidan and Dong Xiao, there is platonic love between these two, and they are heart-to-heart, but no one takes the lead in breaking this layer of window paper.
Sometimes, Tang Zifeng himself thinks it's ridiculous, the two of them have already reached this level, but they still have to pretend to be respectful to each other, who is this coaxing?
The reason may be that both of them enjoy this hazy feeling now, and neither wants to spoil the mood. In fact, both of them are extremely intelligent, they can see each other's minds clearly, and language is only used for them to discuss technical issues, emotional things, and a look is enough.
Hearing his mother's request, Tang Zifeng raised his head and said with a smile: "Mom, I really plan to tell you, tomorrow Wen Jun's father is going to the capital on a business trip, I have made an appointment with Wen Jun, and the two families will have a meal together tomorrow." Let's not eat at home, I asked people to order Quanjude in the Asian Games Village, let's go there to eat. ”
"What? Wen Jun's father is coming to the capital!" Xu Guixiang was pleasantly surprised, "So, tomorrow is the meeting of the adults on both sides? By the way, is her mother here?"
"What is her mother doing here?" Tang Zifeng said, "Her father is here on a business trip, and we are just having a meal together by the way." ”
"Can this kind of thing be done by the way!" Xu Guixiang reprimanded, and immediately began to think about it again, "No, the first time the in-laws meet, according to the rules, we have to wrap a red envelope here." If it's in the countryside, it's okay to pack it for 880 yuan. Now that we're in the city, and my in-laws are a chief engineer, I think we should get an 8800, what do you think?"
Tang Zifeng said with a smile: "8800 is enough, according to our family's background, we have to make 80,000 8!"
"88,000 ah......" Xu Guixiang thought seriously, she nodded and said, "What you said also makes sense." Look at it, Wen Jun is a doctor from Tsinghua University, and you are a college student. My in-laws are leaders and scientists, and your father and I are both farmers, so we are a little unworthy of others. Therefore, if we have less money, we are afraid that people will pick our reason. ”
"You can't take it seriously, right?" Tang Zifeng was dumbfounded. Originally, he just wanted to tease, but his mother became serious. If you think about it, he is the only boy in the family, and if the family marries a daughter-in-law this time, his parents will definitely treat him very ceremoniously.
Don't look at the fact that his family's assets are tens of millions now, but his parents still feel that they are from a peasant background, and they are naturally half shorter in front of the city people, not to mention that Xiao Ming is also a senior engineer who enjoys bureau-level treatment, which is simply what makes Tang Lin and Xu Guixiang feel that they need to look up.
If you feel that there is a gap between you and the other person's portal, then you have to fill it with money. Tang Zifeng casually said that he needed to wrap a red envelope of 80,008, and Xu Guixiang took it seriously. She didn't want to think about how big a stack of 80,008 cash was, if she slapped such a stack of cash in front of Xiao Ming, it would be strange if Xiao Ming wasn't scared.
"Mom, you're thinking too much. Tang Zifeng couldn't cry or laugh, "Lao Xiao is also an ordinary person." In the past two years, I have been to Wulang several times, and I have eaten with Lao Xiao more than once or twice, you really don't need to be so nervous, just treat it as an ordinary relative meeting. ”
"Is there a son-in-law like you!" Xu Guixiang was annoyed, ripped off a sleeve casually, slapped Tang Zifeng on the back of the head, and scolded: "What Lao Xiao, that's your father-in-law, you have to call your dad too, don't be big or small all day long." ”
"Is this what he asked me to call well!" Tang Zifeng covered his head and protested, "Mom, your son is now also the executive deputy director of a large state-owned factory, and when he walks to their 17th institute, he has to come out to receive them in person, and Lao Xiao can only be regarded as accompanying him." ”
Tang Zifeng's words are a bit bragging. When he first went to the 17th Institute, he was indeed a little big or small in front of Xiao Ming, and he also patted Xiao Ming on the shoulder when he drank and called Xiao Ming a brother. But later, his relationship with Xiao Wenjun became closer and closer, and he didn't dare to be too presumptuous when he saw Xiao Ming again.
In the past two years, he has been to 17 schools several times, and he was also invited to Xiao Ming's house for dinner and was inspected by his mother-in-law. Xiao Ming's initial impression of him was not particularly good, and of course this was also influenced by Qin Zhongnian. But later, Xiao Ming looked at him more and more pleasing to the eye. Especially after Tang Zifeng was appointed as the executive deputy director of Linyi Machine and presided over the work, Xiao Ming became more and more at ease with this prospective son-in-law. In Xiao Ming's view, the eyes of the organization are bright, since the organization can entrust Tang Zifeng with important tasks, it means that this young man's talent and moral character are passable, what reason does he have to dislike this young man?
When he was in the 17th Institute, Tang Zifeng called Xiao Ming Chief Engineer Xiao in front of other people, and in private, he called Uncle Xiao very sweet. The title of "Lao Xiao", Tang Zifeng only dared to say it behind his back, purely to get over his addiction.
Xu Guixiang didn't know these situations, she said angrily: "That was the time of work, and now it's time for the adults in the family to meet." Are you going to call your father-in-law Lao Xiao when you meet?"
"That's not it, Wen Jun is next to her, so I have to save face for her. Tang Zifeng muttered in a low voice.
"You're smart. Xu Guixiang said angrily.
Tang Zifeng said: "Mom, I'll listen to you when it comes to the title." But don't wrap up the red envelope, you'll scare my father-in-law away. My father-in-law is an honest child...... Uh, I mean, he's an honest guy who doesn't understand these people. Actually, I found so much work for his daughter and earned so much money, and my father-in-law's mother-in-law's house in Wulang is equivalent to what I bought for them, what do you say you need to wrap in red envelopes?"
"Earning money is earning money, the first time the in-laws meet, the man gives a red envelope, it is our rule there, don't give inappropriate ......," Xu Guixiang said sneeringly. Tang Zifeng said so surely, she couldn't insist on it, who knows what kind of temper the people in this city have, in case people really don't like this set, they have to hand red envelopes to others, but it will embarrass them.
The plan to make red envelopes was denied, and Xu Guixiang began to ponder other etiquette. She urgently called Tang Lin, who was working in the company, back and informed him of the incident. Then, the old couple got busy like headless flies, preparing gifts, looking for suitable clothes, and nervously discussing what to say when meeting with the prospective in-laws, and how to say it, and even showing a few teeth when smiling.
"You can toss it yourself, I'd better go to the company first. Tang Zifeng couldn't stand the excitement of the old couple, so he went out with his bag.
